(1628) Evening all.
19. Moo corner
18. Would you stop a shoplifter?
17. Don’t go near Comic Relief
… so many online are warning people … it’s a con.
16. At 1328 are these two chaps and one chapess
Steve with Hearts of Oak: Daniel Greenfield: How [Malsi] Networks Capture Charities, Borders, and Prison Systems.
Plus Lord T has an interesting one, plus Toodles.
Similar set up as earlier … a good plot, well acted, some twists … this time one of the Poirots. Enjoy.
“Just” two TV episodes today but methinks good ones. This I rewatched last evening and it held up well, methought.
(0933) Greetings, Stonehengers
15. March 20th, 2026, at 1446 GMT, oo ah!
A French version of one of these festivals, who knows which one and no … I’m not endorsing it, pretty tune though:
14. State of play in 2026 … three
“Saw”? The state of education downunder right now.
13. State of play in 2026 … three
12. Fitness trackers on?
11. Following on from Fri 6
That was why Carrie Before-Jean went RC, with Gerry Adams, Martin McGuinness and the Bartholomew’s Day massackers, the Borgias, the sun and Mary worship, the indulgences scam Chaucer wrote about, Torquamada et al. How about the Orthodox, the One True Church according to them, with us heretic apostacists dissenting?
All right, how about the Calvinists, burning Savanarola at the stake? How about The Crucible?
In short, you can keep your formalists, pageantry and ritual fetishists, the gobbledegook … please give me a learned scholar among the laity for pointers in understanding. And as for Theocracy? Bye bye.
As for Christendom? Ah … that’s another matter altogether, that’s all sorts of heritage wrapped up in there. /END.
Toodles got a tad annoyed I was mixing my festivals up, calling today’s in her town “pagan” and awful. They have theirs today for some reason … maybe she can send some pics. Actually, I was thinking of the Carnivale thing … you know, Rio, Brazil etc. Naked wimmin.
I did go to one of these spring things over in California, by the beach, not far from Nixonian Dana Point … actually, it was summer … it was nice, plenty of tents in the main street, they had the remnant of The Drifters singing and shufflling … the organisers had a liposuction tent too of all things … The Drifters were very good, plenty of razmatazz going on.
Below is one in Florida … the Americans sure know how to put on a show. What make of violin were they playing, did you notice?
(0745) Morning again, chaps and chapesses. Do you remember yesterday, that Lydia Taylor post of the girl holding up the sign? Here’s an update … it’s the girl’s viewers mainly of course:
10. Moo corner
9. State of play in 2026 … two
8. State of play in 2026 … one

Persia – I had intended to put an X-post up from someone called Munel Lunière. It has video, about which she says:
‘To the whole world:
This is the real Iran. For years and years we all lived like this. You cannot ever imagine something close to what happened to us.
Don’t look away. I know. It’s brutal’
I’ve decided not to post the link and have chosen instead to post a different X-post showing some payback..

JH: Does not expand, here’s a sshot of it:
6. No plans whatever earlier to run this
… it was just there on X:
“I used to be a Zionist. I used to be a dispensational Christian, for my entire life,” @CarriePrejean1 told @TuckerCarlson, until she started studying the early Church Fathers. “Learning about dispensationalism led me to the early Church Fathers and I became Catholic.” “We are the new Israel,” Carrie said. “That’s what the Church teaches,” and she’s exactly right. St. Justin Martyr (d. ca. 165), for example, wrote that Christians are “the true Israelitic race” (Dialogue with Trypho the Jew, Ch. 135):
Similarly, St. Augustine (d. 430) wrote, “They then are more truly Jews, who have been made Christians out of Jews: the rest of the Jews, who in Christ have not believed, have deserved to lose even the very name. The true Judæa, then, is the Church of Christ,” and further, that “the true Sion is the Church of Christians” (Exposition on Psalm 76):
Even Vatican II used the phrase “the new Israel” in reference to the Church (cf. Lumen Gentium, art. 9; Ad Gentes, n. 5). God bless you, Carrie! Keep fighting the good fight (1 Tim. 6:12)! Video source: |https://youtube.com/watch?v=31Lhq-QlP8s&t=5793s“
More soon in Fri 11, maybe 0900, need to get brekky sorted, food ordering.
(0612) Morning all … poisoned wall to wall cloud out there, fine in here.

a) Sexual Abuse in Parisian Schools: The scandal that could cost the Left the election. The campaign for the second round of the Paris municipal elections has been rocked by a growing scandal over sexual abuse committed in the city’s state schools during the terms of office of Anne Hidalgo and her deputy….
b) Dutch parliament passes motion for ban on Mus BHd.
c) The new aircraft carrier, which is expected to replace the “Charles de Gaulle” in 2038, will be called “France Libre” [Free France].
d) How to respond to Ofcom and their demands.

For some strange reason this appeared as a suggestion on my tube of you. It’s a 1915 adaptation of Alice in Wonderland. It may be short and amateur by modern standards but imagine the delight it gave to children of all ages at that time. | https://youtu.be/8FXCgoT8u8g?si=3s6ozpHYxr_BExu0

The Yahoo “international press interview”
From last night’s footage on X at the point I crashed for the night … some more commentary from people and Grok. First up, a closeup of NYH’s sleeve:
https://twitter.com/khanfrompak01/status/2034745761708285978?s=20
Shows nothing … natch … so I’ll have to revert to image and text, as they wish. I have a total of five sshots just now and no plans to add to them at this stage:
All right, the rest now is my own thoughts on this supposed interview. For a start, the bit where his left sleeve suddenly protrudes, then disappears. that excerpt seemed doctored and is now no longer playing on the timeline.
I just watched through a long version but around the middle is a jumpcut, presumably without that sleeve jump, plus it will not expand on the website … as with the link above … it’s just the url. (By the way, I’m fresh after a reasonable sleep.)
Right … thoughts? As I mentioned last evening … it could easily be dubbed AI, body double, or really him. If him, why? What’s he up to, opening up? Plus the logo top left first has GPO, then i24 [France].
It’s a carefully constructed bite. Also, where is any audience of press? Thing is … for us, it’s inconclusive. One can see why … to conceal his death, to conceal that the CIA took him out, or the RevGd (this is my euphemism from now in) … whatever.
Let’s run with him still dead after Mar 8 … what now? Well Donny emboldened for a start. Why? Free of constraint now? What’s crossed triangles up to? Same as it ever was . Keep the west divided, at each other’s throats. Oil? A factor. Greater Crossed Triangle region? Maybe. Donny colluding or on his own statesman mission? You tell me. /END.
(1447) Afternoon all.
16. I need to wait until tomorrow for this
This is after the Sepulchre closing and Trump stopping him wiping out Iran. Alive, dead? He’s trying to wipe out two enemies as he sees it.
So, my reading is he’s either dead and it’s a body double or AI or he’s alive and totally psycho or it’s the beginning of the end. Just now, analysis is saying it’s AI … hardliners now in charge. Going to bed. Tomorrow a.m. folks.
15. IYE corner

Well, well, well. Lots of revelations here as to what is in the air, the words highly toxic are used. | https://www.zmescience.com/science/news-science/soil-fungus-freeze-water/ Looks like they’ve given up hiding it.
13. Professional Big Issue sellers
12. Anna Paulina double
11. More on birth and abortion
I’ve had two pictures on the issue for some years, this Lords’ vote thing came up, thought about posting one of the pics, then other chores took the time. Came back later, saw something about Lydia G. Taylor, telling some karen off about it … I knew that name, searched the library:
Now I’m assuming that LGT is her mother, who made the banner and this is her daughter. However, just saw this in the X sidebar:
Looks too young to be her mother. Then the penny dropped … it’s not her mother, different other person … it’s actually her, now all growed up like. Uh … right. Meanwhile:
Uh … right again. Then I saw women from everywhere coming in to post on it. Then I realised some karen was attacking both LTD and me. Uh … huh … right. Ok.
Nasty feeling we’ve had this recently but forgot to delete from the YT list. Oh well, can’t be helped now.
“This Rod La Rocque/”Shadow” feature is pretty entertaining for a B-mystery. It combines the main mystery story with the Shadow’s running battles of wits with the police and others. The two Shadow features with La Rocque both have a different feel from the radio and print stories, but both are watchable, and this one is the better of the two.
In this story, the Shadow has a radio show and a newspaper column, both of which he puts to use in solving the murder case that arises. The mystery itself is often just a sidelight to the Shadow’s personal entanglements with the police commissioner, with his new, overly eager assistant (Astrid Allwyn), and with some of the principals in the case.
It’s the kind of interesting, complex setup that a first-class writer could have done a great deal more with. As it is, although there are a couple of missed opportunities, it moves at a good pace and is interesting enough to make it a decent way to spend an hour or so.”
