8. I make no comment
Tue Mat
This might be two strikes against it before we start. Firstly it’s Christie, plus it’s a farce, not a mystery. The third strike might be the acting and fourth of two might be underusing Sarah Berger a bit, although the maid partly made up for that.
The ending does have a twist … it would make a jolly nice Sat or Sun evening radio play of old … there are a few of them available if you like this sort of thing. Tweren’t bad.
The ghost bus
Maybe because he’s new at the “popular vlog” thing but many, including me, are giving unsolicited advice to Chris. Mine was to ditch the intrusive “music”, which he’s largely done … today’s were about the adverts suddenly appearing without warning … he was hit by quite a few over that.
Tuesday [4 to 7]
(0711) Chores are breaking up the posting a bit this morning … must-dos. (0947)

5. Had an email and it raises two issues
First is that yes, I do drop hints, encode etc. and regulars here do it too, with varying success … but eggsellent that they do. It’s not always easy to get the encrypted point across … subject to reader interpretation.
Now, this email was from a ladyfriend thousands of miles away and the hint being dropped here is that another lady in the other direction knows to whom I’m referring, without names or pack drill. I do need to protect both, despite the email sender writing pure guff.
The email was a personal news exchange, nothing political … Easter wishes in fact. She wrote one last line: “Hard to predict anything in these wierd times with Trump wreaking havoc.”
Her interests are her work (running a company), plus rambling, in UK terms … trail walking, climbing, skiing etc. What she pics up, politically, is on the fly, quick MSM input … that’s her reality. Where does one start?
So the second point is that so many western women now tend Wokeleft, they unquestioningly take on board the lies. They’re politically stoopid, they never delve, having their own full agendas to pursue. Now, we’ve criticised the Donald ourselves, esp. over Pammy for example, others he appointed … I’ve been getting stuck into Kristi (see next item) … that’s an entirely different thing to outright dishonesty, such is the demonrat and Labour or Uniparty approach, fully projecting.
It’s sad, as this lady is close to me … must be like one’s daughter in a way, this situation, under the control of silly people, faux heroes. Thing is … she has never done anything against me personally but thinks this way, politically. Now there’s a second lady who’s done many things against me personally and yet we’re on the same page, politically … go figure.
Broadening this to the western voting public as a whole … how many have the vote and yet prop up the destruction by globopsycho by simply buying what they’re told and adopting it as their reality? Sigh!
4. We are certainly in the middle of a bitter war
… an existential war … Tue 3 is about that. Redacted posted:
“I’ve spent approximately 3 hours to be able to access any of your sites […] I had even begun to question and marvel that you could banish me singularly!”
A couple of observations … who’s banished? We have here the difference between seasoned veterans of the site(s) and visiting warriors … regulars know I start around 0500 BST and am not of much use after 2000 BST, until the same next morning. Translated, that means sentient midnight EST thru 1500 EST. Were a commenter to comment between 3 p.m. US east coast time in other words and midnight, US east coast time, I’m away with the sandman.
Now, if an American or Canadian seems to be caught up in the Unherdable machine between his/her 3 p.m. to his/her midnight, I’m not there to sort what the machine has done but patience … I’ll be back at your midnight.
For those downunder, I’m sentient here roughly between your 2 p.m./4 p.m. through to your 11 p.m./1 a.m. … not much use outside those hours, sorry me.
Tuesday [1 to 3]
(0533) Morning all. (0658)
3. Film and song can teach us much
For example, Kenny Rogers sang, “Know when to hold em, know when to fold em.” WC Fields said something along the lines of, “If at first you don’t succeed, try, try and try again … then quit … no point being a damned fool about it.” Dunkirk was gallant, so was Tobruk (it even showed the Aussie command as clever on that occasion) … Paul Revere had a certain something to him.
There are situations when making a last stand, the heroism in it, which can turn the tide, turn the war … is the thing to do … and then there are other situations where it’s folly, such as Custer, such as the Light Brigade, such as Gallipoli. Rorke’s Drift was gallant sacrifice but a stupid thing to get trapped into in the first place … what was the Alamo?
Whom and what is one sacrificing? Human lives? Troop levels so one cannot fight on later? Organs of info? Samizdat? French Resistance dispositions? Sometimes there are keywords which seem not to knock us out of contention, sometimes, as DM ustd, just using the word “rumour” is sufficient to get the message through, people start searching, using the right questions.
Sometimes it’s better to euphemise, to speak in code, though it be so brave and gallant to come out and say it plainly. Even Jesus spoke in parables, had to endure snakes and worms with their wormtonguing, their entrapment. Sometimes, to protect the nest, it’s better not to … sometimes it’s better to switch and all out attack. Even this morning we’ve seen key words do for a patron … tactics had to change for now.

Easter Mon Mat
A Fritz Lang film:
A decent Fritz Lang film:
For Gary Cooper, it’s “Cloak and Dagger” in this 1946 film directed by Fritz Lang and also starring Lilli Palmer (in her American film debut) and Robert Alda.
Toward the end of WW II, it comes to U. S. attention that the Germans are developing a nuclear bomb. The OSS recruits a midwestern university scientist, Alvah Jesper (Cooper) to go to Switzerland.
There, he is to speak speak to a German scientist Dr. Loder (Helen Thimig) who has escaped to Switzerland, where she is now hospitalized. But Alvah’s cover is blown, and he is being watched. In Italy searching for the scientist working with Dr. Lodor, Polda (Vladimir Sokoloff), Alvah is protected by guerrillas who include Gina (Palmer) and an American, Pinkie (Alda).
A bit slow at first, “Cloak and Dagger” picks up steam as it goes along. The most stunning scene occurs when, as an Italian sings a folk song outside, Alvah and an Italian Gestapo agent, Luigi, (Marc Lawrence) fight inside a building.
And by the way, Michael Burke, the OSS member who was the film’s adviser, and an agent named Andreas Diamond, showed Lang the hand-to-hand combat used in this film.
Apparently, Gary Cooper had problems with the scientific dialogue (as he had problems with not understanding his speech at the end of The Fountainhead), and Warner Bros. Records state this fight scene was the only one he did well. A very suspenseful, exciting, and raw scene, the best in the film. The thrilling ending is top-notch as well.
The love that develops between Gina and Alvah is poignant, and beautiful Lilli Palmer gives a fantastic performance. I agree with others, Alvah seems pretty sharp and experienced for an untrained agent. Cooper is very good in a heroic role – strong but gentle and as usual, terribly handsome.
The ending of this film was changed from an antiwar one and anti-nuclear weapons, since by the time the film was released, since the bomb had just been dropped on Hiroshima.
Well worth seeing, if not ultimate Lang.
Monday [10 to 13]

9. It’s all to do with political will and protecting your people
“Britain has weeks to escape new powers allowing the World Health Organisation to recommend imposing lockdowns in future pandemics, a group of MPs and peers has warned.”

The best way is for almost all in that land to be well educated, inc. in the western underpinning … what Steve calls cultural Christianity … the civility, dignity, way of doing things. The next step is an individual choice … John 3:16. I see no issue with that.
So, looking at a year level of military rookies, they’re faced, as I was, with choices. In my case, it was either military, in which dad and mates had been, trade because my father had died and the stepdad was in a trade, plus was offering me factory space gratis for the first years, to do my screenprinting. My dad had been trade too … a master.
My mum provided a third path … both had slaved to put me through one of the public schools, which was almost a guarantee for good university entry … teaching beckoned, as I’d been awarded a scholarship. Plus there was a young lady in the mix and a future there.
I chose the screenprinting and ran with that for awhile, taking three month courses and related things. But I was also able to gauge my aptitude, plus major corporations had that game tied up … a newbie was not going to be able to undercut the big firms … so it seemed the best future was in education … so I was quite a mix.
Now the military thing … a natural sceptic/radical/rebel (through my mother?) … weeeellll, I had to sort out in my head where I was on that … before committing, because my training had taught that the time to ask questions is before committing fulltime. Once you were in, you were in, matey. Utter imbecility not to insta-obey when on an exercise or for real, as you’re endangering your mates.
Now I knew that and the question was … did my temperament allow me to be what was needed? And that’s the dilemma facing lads like this:
In other words, we’re now in the hands of globo-commie above I’m afraid and they are not patriotic to their land. When govt starts effing around with troops, esp. loyalty, then pay and conditions, when good men are fired over the deathjab … that’s a morale sapper … and these *&£#£&*s above are not good people.
Serving forces personnel are just below a gallant leader in society imho … they should have the best of everything, inc. cradle to grave funding. The leader’s job is to deploy in such a way that he keeps his troops alive afap.
