Hastings 1066 ... not a good day for the English

Quick word to Orphans readers ... Julia's next is down for tomorrow morning ... I was going to run the 4Chan issue which comes to a head soon with Starmer's online safety bint ... we're assuming readers will just go VPN ... plus 4Chan have not the slightest intention of paying a UK imposed fine.

Meanwhile, today, this is two days late I'm afraid.  This is from The English Remnant Trad England, on X:

"The Silvatici were the last Anglo-Saxon freedom fighters who refused to submit to Norman rule after 1066. The name comes from the Latin silvaticus, meaning “of the woods” - the Normans’ way of describing the English who retreated into forests and wild country to continue the fight. After the Battle of Hastings, William the Conqueror seized the throne, but many Englishmen would not yield. They took to the forests, hills, and fens - living rough, striking from the shadows, and vanishing into the wild. These men were the Silvatici - forest-dwellers and outlaws, but patriots in the truest sense. They came from all walks of English society: dispossessed thegns, soldiers, and common men who would not swear loyalty to a foreign king. They saw themselves as the last defenders of their land, law, and blood. Eadric the Wild (Eadric Silvaticus) was a proud Anglo-Saxon noble from the borderlands whose resistance began soon after Hastings. He led raids on Norman outposts and fought fiercely for years, earning his name as a man of the woods. Hereward the Wake, the best-known of the Silvatici, led the resistance based around Ely. He and his followers turned the marshes and forests into a fortress, waging guerrilla war against the Normans long after others had surrendered. The Silvatici fought with ambushes, sudden attacks, and sabotage. They struck quickly at Norman garrisons, tax convoys, and collaborators, disappearing again into the woods. They lived off the land, using England’s forests and fens as their shield - sleeping under trees, eating what they could hunt, and surviving on courage, cunning, and loyalty to their kin. By the early 1070s, Norman rule had crushed most open rebellion. Yet the Silvatici lived on in English memory - the last free men of England, who chose hardship over submission. Their defiance became the seed of the later English outlaw tradition: men who lived in the greenwood and resisted tyranny. They were not mere bandits, but warriors of the old Anglo-Saxon realm - the wild men of the woods who kept England’s spirit alive when its crown had been taken. Though their names faded from record, the Silvatici embodied the unbroken will of the English - free men who would rather live wild in their own land than kneel to a foreign crown. Their spirit still whispers through England’s woods, where freedom once took refuge among the trees. There blood is in our veins."

Our Steve, across the way at Unherdables, also wrote:

"Not a good day for Harold – not a good day for England either. The bloodshed did not stop with the Battle of Hastings..

“I have persecuted the natives of England beyond all reason. Whether gentle or simple I have cruelly oppressed them; many I unjustly disinherited; innumerable multitudes perished through me by famine or the sword…I fell on the English of the northern shires like a ravening lion. I commanded their houses and corn, with all their implements and chattels, to be burnt without distinction, and great herds of cattle and beasts of burden to be butchered whenever they are found. In this way I took revenge on multitudes of both sexes by subjecting them to the calamity of a cruel famine, and so became a barbarous murderer of many thousands, both young and old, of that fine race of people. Having gained the throne of that kingdom by so many crimes I dare not leave it to anyone but God."

– William’s death bed confession according to Ordericus Vitalis AD 1130."

Something to bear in mind as we face the greatest threat since Gitler, certainly Napoleon. And still around a half of us are oblivious the the extant threat, called haters and far right, instead of steadfast and loyal.

Opening salvo in this digital ID bollox

Just saw this on X as an early example of govt putting every citizen under complete control ... the "free" enterprise world:

Got Anything To Say Now, Sarah?

 An attempt to set a mosque alight, caught on security camera, brought out all the empty-headed virtue signallers, like the local MP:

However, it now transpires the mosque was in debt to the tune of £260K and so rumours are spiralling that this was an insurance job. Not helped by the fact cops have so far arrested and bailed five people who they are refusing to name. Why is yhis significant? Well....

Meanwhile in Kettering, another 'far right arson atrocity' turns out to be another false flag.

A 43-year-old man charged with an attempted arson attack on a mosque owned by Kettering Muslim Association has appeared in court. Yesterday, (Tuesday, October 7) Arif Ali Rafiq of Harlestone Road, Northampton, appeared at Northampton Magistrates Court.In line with new guidance, Mr Rafiq’s ethnicity was given out by Northants Police as a ‘British-born Asian man’.

The fear of a 'far right backlash' is heralded by the useful idiots as always just on the cusp of arriving, like a bus. And when it gets here, it turns out to be a milk float rather than a bus. 

The issue of faux accounts and bad players

By faux accounts, I mean they’re not who they say … Elon, his mother, son, Barron, Rubio, Vivek. In some cases, it’s not hostile, it can just be to get money from you but as Wendy said … it can be to steal digital wallets.

They CAN Be Quick When They Want To...

 A constant complaint of police accounts on Twitter is that the IOPC take ages to reach a conclusion, and the pressure this puts officers under, in some cases leading to suicide. 

Well, not always:

Police officers who accidentally shot and killed a cancer survivor in the Manchester synagogue attack will face no charges of misconduct. Adrian Daulby, 53, was hit by a stray bullet at the Heaton Park Hebrew Congregation in Crumpsall last Thursday morning. He was among those bravely attempting to keep the doors of the worship centre closed during Syrian-born Jihad Al-Shamie's, 35, deadly rampage.

My, that was a speedy investigation, wasn't it, Reader? Am I the only one to find it suspiciously quick?. 

The police conduct investigation looked into the injuries of two men, both inside the synagogue at the time, who appeared to have been injured when officers fired their weapons.Welcoming the IOPC's finding, Sir Stephen Watson, Chief Constable, Greater Manchester Police said the force had been 'inundated with messages of thanks and support for the actions that our brave officers took to prevent further harm to our Jewish community'.

They killed the same number of people as the terrorist. Just think on that.

Sir Stephen pledged to work with the IOPC on previous complaints of rape and harassment it has received against Al-Shamie. The IOPC said its finding would remain 'under review' as its investigation continues.

Welcome to Britain, were an allegation of rape sees you given bail, while the really dangerous suspected criminals are banged up on remand! 

Oh, and they didn't just shoot one innocent person - they shot two, and it's pure luck he wasn't killed too.

Another man, Yoni Finlay was also reportedly shot while trying to barricade the door, according to his family. The 35-year-old was hit in the chest and is now recovering after having undergone major surgery last night, his 15-year-old son, Uriel, said. Speaking to ITV News, the teenager - who was at home asleep during the terror attack - said: 'I spoke to Rabbi Walker, he told me that he and my dad barricaded the doors with a couple of other people and, in the process of the armed police shooting the terrorist, one of the bullets hit my dad in the chest 

'He was shot accidentally by a bullet that went through the door.'

That 'when seconds count, the police are minute away' can be put into perspective now...as can the assurances that they are 'highly trained and competent professional marksmen' 

Enoch said

The tweeter who put this below up on X I'll have to go searching for to attribute. Just grabbed the text on the run and here it is, from Enoch P, way back when.

Has Kate gone Woke?

The dissemination of information is becoming more and more difficult for us pundits due to censorship, shadow banning, removing of data sensitive to the PTB's case plus, in the UK, laws against those telling the truth ... that was one of the key factors in the Sep 13 London march.

Julia is wise to take a topic at a time and thoroughly address it in her own way, with limited time as she works mainly away from home. I operate from home and have more time to be prolific on a range of issues current at that time ... but health/sleep also comes into it, getting enough breaktime etc.

One really difficult part of info gathering is it's so fragmented ... one of the reasons also behind digital ID ... and we can gather maybe six or seven snippets but along come three more which significantly question where the first six were headed ... this is pure Sherlock Holmes. And diving down rabbit holes is not for everyone.

Then we get to the manner of reporting. Ignoring the faux MSM, there are two main ways after 140 character soc-med tweets or grabs ... for any in depth, it's either blog or vlog.  No prizes for which I use more, quite frustrated at the way vloggers seeking monetisation for droning on and on, padding out to sometimes forty minutes or more, when all we needed were "the facts, ma'am".

Thus, in the latest Grifty on the young Royals, even the first few minutes were a horror story of Woke framing ... Grifty herself is ok but she was soon into Kate aligning with global institutions to reshape the royal image, wellness, various other pure Wokerati terms dreamed up by the Fabians ... you know, equality and diversity, gate crime, racism, this phobia or that.  Horrifying to think Kate is succumbing to Woke faux politics, as she'd been relatively aloof up till then.

This was Grifty's vlog on it (h/t Toodles at UHC across the way)

"Shaping" and "Transforming", using the participle form that way, a la corporations and Obama, is a key strategy of the globofabian SpAds.  Kate also wrote: "The power of human connection in a distracted world" ... vague bollox like that always disguises the nasties inside and who is she planning teaching it to?  Yes, kiddies  ... think you're getting the idea. Nasty.

Kate did not write it alone. Grifty said she "collaborated with" a Harvard professor, meaning he shadow wrote it.  And what does he do at university? Explores happiness and relationships in a god-free way, with lots of "wellness" (a key framing weasel word), neuroscience, as in "well formed outcomes" and NLP.

And what is Kate being used to sell?  "From tradition and faith to Science, Wellness and Global Partnership" ... I would only need to explain any more to the already Woke brainwashed or normies who've not hitherto thought much about any of this claptrap ... same old same old fabianism and feminazism, straight from the WEF and EU playbook.

Kate, the least unpopular royal, tutored by an east coast US American professor.

Obviously there is to be backlash and as always, the Christian writers are straight onto it.

Just clicked in to double check and he's saying "if you want to pull down western civilisation" ... so again, you can predict what he'll say about substituting a flawed, destructive ideology for the trad code of western living.

There's nothing new in any of this ... what's new is Kate being coopted to push it.

End of post. However, below the line is the reason I deleted two recent comments which were well iut of order for different reasons ... same two people every time.

......

Whoa!  Not quite end of post ... just saw this seconds ago:

Uh huh.

But There Aren’t Enough ‘People Who Value Authenticity And Are Willing To Pay For It’

More recently, Wedgwood’s challenges have mirrored those of British manufacturing. The business boomed in the mid 20th century, and by 1986 it employed about 12,000 people worldwide. Many were based in Stoke-on-Trent, where Wedgwood’s “paintresses” trained young apprentices to create curling floral designs. Today, Staffordshire’s potteries face an existential crisis. Four ceramics firms have gone bust or shifted production overseas in the last two years. Last week, the Fiskars Group, Wedgwood’s parent company, announced that it was pausing production for 90 days, putting 70 workers on temporary leave.

The world has changed, and businesses that can't change will go to the wall.  

Fiskars has said that this is merely a “short-term measure” caused by a lull in demand. But Wedgwood’s challenges are longstanding. As Tristram Hunt noted in his 2021 biography of Josiah Wedgwood, executives began a debt-fuelled acquisition spree in the 1990s, paying themselves handsomely while laying off more than a thousand staff. They outsourced much of Wedgwood’s manufacturing to Tangerang, Indonesia, in the mid-2000s. While Tangerang enjoyed a $25m investment, Stoke-on-Trent haemorrhaged jobs to workers who were paid just an eighth of the wage of British employees.

And wiser heads immediately reversed these decisions, banking on the cachet of UK design and heritage: 

Prevailing wisdom holds that businesses can’t compete without outsourcing labour to cheaper locations. Wedgwood shows the opposite can be true. Relocating manufacturing overseas helped destroy the brand’s heritage value: “made in Indonesia” did not have the same ring (particularly for customers in Asian markets) as “made in England”. The success of Burleigh and Emma Bridgewater, both of which still make pottery in Stoke, demonstrates that people value authenticity and are willing to pay for it.

Unfortunately, there's not enough people like that any more, thanks to Rachel from Accounts. 

Fiskars, the Finnish group that has owned Wedgwood since 2015, has been a more stable steward, investing in a tourist destination, World of Wedgwood, in Staffordshire. Nonetheless, much of Wedgwood’s pottery is still made overseas, and in 2019 the company cut 103 jobs. Further redundancies in Stoke would be a blow to artisanal craft skills and to one of the remaining pillars of the Staffordshire potteries.

Sadly, not enough people are willing - or able, in this economy - to pay Wedgewood prices when they can eat off Next or Tesco Home dinner plates. 

Wedgwood’s pottery is a reminder of the skills that Labour should be trying to protect.

Relying on Labour to protect something quintessentially English? A fool's errand! 

Even a Tory can now and then get it right

Fourteen years too late … realising they’ll never return to power unless they overcome WEFer BadEnough and do this.

Motive for archiving Robert Jenrick’s speech here is for later retrieval in whole or part:

We have some of the best lawyers, barristers and judges in the world. But we’ve got a problem. I have concerns that some judges have strongly held beliefs which have the potential to subvert the impartiality of the judiciary.

More than 30 sitting immigration judges have former links to the very activist groups that have ground our court system to a halt. Can judges who have supported and volunteered for organisations and charities such as Bail for Immigration Detainees – whose stated policy is to “work towards a world free of immigration detention” and where no one is “deported from their homes” – be considered to be neutral and unbiased?

Maybe they can, but it is time that we raise these questions. These are not isolated examples; they point to a judiciary where activism and adjudication seem to go together.

The problem goes beyond the effect of any decisions these judges have reached. The rule of law relies on the public having confidence in the impartiality of the judiciary – that the person hearing the cases they bring appears to be a neutral arbitrator.

If judges are tweeting political opinions that directly touch on the policies they’re charged with mediating upon, that confidence is shattered. That’s why I feel so strongly that these people should have no place in our justice system.

Plan to overhaul appointment of judges.

So, yesterday, I announced a bold new approach for how judges are appointed and how they’re removed. At present, judges are appointed and disciplined by quangos.

The first problem is that the Judicial Conduct Investigation Office routinely hands biased judges warnings rather than dismissing them.

The second problem goes much deeper, though – who picks the judges in our courts. Tony Blair handed the job to the Judicial Appointments Commission. Many of the Commissioners are doing a good job, others less so.

Our new plan would see judges appointed again by the Lord Chancellor – an elected minister accountable to the public. A new vetting board will scrutinise their background for any sign of bias, of whichever political hue.

Meanwhile, biased judges will be sacked automatically. If necessary, Parliament will invoke its ancient power to remove judges from the senior courts.

These reforms aren’t radical; they restore the position we had in this country before Blair’s constitutional vandalism.

But to members of the judiciary who object, let me say this. If you had kept your house in order, there would have been no need for these reforms. The public expects the courts to be impartial. Nothing less is acceptable.

In plain sight in film

 ... and even in the humble bible. It's one of those things we currently have, globally, which has been hidden in plain sight at least for two decades "for those who can see".

Speaking personally, I joined thousands of pundits around 2003 (long before the blog) and our sidebar pic today is not wrong on most of it ... not all, as investigation turns up truths but also clever mistruths which can fool us for sometime, e.g. on climate, on vaxxes.

When we get to the outer reaches of conspiracy though ... that's where the "respectable middle" jumps ship and say, as with a dear friend of mine: "I'm not going there."  And to a point she was right, because there are so many trolls, false prophets about in the dying days of civilisations that it's easier to ignore what's really happening in the dark recesses of the human sewer. That's written in the bible by the way, as well.

This is one such "person" who's easier to understand in Gitler brownshirt or antifa terms:

The leftist caught encouraging attacks on ICE agents, challenging Trump supporters to physical fights, and threatening tribunals against the current administration is, in fact, a convicted felon who is now a radical left-wing activist online. Meet Jason T. Brooks, a man who was sentenced to 32 years in prison for running a $10 million Ponzi scheme out of Colorado. He ended up serving only 10 years — just enough time to get out and rebrand himself as a leftist digital warrior.

Many of our left libertarian colleagues ... and there are many former Labour and left Tories with the mass of us westerners now whom Stasi calls "far right" would be uncomfortable with the word "left" used disparagingly, as they saw "left" as a noble cause, refusing to see the ideological duping, just as I did in student days, being briefly a Fabian, even an anarchist.

Yes it's true ... we started up Anarchist Revolutionary Students in Education (an acronym for the ages, we thought. We sent our demands on loo roll, as befitted such a club. And it seems this Brooks character also had posterior problems in prison, winning a huge payout from the state, natch.

As Arlo Guthrie might have put the words in the mouths of the army, recruiting a new killer: "You're our boy."

Which are the same sentiments in The Parallax View, with Beatty as Joe Fraidy. A reviewer with moniker Puccini wrote:

Terrifying conspiracy thriller that opens a new set of hypothesis in the most infamous and debated political crimes of the twentieth century in the united states. An obscure corporation and its dirty plots to prevent the rise of a different political force, fearing it would destabilize everything the big shots in power have worked for. Both Pakula and cinematographer Gordon Willis know how to heighten the sense of paranoia and anxiety

Obscure corporation? Public Private Partnership? Quango? Or a group working for the deep state, rather than for Stasi type puppets, all "elected" leaders being puppets after all ... just how did they even get into office? Look at Kemi BadEnough, WEFer through and through, just like Tony and the Dark Lord who just lost his job.

Or go to Quantum of Solace and the mysterious Mr. Green drying up the Bolivian water supply for residents ... no hang on ... that was Newsom and Pacific Pallisades ... no, hang on ... Oprah and Maui ... etc. etc. dot dot dot. Chicago police chief teaching antifa new tricks. Oh golly gosh, Donald might need to send in the National Guard.

Every level of western society has its traitors to the nation ... just look at the corrupt activist judges ... Julia usually has that topic in hand.

The things I was repeating in 2003 of course had me categorised on the conspiracy nutter list ... how much of this post so far has been fictional? Calling Net Zero climate bollox ... is that fictional any more? Calling out MKUltra ... was that fictional? Given the 1973 court case and verdict in the US?

What did the state claim? That it was a psych-experiment which has now been shut down. Just as the group Bourne was part of, before a Senate Committee, used those same words at the end of that Bourne episode.

Now hang on ... which is fact here ... which is fiction? Have a lovely Thursday, readers.
