Too many losing players in CCP’s massive 5G scam and now Beijing faces the dilemma too
China Insights
The Chinese Communist Party is spending hundreds of billions of dollars to fund Huawei’s 5G network in an attempt to lead the world in future communications. Many countries are pushing it back including Europe, the US, Japan, and Australia. Growing evidence indicates that CCP’s massive construction of 5G networks in China will only benefit Huawei at the cost of telecom carriers and users. With Huawei’s decline, we see that the 5G race led by it is actually a big scam.

After supper, Jesus went up to the Mount of Olives. Only a few of his most loyal disciples followed him. James, Simon Peter and Andrew.
Simon Peter asked him: Master, how can we know the truth when you leave us for your father’s kingdom?
Jesus said to him: My friend, you worry far too much. Our Father taught us to reason because we are his children.
Simon Peter asked: So we should be child like and ask simple questions?
Jesus said: Yes my friend. It helps to cut through sophistry and deception.
Simon Peter asked: What could such a question be?
Jesus laughed, not mocking Simon Peter but ought of joy and love of humanity as Simon Peter was learning like a curious child.
Jesus then said to all three disciples with him on the Mount of Olives:
…well, here’s an example –
“What can Atlassian software do that you cannot do in Microsoft Office?”
Simon Peter fell to his knees in awe and remarked that this was divine wisdom that guided King Solomon of old.

Reminds me of a discussion with lefty academic. His solution was to give them “indigenous jobs” apart being incredibly patronising. What are those jobs?
Even when given jobs and profitable enterprises they do nothing. Adele’s Grove in Qld is a perfect example. Not sure what has happened to it, but was handed over to the indigenous and became a disaster. It will be interesting to see what happens to Bramwell Station in far north Qld, which was recently handed over to the indigenous, by the government, thankfully minus stock, but with a thriving accommodation park within. There are others around the far north of Australia left to go to ruin.
There was one in Western Australia a couple of years ago, where the cattle died of thirst, while the indigenous couldn’t agree on whose job it was to look after the cattle while the “mob” went “walkabout.”
Does anyone get this?
If Porter had bonked the sheila who made the accusations on behalf of the other sheila who suicided, why didn’t he publicly say so.
It sounds to me like Porter left a whole bunch of jilted lovers lying around.

Fairly relevant that Porter bonked Dyer, when she presents herself as someone with no interest apart from “justice for her dead friend”.

A large swathe of suburbs across Sydney’s north and the northern beaches have been hit by power outages.
Electricity distributor Ausgrid said suburbs affected on Monday night included Beacon Hill, Frenchs Forest, Narraweena, Cromer and Dee Why.
“Our crews are working to safely restore power,” Ausgrid said.
The outages come as households shivering through freezing cold temperatures across NSW on were urged to conserve power in a desperate bid to avoid blackouts amid the ongoing energy crisis.
Unplanned additional coal-fired power outages in Queensland and a cold snap across the east coast on Monday, on top of soaring demand for gas and other energy infrastructure issues, caused a shortage of electricity threatening to impact NSW this week.
In response to the cascading problem, the Australian Energy Market Operator urged NSW residents to conserve power from 8pm and Queensland from as early as 5pm on Monday.
If demand outstrips what is being generated, load shedding will happen to protect the network.
It was expected AEMO would be able to intervene enough to avoid load shedding and blackouts overnight, but the risk remains while ongoing cold weather and unplanned outages push the national grid to the brink.
The federal government will receive rolling briefings on the issue in the coming days, with sources confirming the weather would potentially be the deciding factor in whether blackouts took place.

The power cuts affecting the eastern seaboard must be having some sort of effect, because this is almost sensible.
If this is correct, then a more accurate descriptor would be ‘killed at work’.
It is not unusual for professional soldiers – particularly those who have seen some type of combat before – to leave their jobs and look for mercenary work. Been happening for decades – certainly since the end of WWII, and standing armies of mercs used to roam medieval Europe.
It may give the dunderheads proclaiming their intent to drive trucks full of ‘medical supplies’ and ‘blankets’ to ‘Ukrainian civilians in need’ pause for thought.

The NT News:
There’s a photo accompanying this piece. It’s of an industrial trench, eight feet or more wide and about 60 metres long. Said trench also curves, so it finishes at 90 degrees from where it starts. It varies from three to four feet deep. There are seven (clean) black body bags in various positions in the trench, which is being looked over by a priest and a couple of other random punters. The trench is bone dry.
So either a) these people have been killed, bagged, thrown in the trench, buried, been found, examined, put back in the bags which have been cleaned and repositioned for the photo, b) killed, buried, dug up, examined, bagged and put back in the trench in the ‘found’ positions for the photo, c) Russian soldiers’ bodies have been bagged and thrown into a trench for the photo of ‘civilians’, or d) Ukrainian soldiers’ bodies have been bagged and thrown into the trench for the photo of ‘civilians’.
Or e) – none of the above. The propaganda units on both sides aren’t even trying any more.
Incidentally – if they are the bodies of Ukrainian civilians, and they are some of the people who took the Uke government’s weapons they were giving away hand over fist, then they’re not civilians any more.
The stench is getting stinkier.
Rape activist Jo Dyer’s secret Christian Porter sex history
Jo Dyer, the Adelaide arts administrator who led the charge to tear down former attorney-general Christian Porter over historical rape allegations, had her own sexual history with him at university and failed to disclose it publicly.
The liaison, when both Mr Porter and Ms Dyer were in debating teams at university, is -revealed in a new book, Ego: Malcolm Turnbull and the Liberal Party’s Civil War, to be released this week.
Ms Dyer, who was the director of Adelaide Writers’ Week before unsuccessfully running as an independent candidate for the South Australian seat of Boothby, has been the most vocal advocate for justice for the woman known as “Kate”, a former school friend who said she was raped by Mr Porter.
Kate had claimed she was raped in the early hours of January 10, 1988, at the University of Sydney’s Women’s College after the World Universities Debating Championship.
Despite Ms Dyer pursuing the historical claims and traversing Mr Porter’s sexual history as a teenager, she never revealed her own sexual history with Mr Porter during the campaign to destroy his political career.
The new book Ego, by Australian Financial Review senior correspondent Aaron Patrick, reveals Mr Porter’s and Ms Dyer’s sexual history. “Dyer knew Porter from debating too. Porter told friends he and Dyer slept together when they were university students at debating competitions,” the book says. “Dyer described their encounter as ‘entirely inconsequential and statistically insignificant’.”
Patrick told The Australian he took this “as confirmation”.
In a separate interview in 2021, Dyer had said: “It is on the public record that Christian and I got on well when we first met but there was never anything serious between us and I can’t imagine how our erstwhile friendship could be relevant to the serious allegations Kate made against Christian.’’
Ms Dyer said she was drawn into the Porter controversy in 2019 when she was approached by Kate, a friend from her South Australian debating days, to whom she had not spoken for decades. Kate told her she had been raped by Mr Porter in Sydney when they were both teenagers and she needed her help.
Mr Porter has vehemently denied the allegations.
Kate took the allegations to police in February 2020 but on June 23 that year said she no longer wished to pursue them.
On June 24, Kate, who had a history of mental illness, took her own life. Police later dropped the investigation.
The death of Kate ignited a campaign targeting Mr Porter that has embroiled high-profile media identities and one of Sydney’s top silks, and culminated in Mr Porter’s resignation from politics.
According to Federal Court proceedings, Ms Dyer and ABC Four Corners journalist Louise Milligan were in contact three days after Kate’s death at the suggestion of mutual friend Nick Ryan. Court documents show Ms Dyer was also in text-message contact with ABC journalist Annabel Crabb. Crabb told Ms Dyer she felt “a boiling sense of rage and grief’’ and considered Mr Porter to be “amazingly arrogant to think you can mistreat people and get away with it forever’’.
Crabb then made her home available for Milligan to interview Ms Dyer for Four Corners and informed Ms Dyer about Milligan’s progress (“spoke to L today she is making good progress’’).
Crabb also provided feedback to Ms Dyer after the interview.
“I just had a message from her saying ‘Jo was amazing’ ’’.
In the interview aired on ABC’s Four Corners “Inside the Canberra Bubble” in November 2020, Ms Dyer told Milligan that Kate was a “star” and she imagined her life would be “one of skyrocketing success of achievement”.
The interview, which aired on March 8, 2021, also touched on Ms Dyer’s relationship with Mr Porter. She described him as “charming” and “very confident”, with an “assuredness that was perhaps born of privilege”.
She also said Mr Porter “did not appear to treat women and hold women with respect”.
She described Mr Porter as “brash, blond and breezy”.
“The South Australian teams and the WA teams did become quite good friends,” she said.
Ms Dyer told Milligan she had lost touch with Kate in the late 1980s and early 90s and had not heard from her until 2019.
“We had a bit of a falling out at one point about debating club politics, if you can believe that,” she said. “There was an occasion where we were engaged in a bit too aggressive banter that maybe crossed a line, which she didn’t appreciate, and that just accelerated the different paths on which we were on.”
When contacted by The Australian over whether Milligan knew about Ms Dyer’s intimate relationship with Mr Porter when she reported the story, the ABC responded that it “didn’t customarily comment on what information its journalists had”.
In a subsequent article in February 2021, Milligan alleged there was a suspected rapist in cabinet.
Mr Porter revealed himself as the cabinet minister in question on March 3, 2021, but launched a legal action against the ABC less than two weeks later.
“I did not sleep with the victim. We didn’t have anything of that nature happen between us … I can say to you all it didn’t happen,” he said at his press conference.
Ms Dyer launched legal action that successfully blocked barrister Sue Chrysanthou SC from acting for Mr Porter.
She alleged conflict of interest that arose from a meeting between Ms Dyer and Ms Chrysanthou in November 2020 over an article published in The Australian. Ms Dyer said Ms Chrysanthou had received confidential information she could misuse.
The court ordered Ms Chrysanthou off the case. Subsequently Mr Porter and the ABC settled the defamation case.
During one court hearing, Ms Dyer said she wanted the rape allegation aired to prevent Mr Porter becoming prime minister.
When the defamation case was discontinued, Mr Porter said the accusations could never be proven to the criminal or civil standard. “You can never turn back the clock on this sort of reporting, and that’s why it’s so wrong,” he said.
Ms Chrysanthou and Mr Porter were ordered to pay more than $430,000 for Ms Dyer in legal costs relating to whether the barrister could appear in the case.
In December last year, Mr Porter announced he was quitting politics. In an interview with The Sydney Morning Herald in January, Ms Dyer said, after Mr Porter’s resignation, “it feels like the end of something’’.

Blackout on Northern Beaches amid market operator call for NSW households to conserve power

But for those who did vote for Zali, Sophie and Kylea, shiver, shiver, shiver. You reap what you sow and I’ll drink up the schadenfreude.
“Dyer described their encounter as ‘entirely inconsequential”
Except it was very consequential to what ensued…….very.
There is a pattern forming with Seven-Nilligan.
She has a knack of finding people willing to smear prominent conservatives on behalf of deceased friends. Nilligan’s sources suddenly develop insights into the inner thoughts of their deceased friends which were never expressed whilst they were alive.
First is was “witness J” and Pell.
Then it was Dyer and Porter.
And in both cases the “stunning and brave” bereaved friend (Dyer and J) have been subsequently shown not to have clean hands.
It appears dead men do tell tales, via a well coached and motivated medium.
I wasn’t sure if she was referring to herself or Porter.
But a very strange expression to use.
It is obvious that “Kate” imagined herself as Porter’s future bride and he didn’t reciprocate.
OK, he’s a cad.
Someone mentioned “stigmata” the other day.
Did “Kate” have delusions of martyrdom?
“It is obvious that “Kate” imagined herself as Porter’s future bride and he didn’t reciprocate.”
Yep.
Yep, he was one of many. And ‘entirely inconsequential’ means that she didn’t get the clap or get pregnant. That time.

So, yeah, not crazy at all.

One thing though, I’ll probably pop my face into some businesses around here that had Allegra corflutes in their windows and I’ll enjoy asking them, sweetly of course, “how’s business with no or intermittent power?”……and I’ll laugh my head off in their faces because, quite frankly, I’m sick and tired of being nice.

Queensland power prices have been capped and there’s concern about blackouts. What you need to know
But, but, why?
The AEMO dashboard tells us that the $300/MWh ‘cap’ has become the de facto benchmark price (except in uncapped Tasmania, where the spot price is currently $15,000/MWh).
Their ABC tells us this power price imbroglio is all gas related. Oddly, they don’t seem concerned that renewable generators, with near zero marginal cost of production, are also feasting on the new $300/MWh ‘market price’. And apparently we need more of it.
Technical note: Older Cats will remember $60/MWh average prices back in 2021. Get ready for your home power bill to doubleplus.

3/10 or below is statistically insignificant and a, definite, one night stand .. LOL!
Exceptional work, FarmerG.
At least she didn’t accuse him of being a dud root.
Or did she?
And yet if a Christian claimed to experience stigmata, all the leftist lady luminaries would scoff at the idea that wounds and injury can manifest themselves with no material cause.
One of them on ABC radio this morning saying the answer to the crisis is to close the coal mines because one in four coal generators is presently out for maintenance, precipitating the energy shortfall.
Full moon tonight!
Not one bit punny in my opinion.
Good Lord. The Cat is on fire this morning.
Same, same with dreamtime stuff.
A Catholic splashing Lourdes water on their sick granny is lunacy.
But a proud Witchetty-Grub man talking about the spiritual power of songlines? All good.
Not one bit punny in my opinion.
Bullshit artists are unappreciated in their time.
More good clean pun.
And this differs from fiat currency how?

The ABC correspondent in Colombo (what a gig!) does a vox pop of Sri Lankans:
Warnings that boats will be tuned back are “Australian government propaganda.”
We’ll be sent to an island and after a while be allowed to stay and live happily in Australia.
Now where would they get that idea?

Oh, and my W10 has been running slower than a slug with a tequila hangover for the last few days. Even changing from one tab to another takes a lot of ‘thought.’ Then, when the tab finally loads, I get a message saying that this site – no matter which one – is slowing down Firefox.
So, it could be Firefox. It could also be Telstra, as their wireless transmission has been dodgy recently.
As for the electricity glitches, must admit to a bit of schadenfreude for the Northern Beaches luvvies. I’m seeing one or two politicians suddenly realising that the network can’t run on unicorn farts, and blackouts threaten the most important thing in the universe – themselves. Bugger Da Planet, this is real!
I read that a Victorian ski resort which is being rebuilt can’t open because early snow is hampering construction. They are now closed till next season.
The most loathsome player in this kabuki is the AEMO claiming that they have ‘saved’ the network by compelling operators to do this or that. First they are the architects of failure, then they claim credit for saving it. Typical Leftist schtick.
Starting to see Roberts’ strategy to keep Roe vs Wade on the books, the judgement upon which I’d read was due for release Monday 13 June. It’s nearly 7pm in the US east Coast and no sign of the 5-4 decision being dropped. And that appears to be the trick he’s come up with. Via Powerline:
Roberts Is Courting a Constitutional Crisis (9 Jun)
I didn’t know that before – that a judgement by Scotus isn’t final until released. And the Chief Justice does the releasing. So this may be Roberts’ stratagem – just don’t release the judgement. What a farce.
A standing joke among Catholic old-boys in my neck of the woods.

Last year a business acquaintance told me they were lending their BTC to some group for a rate of interest.
I said it didn’t sound kosher (& I’m pretty positive on the functionality of some crypto & blockchain long term).
They said I didn’t know what I was talking about.
They’ve just posted on LinkedIn about how ASIC should have been protecting investors from all this.
If demand outstrips what is being generated, load shedding will happen to protect the network.
Experts on the electricity system can correct me if I’m wrong,…
Not that long ago, the idea of a government using taxpayers’ money to pay factories to be less productive would have seemed preposterous.
Now we’ve got a well known phrase for it.
Wut?
No.
Any woman getting dicked in Adelaide in the 80s probably is statistically significant.
Even worse, try and get your Crypto money out once the Electricity Power Grid falls over. All you ever had was an electrical/electronic digit in a Giant Ponzi Scheme. Call that money? I don’t think so.
And this differs from fiat currency how?
Just keep at least 3 months of living expenses cash money on hand (under the mattress maybe) and have a load of silver Kookaburra $1 (nominal value) in a safe place. These can be sold for cash when needed.
Good Luck with the Crapto Crypto……………………….
Ah.
The National Health Service model from the UK.
100% true, that story – from my school, anyway. Frankly, I feel a bit short-changed myself.
Lol. That’s one way of putting it.
In Adelaide back then there were far more pooftah pansies being thrown in the Torrens than women getting a root.
I only ever tell 100% truthy stories.
Let the quadrennial(?) celebration of wog ball commence. I’ll just dust off this article about how soccer is poised to become a major sport in Australia.

ARE SOUTHERN BAPTISTS STILL PEOPLE OF THE BOOK?

N.B. Titus mentioned in the article
BTC is an asset and can be leased or loaned for a return just like any other asset. There is of course the risk that you wont get your asset back – just like any other investment.
So Titus is a go-to guy for Southern Baptists?
The pieces are starting to fall into place.
The best Adelaide story is still the former Premier getting a black eye after being hit by his mistresses husband with a rolled up magazine at a wine tasting – allegedly.
Quite, but PMs and Cryptos are not mutually exclusive, the are both potential hedges against loss of value of fiat currency.
You makes your own luck – I bought my first BTC at $800 AUD, todays price is $32k, I think I will be alright.
Bear at 9:11.
Ha ha.
I’d forgotten about that.
Obviously the “jealous husband” story was a cover for a Hellfire Club discipline session which went a bit too far.
Wikipedia – “Influenza, commonly known as “the flu”, is an infectious disease caused by influenza viruses.”

1/10 to Ed for turning up to troll, but no points for accuracy, humour, sincerity or convincing argument.
PS Bear.
Rann wasn’t hit with a newspaper.
It was a copy of the “Barossa Vigneron’s Quarterly”.
Thick and glossy, like the ‘lady’ who was the subject of the dispute.
A far more formidable weapon than a rolled up ’tiser.
Titus isn’t the “go to” guy. The (traditional) author is Saint Paul. Titus is the recipient of the letter.
Titus was having all sorts of trouble with establishing the Church in Crete – opposition, interference, personal agendas…the usual stuff. The letter instructs him on how to counter all the pitfalls, including the appointment of church leaders.
Best Adelaide story is It’s grossly improper by Des Ryan and Mike McKeown.
All Tether & stable coin related ecosystems are scams.
All crypto lending ecosystems are scams.
BTC is not a scam.
ETH is not a scam.
The tricky part will be finding out which exchanges are scams (& therefore were never real exchanges in the true sense of the word).
My humble abode on the Northern Beaches is in Mackellar.
The NBN was out for quite a while because of the power outage.
Then to add insult to injury my morning cup of schadenfreude was so cold I had to crack the ice before drinking it.
Even my most leftist of friends and family are beginning to draw the dots between phasing out coal and blackouts.
Best Adelaide movie is The Plumber
Best Adelaide Name is our own Nelson Kidd_Players.
It was a copy of the “Barossa Vigneron’s Quarterly”.
If it was Sydney, it would have either been the Weekend Domain, the Wentworth Courier or maybe even Fist Quarterly.
So Titus isn’t really the authority then?
That is disappointing news.
If it was Newcastle, it would be a stick of fourbetwo.
Don’t you just love the Democrats? The guy who is now Mayor of New York is turning out to be a complete looney.
Mayor Eric Adams believes NYC is filled with ‘special energy’ because of mysterious stones under the city, wears multi-colored energy stone bracelets and consults with holistic healers (11 Jun, via Surber)
I find it fascinating how they keep on finding people like this for high office. As for the “store of rare gems and stones” that’s probably really really comforting for the jewelry shop owners who keep on being stripped of their gems and stones by crims who steal them.

No its not blackouts its….
Energy supply gaps forecast in Queensland and NSW amid electricity shortages during cold snap
The regulator is ordering generators back into the market to avoid blackouts
https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2022/jun/14/energy-supply-gaps-forecast-in-queensland-and-nsw-amid-electricity-shortages-during-cold-snap
On Tuesday morning, the one state in the national market without a price cap was getting spot prices at the maximum market level of $15,100/mwh.
Tell me again, the story of the robber barons of the golden age of railroad…
The ones who slurped down subsidies, the manipulated prices..
He said the introduction of the price caps had prompted some generators to withdraw from the market as the limit was “too low to cover their costs”.
“So this is a market failure issue,” Kean said. “Aemo, the system operator, they have the power to direct plants to put electricity into the system and that’s exactly what they’re doing at the moment”.**
“So the system operator has this under control,” he said. “We’re keeping a close watch on it, I’m confident that there’s enough plants available to ensure reliability throughout the week,” he said.
However, Dylan McConnell, an energy expert at Melbourne University, said the forecast shortfalls were artificial, caused by the sudden withdrawal of capacity from the market.
This is pretty rubbish behavior – over 3GW of generation withdrawn from NSW market at one point overnight

In Victoria, 2 gigawatts of generation capacity had also been pulled out overnight. The state’s brown coal plants are not linked to global markets and their fuel has not increased in line with those international price spikes.
So brown coal the cheapest, reliable source of energy…
If only someone had thought of building a station powered by it.
The federal climate and energy minister, Chris Bowen, told RN Breakfast he was also confident that the electricity sector would avoid blackouts during the cold snap.
He agreed it was “not a perfect system”, but the price caps had prompted generators to withdraw, only to be instructed back into the market by Aemo.
Energy ministers would look at the market’s operation “in due course”, Bowen said.
The challenge was “you can’t predict when a coal-fired power station is going to go out”, reinforcing the need to make the transition to “new forms of energy” that the previous government had failed to do.***
Asked about reported price-gouging by energy companies offering businesses only short-term expensive supplies, Bowen said the energy ministers had tasked the competition regulator to act against “any untoward behaviour” in the market.

I think, and Im going out on a limb here, I can confidently say things will get much worse before they get better.
I think, and Im going out on a limb here, I can confidently say things will get much worse before they get better.
Oh yes.
& I look forward to the ABC telling us why:
1) power outages are not an issue &
2) if they are an issue, it’s Tony Abbott’s fault.
The Grauniad may yet be Lord Waffleworth’s greatest achievement.
Good luck with that. I had a look at the AEMO pricing stuff a little earlier and it’s pretty clear the $300 emergency price cap is on all the eastern states, not just Qld.
Desperate lefties always resort to price controls and price controls always end up in the same place: nothing on the shelves.
Note to self: Read up on customs before attending a wedding in Uzbekistan.
This is the mantra repeated by every “expert” & politician ABC radio interviews on the topic.
Never let a crisis go to waste.
How very very true.

Two of the three newly elected Greens federal parliamentarians from Brisbane have hyphenated names.
I understand this trend, popular amongst a certain cohort in society, is intended to honour the mother’s family heritage.

Just a small anecdote I heard from a friend on election night regarding the bias at the ABC.
The same friend has done some work at the ABC. That person got into a lift which also had two well-known females from ABC News and Current affairs.
One of those women had recently done a puff piece series on high profile Australians and cooking.
The night before was the episode that featured Scomo at home cooking his curries. One women said to the host “I watched the show, how did you think it went.” The answer, “He and his family were really nice.” She continued to her fellow journo:- “It was really hard, because I’m supposed to hate him.”
The last sentence is verbatim. This journo is feeling bad because her natural disposition is to hate Morrison and presumably others like him. What hope do anyone on the centre right have in dealing with the ABC.
I write this because the Oz article about Jo Dyer’s features the same women presenters who are hiding facts that are pertinent to understanding the Porter case for their own appalling reasons.
Anybody able to link to the Quadrant article by Keith Windschuttle “The Voice and the End Of Traditional Aboriginal Culture?” Good argument that the indigenous can’t claim sovereignty over Australia, because they never had it in the first place, and “traditional” culture died out some years ago….
