I'm torn. while I appreciate her efforts on Psyop-19, so many "converts" and controlled oppo characters give us just enough to like, as they do damage in other sectors of the narrative. I find some of her work and exposes to have been helpful, but she has a new age, Kabbalistic vibe I just will never warm to.

I suppose it's like art appreciation - subjective. She has a good turn of phrase though.

I suppose one has to take a certain amount of truckloads of salt to the party, else one would be doubting every letter and syllable written. There are some genuinely frightening people on the scene though.

Best to you.

Personally, the "strains of philosophical thought" that I hold dear, have barely morphed in 50+ years. They are inviolate. Any massive conversion someone has, be it religious, ideological, physical (shifting to an organic lifestyle, after consuming McDonald's daily) are always a bit suspect. I mean, could you imagine going to bed a Feminist, anti-natal, and waking up praising and adoring men? Or, even tolerating us? :-)

I think Red Diaper Baby Naomi, was approached by very wealthy and powerful forces, who commended her writing, and what she had done for their "Progressive" causes. Offered her large tranches of said money, if she changed her stripes, and did a few things for them. Sort of like Malone. Or, George Webb, an admitted Mossad spy, who came out in dramatic fashion in 2016, exposing actual rat works and treachery being committed by our government.

Like you Barry, I just want truth. I honestly do not want to hurt or hate any specific groups. I just want truth, and some groups, well, their history indicates truth is not their ally at all.

Hi Anti-Communist,

You just wrecked my train of thought in a written submission I'm busy penning to the local DA for the withdrawal of criminal charges of DUI against my client. I'm not a fan of criminal law, but now and again I do it.

Yeah, so my client was like 5x over the legal limit, but he never killed anyone or had a car accident, and yes he was stupid to go looking to score a woman and some joints after a party he left at 1am. I wouldn't say he is my favourite bloke on the planet, and he's also a bad payer. However, deep down, he knows right from wrong and that's a good thing for me.

I am probably going to get him off as the Prosecution seems to have mislaid all their blood/alcohol forensic analysis documentation. So, yes, I will unleash another chronic piss-cat back on the motorways. How do I feel about it? Nothing I suppose, because it's a fair contest in this imperfect world we live in.

What you said about "the truth" hit me like a ton of bricks. You are 100% right. What's so difficult about the truth?

The thing is we have this imperfect thing called a human being, with all its inadequacies, foibles, self-delusion, false arrogance, fear and loathing. Most people are generally good, kind, generous and well meaning. You do not see these types spoken about in the media. They are not worth writing about. Only misery, scandal and BS sells. This is an indictment of mass common demoninator culture. But it is not representative of anything really.

But back to this thing called "the truth".

In civil law, we have something called "factual allegations". This is where each party is supposed to deal with the facts of their claim/defence as they allege them. This sort of parlance does not work in the real world, but for the courts what it means is party A has to put their version of the facts to the court, as does party B.

People make the mistake to think that Judges are the arbiters of truth - they are not. Judges themselves have their own inherent biases, prejudices and skewed interpretations based on their own unique life experience. They are also human beings.

Courts are not there for this illusory thing called "justice". It simply does not exist. All courts do is take a balanced view on the evidence put in front of them - either in witness testimony in a trial hearing, or on the court papers/affidavits in a motion hearing.

This thing called truth has been suppressed by the system for a long time, mainly because it is inconvenient. I wrote a poem that got published in a local anthology about the legal system a while back called: "Law's for Dummies"

LawтАЩs for dummies

тАЬSo, this person the cops most unfairly say you raped,

Was it a boy or a girl?тАЭ

The client looks at me, nonplussed.

тАЬSo this bastard charlatan of a man, who ripped you off,

Does he have any money?тАЭ

The client looks at me, nonplussed

тАЬI need ten thousand to get started, perhaps more because you are a new clientтАЭ

тАЬI think we have a good case, I think weтАЩre gonna winтАЭ,

тАЬGet you offтАЭ,

тАЬGet real justiceтАЭ.

The Courts are clogged,

The administrative staff are dreaming of better days, more senior government jobs, for less, or no work, and for much better pay,

The lawyers lower down on the food chain fight for the scraps,

The senior ones, maleficent, evil, divvying up the spoils,

Backroom deals are cut, тАЬyou get this oneтАЭ; тАЬI get the nextтАЭ.

The Judges staring bored at the poor hapless litigants, numb to the pain,

Straining to make out the flapping tongues and pointless drivel, dished out by the lawyers,

The bullshit flowing free,

Death by paper and exhibits,

The floor a festering mess,

The client in the dock, or in the back seats, thinking:

тАЬHe never listened to what I said, heтАЩs fucking this upтАЭ.

The Judge calls it a day,

Pronounces his findings,

You stare at your lawyer, his face drained white, faking a forced smile.

You know you have gone down, you felt it even before My Lord or Your Worship said it.

Sheepishly, on the way out, your lawyer puts a fake hand on your shoulder, the insincerity and embarrassment in his eyes,

тАЬSorry buddy, YOU lostтАЭ

тАЬIтАЩll account to you in due courseтАЭ.

Outside, the air is cold, and you know thereтАЩs more justice at the whorehouse just round the corner where, at least, when you get fucked, thereтАЩs a fleeting, paid for, pleasure.

Sorry, I have to go out now with my wife.

We'll chat again.

Best regards

Barry

Off to hike, wife is traveling in Europe and how do I use my time? 100+ degree days, hiking, exposed to sun and green mojave rattlers, a rare gila monster (they are gorgeous!) and nought else. Why do I subject myself to potentially lethal 12 mile hikes, with 70 oz of water, and no phone? The desert, hates everything in it. If you survive there, no matter your station or genetics, you have something no arbitrary court decision, can rescind, ablate, or redact.

Aye, while we have a mostly great species, when a fleck gets in the ointment we all grind upon, it hurts.

Greatly appreciate your peek behind the legal scenes, which I have scrupulously avoided, for my entire life! For all the reasons you mention.

I hope you lose your case with the degenerate. And if you do win, his inevitable next drunken crash happens one cold 3 am morning, directly in to the court building that set him free.

Hail Victory!

Desert hike - fantastic. Are you in New Mexico?

We have a similar semi-arid area here in SA called "the Karoo".

I mainly hike moutains.

12 miles in 100 degree heat on 70oz of water is insane.

I'll send my DUI bloke to collect your corpse.

Enjoy yourself : ))

Nevada! Apologies, made it back! The hydration bladder was completely depleted with a mile left. SA is beautiful, visited Cape Town almost 30 years ago!

Phew, I was slightly concerned about you. Not that I need to tell an experienced hiker like you - but one must never underestimate mother nature. Not having enough water can be deadly, especially in such intense heat.

Cape Town is magnificent. 

Here's a link to some pics from recent hikes in and around Cape Town:
