Again from the Public Domain
Review, a fascinating piece about an early-20th-century scientist who tried to do
Marxist astronomy. Fittingly named Tony Pancake.
Robin & I are up chatting into the small hours - and in front of our eyes they get smaller! As it reaches 3am
early today, the 31st, we see our mobile phones & laptops magically click back to 2am. Of course government
takes priority over time & space.
October 30th; Saturday.
Article from 2020 - claims about earlier vaccine drives funded by Bill Gates.
October 29th; Friday.
Interesting parallels between a 2010 document and today's covid-19 scare.
October 28th; Thursday.
Trouble between the EU and Poland. Meanwhile Filmmaker Jessica kindly takes me to see the new version of
'Dune' in a half-empty cinema (more precisely
Dune 1 - it seems there will be two films, both shot partly in Hungary). As with the David Lynch version
I saw half a lifetime ago, it's the sand worms that fulfil the film's promise. Or rather, the
worms plus the musical score do the real work together. The overall recipe still Sinbad In Space.
October 27th; Wednesday.
Poignant set of articles about eccentrics and mavericks exploring Japan's forests for sightings of
Japanese wolves, supposedly extinct before World War 1. Japan clearly an odd place, highly
industrialised yet still 2/3 forest, where the probably extinct native wolf is revered as a
pagan
spirit
animal.

A student prompts me to look up the trailer for Hal Hartley's
'Simple Men' and
a well-written review of
the film from when it came out.
October 25th; Monday.
Lunch with Mark, Zoe, and Lucy in the region of Kalvin square. Among many other
topics we discuss the odd case in recent days of film actor
Alec
Baldwin accidentally
shooting the camerawoman dead on a film set,
probably due to the dumbness of the film's "armourer", who assured him the gun was safe and unloaded.
October 24th; Sunday.
Fascinating few hours with Tam in the Science Cave. His friend gives
a geopolitics presentation in French
& English to camera in one room while I fiddle amateurishly with a computer in the laboratory proper.
October 23rd; Saturday.
One of our contributors reports on Sweden (along with Denmark)
withdrawing the Moderna vaccine against covid-19 over health concerns.
October 22nd; Friday.
Ten days ago the Twitter account
CromwellStuff attempted to send out tweets
that Antarctica has just seen its coldest winter for decades. Apparently a
forbidden opinion on Twitter.
October 21st; Thursday.
Lucid overview from ten days ago on the fake energy crisis caused
by the ESG investment model.
October 20th; Wednesday.
I'm recommended to watch 'Princes
of the Yen', a quite interesting documentary
about the Japanese economy from WW2 to now. Fascinating detail on the 1980s property bubble and resulting
1990s recession.
October 19th; Tuesday.
A rather haunting image, a simple
collage, on the 'cosmic.nun' Instagram account.
October 18th; Monday.
Interesting talk explaining the term 'astroturfing' - a name for
the creation of fake "grass-roots" movements.
October 17th; Sunday.
At Filmmaker Jessica's, she shows me trailers for a 2019 film version of the stage musical
Cats (with James Corden "as a fat pussy"), early 1950s film
The Prisoner (the lead actor is Alec Guinness as Hungarian priest
Cardinal Mindszenty
in the 1940s), the creepy South Korean dystopian TV show
Squid Game, and
Gaslight (the 2nd 1940s film version with
Ingrid Bergman).
October 16th; Saturday.
Iceland halts Moderna vaccinations due to heart-inflammation concerns. Late-night wine & pizzas with Jessica and her thoughtful
nuclear engineer friend.
October 15th; Friday.
Intriguing short film (20 minutes) by a scriptwriting coach called Jack Grapes.
He says audiences want stories based on personal struggles
to redefine life, at least if I've understood him correctly.
October 14th; Thursday. Nifty
40-page report from the 1630s: 'A most certaine and true
relation of
a strange monster or serpent found in the left
ventricle of the heart of John Pennant, Gentleman,
of the age of 21 yeares'. Via the
Public Domain Review.
October 13th; Wednesday.
US Senator pointing out that compulsory vaccination doesn't match with pharmaceuticals being granted
immunity from prosecution.
October 12th; Tuesday.
Vaccinated 28-year-old woman MP collapses in Austrian
Parliament during a speech in which she was apparently advocating vaccinating children
against covid-19. Meanwhile Japanese nationalists celebrate
Otoya Yamaguchi Day, to mark
a 17-year-old killing Japan's Socialist Party leader in 1960. "Right wing" in the Wikipedia
article is wrong of course - nationalists sat on the left of the French National
Assembly in 1789, not the right. Yet more internecine left-wing violence, nationalist against
socialist, relabelled by liars on the left as not their work.
October 11th; Monday.
Fabulously dated-looking mid-60s pervert shocker movie with Bond-style theme tune, 'Who
Killed Teddy Bear?' Perhaps worth seeing - even
the poster is unmistakeably of its time.
October 10th; Sunday.
A weblog discusses globalist pressure to impose unnecessary
vaccine passes as conditions for
normal life (going into shops, catching trains, entering museums, gyms, cafes).
October 9th; Saturday.
Rather good short history article from 7 years ago about the heyday of
high-speed mail coaches in
Britain in the late 18th and early 19th centuries.
October 8th; Friday.
The French version of the intended
world identity card.
October 7th; Thursday.
Some elegant, or at least austere, ceramic art:

A consciously liberal Twitter account, of someone appalled by covid-19 authoritarianism:
James Melville.
October 5th; Tuesday.
A couple of days ago, several Facebook-related apps and related bits of the internet went
down or slowed down. Speculation immediately started that this was the next aspiring
world-government power grab after the imminent failure of the climate-warming and covid-19
gambits. After dusk Victoria drops
by. She, Robin, & I natter into the small hours, putting the world to rights.
October 4th; Monday.
From a couple of months ago, a speech by a politician in the Dutch Parliament setting out the
globalist
passport project that motivated the dishonestly hyped covid-19 scare.
October 3rd; Sunday.
Wake up on Jessica Filmmaker's cream-coloured sofa. Last night she threw a party and we watched
two films on her big screen television. Both movies were really about innocence.
Pee Wee's Big Adventure (1985), which I'd never seen, is really a film about
adults behaving like six-year-olds. Pee Wee is a true naif, blithely in love with his fancy
bicycle and utterly devastated when it is stolen from him. He goes on a big mission across the
United States to find and reunite with his beloved velocipede. Various other characters, such
as the girl at the bicycle shop hopelessly and secretly in love with him, are also small children
inside the bodies of adults. Some remarkable moments.
Spinster (2019) is a
very low-key dry comedy about a woman in her 30s being nagged into getting married.
October 2nd; Saturday.
Our contributor Tyler Durden discusses India's use of ivermectin, which
turns out (what a surprise) to be
effective against covid-19 after all.
October 1st; Friday.
An old 1980s New Scientist interview with
David Bohm.
