Elizabeth Holmes

Despite all the red flags, such as calling himself 'The Body Language Guy', then hitting us with this egregious 'hit like and subscibe before even telling us anything, buy my goods unseen', then flogging his book [that's not quite so bad, as it's free enterprise, innit] ... despite all that ...

... he's really not too bad ... makes some good points ... and I like how he concludes that she's not the classic psycho ... there are conditions she does not fulfil there for that designation.

https://youtu.be/BHHG1yAH-XY

Yet, as he shows, she did have these psycho phases in which she pitched her bullsh.  She may well have started out with a premise she believed in ... fear of needles ... and that's fair ... but she was also not alone, she did not do the biz part, this was guys in the background ... is it not ever the way?  

Yet she did go the route she did and investors bought it.  Why?

Part of that was simply that she was female.  As one susceptible to the female myself, as one who's spent inordinate swathes of time building up this girl or that, it was my job ... I can see the natural desire that this or that gal does well, succeeds.  It's nice to see it happen.

Where one starts to self-examine though is when the klutzy, overkilling establishment juggernaut latches onto the idea ... ah, promote the female on the grounds she has a baby chute, rather than understand that, just as with males ... there are those will make the cut ... and so many who won't.

But in the current twisted world of 'woman good, man bad' we find ourselves in, and increasingly, for variety, the twisted world of 'diverse good, indigenous bad' ... things become dismayingly skewed and the very worst people are promoted for an ideology, not on sheer merit.  Just look at parliament, congress.

Why were so many supposedly level-headed investors prepared to fork out like that?  Well, part of it is the man's hope that her smile can, in some way, become her favours, not so much in nooky but in her lovely presence just being around, her smile which makes the sun come out on an otherwise drab day, in the vicarious thrill of 'her'.

How so?  Well I'm the wrong one to ask, ask whoever designed male-female chemistry.

But it's there, it sells, it's easy to promote a Rebekah Brooks, her way is eased until the day she's caught out in her incompetence and her multiple sly moves.  

Enter the time of tears.

When a competent woman, what I call a good woman, runs things, things stay run, there's diligence in a woman, there are few dramas, if any the thing goes like clockwork.  There is most certainly this X factor of women out there who are more than capable, they need no approval from us, one does not hear of them because they're not show ponies like Holmes.  

In fact, the Holmeses and Fiorinas, the Caroline Flints, by their very self-promotion and bullsh, are red flags to anyone at least half-observant and not sucked in by narrative.  Why do they fly high for awhile?  

Because the people assessing these toxic femmes are blinded by the male-female chemistry, because the TFs spin a good yarn with all the right jargon, because they start to believe all the complimentary bullsh they're fed 24/7, because the high life is alluring ... because of so many things.  Because of their own uncontained ambition.

I believe that male and female working alongside one another are an unbeatable combo ... neither a psycho male boss nor an Elizabeth Holmes dominating ... I've seen it work so often in the workplace, the input is healthy, never skewed.  The narrative needs to be kept out of it, the foibles of each sex too. They both need to keep tabs on the other.

It works.  With eyes wide open.

If Only We Could Ban Stupid Parents...

A mum is calling for tiny toy magnets to be banned after her six-year-old daughter had to have emergency surgery to remove part of her bowel. Jane Bailey's daughter Melody swallowed four small magnetic balls - which then began to 'burn' through her internal organs as they attracted to each other.

The woman appeared on the ITV lunchtime news, and my immediate suspicion that she'd turn out to be someone with more chins than IQ points wasn't wrong...

The 30-year-old mum, who works as a support worker for people with learning difficulties, is trying to raise awareness of the dangers toy magnets can pose.

Don't we already know? Haven't there already been numerous cases?

The mum of two was gobsmacked by the whole ordeal, having heard about cases involving other children before and warning both Melody and her older sister Lucia Bailey, 11, about the dangers.

Wait, but then... 

But she says the pair were influenced by a social media trend to put the magnetic balls in their mouths as faux tongue and lip piercings, leading Melody to swallow some.

*sighs* Is the danger the magnets, social media or people with no idea of parenting? Or maybe it's all three... 

Tyburn hill gibbets for her and all like her?

From Sunday morn's  Daily Sceptic mailing

Before diving into the numbers this week, I’d like to give a big shout out to Ms. Kate Josephs CBE, formerly the Director of the Cabinet Office Covid taskforce. According to the Telegraph, which broke the story of her leaving party, she “literally wrote the rules” in relation to societal restrictions.

Ms. Josephs took to twitter yesterday to apologise for attending a leaving drinks party on December 17th 2020, when she had been substantially responsible for putting the rest of the country under house arrest. She writes about being “truly sorry” for attending the event – she clearly means she’s sorry for being exposed.

The true nature of Wokery and the damage it does

... to work and social infrastructure.  Hat tip to Rossa's mother.  This will also go up at N.O. and at Gab.  RM writes:

Got this from a Vox post, it really defies understanding in some ways, apart from the fact that we already know about this sort of thing after years of reading various blogs, yours included, but still it's completely off the scale, but then it is America, although perhaps it could still happen over here as well!!

Dear RM, far from defying understanding, it's precisely what we've been posting for some years now at this site and others - quite understandable and dismaying at the same time. It is true from all sources I have and no doubt from others - for a start, look at his own comments thread:

For those who cannot access this, pity, because it's pretty vital to apprise yourself about.  I'll include a small excerpt below, plus some comments at random, but there's vastly more:

Sometimes, It's Just As Well They Are Stupid And Incompetent...

It is alleged that, in a bid to cover his tracks, Doherty then falsified a Wikileaks document of members of the extreme right British National Party (BNP) to include Mr Hardy's name and address.

But a disciplinary hearing heard he was caught out by investigating officers who said he had 'not done a very good job at preparing the false document'.

Oh..? 

The rows of the spreadsheet did not line up, inverted commas on the faked entry were missing and Inspector Doherty added an address for Mr Hardy that he did not live at when the spreadsheet was produced, the hearing was told.

/facepalm 

Panel members were told how the alleged deceit was considered so serious that he was arrested, his home searched and electronic equipment seized.

He could not explain how he came by the spreadsheet, and allegedly claimed he had shredded and burnt the hard copy in a burner in his garden and had deleted the electronic version of it from a USB stick.

As you would... 

Inspector Doherty denies breaching the standards of professional behaviour in respect of authority, respect and courtesy, confidentiality, orders and instructions and discreditable conduct.

Do they only catch the incompetent ones? To think 'Line Of Duty' has been lying to us all these years... 

The bottleneck slowly starting to leak

There's a sort of weariness which grips after a year and a half, two years, and those who see things go through phases of apoplexy, dismay, sheer worry, utter fatigue - not for any medical reason but because of the evil muvvers and their control of the MSM-reality-controlled sheeple who do not question the narrative in the least ... until now, when the vaxxed are those getting sick, while the non-immune-impaired are not to anywhere near that extent.  The documentation we for example have been constantly putting out on it ... well, ok.

Adam's introduction to his post is quite understandable when faced with either undistilled evil [Fauci and his beagles] or else unthinking people lapping it up and lining up for clotshots.  Sigh.

I Guess You Don't Need To Be Well-Read To Be A Literary Agent...

...at the height of last year’s Black Lives Matter protests I was sent a list, with accompanying photographs, of the top editors working across the major publishing houses in the UK. When I read it I burst into tears. It showed a sea of almost totally white faces...

So whines Natalie Jerome, who clearly never published any history books, or she'd surely have noticed she's living in a majority white country.

...for years, loud and growing calls to diversify its teams have been pretty much ignored. No wonder the industry today finds itself in a complete mess on race.

Does it? According to whom?  

There is a crippling and toxic silence around everyday racism and how it manifests in the media: erasure, sidelining, stunting of careers, the sheer mental exhaustion of operating daily in a predominantly white space and the routine grind of being marginalised.

Surely there must be countries where you'd feel more at home, then? I'm sure they have publishing houses in Africa, and I've no doubt they don't fret over seeing a sea of black faces around the board table... 

Meanwhile, I’ve observed within publishing the increasing mention and use of “sensitivity readers”. What on earth are they, you might ask.

No, I've no need to - I suspect I already know.  

Essentially a little freelance cottage industry of marginalised folk has sprung up, post-Clanchy, to check that books aren’t racist, disablist or any other -ist before they’re sent to print.

Who is stupid enough to voluntarily employ a group of censors and allow th...

Oh. Of course. 

What this means is that the predominantly white editors commissioning and publishing books featuring characters from diverse backgrounds are now checking these books with readers from these backgrounds in order to ensure publication does not cause accidental offence.

Which is an impossible task, because as soon as they've appeased one group, another will spring up, or the existing groups will move the goalposts. 

It's the fallacy of identity politics, and anyone giving people like this woman and her fellow activists a foot in the door deserves to be held hostage to their demands forever.

More Red Flags Than A F1 Race With Verstappen And Hamilton Neck And Neck...

A man disappeared to have sex with his girlfriend – leaving her three-and-a-half year old son in the bath.

*sighs* Luckily, he didn't drown. 

He admitted neglect by leaving the boy alone in the bathroom but was found not guilty last month of causing him grievous bodily harm.

Eh..? 

The 29-year-old, who we are not naming in order to protect the toddler’s identity, said he’d returned to the bathroom to find the boy had seriously wounded his genitals.

Wait, what..?! 

Mitigating, Paul Prior told the court: “What happened to the boy that day must be set into its proper context. This is not a family which was characterised by domestic violence, for example.

“He was step-father rather than father and he had no experience with children, although he had been left alone with the boy on previous occasions they were rare.”

His client had no previous convictions and ‘impressive’ references. They included a letter from barrister Anthony Trace QC, who described the defendant as a ‘fine young man with a great future ahead of him’.

Never mind any of that, how the hell did the kid end up with a serious injury to his genitals if he was alone? 

Turns out, because he wasn't...

The mum claimed she had gone to her bedroom to check for messages from her own mother, with whom they were due to go on holiday the following day. She left her son in the bathroom with the defendant, she said. The boy, who had finished his bath and was being towelled dry, had said he needed to go to the toilet.

“I heard screaming and shouting coming from the bathroom. I dropped the phone and ran straight back into the bathroom,” she said.

Her boyfriend, who looked ‘shocked’, was rubbing the boy’s back trying to calm him down. 

An accident of the 'he fell on it, officer!' variety? 

Doctors said the boy's injury could not have been self-inflicted.

That jury needs to take a good hard look at itself. And so do social services.  

The making of pariahs to stop the message getting out

Feel free to ignore this, just skip over it.  The key ideas in this post include:

#  Bundling, that propaganda technique whereby one lists three or four desirable goals, such as 'equality, diversity and fairness to trannies in women's sport', bundled in as a 'take it or leave it' package.  The Chinese are masters at it, DJT also uses it - buy American, booming economy, plus operation warp speed.  It's one reason I'm against parties, esp. the Uniparty.

#  The planners among the enemy being those who would undermine the foundations of a society by white-anting bit by bit, as the Germans did in Norway, resulting in people like Quisling, by presenting themselves as largely good, sane, rational leaders but it involves people accepting loss of sovereignty - what do you want, food on the table or this abstract sovereignty nonsense, they demand.

#  Jingoism, whereby a state organ which has shown, by its actions, that it is entirely untrustworthy, e.g. the MSM, which has acted against the people for so long, suddenly reverts to an old winner, e.g. Brexit over Remoanerism and puts up a ra-ra-ra article, come on, chaps, at which we suspend disbelief and want so much to see signs of success that we swallow whatever it is, hook line and sinker.

#  Bias confirmation, that imperative in our minds demanding 'good news for once', any good news at all.

#  Plausible deniability as the opposite aspect of the previous, where the enemy always has alternative, seemingly rational explanations for actions and events, where they rely heavily on people psychologically being unable to handle something, e.g. the beloved leaders just would never do that to us.
