A downdate

I'm not sure why I keep blogging here; I've got so many irons in the fire elsewhere -- Twitter, substack, my own fiction writing (currently ~50 pages written of my spoof of The X-Files -- well, sort of something between a spoof and an homage), and my own ongoing reading and video-watching involving various threads of "research" into the diverse sphere of the inchoate anti-Leftist movement most of which I end up not following up as it's a welter of rich & complex data out there -- plus, this blog began (somewhere in the mists of 2017) and continued clear up through the summer of 2020 as one whose focus was the problem of Islam (and the problem of the problem -- namely, the Western Mainstream's strangely persistent whitewashing of that primary problem -- and then the problem of the problem OF the problem -- to wit: the general failure of the so-called "Counter-Jihad" to deal adequately with the aforementioned two problems). Since the summer of 2020, my focus shifted to what I fairly quickly realized was a worse problem and danger: some as yet amorphous (at least amorphous to us Peasants not privy to many key data of Globalist Elite shenanigans) international conspiracy against the West -- not emanating outside the West, but having grown within the West, as a parasite or cancer, probably (one must theorize many aspects of it, including its origins) involving many decades of incubation, with increasing muscle-flexing as the decades went by into our present second of the 21st century.  The medium of Twitter also is seductive: for one thing, there's the prospect of an audience at all (unlike here), let alone an audience of potentially increasing numbers; though, alas, there is precious little discussion that goes on there.  Not that discussion -- or its ostensible semblance -- per se is enough, since on Paltalk chat, for example (another "iron" of mine), often there was plenty of "talk", but most of the time virtually zero actual communication (if one defines that as requiring a modicum of intelligence and good faith). At any rate, my energy & activity became more and more diverted from here to Twitter as 2020 devolved into 2021, and 2021 into 2022 (as the reader can infer from my increasingly dwindling number of postings here during that time span).  All said, however, I still feel a nostalgic twinge about this blog, and its filament of tenuously wispy connection still with my old battleax of yore, The Hesperado, which I anniversarily maintain, after a fashion.
