3. Some sort of Valentine’s Op Ed
Trouble is … V Day means different things to different corners of the west. To some, it’s strictly two partners, e.g. hubby and wife, fiance and fiance, to others it’s two lovers, to others someone you’d love to be with, to others sordidly sexual, no finesse … to others a reaffirming of close friendships. Any sort of Valentine’s message is a mood lifter, whatever its intention, unless it’s a bad reading of signals.
For me, it’s the most awkward day of the year, simply because of how recipients read signals … it’s too easy to either overstep and assume something we have no right to or else we fall short of how (usually she) sees it. Plus, if a lady is already in an understanding with some fine chap (e.g. her hubby), then no man I know wishes to tread on his territory … we tend to step back due to the “bro-code”.
There are about two dozen ladies I call friends … and they wildly vary in closeness. A few days back, certain very close ladies inc. exes) made contact or I did, then them … that’s well sorted, we all know where we are to a tee. But on X, it’s the wild west, ranging from real affection to a bit of banter online which keeps us sane in this dystopic west now. The chances of overstepping or falling short are many.
So my approach will be to use Valentine’s on X today as my usual greeting to this lady or that, hoping my male friends will understand that this day is not for me to propose to them. With ladies … well, they are the ones calling the tune, it’s ever so, laying down the rules of engagement (unfortunate word in this context?), issuing the signals.
At OoL and UHC (two blogs), I’m assuming all chaps would join with me in wishing our lady or ladies warm wishes … it’s then up to our gallant chaps whether to add to these words or stay shtum for reasons of safety.

a) Here is someone who found that Friday 13th was unlucky. Released from prison last December and listed as a security risk, he had announced his attack and had been on the run ever since… The suspect, born in Mantes-la-Jolie (Yvelines) in 1978, was currently residing in Aulnay-sous-Bois (Seine-Saint-Denis)…..
b) Soros interfering in elections – again. Wokist campaigns for the municipal elections: 300 “citizen” lists supported by activist networks close to Soros…..
c) Dr Delphine Prénat-Molimard expressed her outrage…..“I’m angry because I spent 15 years studying only to be asked to offer death to patients.”….
d) I think that ‘The Sun’ did not expect this as a result of their poll:

e) The British Police act as a Postboy for the French government…..
1. Rupert and Restore as a party
… has set the internet abuzz but at the same time, we have our other items to run, plus Valentine’s Day and an Op Ed of sorts from lil ole me. So I’ll just run some screenshots on the Rupert biz:
Imagine Rupert having that in his arms (spoils of war?):

Is the new Restore Party a plus or a minus?

She’s resigned from Goldman Sachs: HERE.
22. Can’t recall who wrote this
… I just grabbed it, meaning to return. WYSIWYG:
“In 2010, a billionaire from Iowa bought his girlfriend a gift. A 240-foot yacht. Five decks. A helipad. And something most people wouldn’t notice: a compartment beneath the waterline. Big enough for a submarine. They named it Plan B.
His name was Ted Waitt. He’d built Gateway computers into a billion-dollar company. He was wealthy, recently divorced, and interested in ocean conservation. Her name was Ghislaine Maxwell. And over the next two years, something strange happened. Waitt donated ten million dollars to the Clinton Foundation. Maxwell attended Chelsea Clinton’s wedding in August 2010. Within months, she was speaking at the United Nations. At TED conferences. At events where world leaders gathered.
She’d launched a nonprofit called TerraMar. Its mission: protecting international waters—the sixty-four percent of the ocean that belongs to no country. No coast guard patrols there. No customs. No jurisdiction. And for private submarines? No required logs.
Between 2012 and 2017, TerraMar gave out zero dollars in ocean conservation grants. The organization spent less than nine hundred dollars total. But on tax returns, TerraMar claimed it owed Ghislaine Maxwell over half a million dollars. Meanwhile, Maxwell was getting certified. Submarine pilot. Helicopter pilot. Deep-sea vehicle operator. Emergency medical technician. She posted photos of herself diving. “Cleaning ocean trash,” she said. But why would a socialite spend years learning to pilot submarines? —
In 2019, drone operators flew over a private island in the U.S. Virgin Islands. The island belonged to Jeffrey Epstein. The footage showed something most people had missed: a structure on the coastline. Hidden. Leading underground. Engineers who analyzed it said it looked like an entrance to a docking facility. For boats. Or submarines. People could arrive underwater. In international waters, where no country watches. No manifests. No customs forms. No record. And then walk through that entrance as if they’d never been there at all.
On July 6, 2019, Jeffrey Epstein was arrested at an airport in New Jersey. Six days later—July 12, 2019—TerraMar announced it was closing. Immediately. No explanation. Website went dark. Phone disconnected. Why would an ocean charity need to shut down the moment Epstein was arrested? Maxwell disappeared.
For a year, the FBI couldn’t find her. In July 2020, they located her hiding in New Hampshire. She was convicted in December 2021. But in July 2025, something unusual happened. Maxwell was moved from a harsh federal facility in Florida to a minimum-security prison in Texas. The kind with outdoor recreation. No bars. Regular clothing. Inmates call it “Club Fed.”
Why is someone convicted of what she did getting transferred to the most comfortable federal prison in the system? Congressional investigators asked. The Justice Department declined to comment. And here’s what no one can find: The logs for Plan B’s submarine. Private submarines don’t require the same documentation as aircraft. If someone used that submarine to move between international waters and that island, there’d be no record. The FBI won’t say if they ever looked.
Ted Waitt sold the yacht in 2014. He’s never spoken publicly about Maxwell. He declined all interview requests after her arrest. So the questions remain: How many people used that submarine? How many walked through that underground entrance and then went back to their normal lives? And why—after everything Maxwell was convicted of—is she now in the most comfortable prison in America?
There’s something in the newly released FBI files. Something about that nine-hour meeting in July 2025. Something about what Maxwell knows. And something about why powerful people might want to keep her comfortable.
Why did her father die on a yacht named after her?”

“Slick little programmer:
Master forger of rare books (Sanders) gets mixed up with Nazis (Blackmer), a detective (Denning) and a double-crossing dame (Patrick).
The convoluted script may take a Rosetta Stone to solve, still it’s a slickly done TCF programmer. Those two smoothies Sanders and Patrick are well cast as a couple of A-team masochists, engaged in a game of one-upmanship and about as trustworthy as rattlesnakes.
In fact, Patrick’s character qualifies for the Devious Dame Hall of Fame, with her warm personality and stone cold heart. Still, I’m a bit surprised that some of that pain-loving dialog Sanders relishes made it past the censors. Usually old Hollywood just hinted at such things instead of belaboring them.
Denning and Roberts are clearly America’s team, though Denning may wobble at times. One thing for sure—set design and art direction come cheap since most of the action takes place in a single setting, a library.
Still, director Larkin keeps things moving. And get a load of baldy Kurt Katch’s mute Nazi. He’s about as inviting as the polar ice cap and just as chilling. But, I’m still wondering which thug belongs to which gang, which does get confusing.
Oh well, things do sort out, I think. Then too, it’s 1942 and the war is still in doubt. Byron Foulger’s officious little air warden may be on the silly side, but the blackouts weren’t. These old movies do show us things the history books can’t.
Anyhow, the movie may be nothing to write home about. But it’s still impressive how Hollywood could turn out such slick little programmers in the middle of a big war.”

Largely onboard … I’d still add … young drug scene now, rampant hookup culture from early teens, caustic air, poisoned land and foods, cellphones, 5G, invasion of hordes, sedentary life, esp. of the young. Vaxxes still major factor though.

That murdered bit … he was in a restaurant, got up, went outside, claiming he was poisoned. Died. Official line was he’d had cardio issues.
Here’s a take on his water fuel cell:

My (JH’s) layman’s take on it:
He was talking electrolysis. There is already hydrogen production and using it to fuel devices but hydrogen is a dangerous substance uncontained. His claim was he could do the electrolysis in-vehicle whilst running it.
