(0744) Morning all … becoming light out there, second sleep completed, rainy and bleah. (1103)
10. Today’s theme also looked at at TCW
Right, so they very much don’t want us congregating … as Liz says … who discusses matter of deep moment at home? Plus increasingly, the brainwashed young and normie olds are not only not going to generally agree but on matters they do, it will be Woke-accepted. Plus kids are increasingly in bedrooms or out, even at night, esp. with broken homes, i.e. violent male if any male, plus loony lefty woman.
The whole purpose is to prevent counter-ideas, prevent discourse … hence the rainbowing of or burning of churches or in subhuman countries … killing Christians, raping women and girls.
And it’s in every single damned western nation … no exceptions. So the whole pubs thingy, plus Starmer’s superinjunction … are about that. Now, let’s look at a situation where we are all little boxes bound … how are we communicating? Phone, pad, laptop. Control those and it’s game, set and match.

7. On DAD’s 6b
The last time a western country of over 25m ran a national referendum, excluding GEs, was Australia, where the communist govt tried to put The Voice as the topic. The official line was that the aborigines needed a special “Voice” in parlmt to “advise” govt on aboriginal-acceptable policy … in other words, stealing from Australians and giving it all, free to minorities, under govt control of course.
What the govt had not counted on was that aboriginals themselves were not for it on the whole, arguing that they already had the rights granted in the 1969 referendum. The Labor govt was apoplectic, the referendum was roundly defeated. In that case, the minority was largely wishing to integrate anyway … not as in Britain and America, where it wants to take over the country and run it in its own image. France too.
The danger is in the question form, also the practices used … reputable or BBC/C4 like? Nothing new:
6. DAD at 827:2
a) Austria: Right-wing FPÖ secures historic victory, but a ‘coalition of losers’ could still form against it.
b) French revolution? French interior minister shifts Right and wants ‘referendum on migration’ …
c) For several years, teachers have witnessed a rejection of scientific, historical and commonly accepted concepts: infinity in mathematics, the theory of evolution, secularism, gender equality, the human body… allegedly in contradiction with the values of I*l*m.
d) The Milliband brothers are very close.
(0308) One of these middle of the night things after the “first sleep”, shall post a bit, try for shuteye part two after that. Systems check. (0354)
5. Very clear red dividing line now
On one side are the shadow-psychos, their pollie-puppets, the myrmidons, MSM, all functions of govt, karens … and on the other … the “right” side of “wrong versus right”, the dispossessed.
4. Viktor Orban on point

1. Housekeeping
Not too keen to meddle with the page code as it’s ignored my tweaks so far … as long as you can see the text, well ok. I’m ok, using thumb and finger page enlarge … did use the Ctrl and scrollwheel on the laptop … one notch only needed … works well, no need to reset within the guts.
As for the other issue … comments in sidebar … trying to apply the AKH method of a few responses in the one reply but it does not always suit here, not enough regular response for that … so still trying to find the best way … no big issue. Not as critical here as at NOWP and UHC.
Quotes: colour green always more difficult than italics with this WP setup, occasionally use the former … there’s a very complex blockquote thing which wrecks the page so can’t be used.
(1509)(2011) Evening all.
19. Helene
2102: Hurricane Helene Death Toll Rises To 120, As Rescue Missions Battle Major Flooding https://oann.com/newsroom/hurricane-helene-death-toll-rises-to-120-as-rescue-missions-battle-major-flooding/ #OAN
Update 2051: I’m possibly not conveying the true extent of this thing:
Former Navy SEAL: “The devastation around here is hard to describe. All of the towns between where we live in Asheville are gone. Our neighbor down on the river lost his house. We just got power back last night, but we have no water. I have to go into town to make phone calls. We don’t have Internet. We are certainly much more fortunate than others. Several hundred people are apparently still missing and they are starting to find dead bodies in cars and in trees.”
Apparently it’s a Demrat area … therefore hopeless … shocking services.
…….
Earlier: Worse than thought … I’m thinking that Toodles and those around her area know the drill better as it often approaches but these people in NC have not had virtually tsunamis … it had been downgraded to tropical storm. Fed govt and major agencies useless:
Breaking News: All of the shelters in Asheville are at capacity. Fox News Reporters on the ground in Asheville say that FEMA isn’t on the ground helping the shelters and several have run out of water. The Fox Reporter is trying to find answers on why FEMA isn’t there to assist. (Nor the Red Cross.)
Thinking about here where I live … being on a hill, water would run off, maybe some of the foundations would be soggy but far more here, it’s the wind … gales from two sides have hit my abode in particular a few times in the past … the place actually rocks on its foundations.
Toodles and Asheville friend
From my friend…Asheville, NC:
Hey Toods. Yes we are o.k. It flooded badly here. Did not come in house. We lost Internet, phone, everything. Hope this goes through. Thank you for your concern. The creek in our backyard came way over banks….river in yard. The young people in our neighborhood are trying to reestablish banks. But we were lucky for it not to come in house. Will keep you posted.
Me:
Slashed truck tires up that way weeks before storm. Now the same since the store and supplies cannot get to those who need it. What does that sound like to you? Who do you think is slashing tires ? The storm….who caused it to become so large? How are these people going to manage … and then …. I hate to say this…vote?
18. Try these
a. Called residents of Réunion “savages”, just turned 90

13. Trail of Helene
There was one clip where a man and family were on top of their NC roof, just before the roof fell through … he, child, grandmother fell to their deaths … last count I saw was up around 60. One of the helpers was saying it was not the wind, it was the water surge and even after it had settled, still at roof level. Food, sanitation, obviously power.
Many surrounding state folk volunteering, saying forget FEMA, just get there. Yes, they have such things in the SE but it never gets better. Toodles’s daughter’s house … tree fell, branch straight through roof into living room. They have boats where Toodles is.

12. Lies, lies, lies!
Couldna bring m’sel’ to run that visage on the thumbnail … just a link HERE.
And here’s a song to go with it:
11. Been looking at the IRS
… and other sites, trying to sort out this “naturally born” thing. It’s clear that for tax purposes, the term “citizen” is broad and does not require being born on US soil.
“Natural born” though is associated with becoming POTUS and VPOTUS:
“What qualifies as a natural born US citizen? Anyone born on American soil whose parents are citizens of the United States is a ‘natural born citizen'”.
The key there, imho, is parents (plural). Plus “soil” may well include overseas territories. There’s also this:
Amendment XIV, Section 1, Clause 1 of the U.S. Constitution directs that all persons born in the United States are U.S. citizens. This is the case regardless of the tax or immigration status of a person’s parents.
Also:
Also:
John Armor Bingham, the American lawyer and politician who framed the 14th Amendment spoke on it, then:
He expanded his statement four years later on 9 March 1866, emphasizing twice that this required a man born to “parents not owing allegiance to any foreign sovereignty” so he would be “not owing a foreign allegiance”.[75]
Also:
In a 2012 New York case, Strunk v. N.Y. State Board of Elections,[5] the pro seplaintiff challenged Barack Obama‘s presence on the presidential ballot, based on his own interpretation that “natural born citizen” required the president “to have been born on United States soil and have two United States born parents” (emphasis added). To this the Court responded, “Article II, section 1, clause 5 does not state this. No legal authority has ever stated that the Natural Born Citizen clause means what plaintiff Strunk claims it says. … Moreover, President Obama is the sixth U.S. President to have had one or both of his parents not born on U.S. soil”. The opinion then listed Andrew Jackson, James Buchanan, Chester A. Arthur, Woodrow Wilson, and Herbert Hoover.[5]
To me, there is sophistry going on … the issue certainly is not both parents born on the soil plus under the jurisdiction but just “citizens” by any route. Both parents citizens does not mean both parents born on the soil
Obama’s mother was American, the father not … did he become naturalised? Also, did the mother rush to Hawaii so Barry would be born on US soil? The prime issue here is the status of Soetoro Snr.
With Harris, if the parentage is of importance, there seems skullduggery there but does it preclude her? Just what is it they don’t want known of her antecedents? How important are those antecedents?
Well, given her Starmeresque unleashing of hell on America coming up if DJT doesn’t make it … I’d say pretty vital.
Foreign allegiance doesn’t seem an issue here … Boris, plus Starmer in thrall to the WEF, also Blair and Brown.
(0845) Morning all … lovely day out there … not. (0937)
10. Covid and the deathjab

All right, obvious reaction of KK would be, no, to sue the hell out of CO’B? Do you recall the lawsuit? No?
Well what about Streisand on BT? All right then … the suit by Cheney? Bob Hope?
Ah, say you perhaps … that takes money. Uh huh … any of those not have money? Juss sayin’ like.

2. Jenrick’s gambit
When one needs to steal the entire quote but there’s a thing called netiquette, so one can only post a fragment and a link. AKH wrote, about Jenrick’s rubbish:
Asked about his past defence of former Conservative Party policies, the shadow home secretary said: “I have been a team player, which has meant I have had to promote other people’s ideas. I was happy to do so, it’s what you do as part of a team.”
Other people’s ideas eh? A pity they weren’t conservative ideas or even common sense ideas, true ideas, insightful ideas, scientific ideas, ideas about integrity and veracity …. (JH: and much more) …
The comments thread completes the picture.
These people are out of touch and morally bankrupt. Let’s return to the system, in the hands of and supposedly defended by paragons of virtue … MPs.
Essentially, 16.9% of eligible voters or 20.5%, depending on your figures, returned this govt, in these gerrymandered numbers, where the people engineering this fraud knew full well that people were either voting alien pressure group or red rosette as they always have.
What there was not … and the unprincipled again know this full well … what there was not was any political savvy among normies, any knowledge of political history, any thinking through … any interest in it at all.
There are various things at work:
*the lying by the wholly bought media, keeping normies in ignorance
*the parachuting in of candidates, often in the final stages, reducing scrutiny
*the notion of collective responsibility to Party only and Whips (thugs) to enforce it
*the electoral system itself
*this quote about “democracy”:
On the electoral system, first past the post enables, in this case, a single large party due to voter disgust with another party, without considering the untried but in France, it was often a coalition of various shades of left, until Micron just said no … and seemingly got away with it.
What is called AV here and downunder preferential, requires voters to put 1, 2, 3, 4 etc. in boxes next to names. In the hand count, whoever had the least votes goes out and his/her supporter’s second preferences come into play, votes placed on those other piles. Eventually, it ends up two-party preferred, with one winner. Produces two party parlmts.
Proportional … favouring coalitions of the left and few good policies.
None of those are good but the most iniquitous, perhaps, is a minority govt, on votes, ramming through policies anathema to a vast majority on votes but minority on seats.
1. DAD at 825
a) France’s vast public debt pile grew in the second quarter, official figures showed Friday, as Prime Minister Michel Barnier’s shaky minority government girds itself for a gruelling budget debate.
b) This “way of managing money and doing business that is consistent with the moral principles of Islam”, as defined by the Bank of England, has long flown under the radar of the general public.
JH: I plan to run this from DAD elsewhere too, not sure where yet.
c) Whilst literature teachers were once the only ones to sound the alarm, it is now all secondary and university teachers who are paying the price for this drop in standards. “My final year students are becoming incapable of constructing a sentence logically…”
d) Monday Mirthday.
