In the afternoon’s dark drizzle, as relentless as this train And an aching in my heart, and and an aching in my brain I’m a long way from home, I miss my g & t beginner In the afternoon’s dark drizzle, not so long before my dinner
This old station’s got me down, it’s no earthly good to me ‘Cause I’m stuck here on the tube, thinking home where I might be Can’t eat a tube train like you can a sausage sizzle So I’d best be on my way in the afternoon’s dark drizzle

Jenny Story Reflects On The Incredible ‘Save Texas From Radical Islam’ Event Over The Weekend
“A distinguished wide-screen film that honors those who served in a great British naval episode while showing generally how naval warfare was carried out in the early days of WWII.
Effectively portraying the sheer power of one of the most monstrous weapons ever devised by the dark side of the human mind- the battleship Bismarck. Battleships had a hideous, graceful sort of massive beauty during their brief heyday at the peak of war technology but went the way of the dinosaur after WWII. Their vulnerabilities are demonstrated in this film, as are certain unfortunate (but not necessarily erroneous) tactical moves by the German Admiral and the Captain of the Bismarck.
In case you don’t know the story I won’t spoil it but an event occurs around the middle of this film that has a sudden awesome shock value that can still cause your jaw to drop. It is perfectly set forth despite the low-tech film techniques available in 1960- the producers do a great job.
A deadly serious film about deadly serious heavy subject matter, “Sink the Bismarck” has qualities that hold up and it is worth your viewing time.”

a) Mercosur is the public humiliation of France. Happy times are now over for Europe. The Mercosur deal agreed last week shows an EU forced to choose between protecting its farming sector and opening new markets for its industrial exports….
b) ….But farmers fight back…EU-Mercosur: Farmers protest at the port of Le Havre….
c) As I wrote on AKH’s website the other day…
It’s the same the whole world over, Isn’t it a bleeding shill; It’s the rich that get the pleasure, And the poor that get the bill.
d) Women drivers……A 48-year-old woman’s car caught fire on the A89 motorway near Lyon on Friday, January 9, 2026. She had put engine oil in the radiator instead of coolant. It was a costly mistake.
The tendency to divide into camps completely one way or completely the other is strong in humans who are there solely to push a point of view they’ve latched onto too early, not thinking a situation through dispassionately, over time, either through a priori bias or through an agenda.
For example, I was over at Gab last night, looking around, and most on the topic were almost neo-nazi, slamming Israel, calling it a Zionist operation, while the other side, Russia, not seen at all over there, say it’s the same US playbook each and every time. What they don’t add is “thereby letting the mass murdering mullahs off the hook yet again”.
My stance, after spending a few hours taking each of three side’s receipts in, is that all are, to a point, correct. Where does that leave Iran? Easier to ask where does that leave the West … answer is stuck in gung ho camps, slanging at each other. In this, the slaughtered victims never seem to count, they’re skipped past, as Alex .
Below are various views on the situation and I’m going to suggest that unless you sit through the long, long, Alex Mercouros vlog on it, in which he brings receipts from the 12 day war onwards, not only are you going to miss Russia glossing over the massacres, which it denies, but you’ll also miss the uselessness of US foreign policy, the same old, same old again:
In that post, you’ll find the Mercouris vlog … I urge you again to sit through it if you would like to be considered au fait with the overview of the subject.
Without repeating them, please skip back to various post items I’ve done on Iran, from the victims’ point of view. But Mercouris does modify that view.
Monday 14. The issue is not whether Trump ever intended to rescue the Iranis – maybe he doesn’t have to..
🚨 BREAKING:
President Trump just dropped this BOMBSHELL, Iranian leaders CALLED HIM YESTERDAY begging to negotiate!
“They want to negotiate… a meeting is being set up, but we may have to act because of what’s happening, before the meeting.” pic.twitter.com/Y62VPDyDvf
Fine, so I went to comments and here are various examples, in no particular order:
And two from X from other people:
Just had a quick look at X and nothing substantial has changed … DJT has still done nothing.
Lastly, this word Myrmidon which I plan to use for the killers:
The Myrmidons were legendary, fierce warriors from Thessaly, famous in Greek mythology as the loyal army of the hero Achilles during the Trojan War, known for their incredible strength and tireless devotion, stemming from myths where they were either descendants of a man (Myrmidon) fathered by Zeus and an ant-like princess, or were themselves transformed from ants into people by Zeus to provide subjects for his son. Their name comes from the Greek word for “ant” (myrmex), symbolizing their industrious and formidable nature, often depicted wearing dark armour.
(1536) Getting on for evening, chaps and chapesses.
15. Have run out of steam again, chaps and chapesses
a. Have been over at Gab, looking to see if there are good items on the timeline. Lainey is good but the others so far range from bizarre to known iffy. With work, I could get it going again by taking MMutR’s idea and putting some HQ material over there. Work in progress.
b. Toodles, who’s almost our blogmother, has noted that our three main drivers, Steve, IYE and I are a bit down in the health dept just now. Perhaps some of our others are too. R&R helps.
c. I usually put Moosh at 10 and 19 for some reason I don’t know … why not 4, 7, 21? Anyway, didn’t quite make it to 19 today.
14. The issue is not whether Trump ever intended to rescue the Iranis
… it was that he mouthed off as he does and everyone out there took it as read that he’d do as he’d promised. The Irani people were buoyed up, the monsters were up against something at last.
But then Donny went silent as he did on J6, Bondi, Wiles.
It was all bignoting bollox.
I’m seeing on X major MAGA pundits really not happy with him. Not talking the usual TDS, but our own side talking betrayal.
If he never planned to honour his promises, then why did he even utter them?
13. One reason the ladies are difficult to resist
Just the way they operate:
12. That’s rich, Brown or Blair criticising someone
Brown mouthed off about Farage.
11. Indecent haste to murder more, the demons
Meanwhile, Donald and Israel sit back and watch. If he intended that, why did he make all these threats and give people hope?
Was hoping to do an HG Wells or similar but that’s going to take some searching. This was interesting methought, first time I ran it.
Let’s establish that this print is of good quality vision, not bad sound, it’s 1929, the year of the crash, sound is appearing in films, plus it has Louise Brooks, plus it’s precode for a few years so was often risque at that time.
The film launched William Powell but was the time Louise refused to speak … it was badly dubbed later when Louise refused to come back to Paramount to do it. She was not a happy girl. I went to a few bios of her, some more searching … she was abused at nine and was a mess thereafter. Till her death.
(1012) Looks overcast, wonder if it’s a bit warmer today? Feels it. (1110)

9. Domestic vicissitudes
Questions about Sydney lady Alex … where’s her hubby? Why not? Today’s society, innit? Women failing to do what they’re built for. I could be criticised myself for past behaviour. Then the cost of housing now, the rental issue, mega-landlords … I know three or four Oz ladies, all of em alone. Hmmmmm.
That was Steve’s subheading below. Where’s that situation going? Don’t forget Alex M is unashamedly pro-Russian, living in Russia I believe. Going to post this one openly, have watched just under ten minutes, well worth lying on the bed, listening or doing jobs, listening:
7. What’s with DJT, Israel, Iran?
First Irani people … why this sitting duck strategy? Something quite off about it. There are household implements, shirley there are catapults etc.?
Israel … does Netting Yahoo own DJT? What’s their game? To read Mark Matis at Jstack, IYE, Miles etc., these are the remnants of the Pharisees, plus Askenazis, plus Khazas, over ordinary Jews in that strip of land. They obviously want Iran militarily neutered but they want the US to do it.
Meanwhile, the Iranis seem Eloi to the Regime Morlocks.
What’s DJT’s game? All right, he’s holding back, scared of M.A.D., plus he’s 80 years old, plus he has a love-hate with Israel, plus he does not like being told. Plus his brash “all hell let loose” on the Regime seems all talk, is damaging him with his base. All talk, as in Wiles and Bondi. Plus the top brass in the military are traitors to America. Plus he needs troops for the organised, treasonous, blue states. Invidious position.
Maybe 47 years has infantilised the Iranians. Steve posted the Persian Jewess … yes, the Jewish vouces are loud, the Iranians not so loud. Calling for the King? Ho hum.
DJT pointed out that the military weren’t ready … the mullahs thought oh goody, let’s get the slaughter in while we can.
(0806) Morning all … awoke late, 0757, and had to sort some matters first. (0933)

3. Some sort of slow op ed
… slow because I’d like to cover most key points and the memory’s been better.
a. X, Iran summary, Trump and implications:
(I) There are issues with X this morning, inc. with Julia and others, me of course. They are stalling the retweet button, as well as rewarding comment rather than retweet. This can be read as Elon responding to govt threat or his woke techies tweaking the algorithm to put us into a lower band.
(ii) With what is appearing … very little on Iran, which is highly significant because DJT and intervention don’t enter into reports at all … Cuba does. Whilst DJT has Venz, Iran, Cuba, Minne all on his plate, he has deputies … are they themselves up to scratch, biased towards a MAGA position? I need to go into this in more depth in Mon 7.
b. The threats we’re facing
(i) Govt, banking, didge id
I’ll post a sshot summary of X this morning at Mon 6 … it includes the debanking in the UK, which has sharply risen, along with yesterday’s stats on plod raids. There’s also Mon 1’s issue of the blocking by Aus govt, which they’re hoping to roll out here soon, if Starmer can survive … it’s line ball, as in Iran … or is it? Is it all part of the theatre? Or is that last sentence part of the theatre too?
(ii) Health and indifference
Everyone I know who cares is under the hammer right now. The old advice for when the airmasks over your plane seat drop down, put your child’s on first, then yours. Same here … your mental health under this sustained barrage of things going wrong … the meme about the Amish holds true … why are you folk not at your wits’ end? Er … we don’t have television (radio, MSM in all forms).
But we can add to that … online, the net. The trolls are out in force for sure, false prophets … and the guy I blocked last evening, saying I was shilling for Israel … he may have had a point. Does not change my angle … the safety of those ordinary Iranians but … well, wait for Mon 7, all right?
(iii) Mindset and action plans
This is related to Mon 3b(ii) above plus that bit about X retweeting being interfered with.
Firstly, slow down … nothing you/we can rush out now, or in twenty minutes, or an hour later is going to alter the reality on the ground or in the minds of the movers and shakers.The entire issue is how we can get around this, that, or the other barb for now … whilst joining the general groundswell of seething anger and pushback.
It may sound trite but get onto that RFK diet priority order if you can, look after yourself, keep your tootsies warm at all times, your skull too, keep moving all parts of the old bod, have sustained breaks but also use your energy well.
Keep your friendships in good repair … write down on paper those you need to get to today to reassure … check it off, point by point. For example, I must get to MMutR later, plus Amfortas’s son, plus reassure IYE that all is well. Big clothes wash too, food tomorrow.
Operate on that level, with “cleared” mind. I did not say “clear” mind because that presupposed being a serene, indifferent bstd … and we are not that. Nor are we hysterical over all the wrong things. As for insults and attacks … that’s their issue, not ours. Yet do think about the points in the attacks, without woe-is-me despondency … is there any point where they may just have a point? Adjust.
That’s about it for now.

a) Threatened by two motions of no-confidence, Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu has asked the Minister of the Interior to look into the possibility of holding legislative elections on the same dates as municipal elections.
b) Macron announces the creation of a High Commission for Diversity. It will more likely be a low commission for “wokism,” repentance, and the promotion of anti-white racism.
c) The port of Le Havre has been the target of a roadblock set up by farmers since Sunday, January 11, 2026. They are protesting the free trade agreement between the European Union and the Mercosur [South American] countries.
d) The number of people being debanked has increased tenfold in less than a decade, with anti-Debanking campaigner Nigel Farage calling the new-year statistics “appalling”, it is reported.
