Saturday [14 till close of play]

(1706) Evening all.

 

17. Interesting younger viewpoint


16. Ties in with Sat 9

The whole notion of believing officially handed down, versus rejecting anything researched … is human folly writ large:


15. Another I’d not give a penny to anymore


14. Significant events we’ve observed

Doesn’t need to be world renowned, can just be weird or a watershed or whatever … the main thing is you need to have observed it personally to list it. I can imagine those living through the war would have seen a thing or two.

a. Halley’s comet, Thursday, April 10th, 1986:


I actually saw it with my eyes, plus through the telescope … but we were quite lucky because there was cloud cover, but it broke long enough to observe. Only a vague memory of its shape, think it was going right to left and away from us, up high of course.

One of the boys in my class at the time … his father had a country property south-west of town, it was a party.

b. Probably have to put the moon landing (if it occurred):

Sunday July 20th, 1969, time I can’t remember, I had a bakelite type radio with knobs in my bedhead.

c. My third I’m listing was the UFO over a cliff on a rocky point:

It was mid evening, north-east coast of Britain, I’d retired for the evening, boarding house, maybe 1991 or 92, a hubbub brought me outside … everyone observing … no shots taken I ever saw, it was a light but certainly looked to be an object hovering above the hotel on the point, possibly half the size of the hotel, itself a mile or so away, maybe three such hotel sizes up, definitely hovering, no colour involved at night.

Maybe three, four minutes, then suddenly it took off on an upwards diagonal, disappeared, mach whatever. Just light? Seemed an object. Years later, someone I knew who worked MoD said it was not far from one of the hush-hush centres … there are a few in Britain.

Sat Mat

 

Review:

“The Jackpot features James Stewart in another incarnation of his George Bailey, Mr. Average Man persona. Like Bailey, Jimmy Stewart is the average man with a wife and two kids. Only his Mr. Potter is his boss Fred Clark at the department store where he’s a Vice President. But like Bailey he’s feeling stuck in a rut in his small town.

That all changes when he gets a call from the Name the Mystery Husband quiz show and with a little help from James Gleason he gets the right answer. He wins $24,000.00+ in prizes, but no one tells him of the complications that go with it.

Barbara Hale steps nicely into Donna Reed’s shoes and Natalie Wood and Tommy Rettig are the two children. Best in the supporting cast are Lyle Talbot, the department store’s other vice president and one slobbering bootlicker and Alan Mowbray as an officious interior decorator.

Mowbray is playing a part and playing it well that another 20th Century Fox star, Clifton Webb would have eaten for breakfast. I wonder if the part in fact was offered to Webb. Maybe he turned it down because at that point he was a big name box office draw and the part of the obviously gay interior decorator might have been too close to home for those times.

The Jackpot is an enjoyable family comedy. Director Walter Lang got good performances out of his very talented cast.”

When the physical meets the metaphysical

The neighbour’s car has broken down in an unusual way, Steve’s computer has probs, DAD also, IYE you can read Under This Post Here (maybe you can jot down, on paper, which post).

Which does add weight to what Miles M puts … and which IYE summarises from the text thus:

”How could Solar cycles affect manufactured events, you may ask? Because the cycles are known to
those who run the world, and their prior knowledge allows them to schedule certain events for that
time, knowing they will find less resistance then.”

Yes, the PTB of the universe know it and harness it. But who are these powers? The annunaki, the nephilim? How about the Triune God and His opposite number who controls the dark powers on earth and therefore the earth itself, as per Ephesians 6:12?

At this point, I’m not going to waste time with either the psychologically hardwired atheist or his opposite number … the blind-faither … neither who will for one microsecond even countenance something such as what MM presents … there’s very little point talking to someone obsessed by zero sum … that is, the notion that if X has much evidence supporting it, then that must automatically and by definition preclude Y or even Z.

That film The Day The Earth Stood Still had that nice scene where the alien and the prof both stood by the blackboard, not arguing the toss along Preordained Dogmatic Lines but rather agreeing that much unknown was possible … though not everything.

In a similar way to Miles M, Toodles is one of the best read scholars of the ancient sources and while MM will concern himself with the physical, Toods and circle explore the metaphysical in fine detail.

I stand as an observing party but also having seen the “spirit” part of the Trinity demonstrated … not by imagined support for positions I wish to take but more often by the opposite … with my own will dashed in certain matters. Just as real as MM saying the Mercury factor is demonstrable. He gets no argument from me on that … but could he countenance the notion that one of the “knowing” parties in the universe is metaphysical Good? How would Miles explain soul? Are all events Big Bang?

And astrologers? What of them?

Garden Party

 

This is to go up soon at X, a reaction to something I saw earlier:

Imagine being at a fairly large garden party organised by X … lovely weather, many Xers and bloggers we know there, suitably refreshed, chance to meet fellow tweeters and bloggers, even vloggers, aim of course to get around our friends, find out about each other … not quite like how Ricky Nelson did at his Garden Party. We each respect the other’s fine work, sounds like a fun afternoon.

So I’m over one side talking to a friend and colleague who’s both tweeter and blogger, having a laugh, as are dozens around us, some whom we know and plan to go over to in a while … the way garden parties work. Suddenly there’s a disturbance, everyone looks over towards the marquee and there’s a lovely, elegant lady who’s stepped up onto a small dais and is addressing the entire assembly:

“I’d just like to thank you all for your eternal love and devotion to me, “my” five thousand “followers”, I could not have achieved it without your selfless simping, especially my admiring men.”

My friend grins and raises an eyebrow … “She wot?”

I wince and add … “Not good optics, are they?” Similar things are being said around the garden. Truth is, she’s a fine looking gal, elegantly dressed, her output is high quality … photos of Paris, elegance, fashion, the beauty of the female … plus in our few exchanges, she’d been friendly, as had I.

But I have a “garden party” notion of X, as does my friend and colleague … we’ve a few friends we like to get around to and ask how they are today, one-on-one … the idea, though, of getting up and thanking “all” our “followers” is just not one which crosses our minds. To my friend and I there sipping our proseccos and whiskies, we just admire the output, the work, of fellow pundits … but hardly as devoted, simping “followers” … anyone ever heard the word “sigma”? Unherdable cats?

Suddenly, someone else gets up on a dais further over … a shortbearded chap whom many read on his substack, often on GB News, always putting the hard word on his many “admirers” to subscribe to his new empire, to “buy him a coffee” for £20 a month. He also has this “I’m the sun and you’re all my satellites” mindset. I murmur: “What gives with these people?”

“Narcissists,” is her reply.

8. Over at OoL

7. Eyes needed in the back of our head

6. Someone has to be paying Laura (Loomer)

General Dynamics’ Senior Leadership just told me that upon seeing my exclusive report, they have TERMINATED their contract with Clarion Strategies, the consulting firm launched last month by former Biden Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin and Hillary Clinton henchman Julie Smith, a key architect of the Russia Collusion hoax. This comes less than 3 hours after my exclusive report about the

@generaldynamics contract with Clarion Strategies, a consulting/lobby firm founded by rabid Trump haters. General Dynamics told me the contract had just been signed, and no money had changed hands. My report made it all the way to

@generaldynamics CEO Phebe Novakovic, and I’m told the company with Defense Contracts will be releasing an official statement about the matter soon.

Saturday [1 to 5]

5. Good white jeans would you say?


4. Food for thought


Not just Tucker but Donny himself methinks:


Or else he’s playing for a different team to what we supposed.

3. A thought from downunder


2. Other than Andy’s cryptic message at 1122

… we have, of course, lost the services of DAD for now and also Steve for now. I’ve avoided asking DAD as it’s too direct … hoping it is in the nature of a hiatus. Steve’s you can read in the sidebar. Before anything else, very great thanks to these chaps and of course IYE and Andy who are, as mentioned before, the lifeblood of Unherdables.

My under-reaction might be due to late July/early August traditionally being what we once called the blog Silly Season, a term coined or co-opted by Man in a Shed (see Brolls). It takes a lot of work to put together those posts at NOWP and if our chaps are to take a hiatus, which I’m hoping it amounts to, then this is probably the best time now. Dearieme used to zip off somewhere in the first weeks of September.

Having written all that, it might be something different in a technical sense. Last year, we (backend and frontend) ditched windows and I hardly use the old laptop … I did go in two days ago to look around … going nicely but only because I’m using LAN, not WiFi … there are too many variables these days we rely on, from megacompanies taking over to our reliance, in the end, on a tenuous satellite link.

Plus the OSA. Make no mistake about how insidious this is, controlled by Brussels, for us docile sheeple. My feeling is that many actually are aware but are awaiting some call from a Churchill type … Farage? Hardly think so … or at least it’s a surefire way to the new Khanate. Which is curiously not dissimilar to the fall of the Roman Empure … first the vandals, then the shaitanists. And Europe itself? Uneducated and primitive.

Never mind. There are, of course, other circumstances … impending penury, dearth of edible food, collapse of money, digital ID for everything, the attack of the army of savages, under globopsycho.

Never mind, says I … observe the massed rallies elsewhere of those rediscovering their Maker, under this duress. Better late than never. As for war … depends who’s calling for it. Anyway … 🍿🍿🍿.

1. Let’s open with GofV

There was this some minutes ago:

“A while back, before the big Gates of Vienna crash of ’25, I reported about growing tensions between Thailand and Cambodia. That culminated on 24 July in a full-blown border war between Thailand and Cambodia. After the last time I wrote about the problems, they got seriously worse.”

My knowledge about it was as a result of a strange meeting up with an old friend who’d just been over there. That’s it really.
