Sunday [6 to 8]

(0938)(1121)

8. IYE quotes a lady (initialled LL) at 801

Kamala Harris’s presidential campaign STAGED a fake emotional encounter with a woman on camera today at an event in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania that the campaign called “organic” and “spur of the moment” but I have uncovered the fact that the venue is actually an anti-Republican Spice Company called Penzey’s Spices that explicitly says on their company website that “Republicans are racist” and they don’t like or feel inclined to welcome Republicans or Trump supporters at their business!

Also JH paraphrases IYE from 802: (If) the Deep State has already lost:

“What Damage Will They Do on Their Way Out the Door”

7. TDS today (blogrolls)


6. Kathy’s outspokenness is welcome

… however, hate to say it but she’s becoming a semi-protected species, which is great in itself but if we lesser mortals quote or retweet, for example this:

(A)s we published one hard-hitting article after another – see our top ten articles. I got out and about too, braving my first TV appearance in a while on Dan Wootton’s exciting new Outspoken show. You can watch it here

He opened it with an impassioned indictment of the disgraceful decision by the Dorset senior coroner, one Rachael Griffin, to ‘spare’ the Home Office an inquest into the circumstances surrounding 21-year-old Tom Roberts’s savage murder at the hands of an violent asylum seeker. Allowed in on false pretences, this already known murderer was flagged up as a danger and a liar, yet was neither deported nor incarcerated and left free to kill again.

… then (cough)…

… I say nuffink, not a word, Two Tier Keir … it might even be seen as three tier … the untouchable with a certain world view aligned with Kommie Kier, then a middling lot of the Nigels, Kathys etc., more difficult to nail … Lee Anderson is another … then the poor sods with no protection from the stasi.

You can read all of Kathy’s piece at her place (blogrolls).

Sunday early [1 to 5]

(0630) Looks ultra-bleah out there in the semi-dark … misty? There are posts up at both OoL and Jstack now. (0900)

5. IYE corner

a. El Donaldo: “Therefore, the 2024 Election, where Votes have just started being cast, will be under the closest professional scrutiny and, WHEN I WIN, those people that CHEATED will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the Law, which will include long term prison sentences so that this Depravity of Justice does not happen again. We cannot let our Country further devolve into a Third World Nation, AND WE WON’T!”

b. “Kash Patel predicts the October Surprise will be Biden handing off the Presidency to Kamala in the run-up to the Election”.

c. Among other things, the state leadership has begun the process of moving the capital of the state, the city of Tehran, to another, more convenient and safe place. 

4. Seven blasts from the past

a. On Monday, March 4th (2024), French deputies and senators gathered in Versailles voted by an overwhelming majority to enshrine “guaranteed freedom of access to abortion” in the Constitution of the Fifth Republic. Progressives are delighted by what they see as a victory in a universal and titanic battle against the forces of obscurantism and are already preparing their next offensive.  https://europeanconservative.com/articles/commentary/constitutionalising-abortion-a-tragic-day-for-france/  No limit on weeks since conception – 12; 20; 26; pre-birth; post birth.  No limit on conscience to say ‘NO’ by Doctors; Nurses, Health Workers. No control over the dead baby; De-humanisation of life.

b. A long piece, well written and generally interesting:

https://barsoom.substack.com/p/political-conflict-in-the-age-of?utm_source=profile&utm_medium=reader2

c. “The erosion of parental authority when it comes to protecting and guiding children in developing their identities has deep implications. It presents the idea that the people who have conceived a child and guided them from their first steps, who have gotten to know their habits, patterns and inherent struggles, know less than gender-affirmative doctors, and progressive teachers who have known the child for a tiny fraction of their lives. The assumption that the state knows better and that parents can be removed from the delicate process of a child deciding who they are is a very large change for an entire nation to write into law!

HERE

{This c&p twice – once into notes and from there to here is a real pain in the harris!}

d. This means nothing to me but might shed light on those who understand what it’s all about:

HERE

e. Catherine Ringer is a former pornographic film actress. It was she who was chosen by Emmanuel Macron to perform the Marseillaise during the sealing ceremony of the revised Constitution with the addition of the crime of the unborn child, a true human sacrifice on the altar of a barren Republic. spilling the blood of the French.

The singer even revised the Marseillaise, in which she replaced the “impure blood” which “waters our furrows” with “a pure law in the Constitution”:

g. Shall be boycotting VNN (Vigilant News Network) from now on. Founder is Foster Coulson. Same chap who is behind TWC. Editor in Chief is “Vigilant Fox”. Hmm. Go to their leadership page for confirmation. Not leaving the link.

3. Just a word about images on the new site

This was donated by DAD:


… but with our sidebar setup here, images need to be in portrait mode (vertical), which preclude landscape (wider than higher) for that purpose… which in turn has precluded about half the library. On the other hand, when running an image within a post (as with DAD’s), a small “landscape” could go in the sidebar as you see just now, preferably monochrome. 🤔

This (change of) theme (template) overnight has some hidden benefits, not least the chance of once again running a narrow letterbox image across the top, not possible on yesterday’s opening theme (which sits in the theme library here by the way, should it be needed). I have a vague recollection that the theme does not allow pillarbox slot images … it wants to stretch them yugely (vertically) … that’s next week’s experiment.

The difficulty for me is in cutting and compressing one of those, quite a job for the old laptop on its last legs too by the way … the issue is “image resolution” you see and it’s not the doddle which the old site was with images … I tell you no porkies on that.

However, these things are sent to try us, are they not? Have a relaxed or invigorating Sunday.

2. More from DAD at 801

… on “the visible artificial self-assembling entities ranging from about 1 to 100 µm, or greater, of many different shapes of Co vid vaxxine in laboratory tests”.

  1. DAD’s last for awhile (at 801)

DAD mentions Bernier and “thousands of left-wing demonstrators rallied in central Paris”, surprise, surprise … “in protest” … “power grab” and “stolen election”. Macron? “He eventually chose Michel Barnier as his PM. But now, does he even know where he’s going with him?”

Meanwhile … “France and Britain need a showdown over Channel migrants because of Britain’s lax approach to black market work, the mayor of Calais has said”. Lax? Or agenda?

Making lionesses out of ladies … “There is no place for Orwell’s ‘thought police’ in 21st century Britain”: An Interview with Isabel Vaughn-Spruce.” All power to the lady lioness, the Trinity coursing through her veins … no place, not the time for weakness.

Saturday [15 till close of play]

(1530)

23. This is from Andy’s comment below the post

In the FT op-ed, they wrote: “There is no question that the international world order – the balanced system that has led to relative peace and stability and delivered rising living standards, opportunities and prosperity – is under threat in a way we haven’t seen since the Cold War.”

22. This is as close to a Steve-like drop as I can get

… at 800.

21. Deliberate misinterpretation of truth yet again

This time, the Toronto Sun … “caught on camera” is the misrepresentation. A pediatrician gives a press conference … so in which possible way is that “caught on”? The gambit is to make it seem she’s done something wrong, whereas the diametric opposite is the truth … just listen to her. Fakery.

20. IYE gets complicated at 800

… something about “Stereomicroscopically” …

19. Figen again

18. Just two more


17. Over at UHC

16. Over at Jstack

15. Vox and copyright

HERE

“The Internet Archive has lost its appeal in the copyright case against Hachette and three other publishers. The Second Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed the previous decision, from March 2023, that the Internet Archive’s Open Library program qualifies as copyright infringement. Hachette, HarperCollins, Penguin Random House, and Wiley initially filed a lawsuit against the popular nonprofit organization in 2020.”

Saturday [9 to 14]

(1132)(1249)

14. Lord T

13. Spiked

HERE

“There are two problems with Hoyle’s mini-rant. First, there’s the argument itself. Driving all arguments for state clampdowns on so-called misinformation is an elite desire to silence dissenting opinions and censor inconvenient facts. Hoyle is effectively urging the government to force social-media platforms to dictate what can and can’t be said online.

After all, who gets to decide, in Hoyle’s words, what is ‘factual’ or ‘correct’? Certainly no one in this mortal realm possesses the requisite omniscience. Indeed, we’ve seen countless examples over the past few years alone of views and even news stories initially damned by politicians and social-media companies as ‘misinformation’ or ‘disinformation’ only for their truth to emerge later on.”

12. Old news now

HERE

“Following his withdrawal from the presidential race and endorsement of GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump, Kennedy has tried to get his name removed from presidential ballots in swing states. However, in some of those states, Democrats have attempted to prevent him from doing so, even after they had initially tried to keep him from being placed on the ballot.

The independent presidential candidate suspended his campaign last month and endorsed Trump. Kennedy has also joined the former president’s transition team.”

11. Let’s come back to the new site yet again

There is, by definition, a discrepancy between how you, on your device, laptop, PC are viewing UHCHQ … and how I’m viewing it. My tech mate up the road has sent me what he’s seeing:

… and he asks why all the blank (light brown) space. Well it’s a 2012 template (theme), with limited physical width in std form (i.e. when it comes up on screen). It’s a deliberately simple content manager.

My concern is not the blank space per se but whether you, the reader, have the capacity on your device to insta-enlarge. I do, being on a touch screen ipad … thumb and forefinger instantly enlarge the view (or zoom, in other words).

Problem, as he pointed out, was that on various screens, enlarging will tip what’s on the edge of the page … offscreen. That’s true. I was suggesting a 5% zoom was enough.

But do you have, on your computer, a means to enlarge anyway? You see, I don’t want you having to enlarge UHCHQ, then having to reduce in order to read other sites … that’s a pain in the posterior, to be honest.

Another thing … if you want to, you can email me at:

jameshigham AT unherdable cats DOT com

… and it will appear in my protonmail. If I replied, it would be from my protonmail itself.

10. Ian J on things (at 800)

“Migrants Reportedly Make Up Roughly 75 Percent of Arrests in Midtown Manhattan”

9. Lord T asks

… is this the kind of “AI” mind we’re going to entrust our futures to?

Queen Bess’s b’day plus one of ours [4 to 8]

(0823) Very late start pour moi, I did crash again and slept through. Bleah out there in that Gates way. (1030)

8. Housekeeping – just when we thought it was safe

… there was one pesky detail which hit me like a smackeroo blurby … were this glitch I keep referring to occur … i.e. the site does go blank for you (an IP matter) … I’m … er … not going to know and I can see a case where my partner in crime also might not see that happen … he’ll know it has but he might not “see” it, physically.

In that situation, I’m going to rely on you, good reader, telling me asap … the obvious place is at NOWP as the ticker instantly tells me and I can then set the chain of events in motion … but a comment at any other site in the complex would also do that … or email if you prefer.

Just in case you need the email address, here tis again:

nourishingobscurity AT gmail DOT com

Plus there’s another failsafe email:

jimbohigham AT protonmail DOT com

Now, patient readers … there are other emails not used as yet but that’s not relevant for now.

7. The three letter sites today (urls from blogrolls)


6. Ian J

Stranded astronauts’ capsule to head home without them … Are the americans so paranoid that they won’t ask the russians to bring back the stranded astronauts?

5. DAD on this auspicious Saturday

a) Across at 799 is a chart of European endebtedness.

b) New PM’s Appointment Could Reshape French Political Life.

c) A former Labour councillor has denied encouraging violent disorder in a speech where he called for political opponents to have their throats cut. Ricky Jones, 57 …

4. As you can see, dear reader, it’s a special birthday

… but it’s also the birthday today of a special patron of this site … one of our two … she has not allowed me yet to name her as I forgot to ask, and I’m not dropping the slightest hint, I’ll just toodle along and get down to biz.

3. Very early roundup

(0119)

a. George:

President Trump has appointed Dr. Ben Carson to be his National Faith Chairman to activate Christian voters to turn out and VOTE in November. In 2016, Dr. Carson was instrumental in convincing Christian leaders to get behind Trump.

b. Craig:

The cost of furnishing flats for asylum seekers cannot be released because the issue is too “sensitive”, a watchdog has ruled. John Edwards, the Information Commissioner, has ruled in favour of the Home Office, which refused to reveal the cost of furnishing a block of flats to be used by 346 asylum seekers in Farnborough, Hampshire.

c. Alexandra:

Sydney Mayor, Clover Moore, likes to talk about ‘more bike lanes’ but what she never mentions is that George Street is now one long line of homeless encampments down toward Broadway – or the dozens of drug addicts and mentally unstable people verbally abusing pedestrians all day.

d. George:

After receiving a massive wave of public pressure, California Governor Gavin Newsom has just VETOED AB 1840, the bill approved by the state legislature to give up to $150,000 to illegal immigrants to buy homes Even a broken clock is right twice a day In his veto, Newsom said, “Given the finite funding available for CalHFA programs, expanding program eligibility must be carefully considered within the broader context of the annual state budget to ensure we manage our resources effectively. For this reason, I am unable to sign this bill.”

e. Mercedes’ bro Mike:

Feb 10, 2023: Just ONE MONTH into Lula’s term, President Biden and President Lula met in Washington & SPECIFICALLY pledged the US government would “work together” with Brazil’s government to stamp out “disinformation.”

f. Chris R:

Just 3 days to go before Keir Starmer releases 2,000 criminals early from prison. We currently have over 10,000 foreign nationals in our prisons that could be deported.

g. Pavel D:

Last month I got interviewed by police for 4 days after arriving in Paris. I was told I may be personally responsible for other people’s illegal use of Telegram, because the French authorities didn’t receive responses from Telegram. This was surprising for several reasons: 1. Telegram has an official representative in the EU that accepts and replies to EU requests. Its email address has been publicly available for anyone in the EU who googles “Telegram EU address for law enforcement”. 2. The French authorities had numerous ways to reach me to request assistance. As a French citizen, I was a frequent guest at the French consulate in Dubai. A while ago, when asked, I personally helped them establish a hotline with Telegram to deal with the threat of terrorism in France. 3. If a country is unhappy with an internet service, the established practice is to start a legal action against the service itself. Using laws from the pre-smartphone era to charge a CEO with crimes committed by third parties on the platform he manages is a simplistic approach. Building technology is hard enough as it is. No innovator will ever build new tools if they know they can be personally held responsible for potential abuse of those tools.

2. Seven blasts from the past

(Sep 7, 1242) An occasional series:

a. “The U.S. military has been using green lasers over the Hawaiian islands since at least 2013.

Referred to as Topographical Mapping they are used for military and geological use to scan the Earth’s surface, atmosphere, and pollution.

In January, earlier this year, green lasers were suggested to have come from an orbiting Chinese satellite, mapping Pearl Harbour on reconnaissance––possibly for a military strike. 

However, the U.S. Army Corps announced a few months later that they would be conducting coastal surveys with green lasers––June 2023. 

These are from a range produced by Raytheon, Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, and Boeing, who also make Direct Energy Weapons [DEWS].

Lockheed Martin delivered LANCE (Laser Advancements for Next-generation Compact Environments), a high-energy laser weapon, to the US Air Force, in June 2022.

In August 2022, they delivered HELIOS a high-energy laser weapon system to the U.S. Navy.

b. Ben Bergquam Reports from Darién Gap That US is Funding Processing Centers in South America and Flying Illegals into America Before They Reach The Border.

c. Police said when Thomas Kingston’s death was announced earlier this week that there was nothing suspicious about it. (It was just) “Catastrophic head injury”.

d. “Where’s S Nonban’s EXCLUSIVE Interview With Jeppree Epbeen?”

e. Despite a much-heralded and historic pledge signed by all 43 police constables in England and Wales in 2022 to have officers personally visit the scene of all home burglaries, there has been a decline in the overall solve rate and 48 per cent of all neighbourhoods have seen zero burglaries solved over the previous three years, the Daily Telegraph reports.

f. Jan 27, 2022, Victoria Nuland: “If Russia invades Ukraine, one way or another, Nord Stream 2 will not move forward.”

g. RFKJ: I asked him about how he made his money. I knew he was the money manager for Leslie Wexner. How did you go from a math teacher at Dalton School to that… He said some Chinese people had approached him, who had been taking advantage of American grifters and he had succeeded in doing it. And that had launched his career.
