Apollo Detectives 12- Steve Mumbling Edition

 

See here for essential background: https://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.com/2023/02/apollo-detectives-12.html.
According to many viewers of Neil's video, we the Detectives "had our asses handed to us on a plate!" In my view, all Steve Mumbling did was expose himself as an ignorant belligerent. His gibbering fans didn't have the intelligence to realize that the loudest voice does not equal the correct argument. Perhaps that doesn't matter to most people these days and I'm just some kind of naive reactionary. I've always said when being sarcastic that the best chess player in the world is a pigeon. It just stomps across the board kicking over the pieces and leaving droppings everywhere, and then it flies away victorious. Get out of that one, Kasparov! You'll notice, and I'm glad I pointed this out, that in a diatribe that lasts a full twenty minutes, Steve makes only two axioms: a claim about the transparency of the earth's atmosphere to microwaves and the altitude of geosynchronous satellites; that's it! The rest is just him interrupting Scott with insults, ad hominem attacks and other fallacies. Steve didn't win that debate. He didn't win any debate. He lost hands down to us all. He's nothing but a triumphant pigeon. Obviously it was controversial even inviting Steve Mumbling onto panel. He was somebody I debate continuously with on social media, but a platform with the Detectives is another matter. I was firmly against it, but I know in the end it was up to Colin Sougrin, he being the target of "Woodchippergate"; and he didn't raise any objection. Steve originally wanted to do a livestream debate, accusing us in advance of editing him unfairly. However, we recorded the interview on Skype and when you do that, the recording appears automatically in the text chat box; therefore it was easy for him to download his own copy of the raw file and have a lot of satisfaction exposing how we edited him unfairly. Did we edit Steve unfairly? Well, Steve has posted the raw file to his own channel, see: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CmJ6hkFu88c. Readers can therefore make their own minds up about that...

Substack Exclusive Notice 21/2/23

 

I have published an article on the HPANWO Free Substack blog that will not be posted to Blogger, see: https://benemlynjones.substack.com/p/replacing-trident.
This article was originally posted in 2013 and was unpublished due to the claim that it violates Blogger's community guidelines. Once again, I am baffled as to why. No details have been provided. Therefore I am posting it to HPANWO Free. This is despite the fact that I have completely changed my opinion on the article's subject matter since I first wrote it.

Greene King Goes Cashless

 

On Saturday I attended the Oxford Freedom Protest, see: https://hpanwo-tv.blogspot.com/2023/02/oxford-freedom-protest-alt-tech.html, and afterwards went for a drink with my friends. We chose The Port Mahon, a traditional urban pub on St Clements owned by Greene King, one of Britain's biggest and oldest breweries, founded in 1799. It has over three thousand pubs across the land. I was dismayed to learn from the staff that all Greene King pubs are phasing out cash payment. If you search for "Greene King cashless" your first hit will be this page: https://www.chefandbrewer.com/pubs/hampshire/ely/cashless/. I'm not sure what Chef and Brewer's relationship is to Greene King; maybe they're a merger or acquisition. Either way it is maddening to see the pride and enthusiasm with which they announce: "We're going cashless!" This will effect some of the loveliest pubs in the country, the little old village ones with stone walls, horse brass and wood fires. It's heartbreaking! One pub in Bath, the Hall and Woodhouse (est 1777) accepts cash as payment but gives out no change. This caused some understandable tension, see: https://www.somersetlive.co.uk/whats-on/food-drink/woman-fumes-bath-bar-refuses-5888999. It reminds me of what the barman in The Port Mahon said to me: "It's such a fuss to get float from the bank and keep it clogging up the till!" But retailers have been doing that since money was invented back in prehistoric times! Why is something that has always been a simple and routine practice suddenly become so burdensome? (A bit like the Northern Ireland protocol, see: https://hpanwo.blogspot.com/2019/10/brexit-portal.html.) To cheer ourselves up afterwards we went to The Swan and Castle in town. That is a JD Wetherspoon pub. I honestly cannot believe there will ever come a day when 'Spoons goes cashless. One of my friends said that "Tim isn't really based, he just says and does these things to make money." I replied that didn't matter. Even if Tim Martin's motive for Wetherspoon's philosophy is not sincere, it proves that there is a big enough market for it. Dissident drinkers are a fertile sector of clientele and that is a healthy sign. If there wasn't he would just make 'Spoons all boring and normie-friendly like so many other pubs. It will be very difficult indeed for government to coerce private companies into abandoning a good customer base.

Sargon on UFO's Again

 

See here for essential background: https://hpanwo-tv.blogspot.com/2023/02/ufo-disclosure-2023-week-of-objects.html.
Carl Benjamin, aka "Sargon of Akkad", has been venturing outside his personal Overton window more and more in recent years. He has explored the existence of Bigfoot (I'll write a separate article about that) so it was inevitable that he would comment on the recent appearance in North American airspace of "objects". His reaction is disappointing. There's no doubt Carl is a very intelligent and generally analytical man, but his immediate response is a simple: "Don't believe it. It's a psyop... Aliens are not real, simple as... Bull!" He adds: "If it were aliens they wouldn't be reporting on it." Actually they might if the white hats had taken over the Truth Embargo. He then makes a claim many others have, on both sides of the skeptic-woo divide: it's all a distraction. As I say in my own coverage, that can't be ruled out; but a distraction from what? There are a hundred things in the queue right now. Epstein's list, the Ohio train crash, the missing British woman etc. If it's true then it does beg the question: why something so elaborate? I made the same point about the "Strayed Away message", see: https://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.com/2018/03/twitter-voicemail-update.html. Sargon's position is therefore: "aliens don't exist therefore it's not aliens. I know it's not aliens because aliens don't exist." Fallacy City! Sargon can do better than that. Source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r5GbYHm37WI. He brings up Red Dwarf which is not only an outstanding science fiction sitcom, but is full of interesting philosophical themes. One of the characters is a believer in aliens and the other is a skeptic. The latter says in one scene: "There are no aliens, Rimmer. Just you, me, Holly, the cat and a pile of smegging rocks!" What's unusual about Red Dwarf is that although it is set in the distant future and out in deep space, there is no extraterrestrial biology in it at all. The only life is the remains of exploration from the earth. There is actually something about the disbelief in aliens that is very similar to MBA (explanation for new readers: https://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.com/2016/10/susan-blackmore-confirms-mba.html) Perhaps I should call it the "We Are Alone Bravery Award- WAABA". Rob Grant and Doug Naylor, the creators of the series, exhibit symptoms of WAABA. Interestingly there are some MBA themes in Red Dwarf too, especially in the episodes: "The Last Day" and "The Inquisitor". As for Sargon of Akkad, I think that a man who has forgotten what the F stands for in TERF is in no position to lecture the rest of us on psyops.
