Okay, work that view into your positions on Rosie and Liz. Both have defended themselves with equal aplomb, yet you’ve chosen to ignore Rosie’s position vs Liz. And please don’t even pretend the attacks on Liz have been less belligerent than that Queensland redneck’s and the way he went after her. There’s no comparison. And as for disrupting a thread… Struphid isn’t?

What a stupid comment.
JC, there is certainly some agenda there and that one sounds reasonable. I just found that letter of his to be BS and hypocritical. This line for instance:
Most stakeholders? How the hell does he know? He knows what pressure groups tell him and at best is basing his shtick on that.
Two of his major holdings are Exxon and Chevron and they certainly aren’t getting out of the fossil fuel business, no matter what their PR depts might say.
Are you claiming to be a regular responder to Struth, bespoke?
Drivers warned EV charging will be 98% more difficult in 2031 than it is today
Within the next 10 years, the ratio of electric vehicles will get worse rather than better, according to a new report released by GoCompare. The study also revealed the best and the worst places to own an EV in the next 10 years.
Experts believe that the number of electric cars will almost double in the near future, but the charging network will not be able to follow suit.
The news comes despite the 2030 ban on new petrol and diesel car sales looming ever closer.
Last year, there were 266 electric vehicles (EVs) to each public charger in the UK, but the insurance comparison site says this will rise to 527 cars per charger by 2031.
This means that charger availability will be almost half of what it was in 2021.
The main reason for this is the fact that the rate of new charger installations won’t be fast enough to keep up with the uptake of EVs over the next decade.
Despite more charger installations, the number of EVs purchased will outweigh the rate new charging units are fit.
The search for a charger could be particularly difficult in some parts of south England.
Luton, for example, will have only one charger available for every 10,956 cars – the worst projected ratio of EVs per rapid charger in the UK.
A major reason why charger availability is likely to be so low is that the uptake of EVs is set to soar over the next 10 years.
The number of registered EVs in the UK will skyrocket to 7.9 million by 2031 – a 509 percent increase from 2021.
This is almost twice as many as GoCompare’s initial prediction. Last year, the comparison site estimated that the 2031 figure would be just 3.8 million, but now that more accurate data is available, it has found that demand is rising more rapidly than first thought.
“They refuse to comply because this normally works – not many people can quickly marshal up a legal team that can go toe-to-toe with the demonic hosts that large media networks can conjure up from chthonic realms. Add to this that j’ismists are a particularly poisonous and vindictive breed of hydra with multiple heads in Twatter, fakebook, new stories where they can repeatedly bring up the old claim and phrase it as if any judgement in their favour really addresses the substance of the accusation etc.”
Quite so ML. Just look at what Nine has done with BRS. Also, this is why Craig McLachlan spectacularly dropped his defamation case against Nine earlier this year. These media outlets pull out everything to destroy a person’s character and livelihood, they have very deep pockets. I’m very glad Laming pursued this. He’s done us all a favour.

I believe it’s a fair call to defend your comments when someone quotes them, particularly if they have been truncated or distorted.
Sometimes it’s just a matter of clarification, but many times it’s just pure trolling. When it goes ad hominem, that’s different.

I’m sitting in the breakfast room overlooking Split. Off in an hour to view the Roman ruins and other delights of the second largest city in Croatia.
We ate so much food, and drank so much wine at an Agritourismo yesterday that we went without dinner. Boy, can those Croatians eat!
This morning I have tried the “black pig”, a type of gamey prosciutto. Yikes, is it strong! The Beloved foolishly picked up a couple of snags – turned out to be black pudding. He manfully ate a few bites then gave up. I bet he tries the haggis when we finally get to Scotland.

Just thinking it out loud (well, in type), these texts of Zach Rolfe.
Presumably these texts will be meant to establish that he is raaaacist and therefore his raaaacism infects how he conducted himself as a police officer.
But, in that case, just present evidence of these raaaaacist actions as a police officer.
What if he really had gripes with Aborigines, but it never affected his work and he, in his duties, conducted himself properly and professionally? How could they matter if he does not have a history of targeting Aborigines?
I am not Zach. I have no insight into his mind or heart. But I would posit the possibility he has had run ins with violent miscreants before, in the course of which he may have been injured even if not to the point of it being debilitating – but bloody hurt. Especially if he has to bottle up his anger to maintain professional composure. Well, that energy has to go somewhere, and if he fritters it away in texts rather than storing it up for a heart attack or a psychotic break, then fine.
Everyone has a store of jokes that are ‘inappropriate’, but they have a role. Some might be to add a roguish veneer when hanging out with the lads, some might be about ridiculing a particularly annoying person by playing on a stereotype (like SHY and hysterical women, or Uber drivers and the unscrupulous business ethics of Indians – or the lazy entitlement of white Australians – shit, where to start there? Postcodes that start with ‘2’?) – and maybe to vent after yet another drug-fucked hoodlum scores a (luckily) glancing blow to your skull with a crowbar while screaming that you are a ‘white cunt’.
Only a lefty, or a grub lawyer, would think every passing thought is done under oath.

Kamala Harris On NBC: We’re Only A Legitimate Democracy If Democrats Are In Power
There is no logical end to Kamala and every other Democrat leader’s thought process other than: Only we can run things legitimately.
Democrats and their fangirls in the national media pretend they have this thoughtful, nuanced view about where the country is right now, but it really boils down to: None of America’s institutions or political processes are lawful nor legitimate unless we’re the ones controlling them.
Elections, Supreme Court decisions, legislation signed into law, “norms,” etc. All of it holds meaning so dear to their hearts.*
Except when Republicans are in power, in which case it’s all fraudulent.
That dynamic was reinforced in virtually everything Vice President Kamala Harris said during an interview that aired Sunday with NBC’s Chuck Todd. She said the Senate filibuster rule should be discarded for Democrat priorities, but believed it should be maintained for everything else. Roll the tape…
Just put a blue check or better still a pink petal next to the untouchables names.
Guys, you have to listen to this creep to believe it! It’s pure, unadulterated socialism.
Someone here could link to the broadcast later on and fisk it. It’s a barefaced disgrace.

Rising yuan-ruble trade for oil a threat to dollar dominance and next step towards internationalizing China’s currency.
Earlier this year (February?) Dover kindly posted an article I wrote named ‘ The Putin Gambit – Part 2’. That post examined the financial fortifications Russia had been making since 2014. In part I wrote: “This currency shift partly stems from agreement between Russia and China where the two countries agreed an initial currency swap deal worth 150 billion yuan ($24.5 billion) back in 2014. The deal has been substantially extended and rejigged but it now allows each country’s central bank to gain access to the other’s currency (in addition to some other currencies) without trading via the US dollar.
Then in 2016 the Russian alternative to the SWIFT financial transfer scheme arrived. Named the System for Transfer of Financial Messages (SPFS) it is similar to SWIFT in terms of technology and infrastructure. Undoubtedly a minnow by comparison to SWIFT but that isn’t the point. Russia’s banks are all connected and if Russia is cut off from SWIFT, they will transition to the intra- and interbank messaging which now includes the Chinese banks and those of a few other countries.
Further, Russian banks are all well advanced with introducing blockchain and using it in international payments and have been doing so since 2017.
Which brings us to international trade……..”
At first pass it may be befuddling why the western intelligence services didn’t connect the dots since 2014. Arrogance? Asleep at the wheel? Russia and China were becoming chummier and chummier and it wasn’t as if China had been a solid pro-western asset (Uyghurs, South & East China Seas, Hong Kong etc). And the blossoming Russia/China relationship and growing interdependence was on full public display. But in fact, it was deeply alarming to western intelligence.
From President Xi’s perspective, he is convinced that China’s ‘moment in time’ is fast approaching and that a resurgent east will soon dominate a declining west – and this belief is shared by Putin. The sanctions imposed on Russia have a clear sub-text to China lest it have any thoughts about Taiwan. However, if China were to invade Taiwan the sanctions imposed on China would result in the global economy screeching to a halt and how long could the west maintain the pressure?
But in any event we should recognise what is really happening: China has cemented a reliable and uninterruptable supply of energy, minerals and other resources it will use to achieve its destiny. It cannot allow itself to be reliant on the west which includes ring-fencing its financial and economic health. By happy coincidence, China’s huge neighbour has mineral resources in abundance and what’s more, is deeply offended at decades-long western efforts to suppress and isolate it with various sanctions (even before the invasion) and has repeatedly acted to cauterize or contain the Russian military via NATO. It is also longing to get into the economic bed with a large and powerful partner.
IMO, the West recognised (if belatedly) the implications of a Russian/Chinese alliance and as offensive as the Russian invasion of Ukraine may be, it serves a purpose in that there is a far bigger issue at stake. Namely, that western governments have determined that Russia must be substantially diminished so that its alliance with China is of far less value which correspondingly inhibits China’s global plans. In addition, a poor Russian outcome in the war must see Putin and his political party replaced with a leader* who are more accommodating of the western doctrine and who will choke off specific supplies to China, or at a minimum, doesn’t fully engage. China might (just might) be containable by itself but there is no chance as it feeds on inexhaustible raw material supplies from Russia, and unassailable finances.
Far fetched? Too many John le Carre books? Maybe I am way off but it is undeniable that there are always wheels within wheels when we examine geopolitics and, the biggest game in town is a China/Russia alliance.

As expected, SBU and Kraken are moving through recently won areas of Kharkov and murdering collaborators. Given that the government of Kiev considers people that accepted Russian food or medicinal aid or people that remained at their posts as ‘collaborators’, that is probably a wide net given the length of the occupation.
Interesting; Tucker reports in Chicago black criminal gangs are operating with impunity with police directed now to arrest several gangs of blacks driving around and committing armed robberies. The same thing is happening in other demorat cities.
I’m pretty sure the mid terms are gone. They won’t be held. The demorats are going to continue to provoke a response from the general population and will enact martial law when even the slightest fightback such as some poor bastard shooting a black assailant occurs. it’s only a small step from what they are already doing.
Here we’ll have enough to worry about with blackouts, food shortages and chunk warships in Sydney harbour. Plus pile ons.
On reflection, and having put myself through the torture of reading that thread, it probably wasn’t the best example to choose as it turned out.
The principle got buried in the personal very quickly.
NOT to arrest; fuck. Some librarian I am.
Simply, with Struth there is always an issue (one issue) at stake, even if offensively put and by way of named opponents. Not so in other instances where a named opponent may exist but no particular issue as such. Cancelling the (putatively offensive) comments would be cancelling the issue.

But it was Obama who extended the “dronings” to US citizens living outside the US., with no legal due process. m0nty-fa deliberately ignores this reality, because it doesn’t suit the “narrative”.
Lord, it’s like Satan lurking in the shadows.
Something is wrong with this statement.
Again Tucker; 12 different examples of completely unhindered criminal activity in the streets of demorat cities: shootings, robberies, assaults, every one done by blacks.

Essendon reinstating Hird would be the dumbest thing they could do, which means it is very much on the cards.
Enough with all this free-and-easy identity bs. I pinkie swear that I truly rooly was a librarian for the last three years of my teaching life. And I loved it!
A teacher librarian, I took every class from kindy to year 12, keeping them up to date with current affairs (from a bipartisan perspective*,) assisting seniors with their SACE requirements and fostering a love of language and books. Such a pleasure and a privilege to be part of the education of those young lives.
*We were allowed to do that in those days: present both sides of a policy or situation. I’m just happy that I retired while teaching was still an honourable profession.
What’s that have to do with the price of cannoli?

Harry ‘Snapper’ Organs, on the trail of Doug and Dinsdale:
Today I watched the ABC Four Corners hit job on Qantas first aired a couple of weeks ago.
As someone who wrote about airlines for a living for 25 years, I found it was nothing more or less than a square-up by the left’s government propaganda unit on behalf of unions still smarting from Alan Joyce’s 2011 decision to ground the entire Qantas fleet to kneecap unions’ attempt to forestall management’s drive to turn the airline into a lean, profitable entity facing an onslaught of low-cost competition from aggressive full-service raiders like Emirates, which undercuts QF business class fares by 50% or more.
Union hacks like Steve Purvinas, federal secretary of the Australian Licensed Engineers association cut off at the knees by Alan Joyce is 2011, featured prominently in the ABC’s hit job on the national carrier, backed by anti-business academics who sounded like communist revolutionaries and health bureaucrats fretting that the airline’s management didn’t buy government Kung Flu hysteria after 2020.
That is why the Australian left regards the ABC as an irreplaceable propaganda asset.
Gutfeld has a main segment on the infiltration of woke librarians with balls and breasts into the demure, formerly sacred ground of libraries. This is an issue symbolic of and probably responsible for the decadent decline of the West. Make no mistake true librarians are on the front line. Expect blood and ink to flow.

“‘Dr’ Jill Jill Biden Thinks It’s Un-American To Oppose Porn in School Libraries”
Of course she would think this, this is the woman who probably turned a blind eye to her creepy pervert of a husband showering with their daughter. Anyway, as for porn, it’s already in American schools. The always excellent Powerline had a piece a few days ago by John Hinderaker called “Corruption in Public Schools”, and how a book called “Gender Queer” is currently found in Minnesota public schools.
https://www.powerlineblog.com/archives/2022/09/corruption-in-the-public-schools.php
As you can see, if you click on the link and glimpse some of the book’s pictures, “Gender Queer” ain’t the Karma Sutra. What’s clear is that the American public school system, long fragile, has collapsed.
I try and be optimistic about the future, particularly the future of the US, and men like Ron DeSantis give me hope but if American children attending public schools in the US are reading such putrid filth, my hopes fade. Get the children, get them young and groom them. Foucault is laughing.
Oh and I reckon Putin wouldn’t allow such “instructional” books in Russian school libraries. Russian kids are probably still learning quaint things like reading, writing and maths. Golly gosh, how utterly reactionary.

I was in Singapore the night Joyce grounded the airline. Asian press was very objective, in other words he had no choice as the unions had pushed management into a corner. Red eye run to Darwin then on to Cairns and the press here was the polar opposite.
As someone who had been inconvenienced by baggage delays, cancelled flights and just about every other Tom foolery I wasn’t too sympathetic to the unions cries…
For the record till COVID I thought the red roo was better off for the showdown, a much better product.
Marshal Tito and Colonel Gaddafi?
Sure it’s fine to sympathize with Joyce and his union problems, but the full on adoption of cultural marxism by Qantas eg piping junkee into baggage halls mean I won’t fly with them anymore.
No
I don’t normally go in for conspiracy theories, but, if the “Voice to Parliament ” referendum IS defeated, doesn’t that offer a great opportunity to play the race card loudly and often?

OK so we have to take another step before we can power vehicles with a suitcase!
Putin is a neo-Marxist creation of the Soviet Union. He is also corrupt and has stolen billions of dollars from the Russian people. The Marxists of the Biden regime are also repulsive but they’re ultimately just thieves like Putin.
Under pressure.
Yes Tom but I don’t believe the Russian establishment is peddling pornography to minors.
Please, can you give an English language translation of that phrase?
Sure. Junkee is a left wing news channel which Qantas was, and maybe still is, showing on screens in their terminals.
BoN,
Men in Black reference?
Helen – There’ve been some nice developments with fusion lately, but as you might expect we’re a long way from what Admiral Honor Harrington was powering her ships with.
Researchers generate fusion at 100 million Kelvin for 20 seconds (Phys.org, 8 Sep)
I think the real breakthrough will come, though, when they start to seriously look at other fusion elements. Especially lithium and boron. But who am I? I’m just a chemist who reads a lot of stuff.
I’m still hoping for an answer for my challenge: Sancho! My armor!
Fits extremely well with this topic, btw, which is another clue.
Ten upticks are on offer…
Anyone else waiting for this macabre dead queen procession to come to a screeching halt when Zombie Liz sits upright in her coffin and says PAYBACK TIME, BITCHEZZZZ ?
No?
Just me?
Ho-kayyy.
Russia for a very long time has been the source of illicit pornography.
The Russia mafia profits and the Russian deep state takes their cut.

Clue number three: the galaxy is on Orion’s belt.
Men in Black?
I saw it.
Almost laughable.
Every one interviewed was an ex shop steward.
Apparently baggage handling is some amalgam of science and the black arts.
And the ambush of Joyce – “why do cabin crews get different pay rates?”
Because their competitors with staff based in Singapore or Dubai or wherever pay those rates.
It was classic “get the band back together” stuff.
Emotive bullshit about “cutting staff cuts safety”.
You know, if a 727 had a crew of three and a 737 has a crew of two …
Or it took a ground crew of twenty to turnaround a 747, but a 787 only requires eight ground staff …
Surely you’re not suggesting Vlad the Defenestrator is a whited sepulchre?
Bushie – Close but no cigar. 😀 Yes the clue is from MiB, but the keyword in the clue is the key to my challenge.
I’m surprised this has turned out to be as hard as it appears to be. Dover’s Cat isn’t so infused by SF as Sinc’s Cat was.
Galaxy quest?

Doesn’t Doc Brown have a gunfight with Mad Dog McGree in BTTF3? Maybe he asks some random Mexican assistant to hand him some home-made armour?
Nah, I dunno.
Doug and Dinsdale Piranha.
“Dinsdale says ‘I hear you’ve been a naughty boy Clement’ and he splits me nostrils open and saws me leg off and pulls me liver out and I tell him my name’s not Clement and then… he loses his temper and nails me head to the floor.
Interviewer: He nailed your head to the floor?
Vince: At first yeah”

No bad.
Ok here’s another clue: “old bang-bang”.
That is an essential background to “Sancho! My armor!”
Interestingly Bing gets it, but Google doesn’t.
Evil Dead?
I missed what it’s all about, but:
windmills.
Most stakeholders – from shareholders, to employees, to customers, to communities, and regulators
“Stakeholders” is straight from the WEF playbook.
It’s important to note that a regime change in Russia would achieve far less that a regime change in the US. A regime change in the US could achieve a level of freedom that isn’t forthcoming in Russia.
Wind and solar are also “free”, but it’s the capture and generation of it that costs money. Regular nuclear is also free, but isn’t. Fusion needed to be made cheaper than all alternatives to succeed.
Explicit, unapologetic racism in the California courts?
possibly beery-
There has been very little, if any, public discussion about the Russian economic talk-fest recently in eastern Russia, and the accompanying joint Russian and Chinese war games.
Of particular importance was the involvement of the Indian military in these Russian war games. India participated with China at Russia’s request; I’d think it impossible for China and India to jointly cooperate on anything at any time given their mutual hatred, but there you go, Chinese and Indian military joining together with Russia for their war games.
Who’d have thunk it?
Precisely. Well put.

Anyone who talks about climate change fits into two categories for me.
They’re either a …
1) a con-artist thief.
or a
2) a low IQ gullible sucker.
Presidential EO 13818 and 13848 confirmed that the target of these orders was Joe Biden and foreign interference in American elections.
These orders had sunset clauses and if a legitimate administration was in charge of the Whitehouse then they would have expired.
These orders have been renewed under the illegitimate Biden administration.
That doesn’t make any sense.
Wake up Cats!
I thought it would be easy!
“Sancho! My armor!”
If you search this on Bing it comes up at #3.
Other clues: Orion‘s belt. Old bang bang. UFOs. A previous comment (Niven and Pournelle).

Custard – are you starting up a new QAnon branch in Australia?
Your recent posts have me scratching my head.
Spelling alert.
It is:-
Sancho!!
My amour!!
Mwahhh!!!

That’s the way I hear it.

Ahhhh. ‘Old bang-bang.’
Pepe le Pew. It was so obvious.
Who’d have thunk it?
A corrupt and morally bankrupt super power will facilitate things like that happening, and I’m not talking about Russia.
The USA has spent 30 years trashing its brand. With the lunacy now in overdrive no one wants to engage with them except the rusted on West.
What does conservative India have in common with LGBTQI American and a Regime founded on Pedo, Porn and Pay to Play?
Sadly Jerry Pournelle died in 2017 after catching flu at a SF&F fan convention. I was reading his blog at the time he went. Which I have to say is a pretty good way to go out, if you’re a science fiction author.
KD – The old Cat was a haven for SF readers, of which Sinc was the foremost. Sadly we seem to’ve lost the great tradition.
Further detail on Mr. Dorante-Day, from the abovementioned piece:
Strike one.
And:
Which is exactly what you’d say to a precocious little mong to get him off your case, and to give him something to do for the next 50 years. Strike two.
Except:
Strike three.
So several thousand of the world’s best dirt journos, right there in Fleet Street, along with their open chequebooks somehow missed that Prince Charles porked some minor royal, and which resulted in a child subject to super-secrecy provisions, and they missed it for over 50 years while not one of the hundreds of royal staffers leaked that there was a rogue baby at large in somebody’s palace.
This really is world-class grifting.
I remember, Bruce.
My next guess was going to be something about Darth Vader.

For me, as an energy wonk, this is the most significant missing element of public discussion on this whole horrific fuckup.
Putin’s Russia is in the process of becoming owned by China (and to a lesser extent, India). Heavily discounted energy exports is the win-win-win loss leader for Vlad the Invader.
Looking beyond the next couple of European winters, it’s also the Russian future.
Well done Kremlin chaps. Hope (for all our sakes) that most Russians are happy to see themselves as an Asian client state when prices calm down.
(And fuck you, NATO strategic geniuses, for missing this inevitability.)
