“Wanting to make peace with a racketeer named Big Jim, Scott Brady returns to Chicago and ends up being implicated in his murder, obviously framed. What better time to kill someone than when one of their worst enemies all of a sudden makes it come back? Brady was once involved with the niece (Dorothy Hart) of the dead man, and ordered to shy out of Chicago quickly, but comes back hoping to marry her. He happens to meet an old friend, John Russell, enroute, which he hopes will smooth the reunion with Jim, but you can’t smooth things out with a corpse. Things get more deadly for Brady because not only is he wanted by the law, but by racketeers who worked for Big Jim as well.
This one has some colorful supporting players in this William Castle film noir, most notably Daniel Ferniel as Gene, Big Jim’s henchman who remains loyal to his dead boss for having given him a chance when no one else would. Peggy Dow and Bruce Bennett are quite good two in major supporting roles, with Dow a teacher Brady needs on the plane and Bennett a detective who believes Brady’s story of being framed when presented with evidence. Ferniel is memorable as one of the few black characters on screen in the 40’s presented completely realistically and without any stereotypes, and it’s a very good performance. A complex B noir that marked Rock Hudson’s first time on screen, even though it’s a teeny tiny role.”
In the X post I saw, possibly Demrat, possibly RINO, possibly not … it said that JDV is not noted for his loyalty and that he met up with the Murdochs just before DJT came out with the WSJ takedown.
Need to stress here that I’ve not the slightest corroboration, it’s just something to place in some shelf space, ready to look at again, should anything come through.

6. Toodles, Redacted and the unsung patrons
Toodles herself is too modest to say but she plays quite a role at Unherdables, she nourishes obscurity one could say … she’s a personal friend, she proofreads everything after the event and spots anomalies, she suggests and notes … she has a sense of the wholeness of our conglomeration … plus I know she is valued by most of our patrons here.
This, plus Redacted’s kind comments about me are here:
… and that post is looking better and better imho. For a start, it preserves more safely … HQ is more lively, more frenetic, news item summary after news item summary after news item summary … yes … but remember that warning in May about HQ easily going down suddenly?
I know it seems a cheek on my part to move Toodles’s and Redacted’s longs to L001 at UHCWP but you see, I wished to up their chances of preservation, given those lost comments at HQ.
But what of shorts and mediums, e.g. Andy’s I’ve just transferred? Steve has some I’d like to too, e.g. on military issues, Dorset etc. Well, there’s a place for those at Reader recollections:
It just feels safer there at UHCWP plus NOWP. Not knocking HQ but it’s a rollercoaster ride, plus it’s not the place for long dissertations and diatribes.
Where are IYE, Microdave, Torquaymada, Woodsy 42, Isilme? Around and about. IYE’s archive is buried in our navbar above.

a) Patrice V. struggles with frustration. On April 1st, when prison guards at the Baumettes prison in Marseille told this inmate he would not be participating in the graffiti workshop, the 25-year-old reacted badly…
b) A two-year hiatus is coming to an end for the Champagnac Asylum Seeker Reception Center (…) The large common room has been transformed. No more salvaging the original building…
c) [Several] Countries defy the ECHR: Is the end of ‘human rights’ in Europe approaching?
d) Russia is a “nuisance power,” declared Thierry Burkhard. The French Chief of Staff explains Moscow’s distrust by Paris’s commitment to the Ukrainians.
“An inconvenience is an adventure wrongly considered; an adventure is an inconvenience rightly considered.”
Yesterday, starting with IYE at 0647, and finishing just after 2020 with Redacted, was actually an exercise in administration, rightly considered. We think of bureaucrats as mindless, pitiless automatons within an ideology but I’ve seen examples, within the very monoliths we’re calling ou,t of “good” bureaucracy … orderly storage for example such that an authorised person can enter and access … manually.
And it’s the manual bit which is the key. IYE has a store of files only he can access … better I can’t so that there is never a question raised such as yesterday’s at 0647 … “need to know” in other words.
Similarly, we have files too, dotted around in known places … known to those with memories and/or orderly habits. And spread onto different devices, not all kept at the same venue.
Quiz question … do you recall the url of that HQ page I set up for “longs” yesterday, linked in the sidebar? Now deleted, that link, from the sidebar? But the page itself was never deleted. Pity if you cannot recall or you did not store because at the end of that link is a second link, called Mike Davis on X. And if you click on that, it takes you to his X account.
But it also takes you to a raw text store LPHQ001, where you’d find Mike’s post on the raid on Mar-a-Lago and it’s implications.
Part two of that is here:
“Maybe there is a reason Bill Barr consistently knifed Trump after the Mar-a-Lago raid, pretending Trump committed espionage by having his (damning Crossfire Hurricane) presidential records the Presidential Records Act allowed Trump to have? Bill Barr should explain himself. And
@CIADirector John Ratcliffe, who served as Trump’s DNI at the end of the first administration, was terrific. He finished the job
@Kash_Patel started in declassifying and releasing Crossfire Hurricane.
Trump was surrounded by numerous traitors. The problem is that he is still surrounded by many of them who are hiding & pretending much better now.
@LauraLoomer is seemingly the only one doing a decent job exposing them. Glory Bee commented You left out that Trump had to deal with the disaster who was his first AG, Jeff Sessions, who recused himself as AG then resigned. That, along with Chris Wray, set him back significantly.”
……
News through that Toodles has also dropped a “long”, so must go have a look.
All right … she has dropped three in. One is connected to this old post:
… so is best left in situ, methinks. There’s a second at HQ which can just sit where it is as well.
But I’m going to transfer Toods’s third in the same way I transferred Redacted’s longs last evening as it’s not about IYE per se but a long reflection on another matter … exactly the type of long which fits into the UHCWP category..
Thus you’ll find, by glancing at our sidebar here for now … two of Toodles’s new comments at the link panel above, inc. heartfelt feelings for IYE’s little doggy …
… plus her third comment, a long, over at UHCWP, here:
Bottom line is that nothing is lost. Method was to copy Toods’s long, put it in L001 at UHCWP, save, double check it’s there, take the url and come back to HQ, paste the url in the already selected comment panel, save. That’s all it was.
……
“Comments open” facility in Settings, in the guts of HQ … changing 6 days to 5 days and there’s reason for this … namely that I can keep a weather eye open for any other removal of comments such as that noticed by IYE yesterday, and can act sooner.
It all sounds more complicated in the explaining than it is in Real Time … it’s been tested now, this morning, it works, with one very nice surprise … WP itself have every comment here as a url. Both those panels above are there because I took the specific comment url and pasted as a panel.
Sadly, deleted comments don’t have that anymore, i.e. if an external miscreant deleted them … they are, sadly, gone from the hard disk. That miscreant knew that and I therefore know it too.
This is precisely why I use a combination of manual removal of spam, plus a blacklist facility, rather than anti-spam programme. I trust neither McAfee nor Avast for example … I have the spam programme right there if needed, I can invoke it at any time, plus WP itself have universal spam settings.
……
It does come down, in the end, to systems => bona fides => trust. That’s especially so with the real world analogy of Obama-Trump-Epstein, say, plus every pundit purporting to be a “good” person. IYE mentioned yesterday that someone who would remove two comments about a little doggy is a *&£#£&* type of nasty person (if it was a person).
My comment is yes, quite agree … but we know such people are psycho, conscienceless … we’ve seen them in operation. And don’t forget the “banality of evil” … bureaucracy in particular. It takes humans to gum that up, to make it a real pig’s breakfast.
