“Before his company will pay out, an insurance investigator (Dennis O’Keefe) arrives in a small town to look into an apparent suicide. But he immediately begins to suspect something’s not quite right. No gun, no powder marks, no bullet, no coroner’s report, and no sheriff’s report seem to lead to no suicide. Was it suicide … or was it something more sinister?”

Drumroll …

(1051). Morning all … nice day out there, was out there earlier. (1207)

 

8. They’re all asking for money now

7. No cheeky girls here

6. Needs to be noted

5. There will be repercussions

… plus the strength and clearheadedness to stick to them.

 

Around 8 a.m., it being 0803 just now, I like to be into the first feature post, usually Ruairidh or Jago, so’s I can get some brekky in. However … last night, I quickly made nine screenshots and this morning, post-HQ disaster, was redacting them for this post … phew, it’s a long one, people … both the video plus various comments on it … but so profound … truly I think it’s the most interesting take I’ve seen.

Plus, in the light of Thurs 1 and 2 already today … uncannily relevant … uncannily. Let’s get down to it by putting cart before horse. Now, good people … videos are time out of your day, yes, understood, but this one I believe will reward your time. Comments first though:

So to the video itself:

My thoughts:

First off, I’m not pooh-poohing those reports of her remains or plane bits on remote islands … possible … this video only analysing up to the final recorded communication with her.

The whole story does, though, bear an uncanny resemblance to subsequent events with female daredevils, inc. Amy, up to Hultgreen, including that lady airline pilot who safely put the airliner down after losing an engine (well done) to the famous racing driver who finally went too far, crashed and died, to the Fitzgerald, to the Florida bridge … to Danica Patrick who did win races but stayed this side of the careful/reckless line, plus some British ladies who did well and did not die … not from that anyway … yes, all that is so but the same motifs do keep appearing though … uncannily. Always.

Look at Pam Bondi, look at Karoline Leavitt … the latter is showing the signs of being as pleased as punch with herself … not good … inexperience … hoping she’ll settle down and continue to do her due diligence, because they’re going to do for her otherwise, as we are currently with Bondi.

A silly girl is Paula London who’s taken the bait and instead of sticking to her journalism, has started the swimsuit and “lady parts” guff on X, just as Anna Kournikova did, just as Danica Patrick herself did. But not Tulsi nor Kristi … those two are far more canny.

Why should I care? Because men do care for our women … nature of the beast.

There are other red flags with Amelia E, apart from her privileged, yet weirdly inadequate upbringing … one red flag being the satanic Eleanor R, UN pusher of the day. That woman was the worst, apart from the suffragettes, who twisted all advances for women already achieved with men onboard … that lot then turned it into the Helen Reddy look at me, I am superwoman, nothing I cannot do, better even than men, what fish needs a bicycle.

Ladies and gentlemen … that is sick … it plays on the very susceptibility and latent resentment of most females if it gets out of hand … as against the brutalism and “uncaringness” of the male, the natural arrogance we have, whether justified or not, the propensity we have for being right bstds or curmudgeons, the manspreading, the mansplaining.

You know my hobbyhorse … anything coming between men and women I am against. End of. Both males and females need to be ultra-cautious about people, forces, exploiting the natural fissures between them.

And in Earhart’s case, in her natural inexperience in tech, plus the feminist arrogance … weeeellll … accident waiting to happen … not forst time either by the way. The officer on that ship who did know tech and who has been criticised for not setting Earhart straight … why did he not? Not his job to? She was the star? Or was he up against a global political thing, just as with those first three girls sailing solo around the world (girls, not women who have of course done it).

The Oz girl was a great sailor, plus she had a complete support service. In the case of Dutch NZ Laura … she was a natural sailor, I can tell you that, plus father advising her. The American girl? Disaster … on her own completely, needed rescuing.

Would I have been much better? Nope … without a support team … not at all … in fact it happened when I was 23, it was in the press at the time … but my crew and I called it off before it got to the really dangerous part … no regrets even today … poor support preparation on my part, too young too, plus I had a crewman’s life to consider … just as Amelia E had Noonan … and did not consider him imho. END.

2. HQ disaster

Chaps and chapesses … if you’d been following the past hour here, you’d have seen items 1 to 4 slowly go up … 2 was DAD, 3 was Steve and 4 was IYE. It’s the most work-intensive part of the day, requiring jumping from HQ to NOWP and back, then highlighting Four Three Two etc., greening it using hex code and in DAD’s case, also reading and summarising. Item 4 was a note to IYE after his comment in the sidebar.

There’s over an hour’s work at a critical time of the day pour moi. Saved it, checked it was fine, went off to do a domestic chore involving next door. Came back, opened this post again … guess what? Items 2, 3, 4 completely gone. On both ipads.

No matter, thought I, the thing which always kicks in is the WP notice in a cross screen panel at the top, which says there’s an older autosave, would I like to see it? Yes please. Then … restore this autosave? Yes of course … all back to normal. Most useful, that WP function.

To gather how much work is involved in the opening hour each day, go to any previous day’s opening items at HQ and look. Also, to answer the obvious question that maybe I forgot to save … I always save once the [1 to 4] in the heading goes in … meaning I always type that and instantly click save, wait for the lit “save” to go faded … that means saved. But it hardly matters, as the WP notice appears anyway if there’s a glitch.

Yes, you guessed it … WP this one time singularly failed to show the panel today, I can say first time ever it’s failed … meaning there was no way to get back to the previous revision. In short, the summaries of DAD, Steve, IYE were gone, matey, into the ether. The sole proof they were ever here is in the heading as it is now … [1 to 4] … that only ever goes up as the last thing before save.

P’d off? Mightily. Why oh why did WP choose now, of all times, to fail to display its regular service?

Well, the most charitable answer I can come to is that yesterday’s HQ troubles wiped this facility away … that is, WP no longer offer this failsafe at HQ. That’s the most charitable thing I can say. Less charitable is that some gremlin has got inside HQ but unless it evaded my techie’s eyes as well, I can’t see that being the reason.

All right … am I going to do that hour’s work over again? Am I hell as like … esp. as readers can simply go to NOWP itself or in the sidebar here and see the originals for themselves. Me? I’m having a coffee instead, ready to start the second post of the day. Sorry me. Plus Toodles has just written. The day has started, the sun is out.

1. Manouevering the public

TDS has an article on some European poll saying young females are far more likely to vote Woke leftwing than males … I’d say based largely on the German result and rather than join in with this thing, even with Pam Bondi’s refusal to do as she promised and DJT saying nothing, but with my own hobbyhorse of not being drawn into men attacking women in argument, as my argument is that the two sexes MUST work together, marry and start producing babies …

… well, you can see where all this is going. This poll came out of Scandinavia (natch) and the Woke, globo-communist trend is all for splitting male – female and wedging the gap even wider. Whoever commissioned the bollox poll (see TDS) clearly had an agenda, an agenda which my own post yesterday, including that Orwell quote in black, did nothing to dissipate. Manipulation plus.

Even my own neighbours are split that way. He is well aware of the imported army of fighting age males waiting to be given the word, she though actually said to me that it’s not just them … there are plenty of men from here threatening girls … yes, that’s so and I asked why so, then said because they have no respect for the female these days, easy meat … she agreed before realising what that meant.

And so it goes … we hardly need to spell it out, no? Meanwhile, why did Bondi say she had the list on her desk? My current surmise is that she was doing her boss’s bidding, so she gets the heat, not him, from MAGA … in other words, carrying a big stick so that the baddies do as Donny says or else. The moment it’s announced, the power is gone. Nuff for now.
