DAD and Putin’s message to Trump … can only wait and see.
Steve’s Paul Thorpe interview … yes, these things do bring people together, have a pint.
22. Toodles just now

“The Secret Service has a zero-fail mission, and there is absolutely no room for errors. The USSS operates in extreme weather environments all the time — but it’s different when you have hundreds of thousands — if not more — people converging near a protected at an outdoor event after two assassination attempts and several long-term known threats.”

1. Prison Treatment & Human Rights Violations: This case challenges the treatment of Tommy while in prison, including violations of his human rights and his classification as a Category C inmate. Despite being a civil prisoner, he is placed in isolation under this classification. 2. The ‘Terrorism’ Case: This involves Tommy being charged under a Schedule 7 offense of the Terrorism Act 2000. The charge stems from his refusal to grant police access to his phone, which contains privileged information—such as details of survivors of child abuse, sensitive information on politicians, and confidential legal documentation.
(1104) Cunning plan is a bit of politics, then some baroque if I can find some good renditions. (1214)

11. Always thought it was a big ask
… and Donny seems to have thought so too, word in his shell-like by Nole … let’s face it … a Brahmin class Indian, young, impetuous, mouths off, a techie too … hmmmm … big ask.
10. The fuel project is a vlog eries by the Young Scot Christian
… as I call him … not running the actual vlog as it’s too long but it can be easily found.
The utter ignorance is where the mentally vulnerable and impressionable are drawn in, generally not by choice and core instincts are played on by its system of oversimplifications … to the point where the disciples become devotees, without being shown the reality through history of such ideas … Net Zero is one of those.
Thick or young people are made to feel intellectual or powerful … Freeland, Cressida Dick, AOC, Lammy … where they’re suddenly feted, fed the lines, plus the stock explanations for failure … they really feel they’re Someone making inroads for Good …
… when in fact, they’re tools for the opposite. To aid the process, Weishaupt in 1776 identified six things which must be wrecked, in order to not let reality threaten the cult:
“1) abolition of monarchy and all ordered government, 2) abolition of all private property and inheritances, 4) abolition of patriotism and nationalism, 5) abolition of the family, and 6) abolition of all religion.”
Hang on, you might object … they’re core tenets of socialism, but Marx was not around for decades, plus that’s “illumined” satanism … whereas socialists are all good people with their pink pussy parades etc, they hug trees, love gaia. How could that be?
Precisely.
The blunt, bleak bstds we are on the other hand, anathema to the LibDum for example, have our own fractious vulnerabilities, esp. if nominally “Christian”. And the dark side knows how to set us at each other’s throats, excommunicating each other, burning at the stake, hurling cherrypicked bible verses in our arsenals at each other … piece of cake … thereby reducing the threat to near zero … go ahead, burn down those churches.
Trouble is … while cultural Christianity is fairly uncomplicated, the entire history of theological dogma is a minefield … it requires both life experience and maturity, just as people on the whole become more conservative as they age … which is why we’re being bumped off first.
Point 5 in The Pattern above is the damage caused before order is restored. Plus when it is, the danger is power going to the head of the strongest, producing a monster. Henry VIII. It’s the constant damage caused by knob-heads which is the galling part.
I drove a landcrab at one stage … quite liked it but apart from the oil issue, it wanted more luxurious suspension … sadly, it did not evolve well.
The offputting styling of the post-landcrab into a dinky, bland angular nothing shape … same as all the other little cars on the road … well, I’d not have bought it. The landcrab was certainly grandfather style and I was a young man then … the inline 6 and style of the Wolseley suited me better than what would be Corsas today … I enjoyed loping along, no fuss … but life circumstances intruded and it was not to be … probably fortunately.
8. Incidentally, this is coming up for li’l ole y’all
… sooner or later today … shape, size, compress, compose …
Guess what … just started retching, for real … not alcohol, might have been the new bread, new butter … yikes … came out of it … poor neighbours … on with the darth vader hooded robe … much better now and thanks for asking.
Which brings me to Katie Hopkins (don’t ask how it does but there it is). I feel sad for her … she’s trying so hard for a regular gig, flew herself to DC, interviewed no one special, people “tolerate” her style … gauche, potty-mouthed, even gross at times … poor gal has to make ends meet … look, she just doesn’t … um … ah … cut it with too many, except in small doses … a bit like me I suppose. Effusive gal (many men shudder to read that).
I wish her the best, truly … don’t know what to suggest … no Natalie Winters now. I’d prefer Katie within limits. Mind rambling now, so best shut it.
7. The Toodles one, then my nightmare
It was interspersed with other news but basically … there was a marching band, a college band and they were essentially busking for cash so they could feature in some Great Parade. Toods almost gave them … it was a sob story … but something kept her back.
Later, on TV, a marching band which I think was that one … it was on TV and as they marched off, all in the band made the same grubby sexual gesture … so, so far from any former lowest level of decency. A marching band used to be a marching band, end of. Maybe it was a gesture at Trump.
There are overtones of Sodom and Gomorrah here, where civic taste has slipped below the point of acceptable … to any middling sort of citizen … I mean you just don’t. The stage after that is going to be lawlessness and psychopathic do as thou wilt … and of course, the vulnerable are girls, kids, the elderly, those incapacitated … the vulnerable. To the soulless young bullies though, not unlike in William S Burroughs … nowhere and nothing is safe anymore against their pitilessness, for anyone.
My nightmare, a real one which I was able to escape … the govt, on a whim to restructure, at the stroke of a pen, had made living an impossibility for the average person … we have the pensioners as a model here but also something like this:
It’s from that town downunder whose football team I followed, lost interest now but its local rag I’m still subscribed to … it’s behind paywall now … no thanks, for the same reason this couple could not now. Too many want their greedy slices that the whole thing is now unviable.
What do they do? Well if they’ve been a bit careful … they retire in a far more straightened way but still doable. Plus there’s family of course, wanting rather than providing. Is blood thicker than water? One hopes so, though the ethics of that marching band makes me wonder … a nightmare in itself. And is it a normal, proper family of yore? Or one of these single mother and brats, me coming in to service her affair?
Now, praise be but my circumstances just now are not too bad … just do with less and stay in the black by constant deft moves to avoid potholes. However, in this nightmare, the govt stroke of a pen had redesignated something … nightmare had already started, so never quite discovered what.
Anyway, the unbelievable had occurred … all failsafes had fallen through … maybe they too had been caught out by the goalpost shifting. The man was on the street … he could have taken anything with him but how much can one man carry? And where? And night was falling. And illegals were everywhere, plus indigenous marauders, gangs (Clockwork Orange) and a lovely new expensive pack would be a prime target.
Obviously, the only way was on the water … but how? He did have some cash left but the bank had frozen his account. If he jumped through hoops online, he could access a bit of it, after explaining what he wanted it for. Nothing further had yet happened in the nightmare, nothing untoward, as he awoke and saw the Toodles email and Last Refuge, plus the local rag tale and here I am before you.
Got up to a heated abode, grabbed a bap and local butter rather than Lurpak any more, made the coffee, feet on plush rugs, phone pinged … they’re taking for a new bundle tomorrow … whole thing seems unreal after that nightmare … and yet I very much near lost my abode a couple of months back, in RL. Didn’t write about it.
Then there’s you … what of your circumstances? Could change just like that. Worrying time.
6. Sundance at Last Refuge or Conservative Treehouse
“Like many of you I am absorbing the shock and awe evident in the planning of President Trump’s first day after his swearing in. Sometimes there is just so much news from events, its best to just elevate, watch it all unfold and appreciate the full context of how these moments came to fruition.
So much to discuss, almost too much. Meanwhile, in the background, you can see the furious shadows of those who operate in the opaque places, behind the glass. The political calculations and lesser visible downstream effects of the Trump tsunami are happening in real time across a massive swath of offices, complexes and institutional silos. That activity is where my focus remains.”
I do know what he means here … this was how I tried to write my long book, esp. near the end … big events were taking place out there, and certainly our ragtag observed, but the focus was on people in humble situations, dealing with the consequences of ‘that out there’.
Strangely, just having woken from a nightmare, Toodles reported on her experience (in 7 above).
(0122) Well, one of these middle-of-the-nighters again … a first sleep ending around now … another later … it’s working for now but it does alter anything bloggy after, roughly, 1930 of an evening. As with the Trump admin … we shall see. (0220)

2. Steve at 944
Five: Prince Harry’s US Visa, Fauci, much more……
Four: Inaugural Speech, Trump Team Desk — Executive Orders, much more…..
Three: Uke sit-rep, Russia, China, much more…..
Two: EHRC: Pak problem, EO 13961 is Revoked – Why It Matters, more…..
There’s no wicked pleasure in noting anomalies such as Monday 25 after celebrating something through the early evening … overall, far more positive for the world, such as looking at those EOs, inc. pardoning 1500 J6ers, commuting 6 others … many good things … but there is still Monday 25 … and not just religiously … it also has a profound effect on, say, middle-east diplomacy, the Balkans etc.
Our brief at Unherdables, for better or worse, is as aggregator and analysts and so let’s start with (further detail in comments):
NEW: President-elect Trump texted me his reaction to President Biden's preemptive pardons of the Jan. 6 committee and witnesses, Anthony Fauci and Mark Milley.
“It is disgraceful. Many are guilty of MAJOR CRIMES! DJT”
