The jury is out whether the vax worked at least for the Alpha strain. There’s reasonable evidence that in fact it did.
Here’s the problem I have with this theory about the Alpha Strain.
Pfizer was first released in the US on or about 11 Dec 2020. It was obviously designed to counter the strain/s up until that point.
The Alpha strain was first detected in the UK around Nov 2020, so the vaccine could not possibly have been designed for that strain.
See where I’m going here? If it did work, it was pure tin arse luck, and not by design. And if it was effective for a strain for which it wasn’t designed, why hasn’t it worked for subsequent strains.
The timings don’t align. If anomalies are evident in the data which points to the vaccine working for Alpha, I’d look reaaaaally closely for other variables which might have been in play.

In remarks to Australia’s Lowy Institute, Mr Zelenskyy said NATO should launch preventive strikes on Russia to preclude its use of nuclear weapons.
Brittany Higgins said allegations published against then Attorney-General Christian Porter prompted her to talk about her “lived experience” with her friends and family.”
The allegations naming Porter didn’t hit the media until February or March last year. So Higgins knew about them in January 2021….before many others. How did she know? Oh I know how. Obviously Samantha Maiden shared the allegations. Maiden, originally an Adelaidian, was involved with the lurid and utterly ridiculous Porter smears. More proof of a conspiracy to attack the Liberals.

A Guy dies and ends up in front of St. Peter at the entrance to heaven.
St. Peter says “Welcome to heaven! You’ve lived a good and decent life; we have to find you a place to live up here. Hop in my golf cart and let’s take a tour of the different subdivisions. Let’s start in the Methodist neighbourhood”.
The neighbourhood is gorgeous; perfectly manicured lawns, each house is distinct but perfectly nice, kids are playing in the yards, people having a picnic in the town square, etc.
The guy goes “This is awesome!” St. Peter says “Yeah, it’s nice, but let’s continue to have a look around”.
Next, St. Peter takes them to the Lutheran subdivision. The same thing, it’s perfect, everything in order, all the homes are nice, the grass is green, everyone waves as they pass through in their golf carts and seem so friendly etc.
Again, the guy goes “This is great, it’s perfect!”
St. Peter continues to show him different neighbourhoods all afternoon and they are all in the same perfect condition, each one just as nice as the last.
The guy goes “They’re all great, I can’t decide”.
St. Peter says “One last neighbourhood to show”.
They end up at a huge wall, as tall as the eye can see. St. Peter and the guy climb and climb and finally reach the top and peer over. It’s the same thing as before; awesome idyllic neighbourhood, kids laughing and playing, people enjoying each other’s company etc.
The guy says “It’s great too, just like the other neighbourhoods, but why the giant wall?” St. Peter goes “Well, this is the Catholic neighbourhood. They like to think they’re the only ones up here”.

Acquaintances of one my sisters are from Ukraine, and they still have relatives and friends over there.
When someone suggested to them something along the lines that “hopefully someone will bump off Putin”, these Ukrainians were horrified, and replied, “oh no, then he’ll be replaced by someone much worse!”
Indeed. Putin is currently the hub of an oligarchic system of interrelated ‘clans’ and whilst he is undoubtedly the dominant figure as the arbiter, moderator and has the final say, some of the clans, particularly within Defence and the FSB, are far more hardline. Putin is a master manipulator and has maintained his power by forcing compromises and sometimes setting clans against one another.
To be clear, I’m not saying Putin is a good guy or that I wish him a long life, but be careful what you wish for. Putin’s demise could see one of these hardline clans ascend to power and the whole structure of Russian politics and global behaviour would change overnight – and not for the better.
What’s the solution? I don’t know, but we can be far from assured that a ‘liberal’ will assume the dominant role. Putin’s demise will be very tense time for the world until we know who has risen to take his place.
As far as I know, the first known virus was simply called Covid. All the variants were alpha, beta, delta came later. I understand the vax was developed particularly for alpha.

According to Reuters, the Biden administration plans next month to broaden curbs on U.S shipments to China of semiconductors used for artificial intelligence and chip-making tools.

Yes, Peter Stolypin, Tsar Nicholas’ last competent minister, was regarded by some as a liberal, a Russian liberal who was utterly ruthless in dealing with political dissidents, so much so that the nooses used to execute opponents of the Tsarist regime were given the nickname “Stolypin’s neckties”.

Two Russians flee by boat to Alaska to avoid military service in Ukraine
By Becky Bohrer
October 7, 2022 — 10.39am
Juneau, Alaska: Two Russians who said they fled the country to avoid compulsory military service have requested asylum in the US after landing on a remote Alaska island in the Bering Sea, Alaska US Senator Lisa Murkowski’s office said on Thursday.
Karina Borger, a spokesperson for Murkowski, said by email that the office has been in communication with the US Coast Guard and Customs and Border Protection and that “the Russian nationals reported that they fled one of the coastal communities on the east coast of Russia to avoid compulsory military service”.
I should also add that if this war in Ukraine was happening under Donald Trump’s watch, I can guarantee you that neither commentators would be supporting the USA or the West.

Cassie, it’s pretty much the one thing I’ve been trying to get through to people from the start. Putin IS the moderate everyone is dreaming of. The idea it’s going to be rainbows and fairy floss is he was killed or otherwise disappeared is completely unrealistic.
I keep getting the same sort of reactions though, get called a vatnik, Russia supporter etc. etc. Very few people admit there might be a legitimate concern for the Russians, or that they might actually have decided diplomacy was achieving nothing and done something about it.
It’s the difference between how people want the world to be, and the reality of what the world is.

We can see with 20/20 hindsight, he didn’t stand a chance of doing it. Not during his tenure. Sure , he exposed it and put up a tremendous fight. But it’s just too big, too deep and too powerful.
BUT cracks are appearing and there are some up and comers that may do the deep state more serious damage. We’ll have to wait and see. Elon’s twitter might be helpful to that end. While the FBI/CIA/IRS et all remain weaponised under leftist controlled , I don’t see much real change though.

Serpentsa has a quite good video up on this topic, his main point is that it’s relatively easy to copy designs, but often it’s incredibly difficult to copy the processes that make those designs work. This is what the CCP are facing in the chip industry.
He used an example to illustrate this that is reasonably well known. Until quite recently, all balls in Chinese made ball point pens were imported. They couldn’t make the balls anywhere near as good as others. They did have local manufacturers, but even the CCP admitted that their balls were shit.
After a massive R&D effort and huge spending, the CCP can now make balls that aren’t completely inferior.

Serpentsa has a quite good video up on this topic, his main point is that it’s relatively easy to copy designs, but often it’s incredibly difficult to copy the processes that make those designs work.
xactly. Metallurgy, materials, assembly processes, adhesives, contamination, secret ingredients, tolerance stackups.. all this stuff is where your real IP value lives.
Masks on an IC are easy to copy. The etch and implant processes, and thermal steps amongst other things – not so much.

Instapundit’s Glenn Reynolds occasionally comments about his Starlink experience. He reports much the same.
I’m currently getting 30208 kbps via NBN (says my modem just now), which ain’t bad since I’m only actually paying for 25Mbps. So Starlink would be much better, except I don’t really need the speed.

Mc, to beg the question is to assume you already know the answer. For example, to ask if m0nty is a scurrilous fuckwit. To raise a question is to ask a question where you don’t already know the answer. Question begging comes from old style logic, where it is regarded as a dishonest mode of argument.

Explained: How to navigate the A-Z of modern sexuality
Claudia ConnellDaily Mail
October 7, 2022 12:30PM
There was a time when the number of sexual orientations could be counted on one hand.
But in today’s ever-diverse society there are now dozens of sexualities by which people identify.
One of those grabbed the headlines this week when a royal navy engineer in the UK denied sexually assaulting a male colleague. Able Seaman Triss Smythe (who uses the pronouns they/them) told a court-martial that they could not have done it, since they were “demisexual”.
This, they explained, means they need to form a strong emotional bond with anyone before they could even begin to think about sexual contact.
The 23-year-old was cleared yesterday.
It’s just one of many terms that you may not have heard of.
So, for those wanting to navigate modern sexuality, here is your A-Z guide to the myriad sexualities people claim in 2022.
ABROSEXUAL
This is a person whose sexuality is in a permanent state of flux. One day they could be heterosexual, the next homosexual or asexual (someone who does not experience sexual attraction to anyone). Not to be confused with pansexual (see below), in fact an abrosexual can, if the mood takes them, also be pansexual.
A — Androsexual
Somebody of any sex or gender who is sexually and romantically attracted to masculinity. But — just to make things more interesting — that masculinity does necessarily have to be displayed by a man.
Autosexual/Autoromantic
If you’re autosexual then you are sexually attracted and aroused by your own body and have a desire to have sex with yourself. Autosexuals are attracted to others — but not as much as they are attracted to themselves. An autoromantic, on the other hand, is romantically, but not necessarily sexually, attracted to themselves. Autoromantics often develop crushes on themselves and buy themselves romantic gifts — especially on Valentine’s day.
B — BAMBI LESBIAN
In a previous generation this person would simply have been asexual, but not today.
Nowadays, a Bambi Lesbian is a woman who identifies as gay but prefers not to be sexually active. However, she does like displays of affection such as hugs, kisses and hand-holding. The word bambi is often used in the LGBTQ community to imply playfulness, and a preference for affection over sexual engagement.
Bioromantic
Those coming under this umbrella feel romantic and emotional connections to more than one gender. Many bioromantics are asexual (not sexually active) and the attraction they feel is not sexually charged.
Bt — this is where it gets a bit complicated — bisexuals (those attracted to more than one gender and sexually active) can also be bioromantic.
C — CETEROSEXUAL
Somebody who is attracted to transgender (those who identify as a sex other than the one they were born as) and non-binary people (those that don’t identify as any gender) and occasionally cisgender people (those who identify as their biological sex).
A ceterosexual may be trans or non-binary themselves — but not necessarily.
In other words, they’re what most of us would call open-minded.
Cupiosexual
LIke asexuals, cupiosexuals are not usually sexually attracted to anybody. Unlike asexuals they still desire to be in a sexual relationship, despite rarely having the mojo to do anything about it.
D — DEMISEXUAL
As claimed by Able Seaman Smythe, a demisexual is somebody who only becomes sexual ly attracted to somebody after developing a deep, emotional attachment to them.
They might also be demiromantic, meaning they also can’t develop romantic feelings until a strong connection has been established.
E —ESTHESIOSEXUAL
TakIng its name from the greek for touch, an esthesiosexual can be of any sexual persuasion, but they are more turned on by sensual touch than traditional sex.
An esthesiosexual might be a good match for a greysexual (see below).
F — FINSEXUAL
Remember our androsexual friends from earlier?
Well, this is the feminine equivalent: people of any gender who are attracted to femininity, although — you guessed it — not necessarily in a woman.
There is no repentance in the woild we exist in.
Just death to those that deserve (and indeed are begging for) it and the righteous frisson that is gifted to those justly dishing it out. 🙂
We could have colonised space decades ago.
Thanks to collectivists, we’ll be existing (briefly) in conditions akin to those suffered by medieval peasants in the dark ages.
Unless, we get out there and go nookular on their backsides.

Q is off the pace.
Technically, question begging needn’t involve a question at all. The argument:
“Immoral nazi arseholes should be punched in the face. Therefore m0nty should be punched in the face” begs the question of whether m0nty is an immoral nazi arsehole. Opinions may differ, but it needs to be included as a premiss before the argument is logically complete.

Personally, I’m convenientsexual.
If I’m horny, you need to give me sex. If I’m accused of sexual impropriety, I’m nonsexual so I couldn’t have dunnit, and otherwise I’m hotsexual, which makes hot chicks responsible for getting me off.
Three totally different definitions that all mean it’s someone else’s fault. What a convenient ideology.

mUttley considers himself to be part of a collective. nazis are collectivists.
Therefore mUttley should be punched in his ample bloated visage by normal members of society at every available opportunity and then some (to be sure, to be sure). In the vain hope that it might finally attempt to engage whatever remaining grey matter is still bouncing around in its thick empty skull.

Which Cat was it recently having a spit about the bank making it difficult to use your own money?

If I wanted to do a level swap of cash for cash, fine. Withdrawal; No.
They are “not approved” to transact such a withdrawal***
They helpfully suggested I should come back on Monday when the branch manager “might” be in****
*A business taking a large amount of cash on Friday for weekend change is a perfectly normal & regular part of banking.
**Always have to ask if the branch has the cash, as sometimes they do not have enough.

What the Trafalgar poll showed in NY state was the the GOP chap running for Governor (the guy who was attacked) is within 2% of the DNC bird.
Now there is zero chance of him winning.
But when a state wide poll goes like it means the chance of flipping house seats becomes not just a chance, but more of a probability.
If the GOP are looking at flipping seats in NY state it sets the stage.

Lee Edward Lankester and Monique Leonie Kerr fined for stealing $700 of sex toys from adult store

A Bunbury couple have been fined for stealing more than $700 worth of sex toys from an adult store in the South West.
Lee Edward Lankester and Monique Leonie Kerr appeared in Bunbury Magistrates Court on Thursday where they admitted to a count of stealing each after the incident earlier this year.
At 3.30pm on July 14, the pair entered Bunbury’s Adultshop.com store on Spencer Street in the CBD where they stayed for an hour and a half.
During this time, the couple was seen taking products off the shelves, removing the packaging and stuffing the items down their pants before leaving the store and making no attempt to pay.
The actions were captured on CCTV cameras, with the stolen goods totalling $729.10.
Four days later, police arrested the couple at their home address and took them to Bunbury Police Station for an interview, where the court was told they made full admissions to the crime.

The Russians are mobilising, and that incudes the nuclear strike capability. Redacted is reporting that the US has admitted to having boots on the ground in Ukraine. Also the Russians have commenced air strikes on the Ukrainian troops around the Kherson, and this will no doubt provoke US empowered retaliation and SAM strikes.

That’s for one goat. For two or more, multiply the damage exponentially.

Seems FTB agrees with me
I’m thinking the Andrew Thorburn affair could have materially damaged Andrews’ chances of winning the election in November and simultaneously wounded AFL woke-world.
For Andrews to assert that to believe that the religious prohibitions of sodomy, which all the major religions adhere to, is to be homophobic, has probably put off a very significant percentage of the Victorian believing electorate.
In fact, as a Roman Catholic, he knows full well that there is a huge difference between the sinner and the sin, but which he has conveniently ignored in his outburst.
Why? To strengthen support for the Liars in the inner city green-leaning seats? Because it can’t have helped him out in the suburbs.
As to the AFL – if Thorburn sues the Dons, the AFL can’t maintain that “smell of roses” while being the main instigator of the diversity and inclusion round that the clubs have to sign up to.
I can see it now:
Essendon: “they made us show no inclusion and diversity to that group of homophobes, yr honour!”
And how will all those card-carrying, believing members and supporters feel, now they know what their sport, their club and their premier really thinks of them?
It’s a bit like cheating at something: until you’re caught, it’s hidden.

Three Aussie guys all go to a building site in London answering to an advert for brickies.
The foreman asks them if they each can each build a small wall out of a pile of bricks outside the foreman’s office. They oblige, the foreman checks on them and confirms that the work was a high enough standard, so he decides to hire all three.
He figures he better do a health and safety check but since he is desperate for workers, he decides to make it pretty simple and just asks each of them a simple question: “What would you do if you were up a scaffolding and dropped a brick?”
The first Aussie says “Shout *FALLING BRICK!* to warn anyone working below me”. The foreman replies “That’s fine, you’re hired, go up that scaffolding and get to work”.
The second Aussie replies “I would shout *FALLING BRICK, WATCH OUT BELOW!* to warn those below me”. The foreman replies “Good good, you’re also hired, go up that scaffolding and get on with the job”.
The third Aussie however has a pretty bad stutter and replies “I w-w-w-w-would also shout *F-F-F-F-F-Falling B-B-B-B-Brick!* as a w-w-w-warning to others”. Now the foreman realises this could be a bit of an issue but since he is desperate for workers just tells the lad to be careful and not drop anything.
Within an hour the first Aussie drops a brick and shouts down *FALLING BRICK!* and everyone below got out of the way without a problem.
Later on the second guy also drops a brick and shouts down *FALLING BRICK, WATCH OUT BELOW!* and once again everyone below moved out of the way without any issues.
Eventually the third guy also drops a brick and begins to shout “F-F-F-F-F-F…”
… but as he is still shouting, the brick falls and hits an Englishman right in the head, killing him outright…
“…ucking B-B-B-beauty!!!!”

Cassie, it’s pretty much the one thing I’ve been trying to get through to people from the start. Putin IS the moderate everyone is dreaming of. The idea it’s going to be rainbows and fairy floss is he was killed or otherwise disappeared is completely unrealistic.
I keep getting the same sort of reactions though, get called a vatnik, Russia supporter etc. etc. Very few people admit there might be a legitimate concern for the Russians, or that they might actually have decided diplomacy was achieving nothing and done something about it.
It’s the difference between how people want the world to be, and the reality of what the world is.
Putin may have been a moderate before he started the war, but he’s not one now. What more could a replacement do, apart from drop a nuke? He’s already started a mobilisation and devoted 20% of Russia’s GDP to it, it’s not as if there is a cigarette paper’s difference between him and some random Mad Pyotr.
Any thought of Putin having a legitimate beef with Europe about their moves to discourage him from invading countries were snuffed out when he started the invasion. He kind of proved them right, didn’t he? Turns out he actually was a threat that they should have made moves to counter.

Bernard Cornwell, a descendent of the eleventh century Uhtred the Bold of Bamburgh Castle, drew upon this Uhtred’s life to create the earlier ninth century Uhtred of Bebbenburg in his saga The Last Kingdom, recently turned into a long-running set of TV series about the creation of Engalande prior to Athelstan’s final victory (a film is now being made to place Cornwell’s Uhtred in this). The tale of the seven severed heads is repeated in this series, drawing on Uhtred the Bold’s life, being thus placed anachronistically in Cornwell’s books as well as by the TV series. From Calli’s link above, a similar tale has also been part of C16th and C17th historic Scottish clan warfare. Seven is a sacral number, which probably explains the common numeric identification.
The taking of heads was prominent in earlier tribal cultures in Britain. In Lancaster a Roman tombstone fairly recently found covering a drain depicts a second century Centurian in full panoply on horseback going native, not only on this ‘riter’ style of tombstone crushing underfoot a Brythonic barbarian but also having gathered five barbarian heads strung together over the back of his horse. Cutting off heads and putting them on a pole was part of legal punishment until at least the early seventeenth century. Elizabeth the First did a lot of it to her favorites as well as foes. The wonderful Irish war song ‘Follow me up to Carlow’ speaks of cutting off an opponents Tudor head and ‘sending it back to Queen Lisa and her ladies’.
Islamic cultures, witness the lamentable Islamic State, also did some head chopping in our times. Indeed, women and their children paraded the desire to do some more on placards not long ago in Sydney’s streets. Nor will I ever forget seeing videos of men being decapitated by a river in the contested Middle East during those dreadful times and the men’s bodies falling into the water as their heads were held aloft. It was always a murderous custom.
As was hanging. In the past tense, Odin ‘hung’ on the World Tree and it continued on from there. Strangling was part of the ‘triple death’ of the Bronze Age, as seen in bog bodies and recounted in tales of Merlin (Odin). Hanging has been the mode of capital punishment in British law especially since head-taking lost favour. My border-riever grandfather never referred to being ‘hanged, drawn and quartered’, btw. It was always, in his words that flowed so easily off the tongue, ‘thee’ll be hung, drawn and quartered’ whenever a sheep-stealing misdemeanor, or any misdemeanor of mine, was the reference. Common enough parlance to have the sting of ancient remembrance about it in his day.
I see from one of BB’s comments on a previous page that Brittney (Australian of the Year -pending) was approached by Pirate Pete about a book deal before she even spoke to the police.
No doubt Pete will get his crack team of researchers on the case and will provide his own inimitable embellishments.
And no doubt Brittney’s indignation will soar up to eleventy when she reads the book and discovers to her horror new details of the event that she had not known.
Imagine her outrage (outrageously outrageous outrage) when she learns that Lehrmann also ushered in the entire Cabinet to have their way with her; how they urinated and defecated on her inert body, how they dragged her into the basement of Parliament House where they took her newborn baby (innocent issue of the night’s savagery), and Tony Abbott and John Howard ritually killed it. They all drank the blood, even forcing Brittany to drink as well.
Brittney will be the loveable hero, possessed of a free and unbroken spirit, too pure for the world she was to enter into. She looked at the stunted and malformed ogres of the Liberal Party, but all she saw was people needing help.
The Libs will be a melding of 19th and 20th century British toffs with things like “tally-ho” and “I say” tripping constantly from their tongues, a haughty cabal concealing their grasping, calculating, and corrupted natures beneath layers of scented linen, silk, and brocade, with flashing medals and sparkling jewellery – all trophies of past successful campaigns won with other people’s blood.
Then we will have the likes of Bruce, one of an army of foul emissaries, intermediaries that transmit the will of the Liberal cabal upon the real world. Stripped of humanity, motivated solely by greed and malice, and a wish to one day be received into the cabal, there will be no deed so low he will not stoop to it, and when the command is given to get rid of ‘the virginal upstart’, he will know exactly what to do.
This will be a boon for Pirate Pete. To date he market niche has been kids who need to buy a present for their Dads but have no idea what they want but don’t yet have – in the ‘bargain bin’ price range.
This will open the door to ‘My daughter is a middle-class undergraduate feminist gender studies uni student’ market.
Some titles for the jaded:

The Golden Girls: they were wheat gypsies who ploughed and picked during the day and at night reaped another harvest of sensuous delights.

Cotton Tramps: a story of lust on a plantation; more than one crop would be picked that year.
Here’s the problem I have with this theory about the Alpha Strain.
Pfizer was first released in the US on or about 11 Dec 2020. It was obviously designed to counter the strain/s up until that point.
The Alpha strain was first detected in the UK around Nov 2020, so the vaccine could not possibly have been designed for that strain.
See where I’m going here? If it did work, it was pure tin arse luck, and not by design. And if it was effective for a strain for which it wasn’t designed, why hasn’t it worked for subsequent strains.
The timings don’t align. If anomalies are evident in the data which points to the vaccine working for Alpha, I’d look reaaaaally closely for other variables which might have been in play.

“Porter allegations prompted Higgins’ conversations
Remy Varga
REMY VARGA
Brittany Higgins said allegations published against then Attorney-General Christian Porter prompted her to talk about her “lived experience” with her friends and family.”
The allegations naming Porter didn’t hit the media until February or March last year. So Higgins knew about them in January 2021….before many others. How did she know? Oh I know how. Obviously Samantha Maiden shared the allegations. Maiden, originally an Adelaidian, was involved with the lurid and utterly ridiculous Porter smears. More proof of a conspiracy to attack the Liberals.
This whole trial is a disgrace.
A Guy dies and ends up in front of St. Peter at the entrance to heaven.
St. Peter says “Welcome to heaven! You’ve lived a good and decent life; we have to find you a place to live up here. Hop in my golf cart and let’s take a tour of the different subdivisions. Let’s start in the Methodist neighbourhood”.
The neighbourhood is gorgeous; perfectly manicured lawns, each house is distinct but perfectly nice, kids are playing in the yards, people having a picnic in the town square, etc.
The guy goes “This is awesome!” St. Peter says “Yeah, it’s nice, but let’s continue to have a look around”.
Next, St. Peter takes them to the Lutheran subdivision. The same thing, it’s perfect, everything in order, all the homes are nice, the grass is green, everyone waves as they pass through in their golf carts and seem so friendly etc.
Again, the guy goes “This is great, it’s perfect!”
St. Peter continues to show him different neighbourhoods all afternoon and they are all in the same perfect condition, each one just as nice as the last.
The guy goes “They’re all great, I can’t decide”.
St. Peter says “One last neighbourhood to show”.
They end up at a huge wall, as tall as the eye can see. St. Peter and the guy climb and climb and finally reach the top and peer over. It’s the same thing as before; awesome idyllic neighbourhood, kids laughing and playing, people enjoying each other’s company etc.
The guy says “It’s great too, just like the other neighbourhoods, but why the giant wall?” St. Peter goes “Well, this is the Catholic neighbourhood. They like to think they’re the only ones up here”.

Acquaintances of one my sisters are from Ukraine, and they still have relatives and friends over there.
When someone suggested to them something along the lines that “hopefully someone will bump off Putin”, these Ukrainians were horrified, and replied, “oh no, then he’ll be replaced by someone much worse!”
Indeed. Putin is currently the hub of an oligarchic system of interrelated ‘clans’ and whilst he is undoubtedly the dominant figure as the arbiter, moderator and has the final say, some of the clans, particularly within Defence and the FSB, are far more hardline. Putin is a master manipulator and has maintained his power by forcing compromises and sometimes setting clans against one another.
To be clear, I’m not saying Putin is a good guy or that I wish him a long life, but be careful what you wish for. Putin’s demise could see one of these hardline clans ascend to power and the whole structure of Russian politics and global behaviour would change overnight – and not for the better.
What’s the solution? I don’t know, but we can be far from assured that a ‘liberal’ will assume the dominant role. Putin’s demise will be very tense time for the world until we know who has risen to take his place.

The unhinged radicalism of Russian ‘liberals’ contributed greatly to the rise of Lenin.

Yes, Peter Stolypin, Tsar Nicholas’ last competent minister, was regarded by some as a liberal, a Russian liberal who was utterly ruthless in dealing with political dissidents, so much so that the nooses used to execute opponents of the Tsarist regime were given the nickname “Stolypin’s neckties”.

Yep. Zhirinovsky was an ultranationalist (emphasis on ultra) and also leader of the Liberal Democratic Party of Russia. He said he was “the last hope of a cheated and humiliated people” and promised to bring “Russia up off its knees”. So yes, not the kind of ‘liberal’ that most ordinarily think of. I very much doubt he would have embraced the West and allowed gay marriage etc. (hahahahaha)

I don’t take the commentary on Ukraine/Russia from Monty the Fascist and DaStink seriously. Ukraine is just Monty’s current obsession, two month’s ago it was “abortion, abortion, abortion”…now it’s “Ukraine, Ukraine, Ukraine”…as for DaStink, well anyone that smears people here as “far-right” and “Putinists” doesn’t warrant any respect. I should also add that if this war in Ukraine was happening under Donald Trump’s watch, I can guarantee you that neither commentators would be supporting the USA or the West.

I keep getting the same sort of reactions though, get called a vatnik, Russia supporter etc. etc. Very few people admit there might be a legitimate concern for the Russians, or that they might actually have decided diplomacy was achieving nothing and done something about it.
It’s the difference between how people want the world to be, and the reality of what the world is.

Serpentsa has a quite good video up on this topic, his main point is that it’s relatively easy to copy designs, but often it’s incredibly difficult to copy the processes that make those designs work. This is what the CCP are facing in the chip industry.
He used an example to illustrate this that is reasonably well known. Until quite recently, all balls in Chinese made ball point pens were imported. They couldn’t make the balls anywhere near as good as others. They did have local manufacturers, but even the CCP admitted that their balls were shit.
After a massive R&D effort and huge spending, the CCP can now make balls that aren’t completely inferior.

Mc, to beg the question is to assume you already know the answer. For example, to ask if m0nty is a scurrilous fuckwit. To raise a question is to ask a question where you don’t already know the answer. Question begging comes from old style logic, where it is regarded as a dishonest mode of argument.

What the Trafalgar poll showed in NY state was the the GOP chap running for Governor (the guy who was attacked) is within 2% of the DNC bird.
Now there is zero chance of him winning.
But when a state wide poll goes like it means the chance of flipping house seats becomes not just a chance, but more of a probability.
If the GOP are looking at flipping seats in NY state it sets the stage.

Seems FTB agrees with me
I’m thinking the Andrew Thorburn affair could have materially damaged Andrews’ chances of winning the election in November and simultaneously wounded AFL woke-world.
For Andrews to assert that to believe that the religious prohibitions of sodomy, which all the major religions adhere to, is to be homophobic, has probably put off a very significant percentage of the Victorian believing electorate.
In fact, as a Roman Catholic, he knows full well that there is a huge difference between the sinner and the sin, but which he has conveniently ignored in his outburst.
Why? To strengthen support for the Liars in the inner city green-leaning seats? Because it can’t have helped him out in the suburbs.
As to the AFL – if Thorburn sues the Dons, the AFL can’t maintain that “smell of roses” while being the main instigator of the diversity and inclusion round that the clubs have to sign up to.
I can see it now:
Essendon: “they made us show no inclusion and diversity to that group of homophobes, yr honour!”
And how will all those card-carrying, believing members and supporters feel, now they know what their sport, their club and their premier really thinks of them?

Three Aussie guys all go to a building site in London answering to an advert for brickies.
The foreman asks them if they each can each build a small wall out of a pile of bricks outside the foreman’s office. They oblige, the foreman checks on them and confirms that the work was a high enough standard, so he decides to hire all three.
He figures he better do a health and safety check but since he is desperate for workers, he decides to make it pretty simple and just asks each of them a simple question: “What would you do if you were up a scaffolding and dropped a brick?”
The first Aussie says “Shout *FALLING BRICK!* to warn anyone working below me”. The foreman replies “That’s fine, you’re hired, go up that scaffolding and get to work”.
The second Aussie replies “I would shout *FALLING BRICK, WATCH OUT BELOW!* to warn those below me”. The foreman replies “Good good, you’re also hired, go up that scaffolding and get on with the job”.
The third Aussie however has a pretty bad stutter and replies “I w-w-w-w-would also shout *F-F-F-F-F-Falling B-B-B-B-Brick!* as a w-w-w-warning to others”. Now the foreman realises this could be a bit of an issue but since he is desperate for workers just tells the lad to be careful and not drop anything.
Within an hour the first Aussie drops a brick and shouts down *FALLING BRICK!* and everyone below got out of the way without a problem.
Later on the second guy also drops a brick and shouts down *FALLING BRICK, WATCH OUT BELOW!* and once again everyone below moved out of the way without any issues.
Eventually the third guy also drops a brick and begins to shout “F-F-F-F-F-F…”
… but as he is still shouting, the brick falls and hits an Englishman right in the head, killing him outright…

Putin may have been a moderate before he started the war, but he’s not one now. What more could a replacement do, apart from drop a nuke? He’s already started a mobilisation and devoted 20% of Russia’s GDP to it, it’s not as if there is a cigarette paper’s difference between him and some random Mad Pyotr.
Any thought of Putin having a legitimate beef with Europe about their moves to discourage him from invading countries were snuffed out when he started the invasion. He kind of proved them right, didn’t he? Turns out he actually was a threat that they should have made moves to counter.
Bernard Cornwell, a descendent of the eleventh century Uhtred the Bold of Bamburgh Castle, drew upon this Uhtred’s life to create the earlier ninth century Uhtred of Bebbenburg in his saga The Last Kingdom, recently turned into a long-running set of TV series about the creation of Engalande prior to Athelstan’s final victory (a film is now being made to place Cornwell’s Uhtred in this). The tale of the seven severed heads is repeated in this series, drawing on Uhtred the Bold’s life, being thus placed anachronistically in Cornwell’s books as well as by the TV series. From Calli’s link above, a similar tale has also been part of C16th and C17th historic Scottish clan warfare. Seven is a sacral number, which probably explains the common numeric identification.
The taking of heads was prominent in earlier tribal cultures in Britain. In Lancaster a Roman tombstone fairly recently found covering a drain depicts a second century Centurian in full panoply on horseback going native, not only on this ‘riter’ style of tombstone crushing underfoot a Brythonic barbarian but also having gathered five barbarian heads strung together over the back of his horse. Cutting off heads and putting them on a pole was part of legal punishment until at least the early seventeenth century. Elizabeth the First did a lot of it to her favorites as well as foes. The wonderful Irish war song ‘Follow me up to Carlow’ speaks of cutting off an opponents Tudor head and ‘sending it back to Queen Lisa and her ladies’.
Islamic cultures, witness the lamentable Islamic State, also did some head chopping in our times. Indeed, women and their children paraded the desire to do some more on placards not long ago in Sydney’s streets. Nor will I ever forget seeing videos of men being decapitated by a river in the contested Middle East during those dreadful times and the men’s bodies falling into the water as their heads were held aloft. It was always a murderous custom.
As was hanging. In the past tense, Odin ‘hung’ on the World Tree and it continued on from there. Strangling was part of the ‘triple death’ of the Bronze Age, as seen in bog bodies and recounted in tales of Merlin (Odin). Hanging has been the mode of capital punishment in British law especially since head-taking lost favour. My border-riever grandfather never referred to being ‘hanged, drawn and quartered’, btw. It was always, in his words that flowed so easily off the tongue, ‘thee’ll be hung, drawn and quartered’ whenever a sheep-stealing misdemeanor, or any misdemeanor of mine, was the reference. Common enough parlance to have the sting of ancient remembrance about it in his day.
“Follow me up to Carlow”
I see from one of BB’s comments on a previous page that Brittney (Australian of the Year -pending) was approached by Pirate Pete about a book deal before she even spoke to the police.
No doubt Pete will get his crack team of researchers on the case and will provide his own inimitable embellishments.
And no doubt Brittney’s indignation will soar up to eleventy when she reads the book and discovers to her horror new details of the event that she had not known.
Imagine her outrage (outrageously outrageous outrage) when she learns that Lehrmann also ushered in the entire Cabinet to have their way with her; how they urinated and defecated on her inert body, how they dragged her into the basement of Parliament House where they took her newborn baby (innocent issue of the night’s savagery), and Tony Abbott and John Howard ritually killed it. They all drank the blood, even forcing Brittany to drink as well.
Brittney will be the loveable hero, possessed of a free and unbroken spirit, too pure for the world she was to enter into. She looked at the stunted and malformed ogres of the Liberal Party, but all she saw was people needing help.
The Libs will be a melding of 19th and 20th century British toffs with things like “tally-ho” and “I say” tripping constantly from their tongues, a haughty cabal concealing their grasping, calculating, and corrupted natures beneath layers of scented linen, silk, and brocade, with flashing medals and sparkling jewellery – all trophies of past successful campaigns won with other people’s blood.
Then we will have the likes of Bruce, one of an army of foul emissaries, intermediaries that transmit the will of the Liberal cabal upon the real world. Stripped of humanity, motivated solely by greed and malice, and a wish to one day be received into the cabal, there will be no deed so low he will not stoop to it, and when the command is given to get rid of ‘the virginal upstart’, he will know exactly what to do.
This will be a boon for Pirate Pete. To date he market niche has been kids who need to buy a present for their Dads but have no idea what they want but don’t yet have – in the ‘bargain bin’ price range.
This will open the door to ‘My daughter is a middle-class undergraduate feminist gender studies uni student’ market.
