(0724). Morning all, still in bed, can hear the traffic out there … how’s that for timing … I was aiming for an 0730 restart after a second sleep. DAD’s signposting in the previous post is up … not sure I’ll do it that way next time. (0954)
11. Sandy Tregent, one of our regular Brit Xers
10. Bad optics
Two tales here … first from IYE:
Of course you should, IYE and I quite agree. We’re not saying anything was going on but in the light of everything else which IS going on, almost daily revelations as well … whoever photographed that needs to have his/her motivation, awareness level, questioned.
And now my tale … I’ve always liked the Orbison vehicle She’s a Mystery to Me, from his last comeback (or brought back) … bear with me here … it goes on, this tale. Anyway, for some crazed reason, a Starmer-like drummer, in the second big crescendo and finale, is employed to absolutely bash the snare drum … plus the mixing in of said bashing is gauche, unfeeling … it’s completely out of kilter with the mood, the tone of the song overall.
It’s supposed to be a romantic song, with pangs of loss … the usual Orbison thang … the video is mysterious, sad, melancholy, an exotic woman leaves him … or he does, whatever … it’s a very Valentine’s song, mixed with noir. But that bloody meathead drum bash ruins it !!!
Therefore, I searched through a dozen versions to find one where the cover performance was up to scratch, mixed well, where the singer could carry it off, where musos played superbly, where the finale was sustained … and I found it.
Never mind that I don’t really like something about the guy … the performance itself though, mixed nicely … is possibly the best cover going … so I sent it to Toodles, having not watched right through … only to the final note, which is not, sadly, the end of the video. Just what Toodles thought of the very end after that I shudder to think.
And I was going to play it here at HQ as my Valentine’s offering. Yikes! If IYE had seen it, he’d have quite legitimate questions. This is it.
9. Meanwhile, across the pond
8. Stepping back from the apocalyptic for a few minutes
… looking only at the here and now this Monday morn … what will the effect of Starmer’s Brit boots in the Ukraine be at home? Aside from our anger, I mean?
Morale already down, now plummets, armed forces people resign, numbers drop even more alarmingly in personnel and expertise, also kit. Woke rages, ships sink, planes plummet … Starmer introduces conscription.
And at that point, the imported army is activated to slaughter us, elderly and infirm first, the able-bodied conscripted. This by a man whose party took all those seats on 20% of the vote, a third of that invader vote, maybe two-thirds in urban areas.
I wonder if Starmer sees himself as some sort of modern day Churchill.
7. Battle between good and evil
She’s not wrong but how to convince the mesmerised normies, the secularly certain, the smart set who have it all worked out in a secular way? As Yuri pointed out in the mid 80s … people will not be able, any longer, to come to sound conclusions, sane.
For example, I just saw an item on what Starmer is giving away to Mauritius and all the rest … same sort of thing that Biden did at the last moment … gave the last money away to anyone his handlers could dream up … except for his own people.
These globopsychos are not really understood by looking at their “wicked”, fanatical minds. Starmer is a total fanatic for the global “cause” but that stops short of the mark, mainly as almost all people today in the west simply do jot wish to think it through any further. That explanation will suffice, they are determined. The alternative is too unpalatable.
Starmer is not the type who can think such things up for himself … he’s been thoroughly brainwashed over time, he’s taken on somebody else’s utter hatred of Man (meaning humans).
As Julia once said: “I’m not going there.” Not safe, is it … too left field … and yet the evidence is right in our faces at every turn. Swift and Gaga, Madonna (bit of a giveaway, that name, eh) have not exactly hidden it from the young. Minaj, Perry, Diddy.
Is the Donald the Messiah for a secular west, for the teeming masses? Not my place to try to evangelise … just think that with that sort of massive firepower against humankind, driven by a metaphysical Maniac … a Donald can do but so much and that’s that.
The curious thing is that for those of us accused of blind faith in a sky fairy … this may turn out to be the most clearminded cynicism yet … with the “rationalists” and philosophers the most taken in … desperate for Donald to be the One. Certainly playing a good game so far, give him that … I’d love to be quite wrong … humble pie awaits.
What should we be doing? Well … be fully aware of the full extent of the War we’re in for a start, at the back of the mind … make preparations afap in the physical too, add ourselves to the chorus of protest … all those sorts of intermediate measures. Good stuff.
Did you see that Starmer is determined to put British boots in the Ukraine? Hellbent on having our youth slaughtered … reduce excess population, yes? Tell me how sane and rational that is? Seriously.
8. I doubt that there will be any British boots in (The) Ukraine, as Rachel from accounts, with one sweep of her pen, has destroyed the British military recruiting campaign, with her decision that the dependants of serving personnel who are killed while off duty, will have to pay capital gains tax on any end of service payment. Just remember that Lee Rigby, who was murdered by Islamic scum, was off duty at the time. Just think of the uproar there would have been if a Tory government had demanded that CGT.
These numpties must really hate this country and probably look upon Orwell’s “1984” as a training manual.
Anyway, during.my.military service, I was told that we were never off duty, even if wearing civvies..
……
JH: Yes, we were told that too. Hoping you’re right about boots in the Ukraine.
Could always round up the “gate crashers” and send them….
Jon – I remember the Barrack Block Lawyers saying we were off-duty between 23.59 – 00.01, because the system couldn’t deal with 00.00. How true that is, I don’t know. There was also something about not being responsible for your actions within 15 seconds of being woken up.
……
JH: Plot thickens.
While Volod has been revelling in all the positive attention he’s been getting of late someone, preferably with a backbone, ought to ask him about this

“Obama himself stated he didn’t need Congress to cut wasteful government spending. So don’t waste my time with your pathetic lies; here’s the clip for all to see. Now watch as your foolish argument withers and dies in the face of cold, undeniable truth.”

8. Stepping back from the apocalyptic for a few minutes
This is being discussed on GB News today. I’ll be honest I don’t think the Russian army is up to fighting a regional war leave alone a global conflict. However if it’s defending of their own back yard then look out. Russia is vast: 9 time zones east to west. What is hidden, militarily, in those 6,601,670 square miles is anyone’s guess. Starmer suggests we put ‘boots on the ground’ in The Ukraine in the face of what is the declared intention of the Kremlin and that is if you come here you will be destroyed.
We’ve seen the 21st century battlefield and what is does to soldiers in the open, or in defensive positions such as trenches. Those bombs you see being dropped by quadcopter drones are as cheap as chips. Just enough explosive to in an instant transform you from combatant to non-combatant. All bang and no shrapnel because they have to be light enough to be carried by a battery-powered drone. The Russians have made an art of doing more with less and their belief that quantity has its own quality.
……
JH: In one.
7. Battle between good and evil – she was on fire on Talk Radio this morning. A little of what she does:

Ground. Situation. Mission.

Lest we forget. Lee Rigby allegedly had his head severed by machete and yet when lyng prone in the inclined road no blood flowed out from under the jacket the blonde lady laid over the heinous wound.
Lest we forget. One of the atrackers was within striking difference of an msm camera crew and instead of striking out at them with his bllod sowked machette and knife he went on a rant just as a little old lady carrying her shopping walked right past him and the camera crew without batting an eye.
Lest we forget there were fully tooled up military police guarding the barracks directly adjacent to the road and they never reacted. Didn’t even pop out to see what happened when the black car supposedly sent the soldier flyng and then crashed into the strongest road sign known to man.
Lest we forget. Just prior to the fake cops turning up real cops appeared and they were tood to reverse out by a man in civvies and they did.
Lest we forget. Right before the fake armed cops appeared a red london double decker bus rolled up and a shedload of people, including the little old lady, were checked on board by another civilian with a clipboard and walkie talkie.
All of that video is available online so is as factual as it can get for video evidence that whatever went in that day it wasn’t what the official story says went on.
As for the military. Apparently the UK government has donated tanks, self propelled guns, various classes of obsolete military vehicles, missiles, ammunition of all kinds, training of all kinds, two minesweepers and god knows what else outside of the public domain, to the Ukranian military/government.
A not inconsiderable amount of which has been sold on to third parties.
The UK army is at its lowest numerical fighting strength since who knows when. More experienced men are leaving the service than there are inexperienced lads signing up.
Its vehicle fleet is aging and being made obsolete by UK government dithering, financial malpractice and the age old military problem of too many chiefs and not enough indians.
The Royal Navy is an even worse state but thankfully the Bospherous is closed to all naval vessels so the embarrassment of being unable to send RN vessels or even ex RN minesweepers into the Black sea is avoided.
I have lived my entire life in a town that I am told is “one the list” for a nuclear ICBM strike due to a certain site within the town and so if one was fired it would almost literally land on my head. As such nothing I could do to stop it so no point in worrying.
That said the only actual threat that has manifested in my six plus decades is the UK government James quite correctly named it the uniparty and it is this organ that has decapitated society if not life on this island and is now ramping its coup de grace up with the direct import of legal immigrants which vastly outnunber the illegal immigrants but nobody seems to notice.
But therein lies the rub. I posited last week that a start could be made by people not complying with government which got no reponses be they negative or supportive. Since that post its just been a reportage of all the political shenanigans being played out across the world of media which has led me accept I am out of step with folks in this tavern so I take my leave.
May your god go with you.
…..
JH: I replied … it’s still up you know, Bill. Thurs, Feb 13.
Lee Rigby May 22nd, 2013 … I’ll be running this comment here as a post item tomorrow morning.
If you get a chance to communicate with Bill please tell him that heis not out of step with me, and is suspect most others in this tavern.
I don’t think you are as out of step with folks herein as you might think. I favour passive resistance. I post things here to hopefully inform and archive before they disappear down the black hole of censorship. These days there is far more to ridicule. Folks believe what they want to believe – always have and always will. Many times I have stated nobody knows what is happening or happened in various instances because unless we have been there physically ourselves we cannot know with 100% certainty. Fwiw, I never bought into the Rigby story just as I am not buying the T Robinson rigamarole now which might not be popular amongst other tavern visitors so I keep my thoughts to myself.
Every patron’s offerings are appreciated by me and the onus is on me to decide what I want to read or ignore. I don’t take issue if no-one reacts to my drops.
Hope you’ll decide to stick around.
10. I wouldn’t have seen the end of that video – I clicked out after 15 secs or so – not my cuppa tea 🙂
