Self-censoring as a tactic, not as gutlessness

Going to take two examples to illustrate the point … first being DJT finally having to come out and make a statement he does not wish to … this is not all that far removed from Nigel Farage yesterday.

The Donald … he was forced to come out and say that the Epfiles are most certainly down for release. This of course dropped Pammy in it and why?

Relentless pressure from MAGA pundits, mainly big ones, all demanding those files and excoriating Pammy and Kash. Plus Elon, plus all the Xers.

DJT has his mind on all the other issues, from reordering the economy to defending Pete Heg from the predictable. In Pammy’s mind though, MAGA are right bstds, horrible farrighters. In DJT’s mind, they’re his base whom he’s starving. These are his warriors. Just how long can he do this to the base for and still avoid civil war?

Over here, Nige had to come out and say “illegals must be deported”, so as not to let Badenough and Jenrick upstage him.

Why is NF so reticent? Yusef of course, also the power of the invader overall. His, NF’s strategy, is to get into power any which way, capturing the “centre ground”, the appeasing pollies, e.g. this Runcorn woman, but our lot say he’s simply being used to keep it all establishment approved “safe opposition”, in perpetuity.

I can see both arguments there … which is unfortunate, as it looks quite Laodecian in fact, weak, anything for peace and quiet.

Actually, in Donny’s case, it’s to prevent internal civil war for a start, then WW3 itself, not to be sneezed at, esp. as the satanic honchos in the UK, France and Germany, plus in the rest of the west, desperately want WW3 to cover their own sins, their own money laundering and trafficking.

If he plays the Epfiles too early, they start the Big One, don’t they, sacrificing everyone and everything in their wake, scorched earth … they’re finally cornered, you see. Nothing left to lose.

The second example is from downunder … the 2011 football season (inc. playoffs) and in one particular game, the Cats were crucifying the Demons on the former’s home ground. I tell no porkies here … it’s uncanny … Geelong really are the Cats, Melbourne really are the Demons … look it up.

So, in this case, the unherdable cats were rolling all over the hapless demons and it was clear that the only way the demons could do anything was to take out key players causing damage … you see where I’m going here.

One of those, a Paul Chapman, a real danger in-goal, able to kick freak goals on almost no usage of the ball … he had to be taken out by judicial lawfare … there had to be a staged provocation … hothead Chappy had to be provoked into retaliation … and they sent just the man up the ground from the backline … a large thug in other words … for the job … the predictable happened … Chappy, a small chap, was astride the large demon sprawled out on the turf … pounding the provocateur with fists to the face etc.

Coach dragged him off the ground immediately, left the coach’s box and went down to the boundary, spoke softly to Paul … why? Why did you get sucked in? There was no need, given our position. You were bloody lucky the ump saw the whole thing … you’d have been rubbed out at the tribunal for weeks … it lets everyone down, including yourself … and the club loses one of its key spearheads for weeks … it’s insane. Just go out and play the ball. And Chapman did.

Now, how did Chris Scott, head coach, get Chappy to calm down immediately? Well CS himself was a known hothead. He and his brother, a fearsome duo, had pile driven opponents into fences, taken out injured stars who’d played on … they were the triple premiership team hitmen. Chapman knew this very well, the footage is still on youtube … like Hegseth, that coach had the record as a no holds barred hitman. But in retirement, he’d become more canny, strategic, curbed his own wildness (a bit), his own temper.

Anyone see where I’m going here? You conserve your key hitmen for key operations, you protect them, the team, and yes, your own job too, because you’re all on a combined mission.

There are key words and phrases which the algorithm looks for, I’ve said it over and over, and it’s not smart to use them openly, esp. when code or euphemisms serve the same purpose. I loathe having to alter someone’s text but the “I” or “M” word are not on if we wish to remain a going concern. How many times now have I been taken out by the PTB?

Quick question … what’s the difference between Bernie Spofforth, Lucy Connolly and Allison Pearson? The latter has a powerful machine behind her … The Telegraph. Need I say more, all those up with those stories?

This might be two strikes against it before we start. Firstly it’s Christie, plus it’s a farce, not a mystery. The third strike might be the acting and fourth of two might be underusing Sarah Berger a bit, although the maid partly made up for that.

The ending does have a twist … it would make a jolly nice Sat or Sun evening radio play of old … there are a few of them available if you like this sort of thing. Tweren’t bad.

 

Maybe because he’s new at the “popular vlog” thing but many, including me, are giving unsolicited advice to Chris. Mine was to ditch the intrusive “music”, which he’s largely done … today’s were about the adverts suddenly appearing without warning … he was hit by quite a few over that.

5. Had an email and it raises two issues

First is that yes, I do drop hints, encode etc. and regulars here do it too, with varying success … but eggsellent that they do. It’s not always easy to get the encrypted point across … subject to reader interpretation.

Now, this email was from a ladyfriend thousands of miles away and the hint being dropped here is that another lady in the other direction knows to whom I’m referring, without names or pack drill. I do need to protect both, despite the email sender writing pure guff.

The email was a personal news exchange, nothing political … Easter wishes in fact. She wrote one last line: “Hard to predict anything in these wierd times with Trump wreaking havoc.”

Her interests are her work (running a company), plus rambling, in UK terms … trail walking, climbing, skiing etc. What she pics up, politically, is on the fly, quick MSM input … that’s her reality. Where does one start?

So the second point is that so many western women now tend Wokeleft, they unquestioningly take on board the lies. They’re politically stoopid, they never delve, having their own full agendas to pursue. Now, we’ve criticised the Donald ourselves, esp. over Pammy for example, others he appointed … I’ve been getting stuck into Kristi (see next item) … that’s an entirely different thing to outright dishonesty, such is the demonrat and Labour or Uniparty approach, fully projecting.

It’s sad, as this lady is close to me … must be like one’s daughter in a way, this situation, under the control of silly people, faux heroes. Thing is … she has never done anything against me personally but thinks this way, politically. Now there’s a second lady who’s done many things against me personally and yet we’re on the same page, politically … go figure.

Broadening this to the western voting public as a whole … how many have the vote and yet prop up the destruction by globopsycho by simply buying what they’re told and adopting it as their reality? Sigh!

4. We are certainly in the middle of a bitter war

… an existential war … Tue 3 is about that. Redacted posted:

“I’ve spent approximately 3 hours to be able to access any of your sites […] I had even begun to question and marvel that you could banish me singularly!”

A couple of observations … who’s banished? We have here the difference between seasoned veterans of the site(s) and visiting warriors … regulars know I start around 0500 BST and am not of much use after 2000 BST, until the same next morning. Translated, that means sentient midnight EST thru 1500 EST. Were a commenter to comment between 3 p.m. US east coast time in other words and midnight, US east coast time, I’m away with the sandman.

Now, if an American or Canadian seems to be caught up in the Unherdable machine between his/her 3 p.m. to his/her midnight, I’m not there to sort what the machine has done but patience … I’ll be back at your midnight.

For those downunder, I’m sentient here roughly between your 2 p.m./4 p.m. through to your 11 p.m./1 a.m. … not much use outside those hours, sorry me.

(0533) Morning all. (0658)

 

3. Film and song can teach us much

For example, Kenny Rogers sang, “Know when to hold em, know when to fold em.” WC Fields said something along the lines of, “If at first you don’t succeed, try, try and try again … then quit … no point being a damned fool about it.” Dunkirk was gallant, so was Tobruk (it even showed the Aussie command as clever on that occasion) … Paul Revere had a certain something to him.

There are situations when making a last stand, the heroism in it, which can turn the tide, turn the war … is the thing to do … and then there are other situations where it’s folly, such as Custer, such as the Light Brigade, such as Gallipoli. Rorke’s Drift was gallant sacrifice but a stupid thing to get trapped into in the first place … what was the Alamo?

Whom and what is one sacrificing? Human lives? Troop levels so one cannot fight on later? Organs of info? Samizdat? French Resistance dispositions? Sometimes there are keywords which seem not to knock us out of contention, sometimes, as DM ustd, just using the word “rumour” is sufficient to get the message through, people start searching, using the right questions.

Sometimes it’s better to euphemise, to speak in code, though it be so brave and gallant to come out and say it plainly. Even Jesus spoke in parables, had to endure snakes and worms with their wormtonguing, their entrapment. Sometimes, to protect the nest, it’s better not to … sometimes it’s better to switch and all out attack. Even this morning we’ve seen key words do for a patron … tactics had to change for now.

A Fritz Lang film:

A decent Fritz Lang film:

For Gary Cooper, it’s “Cloak and Dagger” in this 1946 film directed by Fritz Lang and also starring Lilli Palmer (in her American film debut) and Robert Alda.

Toward the end of WW II, it comes to U. S. attention that the Germans are developing a nuclear bomb. The OSS recruits a midwestern university scientist, Alvah Jesper (Cooper) to go to Switzerland.

There, he is to speak speak to a German scientist Dr. Loder (Helen Thimig) who has escaped to Switzerland, where she is now hospitalized. But Alvah’s cover is blown, and he is being watched. In Italy searching for the scientist working with Dr. Lodor, Polda (Vladimir Sokoloff), Alvah is protected by guerrillas who include Gina (Palmer) and an American, Pinkie (Alda).

A bit slow at first, “Cloak and Dagger” picks up steam as it goes along. The most stunning scene occurs when, as an Italian sings a folk song outside, Alvah and an Italian Gestapo agent, Luigi, (Marc Lawrence) fight inside a building.

And by the way, Michael Burke, the OSS member who was the film’s adviser, and an agent named Andreas Diamond, showed Lang the hand-to-hand combat used in this film.

Apparently, Gary Cooper had problems with the scientific dialogue (as he had problems with not understanding his speech at the end of The Fountainhead), and Warner Bros. Records state this fight scene was the only one he did well. A very suspenseful, exciting, and raw scene, the best in the film. The thrilling ending is top-notch as well.

The love that develops between Gina and Alvah is poignant, and beautiful Lilli Palmer gives a fantastic performance. I agree with others, Alvah seems pretty sharp and experienced for an untrained agent. Cooper is very good in a heroic role – strong but gentle and as usual, terribly handsome.

The ending of this film was changed from an antiwar one and anti-nuclear weapons, since by the time the film was released, since the bomb had just been dropped on Hiroshima.

Well worth seeing, if not ultimate Lang.
