My only post item on the matter was to ask about Andrew Sachs and granddaughter. Now the sentence has come through, I’ve mixed feelings … people like him, like Fry, are sleazes.
However, the way it was done, following his change of views … that in itself is off.

IYE: Hmm. Well Miller won’t be happy if Donny flip-flops. Allegedly.
Just thinking, in the light of our current prewar situation … 1941 … yikes, right at a core point of the war, looking bad. Propaganda film? Well of course and why not, in 1941? The last couple of minutes of homilies were very nice too.

Your reading might have shown you already that he’s by no means a “goody”, he was part of it … but he’s now whistleblown. As someone else wrote … with Donny, he’s either a genius, knew all this, was prepared to lose the midterms badly, in order for it to be exposed (and I’ll come back to this) … or else he really is soooo overtrusting, believing what people say to his face.
Or else it’s LBJ style … better to have them i side, P-ing out.
Let’s say, in Q-ish way, that the Donald does have it all in hand … what a legacy that would be. The Big Play which wins the war.
The downside of that is the biblical warnings in a few places about the AC who doesn’t sctually know it until a certain point … that’s tied in with rebuilding the Temp,e, red heifers etc.
Then there us the Hegelian view … foment crisis, breakdown, cometh the messiah but he’s really a beast.
It’s still speculation, innit? 🍿🍿🍿🍿

“But it’s not just the clean water services that are the problem. All elements of the country’s water management have been left to rot for decades. The black leftist run government inherited a wealth of municipal systems, and they did nothing to maintain them. Perhaps they expected that these systems would simply run forever?
Even rudimentary things like proper handling of sewage and the use of grates to stop debris from flowing into rivers do not exist. When the government actually tries to fix something, such as putting in a sewer grate for trash, the grate is stolen or destroyed.
Beyond the vital issue of water, other reports indicate a steep decline in city management for electricity, garbage, street repairs, stoplights, building repairs, etc. It’s actually impressive how quickly Johannesburg has turned into a cesspool.
Some will argue that South Africa is been this way for a long time, and none of this is news. However, the current population has been living on borrowed time and borrowed infrastructure. It’s a testament to the durability of western building methods that these systems have lasted this long without any upkeep. There comes a point where decline hits a nexus, and it seems that South Africa has arrived.”
It’s assumed here that you are using standard boiler and connected wall heaters. In my case here, it once went out and I had a blow heater plus one looking like this:
… plus a single element heater. Cheapest alternative I seem to recall was about £14 a day, whereas the boiler heating, on low-medium, was about £1.70 a day over winter. Heat pumps I know not, nor wish to.

A clear case of bona fies or not?
So far today, and from yesterday at OoL, we come back to who can be relied on for sound intel … one I appreciate is Lara Ligan, a lady who woke up in Cairo. Topic here is the voting fraud:
This video is so important— former CIA officers talk about how elections are stolen…
They shave a little from here & little from there… in the case of the last election- they over-shaved & outed themselves…
If we don’t fully investigate this fraudulent election we will lose…
Now, that woke keft academic said the GOP lied. Well yes, of course they did, the RINOs. But neither he provided the “proof”, nor did I the other way. But I sure provide evidence in the LL clip above, and also … was it just incompetemce on the part of the GOP … or deliberate incompetence … or was it Wiles’ misdirection?
The Demonrats seem vastly more letter agency organised, don’t they?

3. The shoddy sensationalists are at it again
My objection here is not the quality of the intel … it’s old material, at times years old and yet good quality for its time, no argument there … but in the shoddy (in an ex professor’s eyes) manner of introduction, which could even be called ubtrue.
“This is the most jaw-dropping 4 minutes and 21 seconds you will watch this year. Nicole Shanahan — ex-wife of Google co-founder Sergey Brin, former running mate of RFK Jr., and someone who personally signed nine-figure philanthropy checks — just went full whistleblower …”
Yes, she did come out with good intel, not conclusively, certainly not enough to justify the Dan Wooton style “jawdropping” bit … plus it was years old. “Just went” was naughty. And this below?
Stefan Halper? This, talking about him, is from 2022. The events involving Halper were allegedly aroubd 2016. So what gives with the way this Deep Leaks is presenting his material? Or in the paraphrased words of Sir Norman Anderson … the way he’s handling his evidence.
But it goes further … such a presenter damages the cause of revealing what comes out on any topic of nefariousness. He loses kudos. Yet I still must look at some of it for details of past naughtiness, as they may have been subsequently suppressed.

a) A new analysis of suspects brought before French courts after October’s mass riots found that 75 per cent of a 70-person sample bore Arabic–Muslim or African-origin first names. Pollster Jérôme Fourquet called the result a ‘very strong over representation’, adding to evidence of significant immigrant-background involvement in the unrest that swept France.
b) Édouard Philippe [Centrist Presidential hopeful]: “Anti-white racism killed at Crépol” on Thomas murder. Former French Prime Minister Édouard Philippe stated that anti-white racism motivated the 2023 murder of a teenager in Crépol, marking a rare acknowledgement by a mainstream politician.
c) Four French Men claim Muslim mob beat them unconscious for singing Catholic songs. Four French men were hospitalised after being attacked by an alleged Muslim mob in Rouen while singing Catholic songs, suffering broken bones and receiving racial slurs.
d) France. Marcel, aged 8, was interviewed by a Franceinfo journalist during the demonstration in Paris on Saturday, November 7. When asked about his grievances, the boy insulted the head of state several times, sparking the beginnings of a controversy.
e) Son sounds alarm after father’s medically assisted death in Canada: ‘Way past appropriate’. Eric Edmeades said what he expected to be a months-long MAiD process suddenly accelerated to just days. {DAD – I find it strange that the Canadians have the ability to kill numbers of innocent people, but Americans were unable to kill a convicted murderer.]
1. Soc-med subterfuge
The theme today, vaguely and loosely permeating the posts, is as in the subheading, on the grounds that it appears in various reports here, redacted, ready to roll.
That could be a danger, to be carried along by the prevailing tide … but the opposite … having a view which is set in rock and one finds whatever evidence possible to support the stance … they are also questionable bona fides. Also, there is such a thing as telling the unvarnished truth.
Which then gets into having a different view today to that which you had yesterday, simply because new data has come in which seems to stand up. One fairly neutral topic for the English-speaking, though horrific in itself, is this:
It’s a good test case. Yes, officer Kulik was also a hero but Moranski also needs a mention for heroism. What about officers having warned Ms Markle about her father, she had wanted to go public, had been advised against … which is coming iut now.
In both those cases, subsequent information changed the angle, but maybe not the substance, except for clearing Ms Markle somewhat.
Then, yesterday, changing the topic, we got into a curtailed discussion at OoL … I curtailed it as co-admin, having discussed it with OoL partner, taking responsibility for this politically “hostile” commenter, being a woke-left academic in the US. He himself wrote once more (I did not publish it) in which he said I’d “proved” nothing and he would only believe it if I would go out of my way to catalogue, for him personally, “final proof” of anti-Trump wrongdoing.
Well there’s one coming up this morning here on that topic. And as regulars here know, “final proof” is an elastic concept. We deal here with “probable cause for investigation”, an investigator’s prime directive, tabling all findings, stepping back, then assessing them, with new ones tomorrow always possible.
There was also the point I made yesterday of worthwhile time and effort. OoL is primarily British readership, this woke left American is related to a blogger friend of mine here, he once said to me, “I’m no friend of yours.” The point I made is that I have quite limited time, given the places I visit, the writing at those places, plus all the “probable cause” is at the old N.O., plus what you bring to the table at any of the outlying pages or here. It stretches back in time, one by one, e.g. the Steele dossier.
That last can be called British but it’s still essentially about the States. That’s the question of content.
Then comes the question of methodology. I’ve written before of The World Core Curriculum, which was certainly at the early ggl blgr OoL called 4liberty, a different other blog to this one called Orphans. And yes, we’ve certainly touched on world events, inc. US but the methodolgies are now quite different at both sites to their predecessors.
The strategy employed by Mr. Mueller in his response was to say, “I see no proof of that,” meaning my allegations about the WCC. Meaning I had to then personally supply him with “proof”, when what I was only ever doing was asking about, given probable cause, for the reasons laid out.
Same playbook with Amanda Knox, when I was sent 100 questions regarding the case, all of which had been answered at TJMK over some years. Aim was to have me scurrying around for “final proof”, when that was never what it had been about. Same playbook with Podesta, same with corrupt “charities”. I’ve mentioned before that DK had done a lot of ferreting over time on it and when I bowled in and asked for his evidence, his reply was predictable. Correctly so.
To finish this post item, two quotes which should possibly be taken together:
I could have curtailed this entire post item now by running just those two quotes as to why the game of engaging with the wokerati or globo-psycho is just not worth the candle. Going back, Holmes, confronted by Moriarty, concluded that he was afraid that in the pleasure of this conversation, he was neglecting matters of importance elsewhere.
“And we taxpayers should never forget that the funding burden falls almost entirely on our shoulders. For sure, part of it is debt financed, but that debt has to be serviced, and the OBR says the debt interest bill has mushroomed to £124 billion this year, rising to £160 billion – a heart-stopping £5,500 per household – in 2031-32.”
