What could possibly go wrong? Where’s the oversight?

Bomb-Grade Plutonium Offered to Private Utilities for Reactor Fuel

”On Wednesday, May 27, 2026, the day after the plutonium announcement, Axios reported that Pam Bondi had been appointed to the President’s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology. No White House press conference. No press release. No formal announcement. The news came out as a leaked scoop on the afternoon after a three-day weekend during a Senate primary news storm.….”

The only IYE Bondi reference I can find is here:

“Bondi will serve on the President’s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology, commonly known as PCAST, according to a White House official.”

Experience for the role besides none? Also:

She’s going to testify behind closed doors re the stuff she got up to whilst AG either today or tomorrow. She was subpoenaed in April but was a no-show.

8. The Filioque Clause

Easy for me, in 2026, to be dismissive of the seemingly stupid reason Constantinople fell but do watch the chap’s video I’ve posted twice now. Also, remember it’s pronounced fil ee o kwee.

The eastern church, in the centuries after Jesus died, was resurrected, ascended and so on certainly had Patriarchs but the whole thrust was more spiritual … that is, the idea was for the human head to move to the heart … to come to a relationship with God in a personal way. The closest we can get to that outside orthodoxy is for us, as protestants, to also have a personal relationship … that’s a very eastern concept, very mystical.

The western church though took a different path in Rome and they insisted, the head honchos, that ONLY their interpretation was right and the only human with any authority to say what was what was the Chicago hood there now. Doesn’t matter how rotten the Alexander Borgia is at the time … a politburo elected or parachuted human, even a raving communist, somehow was spiritually divine. Think you know what I think of that.

And not just me either but the eastern patriarchs too. And that sun god thing surrounding the cross, and the worshipping of Mary … yes yes, I know they say “venerating”.

So, the only reason I mention it is that west and east had quite different Christianity. They’d agreed on the Trinity all right, no issue there, plus a basic hierarchical order of Father first, obviously, then Son, and then the HS, who or which resides within the human who “buys the ticket”.

But now the events of 1054 took place (there’s a later split in 1378, plus Constantinople fell on May 29th, 1453). In the 1054, the western pope added that the HS proceeded from both the Father and the Son … it was just a correction in western minds, a minor matter.

Not so to the east … to them, it was the most egregious heresy. To the east, the spirit proceeded from the Father, via Son and into the human heart.

So the entire Christian church split up, in The Great Schism. Of course it was not only over that wording … it was the cavalier Bishop of Rome who was the issue. To the east, the bishop of Rome was certainly a Patriarch, but just one of many …

… and when Mehmet the infidel broke through and took Constantinople on this day back then, he immediately went to one of the Patriarchs and appointed him as such. He did not snuff out Christianity in Constantinople … not yet … despite turning the Hagia Sofia into a mosque.

Now, the only “Christianity” remaining was that of the Bishop of Rome, with Mehmet controlling the east. Some might say that satan finally had his victory until the protestant rebellions.

So today is certainly an auspicious day concerning a faith which began in AD 33 or thereabouts and which had gone through horrendous vicissitudes over the journey.

7. Quora again

Bearing in mind that Quora is one of those normie, old readers’ digest type magazines, only online … it’s not particularly leftwing in itself but it certainly has mainly political normies writing and thus is prone to believing in wokery such as the African origins of Europeans etc.

This extract below is by one Steve Rapaport, whose surname is Jewish. Relevant or not? Who knows?

“Many places end with the syllable “stan” such as Pakistan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan. Is there a meaning to this use of the suffix “stan”?

Oh, is there ever a meaning. It’s Proto-Indo-European and it’s everywhere.

The -stan here is from Persian -stan ‘place’, extended to ‘place of’ or ‘land of’. But it’s a Proto-Indo-European verb and noun, and it traces back 6000 years like this:

Persian ـستان‎ (-estān), from Middle Persian -stʾn’ (-estān), from
Old Persian (s-t-a-n /stāna/), from Proto-Iranian *stā́nam, from
Proto-Indo-Iranian *sthā́nam, 
from Proto-Indo-European *steh₂- (“to stand”).

Thanks, Wiktionary. But it’s not just Persian that got this word. As you’ve noticed, स्थान sthān also means “place” in Hindi (originally Sanskrit) and most related Indic languages, hence “Pakistan”. All from Proto-Indo-Iranian, a daughter of Proto-Indo-European.

You use stan every day yourself, since Proto-Indo-European is also the root of all Germanic languages (including English), all Italic languages (including Latin and its descendants Spanish, French, Italian, Portuguese,), and all Slavic and all Baltic and Hellenic and Celtic languages.

The original Proto-Indo-European is *steh₂-(“to stand”). The meaning remains similar in many descendant languages:

Proto-Italic *staēō becomes Lat. stāre, ‘to stand, to remain, to be at, to currently feel’. Becomes It. stare, Rom. sta, Sp., Pt. estar, MFr. ester. Borrowed from MFr. into English as “to stay”. If you’ve asked someone in Spanish “¿como está?”, you have used this.

Proto-Germanic *stāną just means “to stand” and that’s how it, um, stands in pretty much all the Germanic languages:

• Old High German: stān, stēn >German: stehen Yiddish: שטיין‎ (shteyn)
• Old Norse: *stá > Sw., Dan., Norw: stå
• Old Saxon: stān > English stand.

But it goes further afield too. In Greek a bus stand or station is σταθμός • (stathmós).

stan shows up in Russian стан (stan) meaning “settlement” or “semi-permanent camp” and Welsh sawdl (heel) with changed but recognizable meanings.

The related words state, status, station, and stadium have all bounced around Indo-European languages for a few millennia too.

You’ve found one of the great old words that hasn’t changed much since the invention of the wheel! Congratulations!

(P.S. Thanks to the commenters who pointed out my ignorance of the Hindi version. I added that in. Also, it looks like the Turkic languages borrowed it from the Persian, hence Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, etc.)”

6. Procedural matter for HQ again

I tend to see NOWP drops as requiring signposting here but also, increasingly, youtubes and rumbles seem to go there … that seems fine to me. What of comments at HQ though? It’s a much better sidebar list here because WP are not skewing it, as they do over there. Plus over there, I just click on the post and see what’s dropped.

Here at HQ, I have an advantage which readers don’t … I get to see the overview, e.g. these below from Steve and IYE:

Makes it so much easier to check that I have it covered. To compensate, to give readers a better chance to bookmark, the commenter list is elongated … that is, readers have about two days to bookmark something they like before it drops off the page below.

Now, what about not bookmarking elsewhere at all? Why not just let the comments be their own archive here? Reasoning is that HQ is our most secure archive as long as I myself am functioning. If something happens to me, HQ does not die in itself, not in the least, it is in backup mode and can be started up anywhere else in the UK where MMutR cares to plug it in.

Were it to be the case that something happens to me, NOWP and UHC-WP are still open for business … they’re public. So is Jstack and for awhile … OoL … fifteen months actually. But HQ here is tied to my being here at this abode and functioning. It all depends what MMutR does with the server. Being an uber-techy, he is more than capable of getting HQ rolling again.

But do bear in mind that though your drops here are safe enough whilst I function … your drops at NOWP or UHC-WP are only going to disappear if WP get it into their heads to do a Ggl Blgr stunt. I can’t see that happening in the short term.

Is there any … um … er … any chance of me … er … having something personal happen? Well, health report … seems ok just now, about to down the daily meds. 😎
