Not too badly at this stage but heaven knows what’s in store for the next few months. Most farmers have lost some crop in low parts of the farm. Any gentle slope is producing run-off and water pooling.
There are excellent crops around and it would be a great pity to ruin the cashflow boost for rural areas that would flow from a big harvest.
Everything’s damp underneath and it’s only fungicides holding rampant fungal disease at bay. Some blokes have lost the battle, particularly with faba beans.

The sisters claim that their goal in coming forward after their sister’s death is to restore the truth about their parents, who they described as good, hard-working people.
you got the definition correct, however, the timing is off. Only the US went off the gold ‘standard’ in ’71, and even then it was then only on the ‘standard’ in name.
That’s correct, but only up to a point. Bretton Woods set the US Dollar/Gold price at US$35 an ounce. The deal was that the Western world would coalesce around that fix and set their own currencies to within a tight band of.. I think… 2 1/2 % around the Greenback (which pinged back to the $35 dollar/gold fix). The US began to run large deficits primarily due to the combination of the Korean War, the Vietnam War and the Great Society bullshit expanding the social net.
One fine Friday in 1971, the French Foreign or Finance minister (forget which) came calling to the White House demanding their claim on gold by wanting to redeem their Dollars. Nixon and Connolly then floated the dollar that weekend, thus fucking the Frogs. The rest is history.
Let’s get some controversy happening here, Cats – other possible terms include: extinctificated, extinctified or extincted.
For the latter example, see below:
Fellow Earthians,
… maybe life has often evolved to intelligence on other planets with biospheres and every time that intelligence, when it became able to alter its environment, did so with catastrophic consequences. Maybe we have had many predecessors in the Cosmos but all have brought about their own downfall.
That’s why they are not communicating with Earth. They have extincted themselves.

From: “Humans rather than climate the primary cause of Pleistocene megafaunal extinction in Australia”
Environmental histories that span the last full glacial cycle and are representative of regional
change in Australia are scarce, hampering assessment of environmental change preceding
and concurrent with human dispersal on the continent ca. 47,000 years ago. Here we present
a continuous 150,000-year record offshore south-western Australia and identify the timing of
two critical late Pleistocene events: wide-scale ecosystem change and regional megafaunal
population collapse. We establish that substantial changes in vegetation and fire regime
occurred B70,000 years ago under a climate much drier than today. We record high levels
of the dung fungus Sporormiella, a proxy for herbivore biomass, from 150,000 to 45,000
years ago, then a marked decline indicating megafaunal population collapse, from 45,000 to
43,100 years ago, placing the extinctions within 4,000 years of human dispersal across
Australia. These findings rule out climate change, and implicate humans, as the primary
extinction cause.
Actually, would be interesting to know if humans were the cause of the desert areas in Oz as well.

Yep, I am well versed in the history of money etc etc, and the decline of ALL fiat currencies over time.

There was a married couple who were in a terrible accident.
The wife’s face was burned severely. The doctor suggested for a skin graft, but unfortunately, the doctor had to inform her that they couldn’t use any skin from her body because she was so thin. The husband then offered to donate some of his skin for the skin graft. However, the doctor said that the only suitable skin was from his buttocks. They accepted, but requested that no one be told of this, because after all this was a very delicate matter!
After the surgery was completed, everyone was astounded at the wife’s new beauty. She looked more beautiful than she ever did before! All her friends and relatives just ranted and raved at her youthful beauty!
One day, she was finally alone with her husband & she wanted to thank him for what he did. She said “Dear, I just want to thank you for everything you did for me! There is no way I could ever repay you!”
He replied “Oh don’t worry, Honey, I get plenty thanks every time your mother comes over and kisses you on your cheek”.

I was watching the movie Disclosure earlier – which is kind of interesting because it was almost (at the time) a thought experiment as to what would happen if a woman was the initiator of sexual harassment.
One lines bandied about by a woman trying to denigrate men, and when Michael Douglas tries to demonstrate that contrary to her assertions, men are not on some easy wicket just by virtue of being men, is that they are the ones who die in wars. She rebuts by saying that it is men who cause them.
One of the most interesting verses in the Bible is this one:
Abraham took the wood for the burnt offering and placed it on his son Isaac, and he himself carried the fire and the knife. As the two of them went on together
Bit hard to tell when Abraham was alive, but it’d be around the 22ndC BC. He was carrying the fire.
Some hundreds of years later humans found out how to make iron, then with flint worked out that you could spark a flame. I think that was one of the greatest inventions ever, which Abraham obviously did yet have then.
Quite a lot of interesting science in the Bible when you look with a scientist’s eyes. “Fining” is an often mentioned methodology that makes my metallurgical heart glad. Usually used for separating lead out of silver, since silver typically comes from lead ores. These days the word has become “refining” which is a misnomer, since the original purification isn’t “re”.

Players posing as Nazis discovered in popular children’s video game

A virtual recreation of Nazi Germany has been discovered in one of the world’s biggest online gaming platforms by a 10-year-old Jewish girl in Melbourne, despite parent company Roblox expressing a zero-tolerance policy towards extremist behaviour.
Roblox is a gaming platform of more than 200 million monthly users which, like many virtual reality frontiers, markets itself to children.
It allows users to create their own video games, interact and play games created by others.
The virtual room, designed to resemble Nazi Germany and complete with Third Reich symbols and Nazi soldiers, was discovered by a Jewish primary schooler in Melbourne, who accessed it from a server in Australia.
The great-grandchild of Holocaust survivors, the girl immediately identified the virtual recreation of her family’s history.
“We teach our kids from a young age about what it means to be Jewish, about the Holocaust,” said her father, who asked not to be named for safety reasons.
“It was very confronting. She was distressed, shocked, scared. She knew what they meant.”
“We are Nazis and we are going to take over the world,” one of the players said when she entered the virtual room. “Get away from us and bow down before us.”
A Roblox spokesperson told The Australian the company’s community standards “explicitly prohibit content and behaviour that glorifies or promotes extremism, including depictions, slogans, flags, or icons associated with Nazism”.
“We have a dedicated team focused on proactively identifying and swiftly removing such content or behaviour as well as banning those individuals responsible,” the spokesperson said.

Dutton prepared to set proposed watchdog on embattled Greens senator

Peter Dutton says he will refer Greens senator Lidia Thorpe to the proposed national anti-corruption commission after she failed to disclose her relationship with a former bikie boss while she was sitting on a law enforcement committee.
Joint parliamentary law enforcement committee chairwoman Helen Polley will receive briefings on Monday from the secretariat to ascertain whether confidences were breached by Senator Thorpe over a relationship with former Rebels Victorian president Dean Martin.
An investigation has begun to examine all previous minutes in meetings when the Australian Federal Police gave confidential briefings that had a “broad approach” to organised crime and motorcycle gangs.
The secretariat will flag meetings the AFP and Senator Thorpe attended, and when she was present during AFP briefings on organised crime and bikie gangs.
The Opposition Leader on Sunday said he would be “very happy” to report Senator Thorpe to the NACC, as he ramped up calls for her to resign from parliament. “I think it’s a very serious issue,” he said. “I’ve just seen nothing like it in my 20 years in parliament.
“As the police have pointed out, as the intelligence agencies have pointed out consistently over a long period of time, bikies are the biggest importers of illicit drugs into our country.
“They’re involved in all sorts of criminal activity.”
Mr Dutton said the revelations highlighted the “radical social agenda” within the Greens, attacking Greens leader Adam Bandt over his decision to allow Senator Thorpe to retain the Indigenous affairs portfolio.
Senator Thorpe has provided assurances she never attended a clubroom when she “briefly dated” Mr Martin, and he was “no longer involved with that world” when they were together.

What does Hispanic denote?
It’s a category Nixon invented in 1970, [likely to skew Crime Data away from implicating Blacks], but no one knows.
The term Hispanic derives from Latin Hispanicus, the adjectival derivation of Latin (and Greek) Hispania (that is, the Iberian peninsula), possibly of Celtiberian origin. In English the word is attested from the 16th century (and in the late 19th century in American English).
The term Hispanic (Spanish: hispano) refers to people, cultures, or countries related to Spain, the Spanish language, or Hispanidad.
The term commonly applies to countries with a cultural and historical link to Spain and to viceroyalties formerly part of the Spanish Empire following the Spanish colonization of the Americas, parts of the Asia-Pacific region and Africa. These are mainly countries of Hispanic America, the Philippines, Equatorial Guinea, and Western Sahara. In most of these countries Spanish is the predominant or official language and the cultures are derived from Spain to different degrees, combined with the local pre-Hispanic culture or other foreign influences.
Hispania was the name of the Iberian Peninsula/Iberia from the 3rd century BC to the 8th AD, both as a Roman Empire province and immediately thereafter as a Visigothic kingdom, 5th–8th century.
Just got around to reading the Federalist article in Weekend Reading #9.
This is the article that on Saturday had m0nty-fa gloating that the “liberals” had won decisively, the left were now the conservatives, conserving the fruits of the culture wars that they swore were not being fought. I do not think there is too much in the article to comfort m0nty-fa. He and his ilk are now, in their own terms, on “the wrong side of history”.
The article proposes a way forward that will not appeal to some (perhaps many) libertarians and conservatives, but seems viable. Aux (political) armes citoyens, to the barricades. We are now the rebels, m0nty-fa and his ilk are the reactionary defenders of a failed status quo.

The “free market experiment is over”, according to a top Tory MP and Rishi Sunak backer Tobias Ellwood, who hopes the establishment favourite will now usher in a “reset”.
Given the love of money printing on both sides of politics, the chance of that would be zero.

Netball Australia facing a $25m sponsorship crisis with fears other firms will follow Gina Rinehart out

Netball Australia is in financial peril and facing a potential $25m sponsorship crisis after a player union revolt led to Hancock Prospecting walking away from the sport, with the possibility more key sponsors could follow.
The company of mining billionaire Gina Rinehart pulled its $15m sponsorship on Saturday and there are fears it could balloon to a greater financial loss for the sport, as current and future sponsors may be put off from backing netball due to the players’ stance on issues.
“It could potentially turn into a $25m problem in the near future,” said one netball source. Netball Australia chief executive Kelly Ryan confirmed to The Australian that the survival of the sport, which has been $4m in the red, was again on tenterhooks and they will now have to consider cost cutting.
This comes after the organisation in June was issued with a “going concern” notice from its auditors after it had lost $7.2m in the past two years.
Pretty expensive dummy spit.

I heard Rowan’s attempt to deflect the criticism of the Farage’s bleedingly obvious and very correct description of the Lizzee Trussed imbroglio in the UK.
The Farage is not an anti-semite.
I’ve never heard of the word “globalist” being used as some sort of code for Jew or the Jewish people, or their unstinting efforts to control this planet’s weather.
Jews have been historically perceived by anti Semites as “rootless cosmopolitans”, who were so desperate to take over the planet that they had to go an establish their own country in their historical homeland.
The only anti-Semites I see now loudly blundering around mouth foamingly spouting their racist hatred are collectivists (again).
Huge fail for Labor/Greens over the Thorpey debacle.
Good on her for telling them to get fucked, but how weak is Adam Bandt’s position on the issue? And Albanese’s?
And why wasn’t it sorted behind closed doors before Dutton could sink his teeth into it?

So long as Dutton doesn’t get run over by a bus, this Government won’t last long.

Globalism is not a conspiracy theory. How could it be when it is rubbed in our faces day after day by the WEF, the UN and sundry other would-be despots and their acolytes (including, unfortunately, our own politicians). As to religion, in my view the only religion they really follow is Satanism. How could be otherwise when their whole raison d’etre is death and destruction.

Rush to plug loophole that could give citizenship to Islamic State members
EXCLUSIVE

6 Comments
The Albanese government will rush to plug a looming hole in Australia’s national security laws after acknowledging legislative flaws that would allow more than a dozen accused Islamic State terrorists to apply to have their Australian citizenship returned.
The move comes four months after the High Court shot down the Coalition-era citizenship cessation laws, ruling them invalid because they relied on a ministerial decision instead of a judicial one.
Government lawyers believe they would lose any further cases challenged in the court, and have told notorious jihadi bride Zehra Duman’s legal team they will no longer fight her appeal against the decision by the previous government to strip her citizenship.
The decision creates a precedent that would open the door for other known terrorists including Neil Prakash and Ahmed Merhi to apply to have their citizenship restored.
In response, the government will introduce its own citizenship cessation laws, which would empower a court, instead of a minister, to rule on whether a person should lose their citizenship due to their terrorism activities.
It is believed the laws will be retrospective, and apply to people who commit terrorism offences overseas as well as on Australian soil, meaning it would potentially apply to those such as Duman, Merhi and Prakash, who have been convicted of terrorism in Turkey or Iraq.

Anecdote o’clock – when I lived in Sleazey Hills in the late nineties, I used to go cycling in Centennial park four nights a week. Thursday night at the netball courts would see me walking the cycle back and just savouring. I’ve never seen so many hot young women gathered in such a compressed space in my life and probably never will again. Those goils were the real grass roots of the game*.
Ah, memories.

Not too badly at this stage but heaven knows what’s in store for the next few months. Most farmers have lost some crop in low parts of the farm. Any gentle slope is producing run-off and water pooling.
There are excellent crops around and it would be a great pity to ruin the cashflow boost for rural areas that would flow from a big harvest.

That’s correct, but only up to a point. Bretton Woods set the US Dollar/Gold price at US$35 an ounce. The deal was that the Western world would coalesce around that fix and set their own currencies to within a tight band of.. I think… 2 1/2 % around the Greenback (which pinged back to the $35 dollar/gold fix). The US began to run large deficits primarily due to the combination of the Korean War, the Vietnam War and the Great Society bullshit expanding the social net.
One fine Friday in 1971, the French Foreign or Finance minister (forget which) came calling to the White House demanding their claim on gold by wanting to redeem their Dollars. Nixon and Connolly then floated the dollar that weekend, thus fucking the Frogs. The rest is history.

What does Hispanic denote?
It’s a category Nixon invented in 1970, [likely to skew Crime Data away from implicating Blacks], but no one knows.
Let’s say it denotes someone with ancestry in the Spanish, later Mexican Empire.
That ranged from the Pacific Northwest to Texas, Indian Territory, so unless their sister was claiming to be from the Algonquin Federation, she was probably legit.
From: “Humans rather than climate the primary cause of Pleistocene megafaunal extinction in Australia”
Environmental histories that span the last full glacial cycle and are representative of regional
change in Australia are scarce, hampering assessment of environmental change preceding
and concurrent with human dispersal on the continent ca. 47,000 years ago. Here we present
a continuous 150,000-year record offshore south-western Australia and identify the timing of
two critical late Pleistocene events: wide-scale ecosystem change and regional megafaunal
population collapse. We establish that substantial changes in vegetation and fire regime
occurred B70,000 years ago under a climate much drier than today. We record high levels
of the dung fungus Sporormiella, a proxy for herbivore biomass, from 150,000 to 45,000
years ago, then a marked decline indicating megafaunal population collapse, from 45,000 to
43,100 years ago, placing the extinctions within 4,000 years of human dispersal across
Australia. These findings rule out climate change, and implicate humans, as the primary
extinction cause.
Actually, would be interesting to know if humans were the cause of the desert areas in Oz as well.

Of course they were. The 3rd nations could start a fire but not carry it; so every time they stopped they started a fire. This went on for millennia and finished off the rainforests except for remnants in the north east and created ideal conditions for the fucking eucalypts . Basically the 3rd nations were the biggest environmental vandals the world has seen.

There was a married couple who were in a terrible accident.
The wife’s face was burned severely. The doctor suggested for a skin graft, but unfortunately, the doctor had to inform her that they couldn’t use any skin from her body because she was so thin. The husband then offered to donate some of his skin for the skin graft. However, the doctor said that the only suitable skin was from his buttocks.

After the surgery was completed, everyone was astounded at the wife’s new beauty. She looked more beautiful than she ever did before! All her friends and relatives just ranted and raved at her youthful beauty!
One day, she was finally alone with her husband & she wanted to thank him for what he did. She said “Dear, I just want to thank you for everything you did for me! There is no way I could ever repay you!”
He replied “Oh don’t worry, Honey, I get plenty thanks every time your mother comes over and kisses you on your cheek”.

I was watching the movie Disclosure earlier – which is kind of interesting because it was almost (at the time) a thought experiment as to what would happen if a woman was the initiator of sexual harassment.
One lines bandied about by a woman trying to denigrate men, and when Michael Douglas tries to demonstrate that contrary to her assertions, men are not on some easy wicket just by virtue of being men, is that they are the ones who die in wars. She rebuts by saying that it is men who cause them.
Then I recalled that female monarchs are more likely to start wars than men.
Yep. They’re jumping over the cliff before the rest of the lemmings do. Get ahead of the rush.

One of the most interesting verses in the Bible is this one:
Bit hard to tell when Abraham was alive, but it’d be around the 22ndC BC. He was carrying the fire.
Some hundreds of years later humans found out how to make iron, then with flint worked out that you could spark a flame. I think that was one of the greatest inventions ever, which Abraham obviously did yet have then.
Quite a lot of interesting science in the Bible when you look with a scientist’s eyes. “Fining” is an often mentioned methodology that makes my metallurgical heart glad. Usually used for separating lead out of silver, since silver typically comes from lead ores. These days the word has become “refining” which is a misnomer, since the original purification isn’t “re”.

Virtual Nazis!
A virtual recreation of Nazi Germany has been discovered in one of the world’s biggest online gaming platforms by a 10-year-old Jewish girl in Melbourne, despite parent company Roblox expressing a zero-tolerance policy towards extremist behaviour.
Roblox is a gaming platform of more than 200 million monthly users which, like many virtual reality frontiers, markets itself to children.
It allows users to create their own video games, interact and play games created by others.
The virtual room, designed to resemble Nazi Germany and complete with Third Reich symbols and Nazi soldiers, was discovered by a Jewish primary schooler in Melbourne, who accessed it from a server in Australia.

This is the article that on Saturday had m0nty-fa gloating that the “liberals” had won decisively, the left were now the conservatives, conserving the fruits of the culture wars that they swore were not being fought. I do not think there is too much in the article to comfort m0nty-fa. He and his ilk are now, in their own terms, on “the wrong side of history”.
The article proposes a way forward that will not appeal to some (perhaps many) libertarians and conservatives, but seems viable. Aux (political) armes citoyens, to the barricades. We are now the rebels, m0nty-fa and his ilk are the reactionary defenders of a failed status quo.

I heard Rowan’s attempt to deflect the criticism of the Farage’s bleedingly obvious and very correct description of the Lizzee Trussed imbroglio in the UK.
The Farage is not an anti-semite.
I’ve never heard of the word “globalist” being used as some sort of code for Jew or the Jewish people, or their unstinting efforts to control this planet’s weather.
Jews have been historically perceived by anti Semites as “rootless cosmopolitans”, who were so desperate to take over the planet that they had to go an establish their own country in their historical homeland.
The only anti-Semites I see now loudly blundering around mouth foamingly spouting their racist hatred are collectivists (again).

Globalism is not a conspiracy theory. How could it be when it is rubbed in our faces day after day by the WEF, the UN and sundry other would-be despots and their acolytes (including, unfortunately, our own politicians). As to religion, in my view the only religion they really follow is Satanism. How could be otherwise when their whole raison d’etre is death and destruction.
