Volodymyr Zelensky’s home town’s blunt message: ‘Welcome to hell, Russians’
Ukrainians are ready to die for their country and their president
Anthony Loyd
in Kryvyi Rih
Friday March 04 2022, 8.30pm GMT, The Times

The blunt message was scrawled across a banner on a bridge over the entry road to Kryvyi Rih, the mining city whose most famous son, once a stand-up comedian, now leads his country in war. “Welcome to Hell, Russian Occupant”, it said.

“Comrade Ivan Ivanovich, I don’t think the locals are friendly..”

Well ive heard the most blatant smear/bullshit i think ive ever heard presented as fact on the ABCcess.

The bits I caught were basically name dropping every conservative figure/group in Australia with the “young fascists” complete with a actor based “interview” with its apparent ex-leader.

The height of their activities so far.
Getting kicked out of the nationals when they tried to branch stack.
Shitposing on 4 chan.
planning to move to a town and take over the council.
Having some meetings.

Seriously, try and listen to 5 minutes and see just how much propaganda their abc can squeeze in.

My general impression is that the French capital is doing very well, most shops have tenants, people everywhere, the beautiful La Samaritaine, closed since 2005 iirc reopened last year, the Bataclan also has gig posters plastered everywhere.
Hard to get the pulse of smaller regionals because it’s the off season though never did I see anywhere as depressing as say Melbourne’s Williamtown.

Regarding the Ukrainian Nazis, in WWII the occupying German army in the Ukraine had many local volunteers join the SS. They were anti-communist and, as that part of the world has a long history of antisemitism, they fitted in well with the Nazi ideals.

In 1944 they were sent to France to fight the French partisans, but they were no longer supporters of the German cause. They mutinied, killed their German officers and NCOs, and joined the French partisans.

At the end of the war they joined the French Foreign Legion rather than be sent home to the Ukraine where they would have faced summary execution or many years in the gulags.

It is nice to see that you are trying Struth’s ambit there, SRR.

You might have noticed that it does not work well for him, particularly when his melodrama and hyperbole leads him to claim some ridiculous and very obvious fabrication.

Finland, and to a lesser extent Sweden, need to think very very carefully about joining NATO.

Speedy – Not really. Putin is sensitive about former parts of the Tsarist Russian Empire/Soviet Empire joining NATO. Which doesn’t include Finnish snipers and Swedish gryphons.

Not so sure that ‘goodwill’ will extend to giving Finland a pass to join NATO. The Finnish border is very close to St Petersburg (Putin’s birthplace) but much much worse, exposes the Russian border to NATO from Latvia to Estonia and all the way up through Finland. Too big and undefendable. Russia will never acquiesce.

The issue with Ukraine is that they were earmarked as an essential part of the remanufactured empire, so it was unacceptable to Putin for Ukraine to join NATO.

The invasion has nothing to do with a reconstituted empire. This is about NATO encroachment and Ukraine was the last big piece of the puzzle. Russia has repeatedly expressed its alarm about NATO expansion. Think back to 1962. The Americans were apoplectic about Russian missiles in Cuba, 160 kms off the American coast but America expects Russia to be ok with NATO next door!
Bruce – I wrote a guest post on this that Dover put up today. Go and read it.

What has been mentioned nowhere is that IF the alliance HAD ALREADY admitted Ukraine then this war would never have happened. Putin would not have dared bite off Ukraine in such a circumstance.

True, but Ukraine has had many opportunities to defuse this situation since 2014, but didn’t. In fact, they prodded the bear on numerous occasions thinking that Russia ‘wouldn’t dare’. There comes a time when you have to stop believing your own press releases and Zelensky just wouldn’t do so. The invasion of Ukraine by Russia was as inevitable as night follows day.

Dunno, but i’ll take your word on it.
The important thing is that Central Intelligence funded the Ukrainian Nazis for many years in the [western] Ukraine and it took the Soviet Union, which was a far more ruthless outfit than Putin’s Russia, ten years to liquidate them.
In the meantime, Bandera, who musta been a Major War Criminal from WW2, if his Wiki entry is any guide, lived peacefully in West Germany.

Further to the Greens candidate….a joke is a joke and normally I wouldn’t care however insensitive the joke was. But the Greens and the progressive left are extremely sanctimonious and hypocritical when it comes to their political and ideological opponent’s history and if this person was standing for…say….PHON, the Libs or the Nationals and had made a bad taste joke about….say Christchurch….the left would be having a field day, it would be splashed across their ABC and the woman would have already quit as the candidate. Instead Bandt supports her. This says everything you need to know about the left and hypocrisy….and the reason they’re so unashamed in their hypocrisy is because the right have allowed it.

Some here seem to think NATO is really good- I don’t even know why it exists other than nice jobs for connected people.
NATO was set up to contain the Soviet Union which no longer exists.

It remains a practical military alliance, underwritten by a superpower. That can aid you to train your forces using the best of everyone’s tactics, techniques and procedures, simplify equipment acquisition and upgrade considerations (STANAG), gives you a voice and some teeth in international disputes you might otherwise lack, and is not a bureaucratic nightmare on the same level as the busybodies of the EU (who exist only because NATO was successful in proving that everyone in Europe could pull together without the usual suspects making it all about them). The mutuality and practical underwriting by the US military means that you can also get away with doing the bare minimum on your own territorial defence (as Germany did since Mutti Merkel took over), and send some experten here and there to avoid awkward questions being asked.

If you were a European leader concerned by events involving a certain former occupying power to your East, and not subscribed to the current Fuck Us! zeitgeist* over the last 3-4 weeks, you’d be criminally silly not to buy in.

It’s like certain 3rd world nations who perenially commit troops to UN Peacekeeping operations worldwide as a way to fund their militaries out of its budget (i.e. The rest of the world subsidises them). You’ll never see them outside the wire, but they are certainly inspection-ready when the UN auditor comes through to tick the boxes and OK the cheques.

This is all you need:

https://www.aemo.com.au/energy-systems/electricity/national-electricity-market-nem/data-nem/data-dashboard-nem#price-demand

Bearing in mind maximum demand in NSW is about 12000MW and base demand about 8000MW and there is already over 24000MW of installed wind and solar.

Since Leftwits are all about twisting words and corrupting meanings, it was the easiest thing to do.

You know all those sick, cancerous little memes they spent infiltrating into Western philosophy, culture and art since 1935? The ones metastasising into the woke parody of society we live in today?

That change of definitions shows us it goes the other way too.

Between the cultural immune reactions of UKIP, Brexit, Orangutan Bard, Democrats being toppled from everything from Governorships and school boards, to declaring they will not contest the 2022 mid-terms, the LDP and UAP becoming big and viable voices in Oz and the counter-infiltration of hard reality like energy security and converged defence and civil security organisations cannot do their jobs, I think we are not as irreversibly fucked-up as we first assume.

Sydney’s rental market availability has tightened to its lowest point since 2017.
National vacancy rates are at the lowest point on record, with availability in almost all cities falling over February.

Sydney’s rental market availability has tightened to its lowest point since 2017.
National vacancy rates are at the lowest point on record, with availability in almost all cities falling over February.
A shortage of available properties and an insufficient pipeline of new builds are driving an affordability crunch.

So our “leaders” and their bureaucratic “advisers” have decided now is the time to reinstate the immigration Ponzi. What a brilliant idea!

Five score and one days ago I slipped the surly bonds of Oz and departed for Asia. It took about 50 separate documents, 15 of which were for permission to leave this fair land, the rest for the visa, bat flu bullshit,entry permit and so on.

For the 4 months away was busy remedying 2 years of neglect on a couple of properties.

Coming back the worst part was the PCR test requirement. I debated going to a well run private hospital but, as it required a few hours travelling in the end opted for the local government run hospital. Big mistake.

We got there before 8AM, confusion all round as they required passport, ID card etc, then gave them back then needed them again. In the meantime took my blood pressure and weight for reasons unknown. They were weighing everyone including one poor bastard on crutches who had to be lifted onto the scales. They decided my BP was a bit high so I had to have it taken again, it was even higher the second time as I was getting pissed off but of course it was ignored.

About 9:30AM we were told to come back before 11AM for the test. We got back and waited with 40 or so others all sweltering under a tin roofed shade. We were each given a tube and a swizzle stick for the test but nothing was happening. When asked the nurses said they were waiting for the doctor to arrive to administer the test.

After 45 minutes this oblate spheroidal entity manifested itself-double masked with additional faceshield, gloved and a full length protection gown. It was the doctor with an attitude similar to Christ come to cleanse the temple.

She bobbed behind a perspex podium with two industrial strength gloves protruding from it, plunged her arms into the gloves which were then adorned with another set of gloves from one of the attendant nurses making her triple gloved.

The first victim appeared clutching his test tube and the swizzle stick . He had to do a weird sort of limbo dance with head craned back in order to get to the glove height for the stick to be jammed up his nostrils. I began to worry how I was going to deal with it and after few remarkably stoic people had been processed in a similar fashion it was my turn.

With a stiff neck, dodgy ankle and knee my limbo was not up to scratch so they had to sort of twist and push me down to get to the right height. Since my nose has been broken twice the upper reaches are very sensitive and with her attitude and no feeling through 3 pairs of gloves it was extremely painful. Most pain came from my nose but also ankle, knee, back and neck. I yelped as I batted her hand away twice before she finally secured a sufficient snot sample.

I suppose it at least it kept the locals amused.

We picked up the results the next day. They were negative which meant we could complete the online DPD form which is a new bullshit requirement to enter Australia in addition to the yellow customs form.

At the airport check in they looked at all the covid documentation plus the DPD form before issuing the boarding passes. Finally got back into Sydney last night. We got straight through the automated system without the need to present the extra documentation. However there was a disgraceful hour long immigration queue for all others that couldn’t use the auto system.

We did a rapid test at home this morning which, being negative meant we were free to roam NSW.

She was in my never humble opinion the best looking woman of the disco era, with the best voice. “By the rivers of Babylon….”

Yes, she has a lovely voice and is an attractive lady.

Boney M’s ‘Rivers of Babylon” is a remake, a cover version of Giuseppe Verdi’s “Chorus of the Hebrew Slaves” from “Nabucco”.

You can find the lyrics here, though I prefer to hear it sung in Italian. It’s interesting that this Psalm was written by David about events, the exile of the Jews to Babylon, which didn’t occur till many hundreds of years later. I’m sure that was also sung, I wonder how that music score went.

Oil Prices Pass $115 Barrel, White House Jen Psaki Says Russia To Blame for Joe Biden Gas Prices
March 4, 2022 | Sundance | 169 Comments

Within the book of instructions for the ideological Chicago crew (Alinsky peeps), there are chapters on how to create off-ramps to cloud their agenda. If they need a bigger cloud, they create a bigger crisis. The crisis then becomes the cover, the justification to explain the outcomes of their agenda.

In the latest example, the White House is shifting blame for massive gas price increases and overall U.S. inflation. The crisis in Ukraine then takes on a geopolitical angle and a domestic angle. Last year’s doubling of gas prices and the current increases are now being blamed on Russia. WATCH:
[at link below]

If they keep doing this, and the Ukraine conflict continues, you’ll be amazed at how many Americans will forget everything before (Biden policy) and believe all things bad in the economy are Russia’s fault.

Warnie became a serious poker player after leaving cricket behind. He partnered with Joe Hasham (world champ in Las Vegas) and together they won a number of tournaments. Always said he hated drugs but who would know. He bought the joint next to his ex and put up a big pile so that he could stay in touch with his kids. I think he bought and sold a few places over the journey so that with the poker wins and the TV commentary here and elsewhere probably contributed to that 50m estate.

That’s right up there with the time where she once tried to claim that 220+ years of recorded history showing that Australia is a very hard place to farm and exploit arable land resources the further inland you go was a set of elitist lies designed to talk Australia down and prevent its allegedly abundant resources being used up before the Elites could all settle here, exterminate the population and have it all for themselves.

And drive down her rural property values.

She didn’t like being reminded about the Soldier-Settlers, the ghost town of Quorn in the Flinders Ranges of SA, nor the fact that in the last 100 years every idea that has been proposed for catching uncatchable water flows in unreliable wet seasons (Y’know, those ‘Droughts and Flooding Rains’we blame on Climate Change and coal burning now) has been knocked back on grounds of crippling cost, which is a nice way of saying it they were engineering impossibilities…

Looks like there is going to be a march of some sort up Rue de Rivoli shortly, street blocked to motor vehicles, a modest atm police presence.
I’m assuming in support of Ukraine.
What would a couple of days in Paris be without?

nor the fact that in the last 100 years every idea that has been proposed for catching uncatchable water flows in unreliable wet seasons (Y’know, those ‘Droughts and Flooding Rains’we blame on Climate Change and coal burning now) has been knocked back on grounds of crippling cost, which is a nice way of saying it they were engineering impossibilities…

I wouldn’t say impossibilities, spec not engineering impossibilities.
Everything is possible within, limits, if you put your mind to it, at least in this area.
Problem is that the cost-benefit calculations said no then and saying no now, but we don’t know what the future holds, and vast amounts of money were and are being spent on far more useless enterprises, for no discernible benefit to society.

I did walk up to St Paul for midday mass.
In the chapel they said, but the side chapels in the church are too small.
I looked for clues, the side doors were open, then I saw a petite lady walking purposely towards them, I hastened to follow her, out the doors, through an unlocked gate and down a narrow passage running alongside the church, I felt a bit like a potential mugger, but then she opened a door and asked me to close it behind us.
A pretty place in white and gold, with an upstairs choir, it might have belonged to the Jesuits who once had a seminary behind the church, now the Charlemagne school (sorry for the trigger dot)

Long-term cardiovascular outcomes of COVID-19
The cardiovascular complications of acute coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) are well described, but the post-acute cardiovascular manifestations of COVID-19 have not yet been comprehensively characterized. Here we used national healthcare databases from the US Department of Veterans Affairs to build a cohort of 153,760 individuals with COVID-19, as well as two sets of control cohorts with 5,637,647 (contemporary controls) and 5,859,411 (historical controls) individuals, to estimate risks and 1-year burdens of a set of pre-specified incident cardiovascular outcomes. We show that, beyond the first 30 d after infection, individuals with COVID-19 are at increased risk of incident cardiovascular disease spanning several categories, including cerebrovascular disorders, dysrhythmias, ischemic and non-ischemic heart disease, pericarditis, myocarditis, heart failure and thromboembolic disease. These risks and burdens were evident even among individuals who were not hospitalized during the acute phase of the infection and increased in a graded fashion according to the care setting during the acute phase (non-hospitalized, hospitalized and admitted to intensive care). Our results provide evidence that the risk and 1-year burden of cardiovascular disease in survivors of acute COVID-19 are substantial. Care pathways of those surviving the acute episode of COVID-19 should include attention to cardiovascular health and disease.

This is from this afternoon. It is,of course, St.Ruth:

“We’ve had some fun with your “I surrendered because I did it for others” schtick over at the furniture shop, kneel!”

As it turned out, and because I was bored and tired after being a pirate all day, and because I had a look at it, it wasn’t ‘we’ at all.

It was three posts, one after another, all from St. Ruth, and all wordwalls.

Including this bit:

Now just for the readers here.
This level of argument to my mind is also lacking a Christian thought process.

Nobody’s bothered to answer this, which probably (slightly) lifts my opinion of the other Shop people.

Okay, call it impracticalities.

The point remains that the initial ambit was off-the-wall, and trying to point the unfashionable reality did not go well.

But the accusation I was somehow driving her property prices down by saying so was the most interesting part.

It seems that ‘Christian’ is now solely a descriptor for the unvaxxed, devoid of any other meaning.
There must have been an eleventh commandment most of the rest of us missed.

I remember a day long enthusiast discussion here, about the feasibility of replacing Australia’s eucalypt forests with rain attracting European trees to change the climate.
Don’t know whether Australia dried out by itself or firestick farming changed it.

Streaming service Stan showed the Super Rugby match between the NSW Waratahs and ACT Brumbies tonight.
Half time analysis had David Pocock being interviewed on the sideline.
Short rugby discussion followed by a leading question about his political career, giving him several minutes to describe how selfless and noble he is.
He came across as boring, inarticulate, and sluggish on his feet.
In short, he’s put his head into too many rucks.
One of the best rugby players I’ve seen though.

Horrible week – best friend of my wife passed away Thursday morning – ovarian cancer. 47 with a 10yr old son and husband.

Scanning in some old photos for them tonight – family a bit lost and many helping organise her funeral next Friday.

School teacher – so very large community – church will be overflowing, tears too.

Ok let’s bring it back here if you want to grandstand amongst those who are only too willing to see themselves as heros for taking the jab.

“We’ve had some fun with your “I surrendered because I did it for others” schtick over at the furniture shop, kneel!”

I make no claim to thinking of “the community” or otherwise in my choices, merely that what and who matters to me most, most affects my choices.

Meanwhile, you – who has not been forced into such a choice

Excuse me?

– attempt to poke fun at my situation and my choices. Not very gentlemanly or ethical in my view, but do as you will. Your rants show your true colours, and I leave it to others to decide who is making the more moral choices here. I have made mine based on what is appropriate for me,

fuck everyone else

and expect others to do the same. I would have preferred that the government did not force such distasteful choices upon me, but I cannot change the past.

That you aim such propaganda at me as some sort of defense, when I have clearly stated many times that I find the mandates to be utterly and completely wrong is, quite frankly, disgusting.

You stating something sir, means SFA.

Your lack of ability to take the nuances and variations of different people into account, and instead make it a simple black and white, good vs bad case shows, in my view, the shallow nature of your position and the weakness of your argument. It seems that you are taking the position that any who do not agree with you in the entirety of your position are wrong and to be derided. Quite pathetic – even childish. But then, you have already shown a complete lack of empathy,

If you don’t take the jab you have no empathy…..I see

and the willingness to judge others based on incomplete knowledge here before, so in truth I am hardly surprised that you have not changed or learned – such absolutists as you present as here rarely do, often to their own detriment.
My hope that presenting “the other side” might make you more carefully consider was clearly in vain, however others may benefit from it, and if so, the effort was not wasted. And so I will continue to “waste my time” pointing such out to you, however much you may despise me – it is not always about you, regardless of your narcissism and self pride.

So….

In response to this dribble.

It is simple.
And it is black and white.

Your choices are detrimental to you, the ones you love, and to your fellow man.
And to me.
And to my loved ones.

Own it.

You may have noticed, there are people who are suffering now because they did not give in to tyranny.
Probably a few million in Australia easily.
What do you say to them?
If no one had given in, they wouldn’t be suffering now.
Who owns that?
You pompously speak as if I am the only one standing up to this.

Do you wish to ignore the millions who won’t surrender, and attempt to suggest it’s only me?

You can blovate in front of your vaxxed mates who wish people like me would go away.
They cheer you on because it sooths their guilt.
“Why can’t these unjabbed arseholes losing everything to fight just move on !!
I mean, FFS, what is done is done.
So we’ve all become good Nazis and flash our pass everywhere, we’ve moved on, why can’t they.
What’s done is done, and us good Nazis want to forget it”.

Of course you do.

You want to move on, however, we millions are still out here, segregated and discriminated against, because we chose to stand.
Some losing everything.
Don’t self righteously excuse yourself to me.
Especially claiming some sort of virtue signalling empathy for doing so.
Do it to the millions who did not fold.

I repeat, you haven’t helped yourself, the ones you care about or your countrymen, and pulling the victim card in a few long winded paragraphs falls on deaf ears when those ears are sacrificing to fight this.
Spare me.

Just say you made a mistake, or your missus threatened you and you weren’t man enough to control your woman when she threatened to leave you if she didn’t let the kids get jabbed, or you were really pissed…., or you thought you were getting a tattoo……..whatever.
You failed at a crucial moment.

I’d be on your side in an instant, and there with my hand out to shake it and call you brother.

But talking to those that have lost everything because you didn’t stand up to this as well, in the fashion you are, is , well, to put it mildy , a bit rich.

And most of my scorn were for people gleefully using their good nazi passes once they got the jab, the only reason you and millions got the jab, claiming they just felt like it was “right for them” when they knew it came with a passport.
THEY KNEW THAT IT CAME WITH A PASSPORT and still did it. For a disease they knew they were going to survive.
And the people now segregated , who have lost everything, to fight against this are all supposed to be polite little people and let you all move on as if nothing happened.
Well, it’s still happening to me and millions of others.

So the mirrors aren’t going anywhere.

“Sorry Mr Churchill, but I’m surrendering to the Nazis”.
“Fighting wars could mean I won’t be able to look after my family or see my old mum”.
“I can keep looking after my family if I surrender”.
“Hitler promised”.
“Good luck with the war, I’m sure others will fight”.
“Oh, and just so you know, I support you all the way”.

I am saddened by the passing of Warnie, but am also becoming irritated by his constant deification in the press and on the idiot box.

Sure, I’m old, but I remember equally the legend that was Rod Marsh behind the wickets, and the triumvirate: Lillee, Thommo, Marshie. Sadly, his death seems to have been pushed aside in the obscene haste to flaunt Warnie on our screens.

“Ashes to ashes
And dust to dust
If Lillee don’t get you
Then Thommo must.”
