The Spanish Main

 


“This night, I have been in Spain.” (Henry VIII’s bro)

Where do the rains in Spain fall?

Youtube have just decided to put up the old song by Mink de Ville:

Willie de Ville had a unique sound (AI overview):

“Mink DeVille’s sound is a rich, cinematic blend of early rock and roll, Latin-infused rhythms, 1960s R&B, and Cajun roots music. Led by frontman Willy DeVille’s signature gravelly vocals, the band successfully transitioned from the gritty CBGB punk scene into a timeless, genre-spanning musical style.”

There’s a fair bit of 50’s big city Hispanic street gang (West Side Story) in the song, the toughness of the street. Melodic for all that. Willie de Ville himself was quite asocial (a bit like me at times). Not antisocial but certainly not the social animal. Probably liked small cohorts of friends … around the west. Human foibles plus. He wrote the book on that.

The performance above was in 1989 in Bonn, near the end of his life. MdeV always appealed more to European sensibilities … not so much to Americans, except with cult fans. The Brits? Hmmmm, not sure if they liked or not.

6. An interesting discussion on Britain and each home country

Naturally I’m biased now but Rupert seems to be shaping up … hope he does not neglect his own constituency with all the other calls on his time and presence.

Sunday [1 to 5]

(0557) Phew! Dear reader, I was right out of it yesterday … over-exertion, physically, after recent issue with heart, circulation … simply could not focus eyes, easy to run entertaining clips though. Now for some reason, I’m okish but still watching it, treading carefully. Let’s see what Sunday brings. Hoping you’re ok. (0649)

 

5. A meeting of two traditions in British politics

… I’d argue that the MRLP is an honoured, timeworn trad which must go on.

a) The images of riots in the United Kingdom are not a passing nuisance. They are a warning in flames. For decades, detached political elites have imposed a radical demographic and cultural transformation across Europe under the banner of progressivism. This has targeted the very core of our civilisation….

b) For years, European Union federalists have hoped that one particular project would take flight: A Franco-German jet fighter. The ambitious project, planned between two major companies – Airbus, on Germany’s (and Spain’s) side, and Dassault Aviation on France’s….

c) Rassemblement National (RN) councillor Kevin Nader caused a stir in France by publicly reciting the Hail Mary prayer while holding a crucifix, after the communist mayor rejected …. (JH: Takes a bit of getting the head around, that one.)

d) Britain should stop building wind farms because the country has too much electricity, the UK boss of EDF Energy has said.

Mr Rossi’s call for a pause on wind farms comes as Mr Miliband, the Energy Secretary, drives a substantial expansion of renewable energy. Earlier this year, he signed off on plans to build the biggest onshore wind farm in the UK in a decade.

1. Climate

This was in this morning’s Lord Toby bulletin:

“Many people with inadequate scientific knowledge are convinced that Planet Earth is in mortal danger from global warming due to humans. If Planet Earth were really in great danger from humans, any means to protect it would be justified. Some extremists propose reducing Earth’s eight billion population of people to no more than one billion. How this is to be done has always been a bit vague. Genghis Khan made a good start by slaughtering some 40 million people in the 13th century. In our day, Prince Philip, father of King Charles III of the United Kingdom, opined that: “If I were reincarnated, I would wish to be returned to earth as a killer virus to lower human population levels.”

The climate alarmism of our time is a malignant alliance of ignorant fanaticism, like that mentioned above, and opportunism: the lust for power, fame and wealth. Like all fanatical movements, climate alarmism is doing great collateral damage, most notably to the reputation of my own profession of science. Generous research grants from governments and private foundations have created a new discipline of ‘climate science’. Traditional, rigorous disciplines like atmospheric physics, atmospheric chemistry, meteorology or palaeontology were quick to cash in by renaming themselves with some variant of ‘Centre for Saving the Planet’. They were generously rewarded with research grants, new laboratories, professorships, elections to learned societies, prizes and other tokens of gratitude.

This largess came with strings. If your research did not show that the planet needed to be saved, you would be expelled from the elect.”

(1616) Not feeling well, going to be skeleton posts for now unless I can get some sleep in. Main issue is reading, squinted eyes, even my own writing.

(1209) Afternoon all. Blogging is near impossible right now … three deliveries with their computer broken (AMZ/Morr). Whoever is doing the IT needs sacking. Fortunately, I do have a way around it. Till later. (1212)

 

The thing stunning both Reform and Restore is that Reform are furious, apoplectic, whilst Restore are on a high and they’re not even looking at Labour … who cares? There’s no way to express our mindset, it just breaks the rules of party politics. I love it.

a) Attack the old folk……. Two examples.

  1. Seine-et-Marne, Aube, Yonne…: ‘Travellers “all known to the judicial system”, arrested after 21 home invasions targeting elderly people living alone
  2. Grau du Roi seaside resort (30). An 86-year-old woman dies after being attacked. She was found with her throat slit.

b) Adopted in May 2024, at the height of the European election campaign, the Pact on Migration and Asylum was presented by Emmanuel Macron as an “ambitious comprehensive response” to migration challenges. Jordan Bardella, on the other hand, denounced it as a “submersion pact” forcing France to “welcome thousands of migrants.”

c) In Comps, in the Gard department, the removal of a cross illegally erected on land belonging to the Department has not ended the controversy. A few hours after the intervention of the departmental services, a new cross appeared on the night of Wednesday, June 10, near the Vallabrègues bridge.

Who actually kicked off this rampant raping and murdering?

This is the question currently over at OoL and I still have not answered it, except by the pic in the sidebar there.

Were we to start with The Archduke Ferdinand in 1914, there are so many other outrages perpetrated as psyops, as catalysts … there are always one-off mental cases … but what if an organisation gathers nutters, produces them? What if the use of drugs and hypnosis play a role? See Sid Gottlieb, Ewen Cameron, Selwyn Leeks.

Certainly it starts with private letter agencies and others such as The Parallax Corporation.

If a nutter does a killing and/or raping at random, that’s a bonus but these evil muvvers can’t just leave it to chance … see The Bourne Ultimatum … the whole point is corps of assets sent out to kill as is their wont.

At the same time, it’s necessary to control the safety precautions. For example, on 911, those mussies were known knowns, true believers as Judy Dench pointed that factor out in Bond. For example, Net the Yahoo ordered the Iron Dome shut down on the morning of October 7. We know that the agencies were involved on J6 … both inside the Capitol, and where Ray Epps was. Michael Byrd?

Weishaupt, in 1776, wrote a set of articles of faith for the illumined but guess what … ggl have removed them. Instead, the baddies themselves have flooded ggl search with “learned” articles … nowhere in which are the articles mentioned, as thiugh they ‘d never existed.

The first was abolition of ordered goverments, the last was abolition of “religion”. Despite ggl’s Woke expunging of references to it, it’s certainly a “thing” … these got through the filtering process.


Oh, and as you can gather, my ipads or WP compose has suddenly started playing up again … removing text, saying there was an autosave more recent … quick check of the autosave with the “offending” references. Blank space.

Think I made an error with the film. Apparently, five lanterns is a screwball comedy which seems a bit too luvvy-duvvy for me. Hmmmmm, maybe this 50s sci-fi is better for the boys, maybe even our two girls … plus the review is already there at the beginning.
