a rant from serial liar and terminal narcissist Lizzie

Disgusting, as I said, and one good reason why I do not want to continue here much. As Cassie says, the big narcissist is Johanna. Nor have I ever lied on this site; that is Johanna’s very confected fantasy from when she was deliberately trying to doxx me re my first husband, some years ago. As she says, she will never let up, because fixated people are like that. Very bad news.

Even today Johanna couldn’t resist her little fantasy of me, this time on me as a 13 year old!
Ye gods and little fishes: she has a screw loose there for sure. Showing her true colours now.
She’s so proud of her idiocy and her thirteen dickless uptick disciples of it are particular fools.

Auld Lang Syne can only last for one day here for me and it’s been nice to drop in to see friends.
Witch-Finder General Flounce-Count Queen of Queanbeyan wants it all her own way, always.
I have always left because my husband has taken a very dim view of her attacks on me here. He still does. Any decent and sane man would.

Pathetic and bitter woman.

Adoration of the Magi, Bartolomé Esteban Murillo, 1655

That’s a nice painting, love the colours though I don’t think that the Magi had any dusky gentlemen in their midst.

The Magi were the upper-house in the Parthian parliament, they were the king-makers as they appointed the kings of the Parthian Empire (the lower house was called the House of the Royals as the King appointed its members.) They only appointed Kings who were descendants of David, hence their interest in the birth of the Messiah, who was a descendant of David through both his mother’s and foster-father’s different lineages.

The Parthians were the last defenders of Samaria who were defeated by the Assyrians and exiled to Persia around 800 BC. Their clan names indicate that they were largely made up of the Tribe of Ephraim though their kingdom included various other people who were also exiled to Persia by the Assyrians, including some of the tribes of Esau, hence the ancient province called Germania (and Carmania) which was also found in the Parthian dominated Persia.

The symbol of Ephraim was a bull-calf, an “Aegel”, hence they became known in their later westward migrations as the Angles.

Yea Brucie, the entirety of US policy (everything) directed towards the Indian Pacific and controlling China hinges on Modi’s decision to use or not to use Iver M. The use of Iver M is so, so much more important to Americans than reining in the Chinese. That makes so much sense now it’s been cleared up for us in such a no nonsense scientific way.

Why do you feel the need to mock “me” for occasional posts from MSM News about the continuing Global Child Sex Slave Trade.

You could just keep your mouth shut and stop trying to bully others into not taking in the information in such news.

Oh, and remember recently when JC bullshitted that I was fat blah, blah, so all the rest of you bullshitters took it as gospel and repeated it as fact?

That was just one of countless ‘reasons’/excuses mobsters like you use to justify mocking “me”.
Not for anything I’d ever said or done, just to kick off another fresh round of lies designed to diminish those you feel the need to silence.

Remember one of the Epstein “victims” was over 18 at the time and claimed she was groomed.

What, was she retarded? Why is she allowed to launch legal action, shouldn’t her tutor do that?

I will mock this woman until the end of time because I do not consider her a victim at all. The article is written with a deceptive chronology, I shall chop and change it for you to see through the lies.

The witness was the second woman to take the witness stand against Maxwell in federal court in Manhattan. But unlike the first, she was at the age of consent in Great Britain and the United States during her sexual contact with Epstein, so the judge barred her from detailing specific sex acts.

It is not stated or not if any sexual acts occurred in the UK when she was under 18 anyway…

Maxwell also told her that Epstein was “demanding” when it came to sexual massages, saying it was “very difficult to keep up” with his needs, the witness said. After agreeing to give him massages in London, she was later flown on commercial flights to Florida, where she said the interactions continued when she was 18.

???

Why was she even testifying?

Asked about wanting to testify anonymously, she said, “I have a huge amount of humiliation and shame around the events that took place” and wanted to protect her child from knowing details.

She doesn’t want her kid to know she’s a grifter.

The woman — testifying at Maxwell’s sex-abuse trial in New York Cityusing the pseudonym “Kate” to protect her privacy — described one episode during the mid-1990s at Epstein’s Palm Beach, Florida estate where Maxwell left out a schoolgirl’s outfit with a pleated skirt for her to wear for the financier.

“I thought it would be fun for you to take Jeffrey his tea in this outfit,” the witness recalled Maxwell telling her.

After a sexual encounter that followed, the British socialite “asked me if I had fun” and told her, “You are such a good girl,” she said.

She was 18 when this happened!

NEW YORK (AP) — A British woman testified Monday that Ghislaine Maxwell pressured her into giving Jeffrey Epstein sexual massages when she was still a teenager, assuring her she would have “fun” with him.

She was 18 when this happened!

There are a lot of actual victims of Epstein well under the age of consent, this woman can get bent.

Some random new year’s day observations:

Southwark – the only six pack of beer I have ever purchased that was completely undrinkable. Lasted two mouthfulls on the first stubbie ( the second which of which was violently ejected into a handy kitchen sink) and then opened a second, labouring under the delusion that the first may have been spoiled. No, as the taste buds angrily confirmed at the first sip. Result, all dumped into the bin and another trip to the bottlo.

Does anyone here seriously think that poor ol’ Arks has banned himself? If he’s taken my advice this morning about attempting to re-enact (in an avant garde manner), this country’s response to the bat flu from Feb 2020 on, that might explain his temporary absence.

Like you JC I don’t trust Palmer however I’ve met Craig numerous times……at CPAC and IPA functions.
I can attest to the fact that he’s a very nice and engaging man. Kelly once represented all that was good about the Liberal party….in a previous life he’d worked in small business and he was your perfect suburban MP. He made the electorate of Hughes a safe Liberal seat (something it always hasn’t been).

Kelly believes in traditional Liberal values…..now I’m not really sure what Palmer believes in however I don’t blame Kelly for going with Palmer. Palmer has the dosh…….lots of dosh.

Dr. Robert Malone Bombshell: After Meeting With Biden, India’s Modi Covered Up Uttar Pradesh’s Miracle Covid Treatment

How would Malone know what was communicated between the two of them? This is straight out conspiracy nonsense. It is already widely known India was using Ivermectin. Old news. Malone says it was done in coordination with WHO and he stated “rumoured” to include ivermectin. He also states there were a number of agents used. Since when did the WHO approve ivermectin?

I’m in favour of ivermectin but this type of reporting is so dishonest because it doesn’t even reflect what Malone said.

India build’s F 16 under licence and it is buying the much superior Rafale. It could buy Typhoons but turned down the offer. It even has a home grown fighter, the Tejas. The idea that its defense policy is contingent on keeping quite about ivermectin is just plain nuts.

Random comment about Netflix.
Over the past few months I’ve watched some French, Russian & more than a few Korean shows (maybe the algorithm is pretty good in that regard contrary to what I’ve previously said).
You watch any of these shows & the story is key.
And even the frog ones, a character might be black or North African, but it’s not mentioned or part of the story.
The Russians are Russian.
The Koreans are Koreans.
Compare that to so much of what is mass produced from the US, UK & Australia.
Everything is based on the racial, sexual identity of the characters, which means shit story & shit shows.

John H, I trust you with science. Do you know of any medical science based study that shows Iver M to be useful. I’ve read :

1. Iver M was used in Peru and had zero impact.
2. It may work, like at the very beginning of the illness, otherwise the med finds the headwind too strong.
3. It’s basically useless but why not continue using it just in case as it’s safe anyway.

You know the old C.S. Lewis quote:

“Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron’s cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.”

Even if Clive turns out to be “the robber baron”, I’ll take that, because all the other options obviously sit in the ‘omnipotent moral busybody’ camp.

It now a decision of the least worst option. Give Clive whatever slakes his thirst, and let us have our freedoms back. Whatever the financial cost, it’s likely to be cheaper than what we’ve just gone through.

Taliban order beheading of shop mannequins
Anchal Vohra, Beirut

MARCO DI LAURO/GETTY IMAGES

The Taliban have ordered a series of mannequin beheadings, telling clothes shops to remove the heads of dummies that offend Islam.

The instructions were given by the Ministry for the Propagation of Virtue and the Prevention of Vice in the western Afghan province of Herat.

Aziz Rahman, the head of the local department of the ministry, described the mannequins as “statues” and claimed that they were being worshipped, which is prohibited under Islam.

Despite shopkeepers’ pleas that they needed their dummies, Rahman said he “ordered that they [the mannequins] should have their heads removed” and warned there would be severe punishment if they violated the ruling.

Local businesses, already struggling in the floundering economy, criticised the Taliban’s decision. “We use the mannequins to display clothes,” said Aziz Ahmad Haidar, a garment seller. Mehran Azizi, a resident of Herat, added that mannequins were used to display clothes in all countries, “including Islamic countries”.

The virtue and vice ministry is the state agency in charge of implementing the Taliban’s interpretation of Islamic law and was reinstated soon after they seized power in Kabul. It was responsible for the particularly harsh treatment of women and was ironically brought back in place of the Ministry for Women’s Affairs.

The ministry, which has said that it will continue to amputate thieves’ limbs, has already resumed public hangings and displayed several headless corpses of hastily convicted kidnappers in market squares.

He was on his knees to Al Gore when he was in parliament. It was a disgusting sight, Big Fat Clive on his knees blowing Gore.

The interesting thing about that “event” JC, was that Fat Cloive managed to get Al Bore out here to make some bizzarre announcement about climate change (yeah I know, who’da thunk it) followed by Cloive making some even more bizarre pronouncements to the assembled chooks, before Al staggered off to his lear jet with a very bemused look on his face (and no doubt thinking “who was that fat imbecile and why did he pay me a million big ones to come here?”) …

Even more bizarre was watching the j’ismists trying to explain the entire farce that evening.

Having said that, no one does political theatre like Big Fat Cloive.

If the Parthians are Hebrews of the tribe of Ephraim, then they are not the Macdeonian-derived Seleucids (one of the descendants groups from Alexander the Great’s squabbling generals) who conquered, and then attempted (and utterly failed) to Hellenise Israel before the coming of the Romans. They then morphed under Roman power into what became the Hasmonean dynasty, of which Herod was a member.

Despite the hype here, UAP is behind the 8-ball.
At the end of the day, Craig Kelly isn’t in my electorate, and if they put up a complete idiot in my electorate, I won’t be voting for him/her/ze because Craig.

I’ve just finished touring a great portion of NSW and UAP has an advertising presence around the rural electorates like I’ve rarely seen before. It focuses on keeping the lights on (anti-renewables) and pro-freedoms. They are going to be a player in the next election. They are cutting through. In my opinion, after two years of this, splintering the vote is unwise (depending on preferences).

You could say that the lethality of the disease also matches the mutations of Covid to a more transmissible but benign form.
You could also put forward a case that the exposure of the population to the virus, as shown in the UK antibody tests, leaves the general public less susceptible to acute sickness.

The Parthians also conquered Palestine and held it for a couple of years before the Romans reinstalled Herod in 37BC.

That’s right, Herod was an Idumenean, an Edomite (descendant of Esau) who went to Rome (also Edomite) for help to retake his throne.

That’s why there was another Roman – Parthian stand-off at the Euphrates, the border between the Roman and Parthian Empires, in 1 BC. Herod was outraged that the Parthians entered Jerusalem and asked him for directions to see the King of the Jews, a title which he held.

Herod considered it an insult deserving another Roman-Parthian war which didn’t eventuate as the leaders of the Roman and Parthian armies met on a neutral island in the Euphrates and agreed to forget the matter.

Was there ever a time when you were either supportive (or at least ambivalent) about renewables? If you didn’t support Renewables when you were 15, you didn’t have a heart. If you still support them at 30, you haven’t got a brain.

I’ve tried to relocate it, but can’t.
But didn’t some government ponce say that 70% of Covid ICU cases were unvaccinated?
Well, assuming that’s the case, let’s assume (with no real evidence) that every one of those Covid patients is in ICU because of covid, rather than just with covid.
As of today, we have 135 people in ICU with covid (government figures).
So 70% is about 95.
Let’s now take the figure for “unvaccinated” which woyld give the maximum possible projected number of ICU patients for a totally unvaxxed Australia.
According to government figures, 94.4% of Australians over 16 years of age have had at least one dose of covid vaxx.
So let’s just say, for absolute assurance we’re not overcounting, that 5.6% of Australians over 16 are “unvaxxed”. (The percentage would presumably be higher if we included under 16’s, since the Slaughter of the Innocents hasn’t yet been fully rolled out.)
Doing the simple maths, if the whole of Australia were unvaxxed, we’d expect less than 1800 ICU covid patients.
And we’re destroying people’s lives over that?
Yes, the vaxx-worshippers will claim “oh but unvaxxed are super-spreaders”, but as best I understand it the world wide data simply doesn’t support that. And even if unvaxxed spread the virus twice as much as vaxxed (which I ‘m not aware anyone in the world is claiming) we’d be talking about 3600 covid ICU patients Australia wide.
Maybe I’m missing something, but prima facie it looks like there’s no justification for any covid related restriction or mandate whatsoever.

Having said that, no one does political theatre like Big Fat Cloive.

That’s true, he knows how to feed the chooks. Wasn’t he, in a previous life, the media manager for Russ Hinze? He was famous for holding media conferences which he called “feeding the chooks”.

Clive Palmer voted with Tony Abbott to kill the Carbon Tax for which he earns a point. However, he voted with the ALP to retain the RET and all this renewable energy rubbish, for which he lost one point. Now he wants Australia to go nuclear WRT electricity generation which will quieten the greenies obsessed with CO2 emissions, but which is not as cheap as coal, but it will provide reliable energy which we won’t get with the more expensive and unreliable windmills.

I’m going to vote UAP as I’m voting for Craig Kelly whom I trust, I’m undecided about Clive but I have full confidence in Craig.

A lot of fine particulates which would normally be considered benign will explode with the right air mix in a confined space and a relatively minor ignition source.

Indeed.
The problem with legume dust is it has a tendency to stick/cake up on surfaces and when that surface is the exhaust system it will sort of half cook off and stick to the steel. It then builds a few layers which, if conditions are right, will flake off as an ember and be blown by the engine fan usually igniting a fire on the LHS of the machine or in the paddock.
There was and still is a belief that static charge and sparking is responsible, this has been shown to not be the case.

Big conniptions in the insurance industry after a bad run of harvester fires back in 2016. A code of practice etc was recommended and endorsed by insurance industry and peak farming and research bodies.

Australia to be sent 2 Tonnes of radioactive Uranium and Plutonium from England.
It’s the second such shitment, 2 Tonnes of waste have already been returned from France.

Oooh yeah thought being a high roller of the LNP meant his white shoes got him what he wished, he bought QNI off BHP with the tailings dams near at capacity. His solution was to dump said tailings in lots into Halifax Bay and expected Campbell Newman to rubber stamp. I know the greenies up in NQ were already gearing up a campaign with max emotion but Newman also wasn’t that stupid. He said no.

I remember it well, Palmer promptly resigned from the LNP and exploded like a volcano. He has raged against the machine since and I can tell you he has spoilt more LNP races than ALP in Queensland. As much as I like Craig Kelly I am very wary of Clive and his agenda. That said he has been very coherent in his arguments to COVID and if he destabilised equal ALP seats as well as LNP more credence to him, just his track records is not good in that regard.

One of Australia’s best jockeys

Racenet

William Pike was forced to forgo his ride in the Perth Cup on New Year’s Day due to Covid protocols and Western Australia’s leading rider has admitted the requirement to be double vaccinated could result in his premature retirement.

Pike has spoken publicly for the first time on his vaccination status in an interview with Freedom Media WA.

In the lengthy interview, Pike said there was uncertainty going forward given participants will be required to be double vaccinated come February 5, with those protocols having been enforced for the Perth Cup card at Ascot on New Year’s Day

“My future is very uncertain right now. I really don’t know what my future’s going to be like,” Pike said.

“I would love to keep riding. I would love to stay on top for as long as I can until one of the young guns come along and boot me off my perch.

“I really don’t want to leave it, but under the circumstances right now with the rules and different things in place, it’s getting harder and harder to go out and do my daily job.”

Pike has stayed quiet over the past month about his vaccination status as rumours circled.

He said he was disappointed that media had already run stories on his situation.

“The mainstream media has a way of twisting words and leading up to this, I didn’t want to comment, I wanted to make sure I had my story straight and they (the media) went and posted things anyway and I thought that was a bit out of line.

“I wanted my story and my reasons told factually.

“I didn’t want to get a headline out there that makes some guy in an office get a smug smile on his face.”

Pike also expanded on why he was yet to be vaccinated.

“I suppose at one point they were touting a digital passport just so you can get into restaurants and whatnot. It‘s how the future’s going to be they say. Well I don’t see how that can be acceptable. You want to go to a restaurant and have a nice meal, why should you have to worry about giving out all your details?”

“For me as an athlete as well, health implications definitely have a play in it. The vaccines came around really quickly, how did it get here so quick? I just had questions and it doesn’t feel like we’ve had the time to digest it and take it all on board in an intelligent way.”

Rex,
It’s something to do with an “acid” type of exudation on the leaves (talking chickpeas here as they are the biggest offender).
When the crop matures and drys off this stuff turns to a fine powder which causes all the drama. The machines are literally operating in a cloud of highly volatile dust, I have a few videos of night work where it’s impossible to see any sign of the 45′ front, thank goodness for auto steer.
A good 10mm shower of rain just prior to harvest will wash this powder off and things are a lot less stressful.

I have previously given you the benefit of the doubt as being somewhat eccentric. Your reference to prickly pear indicates you are of unsound mind.

There are three things you do with prickly pear. The first before hand, or after the second or third if it can’t be burned in place. 1) Rip it out with a loader/ /telehandler/ tractor/ ute or the like. 2) Drench it in a 1:75 Garlon/ diesel. 3) Drench in 0.5:100 Grazon/ water solution.

Peloton Interactive, Inc. operates at-home fitness platform for live and on-demand indoor cycling classes. The company pioneered connected, technology-enabled fitness, and the streaming of immersive, instructor-led boutique classes for its Members.

There’s an updated version of Sex In The City that come out on HBO. In the first episode, Mr. Big (Chris Noth) has a heart attack and dies while using a Peleton stationary bike. The show never told the company that’s what was going to happen. The stock crashed.
Peleton tried to make PR-led recovery and had Chris Noth feature in an ad for them. Immediately after , the sex accusations began to surface about Noth and they had to pull the ad. How’s that for a year.

That’s some serious critical thinking right there, Ed. Read up on the marginal productivity theory and then ask why labor rates haven’t remained at the same levels seen during the industrial revolution.
