Stalking Young Queen Victoria

Queen Victoria, 20 years old 

She was not considered a beauty, but the idea of someone that young becoming the Queen of England, thus gaining a lot of power, even though she is a woman, did set "flies in the bonnet" of some of her male subjects. Some tried to shoot her for reasons best known to themselves, but which we may guess at. Others courted her in futile attempts to attract her attention for romance. In her teens she herself was infatuated by Lord Melbourne, who undeniably was a handsome man.

Lord Melbourne instructs the young Queen Victoria.

Victoria might adore the Lord, but I've never heard anything about him being in love with or just attracted to her. However, she didn't lack suitors as several men did have some kind of feelings for her, either of a non-romantic, mercenary art or something else: Sexual attraction. One of these "men" was a teenager who has gained everlasting fame by stalking her in a special and somewhat weird manner. The name of this teenager was Edward "Boy" Jones (1824– c. 1893 or 1896), and he didn't in the least belong to her social circles: He was a chimney sweep who several times broke into Buckingham Palace in order to steal her underwear, letters and whatever items he could get his hands on. That can't have been an easy exploit, as the palace of course was heavily guarded and she was protected in any way possible, so one wonders at his bravery in doing something like that to get what he wanted. By the way, it seems he stole her underwear and carried it out of the palace stuck into his trousers which I find both funny as well as kind of suggestive.

When he was caught - and that also happened several times - he received a sentence of hard labor for some months, but that didn't make him stop his habit of stalking the Queen so he was sent to Australia for 10 years. When he came back he just went on as a burglar for some time, before he decided to go back to Australia.

Turning One's Back On The Patriarchy

 

Yup, and the Korean women who started the 4B-Movement really mean business: No men, no dating, no sex, no marriage and no babies. The declining Korean birth rate tells a true story of women who have had enough. However, they don't fight the Patriarchy in the same manner as e.g. the feminists of the 1970's which had an element of ongoing discussion: The women believed in men's ability to listen and learn, but the 4B-women have given up on the male gender altogether.

The movement has been spreading for quite some time, and after the American 2024 election of the ultra male chauvenist, the blatant misogynist, and women abuser, Donald tRump, American women also have become interested in the movement: The incels may lament their situation as men who can't get a date, using the old tricks of "seduction" and living by the outdated rules for how the sexes make an interaction work. Not so long ago  women were caught in a web of sex roles that didn't give them much room for designing their own, independent lives. They have had to suppress themselves for a long time to fit into the pre-conceived ideologies that kept them in a fierce stronghold of suppressive ideas about womanhood, and they have become fed up with that system.

Actually, The 4B-movement has spread globally from South Korea to the US, China, and Australia - perhaps even more. I wouldn't be surprised to learn that it has gained access to Muslim countries which uphold a grotesquely twisted system of gender control. If not I'm sure it will come.

The Dead Man Who Never Existed

 

Some lives look normal, but are anything but ordinary. For instance there is/was the man who checked into the Irish Sligo City Hotel in June 2009. Presumaby his name was "Peter Bergmann", and he was an Austrian with a non-disclosed reason to visit Ireland. For the next couple of days he was caught on various business cameras throughout the town, busy distributing some of his belongings. Some days after checking at the hotel his dead body was found on a popular beach, and this started a lengthy investigation about him, his identity and his reasons for visiting Ireland. However, nothing came of this police investigation, except one thing: He didn't exist and never had existed, as there are no records of him anywhere. People didn't forget about this weird case of non-existence, and in 2013 there was a documentary, "The Last Days of Peter Bergman", about it. The interest and fascination was such that it has become very popular with the members of some websites. They still discuss the strange case of a man who died in Ireland, presumably, without having been alive anywhere else ....

Saved???

Well, it seems that I succeeded in saving my Boobytrap-blog, but I don't know why it, all of a sudden, acted crazy, so it may not be for long. Disasters happen, but I hope there will not be too many for either of in 2026.

HAPPY NEW YEAR to all of you

A New Blog???

As I for some time have had some WEIRD problems with my blog, BOOBYTRAP, I may close it and start another one, either here or somewhere else. If I do, I shall leave the link here.

The Liar's "Game"

Alas, not only Joseph Goebbels, but also our modern days piece of vermin, Donald Trump, has given his evidence that the same method of lying as the Nazi one is working just fine. Lying is an art, and some, like e.g. Goebbels, master it. As to Trump, he went too far, and have been found out too many times. That's why I find that he as a liar doesn't score as high as Goebbels. 

A special situation: The teacher caught the student in the lie of having done his homework. But WHY lie about something that obviously was a blatant lie? It's embarrassing to be found out so why risk that? Well, according to many/most psychologists lies are a natural kind of protection: This particular liar chose to chance it to keep on good terms with the teacher in order to protect  himself. 

Lying seems to be part of the human make-up, and young children of three years or so seem to have grasped the art of lying, because at that time the start to understand some of the more advanced intricacies of human societies. Something I find quite amazing. Even so, there is no doubt that both Goebbels and tRump has gone much too far in their lying habits.

A Few Broodings About Faith

 

As is well-known it's a historical fact that breeds of deities have followed upon breeds of deities. Beliefs have changed with social circumstances, and humans have accepted new deities as their best friends whom they may turn to in the days of need. Actually, humans have proven over and over again that what they expect from their gods is the same as they would expect from the neighbouhood thug whom they befriendied in order to gain influence or just protection in a dangerous world. Sometimes the needy humans feel that this system works, sometimes not, but the main point is that all of them resort to ideas about invisible powers outside of themselves which control their life. It's a crazy notion,  but still it can't be ignored as part of the general human make-up as it seems to be part of the general idea of humans all over the planet. The gods may differ, but not the human wish for them and the help they want from them.
