Also, can people let me know if they like or dislike the nested comment format. I think it saves having to quote replies to existing comments as you can reply directly (there are also other benefits to this) or do you prefer the old format?

Even legacy media are reporting that the Afghan army hadn’t been paid for between 6 to 12 weeks.

How could Biden & Blinken say their embassy was going to stay & their non-military programs going to stay?

Noticed the pool supply shop was open because also essential.
Here in the NT, where there are probably more pools per head of the population than anywhere else in Oz, pool shops are shut, because “non-essential”.
You know it makes sense.

Did anyone see the far too smooth Afgan (apparently) woman on Credlin who claimed to be in regular contact with ‘Taliban’. She was informed that this ‘new Taliban’ will comply with the rule of law, girls safe, blah blah.
She was of course in contact with the Taliban’s long term propaganda office in Dohar.
It was obviously total nonsense but Credelin came across as, might I say, credulous.

Part of one of Obama’s many concessions to the Taliban.

Winston, because you were so kind last night – saw Dad a few minutes ago (put on my “carers” stetson and sashayed in). He looks 100% better, the welts have all but gone and so has that dreadful swelling.

Qantas orders all employees vaccinated. What does the PM say about that? Just this:
“[Qantas] have a reasonable position to be able to make this request and they’ve gone about it, I think, in a very engaged way,” he said.
“They’ve shown the right model about how you go about this.”
God help us with ‘conservatives’ like that.
Are you supposed to wear a mask and sort of flip it up on your nose when the drill is doing its thing, like Dan’s method of booze consumption? Or is that a risk of it getting wrapped around the drill bit and taking an ear off?

I left something — a backup mini-battery for jump-starting — at the home of a friend just before our latest Vic lockdown. Hadn’t driven my 30-year-old town car for more than a month and, when I tried to start the Hulking Hun last night, flat as Dresden after the RAF passed through.
Long story short, have just paid $80 to have it couriered over because I’m not allowed to drive more than 5kms from the front gate.
Oh, and another illustration of how rooted is Victoria. I left the mini-battery with my cobber because he needed to start his mother-in-law’s car, which had been stolen two months earlier. Police alerted, big blue yawn in response. Anyway, my mate found it about three miles from her home at the end of a dead end street while out riding his bike. One of the neighbours came out as he was under the bonnet and said she’d reported it to the police as abandoned, told them she’d even wound up an open window so it would be less likely to cop a trashing. They never bothered to come, so the car just sat there.
My mate is now enmeshed in VicRoads bureaucracy because the reg was cancelled and refunded. Reckons it’s a nightmare.

It’ll be very inclusive and representative…….all aspects of Islam and Sharia. Paradise.
I’ll snatch October 1st out of the air, but I have doubts about Sniffy being replaced.
He’s compliant, especially while the ice cream is coming, grinning and goofy (which appeals to the largely brainless Dem voters) and he has no idea what is happening, while the puppet masters pull the strings.
And with her popularity tested – and failing – at previous selections, I suspect they don’t really want Kamalha-ha-ha up front on deck.
I wouldn’t be Dem for quids.
I hope so as well. Mrs Ds aunt (age 70) said it was like the worst flu she ever had when she caught it in the US last year. Even though her hubby was locked in, not even a sniffle or headache.
Woo hoo! I’ve been reported.

Cassie, Hairy and I send him our very best, and you too, for you must find it upsetting, not even being allowed to go and see him. You are both in our thoughts. It’s good that he’s asymptomatic.
Ever since Hairy got his Cellulitis in hospital he has hated them with a passion.

I don’t see you in the sin bin, Delta. Rebel status: ambiguous.
I’m not up for Joelotto. I think there’re significant chances that Joe could get rolled, that Kamala could get rolled, that Pelosi could become President, that Durham could actually pull a unicorn out of his arse (see this hilarious headline today), that Joe could die tragically of Covid, that he could die tragically of very fast lead poisoning, or that the USA could cease to exist either due to either civil war, nuclear destruction or both. All in the next year or so. It’s a fluid situation.
Uh oh. A Visitation by the DoomDover.

Fortunately it’s an easy pattern. Unless you’d prefer something in Fair Isle?
so in a fairly cool and wet winter in Australia cold and flu is now DELTA COVID and we can prove it with our nifty PRC test.

I’ve already messaged one of the guys at Compound Media to throw the clip on youtube.
Tucker interviewing army veteran who explains his experience in afshitistan with green on blue attacks by trusted afshits who literally shot allied soldiers from the US and Australia in the back.
Yet, now the demorats in the US are pressuring the zombie to bring unfettered any and all afshit refugees into the US.
We’ll get the same here from the usual ratbags.
That terrorist attack will occur before biden’s corpse is dragged out. And probably soon after BRS is convicted by a woke judge on the testimony of these trusted afshits.

Exclusive from Gen. Flynn: Since New DHS Alert, You’re a Potential Terrorist if You Oppose White House Lies

Biden Lotto;
31 October 2021. Halloween night.
Hey Carpe, I said Jan 8, 2022, not long after Christmas.
Can you lock it in please? Ta.
More than 1000 NSW Police officers will be out in force on the weekend to crush planned anti-lockdown protests in Sydney.
I’d like to see some type of positional co-ordination with these protests, otherwise the storm troopers will simply whittle down the numbers via movement, and then arrest the remaining cadre. No doubt it would be challenging to co-ordinate the actions of a few thousand strangers, however some type of (concentrated) tactical formation on the part of the protestors might at least temporarily check the plans of the police. The longer the protestors can stick together and prolong the occasion (without resorting to violence, that is), the more likely they are to receive positive media attention (albeit alternative media). Even attempting some type of tactical/responsive activity may help to attract more numbers in the future.
Serious question: Assuming the majority of protestors are willing (and that provocateurs are identified early and restrained), what type of tactics might be practical in that situation? What might be done to fracture the police line/s?
I’m thinking in terms of the ancient Greek phalanx, or Roman Army tactics (minus the offensive cavalry, pila throwers, and stone-slingers).
After England, Switzerland is and was a majority owner of Australian Natural Resources and has been since at least 1960’s.
I think it would be great to push your antifa/green/left/liberal/blm/sierra communists to downgrade all proper energy resources until they broke and then pick up the assets to control the lot.
If anyone uses a lithium based battery then you support child slavery in The Congo and environmental degradation in Mongolia.
Missed mine too, Carpe-san. 29th November 2021.
I realise this is fantasy, but imagine a police line approaching a protest bloc: the front lines of the bloc stand fast before opening in the centre. At the same time, the two wings of the protestors move forward, and the police become encircled (which would only work if the police line was only on one side of the crowd, not both).
The obvious answer to the question “What happens then?’ is that the police will panic and begin clubbing people. The tendency for some in the crowd will be to fight back, which would not be a positive outcome.
Imagine though, that on a whistle signal, the crowd rapidly parts again (if there is the space to do so, of course; I’m picturing this happening in a CBD street, with the crowd anchored by the buildings on both flanks), and moves 100 metres down the street (both halves have to move in the same direction of course!), and reforms a bloc.
Yes, such activity would require solid training and discipline, and much could go wrong. But if this continues for a while yet, radical ideas may be required, even if they are initially dismissed as impractical.
Carpe,

The Commonwealth government starts the spine growing process:
Education Minister Alan Tudge says the board of the country’s schooling authority must substantially rewrite its draft national curriculum, warning he will not endorse the proposed document amid concern student outcomes would be harmed.
“Your draft, however, diminishes Australia’s western, liberal, and democratic values,” Mr Tudge said. “The overarching impression from the curriculum is that the main feature of western civilisation is slavery, imperialism and colonisation.
Important historical events are removed or reframed, such as the emphasis on invasion theory over Australia Day. Even Anzac Day is presented as a contested idea, rather than the most sacred of all days where we honour the millions of men and women who have served in war, and the 100,000 who gave their lives for our freedom.”
You’re on a collld cold start there, Muddy. Even if a Spartacus were willing to incriminate himself and distribute such plans by discoverable media, the troops these days are a long way off discipline- or even a rudimentary knowledge of terminology, let alone physical aptitude for a bit of argy bargy, or mental collection enough to act without losing their heads.
The only way to run the resistance from here is from the individual one-on-one. Film the police. Ask them their name and where they live. Ask them about the nasty black flag badge with a blue line through it. Ask them if they’ve been shut out of work, pay or conditions. Ask them if shutting down political protests or clearing kids’ playgrounds is the reason why they joined up. Manoeuver them into either being tw@ts or backing off, tell them that the world is watching, and post it all to the internet.
How many, exactly?
Haha. Yep. I did think of that as I was typing it.

Biden to Tell Nursing Homes to Vaccinate Staffs to Keep Medicare, Medicaid Funds
The Biden administration plans to tell nursing homes to vaccinate their staff against Covid-19 or risk losing Medicare and Medicaid funding, officials said.
Pre ACB actions re Indiana & vaccines, I would have said this would be given the boot by SCOTUS.
But now, I can’t see it even being heard.
Cassie, can your man keep a treatment journal re his COVID?
If any?
Would be fascinating to see what is really happening inside the NSW health system in response to it.
Muddy, I liked your tactics, but as others have pointed out – it takes discipline that the crowd won’t have.
Another tactic that bamboozles but doesn’t look like violence is just sitting down. Instead of marching from one spot to another, pick an area with plenty of entry points and sit. When the police come, sit. When they attempt to drag you off, remain seated. The manpower it takes to remove determined, immobile people is immense. And a passive, yet determined protest is achieved.
Thanks Tom! I wonder if Ben Garrison looks at John Spooner’s cartoons? Great minds!

‘Warped lessons must be dumped’
EXCLUSIVE
REBECCA URBAN
Education Minister Alan Tudge says the board of the country’s schooling authority must substantially rewrite its draft national curriculum, warning he will not endorse the proposed document amid concern student outcomes would be harmed.
Writing to the Australian Curriculum, Assessment and Reporting Authority’s acting chairman Norm Hart, Mr Tudge criticised the proposal for supporting “ideology over evidence” and presenting an “overly negative view” of the nation in the study of history and civics.
In the letter, seen by The Australian, Mr Tudge urged the board to seriously consider recent feedback from education experts, who have flagged concerns that the proposed changes amounted to a weakening of learning standards.
“Some of these groups, such as Australia’s peak mathematics association, believe that the current draft will take Australian kids backwards,” he wrote. “If the current draft is simply tweaked, it will not be supported. It needs fundamental changes.”
The warning comes as the ACARA board meets on Thursday and Friday to discuss feedback to the highly anticipated update of the Australian Curriculum – an important document laying out what students are expected to learn across the mandated subject areas of English, maths, science, the arts, humanities, health and physical education and languages.
The curriculum also seeks to cover general capabilities, or skills, such as critical and creative thinking, as well as ensure young people develop an understanding of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander histories and cultures. Its release in April, however, sparked a torrent of criticism, including from highprofile historians, academics and reading specialists.
Among the most scathing criticism was from the Australian Mathematical Sciences Institute, whose membership spans leading universities, government agencies and industry, which called for any ongoing review of the maths curriculum to be halted pending further consultation.
The institute was particularly critical of a proposed push towards having students learn maths by engaging in openended problem-solving activities, noting that “mastery of mathematical approaches is needed before student problemsolving can be effective”.
Under way for more than a year, ACARA’s curriculum review was launched in the wake of Australia’s declining performance on the OECD’s PISA, which has shown that Australian students have gone backwards in reading, maths and science over the past 20 years.
According to Mr Tudge, the curriculum should seek to be ambitious on students’ learning outcomes and should prioritise evidence-based practices, particularly in reading and maths.
“However, to my great frustration, evidence-based practices have not been consistently embedded in your current draft,” he said. “There is still too much emphasis on whole-language learning of reading and insufficient emphasis on phonics.
“Thirty years ago, determining the best way to teach reading may have been a legitimate debate, but it is not now. The evidence is crystal clear … that the teaching of phonics is vital.”
The minister also urged the ACARA board to re-examine the draft history and civics curriculum to ensure that it provided a balanced teaching of Australia’s liberal democracy that has made the nation attractive to millions of migrants.
“Your draft, however, diminishes Australia’s western, liberal, and democratic values,” Mr Tudge said. “The overarching impression from the curriculum is that the main feature of western civilisation is slavery, imperialism and colonisation.
“Important historical events are removed or reframed, such as the emphasis on invasion theory over Australia Day. Even Anzac Day is presented as a contested idea, rather than the most sacred of all days where we honour the millions of men and women who have served in war, and the 100,000 who gave their lives for our freedom.”
Referencing the coronavirus pandemic, Mr Tudge said the education system had “been shaken in the last 18 months … in ways we had never imagined”.
“I believe that the best way to serve the interests of our young people now is to seize every opportunity to lift educational standards,” he said.
“The draft of the Australian Curriculum is such an opportunity.”

553 new cases of covid yesterday here in Berlin, and I had to hunt through a local papers website to find that number. No-one is bothered, life goes on as pretty much normal.
Maybe every society has to go through two waves of covid before they’re considered largely normal (with vaccination) and no longer a source of terror.

How many people in Berlin died to get to this point of complacency? I’m pretty glad Australia doesn’t accept this.

I know it’s the same where I come from. Even more cases but the main thing they care about are icu patients and deaths. No one looks at case numbers any longer. When will this ever happen in Australia where all that’s acceptable is 0.
Bruce calli et al, same here, Captain and I are the lone members of the family who haven’t and wont be vaccinated, at least with the current crop on offer. One daughter even rang him to suggest he was looney like a famed (mad?) great aunt. I dont know what the future will be but we will continue to speak out because we owe it to the grand kids.
I dont want them to ask the question one day, ‘why did you not fight for me?’

Gen. Mike Flynn has a good column up, which has been repeated by FPM:

Wouldn’t it be nice if Flynn could be CJCS instead of the ghastly Gen. Milley.
Carpe, I reckon the talleyband will strike on the anniversary of 9/11, either somewhere big or in multiple places, that Biden will resign for health reasons soon after and Camella will be P by default.
So put me down for a week after – Sept 18th for Biden lottery.
The guy says that he can’t see any other way. Hmm.
Obviously he will lose customers to this stand of his. But he may well pick some up – other people who have been similarly cowed by the Premier, the press etc.
But my feeling is that these would not be the best customers to have. That they will become demanding, telling the owner who and what he should approve of. And having been won as customers for his stance on vaccines he might end up losing them for his stance on something else.
