Saturday [11 till close of play]

(1608) Late afternoon all.

 

17. Steve’s Scottish machete man just now


16. Some news from “our lot”


Have to confess it’s a bit of a thrill seeing something working on a national and cross pond level. By the way, Sammy’s birthday today.


15. Think IYE’s gal has hit it on this

NOWP

14. Running with enough fuel, thanks

Not sure which triggers youtube responds to in order to recommend clips but in the last two days, it’s been on about “managing your last years”, “managed decline” and so on. I was talking with MMutR and he virtually said I’d had a pretty good run in rude health … you wot? My longest friend of all time said a few decades back … you’ve always escaped from romantic entanglements … interesting, wasn’t conscious of it.

Anyway, went into youtube now to check what was on offer … it had the Jackson Browne number Running on Empty. As a person who knows little of leftwing or “modern” films, it had some graphics behind the song of some bearded man running on roads, down piers, whatever, running onwards etc. and suddenly I felt the old trigger warning of what I call “being railroaded”, being shunted into some final track.

I don’t want to call it “being sidetracked” as that implies an ego which supposes we’re too good for something else … that was never, ever my attitude … my attitude is always “that looks interesting” or meeting someone and enjoying that. If some force somewhere were trying to “close my account”, preventing good things, interesting things, I’d say sod off. Near the end of the song, this bearded one stops, turns and says, “I’m pretty tired, I think I’ll go home now.”

Clicked out instantly … no way, nowhere going near anything like that, still heaps to do … I interpreted that quote as shuffling off. No objections if Above says it, I just respond, “As You wish.” But if some earthly force was directing this … I’d be fighting with my last breath, e.g. digital ID, getting caught in the labyrinth of the medical world … that’s simply not going to happen. Do you remember that war vet some years back who escaped his maximum security “care home” and made it to Normandy to be with his mates?

No way anyone’s putting me in one of those, even if I have to climb through the third floor window and shimmy down the wall. The young folk on this landing are bemused when seeing me, think it’s marvellous, gives em hope. Well ain’t that nice.

Had a quick look at Jackson Browne’s bio … you know, just checking he still hasn’t croaked it … born late 48, still going. Plus we have DAD with us a few years yet. Just checking when I met JB, he was with Daryl Hannah at the time.

Health here today? Well that issue below is still there, albeit still mild, so yes, must put a call in on Monday. Strangely, the rest of it seems to have come good. Hope you’re holding up there yourselves.

13. Two sides of the iran deal


12. It must move forward, never ceasing


11. JFK

Robin Ramsay (1948) is a journo/author, has a journal called Lobster, is leftwing but mainly on what the left started pursuing again after 2000. The left led that charge but as the ideology again became rabid commie, that moved this type of research into a strange centre left to centre right field, hence I was aware of him, have his book Who Shot JFK, in which he calls the main orderer of the hit LBJ and the actual shooter a guy called Mac Wallace.

My attitude to it all now is it matters little who it was, esp. as there were many placed to shoot and maybe did. We know where from:

Lower left anticlockwise: drain to road (underpass side of grassy knoll), grassy knoll, depository for the patsy, Dal Tex (Harrelson), other end above the triple underpass. Add to those the front passenger, driver, Jacqui herself. Also include as never killed, was thereafter under the Appalachians or somewhere else.

My point is … it doesn’t matter … there’s a more important issue and it’s from Ramsay’s book:


It’s quite a classic US intelligence prehit move but not only them … Oct 7 was classic in plan … Iron Dome switched off at 9 a.m., all security looking the other way. Failsafes off, security looking the other way.

How many, then, could take a shot? Field day of course … with impunity. And there in position officially, placed there legitimately. Except clearly some within the ranks not legit. Whoever took the security on the back of the limo off, via phone … that’s your guy.

Who is he beholden to? There we get into a chain heading upwards.

  1. 16. Some news from “our lot” – I mentioned 1976 today, the mother of all heatwaves? Also in that year a film called Network was in the cinemas, which I went to see with my beautiful girlfriend at the time – who buggered off somewhere to train as a nurse. Anyway the central character in the film, played by Peter finch, is Howard Beale, who at one point exclaims: “I’m as mad as hell, and I’m not going to take this anymore!”, which encapsulates the character’s frustration with the societal issues he perceives as affecting the nation. This bloke felt the same in Edinburgh last night:

    • 1976 was also water shortages and bread strikes followed by coldest winter – snow in November in NW England. I remember it well! Happy daze.

  2. Morning all. Up early this morning (4am) to catch the sunrise on my birthday. I experienced this day in Sweden in 1980, a place where the Summer Solstice is taken very seriously. Looking back I’m glad I went before the political class there ruined the place, possibly forever. This man is always worth listening to..
