From many of the comments above I can’t believe that so many still think a PCR test works! It is so easy to set these tests up to ‘fail’ or ‘succeed’, simply increase/decrease the amplification cycle level

Of course, its a feature not a bug, it all makes sense once you realise what ‘victory looks like’

Today we braved another look at downtown Selma, Alabama. The famous bridge there is now detailed in an information centre, which is actually very good on the Selma to Monterey marches – the first stopped over the other side of the bridge by brutal iron bar wielding good ole boys thugs, including the awful sheriff at that time. The second and later marches (by religious figures and many whites) over the bridge, to protest the barriers to black voting registration, were system-changing events. I recall those times well. Hairy was nostalgically playing The Eve of Destruction (Barry McGuire 1969) late at nite in our suite – Selma features. Selma today is as I said earlier, a pit with lawlessness abounding and some hostile black people. Alabama is still a basket case in its rural areas. Such hopefulness for democracy and change on the faces of the marchers, who suffered greatly (some of those iron bars on display had spikes on them), tragic for it to end in Selma today. But vote for Democrats and you get handouts and despair, rather than enterprise and activity and wealth, that’s my take on it.

Blacks now get voted into some key positions. Interesting though was the one big political sign I saw – a real billboard with a pic of a white man in police unifornm – Vote for me as Sheriff. Seems there is a felt need to tackle the sort of hopelessness and petty crime that we saw, plus the recent riots burning of all buildings offering help to the poor. I don’t know what his support base is, but I suspect it is not without some blacks who want crime to cease.

Now I hear on Fox just now Obama is coming out about police kneeling on the necks of black people.
Seems a noose was left at his Presidential Library site. As I said earlier, the CRT ideology and Obama’s political organiser ideology haven’t helped at all, witness in Chicago. And everywhere else.

So much goodwill in the last thirty years has been squandered.

Today’s drive sees us back in Florida, welcomed over the border from Alabama by a sign also saying Ron De Santis, Governor. There is an immediate sense of well-being, of competence, of activity and pride, and the State is obviously very well off. No wonder people are flocking there. Half a mile in from the border is a big, clean and impressive Welcome to Florida and Living in Florida building. All the information you might want to make the move.

I was reading late last night from a book on Victorian History and many times in the past in Victoria and around Australia there have been internment camps of one sort or another … often internees were ‘enemy aliens’ from countries we were at war with.

For those who missed it, we are the enemy now, the weapons of war deployed against the citizens* in the last 3 years should have made that abundantly clear. Perhaps that is why they seem to be hell bent on killing us.

* censorship, propaganda, border closures, curfews (in terms of allowable distance from home, if not allowable times), movement restrictions, identity passes/checks, war emergency control of the economy, militarised police (and actual military) in the streets, devastated towns with bodies pilling up in the streets (I made the bodies bit up, but so many towns were devastated economically, debts that will take decades to repay – if ever, traumatised ‘survivors’ who’s lives are forever changed…. just look at the comments to Emily Oster’s Atlantic article, there are plenty of people who now see the world as indelibly changed.

Monty considers ignorant anyone who doesn’t think the worst economic conditions since Carter’s stagflation, quadrupled interest rates and doubled gasoline prices, is a marvellous reason for people to vote for the party which caused this mess.

Like I said, there was actually a red wave in most demographics… except it was largely cancelled out by the high-intensity blue wave among unmarried women.

And endothelial damage is the root cause of vascular disease, perhaps contributing to the rise in cardiac disease, particularly against the vaxxed.

There is certainly an argument to be made that 2022 was decided purely on “it’s the economy, stupid” factors.

Yes, most demographics didn’t like inflation and voted accordingly. Unmarried women voted in large numbers on abortion… but that is an economic issue too, if you think about it.

Many of those women don’t want to be forced to give up their careers to be a mother just because their contraception didn’t work. Young mothers tend to fall towards poverty.

Of course that is part of the reason that conservatives want to ban abortion: they hate the freedom and liberation of modern women. The abortion issue brings that implacable hatred to the forefront of women voters’ minds.

If you don’t understand this dynamic, it is either that you are thick, or you just don’t want to.

Mayor pleads for help with child criminals
Owen Leonard
OWEN LEONARD

Alice Springs mayor Matt Paterson has urged a government rethink and is calling for legislative change to create safer places for children to reside.

Alice Springs mayor Matt Paterson says the system is failing his town as it deals with a rise in children-led crime.

Mr Paterson said Alice Springs was being struck by “chaos” everyday, with children who have “no fear” causing havoc.

Children were hitting the streets because they didn’t feel safe at home, he warned.

Mr Paterson has urged a government rethink and is calling for legislative change to create safer places for children to reside.

“On Tuesday night, it (crime) was so bad that police put [an alert] on Facebook [warning people] to avoid the CBD,” he told Sky News.

“They said do not come into the CBD because it’s too dangerous.

“It is really challenging at the moment. These kids have just got no fear and are causing chaos every single day.

“The system’s broken, and we’re too scared to change the system because people in Melbourne, Sydney and Canberra blow up.

“They don’t live here. The system needs to be fixed.”

He said some of the children committing crimes were simply picked up by police and driven home in a measure that “doesn’t work”.

“We need to make sure the kids who commit these crimes are dealt with. I’m not saying all these kids should go to jail, but we need to have another way of looking at things,” he said.

“For these children, a lot of their homes aren’t safe places to go to, and that’s why they’re on the streets.

“They need to be taken somewhere safe. I absolutely support creating a safe place for these children to go to.

“It’s unbelievable to think that in Australia in 2022, it’s safer for kids to be on the streets than at home.”

Poll Finds Massive Shift of Suburban Women to Republicans in Midterms Due to Economy (2 Nov)

The GOP has seen a shift in its favor among several voter groups, including Latino voters and women, and particularly white suburban women. That group, which the pollsters said makes up 20% of the electorate, shifted 26 percentage points away from Democrats since the Journal’s August poll and now favors the GOP by 15 percentage points.

Maybe, Monty, you mean those mythical young women who only exist inside a computer (Dominion or Konnech) and vote my means of a laser printer?

Perhaps.
It’s a Single Woman’s issue.
For whatever reason, they don’t want to give birth, and that’s it.
Young mothers tend to fall towards poverty.
Young Single Mothers, yeah, plus it’s hard on the kid, plus she’s fucked her whole life up.

Of course that is part of the reason that conservatives want to ban abortion: they hate the freedom and liberation of modern women.
That’s straight up HorseShit.
In America, most abortions are done on blacks and “hispanics” [read: blacks from Puerto Rico, Cuba, Central America and Dominican Republic].
For whatever mysterious reason, the extreme Right [NeoCons] want more blacks, while Joe SixPack and his missus would like less, but will settle for the status quo.
The MidTerms results bear that out.
The abortion issue brings that implacable hatred to the forefront of women voters’ minds.

That’s right dotty. Unfortunately, we have a section of the centre-through-hard-right that has now gone down a path that can only logically lead to pro-Soviet Cold War revisionism. I have no doubt by this time next year, you’d have commenters here running the same propaganda lines that THR used to push on here, e.g.:

-the Nazi-Soviet Pact was a defensive alliance and contained no military aid component
-the USSR single-handedly won WWII without any assistance from US heavy industry
-the Ukrainian famine was caused by poor weather, not grain confiscation
-the Baltic states had no right to defect from the USSR in 1990-91
-the Katyn massacre didn’t happen or was carried out by the SS

Scrolling up this thread, we’re already well on the way to confirming a couple of these points, but the longer people are defending Putin, the more they HAVE to confirm the entire pro-Soviet post-war narrative. It is simply unavoidable.

Why?

Basic psychology. It is simply impossible to hold the following two thoughts in your head at the same time:
-Ukraine is a historic victim of Russian and Soviet imperialism, suffering colossal genocides at the hands of Moscow’s leadership (the most infamous being the Holodomor) and it’s independence from the USSR’s control via popular referendum in 1991 (including 54% of Crimean votes and over 80% in every other region) was a historic liberation
-Ukraine is a fake country run by Jews, Nazis and drag queens at the behest of NATO/EU/Soros, and Putin needs to persist invading until he rolls over Kyiv or at least turns Ukraine into a rump state.

One of these positions obviously needs to be revised, and the more strongly hold to the second narrative, the less feasible it is to acknowledge the first.

And Putin’s “Ukrainian Nazi” narrative is a precise replication of Soviet Cold War propaganda which said that Ukraine deserved to be annexed by the USSR because of pro-Nazi sympathisers among the population.

Makka – That looks like a version of the tokamak or stellarator style of fusion with a liquid lithium liner. The latter is quite neat since neutrons bombard the lithium to produce tritium, which is then collected and used for the plasma. The lithium metal also is a good heat conductor so it then transfers the fusion energy to the water circuit via heat exchangers – the water converted to steam powers the generator turbine.

The downside of all this is the tokamak or stellarator. They the subject of decades of work which has yet to be fully successful. A fusion plant built based on such tech will be immensely expensive in capital cost terms. All those magnets and complex control issues of the plasma means costs. So while the fuel is cheap the capital cost kills you dead – which has been the Achilles heel of fission plants too (especially with all the red and green tape they are forced to drown in.)

I don’t think the containment plasma fusion model is the way to go. I favour accelerator methods using non-deuterium fuels – lithium or boron especially. But I’ve not yet seen a company with a compelling technology in that space, which may mean that doesn’t work also. (I haven’t been following this area though – other Cats will probably know a lot more than I.) But if someone can get the accelerator-based fusion process to work the engineering would be far easier than the tokamak/stellarator model.

I wouldn’t invest in General Fusion though. The chances of a return on investment are tiny, simply because the technology barrier is so enormous. But I like what they’re doing.

Expert Explains Cancer May Be Metabolic Disease, and Shares a Cure
“They [cancer] cannot breathe … they can’t get energy through oxygen, they can only get energy from fermentation.” All cancers can survive without oxygen, but they “cannot live without sugar, glucose, and the amino acid glutamine.”
Cellular aerobic respiration mainly takes place in mitochondria. Mitochondria, which are responsible for respiration, are damaged and hollow in all major types of cancer.

Interesting, may explain the uptick of cancer as spike protein is known to damage mitochondria.

Ever since I was a child, I’ve always had a fear of someone under my bed at night. So I went to a shrink and told him “I’ve got problems. Every time I go to bed I think there’s somebody under It. I’m scared. I think I’m going crazy”.

“Just put yourself in my hands for one year” said the shrink. “Come talk to me three times a week and we should be able to get rid of those fears”. “How much do you charge?” “Eighty dollars per visit” replied the doctor. “I’ll sleep on it” I said.

Six months later the doctor met me on the street. “Why didn’t you come to see me about those fears you were having?” he asked. “Well, eighty bucks a visit, three times a week for a year, is $12,480. A bartender cured me for $10. I was so happy to have saved all that money that I went and bought me a new pickup truck”.

“Oh, is that so?” he said with a bit of an attitude. “And how, may I ask, did the bartender cure you?”

“He told me to cut the legs off the bed. Ain’t nobody under there now!”

Makka – I should say too that General Fusion’s website is awesome as a flashy information-free extravaganza.

It took a fair bit of effort to work out what they were doing technology-wise. I’m not sure I got to exactly the right conclusion since the actual tech is buried under layers and layers of pretty guff. Which I think constitutes a cautionary point.

I tend in such things like a flowsheet, some chemistry or nuclear physics and some materials of construction information. None of that was there: only by inference from the comments about the liquid lithium layer was it apparent what they were doing. (But all those widgets in the photos I don’t exactly know what they’re supposed to do. They look pretty.)

If I was designing a website to particularly support the extraction of money from governments I would do what they have done. Good on them.

I could dig deeper but it’s Saturday and I’m not inclined to.

Armageddon vs Global Totalitarian State

We have been under the threat of armageddon since the cold war. Since then we have new threats, and these are real threats not imagined threats like overpopulation or climate change. One is General AI which morphs quickly into super intelligence, which we are unable to control. Some see this as the next phase of human evolution, the merger of man and machine. The other armageddon which is now very real is biological Armageddon, the early taste of which is the cccp virus.

Some group see the solution to Armageddon scenarios as the global totalitarian state which overseas all activity and prevents any of these catastrophic scenarios. However benevolent the global all knowing state might start off as, history as shown that it’s only a matter of time before it can turn evil and full on totalitarian. A totalitarian state never cedes power.

The question then is, can we steer a course between these two extremes.

Baldwin files lawsuit against movie crew
Daniel TrottaReuters
Sat, 12 November 2022 10:13AM

Actor Alec Baldwin has filed a lawsuit against an armorer and three other crew members over the deadly shooting on the set of the Western movie Rust, which claimed the life of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins.

Baldwin’s suit was filed in Los Angeles County Superior Court as a cross-complaint stemming from a previous suit in which a different member of the crew named Baldwin and the others as defendants.

It is one of many pieces of litigation stemming from the October 21, 2021 tragedy which is also under criminal investigation and could result in New Mexico state charges.

Baldwin’s cross-complaint names armorer Hannah Gutierrez-Reed, first assistant director Dave Halls, prop supplier Seth Kenney and prop master Sarah Zachry.

Lawyers for Gutierrez-Reed, Halls and Kenney did not immediately respond to requests for statements in their clients’ defence.

Reuters could not locate a lawyer for Zachry.

All four were also named as defendants along with Baldwin in the original lawsuit filed by a script supervisor who claimed the shooting caused her severe emotional distress.

Baldwin’s cross-complaint alleges negligence and seeks damages to be determined at trial for the “immense grief” he endures.

“This tragedy happened because live bullets were delivered to the set and loaded into the gun, Gutierrez-Reed failed to check the bullets or the gun carefully, Halls failed to check the gun carefully and yet announced the gun was safe before handing it to Baldwin, and Zachry failed to disclose that Gutierrez-Reed had been acting recklessly off set and was a safety risk to those around her,” Baldwin’s cross-complaint said.

Hutchins was killed when a revolver Baldwin was rehearsing with during filming in New Mexico fired a live round that hit her and movie director Joel Souza, who survived.

In a television interview, the actor said he did not pull the trigger of the Colt .45 revolver and it fired after he cocked it.

An FBI forensic test of the single-action revolver found it “functioned normally” and would not fire without the trigger being pulled.

Nope, its a side effect of freedom, and being responsible for your own decisions is a great learning opportunity (I have had 7 figures in crypto for years, and long ago learned NOT to keep your assets on someone elses exchange, hence FTX, Blockfi etc going down will not affect me). I learned this by doing – I was not protected by government regulations.

Regulation brings its own set of problems, rather than eliminate them, and the power of central regulators to harm you is far greater than the power of the free market to.

To illustrate the point, why does Fiji (insert any other tinpot country here) have an army? Its not going to big enough to prevent the country being taken over by any significant power? The answer is ‘to prevent the people rising up and overthrowing the government’. The problem is, to be powerful enough to do that, it has to be powerful enough to itself take over the government – as the sucession of military coups has shown us.

It is simply impossible to hold the following two thoughts in your head at the same time:
-Ukraine is a historic victim of Russian and Soviet imperialism, suffering colossal genocides at the hands of Moscow’s leadership (the most infamous being the Holodomor) and it’s independence from the USSR’s control via popular referendum in 1991 (including 54% of Crimean votes and over 80% in every other region) was a historic liberation

I have no particular disagreement with these points. I would add, however,that other groups in the former Soviet Union, including Latvians, Estonian, Lithuanian, Polish minorities, Crimean Tatars, Don Cossack and, indeed, ethnic Russians suffered similar mistreatment at the hands of communism, particularly Stalinism. Communism is an equal opportunity persecutor.

-Ukraine is a fake country run by Jews, Nazis and drag queens at the behest of NATO/EU/Soros, and Putin needs to persist invading until he rolls over Kyiv or at least turns Ukraine into a rump state.

You have set up a straw and here. Both (I say again both) sides in this conflict have blood and blood money on their hands. The leaderships of both sides are corrupt, with links to oligarchs (eastern and western) and to openly fascist groups.

I have much sympathy for the ordinary people of both Ukraine and Russia, but for their leaders, I draw on the words of Henry Kissinger about another war between two unsavoury governments: “Can’t they both lose?”

That would leave the ordinary peoples of Ukraine and Russia as the winners.

As far as Covid goes add in Senators Antic and Malcolm Roberts.
Rennick definitely hardworking based on clips I have seen of him questioning TGA and health officials. Roberts also. Pity Dutton does not learn a bit from him as from what I see a lot of people now questioning the Vax as becomes more obvious not working as claimed but can see experts won’t stop pushing them.

“is Rennick the only senator working for the people???”

Well , of course. That is exactly the intended outcome.

A massive lawless playground largely out of sight on the edges of western civilization, rich in all manner of resources, strategically a crucial piece of realestate on satan’s doorstep. The EU , NATO and the US will pour untold and unaccounted for Billions into the place. The opportunities for graft, corruption and CIA black money ops will be stupendous!

A young boy went up to his father and asked him “What is the difference between potentially and realistically?” The father thought for a moment, then answered “Go ask your mother if she would sleep with George Clooney for a million dollars. Then ask your sister if she would sleep with Brad Pitt for a million dollars and ask your brother if he’d sleep with Justin Bieber for a million dollars. Come back and tell me what you learn from that”.

“So the boy went to his mother and asked “Would you sleep with George Clooney for a million dollars?” The mother replied, “Of course I would! I wouldn’t pass up an opportunity like that!”

The boy then went to his sister and asked, “Would you sleep with Brad Pitt for a million dollars?” The girl replied “Oh my God! I would just love to do that! I would be nuts to pass up that opportunity!”

The boy then went to his brother and asked “Would you sleep with Justin Bieber for a million dollars?” “Of course,” the brother replied. “Do you know how much a million could buy!?”

The boy pondered for a few days, then went back to his dad.

His father asked him “Did you find out the difference between potential and realistic?” The boy replied “Yes, sir. Potentially, we’re sitting on three million dollars, but realistically, we’re living with two sluts and a pooftah.”

I’ve never bought that argument, Ranga. It’s the same as suggesting I deserve to live under the hunchback because the majority of deadweight in Victoria (not 100%) voted for the piece of shit. I’d rather lose limbs than voting for Hunchback. I never voted for $165 billion dollars of debt or rather, supported a bunch of useless slobs that do.

He reckoned earlier today that the entire leftist strategy is to use climate change to wall us all in and heard more and more toward authoritarianism. He could be right.

I don’t know if it’s true, but he said Klaus Barbe of the WEF has been telling folks that governments should use the Covid lockdowns to reduce gerbil warming.According the Klaus Barbe, Gerbil warming is also a public health issue. I don’t know if that’s true.

It’s a stupid analogy. Firstly, because analogies generally are always a stupid way to argue. Secondly, the big bad US doesn’t border with Russia. Thirdly, the US doesn’t really need to station nukes in Europe to hit Russia. Intercontinental ballistic missiles exist.
