John Pilger: Silencing the Lambs. How Propaganda Works
In the 1970s, I met one of Hitler’s leading propagandists, Leni Riefenstahl, whose epic films glorified the N@zis. We happened to be staying at the same lodge in Kenya, where she was on a photography assignment, having escaped the fate of other friends of the F@hrer.
She told me that the ‘patriotic messages’ of her films were dependent not on ‘orders from above’ but on what she called the ‘submissive void’ of the German public.
Did that include the liberal, educated bourgeoisie? I asked. ‘Yes, especially them,’ she said.
I think of this as I look around at the propaganda now consuming Western societies.
Of course, we are very different from Germany in the 1930s. We live in information societies. We are globalists. We have never been more aware, more in touch, better connected.
Are we? Or do we live in a Media Society where brainwashing is insidious and relentless, and perception is filtered according to the needs and lies of state and corporate power?
The United States dominates the Western world’s media. All but one of the top ten media companies are based in North America. The internet and social media – Google, Twitter, Facebook – are mostly American owned and controlled.
In my lifetime, the United States has overthrown or attempted to overthrow more than 50 governments, mostly democracies. It has interfered in democratic elections in 30 countries. It has dropped bombs on the people of 30 countries, most of them poor and defenceless. It has attempted to murder the leaders of 50 countries. It has fought to suppress liberation movements in 20 countries.
The extent and scale of this carnage is largely unreported, unrecognized; and those responsible continue to dominate Anglo-American political life.
Last December, Russia proposed a far-reaching security plan for Europe. This was dismissed, derided or suppressed in the Western media. Who read its step-by-step proposals? On 24 February, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy threatened to develop nuclear weapons unless America armed and protected Ukraine. This was the final straw.
On the same day, Russia invaded – according to the Western media, an unprovoked act of congenital infamy. The history, the lies, the peace proposals, the solemn agreements on Donbass at Minsk counted for nothing.
On 25 April, the US Defence Secretary, General Lloyd Austin, flew into Kyiv and confirmed that America’s aim was to destroy the Russian Federation – the word he used was ‘weaken’. America had got the war it wanted, waged by an American bankrolled and armed proxy and expendable pawn.
Almost none of this was explained to Western audiences.
Russia’s invasion of Ukraine is wanton and inexcusable. It is a crime to invade a sovereign country. There are no ‘buts’ – except one.
When did the present war in Ukraine begin and who started it? According to the United Nations, between 2014 and this year, some 14,000 people have been killed in the Kyiv regime’s civil war on the Donbass. Many of the attacks were carried out by neo-N@zis.
I was wrong. Sky Outsiders is on now. Long live the king!
Quite … and that is going to be a significant barrier to moving forward – admitting that not only tears down a whole lot of other civilisational pillars, it also exposes you to the realisation that you yourself got something personally important irretrievably wrong. Most people will never be able to do that and will remain in denial.

Assuming you had what my American friends call a ‘Lap-Appy’ (keyhole surgery), the shoulder pain is likely referred pain from either a bit of blood or remnants of CO2 under your diaphragm. Unfortunately, like all things in medicine, there are 2 remedies 1) sit up (if its blood – to help it drain) or 2) Lie down, turned to the bad side (if its residual CO2 from the laparoscopy).

There will be yet another cause for him to latch onto shortly.

It’s (Almost) Always the Feds: How the FBI Fabricates Schemes To Entrap Would-Be Radicals
The FBI’s long history of using informants and manufactured plots to prosecute extremists
Here’s a tip: If you have some radical political views and an acquaintance reaches out, encourages you to act on your convictions, and maybe offers to introduce you to a guy who can sell you some bomb parts, don’t take him up on it. That guy’s almost definitely working for the feds.
For the past two decades, the FBI and federal prosecutors have brought case after case against would-be radicals who were ratted out by informants. They have been enormously successful in obtaining convictions in these cases, despite persistent criticisms that the FBI uses unscrupulous informants, conjures up the very plots it disrupts, and entraps defendants who have little to no ability to actually carry out a terror attack.
It looked like the case against the Michigan militia members who allegedly plotted to kidnap Democratic Gov. Gretchen Whitmer in October 2020 was going to be another data point in that trend: an extremist group riddled with FBI informants set up to take the fall for all their big talk. An unusual thing happened, though. The jury didn’t buy it. When the verdicts were read a year and a half later in March, two of the militia members were acquitted, and the jury deadlocked on the other two.
‘You Actually Had To Have Articulable Facts’
The sort of informant-led investigation that resulted in the arrests of the Wolverine Watchmen is largely due to the rollback of Watergate-era restrictions on the FBI following 9/11. The Whitmer case wasn’t just a poorly conceived investigation; it was the direct result of a strategic internal policy change that allowed the FBI to begin targeting people who had done nothing illegal in order to prosecute the war on terror.
‘There Are a Lot of People Who Are Understandably Very Concerned About Mr. Epps’
“Exactly how many of those present at the Capitol complex on January 6 were FBI confidential informants, agents, or otherwise, working directly or indirectly with an agency of the United States government?” Donald Trump asked at a January 15 rally in Arizona. “People want to hear this. How about the one guy, ‘Go in, go in, get in there, everybody,’ Epps. ‘Get in there, go, go, go.’ Nothing happens to him. What happened with him? Nothing happens.”
they know they are toast if Trump wins in 24

“I’m trying to think what the death of the Queen represents. People are saying it’s the end of an era, but what freaking era is that.
I think it marks the end of the post war era.”
Actually JC, I’ve been thinking about this for the last two days, ever since I heard the news on Friday morning. I believe Queen Elizabeth’s passing marks the official end of a moral world and in particular the end of a moral West. Maybe I’m being too maudlin but to me her death is a portent, akin to the sack of Rome.
We’ve seen the writing on the world over the last two decades, but her passing now confirms how much we live in a decadent and immoral West, a post-Christian West, a West that celebrates the obscene, the pagan, the promiscuous, the opposite of truth, the vulgar, the indecent, the tawdry, the obnoxious, the dissolute, the lewd and the self-indulgent. In contrast Queen Elizabeth (and her generation) stood for duty, sacrifice, service, fidelity, loyalty, patriotism, devotion, decency, stoicism, self-control, and discretion.
I was struck by all of this last night watching the broadcast from London of the proclamation of Charles as King Charles III. It was a dignified, historical and dutiful occasion, full of majestic pageantry that the Brits do so well yet, only two weeks ago, the same city played host to a festival called the Notting Hill festival, it is a festival of vulgarity, of lewdness, of promiscuity, of violence (particularly towards women…but that violence is okay, because it was largely perpetrated by men of Caribbean origin), of fetishes and of obscenity.

The surgeon came around, and wasn’t very specific with the cause but explained what you said. It’s referred pain. He said it should go in a few days tops.
Queen Elizabeth’s death is symbolic and will be used by historians to refer to a certain age in hindsight, but it doesn’t mean anything real in the present.

Why Did US Torpedo The April Ukraine War Negotiated Settlement?
Most Americans are unaware how close Russia and Ukraine came to ending the current war in April.
Last March 27, Ukraine president Zelensky told his people “Our goal is obvious – peace and the restoration of normal life in our native state as soon as possible.”
He was hinting at what went unsaid: Ukraine and Russia, brokered by NATO member Turkey, reached a tentative fifteen-point peace plan to end the month old war.
Key points were Russia withdraw from all Ukraine except for breakaway Donbas and Crimea. Ukraine would pass on future NATO membership, pledging neutrality between Russia and NATO. Donbas and Crimea would undergo political transition based on self-determination to be recognized by both combatants. Ukraine security would be guaranteed by neighboring countries but no foreign troops would enter Ukraine.
What’s not to like?
For the US weapons makers, the end to a weapons manufacturing boondoggle. That $60 billion in free weaponry to Ukraine fighters has depleted our ammo dumps.
For the US military, the end to a new perpetual war, albeit a proxy one, to relieve the boredom of peace.
For the political class, the end to the new Cold War with Russia to weaken, marginalize, and keep them from economic integration with Europe.
Meanwhile…
So on April 9, Uncle Sam sent Boris Johnson, the latest version of America’s British Prime Minister poodle, to Kiev, to school Zelensky on who’s running the war. The UK, Johnson advised “was in it for the long run,” would not be party to any Ukraine, Russian agreement since the “collective West” saw a chance to “press” Russia and make the most of it. Johnson cannot be accused of subtlety.
Two weeks later, the US sent Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin to Kyiv to reinforce Johnson’s warning and make clear the US and NATO were determined to use the war to “weaken” Russia. NATO ally Turkey has blamed the US and UK for sabotaging a promising chance to end the war early on.
When it comes to provoking, preventing and prolonging senseless war, America always fails the test of peace. Getting back to the question posed: Why did the US torpedo the April Ukraine war negotiated settlement?
Because we can.
And thus falleth all great empires – all we can do now is strap in and enjoy the ride.

. Former President lauds the late Queen’s ‘grace, charm, nobility… she was an icon to the world and her loss is felt by billions’
. She was beloved by the American People like few others – the Queen was truly special to us,’ he writes
.Gives a heartfelt account of ‘talking the whole evening’ and being with her ‘side-by-side’ during his state visit to the UK…memories he and Melania will ‘cherish for the rest of our lives’
. Says ‘she saw her country through the Blitz of London, the Cold War, the Falklands conflict, the coal miners’ strikes, Brexit, COVID, and so much more – she was always there for her people—resolute and unflappable’
. ‘Her Majesty missed nothing,’ he writes. ‘She always knew exactly what to say…’ revealing her answer to his intriguing question about Britain’s PMs
. As we grieve,’ he writes, ‘we are comforted that King Charles III will be a great and outstanding successor… Melania and I were blessed to get to know him well… he will be an inspiration to the British People’
. His generous tribute concludes: ‘She was Britain at its best. God bless the Queen. God bless her family. God bless the United Kingdom’

Stick to fantasy football, you have at least some chance of being correct there.
There was a recent poll from a couple of weeks back. 30% of those polled wanted the US to go fight Russia because of the Ukraine incident. Who are these people?
“Cassie, have you not been keeping up with the news? Putin’s invasion forces are Russian away from the front line quick sticks. It’s a bit of a rout.
The US decided to teach Putin a lesson, and the Russkies are getting it good and hard.”

As an insider, for a long time I would have agreed that private cover didnt really add a lot, unless you were ‘in the industry’ and had the ability to judge the qualities of the various specialists and self refer.
Now, having seen the terminal decline of the public system (which is a symptom of the terminal decline of the public themselves), I regard private cover as essential, whatever the cost. If you dont have it, enjoy your ‘all nighters’ at the local ER, surrounded by meth heads, morons and the morbidly obese – btw they WILL be sicker than you and you WILL have to wait for them.
PS …. the old Darwin adage ‘get a pain – get a plane’ is now true everywhere – if you need to get to hospital fast, take a taxi, do not wait for an ambulance that may take 40 minutes to come* and will then ramp you for 1 hours. As a walk up, at least you will be inside the doors when you collapse.
* I noticed this particularly in my last few years as a volunteer fireman (yes – man) in the Adelaide Hills – we went to quite a few serious crashes where no ambulance was seen for a half hour or more, and we were increasingly getting called to ‘first respond’ to collapses and cardiac cases due to no ambulance available.

Bear, just being hypothetical. Say one saw him on a golf course at the time the pic was taken and were so overcome with anger at the way he was attired and playing, you ran him over with a golf cart and killed him. Or you clubbed him to death out of sheer anger. As I lawyer, do you think you could reduce the sentence?

Cheaper, simpler and easier to brick him up in an unused fireplace.
Exactly.
Look. The Russians under Putin have farked it up. Just like WW One. All done by Christmas What idiots we we have as so called World Leaders.
Monty, I would be as happy as you if the corrupt, anti-democratic thug in Kiev managed to defeat the army of the corrupt old thug in Moscow, who’s trying to expand the Russian empire again.
But, as you know, there are two wars currently in progress – a battlefield hot war and a propaganda cold war.
If one of your Twitter parrots has tweeted that Putin is beating Zelenskyy, there’s a lag period of one to four weeks to elapse before claims on the battlefield are corroborated by political events in Moscow and Kiev.
If you are claiming that Putin has beaten Putin on the battlefield, it sounds to me you are setting yourself up make a fool of yourself, of which you have long track record here.
I can’t, because it isn’t wasn’t to be found. I wonder why?
BTW, that’s not negotiating, that’s back peddling.
Not having private health insurance is fine if your medical issue is life threatening but a different kettle of fish if you a trade apprentice being told you have to wait twelve months for a knee reconstruction.

Yes. Because the ‘Russian Defence Ministry’, in line with its values of openness and transparency, broadcasts its troop movements in the middle of a battle for the edification of lazy hypochondriac indoor rangas on the other side of the world.
Yes, I was referring to you.
I’m sure the Albanian told his backbench to STFU or they would have their throats slit. But yes, they’re being superficially respectful.
Superficially respectful is actually worse than saying how you really feel though. 🙂

Good catch. The idiot has more intellectual leaks than an incontinent on the booze.
duk – private health insurance is certainly good for getting to the front of the queue. Not sure how it stacks up on value against a lifetime of (genuine) self insuring allowing for a couple of knees and a hip. Both my hospitalisations have fallen into the catastrophic category so far. The degenerative stuff is yet to come.
Let’s just assume for a minute that it does exist (and I don’t believe it does), does this look like anything except a ‘no jump’ at the door?
Your refusal had nothing to do with Riccardo, his wife or his kids. What you did was what loud mouthed cowards allows do when called out. You reneged, and made excuses.
Who knows Riccardo’s offer was genuine?
It was, but does it matter?
But of course:

Oh, right. You’ve got to hand it to the good professor. It’s clear they’ve got at least three good grifts going simultaneously and is pitching a fourth.
Who knows Riccardo’s offer was genuine?
Regardless, I think it would have easily been crowd funded, if he wasn’t intent on bullshitting his way out of going.
Yes it does.
Glib online challenges happen all the time.
I got rid of the incidentals part of health insurance several years ago as it’s just not worth it and pay my own freight for dental. I just have hospital coverage. The other crap like physio – I don’t care.
They are well practised in lying.
Lol Yes!
People like Riccardo, and those of a similar background, don’t make glib online challenges. He would have paid up as offered.
Besides, if Monty thought it was glib, he could have called Riccardo out. Instead, he broke out in a cold sweat, started pissing his pants and vomiting lame excuses.
Glib online challenges happen all the time.
This was long running and a number put their hands up to fill any funding gap.
Unfortunately it seems the fat lying bullshit artist Ranga did some real research and decided that he didn’t want to die in Malmo.
Just as a reminder:
Your assuming allot based on minimal contact and comradeship, Mater.
Was the fat creep right about the UAP deregistering itself? Just wondering- haven’t seen anything else about it.
You have no idea of my history with Riccardo.
Anyone with a modicum of deductive reasoning might assume that it could be significant.

which has been largely driven by the meja- just look at the way US TV changed in 60 years- it actually used to be quite nice and fun- Petticoat Junction, the Beverly Hillbillies, F troop, Lassie. For decades, to use Cassie’s words, it’s been indecent, tawdry, obnoxious, dissolute, lewd and self-indulgent.
I have always thought the hospital system would work better with an element of user pays and a stronger role for the price mechanism. Need to stop short of a full US model of have and have nots.
The meja is evil- even more so than I thought possible just 5 years ago.
Wikipedia showed the UAP as being de registered a few days ago.
The nastiness of the left is very accurately captured in The History Man by Malcolm Bradbury with the destruction of Carmody. The other sociology students couldn’t believe Carmody was sincere when he wore a uni blazer and tie- with them everything was parody.
*provided* you can pay the cost of whatever is needed, ‘self insuring’ is always a cheaper option because you are just paying for the cost of the procedure, not the cost + their profit + their admin fee.
The problem however is that (in this country*) many providers wont accept ‘self insured’ – probably because they have been burned in the past.
* In contrast to, say Dubai, where we would deliver out own patients to either the American (1st choice), Canadian (2nd) or European hospital, and pass $15k USD across the counter to get the ball rolling.
Holy shitballs.

Thanks ZK2A- that was an exercise in the absurd. Still the guy I voted for got up- I wonder if he’s an independent now.
private health insurance is certainly good for getting to the front of the queue.
Isn’t that the main reason for paying it!
Again, until recently, I would have agreed that public hospitals are fine/better for acute life threats (trauma/MI) but increasingly they are not – more and more people are getting delayed at (or even outside – ramping) the ED when they need to be receiving definitive care. Many people have died in ramped ambulances.
I have not heard of anyone getting ramped at a private hospital, and many big city private EDs are good at managing Heart attacks and strokes.
Absolutely so my assumptions are based only what I’ve read. This not uncommon.
I’m not the enemy and I am familiar with consept of brother hood.
Ricky’s entire political history has been glib online challenges, interspersed with glib public speeches. He has accomplished exactly nothing, got no one elected, had no effect.
He thought he’d score a few debating points by making a bulltish offer of underfunding some contract work with terrible conditions. I expressed keenness to do it and pointed out how rubbish his initial offer was, and we started working out the details in a slightly more professional manner. Then he withdrew because his wife got sick.
Of course you lot view that process as being “oh you just squibbed it” when it was Ricky who withdrew, not me.

Of course, ‘insuring’ against relatively small, relatively predictable health costs like GP visits or physio makes about as much sense as insuring against your car needing fuel or servicing – you pay the cost of the service + their profit + their admin costs.
I only insure against catastrophes /.

He insists the UAP is still functioning and the deregistration is a purely administrative matter designed to reduce costs between elections. Very strange all-round.
He did not win it on a ‘technicality’. He won it because the seven justices of the HC unanimously found that there was a very real danger he was innocent given the evidence. A technicality would involve a procedural error, like a chain of custody error, or such like.
Besides, Monty, I remember the discussions well.
There were people lining up to contribute money to pay for your passage to paradise (Malmo). Riccardo’s offer was just the initiating one.
The only thing that stopped you going was you.
Not quite the best simile, Dover, since Jeremiah may’ve been incessant but was also correct.
Perhaps Krugmaniad or Goreiad would be better. 😀

At the time I said it, he was indeed a convicted and gaoled rock spider according to the law. But then his appeal won (on a technicality), and now he is not.
The technicality was, there was no evidence, something the Victorian SC had concocted a ridiculous legal fiction to avoid acknowledging.

At the time I said it, he was indeed a convicted and gaoled rock spider according to the law. But then his appeal won (on a technicality), and now he is not. Not hard to understand, Cassie.
The “technicality” being that it was physically impossible for the events to have occurred. Minor detail?
And still no apology for making the assertion, and never actually withdrawing it? Gutless worm (sorry to worms for the association).
Naa, ya think?
There’s repetition and monotonously boring repetition. Where do you think his is on a scale of one to ten? 38?
That’s a nice cop-out on a technicality. 🙂 It’s “jeremiadathon” most of the freaking day. I think he’s “jeremiading” even in-between shifts at Bakers Delight.

I can’t, because it isn’t wasn’t to be found. I wonder why?
Look harder, it’s there.
Then an IT eggspurt like you can find it, and link to it.
As I said last night, this is undoubtedly a big win for UKR. They reclaimed a significant area and important towns, and the morale boost will be immense. But its still unclear what this will mean overall. It looks like the areas reclaimed were only lightly defended by RUS forces so the gaining of territory isn’t accompanied by a significant mauling of RUS forces overall because they had largely been pulled out over the last few weeks. Whether that’s because of the UKR counteroffensive in Kherson or because of RUS offensive operations in Donetsk, combination of the two, we just don’t know. Will be interesting to see if UKR can exploit this success in the next few weeks or whether this is the full extent of the advance or somewhere inbetween.
Well, yes.
But second hand from someone who has a stronger stomach than me and actually reads the Furniture Store.
That comment was made in response to Ricky’s offer, which was basically to cover expenses and not pay me for doing actual professional work for him. I was not going to do it for the pure adventure. I’m not a grifter living on donations and a military pension like Ricky. I have mouths to feed, if he thought he didn’t need to pay me for real-life work then he had to change his tune.
How stupid is Elbow?! I see he is already talking about referendum on at republic .
I posted two weeks ago approximately, the story of my new relationship with a grieving widower and now writing a book about all of our the problems associated with it . So I am researching all I can on the subject .
It has been for Melburnians particularly, a year of losses loss of freedom, loss of businesses , loss of school and socialising, loss of work and probably loss of relationships and now a threat of loss of homes. ,
Loss and Grief have been suffered by many and Ithink the Queen’s death is going to have a greater impact on grievers . More Than we can ever imagine. especially those who lost family and friends during lockdown . Elbow has Buckleys .

m0nty, that “legal technicality” (lol) is a bedrock principle of a fair trial.
The fact is the High Court said no jury could reasonably convict – that goes back to the trial itself, and meant the appeal court should have over-turned the verdict.
That is not a legal technicality.
That is justice finding that a grevious injustice had occurred.

Why even have juries, obviously judges are the final word on these matters. Better to have begowned beaks in powdered wigs decide everything on our behalf, not leave it to the riff raff and unwashed masses.
LOL. Read the actual article and look at what they are calling a ‘technicality’:
Pretending that this is a ‘technicality’ is absurd but I can see what they are doing here; namely, providing a reference for halfwits that want to maintain guilt in the face of the paucity of the evidence.

How George Pell won in the High Court on a legal technicality
This High Court appeal
ROFLMAO. To “prove” his point about a legal technicality, m0nty-fa links to The (one-sided) Conversation, part of the “Get Pell” gang that pursued an innocent man for years, and got him jailed on a legal fiction for 14 months. And has never admitted to error.
Serious question Mater.
Did he show signs earlier of the potential to go off reservation?
Or is this just a sudden, recent thing?
The exoneration occurred on the basis of what the HCA noted several times as the incontrovertible exculpatory evidence of ‘honest witnesses’ vis a vis the original allegations which the HCA noted as having been fabrications. Now it so happened that the exculpatory evidence was sufficient to indicate that there was every possibility that an innocent person had been convicted. As for the fabrications, they were and are left to speak for themselves.

Hard to believe one of the authors of that tendentious piece is a professor of law. I think his particular interest in child abuse has clouded his thinking on the matter under discussion.
Bear, don’t live under the misapprehension that the US model is based on some user pays capitalist model.

A few things to know before stealing my 914
Dear Thief,
Welcome to my Porsche 914. I imagine that at this point (having found the door unlocked) your intention is to steal my car. Don’t be encouraged by this; the tumblers sheared off in 1978. I would have locked it up if I could, so don’t think you’re too clever or that I’m too lazy. However, now that you’re in the car, there are a few things you’re going to need to know. First, the battery is disconnected, so slide-hammering my ignition switch is not your first step. I leave the battery disconnected, not to foil hoodlums such as yourself, but because there is a mysterious current drain from the 40-year-old German wiring harness that I can’t locate and/or fix. So, connect the battery first. Good luck finding the engine cover release. Or the engine, for that matter.
Now, you can skip your slide hammer. The ignition switch’s tumblers are so worn that any flat-bladed screwdriver or pair of scissors will do. Don’t tell anyone.
Once you’ve figured that out and try to start the car, you’ll run into some trouble.

How George Pell won in the High Court on a legal technicality
Poor old m0nty. Once again he posts something without having read it, only to find that despite the dishonest headline it actually totally contradicts his assertion.
From m0nty’s link:
Jury decisions cannot be undermined without exceptional circumstances. Pell had to show more than the jury “might have” had a reasonable doubt. He had to show the evidence “precluded” a guilty verdict.
Correct. The evidence was found to “preclude” a guilty verdict.
Poor old m0nty. He’s a self-beclownment MACHINE!
It’s hard to know because I don’t read them in full or at all.
How George Pell won in the High Court on a legal technicality
This High Court appeal did not ask whether Pell committed the offences. It asked whether the two majority judges in the Victorian Court of Appeal, in dismissing Pell’s earlier appeal, made an error about the nature of the correct legal principles, or their application.
Dickless resorts to The Conversation. In dickless’s mind Pell is still guilty. That’s the point. The left is never wrong. The HC concluded this:
“a significant possibility that an innocent person has been convicted because the evidence did not establish guilt to the requisite standard of proof”
The standard of criminal proof not being met is not a technicality.
With all due respect Sancho, it’s not really a serious question. If you are wanting me to slag off Riccardo, I won’t, but I will give you a serious answer.
After recent events, the reservation got a whole lot smaller. Not hard to go off it. Most who don’t blindly bungle along compliantly, are generally considered “off reservation”.
A number of my acquaintances would tell you that the last 28 months have sent me “off reservation”, too. They are the types who think I should have been held down and forcibly injected.
Sticking to some fundamental principles is unusual nowadays, and is not particularly popular with those who have trivialised them to point of being bloody scary.
I wouldn’t have gone the same track as Riccardo, but we all dealt with it, and resisted it, in our own way.
Was there early signs of him doing something that wouldn’t be popular? Sure. He’s a man of belief and commitment, and not one to sit idly by. His appearances on the ABC well before Covid were clear clues.
Why even run the case in the first place. Witness testimonies in rape cases are obviously worth nothing. That’s the real legacy of this decision.
Once the intellectual veneer of Marxist theory is stripped away, the leftist worldview is revealed as essentially a regression to tribalism.
Then rely on our word.
Dover, let’s not have Twitter rules which are basically capricious. Stuthid is miles worse than Bird if you take out the anti-Semitism. In fact, if you remove the anti-Semitic stuff, Bird can be (not is, but can be) miles more interesting than the van canary. Yet Bird gets the size 10 and Stuthid remains. Unfair I think.
Moreover, sure anti-Semitism has much more serious connotations than throwing around other racist comments like wog etc. But perhaps you could say moderate Birdian commentary and also moderate sthuthid when say, he gets to 48 comments in a day criticising Rosie’s decision to get the jab.
Again, it’s your blog and you can do what you like. I’m just making a suggestion unlike someone else, who thought s/he owned your blog. I’m just keeping it real.
It effectively did.
Submissions were made that the timelines put forward by the prosecution regarding the alleged offending.
You might recall Mzzz Judd, DPP, asked if she could amend the original timeline which would make the offending “possible”.
The bench said “No”.
And, in doing so said “possible” falls a long way short of “beyond reasonable doubt”.
The Full Bench found (7-Zip) that “it was not open to a jury to reach a guilty verdict”.
They effectively said the alleged offending was not possible, based on the evidence.
I know the best narrative their ABC could come up with was “technicality”, but this was no mere failure to file by the due date on the correct form.
It was a slam-dunk, emphatic, Not Guilty!
…

Stuthid is more annoying than USSR and that world competition level.
