Pub Crawl

PubCrawl The Rising Sun. On the wall in Pat’s office there must be a map of the Waystone Inn since all of the individual mentions of the pubs layout correlate perfectly with each other and thus to this master architects blueprint. It is a device used by the writer so that he doesn’t get confused one day and accidently have someone go through a door that isn’t there or have the sun rising in the West. The Sun of Temerant rises in the East, just like in our world, although that was a very small crumb to finally track down in a very big book. But find it I did and that gives us a place to start our pub crawl and to see if we cannot recreate Pat’s clever map for ourselves. Long after I had first fallen down the rabbit hole, and my re-reads were somewhere in double figures, I started to collect notes for easy reference, I can barely make sense of my own scrawl now but they aren’t that important really once you learn your way around. It was during one of these re-reads that I jotted down all...

breadcrumbs

Whigimp1 is a good start. Piracy2 puts some pieces on the blackboard. DMPat gives us the pieces but deliberately mixes up the order. Your job is to rearrange them until they best fit.  Further out the breadcrumb trail begins, further still and they become stars. Piracy is a reordering piece Mother of God is a collection piece -lord and lady?  Tripod is a construction piece University is a mapping piece Pub crawl is a spatial awareness 3d Faeolian is stage setting ~ moontime Edge of the map ?

changing of the guard

I felt the winds of change blowing this week. Time has ticked and a new phase has begun. I noticed it  and called it as being the first stirrings of Autumn, although to mankind this date might also herald something else. In the headlines today , aug 22/25,  Famine has been officially declared in the meaning that the third horseman of the apocalypse has officially entered the game. As for the Warhorse, well clearly Everyone has had enough of the Ukraine problem now and so, as perfectly predicted, this leg of the great game is now officially moving into overtime. Peace is the new War, Russia has won, Ukraine has lost and so a new map of eastern Europe needs must be drawn. The Dneipr river border has long been decided as half the new line and this river with no bridges is now the new frontier in the south, right up to the Russian controlled ZNPP. To the North drawing the new frontline will all comes down to who controls the Donbas regions which find themselves playing t...

Maydays

Maydays  It's that time of year again and all things important are moving apace now. Summer has come early to England ( hottest mayday on record) life is good and it's time to check in with a few words about the shape of the world. Trump has just done his second first 100 days and it's been so much worse than most folk imagined possible. The changes he is bringing are unpresidented and he's only just begun rocking the free world in many, many ways, mostly financially. He's departed from the WHO and USAID among others which was a bold statement of intent. He has antagonised nearly every other world leader , either personally or with his new tariffs, and on top of that he is playing silly buggers with his countries borders. All under the banner of Make (north) America Great Again. Liberation Day just marked the kick off of the Trade Wars and the game is now afoot with China taking the first blows. Famine is too strong a word for shortages but it's a beginning and ...

April Fool

I get most of my news from the BBC World Service, the mouthpiece of the machine, and Occasionally, if you listen long enough, you can hear code coming down the clax. Now first up you need to get a handle on just how much vast the bbc's reach is. You can pick it up anywhere on the planet with a simple radio and day or night everyone in the world can hear the news from blighty. Oh course, they need to be careful. They have to appear neutral in all things, even if they clearly support one party over another. but that's not hard when you control the narrative, but altering the truth too much leaves scars. Their power is such that they  can pass whatever they call truth around the globe, on the hour every hour. Publicising important events, Advertising whatever angle they desire. They offer you the world in their oyster and whilst the BBC doesn't Do adverts, per se, subliminal messaging that goes under the radar is available. Listen very carefully to these stories. Listen to how...

the Last Trump

Trump began 2025 with some outrageous plans to a) take over Greenland and b) take over the Panama Canal. Furthermore he wants to rename the gulf of Mexico the gulf of America. As for his neighbours in Mexico and Canada, they will either fall in line or get taxed to hell. Now what does all that tell us?. Well, if he somehow gets what he wants then geographically it looks like he will be expanding his domain upwards towards a future union being called The United States of NORTH America. One entire continent under one flag. His. Does that sound crazy? Well today it only sounds far fetched to those who haven't yet considered it. He's already left the WHO and UN? Which is another indication he wants to ignore the rotw and for USNeA to go it alone into the apocalypse. Why is this the time for crazy plans? Because he knows what's coming. Putin knows. Trump knows. Israel knows.

Lustrum

Five years ago the world was a better place. Then came the big WHO announcement that COVID was a problem officially out of control and that we were all going to die. They implored governments all around the world to take the necessary harsh steps as the only way to prevent the decimation of mankind. Of course, it turned out to be a bad seasonal flu with (only) a 2% mortality rate and after a couple of years of chaos everone grew bored with it all and moved on to the next big thing. History will one day tell us that covid was just a test run to see how sheeple react to bad news. Market research for whatever is coming next.  The next really big boffin announcement will be that the war on climate change is now officially out of mankinds control. The global temperature will continue to rise at an alarming pace, that all of our weather will collapse in response, that there is Nothing that we can collectively now do to stop it and that we are all going to die.  Some of us have known...
