16 IYE at 838

14. More on the Harris ethnicity thing

Now looky here, good reader … I can’t even remember yesterday’s details, let alone days ago, but one of us, male or female, clearly covered this topic of Harris and posted a Candace vlog or two on it … all right, this one’s from Rogue Nation … not sure it’s anything new.

13. Just now on Quora … lady called Kelly

Have you ever walked into your home and known something wasn’t right? What happened?

I was 15 and came home early from school as it was last day of term before Christmas. My mum was at work.

I walked in and the house felt weird. It wasn’t right. Then I looked around, there were jumpers and sweaters all over the kitchen floor, the wall unit drawers were open. I still didn’t quite understand why my mum left such a mess. I went to the living room and all her porcelain ornaments were missing. It was then I turned around and noticed the dining room window had been forced open. That was when I realised it was a burglary.

According to the police they suspect I disturbed them and whilst I was unlocking the back door, going in and trying to understand what was going on, the perpetrators actually scarpered through the front as there were some items in half full bags left near the door.

12. Polio

While looking at Ida Lupino’s biography, I saw that she had had polio in 1930. I have a recollection of a boy who had it (think he eventually got over it or came to terms with it) during a pandemic, missed that horror myself … I hope … anyway, I looked it up.

Fecal matter in water or food I read … always comes in via the mouth. Poor sanitation. I also saw this:

By 2015, polio was believed to remain naturally spreading in only two countries, Pakistan and Afghanistan,although it continued to cause outbreaks in other nearby countries due to hidden or re-established transmission.

Good thing we have no one from those places then, innit … not in our polio-free Britain … no one iffy gets to handle food in this country, do they?

11. Badlands, via IYE at 838

The threat posed by Canada.

The recent positioning of former Bank of England chair Mark Carney as the replacement of the beleaguered tool Justin Trudeau as Prime Minister of Canada (via his appointment as chairman of Canada’s new Taskforce for Economic Growth’) should serve as a reminder of the nefarious role which British Canada has played as an anti-republican hub in world affairs for generations.

A very strange film indeed

Political hostilities will resume around 1530 with Badlands.

 

Always pays to read the reviews … this is far better than at first supposed, the history of the actor and actresses was most interesting and the review below is full of spoilers … in fact, the first spoiler is coming up right now … the lovely Lupino kills her benefactor … the whole cast seem insane. Review:

‘From “vanilla blonde” starlet of the early thirties to startling character actress of the late thirties, Ida Lupino should have been a bigger star but she was at the wrong studio. Warners already had Bette Davis who was always given first choice of the plum roles, in fact Ida was only signed by Warners as a threat to Davis, as Davis was being particularly difficult at that time.

Even though Ida claimed she was never allowed to pick her own roles, over the coming years she made the movies that she is best remembered for – but not all were for Warners. “Ladies in Retirement” was made for Columbia and not only gave Ida her favourite part but also a chance to work with her husband at the time – Louis Hayward. It had been a successful Broadway play of the previous year and Flora Robson had made the role of Ellen Creed, the determined middle aged housekeeper who resorts to murder to keep her two “pixilated” sisters together, her own.

Ida was only 23 but somehow she managed to put together the talent and skill to portray sinister maturity. To get herself in part she wore her hair severely pulled back with as little make up as possible and almost willed herself into the iron willed woman who had to dominate this macabre Victorian melodrama.

Set in England in the late nineteenth century, frivolous, elderly Miss Leonora Fiske (Isobel Elsom recreating her stage role) reluctantly agrees to let Ellen (Lupino) her house keeper companion, have her two “pixilated” sisters (Elsa Lancaster and Edith Barrett) come to stay for a short visit. But the visit turns to permanence and when their behaviour becomes intolerable, Miss Fiske demands they leave.

Ellen’s thieving “nephew” Albert (Hayward) arrives while she is in London collecting her sisters and he puts Miss Fiske wise about what she is letting herself in for – he describes the sisters as “batty” and “crazy”. It doesn’t take long for them to disrupt the household and even though Ellen begs and pleads for them to be allowed to stay, Miss Fiske’s mind is made up.

Ellen’s is made up as well and after sending her sisters away for the day she calmly and methodically strangles the older woman while she is at the piano, then hides her body in an old wall oven which doubles as a safe.

Like a bad penny, the charming Albert returns and soon has the pixilated sisters eating out of his hand. Emily confesses to him that Ellen told them that she has bought the house from Miss Fiske but that they have been sworn to secrecy. Between Albert and Lucy (Evelyn Keyes), a parlour maid he has been stringing along, Ellen’s icy demeanour finally cracks and realising that her sisters will be looked after she walks out to meet the police.

I do not see how Ida Lupino could have been better in the part, from stubborn patience to almost maniacal determination in her quest to look after her sisters. She was given strong support from Louis Hayward as the sinister, calculating Albert and Elsa Lancaster as the far more dangerous sister, Emily – “the sea has got to be cleaned”. The New York Times thought Ida deserved the most praise for her “thin ribbon of intensity that makes the film hair raising”.’

Thursday [7 to 10]

(1015) You can always tell when I run out of news … I try to write poems:

“Met my lover on the Belgrano, unencumbered by the past, middle class, we spent our time toolmaking and torpedoing sausages and word salad … “

… and generally posting silly things. Morning all. (1028)

(1104) Posts up at UHC and Jstack, both on the same topic. That film posted soon. (1105)

 

10. Why do I feel a CS&N song coming on?

9. TDS today


8. These racists all need rounding up and buying a pint


7. Well I’d certainly give them a try

Thursday [4 to 6]

(0724) Break for brek, chaps and chapesses. (0818)

 

6. Quick look through the sources before brek

… and the most substantial was a couple of hours ago when reports started coming through that the eye of the hurricane collapsed as it hit land or soon after … down to Category 2 storm. What then of fearmongering?

Also, there just happened to be mass Christian praying the day before that that would be exactly the outcome … naturally, non-Christians will not credit this in the least. Again … 🍿🍿🍿.

Also just through … Dan Wooton:

Nigel Farage won’t talk about it now, but if Robert Jenrick wins the Conservative leadership, as I believe he should and will, the door is open to a Reform/Tory deal. Ultra wet James Cleverly and Michael Gove stooge Kemi Badenoch would have marched Thatcher’s party to oblivion.

One view, yes. I also saw someone write that Reform will not get more than 25%, Tories no more than around 22%. That’s as maybe … traditionally, it’s been in coalition in many countries … trouble with the Woke v antiWoke is that the gap is now unbridgable. I for one want nothing to do with brainwashed, lying Woke karens until they wake up.

5. Meanwhile, back in Blighty


4. New factor … bible belt US South

There’s much online talk about Christians, esp. evangelicals not supporting Trump over his abortion stance, not helped by Melania’s stance in her book. As you know, I’m a Christian apologist (meaning pundit in the trad sense, not “apologising for” in any way) but my background and adult life has been political, not religious.

This was on Gab just now:

In the traditional (rural White) South, there are a proliferation of Protestant sects, to be sure. Just about every Southern town with more than 100 people has the First Baptist Church and at least one other Baptist church that came about because of a church split about something, sometimes something that would appear trivial to an outsider. My own home church has been around since the 1840s and splits have produced at least two other churches that I know of.

But do you know what? They aren’t fighting each other. They aren’t badmouthing each other. Friends go to different churches and it doesn’t make them any less of friends. When there is a community need, they work together. They have church league softball. They joke with each other. (What’s the difference between a Baptist and an Episcopalian? The Baptists don’t acknowledge each other in the liquor store, etc.) They have their youth groups get together for different events. 

There are distinctives in theology and modes of worship, but the love of Christ Jesus is for all. This does not address megachurches and that sort of thing, which appear from the outside to be much more commercial, and to be sure, not a Southern thing at all.

And lastly, blacks and Whites rarely worship together in the traditional South , and their tastes in worship are almost entirely different. Being a black preacher is a shuck to get female attention in the colored world. though I am sure that there are some good ones, too. And I will give the older black ladies some credit for wearing nice hats on Sundays.

Possibly the most divisive undermining of the bible belt south and in fact Christendom worldwide is Wokery, product of Them, trying to undermine and destroy faith by confusing it with extra-scriptural guff of the current day … the current antiPope is the worst, with Welby an example of protestant apostates.

Which does not resolve the political fallout from full term abortion … in fact post-heartbeat. I’m wondering though how much of the old bible belt still exists as truly Christian … how much has already been white-anted by Wokery? That is … it’s already either voting Heels Up or not voting at all?

Thursday [1 to 3]

(0536) Dark out there. There’s a reason for putting DAD at 2 … it places him higher on the page than my rambling opener, so he is not swamped by pictures and text. Also, there’s no obligation for anyone to comment and they are at NOWP but none at HQ since yesterday morning does have me watching. 🍿🍿🍿… which is also my attitude to Milton and Wyoming just now.

 

3. Election notes

Why should it need hotshot lawyers to ensure veracity and no funny biz? What of the official regulators?


And what of this situation?

And what of SCOTUS and the state courts? Well, there was supposed footage of Roberts at Ep Isle, was there not? Obummer.

2. DAD at 838

a) Gates of Vienna is 20 years old – let’s hope that it is not shut-down as was NO. A reflection by the Baron.

b) In Cavaillon, several police cars were set on fire and the police station was evacuated last night. This incident comes after several “Place Nette” operations aimed at combating local drug trafficking.

c) The Columbia Broadcasting Systems CBS, one of the U.S. ‘Big Three’ networks, appears to have edited an interview with Democratic presidential candidate and current VP Kamala Harris …

1. Of Wyoming, Florida and rampant lying

One of Them’s tasks is to shut down the supply of data to alt-pundits or to give us another name … the real reporters and journos, amateurs. The MSM is highly regulated by owners and donors to give a universally Woke, lying “reality” and yet they also have access by flying reporters to hot spots … where they then lie from.

The amateur uses today’s tech but needs an end place, often to diffused sites, displaced from the epicentre where most people go … primarily they go to the box or radio but more now do go to soc-med … the controlled narrative sites, often asking for money. Trouble for soc-med is trolling and false flags, e.g. false images, false prophets. For example, in Wed 18, there’s an image of fire in a different place to Wyoming. So where is the mass of Wyoming footage and commentary?

Why such mixed messaging? Deregulated amateurs? And does my writing this very point not give fuel to the censors, to “regulate for veracity”? Except that those censorship appointees are the last ones who should ever be doing it … often it’s some freshfaced girl out of college, the censor, already well under the control of the Machine. Plus the “elderly”, source of true radicalism, are being DNR-ed.


As you might be able to see, it is stamped Tampa, St P, Jenny Medina, no timestamp. That’s all we know. That’s my still of the footage by the way … in that footage, that ring is not a gap in the cloud, it rises lower left and goes upwards to where you see it.

All right, this one:


Yes, his timestamp was there … I can tell you it was on X last evening … but that was before it hit … plus do you trust what I wrote? We’re relying, are we not, on a chain of passed on messages … send us three and fourpence, we’re going to a dance (some will understand that reference).


3.7 million views … and who is he? He cropped up as some renegade determined to ride it out … and here:


He was interviewed, someone wrote and said he’d had trouble with the boat banging against the wall. Banging? In that bay? With that twister footage going across Tampa (not saved here)? Maybe he’s away from the epicentre.

And what of Wyoming? Nothing … zilch … nada.
