From my perspective, Communism is demonic. That doesn’t excuse its practitioners from moral culpability, but it does explain where their…
Communists can be pragmatists because the end always justifies the means..They could never have seized power if they were not…
There are some Israeli accounts on X saying Israel and Hamas were close to an agreed ceasefire but Hamas’ demand…

Cassie, if you are about- What is the nastiest Hebrew putdown you know (That you feel comfortable putting up) that can be universally applied to our littlest anklebiter here?
You too Head Prefect is the RBA owned by the Australian taxpayer?
Show the evidence & don’t forget you are the site financial guru.
Reprehensible.
It’s really just some internecine fighting that flares up to the odd truck v train war. Keep the safety off and your finger on the scroll wheel. As my mother used to say, “If your don’t want your word salad just push it to the edge of your plate.”
The RBA reports to the Australian government but is not owned by it Casey, research a bit more.
Bern. I misunderstood. I thought you were talking about Indian enlistment in the Australian army. That’s why I was puzzled, although it might have made sense considering how thinly Australia and England were stretched in SE Asia.
I knew about Indian involvement in both wars, and was always interested in Joanna Lumley’s efforts to have the Gurkhas recognised by GB.
True.
We did inadvertently spill over onto the Italian Front this morning. That was funny.
#Bing-a!Bong-a!
Sounds cool.
When is the lynchin’ ?
Is this a tumbril job?

What’s McGowan going to do when the punters want to start going overseas?
The punters already want to start going overseas.
They just gotta resign themselves to staying grounded, seeing as the punters are not mixing in sport, film or politics I suppose.
Why bother, anklebiter?
Between your august self and Bird,we have all the ‘expertise’ on the matter we will ever need.
(Seriously, Dribbler. You populate a blog with Struth and Faulty, and recently welcomed srr. Surely you had the wisdom to see that only being lightly tarred with the Nuff-Nuff brush was bad enough. Whatever possessed you to try and drown your face in the bucket?)
I live here and agree with you. There seems to be three levels, the dregs, top and bottom 5%. The APS who at work are mostly useless but out of work are really great and are over payed by about 75%. then the Tradies that overcharge the useless others by 50% coz the APS and the dregs doesn’t know how much anything costs or is worth.
Awww. Google translate gave you something milquetoast to try and disappoint me with, anklebiter.
So cute.
Please try harder. Actual Spanish-speakers will make your ears melt…
Ted
It’s owned by whomever you want it to be owned by. Is it your brother and father, lex?
Don’ty know if many of you like a flutter but a friend of mine owns/trains doggies and one is going around tonight ……
Richmond greyhounds .. race 6 .. No.4 .. Key Bob .. they fancy it’s chances ……
Ted
Do you like lychees?
Russel Coit’s adventures have one thing in common with The Project.
It is such brain dead crap that watching an entire episode is impossible
If the protagonist is unable to back a trailer, then it’s Russel Quoit’s Bullshit Adventures.
If they can back a trailer, then it’s an episode of Troy Dan’s Outback Adventures.
Whoopsie, anklebiter!
You challenged me to this:
So I did.
You then tried to greaseweasel with this:
I think you need to go do a Grigory, and write me up a 5,000, word thesis on the difference between ‘owns’ and ‘runs.’
No references to Furniture Store nuffiness or Protocols will be entertained.
Happy researching…
Lizzie, if you’re still lurking. I don’t think rosie needs too much championing. 😀
I find that most people have selective memories. I watched your trip closely because I was about to make one of my own. And the weird avalanche of criticism that followed.
Both struth and stix have maintained the same stance pretty much from the beginning. A quick look at the now truncated SincCat on Trove will yield a few of their posts from Feb and March ‘20 to support this.
I don’t much care to be called an hysteric or a collaborator or a coward or the cause of all the troubles in this country. If that is the view of some, so be it.
Let’s just say up until a week ago, I would have been grateful for a (modified) ‘45 haircut, so unruly was my crowning glory.
Ted works at the furniture factory?
Really?
Do you mean Bernardi?
Ooops, yes thats the one.
Being taken in and used like a $5 prostatot at a Parrot beak convention before seeing Bernardi set the whole group on fire rather than hand it on was what set him off I think.
Head prick & Casey jones, do you remember Peter Costello a number of years ago asking the RBA to not move rates?
Do you think as treasurer he asked or told them what to do?
I ask the people on this site to do the research, don’t believe what these 2 numpties say, look for yourself.
Go utube & watch The Money Masters, you will see how much you are being shafted.
DYOR.
I see Runnybird’s firing up.
Must have a couple of Dark and Stormys under the belt.
Hey knob dragger, how are you?
Ted
I’ll only watch it if you answer those two questions.
1. Do you like lychees
2. Are you a registered employee at the furniture factory.
And …on personal condemnations.
No one has called me “worse than Julia Gillard” again. Or a Bolshevik.
So there’s that.
A bit rich for the ABC to be reporting htis, given that it has no standards:
https://www.abc.net.au/news/2021-12-31/bbc-to-investigate-alan-dershowitz-interview/100733038
The ABC is hyperventilating that the Maxwell verdict raises questions for her friend Prince ANdrew. Indeed it does, but what about the Clintons and their mates in the US’s left-liberal plutocracy?
I never understood that.
It wasn’t like PHON.
It wasn’t Cory Bernardi’s Strayan Conservatives.
Why not just walk and let someone else have a go?
But, really?
A self-proclaimed Special Forces hard nut being toppled over by that?
That is worrying for potential voters in and of itself.
Ted.
Who “owns” the ADF?
Who “owns” any government enterprise/department?
Is it … The People?
Watch what? A clip?
Dunno. Is it professionally presented and edited? Is there an appropriate range of sinister music at relevant junctures?
If you want some vicarious Outback experiences Mrs Ol’ Leathery is your gal. After all you’ve paid for it.
Her biased parochial misinformation miniseries on the National Party was about as bad as anything their ABC has ever trotted out.
Bakrhodes is okay, until it goes to your town, or somewhere nearby, or somewhere you know well, & you see a district you don’t recognise & are incensed at the misrepresentation & shallowness of the episode.
Ah right.
The Money Masters.
All rights reserved, 2008, Crazy Bird Fillems Inc.
Is this like one of those “esteemed medicos” videos?
Some very earnest guy with a lot of heavyweight books on the shelf behind him joining invisible dots?
Listen up.
The RBA being affiliated with a few international bodies does not imply ownership by them.
Ted how do you pronounce lychees?
Is it lie chee, or lee chee?
Head Prick, I like pina colada & getting caught in the rain, I haven’t got the store address anymore although I did visit moons ago.
Now tell me you have watched money masters.
Don’t give me Casey’s view, he is too busy playing trainsets.
I can’t say anymore without identifying people. I heard another staff member say “they don’t seem to know our middle name is War”. A few old digger’s used to come in to help. One of them was moving the centurion tank around. Dribbling banshee says you cat drive that no H&S training. Ol Digger replies, I had no trouble driving it around Vietnam. It was his old tank. I have to admit I had a tear in my eye seeing the smile on this guys face remembering his youth. Funny thing was he’s not much older than me. I was lucky.
A self-proclaimed Special Forces hard nut being toppled over by that?
Speculating here…
Bosi ran 100% at the project for a couple of years.
Bernardi pulled the plug and walked away into a cushy position with Sky while everyone else got screwed.
Thats the sort of thing which could set a person off on a pretty shitty path.
Which appears to have happened.
(unless he was always a loose unit..)
Custard would be better informed on the whole implosion if you want details.
There has been a few problems with BBC interviews in the past.
One explanation for Bernardi folding the AC tent rather than passing the baton might be that he had put the most likely baton recipient under the microscope and saw things that we saw emerge a little later.
Biggles, your dumbness is amazing, how on earth you pilot an A340 astounds me.
Rog,
the missus bought 10x two-paks and has been talking them up for a week as the new toilet-paper.
I’m thinking of putting a spoof ad up on eBay just to see how high I can get the bid
I visited the Furniture Store but I didn’t inhale.
Bosi has always had a hair-trigger for flipping the switch to full-on speaker’s corner orange-crate rants about peddlefile coverups that are going on all around you.
Those who watch their ABC’s “Q&A” may recall an episode quite some years ago when he was in the studio audience & was (I kid you not) allowed to ask one of the questions.
… he wasn’t wrong per se with his question, but boyo boyo boy did he ramp it up to Mach-1, go off the rails, and deflect from the actual topic.
Even I would have thought twice about letting him back into a studio again.
Been giving some thought about this. How does Jizzlane get done for procuring underage girls when no one has been done for doing underage girls?
Wise.
The smell of sweaty vinyl is overpowering.
GreyRanga; I was meaning, please, more information on what was done to G-George.
(names need not necessary, just the mechanics/electrics & implications of same, please)
To be honest, my impression is that Jizz Lane devoted most of her efforts to procuring children for Epstein.
Whether she was actively engaged in directly procuring them for others, who knows?
It seems (although this could be Stanflix spin) that Epstein organised the “other events” involving third parties.
It is probable that Jizz Lane has a hand in that (so to speak).
If the vinyls are butchered humanely and their hides are cured correctly then the odour is negligible.
Don’t bad mouth vinyl farming.
Being in the Q & A audience should disqualify you for running for public office. Being on the panel should be a capital offence.
Who is running this country?
Ranga.
The case against Jizz Lane turned on the procurement of children for Epstein.
Given he died before trial, it is not surprising she was convicted without a primary abuse conviction.
Runnybumsays:
December 31, 2021 at 5:03 pm
Head prick & Casey jones, do you remember Peter Costello a number of years ago asking the RBA to not move rates?
Do you think as treasurer he asked or told them what to do?
Didn’t the RBA defy convention by raising interest rates shortly before the 2007 election?
I don’t imagine Costello “told” them to do that, given that the Coalition were running as the “low interest rate” option.
Bosi would not have been on Their ABC’s radar at the time (it was quite some years ago).
Vetting procedures for studio audiences would have been comprehensively reviewed after his infiltration.
They’d have on the spot marked him as “Never to be interviewed, never to be readmitted to ABC property”
Sanchez
Perhaps I haven’t kept up, but the only accusation I’ve seen against someone other than Epstein was from the Queen’s Land bullshit artist accusing princess Andrew.
It’s curious.
Considering how stage managed Q&A is, to get into the audience would make one wary.
Then being able to ask a question?
Sounds manufactured.
Just don’t tell you know who that.
They go all Warren when it’s raised.
(Warren from Something About Mary).
Being in the Q & A audience should disqualify you for running for public office. Being on the panel should be a capital offence.
And being the host should be punishable by being stripped naked, tied to the towbar of a ute, dragged at high speed along a stretch of bitumen, covered in salt and left for the scavengers.
I didn’t ever watch Q&A.
What did the Great Man say from the cheap seats?
“Cassie, if you are about- What is the nastiest Hebrew putdown you know (That you feel comfortable putting up) that can be universally applied to our littlest anklebiter here?”
Amelekite. The Amalekites are the eternal enemies of us Jews. Since Egypt, they’ve tried everything to try and destroy us….they’ve persecuted us physically, religiously and culturally. They’ve failed.
Timothy N, the point I am trying to put across is the government has no say in RBA decisions.
Sheeesh.
Excellent and accurate comment – I think Greta looks somewhat anorexic
They were so hopeless they thought having paintings instead of artifacts was better coz those artifacts were used to kill people.
Some years ago now the local warbird folks at Toowoomba had an Avon Sabre done up as Bud Mahurin’s Korean War F-86 and parked it over by the highway just inside the airport. Got a visit from two peacenil women from USQ who complained that it had been used to kill people and was terrible. It got moved but I’d have said ” not people, communists. Good, eh?”
Who wasn’t called in the Jizz Lane trial.
Sure, there will be other perps out there, but which ones will be clapped in irons?
“Didn’t the RBA defy convention by raising interest rates shortly before the 2007 election?”
They did.
I don’t imagine Costello “told” them to do that, given that the Coalition were running as the “low interest rate” option.
Quite so.
Cassie, why you constantly dig at me I don’t know.
After watching the news over the last couple of days, the kids pestered me to see the newest (and second best) tourist attraction in Canberra.
I agreed. So off we went to see the newly scorched doors of Old Parliament House.
Tent embassy still there. I’d have thought that clearing that shit away would’ve been the first move towards preventing a third occurrence.
She’s allergic to morons, maybe?
Biggles, you should be well fucked then.
I can understand the anklebiter’s petty jealousy.
Beautiful vistas, decent aircon (mostly), generally decent room to move about in and hauling tonnages fit to make even Western Star’s finest* lay down and drown themselves in their AdBlue-laden inadequacy…
The video is from NSW, but a train driver’s life is pretty good.
* Western Star make gorgeous and very popular trucks. Certainly around where I grew up in NSW…
What about over-fuelling aircraft at Sydney, Melbourne and Adelaide until it gets up to speed?
Domestic only.
Tankering in can definitely be done for domestic. The main point would have been the embarrassment to the Bat Eared Mong that he didn’t have complete control.
Very good. 🙂
Anklebiting Amelekite…
Headline at The Australian:
Then goes on to mention a domino effect which will leave certain celebs dreading a knock on the door from the FBI. And the supporting pic is, of course, of Epstein and Maxwell buddying up to Don and Melania.
I’m thinking of taking a sub with The Australian, just so I can rant at them and cancel it again.
State who owns it now you pathetic weasel.

I hope you don’t get too tired walking the 5kms to your garden gate & I hope the helicopter ride to your penthouse isn’t too boring.
I still wish your husband all the very best too.

My New Year’s Gift to all Cats and some Kittehs – when in Forbes, visit the McFeeter’s Motor Museum, where you can see over fifty different restored vintage and veteran cars of all types, including rare European makes plus old faves you will recall from childhood. It’s bloody marvellous in a special purpose-built huge barn of a museum.
Areff, drive that new old Merc of yours up there, stay in The Anglesey Colonial Boutique Hotel (go for the apartment, it is stunning with a private courtyard) and talk to Mine Host, something of a mover and shaker in the Central West on various Committees, a National Party elder, who is now a Quadrant fan.
Western Star make gorgeous and very popular trucks
They are great for custom jobs.
Rumor has it they are so booked up with work they have, or very shortly will close out on any pre 2024 orders.
They also jacked up prices 20% a few months back citing increased steel & parts prices.
Simples. You’re a leftard troll visible from 1000 yards.
😀
Speaking of tankers I’ve been reading history wikis this arvo, and I liked this one:

Tom, I am no leftard…i am very conservative, please show me in my comments where I have shown leftard leanings? Or is it because you are following the site herd?
Grey Ranga:
You’re joking, GR, I hope?
If true, that would be one of the biggest acts of bastardry I’ve heard of.
Central banks own the RBA.
The RBA is a central bank.
Okay, who are the shareholders? Who does the dividend go to?
Come on Tom, where are my leftard leanings?
You made the claim, now produce the evidence….
You can’t because you lied.
I normally appreciate your toons, but now I know you are deceitful & you lied about me.
The RBA is a legislated entity and pays divs to the government or the treasury to be eggsact.
Dot, you really don’t know the international central banking system works?
I think the profit the banks make is given back to the taxpayer…ask JC & Casey.
Bwahhaaaaaahhhaa

Again I will ask people on this blog to watch money masters on you tube, just watch how these bankers create money out of thin air.
DYOR.
The French interests in Turkey went beyond Gallipoli, they were in a state of war with Turkey from 1918 to 1920 in Anatolia.
I just did *the research* please be more grateful.
The alternative to “making money out of thin air!” is Islamic “finance”.
Banks held reserve ratios around 40% before central banking. They weren’t 100% asset backed.
Knock it off with the HotCopper dumbness, “DYOR!!!1”.
The tent embassy is ground zero of the Aboriginal worship cult. It has been there for decades and there is no way on earth a Federal copper or member of government would have the balls to move them on. They would need principles for that.
That’s why the craven Feds stood by and allowed them to conduct their “smoking ceremony”.
I ask you to get a proper education and be intellectually honest.
Head Prefect, have you watched ‘Money Masters’ yet? Or are you srill gobbing on?
I know you are just a greedy fucker, but are you willing to tell the average punter the truth about the creation of fiat currency?
Elizabeth (Lizzie) Beare, I’m glad you are enjoying the many interesting and amazing sights in outback Australia. We were lucky enough to spend 10 years travelling this beautiful country. No boutique hotels, but our large, fully equipped caravan was with us always, in the middle of suburbia, or in the middle of nowhere.
I particularly loved visiting the towns and regions I’d learned about in school history and geography classes – when such things still existed- or places dear to our early authors. And the rivers: the Lacklan, Campaspe, Murray, Clarence (my favourite) and Murrumbidgee. History come to life.
We spent a week or so in Forbes, as we did in many of the towns along the Newell. If you’re still in the area, call into the Parkes observatory, the setting for that great Aussie movie, The Dish. In fact, call into the visitors’ centres of all the towns you travel through. You’ll be surprised what you find.
Happy travels.

Children hospitalised with Omicron in near record numbers in the United States, and most are unvaccinated (Sky News, 31 Dec)
Reeks like a five day old corpse.
Accommodation in Forbes varies from boutique at one pricepoint to basic motels or even hotels at lower rates. Something for everyone. Two country Chinese restaurants and a pub where they serve lunch and in the evening 6-8.30pm ‘tea’ not ‘dinner’. Very old style. Fantastic to see. The streets of Forbes through which they hauled Ben Hall’s bullet-riddled body were empty during our stay, the town had no tourists in, the locals were so friendly. Those famed streets once bustled with over 45,000 in population during the heady days of the gold rush. Like Richard Mahoney though, the canny Welsh Mayor who built the Forbes town hall and the place we stayed in made his money as a trader, in this case of fine quality European prestige goods, which he imported to sell to the neewly gold-rich.
Ben Hall’s story varies according to who is telling the tale. The locals held a Kangaroo Court to try him not long ago and found him innocent (he was never tried). The best known song is here. And here is one about the men of the Lachlan, men like Ben. Ben and his mate Gilbert carved their names in a bench outside a slab hut where they were visiting a girl; you can see a remnant of the bench with the carved names in the museum. Up close and personal with the lads.
Dot, you are a lawyer, so nobody expects the truth from you, so best you STFU.

Fiat money can be 100% backed. The gold standard can have less than 100% reserve ratios.
Fiat money is the problem, not reserve ratios less than 100%.
Poverty was very quickly eliminated in the west post the US Civil War, Crimean War and Eureka stockade.
The monetary system was the gold standard and otherwise free banking with capital asset ratios in the USA of around 40%.
The Laughlan River, dammit.
I dunno why this exercises the pea-brains so much.
Right or wrong, the decision making is independent of politics. It says so on the can. Why does this suddenly generate more “International Conspiracies” (ie thinly veiled anti-Semitism).
FMD.
It’s like asking why the AG doesn’t interfere in High Court decisions and direct verdicts.
Hipster hair (those artisanal chin pubes) and couture is pretty silly too, punks didn’t age too well and yuppies are starting to look like the progenitors of influencer culture. At least people seemed like they were out for a good time in the past, not so much these days. Joie de vivre has gone out of fashion, hope it comes back in time for another round before I die.
I am telling you the facts. Shut the fuck up and take your medicine.
I have told you the legal reference regarding the status of the RBA. I am telling you how the banking system worked in the West before central banking.
You are arrogant and have been fed mountains of bullshit and misinformation.
I am telling you the truth, you can verify what I say with your own research.
Swallow your pride and you might learn something.

No, I haven’t watched it as you didn’t answer the first question about lychees to any reasonable satisfaction.

Wow they named that low in Coral Sea, BOM will name anything these days.
US JTWC have dropped all warnings and have it transitioning to an sub tropical low within 24h.
Be interesting to see CIMSS next pass, they still have it as an Invest as of 0430UTC (1430h EST).
Any surfers will be happy in a few days up on the North NSW Coast or Gold/Sunshine Coast of Queensland. Likely to throw off some swell as the bulk of the weather is sheared off to the SE of the LLCC.
Sanchez, there’s little I can do other than ask him about lychees. I’ve warned Ted before that this shit always leads to one site only and that’s Jewwatch as well as The Learned Elders.

Speaking of which my reading this arvo was of the movie Patton, which I found Coppola wrote (amazing guy). That led me to daughter Sofia, who is a fine director as well. Interestingly Nick Cage is a nephew of Frank, and there’re several other talented people in that family. Anyway, Sofia gets me to the Virgin Suicides, which in turn gets me to the soundtrack by Air:

Woo hoo, the flounce is gettin’ shorter.
Narcissists can’t last long without attention, good or bad.
My GP is pretty sane, never wore a mask during consults and accepted my refusal of a jab without comment. But, like most of them, she works in a group and corporate practice where the rules are laid down from the top.
The days of the sole practitioner are numbered, and this is the result. We have government funded (via Medicare) GPs in company owned practices whose managers take the path of least resistance.
My grab ‘n’ go clinic has had a huge stickers saying ‘Heroes Work Here’ across the front windows for more than a year. Some heroes – they closed down personal consults for many months, and now, as a leper, I cannot defile their premises. It doesn’t matter in my case – just script renewals which can be done by phone – but if I needed a face to face consult I would be in trouble. My doc reassured me that she would find a way to see me if it was needed, but so much for the ‘caring professions’ as a whole.

Below is just the latest in over ten years worth of endless biting at her constant bone:
I don’t have to put up with this bitter female’s constant insult and harping at everything I say and do here, her axe always ready and falling irregularly on the most innocuous comments. Talk about Damocles. Why would anyone stay to put up with that? I prefer to be absent, and drop in only as a corrective to point out excessive mob bullying of someone else. Real and consistent bullying is a genuine nasty but too many just nervously let it pass. Or commend it.
Gidday Lizzie.

Sadly, only a few minnows will be prosecuted I reckon.
Ahem, BoN – save it for a new “mystery thread”, which might be just about open to the public …
NOTICE TO ALL COMMENTATORS:
I have just caught up with the day’s efforts and I must inform you:
Most of your accounts have been hacked – probably by your teenaged grandchildren.
In future, please leave your devices secure so this doesn’t happen again.
Ooh, shiny!
It’s on!
Opened the Ko- ken socket set in front of 9y.o. daughter.
Was hoping for some inkling of interest.
Nothing.
Not a glimmer.
And she’s just finished beating me at chess.
I’ve raised one of them white collar intellectuals, gorndammit.
The beautiful French war cemetery at Cape Helles with several large tombs over mass graves was a savage reminder of their Gallipoli role to this particular Australian.
My great uncle died in the attack at Achi Baba Nullah in July 1915. His Territorial regiment persisted in trying to reach a trench that wasn’t there and got caught between the Turkish fire and the French artillery barrage supporting their attack. Complete carnage.
Not helped by the bits of shiny biscuit tin attached to their packs which lit them up as easy targets when they were ordered back to their lines.

Is that a threat?
Western Star make gorgeous and very popular trucks
They also make butter
Heroes are self appointed?
Hmmm…I may be busy this weekend!
‘Flouncing’ has nothing whatsoever to do with anything.
This is further bullying, pure and simple.
Call it for what it is.
Sorry, Rabs darling, but it is not.
I won’t stay here to tolerate this insanity.
Well, shit…

It is absolutely amazing how many here have no idea of how money is created from thin air.
Ever hear of Big Fun, rabz?
They had that hit a few years ago, Teenage Suicide (Don’t Do It).
We had an assembly at school about it at the time.
How’s Hairy, Lizzie?
Time has both dragged on and flashed by since the beginning of 2020, Lizzie! It’s more than 2 years since we enjoyed that lovely afternoon at yours in Sydney. That was the last time we went anywhere outside Prison Vic.
Hopeful for an end to the insanity in 2022!
What’s amazing is you have been utterly beclowned on the matter and won’t STFU.
Nah, Lizzie.
Rabz meant his new show.
Where you need to play nice about his (admittedly quite nice, albeit acquired for this pipes-amd-drums, Synthwavist and symphonic metalhead) taste in music… 🙂
“Woo hoo, the flounce is gettin’ shorter.
Narcissists can’t last long without attention, good or bad.”
Johanna, why can’t you be nice? It isn’t hard. And as for narcissism, you’re not lacking in it either. Nobody is here but honestly your perpetual nastiness and bitchiness towards Lizzie is adolescent and belongs in a school yard.
“Time has both dragged on and flashed by since the beginning of 2020, Lizzie! It’s more than 2 years since we enjoyed that lovely afternoon at yours in Sydney. That was the last time we went anywhere outside Prison Vic.”
May we all get together again soon.
Rabz has a new show? Who knew? I deliberately don’t keep up much here now. And I certainly don’t want a bun fight with Johanna. I am sick to death of her, and may note btw that most bullies like her are total narcissists covering their insecurities by attacking others while preening themselves. I’m too busy to be here anyway and I did promise Hairy. Anyone who has read my piece in Quadrant would know that I promised to ‘obey’. 🙂
Good luck with your thread project, Rabz, whatever it is.
Read some history….
lol. Snap, Cassie. See you soon at ours for a drink I hope, and Happy New Year.
Deft putdown, Lizzie.
It’s not just me, a lotta blokes here are concerned for Hairy’s welfare, can you give us some indication of how he’s holding up?
Cassie, amazing that you talk about nastiness yet you & your sycophants are constantly nasty toward me.
Better you learn a bit of self reflection?
the artist probably worked from a photograph
Fuck off, Grigory.
At the rate it’s going, it’s certainly isn’t going to be the new SNL … 🙁
So basically despite the evidence shoved in his face, a weeping arsehole declares because “Shakespeare called you a cunt in 1597”, that he’s right about his ludicrous lizard people Khazaria theory about banks.
JC might be right about mentally weak people always end up blaming Jews.
And this morning, like David Starkey I learnt of the existence of Twixtmas, that twilight zone between Christmas and New Year
Because you are intentionally provocative and invidious, you offensive, ignorant imbecile.
Poor little Amalek anklebiter.
Still here, long after mere honour and oblogation would prompt you to hang about.
Are you planning to stay here and antagonise the Cat until Struth has finished crying into his blanky?
Or is your glass-jawed ego now so shattered that you are compelled to stay and feebly swipe at us until the rest of your act is shattered too?
Dammit, where’s Bird? A smiting hat-trick at midnight would be a glorious way to ring in 2022 on the Cat…
No joke Winston. That idiot Director who was all about “look at me” put them in place. He was always chasing money which was a good thing but had no idea. Little Johnny gave him the old Post Office Mail centre across the road from the technology centre. Totally unsuitable and a waste of money. That sucked up even more money.
Kind of like a long, dark teatime of the soul?
I’ve been totally charmed by Starkey’s opening my eyes to Twixtmas. The history lesson of John Evan’s in the chancery at Coldridge was an added bonus.
Thanks, Cassie.
I like this word, and will seek to use it more often.
Kol Hakavod. 🙂
French Colonial Troops at Gallipoli, think Senegalese.
India in WW2 was an interesting case.
Hitler and Nazism were quite popular in India [and remain so].
The Indian National Army was several million strong, if they’d gone over to the Axis that mighta been decisive.
So the British raised a native Army to counter the INA.
That’s it.
dear Lizzie, I like you but you do tend to swoop in on the broomstick shrieking , “egregious, egregious!”
try to act normal
and Lizzie, watch you’re own mouth
who wants to play punch for punch on new years eve?
do you?
Looking forward to that possibility keeps the excess stupid, visible everywhere I look, manageable. Just.

Starkey was sublime in his total kiboshing of the absurdity of Edward V hiding away in rural Devon .
Dropping in here and finding Lizzie back is a little pleasure, like being the kid who gets the toy from the cereal packet.
Uh-huh.
Several million my fluffy, troll-spanking arse.
43,000 tops, you shitwit. Reformed twice, and squandered by the Japanese.
And nothing to do with the actual Indian Army regiments raised in either World War.
The Indian cavalry regiments raiaed for WW1 ended up serving alongsode the Australian and New Zealand Light Horse regiments, British Yeomanry and French cavalry in the Desert Column. They were well-regarded by the Allies for their discipline, fierceness in combat and their ‘harpoon-like’ lances, being one of the few lance-armed mounted formations amongst the rifle and sword-armed UK and Dominion troops.
Also-
Bullshit, as better folks than you have researched.
From the linked article:
“Finally, two thirds of the French Expeditionary Force were composed of colonial soldiers, though two thirds were also white. While two regiments were specially raised for the campaign from metropolitan France, many of the other soldiers came from elite European colonial regiments or white settlers from Algeria and Tunisia.”
So much for your bullshit about Senegalese, Grigory, for whom “it proved impossible to use native North African soldiers (though they later went to Macedonia) because they would be fighting against fellow Muslims and possibly occupying the holy sites of the Middle East.”
Fuck off and go put another layer of dubbin on Mother. And don’t come crying back here later because you are scared of the fireworks.
Begone.
FFS Ed, is there any sewer of ignorance and pig shit stupidity that cant be both deepened and made thicker by your contributions..
This is the turd you are alluding to.

Snap, mole!
Come on genius posters like dot & casey, please explain how the banks create money.
All you can do is insult me …pointless.
Settle, KD. This old woman deeply resents any comparison with hysterical types like him.
If only.
Sure enough, just like when she informs her adoring audience that she is (wait for it) going to bed, there are further comments.
You couldn’t make this stuff up, except at The Bee or Tatania McGrath.

You’re joking, GR, I hope?
If true, that would be one of the biggest acts of bastardry I’ve heard of.
No joke Winston. That idiot Director who was all about “look at me” put them in place.
Was that the Black Prince? He had a high opinion of himself.
PS, do you know an ex-RAAFie who worked on some aircraft restorations. UH 1 man, first name Dennis?
Nehru and Gandhi backed the INA?
Now wonder the British were jittery.
Righto, Amelekite…
Grigs bombing out harder tonight than he did last night with the Hilton bombing.
Indian politics must be his blind spot…
Hitler and Nazism were quite popular in India [and remain so].
Bit over 20 years ago, I was doing some work where bales of jute from India were being processed.
In one bale was a broken-off bit of the processing machinery (India) – it had the German swastika / symbols. Machinery must have been pre-war.
Angwy wex, instead òf insults explain the creation of money in the modern monetary system.
GO!!

The Indian National Army was several million strong, if they’d gone over to the Axis that mighta been decisive.

Your Google-fu has truly deserted you.
The British Indian Army dated back to the East India Company. The Indian National Army was raised by Subhas Chandra Bose during WW II. It was never very strong, certainly not “several million”. It operated alongside the Japanese (Axis members, FYI) in Burma, but was generally ineffective. Some Indian soldiers captured in Singapore joined the INA, but most remained “true to their salt”.
Learn to Google properly, or fvck off fvckwit.
They don’t, anklebiter.
Money is a universally agreed-on commodity of exchange. You can add or take away tokens or scrip, thus diluting or strengthening the value of said commodity.
But short of a majority of nations and businesses refusing to recognise a currency or instituting or obliterating it and refusing its trade, it is neither created nor destroyed.
You are as cartoonish as the fictional (patsy) Communist terrorists in Tom Clancy’s Raonbow Six, who kidnapped a rich German banker and demanded he provide them the codes with his fellows controlled the world economy.
Your magical thinking is even more magical than Bird’s, and he has the excuse of being legitimately mad…
Nah.
The Swastika is an ancient Sanskrit symbol.
Cassie said a while ago that there’s a few inlaid in the wall at an old Sydney building, perhaps the Customs House?
Dick ‘Ed is certainly keen on demonstrating his ignorance tonight!
Or it was legitimately Indian, or Indian-maintained.
The swastika is an old Hindu symbol for luck and longevity. Symbolically significant to the point old Mughal-era fortresses were often laid out in its shape.
I have at my (hobby) railway, a locomotive constructed by the German firm Henschel in 1938. And I have the drawings for it and its later Societé Franco-Belge cousins also.
Not a single swastika on the Builder’s Plates…
“Bit over 20 years ago, I was doing some work where bales of jute from India were being processed.

The Hindu Swastika is still common. It’s used by Brahmin Indians.
