20. Steve at 822:4
Summary now, at 2030. There has to be a starting point in dealing with what we’re facing. It could be anywhere … say Friday 8 or 9 or a couple of yesterday’s but the message is exactly the same … we’re dealing with a level of unprofessionalism in security which is jawdropping … and at the very highest levels … not just with the Woke left parties but with the fake conservatives too … the Uniparty.
This is why 822:4 is so good, though even she was being unprofessional talking over the speechgiver at the start. Once she stops that and even stops his long, rambling speech (at that age), then we start getting somewhere. She has two security-minded professionals on the show there and they lay out the mindboggling danger the enemy has asked us, the ordinary people to accept as “normal”.
Why do we accept it? Combination of decades of lies from fakers, a Uniparty, the way they now get to children and the lack of father in family to teach the chn well, such that no one can prevent the things we’re seeing in schools any longer. We’re dealing, not only with very, very bad players but with a shellshocked, dazed public unable to even contemplate the actual level of danger we’re in …
… real danger, not theatrical hyperbole. The speaker at 822:4, the one at the microphone I mean in the opening clip … he understands … and yet fails to take care of his own security. This is … frankly … bizarre. Part of it is the utter disbelief that all failsafes have in fact already been breached … no one can believe they have been.
For what to ask people … why your incredulity? Why is it so hard to see it? Answer … this is classic enemy action upon us, dear fellow humans and the worst enemies are right there in parlmt, in congress. I mean true enemies, actively acting against us … see 822:5 a and b. Not just rhetoric. How can Steve see it, how can I? Because we were trained to, decades ago. Not only us but we’re just the loud ones.
We can only take series of steps, one by one and the very first is the security of the speaker in 822:4 … yes, this also impinges on our own security here and in Europe. Plus you, I, all our readers … need to start looking our own outer, middle and inner defences, making decisions.
More soon.

Big Tish James is back in the news, she’s the crooked New York Attorney General who swore to “get Trump” when she ran for that office. It’s not looking good (for her) on the appeal of the civil fraud case which ended in Trump being fined $355 million in damages …
JH: more over there, inc. link.
13. The latest project testing here at unherdable holdings limited (of brain)
Time to come clean … a bit. Part of this new fun cybersystem here is we can try out website builds to one side while Unherdables continues to do its thang … most useful indeed, as well as having our own search engine. Plus various failsafes.
Right, so I was playing with Ghost … my mate loaded, I played. Ghost is a perfectly acceptable CMS (content management system) for someone at intermediate coding level. In skiing terms, it’s red intermediate slope, whereas I’m blue/red, which is middling-good, no way expert (black).
Now, Ghost is just raw code and so a nice front page can be set up … except … there are no bleedin’ comments on offer, unless you get one, called discourse, and enmesh it … that takes coding skills. For me … a pain. Ghost simply offered no comments thread. Whaaaa?
Which leads to the difference between comments and forums. Forums (fora) are best for expertise chats, i.e. you need to know the best way … go to ghost forum or “headline” forum (a theme not offered but gettable in zip form) … ask your questions.
Where they fall down, fora, when used as blog comments, is that they need reader registering and logging in every single time. Also, our model at Unherdables is not that you would go through all that each time, just to see if anyone’s posted something interesting on the forum … there’s a certain amount of shooting blind there.
This is why sidebar “latest comments” is so important … you only need one click to get to HQ in the first place, glance at comments, start scrolling down (remember I must make this not endless). If there’s anything at NOWP, I signpost that, ditto with UHC or Jstack (nothing today so far by the way at those two, as I’m ill in bed).
Fora do not allow that, they’re blind entry, by definition, plus ugly … plus the last point now:
Both Jstack and Ghost work on a model where you, let’s say you’re a blogger, want your readers’ money, you just gotta have oodles of it … or else you want your readers all signed up, their details now sellable for hackers. Plus it’s assumed that you, this new blogger, wants maximum traffic, never mind how many bots, trolls, dumbos pile in, riff-raff from anywhere … and they all argue and insult each other.
It’s a totally different model to Unherdables.
Here, we have regulars who know the ways of the others … we don’t want, we don’t need, “blind” traffic … we’re a tavern which a certain clientele find to their taste and the beer’s not bad.
Now, in Ghost, the set up stage involved over half how to sign up to this or that in order to maximise my “message”. Ain’t got no message, I’ve the running of a friendly tavern where discussion sometimes gets willing but mainly it’s an alt-source of checked out news … that’s it. Trolling and baiting would only get in the way … your maniacal thirst for traffic in the new blog models would be a giant turnoff in ours, quite against our blogging model here. Bad enough with substack.
So you see … nearly all “modern” blog sites, blog themes, have lost the plot imho. There was one theme only on offer at Ghost working anything like this one … ditto at WP themes library. No one seems interested in just the main blog big column on the left plus sidebar layout on the right anymore … not snazzy enough for modern cool dudes. Today, you need designer front pages with masses of white space … why?
Look, you come into a blog … you want the first post to start just under the narrow navbar, you want latest comments in the sidebar. The picture there is just a concession to pretty colours. You have an opening window, right? You want to decide interesting or not without needing to scroll. At least … that’s so with me.
And who needs Read More lines? I want to be able to scroll down and see all the day’s doings aqap.
Upshot was I ditched Ghost. Shall I try Joomla or the dozen others? Sorry but seems to me that WP and Blgr are still the best … but there’s a heavy price though, innit? “Community wokery”, though to be fair … WP is far better with this.
12. The unlettered screenshots with no links (roundups)
If you scroll down to the Alex Bath piece on Starmer’s BS, where Alex asked was there any need to comment … no there wasn’t any need … it was all in the screenshot and needed no link.
Now, Denileriverafter has this Brad Paquette posting with just the text below but I’ve run it instead as the link and the link expands as you see below, with everything included:
“..It looks like Gretchen Whitmer leveraged the office of the Michigan Governor to send out disinformation alongside mail-in-ballot applications intended to solicit votes from inactive voter registrations like that of my mother’s maiden name from the 70s.
Gov Whitmer sent a letter to the house my mom grew up in (a hard dem household) claiming that freedom and voting rights are at risk, to then implore the reader to sign a prefilled application allowing a ballot to be sent to seemingly any location, permanently, based upon a signature. ..”

It looks like Gretchen Whitmer leveraged the office of the Michigan Governor to send out disinformation alongside mail-in-ballot applications intended to solicit votes from inactive voter registrations like that of my mother's maiden name from the 70s. @GovWhitmer sent a letter… pic.twitter.com/p2T8XCzNPV
Now we get into an argument here … you can click that letter and if on X, enlarge it … but not if not on X. And do you actually need all that extra page space? Because it means it exponentially increases the scrolling required for the reader, given the sheer number of topics we cover.
Plus there’s the time involved. The Brad P link was a one click thing … easy on me, not cumulatively easy on the reader. So both methods have their annoyances. Here’s a mini roundup in our regular style:
I’m suggesting, reader, that as there are no links involved or provided by them, as said links are not necessary in order to get the general idea, then that’s fine, as long as it’s four, max five.
Now, just had a criticism from one our regulars that it’s all sorts of topics in the one post … that apparently does his head in and fair dos if that’s so … sorry me.
The only way I have around that is a separate number for every single item. Fine for the reader … not so good for me and here’s why … every new subheading is purple. There is no autosetting at this WP theme. For every heading, I must turn the ipad into portrait, click select, click bold, click colour bar, click the second panel, click the hexcode panel, use delete to take away the default six letters and numbers, type in six new ones, save …
… which creates a revision with WP … which is a complete “shot” of the post, each one occupying disk space. Multiply that by every sub heading in the post, times the number of posts in the day … you getting the idea?
Now it’s all well and fine saying to me, “I’m not interested in your blog issues, Jimbo.” Fine but they’re still issues for a’ that. And there’s the rub. On the other hand, with DAD and Steve, I do put in a, b, c, d … which does make it easier all round … readers understand that it is a different topic on each issue.
(1015) Cold and windy, had a cold attack again earlier … old codgers need to stay warm 24/7. I have some big screenshots today and other items not for a “roundup”, plus some for a roundup. The eagle-eyed will have noticed a feature post on Old Ireland (colourised) and it loaded fine … all good. Tested it … prats insisted we “sign-in” to their “community” to watch. Goodbye.

James….I need to do a follow up but I glanced at something earlier. According to the writer, our area was hit by a storm Sept. 26, 1958. It was a category 4 storm named Helene.
5. Ha ha, like it at TCW
THIS may come as a surprise, but behind the bluster of Donald J Trump is divine inspiration. The remarkable story of the 45th President of the US began long before his birth. The year was 1919 and the setting Stornoway on the Isle of Lewis, where one of the worst tragedies in modern British history occurred.A thousand men from the sparsely populated Outer Hebridean terrain of Harris and Lewis (a single island divided by mountains) had died in the Great War. This was a significant loss of labour to the community, which worked hard to survive in a harsh climate. On New Year’s Eve 1918 the surviving soldiers were at last returning from their service on the Western Front.
The enemy, naturally, top of ggl rankings … Reuters etc. … has the first few pages of “debunkings” that Reagan ever said it and both Snopes and some Reagan library woman weigh in, in similar vein, using the old “could not find” gambit. Look the other way, say you searched thoroughly and “reluctantly” could find no reference. Means diddly squat.
Left pundits then move it one stage further and say it was never said by Reagan. Of course that means nothing at all. Samuel Johnson said many things to his scribe, many which made it into print. The Oxford Book of Quotations has many “attributed” quotes and that’s the most honest stance to take, provided of course that you have a name to attribute it to.
In this case, there’s not and so the quote is useless. And as a leftist on Quora asked … who cares about Reagan anyway? That’s really not the issue… the issue is how much of it is true. So what does ggl say?
Thomas Ludwig John D’Alesandro Jr. (August 1, 1903 – August 23, 1987) was an American politician who served as the 41st mayor of Baltimore from 1947 to 1959.
Pelosi’s mother was also active in politics, organizing Democratic women and teaching her daughter political skills.[9] Pelosi’s brother, Thomas D’Alesandro III, also a Democrat, was elected Baltimore City Council president and later served as mayor from 1967 to 1971.[7]
Interesting thing is the link would not embed … kept saying “bad request” … you’re following all this I assume. Now note that this is all still enemy territory … haven’t even touched Gab or X on it yet. The prime issue is … is there prima facie cause to keep investigating the notion of c*rr*pt Balti**** politics … city hall, not unlike Tammany Hall … or is there not the slightest reason to dive more deeply?
On the above, given her own subsequent behaviour, there’s plent of reason to deep dive. For example:
“In July, PaulPelosi, the husband of Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi, sold over $500,000 of Visa stock, two months before the Justice Department launched an antitrust lawsuit against the credit card company.”
That’s part of it … there was this too:
Now the issue of one day before or two months before is not all that relevant … DJT is taking an enormous risk if it was not one day before, so our stance here is let’s wait till Pelosi sues Trump to see if she has a case or not. If she does, I’m happy to take down the post item here, along with grovelling apology, along with anything nasty I’ve ever written about Baltimore being corrupt … for all we know, it might be a paragon of virtue.

1. Latest from AP
CRAWFORDVILLE, Fla. (AP) — Hurricane Helene strengthened into a Category 4 storm hours ahead of its expected landfall on Florida’s northwest coast Thursday night as forecasters warned that the enormous system could create a “nightmare” storm surge in coastal areas and bring dangerous winds and rain across much of the southeastern U.S.
Helene, which had strengthened into a Category 3 storm earlier Thursday, prompted hurricane and flash flood warnings extending far beyond the coast up into northern Georgia and western North Carolina. Strong winds already cut power to over 320,000 homes and businesses in Florida, according to the tracking site poweroutage.us. The governors of Florida, Georgia, Alabama, the Carolinas and Virginia all declared emergencies in their states.
The hurricane was about 110 miles (175 kilometers) west of Tampa and had sustained winds of 130 mph (215 kph), according to the U.S. National Hurricane Center. Accelerating through the Gulf of Mexico, it was moving north-northeast at 23 mph (37 kph), and life-threatening storm surges of up to 20 feet (6 meters) were expected in the Big Bend area of Florida.
…….
There’s a lady on X called Sassafras and her thread is far more alive than the forecast, various residents saying too late to flee … no fun being caught in traffic jams on the I-10. She says she has cows and chickens, can’t leave them … another says there’s more danger fleeing, her wildlife is inside. Apparently DeSantis is ready with corps of engineers … they seem confident in him.
Concern for me is I saw the shadow and it curled under Mobile and down further south is where Todles is … please pray for all.
One lady, been there all her life, said surge above 7 feet is lethal … some areas are way above that, some below. One from Georgia said they don’t get many of these around her way … she was worried.
……..
That was around our 2300, they’re 5 hours behind, it’s now our 0100 and signing off.
13. Just looking at those from sunnier climes than ours
… and really wondering at the violence … looking at Eric Adams and at this clown:
If embattled New York City Mayor Eric Adams, currently under federal indictment, ultimately steps down, the NYC Public Advocate, stoker of anti-cop sentiment and *defund the police* advocate, Jumaane Williams becomes heir apparent to Gracie Mansion.
This Williams is from Grenada. Without looking at the sub-saharans, keeping it to the Caribbean … what is it, for example, about Jamaicans once they hit London … suddenly they’re Yardies. And yet the music is so gentle as you’ll hear below, or at least melodic, not thumping. The third song for example, in the hands of the English, becomes in yer face skinhead music … why?
12. Two liars found out
11. The utter failure to understand
… and the complete disregard for the need to. The only reason these psycho clowns are emboldened has just been mentioned … we were discussing it today and both came to the same point. Is it that the ordinary person is as thick as pig dos or is that they’ve never seen it happen, they simply cannot believe it’s anywhere near as bad as what it is … some quotes which put it nicely:
10. Hurricane Helene
This does seem a nasty one about to land. Our Toodles was right in the path of one, in a closet so there’s nothing she can’t say about them … she asks and others on X ask that if you’re the praying kind … please put one in for Floridians and those after that in the path. Ta.
Sorely underrated and dismissed at the time of its release, The Running Man can now be seen for what it it: a highly effective thriller. Director Carol Reed was said to be shaken after being dismissed from Mutiny on the Bounty, but it really doesn’t show. He conducts us deftly through a nicely conceived intrigue, with no time wasted. If a viewer can forgive a small handful of plot contrivances, this movie delivers in suspense, interesting characters, acting, and pleasing use of locations.
The cast is superb: Laurence Harvey might look underfed, but his character is richly drawn he seems to have a great time. Lee Remick has never been better: a woman who sees her husband for what he really is when he assumes a new identity. And Alan Bates, an actor who radiated charm, brings a lot of substance to his part. Watch for Fernando Rey and Fortunio Bonanova (the singing teacher from Citizen Kane –“Impossible! Impossible!”) as a bank manager.
The script has a good helping of humor along with the suspense. And William Alwyn’s music score enhances the film as well. It may not be The Third Man, but The Running Man is likely to satisfy most fans of thrillers, the director and the estimable cast. (IMDb)
DM, in comments (see sidebar) wrote that there’s an issue … he gets to the other site but when clicked, nothing comes up. Right, firstly to establish that we’re both doing the same thing … can you all see DM’s comment in this sidebar (you might have to click, expand and read).
I next go to the green link Thursday [1 to 5], click it, scroll down the resulting page and there’s this:
Look up to the navbar menu and you’ll see NOWP, click and this should appear:
Click on either 2 replies or the 821 heading and it will bring up that post but you’ll have to scroll to this:
From what DM’s writing, it seems that the window goes blank at that point for him. Firstly, there have been some overall iffy things happening on the ipad since the new site went up but so far, NOWP has not been the prob. If it is, then there are some standard actions …
Refresh the page (mine is a semicircular arrow up top) or click on the NOWP again and it will usually resolve it. If NOWP 821 still can’t be accessed, then something is going on. Pure speculation on my part but it might be a deliberate disconnect between HQ and NOWP to prevent that easy clickability … we’ve been finding some of this going on in other places.
Plus I’ve been losing all content after visiting X or Gab after about ten minutes in either. That might be a result of being hacked, something or someone agin far-right as they see us … seems only to happen to our activity … it might be.
So, definitely not pooh-poohing what DM writes … it’s possible, plus different devices, browsers, parts of the UK or France do enter into consideration. Plus GCHQ or the companies involved … whatever. There’s a case to just exit, go do a job or visit elsewhere, come back sometime later. Yes, agreed … bleedin’ pain … but it is what those of our views are contending with more and more post-2020 now online.
(0929) Oops, went back to bed and fell asleep … looks pretty bleah out there, must be autumn. (1029)
7. Just went right through Gab and X
… the timelines I mean … and there’s really nothing that takes us much further fwd … seems to be one of those days. Not to worry, summarising yesterday’s political aspects of our long cyber conversation here whilst doing the doings on the hardware and software, the question came up of the US election result.
My mate was sure, and I agree, that if the Demonrats’ and RINO cheating scores them another “victory”, then there’ll be civil war over there. My feeling was that, given Emerald’s reports on Trump’s advisers, something is quite off … they seem to have no “ground game”.
Another aspect was Johnson visiting Mar-a-lago, then going straight back to DC and announcing his package. Now that could mean anything … Trump attempting to dissuade him from leaving out SAVE or them agreeing on the plan. Who knows definitively? And this threat to Iran … ????
Perceptions seem the whole game … the Rats steal again, J6 prisoners stay in … just what can Americans do, uncombined? Pick off their own soldiers and plod, also the National Guard? Will Russia be provoked and the “leaders” have gone into those tunnels under the Appalachians which Svali spoke about in 2000? With entourages?
My mate thought there’d be much picking off, probably minor identities, none of the big players. Also, the Rats are making clear that it will take days, the counting, which most pundits understand means until sufficient votes can be found and delivered. If it’s done electronically, then it would not require any physical dumping, plus the early voting has already started. Is Corey Lew too late?
Were there some sort of sporadic civil war across the country, would that spill over here, across the pond? Is this when the UN and sub-saharan “troops” are activated against any resistance from us? Does this explain the total lack of respect from these psychos above towards us?
