Mending the Deck Chairs on the Titanic
Reflections on The First Sunday in Advent, in This Year of Grace, 2024 AD - Part 1
“Almighty God, give us grace that we may cast away the works of darkness, and put upon us the armour of light, now in the time of this mortal life, in which thy Son Jesus Christ came to visit us in great humility; that in the last day, when he shall come again in his glorious majesty, to judge both the quick and the dead, we may rise to the life immortal; through him who liveth and reigneth with thee and the Holy Spirit, now and ever. Amen.”
— Archbishop Thomas Cranmer

07:04 – Awake about 06:15 to pee a very little bit… Back to bed… And up again, and up again... This “getting old” nonsense. It’s for the birds. Finally gave up on getting back to sleep 06:45, and Eldritch was clamourous to be fed anyway.
Okay so where are we the scheme of things...? Waking up to the realization today is Sunday, December 1, in this year of grace 2024, and what have I to show for it? Well... today is my second quiet day at work, and my “Friday”. Then 2 days off, and then back at ‘er on Wednesday, same as its been since I returned to afternoon Kiosk duties in 2023 and I thought, a slight pay increase, but mostly because the graveyard shifts were starting to catch up to me.
I learned a new term recently, “Normalcy Bias”... Yeah that would sum up the situation both personally and worldwide (except for a few places) since I restarted work with The C___’s when was it? July 2022? Let’s have a look... Yes, July 14, 2022. Bastille Day. How appropriate. One graveyard shift at Government House but yanked because they were still demanding The Lethal Injection, then back to Graving Docks July 15, and I’ve been there ever since. January 6, 2023 (The Epiphany, how synchronicitous), back to work in the Kiosk... almost 2 years now... The Covid Fraudemic sort-of petered out, but I’ve gathered the deaths from The Lethal Injections are becoming a soaring crescendo, of which we’re hearing in the Lying Whore Media, not a peep. And the monsters responsible? Still in power. Still not apprehended, never mind held to account.
An election in this 3rd-world shithole of a province in October; instead of a rout, the NDP got in again by a few hairs, although I’m hearing plenty of stories but again, not in the Lying Whore Media; that the election was rigged; the usual shit’n’shinola of mail-in ballots, ballot box stuffing, mislaid ballot boxes and of course, Dominion Voting Machines. And also of course as Mark Twain pointed out, if voting made any difference they wouldn’t let us do it. At the Federal Level at least two attempts by Young Global Leaders School Graduate Pierre Poilievre to do a non-confidence motion and of course the douchebags in the Federal NDP and The Green Party continue to support that despicable little smut Justine Castreau... and to add insult to injury, her Merry Men...
08:01 Just about a month in the new digs, about double the space of what we had but still going to be something of a challenge... Just in the workshop looking at those old planes and rusty chisels and bits and pieces of crap and how the Hell am I going to sort all this stuff? No room, no-where to put anything and setting up that piece of pegboard to serve as a table will be a total pain in the ass and it’s so wide it’ll be bloody awkward at best... Point of fact it’s not going to work, I need a banquet table or two card tables. Thinking about making two more narrow benches to fit in the space between my wide and narrow benches, give me a bit more working surface... 9’9” = 117” ÷ 2 = 58.5”... then start on the antique soprano sax, get it all mended and lovely – and then I won’t even be able to give it away. Possibly donate it to the University of Victoria Music Department? That would be about it... clearing the space – I wish Medea would get on with it – buying a used sofa, chair and coffee table so we can at least be comfortable – not to mention chest-of-drawers and dresser to replace the ones we had to throw away back in April 2022...
(Later on:) Made it work. Sort of. The hobbits of Tolkien’s legendarium had a good word for useless things they didn’t need but couldn’t bear to throw away: They called them mathoms and liked to give them as birthday gifts to people who didn’t want them. 🙄 Meanwhile thinking of what to do with all these old tools (“there was a young
man from Stambool / who soliloquized thus to his tool…”🤔); finally settled on the purchase of a new tool cabinet, now all I have to do is figure out how I’ll pay for it.. prices in Canuckistan Dollars, but still… Kinda like the one on the left ‘cause of the cute little spokes on the wheels…
08:21 Meanwhile first thing this morning from Cryptogon:
08:36 Since the sputtering out of the Fraudemic, it would seem — like the Bourbons of 19th-Century France — our malicious meddlesome busybodies and enlightened totalitarians worldwide have learned nothing and forgotten nothing. Would anyone with a bit of computer knowledge reading this care to think what some 15-year-old hacker with time on his hands could do with “digital IDs”? 💣
Yeah, it doesn’t bear thinking about! 😱
But it’s going to happen, as sure as the Goddess made little green apples! Because of course the rapacious clowns purportedly in charge of this shitshow in addition to being malevolent and malfeasant — are not at all clever. This may be our salvation.🤔
And, moving right along… 🙄💩
Or how about this wee chestnut?
How do these f***tards and psychopaths get to where they get to? How do they manage to stay there!? Kafka couldn’t make this shit up!
But never mind, on the way to work this afternoon, I found this:
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
Meanwhile the news from Ukraine, NATO sending 100,000 troops in... from Paul Craig Roberts:
I think of Yanina B____ in Ukraine and the oboes I sent her back in November 2021, so she’d have some instruments for her students to use...
10 weeks later Vladimir sent the troops and tanks trundling in… she could well be dead at this point... 😥 An action solely to protect the Russians of Ukraine’s eastern provinces we were told.. But Poopypants Biden started shipping weapons and money to the detriment of Americans.. not a word about Tony’s “gain of function” labs, nor Hunter’s escapades, and when Zelenskyy was all set to surrender didn’t English Prime Minister Boris Johnson stick his meddlesome oar in, urging him to renege on his surrender proposal and fight on to the last Ukranian teenager! Why are our demonic, bastard, and above all moronic politicians doing this? Then I recall a clip probably via Jeff Berwick of that monster Klaus Schwab gloating that Vladimir Putin is another graduate of his “Young Global Leaders School” and thus how do I know all of this is just so much smoke and mirrors: “Oceania was at war with East Asia. Oceania had always been at war with East Asia”... 🤔 Northern Truth Seeker’s thesis the Ukraine War is simply a means of depopulating Ukraine of its people so the “Ashke-Nazis” can move in and create a new Khazaria is looking more and more credible, all the time.
All I know is an awful lot of innocent people are being immolated to protect the interests of the very rich.. and very evil..

“Biden Pardons Hunter Biden
On Sunday, December 1, 2024, President Joe Biden announced that he has pardoned his son, Hunter Biden, for his convictions in two federal cases. The pardon covers Hunter Biden’s convictions for gun and tax charges, as well as any other offenses he may have committed between January 1, 2014, and December 1, 2024.
Background
Hunter Biden was convicted in June 2024 of lying on a federal form when he purchased a gun in 2018 and swore that he wasn’t a drug user. He also pleaded guilty to charges accusing him of a scheme to avoid paying at least $1.4 million in taxes. The cases stemmed from a period in Hunter Biden’s life when he struggled with drug and alcohol abuse before becoming sober in 2019.
Pardon Details
The pardon is a reversal of President Biden’s previous promises not to use his presidential powers to benefit his family members. The White House had repeatedly ruled out a pardon or clemency for Hunter Biden, with press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre stating as recently as November 8 that the answer remains no.”
Proving just in case any of us didn’t already know, there’s two kinds of Justice in this world… one for the Rich and Powerful.. and one for the rest of us.
23:49 And with that, Gentle Readers, I’m going to call it a night, and suddenly make this a “two-parter”… The message of hope and good cheer I intended to end with, just isn’t coming to mind… and I still have Isra-Hell to talk about, and The Donald’s appalling Cabinet Appointments, and his delightful Antisemitism Act.
Good night to all of you, and I’ll leave you for now, with Yanina’s melancholy piping… On one of the oboes (had they been new, easily worth $5,000 each) I shipped to her from the other side of the planet… 😥

The lunatics aren't only running the asylum, they are adding a triple story extension:).
The situation is rather grim, indeed. To add insult to injury (yay!), although Carlin can be cathartic, if you are white he most certainly "doesn't give a fuck about you":
