Stef's Blog - a native London Southlander and unrepentant 'Conspiraloon™' who doesn't trust anyone, not even himself. Sometimes I take pictures. I also enjoy swearing immensely and think much faster than I can type, so each post comes guaranteed to include at last one confusing typo. OK?
All being well, I'm off out of the country for a couple of months as of the end of next week. And, if those couple of months go well, for a much longer period after that
Much is up in the air, much is uncertain, but that's the plan
Which means that this blog will be parked in suspended animation, for at least a while, in a few days. Not dead as such, just sleeping
Which is going to be a shame
I've genuinely enjoyed the input of the interesting collection of people who've taken the time to post comments and links here We are most definitely not the only ones who can see and, no, you don't have to be a completely irrational nutcase to disbelieve Mainstream Narratives
And apologies to people who've written to me or posted links which I haven't followed up as promptly as they thought I might. Anything someone takes the time to show me gets looked at but there are only so many hours in the day to respond and react
Documentary which tells the story of evolution theory since Darwin postulated it in 1859 in 'On the Origin of Species'.
The theory of evolution by natural selection is now scientific orthodoxy, but when it was unveiled it caused a storm of controversy, from fellow scientists as well as religious people. They criticised it for being short on evidence and long on assertion and Darwin, being the honest scientist that he was, agreed with them. He knew that his theory was riddled with 'difficulties', but he entrusted future generations to complete his work and prove the essential truth of his vision, which is what scientists have been doing for the past 150 years.
Evolutionary biologist Professor Armand Marie Leroi charts the scientific endeavour that brought about the triumphant renaissance of Darwin's theory. He argues that, with the new science of evolutionary developmental biology (evo devo), it may be possible to take that theory to a new level - to do more than explain what has evolved in the past, and start to predict what might evolve in the future.
It was essentially no more than the usual collection of fibs, half truths, fantasies and non sequiturs but it made a nice change having someone other than Richard Dawkins presenting the same old fundamentalist bullcrap
And, no, Armand didn't fill in any holes but he did attempt to pass off some absolute whoppers whilst pretending to do so
There was one slightly novel element. It was I think the first time I've ever heard a TeleDarwinevangelist admit that this most beautiful and truthy of scientific theories is currently capable of predicting absolutely bugger all and only 'works' retrospectively
Ah well, it's only a century and half old. Give it time
You can only imagine how far Newton would have got trying to pull that kind of shit
"Isaac was fucked if he knew what was going to happen next"
I maintained that the relative size of government is an irrelevance and a distraction from more significant concerns
I would, however, argue that when government starts spunking money taken off people under threat of imprisonment (i.e. tax) on expensive cross-media marketing campaigns which tell those same people that they are dirty pigs then, yes, the people employed doing that are probably better employed in a private sector sweatshop - preferably somewhere nasty.
Mr Tony Benn is one of the long list of state-sanctioned dissident, but only a little bit dissident, voices I am at best ambivalent about but I did enjoy this clip; more for the obvious discomfort of the State Broadcasting Company frontperson than anything Mr Benn says...
Apparently the BBC isn't supporting the Gaza aid appeal because some of the funds raised might end up being misused by a terrorist government
So, you know what to do about paying your state television tax next time it's due
And cheers to anon 22:41 for this link to a piece by John Mearsheimer which sums up the motivation for, and the results of, the recent slaughter pretty well...
The humour presumably comes from the fact that D9s are not furry and real teddy bears don't crush people to death
note how its thick metal plating has enabled this armoured bulldozer to withstand heavy attacks from unarmed female peace activists and emerge victorious
What? Only a little bit fascist? I think Keren's trying to hide her light under a bushel there
I also think that it's pretty unlikely that anyone would lay out a picnic lunch on an open hillside if they thought the people being butchered on the other side of the valley represented any real threat to their safety at all
There are currently 670 comments underneath this clip of espresso slurping slaughter-tourists and I haven't yet seen much in the way of a Hasbara 'explanation' debunking it in any way. So, I'm obliged to conclude that this is on the level
What I have seen, and am starting to see more frequently, is comments which cross the line between Anti-Zionism and Anti-Semitism
Militant Zionism is an ideology which people can choose to accept or reject, regardless of their ethnicity, and it is reasonable to hold people responsible for the ideologies they choose to follow
Pouring abuse on someone just because they belong to a particular ethnic group is pretty hard to justify, morally or logically
To give in to base Human emotion and become a race-hater is to play the Zionist game. It is to reduce yourself to Their level
Keren Levy is an unpleasant piece of hateful trash because she chooses to be one, she wasn't born one.
