In which the machine behind producing films to influence the common people is at odds with what the common people’s belief systems had been for eons … in fact, it had defined “the west”. Now the demons were picking away at the edges through popular entertainment.

It pretty much started in the 50s and took off in the early 70s with Peckinpah etc., as western society’s defences fell away and people drifted from their roots … quite biblical really. As well over half our readers here would not go with my take on all this, I’ll stop here.

The ultimate joke, imho, is that “nikto” is actually a straight Russian term “ni-kto”, direct translation “no one”, nobody. Ni means “not” and “kto” is Russian nominative for “who”, usually a question.

Klaatu is the name of the alien, “barada” then remains the enigma. Because if you run them together, those words, they could mean, “Klaatu, death “to” nobody.” But they could also mean, “Klaatu, “leave alive” nobody.”

Of course, it’s just a film, innit? Innocent like every film on planet earth. Yeah.

In producing this “short”, the early spelling error aside … the narrator/uploader just had to include “shocking”, just as every “short” uploader of the type seems to do:

1. Clickbait
2. Leave anything exciting till late
3. Sensationalise
4. Lie to watchers altogether
5. Use AI voice.

Now, whether YT has those in its guidelines I can’t say, but it sure starts to look that way. Having said that though, this narration above was not too bad overall.

There’s another short I had before deleting, on Nancy Mitford, and at the start, a line appeared onscreen, saying that no AI was used, the voice is human … but then on came a smug, jokey youngish voice, heavy with sarcasm. That was the joke on us … message being that AI is better.

(0533) Morning all. Light appeared slightly at 0459, by 0525 it was 80% light in the sunroom, but there was heavy nimbus out there and there has been earlier rain. How do I know? I had to check in response to DAD’s “Test” post at 1380:3 … that response by me is continued in Wed 1 below here. (0627)

 

5. Planning any boat or shed building soon?

4. Would you prefer the official food guidelines

… as put out by three letter agencies and big pharma, on packets, or would you prefer “The Food Babe”?

3. The steal

2. DAD at 1380:4

a) On the sidelines of the Africa Forward summit, Emmanuel Macron called on dual nationals to fully embrace their dual identity: “Being dual national means being 100% French and 100% from one’s country of origin.”

b) France. Bobigny (93): A magistrate tasked with combating narcotics admits to his own addiction to methamphetamine and chemsex; he obtained his supply within his own jurisdiction.

c) France. Agde (34): After being tasered and taken into custody for vandalism with a machete, a Roma man in his sixties died in his cell after hitting his head against the walls. Witnesses described him as a “hysterical individual, unable to control himself.”

d) France. Vegetables, bread, meat… Food vending machines have proliferated in rural communities… but are increasingly targeted by acts of vandalism and looting, which cost their owners dearly.

e) France. The left-wing politician wanted to get her money back. That could summarize the case that the 13th Criminal Chamber of Paris is to examine this Tuesday afternoon, with the slight difference that the left-wing politician in question – Sophia Chikirou – allegedly broke the law in the process. 

1. Response to DAD at 1380:3 continues

The interesting aspect of DAD’s “Test” comment is why … why had it not appeared? (By the way, rain has just started heavily falling now outside at 0543.)

It may have been something in DAD’s works over there … had not clicked send … or had clicked send but something had delayed it. Let’s say the latter … he has Macron to contend with, we have Starmer, there is trouble with Ada and Eva and five others related to TR Saturday … thus the cyber agencies were delaying posts to peruse them.

Might have been, perhaps not. Either way, DAD’s drop came through. And you’ll notice … only DAD’s. We know Steve has gone away for R&R.

But there’s another aspect … Monday’s drops saw this:

And there it stopped. The streak stopped. 158 days, goes back now to 1. Was going to put up a new post, then thought nah … let’s have NOWP as a DAD blog just now … why not? ☺️
