“An inconvenience is an adventure wrongly considered; an adventure is an inconvenience rightly considered.”

Yesterday, starting with IYE at 0647, and finishing just after 2020 with Redacted, was actually an exercise in administration, rightly considered. We think of bureaucrats as mindless, pitiless automatons within an ideology but I’ve seen examples, within the very monoliths we’re calling ou,t of “good” bureaucracy … orderly storage for example such that an authorised person can enter and access … manually.

And it’s the manual bit which is the key. IYE has a store of files only he can access … better I can’t so that there is never a question raised such as yesterday’s at 0647 … “need to know” in other words.

Similarly, we have files too, dotted around in known places … known to those with memories and/or orderly habits. And spread onto different devices, not all kept at the same venue.

Quiz question … do you recall the url of that HQ page I set up for “longs” yesterday, linked in the sidebar? Now deleted, that link, from the sidebar? But the page itself was never deleted. Pity if you cannot recall or you did not store because at the end of that link is a second link, called Mike Davis on X. And if you click on that, it takes you to his X account.

But it also takes you to a raw text store LPHQ001, where you’d find Mike’s post on the raid on Mar-a-Lago and it’s implications.

Part two of that is here:

“Maybe there is a reason Bill Barr consistently knifed Trump after the Mar-a-Lago raid, pretending Trump committed espionage by having his (damning Crossfire Hurricane) presidential records the Presidential Records Act allowed Trump to have? Bill Barr should explain himself. And

@CIADirector John Ratcliffe, who served as Trump’s DNI at the end of the first administration, was terrific. He finished the job

@RichardGrenell and

@Kash_Patel started in declassifying and releasing Crossfire Hurricane.

Trump was surrounded by numerous traitors. The problem is that he is still surrounded by many of them who are hiding & pretending much better now.

@LauraLoomer is seemingly the only one doing a decent job exposing them. Glory Bee commented You left out that Trump had to deal with the disaster who was his first AG, Jeff Sessions, who recused himself as AG then resigned. That, along with Chris Wray, set him back significantly.”

……

News through that Toodles has also dropped a “long”, so must go have a look.

All right … she has dropped three in. One is connected to this old post:

Tuesday [6 to 10]

… so is best left in situ, methinks. There’s a second at HQ which can just sit where it is as well.

But I’m going to transfer Toods’s third in the same way I transferred Redacted’s longs last evening as it’s not about IYE per se but a long reflection on another matter … exactly the type of long which fits into the UHCWP category..

Thus you’ll find, by glancing at our sidebar here for now … two of Toodles’s new comments at the link panel above, inc. heartfelt feelings for IYE’s little doggy …

… plus her third comment, a long, over at UHCWP, here:

Reader longs [001]

……

Bottom line is that nothing is lost. Method was to copy Toods’s long, put it in L001 at UHCWP, save, double check it’s there, take the url and come back to HQ, paste the url in the already selected comment panel, save. That’s all it was.

……

“Comments open” facility in Settings, in the guts of HQ … changing 6 days to 5 days and there’s reason for this … namely that I can keep a weather eye open for any other removal of comments such as that noticed by IYE yesterday, and can act sooner.

It all sounds more complicated in the explaining than it is in Real Time … it’s been tested now, this morning, it works, with one very nice surprise … WP itself have every comment here as a url. Both those panels above are there because I took the specific comment url and pasted as a panel.

Sadly, deleted comments don’t have that anymore, i.e. if an external miscreant deleted them … they are, sadly, gone from the hard disk. That miscreant knew that and I therefore know it too.

This is precisely why I use a combination of manual removal of spam, plus a blacklist facility, rather than anti-spam programme. I trust neither McAfee nor Avast for example … I have the spam programme right there if needed, I can invoke it at any time, plus WP itself have universal spam settings.

……

It does come down, in the end, to systems => bona fides => trust. That’s especially so with the real world analogy of Obama-Trump-Epstein, say, plus every pundit purporting to be a “good” person. IYE mentioned yesterday that someone who would remove two comments about a little doggy is a *&£#£&* type of nasty person (if it was a person).

My comment is yes, quite agree … but we know such people are psycho, conscienceless … we’ve seen them in operation. And don’t forget the “banality of evil” … bureaucracy in particular. It takes humans to gum that up, to make it a real pig’s breakfast.

Thank Goodness.
