(1557) Evening all.

 

20. Finally saw it up close

The amount of denial even here some years back, was jawdropping … the standard line being that the tanks are only just testing machinery for the plane.

Even granted some pics may well, through the lack of expertise of the filmer, been of other cargo, it does not alter what I saw yesterday, directly overhead. As the plane spewing the trails went over, the gunk was coming out of four places not connected with the engines. The plane was quite low, the markings could be seen. And it was straight line.

Within ten minutes, planes appeared from three other directions in the distance, criss-crossing the other’s trails … once it was dumped, they disappeared, presumably back to their landing strips.

What matters is not the truth, which was obvious long ago, but the narrative. Blair has said these things with only a couple of days to go before Labour gets what Northerners call a ‘threaping’ at the polls in the local council elections.

 

Hmmmm, copy is moderate, the film let’s see.

16. There was Kemi Badenough asking Starmer

… about where the inquiries are but it involved watching the clown answer. Let’s have some different clowns:

Ok ya’ll the India/Pakistan border is some wild stuff! This is mind blowing, considering all the hostility between the Hindus and Muslims.

Seems like they have stadium seating set up for this…border dancewar I guess we’ll call it. WTF!!

15. Canada again

I looked at one bag and it was Canadian electoral all right.

14. Another from Quora

Why is Jethro Tull not in the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame?

Mostly it’s because of politics…the nominating commitee (or inner circle, if you will) of this institution doesn’t like Jethro Tull, or any other band who went above and beyond what they consider to be rock and roll.

That weirdo Jann Wenner (who I believe is the president of the HOF, or chairman or whatever), has made his bias against certain genres quite clear…him and his HOF committee generally do not like the more complex, esoteric rock offshoots such as prog rock, electronic, or heavy metal.

Most rock journalists like Wenner and Robert Christgau believe those styles are a betrayal of what true rock and roll is meant to be, which in their minds means working-class, rebellious, danceable, and unintellectual.

With that said, Genesis, Yes, Rush, and the Moody Blues have all been inducted in recent years – probably not because Wenner and his cronies have newfound respect for prog, more likely it’s because these bands have topped fan polls year after year, to the point where the committee realized how out-of-touch they were by continuing to weaponize their personal biases in order to keep these groups from being inducted.

Tull have been eligible for decades and haven’t ever been nominated, but along with King Crimson and possibly Kansas, they are the only other big name holdovers from the prog era that still has an outside shot (unfortunately I don’t see ELP getting the nod even though they deserve it, and most of the other acts like Gentle Giant and Van Der Graaf Generator are not well-known outside of prog circles).

Anyway, while I’m sure Ian, Martin and Co would appreciate the temporary boost in interest that comes from being inducted, and many fans want their favorite band to be recognized, does it really matter if Tull has the seal of approval from that group of dunces over at the HOF? With some of the nonsense they’ve been inducting in recent years, it might be better to not be inducted.

 

He’s so expressive:

13. Apr 15, 2016

… word spreads regarding an extraordinary meeting called by Vladimir Putin yesterday where, according to sources, the Russian president said that “95% of the world’s ruling class are not even human,” but are “cold-blooded hybrids” who are “members of an ancient cult.”

Speaking at a behind closed doors forum for the highest echelons of government and staff in his home city of St. Petersburg, Putin responded to questions about the Panama Papers leak […]

Putin slammed his fist on the table and exclaimed, “George Soros, you sly dragon, this is war,” according to sources close to the President. Putin then vowed to ramp up sanctions against Soros’s Open Society even further.

When questioned by a top aide as to what he meant by “dragon” (an unusual word in Russian), Putin sighed heavily and fixed the assembled group with his trademark stare before explaining that all is not what it seems in regards to how the world is run.

Resisting gentle attempts by close aides to stop the President ‘going there,’ Putin said that the evidence was everywhere, and that he personally had intimate knowledge of their dealings. He said that he was not one of them, but they are afraid of him and have attempted to lure him into their “ancient Babylonian cult.”

“The evidence, ancient and modern, is enormous,” he said.

Putin said that mankind has been manipulated to become “unconscious” through the use of programming by media and politics, the perfect example of which was the recent Panama Papers leak. The world’s ruling class have tyrannical control over our food, water, and air supply, and they are actively dumbing down the masses.

……

Feel free to utterly reject or partially reject any of that. Were any of it not so, what of the nephilim, the illumined, weishaupt, templars, lodges, p2, vatican, CIA, Bolton’s warning about Hegseth’s safety, the full extent of the paedo ritual abuse, control of trafficking and laundering, owning almost all pollies?

Or to approach it another way … were the interbred from that time of fallen angels a “thang” rather than myth, then what would be their purpose, their life’s work? Remaining as no ones in the middle of society or lower? Why would Icke and Putin both come to the same conclusion?

What advantage would a hybrid have over a human? Nuff on this.

12. Canada … take or leave as you will

There’s that, but then there’s the Liberal Party official saying it was rubbish that there was cheating as it was all paper ballot, name lined through at the table. No machines to flip votes.

Uh huh … and boxes did not arrive?

When it suddenly stops

Chap called Fernando Nikolic:

“I was there yesterday when Spain went dark. It took less than an hour for panic to set in. Cash became, surprisingly, worthless. Here’s what actually happens when the systems break:

No internet. No phone service. No warning. Within an hour, lines were already forming at supermarkets and gas stations. People didn’t wait for answers and just acted on instinct.

Then, the rumors. Someone said it was a cyberattack. Others said the UK, Germany, France, Italy, Netherlands, and Greece were also hit. There was no way to confirm anything. Fear spread faster than facts.

I went to grab supplies. It didn’t matter if you even had cash. Stores couldn’t give change. If you only had a €50 bill for a €5 item, you either handed it over or walked away with nothing.

I didn’t have a radio at home. The only way to get updates was to walk to my car, turn on the radio, and listen there. It was the only working source of information.

One thing became obvious: The more centralized the system, the more fragile it is. The Iberian Peninsula’s interconnected grid turned a local issue into a regional blackout within minutes.

The power eventually came back. But the illusion didn’t. It doesn’t take days, or even hours, for society to start unraveling. It takes minutes.

Decentralize what you can. Keep basic tools around. Don’t assume the systems you rely on will always be there. Yesterday made that very clear.

Modern systems are fragile. Most people won’t see it until it breaks.”

…….

Thoughts:

There was a film: The Day the Earth Stood Still … there are also “prepper” sites around, the more experienced authors actually having land with large water tanks etc.

Chap above said power came back on after an hour … I’m thinking many at home would wait for that to happen. I have my own supply for a short time, during which I’d post a message here, not that it would make a lot of difference unless you also had power or were in a different land.

Probably wise to stock up slowly on tinned/canned food, water bottles.

Defence … this would be your next consideration … marauders, esp. of a certain kind, though any marauder is a problem. Therefore you have some decisions to make … ahead of time. I’d not put anything in comments here about your defensive measures … stasi of course is the main issue.

I’d say this though … better to have layered defences, from perimeter inwards, not physically requiring you on the outer layers.

Loo roll … not a consideration to be sniffed at.

5. Steve from his comment yesterday

Just read about the F/A-18 Super Hornet that went for a swim in the Red Sea. Apparently a deck tractor went with it too so the USS Harry S. Truman is missing one of those as well. Swerving to avoid an incoming Houthi missile put the flight deck over a tad steep to hold the jet and over she went. They’re about $72 million a pop. Doesn’t mention how much the tractors are …
