Tuesday [6 to 10]

(0853) … anyway, as I was saying at NOWP a few hours ago, to DAD, was about to crash, just as he was posting. More on this in Tue 7. Morning all … sun’s out, abode is hot, hope you’re ok. (1115)

 

10. She has a soft spot for him

… look at that body language.


9. Red Millipede’s delight

8. Found a map

… which somehow helps me rather than you I’d say but it at least lets me communicate with Toodles … she’s within the golden swathe you see before you:


Incidentally, I’m shockingly remiss with birthdays, far worse than I ever was before and though the online card company does assist … I still think I need to get some sort of birthday book going, one with a generic calendar … coz even chaps are miffed when bdays are forgotten.

On the other hand, you might be not unlike me in never telling precisely when “one’s” is … well over half our tavern patrons here and occasionals never say, never wish to. Mine is next Feb by the way.

7. The tyranny of age

Not sure how many chaps and chapesses live-blog their gradual demise but I’m going to try. We’re assuming here that he/she has not gone completely gaga yet and is not yet trying to cook underpants porridge whilst putting on oats underpants for the day … at least they’re clean today.

Nope, not at that stage yet but by the same token, I’d not want to go out for more than half an hour because nature, though wunnerful out there, a picture in fact, should not call during a short jaunt into that wilderness we blog about.

The change which comes over one (love that usage of the word “one”) is that one shifts from “tiring quickly these days” to “zonk instantly” … within thirty seconds, just enough time to switch off anything dangerous and have a sip of HCQ mineral water and lemon.

Mind you, what wrecks this slow descent to The Great Lampshade Time is being relatively fit, despite the occasional heart attack, plus having a home gym and being reasonably assiduous with it, at medium pace. This abode is where no rocking chairs reside … not one.

Plus having a project which makes demands, e.g. this blog, where good folk are awaiting the next instalment now and then. So “one” imagines. Anyway, back up to speed, bod moving at pace, liquid imbibed, ready to have another go at the oat soaking in the saute pan (now repaired from yesterday).

6. DAD at 1149

Special report: What everyone predicted has happened – the fall of the French Government of Francis Bayrou. The uxexpected thing was the size of the defeat. Of the 558 votes cast, 364 deputies voted “against” confidence in the government; whereas François Bayrou only obtained 194 votes “for”.

a) Radical Left-wing leader Jean-Luc Mélenchon has called for a new French Revolution from an army of young left-wing workers, many of whom will try to bring France to a halt on September 10…

b) Officers patrolling French beaches lack training and proper equipment, a police leader has said, despite hundreds of millions of British taxpayers’ pounds being handed over to France.

Tuesday [1 to 5]

5. Par for the course I’d say


4. The fish rots from the head


When churches have hierarchies of control and human “leaders” running things, then it’s like Reform … concept good, policy area good in general with the rank and file, even middle management … from thereon upwards, it’s worse and worse corruption.

At the very top, the decision makers … they’re usually in thrall, constantly being lobbied. The dark side, in all its sickness, is perma-around … from the smoke of satan in the Vatican to the Merc driving tele-evangelists, back to the Templars. The one who always fascinated me in his horror was Cardinal Marcinkus … evil muvver.

3. A woman’s life

I’ve thought a bit about what being a woman is like … for a start, she’s built for ensuring procreation, men are built for a vaiety of things … they’re hardly objects of desire … except that betwen about 11 and 13 … I was, for adults both male and female. So I have an inkling what it constantly is for women but that’s about it … constant come-ons.


2. Toodles sent this by Glenn Beck

We know he had a breakdown after this time, said some strange things, but this is still useful backgrounding:

1. Summary so far from around the west

Bearing in mind that it’s mainly antipodaean and North American at this time, Britnews later … the big two from across the pond are firstly the WSJ supposed letter from Trump to Epstein.

Last night, I did not save the comparative signatures on X, showing discrepancies and this morning, they’re gone. Instead there are two similar signatures which are close … these are being posted by Demrats. Nothing conclusive but there was this:


The second is the NC murder of the Ukrainian girl Iryna by the black psycho out on bail. Naturally, everyone from the black woman judge to the woman in charge of Charlotte security are being called out … the black just walked off the subway carriage once she was dead, no one even looked up.

Over here, the big news is another Banksy graffiti pic of a judge bashing a protester with a gavel. Authorities quickly put it behind a barrier and erased it.

Monday [16 till close of play]

(1631) Almost evening all. Boo hoo … no one wished our blog a happy first bday yesserday? Cryin’.

 

20. France


19. The view from Scotland


18. You ready for Crimbo yet?


17. The quiz

1982 … the confuser was The Animals. It charted in 1964 of course but then recharted in 1972 and then 1982. The giveaway for me was The Pretenders.

16. DAD at 1149

Vote of [no] confidence in the French Parliament today.

Voting Procedure

This debate which started at 15h will then be followed by the vote, which is expected to begin between 6:30 p.m. and 7:00 p.m.

The vote will take place by “open ballot at the rostrum,” meaning that MPs will file their ballots one by one. MPs will have approximately 30 minutes to vote for, against, or abstain. Once the ballot is closed, the results will be announced immediately. Probably by 20h. [19h UK time.]

Monday [11 to 15]

(1109) Afternoon all … chores, chores, chores today here. Shall get back here whenever I can. (1359)

 

15. Nice to see a country

… where things seem to be slowly falling into place.


14. Remember the Gaza twerker/dancer on the deck, with cafe tablecloth headdress?

Same old questions … what happens to the brain? Why?


13. They know full well, don’t they


12. Yes, I agree with Christina below

… I’ll join any posse of native men to protect a girl under attack … but the girls must also take some responsibility .. go around in numbers, always be around native men, have a defence plan. Plus not be obnoxious, self-entitled and naive.


The girl MUST show some sense as well … this one travelled, by herself … quite unaware of danger to such a girl, was not at work or home, then vlogged it. Insane.


This one the same, though via the water, not public transport:


Not the slightest sense of needing some sort of defence, alone.

Monday [1 to 5]

(0511) Still dark out there. (0552)

 

5. A girl’s view of the previous post item


Not wrong.


4. Just how far suppression is taken

I have done my own suppression here … not showing the CCTV moment the black behind her stabbed her, plus a separate, Wiki photo of her in full glam, a file photo … and highly gorgeous she was too … which may or may not have been a factor in the killer’s decision. Against that, you can easily find both on socmed … I did just now.

And yes, it was the regular, high traffic pundits of “the right”, meaning the still sane non globopsycho, non Wokeloony, which I quote below:


This is the state of play in the west and why DJT is using the National Guard but by the same token, libertarians warn that this is accruing precedents repetitively, as a precursor to some form of martial law.

Which plays straight into the neoHegelian dialectic as oft-stated online … create lawlessness and danger, people cry out why is nothing done (Weimar revisited), in rides the people’s hero and takes the measures, then it does not go back to the good ole days … he remains with those powers.

The counter is that it all depends on the mindset, maybe even the godliness of the leader, in the first place … the nature of the man.

Still playing devil’s advocate … the whole tragedy is soooo melodramatic, almost pantomime. Why on earth did that girl sit there, oblivious? What was that monster on, what drugs? What media hatred of whites? How dare she be so gorgeous?

Except she was not … the footage shows an almost biafran waif under the cap, drawn physique, not the fullbodied beauty of Wikipedia. And it fits the justication evidence to a tee.

Against that is a dead girl. That is the horror of today. Sporadic incidents, small percentage of the whole … and yet it goes on and on and on, provocation by Them or the Fabians of ConFR or WEF, whatever.

I keep coming back to the sheer unawareness of the girl, of millions of girls. There was another CCTV shot … two girls on a railway platform, tube, subway, whatever. Black or deathcult creep starts pawing one of them, stroking her hair, she pushes him away … that’s precisely what the girls’ groups are saying.

But I’m asking … why the hell were those two girls alone on that subway bench in the first place? Today in the west. They’d ask why not? Free country. Is it? Norwegian girls in Morocco. Everyone knows I’m talking girls not being in that position in the first place … can clearly not look after their own safety, unaware because of political brainwashing.

Who’s going to dtop them? Their fathers? Which fathers anyway today? And our own impotence in the matter … us men … another manipulation by Them, innit?

An update posted by Elon:

“After the Ukrainian woman was murdered, the mayor issued a statement exclusively defending the homeless and mentally ill. No mention of the killer’s 14 arrests and multiple felonies.”

3. This was yesterday, late afternoon

… snapped on the ipad through glass, so not crystal clear. Just support for that red dawn pic, saying what you already know … that there are certain “windows” of time, either end of the day, only about fifteen minutes apiece, and one can miss it if snoozing or doing chores.


2. Issues for the public in assessing studies

HERE FOR EXAMPLE

  • Substantial official lying and suppression of certain effective measures
  • Our own (amateur) ability to read and process
  • Creation of deep public cynicism, tendency to dismiss from “approved” sources
  • Possibility of this very reaction being manipulated against effective improvement

Very few of us have studied sufficient submissions to journals over many years but against that, have the journals themselves, over the years, been lied to by omission/suppression and bias … and on what basis? Inconclusive, exhaustive basis or cost and profit?

There was a post at OoL in which one reader presented the official dazzling array of “studies” and then we presented what we’d had on file or had found, giving counter-indications. The first came back with simple denial, no extra data. In other words, he’d gone into official/leftwing sources and quoted one … we had gone into countersources available in socmed like X and much wider (IYE etc.) … whom does one believe?

1. DAD at 1149

a) Barring an unlikely reversal of fortune, François Bayrou will end his term at Matignon on Monday, September 8. Appointed on promises of overcoming divisions and dialogue, he has failed in his endeavor.

b) (Links on) Free speech in the UK – or rather – the lack of it.

c) Migrants in northern France have been the target of an advertising campaign warning them that they risk being returned to France if they cross the Channel in small boats.

Sunday [12 till close of play]

(1645) Almost evening all.

16. Charlotte has the goods on this child

15. Andy and Slade

I could have held off until after the first two posts tomorrow but somehow, I thought it was better to run it now, plus the question of eras came up earlier. Andy wrote, at 1149:

“Jimbo, I know you like your reaction videos, and they are usually entertaining. This one below was… well, hugely informative and a bit sad. We all grew up with their sound, so… C’mon Feel the Noize!“

Right … the reactor’s question was how he’d never heard of them, yet he’d heard some of the songs, as covers. I’m puzzled about why Slade were never part of my deliberate listening. Yes, we heard them all the time with that Robert Plant type voice … we knew all Plant’s band’s songs, we were into The Yardbirds, The Who, Waterloo Sunset, we knew The Clash from 1976.

When I returned from one of my journeys, we went to the Ammersmith Odeon to see Great Rock n Roll Swindle. We knew Tenpole Tudor, Jona Lewie. But also around were Clapton, Free … it goes on. So why not Slade? Why not Queen later? Why never AC/DC, never Oasis, never Ozzy Whatsisname? Hmmmmm.

I’m thinking the costumes … could never handle clown outfits, bell bottoms, flares. Why was I a strong fan of Dan McCafferty and Nazareth but not Slade? Kiss? Yuk. Adam Ant? Not really.

Plus there were other British artists we loved … Ian Dury, Graham Parker. Fairport Convention, Sandy Denny. Why not Slade? Going back … Eric Burdon, Troggs, Bad Company. I’m thinking maybe we were listening to American bands too. Ramones were big, Steely Dan, Eagles, Santana. Back in Blighty … The Stranglers, with Hughie. Why not Slade? Esp. not Gary Glitter. Going to look up Glam now.

Hmmmm … Bowie … no way. Yet Bryan Ferry we listened to. Genesis no, T Rex no, Yes no, UB40 no, Police no, Traffic not really, ELP yes. Rhyme or reason in those choices? Sweet no, Strawbs no. Joy Division … definitely yes, plus New Order. Think Noddy Holder just screamed, whereas others sang.

Tull yes. Theatrical band though. Hmmmmm. Sex Pistols? No. Wreckless Eric? Yes. Boy George? Never. Mark Knopfler? Yes.

14. Reform have the classic issue facing the whole country

Farage sees himself as head of Tories 2.0, Muslim Party, therefore PM, also wants that gong. Reform members are there only to make that happen. Reform members, the heart of society outside the M25 bubble, good people, simply can’t see it.


13. This

12. Hearts of Oak

I notice Steve has something up at 1148 as well … check it out.
