Armistice Day [1 to 5]

(0355) Morning all. Operationally, it’s good to crash about 2130 and awake around 0330, thereabouts, as it gives me collecting and collating time before the DAD drop, let’s me review last evening. No doubt you have your routines … continued in Tue 2.

 

5. Trust the MSM eh?


4. Three creeps

November 11th in France.

There is a beautiful article in the magazine for the Department of Deux-Sevres here….

Go to “www.thedsm.fr”; click on the top site “The DSM – Your free English Magazine for Local Living”; Click on “Read Online”; Scroll down and click on “November 2025”; scroll down to page 24.

The DSM

JH: I followed DAD’s instructions and they were fine as he’d written but as is my job, I noticed things as I went … firstly that they were going to put us through hoops to get to that article … in other words, it was subscription … secondly that it is published by Dragon something, a bit offputting … thirdly that no part of the article may be reproduced without written permission from the publisher … and fourthly that when I did subscribe, confirmed via email and opened in another browser, it said:


And that was that. Hoping you have better luck. What DAD could do though for Unherdables, if he wished, would be to precis or paraphrase, summarise, without direct quote, maybe in a few paragraphs. We can then save that either at NOWP or at UHC-WP.

2. Tue 2 and the state of play for us, personally

Firstly, our cyber issues. Tomorrow, I’ll be consulting our cyberman over two developments re HQ … these things are ongoing. Secondly, there is the Anon issue again at OoL. Thirdly, there is this latest with DAD’s recommended read … admittedly, I have multiple security hoops to jump through first and so it failed at one of those.

It’s conceivable that your own device and subscription set up, your cookie enabling etc., are not compatible with leaving comments at any one, a few or all of our site urls. That’s no major deal overall, though it’s distinctly frustrating at the point of “scribble off a comment, click, check out” … only to find it never went up, that you need to find other ways.

This is increasingly necessary now, what with this Starmeresque clownette who censors all comment in the UK … she’s about to get hers in the US.

From cyber issues to real life. Steven Barrett warned days ago that it will deteriorate gradually … then all at once … just as with the Edmund Fitzgerald. There is certainly a time when the word goes out for the mass slaughter of the western indigenous, while “the elite” are safely jetted away.

Now, you either accept the reality of their plan and do the maths … check the numbers … fighting age savages v the British forces, always deployed far away by the govt. … and if your mind is capable of comprehending that, what is your cunning plan?

Personally, I am watching a situation, as in the Hitchhikers’ Guide, where all former, parallel “homes” have now almost gone under … that is, there’s no point revisiting any place in the west … all are as bad now, poised for utter disaster. The only safe places are “second world”, i.e. former Soviet who are innoculated against accepting communism.

Life is not easy there, I’ve been there, esp. now when “western nations” have become dirty words. It’s not unlike states such as Florida and others telling New Yorkers that it’s a terrible place to live with them … heat, gators etc., southern accents. They do NOT want left-liberal NYC carpetbaggers flooding the place.

I once had a part-solution … a boat … quite realisable as long as it was under international maritime, not UK/US. Plus I’m too old now … signs slowly overtaking. In short, when the word goes out to slaughter the infidel, where will you be? Where will I be? Will our defences be good enough?

… with PMQs from Nov 5th … HERE:

“JC said these were “very serious matters” that required him to ask a “further, very important question”:

“Can he reassure the House that since Kebatu was released, no other asylum-seeking offender has been accidentally let out of prison?”

Everybody (including Lammy, as he later admitted) knew the answer to that already. It was in the morning edition of the the Daily Telegraph: there had indeed been another inadvertent release of a foreign jailbird, an Algerian this time.”

AKH theatre

 

As referred to earlier, dear reader:

Review:

“In an unusual outing for The Saint, our hero conspires with the aunt of a spoilt heiress to teach her petulant charge some good manners by forcing her to accompany him on a 10-day trek by foot across Spain. The ostensible reason for this act of altruism on Simon’s part is that the heiress is betrothed to his best friend. The aim, evidently, is to reform the woman-child before she inflicts a lifetime of misery on her husband-to-be. 

The heiress is an utterly obnoxious, self-entitled brat, continually throwing tantrums when she doesn’t get her way. She thoroughly deserves everything Simon metes out to her in this latter day Taming of the Shrew.

Inevitably some critics will accuse the scriptwriters of sexism, misogyny, and a host of other gender crimes merely because the brat is a woman and her tormentor a man. I think that’s humbug. If the shoe were on the other foot, and a stern matron was teaching a few home truths to a self-absorbed playboy, the same critics would be chortling with glee. 

Not a bad episode, but it hardly ranks among the best. To me the biggest puzzle is what could have possessed Simon’s friend to have proposed marriage to such a spoilt, narcissistic bimbo. He must have been hard up for cash or blinded by her feminine charms. In either case, he owes Simon more than he can know.”

My afterthoughts:

Some reviewers objected to the “sexism” … ST would be running great risks, post 1996/7, were he in the English speaking west. Even so, in 1962 Britain, it was maybe OTT even then, who knows? Yet against that, it IS Roger Moore, so a girl might accept it more.

To my mind, the casting of the female is the issue … even when chastened near the end, she’s still quite iffy, not my cup of tea anyway. At the same time today, seeing Steve B’s chart quiz, there was a song You Sexy Thing, reissued in 1996/7, plus there was another version at the same time by T shirt which I can’t sit through. That bratty, kick butt boss-girl wonderwoman thing was coming into its own … hence all the wall-hitting today and “why don’t men want us”.

Lay that squarely at the door of Fabian feminazism. Those two in that song … what self-respecting man would go anywhere near either of em?

And yes, it’s easy to reverse it and target obnoxious, come-on line men … or simps … or mansplainers or the violent, or today’s beta males or troons. To me, clear gender roles involves chivalry. Not sure how a sigma becomes chivalrous but that’s what I see as the summum bonum for men who had fathers during their upbringing.

Ta, AKH, for sending this.

Much as I revere Steve and AKH … hesitated to run this below because of the excruciating interviewers. In a similar way, this afternoon’s AKH theatre I hesitated over, not liking the bratty girl at all, even if she dd get her comeuppance.

Anyway, here tis:

12. Wild animal posts a wild bird

11. Fifth “criminal” to be examined… Shauni Ray Kerkhoff

Monday [6 to 10]

(0503) Still dark here, folks. I would suggest readers bookmark Mon 6 for the future, that is … if any friend of yours is having such a family issue, show them that post item. (0534)

 

10. Just a couple which Pam noticed


9. Fourth “criminal” to be examined … Phillips

The “more” of the “show more” here is that man’s post, which he appears to have deleted.


8. Svali mentioned their Achilles heel was unforeseen error


7. Third “criminal” to be examined … Obama


6. Families will split, approaching the endtime

Monday [1 to 5]

(0420) Still dark out there. Not as many topics this morning but each is long. (0502)

 

5. Second of the “crims” examined … Pence


I’m now relying on your own archives of what was posted at N.O., via Polly on Bitchute, on Pence. There was, for example, a chart in the YT posted which showed Pence in relation to PEPFAR and that involved other names which have come up, e.g. Brock, Gates … it’s quite murky.

It also needs to be said that unless you took the advice long ago and bookmark away from your main device, e.g. on stick or hard drive, or you wrote the main points on paper … then when the spoonfeeding does end, when the data is no longer readily available, your own files now kick in. I have some of it on Pence but not at this abode, not on stick or drive here.

4. First of the “crims” examined … Omar

2. The Senate sweetheart deal of Thune and Demons

It’s perfectly obvious what’s going on here … Thune is assuming executive powers for himself … i.e. he alone approves the way it will be, what the Demons get of their demands. It then lands on Trump’s desk to refuse. The moment he refuses, due to Demonic things slipped in, then the entire Demon media blames Trump for people not being paid.

b) Belgium, home to Euroclear — an international central securities depository that holds most of the frozen Russian assets — is demanding firm guarantees before allowing that money to be used [by the EU for (the) Ukraine].

c) Spain. Last month, the Mossos d’Esquadra (Catalan police) arrested five people in Mollerussa for buying a 14-year-old girl for €5,000 and forcing her to marry an adult.

d) It’s a mad, mad world. “For your information, in Hungary, the number of illegal immigrants is zero. Because we have a crystal-clear system for entries and exits. If someone wants to enter Hungary, they must first apply.

Sun Mat

 

It’s around lunchtime and contacting certain friends time, so this is a good time to post this 1968 version. The best rated is 1987, rated 7.9), so obviously unavailable, ditto with 1983, only in animated form. 1932, 1923 are not highly rated. This is a short, made for TV version, with Peter Cushing … it will need to do … best of what is available.

A review:

“Repeating what they did with “A Study In Scarlet”, the BBC series with Peter Cushing & Nigel Stock decided to adapt Doyle’s 2nd-ever Holmes story– and the 2nd novel– as a single episode, rather than a 2-parter. This seems insane, except on watching the result, I’m stunned that so little that seems important was left out. In fact, there are several sequences in this version I have not seen in ANY of the multiple other ones I’ve seen, and several scenes that are allowed to play out at a rather relaxed, leisurely pace. Of course, to make up for this, huge chunks are cut out entirely, and what’s left races by at a frightening pace, the likes of which I’ve only seen in the 2nd half of the Tom Baker version of “HOUND”.

Ann Bell presents a very sweet, attractive version of Mary Morstan, and more time is spent focused on the budding romance between her & Watson than any other version I’ve seen outside of the 1932 Arthur Wontner-Ian Hunter film. Paul Daneman’s Thaddeus Sholto is reasonably eccentric (including his “Elmer Fudd” lisp), much younger than Miles Malleson’s from the ’32 film, not as handsome as the one from the Ian Richardson film, but nowhere near as annoying-as-hell as when Ronald Lacey played him in the Jeremy Brett version. It’s amusing and a bit awkward when, near the end, both Mary & then Watson mistake his actions as those of a romantic rival, when he’s just someone out to do the right thing.

Cushing’s Holmes is genuinely hyper-active in this, as he’s racing to get thru as much of the dialogue and the story as possible in the absurdly-limited time allotted. He doesn’t even have a chance to go undercover in disguise as Wontner, Richardson or Brett did. But I did enjoy his amusment at the expense of his Scotland Yard counterpart.

The highlight of this version, for me, was John Stratton as Inspector Athelney Jones, a man who’s so arrogant, egotistical and conceited, he makes Lestrade look like a real sweetheart by comparison. More than any other version of Jones I’ve seen, Stratton is hilarious when he first dismisses Holmes as “the theorist”, then, only seconds later, begins spewing out his own half-baked theories, which Holmes takes almost too much delight in picking apart. “And the dead man gets up to lock the door from the inside?” “…There’s a flaw there… Somewhere… “

In recent years, the locked-door murder has become to me a blatent tribute to the one in Poe’s “The Murders In The Rue Morgue”, with a sailor and an organgutan replaced by a one-legged man and a pygmy. Despite this episode being near the end of the 2nd BBC series, so much of it displays Holmes explaining his methods and philosophy toward life that it screams to be watched before all the others (except for “A Study In Scarlet”, which should be watched first). I especially enjoyed his meeting up with the butler, McMurdo, who he once went several rounds of boxing with years earlier.

In a bit of continuity I missed on earlier viewings, Wiggins (Tony McLaren) makes his 2nd appearance, coming to see Holmes by himself after he was instructed to leave the rest of his underaged detectives in the street in “Scarlet”.

So much of the back-story, mood and character were left out of this adaptation, yet the parts that are here make me enjoy this as a very enjoyable alternative to the others. My favorite is still the Ian Richardson film, while my least-favorite, sadly, is the one with Jeremy Brett. (Now I’m just waiting for the British Film Institute to do their massive restoration project on the Eille Norwood series, so I can see the 1923 version cleaned up properly. The video currently on Youtube is a real chore to plow through until then.)”
