by “Emmett R Smith”
[THE Little card actually came up with something not half-bad, this time.... BW]
The modus operandi of state liberalism in connection with political parties is real enough. It is to use fringe parties such as the racially exclusive British National Party (BNP) in England (not “Britain”) as a sort [...]

There Is No Such Place As “Safe”
by Samuel Manoah Adams
In Scotland recently a military security cop & putz dropped a mobile phone or some other postmodern gizmo stuffed full of top secret information (and, no doubt, hot YouSmut links!) Naturally, statists & halfwits of all parties now are rolling in their own piss in ecstasies [...]

As I noted two days since, ’twas a lovely Sunday spent here yard-farming (gardening). Hay-baling this week, after she dries a bit. It ain’t exactly raining but is damp & cool, not the best for a good dry-down…. But on Sunday evening after thinning various pot herb plantings to a [...]
