Every truth gotta have its day

You only need string together a few established truths stretching way back - in the case of the USA, around 1776 and in the years leading up to that, plus a flurry mid 1800s both sides of the pond, plus the 1920s, plus the 50s/60s, and there’s your pattern right there.

In the second article, the retired General mentions:

“I saw the biggest threat to our republic, our democracy, our form of government, everything I fought for,” Bolduc said of the radical movements seizing power in America. “I lost 72 men and women in combat over 10 tours in Afghanistan in 2 years as the special operations commander.

“And the threat was from within,” he said. “And that is how America is going to go down.”

Gen. Boykin said Marxists are implementing the playbook from the 1960s book The Naked Communist.

The Perils Of Multinational Chains...

Co-op boss Steve Murrells has worked in the retail sector for decades, so when he says shortages are 'at a worse level than any time I have seen', he has to be taken seriously.

But bare shelves at his supermarkets are not the only sign that something's up. McDonald's stopped serving milkshakes and bottled drinks this week after becoming the latest victim of a nationwide shortage of delivery drivers. Chicken chain Nando's shut 50 outlets last week after its suppliers struggled to deliver enough peri-peri wings. And at Marks & Spencer stores, signs were put up warning customers that some bakeries have run out of fresh pastries due to 'delivery issues'.

These aren't 'shortages' as we normally understand them. 

The country's not running out of flour and eggs, and there hasn't been an outbreak of bird flu that has wiped out the supply of chicken, or another foot and mouth disease outbreak that has loosed DEFRA kill squads on our dairy herds...

But restaurant and fast food chains insist on control of supply. If Mrs Miggins running the corner shop cafe finds she's short of flour at the local cash and carry, she can nip to Tesco. The manager at the local McDonald's branch can't pop into Sainsbury and buy up all their milk, because he's not allowed to - McDonald's milkshakes can only be made with milk supplied by their own delivery service.

The haulage industry is labouring under a shortfall of around 100,000 truckers. The problem is so acute that the Government is considering increasing the maximum allowable length of an HGV by 6.5 ft.

So, is this the dreaded effects of Brexit that the Remainers warned about? No. It's government interference accompanied by market forces.  

Take the length of the average trucker's working week. HGV drivers are restricted to driving ten hours a day (up from nine pre-Covid), but factor in waiting times and they can be out of the house for 12-15 hours a day. The impact this has on family life has driven many younger drivers out, with the result that 62 per cent of the workforce is over 45.

But doesn't it pay well? 

Meanwhile, driver pay has slipped to the point that they get little more than supermarket shelf-stackers, partly due to the Government blocking a loophole that allowed them to operate as limited companies.To make matters worse, the number of drivers entering the industry for the first time has been badly hit by the Driver And Vehicle Standards Agency cancelling 'at least' 30,000 HGV driving tests last year due to Covid.

Oops! 

Kaisa Markhus

Though I did see it in passing, I thought it something Julia might pick up on and so waited:

Yeeesss, well Julia's humanity towards defenceless creatures is well known and thus I've nothing to say on the matter that people have been getting their knickers in a twist over but I am most interested in what became of the daughter wife.  Did she manage to get out of the country and leave the animals behind?

Yep, seems she did:

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-9935233/Pen-Farthing-reveals-relief-able-escape-Kabul-animals-not-former-staff.html

A week ago.  Not the staff though:

Kaisa Markhus, who fled Afghanistan last week for her native Norway, was eating dinner with her father in Oslo when she was told he was getting out.

There's quite a dilemma here. It's natural for a man to get his family out of the danger zone first, that goes without saying in my book, so I'm not saying anything about Mr. Penny in that respect. I'd have expected her to kick up a fuss about suddenly leaving him in the lurch like that and also leaving the animals in the lurch but between her hubby and father, plus she's a fair-haired Lara Logan type sitting duck for those animals [the Taliban kind], also her youthful inability to see the whole situation from long life experience - weeellllll, I've nothing really to say on it.

Seems she is or was a member of this lot:

https://ascendathleticsnorway.wordpress.com/blog/

... which explains her being in Afghanistan with impunity, just as those two Norwegian girls headed off to Morocco and had their heads cut off - naivety and foolhardiness do have a nodding acquaintance.

That's not what this post is about - it's about how easily, without wanting it - I was looking for her birthdate - I checked out her bio and suddenly, there was her home address, plus a detailed map of how I could get there. In the light of the current furore, one wonders how wise that is to leave up online.  And the father in Oslo?

As a vehement anti-doxxer, I say anyone who has done that to her needs arresting ... unless she did it to herself ... in which case how bleedin' naive can a kid be who's climbed mountains?  Just like those two Austrian girls fleeing to ISIS, only to be beaten to death by their delightful hosts.  I mean, how does one save them from themselves?

You Could Alway, Oh, I Don't Know, Be A Parent?

This column is not, of course, about how the son will cope at all, Reader, you'll no doubt be unsurprised to hear... 

I have to tread carefully here, of course. I respect the protocols and think they should be followed. I’m also keenly aware that the prospect of 10 days without childcare is hardly the most onerous blow people have experienced in the past 18 months.

I'm sure those Afghans plummeting to their deaths from a US plane had your struggles firmly in their minds... 

In the end, my wife worked in the mornings and I took the afternoons. For his part, the boy was very pleased. He’s still pretty sketchy on his days of the week, but even he began to wonder why the weekend was lasting so long. Not that he was complaining; he delighted in the strangeness of his break like it was a summer holiday from a dead-end job.

That your son is delighted to have both parents actually pay him attention rather than farming him out to strangers should give you pause, if you possessed a shred of self-awareness. 

To be honest, it astonishes me that he relishes time away from nursery since I’ve been in that place and it’s amazing. I don’t want to be reductive, but I think I’d quite like a nine-to-five routine where I got to build Lego and play at water tables all day, with a dozen of my closest friends.

Remind me again, who's the child in this situation? 

Core sources

There are many pundits grappling with definitions, trying to get a handle on what's going on - here's one from Perry de Havilland:

What is happening in USA is indeed socialist but not Marxist socialism by any reasonable definition. Moreover, the establishment embracing radical identitarianism, the hysterical obsession with race, and using huge corporations as a vector for their ideology makes this far, far more like some lunatic strain of gonzo fascism really. The Woke anti-fascists really truly are far closer to fascism than 99% of the people they call fascist (which is pretty much everyone who is not them).

Each person tries to make sense of it within the constraints of his own reading and listening but almost inevitably, that reality is at least missing a few pieces, hence the confusion.  Tinfoil hatters, as we're vilified and have been since blogs began, have a set of definitions such as those of Weishaupt in 1776, manifestos, agendas, which have hardly altered:

1. Abolition of all ordered governments 
2. Abolition of private property 
3. Abolition of inheritance 
4. Abolition of patriotism 
5. Abolition of the family 
6. Abolition of religion 
7. Creation of a world government 

While that was going on and then Karl Marx and the neo-Marxists with their five stage revolution - stage four being chaos and stage five being that nirvana they so crave in their simplistic theology, coupled with Adorno, Alinsky and the other Frankfurters and Friends, which Leary was part of in his own way - while all tht was going on, there's been a counter-set of values, a different agenda, in a series of books which includes such things as The Ten Commandments, the Beatitudes and various observations such as "woe is he who calls black white and white black", all of which is going on today.

And supplementing these can easily be added Yuri Besmenov from the 80s and his observation that the aim of this enemy, whoever it is, is to so alter perceptions that no one can any longer come to any sensible conclusions in the face of crisis.  In fact, that very confusion leads to fragmentation and polarisation, such that one set of brainwashed go around calling for "antivaxxers" to be incarcerated, the racists, the State happily acceding, aided and abetted by deep-captcha businesses, corporations, arms of govt and all sorts of agencies riddled throughout society, all which have been nobbled with pod people, place people.  Thus western society crumbles.

One aspect of the confusion is sites such as Daily Sceptic which are either controlled opposition or else they just miss the point, because of different source material for what "reality" is.  I've clashed with Perry before about definitions.  One set of people who might have followed OoL at one time are the left-libertarians and according to their sense of reality, none of this today makes any sense. 

Actually, if you look back at Weishaupt, who his masters were, his controllers, the whole game in America at that time [the statue of Ishtar in NY harbour and the copy in France are a dead giveaway when you look at their source], George Washington's quote about being quite satisfied that these people are doing what, essentially, is being done in 2021 - those sorts of things sheet it home to a quite clearly defined set of arcane thugs above in suits, the eternal-quislings who will sell out the nations when the time is ripe [sic].

And the game plan has never altered, no matter how it's tricked out, in which livery it proceeds, whether vaxx passport or eco-loonery such as Kyoto and the IPCC, plus the street thugs who occupy bridges.  There's one group, a UK group, I just looked up and here was part of its webpage:

Über uns: Unser Ziel ist Climate Connect: Zusammen etwas Verändern

Now isn't that interesting?  And if you explore it, it's based in Bavaria, where that very group named by Weishaupt is centred and also for Thule, for der Bruderheist, and not far from the Vecchi.  What the hell am I rabbiting on about?  My reply is that if you'd done your reading, instead of getting your reality from Daily Sceptic and other "soft", "respectable" sources, then you'd know how the thing works and where it's ultimately going.

The good news is that people are far less trusting of the MSM and the Uniparty in parliament than they were but many still go straight to the Daily MSM to learn what's happening - the shills, the trolls in other words.  Causing untold confusion over definitions.

War journalist Lara Logan, the one who had a reality check in Cairo about the death cult, came out the other day on Tucker [himself one with huge question marks against him, just as with Glenn Beck and Alex Jones], saying that it was quite simple what had happened in Afghanistan - gameplan.  Under the guise of surprise and no time to plan anything, oh dear, we're all so shocked, was the intention of handing that equipment to the forces arrayed against a free America and by extension, a free world.

As someone based there for a long time, she knew, as did many spetznas in Afghanistan, that Them knew full well what was going down, long ahead of time. See Operation Cyclone for a start.  And why stop there - go across to Kosovo, down to Darfur, earlier to Vietnam - the miscreants are so far in the open that nobody in any position in society can identify them.  Anyone heard of a man called Kissinger?  Kissinger, Kissinger - Nigerian name isn't it?  Not.  How about Warburg?  How about Solvay?  Bertelsmann?

Where would you look those up?  Google?  My aim is not to put down those not yet there but to just give a wake up call, that's all.  Your sources, good people, are everything - your core sources.  Because out of these come the bona fides for your opinion.

How Are You Enjoying Reaping That Whirlwind, Universities..?

An academic who was sacked after calling a Right-wing commentator a 'house n***o' is suing the university which cut ties with her for...

Breach of contract? Unfair dismissal?

...discrimination against her belief in critical race theory and black radicalism.

Hahahahahaha! 

The case could see black radicalism - an academic movement which argues race is a social construct used to oppress minorities - made into a protected belief system, like religious belief.

Well, they can't say they never saw this coming, can they?  

Ms Khanom is being supported by Professor Kehinde Andrews, who branded Churchill a 'white supremacist', arguing the term 'house n***o' is not a 'racial slur' but a 'concept that come out (sic) of struggles for racial justice'.

Is there some grift involved, because there usually is? 

On an online fundraising page created to raise £5,000 to cover her legal costs, Ms Khanom claimed she was the victim of a 'network of alt-Right activists'.

Ah. There it is! 

She wrote: 'LBU's conduct towards me suggests that academics should be looking over their shoulder before they make statements about Israel and Palestine, or about critical race theory. That is why this case and LBU's role in it is not just about me and my reputation as an anti-racist.

'Fundamentally, this is an important issue of freedom of speech.'

Oh, you're not wrong there. But not the way you think.... 

Ms Khanom said the tweets were not sent by her, adding: 'No academic should find their contract terminated so publicly in the absence of a fair and thorough investigation.'

I don't recall you being so supportive of Maya Forstater or Dr Binoy Sobnack or Bo Winegard...maybe I missed the press releases? 

The National Maritime Woke Altered History Museum in Greenwich

This chap’s been vlogging for a while and whether it’s the RNLI doing all they can to assist the invasion of Britain or similar, he comes out on the traditionalist side, in that case believing in the heresy that the RNLI should be engaged only in rescuing genuine cases.

This below follows a visit to The National Maritime Woke Altered History Museum in Greenwich, now an utter disgrace like the National Trust.  The cancer has certainly got into every institution in the land, every business except Wetherspoons perhaps, every brand, every hospital, school, court.

Stop Pandering To These Idiot Snowflakes!

Much of Dan Guthrie’s life has been haunted by...

A family tragedy? Escaping war and strife? Being caught up in a natural disaster like a tornado or earthquake?

...a disturbing mechanised figure resembling a tethered black slave boy, which is supposed to strike a bell hourly in the centre of Stroud.

*blinks* 

He first passed the automaton, which is known in clockmaking circles as a jacquemart, on his way to primary school in the 2000s and then secondary school – and now on his daily journey into work in the Cotswold town.

Has he not heard of Google Maps and their ability to find you an alternate route? Do all roads in Stroud lead past this automaton? 

“It is an offensive racist relic from the transatlantic slave trade, and the fact that it is still up in Stroud is a mystery to me.”

Oh, I can help you with that. It's because the world doesn't revolve around you.

...the debate about the clock’s future has become increasingly fraught since the town’s Conservative MP, Siobhan Baillie, criticised local anti-racists campaigning to have the divisive figure relocated. Baillie said “a certain minority of people with loud voices have an unquenchable desire to be constantly finding things to be outraged at” in a statement published in the local press and on her website last month.

Good lord, I think we might have found an actual real Conservative for once!  

Naturally, the usual suspects spring into action:

The founder of the group, Polly Stratton, a Stroud-based English teacher, says Baillie has poisoned the debate about the clock, which has been moved twice during its history and was last restored in 2004.

By expressing an opinion that the majority in the town probably have, Polly? 

“We didn’t look for this fight...

Oh, really? What, teaching doesn't keep you busy enough? 

... – all we are doing is raising awareness about a racist caricature that is having a traumatic effect on many people of colour in Stroud. Their views should be heard, not shouted down by someone with a public platform,” she says.

Like...you're trying to do to everyone else? 

“We’re not trying to hide it or tear it down. We want it on public display in a museum.”

To do that, wouldn't you have to tear it down? Or do you plan to build the museum around it? 

For an English teacher, you don't seem very bright. Or to appreciate what English words mean...

Baillie – who has spoken in parliament about the distress caused by anonymous racist and misogynistic social media trolls – has also worked with the Kick it Out charity, which campaigns against racism in football. But it firmly disagrees with her stance. “Whether it’s on the football pitch, online or in our town centres, we have to fight racism wherever we find it,” says Tony Burnett, the CEO of Kick it Out. “With that in mind, I would remind Ms Baillie that her work with Kick It Out on online anonymity does not give her a free pass to undermine anti-racist groups.”

What on earth gives this twerp the right to pronounce on this matter? Is the automaton depicted kicking a football? 

Madness which is manifestly malice aforethought

John M de France, DAD in other places, sent this today:

This is a photograph of the 'terrace' of my favourite Café, in which I cannot sit down in and have a café [I have no pass sanitaire], but I can walk right through in the middle of the pavement without a masque.  Other than this I would need to walk on the road.   Utter madness.

There is the other view too of course, that it is the loonery of those sucked in by highminded ideals of no practicality whatever and not even morally supportable, i.e. the Woke:

The truth is a mix of both IMHO, one relying on the other happening as well.  The cabal can't push through its criminal insanity without the Woke loons happily going along with it or even moaning, 'Mustn't grumble,' whilst even worse impositions are heaped upon them.

Trouble is - the silent sane are also caught up in other people's failure.

Rules of engagement

On the surface, a minor topic - I'd say it's a vital topic for the world, as vital as resisting these jabs, these jab passports, and I only started thinking that by reading and hearing what others were saying about it as a young man.  Observing people.

You might recall a post or two on dancing - when the touching stopped, when they started standing a yard and a half away and just gyrating, calling it dancing.  I can say for sure before 1968 and possibly around the time of The Twist.  

It coincided with the new promiscuousness - before that, the only way to touch was at a dance or in these social mores for walking down a street. Or to marry the lady before you got to the prize.  Air of mystery?  Anyone remember that?
