MP hands Westminster job to councillor who donated £3,000

It’s ‘jobs for the boy’ in Sutton, as new LibDem MP Taylor is accused of a stitch-up over the recruitment to a tax-payer-funded staff positon of a chum who made a £3,000 donation to his election campaign. By CARL SHILTON, investigations editor Caught out again: Luke Taylor, the new MP for Sutton and Cheam, doesn’t seem able to avoid controversy “This would appear to be a clear conflict of…

Song Review: Woody Platt feat. Del McCoury - “Broke Down Engine”

Woody Platt’s post-Steep Canyon Rangers solo career is off to an auspicious start with the Del McCoury-assisted remake of Blind Willie McTell’s “Broke Down Engine.”

The infectious bluegrass track announces the spring 2024 arrival of Platt’s debut solo album - title TBA - and also features Bryan Sutton on guitar, Barry Bales on bass, Daren Shumaker on mandolin and Bennett Sullivan on banjo.

The players are in top form, soloing across most of the track as Bales holds it together. McCoury and Platt trade lines throughout and when their voices come together, it’s a harmonic convergence that should’ve happened decades ago.

Platt left the Rangers in 2022.

Pentiment's Complete Bibliography, with links to some hard-to-find items:

I've seen some people post screenshots of the game's bibliography, but I hadn't found a plain text version (which would be much easier to work from), so I put together a complete typed version - citation style irregularities included lol. I checked through the full list and found that only four of the forty sources can't be found easily through a search engine. One has no English translation and I'm not even close to fluent enough in German to be able to actually translate an academic article, so I can't help there. For the other three (a museum exhibit book, a master's thesis, and portions of a primary source that has not been entirely translated into English), I tracked down links to them, which are included with their entries on the list.

If you want to read one of the journal articles but can't access it due to paywalls, try out 12ft.io or the unpaywall browser extension (works on Firefox and most chromium browsers). If there's something you have interest in reading but can't track down, let me know, and I can try to help! I'm pretty good at finding things lmao

Okay, happy reading, love you bye

Am Fear Liath Mór, or the Big Grey Man of Ben MacDhui [Scottish cryptid]

The high passes of Ben MacDhui – the second largest mountain in Scotland – are haunted by tales of a mysterious creature that supposedly stalks hikers. Usually it is described as an impossibly tall, grey spectre, thereby earning it the name ‘Am Fear Liath Mór’, meaning ‘the big grey man’.

The story starts in 1891 with professor Norman Collie of the Royal Geographic Society, who happened to be a passionate hiker as well. The professor had just climbed the cairn on the summit of Ben MacDhui when he heard something that vaguely sounded like footsteps. I should mention that this area is notoriously misty, so you can imagine how easy it is for a lone hiker to get anxious when hearing strange noises.

The footsteps continued, but they were oddly spaced: for every ‘step’ the professor heard, he himself took three or four. It was as if this mysterious spectre was taking giant leaps or had huge legs. Eventually the professor was overtaken by panic and fled. Much later, in 1925, he recounted his tale and shared it with the newspapers, who were eager to publish and often exaggerate the story of a supposed monster or cryptid living in the Scottish mountains. At the time, the mystery creature was dubbed ‘the Ben MacDhui Ghost’ in the media.

Afterwards, multiple people came forward with claims about the mountain ghost, some of which were believable (hearing unidentified sounds) and some were more fantastic (Richard Frere and Peter Densham claimed to have had a conversation with an invisible, psychic creature).

Richard Frere would later claim that while he was hiking on the top of the Ben MacDhui, he had an unshakeable feeling that someone else was there with him, and he would hear a strange high-pitched noise that seemed to come from the soil beneath his feet.

Frere also gave a physical description of a creature he claimed to have seen (but it is difficult to verify whether this is the oldest actual ‘sighting’ of the supposed ghost): a large, brown creature was seen swaggering down the mountainside. It stood about 20 feet (6m) tall, was covered with short brown fur and had a disproportionally large head supported by a thick, muscular neck. It had broad shoulders but walked upright and did not resemble an ape.

Interestingly, only a single sighting happened on a nearby mountain, rather than on the Ben MacDhui itself: in the 1920’s, Tom Crowley, the president of the local Moray Mountaineering Club, claimed to have seen an apparition while descending from Braeriach to the Glen Eanaich. It was a very tall, misty grey figure with a humanoid shape, albeit with long legs that ended in strange talons (described as resembling fingers more than toes) and a head with pointy ears.

Dr. A. M. Kellas, himself a famed mountaineer, also claimed that a giant grey humanoid creature haunted the mountain. Among the many supposed sightings, I am uncertain which one is actually the oldest description of the ‘Grey Man’ as a tall, grey spectre, but it is certainly the most popular one. The grey apparition had cemented itself as a local cryptid and urban legend and many more supposed sightings followed.

Though it is often claimed that the creature is connected to ancient Scottish or Celtic mythology, this is most likely false. Gray Affleck, the author of ‘The Big Grey Man of Ben MacDhui’, attempted to research this link but could not find a single connection with actual Highland mythology.

In 1958, the June edition of ‘Scots Magazine’ told the story of Alexander Tewnion’s 1943 expedition to the mountain. While he was descending the mountain, a giant grey shape suddenly loomed over him. Having none of this bullshit, Mr. Tewnion immediately pulled out his revolver and fired three bullets at the thing. The mysterious apparition seemed not to notice, however, and kept walking towards him, upon which Tewnion fled.

ISABEL AGREES TO HOST CANYON’S GALA OF THE YEAR, BUT ‘THE MCMURRAY CURSE’ IS THE TALK OF THE TOWN IN ‘RIDE’ PREMIERING APRIL 9, ON HALLMARK CHANNEL

STUDIO CITY, CA – April 6, 2023 – When Isabel (Nancy Travis, “Last Man Standing”) and the McMurrays step in to host Canyon’s gala of the year, tongues are wagging about “The McMurray Curse,” in this week’s episode of “Ride” premiering Sunday, April 9 (9 p.m. ET/PT), on Hallmark Channel. Travis, Tiera Skovbye (“Riverdale”), Beau Mirchoff (“Good Trouble”), Sara Garcia (“The Flash”), Jake Foy (“Designated Survivor”) and Tyler Jacob Moore (“Shameless”) star.

When Canyon, Colorado’s most important annual gala loses its venue the day before the event, Hank (Greg Lawson, “Wynonna Earp”) offers for Isabel and the McMurrays to host at their barn. Unfortunately, the dusty, old barn is nowhere near the standards of the gala chair, Barbara Sutton (Rachel Crawford, “Heartland”) – Isabel’s friendly rival. Not one to give up, Isabel mobilizes everyone at the ranch to help spiff the barn up overnight. With the gala quickly approaching, the venue isn’t the only thing that needs a makeover, as Isabel persuades Cash (Mirchoff) that charming the judges there is as important a step to winning as any of his other training. Thankfully his coach Missy (Skovbye) is just the person to help. For her part, Missy is struggling with her own riding and must figure out why or risk losing her sponsorship deal. Now stepping into her role as co-foreman alongside Tuff (Foy), Valeria (Garcia) is frustrated when the ranch hands are not taking her promotion seriously. Tuff – still reeling from witnessing her mysterious encounter the other night – tries to uncover what Valeria’s really hiding. Despite everyone’s hard work, they realize that won’t stop the town of Canyon from gossiping about the McMurray family curse.

“Ride” is a Blink49 Studios / Seven24 Films Production. Executive producers are Rebecca Boss, Chris Masi, Sherri Cooper, Alexandra Zarowny, Paolo Barzman, Greg Gugliotta, FJ Denny, John Morayniss, Carolyn Newman, Virginia Rankin, Elana Barry, Josh Adler, Jordy Randall and Tom Cox. Alejandro Alcoba is co-executive producer. The series is produced by Brian Dennis. Lesley Grant is supervising producer. Paolo Barzman directed from a script by Rebecca Boss & Chris Masi.

Not surprisingly, the 3 1/2-hour interview with John B. Wells referenced in this article has been scrubbed from the Internet, although I suspect that Wells still has the original. However, this was a blockbuster set of revelations that exhausted my knowledge at that point. Much more is known now. ⁃ Patrick Wood, TN Editor.

“The C.F.R. is the American branch of a society which originated in England. Internationalistic in viewpoint, the C.F.R., along with the Atlantic Union Movement, and the Atlantic Council of the U.S., believes national boundaries should be obliterated and one-world rule established … What the Trilaterals truly intend is the creation of a worldwide economic power superior to the political government of the nation-states involved. As managers and creators of the system they will rule the world … In my view, the Trilateral Commission represents a skillful, coordinated effort to seize control and consolidate the four centers of power: political, monetary, intellectual, and ecclesiastical.” (With No Apologies, [1979], the auto-biography by Senator Barry Goldwater, pp. 128, 284). 

The New International Economic Order

Patrick Wood has been in the trenches fighting for America for many years. He was co-author with the late Antony C. Sutton of the two-volume classic, “Trilaterals Over Washington”. His original “August Review” has morphed into the August Forecast. He speaks at events, such as the upcoming Arizona Freedom Fest. Patrick’s latest book is “Technocracy Rising“. This video is three and a half hours in length. Below the video are some points of interest for readers who are reluctant to start into a film that long.  I hope that the text below will influence motivated readers to make time to enjoy seeing Patrick Wood and John B. Wells on the screen – they deliver a great show, with a great ending.

Super-revelations from Patrick Wood.

In late March, 2015, John B. Wells of Caravan To Midnight hosted for three and a half hours a man who is America’s foremost researcher on the Trilateral Commission. Many in the Liberty movement already know that Patrick Wood co-authored with Antony C. Sutton the now-famous “Trilaterals Over Washington” (in two volumes). Personally, I began to follow Patrick Wood about ten years ago when I discovered at his website a fascinating article he had written about the Bank for International Settlements. I began subscribing to his newsletter, and that is how I received notice that Patrick Wood was interviewed by John B. Wells. From his interview with John B. Wells I have taken down a few notes to share with readers here. Mr. Wood’s latest book, Technocracy Rising, is packed with facts and information, and its contents are the focus in this video interview. The interview gets started early by discussion of the Trilateral Commission’s employment of Technocracy’s principles and their “New International Economic Order”, with mention of the Trilateral Commission’s goal of “transforming government”. By about 24 minutes into the video we see that more than just government is being transformed. Wood lists seven of their primary targets as being:

Economics

“Who” is to do all this “transforming”?

 the Trilateral Commission;

 Technocracy;

 the United Nations; and

 Non-Government Organizations (NGOs).

We note that neither the American People nor the Congress of the United States of America are party to the transformation. Technocracy and Trilateralism and the United Nations and Non-governmental organizations are the four horses on which the New International Economic Order is riding into our lives. Keep that in mind as we go. Mr. Wood gives us things to notice, things being used by Technocracy to “transform” us:

Agenda 21

sustainable development

smart meters

climate change

cap and trade

the Green Economy

Human enhancement (Trans-Humanism: the merger of man and machine, literally)

As John B. Wells allows Mr. Wood to lay it all out in full, supporting knowledge is provided to the viewer to flesh-out the above listings, plus more. John B. and Patrick discuss “Scientism”, and Patrick Wood offers a passage by the “father of Technocracy”, Henri de Saint-Simon:

“A scientist, my dear friends, is a man who foresees; it is because science provides the means to predict that it is useful, and the scientists are superior to all other men.”

The novel "Recursion" by Blake Crouch was published for the first time in 2019.

Detective Barry Sutton intervenes in an attempt to save Ann Voss Peters, a woman suffering from False Memory Syndrome (FMS). Unfortunately, he's unable to convince her to desist from her suicidal intentions and decides to deepen his knowledge of a syndrome that started affecting many people. This leads him to discover unexpected truths.

Helena Smith is a neuroscientist who is conducting research about memory in the hope of finding a cure for her mother, who suffers from Alzheimer's, and for all people in the same condition. In order to achieve the developments she desires, she needs large funding, and the billionaire Marcus Slade offers to pay for her research. This allows Helena to obtain significant developments that, however, go in a very different direction from the one she imagined.
