   John Kerry moaning about loss of control over the narrative.

This dis and misinformation caper is an idea straight out of the book, 1984.

A very dangerous idea.

Who is going to decide what is or is not misinformation?

Will it change with every change of government or will it be concreted into the constitution for ever?

At least we are going to live longer, or it will seem like it, by 0.06 microseconds/day

In So, So Sad news:

The body of Hezbollah leader Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah has been recovered from the site of an Israeli air attack on Beirut’s southern suburbs, a day after his death was confirmed.

His body is intact, sources told Reuters on Sunday, and it appeared the cause of death was blunt trauma from the force of the blast. 

“More than 20 other terrorists of varying ranks, who were present at the underground headquarters in Beirut located beneath civilian buildings, and were managing Hezbollah’s terrorist operations against the state of Israel, were also eliminated,”

Senator Wong was unavailable for comment.

I’ve just had a horrible thought.

Birds Eyes Fish Fingers.

This is going to get nasty:
Leaked Conversation Between Arizona’s Democrat Gov, Attorney General, and Secretary of State Reveals Attempt to Cover Up 98,000 Voter Registration Glitch – Officials Worried About Calls for New 2020 and 2022 Elections

?So how are they going to deal with it? Have new elections and cancel every law passed by the legislature for the last 4 years? Because this margin of error is well above the number required to recall the entire vote.
And it gives grounds for Kari Lakes accusations of crooked counting.

Wong isn’t stupid. Like so many of them, she’s an opportunistic, rapidly aging woman looking for her niche post politics. Her airbrushed, AI style Wiki photo tells part of the story.

The UN Kool Kids Klub will have taken note. They like elected people who are prepared to sell out their countries for “the greater good”.

First they came for the statues, now they are coming for Shakespeare!

This was one of the reasons the then USSR intervened in Afghanistan, ideological, political reasons aside.

“The Soviet Union intervened in support of the Afghan communist government in its conflict with anti-communist Muslim guerrillas during the Afghan War (1978–92) and remained in Afghanistan until mid-February 1989.”

Many here forget the advances Afghan women achieved in the 70s.

All gone now

The war was never to be won, history proved that many times over.

Civilized armies do not operate at the level needed to defeat a Muslim guerrilla force.

Israel is finding it hard as well with the west at her heels yapping.

The 1970s in Afghanistan were a time of significant social change, especially for women. During this decade, many Afghan women experienced greater freedoms and opportunities compared to previous eras.

They pursued education, entered the workforce, and participated in public life, often dressing in Western-style clothing and engaging in cultural activities.

Women attended universities, worked as teachers, doctors, and professionals, and were active in political movements advocating for rights and equality.

This period saw the rise of a vibrant cultural scene, where women’s voices began to flourish in literature and the arts.
However, this progress faced challenges as political unrest grew, leading to eventual turmoil in the late 1970s.

The freedoms women enjoyed were soon threatened by subsequent conflicts and changes in government. The 1970s remain a poignant reminder of both the potential for progress and the fragility of rights in times of upheaval.

I find this oddly humorous as it displays the childlike ability to lie at the level of 6 year old children, in adults from the Middle East and the Subcontinent. But to complete the duality of the bullshit – it takes an adult to display the duplicity of the argument:

The Palestinians’ pattern of lying in opposite directions is illustrated by the invocation of the most ubiquitous term used to describe Israel’s relationship to its historic homeland: “occupation.” The mere mention of the Gaza Strip will almost immediately prompt a reference to Israel’s “occupation,” despite the incontrovertible fact that Israel relinquished control of the Strip’s Palestinian population in Gaza and withdrew from it, down to the last Jewish man, woman and child, in 2005.

I’d add that Israel reinterred even their dead from the cemeteries – why leave the honoured dead in the lands of their enemies so their remains can be desecrated?

The Fall of England – Dr David Starkey

Triggernometry

**Summary:** In the video titled “The Fall of England,” Dr. David Starkey, an eminent historian, discusses the decline of English identity, governance, and social cohesion. He critiques the evolution of British national identity, stressing that England’s history has been overshadowed by attempts to forge a uniform British identity, particularly during the Blair administration. Starkey examines the implications of devolution, immigration, and the impact of wokeness on traditional English values and institutions. He posits that the current societal challenges are rooted in a malfunctioning government structure, a loss of community identity, and the lack of responsibility in modern welfare systems. He calls for a return to a bicultural understanding of identity that acknowledges individual national identities alongside a shared British identity. **Key Points by Section:** 1. **Introduction to the Fall of England:** – Starkey reflects on the expansive structure of the modern government and its dysfunctionality. – He raises the question of England’s current state and national identity. 2. **England vs. Britain:** – Highlights the historical separation between England, Scotland, and other nations within the UK. – Argues that British identity lacks coherent values, emphasizing the importance of regional identities. 3. **Union and National Identity:** – Discusses the 1707 Union and its implications for Scotland and England. – Emphasizes the maintenance of distinct national identities despite political union. – Critiques misconceptions in historical interpretations of British history. 4. **Cultural Nationalism:** – Analyzes the cultural nationalism in Scotland, Wales, and Ireland compared to England. – Discusses the role of heritage in forming national identity (e.g., poetry, dress). – Critiques the educational focus on outdated languages like Welsh. 5. **Impact of Devolution and Immigration:** – Addresses the consequences of devolution and how it marginalized England politically. – Analyzes the impact of large-scale immigration on a shared national identity. – Critiques the superficial notion of British identity as mere tolerance. 6. **Historical Context of British Identity:** – Discusses the significance of the monarchy in British identity. – Critiques the decline of the monarchy’s role as a symbol of national identity. 7. **Challenges to Community and Identity:** – Reflects on the degradation of community structures and the impact of modern welfare states. – Emphasizes the necessity for a cultural identity that fosters personal responsibility. 8. **Economics and Governance:** – Discusses the economic crises, state overspending, and comparison to historical examples such as Argentina. – Critiques the failure of government regulation and the multiplicity of administrative bodies. 9. **Call for Educational and Cultural Renewal:** – Advocates for a historical education system that recognizes English history and values. – Proposes creating a sense of community and pride through education and cultural landmarks. 10. **Final Thoughts:** – Participates in a critical analysis of modern politics, expressing skepticism about the political establishment. – Stresses the urgency for a resurgence of core values and coherent identity in facing current challenges. 11. **Concluding Remarks:** – Starkey concludes with a recognition of the complexity of contemporary societal issues, urging a reevaluation of identity, governance, and cultural heritage. The conversation ultimately raises profound questions about the future of England and Britain, national identity, and community cohesion in the f

Their ABC informs me that the “far right” Freedom Party has won the Austrian general election.
Polishing the pickelhaubes as we speak.

I suppose it doesn’t matter whether it was Mossad, bad weather or crappy maintenance. Bye bye.

There are unconfirmed reports in Iranian media of a helicopter crash in southwestern Iran. 

It is reported that Mohammad Abdul Salam, the head of Houthi coordination in Iran, and several others have been killed.

Not confirmed but a lot it is going about lately. A pandemic of exothermic endings.

I wonder what they expect to happen in the oil market.

Down not up from what I can see.

Especially if US economic statistics are being fudged, as they seem to be. China also. Xi is doing a splurge of funny money right now, but that is a sugar hit. Once it wears off economic gravity will reassert itself. Powerline had a scary graph last week:

RIGHT TO REPAIR: Paralyzed Man Who Walks With an Exoskeleton Had To Fight Manufacturer Who Didn’t Want To Service It Because ‘It’s Too Old’
“‘After 371,091 steps my exoskeleton is being retired after 10 years of unbelievable physical therapy’, Michael Straight posted on Facebook earlier this month. ‘The reasons why it has stopped is a pathetic excuse for a bad company to try and make more money’.
According to Straight, the issue was caused by a piece of wiring that had come loose from the battery that powered a wristwatch used to control the exoskeleton. This would cost peanuts for Lifeward to fix up, but it refused to service anything more than five years old, Straight said.
‘I find it very hard to believe after paying nearly $100,000 for the machine and training that a $20 battery for the watch is the reason I can’t walk anymore?’ he wrote on Facebook.”
Would you buy a car if the manufacturer refused to repair or stock the parts, or even refused you permission to fix it if something went wrong after 5 years? Of course not.

After you’ve been shredded by Israel how the fcuk do you think you can plough even one of the 72 virgins you spastics drool about?

Just asking.

after protesters gatecrashed a pro-Palestine rally 

Suuuuure they did.

Can our police be any more craven? Or deceptive?

From Indolent’s link at 8.40 to citizen reportage:

“When they come over the border, they get an Obama-phone, and that phone tells them you have to go here, you have to go there, there is a plan for putting them into the swing states …”

So says local Pepublican Party representative in Charleroi, Pensylvania, a hard-scrabble town of 4000 overlaid with 2500 recent Haitian immigrants, brought over legally by Democrat Welfare Organisations who run a business bringing in cheap labour whose pay is then supplemented, almost doubled, by Federal programs for employers taking them on.

Yes, there is definitely ‘a plan’ in all of this.
That, plus all of the ‘fortification’ methods emerging re this forthcoming election do not give me much hope for Trump winning.

Unless Americans see the how bad things are and vote in huge numbers for Trump.

Each weekend I get a reminder that The Five (Fox, weekdays) would be heaps better if they ditched Jessica Tarlov and Harld Ford Junior. The Big Weekend Show has just four good people on it (including this week Miranda Devine) and it’s a pleasure to behold.

Jessica Tarlov is such a lying B that she will come up with any number of uncheckable “Facts & Figures” to try to bend the narrative back to favouring the Democrats. Harold Ford Jnr. Is a bit more smooth in his presentation, ultimately the same, but the big question remains.

Neither of these people should be there, defending the indefensible American left, which is bent on destroying the USA and remodelling it in quite a different shape. The fact that they are there, doing just that, means that they are a dishonest or complicit vector in cahoots with the string pullers trying to wreck the American Experiment, do away with the Constitution and the Supreme Court, and go down the Cloward-Piven track.

The soviet model post the Russian revolution also ripped down statues and decided to rewrite history. The USA is in so much trouble it’s hard to believe that the upcoming election is going to fix it.

Have the impression Nasrallah thought he was immune even to bunker busters.
Reports on twitter indicate that he died as the results of gases from the explosions entering the unventilated room he was sheltering in, like they expected something but thought they were far enough, deep enough away from where Israel could be expected to hit.
Body was intact, and Iran want it, Israel should be demanding all the hostages back in exchange.
