Start of school and Beslan remembered

In many countries, esp. the former Soviet, this is the day on which children return to school.  In Russia, it’s a time they dress in their finest, the stop at the flower shop to buy for teacher is widespread, many where black shorts/skirt, white top, girls with ribbons in their hair.

Usually, the ceremony is on the outside flagstones, children and parents in a large U shape.  There’s even excitement at lessons ahead.  Except in Beslan in 2004 … this was last years’:

Net Zero exposed as the Pipe-Dream it always was.

Combined Cycle Gas Turbines produced 49% of GB&NI’s Electricity Yesterday

This meter can be checked at this website, which shows all of GB&NI’s Electricity Generation and needs.

CCGT is a complex mix of a Gas Turbine generating electricity by turning a huge Alternator, then using the waste heat to boil water producing superheated steam, which then turns a steam turbine which connects to another Alternator producing even more Electricity.

This shows how dependant GB&NI really is on Gas as its primary reliable source of Generated Power. The question which must be asked, and answered by both Bloody Boris, and his talking puppet Alok Sharma, is this: “Did either of you view this webpage, and the CCGT metering, have it explained by an expert who understands the whole process of Generating Electricity: before going on to promise in COP26; that you would remove all fossil fuels from the Generating Mix long before 2050; on the way towards your suicidal path towards ‘effing Net Zero?’

Don't Blame The Tech, Blame The Idiots Working It...

The man, only identified as Mark by the New York Times, took pictures of his son’s groin to send to a doctor after realizing it was inflamed. The doctor used that image to diagnose Mark’s son and prescribe antibiotics. When the photos were automatically uploaded to the cloud, Google’s system identified them as CSAM.

As the system is programmed to do. But it's OK, because humans are in ch... 

Two days later, Mark’s Gmail and other Google accounts, including Google Fi, which provides his phone service, were disabled over “harmful content” that was “a severe violation of the company’s policies and might be illegal”, the Times reported, citing a message on his phone.

He later found out that Google had flagged another video he had on his phone and that the San Francisco police department opened an investigation into him.

Oh.

Mark was cleared of any criminal wrongdoing, but Google has said it will stand by its decision.

Wait, what..?!? 

“We follow US law in defining what constitutes CSAM and use a combination of hash matching technology and artificial intelligence to identify it and remove it from our platforms,” said Christa Muldoon, a Google spokesperson.

And when that proves to be in error, you...refuse to acknowledge it? 

“These systems can cause real problems for people,” he said. “And it’s not just that I don’t think that these systems can catch every case of child abuse, it’s that they have really terrible consequences in terms of false positives for people. People’s lives can be really upended by the machinery and the humans in the loop simply making a bad decision because they don’t have any reason to try to fix it.”

They need to be given one, then. Perhaps by passing a law that says if your software makes an error and you don't resolve it to the customer's satisfaction, you face huge, swinging fines?  

Give Pakistan cash for Flood Repair? Nope: Not a Plugged Nickel

No-go area ‘irregulars’

‘We’ can’t, as a nation, solve other nation’s probs for them, except to lead by example.  The global cabal run west can’t keep feeding the Ukraine weaponry in order to prop up a puppet clown in his murderous policies.

Other countries are other countries and yet this came through this morning from a regional French language paper:

https://www.fdesouche.com/2022/08/29/allah-akbar-houcine-g-26-ans-est-un-algerien-en-situation-irreguliere-fiche-s-pour-radicalisation-lance-des-projectiles-sur-un-metro-a-paris-18e/

Irreguliere?  Really?  A rare occurrence, like no go areas and Charlie Hebdo?  Who is putting these ideas into their heads?  Well the peer group … yes.  From the culture, the death cult.  This is not in the least about oppression, is it, as with the black culture in the States, it’s about sending warriors en masse across channels, through other countries.

But from where do they get this idea?  From Harold the Clever Sheep, nesting in the trees?  Nope, it’s from their version of the Druids, is it not?  At their version of the Synagogue.  Then reinforced in the ghetto, now called the No Go area, where lily-livered Plod dare not venture in their own land.

Now, were you interested, scroll back through our posts to the last time I mentioned this issue as a main post.  You’ll be scrolling a long time.  What about at t’other place I write?  You’ll find the same.

Message in that?  It’s hardly my first priority issue to devote an entire blogpost to, unlike, say, the deathjab.  But does that mean I should not address it at all, that you should not?  It’s perfectly normal, this stoning and stabbing culture, is it?  We should all feel perfectly safe going for a quiet wander, unarmed?

Lest I forget … why the ‘we’ in inverted commas?  Because ‘we the people’ are hardly the ones directing policy in our lands, are we?

This farcical parachuting

… and other abuses of the system.

At the macro level in Britain, the farce of the CP or Tory “leadership” election has illustrated a few home truths:

https://www.conservativewoman.co.uk/the-challenge-facing-the-new-leader-for-britain-is-existential/

One concerns the utter dearth of talent … so it’s either vote in these lily-livered CINOs or else go the full horror of Labour and then it’s electronic ankle bracelet MPs or Momentum who drove Kate Hoey out of the party.  Starmer?  You have got to be seriously kidding.

Now to the micro level and a completely hypothetical small election within a small group, illustrating that though the procedures initially put in place are important … of course they are … far more important is the political will to respect what was agreed.  

Perfect illustration [back at the macro level] is America today when large numbers at every level and on both sides are perfectly happy to ride roughshod over what had been in place for so long.

Or to put it another way … the long march through the institutions is proceeding, with agents in thrall to special interests ignoring, say, the Constitution at the bidding of their sponsors, their controllers, in order to wreck the procedures themselves and create societal chaos. A perfect example is this:

https://rumble.com/v1h7ayl-special-interview-with-ivan-raiklin-the-pence-card-and-the-moment-of-truth.html

… which showed in detail, if you had the patience to wade through it, that two amendments ridden over on Jan 5/6 were the 5th and 12th, whilst at the same time trying to impose the 25th, section 4, without telling anyone.  

That is precisely the abuse we’re speaking of over here as well.  We’ve seen all sorts of abuses in a less visible way, from the expenses scandal [remember the chipmunk?] to the night of the GE  in South Thanet when the boxes were to be unsealed at 2 a.m. and yet the Tory headkicker was able to announce, accurately, at 11 p.m. [the other side of midnight], that Farage was going to lose by a substantial margin.

Sometimes, it’s not even abuses which wreck the procedure but the inevitable result of polling.  If, for example, a local knitting group, hypothetically, were to hold a poll on a new member … lets say there was a round dozen in the group.  Let’s say five respond to the form mail, of whom three are fine with it and two not.  The problem is that overall, only three from twelve have instated that new person.

The alternative is a nightmare … wait eight weeks, as in the Truss/Sunpak farce, insisting on a quorum?  Which of course you’ll preventby various tricks behind the scenes? Who’s at fault there?  Well members of course, for being so slack, for not understanding, for not even caring.

Unless of course there’s a system in place where silence confers assent, as in no objection, whilst an articulated objection counts heavily.

And coming back to national politics again, let’s say one party got 58%, a pretty substantial majority, almost a landslide in fact, yet only 43% voted overall in the country, many of the 57% refraining out of disgust or disinterest.  What is the fairest thing to do there?  

Well have a referendum, no?

Only to offer two of the possible alternatives, when in fact there is also proportional as a variant?  

What then of the Australian compulsory, preferential voting, on pain of large fines, and a system which ends up producing a two party fightout at the end of every vote … red versus blue as always?  It’s called preferential voting down there, where you mark the card 1, 2, 3, 4 … down to the last candidate.  Miss one number and your vote is informal, go 1 2 3 4 down the card, called the donkey vote, appropriate in America that would be … and that seems fine with the EC.

And what of a bunch of MPs and those who control them from the shadows afterwards completely ignoring the theatre and doing exactly as they wish for five more years?  Such as with the egregious HS2 nobody wants.

The Sheer Lunacy of that Lockdown

 

I would add the page copied from the Sunday Times of 17th May 2020, as I feel

Do You Need More Proof That Drag Is Narcissism Writ Large?

I was being mercilessly bullied at school, and it was obvious to even the ants that crawled the pavements that I was gay as hell, which also happened to be my Iraqi parents’ worst nightmare. Home was a cosseted environment where any kind of genuine self-expression was policed.But the rainbow fish were almost defiant in their flamboyance.

I was hypnotised by their ethereal, kaleidoscopic forms that seemed to reject the conformity of the world I was desperately trying to fit into. Strange, undefinable creatures that moved through the sand and the water as if constantly in the process of becoming – I was transfixed.

Understandable. Aquariums have a power to soothe the soul, but they can't work miracles. Of course, most people buy them because they want the challenge and pleasure of keeping alive and happy these exotic pets.  

Instead of feeling solace, irrationally, I felt anger that my marine companions couldn’t understand what I was going through. I scanned the tank and tried to grab the attention of a pair of clownfish. But they were swimming along happily together – just another couple who had found love – and suddenly the tank made me feel lonelier than ever.

Because everything's about you... 

Shortly afterwards, I quit my job at the marine shop and developed a complete aversion to my fish tank, barely able to look at it without the temptation to smash the glass. I couldn’t even bring myself to turn on its lights.

One night, I saw that all my fish and coral were floating rigid on the surface. It was the final confirmation I needed – the tank no longer served me, and couldn’t be the heal-all balm I needed it to be.

So this twisted individual let his expensive pets die and now has a 'Guardian' column to boast about it? It's enough to make you vomit...

Early morning surfing

Just saw this at Guido's:

Kemi Badenoch's husband is Deutsche Bank's Global Head of Making Resets Great (very slightly paraphrased). You don't see that mentioned much either.

Wife influence?  Hubby influence?  Princess Nut Nut with Boris. At my other place, I’ve been looking at Casey DeSantis, the power behind his throne.

By the way:

According to the Daily Express newspaper, the influential European Research Group (ERG), whose block vote helped Liz Truss get to the final two, are pushing for the 71 year old Berkshire MP [Redwood] to be appointed to the role. Liz Truss herself is said to favour Boris Johnson loyalist Thérese Coffey who is the Secretary of State at the Department for Work and Pensions, and who would be the first ever female Chancellor.

A globalist-eye view of Truss:
