Intermission

There now follows a short-ish intermission - more than enough time to complete the following 'Spot the Twunt' challenge...

Snoozy Bo-bos

There was a hell of a racket today as a convoy of fuel protesters' lorries, horns blaring, trundled through my neck of the woods heading towards Westminister...




Loud they might have been but not loud enough to wake up the two blokes who parked outside my front door in a officially authorised clamperwagon for a refreshing little nap...




hmmm, taking on a horde of hairy out of town truckers or snoozy bo-bos?

tough call

-

and, in other London transport related news, is it just me or is there the faint whiff of goatse about this new Tube poster...

Something for the planespotters out there

Thanks to Lord Patel for pointing my nose towards a potentially very interesting, um, slip up in Belgium this weekend

A 747 freight carrier belonging to Kalitta Air, en route to Bahrain, slid off the runway at Brussels airport and broke its back on Sunday

Modern airliners with broken backs are thankfully a rare sight so this collection of pics of the unfortunate 747 is worth a gander

The most obvious, if somewhat unlikely cause, for such an unusual occurrence is that the load shifted on take-off

It would be interesting to know what the 76 ton load actually consisted of. The only details which have been reported are that 40 tons of it was ‘diplomatic mail’

40 tons of diplomatic mail

Kalitta Air is, of course, the charter air freight company which did such sterling work illegally shipping arms through the UK in a frantic race against time in 2006 - final destination the pre-cease fire open spaces of Lebanon

The amusing question for Kalitta Air today is one raised by Lord Patel…

‘How do you unload a broken backed immovable 747 in full view of the highway / train track?’

IT'S OFFICIAL!! Mainstream Media ‘Silly Season’ now extends from January through to December

Some personally selected highlights from the characteristically level-headed, objective and fact-packed mainstream media coverage of the chilling exploits of the Bacofoil Bomber…


The Daily Mail

“Police suspect the terrorists who built the bomb, and two similar devices found at the scene, thought they would have been powerful enough to blow out the front of the restaurant - causing untold death and injury”

= an absolute classic IMHO and worth re-reading and thinking about a couple of times

“One friend, 17-year- old Alli Turner, said: 'When the Twin Towers happened he would constantly watch it on repeat.”

That would be when Bacofoil Boy was fifteen – and five years before his conversion


The Telegraph

"If it had gone up it would certainly have caused a huge fireball and the idea that this was happening in a family restaurant packed with children is awful."

AKA ‘Ah well, until the next real bomb goes off we’ll just have do the terrorists work for them by imagining and writing whatever baby-strewn carnage-scenarios we can come up with’

"Detectives believe Mr Reilly planned to commit suicide and allegedly had help in constructing three "rudimentary but viable" bombs that had never been seen in Britain before. They were constructed from sodium hydroxide, aluminium foil strips and an essential oil, combined with kerosene.”

An intriguing Americanism there - later reports/ stories have started referring to paraffin

The scent of TERROR!! - specially formulated for people who want their bombs to smell nice

The Press Association – via Yahoo

“Investigators suspect the place where Reilly tried to set off the bomb, a backroom toilet, was chosen to maximise the impact of the device and two others found nearby.”

Some loons might think that a backroom toilet would be the last place someone would choose to 'maximise the impact of the device' – but the chillingly devastating results speak for themselves


The Guardian/ Observer

“Rafiq said the grooming of vulnerable people for suicide missions was well documented in the Middle East and claimed that there had been cases of terrorist organisations hacking patient health records to identify the vulnerable.”

Would that be ‘terrorist organisations’ like this bunch?

“But there is incredulity that such tactics could possibly be employed in one of the sleepier parts of the UK. More worrying is that the threat of terrorism appears to be spreading across the UK. 'The government has been focusing on major cities, so it makes sense for extremists to move into other regions,' Rafiq said.”

A virtually infinite number of possible scenarios make sense – it doesn’t mean that they happen though.

For example, it would also make sense for terrorists to get jobs working in mainstream journalism writing hysterical speculative stories designed to scare the crap out of people.

Of course, that would be just loon talk.

Unlike speculation that highly-trained jihadists are hiding out in the Shires – that’s rational

...the almost perfect hiding place for hordes of brown-skinned terror bastards

And top marks too for all the subliminal passing references to rucksacks, the Evil Internet, travelling on buses, potential suspects slipping through poor old MI5’s under-funded fingers and other chilling parallels with 7/7 which have featured in virtually all of the articles published thus far

-

Even if you were to discount any speculation of possible flaws and inconsistencies in the official narratives of 7/7, or even 9/11, the fact that our mainstream press, shamelessly stoked up by politicians and the security establishment, wets its pants in its eagerness to overstate and exaggerated the capabilities of the shadowy Legions of TERROR just screams out that the objectives of the terrorists and the establishment are exactly the fucking same

Exeter Bomb 'Not Scary Enough' Brown tells MI5

Fans of this now classic Daily Mash headline...

London Bomb 'Not Scary Enough' Brown tells MI5

may detect certain parallels with yesterday's/ today's mainstream news choices...

Tories snatch Crewe from Labour

Exeter Bomb Loaded with Chemicals

No doubt, Devon and the entire South Coast of Britain narrowly avoided complete vaporisation by the merest fluke of good chance. This is yet another vindication for the kind of changes which need to be made to the liberty-security balance of our society by a very reluctant government and security establishment.

It's also worth noting that this latest loser, mentalist, recent convert to Islamofascism is...

• White
• Described by people who know him as being not the kind of person they'd expect to commit a terrorist act
• Very keen on computers

sounds like anyone you know?

The sooner these white, computer loving, apparently non-violent types are deported back to Pakistan the better

and if anyone does have any important information, especially any pictures, from the Exeter attack please get in touch with the BBC immediately so that your material, and maybe you, can be properly dealt with...

Our arse is grass

When I was a kid I remember reading a book by that grumpy climate change 'denier' Nigel Calder which included an insight that struck me as being quite clever at the time

Calder argued that if you were viewing the Earth from space the dominant life form on our planet would appear to be grass

Rice, wheat, corn, it’s all grass

And that grass is so fiendishly clever it has contrived to enslave billions of the most sentient creatures on this planet into its service




Humanity has torn down woodlands, scoured the earth for natural resources and utilised some its most advanced science in the service of its insatiable Green Master

And it would be fair to say that our continued existence is a lot more dependent on grass than the level of reliance grass is placing upon us

-

The reason why we have allowed ourselves to be enslaved in this way is that, with the exception of a few perverse loners who like hanging around hydrothermal vents, all living things on this planet are solar powered

Grass rules because grass enables us to eat starlight

Grass also enables us to eat oil

Humanity has come up with some fabulously elaborate and energy-inefficient ways of turning oil into grass

But oil itself is nothing more than stored sunlight (assuming you believe all that stuff about oil being fossilised fish goo) so the 'all living things are solar powered' generalisation stands

-

I am a geological sciences graduate and old enough to have studied the subject before it became heavily politicised

And back then, as a general rule of thumb, one of the conclusions you could draw from studying past epochs was that…

Warm Global Climate = Good

Cold Global Climate = Not so good

which is one of the reasons why I am one of those people who blows off the Man Made Global Warming thing. Historically speaking, a little warmer has generally been better for living things than a little cooler and, given that the Earth doesn't keep a rigidly constant temperature anyway, I'd personally rather be alive during one of the upswings than one of the downswings

I'm also one of those climate change 'deniers' who places more store in trivial stuff like how far our planet is away from the Sun, or how active the Sun is at any given point in time, as being just a teensy wee bit more important than the Man Made Global Warming Lobby currently gives it credit for

And, as it happens, it's a lot easier for a beautifully self-balancing system such as our Earth to shed and deal with a little excess solar radiation than to try and whisk up some extra heat if the Sun cools off a bit

With all that in mind, and with the knowledge that low Sun spot activity can be directly correlated with a cold global climate, pictures like this taken of the Sun today concern me in a way that no amount of the global warming poop we've been subjected to thus far ever could...

A spot free Sun - maybe some other stars will go out with it now

Of course, the most reliable way to find out what the global climate is going to be like in five or ten years time would be to phone up a bookmakers and ask for some odds. Unlike lobbyists, scientific or political, bookies only make money when they get things right

Gary Kasparov vs. UFO

Now that's what I call serious political dialog

Global problems call for Global Reach-Around!!

I've only just found out about an 'inspirational moment' due to take place in London later this week...


"On Thursday 22nd May, we will mount a unique creative event through the streets of central London - a 3-mile-long "human chain handshake" from the Dalai Lama to the Chinese Embassy.

"Give Peace A Hand" will send a positive global message for meaningful Chinese-Tibetan dialogue before the Olympics. The Metropolitan Police has given it the green light. It'll be an inspirational moment.

But we can't do it without you"


Oooh, the Shadowy Overlords of Finance Capital must be quaking in their boots

Sadly, this three mile long reach-around is now fully booked.

However, given the organisers' solid track record for focusing peoples' minds and efforts on the Real™ issues behind impending climate catastrophe, clashes of civilisation and global poverty - without any distractive globalist bullshit - I'm sure they'll be coming up with plenty more handjobs in the future

I would have gotten away with it if it wasn't for you meddling kids

It struck me recently that, considering that this is a ‘conspiraloon’’s blog, this site is far too light on UFO-related posts

...because, as we are constantly reminded, belief in UFOs and undead Elvises (Elvi?) follows disbelief in official terrorism narratives as sure as night follows day

My problem is that I've approached the subject of alien space friend visitations with as open a mind as possible in the past but have personally concluded that the evidence available to support the belief in little green/ grey/ purple visitors is on the, um, thin side

And I am amused by the fact that there are quite a few ‘rationalist’, conspiracy theory debunker types out there who are actually sympathetic to the alien UFO thing - off the back of the same Law of (apparently) Very Large Numbers which is used to make Neo-Darwinism look like it adds up.

My opinion is that the really intriguing UFO sightings which appear to have a basis in genuinely unusual events are consistent with covert testing programs and associated disinformation campaigns

The kinds of pre-historic strangeness which have been extensively, and creatively, documented by the likes of Daniken and Hancock do not require hypothetical alien intervention and are consistent with our ancestors being a lot cleverer than we have given them credit for. A misconception possibly aided by some pre-historic wipe-out event




...all very testable/ researchable imho and not an indication of any kind of lunacy, even if subsequently disproved

What's interesting is that, until relatively recently, very little consideration has been given by UFO buffs and debunkers alike to the possibility that many genuinely unusual sightings may have been of test vehicles

The fact that many of the most interesting UFO sightings have taken place near to military test sites really should have been a bit of a give away




Scooby Doo fans will have a head start in comprehending the possibility that much UFOlogy is actually a deliberate distraction from more terrestrial considerations by simply performing the following substitutions..

Secret gold mine –> Lockheed Martin test facility

Holographic ghost projection device –> Cattle Mutilations

Suspicious looking caretaker seen at the start of every show –> National Security Agency

which is why I'm also of the firm opinion that serious consideration should be given to the possibility that the current global economic crisis might be the work of ghost pirates and not the banking elite

-

The reason why I’m raising the subject of UFOs now is that there was some coverage in the papers and the television last week about declassified British UFO sightings. We also learned that BBC’s Newsnight has a ‘UFO Editor’…




One of the declassified reports, in particular, caught my eye as it mentioned strange sightings over Waterloo Bridge




Years ago, back in the 80's, I used to walk across Waterloo Bridge most nights on the way to work. Occasionally, I would see a vaguely saucer-shaped grouping of coloured flashing lights hovering and moving around in a peculiar fashion over the Thames.

Because it was dark there were very few clues as to how far away or how big the collection of the lights was.

One night I spotted the source of these mysterious sightings... Some bloke standing in an alcove by the Festival Hall, working his highly-customised kite, pissing himself with glee

Two Wings of the same Bird

I've just got back from picking up a few things at my local Tescos. One recent change which has been made to the shop layout caught my eye. The entrance to the supermarket is now flanked by mounds of big boxes of items on special, discount store style; tins of budget baked beans, canned hot dog sausages and Haribo all being sold '2 for one'

Hmmm, sacharine sweetened beans, mechanically recovered pigs’ lips in brine and artificially flavoured gelatine; all available at half price, yum yum

Tescos' highly trained food technicians had obviously put a lot of thought into providing the ingredients for a perfectly balanced, cost-effective, two course meal in these difficult times of high food inflation.

It’s little things like this which give a clue as to how shit life is becoming for people who were already stretched before their food and energy bills started leaping up by 20, 30, 40%

But fret not, our governing political party understands the concerns of its electorate.

To see just how focused the Labour Party is on the real issues I recommend a quick peek at staunch working class warrior Moyra Tamsin Dunwoody-Kneafsey’s campaign page for this week’s Crewe and Nantwich by-election…



…where you can see that, in its attempt to turn the local parliamentary seat into an inherited fiefdom, the Labour Party is taking a strong stand against legal immigrants and underclass 'yobs' and demonising people it doesn’t like on the basis of their origins/ accidents of birth

It’s getting quite difficult now, even after exercising all the insight and empathy that I can muster, to understand why anyone still votes for this bunch of hypocritical c**ts
