War Room snippets…
According to Marxist theory socialism is the transitional phase between capitalism and communism:
Two faced:
“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.”

18. And once again
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.
(0516) Still dark. Yes, yesterday was difficult, as issues also came up domestically, catching up now, some concerns still, hopefully to be resolved. Snow outside right now. (0613)

“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.”

Turn the music off – it’s a visual – but watch to the end. Trump junior’s latest squeeze’s background.
7. Over at Roobeedoo
6. Steve and war room at 1253
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.
(1553) Approaching rainy, haily, snowy evening, dear reader. Lost six hours (or much blogging) today, still jobs to be done here at the humble abode.
13. Old and Peculier writes
12. Deep, heartfelt apologies to IYE, Steve
… AKH is also behind today and I need to get over to Leggy who’s just reappeared. It’s just one of those days. There’s a lady too you see and we’ve just been discussing motorbikes. Saw war room, saw the China-M thing in comments … will have to be tomorrow morning, chaps, sorry.

… all basically saying the same thing:
8. Lost six hours today
… plus things went technically awry … pity but no point fashin’ m’sel aboot it. Tried to get Steve not to put “rum” links at HQ but he obviously missed that post. There’s one at 1252, should you care to go over there.
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.
(1049) comment on the sky now and last night is in Sun 6. Good reader, I crashed and awoke around 1050, i.e. four hours behind. Thus everything today is four hours behind, which might mean no baroque, no film, and at this point … only one jazz number … the others vanished from YT two days ago. Not even going to wonder why. (1509)
7. Recent comments under Wolf Moon Night [16 till end]
… also under Sun 11 to 15, are links to badlands, justicedotgov, an Engdahl youtube, plus someone called danny thommo who virtually replies to dearieme’s contention. See for yourself.
Now, putting my admin hat on … there are just a few things we can’t run in an HQ post. One is any “rum” link which had us lose the site and posts temporarily a long time back. Thus we do NOT experiment with that at HQ … every evening I do not run the links in a certain summary, but they are still there in the 1251 post and similar. There is zero (military) percentage in doing that, strategically, provided we still give an access route.
Also, there are times we can put YTs and times we can’t … I’ve done it myself by running a YT at NOWP, where it expanded when it would not at HQ … sometimes only UHC-WP works, sometimes Jstack. For those who want everything on a platter, all this must seem “unnecessarily convoluted”. My reply is “necessarily” … I’m the one here with the overview, the one who gets the threats I speak not of. Not complaining but please … get wise on what’s happening in 2025/6.
6. The sky last night … the sky today
a. Last night’s moon:
It did some very weird things last night, vis-a-vis my house windows. Trying to explain this to you needs a model in words. Try the model of a clock face, but in three dimensions.
Imagine you have a clockface, the type a nursery teacher used to teach chn time with, with hands pinned on. Now go to a coffee table (horizontal), and set it down at 60 degrees, 6 touching a coffee table and any 3D directions meaning perpendicular to the coffee table, not the angled clockface.
Set the table in your hall, so that you, on knees are at 6, looking over towards the street (behind you being just house, walls). A short distance away are your three windows … on the left, but waist high, say at 8, is a large window, in one room … in the next room is a narrow window (taller than wide) … ditto in the kitchen, over at 4.
Imagine the windows superimposed on the clockface, size adjusted. Again … one is at 8, next is on an arc from there, just down from the centre of the clock, also on an axis 9 to 3 … the last kitchen window is at 4. All windows are sufficiently tall as to enable a good view of the night sky “ceiling”. Were you to move head up to window, looking up, you can almost see straight up.
All right … I often watch the moon, esp. with the dark nights, do not howl at it, promise, and it never rises at 8 … I often do see it “having risen” (don’t get ideas) about top half of the kitchen window. It then heads up and to the right, until it goes out of frame, up in the night sky.
All right … I saw that moon last evening, about 1750, come out above a rooftop and from behind a chimney, at 8, in the distance from the window, heading the usual up and right. What’s the moon doing over there? Went to the middle window … no sign but the glow was clear over to my left and high up, the moon itself out of frame.
I waited some hours for it to go sufficiently to the right to be seen in the second window and finally framed in the kitchen window. Never happened.
Instead, it must have gone like half a parabola, medium speed right, not far upwards, then more suddenly upwards but never over to the other two windows. Weird.
So I went to that middle window on the arc, where it meets the 9-3 axis, put my eye close and gazed upwards … not to 12 on the clock but in 3D, perpendicular to the coffee table. Thar was the lil varmint, high in the sky, to the left, doubling back over our own rooftop, no longer in the night sky before me.
Weird. Also, did not see any of those other mentioned phenomena … light display etc.
b. The overnight snow:
c. There was one other phenomenon yesterday:
I’d posted here that there was no Gates sky, it was regular, with clouds. Had to go downstairs. Looking ESE, over farming land, were planes doing that zigzagging, crisscrossing high in the sky and trails were certainly coming out of them … but not long like chemtrails we know and despise. These did look like regular trails, just a few plane lengths long.
That was as it may have been but by the same token … why? Cropdusting that high? And they were crisscrossing with purposeful trajectories. Hours later, Gates cloud filled the day sky.
