“The Cambridge Medieval History, published in 1911, explains the inevitable social degeneracy that results from mass (imm).

I come back to a previous point that there are several immutable realities, e.g. firms always look for cheap labour, e.g. Switzerland, clashes of cultures form ghettoes, those are not nice if not policed by the nation, foreign cultures will always lobby or undermine to achieve prominence, foreign conflicts are thereby imported … govt must not become bloated, the executive must try to follow the military adage … fair, firm and friendly, in almost equal proportion.

1. Some sort of greeting to readers for 2025

Must say I admire how reader/patrons, particularly Steve on NYE, can make a silk purse out of a sow’s ear … to explain, I awoke in the wee hours with the required first sleep done, went through X, went through Gab, found little worth troubling you with, yet Steve manages a full quota as always … kudos.

The message I’m getting is that we’re going to have to stay vigilant, particularly noting the turn of phrase of some pundits, never taking at face value … the person posting the item on soc-med needs exploring.

An example … Stew Peters bitterly complaining of Elon’s shady tactics by posting that Peters was ending his subscriber fees. Peters says there’s no way he did that and yes, it’s quite iffy about Elon or his little myrmidons doing that. However, it seems Peters did go on an anti-imm rant in no uncertain terms. It’s a bit like Bernie Spofforth over here …it was the language employed, the high dudgeon, which did for them.

And yes, I do admire forthright people not beating about the bush, as I once didn’t beat about the bush … but I’ve lost the blog four times and felt it needed me to be a tad more careful this time, more circumspect … does not alter the thoughts, expressed more carefully now. And it’s not just me you see … there are those of you who’ve invested time and effort bringing the goods here … what, am I going to threaten that, losing all as in July 2024? Almost, except for IYE’s archives.

Fireworks, as in the sparkly bangy type outside … yes, we had them … did you where you live?
