No BBS, I am sure there was an occurrence in the Noughties, with fridges involved, anyway:

If you wake at midnight and hear a horse’s feet,
Don’t go drawing back the blind or looking in the street.
Thems that ask no questions isn’t told no lies.
So watch the wall my darling as the gentlemen go by.

‘But, but it was only one short talk that I gave to a very small group. That’s all. It was nothing. I’m not associated with that kind of thing.’

Again, Seig Heil. With a touch of a Red Guard tumbril.

Laces for a lady
Letters for a spy
So watch the wall..

The chat about the smugglers and wreckers remind me to watch Jamaica Inn. Haven’t seen it for years. Good to watch both versions but may have trouble finding the Charles Laughton one.

Had a dugite in the house one hot hot hot breathless night, just the sort of weather when the scaly f#ckers come in for the cool, three nights in a year at the most. It was trying to get away up the hallways but couldn’t grip, so sidewinding in place, I only saw him in the sheen of the floorboards- grabbed the first and only thing at hand, which was the towel around my waist, quick twist for the roo-tail whip, and mongol chop over the head and onto him. Huge bang, woke everyone up from their heat-damp comas, to find me nekkid in the hall with exploded snake all up the dadoes. My wife assumed I’d shot it, such was the noise and the mess… stank the place out for a week.
One other time, standing under a tree on the headland of the vineyard, just about to give the day away it was so freakin hot. Said to this other worker, “you know, heat like this, the snakes get up in the trees and loop themselves loose around the branches in mid-air to reduce skin contact.”
“Bullshit.”
“Straight up.. there’s one above you there, see”

Pressing the Windows key plus either the left or right arrow makes the window take up only half of the screen. That may work. Put something dark on the other half.

Or run two Çats side-by-side.

Nothing more has been mentioned about it Winston, at least publicly which leads me to believe it was credible, not just a computer playing up.

Thinking back, that was 2005. Whatever happened to all the heat back then?

That dratted 30-year cycle that is weather, not climate, Comrade….

Arky/Bruce:

Arky – it’s about to have an election (in March), so whatever it’s like now it’s going to get worse.

The root issue is that the Covid reign of terror has made a large proportion of voters nuttier than attack-hamsters, so any election is going to be a really scary proposition.

Honestly, I think the direction the election framework will go is up to who is running it.
Let me explain:
If Labor is setting it all up and calling the shots, then mail in voting will be preferred. Because ballots can be lost and and replacements found.
If the Libs manage to gain control of who votes and where, then the traditional voting method with only minor cheating will take place.
Dunno.
Need to sleep on it.

Ignoble Liars
https://amgreatness.com/2021/10/27/the-ignoble-lie/

In a controversial passage in Plato’s Republic, Socrates introduced the idea of the “noble lie” (“gennaios pseudos”).

A majestic fiction, he says, could sometimes serve society by persuading uninformed citizens of something good for them.

Ever since, many prevaricators have used the excuse that they lied for the common good.

Take Dr. Anthony Fauci, our point man on the COVID-19 epidemic.

Fauci said he misled the country about mask-wearing during the pandemic by claiming they were of little use. But he argued that he lied in order that the public not make a run on masks, deplete the supply, and thus rob medical professionals of protective equipment.

Fauci also told “noble” lies about the likely percentage of the public needing to be vaccinated to achieve herd immunity. He kept raising the bar—from 60-70 percent to 75-80 percent, to 85 percent.

Apparently, Fauci feared a lower figure, even if accurate, might lull people into complacency about getting inoculated.

Fauci also lied about his own role in routing U.S. aid money to subsidize gain-of-function viral research at the Wuhan virology lab—the likely birthplace of COVID-19.

Either Fauci was hiding his own culpability or he believed the American people might not be able to fully accept that some of their own health officials were promoting the sort of research that was partially responsible for more than 700,000 American deaths.

Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas has serially lied about the number of illegal immigrants who have crossed into the United States. He falsely claimed mounted agents were whipping migrants. He fibbed about the purported lack of federal data of apprehensions, detentions, and deportations. His assertion that the border was secure was a joke.

Apparently Mayorkas believes the public would go ballistic or his own administration would be roundly despised, if he told the bitter truth about the border: by intent, the Biden Administration has deliberately left it wide open.

And it will likely allow 2 million illegal immigrants into the country in the current fiscal year.

Lots of other unelected federal officials serially lied over the past five years by claiming or implying that harming the Trump Administration was in the public interest.

Former FBI directors Andrew McCabe and James Comey likely serially misled the nation. McCabe admittedly lied that he did not leak FBI information to the media.

James Comey on over 240 occasions while under oath in congressional cross examinations claimed he did not know or could not remember basic facts about his own role in promoting the Russian collusion hoax.

Apparently, Comey and McCabe believed that by being less than truthful, they might better emasculate Donald Trump. And that result would be beneficial to America.

Our former intelligence leaders may have been the most brazen liars. Former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper admittedly lied to Congress.

When caught in the untruth, Clapper reverted to the noble lie that he gave the least untruthful answer, apparently on the pretense that he did not wish to damage the reputation of an important intelligence agency.

Ditto John Brennan, the former head of the CIA. On two occasions he lied under oath about the agency’s monitoring of Senate staffers’ computers and the deaths of civilians caused by U.S. drone assassination missions along the Afghanistan border.

Chairman of the Joint Chiefs Mark Milley lied for days about the details of an accidental drone strike that killed innocent women and children in Afghanistan.

Either Milley is now lying when he says he warned Joe Biden about the disasters to come in Afghanistan or Biden is lying when he denies hearing any such advice.

Many of the details of Milley’s conversations with authors Bob Woodward and Robert Costa as reported in their recent muckraking book were abjectly denied by Milley.

The list of such lies could be vastly expanded.

IRS functionary Lois Lerner never told the whole untruth about weaponizing the IRS.

Former Attorney General Loretta Lynch spun an implausible yarn that she accidentally bumped into Bill Clinton on a tarmac in Phoenix and never discussed the then-current FBI investigation of Hillary Clinton.

Special counsel Robert Mueller told a whopper under oath, claiming to know almost nothing about the Steele dossier and the misadventures of Fusion GPS. Both were the two catalysts that prompted his entire investigation of “collusion” in the first place.

In some of these cases, when caught and exposed, the liars will hedge by claiming temporary amnesia.

But sometimes they admit they lied but suggest they did so for higher purposes like national security.

In truth, in most cases there was nothing noble at all in their lying. They simply spread untruths to protect their own endangered careers by masking their own wrongdoing or fobbing it onto others.

In other words, “noble lies” are rarely spun for anyone’s interests other than those of the liars themselves.

A man’s claim to be the great-grandson of legendary Native American leader Sitting Bull has been confirmed using DNA extracted from Sitting Bull’s scalp lock. This is the first time ancient DNA has been used to confirm a familial relationship between living and historical individuals.

Nope, a 9,000 year old Briton, Cheddar Man, was found to have living relatives in the area, back in 1997.

Ted Cruz was pretty good yesterday.
I think he was also putting the end to any hopes that Garland had of joining SCOTUS at any stage in the future.
Also, there was a bit of ego at play, one former SCOTUS clerk up against another.
It took Trump to flick Ted’s switch.

Ouch!

“Scomo is being forced”
These naive, gullible views will be the end of us.
Good on you for getting your letter on Alan Jones.
You weren’t the first.
You were obviously the first non Queenslander of acceptable social status by the ugly step sisters to be not ridiculed for doing so.

I don’t have the background to understand this – JC can you tell us what just happened?
It doesn’t appear to be much, and the graph doesn’t give much detail apart red, so is it just Zero Hedge craziness, or is there something happening?
A better look at the graph.

I again state I do not follow Bosi.
It’s the aggression showed toward him by those who fear the left I seek to highlight.
How many times do you see those on the left disgusted and embarrassed about their extremists gluing themselves to roads and burning buildings and toppling statues.
Yet one bloke has a well deserved go at a magistrate and the Franks of this world have to change their duds.
The enemy are at war with us.
They have stolen our freedom, our nation, our children’s future and are in the process of killing us.
As long as they can’t mock us for being extremists…..all is well.

Biden Administration in Talks to Pay Hundreds of Millions to Immigrant Families Separated at Border

The Biden administration is in talks to offer immigrant families that were separated during the Trump administration around $450,000 a person in compensation, according to people familiar with the matter, as several agencies work to resolve lawsuits filed on behalf of parents and children who say the government subjected them to lasting psychological trauma.

I haven’t flown QANTAS since the leproconian faggot banned pork (of the eating variety).
You have to believe that the moron has woked QANTAS out of the game this time. Hopefully.
Just what tired, irritable travellers want; listening to some aged poof intoning the insulting “wisdom the welders nonsense” after every take off. Adding to the already endless bulling babble that they impose on their victims.
The kale and seaweed soup will have customers running screaming for the exits.
Taking the knee next? Don’t laugh, the arrogant prick will try it.
I hope that the Govt can only impose its mask fascism on Australian domiciled airlines. 14 hours behind a mask – shove that little green man.
He’s been watching too much Channel 10.

I just started watching a replay of a presentation that was on earlier today in the US.
The presenter had a 1980’s style anime avatar that spoke when he spoke.
It was like a live action cartoon.
I had to stop watching because it was too distracting.

If you actually believe that JC, you are welcome to my seat.
Best in the boardroom does not equate to best for travellers.
There are too any superior options to bother spending your time being treated like crap by QANTAS.

Fund fact.
During the four years of Trump, the highest deportation year was still lower than the lowest deportation year under the 8 years of Obama/Biden.

Jimmy Dore, Glenn Greenwald, Aaron Mate (pronounced Mar-tay) have shown, proven, spoken about this non stop.
Hence my comment, gaslighter-in-chief.

Today Dan Andrews said the best way to protect yourself during wild weather is to get vaccinated.

h/t angry Joe Biden.

Rosie – The vaccines aren’t doing a great job with the Delta strain, so a “heavily mutated” one seems even less likely to be protected against.

“all double-vaccinated” “It’s just strange” (28 Oct)

“Now they are recovering from COVID-19, one of their teammates dead, wondering if this tragedy could have been averted.”

I suppose if you believe MSM propaganda it might be strange, there is that.

Cassie, you should avoid the smh today lest the Sharma news enrages you to the point of madness.

Ho hum. A bunch of Lieboral wets and corrupt climate scam grifters formed a secret junta to stop party caving in to the LNP’s Bananaby wing and the horrors that would follow, like protecting regional jobs from the Marxist madness in Glasgow.

Half of the parliamentary LNP might as well be working for the Chinese Communist Party. They’re traitors to this country.

PS: 95%+ of Australian journalists are lefty fruitcakes and I note that David Crowe fits in seemlessly as an anti-LNP campaigner at the SMH after leaving the Paywallian.

And I’d like to thank St Ruth for carrying the Bosi Files over to day 5.

Night watchman.

Sharma can fuck off.

LOL.

4 weeks ago today, my package arrived at “Sydney airport sorting centre”.
I think it may have found it’s way to the Qantas first class lounge & is living it up.

Ahahaha! Don’t shoot until you see the whites of his eyes!

stfu, St Ruth.

You bang on endlessly. Sometimes you are right. Most of the time you eat crow.

“Local councils are illegal”
“Six days until judgment day”
“18 to 48 months until the vaxxies all die”

Now you are misrepresenting what other people think regarding their own personal political views and knowledge of economics.

You may as well be Bob Brown lecturing us about economics. Worse still, a mad mathematician with no empirical economic research, like John Quiggin.

“No harm in trade with China”

Stop being a clown.

We can’t stop China. Trump or a competent US President can.

Go and throw out ALL of your Chinese made stuff RIGHT NOW, you bloody hypocrite.

You have six days until We, The People come knocking.

There are two things that this Biden will have in it.
Reversal of the PBM laws that Trump brought in.
And reversal of the SALT limits.
Anything else is just theatre until the Virginia elections on Tuesday (US time).
The DNC need a Dem administration across the river.

Is this a joke? Five days of shit tier mumbling about it by you.

There is something quite wrong with many Victorians, very Pharisee like – the fundamental sin seems to be hyprocrisy.

Wow. Just wow. That was real Baptist County speaking there, with the full-blown rhetoric of telling it to the man. A very powerful speech you put up there Indolent. ‘I am the Majority, I am Everybody’. Gives me hope that America will pull round again and throw off the Marxist stain in favour of the good ole Constitution once more. Who was that man? Get him into politics quick. He sure says he ain’t got no English schoolteacher telling him how to say it, but he’s infused with the direct language of Martin Luther King.

That’s a winner. And the shock of the middle class bureaucrats at the spontaneous applause. Wonderful.

If the reports are accurate, and Joe Rogan’s doctor did in fact treat up to 200 members of congress with Invermectin, doesn’t the American public (who have been spoon-fed a terrible narrative on the drug and its usefulness) deserve to know?

Austria talking about banning unvaccinated people buying fuel. Many euro countries in various states of banning unvaccinated people from life, now starting in on food shops, healthcare, etc.

Experimenting with what works and doesn’t to coerce people into obeying, feeding the results back into the gaping maw of the WHO who tweak its ‘advice’ which then flows back out to CHOs everywhere who greedily consume it and tweak and implement and stretch the people in the rack a little more, tighten the screw a bit further this way, feed that data back, etc, etc.

The reports of no electricity is another example of “Melbourne’s today is the future for the rest of us”.

Melbourne would have ample elecktrickery if everyone had been jabbed.
