(0808) Morning all, not as foggy out there … yesterday, I saw unrepentant chemtrail layers up there after the fog dispersed. (0926)

 

3. Rennes University

A fair translation imho:

Rennes 2, ransacked by the far left, cannot reopen its doors! The presidency of the University of Rennes 2 has just announced the total closure of the university for at least 1 week following the ransacking of the university by the far left.

Right … someone like The Donald would send in the equivalent of ICE to track down this far-left and send them to the French equivalent of a Gitmo. Softer people such as I/me would write “learn’ed” philosophical articles about the history of France, the Revolution, 1968, all the rest of it.

I’m actually going to write of my university days … there was a university with its proportion of public school boys and girls … sons and daughters of the rich, the movers and shakers, there was the middle class represented, there were some from working bkgds, often on scholarships.

Guess who the real radicals were? Well let’s just say the key instigator, name withheld, a quite well fed lad, went on, after university post-grad studies, into his father’s firm, ending up in charge of that by then multinational company … hardly one of the starving masses.

I don’t recall what the mass sit-in was about and that’s stated seriously, call it early Alzheimer’s, but the most radical occupied the admin building, taking staff hostage … the actual brass notably absent that day … I understand they all had cuppas from the teamaking machines and presumably their home-packed sandwiches. Lots of chanting … so we could hear from the other buildings.

The ringleaders were suspended for some time later Ron, in the denouement. One thing I vividly recall was the MSM arriving, as if to a war zone and a total scumbag presenter striding into the main square, cameras, mics, entourage, live broadcasting from the scene … the cars and vans had actually torn in and slammed brakes on, ultradramatically … and so on.

I watched that report that evening on the prime news channel … my dad asked if I’d been involved. Not only had I not but the place had been near deserted … students either in lectures, tutorials, absent or in the Union cafe. That damp squib was translated into mass insurrection on the evening news.

Which faction were we then? Anarchist Revolutionary Students in Education … we held our meetings in the bathrooms and sent our demands on loo roll paper. The Fabians, Stalinists, Trotskyists and whatever dismissed us as “unserious” … nous! Cochons.

Yes, I’ve withheld the name of the Chief Student Radical because it sounds quite similar to the luminaries of the Frankfurt School, certain banksters and WEFers and I’d not wish to be calle antiS, would I now?

To the Rennes thing … go on a rampage, daub walls, deface paintings, tear down statues? Nope … we’d certainly have sprayed on an outside wall: “Kissinger out!” or similar. In short, unlike the Weathermen (Obama’s mentors), Baader-Meinhof, the Munich games massacrists etc., we’d never have acted completely OTT, completely out of control with zero respect for anything and anyone from any side … we targetted people like Moseley, Powell … Thatcher would have been a target a decade or two later … LBJ earlier.

So what’s happened since those days? Well … breakdown of families, death of authority, absence of any code of restraint … you could write this article yourself. And all instigated by very bad people behind the scenes over a long period … institutionally. Mark Elias would be one of those in the US … but always one of the myrmidons. The real baddies? Put a zu or von in front of the name, maybe Prince … no different to Buchan’s paragraph in The 39 in 1915. Also read The Missing Children post again. END.

The importance of kidding ourselves plus not kidding ourselves

… in fairly equal measure. There’s a balance we must strike. Things we must do, attend to … silly not to … do them at the time, then switch out, expunge thinking about unpleasantries, do not dwell, can’t stress that enough … think of nice things, friends, laughs, get enough sleep overall in the 24 hours, liquids, exercise, watching the vulnerable bits.

Mine are knees … they’re in good nick and I wish to keep them that way … no twists, turns, brain way ahead of bod … not to have mobility does not bear thinking about, it simply does not. What we eat, liquids, looking after ourselves. We’re not much use to our family and friends otherwise.

I’ve some ongoing trouble coming up in RL, we were discussing it yesterday … might be terminal to the blogging and soc-medding, might not. To a person used to anticipating, thinking ahead, difficult shutting things out, constantly shoring up perimeter defences … what we can’t control though, we then need to shut out … that is … kid ourselves things are ok.

Within our citadel itself we are ok, providing we did our routines right, checked our defences.

Then turn to the pleasantries such as writing to you. I’ve written before about mental health … Them wish to impair it, impair us ourselves, kill off our life in this land … they’re not going to win, that’s that. Is this kidding ourselves?

What I’m trying to get at here is yes, we need space to withdraw for sure but … but … but … only once we’ve shored up our defences, taken care of what has to be taken care of. The worst possible thing is to dwell on horrors, even on what we must do tomorrow, next week … as long as we’ve done what we can, then shut it out, let no one drag us back to it until it’s time to do it.

Refusing to dwell in some sort of perma-despair is the best thing we can do … it keeps the mind clear, able to help others who need us. I’m quite categorical about this … yesterday, we made a time to discuss all these things, MMutR and I … we then did that … I now shut it out until the time to address it again and turn to other matters … a mix of reporting the world’s horrors, plus time for pleasantries … was looking for Christmas cake to buy, no luck, settled for muffins … 3 for 2 deal. Nice coffee here.

Having a sort of ongoing diary is good … make notes to do this or that on this or that day … plus actually do them, that’s the buzz of “being on top of things” … so be realistic … and the lovely thing about notes is we can leave them in the tray, secure they’ve not been lost, relax, mind clear … next week, close to the time, bring them out, skim down, address whatever it is.

Someone wants to drag it all back up in the meantime? Nope. Flat no.

I’d obviously suggest the help of our Maker in this … look, you dismiss or consider that statement as is your wont … I’m just saying it’s an enormous comfort and if we’re comforted, able to be, then those who know us can feed off that too, a bit.

The tavern idea of this blog is very nice too, the chapel in the grounds as well … sounds crazy coming from me but I enjoy returning, seeing who’s said what, dropping back to sleep, just checked out NOWP, will do the rounds in a few hours.

Zzzzzzz.

This has a good name from what I’ve read:

“With its small town setting, use of a local ‘roadhouse’ and the casting of Charles Coburn and Barbara Bates it’s fairly obvious the British-made crime melodrama “Town on Trial” had its eye on the American market, (even the title sounds more American than British). John Mills is the policeman investigating the murder of local good-time girl Molly, (Magda Miller), and the movie is told in flashback. All we know is that the killer is one of a group of men seen watching Molly bounce around on the tennis court in the opening sequence and director John Guillermin does a fine job of keeping us guessing as to which one it might be. All the performances, particularly Mills and Coburn, are excellent and as murder mysteries go this one is surprisingly intelligent and consistently enjoyable. One of Guillermin’s better efforts.”

Seasonal thing. Went to lights off at 0745, on at 1645. Conclusion? This lengthening of days is not at both ends equally … sunrise and sunset. Sunset is “latening” daily in leaps and bounds, whilst sunrise has only “earlyered” about half an hour since the solstice.

Also, there’s a peasouper out there right now … the fog right over our road. No wonder so many, inc. our Julia, are down with lurgy (last I heard, must check).

9. From DAD drops at 961 … BNE link

“The EU entered this year with 5% less gas supply, following the expiry of the five-year contract covering Russian natural gas transit through Ukraine on December 31. This has already triggered major supply shifts, as buyers in Central and East Europe have scrambled to find alternative supplies. Russian gas supplies through the TurkStream in January were up 27% year on year and 4% month on month, reaching 1.56bn cubic metres, as Hungary imported more gas via the route to offset its lost deliveries through Ukraine. Slovakia, which had relied on Ukrainian transit to cover roughly 60% of its demand, is likely to follow suit in using TurkStream, importing via Hungary.”

… over at OoL:

https://orphansofliberty.blogspot.com/2025/02/the-gaza-riviera.html

Plus an extension into mystical realms here. Yep … the Book of Revelation (drumroll).

You see, laze and gem … if you have any eschatological knowledge, you will know about the antiChrist, about the ten northern nations attacking, of their defeat, presumably of the Mussies too, by this omnipotent returned Messiah, of how the conquering hero then goes into the rebuilt Third Temple and does the abomination of desolation … it was all a trick.

Some versions have this three and a half years through hell on earth, with the last three and a half years of the world to follow … extermination of Jew and Christian, the two witnesses in the street and so on.

Now, my personal view is that I have not a clue where and when … might be now, might be a long time away (many generations), might have been in AD70 … so many interpretations (correct me if I’m wrong).

Mind you … the notion of Gaza Riviera … phew, talk about a surefire way to set off Armageddon … the nutter deathculters would go out of their skulls over that, Russia of the ten northern nations would involve itself, as would China.

Now, you already know about the rebuilt Karakoram Hwy through China, around Tibet (current home of Djwahl Kuul), through Pakistan, down to Israel … used to be called the Silk Road. Crosses two rivers, the Tigris and Euphrates, rivers of blood, passes Babylon by the way, ends up at Har Megiddo. Just mentioning it. 200 million troops by the way.

Juss sayin’ like but the Gaza Riviera is very much an odds-on certainty to kick all that off. Za fun vee haf, nein?

1. Housekeeping continued from 960 across the way

… meaning my comments there under Andy’s and Steve’s. Now pls look at this one moment:

That’s from UHC (see navbar above). Readers tend to have their fave one of the four blogs to comment at and that’s fine … sometimes it’s coz you can’t get a comment through at the others … the vagaries of commenting. It’s useful to have that in the arsenal for regulars here at the “combined unherdables”.

Is there a designed pattern to where I post of the four? Not really … my own posts tend to mainly be here at HQ, always checking over at NOWP … constantly. Sometimes I’m mainly over there reading/watching, e.g. this morning.

Also don’t forget the sidebar comments threads at the three WP sites, such as the screenshot just above here. Doonhamer can often be found there, other guys plus Darl Pattison at Jstack (below the post). To my mind, it’s nice that way … always feel free to comment on something over at another of the four in the stables, even if it’s on a post at one of the other four.

I’d just ask that you’d be so good as to clearly signpost, esp. the number of the post. Something signposted as Thur 1 could only ever be here, 961 could only ever be at NOWP, a Jstack post would say that, ditto a UHC post would say UHC.

That’s also the fallback/failsafe order too, should any site of the four go down.

I do ustd that this whole palaver can be a pain in the bleedin’ neck or posterior … readers prefer just to drop into the one site per blogger … end of … then onto the next in your rounds. Yes … agreed, I’m a reader too, don’t forget … but do consider John Ward (The Slog), who relied on the one trusty site … easy target I’m afraid in 2025. That’s why I do it this way. Things change? We’d need to too.

(1725) Evening all … much happening. Quick housekeeping note … you may have noticed “screenshot” still below some pics … these are where there was a link or Read more or Show more or part of a text seems to be missing. It’s meant to indicate that yes, I did see the request to click, did in fact click and look. If worth posting … saved. If not … short form here. We can always go back if readers want.

25. Opening with Andy

 

Garage bands have always been interesting if they’re any good, if they can play. Experimenting with roles can be even better … for example, all guitars but bass laying down the rhythm section with drums … the bass and soft vocal, not alpha, dominating, playing lead.

Such was noise pop or shoegazing from 1989/90 which the song below is from.

Just setting the scene … we generally start, at this site, in the pre 1920s, a bit of ragtime, we heavily play the 20s, not going too far into the 30s when it went too orchestral. Big bands don’t do a lot for me … 30s/40s, occasional songs being all right. I particularly dislike squeaky new jazz such as the felonious monk.

It started coming good again in the 50s, then the music just died. The 60s had some fun early but became druggier and druggier, the flower in the hair thing was take it or leave it. British invasion had some good pop … almost completely missed mentioning jive, much which was fun.

Woodstock was the nadir for me … drugs, thots, over complicated sounds from bands fancying themselves as almost classical … many will disagree with me on Floyd and the like. Metal began, which to me was humourless, postulating noise with no rhythm. I don’t mind noise if melodic – see song below.

70s fashions were awful … flares, tight shirts unbuttoned to the waist, chains … the music though was experimental and fun again, punk was a phase we had to have, some of those bands came through and were great, late 70s saw some good things happening, musically, though forlorn like Joy Division. Around 1980 saw ska … fun again.

Glam and techno arrived, also awful, the 80s were pretty dire for music, with some exceptions. The late 80s picked up again with early rap, or pseudo with Betty Boo. The late 80s/early 90s saw some experimentation again but there were also dire boy bands … by 1997, the pop music scene was pretty much dead, with autotuned horrors, adenoidal voice throwers and so on.

Thus, if you take maybe 1917 as my start point, ending about 1997, then that’s eight decades of variable popular music. I’m not expecting anyone to like Pale Saints, not least because it is noisy, loud, but with soft overtones which certainly offer counterpoint. What I like are the drone, the use of bass as lead, the voice almost as instrument in itself, the highly melodic tone, not unlike with the Strangler’s Skin Deep.

Sadly, the phase, which had also seen New Order, died … had kids changed? Had they been ruined by then? Actually, who would have listened to this song apart from me? I’m thinking someone born in the first half of the 70s … still children in 1980. What Generation is that? Maybe later Gen X. Do we at this site actually know any later Gen X? Doubt it. Not expecting our readers to like this:
