"During more than 40 years of active journalism, including a stint as a defence reporter, I have never once been prevented from writing anything by a so-called "D" Notice (nowadays they are officially called DSMA notices, if you care), until now. I used to scoff when people told me that such things were common, or that I was constrained in reporting by them. Now I cannot"-
Peter Hitchens Column Saturday April 30, 2022
"In the United Kingdom, a DSMA-Notice (Defense and Security Media Advisory Notice) is an official request to news editors not to publish or broadcast items on specified subjects for reasons of national security..."
Wikipedia Article On "DSMA-Notice"
British journalist Peter Hitchens, the contrarian conservative journalist and outspoken defender of British tradition and traditional values including a Christian aversion to war, now finds himself constrained in his work by a government order.
The order comes amidst the conflict in Ukraine which increasingly concerns Mr. Hitchens who was able to write and publish this regarding he situation in his weekly column this weekend.
"It is time to ask some very simple questions about the Ukraine crisis, which each day threatens to spread, very dangerously indeed.
I never really believed there was a nuclear danger in the Cold War, which I lived through. Now it think there is one.
Though this country is not actually at war with Russia, and has no defence treaty with Ukraine, politicians and other supporters of this conflict often refer to "we" when discussing it.
Who is this "we"? What British national interest is served by deeper involvement in what is at root a Russo-American war? Must we again be the fifth wheel in America's cart?
How much are you prepared to pay in taxes for the munitions we send? If, as is horribly possible...

I had not heard of that.
And a great question, too.
“And a great question, too.”
Yea, I’m curious if the people here have figured it out. It’s a very simple reason!
“The REAL QUESTION that we should have for the Neocons and Bidenistas is the following: Why are they so hell-bent on PERMANENTLY ending Western Culture? I wonder if anyone has figured out the answer yet?”
Great question.
I believe that the elites envision a world where a small group has total power and control—and everyone else is their de facto slaves.
Western culture dethroned the Kings and created a mass culture where the great unwashed held political power.
The Wannabe Kings want that power back.
One side has a robust and updated civilian civil defense.
One side does not.
That is why nuclear deterrence is a dead concept—Ozzie and Harriet stuff.
I believe you. Biden is the worst nightmare I could imagine.
Remember he spoke of a new world order and that America must emerge on top.

Me either, but it certainly happened in Canada.
The defamer of Trump Christopher Steele (”Steele Dossier”) a British intelligence asset indeed.
No amount of civil defence preparation would change the fact that all Russia’s major towns and cities would be reduced to radioactive rubble and the vast majority of their citizens dead.
There might be some people in Siberia or underground bunkers that avoid relatively unscathed in the immediate aftermath but life thereafter for those relatively few would be a ghastly struggle and it’s hard to see how it would be worth reducing Russia to that state just because Britain itself would be annihilated entirely. After trying to fend off starvation throughout a long nuclear winter many of the survivors would come to envy those who died in the initial strikes.
What a load of nonsense. Russia has form for this not just in the UK but even within it’s own borders with Navalny. If MI5 had instigated this op why have they identified specific individuals they followed a radioactive trail to?
And why would they not have them killed to make sure they can’t talk?
Russia is a very large country.
There are parts of it that could not be hit with nuclear weapons without causing massive fallout over either China or Japan.
That combined with their civil defense advantage makes them a winner in any nuclear war scenario.
I know you don’t want to hear it, but you can be sure the insiders in DC know it.
A global nuclear war would have no winners. Russia would have more survivors but they would be living nasty, short and brutish lives struggling in the remains of a shattered world. I doubt any Russian leader is going to calculate that a nuclear war is desirable on the basis that some villages in Siberia and bunkers in remote locations will survive the most immediate consequences of a nuclear war. Moscow, St Petersburg and every other city or town with more than 10,000 residents would be destroyed, that is enough to deter Russia from starting a nuclear war even if they emerged slightly less devastated by comparison.
LOL, yeah that deadly Russian nerve gas that everybody survives. You morons think Navalny got nerve gassed on an airliner. Then went to Germany for treatment.
It’s so ignorant.
But keep believing those 17 intelligence agencies.
