Amanda Knox revisited
The two topics at this blog (meaning all versions of it, stretching back) which incited, attracted, caused, the greatest amount of comment, positive, negative, trolling, also involving non-regulars out there involved in the cases … were the “pizza” issue which I’ll revisit if anything new comes up but it’s developed its own legs now, thank goodness, and new cases are appearing all the time, i.e. are being exposed.
A few months back was the reconviction of Knox, twice convicted of the murder of Meredith Kercher on November 1st, 2007, once cleared and once just let off and scarpered back to West Seattle. This though was not the murder but the slander, accusing an innocent man of the murder.
It’s one case I’ve no intention of arguing over with anyone who has not read almost all trial notes from the first two convictions, translated from the Italian. There’s good reason for this.
And the only site still in existence on the issue which has a team of Italian lawyers, plus Italian-English translators, is TJMK. If they take a certain line, these Americans, British, other English speaking, plus Italian, plus of course Meredith’s own family … I had a emailed with her father at one time … if they take a certain view, it’s a result of reading the entirety of the evidence over the years.
The awkward thing for me here is that our politics at Unherdables are antiWoke but many of these people involved in the case, apolitically … well it’s all been pro-victim Meredith, apolitical … once they see our polit-posts here, then they feel bound to show their own left-liberalism … society is now so polarised … and further dealings become muddied, impossible. Pity.
And the ones most for Knox have been the ruling class, Tories, GOP, the official right, plus a few of the dissident right, my own people so to speak.
What’s happened?
In June this year, Knox was reconvicted by a court of appeal in Florence on the slander charge, not the murder, after so, so long and as this is all about legal niceties which you’ll find at that link, I’m going to avoid as many of these as possible in this post and just give a summary.
It was a procedural matter, legalistic, after the ECHR … yes, that very same lot, whom Italy considers erred … got involved, making errors … so Italy reopened it, Knox actually flew to Florence and did a few strange things which this screenshot touches on:
Some of you might recall that she accused her boss at the time in a cafe, a black man, of the murder, by means of “flashbacks” where she dreamed, “reimagined”, where she answered on the stand that “my best truth is” and as part of that, she said she met Lumumba (the boss) in a carpark, at the house and part of that was that she and witnesses heard Meredith’s screams. Yet she also claimed she was never at the house during the murder.
The other side … the US legal machine, plus some unherdables themselves … insist that no DNA of Knox was found in the murder room, though evidence at trial suggested that MK was dragged in there after the initial deed. There was Knox DNA in other parts of the house, also Sollecito’s on MK’s bra strap, plus all sorts of anomalies, inc. the taking of DNA, which actually cuts both ways.
This is the point where I become blunt … I’ll not discuss it with anyone who has not read both translated trial reports … coz we have.
Long story short … she was reconvicted on the slander in June this year, for which she’s already served some time in an Italian jail, and it seems has until October 8th to appeal … 19 days ago. I’m still waiting to read or hear about that.
Next?
Well that depends on Italy … they certainly want her inside but the big issue there is whether she’ll blab. My feeling, looking at the totality of the thing, is that the reason the Italian authorities want her nailed is her wild accusations against them. That’s the first part.
The second is that this whole murder greatly interested Berlusconi and the mafia and the one who had to be protected was Sollecito, whose father, whose family, is highly placed … Old Italy. Also, this was at Hallowe’en, coming up now in 2024.
And I’m just going to throw this in here:
The black youth actually convicted? Clearly part of it but 1st Chambers, Supreme Court, insisted, in its summing up, that there was more than one murderer involved … and as we know, Lumumba was not involved. Which leaves two accomplices.
Some fellow unherdables have gone the path of Knox being just an accomplice … i.e. not actually slashing MK’s throat. As this bit was not beyond doubt, my personal view was that she was as high as a kite, a real bad ‘un but also gutless … it seems to me it was the males … just my view. She was certainly involved though, in a similar way to Clara Schwartz being the motivator behind her father’s killing by the boy, though not the one who did the deed per se. Just my view.
Totally innocent of it? Not a chance on the sworn testimony at the trials. Can they get her for that again? Lock her away for the 28 years or so? 🍿🍿🍿
And the other, about which there’s a tale. The tale is why I only ever post this audio only version when there are other orchestral versions available. Thing is … there are not. There are two others on youtube … one from Cologne, a very good version … embedding disabled !!! *&£#£&* !!!
The other is not very good, too slow, Spanish I think … so naturally, YT allow it embedded. Thus, this is the sole version with orchestra below, which I prefer to the piano versions, however good.

9. That Beyonce “concert”
Pause again for one moment … the DNC did not do this to MAGA, to ordinary voters, even to the undecided … it tricked its own supporters. I saw more … $12.3m to run that “rally”, MSNBC and the other DNC oulets duly ran it as a wow thing … Beyonce concert!
Of that reported figure, $10m supposedly went direct to Beyonce for that 2 point something minutes speech. Uh huh.
Moving on … my very first post ever (after the introduction), Jul 23, 2006, was “Beyonce is an idiot”. It did not dtay up long, that post. It’s not Beyonce referred to here:

5. A cyber curiosity
The strip of four thumbnails below are the last four at this moment in my pics library on the ipad:
Now look at the next strip of thumbnails, which is the compressor machine which reduces from around 11mb to around 40kb size:
Ignore the two with Sadiq and the clock, as they’re in both lists but do you see something missing from the compressor version of my library? I’ve just scrolled through the compressor pics page and that flag ain’t there. Curious. I’ll just check sizes … one moment, please.
All right, I’ve just checked … the missing pic was 130kb, hardly beyond the compressor’s capacity. Yet that single photo of that flag was missing, nor was it anywhere in the library.
Conclusion?

3. The risk with the new social media
Serious topic … we need to examine what we’re doing … if it turns out to be wrong … adjust our positions.
Hold the horses one moment, hang on … the Space Centre I think it was has issued a statement saying she’s not one of theirs. Do they mean the one at the rally, or the one to the right of that? So let’s leave names out of it for now … Bernie, you’ll recall, mentioned a name and got 2.5 years or whatever it was … arrested and harassed at least … need to be careful with identifying and doxxing.
Which does not excuse the pale green blue tee shirt youngster, white, bawling at a toddler in a pram.
Let’s step back even further. There was a Woke counter demonstration … that lot behind in the shot, marching our left to our right. The toddler in the pushchair, plus dad and mom, plus the older child in mom’s arms … they were clearly demonstrating against the demonstrators or were at their own rally.
What we do know (footage on soc-med) is that blue-green tee shirt suddenly took it upon herself to start shouting at the toddler in the pushchair, until stopped by the black girl as you can see starting. That’s what manipulation does … plays on simple minds with grievances, panders to their “seethingness”, creates a dangerous, threatening loony army. But even that black girl knew the other had gone overboard bawling at a baby … plus the girl’s not a mother I’d say. Dangerous demographic in itself.
Now the two parents … why were those two chn so close to “the enemy” who were in inflamed indignation? And how did that confrontation resolve the issue of Gates, solar panels covering farmland or the hordes of “guests”?

Nuff said?

”Unherdable cats” is not just some random expression
There’s a clip on X or a youtube short, can’t remember … such “can’t remember” due to a combination of age, health … itself due to a recurrence of heart and gastric … and who knows what part chemtrail poisoning and food additives play … … … where was I?
Point is, there are so many factors in play to wreck our pleasant western life that we might even be in agreement on most … but not on all … and it just takes one of those we disagree over to end a relationship … my thinking is what chance anyone can get along with anyone at all? For any length of time? Unless ordained by God of course.
That clip I opened this post mentioning … it was cats in a room and to state the bleedin’ obvious … cats and dogs are quite different in manner, though they both need feeding and in the dogs’ case … walkies. The cats are quite self-centred … conditional love when they’re ready only, otherwise claws out … dogs are far more faithful, even unto the death of dog or master.
A pundit at a site like this cannot possibly meet everyone’s key criteria, nor can any site do that. My mate up the road (henceforth MMUTR) said it’s better to stay single issue, maybe two or three and so pundit and visitor are at one because they do not pursue a plethora of issues.
Nourishing Unherdables, an umbrella term, explores a whole range of issues, dunnit, and in so doing, does not satisfy those intolerant of issues other than their own hobbyhorses … whilst at the same time, it only takes the slightest whiff of anathema ideas and positions to him/her and that person will take bat and ball and go. It happened at Orphans around 2013 when I quoted Ephesians 6:12 … that did it and one of the founders took bat and ball and a whole swathe of left libertarians with him.
I followed the fortunes of the libertarian party and they fell apart as well … one was a right libertarian, into the rule of law, another a do as thou wilt devil’s bathroom type … I sat back, watching, thinking how the hell can anyone anti-statist and pro-ordinary people possibly get along for long enough to achieve anything whatever?
The so-called left don’t have that problem … at least they do in the Monty Python’s Life of Brian sense of the People’s Front of Judaea versus the Judaean People’s Front (splitters!) and note how I spelt that word Judaea … or is it Judea … and do we refer to God or G-d? You do see how all this goes, yes?
Anne Marie Waters … or is it Ann-Marie Waters … had a nice dissident-right thing going from Lewisham, Cleverly’s old stomping ground, not far from my own home … but it fell apart over her insistence on rainbow politics, a movement killer if ever there was one … I notice Aldi have included it in their logo now so that’s me gone, also Tesco. And my bank insists that every single customer must be black, except black man/white lover … quite acceptable to the PTB, that is … plus my own stance on that has lost me friends … Julia’s and my view is “get a room, would you, don’t inflict your sexuality on us in public” nor your pit bully dogs either.
Now, IYE was strongly anti-paedo and symbolism-aware … or is that anti-pedo … some will say we want no Americanisms here, thanks, take their bat and ball and go, which will offend our American bros and sisses … and don’t call them bros … they’re brothers, all right? And don’t say Ok … use the Queen’s English, will ye?
Phew!
Sometimes, it’s just that we don’t emphasise … or is that emphasize … a particular position often enough or strongly enough for a reader … and that’s before even getting onto Jews/Arabs and the words seemingly getting DAD into hot water two days ago … and what about the Chinese by the way?
What does Jimbo the Admin do? Tries to cover all bases, yes (oh wot an American giveaway there … and stop that pseudo-vernacular, would you … and stop splitting words with dashes) … ? … !
Phew again.
What does the admonition “be reasonable” mean? Does it mean compromising our dearly held belief? Whenever I drop into Gab with its strong Christian overtones (Catholic versus Protestant versus Evangelical left versus Orthodox), there is much there identifying the one single cause of unrest as the secret and not so secret Ashkenazi Zionism. Does that mean all Jews are evil muvvers? What of the other Semitic peoples in that region in the M-E?
The Nethan yahoos most certainly want to expand their “buffer zone” to include Gaza, Jordan, Iraq … the Russians, at a minimum , want their Donbass and buffers below, the Chinese want Taiwan and Tibet, Mongolia, even Siberia, France wants La Manche for fishing, Britain is giving everything once theirs away for free and importing the third world … oops, what did I just say?
What chance any of us can get along … at all … for any length of time … before something or other anathema offends us?
All right … what’s the Rogan approach? Big umbrella, innit? He’ll hear someone out, is sure to put some curly questions to satisfy the other side … which it won’t, nothing ever satisfies ideologues with single purpose communism as their goal, top down … and yet he does change the media paradigm somewhat … both he and Tucker have heavy-hitters as guests … why then does Rogan reach more?
I had to draw a line in the sand here at nourishing unherdables and a good line seemed to be Wokery, with its exponents the Wokerati and karens. But it still strains at the seams, it still never quite satisfies, plus the head honcho, pretending he’s not, still has strong views on many things.
Look what happened to the Z Man … he was dominating like Last Refuge for awhile … then he expressed things too RINO for the dissident, disgruntled majority, of which I’m one. Where is he now? Milo? Where’s Milo now? Alex Jones? Breitbart? Breitbart had Raheem, do you remember? Twas good in those days.
This could go on forever, so I’ll stop, as the DAD drop might be arriving soon.
