Liberty Quote
- Life, with its rules, its obligations, and its freedoms, is like a sonnet: You're given the form, but you have to write the sonnet yourself.

Apparently the ‘Yes’ argument is proving effective in convincing people to vote know.
Also in a recent survey, those inclined to vote ‘Yes’ were less certain of their decision than those inclined to vote ‘No’.

‘My Ancestors Would Have Rolled Over in Their Graves’

It may be sad, but it is not surprising. In his Goodbye post, David Hiscox writes:
I can understand what The XYZ blog owner means when he says that he is all burnt out.
Blogging/finding content for a site to keep it running is time consuming and exhausting. Some sites have bloggers working there full time and depend on financial contributions from their readers. Others, like this one, have contributors who are busy in other roles and come in when they can.
It is possible to win the war against the WEF and their plans for the New World Order. But that requires people to shift from inaction, apathy, disinterest, fence-sitting, lurking and passivity to action, taking part and getting involved. Those who read this blog will be familiar with my rants on blog participation.
If the battle – whether physical participation in protests and rallies, posting comments and responding on blogs, or other methods of fighting back against the despots – is dependent on a few, the ones who do it will get weary and burn out at some stage.

The Remaking of America, Victor Davis Hanson August 7, 2023
“We are in the midst of one of the most radical revolutions in American history. It is as far-reaching and dangerous as the turbulent years of the 1850s and 1860s or the 1930s. Every aspect of American life and culture is under assault, including the very processes by which we govern ourselves, and the manner in which we live…..”

Conservative media personalities (like Tucker and Candace) think that they are supporting free speech and give the likes of the Tate brothers a platform to share their life beliefs. Do they consider how these depraved beings could influence other young men and make them believe that this is true masculinity? That these are strong men who are defending what it is to be a real man?
These heroic specimens of manhood were unjustly place in home detention in Romania. How unfair. So Tucker had an extended interview with Andrew (two and a half hours), and following their release thought it was good to have another with the brother Tristan (one hour).
If Tucker wants to interview real men, I could give him a list of males who would be good role models for those who are confused or upset with the woke toxic masculinity being sold to them. But I suppose those men would not be good enough click bait.

I was wondering why there was so much interest in the military coup in Niger. Why was Macron so upset, why did Victoria Nuland fly to Niger to demand the restoration of the former president, why does the USA have two military bases in Niger?
It’s a dirt-poor dusty sub-Saharan nation which shouldn’t be of interest to anyone, and it’s in a corner of the world where we see three military coups every week, so why all the fuss about Niger?
The answer I think is the Trans-Saharan gas pipeline which is planned to take natural gas from Nigeria through Niger and Algeria into Europe, thus replacing the Russian gas which was transported to Europe via the Nord-Stream pipelines with American corporation owned gas in Nigeria.
If Niger turns off the gas then they could expect retaliation from America and Europe, another NATO war for justice and democracy and all that stuff.

Good news:
Sam Bankman-Fried will head to jail on Friday after a judge sided with a request by federal prosecutors to revoke the FTX founder’s bail over alleged witness tampering. Bankman-Fried was remanded to custody directly from a court hearing in New York.
Judge Lewis Kaplan denied Bankman-Fried’s request for delayed detention pending an appeal. Unless the appeal is successful, he is expected to remain in custody until his criminal trial, which is due to begin on Oct. 2.
“My conclusion is there is probable cause to believe the defendant tried to tamper with witnesses at least twice,” said Judge Kaplan during his ruling.
As the court marshals took Bankman-Fried into custody at the end of the hearing, the defendant took off his blazer, tie, emptied his pockets, and appeared to remove his shoes. Bankman-Fried’s parents were both in the gallery. His mother had her face buried in her hands for much of Judge Kaplan’s lengthy ruling.

I was listening to talkback radio this morning. As has been the case for months now, most of the talkback shows revolve round “the Voice”. I heard a call which I would term one of the best talkback radio calls.
Sandy, the caller, is an indigenous lady and she spoke for around 15-20 minutes. I did make some notes on what she said so that I could share it here on the blog. But I have decided not to do that. There was a request from callers for the recording to be made available, and the host of the show said that he would look into it.
I will keep a lookout and if it gets posted somewhere, I will share the link here.
I would advice the NO campaign to forget about all its other ad material and focus on getting this call out to the public, in every way possible. Twitter might be a good place to start, with links provided on campaign advertising.

When it rains, it pours. The same day that YouTube deplatformed “The Scott Ritter Show”, they deplatformed “Ask The Inspector.” This is a targeted effort by YouTube to remove/minimize my voice, and those of my guests and the people who took the time to ask probing questions about the pressing issues of the day. Those who are behind this should know—you won’t succeed. There is a vast social media world out there beyond YouTube. And for those voices who still use YouTube as the primary vector to your audience, understand this—conform or perish. If you’re doing a geopolitical show, and you’re still platformed by YouTube, ask yourself why. And be willing to live with the answer. More on this later.

One more. I’m a huge fan of Lewis’s work and have been for decades. He’s had a big influence on my thinking and understanding. My favourite work is “That Hideous Strength”. Lewis understood the trajectory and outcomes of ideas that were brewing in his day. It’s the third book in his ‘space trilogy’.
‘“You mean you’ve engineered the disturbances?” said Mark.
“That’s a crude way of putting it,” said Feverstone.
“But – what’s it all for?”
“Emergency regulations,” said Feverstone. “You’ll never get the powers we want at Edgestow until the Government declares that a state of emergency exists out there.”
