(0509) Morning all. First light, in the sense of seeing the shape of clouds out there, not tripping over inside, was 0443 today. Right now, objects becoming delineated inside. Health ok at this end. (0719)

a) France is really a ‘Narco-state’. Drug traffickers have placed a contract on the head of Michaël Delafosse, mayor and president of the Montpellier Metropolitan Area. The judicial police are investigating.

b) According to ‘Le Figaro’, senior civil servant Céline Cléber has published, under the pseudonym Douce France (Toucan), a political fiction novel in which France is “gradually falling under the blows of a small minority of violent extremists,” while “the authorities, paralyzed by fear, are unable to stem the conflict.”

c) In the Gard department, as elsewhere in France, violent incidents are on the rise. The department’s leading police union has issued an alarming assessment. “It’s a catastrophe, the world is going completely mad.” With these words, the Alliance Police Nationale union sums up a situation deemed increasingly untenable.

1. Prophets and false prophets

If I might divide the online world into three categories … user, super-user, techie … someone in my position is eventually drawn into cat2, which can also be defined as “a certain amount of knowledge is dangerous, so be doubly careful and become humble”.

In the political online world, the prime imperative is sources, as there abound false prophets, deliberately placed there to mislead the normies … but then there are sources which clearly have an inside track, e.g. Loomer, Amuse, Publius … these do know their stuff and have a staff to boot. Laura’s pretending she’s hiring right now (as if she had no one helping before) but in fact she’s had money and funds for a long time. So what, ask I? She fills her niche, end of, imho.

Now, to answer the reasonably oft asked question of who’s who at unherdables, DAD and Steve are what it says on the box. IYE is more cagey and he needs to be too, given the material, Juan appeared briefly, now we have Redacted. Afa I can tell, from IP, email and other clues, they are not the same. My attitude is so what if any two are the same, cleverly done because one might be techie level. Look, we all need to protect ourselves but also be transparent in my case.

A ggl blgr site admin cannot see IP or email but ggl can. A WP site admin can see IP and email. Don’t forget that IPs can change … ours are set to do as we wish at Unherdables, often compensating for the provider. A core pillar here, across all nourishing unherdable, plus OoL, is that no personal data is divulged to anyone by me, ever, but that doesn’t mean ggl and WP don’t have their own methods … also beware of substack.

There is VPN, encrypted, various other methods … very good but they also invite the wrong attention. We write in plain here, euphemising a bit … also in plain. That is a deliberate policy.

Coming back to trusted sources, if you see this format:

… or this:

… you will soon pick up who it is and they’ve proved pretty sound so far … they do know. Ditto Publius and Laura. As for Institute of Peace, beware of any organisation with unexplained feelgood words such as Peace, Democracy, Freedom, Equity in the org name, plus plenty of slickness and money behind them.

Also watch for symbolism at their HQ, also opaque “About” sections … with no names, just bureau-drivel … such as Homeland Party in the UK. Beware. With Redacted, who might just be a good lad with an interesting way of writing, note he uses G-d … that’s a specific usage, I used to employ it too.

You’ll see other names reposting, such as Vicky, Sarah. Vicky’s an original Kipper, TBP, then Reform, most suspicious of Farage now .. she’s a good gal. If you see Sarah reposting, it’s usually Alberta or who killed the Shermans. And so it continues, good readers.
