That’s a very informative documentary, the depraved depths of the political machinations is staggering.

After the last 2 years here and around the world, the Trump saga and the corruption in the US, Biden and his creepy family, there is nothing politicians and Govts could do that would surprise me.

“And for that reason, any future party claiming to be conservative should ignore them. Look to the solid tradies and rural classes for the support that will give at least the opportunity for a national resurgence.”

Correct….on election day in May 2019 I campaigned for Dave Sharma. I spent a hours on my feet at Bondi Junction handing out Liberal how to vote cards. My reasons were twofold, one was to get rid of Phelps and the other was because I thought that Dave Sharma was okay (I’ve since revised my opinion). There was one other Liberal, a young man, and we got talking and I said to him that sooner rather than later the Liberal party will have to kiss goodbye to electorates like Wentworth. The young man got very upset with me…..he couldn’t understand that the electorate was slipping away…filled as it is with rich, smug, elitist, green hypocrites.

While you were distracted by Russia-Ukraine, the UK Government quietly published data confirming the Triple Vaccinated are just weeks away from developing Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome…

How in the stuff do the Nuffy Brigades of this world draw such an incredibly long bow from longitudinal surveillance of patients, displaying they all have unexpectedly fast attenuation of their coof spike protein antibody titres?

Could it be that the Nuffies are as prone to partisan hysteria as the mainstream media they proclaim to be agin’?

And if everyone vaxxed has AIDS, can the Nuffies explain how come all these hundreds of millions double- and triple-stabbed people worldwide are not all dead now? Was Chad Thunderbrain in fact correct when he said all disease was merely mental weakness (implied to be due to neuroticism and mental trauma)?

And if disease is mental weakness and trauma, why are the Nuffies themselves not all already dead from all the disaster and panic-porn they mainline daily and then vomit-spam all over the Cat?

Putin had mandated jabs – his buck passing (onto businesses) and prevarication resemble Scott Morrison’s two bit shell game.

WEF aligned Putin (yes, look it up) now arrests people for protesting against a war he started and arrests people for wrong think.

Russia and certainly ex KGB Stasi colleague Putin have no moral claim to lead freedom lovers, let alone the saving of the west, given their virulent seeding of cultural Marxism here.

Bashing, biting, choking: the domestic violence horror Kumanjayi Walker perpetrated on his girlfriend before being shot by cop Zachary Rolfe

Kumanjayi Walker with girlfriend Rickisha Robertson: ‘It was really hard that he was assaulting me’ but he always said ‘Iforgive you’

EXCLUSIVE

Face-biting, bashing her head with a rock, punching, kicking, pinching her cheeks and choking are among the sickening acts of violence that Arnold Walker inflicted on his girlfriend Rickisha Robertson in the years before police fatally shot him.

Police officer Zachary Rolfe has been found not guilty of murdering Walker.

Ms Robertson told The Australian in an interview she blamed herself for the assaults, which included Walker beating her with a piece of steel, breaking her left hand.

“It was really hard that he was assaulting me but he always said ‘I forgive you’,” she said.

“I forgive him and he forgave me too.

“I’m the one who was getting into his way.

“I was trying to stop him from … getting mad at me.”

Before his death, Kumanjayi Walker was known by his birth name, Arnold Charles Walker.

Walker would beat Robertson until she cried out in pain, kick her in the face, drag her by the hair and bash her – not only behind closed doors, but often in public as well.

He even attacked her while she slept.

So jealous and possessive was the teenager of his younger girlfriend that he even threatened her for dancing.

And after episodes of severe physical abuse, he’d threaten to commit suicide if she reported the attacks to police.

The pair met in 2015 after Walker moved in with his grandmother Margaret Brown at Yuendumu.

Robertson, then 14, was living with her father Ethan and grandparents Eddie and Lottie Robertson, who took Walker under their wing.

Within a year of meeting Walker was perpetrating savage and regular violence.

The first assault occurred on April 10, 2016 when Rickisha was 14.

That evening Robertson was with two female cousins at the Yuendumu basketball court when Walker approached the girls and punched Robertson in the arm before twisting and extending it, causing her to scream out in pain.

Robertson’s cousins screamed at him to stop and he then started walking away.

“I’m going to kill myself if you don’t come with me,” he told Robertson.

His girlfriend, who was 15 at the time, went looking for him and found him sniffing petrol at the home of relative Ernest Brown.

She asked him to stop but he said “no I need to sniff”.

He then turned around, grabbed Robertson around the throat with both hands, squeezed her neck tightly and lifted her off the ground.

Robertson was terrified and struggling to breathe when Brown intervened, pulling Walker’s hands off her neck.

Robertson then tried to leave but Walker chased her outside, demanding she come back. When she refused, he picked up a tennis-ball sized rock and threw it at her, hitting her back.

Afraid, Robertson has gone back inside with Walker. He pushed her into the bedroom and told her to lie down. He then bent down over her and bit her left cheek.

When Walker finally fell asleep, Robertson snuck out and ran back to her grandparents’ house.

Late the next night (April 11) Robertson was in the commentator’s grandstand at the football oval with her sister when Walker came to the oval with several girls.

Walker climbed the grandstand stairs and entered the commentator’s box where he grabbed Robertson by the arm and pulled her down the stairs.

Robertson tumbled down the stairs until she hit the ground at the bottom.

Walker then kicked and punched her in the face while she lay on the ground.

Pegging requires active management by their Central Bank. Yes?

Pegging to the USD at a fixed rate requires being a market maker of ,in this case, the Ruble. So in effect the CB is the primary buyer/seller of the currency vs the USD to hold the peg across major exchanges. Most currencies float , letting the market set the rate. But not the CCP who set a daily Renminbi rate.

When Soros broke Sterling he was betting the BoE wouldn’t be able to hold it’s peg (a range actually) against the Duetchie in the ERM. He won.

Pell has forgiven these people.
Try to take a leaf out of his book.

In my view Pell made a big mistake in turning the other cheek. Those who waged such a dishonest and despicable campaign against him deserved to be brought to account for their actions.

Just as women who refuse to report crimes of rape and sexual assault put others at risk of being attacked by these criminals so Pell has emboldened these perpetrators.

Since the Pell case, we have had many other examples of people being targeted. Christian Porter, Higgins consort, Ben Roberts – Smith, Rolfe to name a few.

If Pell chose to take action, he would have had no shortage of supporters willing to pursue it to the end. Nick Sandman and Kyle Rittenhouse in the US haven’t been so reticent and will make others think twice about destroying the lives of others for base political and ideological purposes.

These people have a take no prisoners attitude and they need to be confronted with a like approach. By the victims laying down, they won’t be deterred from committing further atrocities.

Ultimately, even if you have the financial machinery to ‘Peg’ any currency to anything, its not real. Currencies have real value (aka prices) and the only way to discover those prices is to let the free market work it out. Any attempt at fixing any price by fiat ultimately fails because eventually the gap between the ‘pegged’ price and the real price becomes so large that the peg fails – hence the old Soviet joke – ‘we pretend to work and they pretend to pay us’.

Lottie Robertson told detectives, after Walker was fatally shot by police in November, that the escalating abuse was “no big thing”.

Following Walker’s death Eddie and Lottie both told ABC’s 7.30 program that they took Walker in when he was young and raised him until his death.

“We took him under our wings to be able to give him the care, give him the love that he’s missed out on,” Lottie said.

“We had one happy family,” Eddie told 7.30.

They couple told 7.30 that their granddaughter was too upset to talk on camera.

“They met when they were only young,” Lottie said.

“And their love grew deeper.”

Lottie said something similar to The Australian at the time.

“I know a lot of people talk about him, talk about his bad ways, but to me he was a human being, a respected young fellow in my house,” she said.

“He had manners. He was a quiet person.

“His smile would ­always make my granddaughter smile, too.”

Russia Calls For Mandatory International Treaty To Ban Bioweapons
March 10, 2022
Over the years, Russia has expressed alarm over US military-funded biowarfare labs in several of its neighboring countries. But since all of these cautions fell upon deaf ears, Russia is calling for a mandatory international treaty to ban bioweapons.

In contrast to the US view on the matter, Moscow stated on Wednesday that an international convention against bioweapons should be reinforced with an adherence checking system. The request follows in the aftermath of reports that evidence of lethal pathogens was discovered at Pentagon-backed laboratories in Ukraine.

This week, the Russian military stated that Ukrainian authorities had instructed the disposal of severely infectious specimens held in US-backed biological labs around the nation.

According to the Russian foreign ministry, the documents show that both Ukraine and the United States violated the 1972 Biological Weapons Convention (BWC), which both countries signed and ratified. According to the report, the order to eliminate the samples was a move to conceal treaty infractions.

“We stand for the resumption of the work on a legally binding Protocol to the Convention for an effective verification mechanism, which the US has been stonewalling since 2001,” the ministry said.

The BWC prohibits the creation, storage, and employment of biological and toxin weapons, which went into effect in 1975. The treaty appears to lack an international watchdog institution to ensure adherence, unlike its chemical weapons cousin, the Convention for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons.

In the 1990s, an effort was made to form such an organization. The VEREX ad hoc team devoted a decade developing suggestions for surveillance, inspections, information sharing, and other methods to boost confidence.

Due to concerns from the George W. Bush administration, which dismissed a 210-page draught protocol in 2001, the project eventually flopped. If it had been adopted, Washington contended, it would not have benefited the BWC and would have harmed US national security and commercial interests.

Then-Undersecretary of State John Bolton stated at the time that Washington was concentrating its anti-germ warfare efforts on Iraq. Bolton claimed that the presence of Saddam’s bioweapons program was “beyond dispute.” Two years later, the US invaded Iraq under the guise of destroying Iraqi weapons of mass destruction, a claim that was eventually debunked.

For years, Russia has expressed alarm over US military-funded labs in several of its neighboring countries, most notably Georgia. Moscow worries that the United States is doing military research there that could endanger Russia. According to the foreign ministry statement, actions conducted on foreign soil, like domestic programs, should be subject to reporting under the BWC.

The proposed measures “would allow subjecting military-biological activities of the US and its allies … to international control and ensure full verifiable compliance with the BWC by member states,” Moscow said.

Following Russia’s assertions regarding Ukrainian laboratories, China demanded that the Pentagon publicly comment on bio research undertaken with its funds in other countries. The US military, according to Beijing, controls “336 biological laboratories in 30 countries around the world.”

The US claims that the facilities are used to monitor possible new virus dangers around the world and denies that anything illicit is being done there.

On Tuesday, US Under Secretary of State Victoria Nuland acknowledged that Russia indeed planned to attack Bioweapons labs in Ukraine and that Washington was working with Kiev on dangerous pathogens in those labs authorized by former US President Barack Obama himself.

The source of the Pell hatred is easy to trace.
It’s the same thing that drove his prosecution.
He is a genuine conservative and ruffled feathers inside and outside the church.
He wouldn’t allow the likes of Andrews to harvest old-school DLP voters by wearing the superficial cloak of Catholicism, whilst promoting abortion and euthanasia
And for those claiming to genuinely want to be part of the church (not just for political expediency) he was equally uncompromising.
You can’t be a weekday sinner and a Sunday Catholic. His purge of Ridsdale types from the seminaries in the early 1990’s was evidence of that. And it created powerful enemies.

It’s funny how he got all the acclaim for this trade when this Austrian fuck who actually ran his own money did actually break the bank but also through inside information. He actually caused the central bank of Greece to devalue inside the ems.
He built a 3.4 billion DM/ Drachma position with us over a Friday and the currency devalued inside the snake by 10%. He made DM340 million just with us alone. He had a fund manager working for him managing his money married to a prominent Greek sheila and the info came from there.

Soros didn’t really break the Bank of England. He broke the tolerance of the Bundesbank to hold the Pound as the strongest EMS was legally supposed to hold the weakest within the band.

How One Ukrainian Billionaire Funded Hunter Biden, President Volodymyr Zelensky, And Neo-Nazi Azov Battalion
March 13, 2022
Is this why Hunter Biden’s laptop talks about “Children Burned Alive” in Ukraine?

Kolomoysky Owns Burisma Holdings
The real person who was the benefactor to, and the boss of, Vice President Joe Biden’s son, Hunter Biden, at the Ukrainian gas company Burisma Holdings, was not the CEO of Burisma Holdings, Mykola Zlochevsky, but it was instead Ihor Kolomoysky, who was part of the newly installed Ukrainian Government, which the Obama Administration itself had actually just installed in Ukraine, in what the head of the “private CIA” firm Stratfor correctly called “the most blatant coup in history.”

Shortly after the Obama Administration’s Ukrainian coup, on March 2, 2014, Kolomoysky, who supported Yanukovych’s overthrow, was appointed the governor of Dnepropetrovsk, Ukraine. Hunter Biden, with no experience in the industry or region, would join Kolomoysky’s Burisma Holdings two months later on May 12, 2014.

A 2012 study of Burisma Holdings done in Ukraine by the AntiCorruption Action Centre (ANTAC), an investigative nonprofit co-funded by American billionaire George Soros and the U.S. State Department, found that the true owner of Burisma Holdings was none other than Ukrainian billionaire-oligarch Ihor Kolomoysky.

The study, which was funded to dig up corruption on the Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych, instead found that Ihor Kolomoysky “managed to seize the largest reserves of natural gas in Ukraine”.

Burisma Holdings changed owners in 2011 when it was taken over by an off-shore Cyprus enterprise called Brociti Investments Ltd, and subsequently, moved addresses under the same roof as Ukrnaftoburinnya and Esko-Pivnich, two Ukrainian gas companies which happened to be also owned by Kolomoysky through off-shore entities in the British Virgin Islands.

Oleh Kanivets, who worked as CEO of Ukrnaftoburinnya, confirmed Kolomoysky as the owner of Burisma Holding in the 2012 report saying, “The Privat Group is the immediate owner. This company was founded by Mykola Zlochevsky some time ago, but he later sold his shares to the Privat Group.”

In other words, Hunter Biden’s boss and benefactor at Burisma Holdings is the same Ukrainian billionaire-oligarch who also claimed the position of boss and benefactor over Volodymyr Zelensky before he became Ukraine’s president.

Kolomoysky Owns 1+1 Media Group
Kolmoysky, who currently holds a net worth of $1.8 billion making him the 1750th richest person in the world, owns holdings in metal, petroleum, and the media sector, where he has had a long history with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.

For years, Zelensky’s company produced shows for Kolmoysky’s TV network, 1+1 Media Group, one of the largest media conglomerates in Ukraine. Zelensky achieved national fame portraying a president on a hit television sitcom called, Servant of the People, which was broadcasted on a channel owned by Kolmoysky.

In 2019, Kolmoysky’s media channels gave a big boost to Zelensky’s presidential campaign, while Kolmoysky even provided security, lawyers, and vehicles for Zelensky during his campaign. Kolmoysky’s bodyguard and lawyer accompanied Zelensky on the campaign trail as Zelensky was chauffeured around in a Range Rover owned by one of Kolmoysky’s companies.

The Pandora Papers showed that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and his TV production partners were beneficiaries of a web of offshore firms created in 2012, the same year Zelensky’s production company entered into a deal with Kolomoysky’s media group, which allegedly received $41 million in funds from Kolomoysky’s Privatbank.

Zelensky’s political rival, President Petro Poroshenko commented on their connection during the campaign trail, “Fate intended to put me together with Kolomoyskiy’s puppet in the second round of the elections.”

After Zelensky’s victory, Kolomoysky, who had spent the last few years living between Israel and Switzerland, returned to Ukraine to keep up his relationship with the new president, nominating over 30-lawmakers to Zelensky’s newly established party and maintaining influence with many of them in parliament.

Looks like you visited Corsica just in time Rosie.

‘This is France!’ Molotov cocktails set government buildings on fire – riot police injured (13 Mar)

Chaos broke out in France today as hundreds of protesters clashed with police in Bastia, a city on the island of Corsica. The nationalist protesters took to the streets this afternoon as local anger intensified following similar violence on Wednesday this week. Protesters demanded a response after nationalist figure and Corsican separatist Yvan Colonna was attacked in prison eleven days ago.

The attack left Mr Colonna in a coma, sparking anger among locals who view him as a hero in a fight for independence.

Prior to the violence, around 10,000 people attended a peaceful march in support of Mr Colonna in Bastia.

Protesters held up banners calling the attack a French state-sanctioned assassination.

The scene quickly turned violent as activists tweeted scenes of the chaos, adding: “This is not #Ukraine, this is #France. The situation is out of control #Bastia.”

Another French activist Thibault Penet added that “state buildings were being targeted by Molotov cocktails”.

Sounds pretty messy.

“But I don’t think these idiots are well meaning.
They simply regurgitate these mantras repetitively … “Pell guilty (and throw Abbott in as well)” … “More renewballs” … “QWERTY respect” … “Trump’s America” … “Yartz funding” … “Close the gap”.
It’s fucking gibberish on high rotation, and they don’t take too kindly to anyone who scratches the surface and demands a bit of evidence to support the bullshit they spout.
No-one wants to be turfed out of the Doctor’s Wives Bridge Club.”

SP, correct, these people are not “well meaning” and they need to be smacked down whenever they start regurgitating this nonsense, something I am always happy to do because I am sick and tired of them and their drivel. These cretins happily buy into and propagate lies about Pell, Abbott, Trump, Rolfe, Sky after Dark, Bolt, Panahi, Alan Jones etc. in fact anyone and anything The Guardian, their ABC, The Project and Nine Newspapers tells them are distasteful and unworthy. Only last week, at a lunch, one of our new young employees, a young man who grew up in a lot of privilege here on Sydney’s north shore, went to private schools and who I noticed gets his information from The Guardian website, eagerly began conversing with me and others at the end of the table…and here is the conversation that ensued…

He started describing how he likes to body surf yet how it can be annoying when people swim into you and then suddenly he brought up the name “Tony Abbott”.

I immediately smelt a rat and I knew where this was going and what he was doing, he was going to deliberately denigrate Tony Abbott in conversation to suit his ideological perspective and because…you know…..that’s what progressives do. Well he was about to get a fright.

I cleared my throat and said “what about Tony Abbott and what has Tony Abbott got to do with the conversation?”

He said “it shows what type of character he”….so I then decided to finish the conversation.

I responded “no, no, no, no, stop there. I know Abbott personally and I know people who swim, surf and ride with him everyday and I’ve never heard any of them say a bad word about him and I’ve never heard any of them say “he deliberately swims into people” so I think you need to be more mindful of the fact that there are people out there, myself included, who both like and respect Tony Abbott.

“By the way, when was the last time you volunteered for Surf Lifesaving NSW?”

The conversation ended. He was suitably chastised, I could see it in his face. I gave him a fright but worse, he encountered someone with a different opinion to him and someone who would not allow him to spruik lies about someone.

He will not do that again….at least around me.

Dot, same thing happened to Juventus, Rangers & one of the teams from Florence over the past 10 years or so.
Standard practice.
Getting the Champions league or Europa League means big bucks from TV dollars so considering Chelsea are currently 3rd on the table & the top 5 play in Europe, it’s given a few teams an incentive over the last 10 games.

The name of the game, FA style, is too squeeze Chelsea out by not allowing an even playing field with the other PL clubs … lose enuf money/points & relegation means the chance(s) of recovery are remote … as to “TOON” and quips about Saudi ownership .. these are just sour-grapes from the jealous .. several PL clubs have dubious ownership but Newcastle were singled out for publicity cos Saudis weren’t flavour of the month with the media at the time! …

I is, unrepentant & proud, Toon .. born and bred .. howaaay the lads … LOL!

The Premier League disqualified owner Roman Abramovich on Saturday after the United Kingdom government sanctioned him in the wake of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. It left the club facing a string of stringent regulations to adhere to, including the closure of the club shop, inability to sell merchandise or offer new contracts to players.
Abramovich can still sell the club if the government grant him a licence to do so, which would be on the proviso he does not personally profit from any sale.

The UAP is the best placed and funded to get results this election. I love the LDP and think they’ve done a pretty good job so far, I was a member prior to joining the UAP. It’s just that the LDP is very low profile and hasn’t the resources or people to really do things on a large scale. The LDP will be second on my preferences if they run a candidate in my seat.

bern,

I missed the post re a lightning ball & saw it referred to a lot.

It would have been referred to a lot more, had I not been busy.

Clamins were made by rsrsrsrrs that ball lightning was driving around the stratosphere, minding its own business when it noticed her about to be killed in the street by an ‘assailant’.

The ball lightning, being selfless, decided to Take Action. It sped from the heavens and, to use Angry Nanna’s words, ‘saved my life‘ when it ‘slammed my assailant into a wall‘.

Then the ball lightning thought it best to demonstrate that it wasn’t an indiscriminate woodchipping machine, because it was subsequently ‘good and tame‘ with sssrsrrs. Presumably this consisted of resting on her palms of her hands while she extended them skyward, or sitting on her shoulder for a bit, or finding her car keys.

Fortunately, now that I have had time to download and transcript all my video evidence, it seems the principle police complainant is not a reliable witness: on the one hand he states on paper that he saw me ‘strike and injure a vulnerable road user’, but on the other hand, my GOPRO recorded him as walking up to my window and stating ‘you nearly struck that man, we were right there, we saw it, you nearly ran that man over..’

Yes you do. It is pretty clear that Clive can do no wrong in your eyes. I don’t care whether you support Clive in the upcoming election (I’ll preference UAP second here in Wentworth) but you should at least admit that Clive behaved badly, very badly, when he went to Canberra from 2013 to 2016..

By the way, I’m all for legitimate criticism of Abbott’s tenure as PM…and most people here, including myself, were extremely disappointed with him but…

1. He was hampered by traitors in his own party…constantly leaking against him and maligning him, which led to the 2015 assassination.

2. He was hampered by a hostile senate with your current fave running around being fellated by their ABC and the left all because he was daily smearing, sneering and ridiculing Abbott…I remember how Clive was guest of honour at their ABC’s table at the mid-winter ball.

3. He was hampered by close advisers such as Credlin.

Did he make copies of the house keys of refugee advocates and hand these copies to illegal immigrants?

Did he set the minimum wage for everybody who supported raising it to a billion dollars an hour so that none of them were able to find any work?

Pretty sure he did nothing of the sort.

As China faces its severest domestic COVID-19 outbreaks in two years with a record 1,807 new cases reported on Sunday, the country has launched a swift response to contain the virus spread, including allowing rapid antigen tests for public use and sacking senior officials for their slack response to the ongoing health crisis.

You’re displaying an unhealthy animus. I’m not aware of Abbott “telling us what we should do”. He offers advice on some issues, no different to Howard, Keating or any other former PM. You can agree or disagree with him. As for “living high on our taxes”, he’s not a wealthy man like Rudd or Turdbull are. I don’t believe that, like Keating, he’s making money from being on the board of a Chinese bank.

The ‘nearly hit that man’ allegation was the first thing PoPo said, but after about 1/2 and hour of walking around and making phone calls, it turned into ‘arrested for dangerous driving, striking and injuring a vulnerable road user’.

A woman acquitted of stealing from her dying mother has discovered a government agency took $10,000 in “legal fees” from her mum’s account to help build the police case against her.

It took 10 minutes for the jury to find her not guilty.

Last week, Ms Benz was sent a tax invoice showing her mother had been charged almost $10,000 for paperwork, phone calls, emails with police and lawyers in the year leading up to her arrest.

Another $2,000 was charged for other administrative work.

John Cleese has his microphone taken away at the US South by Southwest festival for saying that Britain should get ‘reparations from Italy and France’ for Romans and Normans enslaving Britons.

Comedy legend John Cleese had his microphone confiscated at the South by Southwest festival during a comedic discussion in which he suggested Italy and France owed historic reparations for enslaving Brits.

The Monty Python icon, 82, was riffing with other comics in front of the crowd in Texas when he talked about the ‘competition’ between cultures over who has been more oppressed by colonisations throughout history.

Pointing to world history being ‘a history of crime’, he added: ‘It’s a history of people who were stronger beating up people who were weaker and it’s always been that. It’s deeply, deeply distasteful.

‘But to pretend that one lot were worse than another – you do know the British have been slaves twice, right?

Cleese explained: ‘[People] get competitive about this business of being oppressed. We were oppressed, the English, by the Romans from about 0 to 400.’

Despite the event being labelled a ‘comedy panel’, his remarks sparked horrified reactions and an awkward environment for those in attendance.

Cleese rebutted claims that the British Empire was the first to colonise communities from other states throughout his 90-minute performance entitled ‘John Cleese in Conversation.’

The British comic insisted England was owed ‘reparations’ from both Italy and France, referring to the historic invasions of the Romans, and 1000 years later by the Normans under William the Conqueror.

‘I want reparations from Italy’, he told the stunned crowd. ‘And then the Normans came over in 1066… they were horrible people from France and they colonised us for 30 years and we need reparations there too, I’m afraid.

Figures, I have no idea of what you’re trying to say. It’s some sort of cryptic word salad I guess.

I thought it was pretty obvious. If you are going to be a right wing leader today the number one thing you need to deal with is virtue signalling. And the best way to deal with virtue signallers is to give them *exactly* what they say they want.

DeSantis and Trump are taking the rhetorical fight up to them which helps in terms of shifting the Overton window but it’s not enough. People don’t realise that DeSantis could still lose his next election. And then what? Florida instantly becomes a complete totalitarian shithole just like New York and California.

We used to have a legal system that stopped the worst excesses of left wing parties but the legal system is now completely infected with left wing dogma so now it’s entirely up to politicians to save civilisation. There’s no one else. The public can’t do it through civil disobedience or protest or legal action because, as I say, the legal system has been weaponised against them and it’s even hard for people to show solidarity with other right wingers because social media has been weaponised against the ability of right wingers to keep their jobs.

However, we can win. And win easily. Oh so easily.

ScoMo sends a locksmith to the house of some prominent refugee advocate (eg Julian Burnside). The locksmith makes 20 copies of these house keys. He hands one key each to the most dangerous illegal immigrants being locked up in Naura and tells them they all now have a place to stay in Australia permanently.

The next day, every other refugee advocate quits their advocacy and gets a real job because they never actually wanted to share their *own* wealth and housing with other people.

ScoMo then announces that anybody who supports climate change policies will have their electricity shut off. A month later, Newspoll suddenly finds that zero people in Australia support climate change policies.

And so on and so forth.

Within a month, there would be zero virtue signalling by anybody in Australia and without said virtue signalling, nobody would ever be interested in voting for lunatic left wing policies.
