3. DAD on Tuesday at 836

a) With an expected deficit of 6% in the consolidated public sector next year, what does French Prime Minister Barnier have to say about it?

b) DAD – When I went to University, I was told, “We are here to teach you how to think, not what to think”. Not any more……Sustainability & Transition.

JH: What on earth is this utter bollox meant to mean? Can’t they speak the language properly? “Let us thus avoid masking the profound inequalities in terms of intrinsic responsibilities in the face of environmental disturbances on a planetary scale.”

c) Moves by Barack Obama and Nancy Pelosi to force Biden to end his reelection campaign don’t appear to be sitting well with the first lady.

d) A lesson in the English language.

1. Op ed on a delicate matter

If 2020-24 has taught us anything, it’s that previously unimaginable horrors but also blessings are going on and it always follows the same pattern.

Those noticing one then call it out … once some more people see it, it’s promoted to “whistleblowing”, then follows the organised mocking and vilification by Them to protect Themselves and to double down on their practices. Whistleblower Svali, in 2000, answered the question about the inability of the normie to take on board reality, which suits the miscreant, mendacious class fine.

People simply do not wish to know and will rationalise, refuse to fit the now exposed reality into their model, comforting themselves that they’re the rational respectables … not the tinfoilers.

Thus Them continue to get away with murder, literally, plus children are intergenerationally bred for unspeakable things, plus cultural replacement and so on. People are paralysed, initially out of crocodile-eat-me-last syndrome. And so it goes on.

One medical condition which does exist, in among all the professional malingering, hypochondria and benefits seeking, is the subject below but it only surfaces once a high profile character finds ways around it and succeeds in living a high energy life … that helps ameliorate the unmentionable stigma of the thing.

The medical world is not agreed, medical school hardly covers it, even if it exists, there’s every chance con artists will use it, or the lazy or deliberately weak, especially in these days of new conditions being named all the the time to justify indolence or poor social skills … I’d have never written this now, you can be sure of that, had Alastair Lynch not done his thang around 2001-4, killing off accusations of “malingering”. It’s something no man surrounded by hard-heads and go-getters would wish to admit.

Clearly, in his case, he overcame it or rather came to terms with it because a person never really overcomes it … I was reading that it was a viral thing, elsewhere that it was an auto-immune thing, elsewhere that it maybe be cardio-pulmonary … I’m going to give a few examples of the less severe kind, restricted to those people who are anything but lazy, who are constantly moving, doing, on this project or that … the Alastair Lynch type.

In the military, among other things, we used to do route marches on exercises … long treks up hill, down dale, bivouacking at night. We were young, it was tiring but we recovered quickly. Right now, if I go up and down the three flights rapidly, the puffing disappears after about three minutes, which ain’t arf bad if I do say so myself. That sort of fatigue is not the issue here.

For that very reason, to others observing it, you’re seen as fairly indefatigable, which is nice. Except … the truth is slightly different with Alastair Lynch, and me in turn at a lesser level. I really don’t want this to turn into a catalogue of what I would once regularly do but I’ll mention a few others apart from the route march.

Thing is … there’s ordinary fatigue, bog standard … the company tires after a few miles, rests, then presses on. I liked to be at the front of the column as you had more rest at the rest point but then, after much of the afternoon, say, this other sort of fatigue often, not always, set in, usually during or after rest. Translated to today, I may have trained four days ago, two days ago, full-on, shifting respectable weights too, e.g. benching 80% to 90% (calculator out just then) of body weight which I’ll take at this age, thank you very much. I would be in pretty good nick, eating well, sipping liquids.

Suddenly, there’d be pain all through the body … limbs, muscles, breathing … which bore no resemblance to my “real” health level … this was an almost complete loss of function … and it never improves. Back to the route march …

Because it looked so much like lack of stamina, resilience, to others, that’s how they saw it and I was too cream-crackered to explain that this was nowt to do with accumulated fatigue … it was a sudden attack and thus I simply stopped, the column moved through and past, I’d recover and catch them a mile ahead, they’d see me, get up and move on. Hardly good practice for a soldier to be marchrouting alone. Friends distanced themselves and I never explained.

Another example … mate and I used to go jogging after work … I tended to have sportier mates … I’d keep up, even sprint ahead, plus I played rugby (low level) as a flanker … hardly the lifestyle of a couch potato. But after four or five jogging runs, when you’d expect to see some aerobic results, I did not … I never became fit, ever. For short bursts, in series, over a long time, yes, always full recovery every time … but aerobic fitness overall never happened. Why do you think I have a home gym and don’t go for walks, aerobics, whatever?

Last example … WN2 and I were wont to do extended sessions if we could find the time … through the night for example, she’d await the recovery, away we’d go again. There was one weekend we both had entirely free, no other commitments … enough of that. What I never told her but she must have known was that there were these sudden “laziness” attacks, not relaxed, actually in pain but one does not mention pain to a woman. Suddenly it would depart, full energy back, off we’d go again.

Right at this second now I have this pain through the bod … arms, neck … going to need recovery time … and yet rest is what brings it on. Last evening, I posted Steve’s first drop, think I may have just made the second … out like a light … bod simply shut down. There’s some notion some people might have that this involves choice … no it doesn’t … when that attack comes, that’s it.

How does one explain the above? One simply doesn’t … until now. Cure? Certainly not at this age. That’s it.
