The gainsaying trolls

The tactics used by gainsayers are both simple and far-reaching, comprehensive. There are gameplans they invariably follow.

For example, a genuine pundit calling out miscreants over inconvenient truths gets the marginalisation first.   So Mark Steyn gets shunted off GB News as unpalatable for M25 bubble eyes and ears … they like their “truths” in more respectable form within the three wise monkeys bubble.  Lively debate over an approved, narrow range of topics, everyone happy, boat rockers marginalised.
Private Eye’s anonymous ‘MD’ has written an article in the magazine this week about what’s behind the recent excess deaths and whether the vaccines could be involved. For a mainstream piece on the topic it’s unusually polite and balanced – it refrains from any scoffing or offhand dismissal, though naturally rules out vaccines as unlikely.
I just look at that and shake my head sadly.  For a start … even considering Hislop’s Woke left rag as a “mainstream piece” is risible and reveals all Will Jones’s and Toby Young’s limited range of reality in comfy Greater London.

There’s an organisation called VAERS who have been tabulating adverse reactions, there’ve been undertaker shots of the clots, in a phone call I had with the NHS itself in 2021, she was the one introducing the topic, not me. Our site across the way has been listing these adverse events since 2021, we’ve posted pdfs and reports, even from the Lancet … but in piecemeal form, as and when they’ve arisen.

That’s before we even get o the anecdotal.

For example, just imagine one of these gainsayers had seen the posts by Grandpa on his beloved wife and the treatment she’d had … and then this person swoops in and demands, “Proof?”  Anyone losing an elderly loved one to the Hancock lunacy as well … it’s one thing demanding evidence, quite rightly, at which we say, “Posts passim,” but it’s quite another to ride in on a high horse with zero contrary evidence, demanding, “Proof?” In a weaponised fashion.

Especially with the campaigns of suppression going on, e.g. the same treatment now given to Dr. Simone Gold that was given to Mark Steyn, that was given to James O’Keefe … and what of Julian Assange by the way?  They wait till all mention dies away, then quietly extradite to the very people he exposed.

There’s a quote on a quite different issue, early dating of the bible … no, I’m not bringing religion into it, I’m bringing in shoddy scholasticism which applies right across society, esp. in the judiciary:

Sir Norman Anderson, describing himself as "an academic from another discipline” who has browsed widely in the writings of contemporary theologians and biblical scholars, wrote in Lawyer Among Theologians, Hodder and Stoughton, London, 1973, p15, about the quality of the criticism of the anti-Christian so-called intellectuals:
"At times [I am] astonished by the way in which they handle their evidence, by the presuppositions and a priori convictions with which some of them clearly (and even, on occasion, on their own admission) approach the documents concerned, and by the positively staggering assurance with which they make categorical pronouncements on points which are, on any showing, open to question, and on which equally competent colleagues take a diametrically opposite view."
A perfect example was Brexit when one group of lawyers was quoting English common law and various acts along the way, against EU lawyers who were quoting an entirely different set of acts of their parlmt. There was no middle ground. One lot had might on its side, the realpolitik of 2010, the other was relying on specifically English judicial history.

Broadening this still further, consider those, e.g. on GB news or Gabbard or Hannity, who make all the right noises on things of small consequence, e.g. thundering on about “free speech” or “democracy” as broadly as possible, then quoting dumping Newsmax as a dastardly plot by the PTB … quite ignoring GB News and Steyn or quite ignoring Newsmax’s own censorious style which we’d called out.

It’s a much used tactic, used for example by Breitbart of late … the controlled opposition.  If you want the real opposition at any given time, ferret out the marginalised and mocked, I’d suggest, such as former doctors and nurses who’ve used their names … and then are never heard from again.

It’s no way a zero sum game …

 … forget this rushing into opposed camps at loggerheads, e.g. in JFK in 1963, in which it suddenly became Single Bullet Theory versus collusion.

Will Jones, in the Daily Sceptic mailing this morning, raises more questions than he resolves:

Dr. Engler has argued that “it was the manner in which healthcare was delivered which was relevant to the death rate, not the spread of a virus” and his analysis has been picked up by others. Dr. Jessica Rose has stated that “what has taken place over the past few years is government-assisted termination of our elderly using such tools as the injections themselves, lethal cocktails of respiration depressing drugs upon declaration of ‘Covid positive status’, improper do not resuscitate (DNR) declarations and use and neglect (starvation and dehydration)”.

The crucial words in all of that, indeed in the entire article, are “not the”. It reads as if it’s a zero sum game, an either/or, whereas he himself also quotes:

It’s not based on any single, fallible measure such as PCR testing, but on a host of factors that together build a clear picture.

This post is not specifically about the health thing, as against the climate thing, as against the Ukrainian thing, as against the justice system and so on. I’m looking at this as just one example of the malaise.

For example, were we in a family law court which was deciding on custody and assets, the person presiding is either female or male. Were it to be either a wispy-bearded tree hugger with LBGT leanings … or our Julia … I know which I’d choose straight away for justice and/or fairness.

Which in itself blows open the gender issue, one of my fave topics. No, I’m not arguing that there are more than two biological genders … but I am arguing that there’s more than one factor involved. In A&E with my heart attack, a Spanish lady orderly smiled upon my situation stuck on a trolley, plus the cardio lady was good … I even briefly had a private room … but then the odds took over and my last night before the op was appalling, in the hands of student age nurses never bothering to wander the wards but spending the night shrieking with laughter over whatever was entertaining them in their room.  Someone near me died that night … then they all rushed out, hysterically.

If I’ve rushed to the Anti-Woke label, it’s simply far easier than using left-right, it’s more accurate, easier to focus on the first thing needing to be excised … globo-Wokery … plus it includes former left, former right, plus (genuine) centrists. It’s more useful than using twenty words to describe my stance.  But that doesn’t mean that many issues the Woke latch onto and abuse are not based, originally, on genuine concerns.  They can be.

How does this relate to the health thing? Well it just seems logical to me, personally, to self-isolate, to avoid like the plague medical centres where sickness visits, to avoid supermarkets, to take care of diet and mild exercise, to stay busy, sipping a tonic and lemon concoction now and then, to keep my place reasonably clean (ongoing battle). Without being fanatical about it.

Because health fanaticism, imho, is one of the biggest issues in itself. Nuff for now.

When Is A PC Game Not A PC Game?

Answer - when it's propaganda:
A popular video game series which has an age rating of 12 has been slammed by critics after a recent update allowed for 'top surgery' scars that come from breast removal and chest binders to be added to characters.

*sighs* And of course, not one games journal has done anything but fawn over this.  

Xbox supported the changes for a more inclusive game and said alongside a heart emoji: 'Vadish, we love it!' 'Vadish' also means 'thank you' in 'Simlish,' the made-up language that 'Sims' characters use to communicate. Mashable said it was: 'an exciting addition for transgender and disabled fans.' While gaming website Kotaku praised 'The Sims 4' for reaching out to disabled Simmers.

Is there no last bastion of pure entertainment unsullied by the woke agenda?

Just how will the Prime Minister’s most important Promise work out?

Rishi Sunak made five promises to the electorate, but the one upon which he will be judged is the last one. He said “Fifth, we will pass new laws to stop small boats, making sure that if you come to this country illegally, you are detained and swiftly removed.” The promise, which has certainly defeated all the alleged political expertise of the last four occupants, is certainly possible to achieve, but the promise itself is a typical political ploy, leaving out, as it does, the outstanding and inherently unstable illegal migrant population already present upon these shores. 

The legal problems, partly brought upon by Labour’s importation of Europe’s ‘Human Rights’ laws, added to by the shadowy elephants in the room labelled ‘ECHR’ (European Court of Human Rights) and ECJ ( European Court of Justice), mean that, at the present moment, judges in Brussels can override British legal decisions; such as the barring of deportations of 85 foreign criminals just the other week. 

At present, the loons in the Home Office are placing all our cash on a large bet that they will be told that the Rwanda Deportation idea will be found to be legal. But when anyone views the present regime in Rwanda with a jaundiced eye, it would seem to be deeply flawed. Also remembering that the Rwanda plan also gives Rwanda the right to send THEIR asylum seekers here, in a sort of Swap situation. (this was built in to the Rwanda plan, but given little attention)

Wee Krankie's gone

The ideological incompetent

Sturgeon is a perfect example of a young female ignoramus brainwashed early by marxists or pseudo-marxists ... what can one expect out of Govan?

In the same package are Caroline Flint, Julia Middleton, Joyce Thacker, Cressida Dick, Patricia Dunn of Hewlett Packard, Ardern in NZ, the Qld Premier some time back, Merkel.

There's a slightly different type ... Rebekah Brooks, Carly Fiorina, this Halley person in the US ... ambitious to the point of trampling anyone else, not an ideologue but just as dangerous.

Galloway is a marxist ideologue ... or was ... however, this was interesting from a stalinist:


In that context, his take on Sturgeon is interesting (via the good Ripper):

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JyclLl2GD8E

The damage such fashionable menaces cause is not wholly incalculable ... Galloway calculates it ... but there are the indefinables too, e.g. the effect on society of State Mentoring, i.e. a "named person" Breshneving every kid in Scotland, starting with those from broken homes.

In short, like Ardern, Sturgeon was an utter monster, a stooge for very dangerous ideologues.

What is it with these ridiculous ‘Vigils’?

I could have prophesied, immediately the news began circulating about the murder of a young man who was dressing as a girl, that his ‘friends’ were arranging a vigil to tell everyone about how sad they were, and they were going to be lighting candles, and ‘praying’ for him.

It seems to me that if only one tenth of all this proposed ‘remembrance’ activity had in fact been made to deterring the ‘bullies’ who made this troubled young man’s life a hell on earth, the outcome would, perhaps, have been less of a burden for this young man, who went by the name of Brianna Ghey.

The ONLY stance against bullies of any sort is direct action, possibly physical action; because all bullies are cowards. If the so-called ‘friends’ were even able to make the cowards lie low, it maybe would have made all the difference. All the singing, all the candles, all the ‘prayers’ mumbled, will not make one ha'porth of difference now, because the ‘targeted attack’ with knives carried by another young man and a young girl resulted in the death of the troubled youngster.

The ONLY thing achieved by these ridiculous ‘Vigils’ is a boom in profits of candle manufacturing. We now see these useless ‘vigils’ spreading all across the country, because attending a ‘vigil’ is possible the single thing which will certainly not make the slightest difference to any other attack, knife or otherwise, but will achieve lots of sage head nodding by the liberal left, who just ‘know’ that giving in, or staying silent, is always ‘safer’ than raising your voice, or your fists, in defence of the defenceless!

Enforced Celebration...

A Welsh-speaking school has been put into special measures...

Discipline problems? Pupils failing to read, write, add up? 

...for letting children speak too much English.

*blinks* 

Inspectors found many of the 331 pupils at the primary 'turn to English naturally' when chatting and were not given enough chances to 'celebrate their Welshness'.

There's an '...or else!' hanging there, isn't there? Think about what they are actually saying - they want to force the children to do something unnatural. 

Their report said: 'The quality of teaching is inconsistent.
'At times, work that is incorrect is marked as being correct and given positive comments.'

What happened to 'all must have prizes'..? Doesn't that translate well into Welsh? 

The school will be checked every four to six months and given areas to improve. Penarth consistently appears in lists of Britain's best places to live and is sought after for its seaside charm as well as its proximity to Cardiff.

I wonder how long that will continue?

The Answer to the Abortion promise of an Empty Womb.

Early in January, I commented, favourably, on the stance taken by some Twenty Republican House Representatives; which ended the tyrannical rule of the poisonous Pelosi, and which, eventually, brought about major change to the powers, and the actions, of the new Speaker of Congress’ House. Further actions and responses indicate that America has a slim chance to begin healing. 

But I also reported, happily, on an idea, an installation, which echoes the best of America. It is, and was, conceived with a tiny leavening of genius, to go into the mind of a usually, ill-educated, more than likely to be, but not exclusively, black young woman who has become pregnant without truly understanding how that conception had come about. 

Through the mass-marketing and grossly over-targeted adverts in both the MSM, and Online for such grisly organisations as the deceitfully named Planned Parenthood abortion mills, thousands of those foolish females walk through the ‘Parenthood’ doors, and onwards to the ‘killing floors’; where much of the Foetal Tissue remains of their aborted offspring are cleansed, sorted and stored before being sold onwards for ‘knowledge’, for ‘research’: but always for ‘Profit’.

But, fortunately, many young expectant, and possibly unwilling, mothers have seen through the lies and the easy words which promise an ending without pain or trauma to the unborn baby in their womb; knowing that in their own minds that truth which tells them that ‘killing babies is wrong’, and decide to proceed towards that birth, more than likely without access from financial support of the father of that foetus, and possibly without the support of a wider family network.

So we come to that ‘tiny leavening of genius’, which is the Safe Haven Baby Box. Safe Haven Baby Boxes founder and CEO Monica Kelsey said she came up with the idea for Safe Haven Baby Boxes “because officials were still finding dead, abandoned babies despite states having a Safe Haven law, allowing mothers to surrender newborns to hospitals and fire stations,” 
Firefighters in Bowling Green, Kentucky, last week found the first baby placed into their Safe Haven Baby Box, which was just installed in December. WBKO reported that an infant was left in the Safe Haven Baby Box at the Bowling Green Fire Department (BGFD)  station on Lovers Lane. 

The firefighters retrieved the child just a minute and a half after the box was used, WNKY noted. Monika Kelsey, held a press conference. Addressing the parents of the baby, she thanked the parents for looking out for the best interests of their child, per WNKY:

“Thank you for doing what you felt you could for the life of this child,” said Kelsey. “This baby is healthy. This baby is beautiful. This baby is perfect. And the Department of Child Services is now looking for a forever home for this family… If this parent is out there and they want the resources of counselling or medical care, it is available for you at no cost.”

So here’s to the onward march of the Safe Haven Baby Boxes. There should be one in every County, more in every American City. Let’s hope that the murder machines such as the deceitfully named Planned Parenthood abortion mills lose further income as the Supreme Court’s decision gave the right to decide upon Abortion back to the individual States, loose ever more ‘clients’ as such ideas like the ‘Baby Box’ gain more ground in the minds of America.
And while we are indeed talking about Abortion, which has risen, disgracefully in my opinion, to Abortion upon Demand within these once ‘Sceptered Isles’ why don’t we see a Brit. Safe Baby Box programme within this once-United Kingdom?

Yeah right, complete coincidence

Yes, It Is Broken, You're Right There...

One Eritrean asylum seeker who reluctantly agreed to move from the Greenwich hotel to the one in Bedfordshire, and did not join in with the protest, said he was distraught about the enforced move but felt he had no choice but to go.
“We came to the UK looking for freedom but the reality is not like that. I’ve lost my friends, my community, my college with this move. I’ve lost everything. The system is broken.”

A system that houses asylum seekers who come in illegally from safe countries, in the most expensive part of the country, and allows their claims to drag on for so long they put down roots, all at the expense of the poor bloody taxpayer, is irretrievably broken. 

When is someone going to fix it?
