(0835) Morning all … warmer. (0930)

 

10. And here it is yet again

Look at the young, ambitious lass on the left … compared to the other creature (photos Rogozin):

Empress Palpatine, anyone?

9. Not dissimilar motif

Not claiming she was an innocent caught up in her own pride and ideology, plus lack of experience, lack of vision … like the Delta co-pilot. And I’m quite sure there are genuinely evil wimmin such as Notnilc or Nuland but even Nuland may have been a bit like Rebekah Brooks … trying to make a big name for herself in a cavalier way … but actually being used, under someone’s influence. And essentially incompetent.

8. Not only as we expected

It’s true that my very first thought was: “Female pilot? Targetted missile?” As it has turned out a few times now … why not both? In fact, why not three components here … the Higher-Ups of the Adopted Narrative … the Manchurian man senior officer … the scapegoat girl complimented and pushed to show she’s as good as any man … then a fourth … the locking system which she cannot reverse.

The key in this is not the girl … she’s the bunny, just as Pamela Landy was in the Bourne series … it was to be tied up and hung around her neck. The key was the senior officer. Was he onboard or was the girl flying alone? If not onboard, why not? Was someone controlling the plane remotely? But if he was onboard, then the only explanation is Manchurian, knowing he would be dying.

My second thought on it all was that someone or some people were able to remote lock the plane course … not unlike a missile.

Beauty pageant winner? Who chose her? Why? How far up the feeding list was that person?

a) TPTB, in France, are worried. [I have translated it all as it makes interesting reading.]

According to information from franceinfo, notes are being commissioned from social media experts to monitor several libertarian accounts that are becoming influential.

Libertarian theses are gradually penetrating public opinion in France, outside of a microcosm. A phenomenon is worrying the Élysée. The libertarian movement, in its extreme form, that of the far-right Argentine president Javier Milei, consists of wanting to cut state spending, or even destroy it, and cultivate a hatred of public services. For example, the Argentine seeks to eliminate 60% of public bodies. An ultraliberal movement that also promotes total freedom of expression, “free speech” à la Donald Trump, consisting of being able to say anything, even make racist remarks.

Notes are therefore being commissioned from several specialized companies, experts who decipher and sift through social media to better understand public opinion. What is of concern at the top of the State is not so much the ideology itself, since everyone can adhere to the project they want, but to see it spread in wider circles. Especially since it can lead to protests. 

More and more intellectuals or opinion leaders, from the right, like journalists, who are identified as credible, share on X the publications of certain accounts – often tinged with racism, which criticize the system, believe that we pay too much tax, sometimes followed by tens of thousands of subscribers.

[Funny how they bring in “Racism” – fear porn to frighten the masses.]

Summary of the other drops:

b) European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen has pushed attendees at the Caribbean Nations Summit (Caricom) to call for peace in Ukraine…..

c) A tunnel has been discovered in Ceuta that could have been used to transport drugs from Morocco.….

d) Several migrant support associations denounce remarks deemed “racist” made by members of the collective Non au foyer MNA [Minor {illegal immigrants} Non Accompagnés] de Maignelay-Montigny during a rally on February 10 in Beauvais.….

e) From TCW…..

 

Awkward heading but can’t think how better to express it … there’s a definite “something” drawing me to certain arrangements, the dominance of certain instruments, e.g. bass, bagpipes, others and not being a music professional, I wondered why for a long time.

When Dearieme mentioned, with Tuba Skinny, that the stronger and more numerous the rhythm section, often the better the sound, I thought on’t … also why basso continuo sounded so good in Baroque … why Adrian Rollini was so good. Then I saw this:

“Some Western Composers liked to use a drone (especially one in fifths) to make it sound like bagpipes or other folk instruments. Bach, François Couperin and other Baroque composers often called such pieces “Musette” (the French for “bagpipes”).”

It’s such a different way to approach a song. During the Shoegaze phase of noise pop in the early nineties, same thing often occurred … dominant bass, droning rhythm, high vocals … the Byrds had done similar with the jangly twelve string. Then I saw this about Lennon’s voice on Rain:

“Rain” strongly evokes the style of Indian classical music through its “droning harmony and the, at times florid tune.”

And:

”The increased volume of the bass guitar contravened EMI regulations, which were born out of concern that the powerful sound would cause a record buyer’s stylus to jump.”

EMI bleeding “regulations”? You whaa? Interference plus. I also read how the album Revolver marked the end of live performances in 1966 and heralded far more technique in the studio. One such technique was with Lennon’s voice:

“Geoff Emerick, who was the engineer for both sessions, described one technique he used to alter the sonic texture of the recording by taping the backing track “faster than normal”. When played back, slightly slower than the usual speed, “the music had a radically different tonal quality.” The opposite technique was used to alter the tone of Lennon’s lead vocal: it was recorded with the tape machine slowed down, making Lennon’s voice sound higher when played back.”

In fact, all voices were much higher … same with the singer in Pale Saints, replaced later by a girl … and the Beatles on this song quite easily replaced by a girl in the best cover I’ve heard, including enhanced bass and rhythm drone:

I was going to say that the drone and reversed lead technique was a power technique, more suited to a male, giving it that relentless driving quality, a la Donny T or Kash or Nole or Tom H … and yet here are girls doing it too, such as Kristi N and Pam B … I for one find it more relaxing than a dum-dee-dum, light pop song … it packs more authority … great for sleep at night too as it’s so atmospheric in a rain on the roof way.

However

There’s so much I don’t like in the technique, the scene as a whole I mean. For a start, I was thinking bagpipes rather than sitar, did not like Harrison’s swami phase in the least, nor that of the Moody Blues … and yet the final song in The Lost Chord was undoubtedly good, musically, and the Beatles sounded better with the work put in, just as with the Beach Boys’ Good Vibrations.

Yet look at how artificiality has gone over time … auto-tuning, everything now in the engineering, not in the quality of the voice and playing … plus the narco connection, the psychedelic, never my thing, plus the eastern mumbo-jumbo. Plus that was the time of Lennon’s Jesus reference, the idiot.

There was so much wrong social direction which followed just a musical technique … why? In the hands of the wrong people … Lennon for a start was wrongheaded and destructive.

20. Steve at 974

… with Western Lensman posting a Fox interview with Muriel:

All right … she puts it well and it’s a useful model for what’s going on, to stave off the start of an actual civil war. But the expression “we’ve built up” produces a smile on our anti-communist side’s faces, from Senator Jenner to Yuri B to so many others who’ve fought the red menace, internationally.

Her “unaccountable fourth branch of govt” is a less threatening way to put it, it gets more people onside … best not to say society’s facing the grip of the psycho international communist cabal … somehow, normies won’t like that, nor calling it satanic, though demonrat is pretty clear, plus Sophia yet again:

19. Moosh corner

Graham, the RINOs, Micron and Starmer are desperate to keep the slaughter going, to prevent any peace. The MSM drunk people of Britain go along with it.

18. Long may it continue

17. Why to use the short form of the X

… rather than the expanded. While the expanded is in greater detail half the time, the way X runs is if I do, then the Alex Armstrong X drops off automatically in this case … that is, I’d have to screenshoot both separately but then a second issue arises … great black subscribe notices top right … ugly.

So I need to decide quickly as I’m screenshooting up to a dozen items … something like this … do people know what ISAs are? In Britain – yes, not outside perhaps. Is there any way people could access Annunziata on X? Piece of cake, plus she’s not prolific. What if it’s a non-Brit, also not on X? Well that’s where the decision falls to the ground. There’s only so much which can be done in a given time. If it was vital … then I’d go through all that.

16. Laura Dodsworth is not a main quoted person here

… some of her ideas are very MSM … sometimes in depth, more usually reactive, which itself is a double-edged sword. Lovely lass though. Here she reacts to the returned, murdered babies:

“As Isaac Herzog says, there are no words. Language fails to explain this horror and crushing sorrow.

The return of the bodies of Shiri Bibas and her two young sons, Ariel and Kfir, has plunged Israel into profound grief. It has been described as a tragedy, but it is not a tragedy — it is a crime. Even crime doesn’t feel like enough. That would put this foul murder in the same category as shoplifting or fraud. Atrocity, then? Also, not enough. The murder of Shiri Bibas, Ariel Bibas and Keir Bibas was an abomination. They were seized, illegally and brutally, held in captivity and killed.

Hamas has laughably claimed it does not harm children. Aside from the harm it has inflicted in a generation of Palestinian children who are brainwashed and sacrificed by this terrorist cult, it has fired thousands of rockets and sent suicide missions into Israel over the years, designed to kill and terrorise as many Israelis as possible, including children. And then there was the harm inflicted upon children on the 7th October 2023.”

Going to run Sophia again here:

Yes. Now, conversely, Cherry Pie once countered an item of mine by asking what about the Israeli phosphorous over Gaza? Not disputing it … part of the atrocity v atrocity thing in the middle-east, not unlike the Catholic v Ulster Troubles … or the Catholic v Huguenots, not to be outdone by the Calvin v Savonarola murder … and so it goes on … the Spanish Inquisition … anything to get some sanctioned slaughter going … satan’s not particular.

11. Reasons to run IYE drops here this way

The cunning plan is that, as a reader, I come into HQ as you do, not through the engine room, just to look see what’s what. The eye notes what’s in the body, the posts, quick scroll … but also notes what’s in abridged comments in the sidebar … which is already signposting itself, so no need for me to do it again, unlike NOWP, which is across the way.

However … and this is a big however, in two parts:

a. Comments are fairly steadily added at HQ and twelve fit in the sidebar (going to explore increasing that to fourteen, i.e. try to remember what I did last time). Thing is … sometimes, the first comment falls off below by evening … and should a reader come in then, not only is it off the sidebar by then but by the next day, the post itself, e.g. this one, is off the posts page.

It’s far easier to scroll down and find posts at this blog than it is to find previous comments. Which is why I suggest keeping a dead tree journal of urls for your own use … those you see as important. I do have one in Other but it’s notoriously thin and not comprehensive.

b. There is another reason to run it as a screenshot in the post … for a start, it’s far quicker, as I’m usually under time pressure around 0900 and 1800 … but there’s one more reason. IYE mentioned the loss of two links a day or two ago … yes, I do remember them in the sidebar, then … they were NOT. Hmmmmm.

Now, at the same time, I’m being hit by anything up to 40 spam or direct to trash at any one time, esp. at those times. Physically putting the bad ones in spam or trash is a piece of cake BUT what is not easy is combing through forty spam in a list, just to see, on spec, if one of our chaps has been put there by Akismet. I’d certainly search if it did look as if IYE’s or yours are missing … if I were aware, that is, if I were searching … but otherwise, I’m onto the new job.

Why would Akismet do this? And it did … I found those urls buried in spam with about thirty others. Answer is simple … IYE, Steve, DAD, tend to include trigger words … even with euphemising, some words still get through as part of urls. Ho hum, goes with our territory I’m afraid.

So … in running a quick screenshot in a post, I have a record of what IYE or Steve etc. has posted and if I can’t see it in the sidebar, then I start searching. It does not mean I’m dismissing the content … I’ll certainly return later to look.

10. On the question of memory … IYE
