multi-millionaire cover story turns out to be fake

I was up front with a sugar baby last night that she was fishing ecologically dead waters.

I have failing mining businesses to invest in, after all.

Further, if ‘a permanent underclass of underpaid workers for capitalists to exploit’ was the object why would capitalists actually oppose it, and why are neoliberals in and out of the Repubs vocal opponents? You really didn’t think this one through, Monty.

And why are “woke” businesses offering to fund inter-state travel for abortions? Surely it wouldn’t be to avoid the costs of maternity leave, and to establish “a permanent underclass of underpaid workers for capitalists to exploit”?

Actually, there aren’t. Depends where you are located and if you wish to spend money on fares.
Opening hours can be uncertain. And mobile units can be uncertain in their times too. You also have to be fairly well locked into the homeless ‘system’ to even know about half of these places.
I haven’t deserved all of my luck, so I think I can spread a bit about. People making a living by begging is humiliating for them, and sometimes the best they can do. I often gift a gold coin or two.

Who am I to judge?

Better co-ordinated services would help to solve some, but not all, of this misery.

I could not disagree more. I know some homeless people and they know plenty of places to eat and to get help. And they are not drug addicts either. They are fairly educated people who have fallen on hard times. One of the best places to eat is a new place (this year) in Surry Hills near the Surry Hills Light Rail Station run by OzHarvest. You can get a 3 Course Vegetarian Lunch Meal at a restaurant building on Tuesdays to Fridays each week. The place takes anyone free of charge and has a ‘top notch’ Chef’. Then there are loads of Churches that help out (Vinnies and the Sally Army too) with meals and provisions/clothes etc. ‘Loaves and Fishes’ in Ashfield and many others help to.

However, there are homeless people who will not bother to find this out – either from laziness, mental issues, drugs or whatever.

You are right in saying that better co-ordinated services would help though.

No one in Sydney, especially the CBD area and suburbs close to the City should ever go hungry if they have 2 legs and can walk.

The message of ‘The Implication’ is for girls to be very careful where they go to with strange men.

Always have an escape route planned at the very least.

These silly young women were blinded by bling and promises from Ghiselene; she probably helped to calm their fears and then did nothing to help them. I suspect though that most of them went in eyes wide open knowing what the deal would be, implicitly agreeing to it.

The younger ones, maybe not so much.

In my long life I’ve come across real male power in threatening situations.

It’s not a hypothetical any more, rosie. It happened mere days after Dobbs came down. It’s the new normal in American red states.

Fatboy, Columbus / Indianapolis is a 2.40 hour road trip, which is not going to kill the 10 year old to be driven there. Rural people in Oz are often coming into the big cities for medical stuff undergoing a 3 hour plus drive.

And yea, there will be temporary displacement as a result of overturning a terrible decision (Roe vs Wade) and now the state government apparatus in each state will have to determine what their constituents want. Don’t blame the changes that have to be made on the new SCOTUS decision. Blame the arseholes who disrupted the constitution with Roe. Now go eat your donuts.

Good news for m0nty-fa!

China has denounced the USSC decision on the EPA/administrative state. China insists that the US continue to destroy its economy, so that China can become the world’s economic superpower.

Oops, sorry, misread the statement. China demands that the US meet all its commitments to save Gaia. No mention that China continues to increase its emissions of the debbil-debbil “carbins”, and intends to continue that process for the next couple of decades, more than wiping out any reductions (should they matter anyway) by the west.

Speaking of people not being able to let things go…

QLD Health Minister Yvette D’Ath is itching to bring back mask mandates but the CHO is thus far not taking the bait.

“I don’t have any recommendations from the chief health officer here in Queensland to do that,” she said.

“Our health workers would prefer to not have to be caring for people who are seriously unwell with Covid, who are in ICU, and sadly, who are passing away with [the disease],” she said.

“There’s something we can do to at least ease the burden on our health workers who are dealing with these Covid deaths and that is getting vaccinated and encouraging [others] … to get vaccinated.”

I work better doing other things to help, on call, pretty good with the listening ear.
Which can be as important as anything else.

So many people fall through the cracks and get little or no help as the numbers increase.
In the longer term, I think we need to stop another generation gaining learned helplessness.
I see Dutton at last (ten years late) is getting on to the school curriculum, which encourages the current victim mentalities we see amongst a lot of the upcoming generation. Victims turn to drugs and drugs sap health and self-reliance.

I asked if anyone believes that this is just about a couple of people looking for compo?
The case against Jizz-Lane didn’t solely rely upon those more high profile witnesses. Pretty hard to say the case turned on witnesses motivated by money and then say they refused to give evidence.
In any case, does anyone believe that Epstein didn’t rape scores of under-age girls, that Jizz-Lane wasn’t party to the assaults and that Randy Andy isn’t a dumb prick for getting hooked up with them?

Now I suppose that you are a Nutritional ‘eggs spurt’ along with your many other ‘lack of talents’ constantly shown here on this Website/Blog. There are millions and millions of people who eat vegetarian food and they are most probably not dependent upon alcohol. Alcohol dependency is another thing altogether.

It should be kept in mind that the star witness/victim (according to tabloids) seemed most shy when it came to opportunities to appear under oath & be grilled on her role/victimhood.

Staff on reception asked multiple questions including how many jabs he had had. When he said 4 she replied that was twice as many as she had had. This comes as a surprise as I thought 3 was mandatory for Qld health.

Whilst he was waiting he was listening to others answering the same question and most were only double jabbed.

LARPers.

https://www.reddit.com/r/Epstein/comments/cxy2pr/similarities_between_epsteins_island_and_the/

Because I was a child at the time, and my priority was staying alive in the context of a society where the Prime Minister herself was participating in the abuse of children, I was not evidence-gathering. I’m not even sure I would have had a complete concept of that at the time.

I do not expect my testimony to be used at the basis of a criminal case. I have already established that the UK police force are complicit in the abuse of children. It would require an international criminal court similar to what was set up after WWII in Nuremberg, to bring The British Crown to trial. I doubt this will happen for at least another decade.

Yeahhhh…all British monarchs and Margaret Thatcher. A new world order to bring The British Crown To Justice. Oh yes and Kevin Spacey. Rooting girls???

To be clear, I have an open mind as to whether Randy Andy is guilty of anything criminal.
But he certainly is a monumentally thick bastard.
He would have copped two clear warnings.
Firstly, the Firm (Windsors plc) would have warned him off Jizz-Lane for PR purposes. Her old man pillaged the Mirror pension accounts of working class people and it was pretty obvious that the Maxwells still had cash squirreled away. Not a good look to be consorting with thieves.
Secondly, there is no doubt security services would have known that Epstein had “unexplained wealth”. Whether the source was drugs, extortion or whatever, maybe they wouldn’t know, but senior politicians and Royals would have been briefed to give Epstein a wide berth.
That is why Chuck, Betty and Wills have cut the dumb prick loose.

Nice pic of Newbridge rd Chipping Norton on ABC though. Probably couldn’t get down to Henry Lawson Dve where it would have been much worse. Harris Ck on Heathcote rd at Holsworthy wasn’t even over. Usual spots were though and relatives at Camden said it was bad down there.

Residents of Camden, Woronora, Chipping Norton, Lansdale, Moorebank, Warwick Farm and Georges Hill have been told to leave.
All sitting on saturated, heavy clay soil. There is absolutely nowhere for all that water to go, much like areas in Sydney’s northwest that should never have been developed.

This is also true of our suburb. When the house was built in the late 70s we had to truck in all the topsoil to be able to have a lawn and garden. The block slopes slightly with the driveway being at the lowest point. The driveway is now stained by yellow and ochre streaks from the clay under the lawn.

Abortion rally Perth: Proud Boys extremists among those removed from heated CBD protest
The West Australian
Sat, 2 July 2022 5:37PM
Comments
Steve Butler

Four men claiming to be from the Australian arm of violent right-wing extremist group Proud Boys were among those who clashed with police during a heated abortion rights rally in Perth’s CBD on Saturday.

Hundreds of noisy pro-choice supporters gathered in Forrest Chase before marching through the city calling for better abortion access in Australia, following a decision last month in the United States Supreme Court to strip back the laws allowing safe abortions.

One pro-life supporter was thrown forcefully from the stage and into the arms of police officers as powerful speeches were being made nearby.

Another man had a “Reject modernity, embrace tradition” sign ripped from him and torn up by a small group of young women, who yelled with glee at their conquest before he and the other man were whisked away by police up a nearby escalator as a rowdy mob circled around him.

Police later confirmed they also removed four men who were wearing black-and-gold Proud Boys Australia hoodies from the area.

No arrests were made and no move-on notices were issued.

Women held signs with messages including, “If God can kill his son, why can’t I” and “If you think controlling women is ok, you’re on the wrong side of history”. Another wore a black crop-top with the word “Mine” scrawled boldly on her bared stomach.

All right, which one of you lot owns a “Proud Boys” hoodie?

“The physical and psychological impact of forcing this young girl to continue with an unwanted pregnancy is tantamount to torture,” Guadalupe Marengo, deputy director for the Americas at Amnesty International said then. “The Paraguayan authorities cannot sit idly by while this young rape survivor is forced to endure more agony and torment.”

I just spent a bit of time trying to find a follow up story on the Paraguayan girl that Munty brought up as an example. Obviously it’s terrible and disgusting that she was raped.

Isn’t it interesting though that there doesn’t seem to be any follow up story? The girl would now be 18 and the child 7.

I can only guess that the outcome doesn’t fit the narrative.

Everyone I know who has been vaccinated has also had covid except me, so far at least. Admittedly even some who have not been vaxxed have had it. In other words, vaxx has been completely useless and unnecessary. Insisting on booster shots is plain pig-headedness and refusal to admit they were wrong.

I too remain ‘unjabbed’ by an experimental emergency approved drug. Not had the virus thingy either. Just the normal winter Cold and sniffle. Red wine and other alcohol works for me. Nearly age 70 years as well. I must have Mum’s good genes as she is 90 years of age and still going strong.

I have always wondered why a Jewish rag-trade guy, Leslie Wexner, would blithely sign over yuuuge chunks of his business to Epstein.
I saw something recently that intimated that Wexler was gay (or bi) and Jeffrey “satisfied Wexler’s needs”.

Comment from Reminiscence of the Future:

Larchmonter445 • 8 hours ago • edited
Catastrophic losses do not matter to Kiev, Brussels, London or DC.

The Ukie military is almost a free proxy force. It is a large population, easily producing several millions of men for military service.

The manpower is dragooned into service, held at the front at gunpoint by the Nazis, unnecessary to pay, barely necessary to feed, most without proper protective gear, abandoned by their commanders, shot by their fellows if wounded, cut off from family or serving under SBU threats to family. Likely, if killed, left unburied and then later disposed of and marked as missing in action so Kiev doesn’t have to pay death benefits to the family. Those mobile crematoria due a nice job of body disposal.

If a hundred thousand are 200s and three hundred thousand are 300s wounded, surrendered or captured, it doesn’t matter much. There are hundreds of thousands of bodies available to force into service. Training for Ukies is 2-4 weeks, all important weapons systems seem to be manned by mercs, NATO advisers and PMC contractors.

The Ukie tactics now are: stay in prepared defenses until they are breeched and overrun, retreat to civilian infrastructure, use human shields, fight until you have no ammo, run to the next location, second or third echelon. You’ll get more ammo, some food and water, repeat until you are dead.

Of course there are catastrophic losses. The US designed defenses haven’t worked in a war since before WWI.
They require a suicidal human frontal assault from the Russians to produce winning results.

The Russians’ frontal assault comes in the mode of artillery and missile strikes. They have recently added a helicopter and armed drone-based rocket, Project 305, LMAR. Helos can stand off 10-20 kilometers and blowup any target. Russians have been using these in night raids. So, the Ukies get hit 24/7. No trench, house, or armored vehicle is safe. The technology of the rocket makes it devastatingly deadly.

Cities will be falling in a few weeks instead of months. Tactics have changed. Weapons have changed. What hasn’t changed is outcome. The Ukies keep losing. And no one cares. Not their commanders and not Kiev government. Not their sponsors in Washington, Brussels and London. Not their ‘friends’ in the EU. No one gives a hoot about Ukies dying. They just want to hear how many Russians are dying. They want to know that Donbass is turned into a wasteland. They want a Russian military defeat. They don’t care how long it takes. They will keep the money and weapons flowing.

Ukies’ military is now, not primary military losses, but they are collateral damage. It’s not a war. It’s an assassination operation. The West is trying to kill Russia. They have been trying to kill the Russian economy, trying to kill or remove President Putin, and trying to defeat the Russian military.

Along the way, if a million Ukies perish, no problem. No one in the West has qualms about dead Ukie soldiers or civilians whether they speak Russian or Ukrainian. It’s not even a category on the ledger of US cost of this war.

The funniest Murdoch wedding story centred on Elizabeth’s wedding to Freud, having formerly been married to an African prince known behind Rupert’s back as ‘Bongo’. Rupert was obliged to wear a cheetah skin over-the-shoulder number and the photo of that wedding party catches him looking decidedly uncomfortable.

Anyway, at the Freud wedding, Lachlan gave the toast and produced the memorable line that Freud must surely be worried about shortcomings in the conjugal department because the little woman had grown accustomed to attentions of a black man (and all that implies).

In the past few shows, Adams and North have documented that several governments and central banks have already surrendered to the inflation monster – including the Bank of Japan, the ECB and the Bank of England.

Adams noted that it was a matter of time until US Federal Reserve surrenders as well – despite their tough talk of fighting inflation and tightening monetary policy.

If we cast our mind back over the past two years and we see a Fed Chairman either who has been lying or has no idea what he is doing.

The US now finds itself officially in recession (which will be confirmed in the coming weeks) with the prospect of raging inflation (no peak in sight). The US Federal Reserve is expected to tighten monetary policy into a recession – a prospect now seen since 1974.

Just as an aside, I’ve been speaking to a number of parents in the last couple of days.
I contend that this year has largely been a wasted year, for most Victorian school children. They almost need to repeat the year. I’m certainly not the only one who thinks so.

History is remarkable for its symmetry.
This concept of “social waste” reminds me of a certain army recruiting scheme implemented a long time ago.
This scheme randomly removed those concerned from their employment for two years.
It killed about two hundred of them.
History has shown that it was a waste of these lives and a great deal of public money.
The administration concerned was voted out in 1972, but but there has never been an apology.
This disregard differed from the actions of our more enlightened cousins across the ditch who sent only volunteers to that conflict but did provide a Crown apology.

Vaccine declaration rules eased for travellers

Passengers arriving into Australia from overseas will no longer have to declare their COVID-19 vaccination status from this week, under the latest easing of rules by the Albanese government.

Based on advice from Commonwealth chief medical officer Paul Kelly, passengers on flights and ships will be able to travel to and from Australia without providing vaccination information from 12.01am on Wednesday, July 6. Unvaccinated people will not require exemptions to enter.

The change means overseas travellers will no longer have to complete a digital passenger declaration form.

The system has been plagued by technical issues and left travellers frustrated. Home Affairs Minister Clare O’Neil conceded the digital system needed “a lot more work to make it user-friendly”.

Under the changes to biosecurity orders, travellers must still comply with any remaining COVID-19 requirements put in place by airlines and shipping operators, as well as overseas countries and states and territories.

Health Minister Mark Butler said remaining rules still include the wearing of masks on inbound international flights.

State and territory public health orders mandating masks on domestic flights also remain in place.

‘No longer necessary’

“The Australian government makes decisions on COVID-related issues after considering the latest medical advice,” Mr Butler said in a statement.

“The chief medical officer has advised it is no longer necessary for travellers to declare their vaccine status as part of our management of COVID.

“Unvaccinated Australians, as well as certain groups of visa holders, have been able to travel to Australia for some time.

“We will continue to act on the medical advice as needed.”

Health authorities are preparing for a new wave of omicron cases, driven by the emerging BA.4 and BA.5 subvariants.

Australia passed 10,000 COVID-19 deaths on Sunday, up from 9984 in the previous 24 hours. Victoria reported 22 deaths on Sunday, with six in South Australia and two in NSW.

Ms O’Neil said the easing of vaccination reporting requirements meant the digital passenger declaration [DPD] was no longer required.

“This is great news for families coming home from school holidays who now don’t need to use the DPD,” she said.

“As more and more of us travel internationally, and we get more confident in managing our risk of COVID, our airports are getting busier.

“Removing these requirements will not only reduce delays in our airports but will encourage more visitors and skilled workers to choose Australia as a destination.

“I know anyone who has travelled internationally since the borders have opened will find this as one less thing to worry about – especially as more Australians get back to travelling overseas.”

A review of the eligibility criteria for access to COVID-19 oral antiviral therapies is under way, and Mr Butler last week commissioned former Health Department boss Jane Halton to conduct a snap assessment of Australia’s vaccine supply.

I just spent a bit of time trying to find a follow up story on the Paraguayan girl that Munty brought up as an example. Obviously it’s terrible and disgusting that she was raped.

Isn’t it interesting though that there doesn’t seem to be any follow up story? The girl would now be 18 and the child 7.

Hang on, m0nty-fa implied that the case of the 10 year old arose immediately after Roe was canned. Is this the same case, or another? If it is the same case, that what is the issue? Roe was still in force eight years ago. Or was she an illegal immigrant, dodging ICE (and in the days of the sainted Lightbringer, no less)?

Is it possible Jerry is divoring Rupe because his extended family was too outré?

Reportedly, Rupe dumped her.

I’ve always liked Jerry Hall – probably from the moment she appeared in Let’s Stick Together. She always struck me as a great Texan gal. Last week, it was reported she still loves her durries – much to Murdoch’s chagrin; he has a Hitler-like loathing for smoking. Brian Ferry was apparently a mean bastard (not least with money), Jagger was a priapic jerk who didn’t know how lucky he was to have her and now Murdoch gives her the boot.
I wish her every happiness.
(Always liked her daughter Georgia too – love that sexy toothal gap).

“I’ve always liked Jerry Hall”

I think she’s fabulous.

There was an interesting “Who do you think you are” with Jerry Hell. Her Texan lineage goes back to the Republic of Texas and before that to Kentucky where one of her ancestors was a pal of Daniel Boone. When unearthing her ancestry she was mortified to discover that one of her Texan ancestors had slaves. You could see the blood drain from her face.

The only blight on our very enjoyable month of May into June in Britain was being reminded of the Covid nonsense by the unworkable form that they still insisted we fill in.

So glad its gone now and everyone is back to normal, vaxxed or not. This was a dark period in Australia’s democracy, the policing of lockdowns and the ‘papers’ required for vaxxes.

Cook Islands now confirmed for us for end of September. I think we may still meet with some Covid nonsense as it is Air New Zealand and a NZ protectorate or some such. Air NZ are price gouging us for a heap of extra money on the 2020 charges we originally paid and had to put on hold till now. The resort has still come good with a beachfront room for the same price but they want to charge extra for an early check in, which was included before.

I guess resorts have to recoup somehow but no sympathies for Air NZ.

Indeed…he was a white southerner with money and he had slaves. Hall’s ancestor was a prominent Texan. Not unusual and the researcher basically told Hall that it was a different time.

As an aside, most poor white southerners didn’t have slaves.

From C.L.’s article:

Charlotte’s father, Matthew Freud, is the great-grandson of Sigmund Freud and nephew of Lucian Freud who founded esteemed PR film Freud Communications. He is worth an estimated £170million.

His first wife Caroline Hutton, with whom he shares two children, went on to marry the Earl Spencer, Diana, Princess of Wales’ brother.

Charlotte grew up in the UK, shifting between family homes in London and Suffolk, and is one of 13 grandchildren on the Murdoch side of her family through her mother, Elisabeth.

Luke’s mother is British artist and designer Helen Storey, whose father was award-winning novelist David Storey – who won the Booker Prize in 1976 for his novel Saville.

Do you have 10 K handy for a bet. I would like to see 4 separately identifiable requests for an audit by four different ATO auditors on four different matter. Also, seeing you’re so certain, you’d offer odds.

Driller then suggested we should make it for 4 million at evens and his own person would determine the winner.

Since then he’s called me a coward for not taking a multi million dollar bet. He didn’t offer to escrow, but I needed to.

Here’s the thing though, driller suggested that Andrew would be loved even more in the U.K. after the Epstein relevations and he’s denying it.

No morals and a disgusting grub.

He’s lying about 4 audits too. He’s lying because he was caught blowharding again. No bank would touch the dishonest kunt.

If I needed to bet 4 million why would you only need to put up 2 million. For someone certain about his 4 audits why wouldn’t you at least offer evens.
