Once I stated loudly from the plaintiff’s table in a NSW courtroom: “I’m glad I’m not a New South Welshman” as the Magistrate departed the room.

Yesterday or the day before, you posed the most interesting comment ( likely the only one) you’ve ever posted on any Cat.

You asked why were the Twitter folks now opposing the Musk purchase. I thought about it but haven’t read anyone to concur with me.

I believe there were two stipulations demanded by Twitter to agree with the sale.
1. Trump could never again be allowed back on Twitter.
2. I forget the other one, but I think management wanted exclusive rights to who was kicked off the site.

Musk is not agreeing to either.

How fucking dumb are Twatter management?
There are two possible bad outcomes for management:-
.1 Musk takes over on his conditions and rissoles senior management; or
.2 The takeover fails because of those two demands. The share price then falls back from $54 to the recent price ($38-ish) and the dudded shareholders start baying for management blood.

Indeed, but it was also a failure (the bridge is operating again within 24 hrs) and depraved act by the UKR, if, as it appears, they engaged a driver unawares to transport a bomb onto a bridge that would kill the driver and any other civilian in the near vicinity.

I doubt that the driver was unaware, it was most likely a suicide mission. The bomb exploded on the road traffic bridge just when the train was passing on the adjacent railway bridge, it’s highly unlikely to have been a coincidence.

US / Ukraine have recruited ISIS volunteers to fight the Russians, they despise the Russians for stopping their efforts in Syria. This was most likely an ISIS suicide attack.

It was not closed to civilian use, monty. Anyone looking at the video can see civilians were using the bridge at the time of the explosion. It’s a terrorist operation because they planted a bomb on a civilian lorry they had engaged to transport fertilizer across from Krasnodar to Crimea, and detonating it at a point on the bridge where fuel cars on the rail carriage would be adjacent, killing the driver and two others in a passenger vehicle that had the misfortune of being next to the lorry.

The explosion went up not down, allegedly. All possibilities for the method and protagonist are still open. As with Nord Stream, it’s most likely the Ukes doing some underwater skulduggery but it’s a wide open field.

They don’t have the sophisticated checks on the Krasnodar side that they do on the Crimean. It’s just a physical inspection by police. Given the size of the lorry, an 18-wheeler by the looks, the explosives were likely well hidden by other cargo.

If that is indeed the way it went down, what a massive failure by the Russians and huge win for the Ukes. Right under their noses, like something out of Hogan’s Heroes.

Indeed, but it was also a failure (the bridge is operating again within 24 hrs) and depraved act by the UKR, if, as it appears, they engaged a driver unawares to transport a bomb onto a bridge that would kill the driver and any other civilian in the near vicinity.

There were four lines, two rail and two road. The explosion knocked out one rail and one road. The other two were up and running within 24 hours, but you’d think they would have reduced capacity compared to what went before, for at least another couple of months. Just enough time for Ukraine to finish up its pre-winter offensive.

Good recent paper by Scafetta showing the climate models make as much sense as a green protestor with glue on their hands:

https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s00382-022-06493-w.pdf?mc_cid=65e057122a&mc_eid=170323d89f

Scafetta’s latest work grouped 38 major climate models into low, medium and high ECS values, ranging between 1.8°C and 5.7°C. He found that models in the medium and high category “ran hot” in over 95% and 97% of cases respectively. The lower models were said to have done better when compared to global warming calculated for the period by the major surface datasets of 0.52-0.58°C. But the UAH satellite data showed warming up to 30% less during this period, suggesting even the low warming models produced “excessive warming” from 1980-2021.

According to Scafetta, these results are showed that the ECS figure could be as low as 1.2-2°C. Particular concern is expressed about surface temperature records that “appear to be severely affected by non-climatic warming biases”. Scafetta concludes that surface-based temperature records are likely to be affected by warming biases, such as the urban heat island effect due to expanding urban development, and subject to natural oscillations that are not reproduced by climate models. He concludes: “The global warming expected for the next few decades may be even more moderate than predicted by the low ECS-GCMs [Global Circulation Models], and could easily fall within a safe temperature range where climate adaptation policies will suffice.”

So, scumbag trannies reading porn to children is not about the corruption of the children but about the rights of those freaks.

C I was in vinnies getting some books, a young lady, very fetching, looked at me tussled her hair, smiled. I was the only one present.

I’m sitting at a table on the verandah of my local pub, with a glass, reading, waiting for my meal. A rather fetching lass stopped by “What was I reading? Interesting? Would I recommend the title?” Her father’s birthday was approaching and she wanted to give him an interesting book. The young men of the town were perplexed. “She won’t have anything to with us, and she’s talking to some old guy about BOOKS!”

The daughter of convicted wife killer Chris Dawson has sensationally revealed that under hypnosis she remembered her father digging a grave for her mother.

Shanelle Dawson – Lyn and Chris Dawson’s oldest daughter, who was four years old when her mother vanished in January 1982 – said in an interview last night that she recalled her father digging near the family swimming pool at Bayview, on Sydney’s northern beaches.

She told Channel 9’s 60 Minutes current affairs program: “I believe I saw my sister (Sherryn, aged two at the time) and I in the back of a car, of our station wagon, and my mother slumped in the front. I believe I saw him shining headlights on a spot near the pool and digging. I believe that he buried her in that spot for that night, and then the next day when he didn’t have us kids, moved her somewhere else.”

and

Last night, Ms Dawson said in the interview that she despised her father’s lies.

“I could see that he was manipulative and gas lighting us all the time,” she said. “My father definitely embodies the survival of the fittest, f–k everyone else. Just do what you need to do to get what you want. And I feel a lot of anger and rage towards him for being that way, but I simultaneously feel compassion and sadness that he is that way.”

Ms Dawson said of the disturbing memories stemming from hypnosis that she believed those recollections to be true.

“It was like I regressed back to a four-and-a-half-year-old kind of thing, but I was still there and present in the room, listening to myself,” she said.

“And I guess people could question what’s in my subconscious. How much is that created? How much is that actual memory?”

Higgins to face intense scrutiny as rape trial resumes
Kristin Shorten
Investigative Journalist
@itsKShort
2 hours ago October 9, 2022

Brittany Higgins is expected to face further intense scrutiny on Monday when Bruce Lehrmann’s high-profile rape trial ­resumes in Canberra.

Ms Higgins, who has accused Mr Lehrmann of raping her inside Parliament House after a night out drinking, will enter her third day of cross-examination by his barrister Steven Whybrow.

The former Liberal staffer’s evidence in chief was delivered last week in the form of two police interviews recorded last year and examination by Crown prosecutor Shane Drumgold.

During the first week of the trial, the jury was shown CCTV footage of Ms Higgins and Mr Lehrmann entering Parliament House at about 1.40am on March 23, 2019, and a security guard letting them into the office of then defence industry minister Linda Reynolds, who was their boss at the time.

The court was also shown footage of Mr Lehrmann leaving the minister’s office and Parliament House in the early hours of that morning, while Ms Higgins remained in the building until about 10am.

Ms Higgins last week claimed that after entering Ms Reynold’s office she sat alone by herself on a window ledge overlooking the prime minister’s courtyard for a short period before waking up “mid-rape” on her boss’s couch.

The 27-year-old said her dress was bunched up around her waist and Mr Lehrmann, who she said was still partially clothed, was on top of her having non-consensual sex with her.

Mr Lehrmann has pleaded not guilty.

Ms Higgins told police that she had not worn underwear under her dress that night, does not know if Mr Lehrmann used a condom and has no recollection of how the pair came to be on their boss’s couch. Mr Lehrmann was fired days after the pair’s after-hours visit to their workplace due to the security breach.

On Friday, Mr Whybrow ­accused Ms Higgins of making up the rape allegation because she was scared that she too would lose her “dream job”.

Mr Whybrow also suggested to Ms Higgins that she did not visit a doctor in the days after the alleged sexual assault because it never happened. “The reason you didn’t go to a doctor is because you hadn’t had sex with anybody on the Friday night consensual or otherwise,” he said.

Ms Higgins angrily rejected that proposition, saying it was “deeply insulting” and “not true”.

On Friday, Mr Whybrow also revealed that Ms Higgins had repeatedly refused to hand her phone over to police for forensic examination after going public with her allegations in early 2021 and only did so after deleting texts, photos and audio files.

During her evidence in chief, the court heard that Mr Lehrmann had tried to kiss Ms Higgins three weeks before the alleged rape and that they had a “weird adversarial” relationship at the office where he was considered more senior than her.

The trial, before ACT Chief Justice Lucy McCallum, is expected to run for at least a month.

The Crown will have a theory to accommodate all the accused’s attacks. It may boil down to saying to the jury that whatever they made of Higgin’s behaviour (including her seen kissing Lehrmann, going willingly to the office etc), in the end she passed out pissed and did not consent. Whether or not she was willing to have sex at earlier points she said ‘no’ when push came to shove was irrelevant. The attacks on credibility can be deflected by pointing to her reactions to her ‘trauma’.

i fear for him that enough of the jury will decide according to the mantra that the victim must be believed. This was proclaimed directly or implicitly – constantly in the pre-trial period, up to Wilkinson’s Press Club talk. McCallum CJs ruling she could deflect the influence on this campaign by telling the jury to ignore it, or to recuse themselves if they shared its aim, is hopelessly naive. the trial should have been stayed permanently.

The Rising Risk of Nuclear War in 2023

From Armstrong Economics –

QUESTION: What do you think about Russia’s setbacks?

OL

ANSWER: All of this is a gamble with the hope that Russia will simply crumble to dust and the West will conquer Russia once and for all. Right now, sources in Russia say that the criticism is attacking the military leadership that they have been just too arrogant and underestimated Ukraine, and the fact that this is really a proxy war. My fear is that there are still a lot of hardliners there who look back upon the days of the USSR fondly.

China would be a fool as would North Korea if they stood by and allowed Russia to crumble to its knees. They cannot be that stupid not realizing that they will be next. The Computer projects 2023 as the year of political hell. January is a key period as will be April 2023. I would not start counting the laurels for Ukraine just yet. This is not over and the worst is yet to come. The threat of nuclear war rises in 2023.

With the Western Press cheering the fall of Russia, they are only contributing to the prospect of a major escalation and the use of nukes. The US has been buying medicine for radiation poisoning. They know what they are doing and could care less how many civilians are wiped out. Their view – the population needs to be reduced anyhow.

The bullet train sought to connect Los Angeles and San Francisco, but the only thing it has brought is red tape and a bulging bottom line: from $33 billion when planned in 2008 to be finished in 2020 to an estimated $105 billion in February to $113 billion now to be finished in 2030, the Times reported.

“There is nothing but problems on the project,” State Assembly Speaker Anthony Rendon complained.

“We would make some different decisions today,” developer Tom Richards told the Times, adding he still thinks the project “will be successful.”

Well he would say that wouldn’t he, same as Dan the Choo Choo Man would. What were they thinking to want to build a VFT right up one of the highest seismic activity areas in the world?

Still this is a useful lesson for Australian pollies: VFTs are a graveyard of political careers.
