Sunday [6 to 10]

(0839)(0912)

 

10. No Kings


9. An older Moo offering


8. Farage’s sneaky moves


7. Goodness … actually a male


6. The west, at least online

… is becoming flooded with females … or so it seems. A man can be in two minds about this … the fractions 3/8 and 5/8 seem to describe the situation … speaking of indigenous westerners here, not the flood of African, sub-continent, middle-eastern or Asians.

The figure quoted in the city in which I lived in Russia was 58% female … quite understandable post war but maybe other factors were involved too. If I was in the middle of town on one of the main shopping streets, it was packed with females, mainly young, every which way you looked. Males were dertainly at a premium.

On X, it’s turned out about the same … my “following” is about 3/8 male … as I said … mixed thoughts on that.

Palm Sunday and clocks fwd [2 to 5]

(0615) Unfortunately, that “throat” going around in England seems to have hit me in the last hour and I’ve headed back to bed. On the plus side, there are films and enough polit material in sshots to keep going … sadly, no baroque nor jazz prepared. Let’s see how it goes today but expect blank spaces. (0650)

4. Palm Sunday and “cultural” Christianity

Was talking yesterday with MMutR and mentioned a fellow blogger from around 2012 … we had a group blog of several authors … he took umbrage at me using Ephesians 6:12 about the “principalities” we are up against in high places. Suddenly, this became, in his brain, me “proselytising” or evangelising.

Interesting, considering firstly that we are a culturally Christian nation, even Europe is, mixed in with other roots … and secondly that he was meant to be a “libertarian” … obviously libertarian on some issues but not on others he didn’t like … given all that, I was unsurprised when he took his bat and ball, along with a swathe of left libertarians … and thus began the Great Schism.

To be fair though, subsequently, we became friendly again and that came to a head when he actually defended me strongly against an aggressor newbie in a project called Martin Scriblerus … so that was nice.

This whole thing about “cultural” Christianity … norms, values, approaches to justice, charity etc. … ethics … well it’s served us well for quite a long time but now of course is currently under serious assault. I really only have two verses I quote more than a few times … John 3:16 defines what a Christian is … but of late, there’s been a third verse … Revelation 3:9, regarding those who say they are Jews but are not.

That last one brings in Red Shields, globopsycho, the forces trying to split or wreck the west.

Anyway, it’s Palm Sunday for us but other denominations have it on a different Sunday … ditto with Christmas … to my mind, it scarcely matters as long as it’s recognised as a series of events.

There’s an argument that we’re on firmer ground in dating events, e.g. in which year Jesus was crucified … have a look at this:


I’m not fussed, as mentioned, when precisely it was … as long as it’s neither forgotten nor snuffed out by hostile forces.

a) With nearly 37,000 inhabitants, 107 nationalities, a 25% unemployment rate, and over 50% social housing, Creil, the third largest town in the Oise department, is among the poorest in France.

b) The New Stasi? The Moscow-based German journalist Ulrich Heyden, who has been covering Russian affairs for a wide variety of German media for over three decades, recently learned that his German bank, the Hamburger Sparkasse, is cancelling his bank account, apparently for reasons relating to the EU’s Russia sanctions.

c) A man has been arrested after a car struck “multiple” pedestrians in Derby city centre on Saturday evening, police say. A “number” of people were injured, some of them seriously, and were treated at the scene by paramedics before being taken to hospital.

d) Tucker Carlson’s sickening praise for Sharia tyranny.

2. Yes, they’re the second “religion of peace”

… the crazed Woke far-left, n’est-ce-pas? Or the third after globopsycho itself?

Smart euthanasia

As we contemplate, on Palm Sunday, the next ratchetted move on the Reform politburo’s part, supporters nicely duped by Nige’s controllers:

… so also Dr David McGrogan, Associate Professor of Law at Northumbria Law School, writes at Lord Toby’s site about smart meters and how they are planned to control the population during the increasingly chemtrail induced new cold climate, along with other gems such as bovaer halal beef and poisoned land and rivers:

I was thinking about this the other day when reading, as one tends to do over a nice lunch at the local Italian bistro with a pizza and a glass of red, a 2015 position paper on ‘Making the electricity system more flexible and delivering the benefits for consumers’. This was issued by Ofgem (the quango which regulates the energy market in the UK) at the start of the ongoing process to transform our energy market into one governed by “energy smart appliances”. 

These, for those who have been paying attention, are electric devices (your fridge, your washing machine, your EV charger, etc.) which are able to respond to ‘load control’ signals issued through the internet, and thereby reduce or delay energy consumption. Or, to put it more bluntly, appliances which can be controlled remotely so as to limit how much electricity households are able to use. Coming soon to a kitchen near you.

The last time I wrote about this issue in substance was in 2023, not long before the Energy Act 2023 was enacted. That statute created the legal framework within which the use of energy smart appliances could be mandated and regulated. We now find ourselves entering the next stage: gradual implementation. A draft set of regulations, the Energy Smart Appliances Regulations 2026, is currently making its way through Parliament. This, we are told, is the “first phase“.

And so it goes.  Better on the Continent, in far-eastern Europe, downunder or on the American continent?  In a few isolated countries, yes, e.g. Hungary or El Salvador, plus there are signs Europe itself is starting to awaken from its duped state. Some hope. 🍿🍿🍿

Sat Mat

 

“One of Alfred Hitchcock’s earliest classics, made before he came to Hollywood. A couple’s daughter is kidnapped to keep her parents quiet about an assassination plot. The couple is played by Leslie Banks and Edna Best. Banks is good in a role that’s a long way from his florid performance in The Most Dangerous Game from a couple of years earlier. Best is impressive in a sympathetic turn.

Peter Lorre is menacing and even a little creepy as the leader of the assassins. This was his first English-speaking role (he learned the language while filming). Nice photography from Curt Courant and some fun little creative touches from Hitchcock. The dry humor is blended nicely with the action and suspense.

The cult of sun worshippers and The Royal Albert Hall scene are both worthy of Hitch’s highlight reel. Perhaps one too many abrupt cuts from one scene to the next, often as a character is in mid-sentence. But clearly Hitch was still honing his craft. At least he was trying things as opposed to the static direction of many of his contemporaries.

Remade in 1956 by Hitchcock himself, with James Stewart and Doris Day. That version is more polished and “Hollywood,” and is arguably the more popular of the two. Although neither film is perfect, I prefer this one.

It may not have the two decades of advancements in production techniques or the bigger budget of the remake, but it has a tighter plot, shorter runtime, faster pace, darker tone, and it builds suspense without the distracting side stuff of the remake. Plus there’s no incongruous scenes of Doris Day singing.”
