With Elections Over U.S. Multinationals Begin Announcing Job Cuts
November 12, 2022 – sundance
There was always a strong suspicion the woke corporations were holding back negative employment intentions until after the midterm elections.
Oh, and the new IR legislation is a nightmare of mammoth proportions. Utterly opaque except in one area – unfettered opportunity for unions to enter non-unionised workplaces and work their dark magic.

It spells the end of Fruit & Veg growing in Australia, since the irradiated fruit has a shelf life of forever.

FTX crypto currency exchange CEO Sam Bankman-Fried is a major donor to multiple progressive causes and politicians. This week as FTX starts to collapse, the financial system underneath the exchange looks more like a Ponzi scheme falling apart.
The CEO had been a major donor to regulators on Capitol Hill, and the tentacles of FTX extend to Ukraine where Sam Bankman-Fried was operating to support the Ukraine government with crypto currency collections and donations. The FTX corporation and CEO Sam Bankman-Fried is now under multiple investigations. Here’s the 90-second recap of the current dynamic. WATCH:
FTX Founder Spent $40 Million As Democrat Midterm Megadonor
Leading up to Sam Bankman-Fried’s spectacular implosion – in which his firm FTX evaporated billions in wealth after the now-bankrupt cryptocurrency exchange allegedly commingled client assets with his trading firm into a liquidity crunch – he became the sixth-largest donor in this year’s midterm election cycle, giving some $40 million to mostly Democratic candidates and causes.
According to Forbes, Bankman-Fried was second only to George Soros among billionaire donors to Democratic groups during the 2022 midterm election cycle.
Hiden’s in Cambodia! He referred to Cambodians as Columbians … twice!
I guessing as someone said, close enough is good enough with this administration.

Yep, although you’ve gotta admire Labor, in power for only six months, they haven’t wasted any time implementing their agendas. The Coalition? Hopeless at implementing anything.
They went to the 2019 election promising a religious freedom bill, which they only attempted to finally do in February of this year, where it was soundly beaten, thanks largely to scum like Sharma, Zimmerman, Allen and Martin.
Regarding the crypto guy how much would it have cost him to get Clinton and Tony Blair to sit next to him on a stage ?
“a doctor’s wife. Stereotypes are based on reality!”
I am not a doctor’s wife, the fat fascist fuckwit’s feeble stereotype is based on his adolescent imagination.

What is woke?
This is a really good question. Woke isn’t cultural marxism. It’s a cult first and foremost, it tolerates no open debate and no free speech. It is a merger of social justice, cultural marxism, crony capitalism, communism and globalism. Its aim is the one world technocratic totalitarian government. It masquerades as benevolent, but its goals align entirely with those of its corporate sponsors. Woke Economic Forum is currently the core driver of this fascism.
Annette Sharp in the Tele hits the bullseye:
She goes on to mention Andrew O’Keefe and Matthew Newton, as well as NFL bloke Curtis Scott and drug-fucked lunatic Ben Cousins and soapie poof Ian Stenlake. All had been dragged before the courts, mostly for smacking up women, before raising the ‘mental health’ canard.

Surovikin’s Difficult Choice
Russia Abandons Kherson
Big Serge – 1 hr ago
In January, 1944, the newly reconstituted German Sixth Army found itself in an operationally cataclysmic situation in the southern bend of the Dnieper River, in the area of Krivoi Rog and Nikopol. The Germans occupied a dangerous salient, jutting out precariously into the Red Army’s lines. Vulnerable on two awkward flanks, and facing an enemy with superiority in manpower and firepower, any general worth his salt would have sought to withdraw as soon as possible. In this case, however, Hitler insisted that the Wehrmacht hold the salient, because the region was Germany’s last remaining source of manganese – a mineral crucial for making high quality steel.
A year prior, in the opening weeks of 1943, Hitler had intervened in another, more famous battle, forbidding the previous incarnation of the Sixth Army from breaking out of a pocket forming around it at Stalingrad. Prohibited from withdrawing, the Sixth was annihilated wholesale.
In both of these cases, there was a clash between pure military prudence and broader political aims and needs. In 1943, there was neither a compelling military nor political reason to keep the 6th Army in the pocket at Stalingrad – political intervention in military decision making was both senseless and disasterous. In 1944, however, Hitler (however difficult it is to admit it) had a valid argument. Without manganese from the Nikopol area, German war production was doomed. In this case, political intervention was perhaps warranted. Leaving an army in a vulnerable salient is bad, but so is running out of manganese.
These two tragic fates of the Sixth Army illustrate the salient issue today: how do we parse the difference between military and political decision making? More specifically, to what do we attribute the shocking Russian decision to withdraw from the west bank of the Dnieper in Kherson oblast, after annexing it just a few months ago?
I would like to parse through this issue. First off, one cannot deny that the withdrawal is politically a significant humiliation for Russia. The question becomes, however, whether this sacrifice was necessary on military or political grounds, and what it may signify about the future course of the conflict.
As I see it, the withdrawal from west bank Kherson must be driven by one of the four following possibilities:
1. The Ukrainian Army has defeated the Russian Army on the west bank and driven it back across the river.
2. Russia is setting a trap in Kherson.
3. A secret peace agreement (or at least ceasefire) has been negotiated which includes giving Kherson back to Ukraine.
4. Russia has made a politically embarrassing but militarily prudent operational choice.
Let us simply run through these four and examine them in sequence.
Sorry..
Linkie.

No successful farmer is.
Lets assume everyone decided to “eat legumes” for their protein.
Can the good professor explain how the world could reliably synthesize enough protein to sustain the projected population increase utilising only plant based sources, because lets face it, that is the fervent wish of many a climate zealot.
Not all agricultural areas of the world are suited to reliable legume production.
Ironically, greenhouses pump in CO2 for increased production.
Meanwhile, the “never ending drought” continues. We are now at 33 inches rainfall for the calendar year and it’s about to Flannery again.
You’ll have to forgive my cynicism re Professor Tony Bacic, who I think has felt the need to spout out something, anything, to justify his existence.

I had a little chat with someone yesterday who was dropping leaflets for one of the independent candidates. She seems to think the rusted on Labor supporters feel betrayed and will be looking elsewhere, but I take that with a grain of salt.

Monty told us his wife was a teacher, he also told us he went on newstart (which I found unethical) in order to develop his fantasy football website*.

Works the other way too. Often have I patted derg when out walking, having encountered lady-with-derg. I get wistful gazes, it’s fun. A natural talent. With the derg. Helped by the fact that my hand smells of Coles mince.
This morning was fun by what didn’t happen. On Sundays I don’t go for a walk in the morning. Day of rest etc. So two hours after my non appearance the whole tribe of pied butcherbirds from the foreshore turned up. Where is our mince?
They were given that which they demanded and were happy. Five of them. Friday and Saturday they’d spotted me down on the foreshore when I was out walking and got their fix then, so those days they didn’t make the trek to the Cafe.
Friday was extra fun: some seagulls were at the pier at the foreshore, so I offered some mince. Whoosh! A dozen of them immediately at my feet. Got one to accept a lump from my hand too. Maybe five years since I last tried this trick. Seagulls are complete mendicants, and brave as.

Thailand one of the few independent Monarchies left still had that custom till the late King Bhumibol Adulyadej or Rama IX. He strongly discouraged it practise but was that respected by the lower & middle classes they continued with it till his withdrawal from public life.
Interesting how many Chinese dynasty customs were adopted by the Siamese but they in a large part retained a distinct identity. My travels of Vietnam found a much stronger Chinese influence but they have been subjugated for all but 4 centuries of their existence.

I just received some awful news. We’ve known a couple for decades and we often see each other once a month or so either for dinner at our respective homes, or just eating out. This great gal has endured breast cancer and then bone cancer, which she’s fought like a demon for the past 12 or so years. She’s a mere slip of a girl, but the fight in her has been truly inspiring having dealt with chemo for most of those years. Early last year, she was diagnosed with an aggressive brain cancer. Although she went through brain surgery and another round of chemo the type she had was terminal. The gate was shut in terms of recovery. I was just notified she’s gone downhill this week in a big way in terms of neurological function, and she’s had enough. In a week or so, while we’re away she will terminate. I can’t help but support her decision. God will be kind to her, I’m sure.

Speaking of personal attacks, the ALP here has mobile billboards attacking Guy as well radio spots. They don’t seem to have much.
As a minimum, you need a certain kind of intelligence to succeed in politics – at least an above-average level of rat cunning is required.
Yep, senate gone; Kari probably and House too.
4 salient factors: the implacable, focused corruption of the left; the ineptness and cowardice of the conservatives (Trump excepted); the brainwashing connivance of the MSM; the dumbness of the sheeple.
Get a load of this. This was the management team at FTX – the crypto exchange.
Repeating this as it goes with the comment below.
That includes Alameda CEO Caroline Ellison, whose firm played a central role in the company’s collapse – and who, at times, has dated Bankman-Fried, according to people familiar with the matter.

In the weeks leading up to the midterms, when most of us here were hoping for the best, it was you who basically said that they were already “effed”. You were right.
I think Florida should secede.

Dreadful news JC. In situations like with your friend, I understand euthanasia.
I hope you and your wife can provide comfort to her husband.
There is a youtube clip of Paul Eddington, best known as the Minister in Yes, Minister and as Jerry in The Good Life but who had a long career, talking about his impending death (cancer, whatever).
It’s the kind of thing I usually avoid like the plague, but it came up on some sort of autofeed, and after a minute or two, I was hooked.
He was the opposite of your typical actor – it wasn’t all about him, he wasn’t seeking sympathy, and he was humble. If and when I get the red card, I shall revisit it as an example of how to do it.
Here is a few minutes of it. Kind of bloke you would have wished to know.
Maybe Labor’s mobile billboards will inform the public that there is an alternative leader and his name is Matt(?) Guy. Could work for him.
After the Dems closing down the 2020 election when Trump was winning at three in the morning and vans dumping all night and the machines tampered with, anyone who thinks these elections were on the straight and level are just gullible fucktards.
Dealing with the left you assume the worst , and then you’ll find they’ve been even worse than that.
The gullible right wing have been played.
Just enough winning to stop them questioning while removing the Trumpsters.
They’ve got these machines sown up.
Now who here trusts the AEC?
If yes, what rock have you been living under?
People could tell some gullible fucks the cold was covid and make you inject yourself with something that is going to kill you…
They’ll even tell you the actual seasonal flu has magically disappeared, you can be asymptomatic while having covid, and that if you don’t jab yourself you’ll be killing others……..and that the electoral system in the USA and Australia…or in any western country…is beyond questioning.
Did you see the way the gullible right were soothed into acceptance these midterms?
Slowly but surely they’ll work it out, but only after they’ve played straight into the left’s hands and disowned Trump.
Who do you think is going to win the Victorian election with Dan only having ten followers in total who spend their entire life as his propaganda army on twitter?
Dan is going to win.
Not because he has the votes but because in all of the west, the left has marched it’s many gendered, rainbow climate change, virtue signalling, godless, narcissistic, useful idiots and knowing political hacks into all institutions of government and many private ones as well.
The right wing of politics is the humane, non racist, wealth producing fairer side od politics.
But by fuck many of it’s supporters are gullible fucks.
They just can’t believe the left is as evil as it is.
While history proves it every time you look at it, wherever the left have gained power.
They are at war with the west.
They are totally and deeply committed.
They are rabid.
Fueled by hate.
By envy.
Yet look how the right just rolled over for a tummy rub.
Pathetic.
Yes miltonf I noted the cover of the weekend AFR, headline screamed “Trumped” with a picture of the great man.
I reiterate – I refuse to expend any emotional energy on US elections. After 2020, and particularly after 6/1/21 I viewed the US as a failed state. All that remains are artefacts of what once was imagined. Sooner or later they too will be gone.
And don’t think for a moment our own Borg haven’t watched and learned and copied. They have.
Get back in the kitchen, you absolute moron.
Cheer and good bon homie.
The Hill publishes a ‘plan’ to make Gavin Newsom president without a vote
Douglas MacKinnon, writing for The Hill, proposed a ‘game plan’ to help the Democrats win the presidency in 2024 by making Gavin Newsom president now.
According to MacKinnon, a writer for Reagan and Bush senior, the plan is quite simple:
If the answer is “yes,” the “solution” is really not complicated at all. In one scenario, Biden could ask Harris to resign and replace her with Newsom, who then becomes the heir apparent for 2024. Or Biden could replace Harris with Newsom and then resign himself, making Newsom the president before 2024 and arming him with the full force of the Oval Office.
Yes, you heard that right. We’ve been getting gaslit for months about the ‘end of democracy’, and this guy wants to completely circumvent the democratic process by replacing the president without an election, solely to increase Democrat chances of maintaining power in 2024. Never Trumpish, former conservatives are something else.
This take was even too much for most people on both sides of the aisle.
And another thing, speaking of our home-grown Borg…
If you think aged care is expensive now…you ain’t seen nothing yet. I mentioned the new IR legislation up thread. The unions are gunning for what once were church-based NFP organisations because they believe workers are paid too little. Trouble is some of the people on the boards are all too amenable to union dominance because they are part of the creature themselves.
Naturally the state picks up the tab with magic money, including their own fat salaries.
Krysten Sinema is who you are thinking of, JC. It is a good thing for Democrats that they can pick off one of her and Manchin to support bills in future, assuming Warnock wins his fourth election.
I wouldn’t be flabbergasted if she flips to Republicans, actually. Not that it would make a hell of a lot of difference to her voting record.
Hell no, it’s a shemozzle.
Dan is not smart.
He has no rat cunning.
He has a compliant media, union thugs and all fully compliant, marched through, institutions, including and especially the police.
The bloke is purely a criminal.
A mass murdering, tyrannical, unconstitutional criminal of the highest order.

The Dems spent trillions buying votes from the cloying masses.
The Dems covered their tracks by telling the voters that inflation is caused by corporate greed.
It seems that corporate greed had been hibernating during the extended low interest rate and inflation period only to awaken and attack the unsuspecting Dem administration.
If you can accept that line of bullshit then voting Blue is not a leap.
Pinged for drug dealing and a custodial sentence? One way of putting it.
He probably is bright – plenty of them out there. But you have to be bright + well connected to get ahead in the halls of power. Think about how many well connected kids get parachuted into good government jobs.

Well I am off to sink a few schooners whilst it’s legal at the local who never discriminated against the great unwashed. Converse with other men about the whims of life. Cheerio, posting may be slurred during the latter part of the day 😉
You should read the “oh well, these dumb bastards get who they vote for ” type comments STILL muttered here.
No one is getting who they voted for.
Haven’t you noticed?
Not in England, not in the USA, …as if Biden won…FMD.
Klaus Schwab and his mates have over ridden UK democracy and installed their boy.
Horse face the communist is still in power in uNZud.
Hmmm, as a matter of fact, not one tyrant anywhere has paid the price for being one. Not missed a cent.
The only ones who paid were the likes of Boris for going too easy later on.
Their media turned on him straight away.
In finally is the Malcolm Turnbull of Britain.
All going to plan.
Yet FUCKING MORON right wingers talk like a fucking election just took place in the USA.
Here’s a clue they knew they had it in the bag.
The propaganda wasn’t dialled up to eleventy by the left before hand.
They knew they may not been able to get Florida, but they knew which ones they were going to win.
They know which ones they’re about to win, now they’ve slowed the voting down and most have gone back to watching sport or porn.
Here’s a tip.
t’s rigged.
And it is here too.
And here is practical common sense…
Until you can prove otherwise, you should assume all voting is rigged.
And look at our fail safe system….what a fucking joke.
The title says it all.

I wanna know if he’s dating a klanswoman or a higher caste, lighter skinned East Indian!?
He should definitely stay with her! He has the love of a good woman! At least he’s not an incel!
Exactly.
Oh sure, Cassie. He’s a friend for life and will do anything for him.
LOL
If elections were effective they would have been made illegal a long time ago.
Personal attacks and poor campaigning work very well for the left. In fact, they’re masters at both. And they keep on winning. Why is that?
What do you have to do to get a can of Kit-e-Kat?
Mater summed up montypox best I reckon.
The Unspeakable, rambler.
I have a close friend who worked for Coutts-Trotter. Apparently he is a very competent public servant.
I don’t judge him on his past as a drug mule. That was over thirty years ago. Coutts-Trotter went to prison, he did his time and since then he’s atoned and has pursued a career path which he’s excelled at. Alan Jones remains a friend to both Coutts-Trotter and Plibersek, despite their clear ideological differences. I think most people only bring up his past because he’s married to Labor’s Plibersek.
This is why I speak of denialism.
Born of disbelief in the true evil of the left.
It’s a fucking big problen the right have.
They think somebody is pinching them on the the arse when infact they are getting gang raped.
“Oh no, they’re not gang raping me, their just too stupid to know I’m not a whore”
Denialism.
They are trying, and succeeding in killing you.
They want you dead.
You are helping them achieve their goals.
A Texan visitor to England asked an Englishman to show him the biggest building in town. “There it is” said the Englishman. “It’s quite impressive, I must admit”. “You call that big?” scoffed the Texan. “Back in Texas we have buildings just like that but over a hundred times bigger!” “I’m not surprised” said the Englishman. “That’s the local lunatic asylum!”
After 2020, and particularly after 6/1/21 I viewed the US as a failed state.
Accurate assessment. The ‘land of the free’ now imprisons political dissenters. So yeah Cohenite was right, the midterms were fucked. Just surprising people take this lying down.
“Saucer of milk for m0nty-fa, today’s cattiness winner.”
Really, I thought it was very lame.
Too much of a good thing can be wonderful.

I thought a criminal record precluded employment in the NSW PS.
On twitter, Schumer implying his side has a majority. I guess he knows beforehand.
Rely shows twitter is back to a semblance of respectable normality we all missed and adored.
Well in the local and I have seated myself and on the television Peter Hitchener and the beautiful Lavinia Nixon are fronting something called the Melbourne Awards.

Back in 1950’s Australia, would any government have attempted to do what they did regards the imprisonment of the people of Australia and the taking of unconstitutional power by force?
If not, why not?
How can they succeed in doing so now?
Our guns have been taken (mostly) ….but either way, the government are not scared of the people anymore.
They have the arms and the digital technology to go about their lives in full security.
Socialism/Marxism/communism…call it what you will, but it now controls ALL institutions of government from education, to the police and the judiciary…and the AEC.
The reason I have been angry at denialists for the last two , nearly three years, is that they agressively REFUSE to see the bleeding obvious, therefore allowing them to see things clearly and actually do some good.
At the moment denialists are basically supporters of this Globalist / Communist takeover.
Deluding themselves that it all is as it was.
By the way, our covid health camp is being expanded.
Wellcamp….funny that.
Denialism.
It’s not happening….
Oh but it is….it is happening , cherub.

Influencer Who Transformed Into A Korean Woman Now Wants To Regain His British Man Identity
It puts the mid-terms into perspective.
Or at least prevent them from jabbing themselves to death.
Biden mixes up countries again
The US president confused Cambodia with Colombia, while attending a summit in the Asian country
From the Comments
– America was discovered by Cambodius.
– I fear one fine morning Biden instead of punching off his alarm clock off will push on the nuclear button of his football.
– Biden has the intellect of a dung beetle. I’m sure he doesn’t even know where Canada is.
– The 1% elite doesn’t care. If they want a dog to be president so be, as long as the status quo is maintained
Was s/he influencing others to trans into Korean women?
He’s a RE/TARD
industrial scale corruption. the system hasn’t been cleaned up, not even superficially.
The stakes become even higher in 2024 expect the fraud to be cranked up to eleventy.
We may even have another bioweapon wave or an all out war.

I don’t judge him on his past as a drug mule. That was over thirty years ago. Coutts-Trotter went to prison, he did his time
I do! .. NEVER FORGET, NEVER FORGIVE! .. no he didn’t do his time .. 9 years but somehow out in 3 ..

I had hope when President Trump won in ’16.
I maintained that hope until Pence and the USSC stabbed him – and by extension – the US in the back.
But as I said on multiple occasions since then, not one shot has been fired, not one courthouse burnt down, not one act of physical resistance has been taken by the Right.
Instead, the good old boys have taken the rifles out of their cupboards and polished them and put them back. They’ve gone to the range to commiserate with their buddies and watched “The History of the American Civil War” in colour and stereo on their 4K screens while drinking beer.
I don’t expect Australians to do anything either – we never had the distrust of our politicians that seemed to come naturally to the US.
It’s very much like watching the fall of the Roman Empire in fast forward.
Someday somebody will discover the moon site with the vehicle and landers – the laws of physics work just as well for Argentinians and Nigerians, and they’ll say “What happened here? How did they get this far and then fail?”
We’ll go down as the weakest generation because we’ve worked damned hard to win that title.
Technology speeds everything up.
One of the most insidious aspects of the takeover of language is the use of ‘dated’ as a synonym for ‘had sex with’. That is, unless it means that sex was had up the date.
It’s part of the pornographication of language. ‘Dating’ used to mean going to a movie or having a meal together. Now it means you had sex.
Is there a word for going to a movie or having a meal together, now that ‘dating’ has been expropriated?
The low energy nature of the election fraud claims this cycle is highly notable. Last time you all obsessed over video footage of electoral workers flitting hither and yon, the locations of boxes hidden under specific tables, unmarked trucks backing into warehouses at 3am… where is any of your evidence in 2022? All you do is feebly mewl “sabotage” and have a sook.
And the worst part will be that dickless piece of shit’s gloating.
