A teenage Hindu girl has been burned alive by her alleged Muslim stalker who poured petrol over her and set her alight as she slept at her home in India.
Ankita Singh, 19, succumbed to her severe burn injuries and died on Sunday at a hospital in the city of Ranchi, in the eastern state of Jharkhand, five days after Shahrukh Hussain allegedly set her on fire.
Her death has sparked protests in the state after Shahrukh, a Muslim, allegedly wanted to commit ‘love jihad’ by marrying Ankita and forcing her to convert from Hinduism to Islam.

A few thoughts…
If we refrained from imprisoning people for fear that they may have been wrongly convicted, nobody would go to gaol. Clearly, a justice system can’t operate effectively on that principle.
Murder is a heinous crime for which the punishment considered appropriate used to be death. The introduction of life sentences instead, now with the possibility of parole, is already a considerable amelioration of the conditions the convicted murderer would previously have expected to face.
If we are to grant parole to convicted murderers and readmit them to society, it seems reasonable that they should be thoroughly rehabilitated, which would surely include their cooperation in identifying the location of their victim’s body.

The Scottish whisky trade will follow the usual path – trade will grow, and then China will try to strong arm the whisky distillers for ‘advantages’. When the distillers refuse, China will wait until an election looms then it will threaten the cancellation of the contracts putting hundreds of jobs at risk and delivering a nasty election shock to the government who will the lean on the distillers to give in to the threats.
This is the way China works. Trade is the bait and when China wants something, it springs the trap. Watch what happens when China decides it would rather use lower quality steaming coal.

Well, I guess I can always spoof the MAC address of one of my neighbours WiFi devices and leach their connection – almost no-one at the consumer level pays any sort of attention to security, so it’s easy-peasy (I’ve even done it, just to see if I could). There’s even a business running a WEP WiFi access point close to me that I got into in under 30 minutes.
Then run an encrypted tunnel through a couple of servers in various countries that “pop me back out” wherever I want to appear to be coming from. Select the right countries, and it’s going to be very hard and take a long time to figure out where it ultimately comes from – and provided I keep changing the servers every couple of months, they’ll be hard pressed to do it at all.
Payments all made by pre-paid credit card purchased at a place where there are no cameras, or I already know where they are and can hide myself from them, and paid for using cash.

Speaking of Ethan Hunt. On imdb the blurb for Martin Landau from the original Mission Impossible series mentions that he was married to his co star Barber Bain for 36 years, divorced in 1996. She was a pretty lady whose birth name was Mildred Fogel, you can see why she changed it. More importantly he was listed as being 6’1″ and she was given as 5′ 9 1/4″ which seems a bit finicky. One can only speculate.

“Except this time it was Top Secret humint documents.”
You ASSUME that is what it is – they haven’t said what the “marked secret” documents are.
It’s interesting to watch the narrative change as it all goes south.
“nuclear secrets!” – nope.
“humint” – yeah, I’m sure that is correct, just not what you expect.
It won’t be “list of overseas spies we have”, it’ll be “who colluded with Hillary to lie to the FISA court and the public about Russiagate”. That’s what they are panicking about, and why they grabbed what they could to keep behind the “currently under investigation” curtain until at least after the mod-terms.
Once again M0nty, I remind you that the President has the ultimate authority to decide what is “secret”, “classified” etc etc and there are NO RULES that he has to follow – none. As I said, it’s probably a good idea to have something written down somewhere to avoid the sort of crap the Trump is now going through, but it is NOT required. IIRC, the courts have already decided that even the ACTS of the president can be assumed to be his will – so if he hands you a “classified” or “secret” document without going through the hoops to get you official clearance to see it, then that act is considered to be the president de-classifying the document and/or granting you the right to see it. In short, the president – as the ultimate authority in such matters – CANNOT be in breach of these types of security laws, ever.
It is also the presidents sole discretion what is a “government document” and what is a “personal document” in terms of the PRA. Any failure to supply docs on request by the Archivist is a CIVIL matter, not a criminal one, so no FBI involvement is appropriate or legal.
The FBI is still trying to dig itself out the hole it has already dug itself into – “Dig UP, will ya?” seems to be the rallying cry. Even some usually solid leftists are questioning what is going on as more and more FBI whistle-blowers start to out the higher-ups.

But I wanted to note something else about that event — the visual they’re trying to sell us there with the tight shot.
If you were used to seeing Trump rallies, you would notice the Biden folks seem to be trying to imitate that look with a group of people holding signs behind him. Except unlike Trump rallies which generally have thousands of people, you get to see the wide shot to confirm that.
But when you see the wide shot of the Biden event, you see the problem.

It’s not just about genitalia, dot. My female schoolteachers ranged from Tartars in a bad mood to inspiring but firm – and none of them would have had a bar of this crap.
It’s a generational change of huge proportions.
The legitimate aims of feminism were perverted into an absurd sense of entitlement and grievance. Male teachers at primary level (there were rarely any at Infants) became more and more scarce and marginalised. At high school, all it took was one accusation from a flaky female student to ruin your career.
Now it’s moved to the universities, where a man going to his first faculty meeting and encountering a lot of spiky haired, angry ‘feminists’ would be right to feel his heart sink.
The physiology of women and men has not changed – it is what is in their heads that has changed.

Quite right. They’re ruled by a Constitution. Which is interpreted by the Courts. Which, as I understand it, ruled (in a case about Bill Clinton) as Kneel outlined it.
But do feel free to explain why the actual judicial authority doesn’t have that effect.
Yes, if this ever gets before the bench that ruling will no doubt be “reconsidered”. As the Dobbs case showed, judicial decisions can be overturned, and in some cases the grounds for doing so are incontrovertible. Right, m0nty?

There’s a vid of Trump speech to the UN actually warning Germany about their outsized reliance on Putin Energy. The German delegation were smirking and wisecracking amongst themselves when Trump was speaking.
Now they’re fucked and the only way out for Germany is either full retarded appeasement or not and take the necessay shellacking they fully deserve for what they did.
However, Germany being Germany, it wouldn’t surprise in the least if they eventually side with Moscow against the West. I wouldn’t trust those fuckheads as far as I could throw them.

I did see somewhere the other day that Presidents still hold their security clearance for three years after they leave office. I have only read it in that one place and have not seen any citation, and it would be strange if this was not raised long ago to refute the claim Trump shouldn’t have had the docs.
But I seem also to remember that departing chairthings of the CIA and FBI also retain their security clearance for a period of time and are not denied access. The logic would surely be that they may have insights into events from their own time in office that the new bod would otherwise not have access to. Should work with Presidents too.

So there’ll be more attacks on Asian Americans. Asians and Jews are considered to be “white adjacent” so they’re fair game.

Yes. I shorted BHP and Fuckface Fortesque a short while ago. I mentioned it I think. I’ve bought most of the shit back today. It’s really ugly, but really, really freaking ugly in Europe.
It hurts us, but I’m not really messed up mentally in terms of how bad it could be for Oz.
Just my thoughts out loud.
The world is worried about all sorts of stuff – even war, so it wouldn’t shock me if nations began to stock up on commodities just in case. That’s good for us.
But, there could be all sorts of political tension we haven’t yet foreseen such as in Europe. I can actually imagine a break-up of the EU.
China is slowing far more than we thought.
Energy is becoming the real choke point in the world.

Perhaps you’re right but it all depends if the Ukes can damage the Russian supply lines. Time will tell. Here’s where I come out. Most people think Russia will win this war and they could be right. They could win, we’re told because they have much more heavy duty armaments. However, it’s not the first time that an inferior military (at least on paper) ended up winning.
Why do I say that? Well, the Taliban won in Afghan against a much superior force. War is unpredictable.

There was a vid of President Trump giving a shellacking to the Euro weenies and Nato about relying on Russian gas and criticizing them for not buying US NG instead. Basically calling them idiots putting all those billions into Gazprom pockets and funding Nordstream II. He turned out yet again to be 100% right.
Now these same effeminate wankers are crying about the horrible Russians breaking gas supply contracts , after they broke every single contractual agreement they could find and invent with Russia. These people are absolute clowns , but they must be raking in the loot grifted from all the Billions floating about “Aid to Ukraine” boondoggle.
Pure fantasy contemplating division along such unclear lines.

Invite the UN in to draw the demarcation line (which is readily available in the county-by-county voting record, there are even maps easily found). Then establish a UN force to “police” the border, no illegal traffic in food, fuel or energy across the demarcation line.

The problem is I haven’t actually seen much ground gained and given they say that are experiencing heavy losses in the offensive against an enemy with ‘few men’ along that line what do you think is going to happen when whatever momentum UKR has is lost and the RUS are ready to counter?

I wonder what people who support The Voice think it will actually do. What precisely will it deliver for Aborigines. Not vague motherhood statements like “Better health outcomes”, that should instantly trigger the question “How? What will they do to achieve that?” Or “To increase the level of respect for indigenous culture”. Again, “How?” and “What would that look like? What will we be doing differently to say that has been achieved? More acknowledgements? More smoking ceremonies? Or will the rest of us be compelled to do things we are not personally inclined to do?”
The amount of money and attention that has been hosed on Aborigines is only slightly less obscene than the fact that it is hosed around those most in need. It is spent instead on luxurious offices with ‘authentic’ artwork but otherwise all mod cons, committees, reports, jaunts, and PR. The people in need it, who live a degraded savage life and die in filth. But it is important to keep them there as they are the people to be pointed to whenever a new scheme for money requires it.

https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2022/sep/01/nt-supreme-court-judge-says-antiracism-is-becoming-a-religion-or-a-cult
Man shes going to get dogpiled by the cultists though.
A Northern Territory supreme court judge has said antiracism is a “religion or a cult” and the fear of being called a racist is preventing people from “speaking honestly” about violence against Aboriginal women.
Justice Judith Kelly told a gathering of women lawyers there was “not a lot” lawyers and courts could do about domestic violence against Aboriginal women that was not already being done.
“Talking honestly about the problems that exist and encouraging honest and open public debate would have to be a good start. And by ‘speaking honestly’ about the problem I mean not ‘self-censoring’ for fear of being branded a racist by the ideologues of the new ‘antiracism’ religion,” Kelly said in the 26 August speech.
…
“What can we as lawyers – and the courts – do about it? Pretty much nothing. In my experience, both prosecutors and defence lawyers do a good job and as a result, in most individual cases, justice according to the law can be said to have been done.”
…
Talking about the problem was difficult, Kelly said, due to “an ideology of supposed ‘antiracism’ which is beginning to assume the dimensions of a religion or a cult under the influence of which people and institutions are casually and inaccurately labelled as ‘racist’ without any evidentiary basis for the charge.”
Make them feel good.
The SMH today:
‘Greens senator Lidia Thorpe has called the Voice to parliament referendum a “waste of money”, saying the funds could be better spent in Indigenous communities, prompting party leader Adam Bandt to stress the party was still committed to “good faith” negotiations.’
Lock in big spending abo industry budgets.
The loudest voices will be those who stand to benefit from the truckloads of money piled into the obscene indigenous welfare rort.
Think of the partition of India. Hindus/Republicans vs Muzzies/Decromats. I almost think the decromats will be worse than the muzzies.
Well, if you count Koreans – nup.
They set up shops in some of the toughest (aka most diverse) neighbourhoods in the US and made it clear that any future rapper or footballer who tried to rob than would be shot in the guts. And they did it, in case they was any doubt.
My old man, who served in Korea, told me that they were among the poorest people on the planet when he left. They had nothing, he said.
When he went back to South Korea 50 years later he couldn’t believe it. People who literally didn’t have a pot to piss in to this.

Yes. I seem to recall you mentioning that you had, or were thinking about, shorting BHP and Fortesque.
I certainly agree that the world is worried about all sorts of stuff – everywhere you look there is discord and grievance and the political tension in Europe is high. This (northern) winter is going to be very hard for tens of millions in Europe because of energy costs. People die every year because they can’t afford to heat their homes but this year looks like being very severe in that respect. Every business is impacted – the stories are boundless of energy bills going up 100-200-300%.
As for China, agreed. I think Xi has fudged the books significantly to obscure the true statistics and whatever demand remained has been largely strangled by the late covid lockdowns. We know they are trying to reverse and get things moving again, but it isn’t the same as flicking a switch.
The only saving grace are the globally high employment rates, but having said that, people are pissed off and the divide between the Left and Right is exceptional – when people are hungry and freezing in the dark they tend to get cranky so the next few months are potentially turbulent. Presuming a wider conflict doesn’t start in the next 12 months, I also think stocks may head lower but at best, it will be a wild ride.

I did some work in Katherine. I was surprised at the local contractors tolerance of the generally shit behaviour by the indigenous. This was the answer. Big fat contractors fixing the shit that they had destroyed.
They tend to be a little harsh on pale people jumping counters to help themselves as well.

As if the union is engaged in anything more than baiting the coalition, making them look bad.
We could do with more journos who actually took the conservative line of thought seriously instead of always (as David Marr once said) being soft left and sceptical of authority.
Didn’t see much of that scepticism during the pandemic, or in regard to climate scam and renewable boondoggles. It got drowned by the soft left component.

The Twitter accounts re UKR. They’ve been far better overall than WSJ, SkyNews UK, etc.
Ninety-nine per cent of Australian journalists vote Labor (39%) or Greens (60%). The public interest is a fairy tale their grandfathers taught them.
Just finished Jim Molan’s “Danger on our Doorstep”. Neck & back muscles giving me trouble – any wonder given what I have just read!
He makes no bones about the fact that all governments in the last 20 years in this country have disgracefully left us exposed to a successful attack by China.
Much of the assessment he makes of plausible & even likely Chinese strategy makes the pronouncements of many of the defence bureaucrats look like wishful thinking. The latter will not protect us from a bloody or bloodless coup.
Albanese shoots and misses well wide with O’Neal
THE MOCKER
When Labor won the election this year, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese declared we would finally see a government “run by adults”. And in July, when the 47th federal parliament sat for the first time, Deputy Prime Minister Richard Marles proclaimed that Australia was “under new management.”
“There’s a serious group of people in charge,” he said.
Since then, Albanese and other serious adults in charge have been brainstorming how to convince the Australian public to change the constitution to incorporate a so-called Indigenous voice to parliament. Given the party’s history, this is a formidable task. In the past 80 years, federal Labor governments have held 17 referendums. Only one of those succeeded, that being in 1946.
So what is Labor’s strategy to amend Australia’s founding instrument? In short, the Albanese government has outsourced it to an American basketballer. Calling a press conference last weekend, the Prime Minister introduced NBA giant Shaquille O’Neal as an ambassador for the referendum. He had, said Albanese, “agreed to do some vids and to have a chat about the importance of bringing people together”.
“I’m here in the country, anything you need from me you just let me know,” said O’Neal as he shook Albanese’s hand. “I want to let you know that Shaq loves Australia.” Yes, if there is one trait that resonates with mainstream Australians, it is celebrities referring to themselves in the third person.
According to Albanese, O’Neal is an ideal representative for the voice as he “does a lot of work in the United States about social justice and lifting people up who are marginalised”. That’s an interesting take on someone with a net worth of $400m who earns around $60m per year in endorsements, including spruiking for gambling conglomerates.
So confident was Albanese in O’Neal’s knowledge of the voice referendum that he would not let him take questions from journalists. The promised “vids” should be interesting. “As President Albanese says, it’s time to give Indigenous Australians the voice to parliament. And don’t worry about those people who say ‘But we don’t know how the High Court will interpret this power’. As I keep explaining to those dumbasses, they can always appeal to the Supreme Court if the High Court gets it wrong. Voting ‘yes’ to this is simple, folks. It’s so easy you can do it with one hand while using the other to place a bet on a roughie at Randwick or the dogs at Dapto.”
Like me, you probably struggle to think of a meeting more ill-conceived. The only thing that comes close was in 1970 when singer Elvis Presley, who was well and truly off his tits, met President Richard Nixon at the White House to volunteer his services as an undercover agent for the Narcotics Bureau. Unlike Albanese, however, Nixon prudently resisted the temptation to grandstand by not inviting the media.
Last month, Albanese declared the referendum would be “a unifying moment for the nation”. In one aspect he has succeeded at this by enlisting O’Neal. Thanks to him conservatives and the far-left are united in their opposition. “How could (Albanese) possibly think that would do anything but inspire cynicism,” asked former deputy prime minister and Nationals MP Barnaby Joyce. Likewise, Greens senator Lidia Thorpe said it was an “insult” to Indigenous Australians as well as the entire country.
Laughably, the government defends this charade. “I think Shaquille O‘Neal brings a lot of style, power, and attention to an important issue,” said environment minister Tanya Plibersek this week. That claim is up there with her stating as Labor’s foreign affairs spokeswoman in 2014: “Africa is one of the countries that has suffered most from these cuts to the aid budget”. Small wonder she no longer holds this portfolio, nor education for that matter.
It does not portend well for the government that the referendum is in the hands of constitutional dunces. For example, in December 2018 Albanese declared in Parliament “We recognised the rights of Indigenous Australians to be citizens in the famous referendum in 1967,” clearly unaware they had held that status since 1948. In delivering her maiden speech in 2016, then MP and now Minister for Indigenous Australians Linda Burney claimed that the “first decade” of her life “was spent as a non-citizen”.
Neither politician can give straight answers regarding the intended composition of the Indigenous advisory body. “And the … thing that has escaped the debate so far is that at the end of the day … it will be the parliament that will make the final decisions about the way in which the voice will look and what its functions would be,” said Burney last weekend. Really? “It is going to be a body that we will consult with, you and everyone else, on what it will look like and how it will operate,” she declared last month on ABC’s Q+A. “That is not … the decision of politicians. This is something for you and the Australian people”. Host Stan Grant had to remind her Albanese had said the opposite.
As for Albanese, he is also inconsistent. When asked last weekend whether the Calma/Langton report was the blueprint for the final design of the voice, Albanese’s reaction was abrupt. “I haven’t said that,” he said. Yet a fortnight ago he said during his visit to Thursday Island: “We know that there’s already extraordinary level of detail out there from the work that Marcia Langton and Tom Calma did.”
Albanese’s strategy for this referendum is obvious, and that is he wants Australians to vote on the vibe alone. To this effect he and Burney alternate between two responses when asked about its proposed make-up. The first is to brush off questions about specifics by referring journalists to numerous reports and recommendations about the voice model, ignoring the fact they are not uniform.
The second is to stymie questions by insinuating that those seeking detail have an ulterior motive. “And what people look for is for prescription, so they can then say that ‘in that 170-page report I disagree with what was on paragraph three on page 54 and therefore I’m against this proposal’,” insisted Albanese on Saturday.
But his intentions, he assures us, are pure. “I’m creating the space for people to come on board,” he said. “I want people to own this process.”
How one does that without knowing what it entails is a mystery. But in fairness to Albanese, we can understand why he chose a star basketballer to sell this for him. After all, both men excel at the art of dribbling.

Jaguar I-Pace catches on fire again – is this another Bolt EV battery fire situation?
Another Jaguar I-Pace battery caught on fire without any crash after simply sitting charging in a garage.
This is the fourth known I-Pace battery fire that seemingly started on its own, which is starting to be significant considering the relatively small number of units on the roads.
Jaguar also uses LG battery cells like the Bolt EV and Kona EV, which were both recalled for battery fire risks. Is this another Bolt EV battery fire situation?
The I-Pace is Jaguar’s first and only all-electric vehicle.
It came out in 2018, and we positively reviewed the vehicle for its sporty design in addition to its decent range and charging capacity at the time, but that was a few years ago.
The vehicle has barely been updated over the last four years, and it is now showing its age. But now, there might an even bigger issue with the electric SUV.
In 2020, Gonzalo Salazar bought a new 2019 Jaguar I-Pace in Florida; he had been driving the electric car without issue for a few years until an incident in June 2022. Salazar described the incident in an email to Electrek:
On June 16, I plugged the car in before going to bed. In the morning of June 17, I woke up and unplugged the car. Later that morning, I set out to run some errands. I drove about 12 miles that morning before returning back home and parking the car back in the garage, leaving the garage door open. As I was doing things at home, I heard pops coming from the garage. I decided to go see where the sounds were coming from, and upon walking into the garage, I faced a thick wall of smoke. My thought immediately was, ‘When there is smoke there is fire,’ and I need to get the car out of the house garage.
Wanting to protect his home and his animals living there, Salazar decided to see if he could get the I-Pace out, even though it was smoking. Surprisingly, he was able to get from his garage to the residential street in front of his house.
He continued:
Not a Lot Left!!!

This is an excerpt from a text sent from the ex-Mrs KD, aka The Skank, to the son and heir a couple of days ago.
As background, she’d evidently found that being a HR middle manager for the ADF wasn’t sufficiently groundbreaking, so she applied for and got a job in HR at Rio’s Gladstone aluminium gig. I’m going to assume here that she must have spelled ‘aluminium’ correctly in her app, so she must be moving ahead in leaps and bounds.
