a) Today’s incident comes on Yom Kippur – the holiest day in the Jewish calendar.

Four people have been injured in a car and stabbing attack at a synagogue in Manchester – here’s what we know so far.

b) Tommy Robinson ‘turns the tables’ on a Sunday Times Journalist. Nine minute telephone conversation.

9. Steve B’s chart quiz

8. My fave Shadows song

… once they got rid of that singer. One happy drummer up there:

7. This from IYE

I can see is going to be an iconic piece, so I’m running it here (from comments), on X and saving it in an IYE file at UHC-WP for quick later reference. Also one of Yuri Bezmenov’s later.

I’d been on about the AFD declaring TPUSA a terrorist group and I asked: “Whaaaaa?


6. On Quora, a guy called Marc Towersap

… was looking at bands or artists people have lost all respect for:

“Loss of respect meaning, I did like/love them, but over time, the band or key members of the band said/done things that, well, I disagree with to say it diplomatically. It won’t be KISS neither, while I liked some of their songs, I didn’t really love the band, so losing all respect for really didn’t mean losing a lot!

So no, Rolling Stones aren’t here, they are still out touring and killing it live.

For me, my opinion ONLY! The answer is… U2

Now, I wasn’t a true fan when they were starting out, I was aware of them (going to college in Colorado Springs, how could I not be aware of Under a Blood Red Sky. FYI, it was filmed at Red Rocks amphitheater, a little over an hour drive north. Amazing venue, if you love concerts, you gotta go see a concert there!!!) I was a metalhead back then, so no, songs from War and before I mostly was unaware of.

Then, I got tired of metal. Iron Maiden went a direction that I really didn’t care for.( I did go back though and realized I missed out!!!). Metallica, I did love the black album but kinda burned out on the songs. Judas Priest, while I admit to myself I loved Turbo Lover (the song), I didn’t care for the other songs. Black Sabbath, Ozzy to Dio to Gillan to ??, I stopped listening after Born Again. And I freakin hated hair metal.

So what to listen to? I am and will always be a music lover, but I do get bored, I have to find new music. So I switched from metal to punk and alternative. And discovered U2! OMG, freakin loved The Unforgettable Fire!! Went back and discovered War, OMG! Then when Joshua Tree came out, played it so much I got tired of it.

Saw them live the first time, great show! Rattle and Hum, I started to fall out of love, did like a lot of the songs, but it was a mix of live songs, covers, and some new songs. Saw that tour too, great show! But Achtung Baby? nope. And Bono seemed to let things get to his head, and that I really detested. Maybe it was an act, but if it was, he did it quite well, because I detested him more and more!

Then that whole push our new album out whether we wanted it or not. Never seen them again after Rattle & Hum tour. I’ve never listened to anything after Rattle. Kinda don’t listen to earlier U2 as well.

FYI, I did go back and re-discover what I missed metalwise! love slipknot, gojira, jinjer, mastodon, lamb of god, sepultura, and meshuggah. always seeking new stuff! just not U2 apparently!”

Thing with Quora is it seems to be about music in this corner of the sphere … largely “sort of lefty Boomer era, reminiscing” … hardly overtly political though probably agenda deluded all the same, unknowingly. Thus these would be the last ones to wake up to people like Bono, Phil Collins, Bob Geldof.

As for metalheads? That’s another post.

Thursday [1 to 5]

(0440) Morning, you earlybirds. (0601)

 

5. What’s in a symbol?


It’s an interesting turnaround, if verified. If you’ll also run with EK’s horned handsign being satanic, whatever other interpretation is put on it, plus her Knights of Malta Cross, then we have there extreme Catholicism. I do know that these Knights are dead against Masonry.

Hmmmmm … wonder where that actually leaves us? Go back to MM’s article, url posted by IYE yesterday. Curious.

a) French soldiers boarded a Russian ‘Ghost Fleet’ tanker on Wednesday, October 1, off the coast of Saint-Nazaire (Loire-Atlantique). The ship is suspected of being involved in a drone flight over Denmark.

b) A Swiss man is facing ten days in prison for saying that skeletons are either male or female.

c) Religion and pro-life advocacy are both under sustained attack by many western governments and politicians.

d) In Lérins, on this paradise island located opposite Cannes, lies a sublime abbey, whose first community dates back to the 5th century. It is therefore one of the first monastic sites in France.
