Natalie W is at ground zero there, feels the rats were not freaking out over RFK as much, not a great sign … they’ll give Tulsi G hell … Megyn felt Kash P is probably in all right.

15. Theories
Steve has one, Vox has one:
The Blackhawk apparently did NOT have its transponder on, and was designated as a “PAT” (Priority Air Transport) which means that there was a very high ranking Military Official on board the helicopter.
Mine was that it was someone important … I thought on the airline, Vox thought in the helicopter. Read Steve’s in the sidebar.
However, now I’m having a second thought and seems I’m not alone in that:
“Many details were fictionalized. The timeframe was changed from the Prohibition era to the postwar era. Chicago became an unnamed fairly-nondescript big city. Al Capone was referred to only as the shadowy “Big Fellow” and photographed only from the rear and was a more diversified mobster rather than primarily a bootlegger (reflecting the change in US organized crime following Prohibition’s repeal).
Also, of course, IRS Criminal Investigator Frank Wilson became IRS Criminal Investigator Frank Warren. Nevertheless, the film authentically portrayed the efforts of Wilson’s team to put together a tax evasion case against Capone, and in many respects, despite the name changes and nondescript settings, the film is a far more accurate depiction of the investigation than later films on the same subject like The Untouchables.
For example, in The Untouchables the judge presiding over Capone’s trial abruptly changes juries in the middle of the case, something that would never happen in real life. What actually happened was that the judge switched jury panels just before the trial began, and the incident is accurately portrayed in The Undercover Man.”

11. Sudden rain squall, large drop in temp
Here’s our forecast:
In fact, there I was downstairs, coolish weather, clear, some darkness to the sky but nothing bad, nichevo (strashnevo) … when suddenly the chill hit, wind chill maybe 0Celsius, sleet started, my man rocked up, he said five minutes ago it hit him in Wales.
Whaaaa? Around these parts, it’s rarely done a Michael Fish doozy but today, it’s way out. Plus I note flood warnings in other parts of this sceptr’d isle, this throne of unherdables.
This is in the nature of a long, pre-Alzheimers type ramble, one to scroll past, except for the few of the “inteerestni” as I describe them.
I live, not in a “good area” but in a pocket of an industrial area which has pockets in it which are quite liveable, most things at hand and even in this long, wide, irregular rabbit warren of connected add-ons, can be best described as a series of landings at differing heights, off which branch flats, such that in our part, no one really knows anyone in the far flung parts … some of those parts I’d not wish to live, nor here the way it was … but here the way it is now … well, you’re not going to get much better in 2025 Britain.
Plus it might all end sooner than expected … there are signs around here of nasty things coming … one can only pray and hope … but for now, our little corner is nice. In fact, it’s not unlike in Russia where, in town, people live in apartment blocks, not because Stalin is forcing them but because those two foot thick walls and central heating costing a pittance simply can’t be beaten … this includes The Money. The Money has swishy furniture inside, plus dachas and yachts far away … but in the city, it’s apartment blocks.
France for me was different, ditto Sicily, this town here in the NW works on pockets rather than salubrious areas and the others the pits. A bit like Newcastle … walk from one street to another one across and it’s a different world. Other side of the Pennines where home is … well, there were pockets where parts of my family lived. Oop on’t hill was a nice part.
Into all this comes the game changer and I’m going to quote Steve:
In 1940, when we stood alone against the greatest war machine the world had ever known, there were almost 5 million of us in uniform, another 17 million directly employed in war work and a Land Army of millions in the fields and in the forests, plus over a million fishing our waters. That left the children and the elderly – where even some of those were helping out. We call them the Greatest Generation and they weren’t ‘diverse’. Our strength came from being a highly cohered society: a society built on trust over millennia. We are indigenous Northern Europeans and this is OUR land. It is NOT the possession of any political party registered with the Post Office.
Amen. Look, what I’m skirting around, trying to avoid Two Tier sending in the Stasi … well let me put it this way … we have two “migrant” couples in here with us but they’re, shall we say, Orbans and Anna Kournikova types, living almost the same as we do, give or take the type of vodka, type of pies and cakes, pastries. One couple have a cross dangling from their rear view mirror … gives you the idea. They’re actually happy I’m so quiet. Would I be in trouble saying they’re “civilised”?
And what of me anyway … I’m a bit cross cultural … Yorkshire father, Irish mother, well-off Oz stepfather. And what if Christine Anderson, Eva Vlaar or Archbish Vigano came to live in our little enclave? Nice … think you see where this is going. How about a Gurkha couple next door? Seems fine … depends on character.
What do I miss of Yorkshire? A lot, so I keep retweeting on X. Oz? I retweet Alexandra and a few boys from downunder. There are, however, certain photos, certain footage, I find it very difficult to look at … this is one:
The Oz Grand Prix, by the way, goes around that lake, I used to sail on it, I was in one of the sailing clubs. The Sea Scouts were there. Another which dismayed me was this documentary I saw this morning:
That part of the city … well let me explain. Melboune is at the head of a very fat, pear shaped body of water like one of the Great Lakes, opening onto the open ocean. The salubrious suburbs are south-east of that northern point. At that central northern point, and to the west and south-west, is industrial, including what you see in the video. Down the eastern coast was where my parents lived.
Right … why the dismay? Nothing geographical … I’m very happy in the NW here, everything at hand, was happy in that Russian town, adored from Melun down to Fontainebleau, was in a nice part of Sicily for some months, liked where I was in Oz, even inner-city. Liked So-Cal, love where Toodles is … and so it goes on. No, it’s really not geographical for me … I loved Kitzbuhel.
It’s two things actually … one is Father Time and how the successive generations have rendered me irrelevant, plus some other things in a second post sometime soon. And the other relates to the Steve quote above … yes, it’s about demographics and that word “civilised”. About the human landscape, about safety, about the lowlifes in parliament. You know the score.
Why is this such a nice corner just here? Because it’s physically unsafe for intruders from outside … they don’t muck around in these parts. Think I mentioned it’s a biker area too. Good lads they are.
Anyway, nuff for now, some domestic things coming up.

Oklahoma Approves Proposal Requiring Parents to Prove Citizenship When Enrolling Their Kids – Trump and deportation resistance – Milley … much on RFK Jr. … Uke sit-rep – US drones – Hungary … UK tyranny – Trump hope for Europe – a variety of articles in n1 … much more.
(0446) Overview is “pinned” to the top of the first post. (0554)
Overview: Two items after skimming down X, which leads to other sites: DC airline crash, RFK of course. As well, a reminder that EOs do eventually need backing by Congress … very little mentioned … plus the NHS here have expanded, not contracted DEI hires. First item below today is in-house, about formatting. There’s also this across at OoL: https://orphansofliberty.blogspot.com/2025/01/the-vaxx-conundrum.html .
5. Charity begins at home
Not sure if this a specifically Christian concept:
One thing for sure is you don’t destroy, lay waste to your home, to those depending on you, in order to help an outside enemy planning to destroy your family and community … and you look to your own destitute and unfortunate first.
4. Profligate wastage by the waste-of-space Woke-left
Rule n1 is not to let a DEI hire touch anything, n2 is not to let govt go anywhere near it … even something simple they’ll mess up and run into vast overspend on taxpayer money. As for privatising … it’s always greedy corporations using DEI hires or near slave labour who are awarded contracts.
3. The aircrash, at the time of posting this
… my question is which “important” (for Them) passengers were killed:
2. RFK Jr. was abused yesterday by the Senate demonrats
… but what’s new … they’re thick automatons tasked by the controllers to take RFK Jr. down any which way. Don’t know what’s so “astounding” about this:
And that RFK Jr. speech:
1. Some notes on formatting of HQ
Not changes as such, just explaining like.
The decision on whether to put up a screenshot or run text on an item depends, to a large extent, on timeframe … the RFK speech (Thurs 2) had to be saved as screenshot as I was not ready to run it yet, plus saving as text is poor on ipad … they play piddly, script-kiddy, rich-text games … easier just as a screenshot, then compressed (which app-costs in itself) … plus the font size is better for reader eyes on the shots … plus the re-colorising in light teal of parts of plain text for quoting/contrast takes far more time, e.g. with Steve/DAD in the mornings.
Downside is it “costs” far more in disk space for screenshots but that resource we’re rich in here … disk space … not though in the EE hub bottleneck, which “throttles” speed of usage for plebs like customers such as moi.
Solution is simply not to overload EE, the weakest link … our blog “backend” itself can handle a vast amount of data … the issue is the EE bottleneck.
To express that as overall “working time” for li’l ole me … to run standard text is disk-economical but it takes time … to run screenshots is not disk-economical against short text drops but as for a rant, screenshots are far more time-economical, e.g. the RFK in Thur 2.
