(0815) Morning all … just awoke again, lazy me. (0951)

 

9. Moosh corner

8. Miles gets so much right

… only missing small items, sometimes from past research the alt-media has done. For example:

Not arguing with the estimable Miles over this … could well be the case … however, I’d just add that, in debunking one thing … he’s accidentally (?) uncovered another.

It was big alt-news about a decade and a half ago … FEMA camps, surrounded by high barbed wire, or dozzens of boxes, minus wire, stacked up … we thought directly for govt dissidents but certainly, FEMA was being called out as a bunch of baddies, even then, certainly not pro we the people.

In a way, that was true … covid concentration camps … and west-wide, not just in the US. Camps intended for people … but for which people? Maybe for “refugees”? Army training camps for the new UN army of mongrels?

7. My cunning plan with IYE this morning

… is to go into the sidebar, one item at a time, and explore over coffee and choc.

6. These bracelets are one thing

… the use they’re put to are quite another. In teaching, long ago, various girls would give me the elasticised type with things written on them and I just appreciated the gesture … it was girl behaviour, which it might just have been in Tue 5d … or it may have been quite diferent … girls are never lightyears away from susceptibility to the dark side … you could make a case that boys also are not but it’s usually a bit different, e.g. numerology, and in mediaeval times … alchemy … while females were into the crystal ball or astrology bit … yes I know males were too.

I’ve already told the tale of the girl, a fellow tertiary student, whom I had a bit to do with for awhile … at her place, out would come the Tarot cards … she was deadly serious. Sad to read, a few years ago, that she had jumped off a balcony onto a public carpark concrete floor … or had been “jumped” by the cult she’d been trying to escape.

And we know about The Wicker Man and how weird the far flung islands can be … hordes of people with fire sticks running around a fire, chanting … bit of a giveaway, would you not say? Or the Druids on Anglesea and so on. Oak groves … a bit rich of the Romans, I thought, given their own pantheistic predilection.

Then we come to hexes and a chap I knew in Russia, where that sort of thing is rife … he gave me, from that side of the fence, the same advice Jesus of Nazareth gave from His … don’t dabble … you’ve no idea what skynet you’re unleashing e.g. machine learning, risibly pushed as “AI”. Keep on the straight or strait path, folks.

Back to Brazilian bracelets … here’s an item I found … and a short way down the post … this:

(A) very special ribbon which Brazilians call a fita do Senhor do Bomfim. At least ninety percent of Brazil
’s population has worn one of these things at some point in their lives, and the ones who haven’t are mostly too young to tie knots.

Further down:

More than three million Africans were imported into Brazil as slaves. They brought with them the Yoruba religions of Africa, which came to become inextricably mixed with Catholicism. For more than 250 years, Salvador, in the northeastern state of Bahia, was Brazil’s Rome.

“Mixed with Catholicism” … hmmmmm … precisely. Readers would be well aware of me going on about the sun worship symbol behind the cross in higher Catholic churches, the swinging of incense, the pageantry, the sheer wealth. The other day, I saw a statue of Mary by the roadside … some man was on his knees, worshipping it. No no, say Catholics … only revering it. Yeah, well I’ll leave it at that, shall I?

So … back to the girl’s bracelet making … when is it but a kid’s adornment and when is it a mystical request granter? When is Ashli Babbit’s horned handsign just a girl’s unknowing gesture of “goodwill”, as the gobbledegook teachers taught her … and when what it really is? When is a Taylor Swift dance session in Southport just a bit of innocent satanic fun fooling the parents and kids … and when does it became something far more?

5. DAD at 978

a) Macron in Washington. Hoping against hope, that he can appear as the Leader of Europe.….

b) The UK government is pressing forward with an AI-driven mass surveillance initiative, expanding the reach of its controversial disinformation-monitoring apparatus.

c) From the beginning of the Trump administration, Brussels-based officials have been struck by the new president’s complete lack of desire to deal with them.

d) Mademoiselle from Armentières has a problem. A 13-year-old girl was harassed and assaulted by several middle school girls who accused her of practicing witchcraft. The teenager was only making Brazilian bracelets.

JH: I’ve a post-item coming up on these.
