Shawn Ryan's interview of Jay Cal. Everyone should listen to this. youtube.com/watch?v=nuu3ShNd…

Consider the incredible out of touch psychology of Tim Stanley's latest piece. Tim imagines, because Shabana will often attend the kind of dinner parties he might attend, that there is a coherent intellectual milieu atop this nation maintaining stability and a core set of values. He can't name those values, or if he does trot off some of the usual and wrong platitudes, he won't be able to identify in the least the mechanism by which they will survive even one more generation. He sits on the lazy assumption the cultural inputs that have supported him in his middle class life are somehow supported and defended by the bubble he lives within and will, somehow, automagically, endure. He thinks there is an intellectual continuity where Shabana Mahmood "might" have had some admirable policies defending Britishness and Englishness, but only on closer, polite, examination they don't line-up. He imagines the differences held by the right and the left in-power are still in the realm of the polite. The fucking myopic fool. The disjuncture with reality, the inability to appreciate the extremity of the filter bubble he inhabits is simply staggering. While he admires the crocodile's smile, he simply cannot begin to comprehend how close he is to getting eaten. He may even be deluded enough to think losing Allison Pearson and Liam Halligan is business as usual, and - unlucky for Allison - he is just a better writer for "the commercial direction" the paper needs to go. He is fiddling while Rome burns. But I shouldn't just round on Tim. The Times has, for years, enforced an even more stringent reality warp field. It's just that the Telegraph is the latest institution to fall even more firmly in the iron grip of the globalist narrative filter. As we enter the end-game, the tiny (and frankly insulting) degree of dissent the Telegraph used to be granted, is no more.

Fucking idiot. From the safety data sheet for Dylon Jeans Blue.

James Melville is my kind of sensible, considered analyst whose views I mostly agree with on X. He is connected to the countryside and outdoor life so in my opinion a solid, grounded account to follow. He is careful to maintain a generally positive feed, whilst intelligently and oftentimes somewhat gently commenting on the many ills of Britains politics. It is healthy to avoid hysteria and he gets the balance right. Symbolically, he is the angel whispering in my ear on one shoulder, Joe Rogan (MMA, bow and arrow hunting) is probably somewhere in the middle, and James Dellingpole is a kind of conspiracy theorist devil (devil in the slightly contradictory sense of whispering "they're all Satanists") on the other. So when all three are saying "it's deliberately orchestrated", by rights, a five bell alarm has got to sound. It isn't the big things, it's the incessant build-up of little things. Danny Tommo gets monitored and arrested. Yet in Paris there must be an organisation that strategically placed the pictured pallet of bottles. Think about that! It was planned. A van was ordered. Empty bottles purchased. A pallet was delivered quite deliberately to the street. The pallet layered with easy access to each layer, efficiently offering up the contents to rioters. The goods would have been relatively speaking expensive; far more than 99.99% of the rioters would ever dream of forking out for. Go back 20 years and serious questions would have been asked about this. Government might have launched an enquiry. It would have been considered an imperative the security services get to the bottom of who is behind it and the news would probably have reported on it and would have tagged the investigation through to conclusion. More than this, the general public would have had the IMAGINATION to understand why getting to the bottom of such an act should be a state imperative. But today, while men like Danny Tommo are picked up, we know, FOR SURE, this will be ignored. The authorities and the press will not want to know. Their very incuriosity will speak volumes and we the people will know we are being gaslit and there is a deeply disturbing managed agenda. One such incident alone would not suffice to be able to conclude such a thing. But we are now surrounded with a never ending litany of such examples. Boats that are delivered to trafficking gangs. Printed signs and counter-protesters delivered on mass to counteract protests which don't fit the agenda. A public whose minds and curiosity about matters such as the pallet, appears to have been stunted (vaccine stunted?). The exact same printed signs in the US and Britain. Authorities laying on police escorts for illegal immigrants of a size that would be worthy of a state visit by the US President. The rate of apparent establishment resolve to do the opposite of what the electorate want has multiplied since Covid, such that it is now off-the-charts. To me, this doesn't imply amateur leftist or anarchist organisations. It smacks of sophisticated exterior control at the level only state or globalist organisations would coordinate. It's all orchestrated.

Entirely expected given crusty and slightly aromatic lefty activist reporters

I wish that were still true. Unfortunately it's now more like:

The AI community note writer accepts measles cases were reduced 99% before vaccines were produced, because of sanitation, but then were still 3-4 million. So then it is claiming before the decrease due to sanitation, cases must have been at about 300-400 million per year 🤣🤡
