The Morning Report

The Morning Report — 9/9/22

Good morning kids. At the turn of the last century, the saying went "The sun never sets on the British Empire." Barely a decade into that century, one that began with such promise for perhaps the greatest flourishing of human and societal advancement, Sir Edward Grey on the eve of the Great War, now known as the First World War, uttered the prophetic words to a friend "The lamps are going out all over Europe, we shall not see them lit again in our lifetime."

Yesterday, after nearly a thousand years, the sun has indeed set on the British Empire, and the lamps are indeed going out all over Europe – quite literally as well as figuratively. By extension, the passing of Queen Elizabeth is the stark delineation of a fin de siècle. The decline and fall of the American experiment is the prime example. The blinkered, philistine pig-ignorance of savages dressed up in the robes of enlightenment are dancing and defecating on her grave before she's even cold, yet haven't the foggiest notion in their pea-sized brains that were it not for England, the standard-bearer of Judeo-Christianity and western enlightenment, they'd still be swinging from the trees, picking nits out of their hair or clubbing each other to death to see who gets to control a termite mound. That is, if they weren't busy being raped, beheaded or sold into slavery by the practitioners of the Religion of Peace™.

The problem with human history is that we cannot go back in time and rewrite it to suit our own tastes and desires. It does not move in a linear path and when it advances, it does so in fits and starts. Yet, in spite of our own record of horrendous behavior to our fellow man, it does advance. The irony of those who rail against our collective past sins is that they refuse to recognize that the very reason they are able to thump their baloney-nippled transexual soy chests is because of the free and open society that we, our parents and grandparents shed real blood to create and defend. They are hell bent on taking us back to the very dark ages they accuse us of creating. In every field of endeavor, the arts and sciences, our advancement and achievements, the greatest of which is individual human freedom, is to be sacrificed on the altar of madness, ignorance and hatred. The prime example of the latter is self-hatred. That's at the heart of it all, I suppose. But I digress.

Whatever one felt about the concepts of monarchy, or of the foibles of the royal family as well as that of Blighty itself these past 70 years, Queen Elizabeth was always there and represented stability, whether we recognized it or not. Her passing, especially given the times we live in, is a cold slap of reality that the way of life that we perhaps took for granted as something that no matter what would always be there, won't.

The lamps are going out all over the world, now. Elizabeth in her way was at least symbolically one of them. Will we allow that light from her generation, dwindling in numbers and brightness with each passing day, to be extinguished?

As Winston Churchill intoned on the eve of the Battle of Britain,

Upon this battle depends the survival of Christian civilization. Upon it depends our own British life, and the long continuity of our institutions and our Empire. The whole fury and might of the enemy must very soon be turned on us. Hitler knows that he will have to break us in this Island or lose the war. If we can stand up to him, all Europe may be free and the life of the world may move forward into broad, sunlit uplands. But if we fail, then the whole world, including the United States, including all that we have known and cared for, will sink into the abyss of a new Dark Age made more sinister, and perhaps more protracted, by the lights of perverted science. Let us therefore brace ourselves to our duties, and so bear ourselves that, if the British Empire and its Commonwealth last for a thousand years, men will still say, “This was their finest hour.”

When you consider who and what we are up against, in our own country and indeed all over whatever is left of the free world such as it is, Churchill's words are absolutely spot on in the here and now.

Rest in Peace, Elizabeth II.

11 I've got nothing to say about HM Queen Elizabeth that others haven't said more eloquently than I can.

JJ, your quoting Sir Edward Gray is, as our Brit cousins say, 'spot on.' It took a long time for Edward VII to come to the throne, but he at least was a conscientious monarch who loved the Empire. Charles III is a dithering, pampered, pompous fool.

If there is any silver lining to be seen (funny that I, of all people, would say that) it is that the British monarch really has no political power save that granted by Parliament. Charles may be a disaster, but he alone can't take down England.

One wonders if there will ever be a William V.

41 "At least one subpoena was marked by the name of fraud-focused D.C. federal prosecutor’s name, according to NYT. Moreover, one other subpoena purportedly looked for correspondences with Pennsylvania lawyer Bruce Marks, who was involved in work to challenge election results."

42 14 I was watching the doc series Gunslingers (really well produced, historically accurate) last night, and the subject was the Bill Doolin gang. Then, in the 1890s, the Marshals would pretty much use the tactic of calling somebody's name and shoot them. Doolin escaped that fate at first by being nice with the arresting Marshal. He then escaped jail, so they waited for him to visit his family and gunned him down.

I saw a poll a friend over there shared noting that fully 23% of brittons are not going to turn the heat on at all this winter - due to the excessive price. and that includes a number with children under the age of 18.

now, my friend happens to have a wood burning stove so that's his plan for winter heat, but i wonder if all are in a similar situation or not. which means they'll definitely be cold...

Posted by: Hadrian the Seventh at September 09, 2022 07:52 AM (1Nxff)

We live in a time of great change. Change which seems determined to flow towards chaos, towards suffering, towards death.

Elizabeth was a constant in our world. We in the US didn't have to think about her much but she was still there. And now she isn't. Another piece of the old world order is gone forever.

Some people yesterday railed against her but those are largely the people in the vanguard of the march towards suffering. Some people took to the comments to state that they literally could not care less, but wanted to be seen as not caring.

She was great figure on the world stage, even if less important to us than to others. It isn't really difficult to understand why people grapple with it. Particularly those people of advanced age who are shown, once again, that death comes us all.

"You spelled “people who aren’t hyper-online enough to spot the Dark Brandon meme and just thought Grandpa Biden suddenly looked scary and menacing and were confused by the whole Nuremberg rally atmosphere” wrong."

I'm not sure which part is more disturbing and frightening. That-
1) Eddie sort of blames normal people for being so uh-hip to the glorious prank fascism run by our joke meme, fake Preezy "Dark Brandon". If only the Norms weren't so stupid, we could all have a good laugh at a major Prime Time Presidential Speech Prank., Or-
2) That the Biden Admin is now trying to walk back a real major Prime Time Presidential Speech disasteras a "joke" on America. Really? Are you in grade school?
3) That Biden and his handlers are so frivolous, so loony, so out of touch, so ignorant and immature that they actually really thought that running a fascist, Dork Brandon prank on the nation and the world during a major Prime Time Presidential Speech was just hunky-dory. If so, they're all literally insane.

He wrote this in an op-ed published by state run outlet Ukrinform, with the alarming words being picked up by The Washington Post and others.

110 all that we have known and cared for, will sink into the abyss of a new Dark Age made more sinister, and perhaps more protracted, by the lights of perverted science.

JJS asks us to consider "what we are up against", and buck up for the fight ahead. I am more confident than I was that we can win this fight, at this time, but I also know the fight goes way beyond mere politics. Winning an election or two ultimately achieves little.

We must win the culture, win in the schools, and win in our towns. Blue must turn red, in as many places as possible. The utopian transhumanists and "world-citizens" must be defeated at ground level. It is all evil.

Not only can we do it, we did it, and despite the overwhelming amount of historical documents flatly contradicting our fictional account of U.S. history, we got the leftist education industry to swallow our revisionist bilge hook, line, and sinker and now our racist, inaccurate "history" of the U.S. is being taught as fact to schoolkids all over the country!

I put forth no opinion on what will happen in this conflict; but in general terms, it's certainly possible. Overextending your military (pushing them past positions you can operationally support) is one of the classic military blunders, and usually leads to disaster for the side that does it. The 2nd Operation Barbarossa could easily end the same way the first one did.

147 Jeff Bezos-Whom I don't particularly care for-asked a very good question of "Dr." Anju: "This person is helping to make the world a better place?" and Twitter apparently blew up with responses. People often post on Twitter to get likes and responses and followers and to give a snappy comeback. It's very narcissistic platform. Of course, we all like to have a "community" of like minded people or we (including me) wouldn't post here, but Twitter is-as we know- is full of bots.There are millions and millions of people who don't post on Twitter who respected the kind of woman Elizabeth was. The professor wanting QE to die in agony had no effect on how Elizabeth died, nor how she lived, nor affect the view of her by family and friends. God knew Elizabeth too. I think people can certainly strong advocate against the poisonous CRT in schools as they are doing and against Transgender theory as they are also doing. I can be mad at what she Dr Anju said (and I was) but I think the better response for me is just to pray for her-which I did. Another person strongly in need of a conversion expereince.

There's an excellent book, George, Nicholas and Wilhelm: Three Royal Cousins and the Road to World War I by Miranda Carter which looks at the relationships among the three. Takeaway: Wilhelm shot off his mouth all the time, but when the chips were down, never wanted a real war; Nicholas was a silent, secretive man convinced he was God's anointed and George probably the most level-headed of the three, which isn't saying much.

The death of a queen who was a direct link to heroes like Winston Churchill might not have a huge impact in America, but the stability that she brought in her own way is an example of something that has been disappearing since the end of the last century.

193 " Internet, and the movement to put everything from one's feelings to political rants on social media started."

I think the internet for all its pluses was the worst invention in the history of the world. Now it's much easier to insult or feel insulted by huge groups of people at the touch of a button. It also took away the idea that Just because you can say something doesn't mean that you should.

195 There's an article linked on Insty which discusses that we're up to over 100,000 drug OD deaths each year, most from fetanyl made in China and sold through Mexico.

Two years ago I wrote that drug overdoses were lowering American life expectency by a lot more than Covid deaths.
In part it's a function of the ODs killing the relatively young, while Covid tends to kill the old.

Tell Europe to get their ass in gear if they're worried about it. Clearly Russia can't fight for sh*t so those UN member nations should make short work of it.

350 I mentioned this a several days ago regarding crickets/bugs in our foodstuffs...

... there are already several brands that use the terms "sustainable" in the ingredients section of their label. Upon closer inspection, and because they still have to list what those "sustainable" ingredients are (for now) you can find out if crickets/bugs are part of your flour, boxed soup mix, cereal etc. Usually as a "protein" additive.

So, in one way or another the industry is already conditioning us to accept eating bugs in some manner, shape or form.

That depends more on how much Russia would be willing/able to commit to an invasion of Poland (the answer seems to be not much, but in theory they could commit enough to overwhelm Poland).

A successful defense in this case is mostly about making it too costly.

While I would never claim to understand (or approve of) all of Putin's motive here, he's been very consistent in his desire to keep Russia a sovereign, independent, powerful nation while often rejecting the woke demands of the globalists, including reducing role of Christianity in our culture, gay marriage, allowing gay westerners to adopt Russian babies, climate change hysteria, etc.. He does not align with them at all.

I seem to recall a speech of his within the last year specifying just how destructive the globalist goals/plans are.

376 Leaving other things aside, I kind of want to see George Miller's new movie, as he's recorded as being fascinated with 'Myth', ala Joseph Campbell type stuff, and almost all his output is that kind of Hero/Quest type material. I'm not reading reviews or anything as I'd like to see it 'cold'.
In my assessment, George Miller's most violent, harrowing movie is 'Lorenzo's Oil', 1992, which I saw in the theater and came out shocked and exhausted.
Miller stated at the time, he didn't want to portray the boy Lorenzo as a helpless victim, but as a Hero struggling against a towering, deadly adversary.
If you have a child, there are scenes in Lorenzo's Oil that are very nearly unwatchable. The helplessness of being a parent, etc. It's a brutal, heroic movie and very difficult to watch.

No, not as I recall (I haven't read the Fortean Times article about the occultism in a while). It was more at the insistence of Murnau's screenwriter, and you can tell that Murnau himself didn't think too much of it, as we only get a brief glance at the letter and no title card translating it.

In the first film, he never changes, I should have said.

The first was conceived as a single adventure with a joke of a tag at the end. It can be considered a single, cohesive work.

They shoehorn changes into his character starting in the second film with the chicken stuff, and it's silly and Marty doesn't work as well in the 2 and 3 films as he does in the first where he doesn't have any kind of arc.

394 389 No, not as I recall (I haven't read the Fortean Times article about the occultism in a while). It was more at the insistence of Murnau's screenwriter, and you can tell that Murnau himself didn't think too much of it, as we only get a brief glance at the letter and no title card translating it.

I believe I've read somewhere about why Max Schreck had the cadaverous look he did, and that it was somehow connected to the Expressionist school, but, again, I've been too depressed to pull together the materials I need to write the essay.

A character evolving and then changing his environment is generally opposed to the themes the Greek playwrights were going for.

The central idea is that you're doomed/fated and all are playthings to the gods. Like Achilles and how he was invincible everywhere but one spot, and then died as foretold. You can make choices but choices don't change the big outcomes.

Auteur theory is a nice idea that explains some of what goes on in movies. It's far from a catch-all, though, and some people go way too far with it.

Sometimes, a story is just a story.

So they can jolly well shut the hell up about their weird little obsessive hobby.

I agree with this, and Ukraine may be doing some real damage to Russian logistics with their advance precisely because they are trying to take rail hubs (particularly in the north). There are no winners in this war, and the territorial "gains" on both sides are illusory.

What is happening, regardless of the military and political outcome, is the destruction of Russian infantry and air military capability.

495 A character evolving and then changing his environment is generally opposed to the themes the Greek playwrights were going for.

The central idea is that you're doomed/fated and all are playthings to the gods. Like Achilles and how he was invincible everywhere but one spot, and then died as foretold. You can make choices but choices don't change the big outcomes.
Posted by: Red Turban Someguy - The Republic is already dead! at September 09, 2022 09:25 AM (b2nrj)

Now, like in North Korea there are portraits and photos of Barry instead (who, early in his career had to surrender his law license). Our hero.

After a military debacle of soldiers being charged by his administration for doing their jobs in one or another Middle East conflict, Rush Limbaugh said of Barry, " The man is despicable."

Which means don't even think of helping the middle class which is the backbone of this country.

I re-evaluate my thoughts about anyone other than Trump running in 2024 based on this alone. Every day. Anyone other than Trump and his FU money will not want to go through this which means they will have handlers in some form.
