30.06.2020 The sky is NOT falling!

~~

Tuesday 30th 57F, rather cloudy and windy. Showers possible. A walk to the lanes and back. Saw three hares today.  Windy but mostly dry.

An interesting hole in the cloud in the afternoon. And no, those aren't the airlines opening up for holidaymakers. The stripes are a sign of wave forming.

The US has bought up the entire world's supply of Remdesivir. Dumb always behaves as dumb does when it is run by a dummy. We can expect exactly the same behaviour with a vaccine. If one comes in time to save the US from itself.

It's much like car insurance. Any idiot can get it. Regardless of their deliberate idiocy and deliberately dangerous, serial behaviour. They will always pay the asking price. Because it is a basic human right to be an idiot. Sadly it is always the rest of us who must pay the real price of deliberate idiocy. Viral hot spots are just the most visible indicators of idiocracy. Freedom to drool is an important human right.

29.06.2020 Sleepless mornings?

~~

Monday 29th 56-69F, a bright and breezy start but cloud and then rain forecast. Or no rain and some sunshine?

I have been waking up much earlier than usual. It is getting worse but I don't feel stressed. 5.30 this morning and wide awake. So I got up. To sit quietly on the computer.

I haven't gained any weight nor had any health problems. We are being very careful and staying rurally isolated. Which is not difficult in our situation. Remote shopping has its irritations but no worse than shopping myself. The pandemic has become more of a distant problem rather than a serious worry.

I am deeply engrossed in my hobbies, as usual. Nothing much has changed in our lifestyles apart from the lack of cycling. Still thoroughly enjoying my morning walks. Though I should probably walk further now and then. Perhaps I need to cycle more to increase my exercise levels? A few loops of the empty lanes might do me good. Pick a hilly route to maximise the benefit with the least traffic, time or mileage.

Perhaps we simply need thicker curtains in the bedroom? It's not quite; "land of the midnight sun" but it doesn't get fully dark at this time of year. The bedroom window faces east. So catches the dawn. I'll try hanging a dark sheet over the usual curtains. Just as an experiment. It has been rather warm indoors too. Up in the low 80sF. Though now the mini heat wave has broken it is much more comfortable. It could be as simple as that.

I took my own advice and went for a long walk. Along the road, up the steep track to the woods. Then through the beech forest. Circumnavigated the forest via edge of field tracks and back past the marsh to the village. Only a single pair of Mallards on the pond.  I saw one hare and one living and one dead deer. The latter half on the verge. The woods are full of brambles. Making progress a bit of a meander. The wind helped to keep it cool despite it having reached 70F on my return.

A fat, really ugly, sociopath, wearing glasses and driving a dark red car, put his foot down and tried to run me over to impress his mate. Whom was following far too closely in a paler, red, equally nondescript car. No doubt I have inflamed the nutter's human rights to privacy by describing him so accurately. So now I can look  forwards to a prison term for my crime of textual self-defence against attempted, vehicular murder.

26.06.2020 🥕 SLAP! 🥕 SLAP! 🤣

~~

Friday 26th 63-82F, another sunny day. An early walk to the lanes in heavy traffic. Where I spotted one hare and a Red kite. The bird landed briefly on the dried up, flood area near the road. It must have missed its breakfast because it set off across the fields away from me. Where a flock of Wood pigeons scattered in all directions.

The day continues with warm sunshine. Except for a period of cloud before lunch. Possible thunder and cloudbursts tomorrow.

Saturday 27th 63-82F, another hot day in prospect with possible thunder storms and cloudbursts. At 11am or 7pm depending on your loyalty to which seaweed fumbler. A smattering of cloud thickened towards overcast after my walk to the lanes. I saw and heard several birds singing. A bright Goldfinch singing loudly in a roadside tree. Then a pair of Yellowhammers. I could see the gorgeous male opening its beak at intervals but the frequency must have been well beyond my ageing ears. Still lots of warblers in the hedges.

A sickening smell of roasting pig on the air. I hope there hasn't been a fire at one of the pig manufacturers? We haven't heard any fire engines.We can usually hear them coming from miles away.

In a desperate bid to reignite the pandemic stricken economy, the Danish government is to release the people's holiday money earlier than expected. The downside: It will be released in October.. AND, it will be taxed into mere pocket change! Well, they still have to recoup the billions they gave away to every crook around the world who asked for a tax refund on completely fantasy businesses. The result of a money saving exercise in the Danish Tax Department.

So, not so much a carrot, as being publicly beaten with the carrot! 🥕Slap! 🥕Slap! 🥕Slap! 🥕Slap! 🥕Slap! 🥕Slap! 🥕Slap! 🥕Slap! 🥕Slap! 🥕Slap! 🥕Slap! 🥕Slap! 🥕 SLAP!   Only in Denmark! 🤣

Mark's Very Own [terrorist] MaskBook Advertising Bureau is in serious trouble. All its biggest advertising customers are abandoning the soiled, extremist's, propaganda, bed sheet. The obvious question is why it took these hypocrites so long to jump ship?

One day and soon, advertising will be seen with the same contempt as the paedophile priest's sermons on morality. The present, supersaturated, global advertising load and obscene snooping on the entire world's private lives is well past its smell by date!

Cloacoal, the world's largest sugar wholesaler and arguably a genocidal force for evil, is to stop advertising on social media. Can anyone hear a deafening roar of silence? Imagine the CO2 they must be producing from their advertising alone? Probably the equivalent of a large country. Imagine working from 17-70 for Cloacoal. Then retiring to realise that they never did a worthwhile second of work in their entire lives. Big Tobacco workers are probably still in denial too.

Talking of CO2 mass production,: Danish owned shipping produces about the same amount of CO2 as the whole of Denmark.  But are free from CO2 quotas and taxes. So, absolutely no pressure to reduce their destruction of the Earth then.

Sunday 28th 66F, supposedly cloudy all day.  Yesterday's threat of thunder storms was a damp squib. It drizzled for a couple of minutes and we heard one rumble which might well have been a car door closing. Another walk to the lanes in very light traffic. A solitary hare was sitting in a side lane. It allowed me to take several, rather distant, snaps before it turned and fled back up the lane. First, real rain at about 12-15 but short lived.

Cloacoal has gone all limp-wristed on social media advertising. "There aren't nearly enough fat people yet!" Screamed the CeO[2.]  Promising to reinstate advertising on Mark's Very Own [terrorist] MaskBook ASAP. I'm still waiting for MaskBook to put warning notices on its CEO's very own posts. Fake news and bullshit? Isn't that what they accuse Chump of doing?

24.06.2020 Second Wave reported at Bournemouth!

~~

Wednesday 24th 60-77F, bright sunshine again. A walk to the lanes. Where the hares were still playing in the winter flooding patches on the fields. It became warmer and warmer.

Thursday 25th 60-80F, bright sunshine again. A brisk walk to the lanes. Not much to report except that it was beautiful. The crops are ripening to display gorgeous, new, vibrant colours. Or, perhaps I am suffering from toxic overload and becoming delusional. I may even start painting the landscape. Red?

The headlines:

Lemmings have been sighted in vast numbers on beaches in the UK.

Meanwhile Clown "shedloadsadosh" Boris has spent £900,000 [and change] on painting his toy plane at taxpayer's expense. He obviously didn't learn anything from his dose of the clapping Jinping.

Pootin the Perpetually Truly Awful has held a military parade entirely manned by vodka-laced, peasant conscripts. Whose families are held at gunpoint to prevent any real members of his alarmed forces from being seen to publicly wear masks of Pootin the Perpetually Truly Awful. Claimed to be a new form of psychological warfare to terrify any enemy, the plastic masks were cheaper than plastic surgery. Sly "Pandemic" Jinping is said to have donated the masks as an act of charity. As Russia runs out of government funding for more vodka.

A US/2 person has complained that "gawd's very own breathing app" is at serious risk from overeating racism drooling idiocy unscientific crap inbreeding the Chinese mask wearing. This is known as Officially Declaring the Right to become a Voluntary Darwin Awardee under the conn... Con.. Constipashun.. Constutushun! 

Sly, of Jinping Pandemic fame, is now said to be unfairly rattling his sabres at tiny countries like India. This is shortly after bringing them to their knees in a blatant, biological weapons attack. Sly's thugs are now said to be building plastic sheds in the mountains to store their stone age weapons. Baseball bats [oficially signed by Chump] with 4" nails.

Chump von Educationally Challenged did bugger-all today and the entire world sighed with relief. Mind you, the day isn't over yet. He may still send in the heavily armed marines to clear a path to the nearest statue of a filthy rich, iSlaver, like Bozo. There are rumours that having declared civil war on people of colour he is aiming for the indigenous peoples next.That will be a sure vote catcher as his popularity rating hits a new, record low even amongst gap-toothed rednecks. Cynics suggest that he has fired so many people from the <cough> Blanke's House to ensure himself safe, social distancing.

~~

23.06.2020 Another warm one.

~~

Tuesday 23rd 57-72F, sunshine and even warmer. Temperatures are expected to continue upwards for several days. I enjoyed a longer and earlier walk today. Though over familiar ground. Along the marsh and past the lake. Up through the steep fire tracks in the forest and then back along the main track to the village.

The whole journey was accompanied by the sounds of warblers. They were even out on the fields of oil seed rape. Clinging to taller, flowering weeds and singing.

A family of Redpolls was sharing a dead tree with Goldfinches and a Blue tit. While swallows perched nearby. There were only half dozen Mallard ducks to be seen on the big pond. I returned with my trousers soaked up to the knees from wading through long grass in the woods.

The Danish supermarkets, which offer home delivery, are getting increasingly lax. More and more items are out of stock. Since they charge for delivery it isn't exactly a charity. If we have to reorder, perhaps in the vain hope of renewed stock, then that's another delivery charge totally regardless of fulfilment.

Trying to organise completely different meals at very short notice, is becoming ever more tiresome. How are we supposed to cope with a complete lack of bread or rolls from both supermarket services? What is the point of long term, self-isolation? If we then have to break quarantine to personally shop around for these missing items?

~~

22.06.2020 Hvor er min gratis elbil? Where is my free electric car?

~~

Monday 22nd 60-67F, rather heavy overcast with a fitful breeze. A walk to the lanes in warm sunshine. It has already reached 67F. Three hares were sunbathing on the winter flood plains in the fields.

Denmark's election promise to fight climate change by reducing its CO2 production by 0.07% by 2330 2430 is slowly taking shape. All the other Danish parties have been making a fuss over the lack of progress or even any announcements. Well they would, wouldn't they? As if they were doing anything except increase CO2 and abandon decades of climate care and research while they were <cough> "in power." As loyal servants and brown nosers of the farmers.

The plan now is to phase out gas and oil central heating systems entirely at the home owner's expense. Going over to a heat pump will not leave any change from £10,000 equivalent. Perhaps this is just a sly way to reduce car sales by impoverishing the entire population instead of just the poor? This is suggested just as the Danish public abandons public transport because of the Jinping Virus. Whoops! 

The Danish banks are talking about favourable loans for buying electric cars. They might as well hand the money straight to the taxman instead. The cars are largely unaffordable precisely because of hefty, Danish, import taxes. There must surely be half-submerged, Pacific atolls with more electric cars than Denmark!

A new [voluntary] rule will look into Denmark's habit of buying rare trees as wood chips for burning in Danish power stations. Shipped across the world from the endangered, Amazon Rain Forest. In future "they" will have to check [voluntarily] for <cough> sustainability. Woohoo! You really couldn't make this stuff up! Is this how you sell transparent hypocrisy?

Denmark is desperately avoiding applying a CO2 tax. Not sure why. When Denmark's national sport is taxation. It cost 2-4 times as much to live in Denmark than anywhere else in Europe. Only Switzerland is more expensive. Because they like the exclusivity image to sell their trinkets and other male jewellery to millionaire sports and media persons.Thank god I am not an "influencer!" Or I'd have to carry a glistering, divers weight on my emaciated wrist. Or be roasted online. 

~~

20.06.2020 Give me sunshine. Now will do.

~~

Saturday 20th 60-66F Heavy overcast. A breeze from a northerly direction behind the trees. Yesterday's thunderstorm warning passed without incident. The same warning continues this morning.

It has stayed dry so far. Only slightly brighter than yesterday with even a few patches of blue in the grey. Another walk to the lanes with voluntary extensions.

Still snapping away getting used to the new camera. 236 snaps today. Plus a shed load more later. Just reached 1100 images in three days.

Not quite so dark but still heavily overcast in the afternoon. Exploring macro potential of the 12-60mm in the garden. Sharlachglut hybrid Gallica rose with yellow longhorn beetle guest at the table. 60mm [124mm FF] 1/250, f/7.1, ISO 400.

Sunday 21st 60-76F, a bright start but some cloud expected. Here it comes now at high speed from the west. Blobs of the white stuff are belting across despite little movement in the trees. A walk to the village. Only 170 pictures so far. Lots more after a short ride to the lake. The trike makes an excellent base for greatly increased range over walking for photographing wildlife. The time saving over walking there and back [even briskly] gives me far more time to play. There is almost no chance of contact with anybody. Bright sunshine for much of the day.

~~ 

15.06.2020 Warm and humid.

~~

Monday 15th 69-73F, a long, warm and sunny day is forecast. The temperature has increased by 20F since I got up. Just a brisk walk to the lanes. Traffic quiet at times, Average at others. The grasses were almost glowing in the sunshine, in places. So I snapped at some with my ageing camera.

My TZ7 is over 11 years old! The zoom keeps going the wrong way and successfully downloading my latest images into Picasa is becoming a daily gamble. A 7 mile errand on the trike in the afternoon.

Tuesday 16th 60-73F. Wall to wall sunshine. No jacket today and I was still too warm plodding along the silent lanes in the bright sunshine. A bit more traffic on the main road but long gaps between the odd car. A short ride to the lake before lunch to watch the ducks and grebes.

Wednesday 17th 62-77F, bright start but much more cloudy today. A rather warm walk to the lanes. Traffic modest and mostly lady drivers. The cloud is clearing to longer periods of sunshine. While the maturing crops are really showing their differences now. Their colour and texture are quite distinct from each other.

Still being treated to birdsong in the hedgerows. There are several birds nesting in the garden. Including a busy wren borrowing a metal stand for an impregnable nest.

Thursday 18th 60-73F, another, warm and mostly sunny day is forecast. Early walk to the lanes. Saw one hare. The wren family are mobile around the garden. There are at least three young bumbling about.

Friday 19th 61-64F Dark overcast with the threat of rain, cloudbursts and thunder. It was bit damp  at times but nothing more.

A bird of prey went almost right over my head in the lanes. I lifted my new camera [after eleven years of the TZ7] and snapped away. Capturing 9 shots in only a second or two. I know the picture is crap but I was quite pleased for my second day with a completely new camera. First time out of the garden.

The long tail suggests a Red kite. Except that the bird just seemed far too small. I couldn't confirm a kite's V-tail from any of my images. Possibly a Eurasian Marsh harrier? 60/120mm, 1/500 at 5.6 ISO200. I have heavily cropped the original 8Mb images and brightened both with more gamma.

To my shame I took 465 still images on my walk this morning. All of which were rather dull and lifeless due to the heavy overcast and operator error. I should have boosted the EV but was far too used to the TZ7's automatic service on a plate. Complete with entertainment, bib and doggy bag.

That said, the TZ7 took several seconds to think between each shot. It even added a delay after pressing the shutter release. It would be difficult to take a picture of a moving car with the TZ7. The car would have long left the scene, visited the car wash, then driven home and parked in the garage.

The new camera can catch it before you press the shutter! Which sounds like time travel but isn't. The camera records earlier frames from the first, half press for metering and autofocus. Which are added to the burst of frames which follow completion of the full button depression.

~~

13.06.2020 Saturday 13th unlucky for a tiny vole.

~~

Saturday 13th 61-66F, heavy overcast and rather breezy. Possible rain and thunderstorms. I walked around the rural block. About three miles and mostly devoid of traffic. Everything is growing luxuriously. The coots had young on the village pond again this year. The verge grows ever more verdant. Making the pond increasingly private for the wildlife. 

A Red kite has been foraging in our area for the past few days. Soaring effortlessly at low speed over the fields and gardens. It criss-crossed our garden repeatedly yesterday but missed the dead vole on the main drive. The tiny creature was probably prey to one of the domestic cats.

A day of heavy skies and repeated thunder but not a lot of rain [so far.]

Sunday 14th 62F, bright sunshine with variable cloud forecast. A pleasant, but breezy walk, going in both directions. I decided a change of route after a few hundred yards. A lot of traffic for a Sunday.

Another American has been publicly executed by a racist policeman. This time for falling asleep in his car in Atlanta in the very Un-united States. Apparently the recently deceased couldn't afford a team of ambulance chasers to defend him. Unlike Chump. Who can. At taxpayer's expense.

~~

12.06.2020 Fears of even worse, second wave after re-opening.

~~

Friday 12th 62F, grey overcast and rather breezy. A later walk to the lanes. Where the infinite variety of flowering grasses, on the verges, is quite mind blowing. Somebody, presumably the council, had sprayed off the concrete blocks on the insides of the bends. Killing all the poppies. The only plants which were growing there.

The grey skies gave the wind an almost melancholy feel. I do prefer a nice bit of sunshine.

Blogger is broken again. I'm getting a blank rectangle instead of being shown my images to select from. It finally worked after a dozen attempts. My ISP tech has given me advice to cure our Internet problems. It's right back up to 200Mbps for now after dropping as low as 40Mbps.

The EU is pressing hard for reopening of national borders. Which opens up Denmark to all the potential consequences of Sweden's lack of control. Denmark closed early and locked down tightly. With a total death toll, so far, approaching "only" 600. Germany is under better control and the tens of thousands of annual tourists, already here, pose much less of a threat than the Swedes.

If Denmark can keep a lid on things, for just long enough, then a vaccine or antidote might become available. Hopefully sooner rather than later. Meanwhile the southern US states are already seeing a massive upsurge in case after a mild relaxation of their lock down. Their hospitals will be totally unable to cope with many more patients.

Let that be a lesson to the career sociopaths who put economics before [lost] human lives. We need completely new ways of doing things. Which don't involve high annual growth rates. Nor a lifetime of utterly pointless commuting to a money recycling mill. Just to keep the money laundering, offshore investors happy! If the AI robots are going to push 60% or more out of a job then why not make the adjustments now? While we still have time and a completely unprecedented opportunity.

~~

11.06.2020 Y'all want a rain of blood with that?

~~

Thursday 11th 55F, overcast, damp and very windy. Rain was forecast and then downgraded to overcast. An early walk is likely before I start rambling on about the irrelevant. The forecast was wrong. At halfway the landscape was obscured by the sheer weight of falling rain!

Luckily I had worn my winter walking jacket out of respect for the wind and leaden sky. I sheltered beneath a roadside tree for a while but soon pressed on. Into the teeth of the constant traffic and the tyre spray from the empowered and the entitled.

Those who spent so much on their private commuter, just to get to work, that they could [allegedly] no longer afford the [purely voluntary] driving lessons. Or do you have some other explanation for the daily carnage? Which makes the pandemic look like an extended holiday for medical workers.

1.35 million, worldwide, average, annual, death toll. Pedestrians and cyclists bear the brunt of bad driving. This huge, annual death toll is tolerated without any real effort to keep death off the roads. Driving license ownership is a basic human right. Even for repeat offenders, serial killers, drunks and drug addicts. 

List of countries by traffic-related death rate - Wikipedia

Here's some more slavery news: In the true spirit of filthy rich football: Filthy oil rich Qatar is not paying its immigrant workers for building their stadia for the coming World Cup. Now that is overt racism as well as blatant slavery. Not that you'd find a single spectator, nor wealthy player, willing to forego attendance out of conscience or empathy. Most immigrant workers send money home to support impoverished families. Wealthy footballers buy palaces and luxury cars. Talking of which: Many of the palaces in Denmark were owned, or built, by slave traders.

10.06.2020 A Tesla a day keeps "the blues" at bay.

~~

Wednesday 10th 57-63F, bright but cloudy. More of the same is promised. The veiled sunshine was no less warm as I climbed the hill to capture some views. A family of Redpolls was browsing the flowering weeds rising above the oil seed rape.

The traffic was back to normal. Noisy and repetitive. No hares today but I saw two different birds of prey. A Red kite and a harrier. A Red kite flew over the garden later.

Petrol heads are demanding a change in the law. To make Tesla fit their wheels with cardboard flappers to make "engine" noises. This follows an older production Tesla completely trashing a V12 Ferrari in an organized drag race. The Tesla costs less than $100k against over $400k for the seriously embarrassed, red thing.

I suppose this means all the bank robbers, gangsters, loan sharks, investment bankers, people traffickers, modern slavers, footballers, pimps and their drug dealers, are all going to have to <cough> switch to Tesla. Whatever.

~~

9.06.2020 Hare today, gone tomorrow.

~~

Tuesday 9th 50F, wall to wall sunshine and a gentle breeze. It was so quiet and pleasant that I extended my walk. Climbing up the hill to take in the distant sea. It feels similar to walking the narrow lanes of my rural childhood back in the 1950s.

The absence of traffic being the most obvious reminder of better and worse times. The excited warbler's birdsong from every tree and bush. The blackbirds a more constant, but gentler theme tune. The pretty weeds in flower on the verge and dog roses in the hedgerows. Cloud shadows, chasing each other across the undulating crops.

The two hares were grazing on the, still almost bare, winter flooding patch again. They lolloped off to the far end. To hide, almost halfheartedly, behind clumps of weed. All sticky-up ears and bright eyes when seen through my binoculars.

More cloud now as I wait for morning coffee and toasted rolls. We are down to our last jar of high fruit content, orange marmalade. The last bag of organic porridge oats is also sinking fast. 

A ride to a village on an errand. Only about 3 miles.

~~

8.06.20 Why worry?

~~

Monday 8th 53F, rather overcast. A day of sunny periods is on offer. Make the most of it! A walk to the village. Even more traffic. Birdsong in between tyre roar. A Moorhen with a fluffy, black pompom of a chick. Browsing the lawn by a garden pond.

I enjoyed an hour by a small lake photographing the water birds in the afternoon. A couple of miles on the trike which makes an excellent bench for binoculars and other bits and pieces.

Why worry? 

If the distant roar is the sky falling then so be it. 
Risk avoidance is unhealthy if mental paralysis ensues.
Stay fit, stay light on your feet, stay flexible.
Exercise your mind and body at every chance and eat properly.

Be prepared for anything which comes your way.
Maximise setbacks in your own favour by positive thinking.

Earn your own keep by doing everything possible yourself.
[Except brain surgery.]
Your last day should be one of wonder and learning.
You never know which skills you will need next.

Avoid injuring others except in self defense:
Of your own rights to life, liberty and happiness.
Treat others with no less respect than yourself.
But do give them silly names if they don't respect you.

Spectators of life have no value except to themselves.
Always play the walk-on part in your own life. Never the "extra."

Extras pay others to polish their pride in ownership of the ephemeral.
You never own anything unless you willfully destroy it. Or put it in a vault.
Which denies you and those who follow, the pleasure of its existence.

Empowerment and entitlement are not good bedfellows.
They are opposites.. which attract only imbeciles.
Look around you. I rest my case.

~~

7.06.2020 Self praise is [absolutely] no recommendation!

~~

Sunday 7th 54F. Bright but cloudy and windy. More cloud expected. A walk to the lanes. The trash is back! As soon as they open up the lock-down the trash is back. And I'm not talking about the litter.

It must be difficult for historians to find another time in human history when a worst crop of self-seeking, self-promoting inadequates was wielding power. Von Chump [immignorunt], Tsar Pootin, Sly Jinping, Boris the Clown, Moronsons & Ballsarenarrow. What a bunch of utter wasters! What a waste of genes. What a waste of oxygen!

But was it really ever any different? Whatever the flavour of social control the scum at the top is always the cream of the crop floating on top of the political sewer. The message for humanity? If they are at the top then we must surely be the lower orders? If those at the top are worthless clowns and degenerate scum, then we must be something the dog brought in. On its filthy paw. We are unworthy! We must follow their orders to the death. We must practice and nourish our unquestioning sociopathy in every possible way.  

Feeling important comes first. We thrive on the praise of lesser beings above us. Usually our bosses and leaders. Who must obviously enjoy a higher level of sociopathy than us. Because they are the [self] chosen.

And so on up the tottering tower of [supposed] leadership. Where each new level is a worse sociopath and always working at least several tiers above their natural ability.

The problem for humanity is that this is a strongly inverse effect. The higher they climb, the lower their ability. The mouthy, street sweeper rides in the presidential limousine. Propped up, by tier upon tier, of career civil servants, generals and advisors. All just hoping for a fat pension and a knighthood. As long as they don't question the orders from the raving fuckwit in the next bigger office upstairs.

Our pyramidal social control system even works up to a point. It has so much inertia that it takes a war or a pandemic to cause a famine of shiny new toys to bemuse us all. Until, that is, the one at the top begins to believe their own propaganda. You don't ever get to the top by being humble. It takes ruthlessness. It takes victims. Lots of them. It takes a lack of promotion for those with the most talent. Fair competition must not be allowed or comparisons will become inevitable. Valet or president? Eeeny, meany, miney, moron.

The inevitable result is exactly what we see around us every day. The lazy clown from the basement skyrockets to the top through self promotion. Every nation is an accident waiting to happen. We put far too much power in their hands. When they were already utterly corrupt.

Sociopaths have their own sense of right and wrong. Because they have no conscience it is always somebody else at fault. Because they are Teflon coated no amount of heat nor blame can affect them. All the other sociopaths, on their way up, see their chance to ride the storm into the stratosphere.

In reality, the human pyramid is actually inverted. It sways precariously on its pointy little nose. In an infinite desert, devoid of all humanity. The human race is a vast, ever-growing funnel. Where all the shit sinks straight to the bottom. Where our "great leaders" fight for office space and the limelight and cultured self-importance. As the pyramid sinks inevitably and inexorably into the darkness and the unknown of a dystopian future.

Those spread out at "the base" are actually enjoying freedom and fresh air and nature and sunlight. Except that they are constantly told these are worthless trivia. That they must bow to distant authority.

That they must take meaningless jobs in the dark, money mills for all their waking hours. To feed their offspring with poisons in order to become valued citizens of Earth. To grow fat and lazy and ride around in huge, shiny wheelchairs which pollute our planet. Without their wheelchairs they would be housebound and at the mercy of a "feeder."

They constantly moan about their poor health and their miserable lot. To end up in the soulless tower blocks and endless ranks of traffic blighted terraces. Reserved only for the truly unworthy. Those who were never intended to inherit the wealth of the 1%. Who live in their highly fashionable and infinitely unaffordable, lower basements and bunkers. Where being one of the 1% means being 99% sociopath. Where the difference between serial killers and employers is only a matter of time and sheer, bloody numbers.

Stay safe. Stay silent. Stay dumb. Question nothing you hear. You are unworthy!

6.6.6.20 Keep the real trash off the streets!

 ~~

Saturday 6th 55F, windy but bright with some cloud. A walk to the lanes in a gusty wind. Fresh and delightful in bright sunshine with crops on either side. Still surrounded by songbirds in the roadside hedges and trees.

Giving some form of camera to almost everybody on the planet is beginning to pay off. Idiot cyclists who attack and bully kids for putting up anti-racism posters can become world famous literally overnight. Y'all wanna be world famous, white trash? Your dreams have come true. The Chump Medal [for bravery in the face of overwhelming odds] is in the post:



Or, sociopathic police officers. Who shove over an unarmed and peaceful, 75 year old man in the street, causing serious injury. They may well enjoy their entire team resigning from their special, police, brutality force.

That doesn't stop the cameras truthfully recording their sociopathic behaviour. The fact that lockstep thugs wear uniforms makes it all the more telling. Thank goodness they have voted themselves off the streets. The people of America are all the safer for their absence.

Empowered and entitled? Not for very much longer. Automatically backing up your colleagues for the completely indefensible? Of course. Hitler knew how to bring out the bestial in weak men. As does Chump, of course. Appeal to the lowest common denominator.

Point the trained trash at a perceived enemy. It never [ever] fails. Watch the mindless behaviour of these particular thugs: Watch the third officer instantly squashing any sign of weakness, or empathy. Constant reinforcement. Ask no questions. Might is right. Reinforcement. No compassion. No sympathy. Reinforcement. No empathy. You are a trained animal. Nothing more. You are a low IQ robot. Nothing more. Intelligence has no place here. Reinforcement. Did you suppose you were chosen for your intelligence? Seriously?

 
 

The WHO is changing its stance on masks. The public should now wear [fabric] masks in public places and particularly in shops and on public transport. The mask is just one of several behaviours to protect yourself from the Jinping Virus. Social distancing and fastidious hand washing are equally important. Relaxation of the rules for society's movements does not mean the virus has gone away. Far from it!

It seems the average level of dumb ignorance amongst Americans has fallen far lower than many had feared. Huge numbers are bleaching food to try to kill the virus. A large fraction of the US population has gargled with bleach! Good luck with that! Is there any antidote to Brutalis Von Chump? Tragically, not yet.

3.06.2020 Warm and mellow..

Wednesday 3rd 57-72F, bright but cloudy gain. A walk to the lanes in sunny warmth with a light and pleasant breeze. T-shirt weather. Far more traffic than of late. The countryside is looking very lush and green. Cloud now much thicker than yesterday.

Internet off for over an hour this morning. Is it us or them? Their website shows no breaks in service. And, no, Ms Recorded Message, I can't use their website to discover a problem with the internet to save phoning. Our landline also goes off at the same time. 

A few dark clouds with rumbles of thunder in the afternoon [15.00] Possible showers.

Thursday 4th 53F, overcast and breezy but still quite bright. Heavy rain warning for most of Denmark. Possible 50mm or 2" with thunder. Starting at 10 am so I had better have an early walk. And so it was. A brisk walk to the lanes in spotting rain and even heavier traffic than yesterday.

The internet has been off again despite showing it was connected. Wireless modem? Why would that affect the fiber box? Finally, after waiting five minutes for each side to open, they admit they have a problem. The Internet has become such an important part of life that it is impossible to function without it. 

Friday 5th 50-60?F, a day of sunshine, showers and breezy is promised. An early walk to the lanes in overcast and slightly breezy conditions. Long pauses between traffic.

The Internet seems back to normal as far as instant, browser response times are concerned. Except that it is running at only about 1/4 of the usual speed according to online speed tests. Interestingly, the former speeds were advertised as guaranteed. 200Mbps. Where do I queue [with adequate social distancing] for my refund?

1st June 2020 Second US Civil War declared by Donny Von 1% in DIY Perfect Storm.

~~

Monday 1st June 66-72F, bright sunshine. Busy at home.

Tuesday 2nd 60F,  some sun, or a little sun or lots of sun forecast.

The Second US Civil War has just been officially declared by Dummy Von Hypocrite [German immigrant] from the steps of Elysium.

While standing outside a <cough> church and clutching a <cough> bible. I know, I know! 🤣 Y'all couldn't make it up! 🤣 The symbolism of El Presidente Donny Von Victim needing an army and teargas to protect himself from "his own Great people" just to reach the nearest church for yet another photo op. 🤣

You can almost feel his victim-hood. After all, he never knowingly made a grand entrance to any room where the average IQ didn't instantly plummet by 10 points. Only those who were paid to do so bothered to hang around. Imagine always being the dumbest person in the room? It must surely get him down?

Shots have already been fired into crowds of peaceful protestors while police officers turned off their body cams. They killed a local businessman. Income level unknown, but presumed guilty of being poor, or black, or both. He [allegedly] refused to lie down to be summarily executed by a self-serving, white trash, police officer's knee at Von Chump's behest.

Donny Von Elite is sending in the [heavily armed] troops to maintain his grip on power. As his swindling election hopes rely solely on white supremacy activists, the Extreme Right, the KKK, Neo-Nazis, gap-toothed rednecks and multi-millionaire TV bible thumpers.

I can see quite a few cases of PTSD cropping up before long. Will black soldiers really open fire on their [unarmed] fellow countrymen? Will they then be guilty of war crimes? Or just murder?

History is certainly in the making. We must all hold our breath and pretend not to notice. While "Nero" Von Chump throws another, childish tantrum from the safety of his self-made bunker. [With the solid gold, personal toilet bowl.]

How will Chump get his white supremacy message out without Infantile Twatter? Well, there's always his billionaire buddy Mark's Very Own Maskbook [for dictators.] Pootin and Sly "Pandemic" Jinping must be laughing all the way to the bank! 😏

Never mind, I expect it's all just a "mild case of flu and soon over." What's a few more hundred thousand deaths in a pandemic? They were all going to die of [prescription] drug overdoses anyway.
