22. Hoping everyone has registered those chickens

You have until Tuesday … does everyone over 18 have to register at least one? What are their names? All mine are called Eric.

21. Andrew Bridgen

The question has to be: “why did every Government exaggerate the dangers of Covid 19 and insist we all took the jabs?” Follow the money.

20. Alabama-Georgia game 0030 Sunday BST

The Harris campaign is going to troll Trump at tonight’s huge Alabama-Georgia game with a banner mocking Trump for refusing to debate Kamala Harris. This comes as Trump will be in attendance for the game. This is going to be epic.

19. Rosie Duffield MP quits the Labour Party

“The sleaze, nepotism and apparent avarice are off the scale. I am so ashamed of what you and your inner circle have done to tarnish and humiliate our once proud party.”

18. Meanwhile

17. Helene report at midday our time, from NBC

What we know about Helene

• Helene has weakened to a post-tropical cyclone and is moving north, bringing what the National Hurricane Center called “catastrophic, historic flooding” over parts of the southern Appalachians.
• At least 42 deaths across the Southeast have been reported as a result of the storm. 
• At 11 p.m. ET, the storm was about 115 miles east-northeast of Paducah, Kentucky, and moving west-southwest at 8 mph. It had maximum sustained winds of 30 mph.
• The storm made landfall in Florida’s Big Bend region as a Category 4 storm Thursday night at 11:10 p.m. Emergency services were rescuing people trapped by fast-rising waters. 
• More than 3.8 million customers are without power across Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia, West Virginia, Kentucky, Ohio and Illinois amid fears that outages could last weeks.

16. Steve has war room at 823

… and Andy has two exciting geo-eco-political pieces there too.

15. Cunningly disguised Sat-Mat

Worst film ever, ever made?

For anyone that wants to make movies, Plan 9 is a must see. Not for it’s lush style, great dialogue, fabulous production design, nor for the compelling performances given by the players. It doesn’t have any of that. What it does have though, is poor production design, continuity gaps you can drive a space shuttle through, and writing that’s so bad, it’s amazing anyone had the nerve to show it. That is what makes it a must see.

Ed Wood, Jr. was not talented, but he was determined. He did something that many extremely talented people have not done. He got it released. He wrote it, produced it and directed it. When his star, Bela Lugosi, died during filming, he still finished it. Not just this one either, he put out several films, and not one of them is any good.

So for all of you aspiring Scorseses or Spielbergs, when the world gets you down, and you just don’t know how you can get it done, when you feel like you’ve lost it, pop in “Plan 9”. I bet you’ll feel better.

14. Dystopian Northern Ireland

More on forced death jabs and detention.

… Passacaglia

(1229) Afternoon, chaps and chapesses. There are posts at UHC and Jstack. (1257)

13. Moosh corner

12. Power to the people

11. The power of the meme

10. No link on this

… you’ll get an idea where to find it:

9. Vaxx

Chap at TCW put a remarkably short piece, with link and my first thought was muddled … why not run the article?

More measured thinking told me Kathy was wise, in this fascistic country under Starmer and Rowley, to do it that way. See, the thing is that she continues to put out her content.

8. Steve at 822 (a JH selection)

Man from 4:

Rep. Eli Crane Warns President Trump Against Returning to Butler

Man from 3:

ICE Report Reveals Over 13,000 Murderers, 15,000 Rapists, and 425,000 Convicted Criminals Allowed Into America by Biden-Harris Open Border

Man from 2:

Zelensky to leave US without permission to strike deep into Russia

Man from 1:

Entire UK Labour Government should be thrown out and banned from public office

7. Penseivat at 822:5b

I understand that a shed load of Labour MPs, who either voted for, or abstained over, the cancelling of the winter fuel allowance, are requesting the heating in their offices be turned up, as it’s too cold for them. If this is true, it shows the hypocrisy of this government.

On the same topic, my mate down the pub suggests that pensioners, especially those in Labour constituencies, all gather together in council office foyers, or even constituency offices …

6. To post or not to post

… that is the question … whether tis nobler in the mind to say it … or whether to shut it because certain good people close to me are part of the species, biologically … the good part, natch, nothing like those mentioned below … plus it’s written by a man, Neon Revolt, who does not like this demographic at all but like most men, does love the best of the species … largely on our side, natch.

The question then arises … am I a man or a mouse? In failing to address this egregious lot who’ve always been nothing but trouble, like certain invaders … is that pathetically weak of me, fearing that our good members of the species here might be miffed?

So here tis … in two parts:

a. This is a problem.

You see, the reason we have elections is because they are a cheaper proxy than war. In elections, the biggest side wins, which would probably be the case with war too. But in elections, no one dies, and you don’t have to spend money on weapons etc. So it’s a good proxy.

However, it doesn’t work when one side is significantly weaker than the other, such as when women are on one side and men on the other. In this case, even if the women outnumber the men and would win an election, the women would not win a war, and so the proxy is no longer an adequate proxy.

And if we were to switch from elections to war, it would be one side that is mostly women against another side that is mostly men. Men would win easily with very few casualties.

So why would men consent to be ruled by elections when they could more easily win a war? This is why women never should have been allowed to vote. It nullifies elections as proxies for war, and we end up having to have war instead.

Uh huh.

b. Kamala literally **is** a Boomer.

Go to her rallies. You will see it lined, wall-to-wall with Boomer cat ladies. I would go so far as to say her voting base is almost exclusively Boomer women – aka AWFLs. Stop deluding yourself.

These are awful people, the absolute spoiled, entitled detritus of humanity willing to condemn all of us to a thousand years of darkness because they want a “fellow vagina-haver” to have the nuclear football.

My own feeling about it is a quandary … they are precisely the ones who wormed their way into key positions or were parachuted … they support all those Haitian cat eaters, the wrecking of towns, families, the murdering of full term and beyond babies … and yet they see themselves as kind and compassionate.

Whereas we, in our curmudgeonly way, do not support such satanic things. Go figure.

5. Oz Grand Final (Premiership), MCG

Had forgotten, saw, looked into it, surprised.

Last week, some might recall, the Lions held off the Cats and they did this from 5th place, almost unheard of with the League’s algorithm of top four, bottom four in the finals (playoffs).

120 to 60 points it seems.

My thoughts? Well both Swans and Lions are displaced “development” teams from the 80s when the competition went truly national. The Swans had been the “Lakeside” team:

I once used to sail about 50 metres from the corner of that ground, so I’ve affection for the Swans. They were then displaced to Sydney. No affection for Sydney but the team … yes. Interestingly, they had a longtime hold over the Cats, the Swans did … winning many encounters. I’m thinking part of the reason is it’s tough to hate them, most people have affection for them.

I also have affection for the Lions because they were originally Fitzroy in Melbourne and the colours were maroon and navy. No one hated them except mongrel teams … I was once at a game at the Cats’ ground and there were families in the outer … goodness me … snacking and handing out cups of tea. Both team’s supporters intermingled … I mean, really! They were near impossible to hate, the Lions … displaced to Brisbane.

So how did I feel, seeing the score just now? Slight disappointment … the Swans deserved it but also pretty amazing of a team from 5th … they deserved it.

Either way, the mongrel teams I detest were not part of the playoffs.

4. Same old question

… do you buy that it’s so … or not?

https://www.dailywire.com/news/watch-non-citizens-say-they-are-registered-to-vote-in-key-swing-state

The ones interviewed but not named … well they’d be silly to name themselves, yes? So we have what we have.

Source? These people … check the columnists rather than only the authors:

https://www.dailywire.com/authors

My stance? Buy for now, prepare to shelve but probably not … seems correct for now, given the rest of what goes on there in Arizona.

Not everyone’s going to agree with him on this … some will …

3. A curiosity which does not go away

If I quote this quote:

… then look him up, he’s a hoax-finder, anti-Zionist, not solid enough to build a case on, any more than is Alex Jones or those clobbering him on the other deep govt side. More broadly, is Jones a fake? I’ve read and seen much on’t but nothing convinces either way.

Seems to me that we’re in a sort of bubble of never knowing … how to resolve it? Actually travel there to the site, seemingly now demolished? What will that prove, any more than the Ground Zero rubble, now well removed from the 911 site?

Reminds me of many conundrums, from JFK to the McMartin preschool tunnels to David Kelly (clever fiend, Blair). Bottom line is “no one can prove finally, one way or the other” and no amount of blunt, convinced, dogmatic statement is going to alter that.

Lastly for now, it reminds me of The Thirty-Nine Steps (the Buchan book from 1915) and the character Hannay mentions, a South African Peter Pienaar, appearing in a few Hannay stories of the time and illustrating the whole thing about plausibility.

This continues at OoL … Peter Pienaar and Richard Hannay.

2. The Daily Sceptic (blogrolls)

2c above (meaning the Thueringian parliament) reminds me of A Man for all Seasons (Bolt) and the way More placed great faith in The Law. Bolt had (my memory is vague) one of the churchmen regret pursuing the King’s interest with zeal but not God’s (can’t remember if Wolsey or Cranmer).

1. DAD at 823:1

a) The new French Minister of Higher Education and Research is not exactly making the scientific community happy, due to his positions on hydroxychloroquine and homeopathy …

b) What does a student put into his school satchel these days? A calculator, pens, books………… and a hammer ! The future of France is in hands such as these …

c) While France mourns Philippine … a march in support for her may have a counter march, by the left, in support of immigrants. 

d) Wise words from an old lady. 

On the occasion of her 90th birthday, Brigitte Bardot gave an interview. 

An excerpt……..

“There are so many people of good will and deeply believing people who are no longer practicing. So many churches are closed… We can’t even go in to say a prayer. It’s tragic. When I think that Notre-Dame burned down. It’s as if we were living in a satanic, negative and destructive era.”

……

JH: Symbolically, looking at Brigitte, at DAD, then at those of that vintage in France, then returning to Brigitte … it’s as if Marianne herself, minus the revolutionary, secular trappings, was now ageing and who will now defend her?

I am not that age by a long shot … I try to imagine the world by the time I am that age … if a world still exists … my feeling is the Messiah will have long returned by then. Who was it said that the collapse, when it does come, will be sudden and complete, after a slow descent over a long, termiting, undermining time.

I’m thinking that the vast majority will be still-bewildered, while the usual 10 to 15%, even in enlightened days, will gaze on if still alive, shaking the head but nonetheless welcoming the bloody end. Small consolation that Man, by himself, cannot see a secular solution through the morass. So be it.
