There’s an increasing issue on youtube … not just AI with its dislocated sentences and subtitles but the format of the presentation, the chosen voices … I can’t pinpoint it exactly but it has a very MSM feel … reassuring, persuading and assuaging voices, combined with mood music … it is no longer a short documentary in a straightforward way, unadorned.
The least bad I could find on the Nissen hut had almost no comments … ho hum.
We really did need to have this episode to follow on from yesterday’s, whilst we still can. There was one with the episode broken into four parts … one part naturally missing … there are some very nasty people around just now.

IYE’s expose of Spencer Pratt notwithstanding:
And suddenly Spencer Pratt is a hero. 🙄
Try looking into these guys backgrounds before engaging in hero worship. He’s aptly named, imo. A reality TV personality.

… that notwithstanding, the broader point is:

a) ‘This is unheard of’ – Paris police officers go on strike following PSG riots, will only perform emergency rescues. “The justice system is attacking us like never before,” one officer said.
b) Pope Leo XIV visits Spain as a secret pact threatens the Valley of the Fallen. Fresh revelations about a secret accord between the Archbishop of Madrid and the Socialist government…. (JH: I went there with two Canadian girls, to Valle de los Caidos and El Escorial. The communists trying to erase the Spanish heartland)
c) Also Spain: The secretary-general of Vox’s parliamentary group in Congress, José María Figaredo, has said the corruption cases surrounding Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez are “closing in” on him and predicted the affair would end with the premier behind bars.
d) The world’s oldest Christian state is going through difficult times. This is not the first time: Armenians seem marked by suffering. Surrounded by Turkey and Azerbaijan, led by an anti-Russian prime minister….

(0453) D Day again. (0521)
At NOWP 1404:1 is IYE with D Day footage. Last post last evening (n16) was Steve. Here are some more.
(1606) Was hoping that all the construction, deliveries etc. would be over for the day but they’re not … waiting on another now till about 1800. Messes with the site. (1747) Delivery delivered, cream-crackered here, shall snooze then do some more.
16. D Day with Steve
Operation Overlord was one of several operations that took place on the 6th June 1944. Operation Neptune, the naval phase that preceded the Battle of Normandy, was massive with near-on 7,000 vessels involved.
But what of Operation Deadstick? Well that was last night, 82 years ago, which began at what was then RAF Tarrant Rushton, in Dorset. You cycle by these places when you’re a kid, not knowing what went on there all those years ago – in my case 25 years or so before when me and my mates found it, covered in grass with a few wooden huts, windows broken.
It was the place and the time where gliders sat waiting, for the soldiers of D Company, 2nd Battalion, Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire Light Infantry, 6th Airlanding Brigade. Commanded by Major John Howard. You can read an amazing account of it here:
As an aside the actor Richard Todd, who played Guy Gibson in The Dam Busters, was a lieutenant in 7 Para and was given a field promotion to captain during the action at ‘Pegasus Bridge’.
Apologies that link is D Company Battle Order, 1st June 1944. This is the correct one:

The Monthly Film Bulletin wrote:
“Unpretentious East-West espionage story in a continental setting. The locale and atmosphere are fairly convincing and the plot is adequately sustained, but credibility is ignored towards the end, when a prowler is loose in the well-guarded grounds and, although armed with a rifle with telescopic sights, fails to kill at twenty yards range.”
Kine Weekly wrote:
“The picture, which, incidentally, far from flatters Military Intelligence, is little but talk for the first hour. Wayne Morris, sound as the roughly handled Tom, Norman Wooland, all agog as Cleaver, and Tilda Thamar, Mary Mackenzie and Marjorie Stewart, suitably contrasted as the women, try to keep the conversation clear and crisp, but it is only during the last 20 minutes that sparks fly. The denouement is, however, first rate theatre and gets the headline hokum over.”
TV Guide wrote, “the intriguing story suffers from inefficient production techniques.”

4. Christine’s post illustrates an issue at X
The problem at X, formatting wise, redacting wise, is that it post comments under posts in isolation, out of context, which then requires some site admin to do this above in order to get each piece of the post and discussion together, one under the other. Not sure if Nikita Biers or whoever does the coding can fix it.

a) The Breizh Kebab restaurant opened its doors on April 30, 2026, on Avenue de La Perrière in Lorient (Morbihan). “For several years, we had a stand at the Interceltic Festival,” explains Paola Manso, the manager. “Initially, we made classic kebabs, and one day, our supplier ran out of meat and gave us some pork….

… plus a few food investigations … best we post them than not post them.
There are going to be those, especially those of a certain age, who are not going to like my “AI” treatment of D Day on the site … because of AI itself, because of the water guzzling data centres … maybe because of the US-centric take, compared to our European usual.
I say it’s not a bad overview and we need to commemorate the day, drawing in all our allues and reflecting on what was being fought over … was it not the West itself, even Christendom?
I would say the main tragedy of June 6th, 1944, was that over the next 82 years, it was almost all lost to Woke Fabianism, to the destructive politics warned about in the early 50s, e.g. by Senator William Jenner, through to Enoch Powell over here. Entrenched treachery which was going to destroy the West one way or another … slowly at first, then in a flood near the end.
