Four thick ledgers compiled by Special Branch officers have been kept under lock and key since the Whitechapel murders in 1888.

Trevor Marriott, a Ripper investigator and former murder squad detective, has spent three years attempting to obtain uncensored versions of the documents.

But he has been repeatedly refused because the ledgers contain the identities of police informants – and the Metropolitan Police insist that revealing the information could compromise their attempts to gather information from “supergrasses” and other modern-day informants.

Last week, Mr Marriott took Scotland Yard to a tribunal in a last-ditch attempt to see the journals – containing 36,000 entries – which he believes contain evidence which could finally unmask the world’s most famous serial killer.

The legal case has cost the taxpayer thousands of pounds and has even involved a senior Scotland Yard officer giving evidence anonymously from behind a screen.

The ledgers provide details of the police’s dealings with thousands of informants from 1888 to 1912, including some who provided information during the original Ripper investigation.

A sample of about 40 pages from the Scotland Yard ledgers was released to last week’s tribunal, but with the names of informants and other key details blacked out.

According to Mr Marriott, the files contain the names of at least four new suspects, as well as other pieces of evidence.

He said: “I believe this to be the very last chance that we may have to solve the mystery of Jack the Ripper.

“To have any possibility of getting near the truth about those horrific crimes we must see what these ledgers contain.

“It may be that within them we find the final piece of the jigsaw that would unlock this mystery and lead to the identity of the killer, or killers, albeit 123 years too late.”

Jack the Ripper slaughtered at least five women between August and November 1888 in the slums of Whitechapel, east London, but various experts have claimed other murders may have been committed by the killer on earlier and later dates.

The police made several mistakes in the inquiry and detection techniques of the time were basic – with no fingerprinting and science unable even to distinguish between animal and human blood.

As a result, there is no conclusive evidence to point to the true identity of Jack the Ripper and the case remains one of the world’s great unsolved mysteries. Among a long list of possible suspects are Queen Victoria’s grandson the Duke of Clarence, who died in an asylum in 1892, and the painter Walter Sickert.

Mr Marriott, who joined Bedfordshire Police in 1970 and worked as a detective constable until the mid-1980s, began researching the Jack the Ripper case in 2003. He has previously published one book on the subject which put forward the name of Carl Feigenbaum, a German merchant executed for the murder of a woman in New York, as a new suspect.

[JdN: Now we are getting warm…..and the Jews constantly provide clues in even the most censored articles so other Jews will “get it.”]

On uncovering references to the ledgers in 2008, Mr Marriott applied to see the documents under the Freedom of Information Act. The Met refused and he appealed to the Information Commissioner who also decided the books should not be revealed.

Now Mr Marriott has undergone the final appeal stage to the Information Tribunal, in which the case is heard by a panel of three judges.

The three-day hearing involved a detective inspector, identified only as ‘D’, speaking to the court from behind a screen because of his sensitive role running the force’s intelligence-gathering operation from informants.

Detective Inspector ‘D’ told the tribunal that unveiling the files could deter informants from coming forward in future, and could even put off members of the public from phoning Crimestoppers or the antiterrorist hotline.

“The interpretation on the street will be that the police have revealed the identity of informants,” said ‘D’.

“Confidence in the system is maintaining the safety of informants, regardless of age.”

Det Insp ‘D’ said the passage of time did not make publication of informants’ identities less sensitive because their descendants could be targeted by criminals with a grudge.

“Look at one of the world’s best-known informants, Judas Iscariot. If someone could draw a bloodline from Judas Iscariot to a present day person then that person would face a risk, although I know that seems an extreme example,” the officer said.

Another senior officer, Detective Superintendent Julian McKinney, told the tribunal that releasing names would make police officers less capable of preventing terrorist attacks and organised crime, and make informants vulnerable to attack.

Det Supt McKinney said: “Regardless of the time, regardless of whether they are dead, they should never be disclosed.

“They come to us only when they have the confidence in our system that their identity will not be disclosed.”

But Mr Marriott said a number of historical files have previously been released which contained details of informants.

He argued there was no evidence to show descendants of informants who have been named had come to harm.

The tribunal decision is expected later this year.

================SEEKING THE MAGIC HERO

I got a sarcastic email from a supporter who means well and has sent some small amount of money and other useful things, but lashes out when frustrated. I replied:

* * *

Sorry, but your notions are a bit romantic, comrade, about both people and politics.

Remember that Adolf Hitler was ignored and bashed too by the other “leaders.”

Adolf in 1916

He got 2.6 % of the vote in 1928 after eight years of work.

WNs dream that “if only we had a Hitler today…” Well, suppose they did? In reality, they would reject him as the vast majority of German antisemites rejected Hitler. (In fact, the whole country was somewhat antisemitic and yet it rejected Hitler!)

Both the WNs and the general population scorned Hitler in 1928. He was very well known after the 1923 putsch attempt — which he botched by naively — blue-eyedly — letting his enemies leave captivity, the very ones he had just overthrown, on their word of honor to not oppose him!!!). And the masses ignored Hitler as an odd, funny little man with a strange mustache throughout the entire decade of the 1920s.

Hitler’s MISERABLE AND DISHEARTENING election result in 1928 — TWO-POINT-SIX PERCENT! — clearly proved that he was not attracting the masses. Yes, the GREAT HITLER was at that time a DOUBLE FAILURE.

In fact, Chancellor von Paper wanted Hitler made chancellor so he would make a fool of himself in office and then German politics would be rid of him for good.

A NSDAP meeting just before the 1923 putsch in the famous Bürgerbraukeller. Hyper-inflation then wracked the country. In the putsch of November 9 at 8:30 pm, Hitler arrested the goverment, but released it, and failed to secure the telephone network and the railroad stations. 16 followers were killed in the abortive coup; Hitler was shot but survived. He was released after 14 months in prison but was banned from public speaking for four years (until 1927) and from even visiting Prussia (which was most of northern Germany and the location of the capital, Berlin) until 1928. But his pure motives, energy, courage and charisma were recognized by the court and public.

Yes, that is how SURE people were that Hitler was a NUT!

And the Second Book, written in 1928 after the debacle, reflected Hitler’s intense frustration at his lack of support. (He wrote it partly because he was being accused of being an agent of Mussolini for abandoning the South Tyrol issue, just as I am accused of all sorts of defamatory things.)

ONLY the Great Depression and the terrifying rise of the German Communist Party (remember, the USSR, SLAUGHTERING MILLIONS IN THE GULAG, was right next door to German East Prussia) forced the Hitler-ridiculers to fall in step with the NSDAP and cast aside their doubts and excuses.

Well, “if only we had a George Washington” ….Washington won only three of the seven battles where he actually fought the British. Mostly, he spent his time literally retreating from them, and writing letters to Congress and various state legislatures begging for funds so his troops did not desert.

He did not “win” the climactic battle at Yorktown — the French fleet offshore crushed the British fleet (yes, the French do sometimes beat the British, and they beat them in the Hundred Years War too) and French troops, plus the Prussian volunteer, Baron von Steuben, and the French volunteer, the Marquis de Lafayette, sealed the deal. Once the British fleet had fled, the British forces were afraid of being bombarded to death BY THE FRENCH FLEET, cooped up as the “Redcoats” were by the American forces.

Washington modestly asked that General Richard Butler or one of his five sons accept British commander Lord Cornwallis’ sword. (Butler, PA., right up the road from us, is named after Butler, another Norman, who tragically was killed and scalped ten years later fighting the Indians in Ohio. Almost all the 600 American soldiers he led into an ambush were killed. It was a far greater disaster than Custer’s Last Stand at Little Big Horn.)

Well, “if we only had a Thomas Jefferson…” I love TJ, but this fine man also had sex with another man’s wife (which he admitted, bravely enough — yet if I admit things I am told I am “saying way too much“)…. and was so incompetent as governor of Virginia during the British invasion that he left Virginia politics for good after his one term, and only ran after that for the presidency of the US, based solely on his national fame — as the composer of the Declaration of Independence and ambassador to France at a critical time. (In fact, he was in France while the Constitution was being written and had no part in it, unfortunately. He would definitely have strengthened states’ rights and gun rights even more.)

In sum, failing to support a person of great potential is what most people do — and most WNs as well.

And remember, out of the three million people in the American colonies in 1777, exactly six thousand were with George Washington in that terrible winter of 1776-77 at Valley Forge, Pennsylvania.

The vast majority of us are the spiritual descendants of those 2,994,000. Generous to a fault with the critique. 😉

The great men of history are not out for applause; they are on a mission. They just appreciate the support if and when it comes. What others do is THEIR karma…. often very bad karma.

==============THE NORMANS: ENGLAND’S CURSE AND BLESSING

An English comrade of Anglo-Saxon ancestry wrote me:

* * *

It was a few weeks ago when you sent me the PDF regarding the Norman invasion, occupation, genocide and transformation of Anglo-Saxon England (Normans Nov 18 09 to friends) and I thought I would thank you very much for doing so. The article was well written and, most importantly, balanced.

From reading the pdf I can tell that you feel empathy with what happened to our Saxon ancestors, I know you carry the name of a Norman but no doubt you are of Saxon blood. And as you said the Normans had Viking blood who settled in England during various invasions and in fact the original Germanic tribes that invaded England were from a similar area anyway.

I was pleased to see you mention the Jews who did indeed first settle in England in 1066. I was also shocked to discover the death toll of the “Harrowing of the North” could be as high as 100,000. This I found truly shocking.

The book that origInally put me on the path to try to discover more about the Norman conquest was, in fact, a fiction. Julian Rathbone’s Last English King is a good read and I would recommend it. Even if the it’s not totally factual it’s a good story. Julian Rathbone’s other works are, I find, a mixed bag.

I replied:

I can say this about the Normans from whom I descend on both sides (Nugent and Angell):

All societies are ruled by psychopaths today, as my (I believe) extremely important article here shows: https://johndenugent.com/jdn/psychopaths-in-power

And…well, it ain’t much — but it might as well be a Nordic Viking psychopath! 😉 The Normans did make England into an incredibly powerful country, a little island that has changed the whole world. No surprise here that these Vikings transformed agricultural Saxon England into a supreme sea power! The Brits also have a desire to win that the ruthless Normans gave them, and that has made them a valiant and conquering race.

If societies are ruled, on the other hand, by black psychopaths, or mexican or chinese, then the result is a very stagnant society indeed. (China prospers only by MASSIVELY stealing white ideas in every domain.)

Through eugenics we can exclude these psychopathic genes from the British and other white gene pools.

(Btw, psychopathy runs through the mother….and interestingly, juish ancestry is counted only through the mother………………..And now you know, as radio host Paul Harvey used to say, THE REST OF THE STORY.)

We can restore the English-speaking white peoples to all their former greatness — by eugenics and Solutreanism.

Here now is the pdf of The Normans — England’s Blessing and Curse:

CLICK HERE: NORMANS – Dec 12 2009 (10 meg upload and nearly ready for publication. The final version is being prepared now, but I’d really appreciate your feedback on the content before I finalize it.)

There are very important ideas in here and I hope you enjoy the read. Thank you, comrades! These key ideas are at the core of Solutreanism.
