4. Article on Gab about 34 Brits leaving for Russia

They’re either going to be fleeced if they stay in Moscow or outskirts, they’re monitored, the bureaucracy is worse, the locals are going to view Brits as we view “the visitors”. Not the hosts … the hosts are super friendly. Just something to think about after Boris:

Anyway, here’s one of those unrestrained Gab takes:

This is ‘news’ (the 34) because these Brits are going to Russia. However it’s a drop in the ocean as hundreds of thousands of (Brit) Britons leave the UK each year and move to Spain, France, Italy and the Far East.

The real scandal behind immigration statistics is when we are told net migration stands at over 700K … that’s because around 1.5 million migrants come to Britain (around 90 per cent of which are non-European) and the 800K leaving are not migrants returning home, but White Britons fleeing.

This means that not only is the population of the UK growing rapidly each year, but replacement is accelerating, as elderly whites aren’t just dying off, but those who can afford to are actively choosing to abandon their country.

You may well ask, as Andy should, I should … whence those stats above … source was a former EDL. Now, back to Boris (looking wonderfully Adonis like in his casual clobber) … in the Alex Ch piece today, he quotes Johnson on the Ukraine: “Get it done, get it won.”

Yes, charmingly glib, Mr. Bollinger Club … and another hundred thousand Ukies and some Brits, go to their inevitable slaughter. Because those bstds in control of us know very well that no one is going to take over Russia, even with those trillions of Euros … this is the Napoleonic, Crimean War and Gitler insanity all over again.

And when does Boris propose this is done? In the Russian winter … the bstd knows exactly what he’s suggesting.

Sauce for the Boris bit HERE.

3. Andy at 818:1

JH: The filter through which I viewed it was firstly … it’s Reddit, soft left, as with travel and tech journals, Quora etc. … check the date (11 years ago) … plus no source of stats.

Why do I still get Quora? Because I haven’t “ungot it” yet, and occasionally the soft topics get the mind off the horrors we do know of … otherwise we hurry ourselves to an early grave. Those journals are deliberately soft, avoiding harsh reality, in a jaunty tone. But as our lot are not particularly fun these days … wwweeelllll, what can I say? Who am I to criticise? Plus Andy is highly valued at this site.

2. DAD drop in the early morn at 818:2

a) Isl*m*c m*grants have made videos explaining how they are bilking the French government, manipulating welfare systems designed to help the needy, and using taxpayer money to fund their stay.

JH: They’re my euphemistic asterisks in there. As the one who’ll get the door kicked down by six special policemen and the token two policewomen of diminutive size, the one who’ll get shut down online … think we need to be using more veiled terms here on in.

b) London-based NatWest Bank launched the “carbon footprint tracker” to supposedly tackle the alleged “climate crisis.” The British multinational bank’s system monitors customers’ spending and scolds customers when they buy meat and dairy products.

JH: That’s in line with that “middlng society”, accepting or resigned to such bullying, with a shrug, smile and, “What are we supposed to be doing now?” … never once thinking it through and deciding not to comply. How not to comply here? Move funds slowly elsewhere. Where? Whole other topic.

c) The Church of England has raised eyebrows by advertising a “Head of Racial Justice Priority” position in the Diocese of London, boasting a salary of £66,646 – more than double the £31,644 stipend for parish priests….

JH again: Yes, there’s that DEI thrust in the criticism but is there not also a £31K crit, given what zero hours people, shopworkers etc. are earning? And given the “anything at all CofE bad, anything Catholic or atheist we shall see”? I go no further but look at my own CofE criticisms of late … easy enough to do with the newly Woke non-church.

1. Going back to “new habits”

Before explaining the main theme of this post item, a word first about critically appraising anyone you read or listen to, preferably before you read or listen to them … not forgetting our “be aware” page here.

This below is from one Cynthia, it’s on Quora … I notice Andy has something from Reddit … both are of the “soft left”, insinuating type … never overtly political but never touching on cutting edge issues all the same, keeping it all nicely nice … concerning celebs, many interesting things such as who was the nicest sportsperson you met … keeping it all away from that nasty far-rightness.

This lady was “former management, employment and training, grants management” … so female “manager” and all it implies, as internally as hard as nails, as hard as hard, experienced “professional” men, quite sure of her abilities thank you very much.

So, in the context of that … this:

I’m 87 and surprised myself recently. After several days of staying in, watching tv, and going to bed earlier than usual, I decided to do some errands. Walking out my door and up the path toward the parking lot, I realized that I wasn’t slow, I was walking at a fast pace, the way I used to walk.

Got to the big box store and forgot to get a cart to lean on. Made it through an hour of traversing through the store without tiring. Then went for a few groceries and home. Felt more energetic than I had for a long time!

My burst of energy lasted several days, then I slowed down again.

Disappointed, I decided to analyze what I had done in the days before my spurt of energy. First I recalled that I had decided not to stay up until 3 or 4 am watching tv. Was in bed by 11 pm. Then I had decided to improve my diet by eating more vegetables in a full meal at dinner time instead of just breakfast and a snack for dinner.

And I wasn’t getting much exercise in the house so I went for a quarter mile walk twice that week just for exercise. I also remembered that my breathing pattern had changed. A breath seemed to go deeper into my lungs. I’m assuming that with just 4 hours of sleep a night, I was not getting enough rest. And breakfast with a snack for dinner did not provide enough nutrition for any activities.

And lastly, lack of exercise was a contributing factor to my shortness of breath. I really would like to feel that good again. So I’m just now starting to repeat what appears to have been the process that led to my energy boost. Crossing my fingers!

Hence going back to “new habits” she’d learnt late, possibly in fear of diabetes, whatever. I too have noticed a slight falling back in habits and have restarted “new habits” and am trying to resist the lure of the buttery shortbread full of sugar.

And so it goes … a mini-journey begfore even starting the day of chores, which includes handwashing of clithes and going into town this morning.

21. Though this is about Australia

… it certainly applies to the other western nations, esp. the UK and the similarly mindless acceptance of the situation by normies in both places means it’s not going to change any time soon.

Just a warning and I left a comment at the youtube but the North American narrator insists on loud background noise (he’d call it music) drowning him out. Pity, as his arguments seem to me fairly to the point and it’s worth struggling through to the end.

There’s one aspect and it’s in the Australian character … or was, I might be out of date now … and that’s the percentage vote at Federal Elections. Labor has traditionally been around 40/41%, Libs (Conservatives) maybe 30 to 35%, the Country Party (farmers), sometimes called National Party, perhaps 10%, no more, plus a fourth party has existed. Plus all the socialists, greens and so on.

So many see no issue with Labor … party of workers they think, whereas it’s really union bosses … similar to here. The last time I was even there was in the 90s, so I may well be out of date. Whilst the big cities seem the problem there, as here, one would think the country towns might have escaped rampant inflation.

I saw an ad, with photo, of a shack, no more, tin roof, rectangular, three steps from door to ground, two horse town … $AUD 90,000. Totally shocked. In short … unliveable any more, as the narrator says. In the craze to be a WEF world player and proud of it … Australian cultural cringe … to my mind the worst aspect is the wholesale invasion abetted, run, by govt.

Following your forwarding of TCWDF’s bit on the slaughter of the elderly, get a load of this:

HERE

Part of that was:

Most people don’t know that the organ donation system was changed back in May 2020: it used to be an opt-in system but now it’s opt-out. This means we are all considered to be organ donors unless we specifically write to the NHS Organ Donor Register to say we don’t want to be donors.

An interesting thing for me is I did not realise the post at Jstack had gone out to various people automatically … I thought I’d posted without subscription button. Which makes me think … hmmmm, maybe I’d best tailor posts there to more middle of the road blogging. OoL, in turn, has a different yet overlapping readership.

16. The TPA (no url available)

So, the bad news. Shock figures from the Office for National Statistics (ONS) revealed that the national debt has now hit a staggering 100 per cent of GDP. For context, this is the first time it’s hit this level since the 1960s. Borrowing for the current financial year is now £64.1 billion, £6 billion more than forecast. Clearly the new government’s spending spree is hammering the public finances.

John O’Connell, our chief executive, issued a sober warning to our spending addicted politicians when he told Sky News: “With the debt now matching the size of the economy, this needs to be a watershed moment for all politicians, but particularly the chancellor, to recognise that the situation is unsustainable. Getting a grip of the national debt should now be a top priority for the government, with future generations set to be hit hard if it follows the big spending philosophy of its predecessors.”

14. Starmer and the killing off of the elderly

See Ann Farmer’s article at TCW, plus John Marlow’s comment below it … the text is below this post now, here.

13. The Church

Consider these:

There are more than sufficient references in scripture about what is and is not acceptable and I’m not addressing that in this post item, nor in comments. However, the bigger question of the split church very much does need addressing.

By this, I do not mean Church with a whole hierarchy of Archbish, Synod, chapters, cults, huge money, gold and glitter … any of that … I mean the worldwide invisible collection of those who believe in the Trinitarian thing … I mean even Romans and CofE agree on many of those … just not the order most like.

Is Vigano a Christian, a good man? I say yes. Were the Wesleys? Again I say yes. Calvin? Ah … jury’s out … loved burning people, was right into calling people depraved … for a start, ‘not yet found’ is more accurate. Are the devout in each denomination at the lay level good Christians? I say yes.

So why are we split? As in politics, it’s the High Ups, the Holy Rollers who are the issue … Bergoglio, Welby, the megachurch Merc and Roller drivers. The walrus-like Paisleys, Not to mention Adams.

And as in politics, should the laity drive out the clearly unscriptural from the now usurped and hijacked buildings? Or do they suffer in silence, no longer welcome within those glitzy palaces?

12. First of two topics

… this on Nigel Farage and Tommy Robinson. To me, it’s fraught … with both characters an upside and a down.

Nigel Farage, to me, is more down than up at this moment, in deep with Tice who disgraced himself during lockdown and in the Ukraine and who’s a real politician type, plus NF did seem to sell out TBP in exchange for a gong, plus he’s shutting out TR who has quite a substantial following.

On the upside, NF is expected to form a govt, something UKIP were never going to … and to do that involves at least being an MP and understanding how politics works. Plus he does have massive following up and down the country.

The downside of TR is this accusation of being in the Zionist pocket … he’s certainly a one issue person and it was interesting he and Mark Collett falling out. MC is anti Pakistani swamping of us and he sees all the grooming and murdering as a national thing, whereas TR says the issue is the ruling cult itself, across many nations.

Resolution? In practical terms, TR will never form a govt, NF might possibly do so, drawing Tories over to him and this is Britain, not the middle-east … there is still a disparate nation to win over … Scots, Welsh, NI. The hardline policies I agree with in principle, more along Giorgia Meloni’s and Salvini’s line … wwweeelllll, we’re not going to form a govt that way … the centre must be willing to give you a shot.

As for parties themselves … well you nly need put policy planks on your manifesto and there are the points of disagreement right there … it needs, if you are to have a party at all … to be a broad church … but not broad enough to encompass Wokist communism. No way.

Because of the polarised nature of this right now … that helps rather than hinders the forming of a party which just might win. I’m obviously torn, seeing both aspects of this thing.

The last point I am concerned about is … should NF be successful, if momentum does roll his way … a) are there sufficient numbers, placed better within condtituencies and b) will NF sell out again, the patrician in him winning over the man of the people?

… not advocating, nor un-advocating, just posting:

These are some of the fruits that are not good for your liver’s health:

• Grapefruit -Grapefruit contains compounds that can make liver unable to metabolise certain chemicals.These can cause problems in the blood flow which can cause more problems later on.
• Papaya- Papaya is one of the fruit that is not good for liver,as it contains high quantity of natural sugar which can make the liver to difficult to digest.The natural sugar can cause lot of problems in the body as it takes a lot of time to digest natural sugar.
• Watermelon- Watermelons are one of the fruits that are rich in fructose,which makes the liver to process the watermolen to the other organs and later it cause problems to the other body ‘s organs.
• Berries -Berries are rich in fructose and antioxidants which make it difficult for liver to digest it .
• Pineapples-Pineapples are rich in bromelain,one of the enzymes which is responsible for blood thinning and blood clotting in some people.These can be harmful for people who are suffering from diseases.
• Mango-Mango is a fruit which has high glycemic ,which means that they can rise the blood sugar levels in the body which means it difficult for liver to digest.
• Coconut-Coconut is rich in saturated fats which makes the liver unable to digest and process the food to other organs.
• Dates – Dates are rich in sugar which means that it makes the liver to digest or process the food to other organs,It can rise the blood sugar levels in the body which cause problems and damage to the liver

9. In response to the Tim Worstall thing

… about Rowley, dropped by DAD at 816, Dearieme had an intelligent comment below it:

It used to be that I mocked people who fussed about physical appearance, their own or other people’s.I’ve moderated on this view. Maybe David Cameron was the first Conservative party leader for whom I felt strongly “I don’t like the cut of his jib”. Ditto the current Conservative leadership contender Jenrick. For Labour, Toni Blair. In the US the Scotus judge Kavanaugh.This is all separate from other reasons to dislike or distrust public figures e.g. because they are lawyers or gangsters or whatever.

8. DAD drop at 816:6 (also biblical looking)

a) The UK government has been forced to release documents showing that thousands of British citizens have been left disabled by Covid mRNA shots.

b) Justice Minister Helen McEntee confirmed on Saturday that Dublin will drop new hate speech provisions in the proposed Criminal Justice Bill, admitting that the “incitement to hatred” section of the legislation did “not have a consensus,” the Irish Times reports.

c) More than two weeks after his appointment as Prime Minister, on September 5, Michel Barnier has finally managed to establish a government, validated by Emmanuel Macron. The final list is composed of 39 ministers and secretaries of state, including 19 in full office.

d) Tim Worstall asks, “Is a bit strange that the country’s top policeman doesn’t have the shoulders to carry his epaulettes. Isn’t there anyone who can direct him to a decent tailor to make him a 3/4 size set or something?”

7. Some more

6. Shane Schaetzel at Real Clear Catholic

Is any act of disobedience to a command of the pope by itself schismatic?

No. One is not schismatic if he resists a pope or refuses to obey a particular teaching or command of his that is manifestly contrary to natural or divine law, or that would harm or undermine the integrity of the Catholic Faith or the sacredness of the liturgy. In such cases, disobedience and resistance to the pope is permissible and sometimes obligatory.

In 357, St. Athanasius refused to obey Pope Liberius, who commanded him to recognize the Arian bishops of the Orient. Thereupon Pope Liberius excommunicated St. Athanasius.

5. Snippets

Josh Waller:

One of the things that concerns me in our circles is the heavy emphasis on platform building. Didn’t we see how that worked out for the previous generation of online speakers and pastors? It seems we are gaining ground, but we have to be very careful what we wish for. Monetizing Christianity is unwise at best.

ZeroHedge:

… on Sweden’s 31,000 euro bribe to leave: “They’re going to refuse to leave because no matter how much they say they hate Europeans, hate our culture or say we’re evil racists, they want to live in societies we create, not ones they create. They will just turn our societies into the same as theirs by refusing to leave though.”

4. Zero reason for the EU to exist

… VOA News via BigDKnight on Gab:

Von der Leyen said Friday the European Union plans to lend Ukraine $39 billion to help rebuild the nation’s economy and energy grid, both heavily damaged by Russia’s invasion.

(She) made the announcement during a joint news briefing in Kyiv with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. The $39 billion loan is part of a $50 billion loan package using frozen Russian assets, which was agreed upon by the Group of Seven leading industrialized nations during a meeting in June.

The EU has frozen about $235 billion in Russian assets. The European Commission — the EU’s executive branch — has signed off on the $39 billion loan, but it still must be agreed to by a majority of EU member states.

Zelenskyy said Ukraine’s most immediate use for the EU funds will be to shore up its heavily damaged energy grid ahead of the winter.

Von der Leyen’s visit Friday follows an announcement she made Thursday in Brussels of a European Union plan to provide Ukraine with about $180 million in energy funding — about $111 million of it coming from the frozen Russian assets.

The funding was prompted by a new report showing nearly two-thirds of the nation’s energy grid had been destroyed by Russian attacks.

12. Well Kathy’s excited about the conference

… as well she might be:

WELL here I am at the Reform UK party conference, the day after the night before, at the NEC in Birmingham. There’s enough to say about this spectacular conference – the like of which nobody’s going to be seeing at either of the Uni-party efforts – without going back to the beginning of the week.

However before I get going on Reform’s new fun politics (when last did you think politics could be enjoyable?) I must blow the trumpet for TCW and our journalism. We are what the Spectator ought to be, a reader told me last year. Actually we are far more than that, as our lockdown and covid vaccination coverage proved.

Sally Beck’s scoop last week on the UK’s Counter Disinformation Unit advising on US big tech censorship, if the MSM were doing their job, should have been their front page news.

My attitude, whilst being wary of hoping for too much, was still caught up in yesterday’s fervour … there were thousands in Brummitown … how many more thousands up and down the land? Answer … 4.1m all up I think it was.

The lovely thing for me was how it gave such joy to so many so you’ll get no diminishing in the smile if you say get real, Jimbo.

Also … Nigel F said a couple of policy things I do not run with, nor do most of us … he’s my least fave right now … not sure I trust him … nor Tice. The others there were wonderful though … nice to see.
