Thursday [14 till close of play]

(1611) Evening coming up, all.

 

21. Moosh corner

… fun day for all concerned.


20. Steve corner

a. On Thur 14:

Here we have full coverage of migrant crimes against American women under Trump’s administration, disgracefully neither MSNBC or CNN covered it:

Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt Briefs Members of the Media with a Special Guest, Apr. 16, 2025 | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8OD85ZFNKy0

Karoline Leavitt Destroys Dems’ narrative surrounding Kilmar Abrego Garcia | https://rumble.com/v6s6qgn-karoline-leavitt-destroys-dems-narrative-surrounding-kilmar-abrego-garcia.html

b. War Room at 1023:

  • Erik Prince: “1.6 Million Have A Deportation Order And They Are On The Run.”
  • Natalie Winters: Only Time MSM Talks Immigration Is A Gotcha Moment Against the President
  • Julie Kelly Questions Judge Boasberg’s Knowledge Of Migrant Flight Schedule Amid Legal Battle
  • Nationalized: Britain’s Race To Take Back Last Major Steel Plant From China

19. Andy brings CNN to HQ

This is CNN so it could be taken with a pinch of salt. Or it could be a concern as regards priorities and the power of lobby groups.

18. IYE

Thur 2. Mathis breaks it down – see his addendum recently added. “The Fake Blue Origin”

17. There was always something wrong with the whole thing


While there’s subsequently been one thing after another after another … for me, two or three things did it. Until then, I’d been quoting a site starting with G, have forgotten the name … it was slick, it was written in a ferreting pundit, not a whitewashing way and it was crammed with detail on how metal melts, why this could not be … why this probably was. It was like one of our exposes … only pro-narrative.

NIST lying next morning about the rubble started my dissidence, followed by various firemen reports, things not adding up … then came that interview with Silverstein in his office, asked about safety and WTC7 in particular. Whilst some were fixated on the Beeb error, it wasn’t that which did it for me … it was Silverstein answering the question of what he intended doing with the building, should measures not work.

”We’ll pull it.” Meaning the entire building … that afternoon.

There is always, as mentioned in an earlier post, often an incident, only needs to be one. For example, Barrett’s look of disgust at Trump’s back after he’d moved on. In film, one of the Columbo episodes was solved, turning on one thing … immediately before the bomb blast in the car, the perp ever so slighly winced, braced for it.

Another aspect on 911 was how vehemently the firemen kept banging on, under severe attack and insult. Same way Alisha Owens did, with zero % gain to be had, personally.

16. If the girls in Thur 14, plus this lady

… represent much female opinion up and down the land, then who is bolstering up the Granny Harmer, making him feel invincible?


15. Reminder to Granny Harmer


14. Near the end of the clip

… glance behind left at the low wall, who’s sitting there:

Try these

 

  1. In Roman numerals, what is CLI?
  2. Anglo word for Serge de Nîmes.
  3. That blue dye imported via Genoa from which city?
  4. Haile Selassie’s name before 1930?
  5. Countries joining EEC the same time as Ireland.
  6. Name of plane dropping bomb on Nagasaki.

Thursday [13]

Maundy Thursday preface … seems I might have to dip into the archive a bit more today and tomorrow, as the material on X is not offering a lot just now. This is going to mean separate posts with the “read more” reminder below. Here’s one from the turn of the Millennium.

Minette Marrin’s article is becoming increasingly difficult to find online so it’s archived here for reference:

Hatred of things male has led to the rape of justice

– Minette Marrin, Sunday Times, 24nov02, sect. 1, p19

‘All men are rapists” was one feminist battle cry of the 1970s. Not many people actually thought so, even at the time, but it did express an animosity towards men that was widely shared and has taken a firm hold in mass culture.

What the gender warriors probably meant is that all rapists are men. Not only do men have a monopoly on rape, they also have a near-monopoly on mugging, grievous bodily harm, warmongering, torture and crimes against humanity. Illogical people might therefore be led, by the same upside-down syllogism, to think that all men are awful and the root of all evil. Many do, and increasingly.

Even little children sense this prevailing orthodoxy in the playground. I will never forget the moment my nine-year-old daughter told my four-year-old son that men do all the bad and cruel things in the world and are wicked. But not girls. The poor little fellow looked at her in shame and horror. Since then he has been growing up in a climate of increasing misandry, the opposite of misogyny.

Thursday [11 and 12]

(1000) Morning all … looks bright out there. (1158)

 

12. Bergen-Belsen Concentration Camp

Bergen-Belsen or Belsen, was a Nazi concentration camp in what is today Lower Saxony in northern Germany, southwest of the town of Bergen near Celle. [Wiki]

Steve on its liberation:

Was listening to Gilbert King, a gunner with 249 (Oxfordshire Yeomanry) Battery RA, whose unit was the first to enter Bergen-Belsen on this day in 1945. Can’t imagine what he saw – I went there in 1984 when it was a different place altogether. My Dad was there in 1947 when he was posted to a former SS Panzer Barracks in Munsterlager. He just shook his head when I mentioned I’d been there during my time at the Bergen-Hohne Training Area.

Small clarification, the first allied soldiers at Bergen-Belsen on 15 April 1945 were SAS looking for one of their own. A local had told them a British soldier was being held at the camp and it turned out it was the man they were looking for, SAS Trooper Jenkinson. What they found went up the chain of command and the nearest unit was sent to investigate. That unit was Gilbert King’s the anti-tank battery.

11. Housekeeping

Thu 10 is the first post so far at HQ requiring a page break or “read more” prompt … I plan a few, at intervals, not that often … today’s was just an experiment, as the WP compose system does not offer “read more” in the compose options bar. Eventually I found how it could be done.

The messy part is that it first requires a reader to click on the heading in green, which therefore requires a prompt, in green, below the excerpt … clicking the post heading then takes the reader to the stand-alone post page, which then requires clicking on the “2” below in green to complete reading the article.

It’s messy only for occasionals and stumble-upons … regulars will soon see how it works. Most posts will still operate the regular way … using the “day and number” format, where I manually control the whole-post length, thereby not requiring “read more” breaks.

The EU Constitution is incompatible with ours

Frequently it is claimed that England has no written constitution. We often hear quoted the doctrine ‘No parliament may bind its successor’. It is used to imply that there are no constitutional obligations limiting Parliament’s power. If this was true there would be no effective constitution. The sovereignty of Parliament would be unlimited.

King John was bound by the most famous constitutional instrument the world has seen the Magna Carta. The Stuart Kings were displaced in favour of the constitutional settlement of the Glorious Revolution and the resultant Bill of Rights of 1689, still in force.

To suggest we have no written constitution is a fallacy. We have an ancient and splendid Constitution much of which is written and it defines the limits of Parliament’s powers. Key documents include Magna Carta 1215, the Petition of Rights 1628, the Declaration and Bill of Rights 1688/9, the Coronation Oath Act 1689, the Act of Settlement 1701 and the Treaties and Acts of Union of 1706/7. All of these place legal duty upon those who govern.

Thursday [5 to 9]

(0628) Morning all, went back to bed. (0644)

 

9. Statue of Pammy


8. Education the other side of the pond


7. Ellie Hodges on X on 16s voting

She’s one of these gals like Jess Gill, on the right side:

”I’m 16, and honestly, I’m not surprised that the teachers’ union has branded Reform ‘racist’ and ‘far right.’ Throughout my time in the education system, I’ve seen firsthand how people around me form their views based on what they’re told in assemblies and by teachers, without hearing both sides of the debate. This kind of influence directly shapes future voting patterns, which is exactly why I’m TOTALLY against votes for 16. Education is already heavily politicised — imagine how much worse it could get.”

6. This on VPNs was over at OoL


5. Newsom claimed crime down in California

Justine Bateman: This is a lie. I’ve lived in LA for a long time and there have never been so many home robberies as there have been since you took office. It’s one of the reasons insurance companies have left the state (after your ins commissioner would not allow them to raise rates), due to having to cover this incredible volume of home robberies.

Razimus: Those who live in California know the past 5 years have been the worst in crime since the gold rush of 1848. Cops don’t show up unless it’s an extreme crime, something over the top, otherwise they’re too busy due to too much crime.

El Jefe Guapo: Total B.S! FBI changed the requirements for NIBRS (system that cities report crime to) in 2021, requiring more detail in the reports. The big blue cities said “it will take us several years to upgrade” and stopped reporting crime, just in time for “Joe Biden’s” first year.

And so on.

Maundy Thursday [1 to 4]

4. Was there not a binding referendum on this in 2016?


3. DAD at 1023

a) After much procrastination and Algeria expelling 12 French officials, Paris has decided to retaliate by recalling its ambassador and declaring 12 Algerian officials personae non gratae on French soil.

b) Members of the World Health Organization (WHO) have agreed the text of a legally binding treaty designed to better tackle future pandemics.

c) One week after an event was held in support of Marine Le Pen […] a rally organised in Paris against the ideas of the Rassemblement National (RN)—a failure, even by the organisers’ own admission.

d) Trade war fallout: Cancellations of Chinese freight ships begin as bookings plummet.
