Spy thriller with a not bad reputation it seems:

 

Thought this was an amusing time to run this (and yes, Jed B is nice):

a) Northern Ireland made it illegal to pray in hospitals. This type of legislation [to protect women who were seeking an abortion from being harassed outside of abortion centres ] is rather widespread throughout the West and, though abortion opponents have pointed out that it violates free speech, has become more or less a default in progressive-run areas.

b) Traders on Polymarket are assigning roughly a one-in-six chance that former Hungarian prime minister Viktor Orbán will be arrested or detained before the end of 2026. The market reflects growing pressure after the new government led by Péter Magyar launched ‘Operation Purgatory’ and, more directly, the Ukrainian ‘gold convoy’ case, where prosecutors are examining whether Orbán had any role.

c) A biological man identifying as a woman who travelled to the Netherlands for refuge from the United States to escape discrimination has been interviewed by the Dutch television news show PowNews. He was placed in the refugee camp in Ter Apel, Netherlands.

d) Organisers of a right-wing protest have gone to court after the Mayor of Brussels banned a demonstration outside the European Parliament. The legal challenge was successful, so the organisers of the Save Europe Act campaign were able to hold their demonstration on Place du Luxembourg on Wednesday afternoon, July 15th.

e) If you see some without a smile, give them one of yours.

2. Just an update

(0806) Greetings all taverners and occasional stumble upons. Seems a reasonable day, apart from the poisoned air, water and food. (0851)

 

The curious case of the sudden all out attacks since July 8th

… on lil ole moi … plus I suggest that the worthy IYE and DAD take particular note … but it seems not Steve.

Where to start? There are parts of this which are private biz involving ladies, dozens of such lovely lasses if you count the long book I keep mentioning, plus actual cases from my case history. Yes … all this stems, not from our regular crew here, our patrons, but somewhere out in ladyland. MMutR has warned me over and over not to become entangled in molasses, nice though they taste.

Did I listen? Moi? Higham? Ha ha. As I wrote in the long book … ” that’s how they got him in Russia”.

Where do IYE and DAD come in? (And I’ll be over at NOWP presently to disentangle it if poss.)

Bear in mind the auspicious date July 8th … if I’m still alive, unlike Ann W but like DJT after this, it might be worth a novel. I suspect this will be my ruination rather than a hit, but let’s see. Yet I’m no saint, never have been … more reformed sinner. Yep, forgive me my transgressions please from past and present.

As I pointed out in letters to two fine ladies of my experience, it’s quite uncanny. What changed around July 8th? I was suddenly embroiled in the charms of a certain lady … MMutR knows the tale and will be grinning, reading this, eyes to the ceiling.

No matter. At the same time, IYE, DAD and Andy started having trouble with NOWP comments, plus my compose area here started really playing up. Now, this might be a French election thing, given what DAD is posting. Or it might be an Ann W thing, mentioned by IYE over and over. A clandestine group who have added the blog plus me to the list. Observe the sudden increase in spam attacks:

The 55 pending since 0200 this morning have been almost all spam. In cyber-attack terms, that’s a warning, not a direct hit. Also suddenly, there is a divide and rule going on, with one lady getting amazingly accurate intel on my writings but an erroneous overall picture. This group I suspect is known for divide and rule, break up dangerous alliances, such that one partner destroys the other.

All, by the way, good people on the antiWoke side of politics (they must be as I luv em ☺️), also Christian. Do not forget that latter factor … secular humanists tend to dismiss that factor … see Isabel Vaughan Spruce for details.

All right, where does that leave us on the blog? With the sins of the tavern keeper visited upon our poor innocent patrons?

As usual, the perps naturally dismiss anything underhand (see Mandy Rice Davies for an eternal quote on that). There’s no such thing as conspiracy, no such thing as letter agencies and hostile ex readers (see the year 2007 for details, also July 26th, 2024).

What to do? Step back, tread carefully, do a lot of praying as He might be our only chance. I quite readily admit my guilt in everything … mea culpa, me no saint. Even Amazing Gracers can relapse. For a short time.

Regarding NOWP, going over now to examine, but please chaps … bear the above here in mind and ta for your great patience.

Easy with hindsight to judge the Donald but equally, he has kept on very bad advisors. e.g. Matis, Kelly … assuming they weren’t his masters. And then this person … either naively incompetent … or else a she-devil.

A “Big Brother” drop this morning.

a) YouTube has restricted access within the European Union to a video from the Finnish programme Uusi Puheenaihe devoted to Chat Control, while the same recording remains available in countries outside the bloc….

b) Germany’s domestic intelligence agency could soon be authorised to secretly alter digital data, hack into private computers and mobile phones, enter homes without occupants’ knowledge, recruit 16- and 17-year-olds as informants, and never inform citizens that they had been subjected to surveillance.

c) The European Organisation for the Safety of Air Navigation (Eurocontrol) has moved to freeze funds owed to the Polish Air Navigation Services Agency (PANSA) to enforce a €1.3 billion Belgian court ruling against Poland in favour of the US drugmaker Pfizer.

d) The latest ABC headline tells us that Climate Change is becoming a major driver of child marriage across Asia and the Pacific. All those super cyclones and floods (that never used to happen) are killing the family chickens, see, and poor mothers can’t afford to keep their daughters.

e) The writer Renaud Camus [author of “The Camp of Saints” reported to the gendarmerie in Fleurance (Gers) to be questioned as part of proceedings initiated in Paris. The summons, received the previous month, had been issued by a public prosecutor and concerned two charges: racially motivated insult and incitement to violence and racial hatred….

 

(0652) Morning all. Troubles all over the place and we also have our share.

 

The state of play at the blog level

First signs have been at NOWP and you can read of those … yes, there was moderation bin at work it seems … the danger is that that’s the original site and has much in the engine room. It’s still working but as you can see from Andy’s attempts to post yesterday, which I misunderstood, there is some interference in the commenting system.

The weird situation is that HQ is under severe spam attack (think this involves lists to be attacked) but other than that, it’s in order.

Unless I leave this venue that is and even then, nothing is lost … it’s backed up … it’s just not plugged in. After losing NO, we always knew this would eventually happen. Safest two sites for our tavern complex for now are HQ and Jstack but even Jstack has bizarre issues of complication in the works … it’s near impossible to open and compose on, plus it keeps signing itself out. To get back in, I must go through a chain involving a different email, which actually eventually works just now.

To cut to the chase … NOWP does work, it seems to be requiring moderation … if our droppers can stand that for now, I’d still use it. Reason for attack? Pretty obvious … the targets, innit?

UHC-WP is in the same boat as NOWP, as a WP blog under their direct control, low storage space. Workable for now though.

Jstack does work as a convoluted process … it’s not designed as a news site, it’s for authors’ views, e.g. Dan Wootton, Nick Dixon. It’s designed as a traffic builder … we went through this long ago.

Recommendation from me? Still use things as they are if you feel you can, I just need to be more vigilant about NOWP.
