This overt racism against Indians – and it is racism – is, in fact, driven by insecurity.
I work in a large global engineering firm, and the trend has been to move a lot of design drafting, document control, and even basic accounting work offshore, first to China, now to India and I predict Africa might be next.
The reaction from those who could see their jobs being offshored was predictably defensive.
But illogically so.
The level of nit-picking scrutiny of standards of work delivered from offshore, but not applied to locally sourced work was something to behold.
Until one senior manager turned up to a design review one day, threw a bunch of documents with scores of post-it notes stuck to them on the table …
“Never, ever, complain about design work out of Beijing or India when your guys serve up shit like this”.
Mind you, no-one ever said there was shit on the drawings.
Just that they were shitty drawings.
Truth is, racism often surfaces when your position is threatened.

Used to work with an Indian engineer. One of the guys made racist comments all the time to him. He never got upset or anything like that. His best response was ‘my ancestors were civilised when yours were still living in caves’. No more racist remarks.

Demented crook is a correct description JC and think of the fuckwits in Delaware who voted him in decade after decade

Here’s the reality:
There’s no Rule Of Law in India.
If you’ve got something someone more powerful wants, then Hard Luck Charlie.

Tucker: Biden can’t regulate his emotions

Getting angry & telling Doocy that US troops were training Ukraine troops in Poland would have been the equivalent of LBJ or Nixon telling the press corps that yes, the US were in Cambodia & Laos.

He was wrong. Not well known is the advancement of the Indus valley civilization but our ancestors were not living in caves and in fact we probably had common ancestors because the Yamnaya people moved from near now Ukraine east to Europe, west to northern Asia and south into India. The movement to Europe was earlier than northern India\Pakistan.

It haunted him for decades. Armchair gamers have no idea.

I was asked the question of shooting prisoners several times whilst serving, by young men and women. When I returned the question back to the querier, no one ever gave the answer most applicable – “Because when the war is over, you have to live with yourself.”
“That’s why you don’t shoot prisoners, son. You will never forget their eyes.”

Tucker’s right, Zip. They have to invoke the 5th as Hiden can’t remain in power. As terrible as it sounds, Harris could not be any worse than this demented crook.

that “JFK” moment, Polish speech was no gaffe, it was all on the teleprompter. who wrote the speech? its either incompetence or a setup.

That’s a generalisation though. Given that shooting prisoners and civilians is not that uncommon in warfare I seriously doubt many felt a deep guilt about it afterwards. I can’t be sure, the military bods here might know, but I suspect snipers experience high rates of PTSD. It has been reported that drone pilots experienced very high rates of PTSD.

Tucker: Air travel hell: What is Mayor Pete doing about airline crisis?

Bespoke:

Because there is still a chance, Winston.

Don’t get me wrong, Bespoke, the place is still worth fighting for*. I just felt it was a valid point to raise.
*The country is worth fighting for, it’s just at the moment with being treated like a leper at the doctors surgery and the pub, many of the people aren’t worth a bucket of warm shit.

Tucker’s right, Zip. They have to invoke the 5th as Hiden can’t remain in power. As terrible as it sounds, Harris could not be any worse than this demented crook.

The latest is that the sainted Beau was a thief as well.
After he died, brother Hunter stepped into his bed, if not his shoes.

Meanwhile, Secret Service vets say Joe used to walk around naked.

This is a family of criminals and perverts.

How on EARTH can this go on for all of this year and all of next year?

The Biden trip to Europe will be seen as one of the worst diplomatic missions in modern history.

Now – apparently Lachlan Murdoch has made a ‘good speech’ to, get this, the IPA.
So someone in the next room tells me anyway. I haven’t read it yet.

Here’s Lachlan. I get the sense that things are changing; there’s back-pedalling going on and the Murdoch son is leading the way:

The Centre for the Australian Way of Life was launched at the Institute of Public Affairs on Tuesday. Read the full launch speech here.

Australians must embrace and preserve the nation’s inherent rugged optimism, its sense of innate fairness and its commitment to freedom of expression, in order to counter the poisonous counter-narrative being pushed by some politicians and media outlets, News Corporation co-chairman Lachlan Murdoch says.

In a keynote speech delivered at the Institute of Public Affairs on Tuesday night, Mr Murdoch said Australia’s culture and identity “are not, and cannot be frozen in time”.

“We are not who we were 100 years ago, or who we might become 100 years from now,” he said. “Understanding first what characteristics make us unique and what shared values unite us, is essential before we can celebrate the good, reject the bad, and yes, embrace the new.”

Mr Murdoch observed that Australians had an “innate concept of fairness” and a “visceral sense of what we call a “fair go”.

“This is our own idea, an antipodean concept, a deeply rooted understanding that whatever our circumstances, we deserve the same opportunities, the same respect, the same fair go,” he said.

“It is why we welcome immigrants, embrace aspiration, and scoff at class-based deference.”

Mr Murdoch criticised elements of the media, including the ABC, which he said often misrepresents the key traits and outlook of modern Australia.

“To listen to our national broadcaster or much of the media elite is to hear about a uniquely racist, selfish, slavish, and monochromatic country,” he said. “The reality could not be more different – we are one of the most tolerant, generous, independent and multicultural countries in human history. Not without fault, but without peer.”

He said it was vital that younger Australians were armed with all the relevant facts and not undermined by being fed “false ideological narratives”.

“How can we expect people to defend the values, interests and sovereignty of this nation if we teach our children only our faults, and none of our virtues?” he said.

He also said all Australians should cherish – and fight to uphold – their precious rights to freedom of opinion, religion and sexuality, and their capacity to travel, read and watch whatever they choose.

“The way Australians are identified should not be political, nor economic or be determined by class or education, race or sex or whether a person is a new immigrant or members of the nation’s oldest peoples,” he said.

“An Australian identity unites all of us. Together we are strong. Divided we are weak.

“But our national identity and culture are weathering constant attempts to recast Australia as something it isn’t.”

Mr Murdoch discussed the impacts of the Covid pandemic on Australians, including the handling of lockdowns by the different state leaders and harsh measures enforced on millions of Australians.

“We became a victim of our own success, with state leaders thinking they could outdo each other with lockdowns and remain Covid-free forever,” he said.

“The popularity of these approaches no doubt was fuelled by the alarmist language and fear mongering of politicians and much of the media.”

Among those attending the launch of the IPA’s Centre for the Australian Way of Life – which aims to provide cultural and intellectual leadership for the nation – were former prime minister and IPA fellow Tony Abbott, News Corp CEO Robert Thomson, Sky News Australia CEO Paul Whittaker, Herald and Weekly Times chairman Penny Fowler, CLP Senate candidate Jacinta Nampijinpa Price and IPA executive director John Roskam.

Mr Murdoch highlighted the dangers of suppressing information or “cancelling” someone if their opinion is not shared by others, and referred to the ban video-sharing giant YouTube enforced on Sky News Australia in August last year.

“We must always be wary of the suppression of information,” he said. “The contemporary thrill to ‘cancel’ someone whose opinion you do not share is just the latest insidious form of censorship.

“Infamously, YouTube banned Sky News Australia based on YouTube’s own judgments and changing standards about a handful of pandemic-related videos.

“Initially, YouTube justified this censorship by stating, ‘YouTube does not allow for content that denies the existence of Covid-19’.”

But when YouTube was challenged over it, the digital platform “could not find a single instance of Sky ever denying the existence of Covid-19, so they had to pivot quickly and shift their justifications”, Mr Murdoch said.

He also spoke of the importance of the media pursuing the truth, above all else.

Mr Murdoch made special reference to The Australian’s investigative reporter Sharri Markson’s book, What really happened in Wuhan, published by Harper Collins last year.

“It was a brave and open quest for the truth,” he said. “Had Sharri not written such a compelling and well-sourced book, would the tech companies and media elites eventually have come around and published the facts themselves?” he said. “Presumably only when they could no longer justify hiding obvious truths.

“But that is not brave. That is not journalism.”

SOPHIE ELSWORTHMEDIA WRITER

I don’t want to know any more of you personally, nor do I take anything said here personally.
After making the point over Ukraine I will fade away again.
You’re all not that interesting.

off you go then

Mostly in the roadhouses they run.

Tell me about it. They keep the kranskies well past the use by date, and they skim too much off the impoverished girl outside making her living from $20 wristies.

I happen to be highly skilled at not stepping in cowshit outside roadhouses

I had both feet implanted in cowshit on a hill in Iceland watching the skies do their electric dance.
It was bloody freezing and it provided some insulation.
It’s not always bad. 🙂

What does an SAS NCO have to do to be admitted to a Delta Force club?

Lower their standards?

You binned a lot of Bird’s comments at the Furniture Store.

I do it out of love for my fellow human beings.
He gets so worked up, and after all he may be jabbed………..

Fuck ’em.

Emotional!

Seriously, none of this is getting my uniforms delivered.

132andbush:

I suppose I just sense a scam around the employment of them along the lines of the students from India etc working in every bloody servo around the country and literally pushing local people out of work ( as happened in our town).

As has just happened recently in Barcaldine.
6 local girls lost their jobs and have been replaced by about 10 subcontinentals who don’t have a clue what they’re doing. But they love to enforce the petty masking rules. Actually, it seems to be a characteristic of the social environment –
Treated like a leper in the docs surgery by an Indian who interposed a rubbish bin between him and myself during a consultation.
Refused service at the servo because no mask – I have an exemption.
Pharmacist who interprets scripts depending on his mood and where he sees you on the social totem pole. (His assumption is that he is superior.) I really dislike being spoken down to by anyone.
So now – go to different servo, go to a different doc, buy pharmaceuticals on line.
I didn’t make a fuss, I just didn’t come back.

Did you ever use the hole?

Only the front one.
But then again I’m not a wog.

BUT IT DID HAPPEN.

Okay – so it’s gone from ‘does happen’ to ‘did happen’, and the time of death has now gone from the original 48 months to 60.

It’s like the Net Zero aspirational goals. 2020, 2030, 2050, walk it back, repeat.

Anyone who is in the placebo or untouched trial group, i.e. totally unvaccinated, may enter the pub & rub shoulders with everybody else.

The letter ends with a stern reminder of my legal obligation to keep unvaccinated out, coz public health is not worth the risk.

What hypocrites they are, Steve.

I guess this is just a Queensland trial?

Are pubs still closed off to the unvaxxed in NSW? I’ve lost track of it all lately.
No-one here seems to take a blind bit of notice of it any more.
——–

The above is my response to the letter Steve at the Pub received today (I put it up here but it went into moderation because my name had turned itself into Lizzieo.)

I find a lot of Steve’s info about running a pub in remote Queensland quite interesting. One of the things that is good about the Cat is the different occupations and experiences people bring here.

So I can only speak about the past, KD.

And the future, apparently. 60 months away.

One thing Lachlan Murdock didn’t cover was how indoctrination of kids takes place in the education system – schools and universities – and also in the bureaucracy, led by a generation of people who were themselves subject to Marxist indoctrination. It’s not all just the media.

But a change in the media would be a welcome change indeed. A lot of people are influenced by it.

I have a good mate who is a wog, Miss Smollett.
He knows he’s a wog.
I call him a wog.
He makes jokes regarding my big penis.
Then we all have a good laugh.

So do all the nips and spicks and Micks and abos and poofs we know.
They just aren’t as precious as you fainting violets.

So do all the nips and spicks and Micks
