“Why do you think ALL the police commissioner roles are being dissolved? How many of them actively know about grooming gangs, the who’s who on the payroll at a minimum. It’s a lot easier on the public eye to make them all redundant than arrest them en masse and put the frighteners in the minions that they control. Although there’s going to be some very nervous people in these establishments. Watch new revelations come out daily now. The Art of War – EO 13818 in full swing!”

No, I’m not running The Animals’ iconic version yet again but I did explore the history of the song on youtube … which was most interesting … all about Alan Lomax, Dylan, other versions and it traced the song back to 1937, 1934, with references in the 1860s and early 1900s …
… but then if you go to the Wiki entry, it broadens it to Britain and Europe and goes back centuries. That’s when I could see no great percentage in pursuing it as a standalone post, except for some curious asides along the way.
Alan Lomax’s father was heavily involved in Americana, became involved with The Library of Congress on that score … but … and it’s a big butt … he was also fired and blacklisted for being an out and out communist (post war McCarthy’s time). A communist concerned with Americana?
Also throw in Pete Seeger, ultraleftist, with the song ITHOTRS and it gets murkier. Go back even further to Papa Lomax teaching at university in Texas but the governor of the state firing him and others, only for the governor to be impeached and sacked, only for his wife to become governor and Lonax teaching again at university … and the story broadens.
And what of the song? Well if you have a female singer, female version, it means one from a brothel … but if a male version, then a den of iniquity … booze, gambling … the stuff of legendary folk ditties.
My feeling is that for centuries, so many people used it for their own purposes, framed the way they wanted.
So I shan’t run a standalone post on it. ☺️

That’s transliteration of the Russian song by the group Chaif (USSR dissident, iconic Uke/Russ musical band) from decades ago and the extended line says: “Cry for him while he’s still alive, rather than after his dead.” It’s an “ochen narodni” song, meaning a real heartland song there, as you can see from the concert in their latter years, with a new youth following.
One of the lines, in fact the opening few words of the song, the chorus in fact, are: “Za’chem teb’ye znat?” which roughly translates as “for what for you to know” or “why know”?
And that question is the one I ask myself often, especially as we bring you the collected grim world news in an effort to stay up to speed as a news service but also to delve, go down rabbit holes, in order to get to the truth. Somehow, it seems, like Tina Peters, that we must.
So there are all the normies and wokerati out there, quite oblivious to the truth, they know many are unhappy with things, they blame “far right malcontents” for stirring things up, not accepting the narrative to oblivion. After all, the Beloved Leader has said the far right are the enemies of the state.
So I ask the question yet again … zachem tebye znat? For what purpose for you to know? Why upset you, reader, when you can head for oblivion oblivious, like cattle to the slaughter?
And a perfect example is that, in the light of a recent post in which I ask just how aware people are that they’re about to be slaughtered … along came the 10th anniversary of Bataclan, yesterday.

There are all sorts of warnings people neither see nor heed.
So that question again … za chem tebye znat?
