Via Tim Blair:
Rugby league star Christian Welch has taken a brutal swipe at Peter FitzSimons for his hypocritical stance on Australian golfer Cam Smith signing with Saudi-backed LIV Golf tour.
Smith’s shift to the breakaway golf league is reportedly earning him $140 million – something the former Wallaby, author and husband of TV host Lisa Wilkinson slammed as “blood money” in a recent column.
But the Melbourne Storm prop, who has a Bachelor of Commerce and is completing his MBA, pointed out that FitzSimons recently appeared in an advertising campaign for the food delivery app Uber Eats, which Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman is a major investor in.
“It’s okay for you to profit (albeit indirectly) from the Saudi investment fund but not a golfer?” Welch shared on Twitter.
“Same money funding LIV invested in Uber, Boeing & Starbucks. Are you complicit when you get a ride home or a cappuccino? How far does it go? I don’t recall the same outrage at those companies, but dare a golfer accept the cash on offer.”

“Donald Trump and MAGA Republicans represent an extremism that threatens the very foundation of our republic”
Didn’t his press-poppet explain (as one would to children) that if you think differently to most people, you are an extremist?
How many people think the aphasic, syphlytic, splenetic, geriatric old goat is doing a good job. She is an extremist!
…there are particular conditions associated with traveling at sea, such as the sea state, salt levels and humidity of the air, cramped spaces and closed vehicle decks. This, in combination with the particular characteristics of and risks associated with alternative fueled vehicles, means that shipping companies and ship crews must be prepared for certain challenges.
Ok, so if they are pursuing safe sea crossings for EVs that means sea crossings for EVs currently are not safe? Hmmm. “Certain challenges”? Hmmmm. That’s true: at least a couple of ships have had big fires and one sank.
The study also mentions a fire on a Baltic car ferry. So having EVs on car ferries is a risk that the whole ship will burn? Oops, don’t think the public is going to like that idea much. Nor insurance companies.
This new EV age is going to be entertaining. All those car transporters catching fire and sinking as they try to ship millions of the things from China to green woke western countries. And car ferries getting exothermically exitable. I’m sad for the poor sailors though.

The pub in Linlithgow, West Lothian is set to be rebranded as The Willow Tree by brewers Greene King over fears that the existing name could be seen to be racist.
But more than 500 objections have been submitted and 11,000 have signed a petition to stop the move, with many locals and historians arguing that the ‘Black Bitch’, which refers to a local legend about a black female greyhound, has been associated with the town for hundreds of years.
It has now emerged that Greene King have turned to the government to have their proposed name change rubber-stamped, after West Lothian Council deferred the planning decision.
According to Greene King, councillors want to encourage heritage bosses to include the pub name in a protected listing to avoid the name change.

“Interested in people’s thoughts. “
I tend to agree Cassie, but I’d like to have the “opt-out” – that is, you have to say that for a specified amount of time, say 1 year, that you may decide not to vote. You still can vote, but you wouldn’t risk being fined if you didn’t. And it “times out” after some maximum time so that you need to keep renewing it if you don’t want to vote. It still requires effort to avoid it on your part, but not as much as either attending to vote or getting a postal vote prior, and you don’t need to worry if you forget an election (local,state etc) when going overseas or interstate, for example – it’s “pre-arranged” that you are likely not to vote.

If the words bother you, then look at this way. Conservatives have no roadmap for where the country should go. No plan. No big ideas. No way of dealing with rapid technological change and cultural change. Should culture change in response to technological change, almost certainly.
Technology isn’t slowing, cultural change isn’t slowing. If you are waiting for the church to revive the past good luck with that. The left have this Utopian ideal draped in grandiose virtuosity. It may total BS, but what does the right offer? A resistance to change? A little rear view mirror we can romanticise?

Hmm, I do recall how this same Most Miserable Turd of Point Piper tried to block the free speech of others when he said the Morrison government should prevent members of parliament from debating the benefits of masks and the effectiveness of COVID vaccines. Don’t know about others but I regard that as “complete fascism”.
I also note that, during the last two years, when a curtain of fascism blanketed Australians, particularly those Australians living in Victoria, lockdowns, a pregnant woman in pyjamas arrested in her home, people bashed by police on the street, shops forcibly closed, anti-lockdown protests banned whilst BLM protests approved, the Most Miserable Turd of Point Piper said nothing then about that “complete fascism”.

For leftists and rightists alike, I’ve always argued that Murdoch is not a “right wing 666 activist” nor a “left wing activist” when announcing shite like this or letting Troy Bramston (and others) still write crap in The Oz or present on Sky (Kieran).
Murdoch is a pure genius capitalist. Full stop. If he were into climate denial then why do daytime presenters on Sky and Fox drip like wet Turnbulls and yet night-time presenters are conservative and skeptical of some sciences and woke faculties/ideas.
Because the man is a capitalist. And a genius. I can’t say I have the same thirst for money he does and nor does it govern my life but I put it to Cats that he wants to capture the best available markets at the best available times:
1) Daytime TV on Sky/Fox: Unemployed, students, under-employed, un-employable, likely disabled or socially inept, fat (Munts). Therefore: Present hate for rich, elite, healthy, white, mainstream working Australians/Americans etc… Therefore he captures the biggest daytime tv audience he can.
2) Nighttime TV: Employed, family, commitments, responsibilities, sick of paying taxes for crap, work all day and no time for daytime tv. Most likely to watch nighttime Sky/Fox = most likely to not be woke and not totally fucking useless (Munt). Therefore he captures the biggest nighttime tv audience he can.

Oh, FFS, people here have been having erections at the prospect of another USA civil war going back to the beginnings of Sinc’s site.
I do not have the hots for a US (or any other) civil war, but when Biden can effectively denounce almost half of the population as “enemies of the state”, then a negotiated “parting of the ways” seems to be the best possible outcome in the absence of even the least indication that the DemonRats are motivated by anything else than envy, hatred and an overwhelming lust for power over “The Lives of Others”.

Today the NSW Local Court dismissed all remaining complaints against me from homosexual activist and vexatious and serial litigant, Gary Burns. He has now failed in all 40 of his complaints against me.
Unfortunately, Burns has never once been ordered to pay the costs of his failed complaints. And it is clear that the NSW Local Court magistrate is intent on ensuring this injustice continues. No part of her judgement addressed at all the fact that he boasted that he was lodging complaints against me to bankrupt me. She is desperately doing all she can to avoid dealing with this fact.

Not a single kiddie fiddler was ever prosecuted.
Many people had to “suddenly leave town”, often leaving some teeth behind. The main problem was as I mentioned above, abuse of authority. I mention this quite secure in the knowledge you are 100% wrong, as a great uncle was jailed for exactly that offense and also was made a pariah by the town to the point he lived interstate after release.
People bashing partner/each other and/or their kids in the family home was regarded as none of anyone’s business.
Yes, and it was shit then. It still happens now, and its still shit, only the state often gets involved as well.
There is no point in looking backward, it’s gone for good. Developing a future is much harder, which perhaps is why some shy away from doing it.
And a large part of that is the shark like ‘must keep moving forward” idiocy of not returning to parts of old methods that worked.
EG: Their ABCcess this afternoon was wailing about NT homeless/family shelters being overwhelmed since the Elbow government allowed, deliberately, and with encouragement of many “wise” mongs, the lapsing of the restrictions on alcohol in Aboriginal communities.
Yet their dishonesty meant the didnt saw a word about why the laws lapsed only ‘better resources should have been put in place”.
A conservative [position would have been more along the lines of “lets do this in one place, and see if it works”, it would have been obvious it wouldnt, and the existing policy could remain in place.
What the conservatives do badly is rubbing past and continuing failures in the face of ‘progressives” every single day.

Friday morning in Amsterdam and my final day here. Off to the Jewish quarter this morning, will try to get in to the Portuguese synagogue and the flea market.
No opportunity to get anything useful about the farmer restrictions yesterday, except for much evidence of discontent in the countryside, summarised by large, home-made banners on the roundabouts – NO FARMS – NO FOOD. Trust the Dutch to get to the nub of it. Our tour guide was very much in favour of the farmers, a straw poll of one.
Here we have a country that has reclaimed vast tracts from the sea at tremendous expense in lives and material, only to be told they can’t use it productively. Except for wind turbines. So many as far as the eye can see, monuments to the crushing stupidity of the urban bugman. Like Ozymandias, I hope the day arrives soon where all that is left of these Gaia worship structures is a broken, useless pylon used as a roost for birds.
The other, underlying problem here is the worldwide one – a shortage of workers in all areas. Where have they all gone? So while you have “elite” halfwit think tanks opining that we need fewer people to function, the truth is the exact opposite.
Another incongruity. If the Europeans are so environment conscious, how is it that Amsterdam is so utterly filthy, trash and particularly cigarette bumpers everywhere? Everything eventually finds its way into the canals and then on to the sea. It seems the greater the virtue signalling, the worse the offences against the natural world.

You can take Avi & Rukshan’s visit to New Zealand as an example. The Rule of Law is being replaced with authoritarian edict, particularly in relation to independent reporters and journalists who choose to look at things which their colleagues in the main stream media prefer not to see.
Independent journalists such as Alina Lipp from Germany and Graham Phillips from the UK have had their assets and bank accounts seized by their own governments for reporting things which their governments didn’t want reported, in Alina’s case the German Government even took her father’s bank account. The Rule of Law is disappearing.

California plans to ban gas-powered vehicles by 2035. The Advanced Clean Cars II rule would ban ALL gas car sales in 2035, but there are no alternatives in place. The average American cannot afford an electric car or maintenance on an electric vehicle. Beginning in 2026, 35% of new autos sold in California will be required to produce zero emissions. By 2027, 51% of all new cars will need to be electric, and that amount will rise to 68% in 2028, followed by an all-out ban on gas-powered cars in 2035.
Well, California is already struggling to power the electric vehicles on the road in 2022. The California Independent System Operator called for a “voluntary energy conservation” during the upcoming Labor Day weekend due to the failing power grid. They are asking residents to refrain from charging their cars between 4 PM and 9 PM, which is when demand peaks. “If left unmanaged, the power demanded from many electric vehicles charging simultaneously in the evening will amplify existing peak loads, potentially outstripping the grid’s current capacity to meet demand,” Cornell University’s College of Engineering stated.
So electric vehicles have the potential to take down California’s power grid. The state estimates that it will need 1.2 million charging stations by 2030, but they have a mere 80,000 currently. California does not have the ability to implement this zero-emission ban without toppling the entire power grid.

And a large part of that is the shark like ‘must keep moving forward” idiocy of not returning to parts of old methods that worked.
It’s pretty clear with hindsight that universal suffrage was a catastrophe. Removing the vote from women is not possible while they have a say in the matter. Sometimes there is no going back, just have to find a workable path forward.
The role of conservatives was to ensure that those things that worked were preserved, well they failed miserably. I think this a general problem with democracy, the side that perseveres long enough eventually gets what it wants. The only real way to stop it is to convince the voting public to make the other side obsolete and disband all together. The system is structured to preserve some sort of balance between two major parties. For real change at least one of the old parties must die.
Wokeism is signaling the death throes of the left.

Labor in a flap on duck hunting, internal pressure mounts to ban shooting season
Sumeyya Ilanbey
Updated September 2, 2022 — 2.43pmfirst published at 2.26pm
One third of Andrews government MPs have taken the rare step of publicly voicing their support for a change in government policy to ban duck shooting.
In a move that highlights internal splits within the government, 22 Labor members, including current ministers, have declared their support for a change of policy via the Animal Justice Party website.
Labor has been under mounting pressure from environmental and animal rights’ groups, as well as rank-and-file members, to end the sport, particularly after the 2019 summer bushfires that wreaked havoc on wildlife numbers.
Some within the party are worried the position of the government’s leadership team could leave Labor vulnerable to the Greens, who support abolition, in the inner-city seats of Albert Park and Richmond where long-serving members Martin Foley and Richard Wynne are retiring at the upcoming November state election.
Others are worried about picking a fight on the issue and alienating voters in the suburbs and regions.
“Recreational hunting is a legitimate pastime enjoyed by tens of thousands of everyday and working Victorians,” a senior Labor source told The Age.
“Duck hunting is already heavily regulated. Why should the government pick a fight and ban an outdoor activity that is enjoyed safely by Victorians and contributes to our regional economies?”
Ministers Lizzie Blandthorn and Ingrid Stitt, as well as former ministers Jill Hennessy, Robin Scott, Wynne and Foley have all indicated they support moves to ban duck shooting. Others to go public with their position include Steve McGhie, Darren Cheeseman, John Kennedy, Nina Taylor and Kat Theophanous. There are 22 Labor MPs supporting change, most of them from the party’s Socialist Left faction.
“[Duck shooting] will always be an undoubtedly barbaric pastime with no commensurate benefits,” Hawthorn MP John Kennedy said. “The decline in waterbirds is a real concern, and I note the enlightened practices of some Labor states in this respect.”

The people behind Biden are using him, and he is compliant because they feed him with what he craves the way you would feed attack dogs with choice bits of meat even though they have no idea about what they are attacking.
Biden is like Obama. Happy to be in the limelight but oblivious as to what their purpose is.

Resident Hiden deliberately use the term “clear and present danger”…
If so that has a rather explicit meaning in American law and history. https://www.mtsu.edu/first-amendment/article/1102/world-war-i Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr. wrote the opinion that gave American law the famous “clear and present danger” test. Holmes argued that the speaker’s intent as well as the context in which the remarks were made must be examined, finding that wartime is less conducive to free speech than is peacetime. He wrote: “The question in every case is whether the words used are used in such circumstances and are of such a nature as to create a clear and present danger that they will bring about the substantive evils that Congress has a right to prevent.”
The Court crafted the test — and the bad tendency test, with which it is often conflated or contrasted — in cases involving seditious libels, that is, criticisms of the government, its officials, or its policies. It would be superseded by the imminent lawless action test in the late 1960s.
Holmes introduces idea of clear and present danger test
Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr. delivered the classic statement of the clear and present danger test in Schenck v. United States (1919): “The question in every case is whether the words used are used in such circumstances and are of such a nature as to create a clear and present danger that they will bring about the substantive evils that Congress has a right to prevent. It is a question of proximity and degree. When a nation is at war many things that might be said in time of peace are such a hindrance to its effort that their utterance will not be endured so long as men fight, and that no court could regard them as protected by any constitutional right.”
I hope this is senile idiocy and not a lead up to a fresh, long term attempt at silencing critics.
The second reply is a meme of Biden with his fist in the air with a caption “MAGA voters are the cause of our problems” and underneath Hitler, in an identical pose, stating “The JEWS are the cause of our problems”.

I was supposed to attend, I wasn’t well so I couldn’t but I know someone who did attend in the hope of hearing what Bettina had to say and she was a witness to the aggression and violence.
I attended that evening it was an absolutely terrifying experience, the University allocated a room with only one way in and one way out, when I arrived there was a group milling about and I was jostled as I went in, the violence and utter barbarity was appalling and I noted a rather portly young woman was leading the fray. Had Bettina not had about ten burly blokes holding back the throng of spitting, snarling anarchists I have not idea what would have happened.
There were quite a few young women in the room who were crying and terrified, which was of course the whole idea of the thugs at the door, the riot squad was called and then the screeching and violence was done and we listened to what Bettina had to say.
There were people there who’d flown in from Brisbane to hear Bettina.
I went on air with Alan Jones the next day to bear witness to the disgraceful behaviour. Furthermore, I pursued the matter with the Vice-Chancellor writing a formal complaint and asking that the students who led the fray be suspended or expelled from the University. It took months for the ‘investigation’. I was interviewed and then months went by, and every month or so I would write to the Vice-Chancellor and send a copy of my correspondence to Alan Jones because he was the only person in the media wanting answers to the silencing of a professional woman who simply wanted to tell the truth about the concocted ‘rape crisis on campus’.
Finally the particular student in question who was the ring-leader of the fiasco was given a lettuce leaf sanction and that was that, but violence on the campus of Sydney University is nothing new but the censorship is something else again.

“It always comes back to the Protocols.”
I suppose you know all about the “Protocols”. How is your copy? Is it tattered from too much reading? Are you in need of a new copy? If you’re after a new copy, come up to Sydney and venture out to Bankstown and Lakemba. You’ll find lots of new copies in several bookshops in these areas. The people who operate these bookshops, you know who I’m talking about Monty, those genocidal Jew haters you quaintly insist have “legitimate grievances” against Jews, have pristine new copies ready for you.

100%. The various global governments have committed to timelines for EVs as I have previously explained in detail. Assorted Green NGOs and spivs yell their giddy enthusiasm from every rooftop – but nobody appears to have seriously queried ‘what’ is required to achieve the desired outcome and the timeframe to achieve it (even setting aside the cost). Rationally, we would expect that sooner or later there will have to a reckoning of ambition -vs- reality. But, how hopeful are you that any rationality will creep into the process?
This is what I alluded to a while back – “As a generalisation, Men think of outcomes, women think of the process.”
The amount of women we currently have in politics is rising in lockstep with disastrous outcomes in just about every field of endeavour. I leave you to draw your own conclusions.

You can’t tell me Boris Johnson wasn’t aware of the catch-22 of this situation:

In the first few months of lockup, people were shut into their homes but pubs were allowed to stay open – with no customers. Until the government belatedly shut the pubs, they couldn’t claim insurance because they were “open”.
Major financial catastrophe for many because of the low margins they were already operating on.

OSC, one of my industry contacts in UK (a publican) told me that very few UK pubs received an insurance payout.
Turned out the word “pandemic” was in his insurance policy, so he was paid. Not easily, he had to fight for more than a year to get the underwriters to pay up.

One of the bigger shocks of my life was checking out the pub scene in UK/Ireland.
They’re all incredibly small operations (by Australian standard). Possibly half were mum & dad with occasional casual to help on Friday night.
It was quite a shock to be inside a pub, sizing it up, realising how shaky it would be (financially) then having the punters at the bar slyly confide that the pub owner is “doing alright mate”
Couldn’t these idiots see the pub was borderline at best?
The big shock was how many pubs some people owned. When I was there Whitehall was changing the licencing laws to limit an owner to no more than 3,000 pubs (three thousand)
Imagine my shock to learn this was causing quite some consternation, as it turned out quite a few operators owned more than three thousand pubs each.
(These owners would be the ones you mention, who’re screwing the licencee)

BTW I read recently that more and more dissenting pathologists believe that pseudouridine – an additive to the mRNA vaccines (I think to stabilise it) may be a significant culprit in the adverse reactions. That and the poor production scrutiny that caused variance in doses.
Pfizer Senior VP and whistle blower Mike Yeadon addressed this. He said there is NO WAY the dose variations between batches are accidents – he says if there is one thing big pharma can do it is to produce drugs to uniform standards. He believes the ‘hot lots’ were deliberate ‘dose response’ experiments.

Rugby league star Christian Welch has taken a brutal swipe at Peter FitzSimons for his hypocritical stance on Australian golfer Cam Smith signing with Saudi-backed LIV Golf tour.
Smith’s shift to the breakaway golf league is reportedly earning him $140 million – something the former Wallaby, author and husband of TV host Lisa Wilkinson slammed as “blood money” in a recent column.
But the Melbourne Storm prop, who has a Bachelor of Commerce and is completing his MBA, pointed out that FitzSimons recently appeared in an advertising campaign for the food delivery app Uber Eats, which Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman is a major investor in.
“It’s okay for you to profit (albeit indirectly) from the Saudi investment fund but not a golfer?” Welch shared on Twitter.
“Same money funding LIV invested in Uber, Boeing & Starbucks. Are you complicit when you get a ride home or a cappuccino? How far does it go? I don’t recall the same outrage at those companies, but dare a golfer accept the cash on offer.”

Safe sea crossings for electric vehicles and more (Phys.org, 1 Sep)
Ok, so if they are pursuing safe sea crossings for EVs that means sea crossings for EVs currently are not safe? Hmmm. “Certain challenges”? Hmmmm. That’s true: at least a couple of ships have had big fires and one sank.
The study also mentions a fire on a Baltic car ferry. So having EVs on car ferries is a risk that the whole ship will burn? Oops, don’t think the public is going to like that idea much. Nor insurance companies.
This new EV age is going to be entertaining. All those car transporters catching fire and sinking as they try to ship millions of the things from China to green woke western countries. And car ferries getting exothermically exitable. I’m sad for the poor sailors though.

Row over plans to rename ‘racist’ 350-year-old Black Bitch pub ‘The Willow Tree’ set to be decided by Scottish government
The pub in Linlithgow, West Lothian is set to be rebranded as The Willow Tree by brewers Greene King over fears that the existing name could be seen to be racist.
But more than 500 objections have been submitted and 11,000 have signed a petition to stop the move, with many locals and historians arguing that the ‘Black Bitch’, which refers to a local legend about a black female greyhound, has been associated with the town for hundreds of years.
It has now emerged that Greene King have turned to the government to have their proposed name change rubber-stamped, after West Lothian Council deferred the planning decision.
According to Greene King, councillors want to encourage heritage bosses to include the pub name in a protected listing to avoid the name change.
I am just waiting for the first EV to catch fire in a shopping centre car park especially one using the chargers where 5 or 6 other EVs are charging.
“Interested in people’s thoughts. “
I tend to agree Cassie, but I’d like to have the “opt-out” – that is, you have to say that for a specified amount of time, say 1 year, that you may decide not to vote. You still can vote, but you wouldn’t risk being fined if you didn’t. And it “times out” after some maximum time so that you need to keep renewing it if you don’t want to vote. It still requires effort to avoid it on your part, but not as much as either attending to vote or getting a postal vote prior, and you don’t need to worry if you forget an election (local,state etc) when going overseas or interstate, for example – it’s “pre-arranged” that you are likely not to vote.

The water crisis in Jackson, Mississippi, has gotten so bad, the city temporarily ran out of bottled water to give to residents
(CNN)Recent torrential rain coupled with years of water system issues have resulted in a crisis in Jackson, Mississippi, where the city doesn’t have enough water to fight fires, flush toilets or even hand out to residents in need.

If the words bother you, then look at this way. Conservatives have no roadmap for where the country should go. No plan. No big ideas. No way of dealing with rapid technological change and cultural change. Should culture change in response to technological change, almost certainly.
Technology isn’t slowing, cultural change isn’t slowing. If you are waiting for the church to revive the past good luck with that. The left have this Utopian ideal draped in grandiose virtuosity. It may total BS, but what does the right offer? A resistance to change? A little rear view mirror we can romanticise?

Yup. Biden keeps poking the bear in the hope that some crazed MAGA person will bomb or shoot something so he can enforce a police state and/or keep power.

“When Trump won in 2016, could we construe that as meaning the Hilderbeest’s voters were in the minority? Were they extremists?”

But Biden though – you can’t question THAT election, it was the “most secure in history” and don’t you forget it! The public servants said so, and they’re not partisan – how could they be when DC voted 90+% for Biden?
Why would Biden choose a very dark stage offset by deep, blood reds?
Surely, a Kleptocrapt would choose blue, right?

Oh, FFS, people here have been having erections at the prospect of another USA civil war going back to the beginnings of Sinc’s site.
Safe from any of the direct consequences, and devoid of understanding of US politics, they are thrilled by the prospect of our best military, political and cultural ally descending into civil war.
They love the idea of the USA being split into warring factions – literally. It feeds their wargaming fantasies. It also illustrates that they have no idea about the reality of how the USA works.
Now and then, this beyond stupid nonsense crops up here.

Yes, I know that floods can spoil water quality, but here they’re even saying there isn’t water to flush dunnies or hose a fire.

I don’t think it is likely but nor do I think it some far fetched possibility.
I’ve never seen the US so split ever before. Not just its citizenry but also in some of the people who work across various government and non-government organisations.
And, yes, while I think it very unlikely, it’ll only take a few more years as the new green deal bites… and then we’ll see how unlikely. Deprive people of power, water, food for a few days and let’s see what you get…

forgot where I saw it but a hand drawn depiction of the Kherson incursion yesterday gave the impression of an “almighty” slaughter might unfold on the Ukrainians caught in that pocket .. the caption/description of the planning was along the lines that not even Hitler would have been this stupid …..!
So the Most Miserable Turd of Point Piper says that the protest yesterday at Sydney Uni against his appearance at the Law Faculty was “complete fascism”.
Hmm, I do recall how this same Most Miserable Turd of Point Piper tried to block the free speech of others when he said the Morrison government should prevent members of parliament from debating the benefits of masks and the effectiveness of COVID vaccines. Don’t know about others but I regard that as “complete fascism”.
I also note that, during the last two years, when a curtain of fascism blanketed Australians, particularly those Australians living in Victoria, lockdowns, a pregnant woman in pyjamas arrested in her home, people bashed by police on the street, shops forcibly closed, anti-lockdown protests banned whilst BLM protests approved, the Most Miserable Turd of Point Piper said nothing then about that “complete fascism”.
The Most Miserable Turd of Point Piper is a hypocrite, no wonder comments under the Oz piece are closed.

Wailing Ghost turd of point Piper…
Well said. Some here say what was wrong with the 1950s? Well, if I was a female public servant, I, not my husband, would have to resign if we got married.
In NSW, police and political corruption raged. The place was run by crooks.
Not a single kiddie fiddler was ever prosecuted.
People bashing partner/each other and/or their kids in the family home was regarded as none of anyone’s business.
There is no point in looking backward, it’s gone for good. Developing a future is much harder, which perhaps is why some shy away from doing it.
Albo has the chance to be Australia’s greatest drover’s dog. If the Libs persist in putting up hopeless OLs like Dutton against him, he could rule for life.

Well said. Some here say what was wrong with the 1950s?
Most of us were still at school in the 1950s/early 60s and regardless of the foresight to now gaze back at the “adult” 1950s it was the greatest of times to be a kid .. LOL!
Speed up? There’s quite a bit of scope to speed up the processing.
Nine years ago, in the peak of the mining boom, it was impossible to recruit skilled staff & even more difficult to retain them.
I employed & sponsored an onshore applicant as “Office Manager”.
Four years pass without the sponsorship application being processed, then it was cast aside. Reason: Sharayva (Immigration officer) determined sight unseen that my business could have no possible use for office staff.
(A stupid determination)
Immediately lodged an appeal on the grounds I bluddee well do have need for office staff.
Five years pass, & now I’ve just received notice that the appeal will go to a hearing later this year. (Most appeals do not go to a hearing)
Yep, there’s a helluva lot of scope to speed up the processing.
I am just waiting for the first EV to catch fire on a country road, just before harvest, 45 degrees, screeching wind, and not a firie for sixty miles…
I expect he means that it is a right wing thing – in which case, sure. Sydney Uni has long been notorious as a nest of right wing ideas.
Being shouted down and pushed out is pure cancel culture. It is not a right wing thing. All those other people who were prevented from speaking, or were publicly abused in denunciations even in our parliament, or threatened with violence just for writing a twit, or demurring in the mildest terms on whatever the current thing is – the miserable ghost never uttered a word.
But now it is him…
In Orwell’s famous book the comrade Winston knows who was also arrested after his daughter informed against him. He is unshaken in his conviction that something or other has gone wrong. He is not supposed to be there. Only other people. Bad people.
Oh, and if Trumble pissed off the kids at Syd Uni before, they will love him for calling them fascists.
The veracity of the claims is something for the police to investigate, duncan.
I was wondering out loud about if they were true, which means the claims are not without some credibility given what we know.
As a father of a daughter, if I knew about this going on and the police weren’t seriously interested in it, I know I’d have issued a warning to the man concerned which would have begun with three strategically directed strikes, followed with “Stay away from …..” spoken over his prone body.
Impeccable sourcing.
“Fuck off back to Wentworth, ruling class scum” doesn’t sound very Fascist to me.

“So the Most Miserable Turd of Point Piper says that the protest yesterday at Sydney Uni against his appearance at the Law Faculty was “complete fascism”.”
I should also add that the Most Miserable Turd of Point Piper said NOTHING in 2018 when Bettina Arndt tried to give a speech at Sydney University, her speech it was violently disrupted by far-left protesters, who pushed and shoved attendees, police were called and what ensued was basically a riot by the far-left scum. I was supposed to attend, I wasn’t well so I couldn’t but I know someone who did attend in the hope of hearing what Bettina had to say and she was a witness to the aggression and violence.
The Most Miserable Turd said nothing about that incident of “complete fascism”.
The obtuseness of Turnbull and his fellow soft leftists is perfectly illustrated by his remarks to the press since, “If they had issues with me or my record, they could have come to the event & asked questions and challenged me, we could have had a discussion.”
He thinks the hard prog-left wants a “discussion.”
The veracity of the claims is something for the police to investigate,
I’m quite touched by folks faith in plod … then again, daily life in a drug addled western Sydney “houso” estate tends to give a slightly more”jaundiced” outlook on plod service to the community .. LOL!
Let’s not forget that any investigation into the Dawson/schoolgirl affairs would involve plod looking at older plod investigations and/or lack of … plod investigating plod does not come across as the ideal way to follow-up anything …….!

“I am not a conservative, so not sure why are asking me to solve conservative’s broad problem of what the hell conservatism means in the coming decades. It’s up to the conservative intelligentsia to clearly elucidate what they propose their version of society should look like this century.”
In the US there’s a lot of debate/discussion/disputation around how to best define “conservatism” and how to map out a future direction for conservatism….and even for right-wing politics. There are various philosophical differences between the likes of “conservative intelligentsia”…such as Yoram Hazony, Sohrab Ahmari, David Harsanyi, Rod Dreher and others. It’s quite interesting to listen to their various takes on what “conservatism” should encapsulate and what it’s future should be. I agree with some things and disagree with other things but at least in the US they talk and engage and are trying to map out a course for the future. Here is Oz we have nothing….except here on the Cat, and then we have CPAC coming up.
Anybody who wants to see great golf played outside the US should be backing LIV Golf. The PGA are just another monopolist trying to protect their turf. Just be careful of invitations to the Embassy.

Haha remembering old times (2007) when Krudd and Murdoch were besties and Murdoch vowed NewsCorpse would be carbon neutral by 2010:
https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2007/may/17/rupertmurdoch.broadcasting
For leftists and rightists alike, I’ve always argued that Murdoch is not a “right wing 666 activist” nor a “left wing activist” when announcing shite like this or letting Troy Bramston (and others) still write crap in The Oz or present on Sky (Kieran).
Murdoch is a pure genius capitalist. Full stop. If he were into climate denial then why do daytime presenters on Sky and Fox drip like wet Turnbulls and yet night-time presenters are conservative and skeptical of some sciences and woke faculties/ideas.
Because the man is a capitalist. And a genius. I can’t say I have the same thirst for money he does and nor does it govern my life but I put it to Cats that he wants to capture the best available markets at the best available times:
1) Daytime TV on Sky/Fox: Unemployed, students, under-employed, un-employable, likely disabled or socially inept, fat (Munts). Therefore: Present hate for rich, elite, healthy, white, mainstream working Australians/Americans etc… Therefore he captures the biggest daytime tv audience he can.
2) Nighttime TV: Employed, family, commitments, responsibilities, sick of paying taxes for crap, work all day and no time for daytime tv. Most likely to watch nighttime Sky/Fox = most likely to not be woke and not totally fucking useless (Munt). Therefore he captures the biggest nighttime tv audience he can.
My 25 cents worth…

Oh, FFS, people here have been having erections at the prospect of another USA civil war going back to the beginnings of Sinc’s site.
I do not have the hots for a US (or any other) civil war, but when Biden can effectively denounce almost half of the population as “enemies of the state”, then a negotiated “parting of the ways” seems to be the best possible outcome in the absence of even the least indication that the DemonRats are motivated by anything else than envy, hatred and an overwhelming lust for power over “The Lives of Others”.

Some good news about gaynor:
Today the NSW Local Court dismissed all remaining complaints against me from homosexual activist and vexatious and serial litigant, Gary Burns. He has now failed in all 40 of his complaints against me.
Unfortunately, Burns has never once been ordered to pay the costs of his failed complaints. And it is clear that the NSW Local Court magistrate is intent on ensuring this injustice continues. No part of her judgement addressed at all the fact that he boasted that he was lodging complaints against me to bankrupt me. She is desperately doing all she can to avoid dealing with this fact.

I worked for a German brand which projected itself as prestige luxury and you would expect back office systems to match. Alas I pointed out to colleagues that it was like the German army back in WWII, you’d think it’s all Volkswagens, 88s and Panzers. In reality it’s mainly horse drawn wagons.
I’ve had this theory for a while that aside from hoovering corruption money out of the west, the destruction of the neo nazi militias and forces is being orchestrated by zelenski, or at least through him.
Indolent – the “experts” will not give up on the vaccines until they are forced to by governments. They are too invested in them – professionally & , in some cases, financially.
It is incredulous to many of us – but there it is – the mob that in past civilisations burnt us heretics at the stake.
Today I came across an old (88 years) doctor friend in the supermarket. A year ago he was incredulous when my husband told him we would not be vaccinated. Interesting that he did not raise it today.
BTW I read recently that more and more dissenting pathologists believe that pseudouridine – an additive to the mRNA vaccines (I think to stabilise it) may be a significant culprit in the adverse reactions. That and the poor production scrutiny that caused variance in doses.
I was thinking more the 70’s than 50’s
And no there were of course shit bits then as well, mainly a little too much deferring to people in positions of authority etc…

Not a single kiddie fiddler was ever prosecuted.
Many people had to “suddenly leave town”, often leaving some teeth behind. The main problem was as I mentioned above, abuse of authority. I mention this quite secure in the knowledge you are 100% wrong, as a great uncle was jailed for exactly that offense and also was made a pariah by the town to the point he lived interstate after release.
People bashing partner/each other and/or their kids in the family home was regarded as none of anyone’s business.
Yes, and it was shit then. It still happens now, and its still shit, only the state often gets involved as well.
There is no point in looking backward, it’s gone for good. Developing a future is much harder, which perhaps is why some shy away from doing it.
And a large part of that is the shark like ‘must keep moving forward” idiocy of not returning to parts of old methods that worked.
EG: Their ABCcess this afternoon was wailing about NT homeless/family shelters being overwhelmed since the Elbow government allowed, deliberately, and with encouragement of many “wise” mongs, the lapsing of the restrictions on alcohol in Aboriginal communities.
Yet their dishonesty meant the didnt saw a word about why the laws lapsed only ‘better resources should have been put in place”.
A conservative [position would have been more along the lines of “lets do this in one place, and see if it works”, it would have been obvious it wouldnt, and the existing policy could remain in place.
What the conservatives do badly is rubbing past and continuing failures in the face of ‘progressives” every single day.

Friday morning in Amsterdam and my final day here. Off to the Jewish quarter this morning, will try to get in to the Portuguese synagogue and the flea market.
No opportunity to get anything useful about the farmer restrictions yesterday, except for much evidence of discontent in the countryside, summarised by large, home-made banners on the roundabouts – NO FARMS – NO FOOD. Trust the Dutch to get to the nub of it. Our tour guide was very much in favour of the farmers, a straw poll of one.
Here we have a country that has reclaimed vast tracts from the sea at tremendous expense in lives and material, only to be told they can’t use it productively. Except for wind turbines. So many as far as the eye can see, monuments to the crushing stupidity of the urban bugman. Like Ozymandias, I hope the day arrives soon where all that is left of these Gaia worship structures is a broken, useless pylon used as a roost for birds.
The other, underlying problem here is the worldwide one – a shortage of workers in all areas. Where have they all gone? So while you have “elite” halfwit think tanks opining that we need fewer people to function, the truth is the exact opposite.
Another incongruity. If the Europeans are so environment conscious, how is it that Amsterdam is so utterly filthy, trash and particularly cigarette bumpers everywhere? Everything eventually finds its way into the canals and then on to the sea. It seems the greater the virtue signalling, the worse the offences against the natural world.
While I’m croaking maledictions, why are Aussies so embarrassing? We had two champions on the bus yesterday – out in the glorious fresh, Autumnal air. Both in grungy surgical masks which they fiddled with like fetishes.
Everyone else, apart from a pair of Asians were “uncovered” and unconcerned.
We have been in areas packed cheek by jowl with the great poxy unwashed and still nary a sniffle. Giving Vicki’s nasal spray a workout, to be sure, to be sure.

You can take Avi & Rukshan’s visit to New Zealand as an example. The Rule of Law is being replaced with authoritarian edict, particularly in relation to independent reporters and journalists who choose to look at things which their colleagues in the main stream media prefer not to see.
Independent journalists such as Alina Lipp from Germany and Graham Phillips from the UK have had their assets and bank accounts seized by their own governments for reporting things which their governments didn’t want reported, in Alina’s case the German Government even took her father’s bank account. The Rule of Law is disappearing.

California plans to ban gas-powered vehicles by 2035. The Advanced Clean Cars II rule would ban ALL gas car sales in 2035, but there are no alternatives in place. The average American cannot afford an electric car or maintenance on an electric vehicle. Beginning in 2026, 35% of new autos sold in California will be required to produce zero emissions. By 2027, 51% of all new cars will need to be electric, and that amount will rise to 68% in 2028, followed by an all-out ban on gas-powered cars in 2035.
Well, California is already struggling to power the electric vehicles on the road in 2022. The California Independent System Operator called for a “voluntary energy conservation” during the upcoming Labor Day weekend due to the failing power grid. They are asking residents to refrain from charging their cars between 4 PM and 9 PM, which is when demand peaks. “If left unmanaged, the power demanded from many electric vehicles charging simultaneously in the evening will amplify existing peak loads, potentially outstripping the grid’s current capacity to meet demand,” Cornell University’s College of Engineering stated.
So electric vehicles have the potential to take down California’s power grid. The state estimates that it will need 1.2 million charging stations by 2030, but they have a mere 80,000 currently. California does not have the ability to implement this zero-emission ban without toppling the entire power grid.

It’s pretty clear with hindsight that universal suffrage was a catastrophe. Removing the vote from women is not possible while they have a say in the matter. Sometimes there is no going back, just have to find a workable path forward.
The role of conservatives was to ensure that those things that worked were preserved, well they failed miserably. I think this a general problem with democracy, the side that perseveres long enough eventually gets what it wants. The only real way to stop it is to convince the voting public to make the other side obsolete and disband all together. The system is structured to preserve some sort of balance between two major parties. For real change at least one of the old parties must die.
Wokeism is signaling the death throes of the left.

PS, apart from a half-arsed attempt at humour about Biden mispronouncing MAGA as Maggie, has m0nty-fa uttered even a word of regret about the speech in which Biden effectively denounced almost half of the population as “enemies of the state”? No? Thought not.

I think he’s already done that. And there was a HC case determining that a NSW complaint of homophobia could not be brought against a resident of another state, QLD; which is what is happening. This is the fault of the LNP NSW government; parrot-tate is a big disappointment, obviously he is exhausted by all the home shagging he is doing.
I wasn’t even alive in 50’s, far from it so can’t comment. Vaguely remember the late ’70’s, 80’s onwards was much more aware. I am looking at the last couple of years and wowee I want the old times back.

I don’t reckon Biden is evil – well, nothing more than personally evil. But the people behind him are malignant. Biden cannot read a teleprompter – of you knew the sort of stuff that should be on there (it being your intentions) you would not fuck up.
The people behind Biden are using him, and he is compliant because they feed him with what he craves the way you would feed attack dogs with choice bits of meat even though they have no idea about what they are attacking.
Biden is like Obama. Happy to be in the limelight but oblivious as to what their purpose is.

Trump supporters have been none of the things Biden supporters are & Trump was none of the things Biden is.
Yesterday, a Trumpist got ten years gaol for beating a cop with a flag pole during 1/6.
How many years did the Ante-fa thugs who beat up Andy Ngo get? One law for DemonRats, and one for the rest?
No. Nobody did.
I do remember, however, a podgy ranga wise in the ways of ‘trusted bloggers’ who was extremely supportive of noted communist and anti-Semite Jeremy Corbyn’s platform – which included commentary of this type – right up to the point he got belted by Boris in the most recent UK election.
Oh mUnter. It always comes back to this. Always.
I’d refer to you as Bird-lite from now on, but there’s no way Bird’s lighter than you.
Resident Hiden deliberately use the term “clear and present danger”…
If so that has a rather explicit meaning in American law and history.
https://www.mtsu.edu/first-amendment/article/1102/world-war-i
Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr. wrote the opinion that gave American law the famous “clear and present danger” test. Holmes argued that the speaker’s intent as well as the context in which the remarks were made must be examined, finding that wartime is less conducive to free speech than is peacetime. He wrote: “The question in every case is whether the words used are used in such circumstances and are of such a nature as to create a clear and present danger that they will bring about the substantive evils that Congress has a right to prevent.”

https://mtsu.edu/first-amendment/article/898/clear-and-present-danger-test
Early in the 20th century, the Supreme Court established the clear and present danger test as the predominant standard for determining when speech is protected by the First Amendment.
The Court crafted the test — and the bad tendency test, with which it is often conflated or contrasted — in cases involving seditious libels, that is, criticisms of the government, its officials, or its policies. It would be superseded by the imminent lawless action test in the late 1960s.
Holmes introduces idea of clear and present danger test
Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr. delivered the classic statement of the clear and present danger test in Schenck v. United States (1919): “The question in every case is whether the words used are used in such circumstances and are of such a nature as to create a clear and present danger that they will bring about the substantive evils that Congress has a right to prevent. It is a question of proximity and degree. When a nation is at war many things that might be said in time of peace are such a hindrance to its effort that their utterance will not be endured so long as men fight, and that no court could regard them as protected by any constitutional right.”
I hope this is senile idiocy and not a lead up to a fresh, long term attempt at silencing critics.

The old thief is evil- both personally and as a political parasite. Always has been. It says a lot about Delaware that people there have consistently for the criminal grifter for decades.
You don’t bring me flowers, you don’t sing me love songs…
Instead, he buys me scotch fillet and cooks it with mushrooms… and love.
I think I’ll keep him.
I attended that evening it was an absolutely terrifying experience, the University allocated a room with only one way in and one way out, when I arrived there was a group milling about and I was jostled as I went in, the violence and utter barbarity was appalling and I noted a rather portly young woman was leading the fray. Had Bettina not had about ten burly blokes holding back the throng of spitting, snarling anarchists I have not idea what would have happened.
There were quite a few young women in the room who were crying and terrified, which was of course the whole idea of the thugs at the door, the riot squad was called and then the screeching and violence was done and we listened to what Bettina had to say.
There were people there who’d flown in from Brisbane to hear Bettina.
I went on air with Alan Jones the next day to bear witness to the disgraceful behaviour. Furthermore, I pursued the matter with the Vice-Chancellor writing a formal complaint and asking that the students who led the fray be suspended or expelled from the University. It took months for the ‘investigation’. I was interviewed and then months went by, and every month or so I would write to the Vice-Chancellor and send a copy of my correspondence to Alan Jones because he was the only person in the media wanting answers to the silencing of a professional woman who simply wanted to tell the truth about the concocted ‘rape crisis on campus’.
Finally the particular student in question who was the ring-leader of the fiasco was given a lettuce leaf sanction and that was that, but violence on the campus of Sydney University is nothing new but the censorship is something else again.
Yep. Taylor Swift gets me every time too.
Probably an act of self preservation since they make wood ducks seem intelligent.

The old thief may be off with the pixies half the time, but I reckon the old grub means every word of it. How dare ordinary people try to crash their party which only for career political parasites like Biden who have never had a real job.

Correct. Look at the Senators from Massachusetts – Markey and Warren.
They can identify with a threatened species.

“It always comes back to the Protocols.”
I suppose you know all about the “Protocols”. How is your copy? Is it tattered from too much reading? Are you in need of a new copy? If you’re after a new copy, come up to Sydney and venture out to Bankstown and Lakemba. You’ll find lots of new copies in several bookshops in these areas. The people who operate these bookshops, you know who I’m talking about Monty, those genocidal Jew haters you quaintly insist have “legitimate grievances” against Jews, have pristine new copies ready for you.

No you’re not. Your comment about the Protocols says everything about you. You’re a disgraceful hypocrite just like those who you quaintly refer to as having “legitimate grievances”.
Monty should have paid more attention at school, for he’s misspelling ‘proctologist’

You can’t tell me Boris Johnson wasn’t aware of the catch-22 of this situation:
watching Tom Kerridge’s UK “Pub Rescue”, which ran slap bang into the house arrest crackdown after 5 months of filming.
In the first few months of lockup, people were shut into their homes but pubs were allowed to stay open – with no customers. Until the government belatedly shut the pubs, they couldn’t claim insurance because they were “open”.
Major financial catastrophe for many because of the low margins they were already operating on.
A deliberate strategy to ruin a large sector of the economy? Most probably.
Massive incompetence? No way – England is run by the best and brightest so it’s not a mistake.

OSC, one of my industry contacts in UK (a publican) told me that very few UK pubs received an insurance payout.
Turned out the word “pandemic” was in his insurance policy, so he was paid. Not easily, he had to fight for more than a year to get the underwriters to pay up.
Nine months of lockdown – his eventual payout was Seven thousand sterling.

Piers Akerman on Bill Shorten Budget reply 2015. Came up from our of the blue, still makes me chuckle:
“Shorten’s thought bubbles, conveyed in declamatory tones that might have made the most orotund Shakespearean thespian pause, were as theatrical as his offers of bipartisanship.”
With this excellent prose, who did it better, Akerman or Professor Bunyip? Both outstanding
The very same one but you’d have to understand that she went to the Newtown School of Performing Arts so knowing anything wasn’t an expected outcome.
Good God!
Yes Bunyip was very memorable- “Victoria University- a modest institution with much to be modest about”.

One of the bigger shocks of my life was checking out the pub scene in UK/Ireland.
They’re all incredibly small operations (by Australian standard). Possibly half were mum & dad with occasional casual to help on Friday night.
It was quite a shock to be inside a pub, sizing it up, realising how shaky it would be (financially) then having the punters at the bar slyly confide that the pub owner is “doing alright mate”
Couldn’t these idiots see the pub was borderline at best?
The big shock was how many pubs some people owned. When I was there Whitehall was changing the licencing laws to limit an owner to no more than 3,000 pubs (three thousand)
Imagine my shock to learn this was causing quite some consternation, as it turned out quite a few operators owned more than three thousand pubs each.
(These owners would be the ones you mention, who’re screwing the licencee)

Tints was very restrained – she didn’t go all Aunty Jack on their house sized backsides. If she had they would have known it while they were being (figuratively) belted into Pluto – where hopefully, no one would have been able to hear their incessant screeching.

Pfizer Senior VP and whistle blower Mike Yeadon addressed this. He said there is NO WAY the dose variations between batches are accidents – he says if there is one thing big pharma can do it is to produce drugs to uniform standards. He believes the ‘hot lots’ were deliberate ‘dose response’ experiments.
