The Laydee Pages. Friend of a former school principal. The premise of this article is bewildering.

“Women talk about real things, not objects. Also a woman can be unhappy and leave a marriage if she moves for her husbands career (and regrets it) and cannot buy as many objects with her lower (?) salary*).

https://medium.com/hello-love/cold-harsh-truths-women-only-realize-after-getting-married-a7b918bb09a7

*Where do principals go after school? Bureaucracy or academia? Unless the position is equivalent to an SES band position, you won’t get paid more and no one is entitled to such a salary; very few principals ever make the leap anyway!

Latest invoice from the carriers = freight on a carton of beer is $15.39
That’s for regular stubbies, if the beer is Corona (a fancy imported beer) $20.00 per case.
In news that will please Winston should he visit, the freight on a 30-pack of XXXX heavy = $13.34

Yee hah! I’m down to my third last carton, order me a pallet, please.

Dot:

No one wants to take on adoption.

Generally we were afraid of being adopted. Adoption was an unknown whereas the Childrens Home was known to us.
One of the girls threatened self harm when a member of the Board wanted to adopt her. An upstanding Pillar of the Community who had the odd inclination of smacking 15 year old girls bare bottoms when they were naughty.
Adoption is a lottery and sometimes there’s no winners. Best to go with known family if available.

‘Latrell Mitchell has hit out at Roosters fans who relentlessly booed him last Friday, reminding spectators Sydney Swans legend Adam Goodes retired early after he was constantly abused from the stands.
The South Sydney superstar won two premierships when he was at the Roosters but was booed every time he touched the ball, with supporters taking great pleasure when he was sent to the sin bin late in the game. ‘

Cyril Rioli was cheered by opposing teams fans on some occasions.

Myer Briggs is overrated.

Yep, we did Myer Briggs. We did Hay points. We did bonding exercises at weekends away. We did all the corporate fads. Eleven days of SAP training just about caused a revolt, there’s a limit. But we did that too. They wouldn’t buy MS Project, we had to do gantt charts using SAP, which in the nineties was like gnawing your arm off. Germans, sheesh.

Then a recession came and swept all that shit out the door. We tripled our productivity overnight…

Iirc I was INTP. Dunno about the Hay point rating, it was half-arsed and never went anywhere anyway. The company eventually went bankrupt.

For Cats interested in things military, the US is adopting a new military cartridge to supplement the 5.56/.223, and if we run true to form it’s possible we will follow. The cartridge is the 6.8 x 51, which looks a bit like the old 7.62/.308 necked down to 6.8mm, or .270. It runs ginormous pressures (c. 80 000 psi) to push a 135gr projjie at 3000 fps. Recoil is ferocious, but is tamed somewhat by an inbuilt suppressor on the proposed rifle. To handle the pressures, the cartridge case is a composite of a steel base, an aluminium “joining washer” and a brass body.

Anyway, there’s more about it here. Looks a lot like reinventing the wheel to me.

Here’s a video looking at it.

As Jacinta observes for every 3rd nations punk who gets put in jail there are 35 aboriginal women who are beaten, raped or murdered by the same punks. No one talks about them. Does that justify what this skank did; no. She should be punished. But at 15, already having dropped one sprog (which legally can’t have been from a consensual relationship) you have to feel sorry for her. But for me this is just more grist for the mill: and every leftie activist sprouting racism are the real villains.

Ley calls for answers over ministerial code breaches
Sam King
SAM KING

Deputy Liberal leader Sussan Ley has called for answers from Anthony Albanese after at least three Labor ministers were found to be in breach of his ministerial code of conduct.

The code dictates that ministers cannot hold shares in public or private companies, which left Kirsty McBain, Tim Ayres and Bill Shorten scrambling to sell off assets last week.

Ms Ley said she wanted to see consequences for ministers who are in breach of the Prime Minister’s code.

“It’s his code, he talked it up. What are the consequences for breaching his ministerial code?” she told Sky News.

“This is being ignored by the Prime Minister, it’s being dismissed by him.

“He talked up integrity, transparency and doing things differently. It’s not good enough to then allow ministers to self-assess their compliance with a code they appear not to have read properly or understood properly.”

I thought it was only the “Top End of Town” that had share portfolios?

Surprisingly Americans have more Brains than Australians!

Poll: Three in Ten Americans Did Not Get a Coronavirus Vaccine

Three in ten Americans did not receive any vaccine for the Chinese coronavirus, despite the government’s coercive efforts and attempts at enforcing mandates and restrictions, a poll from The Economist/YouGov found.

The survey asked respondents to indicate which statement describes them best.

While a majority, 71 percent, indicated that they have received “at least one shot of ANY manufacturers COVID-19 vaccine,” three in ten, 29 percent, said they have not.

The figure is highest among independents, 39 percent of whom said they have not received any coronavirus vaccine. Another 35 percent of Republicans indicated that they have not received a vaccine either, and 14 percent of Democrats said the same.

Trump voters are far less likely to say they received a coronavirus vaccine as well, as 34 percent said they did not, compared to 91 percent of 2020 Biden voters who said they did get at least one jab.

The survey was taken August 28-30, 2022, among 1,500 U.S. adult citizens and comes as some across the country are on their fourth shot.

After months of controversy, it is a well-established fact now that the vaccines themselves do not actually stop the transmission of the virus — a claim President Joe Biden made over the course of the pandemic.

During a CNN town hall in July 2021, Biden spread misinformation, stating that vaccinated individuals would not get the virus:

UK’s cigar-loving health secretary admits ‘I’m not a role model’

Therese Coffey acknowledged her appointment may put off people concerned about her lifestyle choices

Therese Coffey conceded that there was some validity in criticisms of her appointment as Britain’s new secretary of state for health and social care. She is known for having some unhealthy habits in her personal life.

The issue came up on Wednesday in an interview with the radio station LBC. Host Nick Ferrari quizzed the new secretary about her well-documented fondness for cigars and alcohol and suggested jokingly that both of them “could do with losing a pound or two.”

“My focus is on how we deliver for patients. And I appreciate I may not be the role model,” Coffey said, adding that “Chief Medical Officer [Chris Whitty] and others, I am sure, will continue being role models in that regard.”

“I’ve been a patient in the [National Health Services] too. I’ve had some brilliant experiences and I’ve had some experiences that could have been better,” she continued on a more serious note. Improving the healthcare system will be the focus of her work in the cabinet of Prime Minister Liz Truss, she pledged.

Washington Post Jumps Back onto the Foreign Nation Nuclear Secrets Angle to Mar-a-Lago Documents

September 7, 2022 | Sundance

The Washington Post goes back to the prior narrative surrounding the Mar-a-Lago documents saying, “a document describing a foreign government’s military defenses, including its nuclear capabilities was found by FBI agents who searched former president Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago residence and private club last month.”…. with Devlin Barrett adding the usual, “according to people familiar with the matter” sourcing.

Keeping in mind the traditional relationship that exists between specific media outlets and their deep state sources, the most obvious source for Devlin Barrett is the DOJ National Security Division (DOJ-NSD), FBI Counterintelligence division, or larger intelligence community (IC). However, what is also obvious from the way the documents are described is a narrative framework to make the innocuous seem looming.

I would be willing to bet the “document” in question is a letter from North Korean Chairman Kim Jong-Un to President Trump about the status of the DPRK military intent and weapons. You might remember Chairman Kim and President Trump developed a good relationship and exchanged letters related to matters of national security between North Korea and the United States.

The Intelligence Community in combination with the U.S. military industrial complex and Senate Foreign Relations Committee, did not like that level of direct diplomatic contact and discussion between President Trump and Chairman Kim. Direct communication between the two leaders subverted the IC’s ability to shape the DPRK messaging to support an interventionist and hostile U.S. geopolitical outlook.

The professional bureaucrats in charge of guiding and shaping all United States foreign engagements do not like being cut out of the geopolitical equations. As the former head of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chuck Schumer famously said, “the intelligence community has six ways to Sunday to get back at you” if the President does not adhere and acquiesce to their power and authorities

Chairman Kim and President Trump discussing how to get along is not in the interests of the people who run the U.S. government. Therefore, any documents or letters of correspondence that Kim and Trump may have exchanged are now “vital national security documents.”

Again, if you subtract the narrative engineering and read between the lines of the claims, that type of document exchange is almost certain to be what this is all about.

Just got in to Sarajevo and visited the “tunnel” by the airport.

Plenty of evidence of the conflict, including the bullet holes in buildings (reminiscent of the Belfast Post Office). I’m still processing what it might have been like to live in a besieged city with only a narrow way out.

On the MBTI, it doesn’t tell you what kind of person you are, just how you interact and process information. There are many other tools for assessing these things. Mine was done about thirty years ago. And, of course, there are sliding scales on the four indicators, so what starts as 16 could really run into the many thousands, and then you add in your unique characteristics.

As for Matrix also being wedded to the “rarest of the rare”, perhaps he and the Beloved can get together for a therapy session. We’ll know what they’re talking about anyway.

Stalls oozing with baklava, Turkish delight, coffee in tiny cups. Every type of goods, including “genuine” Rolex watches, gold and silver, leatherware, ceramics. Dinner was meat on a tiny sword surrounded by sauces and salad. Vegan hell. We found a restaurant which sold alcohol, a rarity in this city.

As we strolled back to the hotel, the call to prayer rang out through the crowded streets. No one seemed to miss a beat. It sounded very strange and exotic.

How California went batshit crazy – twice – with its electricity supply.

The two electricity crises had different superficial causes but the fundamental problem in both cases was the same.

“I presume this virtue signalling halfwit understands how textiles and the dyes to colour them are made.”

Apparently Mrs Bandt lives in Melbourne. So how did Mrs Bandt get to Canberra to attend the very bourgeois midwinter ball. Did she walk? Did she ride a bicycle? Did she ride a horse? Did she get a train. If she didn’t do any of these….she’s a carbon hypocrite….a carbon criminal.

You see, ladies and gentlemen, our resident progressive Green scum and their acolytes in the Teals and Labor left aren’t Marxists. Marx, Stalin, Mao and Lenin etc are no doubt laughing their heads off at this brain dead attention seeker and her ilk. True revolutionaries wouldn’t be seen dead as such an event. This is what leftism is now, an inner-city parasite goes to a ball with her pipsqueak of a partner, wearing a dress emblazoned with the words “coal kills” and “gas bills”. What a frigging joke, except the joke is on ordinary men and women. This parasite is missing a word on her ugly frock….it should be “no coal kills”…..”no gas kills”. Because that’s what gonna happen in Europe in a few months. But our modern day bourgeois revolutionaries like Mrs Bandt don’t give a toss about the proletariat, they can starve and freeze to death.

Oh and there’s a picture of Hanson-Dung at the same ball. She’s wearing another ideologically emblazoned “coal kills” frock. I now know why Hanson-Dung likes whale watching. Her bum is the size of a southern ocean blue whale. It must comfort her to see other life forms that are the same size as her.

Bio Clandestine substack

HOLY SHIT…

The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), the UN International Nuclear Watchdog, just finished a report, pertaining to an ongoing investigation into Iran’s nuclear weapons stockpile. They just confirmed that it is GROWING.¹
What does this mean? It means that even though Obama gave Iran $150+ BILLION taxpayer dollars to NOT make Nuclear weapons, they did it anyways. Anons knew this already, but why are the IAEA in Iran NOW? Why are they probing Iran’s nuclear weapons NOW? Iran Deal in the US news cycle? Mar-a-Lago Docs about Iran Deal?

There MUST be a connection between the IAEA investigation in Iran, and the FBI raid on Mar-a-Lago. Trump confirmed to us that the docs in question were about the Iran Deal. The dates on the photos confirm it’s about the Iran Deal. And coincidentally the U.N. International Nuclear watchdog was conducting an investigation on Iran’s Nuclear production at the same time the FBI needed Trump’s private documents pertaining to Obama’s Iran Deal… something is up.

Folks… the FBI raid is significantly bigger than America, or Trump getting indicted for improper storage of documents he already declassified… This is a global nuclear situation… and like I’ve been saying for weeks, it’s about OBAMA!

I’m not sure if the FBI are cooperating with the UN to try and take down Trump, or if they are trying to take down Obama, or if they are trying to cover their own asses before the IAEA finds out about Obama’s Deep State slush fund via the Iran Deal. No clue. But it’s not a coincidence that Obama’s 2015 Iran Deal is at the epicenter of an ongoing International investigation from the highest diplomatic body on the planet, as well as being the source material of the Presidential documents stolen from Mar-a-Lago.

In conclusion, the UN are investigating Iran’s nuclear production, specifically the 2015 Iran Nuclear Deal, which will lead them to skeletons in Obama’s closet. Is Obama under International Nuclear investigation?

I’m not sure as to who’s side the IAEA (UN) are on in this situation. As by concluding that Iran’s nuclear stockpile has grown, they are indirectly admonishing Obama, and the failure of the Iran Nuclear Deal.

Still way too many pieces missing from the puzzle, but I think this has to do with a lot more than just the FBI. This has to do with an INTERNATIONAL INVESTIGATION!

Vancouver’s New Virtue Signalling Fire Engine–Useless, But At Least It Won’t Wake The Neighbours Up! (7 Sep)

Vancouver is giddy about being the first city in the country to receive an all-electric fire truck.

the new e-truck will cost $300,000 more than a comparable diesel model, pump 40 per cent less water and have such a short range (30 km) because of its enormous weight that it will have to have backup diesel power in case it runs out of juice on the way to a blaze.

But, the city points out, it won’t give off diesel fumes and will be much quieter than existing diesel fire trucks.

And hours to charge after every call out, so you’d need many more of them and you’d have to rebuild the fire stations to accommodate the extra ones as they’re sitting there charging.

A ginormous fire truck battery also would be more prone to catching fire than a electric car. Good luck putting out a firey electric fire truck.

Special Master Granted

From Martin Armstrong –

“A federal judge on Monday agreed to appoint a special master to review records seized by the FBI during its search of former President Donald Trump’s Florida estate, a move that is likely to delay the Justice Department’s criminal investigation. U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon in West Palm Beach, Florida, granted Trump’s request for a special master. This was an important ruling because it interjects an independent third party who is ABSOLUTELY needed in this case. She states that the review materials could be covered by the attorney-client privilege. (her ruling).

However, some are posting that the Democrats lost and this means they will not be able to indict Trump. That is true from the standpoint of federally prior to the election. However, I do not believe was ever the risk. To indict, they would have to submit evidence to a Grand Jury. I don’t think that was likely before the election without fake charges. The RISK of an indictment for political purposes will be for taxes in New York and election issues in Georgia. Both are launched by Democrats.”

And touching on near the point of cliches – something which really ought to be recognised as one – is the television depiction of greenies as idealistic selfless heroic types, too pure but nevertheless trying at great risk to themselves to save us and the Earth from the destruction wrought by greedy businesses in their pack-like pursuit of short-sighted, momentary material gains.

First they are typically ignorant. But they are happy that way because it enables their next trait – they lie. They lie as big as they can. They distort science (or retail it to each other ready-distorted), they make absurd press releases, they lie about their enemies, painting them as infernal demons seeking to bring down the sunlit world above. The seek the most intellectually vulnerable most desirous to please adults, that is children, and fill their heads with frightening visions and fan hatred of their own enemies.

And far from being a small but brave ragtag band of pacifists standing in the way of the capitalistic juggernaut, they draw funds from myriad sources, are spared from any sort of oversight, and unlike the businesses they attack are bound by no laws. They trespass, they damage property, instigate violence, they spit, they scratch, they hurl objects at any police who try to get in their way. They love being hauled off to paddy wagons because it is good press and they know they will be out in the morning. And if there is an agreement between a company and a community for a project, they will wing their way in from all over the continent to stall it.

And idealistic? Not the word I would use. They don’t have a pure image of the world in mind, they have theirs. Set in stone, impervious to learning or experience. And this image is something they demand be imposed upon other people. They do not believe other people have any business saying no. They must comply.

They are the best indicator of whether something is good – they will be trying to destroy it.

Any thoughts on the anti-gravity properties of clouds?

Oho.

It’s something bigger than all of us.

we need government to protect us from…

i raise this issue because i think it’s time that the great american center woke up to just how broken, predatory, and corrupt this has become.

government is indeed about protecting interests.

it’s just not about protecting yours.

rather than serving the people and securing the so called “blessings of liberty” in their name, it serves itself and its own and the bigger and more technocratic a state becomes, the more this shall be so.

it has been on surreal display these last 3 years and bizarre illogic and privilege of it has reached the point where, all over the world, people got a truly good gander behind the curtain and are starting to ask real questions about all these agents and agencies. this sort of thinking has vaulted into the mainstream. and we need to nurture this. this is the time when we demand rollback.

it’s obvious both that the state serves ends other than ours and how entitled it has become about such pursuits.

it’s also obvious that the rot has become completely systemic and damn near fractal: it exists everywhere at all scales. and none of the malfeasants ever seem to go away.

We are 22% of the way through September and the Daily Exposé only has 17% of the money it needs to keep operating.
This is the gold standard in “closing down sales” which Persian rug salesmen could only dream about.
