May 2020...Getting used to lockdown...and retiring!

Getting used to lockdown...and retiring!
Well, this is a bit weird. I am now into my 3rd month of retiring, and at the same time I have to cope with lockdown? That's a little unusual. I am trying to go through all of my emails, and unsubscribe to so many that I just never got around to...there are lots!
Also, I am in groups within LinkedIn that are not relevant to me, since I plan to be retired - I am done with the Mon-Fri commute! Having slaved over a hot keyboard for the last 45 years (give or take) I am now at home... slaving over a hot keyboard. I am enjoying having time on my hands to catch up with all of the things that I wanted to do for the last few years/decades - I now have that time!
I can look at the clock on Monday morning, see that it says 08:00, and I can go 'Nah...' and turn over and go back to sleep, or get up, put the kettle on, look outside, and start my day doing the things that I want to do - not what has been forced on me for so long.
Do I regret giving up work? Why? Why would I regret it?
I might miss the interaction, the pace, the pressure, but regret it? No way!
Also, having just finished at a very small but well-placed software company, I can actually say, with some confidence, that I am out of touch with most things modern. I like to have time to think about things, to try things through, but the day to day pressure in any small company means that I don't have that luxury.
So I am home, because I have to be (lockdown) and because I want to be (retired). Hey I'm no longer 25, and I'm no longer at my fittest. The last year or two have thrown some medical complications at me, so I am looking forward to doing my things, when I want to, and at my speed.
What can go wrong...?
I can now follow:
COVID-19,
the up and coming USA elections, the USA politicians (those that should be certified, and those that shouldn't)
Media commentators (those that I like, and those that I follow but don't have to...)
I can read up on all those books I bought, and have still to read...there are a few.
I can catch up on all that music that I want to catalogue and put into Finale, make videos of, and put up on bitchute (not so much youtube these days...bad vibes from there...)
...early days, but this is going to be a good time...

Early April, 2020...

Oh My Gawd… how did we ever get to this nightmare situation? Seriously - how did we ever get to the nonsense situation where we (the West, the UK, the USA... all get held to ransom by some country that literally holds the entire planet as hostage, and they caused the original problem! How is this ever supposed to be excusable? Where to start...? What is the problem? What are we all screaming about...? How do we handle the current situation - what do we do now? How do we handle this for the future...? It's all very well to say that we can settle things for the next week or two, but the next 6-12 months... Come on! This should not be Rocket Science!!! In case you have just surfaced from under some rock, we are under siege - the West - the USA, UK, mainland Europe, and more...? What part of this do you not get? The Media - it's tricky - what part do you read, and trust? It's actually simpler to say what parts do you follow and believe? It's usually a smaller list... The mainstream media (MSM) is actually proving itself to be a waste of space. What they say, you simply cannot believe!)

Covid-19 28 March 2020

Since we are all doomed (apparently...) I thought I would just mention that so far
1) I am fine. Well...'fine' may be a bit strong. I'm OK....well, OK may be pushing it... BUT
2) I am still breathing, with a pulse!
3) I have not yet gone down with this damnable WuFlu thingy. Yeah - is that 'racist'?
I really don't care. Go sit on a sharp, pointy thing...
4) Others around me have also not gone down with it....so far...?

Massive - HUGE! - sympathy to those who have, or who are suffering (or have suffered) or have lost the battle. Dreadful. The whole Social Media farce seems to be 'the Gov: it should have been more, and sooner' to just about everyone. Trump, Johnson, et al. Whatever hoops they have been jumping through, it isn't enough (to some people...)
To others, it's a case of
1) we don't really understand the issue here, so we will put some steps in place, and review...
2) Reviewing turns into a daily (hourly?) setup, and it's still not enough. You can't please everyone...
3) It will never be enough. No matter what was done, who it was done to, who it was done by, it will never be enough. Until you acknowledge that, then it's pointless.
What are we supposed to be doing with this whole social distance thingy? 2 metres seems to be the norm, but how do you deal with the loopy types who have not read the memo? Or those utter clowns who decide that they don't like you, and they are going to cough. In your face. And then tell you that they have C19!!!
How are people this stupid? Really, how did the Human Race descend to such rampant stupidity?
They deserve no sympathy. They get none from me!
But sadly, the powers that be don't seem to have grasped the situation...

https://edition.cnn.com/2020/03/26/us/woman-coughed-on-produce-trnd/index.html
Can you be drunk and NOT be stupid...? https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2020/mar/27/woman-coughed-police-officers-face-jailed
The list goes on: just google it! If you are having a bad day, stay at home! Please!!! Do NOT take it out on any of the emergency services, as they will take it personal (quite right!) and make sure that, if you thought your day was bad, it just got worse. It is NOT the emergency services fault that you are a total dickhead!!! It is YOUR fault! If you cannot, and will not deal with it - do NOT blame the emergency services! How many times does this have to be spelled out, in Plain English?
And yes, I am very good at English - just don't call me if you want this in any other language!
So. We have what can only be called a New Experience to so many people - Social Distancing. It means that, hopefully, if
1) the population pay attention, and
2) the population keep 2 metres apart, then we may get through this mess, sort of unscathed.
Can we all (at least in the West...and maybe Australia + New Zealand - just agree that we are taking the best advice available - you may not like it, but damn it - if you've got a 'better expert' then bloody say so! Until then we do what we do - we knuckle down and just get through the next few days! You can't ask any more.
MASSIVE salute to all the people involved in this - the NHS personnel, now the Forces, the police, the ambulance, and who know who else! This is going to drag Everyone in! YOU ARE ALL AWESOME!!!! How this fool managed to even survive this altercation with the police...it's essentially a terrorist activity; what can I say? They shoot you for this! She is truly vile. https://www.miragenews.com/police-charge-woman-after-spitting-on-officer-during-vehicle-stop-greenacre/

Bookish me...Jihadist psychopaths and the like

Alright, the world is a complicated place. I get that. Really, I do. With 7B+ people you should literally expect the unexpected (thanks, Grasshopper), but on top of that we have the notion that some groups within that 7B+ are of the opinion that they are right.
They are correct. In fact, they are the ONLY correct people on the planet, and it is YOU who are in the wrong!
This is, for a start, unhinged thinking (if you can even call it REAL thinking) - it is! If you are of the opinion that YOU, and ONLY you, are correct, or right in your world view...that says SO VERY MUCH about you (and none of it is good.) It means that, with often no (or little) verification or serious evidence, you make outlandish claims of your superiority, your dominion over others - and yet you expect that the rest of the world is to just roll over and (literally) play dead?
Dude - what planet are you from, because it surely isn't the one that I am living on!
Examples? Really - you need examples? Wow...
calling Trump Hitler is a sad and sick joke. If he was Hitler, then you and your Hollywood types literally would not be able to call him Hitler - why - how? - do you not get this?
Calling Trump racist - I can't even begin to explain this...not to someone who simply does not have the facility to understand! Calling Boris Johnson racist...oh, S.T.F.U! You useless, sad, pathetic fools - get a grip!
Do not get me started on this circus show of the European Union - what a disgrace!
From start to finish, this has proven itself to be a wholesale disaster - it has NO redeeming features at all!
We have the EU devotees, who often spout the most wonderful drivel, and are surprised when people either do not listen, or shoot them down in flames! The pro-EU types have at best half the argument - and literally ignore all the rest.
What part of this 'open borders' fiasco do you still want to promote? Any of it? Some of it? Why?
How are you still clinging on to the Titanic of the 21st Century? It is an unmitigated disaster, of unprecedented proportions! We are literally losing entire countries to the invasion - call it what it is - it is an invasion of the lowest denominator that Europe has seen in centuries! And yet...and yet, the people who started, and want to continue this farce - are still returned to office!!!!
, This I simply do not understand. Are you that thick, that you somehow believe that voting for the same party, the same beaurocrats, will somehow deliver a different result? JEEEEZUS!!!! How can you be that dumb!!!! Anyway...my main point in this blog...?
I have just got the latest book from Jamie Glazov, Jihadist Psychopath, and I have started to read it through.
On a separate note, I like what (little) I know of Jamie - he has been through a lot, and is a legal immigrant to the USA, and is making a success of what he does. Good for him!
What I find to be murky, and worrying (not that I am, as yet, losing any sleep over it) is that Jamie, and many others in the USA, have what I can only call a strong Christian bent. This has nothing to do with Trump - sorry, PRESIDENT Trump. This religious fervour was in place years before Trump was even running for office - it's just that with him in office, this religious flavour seems to have found...a 'something', a force that they love, and will no doubt use.
To the wise...? Who knows - really, who can say? I thought years ago that Trump was an excellent choice, and it is only him keeping Pence in some form of check that is preventing the USA going full tits-up and becoming some theocratic dictatorship - which is ironic, if you look at what the USA thinks it is fighting against!
Look, I am in the UK - we have had so much crap from the EU in the last few decades (and few really understand what that even means) and those in the USA are (reluctantly) waking up to the farce of their politics for the last century (and more!)
Oh, Canada - what a failure you are! JT is at best an embarrassment (I do not know - what else can you call him?). At worst...he is engineered to bring down the West. Your call... Vote! For goodness sake (literally) go out an make your vote count! It may be the difference between live or die (and that scares me - a LOT!!!)

Dateline: March. 2020.

Wow. What a ride...the last few years have shown that
1) The voters continue to return to public office the WORST imaginable.
2) We, in the West, are being invaded, (see (1))
3) The invaders are not
(a) refugees (oh, come on! Get real!)
(b) widows and orphans (thanks, Barry, for that piece of stunning fiction!)
(c) if these 'children' (I think I'm going to throw up...) are even less than 20, then....I am a monkey's uncle.
4) the West has a limited time offer on this - wake up, or be lost. There is no in between - none!
If you are so very dumb that you do not see it, then you should not be in any public office, and your voters are insane.
The invasion, and ultimate destruction, of the West (yes, that is you...) is imminent.
You have been warned...not that I expect you to do anything about it, of course.
No-go areas, civil war, massacres on the streets..? Coming soon....just around the corner from where you live.

December, 2019...

Helloooooooo - are you awake? I do wonder sometimes. Well, most of the time, actually. Most of the time I cannot believe what I find in the MSM (yes, there is a reason for that...stay with me), and I find it increasingly difficult to take ANYthing I find in most of the media with any sense of 'reality' - I do feel that the borders are somewhat blurred (if not completely dismantled) - that's not the same as the southern borders of the USA... different ball-game... In London. we have just had a homicidal maniac (he killed people - therefore he is homicidal - yes? And a maniac...? You were saying...?) kill at the last count 3 people (please let that be the end of it!). Who is this person/murderer? Why it is someone from the dangerous cult of the Amish. We know just how many people they have been...what? It's NOT the Amish? But shit, my trusted source said...well, sod it. No sympathy. The legal ideocracy that released this murderer early...well///the blood is firmly on your hands! The buck has to stop somewhere, and you> You are GUILTY!!!! https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-7742957/Newsweek-fires-reporter-said-Trump-spending-Thanksgiving-tweeting-golfing-more.html And so it continues - we have, in the last 3+ years, have been exposed to almost to no end of lies. Yes, lies - fiction. Hey, if you don't like the USA President Trump, then just have the cojones to say so - don't keep re-writing history, according to your (wildly inaccurate) perspective, and seriously expect the increasingly more cyber-educated people to just buy in to this utter drivel. We have the - incredible as it may sound, to anyone who is living in 2019 - we have people who are actually saying that it was a shame the poor terrorist was (effectively) assassinated, live, on London Bridge. Well! How's that work for you, mentally lacking as you clearly are? How did you want this to pan out? Did you expect the police to go over, offer a cuppa, and ask him, ever-so-nicely, to just put the knives down, and we will all talk about it? Did you really expect some highly-trained professional police officer to leave even the possibility of an open window that this murdering thug could have detonated his explosive vest (hey - nobody knew at that time whether this was a real of fake vest - nobody...except the psycho that set him up), and take out another dozen or more close pedestrians? You are not even revolving in the same world as most of us are. You are delusional (that much is obvious) but you still expect the rest of the world to take your delusion at face value. No! It isn't going to happen. You are short in the grey cells, but that does not mean that we have to accommodate your ideocracies. For anyone to even suggest that we should is scary enough. You are trash. You are of a world that most people simply do not want to be a part of - so take the pinch of salt, and bite on it. We will move on - you? - you are incapable of moving on.

22nd November, 2019...elections? What...?

Ooooh, where were you, way back in 1963...? Yeah, I don't know either! …some dude jfk got himself shot...and from that point in time, it seems that time just changes its own meaning...what if he was not shot? What if he was, but survived...? What if, what if....all meaningless...until Time Travel becomes a reality (waits a few centuries... - nah, still nothing)
