Weekend 30 October 2021

For those who do not accept the ‘climate change theory ‘ – this weekend poses a dilemma. Do we listen to the output of the BBC or switch it all off and do something useful . It will be tempting to watch poor old joe Biden trying to read the autocue and being praised for not answering questions by BBC automatons …..

    This is doing the rounds on Twitter. One for Marianne to fact check.
    Did Biden pooh in his pants when he met the Pope?

    Amy Tarkanian
    @MrsT106
    The word around Rome is that Biden’s meeting with the Pope was unusually long because Biden had a bit of an “bathroom accident” at the Vatican & it had to be addressed prior to him leaving.

    I know we joke often about this, but this is the actual rumor going around Rome now.

        And the talk of Diaper Don – Trump incontinent – was also trash.
        If it can be said of Trump, then why not the good working president?
        ———————-
        #DiaperDon became a top Twitter trend this weekend thanks to an outrageous and so far unsubstantiated accusation that President Trump has had incontinence issues that led him to use adult diapers as far back as the early 2000s when he hosted NBC’s “The Apprentice.”

        Hollywood liberals like Rosie O’Donnell and John Leguizamo began sharing a video in which a New York-based standup comic named Noel Casler claimed, without corroboration, that Trump “would often soil himself on ‘The Apprentice’ set.” He added, “I saw it first-hand in the 2000s on ‘Celebrity Apprentice’ and late 2000s, and we’d have to stop the show and change him.”

    Prince Charles has just arrived in Rome and will be addressing the world about climate change.
    I can hardly contain my excitement. He’s such a scintillating orator…

    No doubt, like all the others, he flew in, either first class or by private jet.

    He’ll then be taken by a huge limo to the conference. Just on that point, did you see the enormous convoy of massive vehicles that accompanied Biden? FFS it went on for about half a bleedin’ mile.

    Charlie boy will, of course, be wearing the regulation face nappy and socially distancing…until that is he gets inside and then it’s off with the mask and hand shakes and hugs all round.

    This is an embarrassing charade. They must think we’re all feeble minded.

    Mind you, looking at the coverage by the BBC… I’m just watching the “interview” with Marr and Greta Thumnail. For the love of God, ask some tough questions, you’re not her favourite uncle. Try to imagine she’s a Tory minister or an ardent supporter of Brexit. In a sentence, do your bloody job.

    These aren’t journalists, they’re cheerleaders…

        I usually agree with Neil Oliver pieces but im not so sure about his theory that the green project fear is a straight replacement for the chinese virus fear .

        He seems to think it is ‘ organised ‘ but im not sure that they would have the nouse to create a ‘world green conspiracy ‘ .

        I think it is a fad which will pass when something more important and immediate concentrates minds – like a war – or another pestilence..

          Fed, it struck me this morning listening to the R4 News at 7 a.m. that the Green thing is really evidence of the outworking that St Paul warned about in his letter to co-worker Timothy. (1 Timothy 6 verse 10) A few scientists came up with a theory, politicians leapt on the bandwagon and urged other politicians to do the same. More scientists saw a potential funding stream of taxpayer cash, so they leapt onto the same bandwagon and thus it becomes a perpetuating cycle when you add in businessmen and women with an eye for making a fast buck.

          Fed I find your response to Oliver’s video strange cos I don’t read it that way

          ” his theory that the green project fear is a straight replacement for the chinese virus fear .”

          I don’t see him saying it’s deliberately organised that way
          cos of course Climate Fear predates Covid.
          He says the government’s Nudge Teams have worked out that instead of getting government policies from the public’s minds the public’s minds can be manipulated by FEAR into conforming with the governments predetermined policies.
          And he said they do this first with Climate then Covid and then back into Climate again
          His MAIN POINT is the elites hypocrisy betrays them, they generate CO2 like crazy whilst telling us to live in CO2 Austerity.

          but im not sure that they would have the nouse to create a ‘world green conspiracy ‘ .
          he’s not saying the entire thing is untrue CO2 will warm an atmosphere in a lab experiment, so will have an affect in the real world, but the actual magnitude is complicated
          He is saying that the UK establishment and that in many other countries have chosen to ramp up the fear in PRESENTATION
          ie never show CO2 positives or warmer world positives.

          I think it is a fad which will pass when something more important and immediate concentrates minds – like a war – or another pestilence..
          I guess you can compare it to the nuclear disarmament fad
          where the world was SURE to end if the US didn’t give up nuclear weapons

          or compare it to colonialism when the Spanish thought they were saving the South Americans from HELL, by bringing them Jesus
          Now the west imposing its OLD religion on countries is seen as an imperialist evil
          ..by the very same people who are imposing the new CLIMATE FEAR religion

    I will believe it when i see it – in fact – i wouldn’t believe anything the BBC puts out .
    Will there be a response from the BBC or any of its propaganda staff about what he says ?
    I bet there will be none – other than some denfensive bland statements about the number of complaints up held versus those not

    There was an internal meeting at the BBC back in the late 1990s maybe early 2000s, during which the BBC determined its editorial policy as regards Global Warming/ Climate Change.

    I seem to recall that it received much “critical acclaim” in these parts, but can’t recall the detail.

    It had a name, I think, and the meeting itself was exceptional in that it didn’t involve anyone of appropriate expertise.

    Can someone remind me of the name, and if possible the date it took place?

    Thanks.

    China laugh at the west …China 3 child policy … west 0 child policy

    They believe humans shouldn’t have children. Who are the anti-natalists – and how far are they willing to push their ideas?

    “Wouldn’t it just be better to blow a hole in the side of the earth and just have done with everything?”

    Thomas, 29, lives in the east of England, and although his idea of blowing up the world is something of a thought experiment, he is certain about one thing – humans should not have babies, and our species should gradually go extinct.

    It’s a philosophy called anti-natalism. While the idea dates back to ancient Greece, it has recently been given a huge boost by social media.

    Q.3) Do you still believe all cultures equal? YES|NO

    Q.4) If Charles James Napier had NOT stopped India’s Suttee and it cotinued in 2018, would you allow Indians moving to Britain to still practice Suttee as part of their culture in 2018?

    Q.3) Do you still believe all cultures equal? YES|NO

    “Be it so. This burning of widows (India/suttee) is your custom; prepare the funeral pile. But my nation has also a custom. When men burn women alive we hang them, and confiscate all their property. My carpenters shall therefore erect gibbets on which to hang all concerned when the widow is consumed. Let us all act according to national customs.”

    The race baiters who scream about injustice just want more money and goodies handed over to POC without any judgement allowed on entitlement when it boils down to it.

    The Climate brigade just want only very rich people or official climate zealots and scientists to be unaffected by screwing down the poorer citizens and reducing them to a new serfdom. (catching rabbits on landed gentry land was once a capital offence!)

    The gender brigade want it to be a crime to discuss what they want so that they can avoid scrutiny from anyone and convert society into a tyrannical super-state where only they are untouchable.

    At first I assumed the word in the lowest was going to be ‘deck’.

    The BBC has had much to say about the ”riot/insurrection” led by Trump and his supporters on Jan 6.

    But nothing is said about the condition of those imprisoned for their alleged participation. Bias by omission is indicative of a serious development in the US, as it hurtles towards the post democracy nightmare.

    Here is a letter from one of the captives.

      I saw that letter and have read about the way the incarcerated peeps are being very badly treated – and the harassment of their friends and families.

      Lives are being ruined there – and many of them are self evidently simply ordinary folk who’ve been in the wrong place at the wrong time and the swines in the DoJ are using their mistreatment as a threat to anybody else minded to go to a public demonstration.

    Totally off topic but……

    Have you your PC clipboard to hand?

    Went to the theatre last night. A play about 19 th century Russia.
    I never realised so many people at that time and in that place were cross-dressers or BAME!!!

    But even more amazingly, one of the cast members was black ( tick), female ( tick) and a dwarf ( tick tick).

    What are the chances of that?
    In the luvvieland so appreciated by the BBC, very high indeed.
