Obvallated oakus: oppignorating ourselves...


2.5 trillion. Two point five TRILLION. That is now the UK national debt. No matter that we see chronic wastage everywhere: on Net Zero (Milliband brothers clown show), IT failures, Quantative Easing, Bank bailouts, HS2, Furlough (yes, we won't forget), Track and Trace, (is Hancock in gaol?), more levels of government, more expenses, more overpaid shysters, etc, etc...etc (and NO it has nothing to do with Liz ousted-in-a-soft-coup Truss). [edit: Every WEEK the interest is 100 billion...Every. Week. ] Sorry: Last year debt interest was 100 billion. 
"In the time it takes you to read this sentence, the national debt has increased by more than £20,000."
Or almost 16 million quid per HOUR. The UK debt clock can be see HERE and I recall when it passed one trillion; yes, at 16 minutes past five in the afternoon of 17th Jan 2011 to be exact; how can I be so sure? Because I blogged an update back then. 

The Tax Payer's Alliance have relaunched their "ticking debt clock! 15 years after our original ground breaking campaign publicising the extent of the UK’s national debt." Yippee! 

Searching through the archives it isn't hard to see where the problem began to skyrocket, although to be clear it is decades of red and blue and all governments are to blame. It is just a shame The Guardian have removed all the comments (OK, it is 11 years ago - ahem - but I would have liked to have reread an Old Ows opinion and my 'highly recommended' points: presumably NOT as petty as this: 

"What irritated me was that in the image [...] they had squeezed the picture of [Gordon] Brown far to the left making him appear over only those 'good' years of surplus (which was when, as we all know, he followed Conservative spending plans) and have the picture of Darling spread over most of the Crash Gordon years and we ALL now know, and it isn't hard to see, that Britain's debt soared from 2000 and Brown was to blame. It is petty things like the positioning of the Chancellors' pictures that annoy me (yes, yes, OK, I'm small minded and petty when it comes to Gordon Brown). 

Yes, despite the Conservatives not helping (Blue Labour) I still blame New Labour (Blair, Brown et el...) and you won't change my mind.

Anyway, you may have heard of the Big Mac Index, well the UK national debt (at this moment in time...on no, now it's gone up...and using the World Population Clock) could buy 72 Big Macs, for each and every single living person on the planet...yes, that's the reason for the image above :-)

Oratory of obfuscation...obviously...


Yes I am a bit behind but that's what happens when you're a working day behind, although Twitter helps. Kier Starmer could have made it, he could have built on the [nauseatingly] choreographed 'hit the ground running' start to his PM-ship but he blew it big time; in the most obvious and predicted way (by just about everyone with their 'buzz word bingo card' handy, I was correct on a couple of the main points). 

It is exactly as Frank Haviland says in his latest article on The New Conservative: Starmer Picks a Side.

"...Starmer who has painted himself as the leader for our times would surely have brought his finest pallette and brush to the lectern? Certainly, he did. And no doubt for the faithful, his painting by numbers routine did the job." For those of us on the other side of the political divide however – the tens of millions of small ‘c’ conservative, closed-borders fetishist, ‘far-right’ thugs, with ridiculous aspirations that our daughters might be permitted to live – his performance was even worse than expected. [my emphasis]
"Rather than oratory for the ages, I’d call this dereliction of duty – a textbook display of obfuscation, memorable only for what was not said, rather than that which was. There was no mention of ‘children’, ‘protection’, ‘border security’, ‘failed multiculturalism’ or ‘integration’. The idea that this speech will install calm, reassure the public, or prevent future atrocities is about as close to zero as you can get. This was about Starmer doing what he does best: reassuring those who vote the right way, and blaming the response to crime, rather than the crime itself."
And like Frank writes to summarise, many I predicted that 'Labour’s honeymoon would be short-lived' – "it’s now officially over." Spot on.

Silkie Carlo, Director of Big Brother Watch said:
"It’s deeply worrying that the Prime Minister totally failed to address the causes of the violent, racist thuggery we have witnessed in Britain this week, let alone his failure to even address the causes of the heinous knife crime that has cruelly taken so many lives. To promise the country ineffective AI surveillance in these circumstances was frankly tone deaf and will give the public absolutely no confidence that this government has the competence or conviction to get tough on the causes of these crimes and protect the public."

Obverting ordurification...


Okay, you may struggle with the meaning of ordurification, mainly because I just made it up, as one can do with flexible languages: what led me to use it was Robert Malone's (yes that one) The "Great Reset" is accelerating "The Great Enshittening".[LINK

If you don't want to know about the meaning of the word, the integration of Diversity, Equity, Inclusion [DEI must DIE!] and 'The Great Reset' etc., then you can jump using THIS LINK to the relevant point of the article: the computer crash Crowdstrike clusterfuck and the whole Democrat, DNC, Trump. Russia collusion, voting machine manipulation conspiracy cluster comes back into focus. 

Perfect timing. And who's to say the whole Trump assassination attempt isn't tightly interwoven.

For subscriber's to Robert's Substack he follows that with a great essay that is well worth your time: Harold Robertson's Complex Systems Won’t Survive the Competence Crisis (Published by Palladium Magazine June 1, 2023 [LINK]); it begins: "At a casual glance, the recent cascades of American disasters might seem unrelated."...
The path of least resistance will be the devolution of complex systems and the reduction in the quality of life that entails.

Otiose oppression of oncoming Oval Office occupant...


Not late to this just not 'on the blog' and reading a million pieces on the biggest news for ages (and not watching football either)... "Had Trump not turned his head at the last millisecond, the bullet would have gone right through his head.

"Trump Must be Stopped, They Said. Notable are the calls to "stop Trump by any means" that came from the highest level of our political decision-making" [Igor's Substack

"Initial media reports included many ridiculous headlines – the worst of them this utter failure by CNN" ("Secret Service rushes Trump off stage after he falls at rally") [eugyppius: a plague chronicle]. 

He also mentions the VARIOUS outlets with an obviously coordinated and insanely ridiculous 'loud noises' headlines [DogeDesigner shows more]. The fact that it was so obviously coordinated after such an event is more sinister IMHO. 

And, mirroring the shite that happens after every Muslim terrorist event (no, obviously NOT saying it was that!) we see the lefty arseholes spouting that the big problem now will be retaliation from the Right [Tim Graham on Twitter on the CBS cunty shit-stirrers] "On CBS, Margaret Brennan and Samantha Vinograd talk up "retaliatory violence" from right-wingers, and then we hear of January 6. Knew this line was coming....". 

And last but not least today's Must Reads form The Naked Emperor: Trump Assassination Attempt Special

The lefty media (most of MSM) and their followers really are complete fucking wankers. Hoping this has decided the POTUS election once and for all. The TDS sufferers must be on Plan F by now.

Plus HTF did this happen anyway? Total and incredible incompetence of the security, or complicity? There are no other alternatives. 

[Update] LOL; trying to show (not hard to do) just how fucking nauseating, and bias, and crap the MSM are; and not even one of the Elon parody accounts:

Obtenebrate overview of oncoming oneirodynia...


The main bit I did miss out in my last post (well I hope that is a misnomer!), not intentionally nor through any sense of not wanting to tar a certain community, was the rise of the religious faction politically. Yes, that community, and the sad day's anniversary when four 'ordinary British citizens' got excited, is just a coincidence. No, really. 

The Frank Report, as well as a good all round humorous overview of the election, says this:
 
"Least reported (quelle surprise) was the Muslim vote, which has now firmly breached the surface and looks set to disavow its parasitic dependence on Labour. While not quite as influential as predicted, this should worry everyone. Although there is a certain delicious irony watching those who lit the multicultural fuse coming face-to-face with the consequences. Misandrist hags like Jess Phillips, who narrowly held onto her Birmingham Yardley seat after a challenge from a ‘pro-Gaza’ candidate (as I believe the euphemism currently goes)..." ...there's more. 

He's right. This SHOULD worry everyone, but look over there...a squirrel!

Ocracy obiter...


Had enough yet? All the banal claptrap spewing from the main stream media? Back in the day I would have written a dozen posts on the UK General Election , now others do it all and much better than yours truly. 

It is also interesting to note that the core of the Substack's I read, completely understand what has just happened. And what didn't happen. The Naked Emperor asks you to Meet the New Boss...The Bad Cat ("the fall of the center right and why you should be glad"), who also quotes eugyppius: "The centre-right is dying a slow death. It is an epochal change for politics across the West.

All great and informed reads. "The Uniparty is dead, long live the Uniparty". Not bad for a bunch of foreigners ;-) 

  • Lowest combined vote share of Conservatives and Labour for over 100 years. 
  • Lowest number of Conservative Party seats won for TWO hundred years. 
  • Labour got fewer votes than under Jeremy 'worst result since the 30s' Corbyn in [edit 1800hrs]: 2019 They "won just 33.8% of the vote, far less than Jeremy Corbyn’s 40% when he lost to Theresa May in 2017 and just 1.7% up on Corbyn’s 2019 loss to Boris Johnson." (but 209 more seats: 411 total). 
  • Lib Dems (not Liberal or Democrat) got fewer votes than under great-norks Swinson (oooh matron) in 2019 (but 61 more seats: 71 total). 
  • Farage (Reform UK) once again, repeating the Brexit party success, got 4 million votes (3rd largest number) but only 4 (FOUR) seats.

Opposition opening...


Yes, I am still alive; yes I wish I was blogging more. And yes there will be an opening for some decent U.K. Parliament 'Opposition' soon. It is simply too boring these days to get wound up about the tsunami of shit we are being asked to swallow or at least wade it. Today we can be pretty sure of one thing, Conservatives will be in opposition. 

Anyhoo...I discovered a new website (it may NOT be new, I mean I only just found it): The New Conservative where Alastair MacMillan writes about there being more reasons not to vote for the current shite outfit. In the 'About' page is exactly what I wish 'The Conservative Party' were (who are not conservative, Conservative or even remotely 'right wing'): 
  • Government’s first duty to protect the citizenry 
  • Unequivocal freedom of speech 
  • Border control Fiscal responsibility 
  • The state as servant, not master 
  • The law applied without fear or favour 
  • Low taxes 
  • An end to grooming gangs & their cover-ups 
  • A robust response to charlatan wokery 
  • Economic stability before Green virtue-signalling 
Look at that! Hoorah! I could add a few things - e.g. en end to postal votes except for the previous sensible exemptions [military, disabled...] but what a start, actually being what the blue wing of the Uniparty should be.

Oppressed obedience...


Great article from the bad cat: [LINK
how we got to here 
how moral relativism destroyed sanity and how objectivity can bring it back [sic] 

"all this division and vilification and rage farming is coming from somewhere, and it really is new over the last 15 years or so."
"it's an iterative negative sum game where to stay on top, you always need to be "more oppressed than thou" and so it rapidly selects for the most broken, damaged, and bereft people and shunts them to the top by acting as though they are somehow virtuous for being disastrous human failures."
  i mean, how can that possibly end save the calamity of rule by the mentally ill?

Obscurantism: othering others II...


A quick follow up on yesterday re the Google AI project Gemini. It isn't only grossly racist, surprise surprise it is also a lefty twat censorship monster. 

It is patently a danger to freedom of speech and most definitely a censorship mis/disinformation beast: look at the Twitter thread from Texas Lindsay. It is also obvious that this is not a bug but a feature.

"Google’s Gemini AI isn’t just bias, it’s broken. Its responses are extremely offensive & arguably slanderous at times. Today, I tested it using it the exact same prompt each time, only changing names & these were the results." [sic]
That is the most obvious one but ALL are just as biased. Apologies if you do not follow politics across the pond.

Google's AI principles say that [2023 PDF] AI should avoid creating or reinforcing unfair bias, also not to deceive users or misrepresent facts. Gemini itself says it is unable to generate responses that are biased or unfair...not working out too well, certainly the bias and censorship is a clear and present danger to any fair-minded person.

Othering others...


"The nightmare feeling caused by the disappearance of objective truth." 
Othering others, "WTF?!" would be a normal reaction. But oh my fucking GOD this is worse: Google are very, very dangerous, evil fuckwits. "Don't be evil" has become 'we are the definition of evil and fuck you whitey'. They are far more than Big Brother [quote above from this link, added 1600hrs] ever was, they have literal global cover, immense power. Their Gemini/AI is really scary. [Link to Twitter]
