A woman who had been married three times walked into a bridal shop one day and told the sales clerk that she was looking for a wedding gown for her fourth wedding.
“Of course, madam” replied the sales clerk “exactly what type and colour dress are you looking for?” The bride-to-be said “A long frilly white dress with a veil”.
“Please don’t take this the wrong way, madam, but such dresses are usually more fitting for the first-time bride who is more innocent in the ways of life, if you get my meaning”.
“WELL!” replied the customer, a little peeved at the clerk’s directness “I can assure you that a white gown would be quite appropriate. Believe it or not, despite all my marriages, I remain as innocent as a first-time bride!
You see, my first husband was so excited about our wedding, he died as we were checking into our honeymoon hotel.
My second husband and I got into such a terrible fight in the limo on our way to our honeymoon hotel that we had that wedding annulled immediately and never spoke to each other again!”
“What about your third husband?” “That one was a politician” said the woman “and every night for four years, he just sat on the edge of the bed and told me how GREAT it was going to be, but NOTHING ever happened!”

The War Room/DailyClout’s Pfizer Documents Research Volunteers — a group of medical and scientific experts who have selflessly stepped up to analyze the tens of thousands of formerly internal Pfizer documents released under court order subsequent to a lawsuit by Aaron Siri’s firm, Siri & Glimstad, and a FOIA by Public Health and Medical Professionals for Transparency — have now fully demonstrated that Pfizer’s mRNA vaccines target human reproduction in comprehensive, likely irreversible ways.
Our 3,250 research volunteers, in 39 fully cited reports to date, have documented evidence of what I’ve been calling “360 degrees of harm” to reproduction.
The Pfizer documents reveal monstrous damage to menstruation, harm to the testes and epididymis, harms to the penis, horrible harm to the ova and ovaries, mechanisms for compromising the placenta, contamination of amniotic fluid, and damage to newborns. They reveal that four women’s breast milk turned blue-green. They reveal injuries to at least one newborn that extend to death (or murder) from ingesting tainted breast milk. They reveal horrific levels of miscarriages.

China Insights
The wave of Chinese tycoons emigrating to the West occurred a while ago. It is safe to say that almost everyone in the top echelons of the Communist Party knows that the regime could collapse at any moment. So, the more senior the officials, the closer to the top the wealthy are, and the more these people are in a rush to move either assets in the national treasury or their own assets overseas to save themselves a fallback.
Beijing and Shanghai, which hold the ninth and tenth places on the list of wealthiest cities, respectively, have also recorded losses as Henley & Partners predict China will see the second-largest wealth outflow after Russia this year.

More Guardian, what surprise.
Sky and the Australian find ‘no evidence’ of a climate emergency – they weren’t looking hard enough
That article is by graham readfearn who is a complete shithead. He says the recent Italian paper disproving extreme weather is just an article. In fact it was a comprehensive review and analysis. Some years ago readfearn was in a debate with Monckton. He was part of the team against Monckton and some sceptical scientists. Readfearn was so overawed he couldn’t speak and did not write for some time after. He didn’t learn, he is a useful idiot.
My lucky day!

his last para is uncharacteristically fierce for Hinderaker, who during the fifteen years or so that I’ve been reading his articles has always been a very level headed guy.
BoN, he’s still a level headed bloke, but he now knows that the other side – the side of silencing and controls – is not going to leave anything alone. That’s sobering and at the same time alarming. Fierce, is what’s going to be required.
That debate involving Readfearn was between Monckton and Professor Ian Plimer against Professor Barry Brook and Readfearn. Can’t find a video of it unfortunately.

The ‘jail Trump’ mania reaches its sad end
The latest Letitia James lawsuit is so much ado about nothing
New York Attorney General Letitia James filed a lawsuit against former President Donald Trump, three of his adult children, and other senior members of the Trump Organization on Wednesday. Her suit alleges business and insurance fraud as well as conspiracy for the same, and marks the end of a three-year investigation into Trump and his business.
The civil suit is basically a civil version of the criminal indictments the Southern District of New York (SDNY) and the Manhattan and New York State attorneys general have failed to generate at the federal and state levels. The suit claims in a nutshell what the criminal cases claimed: Trump over-valued the worth of his properties to use them as collateral for new loans, and then undervalued those same properties come tax time to pay lower taxes.
The criminal cases have fallen flat because of the need to prove actual criminal intent, that Trump lied intending to commit a crime. This proved impossible when the Trump family would not confess (Trump himself took the Fifth some 440 times during recent questioning) and when no one could be found to Fredo him by turning in evidence in return for some lower sentence. What’s left in what has clearly become a prosecution driven by the political need to do something ahead of 2024 is this civil suit. Basically, same accusations, same weak evidence, but lower standards of proof with lower penalties.
The current try is kind of pathetic. It’s just a lawsuit, which carries no potential criminal jeopardy, so no formal indictment, no possibility of jail time. The suit holds that Trump mis-valued some New York real estate between 2011 and 2021 to obtain loans and pay lower taxes, a civil offense at worst usually settled with new assessments or a fine.
Yet even this case against Trump could be difficult to prove. Property valuations are subjective, and most financial statements include a disclaimer stating that they have not been audited. Now underline this part: Deutsche Bank and Trump’s other lenders were hardly victims; all of his loans are either current or were paid off, some early. Trump does not use email, so any instructions he might have given his employees about the company’s financial statements are unlikely to be in writing.
The Democrats’ plan to find Trump guilty of something, anything, seems to be coming to its own sad ending. They have tried to turn belief that Trump is evil into a crime — Emoluments Clause, Russiagate, impeachments I and II, Stormy Daniels, obstruction of justice, and incitement.

.2 The business enquiry doesn’t amount to anything.
.3 Without Person A placing explicit limitations on the use of that information, is Person B (or XYZ Co) free to use that information for any purpose?
.4 Do various Privacy Acts and industry/company ethical standards come into play?
.5 For example, could Person B use the information as follows:-
– ask Person A out on a date or initiate some other personal contact?;
– provide Person A’s contact details to insurance companies, energy companies, telcos or market research companies?;
– send Person A’s details to a Nigerian Prince who is searching for an heir to his fortune?;
Are there implied limits to the use of information disclosed as part of a business enquiry, or does Person A have to explicitly exclude unintended use of their contact information?

Centre for Independent Studies
Speaking at the 2022 John Bonython Lecture, Ambassador Bolton addressed the U.S. vs the China-Russia entente, and what he views as the strategic errors of many American conservatives. It has been more than 75 years since the U.S. last faced an axis of strategic threats. Fortunately, that axis proved dysfunctional. America’s current strategic adversaries, Russia and China, are not an axis. They have formed an entente, which is growing stronger — as China’s unambiguous support for Russia in the Ukraine crisis proves.
Many American conservatives increasingly believe that U.S. global involvement should be reduced or redirected. Some Australians and others in the Asia-Pacific region hope that opposing China’s existential threat to the West requires reducing or even withdrawing U.S. support for allies in Europe and the Persian Gulf. But it is a strategic error.
Critically, those who exclusively fear China ignore the Russia-China entente. The entente serves to project China’s power through Russia, as Beijing also projects power through North Korean and Iranian nuclear programs. Moreover, Beijing closely assesses Washington’s reactions to crises like the one in Ukraine to decide how to structure future provocations.
Beijing is not a regional threat but a global one. Treating the rest of the world as a third-tier priority, a distraction, the U.S. plays directly into China’s hands. Pivoting to Asia wouldn’t strengthen America against China. It would have precisely the opposite effect and weaken the U.S. global posture. We need to see this big picture before the Russia-China entente grows up to be an axis.

In researching the idiot graham readfearn I came across an old article of mine where I gave 10 reasons why AGW is bullshit; still relevant:
Ten reasons why the theory has failed:
1 Previous levels of CO2 were much higher than today and correlated with temperatures higher, the same and lower than today.
2 Movements of CO2 do not correlate with movements in temperature; during the 20th Century from 1940-1976 CO2 increased but temperatures dropped; the same from 1998. Generally, throughout geologic history CO2 follows temperature movements.
3 According to the IPCC the Climate sensitivity of a doubling of CO2 will result in a temperature increase of 3.2C. Since 1900 CO2 has increased 40% which should have produced a temperature increase of 1.3C. However temperature has only increased by 0.7C. Of that 0.7C increase solar influence has been 0.1-0.4C and natural variation at least 0.3C.
4 The mechanism by which CO2 causes heating has never been adequately explained.
5 Optical depth, which is as good a measure of the ‘greenhouse’ effect as any, has not increased in 60 years of measurement.
6 The amount of radiation leaving from the top of the atmosphere has increased which means CO2 is not trapping heat.
7 Solar radiation at the surface increased during the crucial period of AGW warming from 1983-2001 and this by itself can explain the warming which took place during this period.
8 Clouds are a negative feedback which means they are a brake to any warming.
9 Water vapour has not increased as required by AGW theory.
10 The Medieval Warming Period was at least as warm as today which means that the centre-piece of AGW, the hockey-stick, is wrong.
Cute owl.
Thank you, Cassie.

The Winter Gatekeeper Hypothesis (VII).
Posted on September 22, 2022 by curryja | 19 Comments
by Javier Vinós & Andy May
“On the other hand, I think I can safely say that nobody understands climate change.” J. Vinós, paraphrasing Richard Feynman’s words about quantum mechanics.
7.1 Introduction
This plain-language summary has been written at the request of some readers of our series of articles on the Winter Gatekeeper hypothesis:
(I) The search for a solar signal
(II) Solar activity unexplained/ignored effects on climate
(III) Meridional transport
(IV) The climate shift of 1997
(V) A role for the sun in climate change
(VI) Meridional transport as the main climate change driver
Climate is extremely complex, and people, including scientists, have a natural tendency to look for simple explanations. The Occam’s Razor principle is a good first approach but climate change cannot have a simple answer. Over the past seven years, one of the authors of this series (JV) has been laboriously reading many thousands of scientific articles and analyzing hundreds of climate datasets trying to understand how Earth’s climate changes naturally. This is a first step to understanding the human impact on climate change.
The outcome of this work is the book “Climate of the Past, Present and Future.” It is a graduate-student level academic book that discusses many controversial issues about natural climate change over the past 800,000 years. In this book, a new hypothesis on natural climate change is presented. It relates changes in the strength of the meridional (poleward) transport of energy with climatic changes that have taken place, both in the past and recently.

Are Democrats Deliberately Choosing Impaired Candidates?
Once could be excused. Twice is suspicious. Three times seems like a strategy. Are Democrats choosing infirm, intellectually challenged, feeble people to run for office so that they can be easily manipulated?
Joe Biden was and is clearly infirm, physically, psychologically, and cognitively.
John Fetterman is also clearly infirm due to two things: He has had a recent stroke which seems to have left him cognitively impaired, and he also has a rather prominent swelling on the back of his neck, which could be the sign of several very serious conditions.
Kamala Harris is intellectually suspect, linguistically incontinent, and verbally incoherent. Why are these people being chosen by the Democrat Party for the highest offices?
My observation leads me places I would rather not go. With Joe Biden in the White House, he is clearly doing what he is told by others.
This much is clear; he simply does not have the stamina, the wisdom, or the political acumen necessary to be an effective President of the United States. His gaffes, his verbal dyslexia, his delusional prevarications, his garbled verbiage, and his ability to reliably make statements his handlers have to mop up afterward, are all deeply troubling.
No political party would run such a candidate unless two things were happening: One, the election would be guaranteed to affect a win for the candidate, and two, the candidate would simply be a figurehead for the real powers behind the throne. Biden would have to know that others would be running his presidency. Were he and Jill that easy to roll?

An open letter to a real “Libertarian with an Asian wife” I’ve had the misfortune of working under.
Dear sexpat,
..
Its all downhill from there..
..
Assassinating leaders, couping governments, carpet bombing villages and farmland, building military bases, nuking cities, arming terrorists, and backing fascist dictators. The comfort you grew up with in your own life as a white man is a direct result of western imperialism.
…
Yup, those brown and yellow people are just completely without agency… also Chairman Maos grave just started chuckling, any idea why?
…
At some point in your miserable white life, you married an Asian woman. She’s probably decades younger than you. Speaks very little English. She might be your second, or even third Asian wife. You were married to a white woman at one point, but divorced ages ago because white women are just so liberated and demanding! The Asian women know their place. They are submissive, docile, and replaceable. You don’t spare much thought for your Asian ex-wives. Maybe you met your Asian wife online or in a magazine catalogue. You and your racist friends probably call her a “mail order bride” right in front of her. It’s fine though, she doesn’t understand English anyway.
…
Holy leaping assumptions batman, theres some A grade “tell us what you are bitter about without saying anything” in that package.
…
But make no mistake. You’re nothing but a tool for a working class Asian woman to get some payback for what your country did to her people. She doesn’t give a shit about you and now she’s living in the US with a nice immigrant visa or citizenship. She’s already brought over her brother who works in a restaurant, her niece who’s applying to college, and her nephew who’s just starting Kindergarten. She’s sending loads of your money back to her elderly parents. She’s doing some leisurely travelling for the first time in her life, bringing her teenage niece to see NYC or the Golden Gate Bridge, famous sights they’d only seen in pictures. She might even go to college herself, an opportunity she was denied because your country bombed her country to the stone age. And the best part is, she and her friends at karaoke are trash talking you and your sexpat friends harder than you know. But you’ll never understand her because you never planned on learning her language. It was all on her to learn English, obviously. I speak her language though. I had this conversation with her while helping her with the dishes, right in front of you in your own kitchen. It’s our little secret code, one of the most widely spoken languages on earth.
….
Ill take “things which I imagine would happen” for $60 Bruce…
…
Your imperialist country will never pay reparations to the people of Asia. To the contrary, it demands payment for the amount it spent invading Asian countries. Vietnam and Cambodia spent the better part of a century paying back war debts. It’s the price of their liberation from the clutches of the French and the Americans. Your country continues to destroy Asian lives today through its bombings on countries in the Middle East and sanctions on countries like the DPRK, Afghanistan, and Iran. When you and your sexpat friends die, some of that money will be returned to Asian hands. Your Asian widow will spend that money improving her own life and the lives of her family. In the absence of reparations, I critically support the looting of sexpats for our own gain. Asian people are survivors. We’re simply helping ourselves to a little bit of that wealth you stole from our people.
…
Somehow she skips the Japanese, Chinese, Thai etc wars Vietnam had as well. Apparently they were ok because they had slanty eyes as well…
…
Followed by a ” oh shit” moment…
Note to readers: I don’t want to imply in any way that Asian women are gold diggers, nor to encourage these kinds of marriages as “good”. This specific anecdote is from my own experience, where I wanted to highlight the material conditions that push Asian women into marriages with much older white men in imperialist countries. While they are obviously the victims of imperialism, I also want to push back on the narrative that Asian women are solely victims lacking agency. Many women in these highly exploitative, unbalanced marriages indeed have their own plans to draw benefit for themselves and their families. Each dead sexpat can provide the wealth to sustain a number of working class Asian family members as we fight to survive in a white supremacist world.
Now to sit back and watch as Dot, lured by the scent of bitter, bitter tears, empty boxes of cask wine and soiled cat litter stumbles into the trap..
Dessau of course wanted to board first so everyone had to walk past her and see this is the important person who everyone had to wait for.
Her official bio makes no mention of these slight annoyances, at Wiki:
In August 2016, Dessau was embroiled in an expenses scandal, which saw her personally repay the expenses of lunches at a Gordon Ramsay restaurant (Pétrus) and Harrods, which had originally been paid by the Victorian taxpayer. In 2016, the level of expenses for capital works and ongoing maintenance requested by Dessau were alleged to be excessive, and a former Government House employee told the Herald Sun that the working environment there was “toxic”.

Is it time to give Putin an off-ramp?
The Russian president’s nuclear threats have changed the acceptable cost of his defeat. It may be repugnant but necessary to make some concessions to him.
Clive Crook – Political commentator
From the outset of Russia’s war on Ukraine, the crucial question hasn’t changed: Can Vladimir Putin be defeated at an acceptable cost?
Despite all we now know about Russia’s military incompetence and the courage and skill of Ukraine’s forces, the answer is still uncertain.
This leads to an uncomfortable conclusion, one that President Joe Biden showed no trace of understanding in his speech at the United Nations on Wednesday: planning for the end of this conflict needs to weigh outcomes that are disappointing, even disgraceful, for the sake of avoiding those that are catastrophic.
The idea of an off-ramp for Putin strikes many as repugnant – and now, for good measure, entirely unnecessary. Ukraine is winning! Why help Russia snatch so much as a partial victory from the jaws of defeat?
The “Ukraine must win” chorus never clearly sets out what Russia’s defeat really involves.
Perhaps it means that Russia is pushed back behind its pre-2014 borders and then just comes to terms with it.
Or maybe Putin’s humiliation causes domestic opposition to explode, and he’s removed; his successor is someone the West can do business with; Russia’s claims to superpower status collapse; and its demotion to second-tier status is acknowledged and accepted by Moscow.
All good stuff, to be sure, and nothing is impossible. But, to put it mildly, these futures aren’t assured.
Thinking about Armageddon
As governments gathered for the UN meeting, Putin announced his intention to prolong the war with a “partial mobilisation” that in due course will field another 300,000 soldiers.
And he underlined his threat to use nuclear weapons: “Russia will use all the instruments at its disposal to counter a threat against its territorial integrity. This is not a bluff.”
Soon that notion of territorial integrity might include areas Russia currently occupies and intends to annex.
I keep reading that one should be aware of Putin’s nuclear threats but not intimidated by them. Call me a coward, but I find it difficult to think about Armageddon without being a little intimidated – and I ask the same of my political leaders.
What’s needed now is a settlement that lets Putin claim a victory that everybody else understands to be a defeat.
If at all possible, it’s better to avoid than invite mass death and destruction. Of course, simply surrendering in the face of such threats would assure defeat – but one can be rationally intimidated, and respond accordingly, without surrendering.
That’s what mutually assured destruction is supposed to mean.
Am I exaggerating the danger? Won’t Putin be deterred from using nuclear weapons if he’s threatened with a proportionately drastic response?
Again, maybe – but what’s the deterrent, exactly? It’s hard to see how sanctions could be made much tougher, not least because they’re already causing great damage beyond Russia.
Having gone to such lengths to support Ukraine without putting any of its own forces at risk, can the United States credibly threaten (as some advise) to attack Russia in response to a tactical nuclear strike – let alone credibly threaten a nuclear response?
Supposing the threats and counter-threats evolve in that direction, I note a worrisome dissonance in much of the analysis of Putin’s calculations.
His attack on Ukraine was judged to be not just deplorable but also reckless. Yet he is expected to parse the pros and cons of “escalating to de-escalate” as prudence demands. What could possibly go wrong?
Ukraine’s remarkable battlefield successes create an opening to bring the war to a close without running these extraordinary risks. What’s needed now is a settlement that lets Putin claim a victory that everybody else understands to be a defeat.
This could emerge from negotiations in a variety of different forms. But imagine, to begin with, a ceasefire that set borders according to current battle lines, with a longer-term outcome that ceded some territory to Russia while admitting most of today’s Ukraine into NATO.
Until recently, Putin would have deemed this unacceptable. Now it might not look so bad.
Of course, Ukraine and its most ardent supporters would hate it too. Rewarding Russia’s hostility with territory and sustaining Putin in power seem unconscionable.
But it has been a grave mistake throughout for the US and its friends to defer as much as they have to Ukraine’s judgment of what’s at stake and how much risk to run. Ukraine’s interests and calculations of warranted sacrifice are aligned with those of the West, but not identical to them.
Most of the world would see a negotiated outcome not as Ukraine might, but as a salutary defeat for Russia.
The suggestion that Putin would simply pause, gather strength, and then renew his wars of expansion in pursuit of Greater Russia is a stretch. The course of the war has underlined the limits of Russia’s power, tested the patience of its allies, and cemented the capacity of the West to challenge its actions.
The total humiliation of Putin, or his removal from power, isn’t necessary to drive this home.
Accepting this deeply unsatisfying result would reduce the risk of a catastrophic wider conflict. It’s a price worth paying.

I was asking, “When a person contacts a professional services firm for advice, do they have to explicitly state the limitations on the use of their contact details?”
I think the answer is no.
So what are the limits, either set down in privacy law, or by professional ethical standards?
I suspect subsequent contact is not verboten per se, but I think the subject matter would have to be carefully considered.

Does anyone believe the allegations of racism Eddie Betts made?
I call bullshit on the pool allegation. He either made it up entirely, or there’s additional context he’s leaving out. It’s such a stereotypical racist encounter – get outta tha pool, boy! Yer kind ain’t welcome ’round herr. I mean, come ON. If you built a time machine, Eddie, why did you choose to travel back to the 1950s antebellum south? Surely there’d be more interesting places and periods in history to witness?
As for being followed around a shop – more likely to be true, but even then I’d like to know the context. If he’s in a shop in a rough neighbourhood or town, it’s possible. But he really ought to know why.
Just over 20 years ago and fresh out of year 12, I got my first real job in a large, busy bottle shop in a rough neighbourhood (Midland, for the Sandgropers. Say no more). It was an eye-opener for a middle class, private school kid. We sold a lotta booze to people from all walks of life – we had a huge wine range at very sharp prices so loads of big dollar wine buyers, lots of wealthy farmers who would fill up their new VX Landcruisers with cartons of beer, premix and boxes of spirits before driving back to their Wheatbelt properties. Also plenty of regular people, and of course Midland’s charming welfare-funded/criminal community – a large proportion of this cohort being Aboriginal.
You could split the vast majority of the Aboriginal customers into three main groups: the law-abiding, employed/employable people, the city-raised criminal types and the park drinkers. It was easy to tell the difference between the three. The law-abiding, employed Aboriginal customers talked, dressed and conducted themselves in the way law-abiding, employed/employable people did. The city-raised criminal types conducted themselves in the way non-Aboriginal city-raised criminal types did. There were plenty of this type in Midland (probably still are but I don’t go to that shithole anymore), Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal alike. You needed to keep a close eye on them – especially when they were in the spirit aisles.
The park drinkers were an easily identifiable bunch. They stank, they wore raggedy clothes, they spoke very little and were difficult to understand when they did speak, they usually travelled in groups who waited outside the shop bar one sent in to buy the inevitable bags of goon with a fistful of notes and coins (except on pension day, when it was all crisp pineapples fresh from the ATM and requests to call taxis etc).
The thing about the park drinkers was that you *had* to follow them around the shop – and be seen by them to be watching them – otherwise they *would* try to steal stuff. I saw this over and over. As a relatively sheltered private school educated 18yo, I bristled inwardly when I was told I had to trail the park drinkers around the store – so racist! At first, I pretended to do it if I was being watched myself, but if I wasn’t, I didn’t do it. But I discreetly watched them. And *every freaking time* they weren’t openly ‘escorted’ around the store by a staff member, they would stuff bottles and cans down pants or in bags or prams before coming up to the counter to buy their box of fruity lexia. Was I supposed to deny this plainly obvious reality in order not to be racist?
But I’d be surprised if Eddie Betts could be confused for a park drinker by a shopkeeper who has to make split second profiling decisions of the people who enter their store in order to protect their stock. Some of the people I worked with were racist as hell when it came to Aboriginal customers and weren’t that smart – they would unnecessarily trail Aboriginal blokes who had pretty clearly (to me, anyway) just knocked off their manual labour job and thus looked a bit scruffy, but had no criminal intentions. Of course that was wrong and I would be pissed off if I were in their shoes.
But there were loads of Aboriginal customers that no one followed around or kept an eye on – and for the same reasons why non-Aboriginal customers weren’t followed around or kept an eye on – their appearance, their age and the way they carried themselves suggested they weren’t shoplifting types.
Of course, the art of judging the intentions of the various people who enter a shop is far from perfect – some are better at it than others, and prejudice can play a role. Young people in particular are often regarded with suspicion merely because they are young. But mostly it’s pretty easy to spot light fingered types.
I don’t deny that, if I walked into a shop, I’m less likely to be regarded as suspicious by the staff than an Aboriginal man who is otherwise identical to me in other respects. With that said, the Aboriginal me is still very unlikely to be regarded as suspicious. Far less likely than the 21yo me.
And yet, mistakes are made – a while back, I was amused to note I was being shadowed by a security guard whilst browsing at JB Hi-fi – have absolutely no idea why I was receiving this attention, not that it bothered me. Kinda made me feel young again, when I would not infrequently be tailed by staff in shops. Looking at Eddie Betts, I’d be surprised if him being monitored by a security guard while shopping was anything more than an aberration, much like I experienced at JB Hi-Fi.
Point is, if someone like Betts walks into a store, it’s highly unlikely he’s going to arouse suspicion solely because he’s Aboriginal. There’s almost always going to be something else at play as well, such as being young or being dressed like a dero or a gangster or sketchy behaviour. However, if you believe Australia is a terribly racist place, as Betts apparently does, an aberrant event can easily confirm that belief – a mistaken belief in my view, but a sincere one.
Alternatively, Betts could be talking a load of bullshit about his in-store drama. Maybe it’s as phony as the public swimming pool outrage he described. Either way, he’s mining the rich vein of white guilt in Australia, and production is booming. I really hate this shit.
That isn’t a conspiracy.

Two old Yorkshiremen, Ted and Frank, have been mates for as long as either can remember.
They are now both in their nineties and throughout their friendship they have shared a love of cricket, both as players in their youth and now as devoted spectators.
One day while they are sitting at Headingley watching a county game, Ted turns to Frank and says “You know Frank, me and thee have been friends for more than eighty years and we’ve enjoyed our cricket all that time”. “Aye” replies Frank.
“Well” Ted continues “we’ve both had a decent innings and are now getting towards the point where we’ve got to carry our bat for the last dignified walk back to the pavilion”. Aye” replies Frank.
“Do you think they have cricket in Heaven?” asks Ted. Frank says “I don’t know, lad. But if one of us takes the walk to the pavilion before the other, let’s promise that if it’s at all possible, we will come back and let the other know”. “Sounds good to me” says Frank.
A couple of months later Ted gets ill and unfortunately a few days later takes the long walk back to the pavilion.
About a week after Ted dies, Frank is asleep in bed and is woken by a voice he recognises as his old deceased mate.
Franks says “Ted, is it thee?” “Aye” says Ted. “We agreed that the first one would come back and let the other know if there was cricket in Heaven”. Frank answers “Aye”.
“Well” says Ted “there is some good news and some bad news, which would you like first?”
Frank considers his options for a moment. “I’ll have the good news first, please”.
So Ted starts with the good news “There is test match cricket in Heaven and the weather is always a warm summer afternoon. All of our old friends are here and you have the strength and vitality of your youth so that you can bat and bowl all day without getting tried. And Frank, the afternoon teas are to die for”.
“That’s great” says Frank “but, what’s the bad news then?” Ted replies “You’re opening the batting for us next Monday”.
I will now write down a list of all of the things that I haven’t thought of yet.

Holding Ground, Losing War
Douglas Macgregor – Sep 22, 2022
Zelensky’s strategy of defending territory at all costs has been disastrous for Ukraine.
At the end of 1942, when the Wehrmacht could advance no further east, Hitler switched German ground forces from an “enemy force-oriented” strategy to a “ground-holding” strategy. Hitler demanded that his armies defend vast, largely empty and irrelevant stretches of Soviet territory.
“Holding ground” not only robbed the German military of its ability to exercise operational discretion, and, above all, to outmaneuver the slow, methodical Soviet opponent; holding ground also pushed German logistics to the breaking point. When holding ground was combined with endless counterattacks to retake useless territory, the Wehrmacht was sentenced to slow, grinding destruction.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, (presumably with the advice of his U.S. and British military advisors), has also adopted a strategy of holding ground in Eastern Ukraine. Ukrainian forces immobilized themselves inside urban areas, and prepared defenses. As a result, Ukrainian forces turned urban centers into fortifications for what became “last stands.” Sensible withdrawals from cities like Mariupol that might have saved many of Ukraine’s best troops were forbidden. Russian forces responded by methodically isolating and crushing the defenders left with no possibility of either escape or rescue by other Ukrainian forces.
Moscow’s determination to destroy Ukrainian forces at the least cost to Russian lives prevailed. Ukrainian casualties were always heavier than reported from the moment Russian troops crossed into Eastern Ukraine, but now, thanks to the recent failure of Ukrainian counterattacks in the Kherson region, they’ve reached horrific levels that are impossible to conceal. Casualty rates have reached 20,000 killed or wounded a month.
Despite the addition of 126 howitzers, 800,000 rounds of artillery rounds, and HIMARS (U.S. rocket artillery), months of hard fighting are eroding the foundations of Ukraine’s ground strength. In the face of this disaster, Zelensky continues to order counterattacks to re-take territory as a means of demonstrating that Ukraine’s strategic position vis-à-vis Russia is not as hopeless as it seems.
The recent Ukrainian advance to the town of Izium, the link between Donbas and Kharkiv, seemed like a gift to Kiev. U.S. satellite arrays undoubtedly provided Ukrainians with a real-time picture of the area showing that Russian forces west of Izium numbered less than 2,000 light troops (the equivalent of paramilitary police, e.g., SWAT and airborne infantry).
The Russian command opted to withdraw its small force from the area that is roughly 1 percent of formerly Ukrainian territory currently under Russian control. However, the price for Kiev’s propaganda victory was high—depending on the source, an estimated 5,000 to 10,000 Ukrainian troops were killed or wounded in a flat, open area that Russian artillery, rockets, and air strikes turned into a killing field.
Given Washington’s inability to end the war in Ukraine with the defeat of Russian arms, it seems certain that the Beltway will try instead to turn the ruins of the Ukrainian state into an open wound in Russia’s side that will never heal. From the beginning, the problem with this approach was that Russia always had the resources to dramatically escalate the fighting and end the fighting in Ukraine on very harsh terms. Escalation is now in progress.
In a public statement that should not surprise anyone, President Putin announced the partial mobilization of 300,000 reservists. Many of these men will replace regular Russian Army forces in other parts of Russia and release them for operations in Ukraine. Other reservists will augment the Russian units already committed in Eastern Ukraine.
Washington always mistook Putin’s readiness to negotiate and limit the scope and destructiveness of the campaign in Ukraine as evidence of weakness, when it was clear that Putin’s aims were always restricted to the elimination of the NATO threat to Russia in Eastern Ukraine. Washington’s strategy of exploiting the conflict to sell F-35 fighter jets to Germany—along with large numbers of missiles, rockets, and radars to Central and East European allied governments—is now backfiring.
The defense establishment has a long record of success in tranquilizing American voters with meaningless clichés. As conditions favorable to Moscow develop in Eastern Ukraine and the Russian position in the world grows stronger, Washington confronts a stark choice: Talk about having successfully “degraded Russian power” in Ukraine and scale back its actions. Or risk a regional war with Russia that will engulf Europe.
In Europe, however, Washington’s war with Moscow is more than just an unpleasant subject. Germany’s economy is on the brink of collapse. German industries and households are starved for energy that grows more expensive with each passing week. American investors are concerned because the historical record indicates that Germany’s economic performance is often the harbinger of hard economic times in the U.S.
More important, social cohesion in European States, especially in France, and Germany, is fragile. Berlin’s police force is reportedly drawing up contingency plans to cope with rioting and looting during the winter months if the “multi-cultural” city’s energy grid collapses. Discontent is growing making it quite plausible that governments in Germany, France, and Great Britain will likely follow the path of their colleagues in Stockholm and Rome, who lost or will lose power to right-of-center coalitions.
As of this date, Kiev continues to oblige Moscow by impaling Ukraine’s last reserves of manpower on Russian defenses. Washington, insists President Biden, will support Ukraine “as long as it takes.” But if Washington continues to drain America’s strategic oil reserve, and ship American war stocks to Ukraine, the ability to protect and provision the United States will compete with supporting Ukraine.
Russia already controls the territory that produces 95 percent of Ukrainian GDP. It has no need to press further west. At this writing, it seems certain that Moscow will finish its work in Donbas, then, turn its attention to the capture of Odessa, a Russian city that saw terrible atrocities committed by Ukrainian forces against Russian citizens in 2014.
Moscow is in no hurry. The Russians are nothing if not methodical and deliberate. Ukrainian forces are bleeding to death in counterattack after counterattack. Why rush? Moscow can be patient. China, Saudi Arabia, and India are buying Russian oil in rubles. Sanctions are hurting America’s European allies, not Russia. The coming winter will likely do more to alter Europe’s political landscape than any action Moscow might undertake. In Zakopane, a town of 27,000 souls in the extreme South of Poland, the snow is already falling.

Campaigning as a Catholic Mother, Giorgia Meloni Could Be Italy’s First Woman Prime Minister
It might seem blasé to emphasize that a 45-year-old Italian politician is a Catholic mother, but this identity has been a central part of Giorgia Meloni’s campaign — and appeal — as she leads the conservative Brothers of Italy (Fratelli d’Italia, known by the acronym FdI) political party to anticipated victory in national elections on Sept. 25.

This is from Asia Times. It shows what we are actually facing as a result of short sighted and unrealistic oversight of the war in Ukraine. It is also a reality check on the crowing in the West that they have halted the Russian bear, let alone China:
Vostok 2022: the military convergence of Eurasia
Asia Times, Sept 22, 2022
“The actual centerpiece of the military show was the strong participation of the Chinese forces”
Although a considerable number of purveyors of the old order would want us to believe that the most important developments that will significantly impact the world we know are associated with the largely insignificant military offensive recently carried out (as Scott Ritter put it) by a “NATO army manned by Ukrainians” in Kharkiv, this cannot be further from the truth – if we accept a much broader outlook than the one offered by Western parochialism.
In fact, while a large part of the Western world was cheering the Pyrrhic victory that serves as a catalyst to escalate further the conflict that has been initiated by US neocons and has been successfully protracted by Washington and its vassals, the rest of the world was paying close attention to the military exercises that took place early this month in Russia.
The Vostok 2022 drills ran from September 1 to 7. They were conducted under the command of the chief of Russia’s General Staff, Valery Gerasimov, at nine training grounds in the territory of the Eastern Military District, as well as maritime and costal zones of the Sea of Okhotsk and the Sea of Japan.
The purpose of the war games, as the Defense Ministry emphasized in a statement, was “to ensure military security of the Russian Federation and its allies.”
“Today, soldiers and officers of 10 states are standing in a single formation, and a total of 14 countries are taking part in the exercise,” said Deputy Russian Defense Minister Colonel-General Yunus-Bek Yevkurov at the opening ceremony at the Sergeyevsky training ground in the Primorsky Region.
“Tens of thousands of servicemen and thousands of units of equipment are performing combat training missions according to a single plan at nine training grounds in real time.”
So what were these states? Well, participants of the maneuvers included Armenia, Algeria, Azerbaijan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Syria, Nicaragua, Laos, Mongolia, Kazakhstan, Belarus, China, India and, of course, Russia.
Some are members of the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO) and the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO). In total, they accounted for more than 50,000 servicemen and women who were training in accordance with the 1996 Treaty on Military Confidence-Building Measures.
But let us be honest, the actual centerpiece of the military show was the participation of the Chinese forces, which formed the second-largest contingent of the participating parties. While the Middle Kingdom has participated in Russian strategic war games four times so far, notably, this was the second time the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) took part in the Vostok drills, and for the first time, it was represented at the exercises by its ground, naval and air force branches.
In a manifestation of deepening combat coordination between two powers, the navies of the Russian Pacific Fleet and PLA joined forces in sea ranges in the Sea of Japan and the Sea of Okhotsk on September 2 with the aim of practicing the defense of sea lanes and areas of maritime economic activity and assist ground forces in maritime directions – with a particular emphasis put on a threat posed by the US in the region (something that was clearly laid out in Moscow’s new Naval Doctrine that I analyzed in detail at Asia Times).
What was the result? “The Pacific Fleet’s naval groups successfully accomplished missile and artillery firings against aerial targets,” Russia’s Defense Ministry announced the same day. And all of this was in defiance of Japanese objections to holding drills near the southern Kuril Islands.
However, the main phase of this year’s Vostok chapter took place on September 6 when, as Reuters reported, “Smiling Putin” arrived at the Sergeyevsky training ground in the Primorye Region. The Russian president joined Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu and the chief of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Russia, Valery Gerasimov (including more than 170 observers from 35 countries), to watch the military exercises in person.
The joint strategic operation that involved an international coalition group consisting of troops from Russia, China, India, Belarus, Mongolia, Azerbaijan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Armenia and Algeria was divided into three stages and was crowned with the defeat of the hypothetical enemy.
Since it is believed that “Washington plans to gain military strategic supremacy in the Asia-Pacific region” at the expense of Moscow and Beijing, those two countries are growing even closer together in a military, economic and diplomatic sense.
This has been recently proved in the Pacific Ocean, where the two countries held joint patrols – and all of this amid the first meeting since the Covid-19 outbreak between Xi Jinping and Vladimir Putin on the sidelines of a summit of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) in Samarkand, Uzbekistan.
“The tasks of the patrols involve the strengthening of naval cooperation between Russia and China, upholding peace and stability in the Asia-Pacific region, coastal monitoring and safeguarding Russian and Chinese nautical economic sites,” reads the Russian Defense Ministry’s statement.
Adding ever-growing tensions in Ukraine and Taiwan, it is hard to disagree with Henry Kissinger, who believes “We are at the edge of war with Russia and China on issues which we partly created.”
With no hope in the immediate future to “split them off and turn them against each other,” the collective West has two choices: It can either listen to Kissinger and not “accelerate the tensions and … create options,” or it can risk a two-front war that would in effect pit “America against the resources of nearly half of the Eurasian landmass,” as former US diplomat A Wess Mitchell warned in The National Interest magazine last year.
The correct answer to this question will determine whether human civilization will survive or perish in a war the scope of which the world has never seen before.
The last two paragraphs of this article are strong words.
The last sentence implies that the “west” risks a second war if they don’t come to the negotiating table with the countries leading the Vostok 2022 drills.
The primary question is – how is the “west” (NATO? WEF? UN?) going to respond? How is the USA going to respond?
The second question – how serious is this threat and what are the implications of The Vostok 2022 drills. Is this truly a threat to the (new…) world order?
no, the thrust of your question
if it can be called a question
was to deliver a veiled threat

Our teacher asked what my favourite animal was, and I said “Fried chicken”.
She said I wasn’t funny, but she couldn’t have been right, because everyone else laughed.
My parents told me to always tell the truth. I did. Fried chicken is my favourite animal.
I told my dad what happened, and he said my teacher was probably a member of PETA.
He said they love animals very much. I do, too. Especially chicken, pork and beef.
Anyway, my teacher sent me to the principal’s office. I told him what happened, and he laughed, too. Then he told me not to do it again.
The next day in class my teacher asked me what my favourite live animal was. I told her it was chicken. She asked me why, so I told her it was because you could make them into fried chicken.
She sent me back to the principal’s office. He laughed, and told me not to do it again.
I don’t understand. My parents taught me to be honest, but my teacher doesn’t like it when I am.
Today, my teacher asked us to tell her what famous person we admire most.
I told her “Colonel Sanders”.
Guess where I am now…

I am aware this will be an unpopular view in some quarters – namely, quarters full of people who believe that China’s various police forces will descend – via commercial airports and the RAAF bases in Darwin and Katherine – en masse, to begin ‘policing’ the citizenry in their own inscrutable style.
Special Constables exist in every State and Territory (I believe) except Tasmania. The reason is that fuckwits cross borders, so the jacks near State and Territory borders are sworn into the jurisdictions on the other side of those borders. If they’re not close enough to the borders they don;t become Special Constables.
For example: In Victoria, right now, right this minute every jack in Mildura, Robinvale, Echuca, Yarrawonga and Wodonga are NSW Special Constables. The NSW jacks in Albury, Moama and whatever barren wasteland lurks north of Mildura are VicJack Inc Special Constables.
In the NT, and because geography is a factor most of the Alice Springs jacks as well as those in Kulgera to the south and Docker River and Kintore to the west are SA and WA Special Constables. The SA jacks in Marla and WA ones in Warakurna are NT Special Constables.
The ‘foreign country’ bits are for individual cops from other countries – Singapore, PNG and sometimes NZ – who are here on secondments.
Aaaaaand so on. None of this is new, nor surprising. I’ll say it again – this has been the case for 70 years or more.
Seriously though, sound off about it as much as you’d like. As custard would say, it might be a marker.

An 85-year-old man is having his annual check-up.
The doctor asks him how he’s feeling. “I’ve got an 18-year-old bride who’s pregnant with my child. What do you think about that?”
The doctor considers this for a moment, and then says “Well, let me tell you a story. I know a guy who’s an avid hunter. He never misses a season. But one day he’s in a bit of a hurry and he accidentally grabs his umbrella instead of his gun. So he’s walking in the woods near a creek and suddenly spots a beaver in some brush in front of him! He raises up his umbrella, points it at the beaver and squeezed the handle. BAM! The beaver drops dead in front of him”.
“That’s impossible!” says the old man in disbelief “Someone else must have shot that beaver!”
The doctor says “My point exactly”.

Gabor, BHP is a widely held stock, held by many “mum and dad” investors, so we don’t know if receipt of a dividend implies extreme wealth.
Zulu might be celebrating a cash drop which buys him a new Roller, or he might be rejoicing that he can have a schnitty and pot at the RSL and buy a six pack of Johnny Walker and Coke on the way home.
Receiving a dividend does not mean he is Twiggy Forrest.

The pool story sounds a bit flimsy to me. No chance I guess that Betts was asked to leave because he was in the water holding a baby which was liable at any moment to poop or wee in its pants.
