(1614) Evening all.

 

24. The urge to sing The Lion Sleeps Tonight

… is just a whim away, whim away, whim away … as someone quipped. The tragic background to the song, the fights over rights … all of that is in HERE, plus in the 2000s, the question of cultural appropriation became huge.

I watched the school band steel pan version some time back … played it here … plus the girl who did five parts herself in split screen … I do remember that the song came out every four years for about eight years, it was coopted for The Lion King, it’s now a staple, like Louie Louie. Pete Seeger and then Disney itself sorted out the royalties long after Solomon Linda died … his destitute family appreciated that. In 1937, it was a capella, called Mbuba, Zulu chant.

Having said all that, I thought I’d go the reaction vid route again … almost all, not all, the young American blacks loved it, no question of appropriation, then I tried it on a genuine African, as in current, and she immediately knew it was an African mum’s lullaby, adored everything in the Tokens’ version.

As I heard it over and over in each reaction, it started to dawn, on better sound equipment now, just how very good the arrangement was. One of the reactors said that … she knew the song, bits of, but had never heard the 1960/1 version with its much fuller treatment and doo wop harmonies.

Plus Anita Darian, the soprano, whom I consider, and all reactors did too, absolutely vital in the 1961 arrangement may have been replaced by a young lady with a fab voice but the lead singer with the falsetto was still going into his 80s … hearing the full-on thing for the first time this evening was so good … just how pure the 1955 to 65 songs were, just how much more genuine, if too short.

Addendum

Remembering that race relations were pretty bad in the early sixties, this song was right at the time of upheaval … bussing etc. Plus I listened a short time back to the original a capella Solomon Linda version in a reaction by what seems a Jamaican and that 1939 original was so sad and haunting, a chant … and then I found what it was about.

I’d thought it was a lullaby for a baby … actually, the lion sleeping was Shaka Khan that the Zulu felt was not dead but merely sleeping. If you go to O Flower of Scotland, you’ll get the same idea … we can still rise again. And in both cases, who were the enemy? Yep, the English. Ditto with white Americans … oops.

Thus I can see a certain revenge motif with all these hordes pouring in. Gulp … well, best forewarned I suppose.

Let’s go even further

If you think it through, let’s see which nations or tribes might be perfectly happy to enslave and abuse the English … here are a few: China (Boxers), India (Raj), African nations, Pakistan, Israel, Muslim tribes (Crusades), Australia (Hamilton at Gallipoli), Argentina, Germany, France, Spain, Italy, Russia (Crimea plus today), Canada, USA (Am War of Ind) … then Scotland, Ireland, Wales … imagine them all allied to stomp on the English.

And how prepared is England to resist just now? Large, highly trained defence forces? Everyone of the same mind just now? Not procreating either. Hmmmmm. Juss thinkin’ like.

16. More humiliation of women

 

“This movie surprised me. It started out as one type of movie and ended up as another – it was a pleasant enough surprise though.

Laurence Harvey plays charter pilot Rex Black who fakes his death allowing his wife, Stella, to claim the insurance. Although Harvey was not particularly loved by many of his peers, he made some great movies. I always liked him and his Rex Black is cocky and edgy.

Lee Remick plays Stella. Time spent watching Lee Remick on the screen is never wasted. She was an actress whose abilities were sometimes under-appreciated because she was so beautiful. She is as disarming here as she was in everything she did.

Alan Bates plays Stephen Maddux, an insurance agent who investigates Rex’s death and later fancies Stella when they cross paths in Spain – he thinks she is a widow, and Rex assumes another identity. Bates plays it low key while Harvey’s character becomes darker and more aggressive as he attempts further scams, and is prepared to do anything to stop his plans unravelling.

Sadly all three actors went far too early – cancer in each case.

Directed by Carol Reed, the film has an unusual energy. It starts out as a light caper film, but by the half way mark we realise that the game has become more dangerous. The ending has a similar touch to the one that made “The Third Man” so memorable.

The film was made in 1963, and although it benefits from great locations in Spain, it actually feels a little like British films of the 40s and 50s.

The score by William Allwyn has a lot to do with that. For a long while British film music had a distinctive sound with some brilliant scores. It had a different timbre to the typical Hollywood score. You could tell a film was British as soon as the main title music started, but by the late 50’s, composers like John Barry and John Addison brought a fresh sound that was far more international.

However the score for “The Running Man” was a throwback – it was Allwyn’s last score – maybe Reed had asked for him – but it could almost be a score for a film in 1948.

Although “The Running Man” does not represent the best work of those involved it is more than watchable and has a couple of twists worthy of Hitchcock.”

She’s not liked by authorities, by either party, possibly by the Don himself, certainly not by staff. I was suspended for running her material. If she runs it as a block, the leftists in control of X take it down. So she’s presenting this series in parts. Here are two of the parts.

13. Tom Paine on double jeopardy

HERE

“The worst legal reform of my lifetime to date was the abolition of double jeopardy. We can largely thank the family of Stephen Lawrence for that. The Crown Prosecution Service believed they could not secure a conviction of that unfortunate young man’s suspected murderers because there was insufficient evidence. His family brought a private prosecution, which led to the acquittal the professionals had predicted.

When new DNA evidence emerged, the family campaigned for (and got) the abolition of the ancient right. To hell with all those it might have protected in future as it had for centuries. They demanded the law be changed so their stupid mistake could be corrected – and of course they got their way. The state – with all its resources – can try again if it doesn’t get you the first time.”

12. Pub Curmudgeon advises

HERE

“And the latest domino to fall is Fosters Lager, whose makers Heineken have announced that its strength will be reduced from 3.7% ABV to 3.4% with effect from February next year. It’s perhaps surprising to remember that it was 4.0% as recently as early 2023. Heineken claim that this is due to the drinking public demanding lower-strength beers, but in reality that is totally disingenuous, and the underlying reason is obviously the immense saving in beer duty. 

The British beer market was once dominated by what were regarded as “ordinary strength” session beers in the 3.6-4.0% strength range. But, over the past couple of years, since the duty cut-off at 3.4% was introduced, this entire sector has been pretty much wiped out, at least as far as keg beers are concerned. Carlsberg, Fosters, John Smith’s, Worthington, Boddingtons and Tetley have all been cut, leaving Carling as the last mass-market beer standing at 4.0%.”

The process of coming out of “unknowingness”

I’d categorise sentient minds in this possible way:

• God and the devil who do know all
• Superbright people, inc. malevolent monsters but also real sages, always learning
• Those who’ve been at it a long time, open to new snippets, trying to keep exploring
• Those further back, slowly coming out of the “unknowingness”
• The normies, fairly oblivious, apolitical but still absorbing the hegemony
• The brainwashed, woke, college lefties, ignorati etc.

I’d put Laura into the fourth category by her own admission:

The issue with the fourth category is that there are those coming out of the “unknowingness”, thinking they’re now on top of it, no need to further explore, happy to stop at a point of unease but not yet at a point of horror, not admitting the otherworldly … and I do see many substackers in there, e.g. the Kissins and Woottons, wanting to lecture us with their stunning insights, but not open to altering perceptions. Classic 80%ers … they did learn a lot … and stopped there.

Then Laura, who’s on the cusp. She can either stop there and remain as a substacker trying to make a name for herself, even the price of cups of coffee … but otherwise closed …

… or else now restless of mind, willing, like a scientist, to admit she was wrong, ever learning until her final days … she’s worth reading if she’s lifted herself into the next category.

I’ve avoided, so far, making it a vertical continuum to godhood because the assumption is that once you learn more than most humans, you become guru like and too often become evil. Ego is evil, self satisfaction is evil, considering you’re so much better is evil … the self titled illumined are that way in their temples.

There’s a thing called humility, and those with it … or who develop it through bitter experience … change from experience to wisdom. I’m still some way from wisdom and am finding challenges to my perceptions everyday. I’m hoping Laura continues this way. She mentioned the word “spiritual”. I pray she does not head down the wrong occult path.

2. Campbells soup

… by Toodles.

Toodles writes:

“It is about the Campbell’s Soup issue. Ironically the VP (of Campbells), though a jerk, is kind of a hero in my eyes…said what we know about food produced by Them and how they loathe us. Not sure the VP (recorded) feels that way, but it is true that Them hate poor people and really I am a poor person compared to Them. 

The person  exposing all of it imo is an unintended hero…as is VP. The exposer did it because he didn’t get his raise. He is a creep. Neither is a real hero, but  the VP, also a creep, is telling us….

All of that but there is more in Melanie King’s video (above here).

She goes on further from Soup and gets to something that hits directly home. Of course Gates and chemtrails, food…”

The violent rhetoric of globopsycho through the Wokerati

It certainly compounds the violence of globopsycho, of the deathcult, of the Rothschild mob, right down through society to the children. The people of this land and of the US itself, even the south (east, west), e.g. Texas, are doing nothing to stop rampant invasion, e.g. arranged by Abbott.

Here’s as good a take on the two National Guardsmen shot as I’ve seen:

“I live in DC. These guardsmen are kind. They do nothing wrong. They stand there and keep the peace… They are not the eviI, racıst soldiers the media make them out to be..

It’s the media’s violent rhetoric.. that motivated a foreign national to harm our military”

Build em up and they let you down

I’ve just built her up because it’s a blend of NY liberalism, e.g. “kind”, “just stand there”, poor leftist education, youth, plus she’s female … yet she begins to see the need. Wonder if she knows the Hegelian dialectic, where the strongman promises to deliver the masses of all this?

Yesterday, I built up Alexandra Marshall downunder and just now saw her writing in the Spectator about Putin’s “illegal invasion” … she’s clearly learnt nothing and is swayed by the faux media on 2014, before and after.

Disappointing.

Misguided rhetoric

Just found some items from Redacted who clearly understands nothing about how to deal with an enemy which has already comprehensively taken over, with foreign shock troops already on the streets. Easy to start gun toting and sabre rattling without actually organising, calling Brits people who “have no cajones”. Does anyone in Texas? In Bama? I’ve been reading about the infiltration of the Wokerati in south-eastern states too … same as here, same as in France, same as downunder.

Far from having no cajones, they simply don’t understand, the masses, they’re chronically ill with Woke mind virus. Even this girl above here. Those who do understand also know that blind, gung ho shoot em up tactics are sporadic at best, are factored in. Those who do understand need to act like the Resistance did in WW2 and at other times. The Alamo was stupid, Custer’s last stand was stupid, the charge of the Light Brigade was stupid, Rorke’s Drift was stupid, WW1’s trench warfare was stupid.

How did the North Vietnamese win? Through Chinese tactics on their part, plus quisling treachery in the US brass, e.g. Kissinger, e.g. Milley today, e.g. in the current day, during Covid … Fauci, Birx, Whitty, Ferguson.

The moment anyone has spoken out, they’ve been sacked, suppressed, incarcerated.

Yet to “do nothing” can either be no cajones, as Redacted says … or it can be looking after one’s family, putting bread on the table, otherwise the family is homeless and looking for scraps from bins …

… or it can be looking for the most effective way to hit back. The violent left snipes and terrorises … why do decent people not do that?

Because it goes against the grain, against cradle to grave learned decency and respectability, it turns Anakin Skywalker into Vader, which is precisely what the Emperor wants … creating more monsters, this time from us.

Snipers have always been part of Resistance groups.

And take a look at an organised reaction, e.g. the three million on September 13th in and around London. Effective if led well. But still, huge swathes of the country were MSM mind virus ill that day, brainwashed by the rhetoric, the framing. The “talk radio set” on the daily commute.

Solution? Organised Resistance, using more thought out tactics. Sarah White suggested some.

There’s one weapon almost no one avails him/herself of

Redacted: “(Drop) meaningless words and charms. What did St James say about faith/works?”

Having the Triune God on your side is the most effective weapon of all, in ways which surpass understanding. For a start, it bolsters courage to do the tough things, to keep the mind clear enough to organise or to respond to the call. To completely ignore the baiting and mocking and do what’s needed.

I can just see the people seeing that bottom line and turning away.

The tactics in the Roman arena were wrong imho, the tactics in Nigeria etc. are also wrong. What of Joan of Arc? More effective I’d say.

13. Jim Chimirie on the Farmers’ Protest today

Britain crosses these lines brazenly now. No debate. No shame. A government decree, a police order, and suddenly the people who feed the country – the most rooted, law-abiding citizens we have – are the ones being marched away in handcuffs. Not for rioting. Not for violence. For turning up to protest a tax raid that threatens the survival of family farms. This is what decay looks like when it turns into something darker: the state deciding who may speak and who must be silenced.

The images from Westminster should chill anyone with a sense of Britain’s old freedoms. Dozens of tractors draped in Union flags. Farmers who spend their lives in mud, dawn light and hard graft, standing in the capital because Rachel Reeves has reached for the most brutal tool in the Treasury drawer – inheritance tax – and pointed it straight at the land itself. One death in the family and the farm breaks into pieces, sold off to pay the bill. That is the reality behind the Budget’s polite language.

These men aren’t in London for show. They are there because their futures have been put on the block. And what did the state do? The Met, which can’t find the strength to stand up to eco-fanatics or pro-Hamas mobs, suddenly discovered iron in its spine the moment it faced peaceful rural protest. Section 14 orders. Sudden bans. Farmers singled out and cuffed like criminals.

Officers who were helping them park an hour earlier switched roles and started clearing them out. This is not policing. This is obedience enforcement – selective, political, and aimed squarely at the demographic this government thinks it can steamroller without consequence.

The excuse was “disruption.” As if tractors circling Trafalgar Square for a morning threaten the life of the nation, while city-blocking marches and flag-waving fanatics do not. It’s the same double standard we’ve seen for years: indulgence for the activist Left; force for the ordinary citizen who dares to object. A country that treats its farmers as a nuisance is already half-lost. A country that arrests them for standing in public is well on the way to something worse.

This isn’t happening by accident. It’s the logical end of a government drunk on its own authority. They raid family farms for cash; then they send the police to muzzle the people affected. They ban tractors for “serious disruption” while gutting the mechanisms that once protected the public from the state. Speech tightened. Protest restricted. Juries stripped from trials. Now this. One brick at a time, the wall between the government and unchecked power is being pulled down.

Farmers don’t protest unless they have been pushed to breaking point. A ruling class that still understood the country it governs would know that. This one doesn’t care. It sees them as an obstacle, not a backbone. And that is why the images from Westminster matter: they reveal a state no longer restrained by shame or tradition. A state that believes it can handcuff the hands that feed it and get away with it.

The truth is simple: a government that fears peaceful farmers fears the country itself. And a government that turns the police on them is not preserving order; it is testing how far it can go. Britain isn’t at the end of this road yet. But the direction of travel is plain to anyone with eyes open.

“Farmers singled out and cuffed like criminals. Officers who were helping them park an hour earlier switched roles and started clearing them out.”
