I’d like to re-emphasise some points about nourishing unherdables. When I signpost drops (from there) over here, it is no longer primary source, it’s through my filter here, innit … human nature, no apple-logs. NOWP is the primary source for each new day and I for one do this in the morning => short prayer for the day, coffee on, correspond in emails, check in at HQ, head for NOWP, check the other outlets, then look at the blogrolls.
Back at HQ, I certainly look at comments first:
To my mind, the summary in the sidebar does its initial job … then clicking the post link in green brings up the post itself, scroll down to comments for the overview. I prefer the raw comment to my interpretation of it … one is primary source, the other (of mine in my post) … just interpretative.
(0549) Morning all … grand sleep, unintentional but welcome, the better to blog with. (0618)

I need to speak of Andy here. Old Labour, which means much patriotism but also sees the light today, but still reads the old media. Andy goes to JMR whereas I go to Annunziata, his sister. JMR is straight establishment … therefore anything he says is through that filter. Andy is very much part of this site, giving that alternative take … a bit like Rolf in his way … still bothers with PMQs in parlmt. Just because I could nae longer be bothered does not mean others shouldna.

Tuesday. Snow here overnight.
a) Why is it that Moose-limbs demand special actions? Can a Moose-limbs defendant appear before a criminal court while observing the Nadamar fast? (JH: Quick reminder about euphemising … good to do but I adopt the IYE framings largely because they seem to work, plus letter rearranging, sometimes other methods. Good reader dropper … we really must you know … just to survive.)
b) Fifteen international bus drivers have been arrested in the province of Barcelona, accused of transporting undocumented migrants between France and Spain. The arrests were announced Monday by the Spanish National Police.
c) More on the “Volcano Group” who claimed responsibility on Sunday for the cable fire that plunged tens of thousands of German homes into darkness: a massive power outage in the midst of a cold snap.
d) Historians will struggle to find another nation so thoroughly deceived by a small clique of people cocooned in taxpayer-funded NGOs or state employment. Germany is entering the eighth year of industrial contraction.

According to Marxist theory socialism is the transitional phase between capitalism and communism:
“A by-the-books bank manager is forced to rob his own bank by a charming thief who holds his family hostage.
Peter Cushing and Andre Morrell repeat the solid on screen chemistry they displayed three years earlier when they teamed up as Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson in Hammer’s version of The Hound of the Baskervilles (1959). This time they are antagonists with Morrell playing the suave robber and Cushing – in a change of pace role – as the ultra priggish banker. Morrell is deliciously nasty but Cushing really deserves some acting kudos for creating a “jerk” of a character that you actually start to sympathize with as Morrell turns the screws.
Quentin Lawrence, a veteran of British TV, skillfully directs a tight script in a confined setting and keeps the tension high and story moving – almost like it’s unfolding in real time. Once the normal routines and relationships are quickly established, he ratchets up the tension with Morrell’s arrival and never lets up. The psychological duel begins and it’s a treat to watch.
My only nitpick about the film is the ending which I thought was a little too neat and tidy for my taste.”

17. Some of you will recall mention of an ARC Conference
… whatever that is. Now, in the interest of knowing whose bias is which way, Wolf is heavily down on Yusuf Farage, to the point he explores more deeply:
My reaction is … uh huh … always interesting to know a bit more, such as with Badlands and that Danny Thomas tweet. Still not altogether sure what that was meant to signify. Three nationalists went to France where the migrant camps are, in order to break them up in “Overlord 2”.
With three unarmed guys, what were they hoping for? Was it to spark a general rising across the UK? Not knocking their loyalty to their country and culture but it was hardly in the 3 million march category of September 13th.
On the other hand, what sparked Venezuela and Iran? There has to be something, does there not? Some catalyst … though in Iran, the empire has certainly struck back at disorganised patriots. It’s a thorny problem … initial rising is one thing but it definitely needs a major person or event.
The reason I could not run that tweet was it did a Lucy Connolly … urged direct action … knock on the door stuff. I’m of course not against the people across the land saying no more but there needs to be a clear path, a series of steps taken by someone strong and experienced. It needs to be organised by someone dangerous but I don’t see anyone like a Trump emerging. Not yet.
16. The Zombies
Another Quora effort by music writer Sam Steiger. Many remember She’s Not There as part of the British Invasion of the US. It was the band’s only really big hit, they did their obligatory tour of the States but failed to follow up with anything much, splitting up a year or two later.
However, as the article says:
“The Zombies, from St Albans in the U.K. scored a huge billboard hit in 1969 with ‘ Time of the Season’. Despite having split-up two years previously due to a failure to follow up on initial success, American label CBS continued to release singles from the band’s album ‘Odessey & Oracle’.
‘Time of the Season’ became a surprise hit when it crept inexorably to #3 in the charts.
Delta Productions, an extremely unscrupulous booking agency, decided to capitalise on the hit single by filling the vacuum for a touring band left by the absence of the originals.
As such, at least two separate bands were sent out on the road as The Zombies. One of them included Frank Beard and Dusty Hill, two thirds of the future ZZ Top and despite having no keyboard player and wearing cowboy hats they got away with the ruse. For a while, in any case.
Colin Blunstone, of the original band, finally got wind of the shenanigans and Delta Productions’ fun came to a stop.
Not before they also attempted a similar scam with a fake The Animals band and, of all things, a knock-off The Archies. Yes, the cartoon group.”
Of course it’s total fiction as a Scot never loses his temper and comes charging at you at Murrayfield with sword and shield in full regalia.
12. Twelfth Night
Here’s one view below (from RTE) of Twelfth Night (tonight), Epiphany being tomorrow. However, the evening of the 6th and morn of the 7th are also Orthodox Christmas. I take down during the 6th as a nod to both eastern and western traditions.

“The execution of a warrant for the arrest of El Presidente was more than just remarkable. US forces neutralised the entire Russia-supplied air defence network, including the Pantsir system (in service 2012), which provides point air defence. Rumours are they also used something entirely new to knock out all the power, rather like an EMP would do.
Oh, and AC-130 Spectre Gunships began arriving at airfields in England this morning. Make of that what you will.”

Oscar Ramirez: Maduro Isn’t the Regime. These Two Men Are
Frank Gaffney: The people of Venezuela, not American troops, are the only way forward
There are two sets of principles I need to reiterate:
a. The big nations are gangsters, the small nations whores. The nations surrounding the big nations will always be subject to the big … at a minimum, they need neutrality and demilitarisation, they must not cross the red lines of the big nation. China-Japan are two cases. Anything else is destabilisation by letter agencies.
b. There are things an admin or webmaster sees inside the engine room and communication centre which even close people outside do not. His job is to minimise threats to the complex from any source, sometimes requiring adherence on some anathema demands, with ways around those aspects then built into the system.
The reason he does it is to ensure the communication outlet stays open. There are some weird things which those with power over the linkages in the broadcasting get into their heads and will not budge on. We here pick up on ones known to us … usually we put them on our watch list (navbar) but sometimes it needs a post sub-item like this. One thing the platforms seem implacable on is a site starting with “rum…”
The whole idea of Unherdables is to provide an outlet for various authors, protected from attack on them.
Separately, HQ, as I’ve warned over and over, has specific vulnerabilities different to the others. While powerful inside its guts, it can still instantly be lost, by pinpointed attack. When there is no percentage in making things into red lines of our own, i.e. unnecessary provocation of the big boys, then as long as these things are still accessible to the reader indirectly, then that’s a “work-around”.
There are decisions having to be made all the time on this or that, there’s no emotion or “ruffled feathers” involved … it’s forever “this works”, “this doesn’t”, “this is an asset”, “this is not”. Only the guy getting the constant messages and threats sees the overview, only he must weigh up best way forward but only in the context of the needs of all personnel involved. One of those needs is no empire building, extract ego from the equation (reference to me by the way).

3. Summed up succinctly
Well put. In a complex chess game involving the US, Russia and China and excluding the Club of Rome zone, inc. the UK, plus natural resources, plus the drug blight targeting children worldwide and the demi adult zombies they become, plus the whole demonic underpinning of all this … in this game, the removal of usurpers Maduro and Zelensky are just a given.
The nuts and bolts of the lift are put by Steve and I’ll get onto those … there’s quite a backlog after yesterday.

a) It makes a change from blaming the “Extreme Right”. A suspected arson attack has caused a widespread power cut in Berlin since Saturday. Authorities said on Sunday that it was a result of a politically motivated attack by “left-wing extremists”.
b) More “Far Left” violence. Far-left activists targeted a critical supply chain node supporting the F-35 stealth fighter jet program, an attack that directly undermines Western national security interests and raises questions about whether foreign adversaries provided material support.
c) More Political ” Left Wing” illegality? Sophia Chikirou, a member of parliament and candidate for mayor of Paris for the La France Insoumise party, will stand trial in May for fraud committed in July 2018 against the news website Le Média.
d) It is avertised as ‘The cup of Africa’, but most football players are French. With the Africa Cup of Nations in full swing, Foot Mercato conducted an in-depth investigation into the birthplaces of the players called up.
1. There’s no mystery in the first TDS article of the day
“The UK’s replacement rate (fertility needed for population stability) is around 2.08 to 2.1 children per woman, but the current Total Fertility Rate (TFR) is approximately 1.44. But there is nothing at all mysterious about why women have stopped having babies in the UK: mortgages and morality account for most of it.
Firstly mortgages. It’s a well understood case that first time buyers in the UK are now aged approximately 33 years compared with 24-25 in the 1970s. It used to be the case in the 1970s-90s that an average house price in the UK was three to four times a single person’s salary, it is now seven to eight times higher, requiring two working incomes in order to buy a house. This shift also coincided with the abandonment of multi-generational living and increased rent.
The second M: morality. The shift in morality around motherhood is altogether a more pernicious reason for declining birth-rates. Since the 1960s motherhood has been depicted as bad thing for mothers particularly, the planet generally and of scant relevance to the child.
Quite how this has escaped Louise Perry’s notice is surprising as the evidence is everywhere.”
It’s no mystery to me whatever, nor to the article writer but it possibly needs a nonWoke man to see the picture from the male point of view, although this lady does very well:
Tied in with it are the huge influx of invaders and their breeding rates, plus wildly greedy, totally unrealistic Dunning-Kruger views of their capabilities, also as women pursue an avaricious, want it all lifestyle instead of pursuing what their bodies are designed to do at a particular age, men’s too.
The feminazi trope “shackled to a man” quite ignores the principle of rules being established during the courtship phase … a most important phase , plus appreciation by both of the high value of both … therefore the need for a compromise position.
This is not bollox as I was in just such an arrangement where we lived within our means whilst still going for trips, buying a fair amount, living by agreement etc. The reason it ended came down to factors inc. progeny, former divorce, my lack of maturity and other things. But it survived so long due to a lack of me-me-me, plus eyes turned to one another, a rarity in later attempts as the western malaise set in.

That was just one of many obstacles today. Had no film, had no jazz, no baroque, no documentary short. Found an IYE Bergerac episode … it stopped working. Found some Baroque … not very good. Then a house issue arose, more time out.
So, just jazz and this final post for the day I’m afraid.
