Beloved and I went for a walk the other day and saw a lovely elder tree festooned with wild roses. It looked amazing and my photo really doesn’t do it justice. There are so many flowers everywhere at the moment with all this lovely sunshine.

The garden is going crazy. I managed to persuade Beloved to mow the lawn. There are more dandelions on it than blades of grass! And, inexplicably, two raspberry canes – but he dug those up and put them in the border.

And it is amazing to see the plums! We are going to get a good crop, by the look of it. In fact, I may have to take off some of the little green plums so that the rest will have space to grow bigger. Somewhere I have a recipe to make faux olives from the little plumlets.

The strawberries are getting ready to be stunning also. We have pink-flowering strawberries, but they don’t usually give very big fruit. We shall see what happens this year.

9. IYE/Karli Bonne double

8. IYE talks legs, I talk cochlea

JH: This is very much one I’m concentrating on, coupled with always “walking down corridors”, i.e. arranging the abode so that it’s almost an obstacle course … with handholds. Even our outside stairs are a virtual corridor, with handrailing. Lower legs, feet, cochlea in ear … pay attention to them.

7. Another of these “as it is here …

… so it is downunder” items:

A bit sad, this one. Many an ex-footballer has gone into the media or else has taken over a pub … Corey is one of the greatest backmen ever … not only almost impossible to get past but also a general for the defence … plus a nice guy. He’s one of those rarer players that even the opposition rates and likes.

I’m thinking he’ll be living on his capital for now … hope it does not impinge on his marriage.

6. Elon gives thanks

5. I’ve added two links, from Steve and IYE

… to Bookmarking, under Other, in the navbar above. Bemused by one of them in which one naughty organisation spills the beans on the other. Love it when miscreants fall out.

4. Quoting leftwing Newsweek

Not a good move. For a start, they run this:

A news source which runs that answers its own question, just like the BBC which replies to an attested piece of evidence with auto “Fact Checking”, which of course results in gainsaying, auto-denial, unsubstantiated, naturally, except by its own sources.

Connected to that is a second strategy called “bluster”, where someone opens with “bollox” or “nope” then makes an assertion, itself unsubstantiated, then using the third strategy … demanding, “Source?” to which any halfway assiduous site replies to look through the site for all references to the matter.

It’s an essentially lazy strategy, demanding ‘source’, employed by one character in the Meredith and Knox case some time back. I was sent a list of 100 questions … you do see the strategy … huge, time intensive delaying … whilst they do zero. Do not respond to such tactics. Because the moment you do, they just auto-nay-say and then a second toerag comes in with the next objection … then a third is posed … tag team.

Which brings me to the fourth strategy of blaming a ‘rogue element’, calling it an ‘isolated case’, ignoring all the antecedent brainwashing which led that person to that place, also ignoring the strategy of agencies having hundreds of assets, sleepers, awaiting the call. I suspect Oswald was one of those … doubling as a patsy.

A variation on that strategy is a fifth, which combines the second above … the variation being the bold, unsubstantiated assertion … with a variation on the fourth, asserting that you’re the only one on the planet who believes that … you being a quirky whackjob or else you being the embodiment of all wisdom in your own mind.

It plays on this:

On the topic of the early dating of the gospels, an example of bizarre non-scholasticism, one participant in the debate pointed out what the opposition was doing:

Anyone coming into a debate is coming in from the angle which is the sum of his own experiences to that date … he is therefore quite kind to his own side’s case, making allowances in an easygoing way, letting this one or that go through unchallenged, whilst being narrow of definition and stringent, even pedantic, on anything at all put by the other side … it’s just human nature … as distinct from unethical.

To an actual case … let’s say someone sent an article in which the writer is clearly anti British Empire, putting in big letters that the Chagos Islands were stolen from the people of the islands in the 1960s by the British govt. Uh huh … what about this though:

Puts a slightly different complexion on it, no? Leading to:

We’re now descending into the right rabbithole of international or interbloc law, n’est-ce-pas? Long ago, on the issue of the traitors Heath, Wilson, Major, Blair, Brown, Cameron, Johnson, Starmer, to name a few, a chap I used to know, named Ian Parker-Joseph, sent me two opposed opinions on the precedence of legal judgments, directly related to sovereignty.

In a perfect example of double or triplespeak, the EU recognised the sovereignty of the nation, whilst simultaneously asserting the primacy of the various extra-national courts, e.g. the ECHR, whilst covering themselves by saying that it was nowt to do wi’them … different other body, mate.

Which is sheer sophistry, as they’re all part of the same bunch, even Gina Miller. They’re all aligned, in cahoots. And that’s before the “World” organisations kick in. Where’s English Common Law in all this?

The analogy I’d use is that of an uneven playing field … let’s say a home side’s playing field, deliberately tampered with to favour the home side, plus movable goalposts.

Solution? The only solution is to be in power, one way or the other. The opposition is always going to change the rules to prevent you ever getting that power back.

3. Housekeeping

a. I’m surprised I need to return to the topic but seems I need … please do NOT write that name, that reference, in full. Our NOWP boys know who they are. What’s more, one would go straight behind bars, should plod get it into their heads, just as I would also end up there for what you named … the other is still safe in France.

Point is, there is no need to be direct like that … the article at the url gives all the info needed. In Britain, there is one major invader who cannot be touched under Starmer … to a lesser extent the EU and blks. China still seems open season.

b. The other issue is Liberty Beacon and Newsweek. Liberty Beacon loses all value in its opacity … unless the experienced reader can background who is writing the article, then what weight to give it becomes impossible. I leave it for now at NOWP but it’s certainly becoming a major issue with Starmer taking us back into the EU and its various courts.

Which leads me directly to Sat 4.

a) Hold on ! Yesterday, Bruno Retailleau released an alarming report on the M*sl*m Brohood and then appointed N Daragon as LR Secretary General even though he is SERIOUSLY compromised with them….

b) European stock markets tumbled Friday after US President Donald Trump ended a lull in his trade war as he raised the spectre of hitting imports from the European Union with a massive 50 per cent tariff.

c) Solar stocks plunge as Republican tax bill worse than feared for “clean” energy.

d) The Brussels elites were surely dismayed at how well conservative populist candidates fared in Sunday’s first round of Poland’s presidential election….
