How many people do you know who have been forcibly taken to the “Deaf Camps”?

Fuck you people are dumb.

Nice hyperlinks you got there, Struth-sock.

None of them are being murdergenocided, which is your thought-leader’s impassioned claim.

Who is denying reality now?

Of more than 531 respondents, 60 per cent have either applied or are considering applying for a job outside the NT Police, which has also led to doubling attrition rates since last year, the survey showed.

Nearly half cited the murder charges against Constable Zach Rolfe as their reason for wanting to leave the police force.

Well, that’s shocking, isn’t it? I can see the NT, in a reasonably short time, having practically zero law and order for the entire Territory. That situation would have to lead to a general population exodus as well.

Struth needs more practice at this sock account business.

The key word was “Deaf” (the Queensssland pronunciation of “Death”).
With a 4″ gas main plumbed straight to the showers.

No, like you I suspected it from the start – don’t say you “knew”, you did not, you suspected.

No, I knew.
And my behaviour right at the start and what I said on the old cat proves it.
The reason was obvious.
You don’t go outside of the constitution and shut down businesses and the healthy without being at war with that nation, ……it was because they so completely left the constitution behind, I knew we were fucked from the start.

But now there is evidence.
Evidence they will obfuscate and hide.
They will claim “listening to experts” etc.

I am not angry they overreacted, I’m angry they didn’t correct it! I’m angry they didn’t trust us.
Always have been.

They didn’t over react, they did what they were told to do by traitors and the enemies of the west.

This “they panicked ” routine, spare me.
There was evidence they needed hanging on the first day.

My point is that, we shouldn’t let it go. That saying “You’re all idiots, I told you so” doesn’t do much to prevent it happening again, does it? Even if it’s true.

In those words I hear “we hate being wrong and you coming in proving it is giving us the shits”.

I was called a nanna killer, asked how many nannas would I be prepared to kill to play my gigs, a tin foil hat conspiracy theorist and all sorts of sick stuff when in reality there were very few of us who hadn’t lost our shit to propaganda.

Mention WEF…scoffed at, still are.

There’d be a passport…scoffed at etc.
Spent too much of my time trying to calm down Notafan and others….but they were lost.
The smart arses were at it day and night, and now I, and others like twostix have been proven right……..hey struth, let’s forget it and move on.
A lot of that going around these days.

Now you want me to play nice?
Be fucked.
Too late for that.
This place was an insane asylum of scoffing for two years, and some are still carrying on.

So stop gloating about how you were “right” (whether you were is not is irrelevant)- unless you think that it has not affected you at all, and I know that’s not true. Can’t be true, because we are ALL affected.

As above, you want me now,…..oh now……to forget the arsehole smug wrongology and abuse, and move on.
Not in my world mate.

Look, I get that you are mad. I get that you are being abused etc.
What are you, a 5 year old?
If you got your back up at the abuse you copped, what makes you think that others won’t feel and do the same when you abuse them?

No I’ve been dealing with a few 5 year olds that have tried to run this blog away from the truth by being smart arses.
They don’t do it to just me either.
I wonder how many felt at ease with getting the jab because while I and a few others were saying don’t get the jab, they were poo poo ing us?
What would struth know, he’s from Queensland….etc.
Stupid, very irresponsible shit.
People have got to now go through the rest of their lives knowing they fucked up getting the jab, and any second…………………..
That’s low and disgusting.
For example.
Did Frank’s constant dismissing of the truth presented help you decide to get the jab?
Not you in particular Kneel.
Any of you?
The whole team of denialists here poo poo ing every truth that has now been proven?

You changed (as you should have) when I made an argument without throwing abuse at you.
THINK for fucks sake!

I told you I didn’t change.
I said you weren’t in denial, don’t let it go any further, that’s all.

Make a difference – you can.
But only if you want to – and only if you can control yourself.

I know where I’m making a difference and I know there are some influential people who read this blog, or I wouldn’t be here.
Keep that in mind when you become concerned with the tone of my posts, because I’m not here to make friends.

The rest is up to you.

Sorry if it sounds preachy or whatever – I am no less human than anyone else.
Make a choice on making a difference. And live with that choice.

I’m sorry Kneel, but all I see is now the smart arses who have been serving up the shit for two years, start looking like the dildos they are, then I should back off and we can all sing Kumbaya together.
A bit convenient.
Remember the left only scream about standards when they start copping their type of shit, back.

Struth,

I am with you. The anger is sometimes too much for me. Although I am fortunate in having farmland surroundings to reduce this rage – as well as the anxiety – after over a year of researching this travesty I am “pretty wound up”.

I am still astonished that I had to obtain travel permits to leave our area to travel to Sydney, and had to show these documents at roadblocks. Yes, lockdowns were shocking, but, my God, ROADBLOCKS and TRAVEL DOCUMENTS??? And yet people are in a rage over the dreaded Putin and Russian autocracy……!

Although personally I did not suffer the humiliation and abuse that other unvaccinated friends encountered, I profoundly resented not being able to have a haircut, buy clothes and household goods from the usual venues because of my unacceptable “status”.

But Struth, all these shameful government denials of liberty are nothing compared to the dread I still have that my vaccinated dear ones will fall ill from these substances that they have been injected with.
Grandson had a recent angina attack when stressed, and granddaughter had upper abdominal bleeding that an endoscopy could not explain. This is what maintains my rage – a rage which will never be resolved.

Would it be trafficking in State Secrets (and thus actionable) if you explained your recipe, Bruce?

I don’t think I’ve ever had Limoncello.

Not at all, Rex.

This how my wife and I like it.

This is per 700mL of vodka — 40% abv if you can get it. Do NOT use potato-based vodka; it won’t work at all.

• Put the vodka into a wide-mouth sealable jar.

• Add the peel from 6 – 8 medium-ish lemons — use a really good peeler because you want only the outer skin, not the white pith which is bitter. (If you use store-bought lemons wash them in hot water first to get rid of any wax on the skin.)

• Seal and store in a cool place (like the pantry) for 10 days, gently swirling each day.

• Pour the liquid, peel and all, through a colander into a large jug or bowl. (Let it drip drain for a few minutes to get it all.)

• In another bowl, pour 1/2 cup (125mL) of boiling water onto 3/4 cup white sugar and stir continuously until the sugar dissolves — you will have a thick syrup.

• Add the syrup to the vodka-lemon mix and again stir well.

• Decant into a bottle (or bottles) with a good sealing lid.

• Now comes the important bit — Put your bottle(s) into the freezer and forget about it/them for at least 7 days. Over this time your limoncello will mellow considerably. It should not freeze because of the alcohol content. (Although I gave some to friends who put it in a commercial grade freezer at -25° C and it did freeze!)

Serve straight from the freezer, icy cold. (I store mine there.)

Some people like it sweeter, but we find it gets cloying with too much sugar. I would never go past a cup of sugar, but that’s just my taste.

Just out in the Oz:

Zachary Rolfe spoke with Kristin Shorten in 2019. These are his words.

My name is Zach Rolfe. I am a Northern Territory police officer.

I was born in Canberra and grew up here.

My mum Debbie is a lawyer and my dad Richard is a car dealer. I have two older brothers who are twins.

I finished Year 12 in 2009 and in 2010 I joined the army.

I was posted to 1RAR in Townsville. I spent five years in the infantry and was deployed to Afghanistan in 2014.

In 2016 I joined the NT Police. I’d never been to the NT before that.

Upon graduation from the police academy in December 2016 I moved straight down to Alice Springs, which had been my first preference for a posting.

From what I’d heard it was the busiest station and the most volatile environment so I’d wanted to dive into the deep end and learn my craft down there.

The move was definitely eye-opening. To be honest, for the first few weeks in Alice I would have felt more comfortable in Kabul. It was a completely different world to Canberra where I’d grown up.

But I quickly adjusted and I loved the work. I still love it. I loved the station and working with the boys and girls on the ground.

My short-term goal was to master general policing down there before eventually applying for the Territory Response Group up in Darwin.

I applied for TRG because I want to be in that specialist unit and do the jobs that they do. To me, that’s the pinnacle of policing.

I successfully completed TRG selection in August 2018 and was waiting for a spot to open up.

Zachary Rolfe, photographed by the local paper after he rescued two tourists from a raging river just a week into his police career. Picture: Grenville Turner

In the meantime, I was happy in Alice Springs. Policing down there is very busy.

Most of our jobs are with the Indigenous community. They’re mostly domestic violence offences, alcohol-related violence offences and property offences such as break-ins.

There’s probably a higher level of violence towards police there than in other areas. I think most police in Alice Springs have been assaulted.

Since the incident at Yuendumu, NT Police have been labelled racist, but it’s simply not true.

I personally don’t care what race anyone is. I never have and never will. Race will never affect how I police or my perception, regardless of how many jobs we attend. I care about people’s behaviour, not their race.

Also, I honestly have not witnessed racism among my colleagues during my time policing.

I’ve had a number of complaints against me about use of force. They have all been investigated and, in all cases, I’ve been cleared.

Those incidents all required force to be used. That force was never excessive – it was relative to the situation on the day.

I’m a member of the Immediate Response Team (IRT) which is a semi-tactical group in Alice Springs used for high-risk jobs and high-priority arrest targets.

It depends on the job and how long we expect to be away but generally we deploy as a minimum team of four.

On Saturday November 9 I was rostered for an evening shift starting at 3pm and ending at 1am.

At 2.30pm I was just about to leave my house to go into work when I got a call from the sergeant saying that I was being sent, as a member of the IRT, to Yuendumu to arrest Arnold Walker.

Walker was a high priority arrest target because of his propensity for violence.

Information on the ground indicated that when he was at Yuendumu, he was the most prolific “breaker” in the community.

We were aware that since being released from prison in October Walker had breached his parole by cutting off his Electronic Monitoring Device and that he had returned to Yuendumu.

We were also aware that on Wednesday November 6, a few days prior to the IRT being deployed, he had assaulted two local police with an axe during an attempted arrest.

The officers involved are extremely lucky because they both could have been seriously injured or killed that day.

Immediately after that November 6 incident, the Remote Sergeant at Yuendumu started negotiating with the family of Walker’s partner for them to bring him into the local police station to be peacefully taken into custody.

The family had stated that they would comply but three days after the axe incident they still hadn’t surrendered him.

Walker was a fit, strong young man and the Yuendumu police realised they needed a higher response in order to arrest him, so on Saturday November 9 the Sergeant requested the IRT attend.

We were going to arrest him – not just for the breach of parole as has been reported – but also for assaulting police with an axe and then damaging their vehicle.

On November 9, we were briefed on the general details at the police station in Alice Springs but we didn’t have much intelligence or know where he was, so the plan was to get to Yuendumu and gather further information there.

I’d never been to Yuendumu before November 9.

Two of the IRT members were senior police officers. Myself and another member had military experience. We also went out there with a K9 handler and his German Shepherd.

We travelled in three vehicles.

The dog handler left before us and started performing active patrols upon arrival in Yuendumu.

Soon after, myself and the other three IRT members left Alice Springs in two vehicles.

We arrived at the Yuendumu police station at about 6.30pm and had a quick intel briefing there with the Remote Sergeant, Julie Frost.

I got maps of the area and we left the Yuendumu police station just before 7pm.

It was coming to dusk. There was ambient light outside but inside houses it was getting dark.

Each of us had Tasers, Glocks, pepper spray and batons. One of the boys was carrying a beanbag shotgun and another was carrying a rifle.

The other boys were wearing their police-issued load bearing vests with armour inside.

I was wearing covert body armour under my general duties police shirt. That’s just my preference as it’s a bit lighter and I can move better in it.

We all had body-worn cameras on and as soon as we stepped out of the cars, those cameras were rolling.

First, we attended the house where the axe incident had occurred on November 6 and a man there informed us that Walker was at another group of houses approximately 600m away.

Unfortunately, because we only had the light information that it could have been any one of the three houses, we couldn’t put in a proper cordon.

So, two of the IRT guys and the K9 handler acted as spotters on the external sides of the houses in case Walker ran.

Myself and another officer just started talking to the people in the yard, asking them for information and whether they’d seen Walker or his ‘wife’ Rickisha.

Everyone who we spoke to, who turned out to be his family, told us that they had not seen him, didn’t know where he was and that he definitely was not inside the house where we found him.

Myself and my partner walked into the middle house – the red house – and immediately bumped into a man matching Walker’s description on his way towards the front door.

He approached us and tried to walk past us. We asked him his name and he told us it was Vernon Dickson.

At that point, the man’s hands were empty which is why I got so close to him.

I asked him just to stand next to the wall while I put my phone next to his face to compare him to the mugshot I had saved.

The mugshots aren’t ideal but I could see that it was Walker and slipped my phone back into my pocket.

I tried to keep him calm, told him that everything was fine and asked him to put his hands behind his back.

He then reached into his pocket and grabbed the scissors.

At that point, as fast as it can, the interaction escalated from nothing to 100 per cent.

Walker hit me twice in the head and I could tell from boxing experience that he was hitting me wrong. He wasn’t using his fists and his hand was angled a bit differently.

Then I looked at his right fist and saw a metal blade before I felt it penetrate my shoulder which I was using to protect my neck.

I didn’t immediately identify the weapon as a pair of scissors but that doesn’t change what I would’ve done. You can still kill someone extremely easily with a pair of metal scissors.

I then hit Walker, giving him a quick jab and stepping back to create distance.

My partner hadn’t observed the blade and stepped in, going hands-on with Walker, to effect the arrest.

At this point, I observed Walker strike my partner in the chest and neck area with the blade multiple times.

I pulled out my Glock and fired one round into the back of Walker’s torso, to no effect.

I completely understand why people without the knowledge would ask why I didn’t go for my taser but the taser is an ineffective tool when you’re in such close proximity. You can’t trust the taser to work where there’s the threat of death.

Capsicum spray is good to avoid a fight that hasn’t happened yet or split up a posturing fight but it wouldn’t have stopped the struggle. It would have just stung and potentially blinded all of us in the room.

The non-lethal accoutrements I had on me at the time would have been ineffective in that close-quarter situation where there was the risk of serious harm or death.

And I was in immediate fear that any one of those blade strikes could have caused serious harm or death to my partner.

As per our training at the police academy an edged weapon is a lethal weapon and the response is to use your Glock if required. I just followed my training.

I had never shot anyone before that encounter.

As soon as the first shot was fired, I could hear screaming and wailing outside.

My partner and Walker stumbled and fell onto a mattress on the ground.

The first round did nothing to neutralise the threat.

I saw Walker continue to strike multiple times at my partner’s neck area, so I fired two more rounds into Walker.

It wasn’t until after the third round that he stopped trying to stab my partner.

That was the minimum force that was effective in stopping that threat to life.

Obviously, it was difficult in that environment and in that close quarter scuffle, but if I wasn’t confident that I could take those shots without putting my partner at risk I wouldn’t have.

After the third shot I holstered my Glock and pushed my partner off him, out of the way, and rolled Walker on to his stomach.

I saw that he had a pair of metal surgical scissors in his right hand.

I ordered him to let go of the scissors and when he refused, I tried to pull them out of his hand.

I repeatedly demanded he let go of the scissors but he wouldn’t and continued fighting us. He also stated that he was going to kill us.

My partner eventually pried the scissors from his fingers and flung them on the floor.

Walker was still trying to fight us so we handcuffed him and I was about to glove up to provide first aid when another IRT member at the door informed us that we had to leave as there was now a threat to our safety.

He had observed community members flocking to the house and perceived them to be violent and aggressive.

We picked Walker up by his armpits and quickly carried him outside to the police vehicle.

My partner and I lifted him into the cage on the back before climbing in to render first aid on the way to the police station.

It was about a two-minute drive and at that time he still had a lot of fight in him, so we searched him for weapons before removing his handcuffs and assessing his injuries.

There were no medical staff at the clinic. They had been evacuated from Yuendumu earlier that day due to fears for their safety. So, we drove to the police station and got Walker out.

We stripped him down to his underwear to better assess his injuries before moving him into the police station for treatment.

We laid him down in a cell in the watch house side of the police station because it’s the cleanest part of the police station and close to the first aid equipment.

Myself and the other IRT member with military experience had the most medical experience so together we took charge of the first aid and did what we could with the resources that we had.

Walker would have been suffering from a mix between a pneumothorax and a hemothorax, which is where the air is released from a penetrated lung into the chest cavity.

We sealed the wounds as best we could with a three-sided bandage to allow the air to escape his lungs without increasing pressure in his chest cavity.

There was not much more we could do with the kit that we had except to maintain observations on him and get the defibrillator ready in case his heart stopped.

Walker had sustained priority one injuries which meant that he needed to reach a surgical ward within an hour for any chance of survival.

For the first 70 minutes, Walker was still moving, talking to us and holding our hands.

We were just trying to make him comfortable and reassure him, despite our concerns.

He was just saying that he felt funny which was normal as he started going into shock.

For 70 minutes he was still with us and talking to us, so we kept him alive past the golden hour but unfortunately, due to the lack of medical resources available, we could not keep him alive beyond that.

The Sergeant had been attempting to get other medical resources to our location but it was too dangerous for RFDS to land their plane because the community was nearly rioting at this point.

The two nurses who did manage to reach our location that night from Yuelamu – these nice ladies in their 60s and 70s – were assaulted by the community.

Rocks were thrown at their ambulance and one of the nurses was hit on the head.

Meanwhile Walker wasn’t in pain, he was just getting tired, and then quietly passed away.

We conducted CPR for another half an hour after that but there were no signs of life.

At that point we had to start worrying about security.

From inside, we could hear the community throwing rocks at the police station.

There was communication between the police and the community outside but the decision was made not to immediately inform the community that night that Walker had died for security reasons.

We felt that the threat to police and medical staff – due to how it looked like the community would react – was too high.

There was a plan to evacuate the police station. We had loaded all of our kit into vehicles and we were ready to go but as we were about to step off an assistant commissioner in Alice Springs directed us to return to the station as reinforcements would be sent to us.

Six police officers then flew out from Alice Springs on a small police air wing plane.

They had to circle above Yuendumu until it was safe to land because there were community members on the air strip.

At about 11pm, we did a quick convoy out to the plane. The extra police members got off the plane and I hopped on.

I returned to Alice Springs because I needed medical treatment for my stab wound and for the purposes of the investigation.

I landed in Alice Springs just before midnight and went to the hospital where my wound was cleaned and patched up. After I was treated and given a tetanus shot – and detectives seized my clothes – I returned to the police station where I spoke with the lead investigator of the incident at that time.

He had already watched the body-worn video (BWV) and informed me that my actions had been cleared through justification. They were now just following up on authorisation which was the administrative side involving questions like whether I was wearing the correct police uniform and had power of entry.

The lead investigator informed me that he’d be in touch with me later that day because it was now Sunday morning, to get my statement, and I returned home at about 3am.

I got a few hours’ sleep before returning to the police station on Sunday where I met with the police psychologist who cleared me to return to work.

By then the Northern Territory Police Association had put me in touch with lawyers who advised me to decline a police interview at that time.

I was rostered for two days off and had planned to return to work as normal on Wednesday.

Initially I didn’t believe there would be any ramifications from the incident. It was a clean shoot.

There was footage of it from both myself and my partner’s body-worn camera.

Tuesday morning, I woke up with a number of the NTPA members knocking on my door to inform me that my name had been released on social media.

I did expect, because Alice Springs is such a small community and a number of hospital staff were aware of what had happened, that my name would be released. I just didn’t expect it to happen so soon.

I started receiving threats through social media. We were taking them seriously. There were definitely legitimate concerns for my safety that day.

NT Police assistant commissioner Narelle Beer then asked me to go to Darwin but I declined.

Meanwhile, my mum was on her way to Alice Springs. As a result of the incident, she had organised to come up for two nights to catch up and check that I was OK.

After she landed, we decided that I should take a few weeks’ leave and get out of town. At this point I was in no trouble that I was aware of.

Then on Tuesday afternoon AC Beer said that it was now a direction that I travel to Darwin, which is an order that I have to obey or disciplinary issues would follow.

So, on Tuesday afternoon mum and I flew to Darwin and stayed at the police visiting officers’ quarters (VOQ’s).

On Wednesday in Darwin the police brass kept stalling about a decision on where I was to go from there so at about 3.30pm I called my police liaison – a superintendent in Darwin – and informed him that I’d be on a flight the following morning, Thursday morning, to Canberra.

An hour later five detectives rocked up to the VOQ and placed me under arrest for murder.

They transported me to the Darwin watch house where they processed me and put me in the cell for about five hours before charging me with murder.

After that there was an out-of-session court hearing for a bail consideration with the on-call judge.

The detectives read out – to the judge over the phone – the statement of facts, which was about 90 per cent correct.

Police denied me bail but informed the judge that if I was willing to follow their bail conditions, they were happy to approve bail.

The judge granted me bail if I agreed to leave the NT, reside at my parent’s house in Canberra, sign into a police station every week, relinquish my passport and have no contact with the police officers who were at Yuendumu on November 9.

I feel like I was ambushed and flown to Darwin because it would have been more difficult to have me arrested in Alice Springs where the investigative team had all seen the BWV and knew what had happened.

A couple of hours after the shooting, the BWV was on the police system.

I still get mad every now and then about the treatment from the NT Police brass.

I feel like they threw me under the bus.

They had evidence that cleared me yet they still arrested me for murder.

The leadership sacrificed me to appease a crowd which is not what a good leader would do. A good leader should take the hits. If they have a win, they should give it to the team. And if the team has a loss, a good leader takes the loss.

They should have stood up and told the truth or just released the BWV if they didn’t want to defend me themselves.

I want to tell my story because the NT Police didn’t stand up in front of the media and tell the truth.

It is extremely unfortunate that Walker passed but I did what I had to do to protect my partner and myself. I had been stabbed but my main concern at the time was my partner, who has a wife and kids.

Walker put us in that situation. He put my partner’s life at risk and my own life at risk.

I would not do anything differently. I do not wish I’d done anything differently.

All I can say is that I’m not racist. I don’t care what race anyone is. All I care about is behaviour.

To put it as bluntly as I can, if a white guy stabbed me and tried to stab my partner, I’d shoot him just the same.

Son’s partner suffers from Crohn’s. Last time they visited I had a good old-fashioned Apricot Chicken ready to cook for dinner. Sorry… can’t: French onion soup mix a no-no. While they were inspecting the progress of new house, I Googled ‘Crohn’s chicken recipes’ and came up with a tasty chicken and honey mustard dish, along with dozens of other options I can use in the future.

Even so, I’ll always hang on to my cookbooks.

You’re sane if you are fuming white hot with rage, but we must channel it and make sure it doesn’t consume us.
Being in denial is worse for those suffering it, because they no longer own themselves, they’re jabbed and it plays hugely on their minds.
No matter how bad it gets, don’t get jabbed, for mental and physical health.

What is coming next and after that, as this war against us, to enslave us, continues, means none of us , jabbed or unjabbed are going to be without suffering, and who’s to say they won’t be punishing the unjabbed and killing them?

QLD solar farm flooded; short circuits:

The Courier Mail article:
Sunshine Coast Council’s Valdora solar farm switched off during flood event
Power has been switched off at the Sunshine Coast Council’s $50m solar farm after the hinterland flood-prone site was inundated during recent wet weather.
The Valdora solar farm which offsets council’s energy usage was temporarily disconnected from Energex’s grid on Saturday, February 26 as a “precautionary measure”, a council spokesman confirmed.
Some units are yet to be reconnected 11 days later.
Photos from the February 26 weekend showed the land was inundated with water during the six-day deluge which left many homes flooded and roads torn up.
The council spokesman said no key operational infrastructure was inundated.
He said the council was still assessing the cost of the flooding impact on the facility which was built in 2017.
He said once flood waters subsided a full inspection was carried out and two of the six power conversion units were reconnected to the grid on Wednesday, March 9.
The remaining units were expected to be reconnected “over the coming days”, he said.
He said prior to building the solar farm a comprehensive flood study, based on the 2014 Maroochy River Flood model was completed by a leading consultancy and the council.
“Construction was tailored to the cane land site,” he said.
“All key components within the solar farm, including electrical equipment, solar panels, inverters, switchboards and batteries, are situated well above the 1:100 flood level and the highest flood levels ever recorded in the area.
“No infrastructure related to operational performance of the solar farm was inundated by flood waters.”
Yandina resident Suzanne Tigell said it was another example of why floodplains should not be developed.
She questioned why the council did not inform residents about flooding at the solar farm.
“There is so much development on the floodplains now,” she said.
“I’d hate to see something major here on the Coast now because we’ve dodged that many bullets in the past 10 to 15 years with major flooding.”
The council purchased the 49ha parcel of land off Coolum-Yandina Rd in May, 2014, for $1.65m after the cane land was sold less than two years’ prior for $770,000.
But initial costs to ratepayers increased to more than $4m with the council also spending $2.3m on costs to develop the project plan as well as the intellectual property and the $300,000 option and rent payments totalling $56,000.
The council spokesman said the facility would continue to provide benefits to the region.
“The award-winning Sunshine Coast Solar farm (2018 Australian Regional Development Environmental and Sustainability Award) continues to provide savings to council and reduce council’s operating costs,” he said.
“It delivers benefits to our environment, offsetting more than 100 per cent of council’s electricity consumption, demonstrating Sunshine Coast Council’s commitment to be Australia’s most sustainable region.”

What a fvcking joke.

Long biography of Kumanjayi Walker, from the Oz. I’ve only posted part of it.

In 2015 he met a young woman, Rickisha Robertson, and began bashing her.

He was stealing, damaging property and terrorising Ms Robertson – behaviour he blamed on his habit of sniffing deodorant.

He went to Papunya to live with his biological grandparents Phillip and Ena Lane, but rarely spent time in their home, instead returning to Yuendumu to be with Ms Robertson.

Kumanjayi Walker had little understanding of the effect his behaviour had on his victims such as when he stole the Yuendumu medical clinic car and how this prevented people in the community from getting medical treatment.

He claimed he only assaulted Rickisha Roberston once when he was smoking ‘gunja’ and said at the time he didn’t know why he did it.

He had no interest in finding a job and was happy to spend his days watching TV and smoking.

He had half a dozen different Facebook accounts where he shared photos of himself posing as a gangster and followed Mariah Carey fan pages.

He followed Collingwood and was part of the East side in the Papunya competition, but sources said he did not play. “He would just walk around and not listen to anyone,” one said.

Kumanjayi Walker confided in others he was lonely and missed his family, but Ms Oldfield refused to take him in and his great-aunt Meggery Brown, in Katherine, said she was unable to support him.

A relative in Papunya, Joseph Lane, said at the time: “He mad one, he don’t listen, he walk around day and night. He make trouble for everyone. He need to be locked up for long time.

“He chase little dog and puppy and he tease them like little kid brain do.

“He is young man. He should know more but he know nothing”.

Mr Lane said he felt Kumanjayi Walker needed “some help for his head” because “he does not listen and he does not care”.

“He does not listen, he can’t understand, I tell him but nothing”.

Papunya elder Sid Anderson said the young man caused too much trouble in the community and makes life hard for others.

“That mad one is not welcome back here,” he said.

“He breaks into shop and clinic and steals people’s cars.

“Smoking gunja and making trouble is not our way.”

Mr Anderson said Walker needed to “listen and respect our community”.

“This boy has no idea who he is,” he said.

“He does not listen to anyone, especially the old people.”

After the shooting, his Papunya relatives told the media Kumanjayi Walker was a “funny and friendly” young man who had a lot of friends.

Yuendumu police regarded him as a sniffer and the local ringleader of break-and-enters, describing him as a risk to community harmony.

Both the Yuendumu Clinic Manager and the Alice Springs Hospital said in official reports Kumanjayi Walker had no documented history of cognitive or mental health issues.

Mr Walker was open about his life: he received money from Centrelink and spent it all on food, clothes, grog and “smokes”.

Kumanjayi Walker had little understanding of the effect his behaviour had on his victims such as when he stole the Yuendumu medical clinic car and how this prevented people in the community from getting medical treatment.

Whatevs.

He claimed he only assaulted Rickisha Roberston once when he was smoking ‘gunja’ and said at the time he didn’t know why he did it.

Meh.

He had no interest in finding a job and was happy to spend his days watching TV and smoking.

Or, as we might say, ‘a retired van driver’.

He had half a dozen different Facebook accounts where he shared photos of himself posing as a gangster and followed Mariah Carey fan pages.

Two high profile deaths 6 days apart doesn’t mean much considered another 700 punters died that no one is talking about.

Stop being rational. There are people here who think people in their 50’s don’t die from heart attacks. Warne did have symptoms of an impending heart attack but off he went overseas anyway. Not to be cruel but if you’re ignoring symptoms and have a heart attack that’s on you.

HOW TO WIN FRIENDS AND INFLUENCE PEOPLE
By Dale Carnegie

Sometimes just nothing you do seems to get through. No matter how you try the other fellow just won’t budge.
But don’t give in! That’s the time you can really impress him with your can-do attitude, grit, spunk and determination!
I had an experience like that. I’d tried everything in a pitch, and the prospective customer said to me “well Mr Carnegie, I must admit your presentation has been very impressive, but I’m still not convinced it’s right for our company”.
I could have given up, but I just knew there had to be a way to clinch the deal. Luckily I remembered a strategy taught to me by an Australian truck driver. I looked the prospective customer in the eye, and said:
“You’re a failure in life, and a shallow cock smoker.”
And he said, “well Mr Carnegie, now that you put it that way, I see things completely differently. I’ve come round totally to your way of thinking. It will be a pleasure to do business with you.”
Try it!

I’m well beyond being sad about it. A friend of mine worked in Darwin hospital. In the initial months she spoke of how much she admired the indigenous. That quickly changed because she became furious at seeing so many aboriginal women rolling in to hospital bashed senseless by their men.

Every problem they have is our fault or the fault of earlier treatment giving rise to intergenerational trauma. Even DV is blamed on that. If a non-indigenous male engages in DV we tolerate no excuse and regard them with unmitigated contempt. Behavior change does not happen by constantly referencing what happened to prior generations. Unless a person is willing accept responsibility for their behavior what is the point of treatment? Where’s min? She has the lowdown on that issue. That’s my answer Cassie, we have to take the debate away from the political activists and put in the hands of those with the relevant expertise in behavior modification.

IIRC it is much higher. Let me check …

The National Plan to Reduce Violence against Women and their Children 2010 – 2022 quotes a figure of Indigenous females being up to 35 times more likely to experience domestic and family violence than non-Indigenous Australian women. And the Productivity Commission’s 2011 Overcoming Indigenous Disadvantage report says Indigenous women and girls are 31 times more likely to be hospitalised due to domestic and family violence related assaults compared to non-Indigenous women and girls.

Daily Reminder: All Chinese Stocks Are Scams

Dr. Fly Thu Mar 10, 2022 3:15pm
When I started the business in the late 90s, one thing was clear back then: ALL ISRAELI STOCKS WERE SCAMS. Over the years, Israeli companies become more mature and less scammy. Then entered China in the early 2000s and everyone jumped on the bandwagon — but I was not fooled. Inside my data platforms, now Stocklabs, I quarantine all Chinese stocks in a group called “Chinese Burritos.” It doesn’t matter what the fucking company does because I assume it’s all bullshit and their shares more or less trade as one.

Today Chinese stocks are down more than 6% in on top of losses of 50%+ the past 12 months. If you’re a China bull: you’ve been completely dispatched and much much more.

I almost wasn’t gonna look up the news, since it’s always the same story. Lo and behold, accounting issues. For those who’ve been around awhile will remember I once sold short all Chinese stocks that used this one accounting firm — since they were running a scam. I forget the name and this doesn’t help from a journalistic point of view — but if you’re really curious fuck off and search my archives.

Today’s bad news.

China watchers believe this is likely because the Securities and Exchange Commission has identified five U.S.-listed American depositary receipts of Chinese companies (Yum China, BeiGene, Zai Lab, ACM Research and HUTCHMED) for failing to adhere to the Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act (HFCAA).

ADRs are securities that represent shares of non-U.S. companies, and they are traded on U.S. exchanges.

The act, which was passed in 2020, permits the SEC to ban companies from trading and be delisted from U.S. exchanges if American regulators are not able to review company audits for three consecutive years.

These are the first China ADRs to be identified as failing to adhere to the HFCAA. These five companies are on the list because they recently filed their annual reports with the SEC.

“All the Chinese listed ADRs will likely end up on the list, because none of them will be able to comply with requests to have their audits reviewed,” said Brendan Ahern, chief investment officer at KraneShares, told me. This is “because Chinese law prohibits the auditor to provide their review to U.S. regulatory authorities,” he added.

Needless to say, I won’t be buying this dip.

More of the biography of “the troubled teenager..”

By age 13, he regularly drank alcohol and smoked ‘gunja’ (cannabis) daily.

He would steal spray cans from adults in Yuendumu to inhale the petrol, paint or deodorant that he was addicted to despite saying they “made him feel dizzy and hurt his brain”.

And at age 13 his behaviour escalated to a new level. He broke into buildings, damaged property and vandalised vehicles.

In April 2014 he broke into and trashed the Yuendumu Medical Clinic and the newly built early childhood learning centre, causing an estimated $130,000 of damage.

This is the same clinic from which staff would later be evacuated, due to their fear over break-ins, on the morning of Kumanjayi Walker’s fatal shooting in November 2019.

There was a further estimated $100,000 damage done to the water tower that night which Kumanjayi Walker was suspected to have been involved in.

He told others, at the time, he did the damage because he was bored and “for fun”.

The Yuendumu Night Patrol reported seeing Kumanjayi Walker wandering around the community every night.

‘Grandma’ Jean Brown said she would go looking for him at night to try to stop him from wandering around the community after dark but she also made excuses for him.

“He gets angry when other kids tease him – he goes off his head,” she said.

Around this time a female government worker who visited the family had to be hidden for her own safety when Mr Walker threatened to “smash” her with an iron bar.

On April 29, a Yuendumu community meeting took place where everyone present agreed that those who had destroyed the medical clinic and child care centre should be punished.

Kumanjayi Walker came to that meeting to identify the others involved, naming three young children aged between 7 and 11.

Kumanjayi Walker was barely a teenager, but he was effectively homeless, without a responsible adult to care for him.

The Mount Theo Outstation was reluctant to have him back, and Ms Oldfield said he should return to live with Jean and Allan in Yuendumu.

“I would like him to go hunting and do men’s things,” she said.

“Allan will take him out bush and he knows about his problem,” referring to the boy’s mental health problems.

“He can’t sit still. He would get up every five minutes. He gets angry when someone gets him upset and when he gets teased.

“Arnold would listen to Allan; sometimes when he stays with me, he gets angry”.

Another of Kumanjayi Walker’s grandmothers, Katrina Brown, who sometimes cared for him, said he didn’t listen to her either.

In mid-2014 it was agreed Kumanjayi Walker, now 13, would live with BushMob, a residential program to help marginalised young people – but he was reluctant to go, threatening the adults who tried to encourage him.

In the weeks that followed, new incidents occurred.

First he graffitied the school bus. BushMob staff – aware of his ‘like’ for graffiti – tried to turn this into a positive interest by “providing him with materials to allow him a creative outlet by pro-social means”.

Then Kumanjayi Walker took a knife from the kitchen and threatened another boy, whom he accused of teasing him.

He stole a car and assaulted a 12-year-old boy, eventually leaving the BushMob program.

At 15 — after dozens more episodes of stealing cars, damaging property and fighting with other youths — he moved in with his grandmother, Margaret Brown, at house 511 in Yuendumu.

There is an expert around who will be here shortly to announce that, in fact, aboriginal women are primarily responsible for DV in their communities,

What’s Aboriginal Women’s responsibility for DV in Aboriginal Communities then?
0%?

Jacinta Price is wrong,

Most of the time.
She’s working a reverse Race Hustle, Candace Owens is another one on the grift.

Basically you either die of stroke or heart issues.

Well, yes.
The other big middle aged killer, cancer, usually presents at a time where there is an increasing chance of a good result.
With cardiovascular incidents survivability is measured in minutes, not weeks or months.

long covid recovery

major symptoms of long covid are shortness of breath, POTS (Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome), chronic fatigue, mast cell activation, endothelial dysfunction, platelet activation and microclotting.

an obvious symptom is tachycardia, erratic or high heart rate . Other symptoms include skin rashes, hair falling out, tinnitus, dysmotility. shortness of breath is very common. erratic blood pressure. sore joints. mental fog. fatigue. among many other symptoms.

none of this constitutes medical advice and any treatments should be discussed with a health professional.

the best bet for treatments is the I-recover protocol. this is politically incorrect as they recommend ivermectin.

doctors who work with the protocol have said that the combination of ivermectin and prednisone has been described as magical in some patients. dosage are as per the above protocol. it works.

they have since added low dose naltrexone. the pharmacology is available on youtube, but basically it interrupts the inflammation chain cause by the persistent viral debris. only 50mg naltrexone is available from india. to make 1mg dosage, dissolve a 50mg tablet in 50ml of water and use a 1ml eye dropper to dose to recommended levels.

statins are critical part of the protocol. any statin will work. the pharmacology behind the statins is that they are a fractalkine antagonist. elevated fractalkine levels are caused by damaged white blood cells called monocytes that have choked on S1 spike protein and have stuck themselves to endothelial cells using fractalkine as a glue. these dysfunctional monocytes create a cascade of downstream immune dysfunction. fractalkine also prevent these damaged immune cells from normal apoptosis process ie dying and they persist indefinitely causing inflammation and in particular the immune system causes damage to endothelial lining in blood vessels in trying to put out the alarm raised by these monocytes. these dysfunctional monocytes are particularly activated by exercise.

the statins unglue these damaged cells and also unblock the apoptosis pathway so they can be killed. the statins work for most long covid sufferers, however treatment can take months. while any statin will work, the preferred statin is pravastatin, which is now in short supply in india.

doctors are forbidden from prescribing any of the above as they are all off-label uses of medication.

micro-clotting is more serious outcome of covid infection. testing is unavailable at normal laboratories and the only test to confirm micro-clotting is a TEG blood test in hospitals.

micro-clotting will result in various downstream immune dysfunction. treatment is available if you can convince a hospital to test for it. the clotting however can be self-treated with nattokinase or other kinases. no prescription is required. nattokinase is incompatible with blood thinners and even baby aspirin. nattokinase should be taken with extra vitamin K2 and at least 2 hours away from food. should not be taken if you have any risk of internal bleeding, strokes etc. nattokinase has been shown to digest S1 spike protein. it works.

another recent discovery is metabolic dysfunction, quite possibly mitochondrial damage. no treatments are currently available. this causes a large amount of downstream dysfunction. however doctors have found loading up on niacin to be highly beneficial. 35mg-100mg niacin 3 times per day.

Good chance every local library will buy at least one copy, plus a lot of school libraries. Those will add up quickly.

Thank you Helen. I was thinking the same thing myself but I was also wondering how much a library would pay for the book. Is it retail, is it discounted or do they pay a premium because it might effect sales? Anyone know?

The current situation isn’t representative of a failure of industry. It’s representative of Government’s ability to completely fuck everything they touch.

It’s also representative of the fact that government is a parasite that will continue to engorge itself on the economy and will not stop feeding even when it knows it will kill the host and die itself.
Seeing that taxes make up a large portion of this cost, and the goverment is as popular as a turd on a barbecue, you’d think they’d have enough sense to do a major reduction in the excise to make sure Labor can’t screw us over again.
I cannot see how the middle class can survive this.

Just one of those unfortunate ones who gets taken early.
Not common, but not unheard of.

I have very little recollection of my childhood before I was 5, I remember my sister’s birth (at home) and my grandfather’s (mum’s side) death both when I was 4 (1952) but the most vivid memory is from when I was 3 years old my grandmother & an aunt took me with them when they went to see a gypsy fortune-teller at the local, yearly, fair..
They both had their fortunes told.. I don’t remember their details other than Grandma would pass at 76 & my auntie at 84 .. both of these events panned out!
As for me 2 things stood out and I’ve gone thru life without doubting the 2nd .. the 1st tho important wasn’t big in my memory until it happened! .. I would have a serious & prolonged illness in my 60s .. I was diagnosed with Cancer at 63 and given the all clear at 66 .. soooo the 2nd memory took on its full significance!.. I will be here until, at least, 82 (2030) .. nowadays I accept that I have a while to go so never, ever worried about BAT FLU from start to finish (which may be never if the gummint getz it’s way .. LOL!) tho not knowing the how does annoy me a bit .. I don’t really care how far past 82 I get but I would prefer it to be whilst I’m still as healthy as I am today rather than something that requires me being in care ..
3 grandees will reach 21, 3 more will be mid to late teens and the remaining 2 about to start high school by my 82nd burfday when, being an optimist, I fully expect to swim 1500 mts in a tad over 2 hours .. LOL!

You don’t do much, do you comrade?

But if Australia was the camp, the entire Island continent, there’s already been at least 800 the government have killed directly from jabs.
And of course we know the jabs kill as the government has admitted it.
Of course the actual figure is in the thousands, but like Warnie and Kitchens, they don’t get counted.
