If true, throws further shade on Russian military might

I was looking at their tanks and APC’s. All seem to have relatively narrow “German Style” tracks. None of them have the wide type of the T-34 and it’s contemporaries.

Seems they might have forgotten many of the lessons they learned.

Correct, but if my limited experience with civil matters is any guide, the first few court appearances will do nothing more than set the date for the next appearance.

Those with past experience in court proceedings know that you are allowed three move-ups before a final appearance .. the trick is using up all three extends the lenght of time between the offence and the reality of “justice” .. in other words time dims the memory and the world has moved on so in most cases, not all depending on the level of the “crime”, results in a verdict leaning more towards the offender ..

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.

It is weird how progressives feel obliged to blurt out political opinion not as part of the discussion, but as a challenge almost. They are staking out space. “Everybody be warned. You must accommodate me and I will be ruthless in forcing progressiveness upon you.” Everyone is put on notice that they must walk on egg shells.

I think it is a bit like ants and the way they receive instructions and are regulated by pheromones issuing from the queen’s butt. They exchange them constantly and promiscuously. The pheromones (or talking points) have no power on their own. They do not take controls of an ant’s muscles or tissues – they have no virtue of their own. They do not exert control on other species. They are a code, and as long as the ants are surrounded with the familiar scent they will behave one way or alter their behaviour accordingly.

To be an atheist requires that you can disprove the existence, if you can’t you are basically just a believer in the non existence, very similar to a believer in the existence.

Not really. I can disbelieve in fairies at the bottom of the garden without having a deep certainty that they aren’t there. I just don’t see any good reason to think they are.

Our Liberal party member thought he’s have a bit of a go at truckies (yawn) again.
The mighty road warrior and his outstretched finger.

Oops, that back fired on him pretty quick.
Remember, this is always about keeping the subject off what his party is doing to the Australian people.
So, boy he went to work writing what could only be described as word walls of self admiration at the heroic things he said at the last Liberal party meeting he went to in Double Bay.
Bringing it back to a classic talking point he knew would have people commenting about….Pell.

Meanwhile, Australia is falling hard and fast with Morrison and Hunt going their hardest for Klaus and Soros.
Combine that with the scoffing regarding the massively increasing deaths from the jab, and it really is quite a sick little blog these days.

“but I’m still alive so it’s all bullshit”
If you can’t see that as insane.
Or you scoff at camps being built by tyrannical governments in the process of killing their citizens as we speak…….

Denialism.

And then there’s the hypocrisy.
Figures later apologised for what he said, but originally claimed that he didn’t care what happened to those who helped bring in an apartheid system.

It got called Nasty.
Of course those that helped bring in the system are beyond reproach…….

Until reality is accepted, there will be no winning.

Sane people, like Kneel, accept what the overwhelming evidence is now showing, as governments even admit it.
But most are not sane.
You don’t want to know. No jabbed journalists want to know.
That includes the Panahis and the Morrows at Sky.
It’s sad for sane people to sit and watch Rita explain away Kitchen’s death on stress from the Labor party.
Kitchens was a very healthy youngish woman who had recently lost weight and was looking great.
But sad denialists found she’d eaten those deadly twisties when she was a kid, and even smoked those lollie smokes called fags……..It’s a wonder she made it to 52.
There is much mental sickness here, and there has been from March 2020.

Dr Duk earlier:-

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..’

Hey sfw.
Any thoughts?
It sounds exactly what you said you’d do to me when I recounted my tale of the dickhead truckie yesterday.
What was the phrase?
Give me “a hamburger with the lot”?
Which I believe is parlance for “greatly exaggerating minor offences, creating derivative offences from a single event or simply inventing charges”.
Your hypothetical “hamburger with the lot” doesn’t sound a lot different to what Duk experienced.

‘nearly’ can indicate that it was in fact driving skills which saved that ‘vulnerable road user’ – not a worker? what made him vulnerable, aimless wandering? I suppose too, that if a road user-worker is vulnerable, something awry, negligent, with that having been allowed by his employer in the first place, making it that it was the car driver who was vulnerable.

How much longer can the law justify the killing of Aboriginal people?
Teela Reid
Lawyer and Wiradjuri/Wailwan woman
March 14, 2022 — 5.00am

The killing of Kumanjayi Walker, a 19-year-old Aboriginal man in Yuendumu, reminds us that the law does not always equal justice when it comes to Aboriginal experiences within the criminal process. In the wake of Northern Territory police officer Zachary Rolfe’s acquittal, the Walpiri people have stood strong and dignified in their calls for ceasefire, police accountability and control of their homelands.

This case begs the question: how much longer can the law justify the killing of Aboriginal people?

Without cavilling with the not guilty verdict or the conduct of the trial, there are legitimate concerns about the training and recruitment of the Northern Territory Police Force. How is it that NT police officers are trained and drilled that an “edged weapon equals a gun”, as Rolfe’s lawyer argued, and in this instance that the three bullets Rolfe shot into Kumanjayi’s body were a lawful response to his threat of having a pair of medical scissors?

It wasn’t just the shooting of Kumanjayi that sent shockwaves across the desert; it was also the fact he died alone in the most undignified way inside a police station while the rest of his family and community sat outside wailing and waiting for answers, wondering if he was dead or alive the same day the Walpiri buried his uncle.

Surely, there are more appropriate and humane ways to respond and disarm a person. And the Northern Territory police have proven an alternative approach is possible when the person posing the threat is a white man. In June 2019, the same year Kumanjayi’s life was cut short inside a family member’s home, Benjamin Hoffman, a white man who terrorised the streets of Darwin in a one-hour killing spree that resulted in the death of four people, was spared his life. Why is the response different when it comes to Aboriginal men like Kumanjayi?

The disparity is jarring and the rage and fear felt by First Nations people across the continent is valid. Police preparedness to shoot Aboriginal men was reinforced during the Kumanjayi murder trial – as the jury deliberated Rolfe’s fate, the Northern Territory police fired six shots into another 19-year-old Aboriginal man in Palmerston.

Northern Territory Police Commissioner Jamie Chalker has spoken after officer Zachary Rolfe was found not guilty of murder.

Not long after the trial and further shooting, Samara Fernandez-Brown, the cousin of Kumanjayi, stood on the steps of the Northern Territory Supreme Court and described how his death has affected other young Blak men. “We are all in so much pain, particularly our young men. They have struggled, they have been scared, yet they have been respectful of this process.”

Our Blak men deserve better.

And it is not as though Australia doesn’t know what to do. The issues were ventilated in the Royal Commission into Aboriginal Deaths in Custody more than 30 years ago that made 339 recommendations. These were reinforced in the royal commission into Don Dale, and they continue to be revealed in the many coronial inquiries and highlighted in mass protests for Black Lives Matter – yet the suffering of Aboriginal people at the hands of state-sanctioned violence continues. This is an indictment on our nation and a status quo none of us should accept.

Since Rolfe killed Kumanjayi, the Walpiri made clear their community had remained in Sorry Business for the past two years. On Friday, in a powerful statement, Walpiri elder Ned Jampijinpa Hargraves broke his silence after attending the five-week trial: “We want ceasefire. No more guns in our communities. It must never happen again. The police must put down their weapons. We have been saying this since the beginning. We cannot walk around in fear in our own homes.”

Senior Warlpiri man Ned Jampijinpa Hargraves delivered a message on behalf of the family of Kumanjayi Walker after police officer Zachary Rolfe was acquitted of his death.

To appreciate the significance of this demand, we must understand the terror and disempowerment that stems from the 1928 Coniston Massacre in which up to 60 Walpiri, Anmatyrre and Kayteye men, women and children were slaughtered by settlers. This is Australia’s most recently documented massacre.

None of the perpetrators have been held accountable for the murders and an inquiry set up to investigate the killings ruled the settlers “acted in self-defence”. A justification that has become all too familiar when it comes to Blak victims and white perpetrators.

It is the relentless injustice where the law protects white innocence, yet Blak people are often considered guilty until proven innocent and have all aspects of our lives policed. It is the fact that we can see in plain sight white police officers shoot our Blak men and walk free, meanwhile, our children as young as 10 sit inside police cells for doing a lot less.

It is the abuse of police power monitoring Aboriginal communities that is exacerbated by the lack of accountability for the wrongs perpetrated against First Nations communities that reveals a racist system that privileges white supremacy at the expense of Blak lives – too many Blak deaths, not enough justice.

The criminal process, coronial inquests and royal commissions cannot bring back the Blak lives already lost.

But we can prevent many more unnecessary deaths if we ameliorate the tension between the police and Aboriginal communities.

We need enforceable police accountability mechanisms for abuses of power and systemic changes to confront and dismantle the systemic racism that is rife among the police forces across Australia.

Police power must be fettered further and the Walpiri demands must be adhered to if there is any chance of justice prevailing.

If there is any jurisdiction in Australia that exposes the urgent need for a powerful First Nations Voice enshrined in the constitution to guarantee the voices of the Walpiri are honoured, and proper independent oversight of the implementation of countless recommendations that have been ignored by governments, it is the Northern Territory.

And, perhaps, we all need to show Blak men a little more love to ensure their lives do, in fact, matter.

Thanks JC. It seems we can add the average male giraffe as a unit of length, to the ABC’s African elephant unit of mass and their Olympic Swimming Pool unit of volume.

On the plus side, the policeman who shot Mikhala Bryant (black girl with a knife about to stab another black girl) – grand jury declined to indict him. He still faces internal investigation to ensure he “followed procedure”. Still, he appears to be getting his due process (which, when someone dies, it is important to follow) and certainly the lack of an indictment is encouraging.

The Enjabbening Has NOT Stopped.

There is always another ‘new bug’ to terrorise the world with.

Just ask those who know how ‘smart’ it was to, ‘Invest, Invest In BioTech!’.

Those hundreds of labs the US is involved with around the world, are only those the US is involved with.

It’s going to take a lot more maiming & killing to convince the world that the Global Social Credit, Tracking & Tracing, Travel & Spending Passport is ‘good for them’ … ‘so let’s not talk about any of it unless it’s to mercilessly mock any who do’, is the order for the Global Army of Online Propagandists.

I think you mean Him, not him.

Reverential capitalisation of nouns and pronouns designating God is a pious custom but it is not required or even advisable if one is communicating in modern written English.

The earliest Hebrew & Greek texts of the biblical writings do not do so. Hebrew only had capitals, and while Greek had upper and lower case the manscripts are all written in upper case.

So it would seem God did not inspire the iblcial authors to distinguish his name(s) in any special way. The well know Hebrew circumlocution used when reading the holy name of God was, again, a pious custom adopted well after the biblical texts of the Hebrew scriptures were written in order to avoid blasphemy.

One major reason these kind of very nasty black money deals are established in dodgy jurisdictions is that the opportunity for skimming a % off the “funding” rivers of money is all the more effective. So, it’s not so much the lab and it’s activities, it’s the transactional exploitation that make it attractive. Are you saying “The Big Guy” has plausible deniability? Bullshit to that.

Struth, if the WEF had the power you attribute to them we’d be living under a one world government by now.

We, more than most countries on earth have been living under these arseholes for decades.
We are so dumb that we think the traitors in our parliaments are going against the wishes of the people to appease the insignificant “Greens” party.
That’s how ignorant we are as a nation.

If we don’t submit, they have no power at all.

They’ve made some big blues, and the war is not won.
But I am repeating what their intent is, and that they’ve been intending to take the west by 2021, them moved to 2030……but now because of Trump, they pulled this plandemic….which is exactly what it was.
They won’t get the whole world, because the yanks won’t fold, and power is too decentralised there.
They also are still armed, and they are Christian.
The Austrians have pushed their PM back from fining the unnjabbed…they were going to kill him.

What concerns me is the little funny farm in the Southern hemishere. The Land of the compliant and, the not too bright.
Our government , like Canada, has been the most captured and marched through by these pricks for decades, shutting the joint down.

They won’t (I hope) get the entire Angloshere, but they are firmly in control here, in NZ and Canada.
The traitors here doing the bidding of their masters is far more important to us than a far away war.
Without them, we could feed and fuel ourselves many times over with the war raging.
That won’t be allowed to happen.
The last 40 odd years should be enough proof, all the money printing, allowing coal to be used in China but not here,…..etc,etc,etc..that we are not getting back our nation without a fight.

While most are deluding themselves that anything is wrong.

Directed by Michael Apted, screenplay by Dennis Potter and actors who se performaces were so good they enabled the viewer to suspend disbelief despite their various English accents when they were playing Russians.

Fine actors too: Lee Marvin as a baddie and an emperor as the forensic scientist! They looked like they were having fun.

Accents are overrated – The Hunt For the Red October being an excellent example. A Kiwi and a Scot doing Russian Navy officers!

Unless those the world believes least likely to (such as those assumed to only be slavers and slave classes), cared to establish a resistance well in advance of an ultimate clampdown.

Another big fan of Gorky Park here – seen it several times and still enjoy it. The scene at the end where the mink escape into the snow is breathtaking.

Yet, it never gets mentioned when the MSM talk about Hurt’s work, must be one of those cases where the critics look down down their noses while the punters love it.

He was a remarkably talented actor with a wide range. Also, he kept his mouth shut (AFAIK) in terms of telling others how they should live and what they should believe.

When Trudy came in and prevented a pipeline being built from Alberta to the coast the price of oil ex-Calgary fell to ridiculously low levels. ‘Way lower than WTI because the producers couldn’t get their product to market. Russia now is a bit like Alberta, but there will be no opposition to pipelines to China. Take a while to build them, but then the spice will flow and flow.

The burger:

Which I believe is parlance for “greatly exaggerating minor offences, creating derivative offences from a single event or simply inventing charges”.

Anecdotally and allegedly and apparently, this was a thing where a crook – not a regular punter, but an actual crook – with an extensive existing history, AND who is busted red-handed doing additional bad stuff is hit with not only the substantive charges relating to the matter at hand, but also a host of alternatives.

For example – a prolific burglar, and in relation to one burglary may or may not have (historically and allegedly) received not just a blister for the burg, but also:
Criminal Damage – for damage to the place during the burglary;
Theft – for pinching stuff doing the burg;
Handling Stolen Goods – if caught with the proceeds;
Possess Property Suspected of Being Proceeds of Crime – a lesser version of Handle, with a lesser burden of proof;
Obtain Property by Deception – for when the crook sells the proceeds at Cashies, purporting the goods as his own; and
So on and so on. There are more, but that is the guts of it.

Some of the alternatives are later dropped in exchange for a plea of guilty to the substantive offences. The (alleged) beauty of the Burger was during the remand process. As mentioned, this is (should be) only used for proper crooks, and it allows for a raft of charges to be brought before an after hours bail justice to enable a greater chance of the crook getting remanded – and thus off the street – and thus unable to do more bad stuff to good people, even if only for the short term.

Totally unsuitable for traffic-based offending, unless the offender is an actual proper crook who happened to be driving a shitbox.

Inventing charges is different. That used to be called ‘bricking’. Apparently.

‘Did we just witness an execution?’: Former SAS soldier describes alleged killing by Ben Roberts-Smith
Michaela Whitbourn
By Michaela Whitbourn
March 14, 2022 — 11.52am

A former elite soldier has told the Federal Court he saw war veteran Ben Roberts-Smith drop a man to the ground in Afghanistan and machine-gun him in the back, prompting him to turn to a fellow soldier and ask if they had just witnessed an execution.

Person 24, a former Special Air Service soldier, gave evidence in Mr Roberts-Smith’s defamation case on Monday that he saw the decorated former soldier march out of a compound dubbed Whiskey 108 in 2009 holding an Afghan man by his shirt or pants. He believed the man was alive because he was making a noise like a grunting sound, he said.

Mr Roberts-Smith dropped the man to the ground, Person 24 said, and immediately fired eight to ten rounds into his back.

Person 24, whose name cannot be revealed for national security reasons, said he turned to another soldier in his patrol, Person 14, and said: “Did we just witness an execution?”

Person 14 has previously told the court that he saw three Australian soldiers on that day with “a black object which was … similar to a human”. The object was thrown to the ground, Person 14 said in February, before one soldier raised a “distinctive” machine gun known as an F89 Para Minimi and fired “an extended burst”.

Person 14, who is still serving in the SAS, told the court that he later discovered that Mr Roberts-Smith was carrying a machine gun matching that description.

“I wouldn’t be in a court of law giving that evidence if it was false. I’ve just sworn an oath.”
Person 24 giving evidence.

Mr Roberts-Smith is suing The Age, The Sydney Morning Herald and The Canberra Times for defamation over a series of articles in 2018 that he says portray him as a war criminal.

Person 24 was called this week to give evidence for the newspapers about alleged events at Whiskey 108, about which a number of current and former SAS soldiers have given evidence.

The media outlets are seeking to rely on a defence of truth and allege Mr Roberts-Smith committed or was involved in six murders of Afghans under the control of Australian troops, when they cannot be killed under the rules of engagement. Mr Roberts-Smith has said any killings were carried out lawfully in the heat of battle.

Mr Roberts-Smith’s barrister, Arthur Moses, SC, put it to Person 24 that his evidence about the alleged killing was false.

“I wouldn’t be in a court of law giving that evidence if it was false. I’ve just sworn an oath, Mr Moses,” Person 24 replied.

He said the Afghan man killed by Mr Roberts-Smith had a prosthetic leg, which was removed from the body by another soldier, Person 6. Asked how he knew the man he saw was Mr Roberts-Smith, he said it was the soldier’s size and gait.

“I could not see his face; they were camouflaged. I couldn’t see face definition,” he said.

Under cross-examination by Mr Moses, he agreed that he was in regular contact with Person 14. He was aware that Person 14 had given evidence in the case and said that he “gave him a welfare call on the night he was in here” in court for the first time.

“I just asked him how he was going; he was all right. He said it was tough. He mentioned that you went at him like a rabid dog,” he told Mr Moses. He said that he spoke to Person 14 again when he completed his evidence and “he was really, really relieved to be out of here”.

Person 24 told the court he had also witnessed a soldier known as Person 5, the commander of Mr Roberts-Smith’s troop, coming to the door of his patrol room before the Whiskey 108 mission “in a jovial manner, dancing a bit of a jig”. He said Person 5 said: “We are going to blood the rookie.”

He understood that to mean that “they were going to facilitate or put [a soldier known as Person 4] … in a position where he could get a kill under his name”, Person 24 said.

He said he witnessed Person 5 “screaming” at Person 4 to join him inside Whiskey 108 in 2009.

A serving SAS soldier dubbed Person 41 has previously told the court that he witnessed Mr Roberts-Smith grabbing an Afghan man inside that compound, kneeling him in front of Person 4 and directing him to shoot the man.

The trial continues.

Reminds me of so-called “progressives” discussing the CIA in the 1970s/1980s. If the CIA had been half as omnipotent as the lefties screeched, and 10% as ruthless, all of those screeching lefties would have long since been eliminated.

Quite so, BJ.
I seem to remember when Victoria Police had a Special Branch gathering intel on “subversives”.
Every second academic or left-leaning local councillor was convinced their phone was tapped and they had a Special Branch file.
When Cain was elected in the ’80’s there was pressure to release the files.
It came as quite a shock when large numbers of the oppressed (including several prominent ALPBC personalities) found there was no file with their name on it.
They couldn’t even find their name in files of others.
Of course, it then became clear.
All the files of the really, really important subversives had been covertly secreted away before the document release.
And I think there was even a suggestion that they had been handed to the CIA.
The left were totally obsessed with the CIA post The Rissoling of Gough.

I know myself, I dread making an appointment to get scripts since my GP is a vax nazi. So far gotten out of trouble with telehealth and e-scripts to the local pharmacy. But who wants to go to a GP when they are terrified of the unvaxxed, and the vaxxed are terrified to get the disease from hell in the waiting room? It’s nuts.

I fear GPs have gone the same way as teachers. Teachers have found that they rather like not teaching dirty disgusting diseased students, and GPs seem to dislike treating sick people these days.

Ditto with Dan Brown and the da Vinci Code, which some readers took seriously. Again, if there was any truth in the story, Dan Brown would have suffered an unfortunate accident, and his notes and drafts would have disappeared long before publication.

I actually liked the da Vince Code (book and movie). I thought is was clever story creation as Brown sprinkled some known historical facts (and plenty of speculation) into an otherwise made-up story. But yes, some people thought it was a ‘textbook’ or the movie was a documentary.

Then, on the other hand, some people read/watch the MSM news every day and think they are informed and up-to-date with local and world events.

Just caught 11 really decent sized whiting off the pier near the beach house. All this in the space of 1 1/2 hours. I think Port Phil is going to be teeming with fish as they’ve stopped all commercial fishing in the bay. The Andrews’ sisters did this to suck up to blue collar anglers as there was no logical reason to end commercial fishing. Even the greens were against stopping commercial fishing in the bay as they believed it was eminently sustainable.

I suspect the Bay will be filled to the brim with fish over the next few years.

I know myself, I dread making an appointment to get scripts since my GP is a vax nazi. So far gotten out of trouble with telehealth and e-scripts to the local pharmacy. But who wants to go to a GP when they are terrified of the unvaxxed, and the vaxxed are terrified to get the disease from hell in the waiting room?

Yep, I almost NEVER see a GP but was forced to last week to apply for a vax exemption after my recent +PCR.

First, I had to wait in the car before being snuck in so as the vaxxed didnt have to see me. I then had to endure the looks of horror from my (thoroughly vaxxed) GP when he discovered I was unkleen. He wanted to lecture me on vaccines protecting grandma, to which I countered ‘grandma dies anyway – we know that from the flu shot and we know that from COVID’.

Then I let slip why I was there – to get an exemption – which again horrified him. He appears to be unaware that recovery from respiratory viruses 1) proves you can do it 2) prevents you getting it again.

Then had to step him point by point through the vax exemption form (which I had printed in advance, prefilled as much as possible and copied and highlighted the relevant ATAGI points as well).

As a parting shot, he wanted to give me a cholesterol test form. I replied ‘no, I have read the evidence thoroughly, I dont believe in the cholesterol hypothesis in relation to heart disease, I have read Ancell Keyes BS early paper and its incompetent at best, fraudulent more likely….

At which point, he gave up … and they nice lady at the counter bulk billed me for the half hour harrangue!

Only problem is – that was a week ago and my ‘get out of jail tick’ is yet to appear on my ‘electronic health record’ (if it ever does, it will be the only thing on it – I only signed up to get the vax exemption, and will then delete it again.)

About 30 years ago I lived across the road from author Paul Mann (The Beirut Contract, Season of the Monsoon and about 15 other titles).

Anyway, he used to go to extraordinary lengths to gather facts and first-hand experience when researching for a new book. He travelled extensively around the world, went as a correspondent to assorted war zones, ‘hitched a ride’ on US warships (with Defence Dept appvl) and anything else he needed.

He once told me that some readers are incredibly well informed and that details that purport to be facts in a book must be exactly that. If stated facts about, say, an aircraft carrier are wrong, then you will loose that reader forever – it won’t matter how good the rest of the story is as the reader will dismiss the author as not having credibility.

Thus, good fiction writers will often weave known facts into the much larger fictional story.

By the way, Paul’s other claim to fame is that he was once the editor of Australian Playboy. He relocated to Canada about 25 years ago.

“A guy in a lab saying, “Jeez, I am seeing a lot of XYZ” is not evidence.”

Of course it is – it’s anecdotal though, so not very strong.
And in no way indicative of cause.
Perhaps he’s seeing the result of telling people they are so at risk of being killed they have to stay locked in their house for months, and that hospitals are over-whelmed with the dead and dying. That might tend to make people who would otherwise say “Heh – that’s odd, better go and see the Doc” say “I ain’t going anywhere near where there might be sick people – it can wait”. Even more so when you realise people missed cancer treatments – they knew they were sick, they had a treatment regime, and they ignored it because they thought COVID would kill them first.
