Speaking to the Financial Times on Thursday, Kallas, the EU high representative for foreign affairs and security policy, claimed that “Crimea is Ukraine,” adding that “no EU country would accept recognition of Crimea as Russia.”
There’s the easy out. A European nation just has to recognize Crimea as Russian, which it obviously is, and thereby render itself a non-EU country. I assume the Russians would be more than happy to defend the rights of any such sovereign ex-EU state.

11. Just a bit of housekeeping – time sensitivity
Either the material has vastly increased or I’m ageing faster but it’s taking far longer now, plus the eyesight is showing not good signs.
Summer almost certainly will disrupt the blog(ging) due to govt action and I’ve been warning about that … it starts in June, through to late August … it’s an unknown-unknown which may well mean the end of this blog, at least for some time.
Another reason it’s taking longer to compose posts includes the WP/ipadair composing set up being iffy in some ways and playing up on me behind the scenes … even this post has unnecessary issues. Plus the ageing etc. already mentioned, inc. eyesight more at a premium now.
Things being laid on me externally … those within our camp are fine, such as our patrons’ drops, our readers … they keep us running, they’re our lifeline (more more more please). Some though I just can’t currently take on … for example, a good friend for decades is shaping to lay a proofreading job on me which I’m not sure I can take on right now … proofing non English native speaking books can double or triple the time required and this is not the time … summer might be better, shall see. Spirit is willing but the flesh …
Related to that … I’ve started proofing my own “semi-fiction” as I have a feeling I’m not going to be able to after August … I can go at a fair pace with that … and I’d need to.
RL house/abode issues are also crowding in, which lil ole me needeth not … govt yet again! Nor do any of us here need such things.
Why lay all this on those dropping in here to read these rantings? Forewarning really … I daresay you’ll also have added commitments … health related, vacances etc.
One thing it’s confirming, underscoring, is that the linear blog format is best, rather than a complex page layout … WYSIWYG, then it drops off the page, no archiving except that it’s its own archive … NOWP as well.
Fwiw, I’m a one man band. Not in the pay or thrall to any ooman. 😉
9. Airline safety
Years back, after some crashes, tails falling off etc., I ran a few posts at N.O. on Airbus being unsafe … camel designed by a committee etc. … which caused a few readers, e.g. Ivan, to be incensed.
I can’t recall if it was the A-380 or some other, plus the stories seem to have died away … maybe it was not the A-380 after all, so don’t go quoting me. Anyway, then the Boeing issues started, seen at the end of this blurb:
It’s worth noting that the DC-10 was the first airliner produced after the McDonnell and Douglas aircraft corporations merged. The management from McDonnell directed that the plane be produced on a tight budget. This saw technology being recycled from the DC-8 and various aspects of production of the DC-10 being contracted to other companies.
This included the production of the fuselage that was contracted to Convair, who was forbidden from directly contacting the FAA even over safety concerns.
Hold on, two aerospace companies merging and then facing controversy over building their planes for cheap? Where have we heard that before…

5. This is the point of view of my particular ideological gang
Political positions are like points dotted all over the graph … we’re rarely going to wholly coincide. Best we can hope for is to be reasonably well aligned on most points … sadly, the Nigel-cultists who just scored those local successes yesterday … good luck, as Rupert said, we’re aligned on many points … but important points are still being ignored all the same.
(0509) Morning all. First light, in the sense of seeing the shape of clouds out there, not tripping over inside, was 0443 today. Right now, objects becoming delineated inside. Health ok at this end. (0719)

a) France is really a ‘Narco-state’. Drug traffickers have placed a contract on the head of Michaël Delafosse, mayor and president of the Montpellier Metropolitan Area. The judicial police are investigating.
b) According to ‘Le Figaro’, senior civil servant Céline Cléber has published, under the pseudonym Douce France (Toucan), a political fiction novel in which France is “gradually falling under the blows of a small minority of violent extremists,” while “the authorities, paralyzed by fear, are unable to stem the conflict.”
c) In the Gard department, as elsewhere in France, violent incidents are on the rise. The department’s leading police union has issued an alarming assessment. “It’s a catastrophe, the world is going completely mad.” With these words, the Alliance Police Nationale union sums up a situation deemed increasingly untenable.
1. Prophets and false prophets
If I might divide the online world into three categories … user, super-user, techie … someone in my position is eventually drawn into cat2, which can also be defined as “a certain amount of knowledge is dangerous, so be doubly careful and become humble”.
In the political online world, the prime imperative is sources, as there abound false prophets, deliberately placed there to mislead the normies … but then there are sources which clearly have an inside track, e.g. Loomer, Amuse, Publius … these do know their stuff and have a staff to boot. Laura’s pretending she’s hiring right now (as if she had no one helping before) but in fact she’s had money and funds for a long time. So what, ask I? She fills her niche, end of, imho.
Now, to answer the reasonably oft asked question of who’s who at unherdables, DAD and Steve are what it says on the box. IYE is more cagey and he needs to be too, given the material, Juan appeared briefly, now we have Redacted. Afa I can tell, from IP, email and other clues, they are not the same. My attitude is so what if any two are the same, cleverly done because one might be techie level. Look, we all need to protect ourselves but also be transparent in my case.
A ggl blgr site admin cannot see IP or email but ggl can. A WP site admin can see IP and email. Don’t forget that IPs can change … ours are set to do as we wish at Unherdables, often compensating for the provider. A core pillar here, across all nourishing unherdable, plus OoL, is that no personal data is divulged to anyone by me, ever, but that doesn’t mean ggl and WP don’t have their own methods … also beware of substack.
There is VPN, encrypted, various other methods … very good but they also invite the wrong attention. We write in plain here, euphemising a bit … also in plain. That is a deliberate policy.
Coming back to trusted sources, if you see this format:
… or this:
… you will soon pick up who it is and they’ve proved pretty sound so far … they do know. Ditto Publius and Laura. As for Institute of Peace, beware of any organisation with unexplained feelgood words such as Peace, Democracy, Freedom, Equity in the org name, plus plenty of slickness and money behind them.
Also watch for symbolism at their HQ, also opaque “About” sections … with no names, just bureau-drivel … such as Homeland Party in the UK. Beware. With Redacted, who might just be a good lad with an interesting way of writing, note he uses G-d … that’s a specific usage, I used to employ it too.
You’ll see other names reposting, such as Vicky, Sarah. Vicky’s an original Kipper, TBP, then Reform, most suspicious of Farage now .. she’s a good gal. If you see Sarah reposting, it’s usually Alberta or who killed the Shermans. And so it continues, good readers.

… but Wall Street Apes:
“There is something very large at play in the Palisades fire. There was a couple from Portland, Oregon, and they drove into the Palisades Fire scene in a decommissioned fire truck. They had emblazoned this fire truck with the name Rolling River Fire Department.
— They got into the scene two days in a row before they were stopped and arrested. Woah.
— We do know that they were acting suspiciously in the fire zone on a fake fire truck.
Turns out the woman is a national weather service wind and fire expert who teaches juvenile delinquents climate change issues. They make rap songs called weather slaps. And some of the lyrics go like, wait until you see it all burn.
And her husband, the guy behind the wheel, is a convicted arsonist who burned down country clubs and rich people’s houses in a small town in Oregon.

14. Steve mentioned Laura Loomer twice
… here’s one of them:
The husband of California U.S. District Court Judge Jennifer L. Thurston, the judge who just ruled that President Trump’s administration can’t arrest any more illegal aliens unless they have a warrant for their arrest, is a multifamily real estate broker in California who caters to the illegal alien and immigrant community, and makes Instagram videos about how Donald Trump’s mass deportations and immigration policies are bad for multifamily real estate brokers and investors.
Judge Thurston was appointed by @JoeBiden in 2021. This is a massive CONFLICT OF INTEREST that casts doubt on Judge Thurston’s April 29th, 2025 issuance of a preliminary injunction forbidding the US Border Patrol from conducting warrantless immigration stops throughout a wide swath of California.
This injunction applies to Kern County, California, including Bakersfield, CA, where Judge Thurston’s husband is in business as a multi-family real estate broker. Marc A. Thurston, Judge Thurston’s husband and Senior Vice President at ASU Commercial, specializes in Bakersfield’s multifamily real estate market.
In video evidence exclusively obtained by @LoomerUnleashed@CcpSkipTracer, Marc Thurston stated on his Instagram account in multiple videos he filmed this year since President Trump’s inauguration, that deportations of “undocumented immigrants” would harm the local rental market in Bakersfield, directly affecting his business, which relies on immigration enforcement outcomes since over 15,000 “undocumented workers” as he calls them, work in the Central Valley of California, and many of these illegals reside in multi-family housing where Marc Thurston and his wife Judge Jennifer Thurston live in California.
Judge Jennifer L. Thurston should have recused herself from the Trump admin case due to bias and personal financial gain resulting from her ruling, which benefits her husband’s business.
According to the “Federal Judiciary and Judicial Procedure” guidelines that all US Federal Judges are required to follow, a judge is required to recuse themselves from a case if they find themselves conflicted with any of the following rules below:
28 U.S.C. § 455(a): Requires recusal if a reasonable person, knowing all facts, might question the judge’s impartiality.
28 U.S.C. § 455(b)(4): Mandates recusal if the judge’s spouse has a financial interest that could be substantially affected by the case’s outcome.
Both of these apply to Judge Jennifer Thurston. She is another example of Leftist, Biden-appointed activist judge. Judge Thurston needs to RECUSE herself.
The LibDem took Runcorn, I’ve mentioned Andrea Jenkyns in Lincolnshire, a straight dissident Tory, also there’s a councillor just elected … by-election win in Bridgend, Wales, Councillor Clatworthy. It will continue.
All good, even the Lib Dem, and the ground game was good. With all the will in the world, Rupert’s not politically organised and there are those who just don’t like Ben Habib, so the momentum is with Farage/Tice/Yusuf.
There are similarities to Canada … how could people fail to see? And the answer is that they are under the control of the box and radio … how many are actually online at X, Rumble, other platforms, what percentage? The thinkers and the curious do see the trap, all too clearly, but like Sarah Connor at the wire fence in Terminator 2, no one hears … it’s designed that way.
The Reform wins are certainly important in the context of prising Starmer out, which was contrived from the get-go … it allows Farage a Prime Minister In Waiting platform, ra ra ra … they can now have thunderous debate in the House and the rhetoric will flow.
Except concerning the imported army waiting, except for the state of cities and towns, except for those raped girls and unmentioned boys and goats. As more than one Reform supporter tweeted … who cares about the army of fighting men waiting to be deployed, who cares about a few girls who had it coming?
It’s all about Nigel looking good on the box, innit, making all the right noises. And that’s the long and short of it. No one will accept that underage kids cannot make such decisions, that the menacing army in cushy digs is not there for the betterment of the people. The people do not wish to face up to it. Nor to the parents and teachers pushing these evil sex and drug lifestyles onto children.
This thing is all about “as long as I’m all right, Jack”.
