The Russian for train station is “voksal” (transliterated). Exciting, eh?

(1031) I’m back, lovely day out there (not), chores done. (1222)

4. X roundup

3. Gab roundup

Matt Gaetz:

The American people deserve to know who’s weaponizing their government! Jack Smith continues to wage lawfare against President Trump despite a federal judge ruling he was unlawfully appointed and effectively a private citizen. 

Today, I sent a letter to AG Merrick Garland demanding to know who authorized his continued and unlawful witch hunt against President Trump and whether Smith ignored the Justice Manual’s guidance on election interference.

(0542) Still dark out there … real life impinges again … I have to go out on one of those rare sorties and it will cut out at least the first half of the morning … going to post a bit here, do that, return (hopefully) and post some more to the “outlying sites”. At least that’s the cunning plan. (0811)

2. TDS on the day Starmer releases 1000s of the worst crims onto the streets

… or so the story goes … to make way for dissonant citizens:

1. IYE dropped in a novel approach to getting DJT across the line

… which Draino put up (see X or 803 across the way):

Forgive me for being cynical but there’s too much theatre, too many clutched straws which turned out to be that in the fine print, when the whole legal sysyem has been riddled, addled over there, by bad players.

My attitude is, as always, in response to the question posed by secular conservatives or rather anti-Wokists … and it’s this:

“If you fanatics are genuinely eschatologically seeing Armageddon coming, then why would you be helping us (e.g. Isabel Vaughan-Spruce) to fight, perchance to die, in this fight to save humanity?”

The answer lies in the two main commandments … not just to love, as in do all you can for the Trinitarian God but the second is like unto it … to love thy neighbour … a much tougher assignment. Anyone can love family and close friends … much harder to love the little birdbrains in schools, college, later in life who’ve been brainwashed by feelgood rhetoric, the painted picture of a socialist utopia which is actually hidden dystopia.

But the stumbling block is one which Bergoglio and Welby, to name two “leaders”, peddle … they interpret “love thy neighbour” as tolerate and even come to love wrongdoing, perversion, the wrecking of society.

So in fact, the genuine Christian in terms of the gospel pronouncements is just as much a fierce fighter for good as secularists are, till the end by the way, otherwise they fear they will not enter heaven after all … with that added spur of a nice package of courage, protection, comfort on the side, in the sense of a well provided for army. And over time, just as it was in days of yore, many a military commander or sailor was a “good Christian man” (and women)

Trouble is that that history has been expunged from schools and in broken homes, esp. Zoomers, Millennials, many Gen X … and it started going wrong with Boomers but actually before too … Leary, Marcuse etc. Post WW2 history is a tale of the falling away in society … you can give it a Christian or secular spin … comes to the same falling away … morally, ethically, ushering in destruction.

So, back to the screenshot of IYE above … what chance that that move might work? I say who knows? But let’s give it the best shot we can, let’s try everything under the sun, even a bit of faith and backbone … who knows if it might not prevail this time around? Thing is … WE humans ourselves don’t know … we have what we have, we have living guidelines … we are up against armies, not just of orcs but of ordinary humans, brainwashed to do wrong, of corrupt pollies and those in all high places.

As Svali said in 2000 … these people are arrogant, they make mistakes, they contradict one another in their cognitive dissonance.

Hopefully see you later in the morning, chaps and chapesses.

16. Toodles part two

The Nash Rambler:

15. When one has a bad feeling about things

… but can’t quite pin it down, get a line on it … talking about on the personal front mainly:

It wasn’t just that … I had a nasty email from a firm, they were wrong, I talked to the govt, the govt were nice … work that one out. I thought at OoL it was 911 today, others had glitches … not a good day.

14. Three more

13. Toodles part one

JH: Nixon is an enigma. At my age then, too young, it was all leftwing … Nixon was the baddy, the Demrats fine people we thought. Then he started getting ideas (see clip) and it was inevitable. All the while, there was Kissinger in the room.

Research rather than quiz.

a. What’s the English for the place name Himmelreich in Germany?

b. It lies at the edge of the Höllental … meaning?

c. In which Canadian province is Swastika?

d. In which city was Kinki University before 2014?

e. The Dutch digraph IJ refers to which city?

f. How do locals say Canberra (Oz capital)?*

g. There are two Normanslands in the UK … which counties?

* Write the stressed vowel as capitals.

12. Cyber matters connected to this site

Concerning blips, glitches … there are multiple IPs involved with me and they switch. At worst, they can create 2 minutes downtime during the changeover. Moves were made this morning that will always make it no more than 2 minutes, so my suggestion to readers is the same as if they’d been on Gab or X and there’d been nothingness for a few minutes.

Put the kettle or the coffeebrewer on, visit someone else or NOWP. Come back and it will be fine … in fact, it was already down this morning, as we tried it.

How often might this happen? Two days, two months … no way of knowing … once in a while is the short answer.

Bottom line is that there’s nothing really wrong … give it a few minutes, come back and refresh the page. Cheers.

11. Short roundup

Right, I’d like to address John’s and Alexandra’s points. As I was rushing, I saw JB’s comments on “exact opposite”, thought Starmer … then realised/remembered it was US politics … and yet it read out just like UK politics. Think there’s a message in that somewhere.

Now EllyMelly. Sigh. She’s a girl. She’s saying (and genuinely thinking and feeling) all the right things. At some level, she even understands what they’re doing to the Donald, Telegram, Rumble, X … but still sees herself as the fearless warrior, still taking public transport to work, plus being provocative, arguing with trolls, rather than shutting them out.

Thing is … they CAN hurt her … she’s messing with The Man there. Juss sayin’. She’s revelling n being notorious. The rest of us are just being careful, watching our backs.

10. Ladies at lunchtime

… all in one pic today:

My interest, apart from the one we recognise, is actually the social grouping at the table behind … that’s my story and I’m sticking to it!

9. Now these psychopathic loons “above”

First off, at UHC is the (almost) daily post on “Two PTB pariahs and one tolerated”, which does set the scene for the (almost) daily post there on “Your personal Rubicon”.

Theme is that if we individually take care of ourselves and our families, the cruel and psychotic PTB who really hate us with a passion knowing that full well … then they know that only one by one will we reach that personal Rubicon … which then makes it easy for the stasi to then pick us off and punish.

They are playing, risking all, on the principle that ordinary, reasonably sane and decent people do have this Achilles heel, to mix metaphors, of being unherdable cats … our weakest point.

8. IYE at 802

Germany – AFD calls for an end to mail in ballots…

{If you keep scrolling down that page other items appear. BMW and Hungary’s solar park, for example.}

(0724) Bleah out there, not dry, no leaves fallen, washing on, writing to you.

7. Haven’t even read this yet

HERE

The Democrats have sent this out to their fold:

“… we’re strengthening our largest-ever voter protection program to protect against Trump and his allies’ attacks on our voting rights. It’s why we’ve made a six-figure investment in the Democrats Abroad program to register and earn the votes of the nearly 9 million Americans living and serving overseas. And it’s why we’re expanding our successful virtual organizing efforts to engage and mobilize as many volunteers as we can, so you can get involved no matter where you are.”

6. IYE, at 802:5

… runs some Jeffersonian history.

5. Thoughts from above

Occasionally, ideas flit through the mind and one just now was to click on 1 Cor 1 and there in front of me was this:

[22] For the Jews require a sign, and the Greeks seek after wisdom:
[23] But we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews a stumblingblock, and unto the Greeks foolishness;
[24] But unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God.
[25] Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men

Uh huh … insight into the fledgling church going out to the gentiles … interesting.

4. 911

I have a post up at OoL right now on that infamous date.

3. Dearieme wondered

… about the now too complex blog system.

And well he might … I prefer to euphemise it as “diffusing”, as not putting all the eggs in one basket. In practice, it was a result of the stolen ONO … first one version of N.O. stepped in, then another, I made a third, my tech mate made a fourth, which you’re on now.

This site you’re now on, (which I’m shortening to just HQ as the five letters are unwieldy), is where I blog from … Julia saw that yesterday and altered her blogroll accordingly. This site is where I intend to blog from but it seems there’s a tech glitch which has not yet surfaced. If it does, blogging switches to UHC for the interim.

NOWP remains “reader drops” as it has been … quite a history there actually … goes right back.

Which leaves Jstack … in some ways unworkable for both blogger and commenter, best as a fourth site.

UHC and Jstack I’ll keep posting at (almost) once a day, with some post of interest … purpose of that is to just keep them ticking over, keep them in good nick. I also post at OoL three times a week … can’t see that altering … there’s one from me on 911 right now.

2. Torquaymada quoted ZH last evening

Here’s the writer’s take on “futurism”:

Futurism is, in my view, the key to all modern authoritarianism. It’s a philosophy that has been present at the birth of nearly every major despotic government in recent memory and it’s the root of leftist ideology today. Futurists argue that history is, for the most part, dead weight. They believe that every notion of heritage, the lessons of the past, the ideals and principles of our forefathers are all irrelevant.

Futurists think nothing is sacred and all new ideas are superior to all old ideas. Therefore, they claim, any society that clings to (or conserves) the old ways needs to be dismantled because it is holding humanity back from progress. In other words, anyone promoting or defending traditional norms must be silenced in the name of “progress.”

I suspect most people reading this at least intuitively understand the monstrous nature of this belief system. The very structure of futurism is based on a lie – The idea that all change is good and that any oppression committed in the name of change is justified.

(0043) All my own fault listening to, not watching, Alex M and Levan G. Went past midnight when this insanity came up:

The last lot of deranged psychos I’m remotely interested in are this lot of “greens” in Germany. Most online saw the Green deathcult MP, in Switzerland, take a gun into a church and shoot up images of Jesus and Mary. Seriously unhinged, the “greens”, nothing environmentally friendly whatever.

That clown above uses extremist language but do you see me anywhere here suggesting using violence on them? So who’s the fanatic? Radicalisation? What’s radical mean? Back to roots, no? Back to society, family, nation, friends, bonhomie, industriousness, charity etc. etc.

Where do I anywhere suggest that their “green” loonery publications be banned? Nor Snopes, nor that C4 clown Newman, nor Mad Cow at CNN, the letter agency front. Nor Codswallop at the Grauniad. They’re simply of no interest. Far cry, innit, our attitude, from what they’re actively trying on?

Expressing disagreement unconstitutional? In whose universe? North Korea’s?
