(S)lower Silesia
Original YT playout date: 3 April 2010
Duration: 15:16
A drive and a chat, in the area of Lower Silesia. I go by the whim of the GPS in my phone, but it seems it makes the journey slower than it would have been if I’d picked the route myself on a map!

This is border country!
Original YT playout date: 3 April 2010
Duration: 6:36
“There’s a long border between Poland and the Czech Republic, winding its way over hills and along rivers, but as far as roads negotiable by cars is concerned, until the two countries entered Schengen a couple of years ago, they had manned check points. Now these are disused and there is no-one there to look at your documents, if you even have them. Their old booth has become a dumping ground for used food packaging, and nobody cleans it up. The Poles spent money building a nice road right up to the border, but the Czechs, with their almost 50% more GDP per head, simply allowed a dirt track to remain from the border. They simply do not care what the “”visit card”” of their coutry looks like, not to Poles anyway, (in fact it seems to me that in comparison with Poles, who always concern themselves with their international reputation, Czechs are singularly unruffled by what anyone – in their country or outside it – thinks of them) and they seem to have no desire to encourage the Poles to venture into their country very far, even though the cheaper prices at restaurants might be quite tempting, and the existence of a fine swimming pool not far off on the Czech side, which I heard about, but didn’t see. It looks as if they are in no major hurry to go out of their way to attract their Polish neighbours in for a cup of coffee. So Schengen may be in force, and you can cross that boundary without any checks if you feel like it, but they certainly aren’t making the free movement across it all that inviting right now on the Czech side.
Despite the dereliction of the duty area, there is a certain open beauty about the side. It looks quite wild and windswept under the marbled, part-melted snow. It is, of course, under agricultural usage, and food or biomass is being produced on all parts of it.”

Drive, Drove, driven, drivel – or “Road trip meets linguistic meandering”
Original YT playout date: 2 April 2010
Duration: 29:10
Driving from the Amber Hotel through Olesnice towards Namyslow I start to talk about why Polish language has more exotic elements in it, more aspects usually more associated with oriental languages, than Russian has. This is really developing a thesis of mine that Poland has an oriental culture.
Learners of Slavic languages will love this one, as will those of you who use my videos to go to sleep, as some have told me…

Earth Hour in Warsaw
Tuesday, October 12, 2021
Original YT playout date: 27 March 2010
Duration: 15:54
The ordinary inhabitants of Warsaw vote with their light switches to show what they think about how our human activity can influence climate variability.
The UN, that diabolical organisation, has started these yearly events encouraging the people to put their lights out at a specific strategic time around the Spring Equinox every year.
I’m just wondering whether all this isn’t just a way of getting people, unknowingly, to assist in an act of mass witchcraft. As an act of obeisance towards “”Gaia””, the Earth mother deity of the pagans, people in their own homes dim their lights at the culmination of one of the most powerful witches’ sabbaths of the year, lending their tacit support to the atrocious spells being worked out against God’s people and God’s plans by the new age pagans.
Think twice before doing anything these people recommend you to do, from vaccinating your children to eating certain foods according to some “”codex”” they’ve drafted, to even switching off lights at certain times. They have their own beastly religion which they are trying to force on the world, on the people who rightly belong to Jesus Christ.

An Evening with Krzysztof Orlowski, part 1 of 2
Original YT playout date: 27 March 2010
Duration: 14:14
Much travelled Silesian musician Krzysztof Orlowski, whose group and whose own compositions you can find on https://annapietrzak.com/gitana-electric-eclectic-2/ is a gentleman I met in this place, Hotel Amber at Olesnica, one year ago. I filmed his concert at the restaurant and put it on youtube, it was appreciated by the viewers and also Krzysztof himself saw it, and got in contact with me.
These days he’s not playing at Amber so regularly, but was kind enough to come and join me for one evening and played a few of his fine medleys. In this part, we can hear his medley of Piaf’s “”Vie en Rose”” with Burt Bacharach’s “”I’ll never fall in love again””, as well as the Girl from Ipanema performed with impeccable style.

Dangerous Parking
Original YT playout date: 27 March 2010
Duration: 2:07
How sensible is it to plonk your van down and leave it just where the traffic is coming off the level crossing? The whole situation could easily get gridlocked if two of these idiots decided to do the same thiing on either side of the crossing – and the result could be that vehicles get trapped on the tracks when the next train somes. How can someone not see that? Anyway, thankfully the drivers on the other side of the road showed more foresight, and let us pass, therefore avoiding the risk of such a gridlock on the railway track. It just goes to show the sort of people we’re sharing planet earth with.

Huliganov’s New Rants – #1 Book or Film
Original YT playout date: 25 March 2010
Duration: 28:05
By popular demand, Longlat and Merlin to be precise, the Huliganov Rants are back. I’m leaving too controversial topics alone this time, but the question of whether to watch a film before or after reading the book, if so be there be one, is a popular evergreen for ranting.
Thanks go also to Fat Steve of http://www.thebigcigarette.com (unfortunately Steve died some years ago and this site has been taken over by some weird Japanese stuff) fame for bringing to my notice the Italian version of “”Is Vic There?”” by Department S. Please go ahead and buy this from the Department Store so that I can be perceived as part of the music industry’s value chain and then maybe they’ll leave my creativity in peace.

Summing up 4 years on YouTube
Original YT playout date: 23 March 2010
Duration: 25:26
This was my summary after 4 years. It is of course 11 and a half years since that time, that I am adding it to this blog, but the thing about the vlogging hobby is that it does keep former times fresh like nothing else really can.
I wrote:
“I’ve been here 4 years – and on this night drive I talk about that and my whole YouTube agenda, about huliganov.tv, about facebook, about LinkedIn and finish off with something about road safety. Even Salma Hayek gets a mention, so there’s something for everybody in this. Recorded in HD but rendered without HD as the video is simply a dark road with not much to be worth the extra bytes, this is more of an audiocentric piece. Some people said they missed the longer talkier ones after I got my new camera, so this one is more for you if you were one of those people who said that.
http://www.linkedin.com/profile?viewProfile=&key=1090210&locale=en_US&trk=tab_pro
I think this is the way to link to me on LinkedIn, as requested in the video. The group name on LinkedIn to join is “”Linguists and Polyglots””. TIA.”
This group is still active by the way and taking members. A decent level of community discussion has never been achieved in all that time. Maybe one day that will take off.
Russian Cat Fun
Original YT playout date: 21 March 2010
Duration: 6:06
The Russian idea of a cat is something that can catch enormous rats and is a fearless fighter, so as we don’t have any rats and I don’t approve of buying them from the petshop for the purpose, that basically leaves other cats in the neighborhood for Pushkin to fight (the supply seems to be rapidly depleting) or Irina. Pushkin, like his poetic namesake, seems to enjoys his duels, and when he’s had enough “Russian fun” then he walks away. Sophie sometimes wants the scrap to continue when Pushkin is already tired of it, but I have to stop her natural part-Russian inclinations and allow the cat to live in peace.

This is YouTube – switch on your mind
Original YT playout date: 20 March 2010
Duration: 16:43
This is not television or any of the media mainstream with one single, PC version of the truth being pumped into the brains of those relying on it for information.
This is YouTube, this is the internet. This is a place where, for the time being at least, alternative views, views and information that the mainstream don’t want you to know, are still available. There are different, conflicting views of reality available here. There are many fictions, fewer truths, and it is a place where you have to take responsibility to forage the information and work out your own world-view, as your salvation, with fear and trembling, at times.
The age we live in, this age of easy information, may not be around for as long as we think. Technology exists to follow what we see and hear on line, to censor it, to demand from participants on this free information market internet passports and other marks of obeisance to the powers of this world.
Google, which recently pulled out of China over their internet policies, has recently been doing information exchange deals with government and security agencies, and of course they own this place too.
Right now, you can use YouTube to inform yourself about all sorts of ideas which may seem strange to you – conspiracies that must simply be of the wall. But treat it this way – if all it is is a wierd form of entertainment, then enjoy. But if you see one day that these things are taken down, and that is already starting to happen, then it shows that there is something in it, and you’ll be glad you saved some stuff that will help you know how to survive if the things some people are saying about the New World Order are true.
Please feel free to use the comments section to add some of your own favorite wake-up channels that tell us the things we need to be aware of about the NWO. A couple of my favorites are TheAlexJonesChannel, cv1122 and setokaiba22 . There are many more, but these three are a great place to start.
Concern about what obscenely large corporations and secret interests are doing to us is pervading both left and right, both Christians and atheists, and many of the other traditional opposites are actually finding themselves united in asking questions about what is going on in the world. Even some freemasons are astonished when they discover the agenda of certain interest groups which you cannot join without first being a 33rd degree Scottish rite mason. It has nothing to do with the “”making good men better”” line that got many of them in there, and everything to do with the side which is filtering people into the ones who will be masters and servants, or even extinct.
The rant here, as I walk along, was kicked off my my happening on a memorial service for Irena Sendlerowa, outside a building near my house where she worked in the 1930s. She saved 3000 Jews from the Nazis. Perhaps the most fitting tribute would be if in this video we could get 3000 more people to access and save the information that could save their lives if the soft kill is implemented that Jane Burgermeister, Alex Jones and others have been warning about…
Ask yourself WHY there have been no transcripts of the deliberations of the Bilderberg club meetings. Many people were only in there because we the people had voted for them, weren’t they? How do they even justify going into secret meetyings at which the global agenda is decided and not reporting back to the people who gave them the mandate. Why do we ever vote for anyone who has been in sucha secret meeting, or who is a member of a secret society? Why do we even tolerate secret societies? What have they got to hide? Why doesn’t the cant that “”if you have nothing to hide it can’t hurt you”” maxim under which we are asked to put up with cameras on us all day long, and snooping through the net, why doesn’t this apply to the masons and why doesn’t it apply to us photographing police when they step out of line while policing democratic protests?
