(1700 on the dot) Evening all, hope you’re well or coping. (1724) Back after dinner. (1856) Ran out of steam, finishing up for the night, laze and gem.

Giving this a try, there were dozens of films … something about each though offputting. If we’re older now, you and I, shirley then we should love the old films, as today’s are gauche, overly graphic and Woke?

Time to embark on a general rant now, just skip over it, never mind.

Thing is, I remember my stepfather was a mad keen member of his football club, never missed a game … then he just gave it away … suddenly … stopped his membership. Wasn’t health at that point … he just lost interest. I was much younger, natch, and was still mad keen.

But eventually I just lost interest … I could have put it down to the commercialisation of sport, to the prima donna player aspect, to this incident or that … thing was, I just lost interest … I’d look at the terrace and think nah … not now. Ditto with concerts for bands both major and unsung. Just lost interest.

Cruises, travel, flying, even hiking … nah. Romance? Nooky? Shirley that was still exciting? Could be if there was something special involved, someone special, my spouse … but dating? No thanks. Music? Songs which we all adored, esp. by, say, the Beatles, other groups … nah. Slade, The Specials, The Clash, even The Stranglers, anything Live-Aid like, Springsteen, even Steppenwolf … just lost interest. Classical? Some, not all.

Some songs still stand up for sure, some films … absolutely … we’ve seen a few of them at the site here. Go out dancing? Go out for someone else’s commercial cooking? No thanks. Someone special cooking at home … different other matter … of course that would be great. Or me cooking for her more like … better after-dinner result. Going out for a romantic walk, a carnival? Well of course, except in 2024, when there’s the ever-presnt knifing or rape danger … different world now.

Blog and X/Gab friends? Excellent, would not swap this for the world … not the slightest dipping of energy since 2001, not even today when a bit out of it. No, this is rewarding.

It’s just other things people are doing out there which pale … they can keep them now. Affectation? Maybe.

…..

Late note: the ticker just showed a new upload by a gal called Stacey, asking, “Flute in a rock song?” Quick thinking on my part … could she, an American, mean Tull? Yep, sure could … Thick as a Brick.

Now, as a purist, I want to hear both sides one and two in full and can’t imagine a curtailed, commercial hack-job organised for vloggers. But it’s her … should be interesting what she thinks. Any good, I’ll run it here sometime.

…..

(1643) Live version of Tull, so shorter version allowed … awful titles over the performance, p,us she insisted on long advert two minutes in. Apart from that, she said Ian Anderson made it … I say her reaction made it … loves her music, not just a vlog to make money … maybe it is. Tull as good as ever.

HERE TIS

Plus Toodles wrote, the icing on the cake. Was wondering if my sledding was to blame for the malaise. Nah … something I ate later, plus the cold. The sledding was a blast. Best to all our patrons and other readers.

9. Poor poor pitiful me Phillips

Just a word about Lisa … she’s a regular, concerned with what we are … just a bit oblique in some conclusion drawing … but still luvv her, the pretty grandmother she is.

8. The Palisades inferno

What a sad place California is, in the grip of these Wokeleft mongrels. I can quite believe JVL above … they want to do something vindictive against the red counties? Do something like this, lyst as in NC with water. Sorry but the Woke left establishment are diabolical.

7. While there’s certainly humour in this, cobbers

… there’s also something unhumorous … one thing … and it was in an item on Gab about there being no such thing as Australia, no such thing as Australians. Pretty sure it was satire … site was Flat Earth Society … it went on and on, in the vein of something Miles Mathis would write … and it was illustrating how someone not on the ground but connecting snippets from afar … something we ourselves have to do, can get it wrong … hell, even Sherlock Holmes got it wrong and had to start over … but …

… and it’s a big butt again …

… the aim of this trolling is to negate in people’s minds the Miles Mathises … summary negation … turning away … which suits Them fine … and therein lies the ultimate purpose of the trolling.

While I can negate the negator here, simply as I’ve driven up the east coast, west coast and up the guts and it looked pretty real to me … it’s still asking you to believe, on my say-so, that I was ever in Oz … eventually, it comes down to those we trust and why. Plus trust on which points?

And how can we know if IYE and DAD are in France, that Steve was a para, that Andy is a bowls champ? At some point, laze and gem, faith rears its beautiful head, doesn’t it? Do we have faith in anything?

 

(0804) Higham’s not 100% … circulation, lurgy threatening but not dire as yet … there are certain moves I must make and am making, but it’s going to slow the blogging to walking in wellies in a winter bog. So, tavern’s open but the LL is absent except for sporadic appearances … for awhile. (0931)

 

6. Three letter sites today (see blogrolls for links)

5. IYE at 933

4. Steve at 932

Four: Laken Riley Act, Francis Names Far-Left, Anti-Trump Activist as Cardinal, much more….

Three: Gulf of America, Greenland, Hamas, much more….

Two: Uke sit-rep, Macron, more….

One: Fauci, Pharma, Migrts, much more…

3. Someone’s messing with this site’s composing box

This could be one or more of a few things involving updates and as any techie can tell you, one has to test each out, one by one, to pin down which it is.

I’m thinking this is not MMUTR, who has made some hefty changes himself up there but rather something WP are doing as they and I currently have a standoff over a partial update … to give you an idea, look left here at what it’s doing to composing.

The “blocks” currently not being worked upon … they fade to almost invisible grey, near impossible for someone with my eyesight these days to make out, so one relies on memory to continue.

I cannot believe any scriptkiddy could ever believe that this is a satisfactory compose mode … it’s actually more visible in html mode.

Thus, laze and gem (a shorter way to write chaps and chapesses), I’m going to have to do some testing today during bouts of good health.

For now though … back to bed and I need to reiterate that there are going to be bouts of Higham asleep through the day … please cut him some slack just today. Also, if I bggr something up along the way, it’s not terminal but it is temporarily inconvenient for readers … in that situation, I’ll drop a note at UHC.

2. Opening with Andy today

a. The new plandemic they’re trying on:

b. “Apparently cash transactions in 2020 were 35% down from the previous year.”

JH: apparently reversed now … read it over there.

c. JH: The supposed Labour TikTok ad with animals doing bad things, raping chn or whatever, as reported by GBN and my immediate thoughts, having skimmed a minute of it, were:

(i) Someone’s hacked Labour or

(ii) Someone young was given the job of being relevant to the young and ruined it or

(iii) This is actually part of the move, in the higher echelons, e.g. Davos, to anger or bring to insurrection or civil war … however their twisted thinking goes … so that the fighting age males from o/s can then be equipped and activated to slaughter us.

Whatever.

(0057) Post midnight can be good if at the end of a reasonable first sleep. (0225)

 

Rationale

a. Obstacles to learning

(i) Things happen for a reason … watch who’s mainly targetted and why, for example real Christianity, Jews as humans (not Zism), girls in the sense of ruining them early, humanity as a whole in the sense of brainwashed and compliant spreaders of cmn’ism, irrationality brought on by pushed, normalised perversions of the optimum way for humans to happily live, a few other things.

(ii) Watch the perps … who is behind them and their timeworn methodology … that which works, that which they don’t bother with in their psy-ops … why they even do this … why they hate the factors/people in (i) in the first place, plus who exactly is doing the hating, who is just embracing and/or complying … why each is doing what they are (e.g. Skinner, Milgram).

(iii) Watch them projecting onto any perceived opposition to their programme/plan precisely the same valid criticism of them themselves, their own malfeasance … watch who is first targetted, e.g. farmers, intellectuals, teachers, sigmas (useful word in this context), the perceptive questioner.

(iv) Watch the overall breaking down of people in the society by the poisoning of skies, water, food chain such that the spirituality of that people, their mental health, physical, social (inc. increasingly isolated, non-communicating) plus extant danger through stasi/marauders/treacherous neighbours/colleagues … is such that they can no longer combine in order to reverse the process … the aim being to confuse, dismay, send those people of the land out of their brains

(v) Watch the sheer overload of information, itself a psy-op, e.g. excessive online reading (precisely what each of us is doing here now … for what purpose?) … watch the inducing of despair in those who’ve lost their moorings to what once did indeed work and which produced civil society (as in civility, charity etc.) but after a few generations, suppressed learning has produced a new ignorati, assured that they are learned, resistant to any further learning.

(vi) Understand that learning comes piecemeal, in snippets, but over time, it all does form a whole, inc. the seemingly contradictory.

b. Modes of learning, in order to be able to share

(i) Every human has biases, hobbyhorses, prejudices … the perfectly rational mind does not exist … every mind has developed as a result of disparate experiences and these need harnessing, not turning into reasons to irrevocably split … thereby stopping any fwd momentum. I look, just now, at the Farage/Tommy split, which threatens to derail Reform … great for the PTB in a flawed political system, not so great for us.

(ii) There are outposts of learning, havens, dotted around the world, enhanced by the net in one way … but the net also affording an easier way of snuffing them out one by one. At best, these havens will reach only a certain percentage of people, hamstrung from the get-go by “a” above, plus “b”(i).

(iii) Havens which are best for learning are the succinct, organised, with good navigation and an attitude of “here’s as much as we can find and overload you with at the current moment, wait an hour and there might be more” … with an attitude of acting as a resource, not as a pusher of ideological hobbyhorse or line.

(iv) The very nature of such havens requires an admin who can put out as much as possible for as long as possible. Limiting factors in that admin include … to whom is he/she in thrall (whom is he/she working for behind the scenes), level of genuine transparency, spiritual, mental and physical health, in the sense of still being moored to civil/civic values and to thinking that abounded during the society’s former functioning period (usually an older person with more time on the hands and sufficient money) … and energy level as a diminishing resource over time.

(v) That admin must see his/her limitations (health, wealth, hobbyhorses) and be upfront about them, learning to conserve resources to prolong effectiveness … in other words to offer that service for alap. Aim is for the service to continue to function whenever he/she is in “downtime”, which gradually becomes more down than up until he/she burns out … or else he/she never quite does burn out (e.g. like DJT due to a pretty experienced supporting bunch of unherdables who see a reason to combine for the moment).

c. The way worthwhile info appears in the real world

(i) As seemingly disparate, uncoordinated snippets, bites … that’s how it comes in, appears. Beware info that’s highly organised because who organised it, why, cui bono?

(ii) There will necessarily be gaps, large or small, which force the observer to join dots, bearing in mind all the above foregoing limitations. In short, it’s messy and requires archiving. The dot joining becomes “most likely scenario”, also bearing in mind the “fundamental interconnectedness of all things”, plus the “Mandy Rice Davies” factor (look that one up).

d. Some other bits and bobs to finish up this post

Reader pete has listed some at 932:

(i) The Psychology of Atrocities … the dangers of demonising active bystanders as ‘conspiracy theorists’.

(ii) The creator of these injectable nanobots co-operated with Phizer and he said in 2013, that he hoped, that ‘anywhere between a year and five years from now, we’ll be able to use this in humans and finally witness the emergence of a nanobot society’…

(iii) So much else to read right now but about to crash again.

The implications of everything mentioned in the above post (before I try for my second sleep) are of course awesome, daunting … there has to be good reason to continue, if only obstinacy … but more likely there’s a humanitarian element to that obstinacy, which there singularly is not in, say, the Granny Harmer or Obama/Biden/Harris.
