JH: You may have seen this last evening, readers:

“22. Good thing no one we know lives near Mobile AL

Matt van Swol brings the news:

“Divers doing a ROUTINE maintenance check at the Converse Reservoir dam in Mobile, AL… …just found an underwater IED!!!! Apparently a grenade-type bomb was sitting submerged at the bottom of a dam that holds an entire city’s DRINKING WATER. It took FIVE agencies: the FBI, ALEA, the Sheriff, Mobile PD, and a maritime render-safe team, to pull it out and detonate it. Someone put a BOMB in our water supply…”

Toodles responds today:

I had not heard until I glanced at the blog. A man in the north part of England had to inform me  who lives across the bay from Mobile of a near shattering blow to Mobile, AL! 

The article I am sending you was a short one from AL.com. I couldn’t get a screenshot of the entire post but very little was written other than what you see.

……

“… and sewer system.

After the grenade type-lED was located at the Converse Reservoir dam, MAWSS contacted the Mobile County Sheriff’s Office which facilitated a multi-agency response to retrieve and detonate the explosive. The Gulf Coast Regional Maritime Response and Render-Safe Team performed a successful retrieval and detonation of the IED.

“Our top priority is keeping your drinking water safe,” Bud McCrory, MAWSS director, said. “This is an unprecedented threat, and we are fortunate that this device was discovered before it could cause serious damage to our water supply or harm to individuals. We are grateful for the professionalism and competency of our law enforcement partners — as well as the quick thinking of our contractors and divers – in identifying this device and safely destroying it.”

Other agencies involved in the operation included the FBI Bomb Squad, ALEA Bomb Squad, Mobile County Sheriff’s Office, Mobile Police Department Explosive Ordinance Detail, and the Daphne Search and Rescue Team. The U.S. Department of Homeland Security was The U.S. Department of Homeland Security was notified of the incident, MAWSS said. The agency said it will continue to (liaise?) with law enforcement at the reservoir.

Chris Morrison writes:

“The fallout from the recent Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) ruling that computer model high emissions pathway RCP8.5 is “implausible” is only just beginning. Most mainstream media fearmongering stories over the last 15 years need to be moved into the junk file, as do the increasingly shrill sandwich-board pronouncements of King Charles and Sir David Attenborough.

But the rot goes much deeper than ill-informed public comment, although that alone has been enormously influential in promoting the Net Zero fantasy. Activist-ridden science bodies such as the UK Met Office have brazenly used RCP8.5 to flam up weather predictions which in turn has led to onerous requirements being placed on British industry and finance.

Politicians have been convinced by patently ridiculous claims and Net Zero rules and regulations have cascaded through the economy and society.”

“Off topic, sorry if it appears I’m trying to take over the blog!”

Modest English understatement. It takes a fair bit to “regularise” at this place, or fancifully, this tavern, as the landlord is a known deleter and blocker, unlike Lady Julia at her site and at Orphans … her position is to let anyone through regardless, in that fine libertarian tradition.

My position is that we want as much good content as possible, content which has run the gauntlet and has had to prove itself … no one excepted, not even me … and in this, we must be ruthless. To be fair to Julia, she then deals with baddies or the mindless in other ways behind the scenes … I tend to be summary upfront … and yet to hold back, cautiously at times.

Perfect example was the report that Anna Paulina had said that the CIA had raided Tulsi’s dept … later disproved, hotly denied by Anna Paulina. It was right here as a screenshot, ready to roll. Then came the disclaimers … quietly thankful, moi, that I’d not yet posted it. No innate wisdom involved on my part … maybe guardian angel.

We really must be subject to caustic scrutiny and leave up only that which has come through as “proably correct”.

And we can only get that by a “multiplicity” (ouch, apologies) of sound sources … I’m sure you get the drift here. There are three other terms involved in this … “consistency”, “determination” and “sheer bloodymindedness”.

Now poor old Redacted ran that gauntlet and was savaged and yet, and yet … much of what Juan wrote was sound, backed up. We need that material, if not the unfortunate manner. Solution? Set up another site (UHC-WP) as an archive, create homepages, gradually … Torquaymada’s is about to go up … but sometimes it’s a bit hot to openly run … it will get us hit by professionals … e.g. IYE’s on Mossad etc. Not taken down or deleted, but not spotlighted, let’s say.

And it’s constant decisonmaking, usually all right, sometimes challenged, which is our modus operandi … to challenge.

Slowly, anecdotes came in and I need to put this strongly … we need your anecdotes here, we want them, your reminiscences … so if you fear it’s taking over the blog … go for it. We have five venues you can choose to post at … if three go down, two should still be up.

 

Some caveats to start with. The chap’s model is rapid speaking to get the max info out in the shortest time. Like it or not. He is also centrist in politics, slightly left, which does not always align with ours … ditto with Jago, coming up later. Nevertheless, the graphics and overall take are pretty good, so let’s do it:

“Lammy = Reparations = bankruptcy”.

“I recall Lammy saying that his ancestors experienced slavery. What he didn’t say, was that the Bantu, Lammy’s tribal culture, as an offshoot of the Zulu tribe were one of the biggest slavers in Africa, selling their captives to both Europeans and Islamic traders. His ancestors may well have experienced slavery, but he will not say from which side. So I would suggest not only reparations from him, or his tribe, to Britain for the costs of the East Africa Squadrons, which rescued thousands and returned them to freedom, but also reparations to the descendants of those sailors and Marines who died, plus making up for the loss of the nation’s GDP at that time. I think that will do for a start, don’t you?”

On servicemen after their service:

“When I joined the British Army in 1962, I attended a lecture by an RAEC officer about my future. It had nothing to do about my military service, but about planning my return to civilian life. One piece of advice, was to put our names down on the council house list of the area we wanted to live in, and to do this as soon as possible, so that we could climb up the waiting list whilst serving. Then, when our military service was nearing an end, to contact that council to confirm our date of discharge and enquire of a predicted waiting time. If our circumstances changed, and we didn’t need a council house, it was easier to remove from that list, than to apply after discharge. Whether this information is still given, I have no idea.

On completing pensionable service, we received a gratuity of 3 times our annual pension, which could be used to ease ourselves into civilian life, or use as a deposit on house purchase. This gratuity could be increased by taking a reduced pension over a period of time, which is what I did, allowing me to buy a property more suitable to the needs of my family and I. Again, I have no idea if this financial arrangement still applies (I retired in the mid 1980’s).

With the politicisation of councils, several apparently anti British, I can see problems over ex military being automatically guaranteed council houses on return to civilian life. What the answer is, I can only suggest options, though I am sure those more intelligent than me will come up with a solution.
If you are in the military, consider the six P’s – Prior Planning Prevents P*ss Poor Performance – and plan for your future.”

Consider this…as a Provincial Grammar school boy (early 70s) I believe I was given the greatest of educations. Elderly Teachers that had seen battle..actual war. Thousand yard gazers. Critical thinking was welcomed. Knuckles were rapped Sport was brutal and demanding. No quarter given. Heaven help you if you carried a few pounds…”Fatty”.

a) Do you remember Archbishop Lefebvre? Marcel François Marie Joseph Lefebvre was a French Catholic prelate. He was a major influence in modern traditionalist Catholicism, founding in 1970 the Society of Saint Pius X to train traditionalist seminarians who preferred the Mass in Latin. Vatican II said that it should be in the local language.

b) France. Hantavirus : more FearPorn. In the event of an epidemic, the stock of masks in France is sufficient for “a minimum of three months”, assures Matignon.

This was in the Gab newsletter today:

“Yesterday, we received a call from one of our payment processing partners. We were informed that our international underwriting bank has officially banned Gab. Their justification? They claim that I personally appear on a “blacklist” produced by the SPLC and ADL.

This is not a coincidence. This ban follows perfectly on the heels of the Australian government’s public attack on this platform earlier this week. This is the price we pay for actually meaning it when we say we defend free speech.

Thankfully, we have a few backups in place because this is not our first rodeo. Over the last decade, we have been banned by dozens of payment processors, banks, and even crypto exchanges for refusing to bend the knee to the globalist establishment. We know their playbook, and we are prepared for the fight.”

The aspect which continually gets me is the utter impunity or chutzpah with which they do these things … people’s entire livelihoods destroyed etc. etc. Then there are the blacklists and warning panels.

Unherdables is certainly on a few, which is a double-edged sword for the site(s) as it means that the valiant and bloodyminded still get through, which is nice. The platforms though are the ones really getting it in the neck.

“@AngelaRayner, a few questions your statement does not answer. Tax Policy Associates, one of the most respected independent tax bodies in the country, states it cannot understand why HMRC decided not to charge a penalty. Both of your advisers explicitly told you to obtain specialist tax advice before completing the transaction.

You did not obtain it. Independent experts say a penalty of approximately 20 percent was the likely and legally correct outcome under Schedule 24 of the Finance Act 2007. HMRC reached a different conclusion without explaining why. Do you believe HMRC reached the correct conclusion and if so can you explain why two independent expert bodies disagree?

You state you had no personal financial interest in the trust set up for your son. The trust was funded in part by NHS compensation money awarded for your son’s care. You sold your remaining stake in your Ashton constituency home to that trust for £162,500 in January 2025 and used those proceeds as a deposit on an £800,000 flat in Hove. How do you define no personal financial interest in that transaction?

A £50,000 donation to the Office of Angela Rayner Limited from Refrigeration House Limited arrived on 24 March 2026, described as towards staffing costs and declared on the parliamentary register. Weeks later you paid the £40,000 stamp duty bill. Who owns Refrigeration House Limited, what is their connection to you, and was any part of that donation used directly or indirectly to meet the stamp duty liability?

You say politicians should be held to high standards. The questions above are what high standards look like in practice. They deserve answers.”

“A marvellous video tells how China is reversing the progress of a desert that was heading towards Beijing.

At first they planted great numbers of trees, which sucked water out of the ground until the water table sank so far the roots couldn’t reach and the trees died.

Then they tried introducing an ancient wild breed of horse – Przewalski’s. This stocky creature broke the barren crust of topsoil with its hooves, allowing rainwater to gather in puddles and seep into the lower ground. Plants came out of suspended animation. As the horses roamed they spread seeds carried on their hooves and in their dung. Insects colonised the greening area and a complex ecosystem began to re-form.

Isn’t this a metaphor for the failure of top-down bureaucratic planning of a command economy and the success, allowed the opportunity, of the “animal spirits” of private enterprise?”

“Before Foundation, Pathak founded a fintech called Synapse. It filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in April 2024, the SAME month they say Foundation was founded, strange right? The collapse of Synapse left up to $200 million in consumer money frozen and between $85 and $96 million unaccounted for. More than 200,000 customers across apps like Yotta and Juno were locked out of their savings. A Texas woman with $30,100 in a Yotta savings account got back 69 cents. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau had to allocate $46 million to bail customers out. It was the first time in the bureau’s history that the victims’ fund was used for a fintech.”

… and the discussion we need to have:

“I’m calling some of you EthNats out now. I’m sick of the fantasy bullshit. For all the @RestoreBritain_ followers who are criticising @TRobinsonNewEra… I agree. I think he shills for Israel too much. However, I personally have no problem with the country of Israel or the Jewish people, but I have a serious problem with the leadership and I’m only interested in Britain.

However, I think Tommy has been a net positive for the UK. For all those pointing out that he is a CivNat… Yes he is. However he also recognises the need for mass deportations and the prevention of irreversible demographic change. Some of you think he doesn’t go far enough. Does that mean he isn’t doing good work highlighting the rape gangs? Does that mean that bringing nationalist patriots together is a bad thing?

To all you hardcore EthNats out there that want to see Restore Britain go full EthNat… Have a word with yourselves. Do you really think that the vast majority of this country are going to vote for a party that wants to deport every brown person? Let me answer for you… NO, they won’t. Neither would I. I’m not a pure CivNat. I understand the need to protect our 4 nations as Anglo-Saxon, Christian countries. I understand the need for mass deportations.

However if you think that I’m going to support deporting Gurkhas or other foreigners who have served in the armed forces, or hard working, law abiding people who are 2nd or 3rd generation… You’re off your head. You need to be realistic about what is accomplishable and what the British people actually want.

We can deport… All Illegals All foreign criminals All foreigners who won’t work All foreigners who don’t speak English All foreigners who won’t integrate All foreigners who undermine the UK All foreigners who push Islam on us We can also look into ways to begin the process of remigration.

However, when it comes to the goal of removing every single foreigner or brown person… Fucking Stupid. Don’t like it? I don’t care.”

13. Ascension Day

The word “dogma” is problematic in Christianity … does it mean clear, simple new testament or gospel doctrine, as in “love thy neighbour” or “faith, hope and charity”, the key ideas from it … or does it mean where men in robes pontificate on their interpretation of it?

I knew a Northern Irishman like that and everything he said, in that brogue, was vehement and tub thumping, even if it was about the price of fish. I mean, how much of this Paisleyism can one take in one dose? Let alone the Catholic potentates.

To my mind, that’s the negative connotation of dogma, offputting to normies. Take consubstantiation v transsubstantiation. Or the Filioque. I’m not saying it’s not important but I am saying it’s quite arrogant for potentates to assume denominational authority on every single aspect … to the point we burn the other at the stake? Tyndale. Mary … did Jesus have brothers … or not?

And these schismatic questions … the potentate would reply that if he were not dogmatic on scriptural authority, then you’d soon have women or gay rainbow clergy ruining the church. So I leave that question open for now.

What about Ascension Day? To my mind, it’s quite different to the Rapture. There’s an interpretation that, far from us being whisked away into the sky, in fact we, if saved, stay here on earth in the new kingdom, ruled by Jesus returned, the way most of the faith see it happening … the return itself I mean.

Ascension Day does not appear to have the same issues. Most seem to accept that he went there or went up after a number of days. Fine. Why May 14th? Well why not? It’s a commemoration, innit?
