“I haven’t dropped any filum links in a while. I dropped The Saint archives a few days ago here at HQ though. Is that what you mean? Here it is again anyhoos:
Got ian Ogilvy mixed in with Roger Moore episodes in that link. Seems to have changed since my original bookmarking. Ho hum. Must be down to the glitch from a few weeks ago.”
JH: Use the link above, viewers, the pic below is not embedded, it’s just there to look pretty.
If you’re prepared to take an interest, to ignore anything pundits close to “the leadership” say, instead sitting through the Mercouris rambling, then read the Axios, something Alex said most certainly hits the nail on the head imho.
Now look, before we even get to that, if you either aren’t aware or are in denial about 2014, then we’re not on the same page and may as well stop, in which case God or military might will prevail or as is more than likely … satanic permawar ensues.
The Donbass in SE Ukraine is resource rich, plus it’s mainly Russian speaking. There are loony Hamas Hezbollah type groups Kiev and west of, the type behind the Uke holocaust in the past. In 2014, at Maidan, they were firing at both sides … yes, that’s right. Why? To get conflagration going. Plus there was a coup d’etat and the pro-Russian was replaced by the Uke type crim.
From that moment, there were atrocities such as the Odessa burning of the Trades Hall building with protesters locked inside (their J6) … footage suggests the Azov type went through and slaughtered first, inc. all staff. These are not in the least pro-Uke people, they are myrmidons for the PTB that currently destabilise Europe … NATO, CIA, EU, UN. No one is saying Putin is an angel in the least … ex-KGB and a nasty one too … plus there are many things in Russia to discuss.
In this matter though, the Donbass regional govts appealed to Putin as civilians, apartment buildings, plus military targets were being shelled daily in that Hamas/Hezbollah way. For how long?
First Crimea, which had always been Russian anyway, rejoined Russia as an autonomous republic, then Putin started the SMO. Meanwhile, western Ukraine was a sewer of child trafficking, biolabs, deals with leading Demrats for billions in US and UK taxpayer money … same sort of thing whatever they touch.
Again, Putin is far from being an angel and I’ve been personally on the end of it. Yet facts are facts.
Now … Alexander. He points out that the various western “leaders”, at odds with each other, have these “summits” where they sort out among themselves what’s going to be put to Putin, it’s rigid, it stems from utter hatred for Putin and by extension … Russians. They thrash out a communique at these champagne jollies and present it to Putin.
He says no.
Western “leaders” then go apoplectic, just as Demrats are now over TDS. They “allocate” billions more of your money and weaponry … net effect to debilitate western capability … at the same time, millions of fighting age savages are flown and boated in, bussed in. Just what do you think might happen?
At no point was Russia brought into the discussions, which it now will be with Trump and Musk. It never was since Minsk … just constant shelling, plus ultimatums to Putin. Diplomacy? Or ineffective sanctions? I lived through the Russian crisis of 1997/8 and it sailed through, mainly as it’s self-sufficient, plus it sits on oil and gas. Is it ever likely to say to a perma-hostile western psycho “leadership” … oh fine, just come into our country and do whatever you want, take whatever you like? As the Ukraine has done?
China, Russia, USA are the three major blocs, each defends its borders and does naughty things in outlying regions … Nicaragua, USSR buffer zones, Tibet and Mongolia, Taiwan. Russia and China have an agreement over Siberia. I mean … that’s just as it is.
Why conflagration, slaughter, abject misery in the Ukraine? Psycho groups, NATO, CIA … as simple as that. Massively big money for the PTB.
Nothing to do with self-determination, a pipe dream. Russian red lines? Neutral Ukraine, never to be in NATO, foreigners out, Russian speaking regions as they are. That’s it.
UK? Royal Navy, fishing waters, strong military. Own energy (inc. North Sea). Trade. That’s it. At least, that’s the national interest … what we do have though is the diametric opposite, brought on by traitors in Westminster and Whitehall.
US? Simple … DC and psycho demonrat in each state … no way to MAGA till now.

Fatal stabbing in Guz (Plymouth) arrest in London E15. County lines? It’s a 5 hour drive on a good day. The victim sounds white.
All those things that the White House said were misinformation in the aftermath of Hurricane Helene? They were true. FEMA employs were told not to attempt to assist any households with Trump signs.
JH: Imagine this were a quiz question … who is it?
“Sensitive subject. I have concerns about the proximity of this chappie to the POTUS elect.”
JH: My guess is Pompeo … now to head over and check … ah, I was wrong … yes, agree completely that those the Donald allows around him are wrong ‘uns.
6. Leggie … an excerpt
Well, it’s been a busy time. The Halloween Anthology is finally available but it wasn’t easy. I’d set the deadline for submissions at September 30th. On the basis that there’d normally be ten or fewer stories in the book and it can all be wrapped up and published in a couple of weeks.
“Perhaps the bot picked up on the legal deposition (which is absolutely true and as written at the time) that I used in my story? It is available elsewhere, but it dates from the 1650’s, I think it is safe to assume that it is out of copyright. If that was the issue, you have my apologies.
I notice that my name is not in the authors list on Amazon, so i also hope you didn’t have to drop the story to get the book published. – Ian Caswell”

… blogrolls, one of the middling columns near the foot.
He drops into the usual hate Boomer, wonderful Gen X thing, which is an affliction of his if he includes all in that. Even his own graph he found on X most like … for a start, was very Gen X … but even that showed a split which, as I wrote myself yesterday here, showed far more Gen X went Trump, comparatively, than and other demographic by generation.
However, Sundance had shown that Gen Zee was by no means as lost as the Millennials had been and that shows some sanity returning … some. The big disappointment were the oldies according to that. Shirley, with shocking treatment of the elderly scross the west … but no … once set in the ways … set in the ways.
The Millennials are also a tragedy … both Boomers and them indeed brainwashed … us by the Woodstock, Carnaby Street time, psychedelia etc. But again … percentages, people, percentages count. Plus another factor with oldies … distrust of the Donald himself. I’m watching to see whom he appoints … a very Gen X way of thinking … also distrustful Boomers.
The stats, to my mind, are no more conclusive than that and like Starmer within 100 days, we’ll know soon enough. It has elements of Tories v Labour, with no third option able to really get a foot in.

Saturday. On November 9, 1989, the German Democratic Republic (GDR) opened the Berlin Wall, allowing East and West Germans to reunite.
a) “We are really afraid that this will put the school at risk.” A stifling climate has descended on the Condorcet high school in Limay (Yvelines) since a class on the representation of hell in poetry, from the Middle Ages to the 18th century. (…) A teacher was threatened and wrongly accused of blasphemy. (…)
b) The ‘Law’ in France is just as stupid as in the UK.
A farmer from Saint-Gervais-sur-Mare was sentenced this Tuesday morning to a suspended fine of €1,000 for acts of violence with a weapon. Last May, tired of having been the victim of another theft …
c) When I have a BBQ I buy my meat from a Butcher – but not these men. On the night of Monday 4 to Tuesday 5 November 2024, these three men, aged 21, 32 and 41, were arrested while drunk after stealing, slitting the throat and then cutting into pieces a goat …
d) If the West condemns sharia in Iran, why not condemn it in Europe?
e) Some good news; for a change. Notre-Dame de Paris bells ring out for first time since the 2019 fire.
