(1043) A bit gloomy out there, the sky. (1131)

 

11. Bill makes a good point if I understand correctly

… when he asks, “Where’s the evidence?” Anything whatever involving reading, watching or listening relies on the bona fides of the bringer of the item and even yesterday, at NOWP, that sort of question cropped up.

We do assemble sources we learn to trust … and those on certain topics only, understanding their prejudices and hobbyhorses. It’s painstaking getting iffy sources listed and why … the bane of the pundit.

In our circle, which garnered 4m votes for Reform and which put the Donald in, we’d say NYT, WaPo, CNN, MSNBC, Guardian, Independent are pretty rubbish, the Wail iffy but sometimes ok, the Express good on one or two things. Obviously, anyone quoting Snopes or Politico is laughed out of the room.

A fave trick of the combined globopsychos/msm/Wokerati is that they first go to extraordinary lengths to suppress, censor, mock, attack and too many of us latch onto the mood of a statement without sufficiently checking its build up, raison d’etre … the lengths gone to to suppress … the trap in other words … e.g. on the deathjab. There’s plenty on toxic effects, even in the last few days but they rely on single word “refutations”, e.g. “Source?” A fave of globopsycho and the Wokerati, that.

We do have material on it, saved but how can anyone expect the average normie to have ferreted and archived? If for some reason a sourced reply is given, the next step in their playbook is: “Well that’s been debunked, hasn’t it.”

Er no. Your source? They drop in their approved graphs and battery of doctors … which is only that … their approved graphs and battery of doctors and so there’s a standoff, isn’t there, in the normies’ eyes … the globopsycho troll or Wokeratist will take that result.

With the State on their side, law enforcement, if we publish, they send Plod. If they publish, our reply is censored … that’s how they like the game to be.

10. Remember some days back

… I told the tale of my M25 breakdown? A reminder:

9. They’re psychos, Jen … zero conscience, zero ethics

8. Going to take the first item up again later

7. Boilers are good

I’ll never willingly and knowingly changeover.

6. Orban, part of his statement

(0900)(0900)

 

Best not to skip over this (h/t Steve):

How I see this panning out:

While the psychopaths Biden, Blinken, Nuland, Starmer etc. are perfectly happy to send nukes into Russia, Putin sends non-nukes in return, e.g. to Kiev … the issue is when it ramps up. To my mind, Putin wants to take out nuclear threats in the various countries, not just in the Ukraine and to do that, no-warhead missiles do not suffice.

That’s when the end begins. I’d expect Biden to be taken out, plus the others, by then … Starmer is the issue here. Labour must go … the question is … which mechanism can be used? A Cromwellian repeat?

4. Orban statement

“The Western world has not only failed in its idea and strategy of reorganizing the world, but is also suffocating in its own environment within the Western world. The issues that liberal, progressive, dominant thinking could not answer have been put on the agenda. This is migration, this is gender ideology, ethical contradictions regarding traditional values, or even the ongoing war. Thus, the West is becoming increasingly incapable of governing itself.”

Vox comments:

“At this point, it’s entirely obvious that the Enlightenment was a satanic turn that led Christendom upon a false path that has not only destroyed Western civilization, but the organizations and nations who created it in the first place.”

Kassandra, the Dutch blogger/tweeter in Greece, said long ago that the Enlightenment was warped at the start, hijacked, one manifestation of that being the Royal Society … examine the ideology of the main players … not only antithetical to the Christian underpinning but dedicated to undermining, any good it was doing to “the West”. Once the “falling away”gathered pace, post WW2, that was the end of the West … we just didn’t know it yet.

b) Here is a map of France’s mosques: from eight mosques in 1975, France has grown to 2,600 places of worship in 2024, including overseas.

c) The EU’s annual ‘Rule of Law Report’ has become the go-to document for whenever a member state’s alleged or real shortcomings, and the possible repercussions, are discussed in Brussels since the Commission began publishing it in 2020.

(1607) That was a good episode of The Persuaders, about to look at Grifty. Quite a bit to take in today.

26. Steve and war room

Different format at HQ to at 886:

Jack Posobiec: Biden And Administrative State Are Attempting To Create Colossal Crisis For Trump To Bear | MTG Demands Investigation Into The Unwarranted Escalation Of Foreign Conflicts By Biden White House | Bombshell: Ashli Babbitt’s Murderer Was Promoted Following The Unjust Shooting, John Solomon Reports | Karli Bonne Calls Out Fox News For Subverting Trump’s Nomination And Attempting To Install Haley

25. Isilme

Now, with all this threat of world war three and nuclear bombs and such, I’m surprised we haven’t followed Sweden’s lead and issued information of what to do on such an occasion. However, help is at hand. I still have the leaflet issued in the 1970s, showing how to protect yourself from a nuclear blast. I have the whole leaflet, but feel one part at least ought to be put up on the blog (even if it’s been seen before) because people might need time to gather all the necessary bits and pieces. I mean, people might have trouble locating their asbestos sheets and I wouldn’t want them to be caught unawares…. Our main problem is finding a spare bit of wall, but probably if we buried ourselves in the middle of my craft room, we’d do okay!

24. Kassandra as well on the psycho

23. Let’s not get our hopes up too high

22. More on the psycho

21. IYE at 886

… with Greenwald.

20. DAD’s gone bananas at 886

A banana taped to a wall, the work of Italian conceptual artist Maurizio Cattelan (whose other work is an effigy of John Paul II on the ground struck by a meteorite), was bought for $6.2 million by a Chinese-American entrepreneur in New York, at the auction house of Sotheby’s. The price went from $800,000 to $5.2 million, or $6.2 million with fees.

Also this by Mel … not advertising it, think we need to read it and decide how to react.

Last episode at HQ for awhile but of course, there are plenty more if you care to run down the list at the end of the link:

HERE

Some notes from lil ole me:

As you know, we run mainly Brit and US news and features here, with some France, Europe in general, then further afield. I always felt the casting and the attitude of Lew Grade a bit puzzling at times.

In short, though Tony Curtis was a major actor … well, for a start, he was no Clint Eastwood or John Wayne beside Roger Moore, plus the scriptwriters often had him playing second fiddle … did they think the series would cut it in America?

It was a bit iffy at best, plus the overt sexism, even for that year, for example in this episode where Moore’s approach to romance was to put his hand on her knee … well, let’s just say it’s not my idea of courtship.

Grade? His heart was clearly not in it, though the locales were costing him a mint.

Plots? A bit hammy but not too bad … Greensleeves was one of the better regarded.

Overall? Good, esp. for a rainy/snowy day, plus the femme fatale in each case was a major plus … generally.

(1259) Afternoon all, nice day out there. (1347)

Elias

 

Firstly, to the gals … a thousand apologies … I’d love to run four muscular dudes for you, just to be fair, but I’m not gonna … yuk, I’m a boy, all right?

Now, to our boys … talk about embarrassment of blondes … eight of them, from whom I must choose four, the other four being the Monday coming.

Recognise any?

(1058) Here’s the cunning plan, chaps and chapesses … a polit-burst now (huge backlog in pipeline) … Ladies at Lunchtime around noon and a hot crop today … then another polit-burst inc. Isilme (yep, politics), plus an IYE double … then a last (for now) Persuaders with my take on the series … then politics till close of play at around 1700 … at least, that’s the plan.

Quiz? Nothing ready, might have to be tomorrow. (1122)

 

11. US politics again

Note well:

10. More Brit politics, then back to US

9. Kathy Gyngell

https://www.conservativewoman.co.uk/david-keighley-was-right-everything-he-warned-about-hate-crime-has-come-to-pass/

“From race audits (into 130 aspects of life no less) to transgenderism, which she and her Equalities Ministers promoted, to hate crime, May pushed a poisonous rhetoric driven by the ideology of identity politics.

Today, and once more with the full backing of the BBC, he noted, the Labour Government is intensifying its attack on dissenters from its Islamist/communist and DEI missions. In fact not a week passes without the BBC fuelling this dystopian culture or encouraging so called ‘victims’ to press their complaints in what can only be described as a targeted tyranny.

As David said to me in his email, almost everything he warned about ‘has now come to pass in spades’.”
