… an introspective on many issues just now. (0129)

Where to start? All Saturday, I’d been at odds about many things, not with anyone else, just with myself and I’ll slowly lay them out.

First up I think, in between the blogging, getting food in now that the store has recovered, seeing the horrific things Starmer’s masters have in store, reporting on those, keeping this abode up to scratch etc. etc. … in the middle of this came the usual Quora to the inbox and an item on who were actually the baddies in the Eagles … seems it was Frey and Henley, sued by Felder for being robbed by them (he won), with Walsh not part of that. So for some reason, the Eagles were then on the mind.

Neighbours were slightly noisier than usual last evening but no way any issue, in fact our corner of this huge place gets along famously so far, which is sort of weird, given that they’re all in their twenties and thirties except lil ole moi, yet I still have to operate as I did eight and a half years before the heart attack and the end of the boat project … still doing gym and so on … that itself being eight and a half years since I returned from Sicily and Russia, walking everywhere in those days, up and down hills.

Point being made here? That 17 years which has elapsed is an entire generation that’s come and passed in that time … one of my neighbours was about six when I returned. Anyway, last evening, it now being morning, I’d been looking at reaction videos and one came up on Hotel California.

I also saw one which might be worth posting, by a girl, on women and how society has started disintegrating since females have taken over. Hmmmmm … like Starmer, Blair, Sunak, Biden, Obama? That type of woman? That’s for later in the morning.

That’s when I happened upon a real bun fight on X where Bannon was calling Shapiro a cancer … phew, back in Breitbart days eh? Tied in with something called AmFest, a conference in Phoenix for “conservatives” and they were at each other’s throats … whaaa? So I looked it up on X and on Wiki:

Certainly no lightweights there, it seems more like a CPAC … there was apparently one in 2024. Anyway, the split was directly down Israel (Shapiro) versus Islam [Carlson) lines, with pundits and pollies falling into one of those camps or else shaking the head and asking if this was not meant to be a Christian conference? Let alone my OoL post days ago on big wig, big name “influencers” as they now see themselves … I see us in this game as just alt journos on the net, nothing more.

It was all too nasty, really nasty it was … so I went back to Hotel California, which reminds me of this place I live, without the vice, plus Chateau Marmont in LA, with the vice:

… which the young people in the reaction vid could only guess about. You remember my posting an episode of What’s My Line with Johnny Carson and Tuesday Weld and noting the sign he gave her … it was followed by him banning her from his show. She was involved in Marmont, as was most of Hollywood and the music industry.

And I’ve been there at that end of town, physically there, heading for Laurel Canyon, standing at Hollywood and Vine, looking at the stars on the sidewalk. Those two young people in the reaction video were noting the whole thing about being drawn into wrong through one’s own devices … the chateau, programmed to receive, is where you can check out any time you want … but you can never leave. Today’s west, yes?

But the thing which hits home with me, maybe for the first real time … is that the world is in the hands of the youngsters now, despite our rearguard action on, say, blogs like this. Look at the state of the police today. Yet still under the control of bad players … one item on X named them, plus Steinep. They’re ancient, the bad players … and hidden away.

Nuff for now … need to crash. Might be a late start, Sunday, we’ll see. (0201)
