14. Both, in certain contexts, are right
… overall not so though.


Yes, if we mean Ashcan, Net the Yahoo, Red Shield and the like … the Babylonians, I call them … yes, Scooter is right. And SBML is right too because there are virtually no innocents … a few escape, many are burnt, mutilated or violated in some way.

Before the deluge. The BBBC reports that a “quarry incident” has resulted in devastating flooding in a Welsh village. This muddy brown water has run into the river Taff which environmental experts are assessing for harmful impacts. I would love know what happened before the deluge.
Think this might be the last Persuaders and New Saint for awhile … shall try to find a film for tomorrow.
Enjoy.

7. Back to our own situation yet again

6. All right, on Ceuta etc.

The thing to understand is that Ceuta is still in Morocco. So the hordes were invited in by the Spanish officials, in the sense that this time, the latest of thousands of attempts, the govt actually wants em in, with the collusion of the UK govt in Gibraltar, self governing aside as an irrelevance.
Now … cunning plan … as I’m using my gathered sshots tomorrow at OoL and Jstack, then this here, now, is a curtailed post.
There are two key versions of this on youtube which, imho, are the best going. One is the 1977 live version, showcasing not only Jackson Browne and his reddish brown hair (which incidentally was also my own colour in younger days, plus that of the ladies in Friday [4]) but also showcasing David Lindley on fiddle/violin … a marvellous version, a bit blurred visually now.
The other is below, a slightly shorter version with a (sadly) shorter outro and yet it’s the musically purer version, plus that wonderful album cover, a play on Rene Magritte, befitting these crazy times we’re in. Plus of course David Lindley’s haunting violin again.
JB was of course of the 60s/70s early Boomer left, as I later became, in turn, and the concerns then were warmongers, banksters, corporatists. The left were of course prone to violence themselves … Baader Meinhof, Weathermen, Bill Ayres, Obama later, Patty Hearst etc. etc. … they just did not wake up to the paucity of their ideological behaviour.
JB sings here of dreamers and other groups but could not have known about the horrible events westwide, culminating in the horror of Spain last night at Ceuta.
All of which could have been avoided, had people not turned their backs on their Maker and the Christian underpinnings of the west as it still was in the late 50s, a west the enemy is so desperate to kill off.
(0605) Morning all. Routines are essential as you know and it’s a dutiful son or daughter who includes “the olds” in the list of “responsibilities”. Failing that, if I can provide some here, it gives some sense of things functioning, even though we saw Spain late last night … horrific. So yes, we recheck our perimeter, second and inner defences, check what heeds cleaning and maintaining today … and so on. Many readers would add that keeping our connection with our Maker in good repair is our first defence. (0702)

Emphasis on vamp too … some weeks back, I foolishly ran an excerpt from my long book which caused all sorts of mayhem behind the scenes (astute readers might be aware). Well, part of that was a chapter heading pic, followed by a (cough) indefensible first half page of, as Toods called it … bawdiness.
Useless for me to argue that that was just the prelude to horrible things happening to all the perps in the story … it was actually a cautionary tale, centred around a song by Merrilee Rush and her huge hit song, which appears within the text. Anyway, I had to change the old pic I’d seen somewhere because its signals were not too good.
Within the song was this pic of Merrilee Rush and I asked and was told she was 23/24 here, which is still lineball in my eyes but anyway … that’s now the pic in the book. My regret is that MR herself is too nice a person, whereas the character in the book is a (spoilers) killer vamp (end spoilers).
Hmmmmm … as well be hanged for a sheep as a lamb … I’ve been thinking that a certain lady in Alabama has a similar hair colouring, so does a certain lady in Alberta and a lady in Massachusetts. And now a lady from Seattle with similar hair? Hmmmmm.

a) France. Thibault de Montbrial argues that the deterioration of public safety is not simply a series of isolated incidents but rather the culmination of a decades-long decline. The attorney describes France as being on a dangerous slide where violence intensifies progressively while the state loses its capacity to impose authority. Burglaries, assaults, drug trafficking, urban violence, and attacks on state representatives all point to a structural phenomenon that has now taken root.
b) France. Question to various Christian groups: “Do you believe that all the great religions of the world are equally good and true? [Is this the result of the changes that Vatican 2 [a man/world centred philosophy] made to the Catholic Church?]
c) Germany. One of Germany’s largest police unions has called for sweeping changes to the country’s citizenship, deportation, and asylum laws following last weekend’s Islamist terror attack in Berlin.
d) In an astonishing move, YouTube removed a video from The European Conservative‘s official YouTube channel after it had garnered 43,000 views. YouTube classified the content of the conversation that centred around re-migration as “hate speech.” We made an appeal, but the decision but it was rejected in one minute.
2. The Spanish horror last night

In Thurs 17. Mercenary army, or brainwashed one – both probably. We’ve still got the numbers and that’s what they’re worried about..

Albiston:
The surname Albiston is of English origin and is classified as a locational surname, typical of Anglo-Saxon naming conventions. It derives from the Old English personal name Æthelbeorht, which means “noble and bright”, combined with the suffix -tun, meaning “settlement” or “enclosure”. Therefore, the full meaning can be interpreted as “the settlement of the noble and bright one”
(1730) Evening all … time just fugged it today … could not keep up. So here we are, best get posting.

”You were taught the story in school. Fascism rose, democracy fought back, and a new order was developed so it wouldn’t happen again. The countries that tore each other apart twice would tie their economies together, making war nonsensical.
To this end, Bretton Woods stabilised the global money system while the Marshall Plan rebuilt Europe, and the UN gave every country representation. The whole thing rested on a simple promise: never again.
The only problem is that this story is a figment of imagination…..”
