Sure, the Global UN Agenda is making life here pretty rotten, but it IS a Global Agenda, being implemented around the world, just to different degrees in different parts, and all set to ‘meet at the same destination’, and there really are far worse places in the world to be stuck when Globalist Hammers come down.
For decades we’ve had people rightly point out that Muslims should stay in & fight for their countries, rather than run away & leave their women & children to suffer the wars Westerners are sent to fight for them.
Yet here we our now, with our own uniquely glorious & rich land (that super powers & individually super rich people are heavily invested in), being attacked from within & without, while constantly being told to basically run away and leave the usurpers to it without a fight.
Sure, we may not be able to do much more than die prayerful martyrs but those prayers of the faithful don’t go unheard by God and He has promised to not leave us without remnants.

A great takedown by APSI on Keating re: Love-in for China…
https://www.aspistrategist.org.au/keating-out-of-date-and-out-of-touch-on-taiwan/
Keating is a shallow twerp at best. With a mild gift for invective.
It seems to me that the more a government tries to instill fear into people the less reason there is to be worried about whatever it is they’re concentrating on.
Nah. Just another corrupt ex-politician on the take. #FollowTheMoney.
Had my comment on Keating rejected from the Oz yesterday. It started with describing him as “a very bitter bloke”.
They tried that stunt on my when I had my 15YO Mini Schnauzer put down a week or so back. Told the vet – nice chap – if I couldn’t be inside with Max, then the vet could do his thing in the car park.
Which, after a bit of head-scratching, he duly did.
Sorry to hear that Mark.

My mother’s elderly poodle died two and a half weeks ago. She’d been very ill for a while now and was put down……we’re all very upset. It was and is heartbreaking and my mother is still grieving but on Saturdays we visit my sister who has two Aussie terriers….the most divine angels in the world (I’m biased)….and it’s cheering Mum up. They know Mum is grieving. Dogs give us humans so much…probably much more than we deserve.

I’m doing my part. It’s not much, but that’s what I can do. I’m unvaxxed, I’ll go to a protest, I talk to people when I get a chance, try to educate my kids about it (that has its own dangers, considering the amount of propaganda around us). What else can be done?
My worry is that they are coming for the kids. Our second daughter is turning 16 soon, and she will have to be jabbed if she wants to participate in this society. She does, and who can blame her?
With a little that is known about these “vaccines” I’m inclined to use – what’s the term? – ah, yes “precautionary principle” and try to avoid this for them until we know more. Unless this “more” will mean that every scary story about them is true, or even if half of them is true, then it’s an obvious “no” from us.
And how to do propose to do it while staying in Australia? We are running out of options.

As an aside, there is a decent movie that is in rotation on SBS World Movies called ALPHA. It is a fictitious take on how man first developed his partnership with the canine. It stars our very own Kodi Smit-McPhee. I have watched it a couple of times as I believe it is very well acted and the filming is beautiful. It is sub-titled as they are supposedly speaking an early language. Very easy to follow though. It should still be available to watch on SBS on Demand. I highly recommend it.
Also, the German version of Heidi. That little actress is eminently watchable.

Yes indeed, China is deliberately and dramatically restructuring it’s economy, away from growth through RE and infrastructure to growth by much more organic, industrial means. And this time it looks like they will stay the course.
Hence the collapsing RE giants like Evergrande. This event spells disaster for WA as all that BHP , RIO and FMG i/o infrastructure churns out millions of tons creating the mother of all gluts. Which eventually will result in production shut downs. Iron ore sub $40 per ton is coming at us fast. Disaster also for Oz generally as our weakening dollar ramps up inflation and interest rates. We are heading into very difficult times from which it’s doubtful we will emerge.

I hadn’t heard about the German Pathologist that estimates based on autopsies, 30-40% of people that died in the two weeks post mRNA jabbing , died as a direct result.
It is estimated for every child 5-11 with serious co-morbidities that does not die with covid, 117 will die from adverse effects of mRNA jabs. That is in the course of vaccinating 1.26 million 5-11 year olds.

COVID vaccine mandate leaves WA schools facing teacher shortage, compounding border pressure
She said while she believed government schools and most of those in the independent sector would be adequately staffed despite the mandate, some schools could be left short.
“There are some in those non-government schools that have a particular faith issue or a particular education philosophy, if I can call it that, about vaccination, and I think they’ll probably have greater numbers who have expressed that they’ll be seeking an exemption, and who may want to make some kind of political point,” she said.
“It tends to be the more fundamental Christian* schools and some of the … Steiner schools, for example, have a particular view about vaccination and technology*.”

““broken glass” – replace with chipped flint”
What is really hilarious about what you just said, is that Abos never even knapped Flint. They only used shellfish shells as cutting tools and scrapers. The reason they laid a whole animal on the fire is because they couldn’t gut it. Farmers and city dwellers indeed!
I know it’s hellishly hard for everyone, everywhere.
What’s worse for parents to have to ‘choose’ for their children, the risks of death or life long suffering from the Jabs, or being removed from their parents and put into State ‘Care’?
No one should be put in the position of having to make that sort of decision, but how much worse would it be finding yourself with that sort of non-choice in a foreign land where natives are too busy trying to keep their own alive to expend time & resources on those who ran away from their own country.
That is my point; this IS A GLOBAL WAR & The Enemy has Occupied Every Nation.
Even Americans, with all their constitutional protections, are still being forced into having to make horrendous decisions because ‘freedoms’ to ‘move to another State’ mean little to those too psychologically & financially devastated by a myriad of bad new laws to so much as move out of their own way.
DrB – I was also interested to see if his detective fiction was available, since I’m sure plenty of Cats like such things, and he’s written a long series. Sadly they aren’t on Gutenberg, but are cheap on Amazon in Kindle format. So if anyone wants to binge read some detective novels he wrote 17 of them which might be fun.

All Cats should read Somyurek’s evidence. It is very enlightening particularly his evidence in relation to the parliamentary treatment of the Red Shirts scandal.
It was damning of all sides of politics as none were prepared to shut off the provision of taxpayer money for party political purposes.
PUP or the LDP should develop a campaign around the utter corruption of the existing political players. It is an absolute disgrace.
And include a tour of Tennant Creek; a trip through the IGA* (gasp, choke, wheeze) will tell more than words can convey.
Re the conversation about Fitzroy Crossing: we stayed there for a couple of nights in a caravan park 10 years ago. Did the excellent Geikie Gorge trip and drove extensively around the area, amazed at the area covered by the river when in flood. The local store was run by competent, polite aborigines, but I detected from the park owner that the local whities and darkies didn’t much enjoy the ideals of community diversity.
*This tour is seasonal, depending whether or not the IGA has been burnt to the ground again.

The calculations and the diagrams, constellations
High strung

You in the cowshed

The appearance of the magic number “827” suggests to me that this is the “preliminary” survey which was discussed at much length on the 11 October open thread.
rosie kindly referred us to the authors’ updated paper where they accepted that the criticism of their preliminary survey was valid, but claimed that their final results validated a more normal figure (the authors in fact hinting, broadly speaking, that doing a preliminary survey at all had been a poor decision).
So I’d be wary about assuming this article to be a justified attack on the vaxxes.
(To make it clear, I’m not endorsing the vaxxes, and am still unvaxxed myself, but I think we vaxx sceptics can afford to stick to rigorous analysis to support our arguments.)
Good training. My nephew missed out on some big prize money (we’re talking 6 digits or even more) because he was sniped in one of the early rounds of the Fortnite global championship. He’s doing a degree now, but has a substantial stash in his bank account from esports.

After quite a few/several/I dunno years here, and after consulting a focus group consisting entirely of my supporters, I’ve decided to remain on the Cat.
I know that I’ve done this more than once before, but for the sake of my mental health, this has to be my decision. It’s going to be hard, but I will bravely face whatever Fate throws at me. Life is full of challenges, and I am meeting this one head on.
As someone who came from nothing to getting 100/100 in Arithmetic in third class, I know all about the difficulty of getting one’s talents appreciated. It is a hard road for those of us whose brilliance requires frequent reminders of its existence.
Fortunately, the internet provides ample opportunity to remind others not only of my brilliance (100/100 is not to be scoffed at!) but also to keep them up to date about my charity towards the less fortunate.
I can’t think of anything I did today, but I’ll keep you all posted. Something may come up.
Finally, I realise that people’s medical dramas are not for everyone – so I’m going to ask for a separate thread called ‘Arthritis for Beginners.’
With a song in my heart and a tear in my eye …
Yes but keep in mind that so many on the Left AND Right have lived under PC BS for so long that any strongly delivered words are ‘heard’ as “screaming”=”violence”.
Coming from the Right they want to be able to say, ‘Finally, a Judge is as angry about the BS as we are!’, i.e. ‘The Big Jobs are also sensing a HOP time may be coming.’, which would be sensational were it to happen because on the whole most on the Right simply want the dramatic drongos to come to their senses & pull their heads in rather than have them hacked off and used as rather serious ‘Messaging Tools’.

Maybe off topic or stated elsewhere, but I bet Bert Newton is disappointed that the Chinese ear transplant ambassador to Australia was at his funeral etc today.
Stone Tools
Many of the tools were created through the process of knapping. Sharp edges were formed by striking two stones together: a hammer stone and a core stone. Pressure flaking, the process of applying pressure to stone using a hard, sharp point to detach small flakes with a range of edges, was also used. The implements crafted have a variety of uses including the carving of weapons, meat, sacred and ceremonial objects, and wooden objects such as dishes.
Just a spelling correction, TN.

Huh? I don’t recall linking to The Independent. Certainly not that story.
No, the reasons they laid the animal on the fire are:
1. The animal hadn’t been bled out, so it had to be cooked immediately
2. Native animals are particularly lean, so the viscera had to be cooked, since that’s where the Fat is.
Remember, Fat is the most essential foodstuff and it’s extremely rare in the Australian natural environment.
Checking the Teev guide this morning, I found that all of the networks had a live feed to Bert Newton (big in Melbourne) ‘s funeral.
They sure are desperate for content.
The coverage was equivalent to ANZAC Day.
Bert was hardly a major figure outside Danistan – Molly, OTOH was nationwide. But, the offer of free content was irresistable to the FTA networks.
“whole bottle of Pol Roget”
Yummo….although my fave is Bollinger.
9 news tonight Bert’s funeral was the lead story.
Obviously a slow news night.
Chris,
that link you posted is very informative, however, there is NO mention of flint. The stones are anything they collected and were able to bash about a bit. They never developed spear points, or flint knives. The stone bowls were worn from long use. The only step forward they made during the thousands of years here was the spear chucka, which allowed them to throw their spears further and with a little more accuracy. Until the White Man arrived and the Abos were able to snaffle some fencing wire or odd bits of reo, their spears consisted of pointed bits of wood which were rubbed sharp on rough stones, then hardened from carefully placing said point into the fire for short bursts of time.
Discussing the IBAC revelations over dinner the Prince observed that the Mafia are rank amateurs compared to politicians.
I responded that they are probably much nicer human beings as well.
Nothing but contempt for every single one of those vile and contemptible weasels.
Molly was?
Didn’t even get a state funeral.
Chris,you are correct to cite this article in respect to Aboriginal stone hand tools and scrappers.
We are extremely fortunate in having a property that contains an ancient site of a Bora Ring (Aboriginal initiation & ceremonial ground). As it is sited near a perennial creek (probably stocked with eels & silver perch long ago) and in a grassy woodland valley that attracts a lot of roos, it must have had a regular flow of clan groups. I regularly pick up stone hand tools and scrapers as rains expose them over the years. All have worked or ground edges. I have also found grinding stones for grinding seeds, and others of deep ochre colour which were probably the source of ceremonial body paint. I believe we also have an “eel oven” at the base of the very old Casuarina.
There are at least 4 Aboriginal “digs” in our area which were excavated by anthropologists in the 1960s, although all were in stone shelters in difficult and pretty inaccessible terrain.
We feel very fortunate in having these reminders of the peoples who once walked our property and lived out their lives there. We have wired off the Bora Ring from the cattle, as they disturb the stones, and have made little plaques to record the other artefacts, like the eel oven and the grinding stones. I keep all the hand tools in my library, all marked according to where they were found.

We, of course, don’t have any examples that have lasted in our area, but in central and northern Australia I have seen many bowls carved out of wood (Mulga?) for carrying babies and also yams, seeds etc. I was given some examples many years ago and they are in my collection. The descendants of the old people on the NSW South Coast would carve these out of local inland cedar. My husband also brought home an elaborate fish trap woven out of reeds which he purchased on a fishing trip in Maningrida. The dilly bags that the women wove in the inland were also quite elaborate and skilful.
I always pegged them as grifters.
You may be right. But as it was mentioned by someone else earlier, imagine what unemployment would be like if 300,000 PRs didn’t leave and 60,000 Aussies hadn’t either.

You’re not concerned about some activist declaring the area his?
Frankly, my first reaction to something like that would be similar to the Northern NSW farmers who had a whole raft of orders placed on their properties if a Koala was seen there – they went around and shot every koala they could find.
The correct response is to ask if he has heard the good news and accepted 90 protons into his heart as his lord and saviour.
Thanks, Johanna. I shall check them out.
Farmers in my neck of the woods each have their collection of stone tools they’ve unearthed from their paddocks.
Disgraceful. This is a goddamned popularity contest.
He’s right. But so is the judge – you don’t have any rights. Read the State constitution. State legislative power is virtually limitless. The State of NSW could legislate tomorrow that all green eyed people are to be executed. They really wouldn’t have much recourse given that judges and politicians chipped away and ignored human rights over the last two years.
Ahh yes. The old Two Ronnies jokes!

Yes well. Don’t take the government to court, however. Also, Extinction Rebeltards can break whatever laws they please.

You’re not concerned about some activist declaring the area his?
Frankly, my first reaction to something like that would be similar to the Northern NSW farmers who had a whole raft of orders placed on their properties if a Koala was seen there – they went around and shot every koala they could find.
A friend of mine said that when the whole “land rights” thing started his father said to him that if he ever saw a circle of stones anywhere on the property he should scatter them all around so no trace of the circle remained and not tell anyone except his father.
He never said to me whether he did…
Sorry Pogria, the requirement for flint tools is a Phurhpie. What people use depends on what is available. As a heavy flint user myself, I buy old English knapped flints – by internet from an American supplier.
I have learned that flint nodules can be found beneath the cliffs of Eucla – quite analogous to the Chalk, where the white cliffs of Dover leave flint nodules on the beaches below as they are eroded. Otherwise Aboriginal tools could be knapped from any other fine siliceous material – chert, banded iron or jaspilite, and so on. Flint is particularly nice but not necessary for stone tools.
For knives, volcanic glass aka obsidian is awesome – but we Australians have an very old landscape and its mostly all gone. However, the glass telegraph insulators across the Centre were used to chip out some of the most amazing knapped tools in Australian history.

Well not reclaiming possession, but certainly creating problems – yes.
My biggest concern is that descendants of one particular clan group actually believe that the area in within their ancient territory – but evidence suggests this is quite wrong – & that it is part of the territory of another significant group. I really don’t want to get involved in that – so have not agreed to access of local groups. Which is a shame really.
My husband jokes that if any coal seam gas groups want access, we will quickly invoke the “ancient sites” issue. And quite rightly, actually.
Incidentally, I have left all artefacts to the proper authorities in my Will – as I don’t trust descendants to put the same value on them as I do.
Separate but equal……
I think that is a great pity.
Look, I am not a member of the “sorry” group that seeks to victimise the Aboriginal people as a result of white settlement. A silly, and useless exercise.
But I have a great wistfulness about what I call “the lost tribes” when I travel about this great country. They were great survivors for all those years and I want to preserve the few remnants that showed that “they were here”.
Hell yes. Mutual respect would be awesome… if possible in a culture filled with humbug.
An angle to the latest dispute with the wharfies which the MSM predictably is ignoring: where are the whinging advocates of equal employment opportunity and opponents of entrenched male privilege etc etc when the wharfies’ union wants to confine employment on the wharves to their families and friends? That,I assume, is positive discrimination.
Nobody ever heard of Juukan Gorge or listed it as a significant sacred site until Rio blew it up and all of a sudden it was a terrible desecration and the tears flowed like water.
Tears dried up a bit when Rio opened the chequebook.
The famed Bronzewing gold mine discovered in 1990 by prospector “Midas” Mark Creasey wasn’t able to go into production for over a year while various “elders” and “archeologists” scoured the ground looking for artefacts.
Their results went on display at Leinster Community Hall. It looked like someone has tossed a shovelful of gravel on a table. Crusty old miners falling about laughing, and Bronzewing fired up, producing 250,000 ounces of gold in its first year.
Visit Wollies sometimes, never used the QR thing, if necessary I will pay cash at the checkout, but more likely will preference IGS/ALDI or Coles
Traditionally, wharves and docks jobs ran in families.
It can be dangerous work, shift work is involved, so it’s a shit job that fucks your health.
Intergenerational knowledge isn’t to be sneered at.

Batch release assessment of COVID-19 vaccines – TGAhttps://www.tga.gov.au › batch-release-assessment-covi…
To ensure these standards are maintained, the TGA will conduct a batch release assessment process for every batch of vaccine supplied in Australia.
Would like to know what Cats think of this release from the TGA. I have always worried about possibility of Vaccine adverse reactions coming from “different batches” as Robert Malone remarked without explanation.
This testing announcement is from this month. Is the TGA becoming sensitive about the growing concern about the variation in reactions?
The American Army found, during World War Two, that working parties of their soldiers could move cargo at FOUR TIMES the rate of the “wharfies.” Intergenerational knowledge, my hairy aunt.
They were great survivors for all those years
As were all our ancestors, otherwise we wouldn’t be here.
I find this line of racial pride illogical.
They were great survivors for all those years and I want to preserve the few remnants that showed that “they were here”.
They did well: they exterminated the Mega Fauna, the greatest man-made animal extinction, burnt the place so bad they changed the flora from rainforest to semi-arid gum fire-bombs and exterminated the 2 groups of peoples who were here before them. Fuck ’em.
Sure.
Malone is a vax apologist, his latest spin is
The issue is:
Vaccines are tested over many years, this one wasn’t and the testing was blown up anyway.
Any number of things could mean the vax is contraindicated for a person, but the experts aren’t going there.
Didn’t the sacred artifacts of Juukan Gorge amount to a girdle, plaited from human hair, a few bones and sharpened sticks?
Perhaps, but Cranes, Winches and Lifting Gear should last a long time.
Letting “working parties of American troops” use the gear is a certain way to ensure the gear is fucked before the next shift.
Wow , military and aboriginal Tourette’s at the same time. I think that could be first.
The Rones has gone completely spastic with military Tourette’s over the past few days.
What I find illogical and repugnant, are the claims that people who have never been on my land. Never mixed their sweat and blood with its dust, somehow have more of a “connection” with it, than I.
I have an appreciation for history, but people are not “special” – either specially good or evil, wise or foolish – just because they are now dead. Surviving might be creditable, but some folk did far more than survive.
JC’s “Ronery” – whoever that is – Tourettes has begun – it’s all downhill from here for the old crepsecule.
To Beertruk and Miss Anthropist from upthread:
You seem to have some connection with Oakey. Does it go back a ways? I ask because my (then) closest friend, whom I had known from school days, was killed in an air crash out there. His name was Lynn Hummerston. Did you know (of) him??
The Rones (“whoever that is”).
Who could the Rones possibly be. Who is it? I’m dumb. … founded as to who it could be.
Rones do you know?
Who is this Rones? It’s impossible to figure out. I don’t know.
Rones can you help all of us work it out?
Yes. I’ve just been reading the official account of the defense of Ambon by the 2/21st Btn. I could subtitle it “How to Eat a Shit Sandwich Really Really Well”. It’s a fascinating account given the whole thing was politically necessary but militarily inane. I propose letting the 2/21st guys meet the wharfies in combat in Valhalla. It would be a fun encounter to watch, if somewhat brief.

Spot on, Cassie.
The Labor Party got a lot of Diggers killed to make some Political Point, is that what happened?
The whole “our land” is bullshit to me.
You happen to be standing on a piece of extruded mantle floating around on the surface of a planet.
We are all stardust.
Ed – No. Ambon had to be defended because of US voters and the UK-Dutch-Aussie alliance thing. So the 2/21st was sent with little equipment and ammunition. A RAAF Sqn of Hudsons was based there. Which was quite useless against carrier Zeroes. The 2/21st had no artillery, no AT, no AA and little transport. The 2/21st btn commander kicked up such a righteous stink that he was replaced just before the Japanese landed. His replacement Maj. Scott, a 1st AIF guy (who volunteered knowing exactly what he was in for), ate the sandwich with excellent form. The Dutch forces were twice as large as they were, but bugged out after a very short time. The Aussies did bloody well, and the political requirement was bloodily met.
I was especially sad that Sgt. L E Martin, captured at Ambon, died as a POW on 5 Aug 1945 one day before Hiroshima. And his colleague Sgt. H L Smith died as a POW two weeks earlier on 21 July 1945. Shit happens, and sometimes in life you are called upon to eat a sandwich of it.

I watched the beginning of Bert Newton’s funeral today. Is the acknowledgement of traditional owners a regular thing at church services now? I must admit, I was quite taken aback by it.
The Dutch Army in the Netherlands East Indies was largely recruited from among the local population – their officers and N.C.O.’s didn’t trust said recruits not to sell them out to the Japanese at the first opportunity.

There’s a post on The Burning Platform blog that refers to an article from The Expose ‘…that makes an explosive claim: There is a wildly statistically-significant skew in the death rate from Covid-19 vaccines by lot number…[Moderna] There are 547 unique lot entries that have one or more deaths associated with them. Some of the lot numbers are in the wrong format or missing, as you can also see. That’s not unusual and in fact implicates the ordinary failure to get things right when people fill out the input…But there is a wild over-representation in deaths of just a few lots; in fact fewer than 50 lots account for all lots where more than 20 associated deaths accumulated and out of the 547 unique entries fewer than 100 account for all those with more than 10 deaths…
How about Pfizer? Pfizer has 395 unique lot numbers associated with al least one death and , again, there are a few that are obviously bogus. But again, normal distribution my ass; there is a wild over-representation with one lot, EN6201, being associated with 117 deaths and fewer than 20 associated with more than 50.’
(I still can’t link for whatever reason, so if anyone wants to read the entire post, see The Burning Platform, (title) Uh, That’s Not A Conspiracy Theory, by Karl Denninger).
I have a pair of the eponymous adidas hi-tops, which are still in active service.
There is no such thing as a hero. Just those that we vainly hope aren’t as ordinary, flawed and expedient as we might be alleged to be.
Which the former always prove to be. Hollyweird is not a concept, it’s a reality.
The Pianist has just started on SBS Movies – Jews are not allowed to enter restaurants or go into the park.
Woo-hoo! 🙂
Reading back through.
I have made both primitive stone cutting implements, and tried them out in the skinning if dog-tucker. While they “work”, they are far harder work than a decent steel knife – there is a reason why we went from the stone-age to the iron-age, instead of vice-versa – and present a bloody obvious reason why people who did the vast majority of their cooking with open fires, did not bother to skin their food..
I have a couple of ground axes which are very poor cutting implements, and a number of what can best be described as “hammer stones”. Nothing more complex than round stones roughly fist-sized which have probably been carried from a conglomerate uplift about 15 miles south of here. Average about 1/square km.
The scary thing is that some “elder” who has never in his life been on your property, can point to a spot in an open paddock, proclaim that there used to be a special tree there, and declare it a “sacred site”. How the hell do you defend against that?
Bluddee hell- the kick inside of me! 😕
Cite you the notorious “Yackabindi Station” land rights claim, where the “guardian of the sacred sites” lived hundreds of kilometers away in suburban Perth, and had never set foot on the property in their lives.
Zulu – What is apparent in this account (Singapore-Ambon-Timor) is just how easy it would’ve been for the Japanese to go one small step further and take Darwin. Whereupon they could’ve established a perimeter and kept the place for years. There was one battalion defending Darwin, and not much in the way of air support. If the Japanese had gotten the strategic idea of taking the place as a blocking location they would’ve succeeded brilliantly. I think the sheer guts of the 8th Div guys helped give the Japanese the idea, wrongly, that it wasn’t worth it.
No.
The feet were skinned, the tendons exposed and tied around the legs to keep the heat and the juices from escaping.
Making flint knives requires great skill and hand speed, there’s film of aborigines demonstrating that skill.
Bit of a stretch there. I mean they elected Biden but c’mon man! By repute, they can’t point out Australia on a map much less Ambon.
Sacred sites are being gutted all over. The Champion Hotel at the corner of Brunswick and Gertrude streets is now a post office.
Zatara – I should’ve said the US MSM, not the US voters.
If we’d cravenly capitulated and bugged out the US MSM would’ve had reams of reports and opinion pieces about the unreliable cowardly Australians, which the US voters would then’ve read. But since the 2/21st btn guys fought a bloody last stand without support or possibility of retreat the US MSM wrote nothing. Thus Australian political requirements were completed. And MacArthur arrived in Brisbane to reconquer the planet. Well done 2/21st guys.
Phwooooaaaaarrrr … ! 🙂
And very likely knew nothing. The satcom antennas were a bit touchy back in the 40s.
Rabz – That after what I’ve been commenting about requires this track. She’s a babe.

The Americans entered the war and occupied Australia in response to Pearl Harbor.
Sending Aussie Diggers to Ambon to be slaughtered was a decision of the Curtin Labor Party Government.
Curtin was the Daniel Andrews of his day.
As I said the replacement btn commander knew exactly what he was going into. He was a GHQ staffer who volunteered. Fortunately he survived the war.
Comms were so bad. So much defensive capability was lost in Malaya and SE Asia because the Japanese cut battlefield telephone lines with bombing and infiltration tactics. The defense of Tobruk was successful because of the 25 pounder guys, but that was only because the artillery spotters could communicate with the artillery batteries. Over and over in the jungle warfare the communications were cut, so the artillery didn’t know where to fire. Of course in Ambon there was no artillery, but comm line failure still prevented platoons and companies from coordinating and supporting each other. It would be fascinating to know what modern coms could do to such situations. Much worse for the attacker I suspect.
Bluddee hell – my second link for poor ol’ Mole didnae work, so now it’s time for some Classic Kate. 🙂
The Americans occupied Australia solely to use as a base to drive North to recapture the Philippine Islands, after the shambles that military genius, Douglas MacArthur, had made of their defence…
Hi JC
Is Military Tourettes contagious in your opinion?
An edgy version …
BoN, forgive me for being obtuse.
Blame the Americans for not making a big deal of 2/21’s fight?
I suggest that one, they didn’t have any reporters there, because they were likely in Bilabid prison by then.. Two, even if they were there they had no way to get the story out asmorse code required a sending unit and an antenna, the smartphones with cameras were 3-4 generation later.
On can be as inflamed as they like about the battle, but suggesting that the American media and by extension the American public, didn’t care lacks logic.
Zulu – I’ve been reading how the Japanese went through four divisions like poo through a goose to take Singapore. Breathtaking stuff. The 8th Div did the best but they were roadkill in the end like the Indian divisions all were. Shows what veteran troops and carefully honed tactics can do. For example the Japanese didn’t bother with artillery much – just had masses of company level mortars, which fits the jungle battlefield so much better. I have to say on what I read about Malaya and Singapore that the defense of Corregidor, without air cover and in the face of total naval supremacy, seems pretty damned good. I haven’t read about that campaign though.
And what about the Wobbly Boot in Bogga?
Zatara – The whole idea is not to have coverage of fleeing cowardly Aussies, and not to have coverage of Australia abandoning loyal defenseless allies to the heinous Japs.
Media silence is a fine thing. We know that much more these days than back then, but the UK and Australia in 1941 were exquisitely aware of what would and would not go into US newspapers. To catch a friendly gorilla one needs to have a lot of tasty treats for him, but no sour ones.
there are usually tell-tales of human presence, eradicate them before anyone sees them.
BoN
I’m confused. Are you suggesting that the American press ignored the action or that they trash talked the ozzers?
MacArthur began that campaign under the belief that the Japanese would not attack until April 1942, and that, using Gallipoli as an example, any Japanese invasion of the Philippines was bound to fail. Several hours after Pearl Harbor, the majority of his Air Force was wiped out, on the ground. It went downhill, from there.
Gentlemen are discussing matters military, Grogarly. Shut the door on your way out, will you?
What island were you deployed to, Rones? You told us one time that you were “deployed” to a pacific island and I think you mentioned how dangerous it was and that you were prepared to give your life for the country even in the middle newlyweds on their honeymoon. The dudes here that have also fought hot wars were hugely impressed with your courage and humility.
Very much so. The Newcastle chief scientist appears to have caught a bout.
probably about right.
property that was yielding about 4.5% is now yielding about 2.5% with all the property price increases. If rba rates rise 2-3%, that would mean rents would need to roughly double to maintain 2.5% above the risk free rate.
something is going to break.
New Jersey state senator-elect Edward Durr recounted an ironic conversation he had with his longtime predecessor – and state Senate President – Steve Sweeney after he conceded the race to the Republican commercial truck driver.
Durr, in an appearance on “Tucker Carlson Tonight” Thursday, said Sweeney was “a gentleman” in his congratulatory call a day earlier, which followed his public concession.
“He congratulated me and just wished me luck, [told me] to do well for South Jersey,” Durr said.
“I told him, you know, if he ever needs anything, just give me a call, because I’m his representative now,” Durr, who is reported to have spent only $153 on his primary campaign, responded.
All on track, so far. JC will disappear up his own rectum, in about half an hour or so, still raving on about “Rones”, whoever that is, and wondering why no one believes his stories about fifteen years on Wall Street. All on track.
Trailer Excitement:
Borrowed mates tandem trailer, two lathes on board and a workbench. About 30 minutes into the trip has some horrible shimmies that came and went without warning. Did I load it wrong?!
Pulled into servo to check load and see if I could work out the problem. That wheel looks to be in an odd position?! Left hand rear spring bolt and half the bracket is MIA and the end off the spring wedged up the side of the trailer. Called RACV, bloke called me back, got me to send photos and told him I needed a 1/2” high tensile bolt about 2” long.
While I waited for him I jacked up the trailer and started wrestling things back to where the should be. Young RACV bloke turns up, had hunted for a bolt at their workshop but couldn’t find anything big enough. Think you’re going to need to be towed. Seeing what I was trying to do with a ratchet strap to pull the spring back into place he relocates his Ute to the other side so I can use it to pull from. With more ratcheting the spring pops back into the bracket. I lower the jack slightly and everything is now lined up, we’re just missing a 1/2” bolt. Then I remember that the tool post bolt on one of the lathes is 1/2”. While I extract that I get him to rummage through boxes of tooling in the back of the Ute to see if he can find a 1/2” nut. I get the bolt and he finds a 1/2” nut on a waldown toolpost grinder.
We put the bolt in and he gets his rattle gun to run the nut up hard on the end of the thread. The whole mess fixed in about 30 minutes in the rain. RACV bloke is in his second year of Mech Eng at RMIT.
Good job RACV!

Wage rates are constrained in Oz.
I had this discussion with a friend this very evening. He thinks it’s inflation, whereas I think we’re seeing a change in relative prices brought on by a very material supply shock. The central banks, unlike the first decade of the century need to be very very careful because the majorly fucked up big time then. They tightened policy and almost caused a depression. They tightened on the mistaken belief that the rise in commodity prices was inflationary whereas we were experiencing a material, unexpected increase in demand from the economic advancement in the developing world.
Here’s the thing though, if the markets really believed that we were entering a period of high inflation , bond prices wouldn’t be where they are now.
I think we have seen the peek in bond prices, but the lows are possibly 40 years away.

Dishonest bullshit.

2. The correct idea that many people – elderly, comorbid, simply died with (at worst, of) and not from COVID.
3. Questioning authority is somehow a conspiracy theory.
The “best” lies are half truths.
The above sort of article is the worst kind of propaganda. It tells the truth about whackos and conflates it with reasonable dissent.

2. You did or didn’t receive 600K as a special dividend.

Here’s the thing, you dishonest imbecile. You could take the bet and if you were honest about having received that dividend amount, you would at the very least breakeven. But as everyone knows, not taking the bet means, you’re a dishonest, big noting, disgusting cuckold.
And please stop it with the chest thumping. It doesn’t impress anyone, you dickhead.

Regarding the loss of Singapore and Malaysia, the Empire lost them decades before the Japanese ever set foot in them.
They lost it to the reality that nobody in a universe away wanted to spend any real money or effort there as they were broke after WW-I. So they devised a war plan based on rushing a non-existent fleet to a naval base in Singapore which was never equipped or supplied to support it. They put ancient 15 inch guns removed from dreadnoughts in people’s back yards. All to shake a big stick at the Japanese who saw the paper dragon for what it was.
When the inevitable happened, the powers that be focused on defending that non-existant naval base to support the fleet that would never come…. and got totally reamed by reality.

Inflation is here to stay. Expect roughly 10% inflation per year for the next 3 years…
Also, to track real inflation, all you need to do is track the average price of gold and the average price of housing. They are almost the same.
You will find that over the last 20 years, both the price of gold and the price of the average property has increased by around 400%.
Always remember, inflation is not the price of everything increasing, it is the value of your currency going down due to printing of money.
I believe you, but why is that inflation? Spikes in real estate aren’t part of the CPI. In fact, spikes in real estate could be considered dis-inflationary as people need to devote more resources toward one purchase vs others.
We do not have monetization of debt.
The RBA allows the market to set the price for debt. It doesn’t simply stuff bonds on their balance sheet without firstly allowing the market to set the price. This is so freaking important.
Also, the only way this can become hyper inflation is if the markets believed the central banks wouldn’t stop quantitative easing.
Lockdowns and pandemics are horrific. Chinese bioweapons escaping from the lab are horrific.
