“We all know about these long chain molecules called forever chemicals. What I didn’t know was the where, the who and the when of them and how they were inflicted upon us by corporations who knew of their toxicity. The linked utub opened my eyes to all of the above but surprisingly taught me that djt has reversed some of the recent advances in reducing our exposure. Some of his appointees have history with the corporations accused of serious crimes. | https://youtu.be/Y0lsLnXX4U8?si=URzD2iungJOJRWqb | Please don’t think that I am some green activist by putting this here, I just want to turn on the tap for fresh, clean water, to cook in pans which won’t make me sick and to eat food which won’t poison me.”
My two bob’s worth (to employ and antiquated expression):
Back in my university days as a student, not so very long after the student uprising in Paris, there were the students, yes, green up to their gills in both adopted colours Green and Red but also green as to why we were not universally loved when all we wanted was to ‘save the planet’.
Then there were the Old Labour working class (Jarrow March etc.), led by Union Leaders who were often Scottish but also often Scargill types … they became quite well off, as do the Islington set today. My comment is that nothing was quite as it seemed, nor was Maggie, with her son in Africa, not unlike Ginge and Whinge today.
To say that the landed gentry were not Green is not correct … for example, North Yorks heather which requires burning off for regrowth … yet the enemy at one point was the Duchy of Lancaster which had authorised the cutting off of heather to sell to some Dutch firm … huge swathes of it … those up in arms were certainly not the Left, Labour … they were dyed-in-the-wool Conservative Party.
What Andy brings up with an apology needs no apology as his concern is a universal concern to us … but not to the ideological Net Zero Wokerati. Pantomime theatrics in politics has all members of what become designated parties or camps all believing the whole manifesto … officially … when shades of opinion are nothing of the sort.
And so to this about … well, the opening blurb:
… and sshots:
… hint at the issue. The youtube itself (1.51) sets it out, the presence of the Patriarch suggesting it was not driving Christians out but driving tourists in … see what you think.
And yet it’s not far from Alexandria which has a quite loaded history, both mystically and in ancient history, lending it’s name to the Alexandria of east coast USA. Plus I still say the aim is to divest it of sanctity, just as with Notre Dame.
Bottom line … it’s not quite as clear ut as the clickbait headline would have us believe. And I’m saying that as one who’s clearly pro-Christian.

a) More bizarre rulings from the ECHR. On June 12, the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) issued a judgment finding the Czech Republic guilty of a “violation of respect for private life” in a case involving one of its nationals who identified as “non-binary.”
b) Some German Green party members also have bizarre ideas. Should Germany’s AfD voters be refused organ donations? A Green Party politician launches a controversial survey on X.
c) EU climate bizarre plan: more taxes, fewer jobs, no debate. Even after green parties lost big in the elections, Brussels is pressing ahead with policies most voters didn’t choose.
d) J D Vance says… [This is not bizarre]Look, I’m seeing this from the inside, and am admittedly biased towards our president (and my friend), but there’s a lot of crazy stuff on social media…..

As these two are American vlogger, they have loud “music” drowning out the presenter as usual … I do wish American producers would stop this. Nevertheless, the topic is interesting enough to run and the graphics might get you through.
(0808) Morning all … looks to be a hot one coming up. (0849)
5. The factions within the “good side”
If you’d accept that those against foreign takeover of the west, abuse of the underaged and elderly, against net zero etc. etc. are the “good guys” … there is still a major rift between those stating roughly what Redacted has in comments v those who think Trump does need to wipe out amap of the military capacity of Iran.
The other faction points to the plan for Greater Israel, Askenazi, Khazar. And so it goes on. There’s a third faction which we could call sovereign nations, of which I’m a supporter … thus Britain or MAGA as the main concern but we’re still not out of the woods even then.
One type of Christian says he’s of the kingdom of God, the triune God … therefore he has no truck with things of the world, such as nations, every demon welcome. The other type of Christian says render unto Caesar that which is Caesar’s. Also, the act of not resisting evil, as in physical invasion, destroys the underpinning Christianity which was a main driver forming the West. Do you stand watching a monster destroy your family because you’ve misinterpreted “love everyone”?
Then we come to this below … the biggest dividing point between those for the West as it was:
Were you to explore everything from the Barbary white slavers to Munich Games to Twin Towers (my feeling is they were used by the cabal behind Bush), to how many other atrocities … how about the Janjaweed in Darfur … what is the common connecting factor? Or the massacres of Christians in Nigeria?
Yet a decade and a half ago, TR was saying that while Mark Collett and Laura Towler were “no, no, it’s P*kis themselves, nowt to do with the death cult”. Er … sorry … that only partly suffices … to say it’s just Somalian tribalism or just P*ki or just Janjaweed, really does ignore the single connecting factor.
And if we state that publicly, we’re swatted and jailed, whereas to say it is, say, just Somali tribalism … that doesn’t get as severe an overreaction. I also do not disagree with Redacted, with IYE … this thing is not zero sum. We can also throw in western rapists, paedos and murderers, plenty of those, before even looking at globopsychosickos.
Just to take one random atrocity … Port Arthur, Tasmania … the mass shootings … Jihadi? Nope. P*ki? Nope. Indian? Nope. It was a manchurian asset sent out, just as so many “random” shootings have been. What of WACO?
This thing, as mentioned, is hardly zero sum.
Which does not negate the threat of jihadis in the least.

a) According to Le Figaro, the 2025 Paris Air Show, inaugurated this Monday by Prime Minister François Bayrou, was marked by a diplomatic incident: Israeli President Isaac Herzog denounced the French government’s decision to close [and block off] Israeli stands as “scandalous.”
b) DJT is not keen on Macron: he writes…. “Publicity seeking President Emmanuel Macron …..
c) French MPs have voted to enshrine in law a ban on mayors celebrating marriages between French nationals and individuals facing deportation.
d) In a profile published in 2024 on the ‘Émile Magazine’ website, the new head of the Scouts and Guides of France declared that she was Lesbian and had a child.
(0348) Looked out of the kitchen window and there, right in m’face, was a half moon … now, maybe she was just being modest behind a covering cloud, who knows? Light coming up now out there.
We are not islands
We are rocks to a point … but for others … otherwise, it’s navel gazing nothingness. There’s definitely something going on … I don’t fully understand what, but know it’s important that we do it.
Immediately, I search files for this:
Your tuppence halfpenny worth might not seem a lot to you, next to the erudite utterings of others, but I assure you they’re important. I was just written to about Steve … something he wrote … the way he waxed lyrical on a couple of things … it applies to each of you. I don’t see any point to this blog if it does not slot into the online world in some away, across the globe … it’s our own globalism.
We don’t need to all like t’others, we need to pay it some mind, then onto our next tasks … that’s all.
Ok, I’m trying for the second sleep now while I can, put in three hours if I can. Hoping you are following your system too, creating stability … cumulatively … somehow, it’s a bulwark against the forces of wrong.

So what gives with Caitlin C constantly knocked over, gouged, slapped and the officials just remonstrate slightly with the black beech trees doing it? Is it meant to get a race war going? Is it all theatre? Didn’t look theatre to me on her.
Does the WNBA think that, like wrestlemania, that gets b*ms on seats to pay their payouts? What gives?
18. Leftwing demarcations
Many called communist beg the question … what sort? Which sect, group, European? American? Fabian’s an overused word too … would you call GB Shaw one? Tawney? AJP? Blair? Norman Geras? Stephen Pollard?
The further I distance myself from that whole philosophical and psychological claptrap which I was right into in the early days of yoof, the more I can expunge Fromm, Freud, Jung et al from my memory, and the easier it becomes to just call them all communists or preverts (sic). The outcomes are the same in the final analysis imho.
That’s before we get onto Russell, Marcuse, Alinsky, Benjamin, Wundt, Leary.
What damage, what constant, undermining damage for no sound reason other than it was just ordained by shaitan … and then look at their cultural roots … bit of a giveaway, no? A bit like all the trouble in the west these few decades, which the Smilsum have no idea as to the root stirring which enabled them … which left the gates open.
Add the Chinese.
And the average westerner? Not a bleedin’ clue what’s in the offing.
