Isilme’s November harvest report

Thought I’d catch everyone up on the garden / produce.

After our two weeks away, we returned to find most of the green tomatoes have actually ripened. We had a few black cherry tomatoes (they are meant to be black!) and I discovered that even they were red underneath – the skin that didn’t turn black turned red. Fun!

Apparently, while we were away there was a storm. We had lovely sunshine down south. But up north, it was a bit more grim! Our neighbour told us that one of the small trees in our front garden ended up on the road so they threw it on the bonfire. That was fine, but it took us a while to find out where it had gone from (we hadn’t even missed it). It looks like one of the trees split in two and that was what fell. How it happened to that tree and not the others around it, I don’t know!

Due to the storm, the apples in the back garden were mostly on the grass. The pippin had no leaves. I had picked some of the pippins before going on holiday and managed another full basket after we came back. I’m contemplating what to do with them all. Maybe I’ll make apple jelly again. Maybe I’ll make apple pie filling and bottle it.

My Beloved has, for the past week, gathered the cooking apples practically every day and put them in the press to make cider or cider vinegar. They’re Bramleys and are surprisingly sweet. No wonder the jackdaws come in flocks to eat them. Still, there’s plenty to go round and we’ve already given away several bags full.

The strawberries are coming along well. Getting bigger and one even has a blush of red. I don’t know if they’ll ripen if I bring them in. I’ve never had strawberries in November before. We’ve never had such a large crop of strawberries before either, almost continually since the summer.

Remember I picked every last runner bean before we left for our holiday? Well, the beans are producing more now! It’s crazy.

Meanwhile, the holly tree is preparing for a hard winter. I’ve rarely seen so many berries on it! It looks lovely and Christmassy!

Meanwhile, the flowers are still looking good. Some had died off and are now into their second blooming this year (unusual). They’re a cheerful sight on these grey November days. And to my astonishment, one of the garden trees has mostly yellow leaves – and one that is PINK! Red I expect, but never have I seen them pink before.

4. Some sort of Sunday op ed

a. First of two … see 863:7a about Fulton County not informing GOP it was counting over the weekend, no GOP observers present … out and out fraud. For a start, I’m both used to and actually was, on more than one occasion, a “scrutineer”:

I’m stunned that the concept does not exist in the USA, at least in Federal elections … maybe they call it “observer” … whereby parties with over X% of the vote last election get to appoint one scrutineer per counting table, the count only taking place between certain set hours … very strictly for obvious reasons.

As for vote flipping machines controlling the count from overseas via intranet or internet … I’m just stunned. How on earth can an electoral process take place under those conditions and not be called third world? And counts going past midnight on election day, without troops being detailed to watch from outside the counting room?

Having said all that … just how does an incoming party, as in the UK, get to promise their manifesto, get in on 20% of the eligible vote, then promptly reverse the policies they were returned on the basis of? How does that keep happening if there’s an independent and fair MSM?

b. Second of two is from 863:4e: “Jena Griswold “breaks” 2024 election in Colorado: Results will be 100% non-certifiable, warns Patrick Byrne” and concentrates on Patrick Byrne himself.

I’d suggest first familiarise yourself, through the enemy Woke left Wikipedia with its attempted takedown:

Coming from the business sector for a start means he lacks the study tools to dig deep enough but it means he’s a key observer of anomalies … which combination makes him less party-loyal and more pragmatic about reality.

He’s well nigh useless where loyalty to a human organisation is involved as he is just as liable to critically look at his “own” side of politics as he is at the enemy … and in that sense, it places him vaguely where IYE and I am … no one quite knows how far to trust, not being entirely sure how the guy ticks … which again is a good place to be if you’re a ferreter or alt-journo.

For now.

c. Reader pete at 863:6, on “Global Technocratic Governance” … and the end of democracy forever … plus IYE returned in comments at UHC under the post on accountability.

The latter will take some unpacking but I’d suggest you really owe it to yourself to explore that … the biz on Rowan Williams came from there.

Snippet from a Kemi Badenoch interview on Politico:

“Ahead of a decisive U.S. election next week, Badenoch praised the Democratic Party candidate, Kamala Harris. “She’s got a very good sense of humor. She’s clearly somebody who speaks with a lot of positivity and optimism.””

That attitude doesn’t bode well for the Tory party.

Today’s cryptic commentary

From the mouth of the oyster itself came this article over 22 years old:

“An ancient early morning ceremony yesterday saw the incoming (dignitary) stepping into a circle of Pembrokeshire stones and into a controversy. (He) donned a long white robe, stood inside the sacred circle in a mist shrouded field in Wales, and became a druid … one of 50 people to be inducted into the Gorsedd of Bards during the service at the National Eisteddfod, a celebration of Welsh culture this week at St David’s, Pembrokeshire.”

What’s unusual or untoward about that, you might say … those sorts of things happen in Wales, at Glastonbury, on Anglesey and so on. True but he was also a supposed major Christian … damned funny way to practise biblical Christianity.

Now I discover that he is also a member of the Collegium Internationale … you know, the new rulers of the world. How did I discover this? Well I didn’t really … an old friend delivered some notes … I read them but went further afield after that … ask and it shall appear in print.

It does confirm to me things about Welby of course … but that’s par for the course.

Could you also read all this? But of course … they’ve been left lying around somewhere around our tavern grounds, in some outhouse … anyone might stumble upon them … mind you, it may take a bit of work, a bit of effort … but it’s all there should you want.

17. All bets, ladies and gentlemen, please

There’s the public account we’re all watching … how the heroes such as Pressler and others are stemming the fraud … and well done.

That’s in swing and Dem states. But what of the bought or threatened Electors themselves, who decide, many allegedly compromised? What of the millions who have crossed the border and cast votes, controlled by Obama and the gangs? What of US forces bosses who have promised to use lethal force on key characters? Will an adoring public defend these or run for cover? When the chips are down, what will people actually do?

Then there’s the global “coming out”, the actual start of the new World Govt … Obama seems to me to be smug, having all bases covered in the west.

16. Excerpt from Vox

HERE

”Anyone who has even a modicum of fighting or sports experience knows that temporary retreats are always necessary, and an intrinsic element of engaging in conflict at any level. The fighter who never retreats is one who leads with his face. The general who never retreats is one who soon finds himself cut off from reinforcements and logistics, and is certain to be surrounded and forced to surrender.

The media doesn’t understand even the first thing about war. When Putin was mocked for months because the Russians withdrew from Kiev, and later, from part of Kherson, what was characterized as “a humiliating setback” was nothing more than saving one’s forces and correctly prioritizing men and material over territory that couldn’t be held anyhow.”

15. Jo Nova on Wayback

HERE

“Four weeks before the biggest election in history, the The Wayback Machine, was hacked in a major DDOS attack. The site was restored partially, but for the moment operates as “read only”. It is not possible to ask the archive to save a page. In a strange coincidence, Google caching stopped earlier this year and officially ended in September. So there is suddenly no recognised source of common shared truth about the history of the internet at the moment. Officially, supposedly, they will be back in action, sometime, one day, and theoretically they are copying the same pages they normally copy, they just can’t update yet, or archive new pages…

Imagine how convenient that might be if someone were planning to lie, cheat, or change their story after the election?”

“We need to be clear: the aim of the Blair-Brown-Starmer constitutional changes is to take power away not from Westminster but from us.

The Glorious Revolution of 1688 put the Crown under Parliamentary control, counterbalancing it with a Protestant male bourgeoisie. In the centuries since then we have seen a Glorious Evolution into a secular non-sexist democracy with religious and ceremonial trappings.”

a) The other day I noted that the weapons used by the Drug Gangs had escalated to AK47s. When I opened the ‘France de Souch’ site yesterday evening the first four items were on shootings. Poitiers, Valence, Rennes and Clerment-Ferrand; with another two stabbed to death.

b) Things are also hotting up for those who have been Ordered to Quit the Territory of France. A 19-year-old migrant sentenced to three months in prison for refusing to leave France.

c) It’s halloween – bring out the witch – Nuland.

1. All Souls Day

Not a universal commemoration, it’s associated with Roman Catholicism. Wiki:

The theological basis for the feast is the doctrine that the souls which, on departing from the body, are not perfectly cleansed from venial sins, or have not fully atoned for past transgressions, are debarred from the Beatific vision, and that the faithful on earth can help them by prayers, alms, deeds, and especially by the sacrifice of the Holy Mass.

We do get into the age old question of “by faith alone” or “by deeds” or “by faith, then deeds”. Call it a cop-out on my part but as I simply don’t know much, but am sure about a judgment day which has much scriptural basis … I’d say we are called to account and this is where the deeds part becomes an issue.

If we are saved by “sola scriptura”, rather than by deeds alone … that’s fine but what of these monsters on the satanic side … the high priest demonrats for example, the monsters … they certainly believe in the Trinity as they spend so much time and effort tearing it down, burning it down, corrupting and the profile of a monster “philanthropist” like Gates is that they believe in the old black-white “balance” of good deeds/evil deeds, which is perverted.

To Them, one rapes and murders some children, destroys farmland, then balances it by pouring cash into some “worthy” philanthropy such as insects and fake meat. It’s utterly twisted, as are the upper echelons of masonry beyond the “blue degrees”. Confess on Sunday that which you’re about to do again on Monday. It’s even a twisting of Catholicism.

In that is not the slightest purification of the heart, drawing closer to your Maker … it’s all externalised. And just like an alcoholic or druggie who kicks the habit … reality is more two steps fwd, one step back … it takes time. The Catholics say if you die before becoming purified of sin, then it takes time somewhere … heart (remorse, restitution) and presumably deeds.

The Protestant notion of sola scriptura is equally extreme … the notion that you only need to believe and hey presto, you’re saved, no matter what you do in deeds or in nasty character. It’s just as bad as “confess on Sunday that which you’re about to do again on Monday”.

To my mind, it’s more a case of once you realise you did some pretty bad things and regret, have remorse, plus you believe you can be saved, then the long road starts to bettering oneself bit by bit, even redress the wrongs. You’ll fall back, go fwd … you’re not some insta-saint. Purgatory makes sense to me … a long process of redressing … but whether it’s formalised in a Purgatory or we actually are at sleep after passing over, I don’t know.

The two important things, it seems to me, are faith and redressing in the heart … the rest are details.

One thing which worries me with Catholicism … and it certainly worried Luther and Zwingli, plus Chaucer … was the notion of confessing to a mortal priest, twirling a few beads, saying hail Marys, buying and selling indulgences, paying the Church money or whatever and all is well. That downplays subsequent bad behaviour, it says there are no consequences of falling away regularly as you can sort it in the confessional and the Church makes a financial killing.

Where, in that model, does the third part of the Trinity, the Spirit, enter the individual heart and soul? I think it’s entered Archbish Vigano … he’s taking chances, that man, against the evil muvver Bergoglio … he’s far more a man of God, so to speak, than Bergoglio or Welby imho.

To my mind, yet again, it’s the state of your heart which counts in any of this, your desire to do right, make amends, just as Jason Bourne did in Russia, visiting that child he’d orphaned.

Having said all that, what about this All Souls Day? Well, why not, think I? It’s as good a day as any, it’s good to remember your antecedents, forebears, ancestors, the forgotten. Why not, I repeat? Think it was some bishop, was it not, who saw flames and heard the cries of the dead, instituted this Day.

What of the infidel deathculter, the pagan, the Buddhist? The Wiccan? I reply in Russian: “Kto znayet,” or “Who knows?”

What I do know is that we’re in a time of great danger now, not just for the west but for the world … many august people have used the term spiritual warfare … I believe it’s so … and cold, Starmer-like hearts “rule” over us now, utterly without compassion, corrupt, even perverted.

What’s “rule” mean here? It means making laws at whim or per agenda, totally at odds with our welfare, and there’s nothing whatever we can do to stop these bstds.

That’s why that LB/CO youtube was so important … snippets in it … such as how some bloodlines continue in power, names change, all sorts of legalities change … but these old bloodlines (corrupted or nephilim?) must go on, in their depraved hearts.

Can they be defeated, purged? Or do they go to ground, only to arise again a generation later? Kto znayet?

Much to think on, too early in the morning. At least it’s a Saturday morning.
