The suppressed story often speaks differently

This post is on a hiding to nothing, simply because there are quite strong emotions involved and two diametrically opposed sides. I'm quite cognisant of Julia's libertarian views on speech and I concur ... but the only thing which would happen today is an all out slanging match where both sides would come in with their organised selection of incidents and slant ... ne'er the twain will meet ... utterly pointless, given the purpose of the post.

Which is this ... it's not a debate, it is just me presenting from material supplied by both pro Russian and my Ukro mate, material I'd say not many would have seen.  As for my stance ... it's part of my overall stance that a nation has every right to defend itself from neighbours when its real enemies have gone into that neighbouring nation and put in missile silos, a string of biochemical and anthrax labs, where that foreign power has installed and bolstered a puppet clown leader ... and all the rest of it.  Where that neighbour dumps boatloads of the unwanted in British waters.

The UN in Darfur, the USSR during the Cuban missile crisis, Argentina claiming something quite bollox about sovereignty over the Falklands … Argentina never existed when this all happened ... obviously Russia and the Ukraine ... and so many more.  Even Israel and daily rocket attacks from Philistine (sic) territory (Gaza).

In no way does my stance exonerate that big nation, not in the least ... violations abound, they need addressing ... but a nation, any nation, does have the right to defend itself, that's if you believe in "nations" per se and their peoples.  As I say, I'm not interested in debating something where one side - globo and its MSM - present one narrative only.  Here's something from the suppressed side for once - not a "view" but what did occur.

Consider this map:

For readers

The sharp-eyed among you would expect a post from Julia this morning but it seems there are currently tech issues in Ambush Predator land, although she's still overseeing the blog from her phone (moderating).  We wish her PC the very best of health and also herself ... I also know she's under pressure in various ways just now.

Julia usually leads Monday, Wednesday, Friday and I tend to post Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday ... it's not that there are not enough issues ... a glance at our blog across the way shows there's no shortage of current issues ... it's just that we're loathe to alter the format.  We also have Grandpa doing the occasional but no one knows when those will appear. :)

My post will appear tomorrow as usual, all being well, Julia's asap.

Just who are these psychotic criminals ordering us about?

To this, let me add, from Sunpak’s controller:

And this from a social media watcher:

You see, there comes a point where we can no longer hide the head, unless we want it chopped off.

We're being betrayed by what's supposed to be our own side.

 Firstly, Kathy Barnette sums it up

Kathy Barnette is the lady who went full-on MAGA but Trump decided to endorse RINO Oz, himself eventually cheated on by the vegetable's Demonrat minders.  

She writes:

The same sex abomination

50 Republican scumbags voted with the Demonrats in the House to push same sex "marriage", despite such a thing being an impossibility.

It went to the Senate and this just happened:

Here are the Republicans who voted with the Democrats: : Roy Blunt-Missouri; Richard Burr-North Carolina; Shelley Moore Capito-West Virginia; Joni Ernst-Iowa; Cynthia Lummis-Wyoming; Lisa Murkowski-Alaska; Rob Portman-Ohio; Dan Sullivan-Alaska; Mitt Romney-Utah; Thom Tillis-North Carolina; and Todd Young-Indiana. Burr, Blunt and Portman are retiring.

Now there is a crucial point being missed here

Though the Demonrats and RINOs are evil muvvers, they're known-knowns and though they should be executed, yes, that needs to be later down the track.  Something else far worse is happening.

Most Republicans voted in McCarthy as House Leader.  McConnell was voted back in by secret ballot.  There were Republicans who did that.

Secret ballot, just think about that.  That included MAGAs.

Betrayal BY MAGAs, not of MAGAs

We're not meant to notice.

MTG, who previously sent cheques to McCarthy, the RINO, was one who voted for him in to be house leader.  (She's also currently being divorced but that's another story.  So she betrayed Lake, Boebert, all the others cheated out of their seats.

Steve Bannon just did a Rumble in which he tells everyone just to accept the losses ... they happened, just forget about it. He goes into deep depression and wants his viewers to as well.

He then interviews MTG, who sent cheques to McCarthy and voted for him, onto his programme and she bangs on about all the OTHER things ... but NOT on her betrayal of her voters by backing McCarthy.  And Bannon never asks. 

Readers, this is BIZARRE, even while Kari Lake is assembling a legal team to FIGHT it.  Does Bannon help?  Does Trump?  Does anyone help her?

Let me restate it.  Kari Lake is TAKING ACTION.  Meanwhile, Trump is listing all his achievements to his fans, Bannon is saying tut tut, have a rant on video, MTG, show em your MAGA credentials as I am.

Do you see what is so wrong here?  Eternal victims, never taking any action whatever.

Meanwhile, in Brazil, millions are MARCHING, their bank accounts threatened by the Supreme Court.  In America and here?  Just a whimper, a "woe is us".

You can depend upon the Muslims…..to say exactly the Wrong thing at the Wrong time!

As far back as 2010, when the totally corrupt criminals who headed FIFA handed QATAR, one of the wealthiest Arab States in the world, the 2022 World Cup, I sat back and prepared, even planned for a really good laugh when this bunch of royal despots’ plans came to fruition. 

The possibilities of corruption upon an industrial scale were widely exposed and realised: mainly because ALL Muslims accept that bribery and corruption are acceptable, and are indeed slightly puzzled by Western ideals that bribery is just unacceptable in both public and private life.

I worked alongside two Muslim civil engineers on a construction site; two men whose education and knowledge of their jobs was superb: but both men saw absolutely nothing wrong with paying or indeed accepting a bribe. Escalate that skein of thought to a Nation State; and I believe that is how Qatar won the right to stage the highest event in the world of professional Football. 

Immediately upon receipt of the Award news, the Qatar bandits threw their first verbal hand grenade Into the works by declaring that maybe some commentators were maybe right, and having all of the world’s best players going down with heatstroke upon Arrival in Qatar, never mind playing several matches in heat measuring 45 degrees Centigrade, wasn’t the best plan in the world, and could FIFA move the World Cup games to be played in the Qatar winter, where it is only 30 Degrees C. in the evening?

So FIFA, Sepp Blatter and all his corrupt colleagues, who had taken the Qatari gold, found themselves having to go to the FIFA membership, and murmuring that the Committee had unfortunately forgotten that Qatar is a DESERT country, extremely hot, and would they excuse this oversight, break up the traditional winter schedules for some 100-odd national teams, and set them down in the bloody desert because the wogs are building the stadia, the hotels, and everything else.

But fast forwards to 2022, FIFA were almost relaxing, with all the roadblocks moved away, everything seems fine, the teams are arriving: yes there are a few murmurs about the ban on homosexuals, but nobody’s going to go home over the way a bunch of shirt-lifters is treated, and then the bloody Qatari Royal Family gets the word, a bit late in the day, that FIFA has signed a multi-million dollar contract with Sponsor Budweiser, to sell BEER in humoungous quantities, at all seven arenas! 

AND THEY GET THE BEER BANNED!

Cow Wars!

Almost 20 years ago, hundreds of furious New Zealand farmers jumped into their tractors, farm bikes and trucks and ploughed up Wellington’s main street towards parliament to kick up a stink against the so-called “fart tax” – a levy on livestock methane gases, proposed by the then-Labour government to reduce emissions.

A cow named Energy was led up the building’s granite steps and left an unwelcome mess in her wake. In doing so, she provided the opposition movement with a powerful, if indelicate, visual metaphor: rural New Zealand was ready for a mudslinging match with the capital.

Just months later, the government abandoned the tax.

That was then. And the government bided its time: 

But last month – 19 years after Energy’s memorable performance – the current Labour-government proposed a not-too-dissimilar plan to the ill-fated “fart tax”, with a crucial difference: it had been broadly created by farmers themselves. 

All the farmers? Well, maybe not: 

“As everyone knows, the farming lobby is one of the strongest,” says Dr Adrian Macey, an adjunct professor in climate change research at Victoria University of Wellington and senior associate at the Institute for Governance and Policy Studies. But there is growing division within the sector, he says – those who are “ready to be part of the solution”, and those who feel “very oppressed by not only climate change measures but all government regulation”.

Who can blame them? 

Macey says the plan could pave the way for other countries to follow suit. “[New Zealand] is probably the first country to set a hard target on agricultural methane and the first country to put a levy on it,” he said. “We’re showing world leadership on what you can do with the sector – no one has gone there before us.”

Don't mind if we all just sit back and watch to see what happens, then, Adrian? 

Home and away

Home

UK Refugee Council demands British lawmakers NOT disclose names of migrant hotels to general public, citing safety concerns for the (the) invaders. The charity’s call for anonymity regarding where new arrivals are situated raises concerns over public safety after a number of crimes and rapes involving asylum seekers.

It is understood that the charity’s chief executive, Enver Solomon, wrote to the House of Commons Speaker Sir Lindsay Hoyle, expressing “serious concerns” over the safety of those arriving in small boats across the English Channel.

Away

In a study of 12 face masks, every mask contained titanium dioxide (TiO2) particles in at least one layer, at levels that “exceeded the acceptable exposure level.” The International Agency for Research on Cancer classifies titanium dioxide as a Group 2B carcinogen, which means it’s “possibly carcinogenic to humans” by inhalation.

What Happened To Scathing Reviews?

Martin Kettle in 'The Guardian':

There is nothing wrong in principle with protesting at the opera. I’ve very occasionally booed shows I hated, and I want to be free to do so again if I choose.

Why..? You've a column in the 'Guardian' to rip it to shreds the next morning, why ruin everyone else's enjoyment? 

Booing and whistling at the opera or theatre can sometimes be healthy and necessary protest.

Really? I'm not an opera goer, so it never even crossed my mind that this might be a thing. I've been to theatre performances I thought were rubbish, but I just left before the end... 

What happened at Covent Garden on Tuesday evening, however, wasn’t booing but heckling.

Oh, really? Trust a 'Guardian' writer to be able to draw a distinction... 

The target was Malakai M Bayoh, a 12-year-old boy soprano...

That's not the most stand-out thing, though, is it, Martin? 

I’d add for the record that, as far as I could tell, the heckling was not racist (Bayoh is a black boy from south London), although it may have been.

Maybe the chap should be given his own column in the paper to tell us why he did it? 

But there is a wider issue to consider here. Expressing one’s dissent against a production or a performance is often unattractive and sometimes (as here) unmerited. But it can have its place. Not always, but sometimes. It’s a tricky line to draw and to police. But I hope theatres do not start making it a requirement of attendance not to boo or protest, let alone make booing punishable by a lifetime ban.

"If I do it, it's necessary and needful. If you do it, it's wrong!" That ought to be the 'Guardian's' new strapline. 

This sceptr'd isle

... this seat of Mars, this other Eden, demi-paradise, this fortress built by Nature for her self ... that was wont to conquer others, hath made a shameful conquest of itself.

An occasional post through our eyes on this island.  These were in the inbox this morning:

Where to start?  I started here, replying to Laura Perrins:

It might be an idea, Laura, to spare a thought as well for little boys, having their crown jewels cut off.  Best not to narrowly focus too much on just the one gender, horrifying though it is and requiring all to cry out about it.  Both genders though are facing this from "parents" who've taken leave of their senses and have embraced sheer evil.

Obviously, looking at Westminster, and no one sane being able to vote for the LibLabTory uniparty, nor the Green Marxists ... the only other choice is Tice's lot, should one even be inclined to vote any more.

With the best will in the world, Tice hardly inspires.  Everyone in the country knows who it must be.

April 1st Gets Earlier Every Year...

I mean, this must be an April Fool? Surely?

Assistant Commissioner Matt Jukes, the Metropolitan Police's new 'HeForShe Gender Equality Lead'...

Wait, what? That's a genuine post? FFS! 

...wore the 'Menovest' garment in a meeting to mark Menopause Awareness Month.

Couldn't he just mark it without a stunt? 

For instance, by getting his PA to write something cobbled together off Internet articles, like normal people who want to get shot of this pointless task so they can get on with real work? 

... as the heat came to him in 'waves' while he attended the force's Environment and Sustainability Board, he had a feeling of 'Oh no, not now' and 'an anticipation before really losing my train of thought'.

I think that particular train left the station a long, long time ago... 

Mr Jukes' Menovest experience was headline news on the Met's intranet this week.

And if they have a Yammer network, I bet it was humming...
