Eyrie:

Does Australia now do a pre-emptive invasion of the Solomons?

For Gods sake, Eyrie, don’t give the idiots any funny ideas.

The other interesting aspect of the doco was the chronic shortage of truck drivers. Huge problem! There is a tendency to think of supply chain issues being about what is happening at the port but any bottleneck in the supply chain is a problem and at present a lack of truck drivers is a big bottleneck.

let me explain why.
I don’t respond to all choo choo’s insanity, but just lately, while trolling away, he sniff, sorry, sniff…..it’s hard for me to relay his sad story, bare with me….sniff……had to get jabbed or he’d be sacked.
Simultaneously he said there were thousands of jobs everywhere.
Especially in road transport.

Why do you think it was truckies and not railworkers in Canada.
Freedom and self reliance are strong in my breed.
Scoff as you will.
But these men will not be told by a fucking bureacrat to take a jab and get a green tick.
We have a keen sense of being nobody’s bitch.

Thousands of truck driving jobs are up for grabs.

There are thousands of us unjabbed fuckers and bloody proud of them I am.

Buy you see, the freight is brought to choo choo.
We go and get it.
From businesses who require enjabbination before we get through the gate.
And three if it’s a mine site.

I can’t destroy all his 24/7 lunacy and trolling.
The fucker does nothing, our little union comrade troll.

You know when you’ve lost Panzy Smollett of the Slip lane of lies?

When you aren’t worth replying to.
Do you have a wife?
She must have caught you with your hand on it by now?

Or do you have a good hiding spot?

Or are you like the others who can’t get or keep a woman telling everyone else they are losers in life?

Cassie of Sydney:

John H. Given the time it would take to journey to other planets along with trying to establish a colony on a planet like Mars, I agree with you. I don’t think we can live anywhere else.

Cassie, there will be problems – there always is.
We will solve them – as we always do.
(Except for the truck/train problem.)

We’re good at solving engineering problems but human behavior problems are still very much a work in progress. That’s another aspect of long distance space travel people don’t think about. How will people respond to the prospect of no hospital, locked away in a small vessel for months on end with only a few people?

BBS

This rant is about the possible loss of a way of life and a way of thought and attitude that held that in this country we were One and we were Freebecause our forefathers had fought to make it so. We can’t let any of this be forgotten, especially not by the politicians and bureaucrats that did it to us.

As someone (willfully pricked) said here something like “Stop making victims out of yourselves, get on with the program!”

I’m afraid the gap between “clean” and “unclean” is unbridgeable now. This can only be changed by a massive economic depression, which could be around the corner, btw.

I hear that NSW (this last great hope we had) bans any protest from tomorrow(?), unless you are protesting in a state-sanctioned place, on a state-sanctioned topic, and you have a prior permission of the state. So much for democracy.

Come on biggles….critique that post I made at 4.34.
No insults just say where I am wrong or a different analysis.
Come along you wet fuck.
All you can do is insult.
Dover should boot you and your gang to fuck, you ruin this place.

Bar Beach Swimmer.
I appreciate your comment.
It is this simple for me.

Now, remember, I think KD is a low fucker.
He was the first to shout and point at me as to being a grifter for wanting to disobey orders and go to our cenotaphs on ANZAC day, somethind I still firmly believe would have given them reason to think twice regarding their next move.
He really started rubbishing me and trying to classify me as a conspiracy theorist etc.
I hold nothing but contempt for him.
However he had good reason to get the jab.
I’ve never had a go at him about that.
(Maybe he would not of had to get the jab, if as a self proclaimed right wing type he supported disobedience early on, but that’s another story)

Up until Kneel dropped his sandwiches, I was praising him for his attitude.
And he’d had the jab.
He was fuming about getting the jab.
What I won’t fucking tolerate anymore, are the jabbed who start excusing themselves and then blaming the unjabbed for not being heroes like they apparently are by allowing a slave collar to be put around their necks without a fight.
Grown fucking men sniffing about it being a personal choice when it’s anything but.
You might expect that sort of irresponsible bullshit from a woman like Notaclue, but men have no excuse.
Every person that surrendered and took a jab hurt other people in doing so.
There should end the discussion and the reasoning.
They helped destroy their nation, destroy children’s lives and their fellow countrymen, and any man, any right wing man that denies it is fooling himself, leading to denialism.
But they’ll have a chance to change things now they know that submission didn’t work.
How many boosters are they going to have?

They problem is right wing men knew better.
I haven’t hurt a soul in all this.
I haven’t become anyone’s bitch.
And yet choo choo keeps making money while he’s fine with all other Wesern Australians being basically imprisoned and faces covered.
Fuck knows how you live with yourselves, because compliance let it happen.
Compliance let it happen.
Personal responsibility.
The women have got mouthy and had too much to say in recent times.
They’ve never had to worry about hard times because when they came, hard men came forward.
They’ve never defended or built any civilisation and therefore have had way too much to say.
But we as men should have, and I did, know when we should have stood firm.

The point being, now you’ve made the situation worse for others and there will be boosters and other things that you’ll “have to do” to keep your green tick and your social credit points….when are you going to stand up?

Insanity is not attractive.
Look at what this blog has become.

As compared to the Judean Popular Peoples’ Front schtick you’ve got going on back at the Furniture Store?

Where between yourself, ‘pete,’ SRR and Bird I’ve been truly and properly elevated to the status of Satan (or at least Emmanuel Goldstein, or Leon Trotsky after Stalin took over rhe Soviet Union)?

And children, please stop bickering. It’s tedious and makes me feel mature and wise, which I strongly dislike.

Dover, can you please change my account name to Emmanuel Goldstein-Devilbastard, please?

My name is in the mouths of many angry, Nuffy people now, and I would like it to have some teeth…

I can’t destroy all his 24/7 lunacy and trolling.
The fucker does nothing, our little union comrade troll.

You will call me by my name, tax-eater.

Or you will continue to clash your gears and jake-brake in the impotent frustration you share with your little Furniture Store ‘Friends.’

Digging trenches? Why on earth would they be digging trenches? Because digging trenches is what soldiers do?

If an infantryman stops for more than 10 minutes, he at least digs a shell scrape – an indentation in the ground that allows him to lie flat so shell splinters go over, not through.
Yes it’s what soldiers do – especially the ones who want to make it back home.

Also the blast pressure wave. Destroys lungs and brains. In Iraq the USA developed an intriguing idea: use face shield to protect the brain from a pressure wave. The brain is something like jelly so any pressure wave can damage it. That’s why concussion can be so damaging.

Can’t remember where I heard this but I like it: the only glory in war is surviving.

Come on biggles, critique my post, is there any truth in it or is there any argument against any of it?
Even your financial hero hasn’t made a comment.
You biggles are full of shit.
None of your tag team have come to dispute it.
As I have said many times biggles you are full of shit.
Critique that post or forever lose what little credibility you ever had.

Well that shut everyone up. 🙂

Rickw, don’t forget that scummo is a complete cunt.

Biggles I am still waiting for your rebuttal, or are you getting the groovy gang together?

There we go ….one of the tag team turns up…pathetic toss pots.

Notafan, just fuck off you useless pos.

I’m sober as a judge. Unfortunately. At least the kilos are disappearing.

Choo choo man, let biggles reply you insignificant parrot.

Poor Struth-sock.

Incompetent and impotently inchoate as OG Struth, and doubly so under this login…

Or he’s just a crank using this as an excuse.

I wonder why the spooks haven’t taken him away like his been saying for many years.

Useful tool for undermining the movement or just one many to insignificant not worthy of their time.

Rosie, it’s fairly easy to walk away from a home mortgage in the US, as all the bank can do is take back the house even if it won’t cover the debt. Here they can take away everything else you own or may earn in the future. Dunno if that’s a good or bad thing.

It’s a popular myth, but it’s not that simple.

Firstly, it only applies in some States. In others, it’s the same as here – a debt is a debt.

Secondly, if you do walk away legally, it is a huge black mark on your credit rating, which is not trivial if you ever want to get a loan of any size in the future. In other words, your chances of ever getting another home loan are vanishingly small. Unless, of course, some idiot politician introduces yet another boondoggle which enables it.

2 words some form of that concept will likely appear under innthe very near future:

“Housing Equity.”

More short-sighted and unthought-out Equality of Outcome politics to satisfy rich ‘radicals.’

I’m pretty sure it was bad loans like that which provoked the Freddie Mac/Fannie Mae collapses and the whole GFC business, correct?

The Solomons – Beijing goes Ka-Ching!

And/or us, other Solly elements, the NZers (maybe) and the USMC eventually get to re-enact the Battle of Guadalcanal in 2042…

Indeed, indeed, I do repeat myself.

They are both candidates for the seat of Wentworth.

Urk, that’d be a ghastly place to live right now. Electronic cacophony. Only after the last election has Hunter come into play, and recently the Nat has somehow gotten my email address. I’ve refrained from telling him what I think.

I wasn’t aware of Brand promoting “conspiracy theories”. What he does is present all the aspects of a story in an entertaining way, gives his opinion and asks his audience for theirs.

Compare and contrast with the shrieking partisan monobrowed Imperial Media, pushing one side of a story and one side only, then “interpreting” the story to push their pre-conceived narrative, and only accepting feedback from those who agree.

Hollywood career “tanked”? Laurence Fox could give a useful insight as to why.

Same in one side of my family as well. Grew up in Liverpool/Green Valley then similar areas around Campbelltown. Most turned out very successful to the point of a a few SME’s owners these days, despite humble beginnings. Also probably some of the down to earth people you will meet.

Albo’s academic CV looks nothing like any of my relatives that came out of disadvantage. In all fairness if his mum was instrumental on getting him scholarship to St Mary’s then all credence to her and him but if not who paid for the tuition at St Mary’s? Not a cheap school by the looks.

Good luck to Grace Tame’s fiancee.

They can be as queer as clockwork oranges and I don’t give a damn as long as they produce sensible arguments and provide evidence for their claims.

I find brand goes too slowly and dwells on the bleeding obvious. PJW is OK. Shapiro is a bit academic, but usually tolerable. As to whom they shag, I have zero interest.

Look, it is a pointer to recession but it doesn’t have to be. I think the fed won’t allow tightening to run the place over a cliff.

This is key. The Fed’s record (vs the yield curve) isn’t great by any means. And the current batch of wise men don’t instill confidence. Currently the gap to inversion is a minuscule .04 and with 6 for 6 accuracy since 1980 I’d be very surprised indeed if this Fed can beat history. I do agree though that commodities be going higher and if so bring on the recession eventually- we will be seeing much higher energy and metals prices.

Jordan Peterson’s podcasts are now almost entirely unlistenable – he interrupts his guests constantly to talk about himself, his experiences, some observation of his or factoid he knows, and it’s usually something he must have mentioned dozens, maybe hundreds of times before. And very frequently, it’s when one of his guests is in the middle of saying something interesting. It is so frustrating. Stfu and let your damn guest finish a sentence, Jordan.

Russel Brand is a brilliant actor. His early work as a guttersnipe intellefty was fun and accessible, but the second act, re-interpreting (or maybe simply re-citing) anti-globalist podcasts is a tour de faux.

Jordan Peterson, another Spook.
These people’s mission is to demoralise you, not to entertain you.

But I’m confused, was his career finished before that, or is it finished now?

I just thought Russell Brand played Russell Brand.

And Hollywood got bored with Russell Brand playing Russell Brand, in a way they haven’t yet tired of Ryan Reynolds playing Ryan Reynolds…*

* Deadpool and Deadpool 2 were pretty good. Ryan Reynolds plays a better Ryan Reynolds than Russell Brand plays Russel Brand, I guess.

How will people respond to the prospect of no hospital, locked away in a small vessel for months on end with only a few people?

I put in for one of the Antarctic jobs as an RN in the support role – coincidentally it was the year the lady doctor found a lump in her breast and removed it herself. Unfortunately I didn’t get the position, it would have been great.
Remote Health personnel are happy to do all kinds of stuff beyond the normal fringes of practice. Perhaps it takes a person of independent character to take on a space travel job, but even now at 70, I’d do it even if it was just doling out the radiation pills. The men on Shackletons voyages had no guarantee of hospitals or even survival, but they went anyway.

Yes, the enclosed environment would be a challenge. Personalities will grate on each other after just a small amount of time, but remember that we’ve been putting men (and Women!) in submarines for a very long time. Long term isolation shouldn’t be a problem especially given the sorts of personalities that would be picked.
The pioneering/explorer gene has not yet been extinguished.

Don’t know how you do that Winston. I couldn’t handle the constant people contact let alone sick people contact.

For long distance space travel there are so many issues I think automation is a far better option than humans. Besides that we’re going to need some type of field to protect us from G forces during the acceleration phase. Even if we reach light speed that it is still 4 years to the closest star and multiples of that to the closest possibly habitable planet. I think before we get too carried away with the prospects we need a new kind of physics to address speed, G, and radiation issues. At present everything we know limits us to under light speed. If we don’t break that it won’t be worth the effort. The only other alternative would be an artificial planet, perhaps a powered asteroid made livable with humans basically accepting that as their lot in the life. Like The Space Beagle by A.E van Vogt.

Puller is the most decorated Marine in American history. He was awarded 5 Navy Crosses and one Distinguished Service Cross. With 6 crosses, Puller is second behind Eddie Rickenbacker for citations of the nation’s second-highest military award for valor …

More this week on BHP Coal haemorrhaging workers especially the skilled ones with experience. Most have had enough with diversity and the hiring of cleanskins it at an all time high.

Peabody have had a merger of Moorevale & Coppabella with regard to the site management. Be interesting to see which SSE got the gig for this one, I hear the one at Moorevale may have been responsible for the dumping overburden on some areas they would have loved to have mined when he was working at Coppabella. Also I know the QG has told them no way on moving the Peak Downs Hwy (again) so they can push across to the south west. Seems to be a cone of silence on the particulars of the death at Goon Nth too which is odd.

Also from those who have connections the predictions of the death of coal in Queensland are overstated. Apparently as usual Queensland Government is speaking on both sides of their mouth…

Well said Winston, the idiot does it every other week or so & I should take no notice of the arsehole.

Hackworth wasn’t the most decorated American Soldier in history either.
5 Navy Crosses and 1 Distinguished Service Cross outranks 10 Silver Stars.

I was just now looking up such things, since I’d earlier read in Long of a native PNG soldier of the Pacific Islands Regiment who was awarded a Bronze Star. The wiki though says it was a Legion of Merit, which was analogous to the Bronze Star before the latter was instituted in 1944. Either way a PNG guy in service of the Australian Army receiving a Bronze Star from the US Army would have quite a tale attached to it. I couldn’t find out anything about the guy or the circumstances though.
