FISH

 

This used to be a country Texas blog, so what happened? Got diverted by geostrat above my paygrade and egregious liturgical and doctrinal abuse. Hey, easy ongoing target, but what about all that country life? To be honest, I live it daily and like it a lot, so much better than the "Spawl, but you gotta focus.

To that end or τέλος we loaded up the rig with a couple of rods and headed out to the lake. Would the fish bite or would they not? Perennial question. Dam straight they bit, Bluegill after Bluegill, I lost count, just a whole lot of fish.

Didn't keep any, too small, those kids went back to fight again another day. And what a good morning, by the water, on the fish and lots of action, albeit small fish on a light rod. Good for mind, body and soul. Then it was back to the Compound for chicken thighs on the grill and could white wine. Hey, all's right with the world. 

And now? Grilled chicken, the dinner of winners.

GONE

 

Britain's most hated Prime Minister in the history of history has resigned. Two-Tier Kier, 2TK, announced his resignation this morning from the steps of 10 Downing Street and the free world heaved a sigh of relief. 

What a disastrous mountebank who famously hounded veterans in court, as a hobby, took away pensioners' winter fuel allowance, tried to tax farmers out of existence, had people arrested for having the brazen, literal temerity to complain on the internet about imported head-chopping savages. The same 2TK who did his worst to wreck UK energy independence with idiotic and corrupt Net Zero climate cultism, all the while importing thousands of Moslem votes into a country the size of a shoebox. Don't you dare complain, serfs.

Wow, the list goes on and on. What gets me, as a loyal expat, is the betrayal of a great country by the people who lead it. In this case, by a gang of 1980s Student Union commies who hate their country, its people, its past and its heritage. No wonder, punters, that the British Army, Navy and Air Force are hollowed out simulacra of what they once were. No point in defending an island you despise, is there, when the cash to do so can be spent on importing foreign votes. The votes of people who scorn your country's culture almost as much as you do yourself.

Mini rant over, let's return to 2TK. He's gone or outgoing. Who will replace this unparalleled, unpopular buffoon? Evidently some leftist grifter from Wigan called Andy Burnham. Expect more of the same with, perhaps, a smiley face. So there we have it, unless a snap election's called the UK's left with the Nu-Left 'til the '29 election. A lot can happen in those years, no doubt about it.

Who did this? 😂 pic.twitter.com/dgUS0lgtAm

Perhaps, US friends, you're a little baffled by UK politics, understandably. Look at it this way: imagine Kamala had won. Same playbook entirely, but with vastly more cash. We dodged that bullet. Good luck, UK.

Just Some Song

 

Europoors will hate this.

So what'd it take to liberate the UK from Rainbow Commie Tyranny. Look at you, Brits, being arrested for hurty words on the internet and lying down in pathetic, subservient compliance. Look at you, Left, you utter hypocrites, locking people up in the name of tolerance. You total, utter frauds.

OK, so maybe the UK's sunk beneath the waves of a rainbow caliphate. Problem. Solution? Launch USMC at the Sceptered Isle. Reliable sources tell me more than a few members of UKLF would support such a thing when they're not busy bulling boots.

Happy Juneteenth!

 

Happy Juneteenth, punters. How are you celebrating this great feast of freedom, a holiday second perhaps to Kwanza itself. With fried chicken, yum, fall-off-the-bone tender ribs, spit roast cat and all of that? I hope not, because it's Friday and we don't eat meat on Friday, being Christians.

Weird, isn't it, how Protestants mostly look down upon or ignore fasting when it's right there in the Bible, as in Christ Himself does it and commends it. Huh, I guess some parts of Sola Scriptura are more sola than others. Fasting and solas aside, here at the Compound we're enjoying this jolly old Juneteeth by looking out on our Old Adversary the Weather from the safety of the front porch. And what do we see?

Typical Texan Porch Scene

Glowering clouds, a chill breeze, rain, and the dull rumble of thunder. Yes, a storm's threatening to blow in from the West, and for a moment it looked like we were in for a tornado, the air was turning green. But the threat has passed, for now.

Time, then, to break out champagne and smoked salmon (does this somehow count as fasting? Ed.) as we dare our Ancient Enemy, the Weather, to do its worst on this joyous day of liberation. Speaking of which, d'ye not think it about time for the US to reposition a Carrier Group into the English Channel and liberate the UK?

Random Infographic

C'mon, it wouldn't be hard, it's not as though the Sceptered Isle has a Navy, Army or Air Force. Way easier than, say, the Straits of Hormuz, and we'd be welcomed as liberators. Maybe next year, on this sacrosanct day, Juneteenth.

Is Anglicanism Utterly Doomed

 

I say again, people pretending to be something they don't believe in anyway, in this case priests and deacons at the altar celebrating the Eucharist. Anglicanism or the Anglosphere's embraced this, see the once patrician Episcopal Church, the venerable if dying Church of England and the tiny Churches of Wales, Scotland, New Zealand and Australia.

All of them locked into a spasm of 1980s Student Union righteousness, which curiously enough doesn't appeal to the Gen. Pop. So is Anglicanism dead, locked into a double-down Leftist death dive? Sure looks that way, Rudi Dutschke's Long March Through The Institutions, not least the Church seems to have reached apogee, see photo above. And guess what? Trad opposition to Cultural Marxist takeover has failed, in mainstream Anglicanism, which now marches merrily to the beat of a rainbow drum. 

Well that's not gay

Wow, a whole denomination, the world's third largest, hollowed out by the Frankfort School and its descendants. Is it utterly doomed? Yes, insofar as anyone or anything which goes against the Holy Spirit will be relentlessly destroyed by that same Spirit. But not so fast.

There are islands of faithful Churchmen in our present sea of apostasy who uphold the Faith and Order of the Church as given to us by Christ Himself. The Diocese of Fort Worth is one of them, right here in North Central Texas, so is St. Peter's London Docks, in Wapping, England, and many others. The Faith, even amidst egregious Anglican chicanery and apostasy hasn't died out.

Typical Brompton Oratory Scene

It never will, the gates of Hell shall not prevail. That said, are we approaching the time when the various Churches of the Reformation stutter, die and fold into the greater thing? That Thing being  Rome. Think about it.

Iran War - Success or Failure?

 

So here we are with a Memo of Understanding, MOU. According to The Kobeissi Letter the MOU includes 14 key terms:

1. The US, Iran, and their allies agree to immediately and permanently end military operations on all fronts, including in Lebanon

2. The US and Iran agree to respect each other's sovereignty and territorial integrity and not interfere in each other's internal affairs

3. The US and Iran commit to negotiating and reaching a final deal within 60 days, unless mutually extended

4. The US will begin removing its naval blockade immediately and fully end the blockade within 30 days

5. Iran will use its best efforts to ensure safe passage for commercial vessels through the Strait of Hormuz for 60 days with no charge

6. The US and regional partners will develop a mutually agreed plan of at least $300 billion for Iran's reconstruction and economic development

7. The US will work toward terminating all types of sanctions against Iran, including UN, IAEA, primary, and secondary sanctions

8. Iran reaffirms that it will not procure or develop nuclear weapons and agrees to address its enriched material stockpile under IAEA supervision

9. Until a final deal is reached, Iran will maintain the current status quo of its nuclear program, while the US will impose no new sanctions and deploy no additional forces

10. The US Treasury will issue waivers for Iranian crude oil, petroleum products, derivatives, and associated banking, insurance, and transportation services

11. The US will make frozen or restricted Iranian funds and assets fully available for use

12. The US and Iran will establish an executive mechanism to monitor implementation of the MOU and future compliance with the final deal

13. After signing the MOU and implementing key ceasefire, blockade, shipping, oil waiver, and asset-release provisions, the US and Iran will begin final deal negotiations

14. The final deal will be endorsed by a binding UN Security Council resolution

 

Social media's been pretty brutal. How is Iran getting 300BN, right to levy tolls on shipping after 60 days, unfrozen assets, sanctions release and various waivers not a US/Israel surrender? Good question. My take, for what little it's worth, is that EL SENOR and Bibi thought they could decapitate the head of the snake swiftly and the Mullahs would fall. But they didn't, annoyingly, and an uneasy stand-off ensues.

Have we gained anything by this maritime Persian adventure? Killed some bad guys, there is that, but what else. Maybe there's a neat geostrat hack that I'm not getting which justifies the whole thing. Hope so, but in the meanwhile feel free to weigh in: Iran War - Good/Bad, Success/Failure or somewhere in between.

Cat Trapping

 

Lo and behold, all these cute kittens! No, not so cute when they're feral and in your church hall, living it up and full of spitting fury when you try and catch 'em. Right, nightmare. Solution? Catch the wild kittens and send them on to another compound. How?

Call up Animal Services, borrow a couple of traps from Austin and some heavy duty gloves. Lay the traps in the church hall, baited with Feisty Kitten, which is like Cat Crack, no kidding, they love it. OK, rock on, catch your first cat. Well done, you're a Cat Trapper. Nice, but what about the rest?

They didn't want to go anywhere near the cage we'd laid out for them, Feisty Kitten notwithstanding, no, they were hunkered down like sleeper cell Jihadis and we had to pry those little furies out. How? Here:

Coax Mama cat into the kitten space (church hall)

Wait, as kittens and Mama get frisky

Remove Mama (let her out the door)

Watch through the miracle of phone technology as the kittens circle the trap, enter it and... close the deal. Well done team, take a feral cat award each. Seriously, no small thing. If you doubt me, try catching one with your hands; no, fool, wear heavy duty gloves, they're fierce, very.

End of story: We caught those cats, all three of them, and they're fixing to go to a friend's compound tomorrow. WE WILL NOT DO THIS AGAIN.

Cheers,

LSP

RIP Micky Mann

A friend died the other day and I mourned his passing, Micky Mann, sound engineer and ex-EOD, though not for very long, he thought it "dangerous." Whatev, I remember asking him at the Duke of York on Grays Inn Road, now the hideously anemic Clerk & Well, what some song sounded like. He replied, "Like a manta ray, hovering about 50 meters above the floor. A deep red." Thanks, fella, now we know. What a great guy, here's an obit:

A talented sound engineer and producer from Aberdeen who toured the world with various famous faces has died at the age of 65.

Mickey Mann was born in June 1960 and raised in the Kennethmont area, attending the Gordon Schools as a child.

His mother’s side of the family were from Huntly, while his dad grew up in Torry.

At age 16, Mickey started working at Royal Cornhill Hospital where he met two psychiatric nurses, Colin Angus and Will Sinnott, who would ultimately change his life.

The duo went on to form electronic dance band The Shamen in 1985 and invited Mickey to join them on tour. This is where he discovered his “ear” for music and started his career as Mr Mann.

“He walked into it with no training,” his sister Jane Mann told The Press and Journal.

“He was a natural talent, Mickey had an ear for being a sound engineer and a producer.”

Mickey Mann toured the world

Mickey lived and worked in Aberdeen for several years in the 70s and 80s – and then went on to tour the world.

“He worked his way up,” Jane said. “After a few months in the army at 15 he went on to work at Cornhill.

“He worked his way round different wards at the hospital, but mainly with psychiatric patients.

“Mickey always cared about people.”

He remained generous throughout his music career, even helping a band he met in the pub record their first album for free.

“He got on with everybody,” Jane added.

Mickey took on the role of manager for The Shamen, best known for hit song Ebeneezer Goode, and booked Orbital as their support act for a gig.

He went on to become their “third member” and worked with the electronic music duo, featuring brothers Phil and Paul Hartnoll, for 20 years.

Decades working as Mr Mr Mann

Mickey’s music career spanned decades and involved him working as a producer, manager and songwriter.

At one stage, he was considered the “third best sound engineer in the world”.

“He worked with so many artists and bands,” his sister Jane said.

“And he was always off somewhere, I remember him calling me from Prince’s house in the US once.

“Mickey worked with Kylie, toured with Nirvana for six months and Moby for years, and he was on Top of the Pops.

“He would have had thousands of stories to share.”

In more recent years, Mickey has battled a number of illnesses which forced him to step away from music.

He suffered a heart attack on June 3 and died in hospital in London on June 9.

 

I tell you, he was one of a kind. Rest in peace, Micky,

Extinction Event

 

Everyone knows that fragile planet earth was in the grip of an Ice Age some 14,000 years ago. It was terrible, everything was frozen and icy. Then someone forgot to pay their carbon tax and everything started to defrost, all that ice began to melt. Happy days for Megafauna and the Clovis people in North America. But then, at around 12,800 years ago everything changed.

The ice returned, it grew back, and the Megafauna and Clovis people disappeared. Why, what caused this extinction and drastic change in temperature in what the boffins call "The Younger Dryas"? Good question. What we know is this: There's a layer of soot, the Black Mat, rich in nano diamonds, spherules and platinum which can be found all around the world. 

Below this layer we find Clovis points and Megafauna remains, after it we don't, they died off. What caused the sudden drop in temperature, with its sudden die-off and tell-tale soot layer? Extreme heat, as in a comet which airburst over North America and beyond, catastrophically igniting vegetation and plunging the earth into what we'd now call a nuclear winter.

That's one take on the Younger Dryas, the one I prefer, but others say it's all about currents of water in the Atlantic. Feel free to believe that kids, there's no rule, but you'd better explain that multi-continental layer of soot curiously washed ashore by "ocean currents." Your argument's not only boring, it's wrong, sort of thing. But what am I saying.

Everyone knows the continent-wide extinction was brought on by Vatican II (empty the pew) and the Anglosphere's gleeful acceptance of wymxn priestesses. Seriously though, why do you not think God won't send a massive rock from space to end our current degeneracy?     You understand the parable.

COEXIST

 

Do you remember those annoying COEXIST bumper stickers? Sure you do, along with their vapid dropped-on-head-as-infant assumption, if only we could all agree to get along then there'd be world peace. Behold 2000 years of Western thought devolve to the level of a Miss World contest. And the problem with this is that it's utterly wrong. 

There are, unfortunately, bad actors running around; Jihad head-chopping third world savages can't coexist with civilized people. Kali worshipping Thugs can't coexist with people who believe murder sacrifice to a demon is a bad thing. Suttee widow burning can't ride alongside Christian people who value life, and neither can a Moloch worshipping culture of death.

You get the point, COEXIST has great rainbow pony potential and's guaranteed popular with every 16 year old girl or Bristol U undergrad, but it's rubbish. All religions, cultures and people aren't the same, they're often diametrically opposed. So when you throw them together what happens?

Belfast wakes up to an eye-gouging beheader Sudanese savage. Austin Metcalf gets stabbed in the heart at a sports event in Dallas. 13% of our US population commits what, 50 or 60% of violent crime, maybe more. Lee Rigby, remember him?, gets beheaded/macheted in greater London and on.

Point being, diversity is not our strength, unity is, unity around what's good, right and true. COEXIST doesn't give us that, but the Faith which built Europe and it's colonies, the Anglosphere, does. The West has effectively rejected that since at least 1945 and look where it's got us. Nowhere good and it'll surely get worse. Time to correct that.

Let's Send Help To Ireland

 

Leftists have to be confused. On the one hand, their sacred cow Irish resistance fighters are activating and burning stuff down, and on the other, the target's another sacred rainbow cow, people of color (POC). Tricky, isn't it, and perhaps you see the dilemma. (Are you absolutely sure about this? Ed.) As in, "Here's all these people we support attacking all these people we support." Pan to short circuiting Frankfort School brain pans.

So what to do? Deploy water canon etc to wash the revolting people off the streets of Belfast, all the while telling the world that "violence isn't the answer." But how can it not be when elected rulers ignore the will of the people, it's not as though the ballot box has done them any favors.

To put it bluntly. No one voted for hordes of head chopping welfare immigrants to flood our towns and cities, quite the opposite in the UK, see BREXIT, yet here we are. And here they are, trying to chop peoples' heads off. No wonder, then, that the natives are revolting, what other choice do they have? Voting doesn't work, clearly.

So what does. Force, and I'll wager the monkey that the UK doesn't have the budget for that. Here in the US? You'll note we shut the border down  in short order. Put an end to the imported vote spigot, and quite right too. UK rulers aren't about to do that, at least not yet, they understand their old constituency, white and working class, hates them. So replace them. 

Thus runs the logic 'til you've got a full-scale insurrection on your hands and no army to back you up. And let's face facts, the UK doesn't have a meaningful military force at present, and would even the few that remain kill their friends and relatives in defense of the risible rallying cry "diversity is our strength"? No, of course not, who would.

Forgive the ramble, but let's see how things turn out in Ireland. I call canary in coal mine.

Best,

LSP
