Don’t forget that premiers (squinting at Andrews particularly here) are quite happy to mandate a booster regardless of need or benefit. At this point, having been rendered unemployed by the mandates, I’m not going to bother with Novavax particularly when I’d probably need to get another shot in 3 months to keep working. Far simpler and easier to just drop out of society and coast.
Wrong their there. Forgive me, English is only my first language.
Grace Tame and Brittany Higgins front up at the National Press Club today.
How on earth does Brittany or her lawyers think it’s OK to do this with a trial imminent?
You could be forgiven for thinking a fair trial isn’t on her agenda.
No, and that’s not what ‘anyone’ said either.
I do recall people taking the piss out of random screechers claiming that vaccines were chockers with tiny robots made in Inscrutable Dry Cleaner Land, and for the purpose of tracking and tracing everyone. Nobody, and I mean nobody, mentioned ‘fine tuning’ anything.
Ignoring the machinations of mobile phone technology which allows tracking in any event, said screechers produced links to other randoms such as MICHAELDET? and @spacebunny which didn’t further the screechers’ cause, but did allow them to change direction while maintaining volume.
No no no. Only the ‘stunning and brave’ pursued it.
Freedom has no greater friend than the EU parliament. Just ask Nigel Farage. Or better still, watch a few YouTubes.
All our current bishops here are novus ordites and just want to climb the clerical ladder and keep getting their taxpayer dollars from the government. Don’t expect any of them to stand up and stand out against societal atrocities. Sadly, our bishops are of the world and readily comply with the world rather than the actual Word. In the not too distant future, we can expect our bishops to agree that breaking the confessional seal is no biggie.
They ought to be sent white feathers in the mail.
Never did. Never voted LNP since.
They get my vote back when I get my guns back. Not before.
Thanks Struth for the link to How COVID Shots Suppress Your Immune System
On a slight segue. Reading it made me think of the truth behind several comments here, that Australian society has been deliberately dumbed down. I got lost several times in the detail and medical terminology. Instead of re-reading and focussing, I just looked for the summary. I’ll bet I’m not the only one whose eyes glaze over when faced with difficult text. Journos included.
I’ve been indoctrinated well. Must do better.

“Stop apologising to these lunatics, Trump tells Joe Rogan
By HUGH TOMLINSON
Donald Trump has urged Joe Rogan to “stop apologising” about his Spotify podcast, as the commentator considers a $US100 million offer to move to a rival conservative platform linked to the former president.
Rogan, 54, is facing a public backlash for spreading misinformation about Covid-19, prompting a series of artists to pull their music from Spotify. He spent last weekend apologising for racist slurs in past episodes. He said he was “regretful and shameful” after a six-minute compilation video showing him repeatedly using the n-word and comparing a black neighbourhood to Planet of the Apes was shared on social media.
Spotify has pulled more than 100 episodes of The Joe Rogan Experience but has no plans to cancel the podcast, which draws 11 million listeners per episode.
‘Don’t let them make you look weak’
The race row prompted Trump to leap to Rogan’s defence, as the podcaster became the focus of the latest clash in America’s culture wars.
“Joe Rogan is an interesting and popular guy, but he’s got to stop apologising to the Fake News and Radical Left maniacs and lunatics,” Trump, 75, said.
“How many ways can you say you’re sorry? Joe, just go about what you do so well and don’t let them make you look weak and frightened. That’s not you and it never will be!”
The comments encouraged other conservatives to rally behind Rogan on social media, claiming he was a victim of left-wing “cancel culture”. The streaming site Rumble said that it had offered Rogan $US100 million over four years to bring his show to its platform.
Rumble has a deal with Trump and securing Rogan would bring the two most popular voices in conservative media to the site as it tries to take on YouTube. Chris Pavlovski, the Rumble chief executive, told Rogan he would face “no censorship” at the platform.
“Dear Joe, we stand with you, your guests and your legion of fans in desire for real conversation,” Pavlovski wrote. “How about you bring all your shows to Rumble, both old and new.”
Rogan, a comedian, has yet to comment on the offer. Despite the conservative effort to present him as a victim, Rogan conceded at the weekend that “whenever you’re in a situation where you have to say ‘I’m not a racist,’ you f***ed up, and I clearly have f***ed up.”
His exclusive deal with Spotify, struck in 2020, was itself worth more than $US100 million, according to reports. Rogan’s comments on vaccines and race have caused other artists to walk out and some members of the public to cancel their subscriptions.
Daniel Ek, the chief executive of the Swedish streaming platform, has promised a dollars 100 million investment in licensing and promoting music and audio content from “historically marginalised groups” but is reluctant to jettison Rogan. Ek, 38, told staff in a memo on Sunday that Rogan’s comments were “incredibly hurtful” but said he did not believe the answer lay in “silencing” the podcaster. Neil Young, who last month became the first musician to pull his work from Spotify over Rogan’s comments on Covid-19, renewed his attack on the firm yesterday (Tuesday). Young, 76, urged Spotify staff to resign and “get out of that place before it eats up your soul”.
Underscoring Trump’s power over conservative US media, Peter Thiel, the billionaire investor, plans to leave the board of Meta, the parent company of Facebook, to throw his weight behind the Republican campaign before the midterm elections in November. The Wall Street Journal reported that Thiel, 54, who in 2004 became the first outside investor in Facebook, would promote Republican candidates who supported Trump’s agenda. Allies of the former president are seeking to tighten their grip on the party, anticipating another run by Trump to retake the White House in 2024.”
The concept of not appearing in the witness box and being justifiably questioned, at length, on her own involvement, actions and demeanour would probably appeal to Brih-neee.
If there’s a permanent stay of proceedings as a result of Morrison’s clumsy hand-wringing, she will never be held accountable and also be forever able to claim victim status.
You could be forgiven for thinking a fair trial isn’t on her agenda.
I used to think Show Trials were just a Russian thing.
I am hoping that:
The longer ATAGI take to mandate the booster as mandatory, the less likely it will become, mainly because ATAGI’s peers overseas are unlikely to go down that path. Dan would then be clearly out on a limb.
HOWEVER, as you say, Dan may just go it alone because he is un petit tyran.
Hope springs eternal, but reality certainly has a nasty way of intervening in this clownfuckclustershow.
Only this one time, Bear.
Look…to me the biggest disappointment was Tony Abbott. I actually feel a lot of anger towards him.
You get the impression Brittany is listening to her media advisors not her legal advisors at this point. That may change at some point.
It’s not. What sort of gory details are likely to emerge under cross examination?
“For you are like whitewashed tombs which indeed appear beautiful outwardly, but inside are full of dead men’s bones and all uncleanness.”
Someone said that once, seems apposite.
Second biggest disappointment after Malcolm Fraser – elected in a landslide with a majority in both Houses, given a clear mandate to reverse Whitlam’s experiment in “champagne Socialism” , and seemingly too timid to exercise that mandate, for fear of what the Left would say about him.
“…what does justice look like to you?”
“Crucifixion or freedom? Crucifixion? Line on the left, on cross each. Next!”
I would have to say in Abbott’s defense that the meja made governing almost impossible for him. Like a trial run for when Trump became POTUS. Remember ‘ANOTHER Gaff!!!’. That was the poisonous little morons’ favorite word back then. Trying to make friends with people who hate you and your supporters is pretty stupid to say the least.
From The Oz….Higgins minutes ago..
“Former Liberal staffer and sexual assault survivors’ advocate Brittany Higgins has opened her National Press Club speech by powerfully describing her alleged assault in Parliament House.
“I was raped on a couch in what I thought was the safest and most secure building in Australia. In a workplace that has a police and security presence 24 hours a day, 7 days a week,” Ms Higgins said.
Who’s advising this female?
The accused will not receive a fair trial.
That’s just sinister, CL. I pity his flock.
There is no comparison. Trump fought back. Abbott didn’t.
As I’ve said before, you cannot turn the other cheek.
Old and Busted: sub judice
New Hotness: contempt
Agree there is no comparison between Abbott and Trump but the actions of the Oz meja were very similar to the conduct of the US meja 2016 onwards.
As I’ve said before, you cannot turn the other cheek.
which is a Christian doctrine that I cannot and will not accept
“who said Ms Higgins’ disclosures had unleashed a “great anger” among women in Australia.”
Shingles speaking for all women. I’m not angry.
I’ve spoken to quite a few women and they feel nothing but contempt for Higgins and Tame.
It’s been in development and testing for more than three months.
They know.
The Higgins stuff is agitprop- Alinsky would be smiling
I meant to write that Shingles doesn’t speak for all women.
“who said Ms Higgins’ disclosures had unleashed a “great anger” among women in Australia.”
Marxist identity politics
As I understand it turning the other cheek was really quite insulting. Along the lines of “you are not even worth noticing, but if you make me notice I will end you”. Giving someone a chance to admit they screwed up.
These days it’s taken as being weak, when it’s far from the case. Unfortunately most of the Christians I meet don’t appear to take it that way, instead use it as an excuse to avoid conflict.
There’s the problem. Trump half-understood what the political landscape had turned into, but Abbott was an innocent lamb in a lions’ den.
Well we know now. Trump certainly does. I really do hope he can win in 2024 just so I can see what he decides to do with this new knowledge.
I look forward to Kathy Sherriff being invited to address the National Press Gallery.
Legal Cats will know better but surely the fellow accused of the offence against Higgins would be a shoe-in for having the charges dismissed. I would have thought that his defence lawyer must be salivating at the prospect of claiming any trial is hopelessly tainted and will produce reams of documents and video to support that assertion.
How on earth could a jury be ‘impartial’.
Governments should absolutely be actively afraid of betraying their people, seizing power and declaring open war on the entire population. Otherwise what stops them doing that as they currently are? If the parliament and courts are swept away as counter-forces, what then is left to stop them but fear of retaliation by the people?
And without that fear of retaliation, why not just sweep away parliament and the courts as they have?
Outside the politely bubble I doubt most know or only vaguely know about Higgins and Tame.
Wasn’t she ignored when Labor and the Greens were asking women to come forward and tell their stories of rope and sexual abuse?
The political class has been at war with us since around 1974 but it’s been a cold war. In 2020 it became a hot war.
Don’t know about other women, but I’m angry.
I’m angry that a stupid, drunken, slutty slob slaked her thirst at my expense, hooked up with another slob and proceeded to use Parliamentary offices, paid for by me, for a tryst.
Then has the cheek to proclaim it to the rafters while being hailed as a victim.
I could tell her all about what happened to a real rape victim. It would have to be at second hand. The victim can no longer speak for herself.
The howler monkey’s will then claim that any such dismissal shows that women cannot get any justice in this country…
Ossiana Tepfenhart.
Looks like this
Not a single journalist has challenged this excuse when politicians and health officers remove their masks to speak to the media.
Everybody else is masked. The journos/stenographers. The sound guys. The cameramen.
They themselves are masked up to the point of speaking to the masses.
Never an enquiring voice asks “why?”
“As I understand it turning the other cheek was really quite insulting. Along the lines of “you are not even worth noticing, but if you make me notice I will end you”.”
Just so – a metaphorical slap to the face can be ignored. A metaphorical gun to the head should result in the exact same response as a real gun to the head – viz, once the immediate threat is removed, the same actions against those who started it, but without ever backing down. If that means pulling the trigger, so be it. If you put me in the “kill or be killed” position, don’t be surprised if I decide that my life is more important than yours.
When I think about the disgusting maliciously incompetent clown show that the Canbra is, I think the country would be better off if a big hole opened up in the ground beneath it. Wishful thinking I know.
The accused will not receive a fair trial.
If there’s a trial at all after Higgins Press Club address.
“Roped on a couch” is very specific considering the accused has denied any sexual contact took place at all. A curious defence and not that common but it does make you wonder if the man involved has a far clearer recall of the night and is backed up by surveillance.

Thanks Calli. I think you’ve said it best.
DPP Shane Drumgold is a far left Liberal hater. Before he decided to prosecute in the Higgins case, I went through his old Tweets and was genuinely shocked. Endless hate-tweets against Liberals.
How do I know this jab isn’t guaranteed to kill me in 5 years?
You don’t and neither does anyone else.
Judging by recent conversations with supposedly intelligent people, the vax causes brain damage or at least unwarranted trust in people similar to some effects of toxoplasmosis.

I’m with you. I don’t care if I start shitting gold nuggets after nonovax, I wont be getting it because of the tyrannical mandates.
Unless you’re actually opposed to euthanasia, abortion, gay ‘marriage’, these procedural measures will mean very little to you apart from providing some balm as you lose another rearguard action. These are the sort of peace terms you sue for when defeated; that these are the basis of present negotiations with our ‘friends’ in power tells you all you need to know.
Could easily apply to the hunchback.
Oh shit.

That’s device induced attention deficit disorder.
And thus, the colours are nailed to the mast.
That police and security presence is not there to protect you from your own giggly, taxpayer-funded decision-making.
A couple of things…
The phrase needs to be read in context, i.e. the Sermon on the Mount.
Jesus used hyperbole to make points; in which case a literal interpretation will be missing his true meaning.
Christianity also maintains, in continuity with the Old Testament, the right to self-defence.
A married couple was busted in New York, USA, on Tuesday for allegedly trying to launder roughly US$4.5 billion (A$6.2 billion) in cryptocurrency stolen during a massive 2016 hack, federal prosecutors said.
Ilya “Dutch” Lichtenstein, 34, and his rapper wife, Heather Morgan, 31, are accused of conspiring to wash the proceeds of 119,754 bitcoin that were looted when a hacker breached the systems of virtual currency exchange Bitfinex. As part of the (money laundering) scheme, the duo allegedly “employed numerous sophisticated laundering techniques” including setting up online accounts under bogus identities and moving the money through the darknet, prosecutors said.
Prosecutors said the pair had a bag labelled “burner phones” filled with mobile phones inside their Manhattan apartment, and that Lichtenstein, a dual Russia-US citizen, kept a file called “passport_ideas” on his computer. The Justice Department said special agents were able to recover over US$3.6 billion in bitcoin stolen during the Bitfinex hack — its largest-ever financial seizure.
Too stupid not to be caught. Who, in their right mind, pulls of one of the largest thefts in global history and continues to live in an apartment in New York. Seriously! Did they think “oh well, we just stole $4.5 billion but nobody can catch us ‘cos crypto”. To make matters worse, he is a dual Russian/American citizen. FFS. Idiots.

Pfizer Quietly Adds Language Warning That ‘Unfavorable Pre-Clinical, Clinical Or Safety Data’ May Impact Business
My understanding is that security staff are there to protect politicians and staffers from the public, not from the consequences of their own actions. And, further, that staffers have never been backwards in letting security staff know that was their role and nothing more and therefore to mind their own business.
Classy…

Another moment that gets a laugh from the audience. Higgins and Tame are asked how the Labor leader, Anthony Albanese, could do better than the prime minister. Tame says:
All Anthony would have to do is none of the things that Scott’s done.
So Albo gets a pass to keep attending rub and tug shops.

Tame: I received threatening call from member of government-funded organisation
Interesting. Tame tells the crowd:
I received a threatening phone call from a senior member of a government-funded organisation, asking for my word that I would not say anything damning about the prime minister on the evening of the next Australian of the Year Awards.
Then I heard the words, ‘with an election coming soon …’.
And it crystallised a fear – fear for himself and no one else, a fear he might lose his position or, more to the point, his power. Sound familiar to anyone? Well, it does to me.
I remember standing in the shadow of a trusted authority figure, being threatened in just the same veiled way. I remember him saying: “I will lose my job if anyone hears about that, and you would not want that, would you?”
What I wanted in that moment is the same thing I want right now, and that is an end to the darkness, an end to sexual violence, safety, equity, respect, a better future for all of us – peace, a future driven by unity and truth.
….
An optimistic reporter asked Tame if she would name the person or the organisation who was behind that threatening phone call. Tame has been very animated, very facially expressive. She clowns around with a faux-earnest look and says:
I reckon if I was willing to name either, I would have put them in the speech.
Well worth reposting, because upticking – dickless or not – is insufficient for this:
Well that apology worked a treat eh Scotty.
Ah geez.
Snap Roger.
Self-defence is not the same thing as revenge, though.
Jesus explicitly prohibits the latter.
Oh wait. First!
Unsnap!
I knew there was a Titania McGrath moment in there somewhere.

Rambler,
Greatly appreciated. Flaccid upticks are nobody’s friend.
Yes, that’s what he’s getting at in the sermon. The kingdom invites a higher ethic than simply following the law to the letter. It goes to the heart and not just external actions.

Haven’t really been, overly, interested in the GRACE TAME pile-on/pile off that has ensued since the pix with BRADBURY garnered so much media attention but was drawn to a headline in the online Mail this morning stating she was raped .. never knew that so Googled Ms. Tame only to find that the Mail definition of rape is, apparently, different to my understanding cos what I ended up with was Grace was groomed by a school teacher and he was convicted of under-age intercourse with a minor (in his care) … so when & by whom was she raped?
Seems the media now interprets criminal offences to suit their story rather than outline the facts!
More and more articles in the Oz have no comments even in the sport section .Jessica OHalloran who never writes about sport except in a political way and Will Swanton, the two most senior never have comments enabled. Most of the Justin Langer articles are similar bereft of comments.
Why its as if the narrative must be controlled.
I don’t have any reference, but she claimed that she went into the building with him because she didn’t want to wait in the taxi.

Someone at the National Press Club would have to invite Brittanny to speak, if that’s how it works.
I have no idea why Grace Tame thinks Scott Morrison is responsible for her letting a teacher shag her over a decade ago. Literally have no idea. It is Tasmanian issue. What exactly does she want? More jail time? More what? I am 51 and it was very well known when I was young that it was a serious crime for a teacher to have sex with a student. He was charged and convicted. I am literally lost with what her beef at a Federal level is?

Reiner Fuellmich is a lawyer in Germany and the United States.
He and his team (Corona Committee) have been gathering evidence against the global players behind the Covid pseudopandemic.
In this conversation, Reiner discusses
his background;
this not being a pandemic at all;
PCR fraud;
the importance of the Grand Jury;
why the legal system is captured; and
getting off the control grid and building parallel srtuctures.
I rather think most men have an instinctive distaste for male effeminacy. We also have an instinct for kindness. Which dominates depends upon the culture, leading either to poofs being tolerated or thrown off tall buildings.
It isn’t unlikely that the poofs also have both instincts, which may lead to self-loathing. The same considerations apply to trannies. Mostly, I feel pity for them, but their suicide rates may owe a lot to an instinctive loathing of their own selves.

Sorry srr, normally I just scroll through your stuff but I was out of practice and read some today. My bad.
He is a weak and unpopular man, even within the clergy. Much comment has been made about his possible aspirations for higher office.
This is the security guard’s account of the events of the night once Higgins and the man entered Parliament House. (edited – see link for full version).
Ms Higgins and a colleague were at a nightclub, 88mph, after a night of drinking. The colleague had offered Higgins a lift home in a taxi, which she accepted. The man said he first needed to swing by Parliament House to pick something up.
CCTV from the night shows the pair arrived at Parliament House’s ministerial entrance at 1:50am.
Security issued issued the pair with Positively Identified Passes, or green passes, which allow holders unrestricted, unescorted access. Security took the pair up to Senator Reynolds’s office, unlocked the door and let them in before the security officer headed back downstairs to continue the shift.
Once inside the office, Higgins has said the male colleague began looking for the item he needed to retrieve and she fell asleep on a couch. She later claimed that she woke to find the man on top of her.
“I woke up mid-rape, essentially,” she said. “Um, I, I don’t know why I knew he was almost finished, but I’d, I’d felt like it had been going on for a while or that he was almost done. He was sweaty. I couldn’t get him off of me. At this point I started crying.”
CCTV shows the man left Parliament House at 2:35am (about 45 minutes after arrival).
At 4:20am, security went to do a welfare check on Higgins at Senator Reynolds’ office. The security office said “As I approached Minister Reynold’s office, I opened the door and announced myself. So, yelling, ‘Security. Hello. Security, security’ … just so that she was aware that I was there,” she said.
“I got no response whatsoever.”
The security officer opened the office door. “As I’ve opened the door, I’ve noticed that the female was lying on her back, completely naked, on the lounge that was adjacent to the door, for which I’ve gone, ‘Oh,’”.
“The sound of the door or the breeze of the door opening has then made the female open her eyes, look at me. And then she’s rolled over onto her side.” “So, therefore, my [take] on it was she’s conscious. She’s breathing. She’s doesn’t look like she’s in distress. She’s just sleeping off her night. And with that, I shut the door, and I exited the room. I made sure her dignity was intact by shutting this door… I was trying to do the right thing by keeping her dignity intact.”
At 7:00 am another security guard did a welfare check but did not go into the office and called out from behind the closed door. No reported response.
Higgins is recorded as leaving Parliament House at 10:00am and took an Uber to her Canberra home.
The accused had denied he had sex with Higgins.

Best value comedy at the moment is watching Comical Murray every night beavering away for ScoMo.
Almost as good as watching Sneakers Ed here every day, doing the same.
I’m curious to know how the DPP came to the view they could obtain a conviction beyond rolling the dice. I expect there will be much more evidence lead about events prior to their departure. As always, best wait till you have heard both sides at trial under the rules of evidence. Not at the National Press Club.
The bar for a mistrial due to pre-trial publicity is pretty high. Many argue it, few succeed.
Bear, this wasn’t “pre trial publicity”.
This was an endorsement by the PM.
That police and security presence is not there to protect you from your own giggly, taxpayer-funded decision-making.
And a convenient decision to make a statement after any definitive sample evidence was cleansed. Handy that.
Just heard from Daughter. She and SiL will be joining the Convoy to Canberra this weekend. Neither are the protesting type – both very laid back – but they’ve had enough of threats and coercion.
They and their children are unvaxxed and intend to stay that way. She has made her views known to pollies through calls and emails. Now, she says, it’s time to act.
Graceta Tameburg is starting her own foundation, which she’s modestly named the Grace Tame Foundation. And it’s launching a campaign called “Stop romantisicing child abuse“. Um…what? I’m not seeing a whole lot of romantisicing of child abuse – outside of Hollywood, anyway. Hell, even the ALP has learnt to keep their enthusiasm for touching kids under wraps.
r u ok, Grace?
My view of the initial statement was a ploy to save her job. The idiot minister who hand patted her should have referred the lot straight to the AFP.
Remember, this was at the height of the “me too” hysteria, where every idiot who had been touched by an equally idiotic and clumsy male was crying assault. It played right in to the zeitgeist.
Now while Publicly & Loudly Damning God, Praising Satan & Celebrating your abortion have become Legally Protected “Rights”, how on earth is ANYONE still falling for the, “You Must Use The Letter For The Word You Can’t Say (Even Though Everyone Knows Saying The Letter Is Saying The Word), Or Be Damned From All Society For Life!”, BS?

The world’s first female F-35 fighter pilot crashed a plane on its first flight
The world’s first female pilot, crashed an F-35 fighter on her first try.
After the publication of a video of the collision of an American F-35 fighter with the deck of an aircraft carrier, it became known that the world’s first female F-35 pilot was at the helm of the US Navy’s fifth generation fighter. This, according to American sources, was her first flight from the deck of an aircraft carrier, which was enough to destroy a fighter worth more than $ 100 million.
The information that the fighter was flown by a woman was presented to the media by one of the crew members of the American aircraft carrier Carl Vinson, noting that despite the fact that the woman had completed a full course of training and successfully completed the take-off and landing training program on the deck of an aircraft carrier, for her, the current flight was the first from the deck of a real warship.
It is noteworthy that in the video (50 Secs)you can hear that the crew is furiously giving instructions to the F-35 pilot, probably realizing that the crash of the fighter will be virtually inevitable, and literally in a matter of moments the woman is trying to align the fighter with the deck, but completely unsuccessfully.
The command of the US Navy has not yet commented on such information.
Struggling to see any distinction. I didn’t do any real crim law, I think it all gets thrown in the same basket. Others more qualified than me might be able to comment.
Just read Janet Albrechtsen’s article on “not up to the job Scummo”. – 2133 comments – my goodness don’t know the fors/againsts but will get back to it.
Mel Brooks version of
It’s good to be the king
From something I posted last night – wonder if anyone has any thoughts:
Check out the WA government’s vaccine dashboard. The numbers don’t add up. WA has a population of 2.8 million. Govt claims ~93.6% of the population aged 12 and over are double vaxxed. Govt claims around 4.25 million shots have been administered. At first pass that doesn’t seem right. The population aged between 0-11 numbers about 600k – a decent chunk of the 5-11s have received their first shot, just awful. A decent chunk of the 12+ cohort have received their third. Seems to me that waaaaay over 5 million shots – probably nearer to 6 million – would need to have been administered to hit that 93. 6% rate, after accounting for shots given to the poor 5-11yo human guinea pigs, the million or so that are boosted plus those that only got one shot…something doesn’t seem right here.
If these two featured comments reflects the tenor of the comments Wobbleguts/Scummo is charred chitlins :
Leaked Video Emerges Of US Stealth Jet Crashing On Carrier In South China Sea
In late January, a $135 million single-seat, single-engine, all-weather stealth fighter jet designed by Lockheed Martin crash-landed aboard the flight deck of the USS Carl Vinson in the South China Sea. A partial video of the incident was published days after the Jan. 24 crash but didn’t show the full impact until now.
What I don’t understand, although would assume carrier travelling 20 knots into wind, why a rescue bot wasn’t launcehd to get a tether around the F35
Below is a confirmed photo of the F-35C floating in the South China Sea after sliding off the flight deck.
My guess is that the unvaxxed proportion of the population is maybe 15% rather than 5%.
It’s probably because she wasn’t wearing one of those pregnant person flight suits that the military designed. Curse you, patriarchy!
I’m not sure what the Cricket Australia Board want to “transition to” without Langer?
Losing?
I don’t have any reference, but she claimed that she went into the building with him because she didn’t want to wait in the taxi.
Has the whole taxi thing been explained?
She said (as I understand it) that she took a taxi with him as a convenient way to get home.
OK, but they went to Parliament House. How was that convenient for her? She hadn’t asserted that she had any reason to go there.
The explanation of that was that he said he had to just duck in there to pick something up and it wouldn’t take long, and she acceded to that.
OK, so why didn’t she wait for him in the taxi? Because, she said, she’d feel safer in Parliament House.
(Would she have felt unsafe at the front entrance with the security guards? But that’s a side issue.)
OK, but what happened to the taxi? Has anyone ever heard of a taxi driver letting multiple passengers all leave the cab and go into a building without paying?
So, maybe they paid the driver. OK, then what happened? Did the driver drive off looking for another job? If so, that blows the “convenient” argument right out of the water. (I’m presuming that at 2.00 am on a weekend there wouldn’t be a taxi rank outside Parliament House that was so long that they’d be sure of getting another cab straight away when they came back out.)
If not, what was the deal with the driver? Wouldn’t he just say “sure I’ll take you if I’m still here when you come back out”. But that too would blow a big hole in the “convenient” argument.
It only works if one assumes that they paid the driver and then the driver promised to wait for them – exactly why he’d promise that is not clear. Even then there’s something a bit odd – why would she risk the driver reneging?
Was it impossible for her to wait near the cab so that the driver wouldn’t start heading off without her knowing, but within sight of the security guards so the safety angle was covered? Maybe not, but it would be worth finding out.
And then, when they got into the minister’s office, how long were they there before she started questioning the “just got to pick something up, won’t take long” line – particularly if she’s claiming she only shared a cab for convenience and by hanging around in the minister’s office she was risking the driver getting impatient and going off for another fare.
Maybe that works if she walked into the minister’s office and almost immediately flaked out.
But remember, her story is that she was compos mentis enough to make a decision to go from the taxi to the building (and remembers her reason for doing so).
So the whole thing hinges on some rather strange interactions with the taxi driver, followed by a sudden transition from active decision maker to unconscious victim within a walk down a corridor. But how does one explain the bloke’s motivation? If he’d been intending all along to rape her when she flaked out, there was a potentially big flaw in his plan since she was still compos mentis even at the door of Parliament so how did he know she’d flake out at all? If he wasn’t planning to rape her all along, presumably it was a spur of the moment thing when she did flake out – which isn’t impossible, but it does seem far fetched that a Canberra staffer would do it in a Cabinet minister’s office just on a whim given the consequences which would inevitably ensue.
I’m not saying this is conclusive proof that she’s lying. However, there’s a very narrow range of circumstances in which her story is at all plausible.
You need to have an end point in mind when transitioning. Freelance transitioning is a recipe for disaster.
Lots of questions. How many will be answered? Sit tight. Groogs is on it.
I’m thinking that it is 20-25%, but we will never know the real number.
With You-cant-prosecute-me Sutton in Viktoristan constantly changing the numbers to keep Mad Dog Dan happy.
I’ve always felt that if a bloke gets totally shit-faced pissed, gets into a car and then runs over and kills two children and a little old lady, then he should get clobbered for manslaughter. The idea that he should get let off because he’s drunk strikes me as insane.
The same applies to chicks getting shitfaced and then claiming that they couldn’t give consent to sex. They are responsible for getting shitfaced and all that follows from it.
I’d like to think so but I don’t think they could fudge the numbers that much. Also, that would put us at a similar vaxx rate as comparable countries. However, Australians have been terrified by an artificial depiction of Covid as presented by the media, and I think that has made us more compliant and willing to get vaxxed. In comparison, those other countries have been living with Covid pretty much continuously since early 2020 and have a much more realistic outlook on the threat it poses. So it makes sense to me that a higher proportion of Australians are vaxxed than the population of, say, the UK. But 95% vaxx rate here? Nah that’s bullshit.
She didn’t wait for him in the taxi because it was bleeding cold and it would be warmer inside PH. Apparently.
Does that imply we are responsible for the election of Moronsin and all the woe he has caused?
FYI. This RAT testing in schools is becoming a farce. Probably only 10% of kids are testing (Karen parents). None of the kids give a shit about this covid nonsense from what I hear.
I was blind drunk when I voted liberal, I will never do it again.
Totally stupid analogy. -8
Seems the ride was terminated by the cab hirer at PH.
DrB, you’re a maths brain. What do you think of my back-of-an-envelope calculations above?
By the way, I’ve noticed the first cracks appearing in the vaxx passport mandates. A week ago, Dan Murphy’s required proof of vaxx to use their pre-order contactless direct-to-boot pick up service. However, just now I see their website is stating no proof of vaxx required for contactless pick ups.
The same applies to chicks getting shitfaced and then claiming that they couldn’t give consent to sex. They are responsible for getting shitfaced and all that follows from it.
You couldnt have that, bars and nightclubs would be full of unsavory chaps buying drinks for tipsy harlots in the hope of getting their end away.

Out here in Fairfield, NSW the 2 public swimming pools have been booked out M to F for swim carnivals, all of February, no masks or social distancing in operation .. BAT FLU is, apparently,stuck in detention in the class rooms so the pool areas are safe .. LOL!
Consenting because drunk = not rape
So drunk that consent cannot be given = rape
In the latter scenario, there is still some onus on the victim in that better choices should have been made in order to avoid being in such a vulnerable situation in the first instance. Don’t go out on the town and get shitfaced with people you don’t really know etc.

She may or may not have screwed the pooch but this article is misogynistic codswallop.
She isn’t the first female F-35 pilot and this wasn’t her first landing on a carrier. Far from it.
Reality check – the USN doesn’t carry out initial carrier qualification training in the South China Sea.
both so drunk = rape-rape = nada ?
I know a lady who flew Dakotas as Aristotle Onassis’ personal pilot. She was turned around by MiGs when flying into the Berlin blockade.
I sat next to someone who turned out to be an Examiner of Airmen on aplane; the Captain came out to greet her personally as she was exiting with us hoi polloi. When I mentioned her to someone in the trade, his view was that she could command a 747 to stop and hover in mid-air, and it would damn well do what it was told.
‘World’s first female pilot’.
I don’t think so. I really don’t think so.
I have had a gutful of lying skanks.
Dunno, OCO. I’m very sceptical about any numbers offered by the gummint, although I’m less sceptical about the numbers that destroy their arguments. I figure that the mean and median ages of death from/with WuFlu are probably safe, for example. They exceed the life expectancy, suggesting that you’re better off with WuFlu. This is unlikely.
I certainly don’t trust the official numbers about vaxx rates. But I don’t trust anything the officials tell me. There is lots of evidence that the buggers will say and do anything that suits their agenda. Trying to get us to take a new and untested medical procedure by pretending nearly everyone else has done it would be exactly their modus operandi.
They’ve been following the traditional method mentioned by H L Mencken a century ago, frighten the populace with hobgoblins so they’ll be clamorous to be led to safety. It’s depressing that it still works.
Absalutly Oco but still no excuse to go at it like a necrophiliac.
Probably a tranny.
Yep. Creates a lot of work for the courts too.
Hehe. They are all selling their RAT packages on ebay. The kids were mentioned the going price for a pack. LOL. Suck it up Dan, you fuckn POS.
Side theatre really gives the compliant something to discuss.
They latch hold.
Church and the priests been at it much longer than that.
Hmmmm. Back in the mid 90s in Melbourne he’d just been awarded a doctorate and was regarded highly as a brilliant scholar, a man who could communicate with the young, an up-and-comer adroit at explaining the church’s position on all the hot button issues.
Then we watched him on Q&A conceding, pussy-footing, hard-pressed and unable to shoot straight because Twitter and Jones would have erupted and that would not do. He wants to be liked. Plaudits and praise are taken as progress for a church beleaguered. When you use the Willy Loman measuring stick you become a salesman or a politician and you are doomed.
With the latter overwhelming the former, DrBG.
I believe that the vast majority of men would leap to the defence of an effeminate male who was was being bashed.

WHY THE PHRASES “BIO-ETHICS & NUREMBERG CODES” ARE GOING TO TAKE CENTER STAGE IN 2022-2023
Course they wouldn’t.
Neither would the Navy spend money paying for sex-change operations for anybody who felt they should have their tackle sliced off, nor would the Army adjust the Ranger qualification benchmark to allow for women.
This is a longish and interesting piece on why hysteria is currently trumping sound argument and facts.
https://richardhanania.substack.com/p/womens-tears-win-in-the-marketplace
Given that (3) is so horrible and basically gives a veto to hysterical women over all public policy, we have to choose (1) or (2). I have no doubt that public discourse as a male space works better. That doesn’t mean women are barred from voting or discussing politics. They can participate in the public arena but as soon as they start crying over a Halloween costume or talking about “online abuse,” most people should roll their eyes and understand that someone without the emotional stability to even participate in the marketplace of ideas isn’t going to have the traits necessary to contribute much to it. I think we were closer to this ideal 20 or 30 years ago, but we’ve moved away from it under the pressure of civil rights law and women becoming more prominent at higher levels of important institutions. This is basically the way we treat men already; a male journalist crying over mean words instantly loses credibility, and rightfully so. The public space should be regularly purging people, and we can’t care if the purges have a disparate impact.

OK. I’d thought it was “safety”. I suppose “warmer in PH” might make sense if the driver was going to turn the engine off and freeze himself. But even then…

Even if you have a vadge and your daddy is an admiral at the Pentagon?
Just finished reading that, mole.
It is V=very good .
No, I see Beaugy’s point and agree with it completely.
It’s all about accountability and responsibility, concepts which are foreign to many people. Too often the law, as it stands, protects the stupid, regardless of any tragedy caused by their blatant disregard for personal responsibility.

Garbage.
The Accused dismissed the taxi.
That was recorded.
She had the choice of either standing alone in the dark late at night or going into PH.
Was her drink spiked?
We can only hope.
Good article.
….especially for the audience laughter when she falls down. Epic.
Otherwise known as …The Innocent.
That’s the general idea of the Law, by the way.
Bullshit.
Since the taxi was now a free agent, she could have given the driver her address and paid for the ride there from PH.
She had the option to leave.

Bruce O’Newk:
I never supported it.
Sadly the USN would grab any lady cadet with both hands and physically carry her through training these days if that’s what it took, such is the woke imperative for equalidy. That’s not a good preparation for a carrier fighter pilot. I don’t know what her story is, but I’ve often seen women being levitated in such a way in corporations for that reason.
Very much a cultural thing. My sense of justice would certainly override my distaste for effeminate men. But then, I was raised in a Christian country. It would be different if I’d been brung up in Saudi Arabia, I suspect.
Bullshit.
Since the taxi was now a free agent, she could have given the driver her address and paid for the ride there from PH.
She had the option to leave.
Exactly. “I shared a taxi since it was a convenient way to get home, it drove somewhere totally different, and I watched it set off into the distance leaving me stuck there until another taxi could be summoned, instead of getting that taxi to take me home”.
Anyone think that’s a good enough basis for a “beyond reasonable doubt” guilty verdict?
John McCain crashed at least 6 Navy jets, plus causing massive loss of life by starting a fire on the USS Forrestal.
So why are you commenting on it for?
The stupid are not innocent, laws cannot protect the stupid. Neddy NutCase you are a prime example of stupid. Everyday you prove it. No law can be written to make you any different. If you ever get anything right it will be by accident. Look up the Oxford Dictionary of Stupid. In your version there will be a mirror. Thats what stupid looks like. Go away, you have nothing to contribute.
