Omeleto:
Into the Silent Sea is used with permission from Andrej Landin.
In the midst of the Cold War in the 1960s, a cosmonaut named Alexander orbits in space, adrift around the earth in his space capsule. He has lost all navigation and communication systems, and he will soon lose his life-support systems.
Alexander soon discovers an Italian radio frequency where a Sicilian radio engineer named Alvaro is working the night shift. The two men form an intense bond as they work through the night and Alexander reckons with the journey that led to the space capsule in the first place.
But as Alexander drifts away, the newfound friendship between the men may not last the night, and help Alexander find his way home.
Writer-director Andrej Landin takes a meditative, thoughtful tone in his sci-fi short about the mythic “lost cosmonauts” that were a supposed casualty of the so-called “space race” between the U.S. and the Soviet Union to be the first to send a human in space.
The story has the plot points and development of a thriller, with its elements of space travel and potential disaster. But the beautifully considered craftsmanship and pacing are steady, introspective and measured, with an emphasis on emotional resonance. The images have an elegiac power, full of natural beauty, light and texture, emphasizing just how rich life on earth can be.
Alexander’s memories of his training — and a particular love affair with a fellow trainee named Tanya — suffuse the film throughout via flashbacks, bathed in the golden hues of warmth and contentment. It can be hard for shorts to integrate flashbacks into the storytelling, but these memories form the sociopolitical context of the story, as well as the emotional core of the film — and give viewers a palpable sense of loss once we realize just what Alexander is losing as he floats in space.
Through the understated dialogue and the equally subtle, resonant performances that bring it to life, Alexander’s bond with Alvaro forms his final, last attachment — one that helps him come to terms with his fate, appreciate the richness of the life he has to leave behind and find meaning in the sacrifice that he made before he left earth.
“Into the Silent Sea” falls into a rich tradition of sci-fi films that use the vacuum of space and the unthinkable breadth of the cosmos as rich metaphors for the human condition, in all its ultimate helplessness and solitude. It takes its time to tell its story and develop its characters, but the result is a moving, emotionally immersive cinematic experience that tells an unusually full and complete story, with an ending that is bittersweet in its wisdom. As Alexander says, “We live as we dream… alone.” But we do carry the richness of memories and love within us, providing some comfort in our final journeys.

Stocks tumbled Friday to cap a brutal week for financial markets, as surging interest rates and foreign currency turmoil heightened fears of a global recession.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average tumbled 486.27 points, or 1.62%, to 29,590.41. The S&P 500 slid 1.72% to 3,693.23, while the Nasdaq Composite dropped 1.8% to 10,867.93.
The Dow notched a new low for the year and closed below 30,000 for the first time since June 17. The 30-stock index ended the day 19.9% below an intraday record, flirting with bear market territory. At one point, the Dow was down more than 826 points.
The major averages capped their fifth negative week in six, with the Dow giving up 4%. The S&P and Nasdaq shed 4.65% and 5.07%, respectively. It marked the fourth negative session in a row for stocks, as the Fed on Wednesday enacted another super-sized rate hike of 75 basis points and indicated it would do another at its November meeting.

How many people around the world with Ukrainian flags on their social media accounts know the name of the Yemini president? Would they recognise him in a photo? Can they identify the flag of Yemen? Would the media fare any better?
Here are a few clues. His name does not have the initials V or Z. He does not wear a green/brown t-short and waltz around the online world with a begging bowl.
Why should we have any interest in Yemen?
The country is home to an eight-year-old civil war and arguably the world’s worst humanitarian crisis. As many as 20 million people in that country are facing famine.
Innocent Ukraine invaded by bad Russia 9 months ago. Big deal.
Yemen invaded by Shiite Houthi militias (who are supported by Iran) 8 years ago. Not important.
The Yemeni people should identify as Ukrainian. Say the invaders are being supported by Putin. And their president should buy himself some t-shirts.

Why and How the Conspirators are winning the War for our Freedom and our Souls
24TH SEPTEMBER 2022
Anyone who doesn’t believe the conspirators are winning this war isn’t looking hard enough at what is happening.
At the beginning of 2022 I said that we had until the end of the year to defeat the conspirators.
I stand by that warning.
Government policies everywhere are designed to destroy economies, impoverish millions and result in hundreds of millions of death (particularly in Asia and Africa) through cold and hunger.
Nothing that is happening is happening by accident. Everything in our stagnant, rancid, entitlement based society is planned and everything is deliberate.
In March 2020, I warned that the coronavirus pandemic hoax was designed to do three things: to kill the elderly, to get rid of cash and to bring in compulsory vaccination programmes. I warned that we were fighting a war against evil people.
And three months after that, in the early summer of 2020, I warned that our main enemies were not the conspirators themselves but the collaborators – the millions of people who would, if told to do so, stand on their heads in buckets of custard and ask only how long they had to stay there. I warned that it would be the supine, spineless, ignorant, gullible, compliant collaborators who would sign our death warrants.
I was widely criticised for this (what a surprise) by people who argued that those who were collaborating with the enemy needed to be talked to nicely, and persuaded to understand the truth about masks, lockdowns, covid-19 jabs and PCR tests.
That was never going to work. And it still won’t work.
It was never going to work because the conspirators had bought the mainstream media lock, stock and barrel. Gates and his chums had spent millions to buy the news.
Right from the start of this war we should have been fighting the collaborators, as well as the conspirators.
And we needed to draw attention to the way that government spokesmen were lying and the way they were openly using brain washing tricks to promote lies and deceits. I pointed out the dangers of the programme of control leading us towards state controlled social credit.
Today, even seemingly intelligent people still fail to understand the extent of the fraud and the danger we face. There are many educated people who are so brainwashed, and so capable of suppressing the truth, that they still believe that those of us who talk and write about the conspirators are suffering from paranoia.
The evidence of the fraud is easy to find. It is easy to prove that PCR tests are worse than useless. It is easy to prove (using official statistics) that covid-19 killed no more people than the ordinary flu. It is easy to prove that the official figures have been fiddled. It is easy to prove that hundreds of thousands of people have been killed or injured by the covid-19 jabs. And it is easy to prove that, right at the start, in the UK, the Government’s own advisors confirmed that covid-19 was no more deadly than the flu.
The proof of this, of course, is that right from the beginning the authorities have refused to debate any of these issues. The BBC has steadfastly refused to allow any airtime to anyone, however qualified, who dares to say anything even remotely critical about vaccines.
The one thing we should have done, right from the start, was to demand proper, open, live, televised, public debates. I repeatedly tried to do this (even offering money for a debate) but no one on our side of the war was prepared to promote the challenge – and so it was easy for the conspirators and the collaborators to ignore the fact that the truth had been suppressed.
I hate the idea of ever appearing on television again but I honestly believe that if I were allowed to take part in a 30 minute national, televised, live programme with any number of the opposition, I could destroy the fraud once and for all. It is so easy. The facts are all on our side.
Instead, the opposition was allowed to do its best to destroy my reputation and credibility by filling the mainstream media and the internet with lies. My Wikipedia page was altered beyond recognition – largely by an individual I and others suspect to be employed by the CIA. My income was (probably permanently) destroyed. My reputation was shredded in a way no celebrity has ever had to endure and I was so shattered that I found it difficult to leave the house.
The lies, the abuse and the threats were then taken up another notch by members of the opposition who began promoting an absurd, hypothesis that there are no germs, no infectious diseases and no immune systems. Many of the noisiest of this small but busy group didn’t bother offering any evidence, didn’t bother fighting the lies about the covid-19 jabs but simply claimed, without any evidence, that anyone who didn’t believe their nonsense must be ‘controlled opposition’ and must be silenced or killed. This nonsense, often deliberately promoted by people who also expressed the belief that the earth is flat and that we will all fall off the edge if we travel too close to the rim, had the desired twin effect of convincing the public and the medical profession that those of us questioning the fake pandemic, and also warning about the danger of social credit must also be insane.
Everything that has happened since the start of 2020 was always part of a cleverly planned media war.
The conspirators have deliberately destroyed literacy and numeracy. They created episodic television programmes and films to destroy` joined up’ thinking processes. They persuaded celebrities and doctors to endorse and promote the covid-19 jabs – even when the evidence showed clearly how damaging the useless jabs really were. In the UK they succeeded in persuading the public that the deliberately destroyed health service was working tirelessly to protect and care for the public. They persuaded people to have faith in the nanny state. They used tricks created by the CIA and the army.
And now, having deliberately forced up oil and gas prices with a designer war, they are buying people with subsidies and cash payments.
The bond that holds us together is the need to have a purpose and to be useful. The conspirators have deliberately removed that support. They have done everything they can to make everyone dependent on the state. They have created corrosive uncertainty and built an epidemic of depression and anxiety.
The law used to allow us to do things that were not prohibited. The spread of ill-defined rights (demanded by and designed for far left wing agitators) means that we no longer know what is permitted and what is banned until we are arrested. The twin principles of expecting intervention and blaming someone else when things don’t go smoothly have destroyed society. Absurd climate change enthusiasts (who are mentally ill and as dangerous as terrorists and should be locked up for our safety) are allowed to control political agendas with deadly and devastating effects.
The progress towards the society I described in my books Endgame and Social Credit: Nightmare on Your Street is rapid. Builders must now put bars on the windows of new houses. Huge commercial kitchens are being built so that flat dwellers can have all their meals prepared for them and delivered. Working from home is being promoted as a way to ensure that we stay imprisoned. Purpose built rental blocks are being built which contain within them space for organised and permitted socialising – and access to services (such as hairdressing and shoe repair) which might be considered essential.
Most people find it difficult to believe that bad people lie as much as they do.
And people conform because, as Joseph Schumpeter said: ‘Any deviating conduct by a member of a social group is condemned by the remaining members of the group’ and leads to ‘social ostracism’.
Ostracising those questioning the fraud has been arranged by the CIA, MI5, the 77th brigade, the mainstream media and by outrageous, insupportable bans and censorship organised by compliant public companies such as Wikipedia, Google, YouTube, Facebook, Twitter and PayPal.
We will soon be living in a version of the system of social credit which is now in place in China.
You might like to take a look at how that is going.
Wi-Fi sniffers, barcodes, smart phones, smart meters, apps and cameras (including infra-red cameras) watch every move by ‘citizens’ so that they can be punished and rewarded according to their behaviour. Everyone and everything will be controlled from birth to death. Private and public sectors are working together to spread surveillance technology.
Chinese towns are now little more than concentration camps.
We have until the end of the year to stop it happening to us.

Do you have too much stuff?
24TH SEPTEMBER 2022
Look around your house. How much stuff have you got that you don’t need? How much time and energy are you wasting looking after it and providing storage space for it? How much time are you wasting looking at and wondering if you’ll ever wear it again, find the manual or find the other bit that makes it work? How much of it could you sell? How much of it could you give away to your local charity shop? How much of it should you throw away? How much cleaner — and clearer — will your life be without all this unnecessary stuff?
Few people need a new car every two years. Most people have more pairs of shoes than they really need. Millions have electrical equipment they never use. Standard of living and quality of life aren’t the same thing but we confuse the two.
There have been more shopping malls than high schools in the USA for many years. Three quarters of people who go shopping are not looking for something in particular. They are simply out ‘shopping’.
We all need to get into the habit of asking ourselves why we buy the things we buy. This isn’t a judgemental question. But it’s a question well worth asking. How many jumpers do you really need? Why do so many people insist on having an entirely new outfit if they are planning to attend someone else’s wedding? The complaint ‘I don’t have a thing to wear’ has become a joke.
I know a handyman who earns his living painting, bricklaying and doing bits of carpentry. He’s a real jack-of-all-trades and he’s very good at what he does. But it’s difficult to get him to come and do anything because he only works two or three days a week. The rest of the time he messes around on his boat or in his garden.
A few months ago I asked him why he didn’t work harder.
He explained that he didn’t see any point in earning more money than he needed to satisfy his fairly simple needs. He told me that he has paid off his mortgage, that although old and rather battered, his car is his own and that he has all the furniture he wants. He has, he told me, managed to put aside a few hundred pounds in the building society for emergencies.
I asked him if his wife was happy with this philosophical approach to employment. He said that she was very happy and that they spent much of the week gardening together, walking along the cliffs or, on sunny days, bobbing around in their little boat. He also told me that he and his wife don’t have holidays away from home because for them home is a pretty constant holiday but that they do spend a day every month travelling to demonstrations against hunting, vivisection and other examples of cruelty to animals.
He also told me that because his earnings are low he pays hardly any income tax.
I found his attitude enormously refreshing. This local handyman is leading the life of a true revolutionary. I suspect that Henry David Thoreau, the philosopher of Walden Pond, would have been proud of him.
Before you dismiss the handyman’s lifestyle as impractical ask yourself how much of your life you spend earning money to buy things you don’t really need and are only buying to impress people you don’t really care about.
Here’s a simple little exercise you can try.
Make a list of everything other than food that you’ve bought in the last year. By the side of each item on your list make a note of the price you paid.
Then divide your after tax annual income by the number of hours you work to find out how much you earn an hour. Don’t forget to deduct any essential business expenses from your income before you do this calculation.
Now you can easily use this figure to find out how long you had to work to buy each of the items on your first list.
I have learned that knowing how much I earn per hour is extremely useful.
Get into the habit of thinking of the things you buy in terms of hours rather than pounds. If you buy a television set that costs £1,000 and you earn £10 an hour then the television set has cost you 100 hours.
If you buy a book for £10 and your income is £10 an hour then the book has cost you one hour.
Every time you spend money ask yourself how long you have had to work to pay for it.
How much of your life are you giving in order to buy a car with a three speed rear window wiper instead of one with a one speed rear window wiper? (That was the sole difference between two models of a car I once considered buying. The extra price was £500.)
This can be a frightening exercise for you’ll quickly realise that you’ve given a great deal of your life in order to buy junk that you don’t really need.
Add up the cost of all the unnecessary stuff you bought last year and work out how much of your life you wasted earning money to buy stuff that hasn’t improved or changed your life.
The whole point of modern advertising is to persuade people to buy things they don’t need; to turn shallow wants into desperate ‘must haves’.
It is skilful advertising which encourages otherwise sane people to spend a fortune on double glazing which will never pay for itself and to spend thousands of pounds ripping out a perfectly serviceable kitchen and replacing it with another slightly different kitchen.
And, of course, the more money you have to earn to buy all this stuff that you don’t really need the more income tax you will have had to pay.
If you are happy with the things the Government buys with your money then you won’t mind giving them great chunks of it. But are you really happy with what they do with it?
I’m not suggesting that the handyman’s life style is right for everyone.
But you might like to think about all this a little.
We live in a society which encourages the accumulation of goods: a smart, shiny motor car; a beautiful home; a wardrobe full of expensive, beautifully designed clothes — these are what we are encouraged to work towards.
If you are not careful the stuff you think you own could end up owning you. Our world has been taken over by a lot of materialistic, acquisitive nonsense. We buy coffee table books that no one ever reads, fancy toilet roll holders, lotions to make fat thighs thin, creams to make small breasts melon-sized and to make melon-sized breasts positively breath-taking and all sorts of other nonsenses. We buy things for the sake of buying. We buy presents that are neither beautiful nor useful.
Do not allow material possessions, belongings of any kind, to take over your life. Next time you are buying something other than an everyday item ask yourself if you are making the purchase because you want it or need it or because you have been persuaded to buy it by someone else — or, worse still, by Society. And then remember how many hours you have to work to earn that item.
And regularly take time to go through all your possessions and sort out those which you want to keep and those that you neither want nor need to keep. ‘Spring-cleaning’ your possessions has several advantages. It will enable you to see exactly what you have (you may be surprised to discover things you had forgotten you owned) and it will also enable you to convert unwanted items into cash. You will have more space available and you will be able to find and use the belongings which are left more easily and more effectively. Clear out the stuff you own at regular intervals and throw away everything which doesn’t add value to your life. If you haven’t used something or worn something for six or twelve months sell it or give it to a charity shop.
And always remember William Morris’s advice: ‘Have nothing in your home that you do not know to be useful or believe to be beautiful.’

I posted this on Dovers Cat and the lack of feedback over there is quite surprising to me.
I feel the issues this blog has flailed to consider when considering Trump and the current situation are as follows and in no particular order.
Why were EO 13818 and 13848 renewed in the (so called Biden administration) ?
Was the insurrection act signed during Trump administration? Is it still in enforcement?
Why did Trump visit DC recently to convey a personal message to the head of WH security?
If the Ukraine is a money laundering industrial complex (that we know it is) why aren’t US troops on the ground protecting their complex they created via a colour revolution in 2014 created via the likes of Victoria Nuland and Norm Eisen.? Compare the raids of Rodger Stone and the raid on Mar a Lago.
The media were media were there before the FBI rolled up in Stones case.
A black hat operation.
In the Mar a Lago instance the first person to alert the media to the raid was Donald Trump. About 9 hours after it commenced.
So that begs the question that it was a white hat operation. No media, no leaks.
Why did the FBI release pictures of documents from the raid?
Do they relate to the Iran nuclear deal ?
Why is a Time magazine cover in one of the pictures that also appeared in a Q post?
Why is Donald Trump and Kash Patel trolling the fake news media around Qposts?
They are doing it. And if you can’t see it well you’ll just have to pay a little bit more attention perhaps.
The biggest question is perhaps, the insurrection act.
Best wishes to y’all.

The revolutionary handyman, does he intend to put his hand in the public purse when he is no longer able to work?
Will he prop on the NHS when he is sick or injured?
With just a few hundred pounds in the bank and paying little or no tax it would seem so.

I don’t think that there’s any such animal as “global law”. The chap who was talking said that Australia’s laws with respect to industrial relations is much the same as other countries who also have mandatory jabbing regimes, so Australia’s determination could also be used elsewhere.
It will be interesting to see how it works out, I suspect that the end result is that an employer can’t sack an employee if he/she isn’t jabbed or boosted according to their company policy.
For example, if an employer told an employee that he/she has to have the jabs or boosters to continue in employment, and if the employee tells the doctor that he/she’s there under duress, i.e., in fear of losing their employment, then the doctor cannot give the injection.
The employer therefore cannot sack the unjabbed employee as it’s the doctor’s decision that the employee remains unjabbed.

The person receiving the injection, if they clearly stated that they are acting under duress, can charge the doctor with assault and the doctor would lose his license to practice.

It’s a bit too far for me to travel for a drink Johanna, I’m living in Western Australia these days. I lived in Canberra in the 70’s, and was also a frequent visitor in the 50’s and 60’s as I had grandparents living there.
I do go back from time to time as I have a daughter and grandchildren who now live there but I haven’t travelled much since the Great Pandemic of 2020.

Running a blog centred around the contentious things cats concern themselves with, but doing so without a prevalence of malice, is a huge achievement.

He sure did, there were times when I couldn’t travel within the state as people couldn’t travel from one region to another. When regional travel restrictions were lifted, it was possible to leave the state but you couldn’t come back in without being jabbed.
There were other times when I was forbidden to have a haircut or visit Mr. Murphy’s liquor emporium, it was all for my own good he assured me.

If you don’t already know, Harry has written a memoir which was due to be published in the next few months. He has already received half of a £35 million ($58.8 million) deal for this book. This was before the events of this month.
Now, Harry is in a panic and trying to make last-minute changes.

He is right about the “cowardly conservatives” who don’t want to call out the problems in society-related to gender and colour – because they are afraid of backlash and getting boycotted.
But if conservatives are willing to hang on through the backlash, they will find others from the team coming in to support them.

What about something you’ve had for 25+ years, didn’t know you had it till you opened some old box and saw it, and now it is too valuable to toss away.
Or, the week after you get rid of it, you will find that it was something useful, after all, and you shouldn’t have dumped it.:-)

custard, we have on this blog, a range of views about Donald Trump.
– There are some who like him, no matter what he does or says.
– Others who dislike him.
– And those who evaluate him based on each issue. Sometimes, he gets it right and sometimes he doesn’t.
Everyone is free to voice their opinion or have their rant.

If it only applies to cases from here on, it may be simple. However, there will be many questions and quite a task ahead for Fair Work Aus to deal with.
How are they going to handle cases where people lost their jobs because they were unwilling to get jabbed? Can they sue their employer for having sacked them? Will they get compensation?

Been taking the girl running most days during the school holidays. We did some spring work this arvo.
