stalin and the one testicled austrian corporal were jointly responsible for WW2 in Europe.

Yup.

Hitler was terrified of a war on two fronts, again as a result of his WW1 experience. The Russians allying with him vanished that threat and gave him a free hand to attack westward.

Had they instead said they would side with the Western powers then Hitler would never have dared invaded nations so freely – he would have been a demagogue who had his moment in the sun then been overshadowed and disposed of with the next big thing.

I can feel pity for the Russian people and what they suffered in WW2, but I cannot fall in line with the idea that Russia was unjustly and perfidiously attacked. The Russian state was party to all that. If the Germans were insanely vicious in their attack on Russia then the Soviet government were blithely complicit in setting it all up.

Is silver currently undervalued? I understand it has many more uses than gold yet worth nothing like the yellow stuff.

Silver is both a monetary metal and a commodity and as such currently has opposing forces pulling it – the shitty state of the economy tends to pull its price down, and the rampant money printing of late pulling its price up.

Historically, the ‘silver gold ratio’ (the price of 1 oz of gold vs the price of 1 Oz of silver) varies from a low of about 15:1 to a high of 60 or even 100:1. The present ratio, at 95:1 is on the high end and would therefore historically be likely to fall (ie silver will gain more value than gold relatively speaking.

The above, plus the increasing demand for silver to feed the worlds ‘green dream’ means I am buying more silver than gold atm.

If the Germans were insanely vicious in their attack on Russia then the Soviet government were blithely complicit in setting it all up.

stalin later gave a speech stating that the nayzee-soviet pact “secured us peace for two years”.

All while the western powers flailed into ignominy and the nayzees went on to conquer pretty much the remainder of Europe, before turning three million jack boot clad fieldgrau landser onto those vast eastern plains.

And, honestly, without the uniforms do you think it possible to distinguish between life under the Nazis and under the Soviets. The only difference is surely the holocaust, but Hitler is not despised merely as a racist. And certainly the Soviets were eager to slaughter innocents because of their supposed criminality as apportioned by doctrine.

I once spoke to a bloke (uncle of a friend) who had, as a little kid, been on the last boat out of Riga before the Soviets took over. Unfortunately the boat went to Germany. There was one story about how, near the end of the war, his mother went out of hiding to try to get some food, and was spotted by a group of soldiers who started shooting at her. She escaped by falling down, pretending to be dead, and getting covered by falling snow before the soldiers got close enough to be able to find her.
I asked him whether the soldiers were Communists or Nazis. “What’s the difference?” he asked.

I can feel pity for the Russian people and what they suffered in WW2, but I cannot fall in line with the idea that Russia was unjustly and perfidiously attacked. The Russian state was party to all that.

And from 1920 onwards, they facilitated the Germans working around the Versailles restrictions, and rearming to a point that when Hitler eventually came to power (and it was undertaken openly), German military might was close to parity with the Western powers. In technological and doctrinal terms, they were light years ahead due to research and training activities undertaken in Russia.

Russia eventually took it hard, but they helped to instigate it and empower the Germans. They also cheered wildly (and supplied him) when Hitler turned towards the West, for no other reason than they thought the Capitalists and Socialists would attrit each other massively. Boy, wasn’t Stalin pissed off that France was such a walk over, and losses were so light amongst the Germans.

The average Russian didn’t deserve what he/she got in WW2, but the Bolsheviks were as much to blame as Hitler.

Marxism never understood where these things came from, what they represented, and what the achieved.

The inequality where the brilliant and the productive receive greater rewards is part of the genius of capitalism to unleash brilliance and productivity.

Lefties, contrary to all experience and history, believe wealth is the natural state for humanity, rather than poverty.

Probably why they always fail.

On the topic of Cornwall, I know the counties of Cornwall, Somerset, Devon and Dorset quite well. My grandfather’s ancestors were German Jews who washed up on Cornwall’s shores in the 1730s. Penzance once had a small and vibrant Jewish community, quite active for about a hundred years. You can still see the Jewish presence in Penzance. They were poor people, pedlars and watchmakers. The community dispersed in the mid 1800s as people left for London and further afield…Australia. Cornwall and Devon’s scenery is majestic and well worth visiting.

Artist to paint over ‘utterly offensive’ Melbourne mural after Ukrainian community anger
By Ashleigh McMillan
September 4, 2022 — 5.28pm

A Melbourne artist says he will remove a three-storey mural he painted in South Melbourne of a Ukrainian soldier hugging a Russian soldier after the city’s Ukrainian community decried it as a “profound insult” that downplayed the brutal invasion of their homeland.

The mural on Kings Way entitled Peace Before Pieces was revealed this week after being created by Melbourne-based artist Peter Seaton, who works under the name CTO.

The artwork upset local Ukrainians who likened it to Russian propaganda and compared it to a rapist and a victim hugging while the crime is still occurring. Seaton on Sunday said he would remove the mural by Monday.

Ukraine’s Ambassador to Australia Vasyl Myroshnychenko said the work was “utterly offensive to all Ukrainians” and had called for it to be removed.

“The painter has no clue about the [Russian] invasion of Ukraine and it is disappointing to see it done without consulting the Ukrainian community in Melbourne,” he said on Twitter.

Art 4 Ukraine Australia said in a statement it had been in contact with Seaton before the mural was painted, but he had decided to proceed with the concept “regardless of our pleas for reason”.

“Peter had presented this piece to our team, who explained the insensitive nature of the image and that the message was inappropriate,” the group said.

The artist collective implored Seaton on Sunday to remove the Ukrainian and Russian flags on the mural to “merely portray an image supporting peace worldwide”.

In response, Seaton said he had initially received positive feedback from some in the art collective, but as time went on and the piece was discussed further by the committee, a belief evolved that the work could be misconstrued as “offensive”.

“I had to get behind a message of peace, that’s always what I’m about,” he said.

Noble Park Association of Ukrainians in Victoria branch president Liana Slipetsky said when she first saw the mural, she felt embarrassed that it had been erected in Australia.

“What would Ukrainian refugees think of that? They’ve just sought safe haven here and then that mural’s in their face? What is that saying to them about Australians?” she said

A Melbourne dad has been banned from all tennis courts in Australia for at least the next two years after launching into a tirade at his son’s under-14 match in December last year.

In a heavily redacted decision, the Australian Sports Tribunal upheld a years-long ban against the dad, and branded his racist, aggressive tirade a disgrace.

Monty sets up so many people here. They are the beclowned ones. He rings a bell and people start salivating. They then quickly move onto rationalizing why it is so imperative his claims must be countered. Conservatism is losing on all fronts and the self proclaimed champions of conservatism waste their time perennially complaining about people like Monty. Great strategy, works so well that conservatism has lost in education, the media, politics, SSM, LGBTQi, racism, economics, the vaccines, the pandemic response, with wokery penetrating deep into corporate, sport, and popular culture.

But go right ahead, keep on responding to someone who is clearly sucking you into pointless discussions. That worked so well in the past. Sent Monty running away beclowned and embarrassed. Pigs arse. He wins so much here he is tired of winning.

Cornwall is harsh & bleak, Devon is soft – epitomising the phrase “….a green and pleasant land”

Heck, the landscapes of the North & South islands of New Zealand are more like each other than are Devon & Cornwall.

Electric car owners told to avoid charging during California heatwave

US power companies have warned California’s electric-car owners to avoid charging their vehicles this weekend, as high temperatures and a public holiday spark concerns about the strength of the state’s energy grid.

The rollout of electric cars in California has triggered an energy crisis that many industry insiders have feared since the increase in sales of zero emissions vehicles.

Electric-car owners in California have been told to avoid charging their vehicles as the US state prepares for a heat wave this weekend.

The Labor Day holiday coincides with predicted temperatures between 35 to 38 degrees celsius in south-west California, placing excess demand on the state’s electricity grid.

In a media statement from the American Public Power Association (APPA), electric-car owners have been warned that charging their vehicles during high-demand periods (between 4pm and 9pm) could lead to power outages.

“The top three conservation actions are to set thermostats to 78 degrees (fahrenheit, 25.5 degrees celsius) or higher, avoid using large appliances and charging electric vehicles, and turn off unnecessary lights,” an APPA spokesperson said in a statement.

“Lowering electricity use during that time will ease strain on the system, and prevent more drastic measures, including rotating power outages.”

Nirvana wins dismissal of ‘Nevermind’ naked baby’s lawsuit
By Jonathan Stempel
September 4, 2022 — 7.25pm

Los Angeles: Nirvana has won the dismissal of a lawsuit by a man who claimed his depiction as a naked four-month-old baby on the cover of the band’s seminal 1991 album Nevermind was child pornography.

In a decision on Friday, US District Judge Fernando Olguin in Los Angeles said Spencer Elden waited too long to claim Nirvana sexually exploited him, having sued more than 10 years after learning about the cover.

Other defendants included Nirvana members Dave Grohl and Krist Novoselic, late lead singer Kurt Cobain’s widow Courtney Love, several record labels and photographer Kirk Weddle.

The lawsuit stemmed from Nirvana’s use of a photo taken by Weddle in 1991 at the Pasadena Aquatic Centre in California, which depicted Elden swimming naked toward a dollar bill pierced with a fish hook.

Elden was interviewed in 2003 at age 12 by Rolling Stone magazine about the photo, saying he was “probably gonna get some money from it,” and recreated the image as an adult in 2016 with “Nevermind” tattooed on his chest.

He nevertheless claimed in his lawsuit, which began in August 2021, that he met the statute of limitations because his injuries including emotional distress, lost earning capacity and “loss of enjoyment of life” continued into adulthood.

The judge rejected that argument, saying it would effectively permit Elden to sue Nirvana indefinitely.

“In sum, plaintiff fails to allege that he knew of a violation that occurred while he was a minor or an injury that forms the basis of the claim within ten years of filing this action,” Olguin wrote.

Elden had filed three versions of his complaint, and Olguin’s dismissal prevents him from filing a fourth.

A lawyer for Elden did not immediately respond on to requests for comment.

Bert Deixler, a lawyer for the defendants, said: “We are pleased that this meritless case has been brought to a speedy final conclusion.”

Rather, an analogy more accurate involving someone like the person Monty would be to recall that the Archfiend is someone who would make two true claims only for the sake of deceiving with the third claim. It used to be said as the trick of the devil. No doubt an unwelcome analogy even if apt.

That’s the word I was looking for. Demonrats are fanatics.

If there are fascists in America these days, they are apt to be found among the tribes of the left. They are Mr. Biden and his people (including the lion’s share of the media), whose opinions have, since Jan. 6, 2021, hardened into absolute faith that any party or political belief system except their own is illegitimate—impermissible, inhuman, monstrous and (a nice touch) a threat to democracy. The evolution of their overprivileged emotions—their sentimentality gone fanatic—has led them, in 2022, to embrace Mussolini’s formula: “All within the state, nothing outside the state, nothing against the state.” Or against the party. (People forget, if they ever knew it, that both Hitler and Mussolini began as socialists). The state and the Democratic Party must speak and act as one, suppressing all dissent. America must conform to the orthodoxy—to the Chinese finger-traps of diversity-or-else and open borders—and rejoice in mandatory drag shows and all such theater of “gender.” Meantime, their man in the White House invokes emergency powers to forgive student debt and their thinkers wonder whether the Constitution and the separation of powers are all they’re cracked up to be.

Data shows that the Bronze Age city of Tall al Hammam in the Jordan Valley, which many link with the Biblical city of Sodom, was destroyed by a ‘cosmic airburst’ in 1650 BC that was over a thousand times more powerful than the atomic bomb over Hiroshima

What is all this and what has been uncovered?

I’m always lurking. My time spent now is trying to find IT and get him back on.

God’s work, Harry. Try to hunt down Tiny Dancer, Pickles and Token while you’re at it.

Meanwhile, just got back from a tour of a thirteenth century castle and Varazdin, the old capital. The countryside is still green, with the slightest hint of gold and crimson in the forests, an anticipation of autumn. The little roadside orchards are laden with all sorts of apples and quinces and pears, the flower gardens all but spent. Soon there will be a dusting of frost over all of it.

All the holdings are small, farming here is a family affair. Many of the whitewashed, terracotta roofed houses have little vineyards as well as orchards, chook pens and a few animals. Roadside stalls gleam with nets of red, yellow and green peppers, chilis of various sorts, onions and potatoes.

It has been hot today – an Indian summer. The cobbles of the old city burned through the soles of our shoes so we and our guide sat under some pleached birches and enjoyed the local beer. We had him all to ourselves (it was one of those private tours) so I asked him about the pandemic and his thoughts. You will not be surprised – they mirrored much of the commentary here, especially on “experts”, lockdowns and handouts. For someone in his mid-thirties, he was very well informed.

The castle was Trakoscan. It had a magnificent collection of weaponry, including pikes, sabres and heaps of long arms of the muzzle loader variety.

I had wondered about the appearance of Zagreb, and the walls covered with graffiti despite there being very little litter about. There was an earthquake here in 2020 and all the buildings are awaiting renovation/refacing.

Snapshot of the park as we walked back to the hotel. A half-moon hanging above, the huge plane trees gleaming in the park lights, their vast mottled trunks smooth and silky. The dog walkers are playing with small pooches, throwing a ball that they all chase – the Jack Russell is fastest…naturally. One hairy, unidentifiable fluff ball quits, lays prone on the soft grass, tongue lolling.

On the paths, children are out and about with their parents. One little girl has an impressive scooter that sparks when the wheels move. Others are up in the bandstand, playing. Teenagers are sitting in circles on the grass, chatting, others strolling hand in hand.

There are people everywhere, typical of a city where flats are small and the wide open spaces are treasured.

Calli, my husband and I toured Trakoscan and the area in the summer of 2014. I thought the castle was a scaled down version of Neuschwanstein without the crowds and a prettier view from it. Gazing into the small lake below the castle I noticed a shoal of fish undulating about lazily.

We also visited the Veliki Tabor fortress nearby which was very well preserved and showed what Middle Ages life and war was like.

Coal miners help push tourists’ dead electric car (3 Sep)

Tucker County’s Senator Randy Smith documented the moment on Facebook. The car broke down right in front of the Mettiki Coal access road on US 48, which is several miles from Davis. “Someone called one of our foreman and told him a car was broke down in the middle of our haul road,” said Smith’s post.

Because the vehicle was plastic underneath, there was no way to tow it, so a group of miners decided to push it. “So here are 5 coal miners pushing a battery car to the coal mine to charge up.” You could even see mounds of coal in the background while the vehicle was charging. Smith said he was glad that the group of miners from his company was able to help out because they likely wouldn’t have been able to get a tow truck in a place that remote.

This story brings up an interesting aspect – EVs have to be light as possible, so are made of plastic. Owners with flat batteries are going to have fun when they try bootleg tows – they just might tear the front off their car if they hook up to the wrong bit of it.

NTZ has another German EV story today. I won’t do a summary as it’s stuff we know. Interesting to see it percolate into the brains of mainstream people though.

He babbles perpetually about political ideas that have more than a hint of fascism in them. He is happy with the concept of political street violence, but only by the pseudo-fascists whom he supports. He is quite happy to call for the suppression of political ideas with which he disagrees.

He is a menace, and, while he should not be silenced, as long as he propounds his foolish ideas here, they must be countered. Let him go back to his own blog, where he can talk to himself as much as, and for as long as, he wishes.

I can remember buying my first copy of the Economist because it had a cover article on the US housing bubble being a bit dodgy. Created by the Clinton admin compelling lenders to have a certain amount of house loans out to borrowers with no security and often no demonstrable means of making payments. Hidden by the euphemism “sub-prime”, the jingle-mail collapse was laundered as “Global Financial Crisis”, and in the melee Rudd got the memo to seize Australia for the WEF under corporations law.
Now Biden is shoveling money to the sub-productive again, and he must be demented to believe an economy can be built on a paper pile of decrees. The Thai Massage Man and his smokescreen summit will do the same, building a house of cards with residency visas and printed money.

Picture it: musket fired, bad guy killed in seconds, long stretches of swordplay gone from the movies. Result: no Hollywood profits.

Good guy misses with musket shot (no semi auto musket) gets skewered by bad guy with sword.

KD, mole etc.

I can’t even repost the Lady Pages on Medium because they’ve gone into overdrive.

I can’t keep up with the crazy.

The best one was a woman who was an unmarried, childless poet at 31 who was annoyed men in their fifties hit on her. Does she think she is in her prime child bearing years? Let me guess. Most men at 31 are not accomplished according to her. If she was a man, she’d be laughed at (“professional” “poet”).

Date an electrician love. The masters of the universe get the IG models.

Good men are out there, you think you’re better than them and it’s their fault.

All these older gents however, wanted was a “nurse and a purse”, apparently.

What’s she going to support them with? Her high paying career in poetry?

Then a strong BIPOC woman chimes in that male fertility is an “issue” after 35. Which is complete garbage because the data is conflated with their (usually) older wives/baby mommas.

The best one in the past two weeks was when Oxana Tepid Fart dropped the “I’m a Lady!” mask and said how disappointing his life as a male, fake female, man hating, creepy “female ally” was.

Imagine if a woman pretended to be a man and had a patreon etc to write inflammatory shit about women.

These people are totally delusional. No doubt they seethe and cope with Kate Upton and Justin Verlander being married (he is 39, she is 30). Oh no she baked him something and put a wholesome pic on IG, domestic abuse!

No Eyrie.

The game is to use their own narrative against them.

Masks are bad good double plus good bad.

Ivermectin is horse dewormer, except in the UK.

PCR testing found COVID dating back to March 2019 in Spain.

You don’t have to take a vaccine, except when you do.

I am never taking a Trumphitler vaxxx, oh god I am thankful for my fauci ouchies! Only racist orcs don’t want to six times vaccinated with the safest vaccines ever.

We better do what the super smart Chinese do, like live PCR tests on fish, the ocean is a super spreader. It was absolutely necessary to “lock down” society like a giant prison camp.

Inquest for Aboriginal teen shot by NT cop
Aaron BunchAAP
Mon, 5 September 2022 1:32AM
An inquest will allow Kumanjayi Walker’s family’s voices to be heard, a coroner has said.

An inquest into the death of an Indigenous teenager fatally shot by a Northern Territory police officer during an outback arrest gone wrong will try to find answers for his grieving family.

Warlpiri man Kumanjayi Walker, 19, died on November 9, 2019, after Constable Zachary Rolfe, 30, shot him three times in Yuendumu, 290km northwest of Alice Springs.

The inquest starting in Alice Springs Local Court on Monday will explore the actions of police before and after Mr Walker was killed and how his death has affected his community.

Const Rolfe was acquitted at trial in March of murdering the teen, igniting grief and anger in Yuendumu, with some community members decrying the justice system as racist.

Coroner Elisabeth Armitage has previously said the hearing would provide an opportunity for Mr Walker’s family’s voices to be heard and answers the trial didn’t.

She said it would also give the community a chance to express their sadness, concerns and hopes for the future.

“We will endeavour to not simply hear them, but understand them,” she told a directions hearing soon after Const Rolfe’s trial.

“In a fair and balanced way, we will seek to better understand what happened … and why it happened, with the goals of determining the truth and making recommendations that may assist in preventing future deaths in similar circumstances.”

Ms Armitage had planned to start the inquest at Yuendumu but the two-day sitting was cancelled last month amid rising tensions.

Counsel assisting Peggy Dwyer said the community was in a “state of high conflict” and members didn’t feel comfortable having outsiders, including journalists, spending time there.

The three-month hearing will also probe whether Mr Walker received adequate medical treatment after Const Rolfe fired three shots into his torso from close range as the pair and another officer scuffled inside the teen’s grandmother’s home.

Mr Walker had stabbed the officer in the moments before and threatened two other policemen with an axe three days earlier as he escaped being arrested and fled into the bush.

He died on the floor of the local police station about an hour after Const Rolfe’s second shot ripped through his spleen, lung, liver and a kidney.

Any of the bush lawyers here care to comment? is giving the community a chance to express their sadness, concerns and hopes for the future what an inquest is supposed to do?

Indeed, this article

https://expose-news.com/2022/09/01/siniser-reason-covid-vaccines-havent-been-updated/

(from the dreaded Expose) gave me a crucial insight into my question as to whether the real game was to:

1) physically get the jab into you or
2) use the vax programme as the excuse to set up the control infrastructure for something else (digital ID, economic reset, CBDC etc)

The answer was #1.

I would have missed that if I reflexively went for ‘junk site bad’.

What is the electronic equivalent of the ‘ad hominem’ attack?

In my opinion, obviously, Daily Exposé is all rubbish, the Conversation is mostly rubbish, but I expect people to use their own discretion.
I’m not going to not link to articles because Eyrie or anyone else says so (except that North Korean satire account on twitter because IT didn’t like it).
The conversation article hyperlinks back to other sources, either covid related deaths of US minorities are higher amongst the unvaccinated or they aren’t.
You can take away whatever you like.

He also had Steve from Brisbane and Homer piling on to him there, “correcting” his political errors. It seems that having his own side piling on to him for political incorrectness was too much for him to bear.

He is indeed stupid, but I am far more concerned for his own incipient fascism than history about Hitler.

Johanna, I now use MS Edge to post the daily ‘toons because my preferred browser, Brave (which I use the rest of the time), is not up to it.

Now, it’s personal peace of mind that I won’t get frequent error flags. Brave was invented to break the Big tech browser monopoly — noble, but no cigar because Microsoft was invented to make computers and browsers and it was so good at it that it became part of a monopoly.

MS stuff works because it was invented by sociopathic coding nerds like Bill Gates and, when it comes to the crunch, I use what works.

The answer was #1.

“And” seems more likely. The fertility stuff fits with the control stuff – both are right in the sweet spot of WEF climate crazy. As is the kid tranny encouragement and the lady pages weirdness Dot puts up. The Georgia Guidestones had a magic number 500,000,000 written on them. The same sorts of people as the businessman who is thought to’ve erected them are Davos attendees.

How about the grieving family look at themselves as to why that POS behaved in the manner he did for most of his life. Its not our fault we were on the piss all the time neglecting the little shit, just because he saw everyone around beating the crap out each other had nothing to do with it. Remember, no care no responsibility. Give us more money cause its your fault. Can I have half the money for the waste of time inquest. None of this will be mentioned in the final report except give us more money.

Hang on. I’m sure I was told time and again that the joint’s a prison. It may have been, but sure as shit not now – which should put paid to the ‘nazi pass vs purebloods’ sentiment.

Should.

Don’t tell Ken. He’ll have no reason to live.

There are so many things wrong with this idiocy.
In years past, I would not have had to point it out.

Firstly whoever is travelling now, all good, go for it….. if it doesn’t require showing a Nazi pass.
If you do show it anywhere to get the special privileges only given to the jabbed then….fuck you and the horse you rode in on.
Notafan’s behaviour over all of this has been inexcusable and disgusting.
As has many others.
Get it right, Knuckle fucker…..AT THE MOMENT you are ALLOWED to hop on a plane unjabbed.
The “ALLOWED” part is the key here, and this can be changed by decree in a millisecond because that was what the exercise was all about.
You may have to read that bit again, real freedom is something you and your Vicplod mates have no real concept of.
We, while the criminals in our parliament are above the law and outside of the constitution, are living in an undemocratic prison shithole and day release is not freedom.
