Sunday [1 and 2]

(0537) Morning all. (0617)

 

2. Seven seemingly unrelated, unsorted snippets

They were there in passing, often within someone’s reply … still worth showing … no urls, you’ll just have to guess the topic:


Quick notation here … if you’d like to quote from this item later, please apply your own lettering, even if I’ve not physically put it between sub-items, sshots. For example, say you wanted to put a comment elsewhere, quoting Kelvin MacKenzie, then it’s far easier to just write “Sun 2c” or after a few days, maybe “Apr 6, HQ, 2c”.

If you’d like readers to know to what you’re referring, then you need to signpost well. With some of you, the unherdable defiance kicks in and you simply do NOT wish to following any signposting method I seem to lock you into … fine, fine … as long as your own method is clear to readers.

1. The issues with capturing, gathering, collating

This is for all “droppers”, article writers, long commenters, short commenters at HQ, from the “chief cook and bottle washer” here. Every so often I must bore you with procedural things … but needs must.

First issue is that sources are so often snippets … and though I’m loathe to edit, a high sounding term for censor, often that source material contains insta-triggers for censorious bots which govt and platform providers put out to trap and trigger swat teams and/or close down sites, delete posts etc. etc. etc.

Against that, there is the rightfully seething anger in sane people … those in the land who can observe what’s going on and are clearly being provoked by bad players, let’s call them. Straight to Roger Scruton again:


Now I’m terribly sorry to our good droppers here but this is very, very real and bad players are poised to scan and troll, to censor on the slightest pretext … much of it coming down to the pundit’s “reach”. There is also a time factor … I find much which is fluttering by, ephemerally, I capture, post, the page changes … chances are that if you don’t get it the first time, then it stays ungotten.

Point of all this? For us to stick around, we do have to learn to euphemise. Yes, for sure, it’s more pure and honourable to shout it in all its anger, calling a spade a spade, but that’s also a surefire way for Them, not me, to block you, block me … and send round the boys early morn.

Second issue is simply technical … look first at this quote from the leftwing Quora and commenter Brian Overland, March 12th:

“There certainly have been some actors who are not nice people and have been difficult to get along with (or have the reputation of being that way). HOWEVER, I suspect that truly psychopathic actors who are fine actors tend to be rare. Because… acting, perhaps more than any other activity, depends on the ability to be able to imagine what it FEELS like to be in another person’s shoes.

Consequently, I would expect a really gifted actor to frequently have the thought, “I can understand why a person might feel that way.”

Now, what is the state of being a psychopath? I’ve learned that it is not the condition of being evil or dangerous, necessarily. It is a neurological condition that makes it harder to empathize deeply with another person.

People with this “neural atypical” condition CAN (if properly raised) be law-abiding citizens and avoid harm to other people… basically they have been raised to clearly understand long-term consequences. Deep empathy may come more slowly to these people than others, but they can be raised to be good citizens.”

To capture those words and get them to the stage of “fair use” took me nigh on half an hour just now … just for the quote alone. Yet I can capture whole, page long screeds from other sources in under three minutes. Why? Technical barriers … one who puts them in is Miles Mathis, another is Corey, Quora certainly do it, so do any using a “block” system of text, rather than just an ordinary copy and paste.

I also nearly forgot the author and date. Always assume here at HQ … that if unstated, it’s at least this current month and current year … if not, I’ll try to signpost that. The law itself changes the whole time regarding everything from copyright to defamation but “fair use” still applies. It’s a constant battle for any serious pundit.

Thirdly, there is the nuisance of amateurs with not a clue about typeface size, for example:


White on black is awful, technically, as is huge typeface … ordinarily, I’d go to text for that but this was just to illustrate. Also, any screenshot has quite a chance of containing trigger words which bots look for … if you tried it in comments, you might be blocked by the machine, almost never by me, myself, I.

I’m thinking, dear reader/dropper, that you’re getting the drift, yes. Free speech? Well of course but at the risk of being snuffed out early? Does an officer in the field of battle wear a top hat and neon sign saying “boss here, sitting target”?

Sometimes the outraged pundit, e.g. dear young Charlie Bentley-Astor, girl journo, one of the upcoming finest or else thirty month jailbird, renders her copy nearly unusable because it’s peppered with hurty trigger words. Ok, nuff for now on this. …/END.

Saturday [16 till close of play]

(1713) Evening all.

 

17. Sigh … DEI (2142)

For some strange reason, not as weary at this time of evening as usual … even seeing Steve posting at NOWP. There was an exchange with this narrowboat gal on X who, if not psychic, certainly feels changes to the atmosphere:


There is that feeling about and it’s been a weird day, from structural mini-calamities in our abode to zero really new political things to report on, to going into X this evening and the timeline being flooded by people seemingly losing their minds … just as Yuri B predicted in the mid-80s.

Think it was compounded by massed, paid-for, bussed-in protesters which even “our” side seemed to think needed covering … I just clicked out. What I was doing instead was checking out possible films and even some Van der Valk … there were two possibles but then I thought I might check out the very late episodes before Thames lost its contract … in fact the last episode of all.

It certainly showed far more of Amsterdam, the plot was more complex, the cast varied, the issue of water barriers and corruption in high places was prescient … however but but but and it was a big but, a deal breaker … they had someone brought in to work with VderV, which was all right in itself by me … I knew, despite the spelling of the first name, they were trying to disguise it … that it would be a young woman … that much DEI I can handle if she’s good, plus it fits to a point.

So I kept watching this movie length finale until the supergirl would appear. When she did, I clicked straight out … she was not even half Dutch nor Euro in the least and a Dutch senior officer would have been in February, 1992. She simply did not fit, was quite miscast … full-on miscast.

It was not unlike if, say, they were making a film about Joe Louis … you’d not expect Bruce Lee nor Riley Gaines in the role, however well those two might play characters within their own fields. You’d not cast me as Snow White.

Yet that’s what they were starting to do … the politics was intruding far more … it had deep left overtones which were sickening, they made it unwatchable in 2025, given the current state of the west.

Sat Mat

 

Van der Valk has one of the most iconic themes … Simon Parke’s Eye Level … plus it was a good concept … Barry Foster was ok, his screen wife drop dead gorgeous, the plots generally ok, up and down, it was in that Morse and Bergerac genre of the time.

This episode, unfortunately, though well plotted and well cast, well acted … could not run the theme tune without YT interference, with other dropouts here and there, as well as only reasonable picture quality. Worth it? Oh yes, I’d say so … fun, if regulation.

Saturday [11 to 15]

 (1318) Afternoon all … just back from an action packed morn, plus I was right out of politics we’d not done a half dozen times already. As for the action … well, a burst waterpipe was part of it, house meeting etc. and then long talk with MMutR. Came back online and there was the Sat 11 item right there. (1410)

 

15. What’s the backstory here?


14. CIA docs released by Homeland Security

… confirm that Adolph did leave Germany for Argentina and other parts:


13. That ole Streisand Effect again


12. Well of course … would expect nothing less


11. The Sat 11 item right here

Right here

There are three main narratives either clashing or complementing one another.

The first is the Mullins’ and G Edward Griffin’s line, which includes the money power in Britain, also Warburg from Germany, with the Creature from Jeckyl Island in 1910 … very hush hush.

Second is the Titanic in 1912 in which four moneymen were booked onboard but only three went, one stayed ashore. All were involved in the Fed shenanigans but it seems these three had gone agin the plan. I’ve heard that one from different directions.

Third is the DTJ take in the video, which differs a bit but also essentially confirms the first two in many but not all ways … which is what he is doing right now … reversing the money power in deep ways … and tariffs are part of it.

Now, in US Presidential history, other than Washington/Jefferson, the real challenges to The Power planned by uppity Presidents were Jackson, with the Second Bank of the United States, Lincoln and Kennedy, all of whom attempted major changes on behalf of “we the people”.

Three others unsung in this respect were Woodrow Wilson who sold America out in 1913 under the control of Colonel House, Roosevelt did likewise over gold, plus Biden under Obama’s control.

Saturday [6 to 10]

(0600) Long sleep … good or not so good? (0732)

 

10. Criminal organisation strikes back


9. Abusers


8. That Byrd character too


7. Tightening their control


6. Click bait for oldies

Yesterday, one of the many items coming through was a youtube on “signs to look out for in your loved one’s final year”. It was aimed squarely at the grown children and grandchildren not aware of gramps’ slowly fading memory, tendency to sleep etc. To the young poster, as he spoke in soft, kindly tones, it meant that it was gramps’ last year, no doubt of it, so ease him or her out with close support.

What was left unsaid was that now the family could get their hands on the inheritance without having to wait. Awesome in its audacity. The whole tone was of a wokeleft branch of the deep state pumping out the “preparing boomers to die” … obvious rejoinder of course: “I may just surprise you.”

It anticipated people like me who were obviously going to scroll along from heading to heading … it had no headings, just a captioned text continuum but every so often, he’d suddenly say that if you liked that point, please subscribe below.

The points included tiredness, sleeping, loss of muscle mass, forgetfulness … all of which meant, to him, it was the final year. Now, it still might be the final year because of the “murder gramps in hospital” policy in the globopsycho west, plus digital ID, govt stealing personal savings in the EU to fund megaprojects overseas … and so on. WWIII.

Even were youtube down on such things, how would they know some line had been breached, unless they sat through it.

a) EU Parliament blocks motion condemning treatment of women under Sharia Law. The Left “so afraid of fundamentalists” that it cannot confront the influence of Islamism in Europe.

b) UK Town halls will be able to charge 100% council tax on additional properties from this month, a move that has left homeowners facing crippling bills, including on inherited homes.

c) French President Emmanuel Macron held a meeting with representatives of key industrial actors in Paris today, April 4th, with the aim of working out a counteroffensive against Donald Trump imposing 20% tariffs on all EU imports.

(1737) Evening all … have a good one.

 

25. Last one for now

Oh dear, shall explore more tomorrow morning … not good.


24. Sent by Toodles

… from Roob, from Wall Street Apes:

“Barack Obama was using USAID to pretend to send money to a country for “aid” and instead laundering it to the Cayman Islands He would then use that money to fund and train “Rent-a-Riots” for protests to overthrow governments Sound familiar?

Mike Benz on Joe Rogan: “A scandal during the Obama USAID era. We were running a number of rogue USAID operations in Cuba at the time.

— I’m simply showing the American people where your tax dollars are going and how these things are structured in order to systematically fool you and to fool Congress and to fool the White House:

— USAID pumped $1.2 billion in, and we sponsored these activist groups and these civil society organizations to learn how to use Facebook, learn how to use Twitter, lose, learn how to use hashtags, learn how to coordinate street protests so that everyone knows where to go, what street to show up on, what kind of slogans to know, to use in order to create the pro-democracy predicate for it.”

He talks about how Obama funded a Twitter clone that would be used to push propaganda in Cuba to inspire these protests and overthrow the government (Mike Benz explains how Barack Obama overthrew many governments)

“So what they did is they took the exact same thing as Twitter, same user interface, same like, and retweet button zunzunio is, is the Cuban slang word for hummingbird. So just, it means it’s it’s bird, it was the Twitter bird, the whole thing. But the whole trick about it was you have to make it look like it’s coming from the Cubans if you’re going to do this operation

— We can get into the deeper layers of this, but contractors were funded by USAID The data would then be used for micro targeting efforts towards anti and pro government users. In Cuba, the developers aim to, at first used non-controversial content such as sports and music and hurricane updates

— What was the plan the whole time? Once they built up enough subscribers, they would begin to introduce political messages through social bots and encourage dissent in this, in this astroturfing — the whole point is, once they hit a critical mass, they would create ‘Rent-a-Riots”

“You’re using Cayman Islands bank accounts. You’re saying it’s, you’re earmarking it for Pakistani aid.” But the money was never sent to Pakistan, it was sent to the Cayman Islands to fund this whole operation All this and much more is broken down extremely well in this video. This is INSANE.”

23. Reform not in a good place

The saddest thing about Catherine Blaiklock reporting Farage to the police is that such overkill will drive a wedge, not beween Farage and the third or so of Reform voters dead against Yusuf-Farage … as far as we’re concerned, both can get knotted … it’s over … but that some of us have nothing whatever against the average Reform person … we were not so long ago allies.

Now the Faragists, as can be seen from Dan Wootton’s substack comments thread are in an even sadder place … the Faragists are attacking us in a typical Farage way, whereas we are reiterating that Farage himself is the bad news in this. It also undermines Rupert’s rapegang inquiry. I’d have preferred Catherine B had waited till after the election, which Reform have/had a chance of winning.

John should resign or recuse himself from all of the lawsuit cases that Norm and his partners have filed that are working their way to the SC.

Talk about a conflict of interest.”
