Thursday [1 to 5]

(0531) Morning all. I just wrote to a friend:

“And praying for Old Peculier’s wife. Horrible circumstances.  Think I mentioned he’s not peculiar that way … it’s the name of a famous beer here from the 70s/80s … I preferred XB but I do know the drop OP.  That tells me he’s a north-easterner, transported to NZ.” (0626)

JH: A word about not only Steve’s signposting here but everyone’s … the idea is to only give secondary source (reportage by me) at HQ … here is primarily a site for headlines. The actual good oil is across the way … my first stop, after looking at the inbox, is NOWP and then Jstack (we have a readership over there), plus a quick check of OoL, then Bookmarks 3 and of UHCWP for any new url buried in there … no one expects anything sensitive there … perfect storage place. Then out to key fellow bloggers, then X.

3. IYE and the burying of treasure

JH: There have been a few of these of late and the way they must be handled is to bury and go back to first principles. And what are these first principles? Well it comes down to what the site is about.

There are those into “scoops” on their “show”, monetising their soaring ratings … and then those whose job they see as bringing it but then the reader needs to exercise some brainpower to follow up. The principle is that we, the pundits, can lead a horse to water but that’s it.

What I’d personally do is get out the dead tree A5 pads I use and jot down, for example, the Thu 1 to 5 url, which is sufficient to access the comment … thence the good oil … and send it out to one of the archive centres. That’s all. What is of sufficient value to warrant such measures? Well, in Italy for example, one does not make reference to the Nobility of a darkish colour. There are local triggers too. Also, why do you think the old OoL went down? It wasn’t LR, it was poor security plus an anathema topic approached.

Not insulting you, reader, as you’ve bothered to come to find out, even to dig out. Here’s a snippet:

“Robert Kilroy-Silk’s former Veritas Party to undertake a detailed examination of the extent to which senior and junior ministers close to (one of the PMs) were given free licence to engage in paedophiliac activities under the protection of the (Sceptr’d) (dumbness) services.”

2. This was the door security DAD was referring to yesterday


1. DAD at 1235

a) The Farmers are angry. The map shows Autoroutes, but the protests are spreading to other roads; even my little nearby town is bloqué….

b) On Saturday, December 13, 2025, in several bookstores in Bordeaux (Mollat, Fnac, Relay, etc.), members of Extinction Rebellion carried out an action against books published by the Hachette group, owned by Vincent Bolloré**** since 2023.

c) If one does not want to invest money in the usual places, how about an Abbey? Would you like to give meaning to your savings by lending to the monks of Barroux to finance the construction of their wine tasting cellar?

Wednesday [6 to 10]

(0815) Probably light … morning all … I’ve gone back to bed. See Wed 7. If you can, put in a prayer for Old Peculier and good lady, also for those you know are needing it. Every little bit helps. (1009)

9. So much of this online now

… it has really changed from the Gen X Millennial woman can do anything, needs no man:


It’s being driven by late Millennial/early Gen Zee women, i.e. 23 to 30 year olds, more or less. This is great because in these is hope for the west … remember, these are the ones marrying and having the babies.

8. There’s an ordinary type of lady who is waking up


Still a long way to go though:


Some already know:


Thing with Sandy is … she knows things are bad but still trusts “Nige”, ignoring his track record, she’s a high up in Reform. With Jen, you can see where she is. Why am I expending so much time on this?

Women are the keepers of the culture men carve out, they protect the homefires. And with Gen Zee spearheading this now, who are their parents? Yep … Gen X, the original dissonants, the first to feel the cold wind. Real progress will come from these two generations.

That’s why knowing your generations also means so much … it’s not just a peccadillo.

7. Warning, good people

With Julia unwell with winter signs … throat, sniffles … do take care of body core temp, body extremities (do NOT leave uncovered at any time), keep up the liquid, soups etc., stay snug, go back to bed for short periods, move around a lot inbetween to keep the circulation moving, stay busy (easy at UHC), stay cheerful that we have a good assortment of curmudgeons, male, and quality females etc. etc. … y’all know these things but sometimes we can momentarily forget. As in cricket and baseball, one drop in concentration … wham. Keep the heater on low if possible, if you can afford it. For goodness sake, drop the gung ho and look after yourselves.

5. The story of Pepe

… in Roobee’s inimitable style:

… but also that our current Fourth/Winter/Crisis Turning probably started earlier than most people think, with the Dot-Com financial crash in 2000 (money/green), closely followed by the felling of the Twin Towers on 9/11 in 2001 (Muslim/green). All Fourth Turnings start with a bang, financial or physical; ours started with both …

I explored and found this:

“The Strauss–Howe generational theory, developed by William Strauss and Neil Howe, is a psychohistorical theory that posits American history follows a recurring cycle of four generations, each with a distinct archetype. The theory was first introduced in their 1991 book, Generations: The History of America’s Future, 1584 to 2069, and further explored in The Fourth Turning. This cycle is driven by recurring periods of crisis and resurgence, with each “turn” lasting about 20 years and the full cycle approximately 80 years.”

“The “Fourth Turning”: This is the final phase of the cycle, a period of crisis that destroys the old social order and creates a new one.”

The marxist pattern has five stages, the fifth being the reset, nirvana, the fourth being strife, deliberately designed to topple.

A Christian view of it says there is no fifth, ever, no pie in the sky … it’s the illusion spun by the 33rd degree, down through its acolytes and brainwashed.

This was part of Roob’s post:


Soulless, heartless, vindictive … we’ll come back to this “perfection” of the type.

2. Hypocrisy writ large


1. DAD at 1234

a) From the outside, the “Institut Évidences” appears as an independent scientific think tank dedicated to rationality and the fight against disinformation. But behind the polished image of “science at the service of public debate,” the organization reveals an architecture deeply connected to the state apparatus….

b) For the first time since World War II, there are more deaths than births in France. Demographic growth is driven solely by immigration.

c) The drug market at all-time high in France. For the first time, the cocaine market’s size has surpassed that of cannabis.

d) The mayor of Chessy (Seine-et-Marne) and all his deputies submitted their resignations from their executive positions on Monday, while retaining their seats as municipal councilors

“Never trust someone with skin problems:”

“The second of the Quatermass films (the first was THE QUATERMASS XPERIMENT, the “X” used to emphasise the adult X-rating the film received on its initial release) was allowed a slightly larger budget and benefited enormously from Nigel Kneale’s participation in the screenplay. In this film, at least Brian Donlevy behaves a little more like Quatermass ought to, though I still don’t think he was right for the part.

For my money, Quatermass should be a pipe-smoking English boffin with leather patches sewn on the elbows of his jacket. The original character was conceived as a kind of Barnes Wallis type, as portrayed by Michael Redgrave in THE DAM BUSTERS.

The movie is set in a post-war Britain that was a little panicked by the idea of nuclear weapons and even more unsettled by the knowledge that our former allies, The Soviets, had the same weapons and they were pointed at us. This was the climate that gave us Orwell’s 1984 and Don Siegel’s INVASION OF THE BODY SNATCHERS. Paranoia was out to get us …

This same atmosphere lasted well into the 1960s and can also be glimpsed in TV shows like THE AVENGERS. This was the era I grew up in, so I speak from personal experience 🙂

This movie is one of Hammer’s better offerings of the period. Released the same year as CURSE OF FRANKENSTEIN, it more than holds its own against the other, better-known Hammer colour offerings. Indeed, it benefits from its monochrome photography, which brilliantly communicates the austerity of the years immediately following WWII.

Thoroughly recommended, this film will appeal to anyone who can get beyond the admittedly primitive 1950s special effects to be rewarded by the rich and clever story that lies beneath the slightly dodgy veneer …”
