I’d like to say that most people believe this, but in my experience, the opposite is true. Speaking of clinging to lies, whatever happened to the QAnon folks around here? Anne and Gunner? Gunner was good value but he was too invested in the psy-op to let go. Anne was a pisser. Very creative imagination.
Tragically, it appears to have been suicide by jumping off a building.
Because I’m on holidays and a little more relaxed than usual, I turned on the Victorian ABC TV news for the first time in months. After the main part of the news they had a “special report” from Israel about conscientious objectors from IDF national service having to spend time in jail.
“Oh”, methinks. “Perhaps a story about ultra-orthodox people refusing to serve on religious grounds?”
Nup. Because it’s the ABC they do a story on a young Israeli woman jailed because she refuses to do national service because of Israel’s treatment of the Palestinians.
Every story at the ABC has to fit a pro-Palestine narrative.

Craig Thomson, best known for coming undone for shenanigans whilst trying to gain public office and also for spending tens of thousands from his union credit card on hookers, has not only has a domestic violence order taken out by his now-ex wife, but spent the night in the bin after breaching it by sending her a barrage of abusive and threatening texts.
He’s also on the hook for a $2 million migration fraud he thought of and undertook.
But hey, it’s not as though he rooted a chick in the 80s who then made up a different version of events decades later when she was completely Radio Rental and before she necked herself.

My quote of the day in a video clip played by Sky Outsiders.
US conservative Matt Walsh asks a leftard trans activist who’s obviously a bloke: “What is a woman?”
Fruitcake: “It’s not up to me to say.”
This is where you end up if you keep deconstructing the life you lead – at the bottom of a rabbit hole of voluntarily self-inflicted mental illness.
This idea that reality is whatever you think it is has been around for decades. It’s just recently that it has progressed from being an interesting idea to full fledged madness. A man is a woman. Plural is singular. The destruction of language, the means to reason, is in full swing now.
I had this argument with a friend at a dinner party over 40 years ago.
“Reality is whatever you think it is”, he asserted.
“We can easily test that assertion,” I said.
I suggested he walk out onto the street, stand in the middle of the road and assert that an oncoming truck is a feather.
“Don’t be mad,” he said. “Exactly,” was my response.
The recognition of reality as independent of consciousness is fundamental to an individual’s life and existence.
As someone unthread said, “if gender is a social construct why is surgery necessary to change it?”
Reality is such a bitch!!!
You can almost hear the narrative changing.
Destruction of thousands of jobs and likewise the fruits of a life’s work of thousands of extended families will be… because people changed their behaviour. (i.e. democracy in action)
Shutdowns/lockdowns – and thus Premiers/CHOs – will turn out to be totally & completely innocent.

No shit. It’s a big fucking yawn. Also, in my opinion a lot of the games are basically random wins/losses. A game is scored as 1:0 big freaking deal. You need more scoring to figure out which team won without a random score. It’s homosexual.
As for not knowing the teams. I know how Ajax is, I was kidding around. My favorite team is Lazio and it’s because of the fans. The fans wanted a ban on females sitting in the front rows of their home games because they suggested it’s a ‘sacred place” where only men should be seated. I like their joie de vivre…. their spirit. They caused a real stir.

I had moules frites the other day.
I felt awkward eating them with a mussel shell like they do in St Malo so used a fork.
Then someone else ordered them and didn’t just pull the mussel out with another shell they used the shell as a drinking vessel for the creamy soup.
At least I sopped some of that up with the beautiful bread.
Might have to go back and have that lunch again.

There was a netflix special called “Steak”. It tried to figure out the best steak in the world. This Corsican dude won. I wanted to ferry over from Sardinia to try it out but in the end, it was summer and just couldn’t be fucked. I can’t recall the name but the docu should still be on Netflix.
As an aside.
The Doco host was talking to the owner of a Paris steak house. He said that even though his doctor had told him to go easy on the fatty meat, he was devouring a huge steak every day at his restaurant. His workers were mumbling how they wanted him to stop as he suffered from heart problems.
At the end, the credits acknowledged his passing away.

WHO Admits That Smallpox Vaccine Created AIDS/HIV
And
WHO Murdered Africa
by William Campbell Douglas, M.D.
I owned a house in Neutral Bay. Possibly the shitiest street in the burb.
JC,
It was a rather seedy area not that long ago.
Now Military Road is like a parking lot.
The Oaks isn’t worth going to these days.
Zyco.
That article – the first you linked to, as I haven’t stopped giggling enough to look at the other one – doesn’t say the WHO caused AIDS by vaccinating people for smallpox.
It says an unnamed ‘advisor’ thinks it might, because lots of Africans were vaccinated for smallpox and lots of Africans got AIDS.
The doctor who identified bum flu in the US thinks the advisor’s viewpoint is an unproven hypothesis. The WHO did not actually ‘admit’ to anything, in that piece at least.
The article concludes with the opinions of a bevy of charity organisations, who recently participated in a ‘meeting of 50 experts’, in Geneva (and how do you reckon the charities paid for that?) and who concluded that they need more money.
Honkity honk honk. rsrrsrss-worthy.

Don’t know how to do the link, but google this one. It’s good for a laugh.

You know, Australian real estate – particularly Sydney ( upper North Shore and the Eastern burbs) have had a compound return (without rent being included) of around 8% if the house I had in Neutral Bay is a good indicator, which I’m sure it is. 8% is the best long term return in the western world.

I used to take aspiring actresses to the Oaks to meet John Mellion.
They would think I was big time in the business. Dummies.
The things one had to do for a tan boot.
But it really was throbbing Friday to Sunday.
Far enough away from my then day job too.
Wouldn’t go there now. The patrons are painful.
JC,
Those are around the times I’m talking about.
Knew a few guys who inherited the family home.
Instant millionaires.
My little place at Brontë went up much more than 8% pa.
Aspiring Australian actresses are good value, I reckon. It doesn’t appear like the director has to fight hard to get them to get their gear off.
They’re ok for bragging rights.
Some are really nice people.
Some.
Earlier last year, we did that Bondi to Bronte walk along the coast line. Sydney really is beautiful.
Didn’t they name one of the bars there, in his honor?
The 8% I was referring to was over about 37 years. That kind of compound return is pretty decent over that long period of time.
I used to run it.
Crowded now.
The Surf Clubs, the Icebergs.
They were good times.

The other recent Fox News hire, Laura Ingraham, is worse. I can’t take in her show any more without turning the sound down.
Today Ingraham interrupted and talked over one of America’s best thinkers, Victor Davis Hanson.
Ingraham is worse than a Karen. She’s a loudmouth knowall. She might as well be talking to herself on CNN.
