(1705) Evening all.

 

15. The fundamental interconnectedness of all things

a. Start with this:

Just saw it was a Christian camp, only girls. Sudden flood rise out of all proportion … after North Carolina? Seems induced, no?

b. Toodles in southern Alabama wrote an hour ago that she was going out, only to be hit by a rain storm, quite fierce. They’re not all that far from Texas.

c. New bill:

d. Targetted Texas floods?

e. First of our “too cryptic for comfort friends”, Roobeedoo:

If you’re not au fait with whatever this clicky thing is, never mind … me neither … and yet some sort of meaning can still be gleaned … here.

f. Second of our “far too cryptic for comfort friends”, Redacted:

In comments here

g. Which relates to his previous cryptic comment translated into plainspeak:

In comments here

Going to run this at Orphans now in lieu of a post Sunday morning … there’s way too much text, too many pics, too many links to double up in both places … one readership goes there, one comes here.

What to make of it all? Well sorry but it needs reading in order to make sense.

h. Add Elon tonight launching yet another political party to undermine DJT in 2026, thereby handing the Demonrats govt. Remember he’s a South African living in America … go back to Roob in point e to see wheels within wheels.

14. Similar theme

13. True

12. Some naivety here I think

… look at what Redacted posted, the one I’ll run at Orphans.

Seriously, what’s the point of even writing: “The civil service needs …” when there’s neither the slightest chance nor remotely held chance of that. In fact the agenda is the opposite of reforming.

(1216) Afternoon all … time has got away again, tied up in chores, lunch … again no great film but shall look about after lunch … there are political posts but not just yet … just these two for now. (1226)

 

10. Need to come back to this later

9. Eva Marie Saint

We’ve had NbyNW, shall look around for a movie of hers.

8. DAD and the 1950s

7. There is a video of ‘Life in the 1950s’. that gives a good introduction of what I remember of that time.

Comments
a) All the types of Prefabs that I remember had inside toilets.
b) A couple of photographs of family appear to be from USA. Bow-ties were unknown.
c) Football shorts were much longer that the photograph.

Enjoy real life of my memory.

 

(0639) Morning all.

 

7. DAD and the Prewar Generation

As DAD writes:

3. Don’t forget that there a few of us ‘Pre-war’ generation left.

This is the latest comment under Saturday 3. Right, so exploring time again, back soon.

……

Back! This:

“In the United Kingdom, the Silent Generation was also born during a period of relatively low birthrates for similar reasons to the United States and was quite traditional upon coming of age. They lived through times of prosperity as young adults, economic upheaval in middle age, and relative comfort in later life.

The Sixtiers is a similar age group in the Soviet Union whose upbringings were also heavily influenced by the troubles of the mid-20th century. The term “the builders” has been used to describe a similar cohort in Australia.”

Never heard of the Builders although it was certainly what happened … they built homes, families but where does Dr. Spock come into it? Let them be bratty and have everything we didn’t (Boomers)?

Plus:

These latter ones were whom I was referring to (in Britain) as the War Generation … that is, they were born late Depression and lived through the War, Rationing etc.

Generations certainly get messy as we go back earlier than Boomers. Boomers are quite clear … born post-war, even post-rationing … in the US and Oz, they come of age late Vietnam War, the Korean were the previous “diagonal lot”, hardly Boomer parents, more big brothers and sisters.

If a generation is 16 to 18 years long, e.g. Boomers being 1946 to 1962/3, then strictly speaking … chap demobbed 1946, young man, marries, baby arrives in early 1947, the earliest that that baby has a baby, apart from accidents, was around 1970, mid-Gen X. Does my ’ed in, all this.

Thought-through scenario … demobbed mid-1946, meets or returns to a sweetheart … who knows but maybe they try to build a nest egg first, bank credit might come into it. I see the baby arriving maybe 1948. (After WW1, there was a delay due to the 1918 plandemic. After WW2, polio comes into it.)

Oldest Boomer then is maybe 76 years old right now. So DAD of course is right … long time before, quite a different generation, I’m honoured our little site here still has him. If we go 1928 to 46, we get our 18 year long Generation … DAD is midway (naughty or hopeful parents?)

What to call them? Pre-war? Silent? Builders? Wrecked? Penury? Dour? War? Maybe DAD can fill us in … a bit before my time, this.

6. DAD at 1096

a) On June 10th, President Macron spoke out against “the tyranny of news” (faits divers) and said that the French were being “brainwashed” about murders that hit the headlines and shocked French public opinion in recent months.

b) SCOR [a global group of re-assurance] CEO Thierry Léger identifies three major risks…..Currently, the only almost absolute exclusion from insurance coverage is war. Riots, on the other hand, are widely covered worldwide.

c) [The] Firewall finally crumbles? AfD set to work with Wagenknecht Party. The two populist forces could dramatically reshape regional governance.

d) “Complete Madness:” EU’s 2040 Climate Plan branded a betrayal of Citizens. The EU’s climate targets are facing growing political resistance, with critics calling them unrealistic, expensive, and disconnected from economic reality.

(0148) This is one of Pattern A … woken up middle of the night by neighbours but better anyway for aches and pains, think a bit, post this, go back to sleep if possible. Sounds like rain out there. (0232) Trying for some more sleep … hopefully see you other side of that. (0233)

3. Zoomer is a good word for Gen Zee (1997 to about 2013/14)

… a generation which, interestingly, has now closed … there are Gen Zee, Millennial (he shudders), Gen X, Boomer, War generation … that’s many completed generations you know (I’m feeling old), let alone their subdivisions.

Trouble with Zoomer as a name is that there aren’t as many, proportionally, as Boomers were but never mind. As Yuri indicated in 1985 … there’ll be a mindless generation, manipulated, brainwashed into destructive left psychoism (just look for the Hamas flags, running onto roads, throwing paint at ancient masterpieces etc. … out of control, bratty) … and yet many now appearing are cynical enough not to buy Big Brother speak. New shoots appearing … isn’t nature wonderful?

Rachel Reves … 1979 … early Millennial, incompetent. Fits.

2. Anyone can make interesting points

… even if only once every so often, even if they’re biased.

1. The constant input of angles online

… is a very good thing, providing our filters are honed … blocking out incoming bollox which we learn over time, letting through to our minds trusted info … but not always … sometimes our own trusted people have fixations we have to allow for.

And we have prejudices … for example, this lass, easy on the eyes, we still might dismiss as a young whippersnapper teaching grandpa to suck eggs … and we’d miss key points by doing so.

More than most things, we need wisdom just now and if we’re in short supply with that … then vast experience, mind open, looking around 24/7 for danger. Memory loss does not help.
