Wednesday [6 to 10]

(0815) Probably light … morning all … I’ve gone back to bed. See Wed 7. If you can, put in a prayer for Old Peculier and good lady, also for those you know are needing it. Every little bit helps. (1009)

9. So much of this online now

… it has really changed from the Gen X Millennial woman can do anything, needs no man:


It’s being driven by late Millennial/early Gen Zee women, i.e. 23 to 30 year olds, more or less. This is great because in these is hope for the west … remember, these are the ones marrying and having the babies.

8. There’s an ordinary type of lady who is waking up


Still a long way to go though:


Some already know:


Thing with Sandy is … she knows things are bad but still trusts “Nige”, ignoring his track record, she’s a high up in Reform. With Jen, you can see where she is. Why am I expending so much time on this?

Women are the keepers of the culture men carve out, they protect the homefires. And with Gen Zee spearheading this now, who are their parents? Yep … Gen X, the original dissonants, the first to feel the cold wind. Real progress will come from these two generations.

That’s why knowing your generations also means so much … it’s not just a peccadillo.

7. Warning, good people

With Julia unwell with winter signs … throat, sniffles … do take care of body core temp, body extremities (do NOT leave uncovered at any time), keep up the liquid, soups etc., stay snug, go back to bed for short periods, move around a lot inbetween to keep the circulation moving, stay busy (easy at UHC), stay cheerful that we have a good assortment of curmudgeons, male, and quality females etc. etc. … y’all know these things but sometimes we can momentarily forget. As in cricket and baseball, one drop in concentration … wham. Keep the heater on low if possible, if you can afford it. For goodness sake, drop the gung ho and look after yourselves.

6. Been wanting to run something from Martin

One week till Christmas [1 to 5]

(0526) Also the day after The Boston Tea Party (Yr 1773). (0614)

 

5. The story of Pepe

… in Roobee’s inimitable style:

… but also that our current Fourth/Winter/Crisis Turning probably started earlier than most people think, with the Dot-Com financial crash in 2000 (money/green), closely followed by the felling of the Twin Towers on 9/11 in 2001 (Muslim/green). All Fourth Turnings start with a bang, financial or physical; ours started with both …

I explored and found this:

“The Strauss–Howe generational theory, developed by William Strauss and Neil Howe, is a psychohistorical theory that posits American history follows a recurring cycle of four generations, each with a distinct archetype. The theory was first introduced in their 1991 book, Generations: The History of America’s Future, 1584 to 2069, and further explored in The Fourth Turning. This cycle is driven by recurring periods of crisis and resurgence, with each “turn” lasting about 20 years and the full cycle approximately 80 years.”

“The “Fourth Turning”: This is the final phase of the cycle, a period of crisis that destroys the old social order and creates a new one.”

The marxist pattern has five stages, the fifth being the reset, nirvana, the fourth being strife, deliberately designed to topple.

A Christian view of it says there is no fifth, ever, no pie in the sky … it’s the illusion spun by the 33rd degree, down through its acolytes and brainwashed.

This was part of Roob’s post:


Soulless, heartless, vindictive … we’ll come back to this “perfection” of the type.

a) From the outside, the “Institut Évidences” appears as an independent scientific think tank dedicated to rationality and the fight against disinformation. But behind the polished image of “science at the service of public debate,” the organization reveals an architecture deeply connected to the state apparatus….

b) For the first time since World War II, there are more deaths than births in France. Demographic growth is driven solely by immigration.

c) The drug market at all-time high in France. For the first time, the cocaine market’s size has surpassed that of cannabis.

d) The mayor of Chessy (Seine-et-Marne) and all his deputies submitted their resignations from their executive positions on Monday, while retaining their seats as municipal councilors

“Never trust someone with skin problems:”

“The second of the Quatermass films (the first was THE QUATERMASS XPERIMENT, the “X” used to emphasise the adult X-rating the film received on its initial release) was allowed a slightly larger budget and benefited enormously from Nigel Kneale’s participation in the screenplay. In this film, at least Brian Donlevy behaves a little more like Quatermass ought to, though I still don’t think he was right for the part.

For my money, Quatermass should be a pipe-smoking English boffin with leather patches sewn on the elbows of his jacket. The original character was conceived as a kind of Barnes Wallis type, as portrayed by Michael Redgrave in THE DAM BUSTERS.

The movie is set in a post-war Britain that was a little panicked by the idea of nuclear weapons and even more unsettled by the knowledge that our former allies, The Soviets, had the same weapons and they were pointed at us. This was the climate that gave us Orwell’s 1984 and Don Siegel’s INVASION OF THE BODY SNATCHERS. Paranoia was out to get us …

This same atmosphere lasted well into the 1960s and can also be glimpsed in TV shows like THE AVENGERS. This was the era I grew up in, so I speak from personal experience 🙂

This movie is one of Hammer’s better offerings of the period. Released the same year as CURSE OF FRANKENSTEIN, it more than holds its own against the other, better-known Hammer colour offerings. Indeed, it benefits from its monochrome photography, which brilliantly communicates the austerity of the years immediately following WWII.

Thoroughly recommended, this film will appeal to anyone who can get beyond the admittedly primitive 1950s special effects to be rewarded by the rich and clever story that lies beneath the slightly dodgy veneer …”

Tuesday [11 to 15]

9. Generational behaviours are a good indicator

… of who said what and why, why this or that was being pushed.

I took it one or two steps further … If I can say that a certain generation is from 45 to 28 today, Tuesday, another is currently 11 to 28, another 62 down to 45 … and that the 17 year gap is a fair model (give or take 2 or 3 years overlap) post-ww2 but that it doesn’t quite work that way 1890 to 1946 … that’s a conclusion after much study.

Refining it further, there’s a case for dividing it in two … that 1946 to 1955/6 are one lot and 1955/6 to 1963, Generation Jones according to some American analysts, is another, more aligned with Gen X, more complicated and prog, while the first is still Happy Days … I’ve started thinking late Boomer/early Gen X for so eone born 1959 to 1965, say.

And I’ve already put the case for decades being more properly, culturally in the west … mid 50s to mid 60s, mid 60s to mid 70s and so on … rather than from the top of each decade till the next.

Then there’s who are which gen’s children … for example, a Boomer from 1955 has a child … when? Let’s say at 24 years of age. That child is cusp Gen X/Millennial. It’s not so that mid Boomer has a mid Millennial child … those half generations become important in any demographic study. If my preferred popular music is 1955 to 1965, then how does that place me, Gen wise?

8. One hopes that these are the first steps towards EU disintegration


7. Rare for me to put the case for men
