a. Miles and AOC

The Green New Deal was never meant to be taken seriously, and both sides know that. The resolution’s sponsor, freshman congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.), knows it every bit as much as Senator Lee knows it. The Green New Deal was designed to fail. Why? Because they want to blackwash the 10% of the resolution that’s really quite admirable by mixing it up with the 90% that’s tripe, and then grossly mischaracterizing the whole thing for good measure.

b. Miles and Vylan

I would guess most of those at Glastonburydidn’t take it seriously. Those who weren’t too stoned to know up from down probably just laughed it off as more fake politics, which they have gotten very used to dismissing since fake Covid. But that wasn’t the intended effect, which is why the mainstream had to lead the world news with it, adding flashing lights and extra exclamation points. They had to get everyone from the Prime Minister toAlex Jones to throw a conniption fit, salting this in and warning you it was the end of Western Civilization.

c. Stealers Wheel

Remember the chorus?

11. DAD with important news

Twofer on Guido…

a) The government is likely to schedule Trump’s state visit to the UK in recess to avoid the President addressing parliament. A diplomatic insult to President Trump…

Starmer Plots Trump Visit in Recess Avoiding Address to Parliament in New Insult to President

b) RIP. One of Thatcher’s most loyal Cabinet ministers, Lord Tebbit, who has died age 94, served as Conservative Party Chairman and Employment Secretary. From a working class background in Essex, Lord Tebbit embodied Thatcher’s combative approach to the unions.

The walk, the awareness

Even this girl in the clip made an error, to my mind. She got most of it right imho but when she started the ego talk … I’m going to own this space, be me me me me … that’s feminism 201.

All right, what would I say instead?

a. Ditch the ego straight away, this ‘I’ve got this covered’ mentality … no you haven’t, not with enough of them or even one street fighter or even being surprised/ambushed. Adjust to your circumstances … choose routes less likely, time of day less likely.

b. Walk quietly and fairly swiftly, with some sort of purpose, looking all about you with eyes, not head, in a confident but still cautious way, no head movement beyond 90 degrees but eye observant. If you stop, choose somewhere you have behind you covered, where there’s a possible escape route. Posture upright, feet not together afap.

c. Depends on your nature but slight grin occasionally works. There was one time, on a Liverpool train, lads get on, occupying my half carriage. Someone jokes, it’s funny, slight grin me, one of them says, “He knows, he knows.” Thank the Lord for that. They got off the train before I did. Just don’t rely on that though.

d. Space … when I go down for a delivery, there’s a good vantage spot, escape route behind, quickly rehearse it in my mind. Watch everyone with an expressionless stare, see who comes by or crosses the road, walks on by over there. Be in ready mode, watch the pedestrian like a hawk. If he comes past you, be pleasant, nod good morning.

e. None of that above is necessarily going to work if your posture and body are too soft but if a woman … neither be too supergirl … if you don’t have a lifetime of fending for yourself … Russia helped me here … no amount of advice will help.

f. First reaction. Mine is to attack, not defend … just the result of decades doing it … knee in the groin, plus straight for the eyes … but that’s not so useful in Starmer plod land where even saying boo sees you at the plod station … so I’d neither recommend or not.

g. Know yourself, your limitations … if you’re at a disadvantage most times, then don’t go there in the first place, esp. little guys and/or women.

h. Be aware that these are not now normal times. Apart from obvious enemy types out there, anyone can, even a girl, sneakily.

i. Show no fear at any time, which comes from years of planning and instinct. Do your praying as a rule, not as a last cry for mercy.

j. Apart from that, as the girl says in the clip.

k. You’re either par for the course normal or a bit of a nutter anyway … but a slight nutterness helps … wild eyes. Not nuttiness … that’s entirely different. I mean just a bit unknowable, a bit unpredictable. Sudden position changes then calm again. Watchful like a hawk. Sharp.

That’s about all I can think of.

Alien-nation

No, not the key political issue just now in many minds but rather that separation which the years bring on as they pile up against us.

There’s a chap who runs this on X and it’s a curiosity:

For me, maybe Roy Orbison … for one of the commenters, 20 was his choice, the rest dross. Goodness, imho none of them were much shakes … giving away the year straightaway … 1992. Hmmmm, where was I? Still in Blighty I think, London town or north. How come I don’t even know most of these pop songs?

Not just DAD but also Steve were more classically inclined by then … I’m vaguely recalling the advent of rap, Betty Boo the microphone dropper, East 17, boy bands … didn’t do much for me. The last good songs I could remember were maybe from The Bangles, with Susie.

(0718) Morning all. Dull out there. (0818)

 

8. Just an Op Ed

Paraphrasing what MMutR said yesterday … everyone disagrees on something, which makes toeing the party line on all things near impossible … “we” here have the same issue, e.g. on DJT, on Pammy, on Steinep.

The thing is … how major is the difference of opinion? Fundamental, as in the direction the country should be going? Also as in Wokery versus anti-Wokery? Or just fine differences we can encompass? The consequences of “one party line” Starmer, Tories, Reform is that rebellion is always on the cards.

The consequences of all these little factional parties is that none have the power to take on the bad people, e.g. Mertz in Germany, who are ideologically One Think and not split, through money or fear.

And the ordinary people … upper middle aspirants, like many Reform libdem types, inc. Farage, not interested in tackling the core issue v the common working people who are more likely to embrace Rupert and think TR did not have it wrong. Women in particular who have nice homes, a certain status, are far less likely, e.g. Sarah Pochin, Dame Andrea, to see themselves as anything like the plebs below.

What chance Reform ever holding together, esp. with the Milsum shadow hovering in the bkgd?

But more than that … we’re constantly forced, on this point or that, to alter our position on this point or that … can anyone then trust us as friendly, onside?

And it’s not accidental, any of it … confound and confuse is the core strategy of whoever Mr. Big is … whether the commies or shaitan hisself. They were simpler days when we were growing up.

7. More of the same I’m afraid

6. DAD at 1099

a) Economic collapse [in the UK] is now inevitable, says Daniel Hannan in the Telegraph, and he identifies June 27th 2025 as the Ground Zero Day when the future became set in stone….

b) Double Standards? Not UK this time: but EU. Brussels deems Spain’s corruption scandal a “National Matter”.

c) Frauke Brosius-Gersdorf, a lawyer described as far-left, is poised to become a new judge at the Federal Constitutional Court, Germany’s top court, and it is very bad news for Germany’s conservatives.

d) Like they’ve just reinvented fire. “Solid-state battery! 1,800 miles of range! Five-minute charge!” No chance !

e) Elon Musk ridicules Trump Admin’s Epstein claims?

(0345) Oops, another early awakening in the middle of the night but not an issue. (0421)

3. Meanwhile … the opposition’s new party

And therein lies the answer to the question in Tue 1 or so it seems. Who was it who suggested that the thing is a bi-play between DJT and Elon, that there is no real rift, that it’s an exercise in which Elon eventually capitulates … making the Donald seem triumphant … all theatre …

… or else it actually is real, coordinated by the very dark forces running the agendas west-wide?

2. What is the point of this betrayal of blind trust?

What did they hope to achieve, just as approval overall was swamping the demonrats and supporters?

1. Over at OoL

https://orphansofliberty.blogspot.com/2025/07/the-chasm-between-self-appointed-rulers.html

 

A review:

“A gangster, Dave (Robert Newton) who double-crosses some other gangsters finds himself in desperate trouble in “The Green Cockatoo.”

Warned by his brother Jim (John Mills) to get out of town quickly, Dave goes to the train station. He has an altercation with the gang and is knifed. He latches onto a young woman, Eileen (Rene Ray) who has just arrived in London from a small town. He tells her that he can bring her to a good place to stay, and she accompanies him.

You really have to suspend disbelief that a young woman would just go off with a stranger. And it gets better. Once she’s in her room, and he has left, he suddenly returns. I’d be screaming my lungs out.

However, she sees that he’s hurt and agrees to help him. Unfortunately, he dies, and the landlady thinks she did it. Before he dies, he gives her a message for his brother at the Green Cockatoo.

With the police and the gang after her, she finds The Green Cockatoo. She doesn’t know anything about Jim, a song and dance man there, and to get away from her followers, she starts wandering around the upstairs of the club. She meets Jim, not realizing he’s the man she’s looking for.

Despite Eileen’s strange behavior in the beginning, this is a fun film. John Mills is delightful singing and dancing. In one scene, as he attempts to hide Eileen from the police, he says she is his new performing partner.

He sings “Smoky Joe” – all she has to do is say the words “Smoky Joe” when he pauses. It’s hilarious. She is supposed to not be able to sing, but you can tell by her off-key “Smoky Joes” that she actually had a good voice.

Recommended – nice British noir from 1937.”

24. Hillary’s latest

There are certain things we are delighted to have been wrong on. In Mon 13, I mentioned that an account I thought was Hillary was probably a fan’s.

She just wrote … it’s her all right. Gulp. I’m going to be posting her more regularly now, also at X.

23. What the police are for … and not for

• DOJ Report: Epstein Did Not Have A Client List, Tom Fitton Reacts

18. Much incoming on two topics

Redacted seems to be onto the Alligator thing, with MMutR who is also on Red Flag laws. Meanwhile, Toodles is ferreting the whole Camp Mystery thing … there’s something iffy about it, also refusing info requests. You just don’t wipe out a whole lot of little girls by designer flood with something being covered up. Very first thought … abuse?

At the same time, why did Elon post a huge panel ad asking about the Epstein list? MAGA are onto it. Why did DJT blame the ‘radical right’ today? Why did Cooper in the UK blame the ‘far right’ today?

 

HERE

At two hours, that will take us nicely up to late afternoon resuming of politics again. Just a screenshot below … link is above left. Hanoi Jane’s dad is the down at the heel working class man hero in the movie. Interesting FDR Jr year to release the film.

(1220). Going to look through the Redacted movies from the other day, run one of those later (cunning plan anyway). Just now posting Mon 15, then a lunch break for the lunch cooking … tricky today so need to concentrate on just that for half an hour. (1403) Going looking for a movie for a while. Lunch was nice.

 

17. Redacted in plainspeak

… get it while you can. ☺️

”Andrew Anglin is worried about Alligator Alcatraz. He makes the excellent point we made here – that these things being built are not being built for the migrants. You do not need to ship migrants to Gitmo, and then from there fly them home. Just fly them home right straight-away. You don’t need to fly migrants out to the Everglades, and then fly them home. Just fly them home. Anglin is worried those facilities are being set up for us, but I suspect if that were the intention, Trump would have been championing “Common-sense” assault rifle legislation which would have included pump and lever action rifles, since they can fire quickly too, and bolt action sniper rifles, which would be all bolt-action rifles, and handguns too, since they are only good for “sneak attacks.””

16. Steve just now

”Remembering the events of 7 July 2005 the Home Secretary, Evette Balls-Cooper, mentions the ‘far-right’. Yeah, since when did anyone of that political persuasion plants bombs all over the place? And the Mayor of London said it was done to ‘sow division between communities’. Well he would say that wouldn’t he, since it came from his ‘community’……”

15. People truly never learn

No wonder Jesus had to come to earth to save them from themselves. This was from Liverpool Echo a short time ago:

“A mum who took ill while on her dream holiday is stuck over 2,000 miles away from home. Rebecca Russell, 32, has been in intensive care unit (ICU) for more than a week after she started throwing up three days into her holiday to Morocco.”
