Couple of fun stories from the DT.

Those good old boys in JD Hogg’s county done gone an’ painted Portland.

Protests by rival far-right and left-wing groups in Portland descended into violence on Sunday, as the opposing sides engaged in clashes and at least one man was arrested for firing a gun at demonstrators.

Nobody was hurt in an exchange of gunfire - and by Sunday evening there was no word on any injuries in numerous other skirmishes that saw opposing sides brawling, dousing each other in what appeared to be bear spray and breaking car windows of rivals.

Police Chief Chuck Lovell said during a briefing on Friday that officers would not necessarily intervene to break up fights between the groups.

...  while among the effete and guilt-ridden of Cambridge (not the one in MA):

The exciting, go-ahead Classics Department is responding to an earlier call from the Chair of the Classics Faculty Board for “public acknowledgement of the problems of racism within Classics and the need for active anti-racist work within our discipline.”

Cambridge University’s archaeology museum is to add signs to explain the “whiteness” of sculpture plaster casts, as part of the Classics Faculty’s new anti-racist strategy.

Plaster casts of Roman and Greek sculptures that are on display at Cambridge University’s Museum of Classical Archeology, as well as around lecture rooms, give a “misleading impression” of the whiteness and “absence of diversity” of the ancient world.

... The new information panels about the “whiteness” of plaster cast sculptures are due to go on display later this year, according to the faculty.

How much harm could it do for the department’s dons to be maced and getting shot at in Portland, and the Proud Boys to be running Classics at Cambridge?
I mean, really ...

An important article has been posted at TCW by a London-based Lithuanian activist, Emilia Mituziene.  Lithuania is now the cockpit for the security solution, as Israel is for the mRNA experiment.

I AM writing to raise awareness about the deeply disturbing political and social situation right now in Lithuania, and I firmly believe that the 50 per cent of Lithuanian citizens who have declined Covid-19 vaccination, and even a large number of those who have been vaccinated, support me in this call for the attention of international communities. There has been nothing published in mainstream media outside our country.

Today, August 10, the Lithuanian government is due to review and accept the following amendments of state legislations denying non-vaccinated people, including school age children, access to:

– public transport;

– primary and secondary care medical institutions;

– any trade and service where the human contact is longer than 15 minutes;

– libraries, museums, concerts, theatres;

– schools and universities;

– shops with an area larger than 1,500 sq m.

The state’s statutory sick leave will be waived for those who do not take the vaccine. 

The principal officers and staff at the Lithuanian Parliament who are non-vaccinated or oppose the aforementioned changes had their Parliament entry ID cards deactivated on Friday (August 6) so will not be allowed to attend. Will the opposing MPs be next?

A Lithuanian MEP is openly running hate speech against non-vaccinated people – advising the public to stop all the contacts with those without inoculation, including family members. The expression ‘unnecessary ballast to society’ is being used by the director of the Employment Service Institution. The segregation of people, friends and even families has started in a country of only three million.

Military forces of Lithuania are due to receive enhanced powers, including takeover the property of the businesses and individuals.

A monument to the race-betrayal and general malignancy of the Westminster political class. A monument to the betrayal of every native British child forced to “learn” self-hatred in that ugly cell in place of being inspired by the many deeds of greatness of the wartime generation.

From the Telegraph:

A national Holocaust memorial will be built next to Parliament after ministers overrode local opposition to approve the project.

Chris Pincher, the housing minister, signed off on the £100 million proposal on Thursday to build the Holocaust Memorial and Learning Centre, which will be located in Victoria Tower Gardens, Westminster.

... The decision overturned a previous ruling by Westminster Council, which last year decided to reject the plans in the face of local opposition and claims that it contravened planning rules on size, design and location.

While the plan for a national memorial was first set in motion by David Cameron in 2013, the location has been criticised by some groups, including Historic England, on the grounds there are believed to be important archaeological remains located at the site.

The fiercest opposition has come from the local resident group Save Victoria Tower Gardens (SVTC), which claims that the open space in the area should be protected as a local amenity.

The slippery and sleek, Israel-mad ministerial figure of Robert Jenrick oversaw the decision, formally taken by the Housing Minister Chris Pincher.  One is married to a Jewish lawyer and is raising his children as Jews.  The other one seems to be what used to be called a confirmed bachelor.  There doesn’t seem to be anyone anywhere in the political class who is remotely interested in doing the right thing by us and, in this case, throwing out this aggressive proposal.  The tax-payer will now foot the bill for three-quarters of the cost.

My higher cognitive faculties having been put out of commission by a painful condition, and at the recommendation of The Critical Drinker, I decided to, at my own initiative for the first time in probably a couple of years, actually sit down and blow off a couple of hours watching a movie:

The Tomorrow War.

Now, I’m not saying The Critical Drinker is a 100% reliable filter on the torrent of psychophysiological weaponry gushing out of our screens and into our minds from the open sewer mains of Hulu, Netflix and Amazon Prime Video, but if you’re looking for something minimally toxic and maximally numbing, and The Drinker Recommends a movie along these lines, it’s probably a good bet.

So, I watched it.

What caught my attention wasn’t all the blackity-black-black stuff. That’s par for the course nowadays and there were at least minor character flaws in _some_ of the black characters. Nor was it the global-warming sermon wherein the present generation is dooming their children to a hell on earth. That, too, is par for the course and at least some redemption was offered to the flawed heterosexual white males.

No, what _really_ caught my attention was the casting of the female lead.

What caught my attention about her was how much she looked like a Finnish girlfriend of mine from Minneapolis way back in the 1970s. It was probably that girlfriend that most brought to my attention the way BLOB* eradicates feminine beauty and intelligence from the gene pool of humanity, rendering BLOB the moral equivalent of Satan himself as far as I’m concerned.

Your mileage may vary, but that’s the way I see BLOB.

*Recursive acronym for “BLOB Loves Only Bloblings”.  BLOB regards the rest of us food for the immediate feelings of its little Bloblings—but isn’t seriously concerned about sustaining itself, let alone its precious Bloblings.  At one point it could have been more or less identified with Jewish virulence but that virulence has now transcended mere Jews and now independently inhabits “the economy” globally.

It’s happening again.  Yesterday’s British GP at Silverstone had an interesting opening lap in which the diversity-boy, having been humbled for several GPs by Red Bull’s Max Verstappen, duly sent his nemesis spinning into the tyre barrier at Copse Corner at around 190 mph.

Not all the fans were charmed to see the perp suffer no significant penalty for his wrecklessness.  Because the race had to be stopped to recover Verstappen’s badly damaged car and repair the tyre wall, the BLM-boy got a free change of nose for his Mercedes in the pits.  The race marshals then awarded him only a ten second hold in the pit at his forthcoming tyre change.  Ten seconds means nothing given that the Merc is so much faster than every other car in the race except the surviving Red Bull of Perez, who was out of contention.  To absolutely no one’s surprise, the kneeling-boy duly won, and celebrated as if he is someone who might not possess large reserves of self-awareness.  All in all, it did not go down incredibly well with some folks who are sick to death of the antics of this person.

The DM picks up the story in suitably indignant mode:

Mercedes demands Facebook take action against racist users after Lewis Hamilton was abused with monkey and gorilla emojis following his controversial British Grand Prix win against Max Verstappen

Facebook is today under even more pressure to ‘eliminate’ racist abuse on Instagram after Lewis Hamilton was bombarded with monkey emojis and called a gorilla after winning the British Grand Prix in controversial fashion yesterday.

Mercedes has hinted that police should investigate some of the vile slurs aimed at their star driver and called on social media companies to do more to stop racist posts before they go online - and close the accounts of the culprits. 

Seven-time world champion Hamilton, 36, was involved in a crash that saw championship leader and rival Max Verstappen plough his Red Bull into a wall and out of the race at Silverstone.

Hamilton, who is a vocal supporter of the BLM movement is leading a campaign for more racing drivers from black and ethnic minority groups, was hit by a 10 second penalty but went on to win the race and close the gap in the title race to just eight points. 

Following the race, Sir Lewis received a slew of racist abuse including monkey and gorilla emojis on Instagram - the platform of choice for racists who abused Bukayo Saka, Jadon Sancho and Marcus Rashford after their penalty misses in the Euro 2020 final this month.

Today Mercedes, Hamilton’s team, released a joint statement with Formula One and the sport’s governing body, the FIA, condemning the abuse, and piled more pressure on social media giants to take steps to filter comments, ban racists and help police punish them if necessary.

Well, first let us state here and now, for the benefit of kneelers everywhere, that it is very, very, very, very wrong, indeed terribly, terribly wrong, in fact, so wrong that it’s as wrong as wrong can ever be, to claim some equivalence between a monkey and an African.  The claim is based on a total misreading of physiognomy and intelligence, and even when obviously retailed by Africans themselves as a self-effacing joke, for example thus:

... it can never be acceptable in liberal company.  Members of every race do some extremely stupid things.  The equality-boy, for example, is said to have two rooms of his ultra-luxury Monaco home filled with his shoe collection.  No sign of narcissism there then.  No, no, all perfectly normal for anybody with two hundred million quid in the bank.

One imagines that it will be even tougher for the media to turn the mad knight of Copse Corner into a Person of Suffering than it was with the multi-millionaire black penalty-failures of the Euros final.  That won’t stop them trying, though.

History, it seems, repeats all of its repeats under the weird two-stage French voting system.  Marine Le Pen’s National Rally has again fallen short in an important election, this time the regionals.

French far-Right loses two key regional votes, dealing blow to Marine le Pen’s presidential ambitions
Centre-Right candidates have retained their seats in all regions

The candidates of Marine Le Pen’s far-Right party have failed to win over any regions in the final round of France’s regional elections on Sunday, as mainstream conservatives delivered a blow to her presidential ambitions.

In the highly-contested battleground of Provence, the poll was seen as a major test of whether the far-Right leader can win votes ahead of an election next year expected to pit her against President Emmanuel Macron.

Thierry Mariani, a former conservative minister, hoped to be the first elected regional leader in France to hail from Ms Le Pen’s National Rally (RN).

But two exit polls showed Mr Mariani winning around 45 per cent of the vote in the southwestern region, while the conservative incumbent, Renaud Muselier, grabbed roughly 55 per cent.

Turnout in both rounds, it should be said, was miserably low.  Only around a third of the registered voters bothered to exercise their rights.  But it now seems unlikely that enough stay-at-home supporters will come out for her at the presidential elections between 8 and 23 April next year.  The centre-right UMP is on the up, and will fancy its chances of dumping Le Pen out in the first round.

Of absolutely no surprise to anyone outside Westminster, it now emerges that the British government has had no idea how many migrants came from the 27 European Union member states:

EU immigration to the UK was underestimated by more than 1.6 million between 2012-2020, it has emerged, after the ONS revised its methodology to produce new figures that dwarf previous estimates.

Previous immigration figures were based on surveys contributing to a model known as Long Term International Migration (LTIM), which now appears to have wildly missed the mark.

The new technique, called Rapid, is based on actual tax and benefits data instead, and “has the benefit of removing uncertainty”, said the ONS. It reveals that in many years of the last decade the number of EU migrants was more than, or close to, double previous estimates.

“The statistical narrative is just completely different to what we thought,” Madeleine Sumption, director, Migration Observatory at the University of Oxford, told The Telegraph.

In the year ending March 2019, for example, 410,000 are now assumed to have arrived, as opposed to the 186,000 previously estimated, up a substantial 120 per cent.

I often find the comments under the line more instructive than the journalism, so here is one that explains what it all means:

EU Survivor

In the years prior to the Brexit Referendum, the leave campaigners argued that the immigration figures massively underestimated the true picture, and cited NI numbers issued as evidence that there must have been far more immigrants than admitted to.

This was denied by those pushing the remain side of the argument, including the then Government led by Cameron.

We now hear that looking at tax and benefits, the figures were massively underestimated.

While this is suggested as new information, following a new methodology, it appears to me that there was a form of corporate wilful negligence in avoiding using such a system previously, when it was clear it would demonstrate more accurate, and far higher levels of immigration.

So, despite all the claims from remainers of false information from the leave side - the remain side had been providing and I believe lying about the levels of immigration for years.

For Remain read government.  For government read corporate whores.

Winter starvation?  Well, that’s Brandon Smith’s fear, anyway:
