Counter-Currents
Mizzy (right), who has been making TikTok videos about harassing random white people in London in highly illegal ways and then crying “racism” when anyone tries to stop him.

Bad chemistry
I wrote in Counter-Currents in 2021 about Professor Kathleen Stock, a philosophy lecturer hounded from her post at my alma mater, the University of Sussex, by student activists for her comments and writings on gender identity. She has recently been “deplatformed” by Oxford University, and has now come under attack from a curious source: the Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC).
You might assume these eggheads would be busy publishing peer-reviewed papers on enzymes, salts, and various reactions in test-tubes, but their remit seems considerably wider in these heady days of woke kangaroo courts. The RSC’s new journal, Digital Discovery, has as its mission statement to publish “theoretical and experimental research at the intersection of chemistry, material science and biotechnology.” A recent paper by Professor John Herbert, however, was entitled “Academic free speech or right-wing grievance?” and singles out Professor Stock for more chastisement. And this is not a politically-correct aside — the paper is 37 pages long.
The document, presumably peer-reviewed by drag queens, is peppered with the language of diversity and inclusion rather than any actual chemistry and, while it might be brushed off by telling the RSC to stay in lane, is indicative of the gradual creep of woke ideology into the STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) subjects. Next week the Royal Society of Engineers may tell you why your children need puberty blockers, and the Confederation of British Industry will ask, “Which tuck bikini should trans women wear on the beach this summer?”
Theater news
To Drury Lane, cabbie! Drury Lane is traditionally London’s Broadway, although not as glitzy. London’s theatrical season looks interesting this year, although not so much for what audiences will be seeing as what they won’t.
John Cleese is involved in a stage production of Monty Python’s Life of Brian, and the censor has moved in early. Many of the film’s scenes are famous, particularly the one featuring Eric Idle claiming he no longer wants to be called Stan but is now a woman called Loretta, and it’s because he wants to have babies. Reg, played by Cleese, is completely bemused by this and tells him he can’t have babies. It is decided that the People’s Front of Judea will support Loretta’s right to have babies. This, say the censors, has got to go.
Given that this scene predicts the diktats of trans enforcers today, this seems curious, but the problem is that the context is mockery. Yes, say today’s gender police, men can have babies, menstruate, lactate, and so on, but you must proudly affirm this anti-biological voodoo, not laugh at it. A later Cleese line from the same scene sums up the trans agitators of today, when it is suggested that fighting for Stan’s right to have babies is “symbolic of our struggle against oppression.” Cleese replies,
“It’s symbolic of his struggle against reality.”
Let’s catch up on black theater. Tambo and Bones are traditional American minstrel characters, and a play of the same name is now playing in London, updated to include hip-hop and, of course, America’s racist past, without which no black play would be complete. In the racist present, however, there is another twist. For the performance of the show on July 5, white people are being requested not to attend. This is to save both the audience and actors from something called “the white gaze.” I wonder what might happen if the evil white gaze of the white devils stayed away from all black theatrical events, as well as cinema, and throw in music and art while you’re at it. I suspect it might adversely affect revenue.
Cardiff Arms
Cardiff Arms Park is a famous rugby venue in the Welsh capital, but there was a different call to arms this month in a country which usually keeps its displays of violence on the rugby field. Two boys, 15 and 16, were killed in an accident in which they were both riding an electric scooter. Social media lit up with the rumor that this was the result of a police chase, and a riot ensued that would have garnered applause from the Portland antifa. Traditionally, the only things burnt down in Wales are English holiday homes and the occasional wicker man, but there was a regular carbeque on Cardiff’s streets, including missile-throwing which left 11 police officers hospitalized.
Malicious police involvement is the default position for the death of any miscreant youth anywhere in the West, and the Cardiff police denied the presence of any of their vehicles on the roads at the time of the accident. The problem is that closed-circuit TV tells a different story.
The British police have to tread very carefully in the United Kingdom at the moment. In the United States, although Democrats want to defund and shackle the police, most Republicans still respect the badge and the job it does. In Britain the police have achieved the unique feat of being despised by both sides of the political divide, the Left because it is their default position and the Right because the police are more likely to visit your home if you have tweeted that you’re not sure about drag queen story hour than if your house has been ransacked. Summer is almost here and, now that Black Lives Matter is nearing bankruptcy amid rumors of serious embezzlement, its British chapter may not have the stomach to do much rioting. But it seems others might. The police may find out that the public are not overly sympathetic to their pride flags, and would do well not to antagonize them further.
Black mischief
Victorian Britons paid a small fee to enter Bedlam, the lunatic asylums which were then common, to watch the inmates’ grimacing, shrieking, and contortions. Now that the asylums are all gone and the contents are to be found on the streets, we have TikTok as an equivalent freak show. Most of the exhibits are state-of-the-art: piercings, bad hair-dying, transitioning, and similar signs of mental illness. But British YouTuber Mizzy represents a far nastier side to this platform.
You can buy Mark Gullick’s Vanikin in the Underworld here.
Mizzy is 18 and black. He and his crew film themselves “pranking” people — always white people. They walk uninvited into someone’s house and sit down, only leaving when the husband tells them there are small children in the house. One walks onto a taxi’s roof. A woman is approached at a tube station and asked if she wants to die, as is a guy with his girlfriend, who is then followed into a restaurant and harassed. In a park, Mizzy steals a woman’s dog and runs off with it. These stunts are malevolent, aggressive, and utterly brazen, as are the perpetrators.
Mizzy got himself the airtime he wanted, and when Piers Morgan called him an idiot, he naturally blamed all the fuss on racism. The line was crossed, as it often is, when Jewry became involved, in this case Mizzy hassling a Hasidic Jew in north London. He was finally arrested — doubtless only when the police feared negative publicity – but, predictably, was given merely a derisory fine and ordered to post no more videos for two years. If young blacks, who are not constrained by the police in any event, escalate these “pranks” it will become a vicious new chapter in the urban terrorism they already perpetrate.
There’s one warm note, however: Mizzy has recently had a child, so we have much to look forward to in the future.
MiniTru 2.0
I have tried my best not to mention Orwell’s 1984, but there is no escape. It is well known that Orwell based the novel’s Ministry of Truth on the BBC, where he famously worked. His statue — rather a good one — stands outside BBC House today. But, to wheel out once more that tired truism that the book was intended as a novel and not an instruction manual, the BBC have fulfilled Orwell’s prophecy.
The corporation often referred to as the “state broadcaster” has now introduced a new initiative: BBC Verify. This will be a fact-checking arm of what the British call “Auntie” or “the Beeb.” The new “misinformation Czar” (although strictly speaking a Czarina), Marianna Spring, explained that the new initiative would, among other things, be fact-checking conspiracy theories and connecting them back to “far-Right figures.”
Counter to its specific Royal Charter requirement to remain politically impartial, the BBC is as impartial as a fanatical soccer supporter at a game, and it particularly despises those it describes as “far-Right” (a catch-all phrase meaning anyone not exactly in step with the prevailing ideology). So, we can expect a large slice of its investigative resources to be aimed at such Hitlerian figures as Nigel Farage.
Turn Right at the next available opportunity
But we have an optimistic note on which to end. Americans will be familiar with RINOs, or Republicans in Name Only. The British have an equivalent, and it’s called the Conservative Party. There are very few actual conservatives in the party, and those that do exist are shunned by those who know their place. In the case of rogue Member of Parliament Andrew Bridgen, they are hounded out of the party, and Mr. Bridgen joined Laurence Fox’s Reclaim Party — giving them their first MP — for the sin of retweeting a tweet deemed anti-Semitic, always a step too far, as we saw above.
It feels hopelessly optimistic to say that the National Conservatism Conference 2023 might offer a gleam of hope to the conservative position in the UK, but if the featured speakers were the actual rump of the party itself, it is hard to believe Britain would be as mired in socialism as it is under the current Tory regime. I haven’t had time to watch them all, but I can recommend the speeches by Matthew Goodwin, Melanie Phillips, and the always-excellent Douglas Murray. Perhaps, when the current decline finally bumps along the bottom, these conservatives might salvage the sunken ship of state.
Eyes to the Right!
The Union Jackal.

“…the gradual creep of woke ideology into the STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) subjects. ”
There’s a certain sort of spergy rightwinger, often found in the comments at Unz.com, whose reaction to the rise of Wokery is “Who cares about the humanities, all us high-IQ folks are in STEM, which is all that matters anyway.” Hesse, however, made the point in The Glass Bead Game that if scholars in the humanities don’t hew to the absolute value of truth, soon the clocks won’t work and the bridges will be falling down as well. And indeed we see, over the last few years, that all those “high IQ” STEM fields are falling like dominoes to the Woke ideology. Instead of mocking “soft” fields they should have been being that much more protective, rather than turning them over to the Woke. (Interesting how those “high IQ” Jews don’t seem to mind taking over the humanities; almost as if there were a plan).
“Marianna Spring, explained that the new initiative would, among other things, be fact-checking conspiracy theories and connecting them back to “far-Right figures.””
Evidence that the Left is in total control (if we needed any) is that all “conspiracy theories” are presumed to be “far Right.” Doesn’t the Left have any? I recall that Alexander Cockburn, stern tribune of the far out Left, even endorsed the “conspiracy theory” that fluoride was a bad thing (his theory was that this by-product of the aluminum industry was being dumped into the water supply so as to handle all that toxic waste). Shake hands with Gen. Ripper!
The reason is that the operational definition of “conspiracy theory” is “a theory contrary to the Official Narrative” and so, by definition, no Leftist idea can be a “conspiracy theory” since the Official Narrative is Leftist.

Some interesting work showing that the left subscribes to different conspiracy theories.
I’m afraid I’m going to have to agree with the Royal Society of Chemistry on this one.
Everyone in STEM knows that trans-isomers are typically more stable than cis ones.
— from wiki
Stability[edit]
Usually for acyclic systems trans isomers are more stable than cis isomers. This is typically due to the increased unfavorable steric interaction of the substituents in the cis isomer. Therefore, trans isomers have a less-exothermic heat of combustion, indicating higher thermochemical stability.[7] … Exceptions to this rule exist, such as 1,2-difluoroethylene, 1,2-difluorodiazene (FN=NF), …
(sadly I can’t upload pixs of stereoisomers here on CC)
Thus Professor Stock, suporting the theory of greater cis stability in her gender comments, should be ostracized at the very least.
Also there is a strong movement not to hire any white STEM men as blacks are highly sought. In cases where a black research chemist with relevant credentials can’t be located for inexplicable reasons, companies and the Gov’t fall back on hiring Indian & Chinese STEMs. Although they do have an unfortunate tendency to sneak out of the country with flash-drives filled with data, their IQs are at least double that of whites. Thus white chemists at the RCS are terrified for their jobs.
We also know (from UK T.V.’s Sapphire and Steel) that Transuranic heavy elements may not be used where there is life.
That’s horrible.
Speaking of movies I now can understand how “Transylvania” has been used to demonize (literally!) Trans people for at least 100 years. Utterly despicable,.. deplorable too.
In keeping with the STEM commentary: From “The Journal of Blacks in Higher Education: dedicated to the conscientious investigation of the status and prospects of African Americans in [American] higher education.”
“In 2021, a total of 1,938 doctoral degrees were awarded in geotechnical and geoenvironmental engineering, civil, environmental, and transportation engineering, materials and mining engineering, engineering mechanics, geochemistry, climatology, marine biology, marine sciences, applied mathematics, algebra/number theory, history of science, astronomy, theoretical chemistry, atomic/molecular physics, condensed matter physics, nuclear physics, theoretical physics, general anthropology, agricultural economics, applied linguistics, and Spanish. None went to an African American.”
Why do you suppose that is? Must be either racism or a lack of interest/ability.

As disturbing as the Mizzy videos are, what is equally disturbing was the response from the man confronting him in his own house. I am certainly not a tough guy and I haven’t even been in a fist fight since junior high, but if anybody comes in my house without permission, ESPECIALLY if my two young daughters are present, they will be getting shot or at the very least have the living shit kicked out of them.
Imagine what would happen in the US if you shot or beat up a group of black guys who walked into your house when the door was left open. At the very least, you’d be tied up in court for years, even if you were ultimately exonerated. Now imagine that, but ten times worse. That’s the situation in the UK today.
Here’s a story about two people who lost their jobs simply for calling 911 while trying to defend their workplace from thieves: https://nypost.com/2023/05/27/lululemon-employees-reportedly-fired-for-calling-911-during-robbery/
I understand, especially the difference between here in the U.S. and where this guy lives. But if I saw three or four thugs in my house, regardless of how they got in, my freedom takes a back seat to the safety of my kids and wife, and there is no benefit of the doubt as to their intentions. I must assume they mean to do my family harm and I will react deliberately and accordingly regardless of whatever may lay in store for me down the road.
The heat would come down on someone who seriously harmed black home invaders in the U.K. but a few years ago a householder in London killed a burglar by shoving a screwdriver through his neck and the police who arrested the assailant never laid charges because of community support. The burglar was white with a black accomplice who fled. Another case around the same time was prosecuted – a Londoner who suffered insomnia and was out in the street before his house in the early hours saw a Muslim man enter his house through the open front door, gave chase and wound up in a ferocious fight in the hall which involved the radiator getting ripped off the wall. The Muslim intruder fled into the back garden and was trapped. The householder got a knife from his kitchen and went into the garden where he stabbed the intruder dozens of times resulting in his death. The jury found him not guilty of murder or manslaughter. So while the British authorities and media overwhelming oppose self-defense rights (or castle laws) the general public has increasingly turned sympathetic to people using deadly force in their homes.
The two cases you cited took place a few years ago when there was more sanity. I’m not sure the outcomes would be the same in 2023.
I know why he looked so anxious. He didn’t see a prank but a home invasion, and a home invasion by blacks invariably means knives. Mayor Khan won’t enforce stop and search, which he says is racist. In fact, Khan couldn’t care less about dead black kids. For him, the only good black is a convert. What I suspect might happen next is that this becomes the new medium by which young blacks in London terrorise whites, and there will be a ramping up of what these malchicks are prepared to do. Well done for staying out of fist-fights!
Many of us have seen Life of Brian some time ago, then gasp at the the prescience of the clip you shared. We shouldn’t avoid making reference to 1984, which many have read once upon a time, but allow the masses to see the modern parallels around the world.
Cyber-jew (((Yoram Hazony)))’s National Conservative vehicle is a limited hang-out featuring (((Melanie Phillips))) and tame Jew-reverent, anti-Muslim, anti-Tranny homosexual Douglas Murray. It represents a backstop position that Jews can live with, which lures in most of those opposed to the leading edge of the society-wrecking agenda and at which the mind-controlled left can rant. It may be a vehicle to establish the ‘logical’ position of letting Jews run the world while the rest of us merrily miscgenate or bear no fruit because, as our screens tell us, it is good and holy so to do.

Ok. I have listened now to Matthew Goodwin and I agree he is a good speaker with a resonant voice carrying a resonant and appealing message. Perhaps the thinking is to make good some or all of the damage wrought in the last thirty years at the cost of repression of all anti-Jewish expression. Most of the populace would willingly go along with this since they already view Jews as semi-divine beings who look and sound just like us anyway. Free speech is deemed a fetish by the majority.
So, there are still those who do not have the perception or eagle eyed view of say Jordan e.g.”merrie england 2000″ and they remain mystified with the ongoing decline in the UK and the rest of the west. myopics without glasses will run into a wall at some point. some person named Pierce made similar observations a while ago, so this current article is nothing new.
Negro thought bubble (Ebonics-to-English translation):
“Whitey, it has never been easier to legally harass and/or attack you. And god! it’s fun.
“We abhor you for a number of reasons. Knowing that, and knowing the negro, you can’t expect anything else from us, can you?
“Until you decide to give us and your other enemies either the boot or the Emmett-Till treatment, we will continue to give you the this-is-what-we-do-and-always-have.”
