(1608) Evening all. Been a busy day. Going to leave the Kate Spade comments in situ below the post, opening this evening with subsequent IYEs and the other items.
20. Open govt
A clip from the very first episode of the wonderful
a. From bathhouse to White House, you can see what Barry was up to as Biden’s handler..
KAYLEIGH MCENANY: “A $400 million cash transfer was FLOWN out to Iran…400 million was just the tip of the iceberg. One month later, the Wall Street Journal reported the Obama White House sent three different payments to Iran, totaling $1.3 billion, with a B!” “A day later, Obama’s deputy secretary of state, Antony Blinken, ran to CNN to defend his boss’s nuclear deal and the cash transfer.” “Fast forward to 2023. The Biden White House cleared the way for the release of $6 billion in frozen Iranian funds.” “In the years since, Iran continued to build up their nuclear program until President Trump called in the military to obliterate it. Today, where we are seeing absolute strength of the U.S. military on full display.”
b. NOWP 1324:
Hearts of Oak: The Week According To . . . Josh Ferme.
“According to the narration and prologue, this was based on a true story. The film depicts the 1932 murder of a police officer in a speakeasy in Chicago. In 1933, two men were given life sentences for the murder. The action of Call Northside 777 starts out eleven years later, in 1944. Lee J. Cobb, editor of the Chicago Times, comes across a small ad in the classifieds offering $5,000 to whomever can offer information regarding the murderer of the police officer in 1932. Anyone with information is urged to call Northside 777. Cobb is intrigued that someone would be offering so much money for an eleven year old, solved murder, and why it is in such an inconspicuous ad? He has a hunch that there is a story in there and he assigns lead reporter, James Stewart, to the case.
Stewart is at first uninterested but as he thinks out loud and asks questions, Cobb urges him to investigate and see what he can come up with. Stewart starts with meeting the owner of the classifieds ad, who turns out to be the mother of one of the men put in prison for the murder. She is adamant that her son is innocent, and has scrubbed floors since his imprisonment to save up the reward money and pay for the ad.
As Stewart interviews more people investigated in the case, and reviews more news stories and documents related to the case, he realizes that the man in jail for this crime may really be innocent. Noir mainstay Richard Conte stars as the (allegedly) wrong-fully convicted man. Helen Walker has a small but effective role as Stewart’s devoted wife whom he confides in when he’s trying to figure out the case. They also work on a jigsaw puzzle together throughout the film, which very skillfully acts as a metaphor for what Stewart is trying to do in his work life.
Betty Garde plays the eyewitness whose inconsistent ability to pick out the murderer in the lineup comes into question by Stewart. She is very bitter and uncooperative towards Stewart, and obviously afraid of something or someone unnamed, so he’s forced to undermine her credibility and go without her assistance in clearing the man whom he feels was wrongfully convicted.
I thought Stewart was excellent in his role as the everyday man whose work could affect the lives of many people associated with the case. Lee J. Cobb was authentic in the role of Stewart’s boss who urges him to keep going in his investigation. I do get the sense though that Cobb is just trying to increase readership in the newspaper, and that he couldn’t care less about Conte’s character. But Stewart is the one with a little more humanity who is more about solving the crime than increasing readership of his newspaper.
One thing I thought was interesting about this film was that the man who administers the lie detector test to Conte is the actual inventor of the lie detector test.”
(0951) Monday, meaning chores galore, hope you’re upandattem too. Was going to do the replies to the chaps and chapesses in Mon 6 but embeds are better without code below them as a rule. So the reply post is to be Mon 7. (1116)

In chronological order of posting at HQ this morning.
DAD:
a) Municiple Elections in France. As far as I can discover there has been very few changes, certainly no huge surge to the Right that many predicted. Most big towns will have a run-off next Sunday.
JH: Is it not which mendacious “leaders” can bullsh the most to uncritical audiences on MSM controlled tele and radio? The masses refuse to think … they just follow.
d) What did Tony B-liar do with the 50$ million that Epstn gave him?…
JH: Has the MSM even once asked him?
Steve:
Shia Iraqi militia leader: “Beautiful young boys are better than beautiful girls.”
JH: That was from footage where he was actually saying it, you could here it, though it was in his language, so who’s to say the subtitles were right?
Toodles, on Kate Spade:
IYE replies: Haven’t watched the video but I remember her demise. She left a young daughter. Also ex husband started going out in some clown mask or other – very weird behaviour. Anthony Bourdain was the chef who exited via a rope. Girlfriend was Asia Argento . Look her up. Also connections to the Abramovich woman perhaps and Bathhouse Barry.
KS, AB and Queen Maxima’s (Netherlands) sister died in the same way within a few days of each other.
Her alleged last message to her daughter was odd “Bea – I have always loved you. This is not your fault. Ask Daddy”.
6. Downunder situation similar to ours
Pauline is sort of our Restore, Marine Le Pen without the socialism. Downunder, they have a “Teals” thing too, no idea what it is, plus Greens, Uniparty etc., as here. “Our” support is mainly out of the big smoke … small towns, villages, rural.
As such down there, this is trad National Party territory, big farmers etc., esp. in Queensland, which is the most truly conservative state. SA not so sure. Task of all our old UKIP types, new Restore … is we dominate the net but normies with their MSM? Not so much. Yet. WN1 of mine was a Queenslander … quite a trad lady.
Pauline’s doing exactly the right thing by her nation, even many Gen Zee and younger Millennials like her.
Yesterday I visited the small rural town of Maitland, South Australia, to have a chat to some of the locals.
I was heartened by the support from a surprise visit on a Sunday Afternoon in a small town. It was a pleasure to meet you all.
“As I was cleaning up I decided to listen to the tube of U. On came a bio about one Kate Spade. She was an American fashion designer who hit it big time. She died in her 50s in 2018. Was she offed, or did the big unliving thing happen, as it is claimed?
At that time several people were unaliving themselves who were in the winsome world of celebrity. There were strange things stirring. I believe the blog may have mentioned a few of the demises at the time…one in particular…a chef or critic of chefs who had a telly show…Anthony Bsomething.
The reason I bring this up is because Katie Spadie went to the same uni as did Erika Kirk. Different times however.
I have also picked up that several people who are oddly in the news or in our awareness for one odd reason or another — also attended that place of degree getting. I cannot name them atm however.
I do want to make a point that it might, just might not be too far away from that woman who recently disappeared, which is not too far from one Z Ranchero either. Not too far from a certain place that is under suspicion owned and run by my gov. And coincidentally it is not all that far from the once dwelling place for a certain actor and his pianist Asian wife who mysteriously died a year ago(ish) and hardly anyone was satisfied with the reporting.
Also Jesus, The Body Language Guy, had interesting things to say about those reporting it and so on. Suspicious behaviours.
Side note:
There are other things connected to that place of higher degree getting…out that way. That old lady missing thing, the great diversion of the month …her daughter who is married to an interesting cad… is well interesting because of ….. weeeeelllll you probably already know! His bio is something to be sure. The fix-it-man, especially for the Gruesome Twosome.
Oh and the unalived fashion designer. Her husband to whom she was separated at the time of her death is the brother of a comedian/actor…one David Spade. The hubby may have gone to that same uni that these folks attended. I am thinking so.
Oh and she was so fragile and depressed..a life long issue …well for a long time, at least…maybe because of whom she married.
(JH: Having watched this now, bearing in mind it is the normie-suitable version, there is no mention of “offings”. Wiki though does mention that she was found hanged. Now was there not someone else in the Nietspe world whom they claimed had had that fate?)
See ya on the next one, James.
Oh and the people to whom she and hubby sold the biz…sold her soul maybe … same folks … not wheat but chaff as Yayhahoo did, who is the same chaff as (Nietspe).
(0250) Possibly the worst time to be up and typing, awoke at 0150, things to do “in the morning” and need a second sleep. Think we need a post on sleep sometime. (0759)
5. Forgotten via whom this one came
4. Steve corner
Last evening:
Craig Sawman Sawyer, whoever he is: “He was known as “Bathhouse Barry” in Chicago, because he practically lived in the gay bath houses there. Common knowledge. Not s secret. When I saw them covering up his real life and setting him up to be President, I was working in the intel community in a war zone and knew then very bad things were coming to the American people. I’ve been yelling it ever since, but few care to listen. This traitor belonged in GITMO many years ago. Our DOJ obviously lacks the charter to prosecute wicked players in “the club”. Lord Jesus, come!”
Shia Iraqi militia leader: “Beautiful young boys are better than beautiful girls.” That was from footage where he was actually saying it, you could here it, though in his language, so who’s to say the subtitles were right. (JH: I’m adding this to the list in Mon 7.)
From NOWP 1323:

Much more.
3. The assumption of the net, the web
… is that all opinions are equal, historically, politically. How does one tell “free speechers” that it’s not necessarily so … not only because of missing facts, missing snippets, the bringing of them together, tabling them, but because of the depth of historical reading and the degree of specialisation in the area which is required.
Then there is the mindset itself … some demographics are better, through experience at, say, political science, others at health issues, others at mechanics … and so on. The thing with these ladies below is that they bring angles into it which we too often do not see, they’re coming at topics from a different place.
Now, to be so arrogant about our own abilities that we dismiss a certain type of person … that is stoopid in the extreme. All right, look at these two comments:
Donna was also a Reform councillor and she resigned Reform, later to tentatively go Restore. The other was a New Kipper. Bear in mind that ladies on the whole like things to be nicely nice overall and Tenconi and lads are not nicely nice.
So we do have a multiplicity of opinion going on here for all the above reasons and more … which is great at the braindtorming level but in Britpolitics, it leads to unherdables trying to lead unherdables. That may be ideal in Plato’s Greece but not so much in 2026 communist, shariah ex-Britain or even England.
In a pure political science sense … yes, the New UKIP is noble but in an applied political sense, just how can they effect the needed change? Therein lies the dilemma.
2. DAD at 1323
a) Municiple Elections in France.
As far as I can discover there has been very few changes, certainly no huge surge to the Right that many predicted. Most big towns will have a run-off next Sunday. (JH: My comment a bit later in the morn.)
b) In his native country’s 250th anniversary, Pope Leo XIV will visit Lampedusa, an Italian sovereign territory off the North African coast that has long been a destination for migrants seeking to enter Europe. In 2013, Pope Francis made it his first papal destination outside Rome.
c) On March 4, the Grand Chamber of the Court of Justice of the European Union convened to hear the European Commission’s appeal against its own judicial defeat….
d) What did Tony B-liar do with the 50$ million that Epstn gave him?…. (JH: Another sidenote later on our Watchlist … Basil is on it.)
1. What’s in a generation?
There are those I know playdown generations, esp. those much younger do that … but if you have any sense of which living situation drove most people of note … yes, generation really does come into it, esp. post-war but I’d say even post Great Crash (1929).
For example, look at Roger Moore (1925) versus Sean Connery (1930), look at Adrian Rollini and Bix Beiderbecke (both 1903), F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896) from the 20s ditsy generation. The last truly creative person in tech was Steve Jobs (1955), as against people like Kurt Cobain (1967), Paul Oakenfold (1964) or Rachel Reeves (1979).
Cobain and Oakenfold were adaptors of tech and trends but not creative like a slew of artists of the 40s, peaking mid 50s and after that … the descent began … Gen X were pretty useless and dissolute, whiners and moaners, very dark. Millennials, e.g. Reeves, were just useless (mid Millennial), fault of the Boomers. Tim Berners-Lee (1955).
Also useless drones later in the Boomers … Obama (1961), David Cameron (1966). On the other hand, someone sane and useful, e.g. Kate Hoey (1946) … patterns do emerge by sheer numbers. The uselessness and cushiness started to set in in the mid 50s birthdates, even earlier … the Dr. Spock generation of unprincipled brats, politically left, student radicals etc. but you have to wait till the mid-70s to see the malaise in full swing.
Around about the start of the Millennials. So a generation of malcontents were followed by the children of the Boomers. The new lost generation are Gen Zee, children of Gen X, no prospects in 2026. None of them pre-tech and net. Millennials are in power right now in the middle ranks by age … at least they’re making the running.
I saw a talk between Piers Morgan (1965) and Tucker Carlson (1969, pure Gen X). Erika Kirk (1988) and Candace Owens (1989), both mid-Millennials. Blair was born in 1953 … the beginning of the cushy Boomers.
Where does all this get us? Well, it gets me, at 0332, looking for a second sleep so I can start the work at an earlier hour than 0800. Cheers.
“Rocket scientist (JH: A real one, not the type we know and loathe today) Professor Quatermass tracks a strange meteor shower to the remote English village of Winnerden Flats. There he find a secret government project lab which appears to be collecting the meteors, but refuses any admittance. What does it all mean ?
This rip-roaring sequel to The Quatermass Xperiment is an ominous, breathless, science-fiction/horror minor classic, primarily due to the top-notch script by Nigel Kneale and Guest, which has been copied many times, particularly by Dr Who. The clandestine aura of the invasion and the who/where-exactly-are-they nature of the aliens is tremendously suspenseful, chilling and even absurd (they have government funding !).
Donlevy is one-note in the lead but conveys well his hero’s frustration at the conspiracy and disbelief all around him, James is excellent in a rare serious part as the Fleet Street hack (his death is a profoundly shocking moment), and noted director Forbes (Whistle Down The Wind, The Stepford Wives) is interesting as a scientist-turned-zombie.
The movie’s other trump card is the ultra-creepy setting for the aliens’ base; an endless maze of enormous vats, miles of steel piping, scaffolding, control rooms and conduits (it was filmed at the gargantuan Shellhaven Refinery on the north bank of the Thames Estuary); an eerie place which adds immeasurably to the sinister atmosphere.
The pace is furious, racing through the premise and the initial investigation then carefully blending in elements of authoritarian coverups, political comment, small town drama, military action and full-blown monster movie. It’s an excellent mix of intriguing and intelligent storyline and agreeable adventure, with the next revelation, chase or scare never far away, just the way good cinema should be.
One of the great Hammer films, retitled Enemy From Space for the US release, and followed by the equally brilliant Quatermass And The Pit ten years later.”
