8. Sometimes we must state an unpopular observation, not turn a blind eye to it

I’m horrified by the thousands upon thousands of our girls abused by foreigners and indigenous paedos, facilitated by govt, national and local, by social services, by Plod who in many cases dipped the wick themselves … it’s at least as bad as Belgium decades ago.

And the girls and ladies many of us would die defending … well many of those are on X, many broken down angels. That in no way is in question … real victims of real crimes and hopefully, Rupert will keep this pushing forward, Sammy Woodhouse too, the Pink Ladies etc. 💯. Plus for victim boys, of which I myself was one around 12/13.

Having said that, I still must point out … why would a girl be outside a nightclub alone late night, only for the creeps to come on, en masse? Why would a girl be in a park, alone, at 4 a.m.? Why would she leave the house to go meet a creep?

And this comes down to her parenting. Where was the father? Why was he not collecting her at a set time? We know the answer to this, don’t we. Why would that missing girl be in Paris, alone, at a music event? With her daughter back in England? Why?

Now this does not change men’s basic obligation to defend our womenfolk, our kids. End of. However, that pesky question above still needs answering.

7. Toodles on a curious and tragic tale

“I am sending you an interview with the parents of an Auburn University student.  He had been missing for several days in Japan while he and his family were on a trip together.

He was discovered dead by searchers and no foul play was suspected. Early on I heard it was suspected he might have done something to himself with rope as he had just purchased it the evening he left his family at the hotel or wherever they stayed. 

The interview  is so unlike what I would think it would have been … so strange is the way the family dynamics seem to be. Something very different from the time when we were growing up.

Being let loose on your bike in your neighborhood and nearby area is one thing but to have a child leave you while on a trip in a foreign country is another thing. If he is so well traveled and independent, then why is he dead, on his own, with half of that country looking for him?

Also, what kind of boy at age 20 would be so prissy wearing what he does and fighting with mom about using AI on a vaca ? I mean really, I don’t  trust it and all that, but the gas to travel there cost a lot too. Save the self righteous arguments for later.

I could be wrong about the parents, but she seems to be the stronger of the two. She also seems to be the type to try and persuade and reason, but in a “you do it your way” sort of way. 

In certain situations a parent needs to say, ENOUGH.  We can talk after the trip. Also, I might and I would  tell the prissy self righteous vegan boy in lavender cords, if he wants to be incessantly disrespectful to his parents then he can return to Auburn University on his own dime. 

I mean really those parents who allow that have always allowed that. Arguments happen, but for him to go off as he did with no contact, etc. … well there is something very squirrely there.

Oh and happy graduation younger brother. 

I could be wrong, but the deceased boy seems like he may have been a drama queen and I mean that quite literally.

Hey, families have issues, but I can tell you this there is just one thing worse than a 20’year old girl/ woman and that is a 20 year old boy/ girl. I have been around them and they can be the most fun for a while but can have the worst of both sexes. Something honed over time.”

CLICK5: ‘There may be Troubles, a head…’

The lion sleeps tonight

 

This might seem a strange sort of post for “first drop” but it came up on YT last night and I went exploring. Just a note on the use of terms “till close of play” and “first drop” … they’re cricketing expressions … first drop refers to the opening batting partnership broken and in comes the batsman who’s often the best player, the stroke player, often enough the captain of the side.

Also “the lion sleeps tonight” could well be allegirical or metaphorical for the west sleeping, remaining too long in slumber, given the threat to the west. Anyway, to this song …

YT provided original footage of Jay Siegel singing it, they called it falsetto but I explored this:

Countertenor and falsetto are intimately connected, as the countertenor voice relies heavily on the falsetto register. However, while falsetto is a mechanical way of producing sound, a countertenor is a fully trained, professional vocal category.

The Mechanics: How They Relate

Falsetto: This is a technique where only the edges of the vocal cords vibrate. It is often lighter, airier, and used casually by most people to imitate a high-pitched voice.

Countertenor: This is a professional classification for a male singer who sings in the alto or soprano range (typically equivalent to a female mezzo-soprano). While countertenors generally speak in a lower, natural “chest voice” (modal voice), they train their falsetto extensively to build a powerful, resonant, and supported singing voice.

Not sure which to call him but he seems more countertenor to me and modern scribes call him that … scribes in the day called him falsetto, possibly because Tiny Tim and Franki Valli were also around then. Whatever, whichever, he certainly did a fine job and their version of Solomon Linda’s jazz age song was and still is a massive hit, a staple.

Now, I have a severe criticism to make. In those days back then, artists who were brought in, e.g. guitarists, even female classical singers, were paid their agreed fee, but they did not appear on the band label and were often not on stage, certainly not upfront. Jay Siegel and/or producer did the same … perhaps the band was lipsynching, I can’t say, don’t know.

Ordinarily, this would not have been an issue in most cases but on Lion Sleeps … it was. For a start, the lady is almost singing a duet with Jay Siegel, then she is always asked about, much loved, much praised. Yet she is never officially mentioned, except by music pundits. This, to me, is quite wrong, very wrong, as both made the song what it was.


The original lady was Anita Darian (above). Then, in an “oldies” reunion performance (also on youtube), the lady was Kelley Krepin DeFade (yes, for real). Both were much loved, the latter is married, with child, lives and works in Pittsburgh and I think it stinks that she’s overlooked. Do you remember those husband wife, brother sister or Paul and Paula duets? Imagine if only Paul were in the clip but Paula could still be very much heard.

Why? To save money? To deny her royalties, as happened to Solomon Linda? Anyway, here’s the original, with Anita:

Interesting sidelight (to me at least) was that JS did not like the song, it was put out as the B side of the single, only for it to go to n1 across the world, still being played today. Full marks to the countertenor for sure … but also to the soprano. Here’s the more recent version:

5. Scott Pressler

“The House just passed the budget reconciliation bill 214-212. This means that ICE & Border Patrol are FULLY FUNDED for the next 3 years. Every democrat voted against it. President Trump’s promise to secure the border is funded for the rest of his administration. Congratulations to Speaker Johnson for this huge win with one of the most narrow majorities in American history. The bill is on the way to President Trump’s desk.”

JH: Curious … must it not get through the Demrat controlled Senate first? Meanwhile, Rep Hugh Blackwell says:

“The SAVE America Act has ADVANCED in the US Senate, 51-48 GREAT WORK, #BasedMikeLee!”

3. Jim Chimirie on Belfast

“On Monday night a man was pinned to a residential street in north Belfast and stabbed repeatedly in the face and neck. Members of the public intervened. One used a hurling stick. By Tuesday night three houses and a Middle Eastern supermarket were burning. Infants were carried from neighbouring properties. A police vehicle was set alight. Politicians called for calm.

Remember this night. Not because it is exceptional. Because it is not.
This is where the road leads. Not in twenty years. Now. Belfast has experienced serious immigration-related disorder for three consecutive years. The same cycle every time. Attack. Outrage. Disorder. Calls for calm. Nothing. The next incident. What is playing out in Belfast is not a malfunction. It is the destination. A state that cannot name the cause manages the consequence instead, and calls it governance.

Now project forward. Not with imagination. With arithmetic. Over 200,000 people have arrived by small boat since 2018. The majority are unvetted young men from countries with no cultural alignment with the host society. They are housed in communities without consent. Dispersed without warning. The removal rate is four percent. The government knows the other ninety-six percent are staying. It has decided to manage that fact rather than reverse it. Every year the number grows. Every year the concentration deepens. Every year the friction increases.”

More here if you’re on X

JH: I’ve scoured X this morning for Belfast reports … maybe it’s too early for the British Isles pundits at 0453, maybe later. Those who did report wrote of fires, plus an asylum centre under attack. Think it might have had many more reports than that if any one thing had occurred.

Just reflecting on those who went out, knowing what was awaiting them. These are clearly the militant vanguard of the indigenous, along the lines perhaps of the bladerunners in London. Where does that leave us?

Well, it does seem to me that it’s coming and my own thought is that just after the first armed attack by the people starts, the weapons will come out of Suqsom and they’ll start their house to house slaughter. We know which way Plod will jump, we can’t be sure how the army will. Or else a food emergency is in the mix there.

Update at 0504: Yes, there was a fair bit of conflagration in earlier reports where I’ve scrolled down to … talk of Malsi-free zones.

a) With the French presidential election fast approaching, the government is seeking to regain control over public opinion with a new bill presented by Aurore BergĂ©, the deputy minister for the fight against discrimination. Designed to combat racism and Holocaust denial, the bill aims to introduce new penalties of ineligibility linked to certain offences.…

b) Paris: Eric Zemmour and several National Rally (RN) elected officials acquitted of defamation charges against Sophie Djigo. This far-left teacher had taken her students to the Calais migrant camp before portraying herself as a victim.

c) Demographic crisis in France.

d) France. Foreign interference: “Russia is really just the tip of the iceberg. There have been numerous instances of local micro-interference in municipal elections where the countries involved had significant diaspora. This has been the norm for some time now.”

1. Lord Toby’s site

“The world of geography teaching in the UK is in crisis following guidance from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change that a collection of assumptions used in climate computer modelling known as RCP8.5 is “implausible”. The ruling has effectively trashed the Met Office’s 2018 climate projections report (UKCP18) which only used this scenario to produce a variety of always ridiculous forecasts. To widespread mainstream media acclaim at the time, it was said that summer temperatures could rise by over 5°C in 50 years.

Since 2018, UKCP18 has been embedded in UK school geography teaching as a core forecasting source. Its predictions are assessed, used for impact studies and underpin public examinations. The “implausible” ruling means that geography teaching materials particularly at A-level now require a major rewrite of core textbooks involving the removal of all the junk predictions. Preferably by the start of the Autumn term in September.”

Leslie Halliwell said: “Absorbing and entertaining little murder mystery which sustains its considerable length with interesting detail and plays as fair as can be with the audience. Excellent unassuming entertainment.”

The Radio Times Guide to Films gave the film 3/5 stars, writing: “This satisfying murder mystery benefits from the reassuring presence of Jack Warner as the detective on the case. Set in Brighton, director Val Guest adopts an unsensational, pseudo-documentary approach that concentrates on the often laborious details of police procedure as the identity of dead woman is ascertained and her killer is slowly unmasked.”

12. Madeleine Gillies as Lord Toby’s today

Writing about the “BeKind” protesters against those protesting Henry’s killing and hundreds more invaders forced onto UK towns:

“It felt abusive and offensive and in that action they indicated all too clearly that their instincts are the polar opposite of those they claim to espouse. Far from wishing unity in this small gesture, far from being prepared to lay aside differences, far from behaving in an appropriate manner, their hostility and sheer nastiness rose to the surface. They have always presented as lacking in any common sense or intellectual curiosity but this was far worse. These virtue-signallers displayed a core of nastiness.

It is reported that ‘Right-wing’ politicians from Poland, Japan, France and Spain, not to speak of the US, have decried the death of Henry and commented on the cultural reasons for the tragedy. It has clearly become convenient and comfortable for our own Government and associated elites to offload any culpability and deflect responsibility by shutting down debate. It’s therefore reasonable to assume that the playbook for our local #BeKind brigade instructed its followers to associate overt concerns regarding Henry’s death with the far Right.”
