(0759) Morning all … sunny out there, birds chirping, wasps about to come out. (0815)

 

11. From Kathy’s comments thread

BB2: “It’s only disappointing if you believed in Reform to start with. If you know their name, they’re in the game (Miri AF).

Please do not ignore the evidence.  As people became disillusioned with the main parties, various alternative ones sprang up. Two of them (Reform, and Fox’s outfit) mysteriously got acres of free publicity in the mainstream media. The others did not.

Fox is an actor, funded by powerful backers. Reform – well, we have just seen what it is. They are both controlled opposition at the top and always were. Rupert Lowe was getting out of hand and dropping too many truth bombs which would have led to Reform developing as a genuine political party and maybe becoming real opposition.

There is genuine opposition to Agenda 2030 across the political spectrum. UKIP, the Social Democrats, the Heritage Party (which is my personal favourite), Britain First. But you never hear about them, and Reform would not have got any further if it hadn’t had so much free publicity.”

HMS Lion: “Indeed, in one absurd self-inflicted episode, Reform have revealed themselves as part of the problem, and not part of the solution. Sad, after promising so much, that it should unravel like this, though in fact there have been previous warnings too such as Ben Habib quitting the party, Andrew Bridgen opting not to come on board, and the jettisoning of numerous candidates for the last General Election at the behest of Hate Not Hope and with barely the semblance even of a kangaroo court. There is simply not the time however to start all over again now, and no party will ever be perfectly aligned with every viewpoint, that being impossible except in a party composed of sheep. How the Tories, Liebour and the Establishment must be laughing. Old acquaintances who’ve been quiet about politics for some time suddenly finding their voices and keyboards again. Thoroughly depressing all round at how easy it was to halt the Reform bandwagon. Time perhaps for that B2 USA visa. There’s not much hope left here, just plenty more hate coming for us.”

That comment of Steve’s: “The Reform debacle – endless bloviating on TV/Radio over what Rupert did, or didn’t say, or do. Interest I have none. Take immigration, listening to Lowe and reading the articles he’s written before this row, leaves me to believe he understands we’re in serious trouble, and what Reform say they going to do about it he says won’t fix it. So are Reform UK ‘controlled opposition’ under Nigel Farage? My opinion is politics will not allow us to regain what we have lost. I call it the ‘ratchet’ some call it ‘incrementalism’.

Whichever word you use we were never consulted on uncontrolled mass immigration (because we don’t have an advanced democracy like Switzerland) and we certainly didn’t vote for it. There is zero democracy with regards to who we allow into our country. Lowe knows before this century is out we will have become a minority in our own homeland. By minority he means absolute minority. We’ll be a majority minority first and that is just a few decades away from where we are now.”

10. Seeing as there seem allegorical, prescient things going on

… let me add one more. The whole Unherdables “complex” is anchored to HQ, which is under threat this summer and plan Bs and Cs are being thought through right now. It took a fair bit to set up HQ, it’s doing its job well. So what’s the issue?

Govt pressure on third parties, not least being banking … is one thing, it only takes one insane regulation such as the farmers’ inheritance tax … and an already wobbly edifice collapses. Rachel from Accounts herself is only a cog in a machine, as we know, and that machine wants us crippled, also as we know.

Repeating that phrase … it only takes one insane regulation. There’s also a thing called cascade effect or house of cards. The allegory from me today is how HQ operates. Medically, I cannot sit at a computer these days for long, laptops cause me skinburns, ipads are ok, plus I am starting to feel the cold badly, cold which Gates is providing. I have two ipads which till now have been near flawless in operation … which is why I bought them … money well spent methinks. I can jump into bed and blog, research etc., the various parts of the UHC complex dovetailing nicely, as the aging curmudgeon ages. All good.

The later ipad has started overheating quickly, the charge drops alarmingly fast … the hand burns, even through the plastic cover. The earlier 2021 ipad is going fine … go figure. A single ipad does not allow the tag teaming I need to bring HQ to you and I’m thinking these months coming up are when I need to be on duty so to speak.

I’m suspecting there are things in the more recent Apple products not nearly as good as the earlier versions … a bit like cars today too. There are still months to go before any hard decisions are needed … but am thinking ahead, devising plans B and C. That’s all … nothing dire … as yet. Just looming.

9. Kathy and the malaise of the west

Almost an allegory at TCW … herewith an excerpt …

“TALK ABOUT a depressing end to the week for all who saw 2029 as our last hope to rescue our sick and dying land. The dream of a Farage team swinging into office on a ticket as radical as Trump 2024 has all but evaporated.

I thought that I would be celebrating TCW’s eleventh birthday yesterday, bucked this year by the return of Trump, the death of woke and the end of the catastrophic war in Ukraine at last in sight.

But no, I couldn’t clink the glasses. Not with the country going backwards. Not when we at TCW suddenly find ourselves manning the last defence, when we should be on a forward charge. This is all because of Reform UK’s suicidal public purge of Rupert Lowe MP. 

‘Well, there’s certainly not too much professionalism going on in Reform. What an utterly chaotic public show of mismanagement and incompetence. Looks like a set-up, smells like a set-up – it probably is a set-up,’ one of our regular writers emailed me.

Indeed so. When I read Rupert Lowe’s rebuttal to the allegations on Friday afternoon, I tweeted that it could not have been written more forcefully. When I read the Reform UK ‘statement that came from Zia Yusuf, Reform UK’s Chairman, and Lee Anderson, its Chief Whip, I had just one thought: they have just added their signatures to Britain’s death warrant, the fools.

A classic of its genre, every line ‘read’ of the very things they should be fighting. A woke ‘offence culture’ declaration.

Oh no, I thought, this is ‘Hope not Hate’, ‘Me Too’ and ‘subjective hate crime’ rolled into one!”

 

This would ordinarily be the time for a “feature post”, which might be Baroque music on a Sunday morn, might be London trains. In the pipeline is indeed some Baroque but a history graphic from six years ago appeared and methought hmmmmm … were you to re-read Steve’s long comment in the sidebar, then look at this graphic below, then bear in mind Sun 1 to 8 so far, then “watch” the Baroque later in the morning …

… you might come to some conclusions about the west and where we’re headed. The main question then is to despair … or not to despair? Also note my op ed about my ipads later, followed by a reminiscent ramble from me which I generally do not do. Also Kathy today.

Enjoy …

8. Op Ed … what grabs from all the aforementioned?

a. Poor sods in Syria (sods not meant in a derogatory way) … phew! Poor sods … lives of whole families entirely in the hands of advisers with agendas and/or false or incomplete advice themselves. The reality block in their minds as well, just as with us, is that ancient cultures are being swept away, overrun, not unlike the vandals, barbarians at the end of Rome … and no one can get to grips with the impending reality of complete cultural destruction … people don’t wish to? Minds simply can’t take it in?

b. So much evidence in all theatres of trouble right now, that certain topics are prevented from being aired, for different reasons … anything about Christianity,for example … people immediately skip over, click out … why? The other is the massive pressure, even from Farage, certainly from WEF puppets, to NEVER mention the murderous deathcult. We know why. Westerners are as soft as putty, plasticine, blancmange, concerned about ultimate irrelevances whilst facing a quite existential threat.

(0426) Giving the “big picture” first thing in the morning requires “fair” selection of the stories as an investigative pundit first attends to correspondence, then soc-med macro and micro. The first few items today are an attempt to paint the picture of what’s concerning people this Sunday a.m. (0502)

 

5. Two from Gab

4. Nightwatchman Andy

3. UK news, in no particular order

2. US news, in no particular order

One item? One US item, given the dozens I usually run? It’s not deliberate, it’s what’s there this morning.

1. Syria, in no particular order

From the BBC. Not “no” coverage then.

(1711) Evening all.

 

19. Coming back to Rupert Lowe here

… also to Steve in comments … there are two things going on here … one is what Steve wrote and indeed everyone knows about it … but then there’s a more personal matter … someone being stitched up for exposing it … just look at Tina Peters for example.

There’s a macro agenda going on, a global push by an enemy of the nation(s) and whilst I’m angry about that in a seething sort of way, it just requires fighting … it’s war. The other thing though, the dishonesty of stitching up … that sticks in my craw more.

Ditto with me … I’ve been betrayed by a few women over time but in my mind, that’s all fair in love and war. A fellow man though … that’s not good and that’s what I think has happened here … a real stitch up. Twice when I returned to the UK, having been away, I was stitched up, each time by a woman at a different govt dept … I was thinking whaaa … woss goin’ on here? It was the Landy syndrome (Bourne) in reverse … wrap it up and hang it around someone’s neck.

In both those cases, it was pathetic … but what if it had not been poorly done? What if it had been a very clever man, purporting to be a friend? With an agenda? A bit chilling, that.

18. We don’t want any of it, we weren’t asked

d. Shalli Kumar On How US Strategic Relationships With India And Russia Will Gut The CCP

 

Yes I know we’ve had it twice, with that creep in RL playing a creep of a character, but this has a strong female presence throughout, which is probably fitting for today. I realise not all are crazy for the Mason films either … oh well, there it is. And yes, the killer looks just like someone I was involved with.

15. This was from Toodles long ago

14. I’ll just leave this here, shall I?

13. As most readers, Xers and Gabbers know

… I heavily retweet ladies of MAGA and Reform, Christian ladies too, because I am in tune with how they think on things. To them … happy women’s day. To mothers too:

However, I do not extend that to rabid feminazis, the vacuous, purple haired rainbow SJWs and ecowarriors, crying rape etc. … instead I pray for them. This is a case in point:

So clear the two sub-species in women … the Tracy and Katherine type I’d defend to the death … and the Harman and other Labour types, Demonrats too, RINOs … who hate us men and are destroying society, along with bad men such as Sir Charisma Bypass.

12. The Reform debacle

Lee Anderson has made matters worse by putting out a defence of himself and the others in the Gang of Four by stating utter bollox.

Queen Bob weighed in:

And this lady:

10. Texas insanity

TEXAS Governor Greg Abbott is right to oppose a proposed sharia-controlled MUSLIMS-ONLY community near Dallas – Vicky King

“But will he be able to stop it? A planned exclusive Muslim community, EPIC City, is set to be developed in Josephine, Texas, about 40 miles northeast of Dallas. The project, led by the East Plano Islamic Center (EPIC), aims to create a sharia-infuenced Muslim neighborhood featuring a mosque, Islamic schools, Muslim clinics, stores, nursing home, and over 1,000 homes for Muslims. (Of course, FAIR Housing laws make it illegal to ban non-Muslims from purchasing homes in this complex, but what non-Muslim in their right mind would want to live there?)”
