The promised Maigret from series one:
Monday [7 to 11]
(0928)(0946)
11. Eyes trained on Alaska just now
10. I’ve a new friend from Provence
… who likes the colours I also use around here, though my trim tends more to riotously rich colours, hers to lavender and blues.
At the same time, someone is deleting my comments on another friend’s account … think I might mark time on that for now. Most on X just now are discussing the Summit.
9. Walking in the woods
8. Just in time for winter
7. The new Big Pharma vaxx
Pontefract
In a slight bind here … as one who incessantly argues with himself (stand back, you amateurs), I flung a barb earlier about the unemployed on benefits and making youtube videos, gallivanting around the countryside.
However, had we not such folk doing this, plus retired oldies to post it, then we’d be missing things quite interesting. Plus those in comments seem to be knowledgeable on these sorts of presentations. So I vote we keep at this type of thing for awhile.
Note the hearts below … that’s a presenter who:
a. Reads his comments and
b. Has a sense of humour.
Monday [2 to 6]
(0705) IYE is en vacances. (0734)
6. Andy at 1129
Interesting take on the upcoming meeting and the leased corridor. Also a very telling comment at around seven minutes which explains much about current fiscal policy in UK and yurp.
(JH quick note … good vid but note the clickbait heading does not correspond with the content … does yt later invent the title on the thumbnail?)

- Nearly Half of Gen Z Say They Would Choose Financial Stability Over Love, Shocking Survey Reveals
- Rubio Condemns ‘Jesus Christ Superstar’ Performance, Warns of Persistent Anti-Christian Sentiment
- Corrupt Democrats Could Finally Face Justice
- Trump Nominates State Department Spox Tammy Bruce as Deputy UN Ambassador
- Russia’s Encircling Strategy Now Threatens Fortress Of Krasny Lima
- A Class Action Against MKUltra Was Just Certified and I am a Plaintiff
- Much more.
JH: Just on that first, this yt “short”
Notice no one makes shorts about men’s limitations? Why not? Made by Boomer or Gen X males, not those who dislike us? I could run one on the limitations of males quite easily.
4. Any need for further commentary?
3. DAD at 1129
a) CIVIL WAR is coming to Ireland!!! (I didn’t want to release this VIDEO! 15 minutes.)
b) UK Immigration enforcement officers stopped and questioned 1,780 individuals between July 20 and 27 and 280 people were arrested
c) Putin ally claims critics could use diplomatic maneuvers or media provocations to sabotage talks.
d) Italy’s government is moving forward with plans to tighten access to gender-transitioning procedures for minors.
2. Rolf Norfolk has just posted at N&N
… and it’s well worth a read … excerpt:
“… even a 50% decline in the stock market would not return any of the high-flying stocks to anywhere near reasonable valuation metrics,” says Karl Denninger, reading signs he saw “in front of the 2000 and 2008 market dislocations.”
In May 2007 I reported a similar prediction (Dow to drop 50%) by another expert, Richard Daughty aka The Mogambo Guru. It took two years to actualise but…
Denninger says his own pattern-reading is not a good timing indicator, but he seems convinced it’s going to happen again.
Still sanguine? Here’s a comment on my 2007 post:
Monday [1]
(0535) Morning all … first light was exactly 0500 … there are four topics ready to go … good sleep but that meant I was late to post another at NOWP. Two topics coming up are sleep in 2025 and youtube “advice”.
This is going to be long … if it’s not run now, I’ll forget most of it in the rush of events later
Manipulation, living a fantasy, an incomplete reality
a. Starting with youtube last evening. To be fair, they latch onto what we’ve been searching for and watching and for a person in my position as a researcher and pundit, the “recommendeds” are flooded, not only by “confirmation bias” videos but they are far too often highly contrived, clickbaity, sensationalist … why?
Because yt monetise it that way. Many are actually using it to pay the rent, along with govt benefits … so yes, it will be “which five actors Richard Widmark hated” or John Lennon with musicians or whatever. It goes on and on and on, like an MSM 60 mins segment, highly biased, quite wrong in detail, e.g. “hated” and busy or sleepy people just drink it in … unless they have begun to wake up.
b. Which means it’s time to restate this model of society …
Picture the mass of humanity moving up a moderately sloping hill, dotted all the way back along the broad, bitumen road with concrete verges, nothing too difficult for the mass of humanity to handle.
Every so often, somebody has paused, up ahead, to reveal some wisdom he/she’s discovered … he climbs onto a soapbox. Means nothing to those downwind, further back down the road … their wisdom is what they’ve discovered only up till then … so they’re telling those who’ll listen about that reality, an incomplete reality … those up near the top of the hill have more command of facts and yet they’re incomplete too, mortal … difference is they see their mortality, limitations to their gnosis.
Just a few have left the main road and are taking a tortuous uphill route off to the right, up through brambles, danger, wild animals, over rocks … because someone near them had discovered a series of books with a revealed wisdom. Big deal, said others … gnosis is an alternative reality, Egyptology is an alternative reality, why should this, called KJV, be any different?
And yet more and more are leaving the mainstream, the main road, and taking that perilous path up into the clouds.
c. Meanwhile, the main road reaches the shoulder of the hill, curves left and starts the plummet down to the town with all its comforts, druggies, terrorists, sex addictive fleshpots … ultimately the road to hell (Chris Rea).
And as part of this, human folly knows no bounds … also intelligence is like that main road with people dotted along it. There are always those more able ahead, always those making the same mistakes behind, below.
d. Quick tale … in Russia, the flat owner was having the ceiling and walls repaired and repainted … a woman and her assistant … the latter was not the brightest spark and yet, her attitude was that she had the world at her fingertips, plus she was thirsty for validation as a “knower”, someone respected above … she was not but her 24/7 fantasy was that she was.
She caught me out with something wrong about Russia and was making a meal of it … loudly. The actual boss/worker was listening, repairing, painting. The assistant was standing, paint pots in hand … “Oh James, James!” … as in “you total klutz, you fool” … big grin on her face as she swung around, paintpot crashing into the glass-panelled living room door … but it did not break, that door, as it had criss-cross wire through the glass.
Did she immediately grin sheepishly, self-deprecating? Of course not … she doubled down, in a “James, James, look what you just made me do, distracting me this way” manner. That woman was so desperate for validation as a person of equal or higher value, that she was incapable of conceding, e.g. Donny on vaxxes, e.g. RFK Jnr on his brand new, Big Pharma supervaxx he’s committed to.
e. At this point, there was another yt which I’m not running … and no one takes a woman apart more effectively than another woman who’s accepted realities. Problem is, it addresses only that, e.g. men always think in terms of obstacles to a plan they’re following, finding a way around it, getting back to smooth running, whereas women are often not remotely interested in conflict resolution, only in taking each new issue and emoting over it. Those weren’t my words, they were hers.
But even she was strange … trying to lecture women to accept something they refused to concede? A man could have told her it was an impossibility. Simple man, that is, with two things on his mind … nooky with gorgeous women, plus conflict and obstacle “getting arounds”. That’s man’s life. Plus money.
And as ever, it was focussing on one or two aspects, skipping over the ones they do not wish to pursue. On youtube, with highly stylised hyperbole and clickbait … for money. Talk about the blind leading the blind.
Resolution? How? If the reaction is to pontificate on one’s own angle, just as I’m doing here, now, if the second reaction is to swiftly retreat to ideological “camps”, firing over at the other camp’s trenches … how far forrarder are we to finding resolution? Always fighting, fighting, fighting, on a completely uneven, potholed playing field.
/ END.
Sunday [11 till close of play]
16. Now, this Chas 3 thing
My hope was sacking the govt, calling a GE. Someone thought it was abdicating due to cancer. Another though it was Ginge, Whinge and family, inc. Airmiles. 🍿🍿🍿.
15. Sorority mania going viral across the US
… in the wake of Sydney fever:
This is now getting way out of hand:
14. Coming up to 811, here’s 911
13. Steve part two
War Room at 1129:
- Cleo Paskal: “It Might Be Beneficial To Start Thinking About An Indo-Pacific Charter”
- Dave Brat: “The Deal For Zelensky Is Kyiv Or No Kyiv, It’s Not A Peace Deal, It’s The Survival Of Ukraine”
- Tom Dans On Upcoming Meeting Between Putin And President Trump In Alaska: “This Is Where Russia And America Come Together In Our History”
- Dr Bhattacharya: “As Far As Public Health Goes For Vaccines, The mRNA Platform Is No Longer Viable”
12. Steve part one
11. West to Alaska
Now, the obvious thing is to get the ingredients in before Friday’s summit in Alaska … you’ll need to drink a toast of course on the feast of Mary:
https://www.liquor.com/recipes/classic-bloody-mary
Krovavaya Meri or Bloody Mary
Ingredients: Seven in all: vodka, tomato juice, Worcestershire sauce, black pepper, celery salt, Tabasco and lemon juice. You’ll also need to prepare nibbles ahead of time.
Method: Combine all bar the vodka, pour the mix into the glasses … now comes the important part. You need a hunting knife or other large bladed knife, point at the top of the mix, blade at an angle. Very careful drip the vodka in along the blade so that it sits on top of the mix, so that it does not sink in and become part of the mix. After the toast, sink the vodka, feel the burn, followed by the mellow mix. Nibble.
За здоровье, friends!
Ramblers
When pushed for time, which jazz group would you revert to for three quick tracks? For me, either Tuba Skinny or some manifestation of the Ramblers … especially approaching the Russian summit in Alaska.
General update plus Sun Mat
Time is the issue now … not enough left this afternoon for a film but I did find a Poirot plus an original Maigret. There are politics but best get this episode up, then find some jazz, then do a final polit-post, including Steve’s Alaskan summit sshot.
It’s not only about China
What all who visit here, plus I, am looking for is some sort of authentic information on the topics we look at. Rather than boasting that we have it yet, better to say that if we find something still up which was factually wrong, as distinct from interpretation and opinion … it doesn’t stay up. That can take years.
A second point is that clearly and openly biased people are often of more use to readers … look at what he or she puts, then look at what the detractor puts. Then evaluate against other things you know. Laura Loomer is one of those … a known-known. This Chinese guy below … might be originally Hong Kong, might be mainland, might be nationalist … clearly anti-CCP … fine, we know where we stand. Better to post than not to post. For the CCP eulogy, go to South China Press or similar.
Sunday [6 to 10]
(0911) Putting together the collected things for Sunday, none are classical or baroque music … that would involve going searching … fine, but later. On the other hand, there’s much in the way of politics, plus some interesting feature youtubes, one coming up after this. (0929)
10. If I’ve no immediate music to run
… then maybe this might suffice for now:
9. It cannot inexorably continue
… a reckoning of some kind or other must come.
8. On Chas 3 and The Beloved Sausage
7. Speaking of Alaska
6. Strawberries
