(1740) Was a fairly busy day, just came back to HQ. I’ve some screenshots to click, eyes are not up to reading fine print but shall be tomorrow morning.
13. Housekeeping
As mentioned, eyes a bit bleary, zonking too, the sshots were easy enough, I see chaps and chapess have commented. Might be an early night at this end.
12. Indoctrinating kids in Wokery
11. It’s black and white
10. Moo corner
9. An IMF colony?
8. Remember being a pariah during the plandemic?
7. Apparently he was demanding several people be removed
The Monthly Film Bulletin wrote: “Ever since Rififi (1955), the theme of the intricate, detailed planning of a robbery, and its daring execution, has been done to death on every level of production. This second feature uses the same hackneyed idea, but manages to rise above routine through convincing characterisation, deft treatment, good acting, and realistic incidentals.”
My criticisms of presentations in the previous post on the Nissen Hut do not really apply in this series on church history. His voice is straightforward, his key dates appearing onscreen when they need to, the lack of “preachiness”, even though he obviously belueves, along with the historical angle the whole way.
It still misses certain things about, say, the Merovingians and Franks, the Templars, which I’d not expect him to be au fait with … what they really found beneath the mount, the way they sailed away with booty, the increasing corruption and perversion. This came to a head in Phillip of France’s time … himself corrupt and brooking no rivals … thus the torture and killing of de Molay and Templars, thus the allegations of gross perversion and other things.
I can see that this presenter goes along with the accusations being beat ups, that the Templars were not corrupt. Except they were and today, the Illumined continue the tradition … I’ve been down this rabbit hole for the past two decades and a half … an example was P2 in the Vatican. One online source way back was a chap using the name Ephesians 5:12, not religious but an apostate Mason. And yes … they did get to him eventually.
Just before playing the YT, another I watched was quite aligned with how I think on’t … or vice-versa, I’m aligned with him … his contention is a question … the early church was essentially apostolic, it grew from there and was fairly aligned in theology. Then something changed and there are references to Paul and Peter at odds on observance, then obviously the seven churches, eventually Constantinople itself … and so on. This chap’s question was: “Is Christ divided?” If the answer is no, then how did the denominations, often mutually exclusive, come about?
And his answer was that they started following a man, not Christ himself, a man calling himself a Man of God. The assumed divine powers, the visionary ability of the Bishop of Rome were something the Vatican has always assumed for itself, pushed, backed by vast financial resources, clothed in pageantry and high churchery, just as the royals do. Think you know my view of this man or that assuming for himself the role of spokesman for God. The orthodox were certainly not enamoured of the powerplays of the Bishop of Rome.
And then came Avignon, where I stayed a short while … yes, I’ve been on that bridge.
There’s an increasing issue on youtube … not just AI with its dislocated sentences and subtitles but the format of the presentation, the chosen voices … I can’t pinpoint it exactly but it has a very MSM feel … reassuring, persuading and assuaging voices, combined with mood music … it is no longer a short documentary in a straightforward way, unadorned.
The least bad I could find on the Nissen hut had almost no comments … ho hum.
We really did need to have this episode to follow on from yesterday’s, whilst we still can. There was one with the episode broken into four parts … one part naturally missing … there are some very nasty people around just now.
(0539) Morning all. Dullish out there. Slept ok. (0640)

IYE’s expose of Spencer Pratt notwithstanding:
And suddenly Spencer Pratt is a hero. 🙄 Try looking into these guys backgrounds before engaging in hero worship. He’s aptly named, imo. A reality TV personality.

… that notwithstanding, the broader point is:

a) ‘This is unheard of’ – Paris police officers go on strike following PSG riots, will only perform emergency rescues. “The justice system is attacking us like never before,” one officer said.
b) Pope Leo XIV visits Spain as a secret pact threatens the Valley of the Fallen. Fresh revelations about a secret accord between the Archbishop of Madrid and the Socialist government…. (JH: I went there with two Canadian girls, to Valle de los Caidos and El Escorial. The communists trying to erase the Spanish heartland)
c) Also Spain: The secretary-general of Vox’s parliamentary group in Congress, José María Figaredo, has said the corruption cases surrounding Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez are “closing in” on him and predicted the affair would end with the premier behind bars.
d) The world’s oldest Christian state is going through difficult times. This is not the first time: Armenians seem marked by suffering. Surrounded by Turkey and Azerbaijan, led by an anti-Russian prime minister….
(1606) Was hoping that all the construction, deliveries etc. would be over for the day but they’re not … waiting on another now till about 1800. Messes with the site. (1747) Delivery delivered, cream-crackered here, shall snooze then do some more.
16. D Day with Steve
Operation Overlord was one of several operations that took place on the 6th June 1944. Operation Neptune, the naval phase that preceded the Battle of Normandy, was massive with near-on 7,000 vessels involved.
But what of Operation Deadstick? Well that was last night, 82 years ago, which began at what was then RAF Tarrant Rushton, in Dorset. You cycle by these places when you’re a kid, not knowing what went on there all those years ago – in my case 25 years or so before when me and my mates found it, covered in grass with a few wooden huts, windows broken.
It was the place and the time where gliders sat waiting, for the soldiers of D Company, 2nd Battalion, Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire Light Infantry, 6th Airlanding Brigade. Commanded by Major John Howard. You can read an amazing account of it here:
As an aside the actor Richard Todd, who played Guy Gibson in The Dam Busters, was a lieutenant in 7 Para and was given a field promotion to captain during the action at ‘Pegasus Bridge’.
Apologies that link is D Company Battle Order, 1st June 1944. This is the correct one:
“Unpretentious East-West espionage story in a continental setting. The locale and atmosphere are fairly convincing and the plot is adequately sustained, but credibility is ignored towards the end, when a prowler is loose in the well-guarded grounds and, although armed with a rifle with telescopic sights, fails to kill at twenty yards range.”
Kine Weekly wrote:
“The picture, which, incidentally, far from flatters Military Intelligence, is little but talk for the first hour. Wayne Morris, sound as the roughly handled Tom, Norman Wooland, all agog as Cleaver, and Tilda Thamar, Mary Mackenzie and Marjorie Stewart, suitably contrasted as the women, try to keep the conversation clear and crisp, but it is only during the last 20 minutes that sparks fly. The denouement is, however, first rate theatre and gets the headline hokum over.”
TV Guide wrote, “the intriguing story suffers from inefficient production techniques.”
