I’m sick of sh*t being posted as fact. I’ve been sucked in so many times I’m over it. By all means believe what you want to believe. How can you check everything.

I just get the impression that conservatives are being played…again.

And thanks for the Laurence Fox/Steyn video. Fox calls for the removal of Canada, Australia and New Zealand from the Commonwealth because they are behaving like Uganda.

That should concentrate some minds were it to happen. Don’t hold your breath though.

This is unfuckingbelievable.

“Liberal” MP Fiona Martin hosts a “come chat with me” event at a local park, nobody turns up, Aussie Cossack turns up with his camera crew and microphone on so she flees the park, her fat cuck masked up house-boy handlers call the police who immediately arrive sirens on, in force.

See the “Liberals” love the new world order just as much as Labor do. It’s like the factions in the old English Nobility, they violently battled each other to expand their own faction’s aristocratic power, but they both completely agreed that whichever held the power it, had the absolute right to have that power and you, the everyman didn’t.

At least the fuzz are dragging them off the road:

Radical environmental activists blocked off Sydney’s Spit Bridge this morning, causing major traffic delays before being dragged away by police. Motorists are being warned to expect significant delays after traffic built up at Mosman on the lower north shore heading into the city – at the same time that the city’s trains are in chaos. Protesters from ‘Fireproof Australia’ blocked traffic by sitting in the middle of the road, with one demonstrator saying: ‘Sometimes you have to make a fuss in order to be heard’.

Look at it this way, if you will.

Some bright sparks think they can get some advertising dollars for clicks and views. They come up with the idea of a fake “news” service aimed directly at conservatives in which they feed them piles of bullsh*t posing as stories. It has to be in line with the zeitgeist as well as satisfying conservative aspirations and/or suspicions.

Multiply that by several thousand and you have today’s internet “alternative” news, which isn’t really. Just a bunch of no hopers making money for sh*ts and giggles. And it’s even juicier because it’s against their class enemies. The earnest, genuine ones are then disenfranchised and pilloried because they trusted. And that’s before the leftie “fact checkers” get their teeth into it.

Rosie gets a heap of stick for doubting. You can now add me to the club and beat me up too if you so desire.

Whilst acknowledging Tony Abbott’s political mistakes and flaws although his personal character has never been in dispute because the bottom line is that we could do with more men in public life who possess the personal character traits of Tony Abbott. You only have to watch how Abbott has been treated by the MSM and progressive leftist scum on social media over the years, culminating in 2019 when he was subjected to one of the most vicious, vitriolic and unhinged campaigns in Australian history. The fact that he was and has remained decent and dignified in the face of constant smears and lies has long infuriated me and this is why I liked Trump so much……he threw it back. And yes, I was bewildered and infuriated because Abbott did seem to lose some of his political mojo when he became PM in September 2013 and yes, I don’t think having Peta Credlin as an advisor helped him. However, it is not the right and figures such as Abbott who have corrupted public and political life so that it is now utterly toxic and unhinged, it’s the progressive left. You only have to look at how they target conservatives or anyone on the right to annihilate. Whilst I blame a lot of this on social media, it’s also an insight into what dominates now…socially and politically….which is the modern progressive Marxist left, a ruthless ideology that has now fully captured ALL of our institutions and which will even out Alinsky Alinsky with their smearing, lying, libelling, silencing and destruction of anyone whose character and opinions they don’t like…and of course the targets are almost always male, white (though not always…Israel Folau) and Christian.

Like George Pell, Abbott is a steadfast Christian, they are both very masculine men, real men, loyal men, faithfully married, one to the church and one to a woman. Both men are unapologetic in their strong beliefs and whilst I might not agree with them on everything, I respect the fact that they are unafraid to stand up and state their beliefs. However both men have paid a heavy price for their beliefs….one falsely smeared as a misogynist and subjected to degrading insults and one man who was the subject of the most heinous injustice in Australian legal history.

When people castigate Tony Abbott and then laud Clive Palmer……spare me.

We’d been living together for three years when I informed him of my desire to have a child.* I was thirty-four and had just signed a deal to write my first book. It seemed as if all the work I had put in during the gruelling slog of my late twenties and early thirties was finally paying off,** so what better time to throw a wild bull into the proverbial china shop and add sleepless nights and a broken body to the mix?

Of course, I didn’t know about the reality of newborns then.***

Nor was I prepared for how destructive those little creatures can be to relationships. The genteel life I imagined for myself was cast in soft, pastel focus.

I would finally be a published author. I’d have a placid, chubby little baby who cooed at all the right times and cried only when absolutely necessary, which would be never. And I’d have a loving partner who supported me emotionally in both of these endeavours, understanding without question or conflict what needed to be done and simply getting on with it.****
….
I resented the ease with which he seemed able to return to life as he knew it, as if nothing of consequence had really occurred.*****

The days were long and lonely, and with a baby who wouldn’t sleep unless connected directly to my body, they were also often suffocating. In the pre-dawn hours, after another night of broken sleep and relentless feeding, I’d look at the man lying asleep next to me, the one I’d fallen in love with over golden sunsets and buttered rums and think, I hate you.******

One of the things I had always valued about our relationship was how independent we could be of each other—which is to say, I had valued how independent I could be.
….
One of the things I had always valued about our relationship was how independent we could be of each other—which is to say, I had valued how independent I could be.*******

I was often travelling for work, sometimes announcing it at a moment’s notice. I was still playing roller derby, a sport that required a lot of time out for training and an almost equal amount of time for socialising.********
….
I experienced the shock of motherhood and its impact on our relationship as a huge betrayal, and I blamed him for most of it. My book, a feminist manifesto and memoir, had been released when our son was seven weeks old. I had a public reputation for being a ‘man-hater’ whose feminist wrath had made her the scourge of trolls everywhere.*********

For years, I’d been telling women not to tolerate sexism from men. How could someone like me have been caught in the terrible trap of domestic drudgery, while a man skated alongside her with very little disruption to his life or any awareness of the labour that went into facilitating it?**********
….
Outside of my home, I was championed and celebrated. My work made a difference to the lives of girls and women, and because of this I felt confident to use my voice to speak up against injustice.***********

I love that I can come and go as I please on the days of the week when my son is with his father.************ I love that the time I have with my son now is untainted by domestic resentments and exhaustion.

I wonder if I have always been meant to live this way and simply lacked the role models to show that it was possible.

I imagine a world in which our entire notion of ‘family’ is reinvented. Where women’s desire for motherhood is divested from our belief that it can only happen if we enter into a nuclear partnership.************

* Wall status, hit. Ovaries status, shrinking.
** Being a COAT is not a profession.
*** But it didnt stop her telling other impressionable youth to follow her mong advice.
**** Have a look at the description of pre-baby life, and laugh.
***** You basically said “make me pregnant” without any plan at all.
****** Yup, awesome life partner mate.
******* So you had a roommate you had sex with, not a boyfriend.
******** Woman who gives out advice on being a woman discovers kids cramp previous lifestyle, film at 11.
********* Irrational COAT blames other person for her poor knowledge of child based activities.
********** Because you are a mong?
*********** Gee. Werent they lucky. A Mong gave them life advice.
************ So shes overjoyed she can dump the kid for days at a time.
************* Note, at no stage does she ask “why has the nuclear family been the best choice for families for thousands of years”. Instead, informed by her own Mongstrosity she powers forward to deliver more shit advice to girls.

What the hell is going on with the remake of Alexander Downer in the UK with Priti Patel .

It’s bizarre.

There was a Breitbart London story yesterday which described him as one of the “masterminds” of Turn Back the Boats. I don’t know who is in charge at B.L. these days, but letting that pearler through is a major editorial lapse.

Do they not remember their own reporting of Dolly’s role in undermining Trump? Do they not have a single Australian correspondent who could tell them that the only thing Dolly ever “masterminded” was his own career?

Still, it’s a good pointer to the level of commitment of the alleged conservatives running the UK to doing something substantial about illegal immigration.

That would be, as in the past, zero.

It’s information warfare.

You’ll notice that, in its neverending attempts to replace democracy with communist dictatorship, the left’s ONLY weapon is propaganda, especially the don’t-believe-your-lying-eyes kind.

And, of course, the left’s ability to wage disinformation warfare has been supercharged by the arrival of social media, which was invented by anti-social nerds who hate the human race and made their billions talking to computers so they didn’t have to interact with people.

Rosie’s scepticism, although admirable, is rather selective. There’s a notable disposition for human beans to believe what they want to believe, and we all need to be aware of our weakness in this respect, and take evasive action. Rosie herself just wants to believe different things from most of us.

Scepticism and doubt can keep you sane. The more you want something to be true, the harder you should examine the supporting evidence.

They are, aren’t they?

In our neck of the woods, in the NSW Central Tablelands, our local RFS brigade and numerous landholders, have been calling for reduced fire loads in adjacent NPWS controlled forests for some time. It largely falls on deaf ears. During the big fires of a few years ago, NPWS (and the RFS bureaucracy in Sydney) were very opposed to back burning suggestions from locals if it meant burning NPWS. Yet the wild fire itself was ripping through the native bushland. Go figure.

“However both men have paid a heavy price for their beliefs”

Abbott paid because he failed to act on his beliefs, he went to jelly and sold his beliefs and his supporters out for what he thought would be buying security, friendship and support from those who despised him. In the end no one was there for him because he had no idea of what to do as PM.

Nobody asks them “What does Putin want?”

Which would be enlightening, because he wants the internationally brokered Minsk Protocol II to be adhered to by Ukraine, one of the clause of which authorises elections in Russian-speaking majority regions of Donetsk and Luhansk in accordance with the Ukrainian Constitiution and law which guarantees self-government to local regions.

It seems that democracy and rule of law is only acceptable when the result of elections is acceptable to the powers that be.

“It’s information warfare”

It’s interesting to go back over what Alex Jones has claimed, which was – of course! – derided as “conspiracy theory”, “Fruit loopery” etc, and see just how much he got right. Well, perhaps not so much interesting as, umm, scary!
Not saying he’s always right or anything, but go have a look – I dares ya!

Ditto DJT – topically, “They’re spying on me” (“No they’re not, you’re paranoid!”) – yet it seems they were, and it looks like HillBillary paid for them to do it.

In terms of 4th and 5th generational warfare, one tactic is to have “reliable” entities tell you one thing, then the complete opposite in a months time. Rinse and repeat. Until most people get to the point where they are thinking, if not saying, “I don’t care – just tell me what to do!”. A la Fau-Xi “don’t wear a mask”, “wear a mask”, “wear two masks”. And never forget “Vax is our way back to normal”, starting with 70%, then 80% then 90%, then “oh noes! I new variant that 2 doses of vax doesn’t protect you against! Quick, get another dose of the same vax, and if that doesn’t work either, get a fourth!”
None of it makes sense because it’s designed not to make sense – it’s designed to get you into “Fine, whatever. What are the rules today?” mode.

Trudeau (and Andrews, mind) would be well served to recall Richard II of England.

He threw his grandfather and predecessor Edward III (who ruled for 50 years)’s views out the window, reinstated the divine right of kings, maintained a Parliament as a fluffy showpiece and cultivated a court where the king was a distant figure to be revered from afar.

He was deposed by a rival who landed with several hundred punters as support, which almost instantly developed into hundreds of thousands. He was compelled to sign a document indicating his unsuitability to be king, was imprisoned and ‘starved to death’ shortly afterwards.

But Id also make the point if you followed only “proper” news you would believe Scomo, The grotesque jug eared hunchback and McClown have saved us all along with those paragons of virtue, Dr Falchi and Pfizer.

A healthy skepticism is fine, believing government stuff is retarded, and believing independent stuff need he 12 hour rule invoked.

Catherine Deveny. Got nudged out of the Age and went freelance. Again, freelance jerbs dried up. Last I heard she was running “Perfessional Writing Workshops” at around $1500 a throw for two days (ain’t capitalism grand?). Except she was missing that key ingredient of capitalism – customers. Although I think an old Cat may have raised false hopes by making enquiries about a group booking (Areff ?).
Clammy Ford. Walked away from the Age, giving the middle finger on the way out the door. More beckoning green pastures. Three years on she tries to promote her half-arsed book through the same outlet, who understandably say, (in words she will understand) “Get fucked. Fuck off, c***.”
All were self assured of a glittering career in FuckYou Feminist J’ism outside the stifling shackles of Fewfacts. All fell on their ample arses.

Also what fuckwit bureaucrat thought it would be a good thing to fine these two chaps for not getting authorised approval to enter West Korea via “back roads”. These two would know more bush tracks than the fuckwits would know soy latte baristas.

This has already been snapped, but I think it’s important.

I’m sick of sh*t being posted as fact.

Not just posted as fact, but unconditionally believed without question (by some) because ‘Oooooh it’s just what they would do’. Now this is not to justify this shit state of affairs, made worse by jacks around the country and overseas. But:

Nobody died after being trampled by the horse in Canada.
Nobody was shot in face and died in Melbourne.
The Predator Velcro patch marketed by a local nuffy as a secret NWO/WEF symbol on VicJack Inc equipment vests was not only not such a symbol, it wasn’t a police vest because the lettering was wrong, in the wrong position and the wrong size, and you could get all that from Wish for $50. Remember that one?

All received immediate acceptance as truthy truth. Because certain people wanted to believe it. Not only that, they did (and continue to) run the line of ‘Oh so you’re in favour of Andrews/Pallachook/Morrison/Trudeau then?’ as a stupid, stupid response.

This is why I had a problem with St. Ruth’s very candid admissions that he told wild lies on this site ‘to shock people into action’. Not only did it not do that, it made people take every single thing he said after that to be bullshit because his claims were not true.

All this nonsense delegitimises the entirely justified protests against these micro-dictators and their inability to walk away from the absolute power they invested in themselves.

Commonwealth calling for curriculum changes in States. Wants more multi-culti and pre-Federation history taught.

It is impossible to understand the complexity of the morality of Australian history without being introduced to the 3 main ethical frameworks (deontology, consequentialism, and utilitarianism). There does not seem to be any desire by fedschoolmarm to introduce such ethics into the curriculum despite these mental tools being far more valuable in application to every day of life than any amount of pseudo-factual content about the pre-Federation Invasion Day.
To their credit, there is some basic psychology in the national curriculum. They teach anti-rascist skills (“Critique behaviours and contextual factors that influence health and wellbeing of diverse communities”) which sounds great. But, over in the mental wellbeing category, what examples are used exactly when learning how to “propose appropriate emotional responses”? Which aspects of yourself would it be considered “inappropriate” for you to care about, and who decides what’s on that list?

A lot of people who a few years ago would have considered it their duty to help police will now view them with distrust. They will want to avoid contact with them and will not want to volunteer information, and will not want to tell them anything they can avoid.

And after a lifetime of good relationships with police (40 years of volunteer ambulance and fire) I am now in the ‘never trust police camp’.

FILM ALL INTERACTIONS WITH POLICE: My recent week in solitary after stopping at an unmarked ‘roadblock’ started as ‘ you nearly hit that man – we were just there, we saw you nearly hit that man’ (first Policeman to approach me) then morphed into ‘you drove dangerously and struck a vulnerable road user, injuring him’ (the next 3 police who ‘witnessed’ the incident from afar).

Fortunately, I have the ‘you nearly hit that man’ bit captured on video – I would think thats your ‘reasonable doubt’ right there…

It almost makes you think that the drive from both major political parties to get women, including young mothers, into the workforce over the last several decades was a cynical ploy by the state to gain further control over children.

Nobody saw the normalisation of transgenderism and other forms of sexual deviancy coming in the 1980s, but those pushing those agendas have certainly taken advantage of the capture of children by the state.

If home schooling continues to rise in popularity, expect the state to move against it.

It is no exaggeration to say that the family policies of Western governments since the 1970s have been an implementation of those pioneered by Stalin and the Soviet state.

You can’t scream about this and then in the same breath go ‘dead, not dead, same same. The point is I’m making noise’.

PISA results 2018

The newly released Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) report has raised concerns across the nation, with students in Australia recording their lowest results since this form of international testing began.

After years of decline across various disciplines, Australian students have for the first time failed to exceed the OECD average in maths, while also falling in reading and science.

Australian students placed 16th in the world in reading, 29th in maths and 17th in science

In Maths, Australia’s performance is down in all states and territories, with significant declines in South Australia, New South Wales, Tasmania, Western Australia and the ACT. The smallest decline was recorded in Victoria.

The only country whose maths performance fell further than Australia is Finland, although it still outperforms Australia.

Indigenous education experts Dr Kevin Lowe and Dr John Guenther from the University of NSW said if we are worried about the recent PISA results, we should be gravely concerned about the state of Indigenous education in Australia.

“As bad as the results are, the PISA data masks an even bigger problem for rural and remote Indigenous students,” they said in a joint statement

The report points us to the systemic nature of Indigenous under-performance. Despite the significant investment of Closing the Gap over the last decade, there remains a need to conceptually rethink the delivery of and investment in education for all Indigenous students across Australia.”

UK School Bans Meat Products Because Climate Change (16 Feb)

PARENTS have blasted a school’s decision to go permanently “meat free”.

Students at Barrowford Primary School near Nelson, Lancashire, are only offered vegetarian dinners – and kids are also urged not to bring meat in their packed lunches.

The new rule was brought in last year, but a letter informing parents of the change was only sent out on Thursday.

As a proud Wests (Balmain) Tigers man, I can only hope for the wooden spoon after 5, yes 5 captains are named.
In the modern game if one of your forwards is the real captain, I can understand co-captains because one of them is only on the field for half the game.
But 5 captains means you have no captains.

Lysander, if you want good beef, get your own. Do you know any cattle farmers? If not maybe a friend does. Find one that has good quality steers and buy one, next get the local mobile butcher to do the butchering.

Not that easy to find mobile butchers in our neck of the woods, at least.

A local grazier is now butchering own cattle & sheep & is supplying a providore outlet. It is great for us – as we only eat other people’s cows!!! Pathetic, I know. We have a particular Angus cross steer (who must weigh 1,000kg) which every tradesman eyes off & wonders when he will be slaughtered. That will never happen. We kept him because he is such a character – naming him “Mary” because he was such a sook as a calf & would steal milk from the Belted Galloway cows after he was weaned from his Angus mother.

I know the report is probably a spoof, but thats NOT an acute hoofcrack, that’s a long standing coronet band injury which has grown all the way down the hoof, probably from a hoof abscess 6 months or more prior…. ask someone who has kept horses for 40 years.

Agree it’s a spoof, but you are quite correct about the hoof issue. As a life-long horse owner and now equine podiotherapist, I can confirm it’s an old coronet band injury, possibly an abscess breakout, but more likely a laceration that’s interrupted the growth permanently. Abscess eruptions usually don’t make a permanent scar down the wall like that one, but grow out like a fingernail blemish. I deal with these regularly.

As with the earlier post from this twitter account showing the 4 cops having a go at the young man, it’s not Ottawa right now, if at all. Also for anyone thinking the hoof belongs to the police horse involved in the trampling incident, just have a look at the hair colour of the legs of the police horse involved in the video and compare. So yes, a spoof account.

One of my clients with a large cattle property has him in periodically, and they have some big freezers to accommodate the beef and lamb.

Scott Morrison has endorsed a bill that would exclude trans-women from playing single sex sports.

Tasmanian Senator Claire Chandler called for a ban on transgender women to compete in women’s sports, and introduced a bill titled “save women’s sports” to parliament earlier this month.

“It is unacceptable that Commonwealth laws threaten sports clubs and associations with legal action for offering single-sex sporting events and competition exclusively for females,” she said at the time.

“The Sex Discrimination and Other Legislation Amendment (Save Women’s Sport) Bill 2022 I am introducing today will make clear that single-sex sport for women is lawful, encouraged and supported by the parliament of Australia.”

When asked about his views on the bill at a press conference in the Tasmanian marginal seat of Lyons today, the Prime Minister backed Senator Chandler’s proposal.

“I support it, I think it is a terrific bill and I’ve given her great encouragement,” he said.

“Claire is a champion for women’s sport and I think she has been right to raise these issues in the way that she has.”

You’re definitely not being a wuss! A mere side-step onto your foot, especially if the horse is steel-shod, can cause a lot of damage, up to and including fractures, especially if you’re not wearing shoes yourself.

Horses will not normally by choice trample or step on a person, and even in panic will most often manage not to step on you. I was recently tangled up in the hind feet of a fit young racehorse that performed some unexpected manoeuvres while I was trimming its hind hoofs, yet I escaped without injury. Their proprioception is usually excellent, as in they are exceptionally well aware of their hoof placement – which make it more obvious when they seemingly “accidentally” side-step onto your foot when you’re working with them! Ponies are particularly adept at doing that, the cheeky little buggers!

You’re more likely to experience what you did, as in getting shouldered out of the way/knocked over if they spook at something. An average-sized horse like an Arabian or Thoroughbred can weigh 400+kg, with a heavy Quarter Horse a good 500kg, and Clydesdale/draught horse around 750kg or more for some breeds. When that mass moves suddenly and you’re in the way, you’ll definitely know about it.

Now here are some truly irrational people…from The Daily Telegraph.

“Spit Bridge protest organised by Newcastle coal obstructor Eric Serge Herbert

The man behind a peak hour protest that shut down the Northern Beaches’ Spit Bridge has been revealed as Eric Serge Herbert – the same activist sentenced to jail over a coal train blockade.

The climate action group which blocked Manly’s Spit Bridge on Tuesday morning has declared the incident is just the beginning of their plans to disrupt traffic.

A protest group which shut down the Spit Bridge during Tuesday morning’s peak hour is being organised by controversial activist Eric Serge Herbert, who was last year sentenced to 12 months in prison for his part in obstructing coal trains in Newcastle.

The group, Fireproof Australia, has pledged to continue causing transport chaos if its demands are not met, and threatened to block roads every day from April.

In a bid to gain supporters, Fireproof Australia is also paying contractors up to $50 per hour to stick flyers to the front doors of inner suburban homes – using money from a global group which funds climate activists.

The flyers are being distributed in the inner west and inner east, as well as the inner northern suburbs, where incumbent Liberal MPs could face a threat from progressive independents at the upcoming election.

The material invites residents to join a “local response meeting” but does not encourage locals to protest.

A Facebook event for a “Community Climate talk” organised by Fireproof Australia in Lewisham on Saturday indicates just one person attended.

Protestors plan to disrupt major Sydney roads once a week until April 1 if the government doesn’t pledge to meet the demands.

If the demands are still not met by the “deadline,” protestors plan to block roads every day.

Motorists on the Northern Beaches were brought to a standstill at the Spit Bridge in Mosman at about 8am on Tuesday when a group of Fireproof Australia activists sat down in the southbound lanes and refused to move.

Police dragged half a dozen protesters off the road soon after as heavy delays began to form, but the organisation issued a defiant post online declaring today’s incident was just the beginning.

“The longer that the government doesn’t give us our demands, the more people will be signing up to engage in this civil resistance to protect their communities,” Mr Herbert said.

The group is calling for the NSW government to establish a “sovereign air tanker fleet to fight fires,” install “effective air filters in schools, aged care and disability homes,” and commit to “rehoming bushfire survivors and ensuring that no one is left behind”.

Mr Herbert said the group is not campaigning for any other causes including tougher measures to combat climate change, and is focussed on “protection rather than prevention”.

Northern Beaches local and Member for Mackellar Jason Falinski blasted the protesters over the “stunt”, calling their attempt to halt traffic “unforgivable”.

“The A8 corridor is already one of the most congested roadways in Australia … Australian working families, are just trying to get to work, why they would do this is beyond me,” Mr Falinski said.

“This was such a waste of police resources, these protesters’ petulant behaviour is something you would expect from five year-olds.

“They’re not actually trying to change policy, they’re just trying to hurt people.”

The group is paying contractors to distribute its flyers through money from the global “Climate Emergency Fund”.

The group exists to “fund young, ultra-ambitious organizations that tell the truth about the climate emergency, disrupt normalcy, organize mass protests, and demand transformative change,” its website says.

Mr Herbert denied Fireproof Australia was linked to Blockade Australia, which obstructed freight trains in the Hunter last year.

He said he is no longer affiliated with Blockade Australia after cutting ties with the group.

Mr Herbert was released on bail in November pending an appeal of his sentence. He said he is not engaged in the protests directly, but is involved in organising Fireproof Australia’s activities.”

Just look at this shit, QLD “lifts restrictions”…except:

Ms D’Ath was expected to introduce legislation to Parliament on its return this week granting Chief Health Officer John Gerrard the ability to issue directions and the government the power to penalise people for failing to comply for an additional six months.

the potential for increased spread during the winter months or due to new variants of the virus, which they have warned might still be around the corner

People are falling for the “restrictions are being lifted” but this exact time last year “restrictions were lifted” too. We were maskless and free in QLD and went holidaying in maskless and free NSW this exact time last year. In fact we were freer this time last year.

Then winter came, as they’re warning this year again.

And also, punishment for the sake of punishment remains:

Asked during question time about when restrictions on entry to some hospitality and entertainment venues might be wound back, limits that some experts have warned could fuel radicalisation if left for longer than required, Ms Palaszczuk suggested such rules were still in place across the world and that she would take the advice of Dr Gerrard.

“she would take the advice of her compliant puppet Dr Gerrard who will tell her what she tells him to say”.

Richard Pusey: ‘Absolutely not guilty’ after allegedly posting image from scene of horror crash
Angelica Snowden
Journalist
@ang3snowden
20 minutes ago February 22, 2022

The man who filmed four dying police after a horror truck crash has pleaded not guilty to charges after allegedly posting an image from the scene online.

Richard Pusey, 44, also had his bail revoked in a brief court appearance on Tuesday, which he attended by telephone. Asked by the magistrate if he could see and hear the court he responded: “My pronouns are they them.”

The magistrate then asked if not guilty was the plea Mr Pusey would be entering. He said: “Absolutely”.

Pusey did not have a lawyer to represent him at the hearing and requested Victoria Police’s brief of evidence to be sent to him in prison.

He was thrown in jail on February 9 after he allegedly used an image of a dead officer in a profile picture to write about a Melbourne Porsche dealership.

In his review of a Melbourne dealership Pusey wrote insurance was inadequate for newly purchased cars “when you spend $333k-$550k” on them.

Pusey asked the magistrate at one point in the hearing “where is justice done?”, after he said the secretary of the Police Association Victoria Wayne Gatt made comments in the media last year about his case.

“Wayne Gatt made a statement stating that justice of Richard Pusey isn’t done in courts. Which raises the question of why am I here today,” he said.

He also described Victoria Police members as Mr Gatt’s “family” and said they kept “authorising charges to be sent to the department of prosecution”.

“Which doesn’t really make sense and seems contradictory to what Gatt said when he was describing justice for someone like myself isn’t done in court so I’m just a little bit lost as to why I’m being brought into a courthouse.”

After Pusey was sentenced last April, Mr Gatt said: “Judgement for people like this, it doesn’t happen at court. But it will happen.”

At Tuesday’s hearing, Pusey said he did not care that details about the charges he is facing would be released to the media.

“That’s fine just make sure I get front page,” he said.

It’s an unfortunate fact that’s dawning on me that this is as big a fight as the battle against communism that started this time last century was. It’s going to take decades and entire political parties and rigid ideological movements and entire countries battling each other via proxy wars to end this. Because this is an ideological movement as vast in its dreams of reshaping society for this century, as communism was last century.

And like communism last century, my grandkid’s will probably end up just accepting living under 50% of everything this lot want, as we did for the commies. I.e all the effort last century only succeeded in blocking or removing about half of their entire ideological platform from being implemented permanently and people declaring “we won!” as they pay 60% of their entire wages to the state and can’t look sideways without the approval of the Total State.

This whole thing will work out the same if we don’t learn how they failed to block it entirely.

Ben Roberts-Smith accused of instructing SAS how to execute

Perry Duffin
Senior Court Reporter
@perryduffin1
NCA NewsWire
An hour ago February 22, 2022

A former elite Commando soldier has accused Ben Roberts-Smith of instructing his squadmates to execute Afghan prisoners and cover up war crime murders during training exercises in Australia.

But Mr Roberts-Smith’s lawyers say the former Commando blames Mr Roberts-Smith after his soldiering career ended in a fatal car crash, missing bullets and a military prison.

Mr Roberts-Smith is suing Nine newspapers and journalists over allegations they published that he killed six prisoners, known as Persons Under Confinement (PUCs), while deployed in Afghanistan.

The Victoria Cross recipient denies every allegation of war crimes while Nine has been calling former Australian Defence Force soldiers to back up their claims.

The latest witness for Nine is known as Person 19 – a soldier who deployed to Afghanistan four times with the Commando unit.

The Commandos are frontline special forces soldiers who get up close with the enemy in dangerous missions.

Person 19 had joined the SAS and was assigned to Mr Roberts-Smith’s patrol in 2012 and was training with the unit in Australia ahead of a deployment to Afghanistan.

The troop was running “live fire” training where real bullets were being used as the SAS assaulted a mock-up Afghan village at Lancelin, a training area near Perth.

Some soldiers were dressed up as Afghan civilians, the court heard.

Person 19 told the court that the SAS patrol had secured a compound and detained one soldier, known as Peron 9, who was dressed in Afghan traditional robes.

Person 19 told the court Mr Roberts-Smith turned to another soldier and ordered him to execute Person 9.

“I want you to shoot the PUC,” Person 19 claimed Mr Roberts-Smith said.

“I remember that distinctly, it was unusual and I remember seeing the look on Person 9’s face… because no one expected to hear that phrase.”

Person 19 said the soldier being instructed by Mr Roberts-Smith either shot the ground or said “bang” to indicate Person 9 had just been executed.

At another training exercise at Bindoon, outside Perth, Person 19 said the SAS patrol was again simulating a raid on an Afghan compound.

Person 19 told the court, on Tuesday, that he recalled Mr Roberts-Smith was explaining that PUCs would be executed before officers arrived at the end of a real mission.

“That’s when any people we suspect of being enemy combatants we take them into a room and shoot the c***s,” Person 19 claims Mr Roberts-Smith said.

Person 19 also told the court that Mr Roberts-Smith and another patrol commander were saying that “throwdowns” could be used in assaults.

The court has previously heard “throwdowns” are when weapons or radios are placed on killed unarmed Afghans before their bodies are photographed.

The planting of such evidence could be used to justify illegal killings, the court has heard, and Mr Roberts-Smith has repeatedly denied he ever used throwdowns.

Mr Roberts-Smith has told the court he had never even heard of anyone in the SAS using throwdowns.

Person 19 told the court he had gone to a cafe, up the road from the Perth SAS base, with Mr Roberts-Smith when Mr Roberts-Smith spoke of “blooding” rookie soldiers..

“New members of the troop or patrol, who had never deployed before or shot anyone, had to prove their worth by having the fortitude to shoot a prisoner if required,” Person 19 told the court.

Mr Roberts-Smith has previously denied allegations, made by another SAS operator, that he ordered a rookie soldier to execute a captured Afghan in 2009.

Nine has never claimed Mr Roberts-Smith ordered the shooting but claims he stood by and let it happen, putting them at odds with their own witness to that claim.

Just five days before Person 19 was to deploy with Mr Roberts-Smith and the SAS his military career unravelled.

He told the court he left the Perth SAS base with a bag of ammunition, body armour and flashbang grenades in his car.

The elite soldier told the court he didn’t realise he had ammunition in the car and it was just an accident – but his car was stolen that night.

The court heard the car thief led police on a chase that ended in a fatality and numerous headlines.

Person 19 was investigated by the military police, charged for losing service property and prejudicial behaviour, and found guilty.

He served 42 days in a military prison, the court heard, and then the ADF discovered his girlfriend was living in his military-funded house without permission.

Person 19 told the court he lied on an official statement, telling the ADF his girlfriend did not live with him, but the truth came out.

That was the final nail in the coffin of Person 19’s military service and he was discharged in 2014.

“I was very disappointed, I lost a 14 year career because of a couple of very silly errors in judgment,” he told the court.

“It would ruin my career.”

Person 19 told the court he had limited contact with members of the SAS since leaving the military in 2014.

But he had remained in contact with a soldier called Person 10 both during the 2012 deployment and since then.

He told the court Person 10, while deployed in Afghanistan, phoned up and said Mr Roberts-Smith had punched him.

Person 10 was considering making a formal complaint, Person 19 said.

Person 19 claimed Mr Roberts-Smith had also called him to talk about the incident and Mr Roberts-Smith said “that c*** better not say anything or I’ll get him charged for war crimes”.

Person 19 also told the court he had gone kayaking with Chris Masters, one of Nine’s journalists facing the lawsuit, and had attended the Sydney launch of Mr Masters book about the SAS.

The trial continues.

Hopefully Kyle has first class security in place.
Taking on the Hollywhores could lead to Barb Di N and the other weely weely scary tough guys coming after him.

And remember, it won’t be too much longer before some twostix antecdedent, in the arrogance (and occasionally endearing cluelessness) of their youth, will be cursing your old fart self loudly and longly on some online space for your failures to identify and curb the tyranny before he even know how ‘tyranny’ was spelt. 🙂

The swings and roundabouts of human nature… 🙂 🙂

So far, the only thing that’s clear from the B R-S case is a high level of testosterone.
And being a bit mouthy.
Which is what I’d expect from the SAS types.
Are they expected to be soy boy beta’s?

From Russia Today. Harvard is an abomination.

Harvard law professor and author Laurence Tribe suggested that Fox News’ most popular host, Tucker Carlson, could be guilty of “treason” should Russia “wage war” on Ukraine. Tribe has since deleted the tweets, backpedaling on the accusation, however.

never truer…
I am obliged to confess I should sooner live in a society governed by the first two thousand names in the Boston telephone directory than in a society governed by the two thousand faculty members of Harvard University.

Motion to extend Emergencies Act approved in House of Commons

The NDP voted in favour alongside the minority Liberals, with some expressing concerns a ‘no’ vote would have toppled the government

Pay attention Canadian voters, this is what it looks like when you sell your soul, and sell out your citizens, for political power.

Precisely. However, I have never met a SAS type who was mouthy with outsiders.

I’m nowhere near the standard of KD’s statement on checking and verifying before blindly believing at 12.29 today but I made a similar point when Notabrain posted a link accusing the dead for 5 minutes Nobel winner, Luc Montaigner, of ‘controversial autism research’ because he dared to question the Cov19 narrative.
It was a clear ‘gotcha, you dumb unquestioning morons who have all been fooled’ attempt.

For my sins I copped this little gem:

I see one of the resident venom spewers has slithered out again

Which then ended with this complete lack of self awareness:

As an argument as to why my opinion should be shouted down in a torrent of personal abuse, yeah nah.

Sure petal, because venom spewing slitherer is a totally objective observation. Not personal abuse at all. And your opinion is greater than any potential criticism. Not that you are capable of discerning the difference.

Given that over my ‘residency’ at all versions of the Cat I have been exceedingly stingy with my venom, reserving it for the likes of the Toowoomba Weasel and IAmAnIdiot, with occasional digs at Munty, I resolve to do better.

“Rosie” has since day zero hidden her hand over mouth total support for all this through fake “doubting” – which is usually sneering and mocking of observable reality until it turns up in jack boots and smashes other people in the face.

A perfect summary. And her blatant, simpering retreat to the sweet old grandma, observant Catholic battler, brave and artistic European traveller persona is an insult to my intelligence.

As always, your mileage may vary.

Hey. Anybody still interested in block-chain mumbo-jumbo since Justin showed how easy the whole Crypto shebang can be closed down? Also wondering if any New Cat who got in on the Bitcoin action at $A90,000 in November last year is hanging on at $A50,000 today….

Just been gazing at my collection of Tulip Bulbs, South Sea Company (Bubble) stock, and Dot Com startup script with a tear in my eye for the good old days when the future of my huge investments in non-existent assets looked SMART!

Anyone else in a similar happy position?

Lol, yeah right. As if these parasitic numpties would for a milisecond consider effectively voting themselves out of office.

As a proud Wests (Balmain) Tigers man, I can only hope for the wooden spoon after 5, yes 5 captains are named.
In the modern game if one of your forwards is the real captain, I can understand co-captains because one of them is only on the field for half the game.
But 5 captains means you have no captains.

Not a Western Suburbs fan (North Sydney Bears rusted-on) but was living in Ashfield back in the late 1970s when Western Suburbs were contemplating moving, lock, stock & barrel, to Campbelltown and so the Leagues Club at Ashfield, in survival mode, offered life-memberships for $25 (fully paid up) .. I think the reasoning behind it was the club or at least the Ashfield premises might cease to exist in the near future .. they didn’t, obviously, so I’m still a life member .. no idea what the yearly membership is these days as I’m covered but still get all the members correspondence in the mail .. If I ever had reason to use it it the membership would be the most economical $25 I’ve ever spent ..
I do have a Wests jumper .. 1993 (Masterton Homes), the heavyweight material one in among my Bears collection ….

See. I was right once. Therefore I am right all the time. In future I don’t need approval from quarterwits.

So goes the logic that I have seen many times.

“Pay attention Canadian voters, this is what it looks like when you sell your soul, and sell out your citizens, for political power.”

I agree. Trudeau and the Liberals are propped up by the New Democratic Party (NDP), which is even more to the left than Trudeau’s Liberals. Both parties have long been emboldened, thanks to the craven weakness of the Canadian Conservatives, although the Conservatives, over the last few weeks, have finally begun to grow a spine. But for too long the Canadian Conservatives party has simply been Trudeau lite. That, combined with a low voter turnout, contributed to Trudeau’s win in September 2021 and he was still able to cobble together an alliance with the NDP.

Whilst they aren’t exactly similar, the situation in Canada has parallels with Victoria, where the balance of power in the upper house has been in the hands of a few unsavoury freaks….Fiona Patten, Samantha Ratnam and Andy Meddick.

Be careful who you vote for….because there will be consequences.

Exactly. May as well have 13 captains.

One captain. One vice captain. That’s all that’s needed in the ‘leadership group’.
