On the “are they loony or evil ?” question, I’m leaning towards evil. No one can be this stupid

Ideologies make people do wicked things.

Won’t that require spaceships?

That is actually only a very small part of a modern Australian organisation, and probably the last part to worry about.

First you need to set up a department of Diversity and Inclusion, Environment and Heritage, Gender and Identity Equity Offices, Disability Office, Indigenous Advancement Offices, Women’s Advancement Offices, Disabled Indigenous Women’s Offices, an office for the five year plan, an office for the ten year plan, and office for the 25 year plan, yoga rooms, safe spaces, conflict de-escalation officers, sandboxes for the furries, sunbaked rock overhangs for the scalies, Trans-child Outreach programs…the list goes on.

Frankly it would be the height of recklessness to even start getting quotes for Chinese rocket technology without working out what colour the decor is going to be, if certain alarm sounds might trigger fear of sexual assault in female or female identifying astronauts, sustainable fuel, and there is a real danger that when enough justice has been painted onto the spacecraft there may be no room left for windows.

So obviously you can’t just rush into it like a straight white male with a new Ikea bookcase.

I think CMD’s response about JC is quite accurate.

The fiery commentator JC’s propensity to use randomly assigned nicknames is not endearing or entertaining, it is in fact quite confusing, serving only to add a layer of incomprehension to his comments. On a site comprised of pseudonyms there is no leeway for a secret and random second language, known only to one person.
His claims of never initiating a stoush seem a very good tongue-in-cheek display. Until the point where it become clear to even the most casual of observers that he believes it, and that his obsessive pursuit of those to whom he arbitrarily takes a dislike is not an act, instead being deadly serious.
The nature of his propensity to harbour a multi-day obsession with almost any other commentator, over a random and unpredictable minor point, would in real life be chilling. Nor should it be taken lightly on this page.
Loud proclamations are always made that someone is being pursued because they are “wrong”, when usually this is not the case.
It is the domain of a severe narcissist to obtusely believe they are always right whilst others are always wrong.
The obsession this person has with selected other commentators can only be described as insane.

I might be wrong, but I don’t think so.

No.
Unless you’re meaning something very similar to the vegetable crisper, only smaller & inside the door?

I do remember the butter compartment in the kitchen cabinet. Lined with tin & kept the butter at (barely) above melting point in summer. Jam & other spreadables were also usually kept in there.

Oh lord, the incredibly high IQ Winston takes a shot. How sad for me.

Winston, the other day I was driving past the airport and I noticed a strange plane on the tarmac. It appeared to be a very large passenger jet with Chinese inscription on the side. And FMD, I think you were right (recall that time you complained to Davidson that I was being a meanie to you because you postedn a comment aboout a Chinese invasion through Tullamarine ). It was just a “scenario”as you called it. There were all these Chinese looking military dudes disembarking with guns and backpacks. You were right. They have landed at Melbourne Airport and about to take over the country. HELP!

By the way, is Long Time lurker your spouse? The reason I ask is that you once got berated for being an idiot and she came the blog to defend you, which was very amusing. She also went under the blog name of LongTime Lurker. Recall, it was that time I was making fun of you by referring to you as Nurse Betty and she came on. It just looks a little funny that Long Time lurker was carrying the same nameplate as your spouse who you once told goes to bed drunk every evening. Alcoholics generally are insomniacs, which tallies with the 4.36 am slagging.

$16m Double Bay penthouse sells for record

Downsizers, returning expats and security-conscious wealthy Australian families are fuelling a bumper run of penthouse sales in Sydney and Melbourne, albeit at vastly different price points.

In Double Bay in Sydney’s eastern suburbs, a local downsizer agreed to pay $16 million – a record $108,000 per square metre for the area – for the top floor of a boutique development at 16 William Street known as Vedalia.

Paying for the view: The Double Bay penthouse.

The just-completed 149-square-metre, three-bedroom apartment, just one block from the harbour, had a price guide of $14 million. It was scheduled to go to auction, but sold within a week of hitting the market through Joshua Allen of JT Allen Real Estate.

The open-plan apartment includes an expansive outdoor deck with harbour views (although not of the Sydney Harbour Bridge) as well as parking for four cars.

While the buyer was a local downsizer, Mr Allen said the inquiries had included an expat willing to purchase the property sight unseen as an “insurance policy” for when they return.

And these numbers are nothing compared to other “lost” and “found again” ballot boxes in far more important elections along with all the other dodges, but why would anyone who knows how badly our elections are rigged care, so long as their Globalist Agenda Pushers are getting in and they can point at a (very f’in’ little), ‘win’ for electoral integrity like this farce, to shut down any drive to have the whole system sorted –

ABC.au reported:

Tens of thousands of voters in New South Wales will be forced back to the polls after the Electoral Commission’s online voting system crashed at the local government elections in December.

The commission applied to the Supreme Court to scrap the results in Kempsey, Singleton and Shellharbour Ward A “to protect the integrity of the electoral system”.

In delivering his judgement on Thursday afternoon, Justice Robert Beech-Jones declared the results in the three council areas void.

“The primary consideration is the interest of the electorate,” Justice Beech-Jones said.

“The cost, stress and inconvenience to the elected cannot be elevated above the electorates’ interest in having a council elected in accordance with the Local Government Act.”

He told the court even though the number of voters who were unable to vote was small their omission had real potential to change the results in all three councils.

“With reluctance, I find that because the system of election for the three councils is proportional representation, it is necessary to declare all of the councillors’ elections void.

“Had the court only declared one councillor position void then the result would be a by-election using the optional preferential system of voting which would undermine the manifest purpose of the proportional voting scheme of the Local Government Act,” he said.

No ruling was made on who will bear the costs of the failure with additional submissions to be made next month.

Analysis commissioned by the NSW Electoral Commission found 34 voters in Kempsey, 55 in Singleton and 54 in Shellharbour who attempted to use the iVote system were prevented from casting their vote.

During a two-day hearing in February, several councillors told the court of the “reputational damage” caused by the proceedings while some said they would not run again in the event the result was thrown out.

“At present, the successful and unsuccessful candidates will unfairly bear the burden of the failure of the iVote system that was administered by the Electoral Commissioner,” Justice Beech-Jones said.

“The failure of the iVote system, resulting in fresh elections, is likely to cause a loss of faith in the electoral process.

“That loss of faith will only be exacerbated if candidates cannot nominate because they cannot recover some of the resources expected in the December 2021 election,” he said.

DOT take note.

These findings suggest that the first people in the Americas instead arrived via boats along the Pacific coast, researchers said.

I never liked the Bering Strait land bridge idea because it is so far north and human population density wasn’t high enough in northern Asia to drive that migration. I have long speculated that humans hopped across the Aleutians to North America. This study offers some support for that. The genetic studies don’t but a decent analysis of the Japanese original remnant population(Ainu) is worth a shot. The sea travel is not so surprising given recent evidence of even homo erectus reaching as far as the Philippines and the Homo floresiensis tiny people also probably navigated to their island by sea. I suspect we have seriously under estimated the capabilities of late Pleistocene humans(~40,000-15000 year ago). There is evidence of a cultural explosion in Africa around 50,000 years ago. That might just be an artifact arising from the scarcity of material but there is very good evidence from Blombos Cave @ 60,000 years ago of that cultural explosion.

Boambee John:

While most Greens and rabid lefties are concentrated in the major cities, particularly the wealthier inner city suburbs, there are cells everywhere (Byron Bay, Lismore to give two NSW examples). How would you propose to sort out the groups?

By internal migration.
Greenies tend to have government jobs/students/dole. The new government would cut back on the degree mills, institute dole limitation, gaol idiots who hold up trains, glue themselves to roads, and otherwise break laws that now get lettuce leaf slaps.
If State governments were in charge of benefits, and funded it themselves they would provide competition with payments. The States that wanted to fund the welfare sector would, of course, get more people who wanted it. The States that refused the three generation workshy families would see them move or get jobs.
Yes, there will be dislocation, but it would settle down fairly quickly.
We could have Sortition and Dot would be here in a flash.
All the manky bureaucrats and dodgy entrepreneurs would move to where they could practice their dodginess.

Faulty 2.0,

If you are truly as concerned about the system as your incessant Nuffing about the business suggests, then why not stop Nuffing at us all and do something about it? Like the grassroots MAGA types are doing?

You can volunteer to scrutinise elections or act as a Returning Officet and do your bit in the chain of custody to make sure it is (at least as far as you are able) accurate and honest.

The reason your hated Globalist Pooftah-Pansies are so succesful, is they take the concept of Think Global, Act Local setiously.

I thought that Jews weren’t sure if they would get to heaven or not as it depends on God’s plan, which they don’t presume to know. Is that incorrect?

” I have long speculated that humans hopped across the Aleutians to North America. “

I was reading about that theory only last week. It makes sense, I suspect sea levels were significantly lower. There’s also a theory that proto-Europeans may have arrived on the east coast of what is now the USA……by following the massive ice-wall that enveloped what is now the North Atlantic….in order to hunt for fish and mammals.

It’s all fascinating

“I thought that Jews weren’t sure if they would get to heaven or not as it depends on God’s plan, which they don’t presume to know. Is that incorrect?

Sort of. In Judaism the soul is immortal, there is a world (heaven) after death and there will be resurrection of the dead. Some sects of Judaism also believe in reincarnation (I do), the mystical traditions of Kabbalah hint at the soul being reincarnated. There is most definitely no “elect”…..Jew and non-Jew, we are all given the gift of life to help achieve God’s plan. All mankind, Jew and non-Jew, will go to “heaven” if they’re righteous, in fact a righteous Gentile will enter the Kingdom of Heaven before a bad Jew.

Also does the messiah opens the gates to heaven or no?”

Yes…but first the messiah has to achieve heaven on earth and that’s where it might get a little tricky for him!

Working my way v slowly through Paul Scott’s ‘The Raj Quartet’. It’s extraordinary. The English attitudes to Indians catch a hammering but the whole view of India which the books evoke seems quaint now.

Picked up a hardback copy in a second hand shop and got the second volume from World of Books which recycles books at cheap prices.

Anyway, it’s made me think that there were some really good but fairly neglected English novelists in the immediate postwar period. Olivia Manning is another. Her Balkan Trilogy and Levant Trilogy are great.

Yes, Jewish history is replete with false messiahs such as Sabbatai Zevi and Jacob Frank. Some secular Jews also opine that Theodore Herzl, the father of modern Zionism, was a candidate for messiah. Herzl was a great man but he wasn’t the messiah.

Is There Life after Death? Fifty Years of Research at UVA

There are accounts in this speech that can’t be put down to coincidence and it is also difficult to imagine instructing children to create such accounts. I don’t know what to make of this because all our current understanding clearly points to personhood not only ending at death but even changing so much with some types of brain damage that another person emerges. Unfortunately most educated people won’t even look at this evidence so it is very difficult to have confidence in the presented material. Watch James III account 10.45. That’s weird. Nor are these accounts of children presented as heroes of old or historical figures, if there is a defining feature of these accounts it is that typically the prior life came to a violent and premature end.

Admission From Zelenskyy Highlights How Biden Administration Wanted To Provoke Russia To Invade Ukraine
March 21, 2022 | Sundance | 262 Comments
[links at link below]

Hopefully by now everyone is well aware how the U.S. State Department has been manipulating the internal politics of Ukraine for well over a decade.

A recent statement, by current Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, puts the weeks leading up to the Russian invasion into greater clarity.

In an interview with CNN, Zelenskyy spoke about his prior communication with Joe Biden and NATO leadership. Within the interview Zelenskyy said (emphasis mine):

“I requested them personally to say directly that we are going to accept you into NATO in a year or two or five, just say it directly and clearly, or just say no,” Zelensky said. “And the response was very clear, you’re not going to be a NATO member, but publicly, the doors will remain open,” he said. {CITATION)

So, privately NATO and the Biden administration were telling Zelenskyy Ukraine was never going to be in NATO, yet they told him they were going to publicly act like the possibility existed. There was no way for Ukraine to enter NATO, but they were going to pretend he could. Why would they do this?

Now we go back to the previous outline when it was first discovered the Biden administration was using China to funnel information to Russia.

In late February, the New York Times reported on U.S. intelligence and diplomatic officials from the State Dept sharing intelligence with Chinese officials in the three months leading up to the Russian invasion. {Go Deep on Analysis} The narrative from the NYT article tells the story of the U.S. trying to convince China in December, January and February to intervene and persuade Russia not to cross the border into Ukraine.

The fiery commentator JC’s propensity to use randomly assigned nicknames is not endearing or entertaining, it is in fact quite confusing, serving only to add a layer of incomprehension to his comments. On a site comprised of pseudonyms there is no leeway for a secret and random second language, known only to one person.

You poor sad bastard.

His claims of never initiating a stoush seem a very good tongue-in-cheek display. Until the point where it become clear to even the most casual of observers that he believes it, and that his obsessive pursuit of those to whom he arbitrarily takes a dislike is not an act, instead being deadly serious.
The nature of his propensity to harbour a multi-day obsession with almost any other commentator, over a random and unpredictable minor point, would in real life be chilling.

You’re WhiteKnighting Salvatore, AKA Driller.
Here’s the deal with Driller:
He makes some stupid statement only a Galah would make, then when he’s reminded of it a few days later, denies all knowledge and Gaslights the other commenter.

Ex-lover accuses Ben Roberts-Smith over pregnancy and assault

Stephen Rice
NSW Editor
@riceyontheroad
An hour ago March 22, 2022

The former lover of Ben Roberts-Smith has given devastating evidence that the war hero forced her to take a pregnancy test in front of him to prove she wasn’t lying about being pregnant and later punched her in the face after she embarrassed him at a Canberra function.

The woman also claimed that at the end of their relationship the former SAS soldier had threatened to burn her house down, warning her: “It might not be you that gets hurt, but people that you love and care about.”

On Tuesday the woman gave evidence in the Federal Court in the defamation case Mr Roberts-Smith has brought against Nine newspapers, which accused him of committing or being complicit in the murders of six unarmed prisoners in Afghanistan, and of assaulting the woman known as Person 17. The Victoria Cross winner has denied every allegation.

Person 17 told the court she and Mr Roberts-Smith had begun their affair in October 2017 when they met at a function and later had sex in his hotel room. Their relationship developed, with the two communicating by burner phones and encrypted messages.

Person 17 told the court that in February 2018 while on an overseas trip she discovered she had fallen pregnant. She said she knew the child must be Mr Robert-Smith’s because she hadn’t slept with anyone else, including her husband, who had had a vasectomy.

When she told Mr Roberts-Smith she was pregnant, she says he demanded proof, but they agreed she should have an abortion. She said Mr Roberts-Smith told her if she kept the baby “he would not stick around long term”.

However, soon after, she said, she miscarried the baby, but didn’t tell him immediately.

The woman told Mr Roberts-Smith she would have the termination done at a private hospital in Sydney, but when she met him later in his hotel he informed her that he had had her followed and accused her of faking the pregnancy.

She said he produced a pregnancy test that he had brought with him “and he made me do it in front of him”.

When the test didn’t seem to produce a valid result he took her downstairs to a shopping area outside the hotel.

“He went and bought another pregnancy test and brought it back to the room and made me do it and the result was positive,” she said.

The woman’s testimony is at odds with Mr Robert-Smith’s previous evidence that she had admitted she had faked the pregnancy.

Despite her distress, she said, the affair continued.

Again contradicting Mr Roberts-Smith, she said the war hero had not told his wife, Emma Roberts, about the affair, and recounted overhearing a phone conversation in which Ms Roberts asked him what he wanted for dinner that night.

Mr Roberts-Smith has previously told the court he and his wife were separated at the time he was in the relationship with Person 17.

However, Ms Roberts has given evidence that not only was she unaware of his affair – she didn’t know she and her husband were supposed to have separated.

Directors ID.

https://www.abrs.gov.au/director-identification-number/about-director-id

A director ID is a 15-digit identifier given to a director (or someone who intends to become a director) who has verified their identity with us.
A director ID:
starts with 036, which is the 3-digit country code for Australia under International Standard ISO 3166
ends with an 11-digit number and one ‘check’ digit for error detection.

There’s an ISO standard for it and Australia has a unique numerical identifier. It’s an international system, not an Australian system.

Absolutely guaranteed that it will be used for the wrong reasons in the wrong way. Pretty much like every other “initiative” of the last 50 years.

The Bill and Belinda Gates Foundation started out with a different, more revealing name as to their true intents.

It was called the Bill and Belinda Gates Institute for Population Control.

And then they started funding vaccine production, can you put one and one together?

So there was no official statement, just the prefix.
Do they intend to share searchable information with international agencies?
Almost certainly.
But this is no different to a bunch of other information sharing protocols.

The last glacial period was 15k years ago, the sea level was 130m lower. The Bering Strait is 30-50 metres deep. Yes there was 1.5km of ice but it had to retreat sometime. There are many different peoples from Finland to Siberia down to Kamchatka across the Aleutians into Canada. Different but similar. The South American Indians are thought to be settled from the North through coastal hopping as the settlement happened very quickly. The modern 2k yrs ago amerindians are thought to be related to the Anasazi Indian Ancesters but they just suddenly disappeared. So more likely to be a later wave.

It’s not part of some vast conspiracy.

It’s just the usual Australian Uniparty boner over doing something that aligns with international protocols without the slightest thought.

No doubt this scheme won’t solve any problem real or imagined but will employ a legion of shiny arsed Mongs busily having meetings with each other and writing reports that no one reads.

If the shit does hit the fan and this should have stopped it. Then it will be found that the perps either simply cheated in the most brazen and obvious way or formed an incredibly cosy relationship with the supposed overseers.

As to the Americas there’s now fairly firm findings that there was an earlier wave of settlement. What happened to them is conjecture since they mostly vanished by the time the land bridge colonists arrived. Was it whatever caused the Younger Dryas event? Who knows.

Oh I’ve never taken to Gates.

I never bought the story that he bested IBM at their own game etc.

I always saw him as someone who showed himself ruthless enough to be recruited as the figurehead for the, ‘making connection to the world wide web essential’, phase of Globalisation.

Just like Zelenskyy and every other figurehead creep of recent decades who we eventually discover have nothing but ruthlessness going for them.

Hollywood trained us to see ruthless people as untouchable big bosses.

People like Epstein knew the ruthless to be easily captured & controlled with the terror of being handed over to the vengeful.

I actually agree with most of that rickw.
I hope I don’t misquote him, but I think ‘bern encapsulated it pretty well.
.1 Systems exist already to x-ref individual directors to corporate entities they are directors of (mostly via the ATO);
.2 The ATO and ASIC hate each others guts and don’t share info. And maybe fair enough. To give the ATO it’s due, it didn’t cave to ALP/Greens Senate pressure to breach privacy. Why would they hand info to a clown show like ASIC?
.3 Is ASIC a clown show really? Well, yeah. They have disparate databases and no plan. This is the plan to pull it all together, dressed up as international compliance and tracking dodgy directors.
I see incompetence, bureacratic turf wars and ‘make work’ schemes.

Luck comes to those are prepared to take advantage of it. Gates was a software buff so he had natural inclination to see the money was in the software. IBM probably were arrogant and thought they were smarter than these young geeks although given someone in IBM was close to the Gates family, which is how Microsoft got a look in with IBM, they might have stopped to consider that Bill Gates was one hell of a clever geek. IBM tried to fight back with OS Warp but that was a disaster.

No matter how often wiki re-writes his story, he wasn’t always the smartest of his contemporaries but he was always good at ruthlessly positioning himself over them.

Not a nice guy at all, ever, but he took a lot of heat during the phases of ensuring we got a World Wide Web (of Deception), that would ultimately work to enslave rather than free us as it’s early developers tried to make it.

It was heat he was asbestos clothed to walk through then rewarded with getting on with his greater passion; getting back at the world for his physical & spiritual smallness, playing god as the great population slasher.
