Monday [5 to 8]
(0601) Continuing the theme of eccentricity and madness. (0708)
8. Quickly … ship the defenders of these isles
… off these isles … thousands of km away fighting some pointless war …
7. Today’s TDS
… which acronym has another meaning across the pond …
Looking at the first item:
… we see:
The CDU is the party of fiscal responsibility. His Triviality the Pigeon Chancellor Friedrich Merz presented himself throughout the campaign as an unusual fan of Germany’s constitutionally-anchored debt break. He told everybody that he could not imagine ever borrowing in excess of 0.35% of annual GDP, so interested was he in limiting the tax burden of future generations.
All of the while, Merz and his advisers were scheming in secret about how they might overhaul the debt brake, firstly because they could not give the slightest shit about the tax burdens of future generations, and secondly because they spent the months since November 2023 observing what happens when a government that has no ideas is also deprived of money.
“I have no ideas,” Merz said to himself during this time. “What happens if like Olaf Scholz I also end up with no money?”
Part of the Bezmenov four points was that only greedy, ambitious no-hopers get into any power role in the latter stages, e.g. Cressida Dick, Rowling, Rachel from accounts, various DEI airline pilots plus ATC … and they’re the ones trying to work out what to do before the induced crash and following war.
6. Before going to any of the news items
… I’d like to go back to Yuri Bezmenov from the mid 80s … former Soviet agent at an unspecified level who gave a series of lectures which were interesting to the John Birch in particular. I have the key one on demoralisation of a society somewhere on some usb stick I think, was dreading trying to find that today but then I found this:
https://www.beyondintractability.org/newsletter-245
… which is a summarising of YB’s main points on how a subversive force, e.g. the Soviets, or the deathcult maybe today, or the WEF, or China … whoever … would go about it.
There it is. We could go back to the French Revolution, to the infiltration of Masons into America (statue of Ish*** in NYH and copy in Paris), to the infiltration of Masonry itself by the “Illumined” (see Weishaupt’s 1776 steps to abolition), to the Lincoln School and Wundtian principles, to the Frankfurt School, to 1997 and Blair/Brown after the bumping off of Smith, to the current horror of Starmer … and so it goes on.
Now, good reader, in the light of the Bezmenov principles above, please read ahead for today’s delights gathered in the early morn. Have a good Paddy’s Day.
……
Addendum from DAD:
6. ….”(statue of Ish*** in NYH and copy in Paris)”…..
Member of French parliament demands U.S. return the Statue of Liberty.
Sure dumbass, when you return our soldiers from Normandy.

The other day at the other place American folk music was mentioned. I always had a problem with folk music. To my mind it was 50% protest songs, 50% hippy, 50% nostalgia and 50% good music. Need a Venn diagram for that. Anyway, this appeared on my tube recommendations. | https://youtu.be/xot0Sdx5_mg?si=dXiKHl-yYjUrMJ0D
That’s interesting as at the same time, I was exploring The Animals’ House of the Rising Sun and that’s as folksy as it gets. That follows Dearieme’s American folk offering Sunday evening, in “jazz”. There’s a post coming … but when … the cab rank is backed up here just now.
St Paddy’s Day [1 to 4]
(0507) Greetings, patrons and occasionals. The theme for the day has chosen itself … eccentricity and madness … and to cover it is going to take some time, plus I have a fairly major domestic task later. (0559)

a) Two runaway teenagers … were rescued in the Escanaux district of Bagnols-sur-Cèze, an area known for its constant drug trafficking…..
b) Cigarettes, laughing gas, aphrodisiacs… numerous illegal products are sold 24/7 at the Manouchian market, located in Vitry-sur-Seine in the Val-de-Marne department, which has become one of France’s largest illegal supermarkets.
c) The World Economic Forum (WEF) is demanding that global governments enforce bans on members of the general public growing food at home in order to supposedly lower “emissions.”

2. Reform needs drastic reform
Chris Littlewood was chair of Reform for Chester North and Neston / Ellesmere Port and Bromborough.
On Friday, March 14, 2025, 17:10 GMT, they all resigned from Reform over the mayhem at the top … this is them:
Chris Littlewood, Chair, Bianca Leaver, Deputy Chair, Jacky, Secretary, Peter Leaver, Treasurer, Saffron, Campaign Manager
https://orphansofliberty.blogspot.com/2025/03/reform-is-history-in-its-current-form.html
Chris has now posted this, concerning:
Why are people not voting?
Because they know it is rigged. Because they know it does not matter. Because every time they turn up at the ballot box, they get shafted all over again. People are not staying home because they are lazy. They are staying home because they see through the bullshit. They have been lied to, ignored, used for votes, then discarded like cannon fodder while the same corrupt politicians keep running the country into the ground.
They know the Tories do not care about them. They know Labour despises them. They know the Lib Dems are a joke. They know the Green Party is full of lunatics who would rather bankrupt the country than fix anything.
So what do they do? They walk away. They switch off. They disengage. Because what is the point of playing a game when you know it is rigged? And here is the real crime. Reform UK was supposed to change that. It was supposed to be the party that spoke for the people who had given up.
But instead? It is chasing the same 28% who already vote, while ignoring the millions who have abandoned the system. It is watering down its message, trying to sound “respectable” for people who hate everything we stand for. It is owned by two people who control everything, with zero real democracy, zero accountability, and no interest in letting members have a say. It has become just another top-down political machine, where decisions are made behind closed doors, and if you do not agree, you are gone.
That is not how you win. That is how you lose before you even start. Trump did not win by playing nice. He did not win by watering down his message to appease his enemies. He went straight to the people the system abandoned, looked them in the eye, and said: “I see you. I hear you. And I am going to fight for you.” That is how you win. Not by begging for scraps from a corrupt system, but by smashing the table and flipping the game on its head.
That is what Reform should have been doing, mobilising the millions who have given up, giving them a reason to believe in politics again. But it will not. It can not. Because Reform is not a real movement. It is a private company, controlled by two people who answer to no one. That is why I walked away. Because Britain needs Reform.
But before that, Reform needs reform. And if they will not do it, then we damn well will.

This week’s fakes from MM:
“And in other news, you have a SpaceX Dragon about to take off to relieve the two astronauts that have
been stranded on the Space Station since June of last year—nine months. You do release this is all fake
as well, right?
First of all, a SpaceX rocket just blew up last week, so I don’t know who thought it was a good idea to
put four astronauts on a SpaceX rocket this week. Is all oversight gone? There is no continuity with
these stories, as usual. They just say whatever they want, figuring you aren’t paying attention.
Plus, do you know how much food and water two people eat/drink in 9 months? Think about stacking
up all the groceries you have bought since last June. You need about four pounds of food a day, plus
about two gallons of water to drink and bathe. A gallon of water weighs over 8 pounds, so in nine
months you are looking at 10,800 pounds for two people. That’s five and half tons. Plus at least
another two tons of toiletries like shampoo, toothpaste, toilet paper, razor blades, towels, and so on.
Are they sleeping on the same sheets for nine months? If not, add that. Same underwear?
So where are all these supplies coming from? Uber Eats? Dominos? Do you really think they are
carrying eight tons, or the equivalent of two large elephants, in this little capsule?”
Sunday [15 till close of play]
(1603) Almost evening, folks.

12. The insanity of Starmer
There are various posts around on the topic. So, this to be the UK and France, yes? Taking potshots at the Black Sea fleet? WTAF is wrong with the British Establishment? Why Russia? They were like this even before the USSR.
Is it only the minerals or is it something far deeper … in the bloodlines?
Tale of two pickers
There may be a slight problem with three of our gentlemen today … firstly, because this is not a baroque classic and secondly because this afternoon’s is not jazz as we understand it, but ragtime. Forewarned is forearmed, gentlemen.

7. Kathy’s weekly thing
“I am talking about the Online Safety Act (another great State intrusion into personal freedom), the illegal harm aspect of which comes fully into force at midnight on Sunday. Reform, like the rest of establishment Right, seems to have bowed down to this Tory invention without an analysis, let alone a fight. Please correct me, readers, if I am wrong.
Yet one thing for sure that Starmer is not going to bend to the ‘Right’ over is depoliticising the judiciary, nor will he retreat over the wonderful new censorship powers over social media that the Online Safety Act gives him. This is part of the anti-free speech war against us, and America too, that JD Vance so rightly charged Europe with a few weeks ago – those increasingly brazen legislative assaults on ‘democratic values’ that NS Lyons discussed on TCW last week.”
