This will get swamped by the passport news today, but The Federalist has a great column on presidential archives.

Regardless of what transpires with Trump there needs to be hard rules put in place regarding all administration staff & their records (not just presidential records).
It needs to be made public so there can be zero wiggle room.
And it needs to be applied retrospectively to all living former administration staff (by doing this it means that punitive rules couldn’t be put in place as it would catch the Clinton’s & Biden out).
This selective enforcement of rules/laws has to end.

PS, this alleged passport news has come via Trump on truth social that was screen shot & tweeted/retweeted.

“LGB drop the T” keeps trending on Twitter as gay activists turn on transgender activists

Looks like trannies are getting booted off of the LGBT train, i.e. “the inevitable clash between gay ideology and transgender theory”.

“The T hitched a ride a few years back, invited itself for dinner, and is trying to make out that it always lived her. It didn’t.”

“I’m gay (the G part) which means I exclusively like men – not women who thing they are men.”

We promised it wasn’t the slippery slope (society) feared. Trannies took advantage of our good will and it has gone too far.

– Gay people

Lesbian and gay activists demanding an end to the madness for the sake of our children? Swinging pendulums and reaping/sewing come to mind.

“Trump was unfit to be president, but the raid on his home moves the US closer to civil conflict.”
Greg Sheridan in The Australian.
No wonder we stopped our subscription to a paper that makes you pay for crap that you can get for nothing elsewhere.
As far as all the left leaning MSM is concerned, every Republican president in my lifetime has been flawed and unfit.
But Biden is ok?
The media are the enemy of the people in large part.

Greg Sheridan is unfit to call himself a journalist or columnist.

Our Foxtel subscription is way better value that The Australian. $29 per month delivers a lot of content that we actually enjoy.
The Oz should stop doing lefty shit, especially stuff like Perry Williams climate change and renewable energy b/s. It’s unseemly misinformation.

A year ago the Taliban started moving into the presidential palaces in Afghanistan.
This week will be the one year anniversary of the Whitehouse dropping a bomb on a family to take attention off the clusterfuck.

I don’t know what’s worse.
The Whitehouse surrogates in the media promoting the ISIS-K horseshit for a week or so then for it to never be heard of again.
The fact that the CIA thought that was the best target to drop a bomb on.
Or that there have been exactly zero whistle blowers coming forward to shine some light on the decision making process.

The launch codes angle is funny if you think about it.

What’s China gonna do?

Nuke themselves?

Yeah, nah.

U.K. Approves Moderna’s Covid-19 Vaccine Targeted at Omicron

The U.K. became the first country to approve a Moderna Covid-19 vaccine that targets the Omicron variant as well as the original strain.

mRNA + corona virus = insanity

“Speculation circulating he was fully vaccinated”

Sounds like China paying $2 bn to nuke themselves!

Given the WHO quietly dropped Coronavirus recommendations, are we going to see Australia drop all of the draconian mask and vaccine mandate stuff now?

I have “Certsy” for my qualifications and also COVID shots. Need that for a lot of job applications.

Clown universe.

“Need” a booster soon, let’s see this madness and insane SIMPing for big pharma & their money grubbing end soon.

Anyone complaining about Morrison being 57 different genders of Commonwealth Minister can kindly shut up.

No one complained until now that is constitutionally valid. “Legal advice”! No, the Governor General doesn’t need legal advice. Legal advice is weaker as an authority than convention.

Plenty of partisan boosters thought it was great when their favourite Premier declared they were also Arts Ministers or Treasurers.

Suck it.

dot, you’ve got the wrong end of the stick.
If they go after Morrison re COVID overreacharound then surely they’ll go after all the state premiers.
Surely?

Rickw, good video. Funny when the nazis did ‘Public Private Partnerships’ it was called Fascism. I posted on this the other day. Communism is dead, they all know it can’t work but it’s twin brother is fascism and as China knows, and the rest of the world is finding out, it works very well for the elites.

Hayek worked out fairly early that communism just wouldn’t last, it would eventually fall apart, complete gov ownership with central planning is just unworkable, especially at scale. So the question now is, will the new fascism fail due to its structure and if so how long will it take? If it can’t fail through internal weakness how do we the people make it fail? Fascism didn’t destroy the nazis, it worked pretty good for them, it was the madman in charge and his desire to dominate the world.

It seems to me that all the major nations are well on the way to full fascism, the US maybe not so far, it’s still our best hope. The battle is well underway there at the moment, the hard core fascists are attacking a battle hardened republican side that has many fascist sympathisers in it, could go either way. Here both sides of politics are looking to fascism for the future of the country, they just have different ways of going about it.

OSC, 12.08 this morning and apropos of Scott Fucking ‘I don’t hold a hose mate’ Morrison:

Now he refuses to talk about it. Scumbag.

This is potentially the worst part of this entire disastrous bolognese stain on the crisp white linen shirt of Australia. Even if:

1. There were provisions somewhere that allowed a Prime Minister to assume dictatorial powers (which, clearly, there are);
2. An actual crisis, rather than a manufactured crisis, were to occur; and
3. Said crisis actually justified this course of action (although I struggle to think of one, given that – I think – these powers were not utilised over the course of two world wars):

Where’s the accountability? Where’s the transparency? On top of the ‘secret’ National Cabinet horseshit, this kaleidoscope of unwarranted power-tripping should fire any remaining vestiges of governmental integrity into the Sun.

On top of the pensions and insider tips and trade secret sharing, this must be why people run for politics – the opportunity to one day, after dozens of sliding doors moments, finally have the chance to quite literally run the country.

This horseshit is that bad that Malcolm Turnbull is actually right when he said on the teev last night it was ‘astonishing’ Morrison had hit those buttons.

That’s how bad it fucking is. There are certain aspects of government that are secret, and I get that – but secretly assuming critical ministerial portfolios for reasons so far unknown, and then effectively telling the punters to get fucked once you’re out of office is a new low.

Garrison’s toon of Hunter is amusing. A skinless banana doing…something or other.

As for a swathe of the others, looks like they’ve de-mothballed their Trump templates. Original thinkers all.

This “god” complex wasn’t confined to Morrison during this shit show.
It was distributed throughout, at least in mindset.

100%.

It’s crystallised the concept of accountability, or lack thereof, in that particular stratosphere. It’s not leadership but dictatorship, and anyone that holds that particular brass ring either now or in future should know that the pubic will not take kindly to having that sword of Damocles over their heads when the next crisis du jour shambles into view.

So the question now is, will the new fascism fail due to its structure and if so how long will it take?

Sfw – It’s already failing. In China it’s “lying flat”. No surprise that with the flowering of fascism in the West, especially the US and Europe, we’ve started to see the lying flat syndrome spread to western countries. Why work hard for elite bosses who are basically Nazis inflicting all sorts of woke rubbish and nonsense onto you? “They pretend to pay us, we pretend to work.”

This isn’t a new phenomenon. Italy suffered from it during WW2. In the Western Desert the Italian army guys would fire off a few rounds then surrender. They didn’t want to fight for fascism, so they laid flat. Rommel had huge trouble with them, and eventually made sure there was a German regiment on each side of each Italian regiment, with orders to shoot if they tried to surrender.

So fascism will die from ennui. You can’t make a man work hard if he doesn’t want to, unless you use force. And if you try to use force he’ll still drag his heels.

Lawyers aren’t the problem – people are.

That’s lawyer talk !

If you give away smoking monkeys, the public will love you.

Look at him go!

Courier Mail has good article by Mike Connor about The Voice. Has a poll which is currently 92% against it.

Late last night I popped over to Jo Nova and this post was in the 15 Aug open thread. It links to a letter by AMPS which has been sent to all medical associations and MP’s.

Perhaps Dover and Areff might copy the letter and give it its own thread. Needs to be spread far and wide.

Time for the silenced Dr’s to be given a voice.

Cant read the article because of the paywall but here is a group of Australian drs who have formed AMPS – Australian Medical Professional Society – who have written a succinct commentary of the injectables fiasco and mailed it to medical associations, parliamentarians etc.

Great letter, should be widely promoted, I wonder if Chris Mitchell got hold of it?

Cassie “I’m pretty sure someone who has a gun pointed at his or her head won’t be dragging their heels.”

Not sure about that, in the USSR there was always the threat of execution and imprisonment over peoples heads, they pretended to work but that was about it. In the Gulags the risk of execution was high yet the prisoners did as little as possible while trying to make it look like they were working.

Queensland government to include truth-telling inquiry for First Nations people as part of Path to Treaty

The Queensland government will today unveil the steps it will take towards signing a treaty with First Nations people, which will include a three-year Indigenous truth-telling inquiry as part of the process.

The road to reconciliation will be outlined by Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk as she releases her government’s response to a report about progressing the state’s Path to Treaty, which was completed in October last year.

The government will release the Treaty Advancement Committee’s final report after accepting all 22 of its recommendations either in full or in principle.

Ms Palaszczuk said this next step towards treaty was “an incredible moment”, with truth-telling about Queensland’s history an important part of the process.

“Treaty is about finding a place where we can face up to our shared history and be truthful about all of it – good and bad – and build a future together where we value, trust, and respect each other.”

The Palacechook Government has:

1) had no prior consultation with Queenslanders about this “incredible moment”; and

2) withheld the Path to Treaty report which it has accepted as the basis of something that is supposed to “build a future together where we value, trust, and respect each other”.

This Secret Politicians’ Business approach to ‘reconciliation’ is being rolled out all across Australia. Racial politics, done behind closed doors by experts and sectional interests, flying under the radar.

The fuckers don’t care that we know they don’t trust us.

How long after he drops the kids off at school will m0nty-fa arrive here?

Cassie “Oh, so that’s how the White Sea canal was built?”

They did as little work as possible to conserve energy, the work still got done just not very efficiently, many died or were permanently maimed but they did what they had to and no more. I’m sure you’ve read “The Gulag Archipelago”, it lays it all out. An utterly demoralised population doing what they could to get by but no more than that. Slavery can work but it’s not particularly efficient.

The point is that a demoralised people will not work hard, they may make the appearance of doing so.

The same in Mao’s China, the cadres and party leaders worked very hard to achieve Mao’s goals, the population not so much, have a look at ‘Tombstone’ by Yang Jisheng, a sort of Chinese Gulag Archipelago. The people were starved, killed, tortured but they didn’t work as hard as they could, the system didn’t reward it.

Frog from Police Rescue died.
The episode of Frogger dying was one of the great moments in Australian television history.

“Even Sky is right into it, and not from a right-wing perspective either.”
No surprises there.
Daytime Sky is marginally better than the commercials, but still a long way short of (in fact can’t hold a candle to) Fox News – e.g. Carlson, Ingraham and Watters.
When some of the “Sky After Dark” people hit the target we hear cries for them to be cancelled.

Unless you’re ok with watching 4 series for a Neon Genesis Evangelion type ending.

Funny story, Norm Macdonald said he whacked it to that.

Is it only Rowan Dean, James Morrow and Rita Panahi on their weekend show Outsiders who are game to call The Voice for what it is?

Dr F “Based on Solzhenitsyn’s account it was a self preservation strategy, rather than a political statement.”

I never said it was a political statement, it was self preservation. The point is that the current people ‘quite quitting’ etc are not making political statements, they are just giving up and doing as little as possible to get by. It’s a form of self preservation where you no longer really se the point in trying to get ahead, you’re demoralised so you do enough to get by and that’s it.

Few in Soviet Russia made political statements, they didn’t last long if they did. They just bent into the shape the state wanted and did what they could to get by. Fascism and Socialism will end with demoralised people but one gets there faster than the other. My question is can Fascism survive if not what can kill it? Communism will always kill itself.

A Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich focused exactly on the daily routine of prisoners building a power station in the frozen wastes of Siberia.

Can someone please explain to me why I should be so upset about Scott Morrison’s bizarre secret hijacking of some of his ministries? Yes, it is unprecedented yet I can’t see how it’s criminal, let alone unconstitutional. Where’s the victim? If he’d actually done anything especially damaging while he was the government shadow minister of these departments, then sure, this would be a problem. But what did he do? He cancelled some oil and gas exploration project off the NSW coast – okay, the Greens would be happy with that. Anything else? Because if there isn’t, this looks to me to be a storm in a teacup.

In fact, it makes me wonder what’s going down now that they don’t want us looking at or talking about.

Fascism is a society in which a one party state controls everything but allows big businesses (not small) to operate as long as they cooperate with the state for state goals. That’s why it can work, there is a degree of freedom for businesses as long as they toe the party line.

If you look at what is happening here in Australia the industrious ones are the tradies. They’re the guys who work Saturdays and aspire to get ahead.

Employees of big business are increasingly being strangled by woke, and consequently aren’t working as hard. They can’t be promoted unless they have all the right characteristics: black, female, qwerty etc. Not ability. That’s the problem – the same top down repression mindset increasingly infects big business, whose management then discourage industriousness because enthusiastic workers are a threat to them. Which is why the fascists persecute the middle class…like tradies.

sfw, one of the reasons why the Germans started the war was because of their disastrous economy policies.
So it didn’t go away because of the war.
It was a (one of many) reason for the war.

Bear laws are written for lawyers not the people they’re they are supposed to be protecting. We have muppets in the High Court who are interpreting law. The law is not fit for purpose.

In fact, it makes me wonder what’s going down now that they don’t want us looking at or talking about.

Whenever the baying starts, it pays to look in the opposite direction.

He’ll then use a corrupt DC trial jury from the same rigged pool to convict Trump. Dems want a constitutional crisis, so buckle up.
