The Belated Birth of #MenToo?

 I don’t usually take interest in these celebrities tit for tats but clips of the defamation case brought by the actor Johnny Depp against his ex-wife the actress Amber Heard has been popping up on my twitter feed and I have been watching them with interest.

Domestic abuse accusations are something which should be taken very serious but it’s also something which over the past few years has been getting weaponised by bitter woman in order to demonise men, divorce cases are the usual reason but so are child contact cases where it can be used in justification to stop a father having contact with his child. 

This last example false allegations against men (fathers) is particularly effective as due to a child being involved the normal tenet of law “innocent until proven guilty” is flipped in its arse to “guilty until proven innocent” and the burden of proof lays with the (often falsely) accused then the family court can be a very lengthy and expensive process to fight against a child alienator who uses this strategy and expenses are often not rewarded to the successful party as in law (at least in Scots Law) it’s naively thought that both parents have the best interests of the child at heart! 

Luckily no children are involved in Depp vrs Heard so perhaps just a bitter woman wanting some publicity (calling herself the voice of domestic victims as if a saint) but of course, to simply make this conclusion would be as bad as the opposite which has seemed to be more in vogue these days where is man is always guilty.  

Is Amber Heard guilty of weaponising domestic abuse making false claims against Johnny Depp? Well she is not coming across as the most saintly honest of people so who know? Some of her lies are already been on display for all to see when she took the stand and was cross examined but the jury is still out deliberating as I write this.  If she is telling lies then, like child alienators and other bitter twisted women, she is the scum of the earth and deserves every bit of bad press that will surely come her way as such people make it more difficult for the genuine voice of the victims of domestic abuse and rape to be heard and believed. 

I am awaiting the findings of the jury with interest.  Amber Heard is certainly not going to come out of this smelling of roses but will it represents the end of #MeToo and the beginning of #MenToo (the acknowledgement of abuse of men suffered at the hands of women)? I don’t know but perhaps when the “gentler” sex shout out “domestic violence” the militia won’t start tying the hangman’s knot until all facts have been heard…woman violence against men has always been there, it always will be but not always given the same acknowledgment. 

Viral …covid lab leak theory

 

A very enlightening read even though somewhat over padded and some chapters stretch the boundaries of the limits of us laymen 

Leading British and US scientists believe it was likely that Covid accidentally leaked from a laboratory but were concerned that further debate would harm science in China, this is a fact which China has been trying to hush and many whistle blowers have disappeared! 

“further debate would do unnecessary harm to science in general and science in China in particular”

We (the western world) really must be so reliant upon China for cheap shit and low price deals and who knows what?

The book covers the mystery of Covid’s origin and how unbelievable a virus normally found in horseshoe bats in caves in the far south of China or south-east Asia turned up in a city a thousand miles north (and contrary to popular believe they were not on sale at the wet market in Wuhan, nor were Pangolins and no traces of covid were every discovered there. It has effectively been ruled out of the origin of the virus so where is the origin? 

China can discover water on the moon but not the origin of the most dangerous virus to hit mankind in the past century! 

Viruses leaking from labs are a much more common than we would thing ( a quick Google search checking reliable sites will confirm this and not just from China)  

The truth remains this: the outbreak happened in a city with the world’s largest research programme on bat-borne corona-viruses in The Wuhan Institute of Virology and deduction using the Occam's razor concept (the simplest explanation is the most likely) then the lab leak theory seems to be the best bet. 

Rebranding the Scottish Junkie

 Some “rebranding” happening up here …I have been reading about the Scottish government initiative that’s underway to stop people using the term “Junkie” (a Scottish slang for drug addict), in order not to get chastised by the police when reporting a scaggie junkie ghoul trying to commit a crime to fund their next fix or shooting up outside the local primary scho, we need to mind out Ps & Qs with the language we use.

May I suggest as a template for that phone call to the boys in blue (or girls, or non-binary gender non specific) 

…the following…

 “…please, pretty please (be super polite)  when time allows from filling your daily tick sheet on persecuting thought crimes and warning people off for not wearing panty liners on their faces whilst in public, could you send one of your officers, preferably a diversity hireling who in fluent In Gaelic, to my address toot sweet as I see a (don’t mention a gender) person (taking a chance, they could be identifying themselves as a unicorn) with a possible (you are not an expert so we wary of being held to account here) drugs problem administering a possible (you have no medical degree) drug (could be a saline solution) outside the property in which I live (not your property as by the time it may go to court, 20 or 30 years time, it may be a Labour government so “all property is theft” so it’s you who may get sent to the Gulag) 

…there it is, as easy as that and the J word was not used!  …but a simplified version would just be to call the offender a “andúileach drugaí”  which of course as you should know is Gaelic for “drug addict” and Gaelic appears to be the language the police use up here from what I see written on their vans!

Not as Black and White as they would have you believe

 Looking across the Atlantic at US of A and it’s interesting (to me at least) how Kyle Rittenhouse was (and in many quarters still is despite his acquittal) portrayed my the media and Biden as a white supremacist terrorist but then there is Darrell Brooks, a black man and (from indication if his social media) a BLM supporter who drove his SUV into a packed Christmas market killing at least 6 people, similar to the 2016 Berlin terror attack by ISIS, but the media seem to be very eager to rule out terrorism or anti-white hate, in fact they even go as far as to say it was practically an accident he drove into the crowds of people as he was trying to escape a knife fight! Also there is the inconvenient truth of his long criminal past as a violent sex offender…getting George Floyd vibes here, will people be taking the knee for Darrell soon? A victim of white privilege that led him to crime? Perhaps Ben and Jerry will name an Ice Cream after him …SUV Darrell’s Rocky Road Choc Chip! 

Another inconvenient truth is his history of anti-White hate in his social media comments and rap music lyrics…but let’s not look too deep into this, the media want a narrative of a binary good and bad, Kyle Rittenhouse a white suprematist, poor Darrell just took the wrong turn escaping from a knife fight! 

Here is a wee story ..A biker is riding by the zoo when he sees a little girl leaning into the lion's cage.

Suddenly, the lion grabs her by the cuff of her jacket and tries to pull her inside to eat her, under the eyes of her screaming parents. The biker jumps off his Harley, runs to the cage and hits the lion square on the nose with a powerful punch. Whimpering from the pain the lion jumps back letting go of the girl, and the biker brings her to her terrified parents who thank him endlessly. A reporter has watched the whole event. The reporter addressing the Harley rider says, 'Sir, this was the most gallant and brave thing I've seen a man do in my whole life.' The Harley rider replies, 'Why, it was nothing, really, the lion was behind bars. I just saw this little kid in danger and acted as I felt right.' The reporter says, 'Well, I'll make sure this won't go unnoticed. I'm a journalist, and tomorrow's paper will have this story on the front page. So, what do you do for a living and what political affiliation do you have?'. The biker replies, 'I'm an soldier just returned from Afghanistan and a Consevative supporter'. The journalist leaves. The following morning the biker buys the paper to see news of his actions, and reads, on the front page: SOLDIER ASSAULTS AFRICAN IMMIGRANT AND STEALS HIS LUNCH.

And that my friends, pretty much sums up the media's approach to the news these days.

White, black, yellow, pink or tiger stripped …we are all the same, there are good and bad in people no matter what the colour of their skin so it’s time for the media to stop race baiting and the left to face facts and use logic and common sense, especially the Democrats in America, sometimes I think it’s because they have a guilt complex because they have driven through a whole raft of social welfare laws that have decimated the family structure, and this has particularly hit the poor black families the hardest so now they feel the need to point the finger and shout “racist” at everyone else…and for reference the Democrats fought on the side of the southern slave owners during the US Civil War and it was Democrats that introduced the Jim Crow laws…perhaps not much interests up here in Scotland but what kicks off in the states ripples across here … we face seen this with George Floyd… even some Scots footballers take the knee and street names in Glasgow had to be changed! 

Epiphany Of The Nationalist

 Mankind has a psychological need for a belief system and as religion is on the decline people try to fill that vacuum with other pursuits of faith and devotion, “wokeness” is a common replacement as is veganism and the various environmental themes but here in Scotland we have Nationalism which fits the space for a blind belief system very well.

The problem though which is arising is that it’s high priests are gradually being found as predators and frauds and such as the case with Salmond who’s followers have denounced his ALBA splinter group and instead prefer to follow the gospels of Sturgeon and the SNP but then with the gradual realisation that she is unable to turn water into Iron Brew they then slink off looking for a new messiah. Their once vehemently passioned posts and memes on social media decline firstly in quality, then quantity then are missing all together as they slink off into Nationalistic atheism but of course they will still denounce the anti-Christ with memes of “these bloody Toaries” as it’s always the low hanging fruit in the garden of Eden yet they don’t come up with alternatives or solutions, some will capitalise on the current “woke” tide attempting to make themselves appear holier than thou as an attempted cover for their Nat folly being exposed, a few may honestly hold up their hands in a Damascus moments admitting there mistake after leaving the Cult of Sturgeon and other may just block the Unionists from seeing their continued posts on social media prefers to preach to an echo chamber of likewise small minds as their embarrassment of quoting out the “good news book” of the 2014 white paper has been exposed as in the same fraudulent light as the Turin shroud. 

Wuhan, the Chinese Chernobyl

 So the Covid outbreak happened in Wuhan, a city with the world’s largest research programme on bat-borne corona-viruses yet we are expected no discount that it leaked from their lab. 

A every increasing number of scientists who have examined the virus have claimed it possesses properties that could not have evolved naturally yet we are still expected to ignore that it may have leaked from a lab.

William of Ockham is rolling in his grave just now (obscure reference to Occam’s razor theory)

The lab leak theory best satisfies Occam. It always has done. To err is human: scientists and technicians make mistakes just like the rest of us. An accidental lab leak requires no forethought, conspiracy or malice, just a single individual making a mistake.

Quite why there has been such vehement political and scientific opposition to this idea escapes me.

The  modification of the proteins in the attachment spikes to make the virus more infectious is not necessarily means it was designed as a chemical weapon . Nothing sinister in that; it is a common technique to aid study of the development and spread of the virus. However, it does mean that you have to make sure that it stays in the laboratory and, if it does escape, you must warn the world at once. The Chinese government seem to be guilty of breaching both duties of care yet why is there still no fingers pointing at this (likely) truth? What does China hold over us to protect it so? Or perhaps the question is who was funding such research that it had to be done out of their own country? Mmmmm? 

Pro-Vaccine but Anti-mandate

 Reading in the News this morning …Austria ENFORCES LOCKDOWN only for the UNVACCINATED from tonight!

Now before you read this I want to something’s very clear …I am pro-vaccine but anti-mandate, I as in me personally weighed up the risks of catching Covid or suffering the (very long odds possible) effects of the vaccine and I choose to get jabbed, I recommend to others to get the vaccine if they were to ask me although I would not force their arms up behind their backs and frog march them in to get it…there is still something in this country called freedom of choice and you should not lose it if you don’t agree to follow the program, Civil liberties are rights, not privileges and should not be taken away if someone refuses to fall into line. 

Oppressors of the freedom to choose have tyrannised those who wish to exercise this human right and as such have evolved into a segregationist dictatorship forcing an medical apartheid into existence. 

I happily and gladly rolled up my sleeve for each jab but I don’t agree this should be forced into those who refuse, although I disagree with their reasons I accept their principles and to force or try to cohere them into doing what is against their will stinks of fascistic totalitarianism! 

We and our allies defeated such a regime in the 40’s but should always be aware of what Nietzsche warned when he talked about battling with “monsters” be careful not to become what you are fighting against “gazed into the abyss for so long they became the very beast they sought to defeat”

As I said before, I don’t necessarily agree with the vaccine sceptics but I can respect their uneasy about hastily developed drugs which long-term consequences are still not fully known. Taking part in the largest medical experiment in human history should not be forced upon us, I choose to as I feel the dangers of catching Covid outweigh the risks of the vaccine yet as I understand it now (it was not so clear early doors so it’s not hypocrisy on my part  if I laid earlier criticism as we can only deal with the information at hand) if you are vaccinated you can still catch it although don’t suffer the effects and you can also still transmit it to others (who are, in my opinion, hopefully vaccinated too) so the question arises why should it be mandatory?  So not to over burden the NHS perhaps as the NHS can’t wait for us all to become Covid-impervious? Ok, that could be a valid point but then again what about health problems exacerbated by coercive restrictions? Does the government ban smoking and drinking alcohol because the effects burden the NHS? 

I believe we should get vaccinated but I also think there is something smelling bad here when governments overstep the mark, Orwellian in many ways and all the more scary for it!
