The Scummo Net Zero is based on three heroic assumptions:
• Ultra-low-cost solar: sending out power at $15/MW to facilitate green hydrogen, clean steel, low emissions cement, green transport, electricity too cheap to meter. Starting in 2030.
• Carbon Capture and Storage: to allow cheap gas to support Ultra-low-cost solar. Starting in 2025.
• Soil sequestration: cheap soil monitoring ($3/ha) to prove properly managed Australian soils are mopping up any naughty carbons. Starting in 2025.
That’s it.
Seriously. The other 128 pages are repetition and sloganeering about the Aussie Way. *

Wanted to be a General but suddenly saw “exciting opportunities” outside the military.
Speaking of former SASR COs becoming generals, I once heard a tale about Mike Jeffrey (former CO SASR, later a Major General, later Governor General).
He and some other SASR officers were tossing a few ideas about improving the Army late one night in the Officers’ Mess. One officer, in a burst of enthusiasm, said something on the lines of “When you become a general, you’ll be able to fix all this”. In a moment of self awareness that should be experienced by all senior officers, Jeffrey replied “When I become a general, I’ll be part of the problem”.
I wouldn’t praise the qualities of either wanting to become a General, or being capable of being a General. Such qualities are quite distasteful, in my experience.
If you haven’t either risked your career, or actually cost your career as a junior Officer (in looking after your men and/or mission), you haven’t actually been doing your job properly.
Whilst there are always exceptions, the best Officers are usually those who decide to get out at Major or LTCOL level. I say this for a number of reasons:
1. To get to these levels you needed to show at least competence.
2. These levels are where you stop leading men, and start becoming a political/shiny arse. Good people, with the right motivation, join to lead men.
3. Those willing to leave at this level generally know they are capable of transitioning and make a go of it. Hanging around after this point is easy money and takes little initiative. I think the term is ‘Deadwood’.
4. If they want to be a General or to at least obtain significant rank, I question why they are really there. The answer can be quite distasteful. Those who go looking for power and influence, probably shouldn’t be given it.
5. Give me an example of a General who you’d give the thumbs up to…and I’ll generally assume you’ve never met or worked under them.
As I said, there are always exceptions…but rare.
If a-Huma Huma Abedin came into my apartment for “coffee” late at night as the second act, I’d give it 50-50 that she’s up for some fun.
Gotta do these things properly, though. Give the coffee 20min to raise the heartrate, say something scandalous to dilate the pupils… if things look slow, there’s the foot massage/spilt stuff double play.
That’s why these lefties always end up with dud roots or the door in their face, they’ve got no sense of tradition.

His military career was honourable, and reached heights that most others only aspire to. I doubt there is much to rake up there.

In the Army, more often than not (and quite ironically), it’s often for doing what you and I would say is the ‘right thing’. Go along to get along exists in the services, too.
What he says and does in the here and now, as a political aspirant, is more relevant and worthy of critical critique.

As for comics, Lotocoti, the ads were a fine part of the experience. I remember seeing that Sea Monkey one myself, but was never interested. Rotifers or something. But I spent quite a lot of pocket money on the stamp packets that were also advertised in them. Ended up with a shedload of East German stamps, which were padding for the few interesting ones in each packet. I still recall a fine stamp I got in one of them from Sierra Leone which was in the shape of Sierra Leone. It made a nice addition to the collection, even though Sierra Leone stamps were just as much a business as the East German ones were. Prettier though, as the East German ones were grim, forbidding and frankly quite boring.

I was involved in some studies of Leadership in the ADF years ago…it was supposed to result in a book (which never happened).
The Admiral Nelson article I posted here a week ago, on Trafalgar Day, was an offshoot of that.
The whole concept seemed to revolve around two different models: the “Great Man” (you are born with them, and we should study them) version and a sort of “it can be learned” model. After a while the whole concept became too hard, and those involved drifted away.
At the time the Values concepts were running wild in institutions, and in the Navy it eventuated into timber posts with words on them stuck up around bases: “Courage, Integrity” etc on them. However as one person commented; just because the trainees drove past them on arrival didn’t mean they had them imbued straight away.
I think I told the story here before…the Training Commander came and asked me for a historical leadership phrase, to be spelled out over the heads of officer trainees as they sat in the Gunroom for dinner etc. I suggested “Engage the Enemy more Closely”, which was Nelson’s at Trafalgar, or “Don’t give up the ship” from the battle between HMS Shannon and USS Chesapeake. He didn’t like either, and finally had the five “Navy values” words spelt out instead.

Baldwin is discovering that “co-producer” is a little more than your name on the credits and an easy payday.
Although I am taking the stories about the armourer and AD with a tiny pinch of salt.
No doubt Baldwin’s PR are planting adverse stories.
There is a delicious Catch 22 irony here.
By denigrating the competence of the support staff it might get Baldwin the actor off. But it puts Baldwin the producer squarely in the frame for employing these muppets in the first place.

I can see how these tso numpties will be thrown under the bus to protect the bigger “name” who pulled the trigger. Who, having played roles on many…many movies involving firearms with far more professional expert staff decided this time not to check for himself.
All roads lead back to Baldwin. Even the long and windy ones.
Grant was tactically an average commander.
What he had was ample human resources and the will to use them in wearing Lee down.
As Lee said at Cold Habor, “This is not war but murder”.
That’s not something a modern commander would want to emulate.

Given that he (via the production company) hired them that’s not a bright move, because a lot in this case is going to hang on the competence of those two and whether hiring them was an economy measure that compromised safety on the set.

We’re still waiting for you to explain what restrictions your friend Andrews has actually ‘lifted’, as you were bizarrely and nonsensically mumbling on about the other day.
Coincidentally it was the same day that Andrews attempted to officially become a dictator that you came in here derailing that with ‘oh look – he’s actually lifting restrictions, see you’re all just being hysterical – democracy in action!’.
I mean, perhaps you’ve always been quiet pro-dan shill trolling this place. It would explain a lot.
In the game of ‘Rock Paper Scissors’ Baldwin is now playing, “Not going to Jail” is the option he’s trying to land on.
Understandable.
AP news have fact checked the expose claim re teen deaths.
Refute that with a single word: Wilderness.
Interestingly I’m presently reading of the Japanese campaign in Malaya, and it’s the same tactics: contact then flank, contact then flank, contact then flank. Maybe they read up on Grant before they landed in Kota Bharu.
Never a truer word said, Bruce. My old grandad, a man from the UK Border Reivers, ‘free thinker’ as he called himself, having taken ‘the King’s shilling’, surviving 3 years as a prisoner of the Turks in WW1, was fond of reciting Grey’s Elegy to me. This bit has always stuck:
“Full many a gem of purest ray serene
The dark unfathomed caves of ocean bear:
Full many a flower is born to blush unseen
And waste its sweetness on the desert air.”

Unless he is giving a genuine “how I fucked up” speech.

That’s both unfair and cruel. Rosie and her family have suffered under Dan as so many have and she’s been quite clear about that. Just because she has a different view about Covid as a disease and the vaxx as a response to it (and I’ve never heard her say that vaxxes are great with no problems), doesn’t mean she should be suspected of some sort of grand collusion with Dicatator Dan (who is strongmaning over established law like that first Dictator Julius Caesar almost to the letter).
Textbook tactics.
Where a great commander – e.g. Lee generally or Jackson in the Shenandoah Valley campaign (which I believe is still studied at West Point) – really comes to the fore is in the manoeuvering before contact is made and in timing, which sets up the victory conditions.
Judge dismisses call for her to stand down in no jab, no work challenge.
Good for her!
I think that’s right.
The fork in the road is:-
1. Criminal charges as Baldwin the actor; and/or
2. Civil suits involving Baldwin the co-producer.
He is definitely looking to contain the damage to the civil sphere, and deflect criminal liability to the AD and armourer.
I agree with Bear.
He is not going to jail.
Eleven years ago we were heading from Williamsburg up to Washington through Spotsylvania County. There was the usual historical marker on the side of the road – it said “Wilderness” with dates and a brief explanation.

You continue to provide hot takes on my state of mind and motivations that rival srrs for being both preposterous and scurrilous.
I live in hope that Andrews will be forced to follow Perrottet’s lead and remove nearly all restrictions this year .
You on the other hand revel in scapegoating and scaremongering.
All I am hoping in relation to democracy is seeing Andrews lose in a landslide in late 2022.
Now go get a haircut and sneer at the old ladies at the coffee club as you walk past.
Roger – Perhaps you should look at links? I think that graphic may be extracted from Ken Burns’ excellent doco. The Wilderness Campaign was an unqualified victory for the Union, and the only thing that prevented the collapse of the Confederacy was that they could establish WW1-like trench lines in front of Richmond and Petersburg.

Whilst there are always exceptions, the best Officers are usually those who decide to get out at Major or LTCOL level.
Unless there has been a relatively recent change, promotion to MAJ (E) was automatic, and time based. Agree re LTCOL (E) level.
5. Give me an example of a General who you’d give the thumbs up to…and I’ll generally assume you’ve never met or worked under them.
Having worked directly with him, John Baker was an example of a general who was both competent and a good human being.
That isn’t what the abstract says. Happy to listen to an explanation.
“the internet of things”. Very happy to listen to an explanation.
And considering all the brawls I’ve gotten into with #IStandWithDanners on twitter, the letters I’ve written to MRS, not to mention a couple of Danloving family members I’ve offended, actually hilariously stupid.
The lesser of two evils.
Deflect criminal liability to the armourer and AD.
In doing so, that necessarily exposes him to civil action as producer for employing these numpties in the first place.
Financially ruinous, but avoids jail.
Always know which hat you are wearing.
The Glad Bag forgot this rule and look what happened.
And thankyou Lizzie.
I’ll say again the only people I see dealing longterm with what is happening in Victoria sensibly are the LDP MLAs, fully vaccinated but standing firm against the dictator.
The liberals now putting up more of a fight, finally.
I should add that you can see the prototype of the Wilderness Campaign in Vicksburg, which Grant also cracked where no previous general could do so.
I agree.
I did.
I don’t think that is a slam dunk.
After Brandon Lee bought the farm I will bet these insurance contracts contained buckets of “competency, process and procedures” carve-outs around arms and stunts.
But, yes, ring-fencing it to the civil realm is his best option.
Wut?
‘There’s A Fraud Around Here’: David Schweikert
On the House floor, Rep. David Schweikert (R-AZ) spoke about spending and deficits.
1/. Stay out of jail.
2/. Where it doesn’t undercut (1), deflect liability blame.
3/. Drag (2) out for as long a time frame as possible to allow (4)
4/. Ring fence, “lose”, gift to wife, etc as much asset as possible
Yes.
Wut? Happy to listen an explanation.
Of course the rest of the Commission has no bias on any matter. Laws are written so as to be interpreted in so many ways to further the employment of the legal system. When the High Court overrides the constitution one of them has to go, preferably the judges and the constitution needs to be strengthened. What do we expect with the current crop of pollies, who you thought could not be worse than the previous crop, have a PM who has abrogated his responsibilities. A group of ten year old’s have more clue than this lot. Whilst a lot of the pollies have a reasonable level of education almost none have a comprehension level of the said ten year old’s. Quite honestly, any cats commenting on this site could run the country by lunchtime and then have a bludge for the rest off the day, and that’s the ones I disagree with a lot of the time.
Today is the Feast Day of Saints Simon and Jude, Apostles
St Jude (Thaddeus) is the Patron Saint of desperate causes, desperate situations and lost causes.
I can’t remember ever reading the epistle of Jude, 25 verses in all.
I did today.
Prayer to Saint Jude would not go astray.
It sure as shit does not say that.
It relates to use of electronic devices interfacing remotely to automatically record contacts.
This was ultimately proven to be unworkable, mainly because of the lack of control over physical distance. In short, it turns up too many false contacts outside 1.5 metres over a given time window, so is practically useless.
I haven’t read the nano-wrigglers section, though.
Yes, well, that approach has worked so well for us in the past. I mean we had ALL the evidence to show that Global Warming is a scam. We still have that evidence. It has achieved nada.
This is not a science or evidence based argument. It is being imposed upon us by two minorities; the faith based gaia genocide advocates and the money power fraudsters.
For the first you must destroy the publics benevolence to their faith. You can never change their beliefs as their faith will sustain them.
For the second you must make the penalties so massive that they voluntarily stop peddling the nonsense.
Slap a Civil claim and get a lien on his assets, probably too late already.

We did the hundred-mile Shenandoah Ridge drive looking down onto that fabled valley.
Hairy recounting the details of the Shenandoah campaigns to me, and me thinking bemusedly of the military campaigns in history in a broader perspective. Alexander, Caesar, Pompey (then a great gap in my knowledge) to pick up on the American War of Independence, the Civil War, and of course, the great battles of Napoleon. I didn’t broach the twentieth century in my thoughts though. Too close to home.
I did sing the song to him though, which I learned as a child in primary school in Sydney’s outer Western Suburbs. I doubt if any do ‘class singing’ of traditional folksongs today, but in my day we learned many of them. It seemed fitting to sing it on this journey, just for the name. The rendition I link here is absolutely sublime. Enjoy.

Baldwin’s net worth is reported at USD 60 meg.
I thought it would be less, but he was pulling $300k per episode for 30 Rock.
There is going to be a significant crimp put in his portfolio I think, and his future as an actor is largely cooked.
Gab, this was discussed in a separate thread a couple of weeks ago. There is nothing like that in this patent. It’s more about collecting data using smartphones and then processing it to determine if a person needs any more jabs (simplified). Nothing pleasant, but far from IOT in our blood.

Refute that with a single word: Wilderness.
An indecisive bloodbath, Bruce.
The only positive for Grant tactically was in not retreating.
As Bruce Catton put it (paraphrased from memory), when Grant’s army came to a fork in the road, and turned south, his men knew that at last they had a general who would pursue the enemy and victory.
Faustus, my comment was about the inability today to link to articles from that particular publication. It wasn’t about your explanation of the figures with which I heartily agree.
I just want to see all sides, and there appears to be a lot of interference and spurious “fact checking”.
I’d appreciate your thoughts on the 17% increase in young male deaths compared to a five year sample. It was dismissed by AP with a corresponding 11% decrease in females. Not quite sure why that’s significant.
And he drives the fastest milk cart in the West.
It’s probably recorded in the ‘internet of things’.
People wonder why their genuine and real beefs with this shit state of affairs are labelled as tinfoil-ridden fantasies. Again, this quote holds water:
John of Mel.
And the idea was ditched because attempts to measure distance between devices couldn’t be refined.
Example.
If a subject turned up at the MCG for a big match it would probably generate 40,000 contacts.
Plus a few on the footpath as he rode home on the tram.
There’s no coming back from nano wrigglers. Look at Cat 1.0.
Aww shucks. I was awaitin’ for the pulsing to start. Coulda been interesting.
One of the most frustrating things in arguing against this stuff is being asked variations of the question, “Do you believe in 5G nano-wrigglers?”.
Exactly.
Genuine causes ruined with Bird-esque nonsense reproduced as fact, and drowning any reasonable arguments and/or dissent in nuffy juice. This is precisely the sort of stuff srrsrs is legendary for, and does nobody any favours at all.
Very happy to listen to an explanation as to what that statement means. From anyone.
They don’t write songs of that calibre any more.
Well, they do.
But it’s more along the lines of:-
Remember Q?

Gab.
You’ve done a jolly good job linking up those petitions.
Might be time for a break and some deep breaths.
And I don’t mean that in a viscous way.
Or vicious either.
It’s a simple recording error. Boys who transitioned to females were wrongly recorded as having died.
So no problems with the vaccines at all.

Making Martian rocket biofuel on Mars (27 Oct)
Global warming which supposedly requires biofuels is supposedly a problem on Earth, not Mars. The atmosphere of Mars is already 99% CO2, so a little more isn’t going to do anything much, except maybe cause an extremely cold planet to get a tiny amount warmer. But climate dosh doesn’t grow on trees, and university scientists just lurve climate dosh.
Anyway all you need on Mars is a nuclear power station then you have as much rocket fuel as you want, after electrolyzing the abundant water ice. Biofuels on Mars are insane.
I remember reading that – his soldiers thought they would turn and march North, and Grant would join the list of generals that had faced Robert E Lee, and been defeated. Instead they turned South, and the cheering began..
I’m intrigued. How are they going to grow biofuels on Mars?
Rep. Madison Cawthorn: ‘Demon Doctor’ Fauci ‘Must Never Be Allowed To Escape Justice’
Good summary of the electoral fraud which got rid of Trump and fucked the West:

Based on one popular movie starring Matt Damon, it requires a lot of faeces.
So they are going to move San-Francisco to Mars.

George would be too busy admiring himself in a mirror to notice.
I spent many years coping with the fantasies of my Sainted Mother. She had a fine intellect, sadly never educated nor developed much except by her own common sense which did creep in occasionally. She could be entertaining at times due to her tremendous capacity for imaginative converse with interesting beings from Ancient Egypt and elsewhere. This was during her good periods. In her less good periods, she became a dissociated zombie doing ‘automatic’ writing and travelling to ‘other worlds’ wandering the streets in her nightgown, clearly in need of care. After long periods of hospitalized psychiatric care and medication she eventually became capable of independent living, integrating her experiences into a form of Spiritualism which gave her a social group for afiliation and normal social life.
The molecular structures of the brain can gang awry. It happens. A stern sense of reality is necessary in observers when such people start to theorise in ways that matter and then organise politically. We all seek ways to ‘order’ reality, but stick to known areas under the curve and keep away from outliers is my take on it. In practical terms, keep it real. In any collectivity of adherents to a belief (scientific or otherwise), the ability, indeed tendency, to run off the rails of normality is always there.
Hence, always verify. And check the O rings. 🙂

Send Twiggy. He’ll fix ’em.
Except when it works. I give you the two greatest scientific frauds ever perpertated: Global Warming and mRNA “vaccines”. Both achieved by hysterical activism.
Lizzie – Sorry to hear about your mum. My mum suffered mental illness last year, while looking after her I was losing a kilo a week just from stress. Very interesting how the brain works, both hers and mine. Fortunately mum has recovered and is in good shape now, able to live independently.
No matter how much I read on WW2 there is always something cropping up I’ve never come across ….
The last major German victory of any import was the Battle of Bautzen. It was an enormous tank battle involving over 1500 tanks. The Germans wiped out nearly two Guards armies. It was fought in April, 1945. The Battle to retake Lauban in April – May represented the last real blitzkrieg of the German Army where the Luftwaffe and the Wehrmacht operated in a co-ordinated fashion to retake the town of Lauban in Silesia, which they absolutely had to have since it was a major rail hub. The Germans took the town and held it to the surrender, allowing the coal mines to produce tens of thousands of tons of coal and send them into Germany right up until the end of the war.

Australia secures additional Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine for 2022 and 2023
Media Release – 25 Jul 2021
“These additional doses further expands and strengthens Australia’s vaccine capacity,” Minister Hunt said.
“More than 280 million doses of COVID-19 vaccines have now been secured to support the COVID-19 vaccine roll-out.”
“We’ve taken this step on advice from the expert Science and Industry Technical Advisory Group.”
280 million sounds like a lot of vaccines for Australia.
