Bloody hell, all those Rug ‘n’Tug attendances by Luigi the Unbelievable haven’t helped him prepare him for the meeting with Emperor Xi.

Remember at UNSW they forced any student who wasn’t doing fArts to do General Studies and what vile marxist ratbags they had running those courses.

What happened Tintarella?

Huh? I don’t know.

I thought Anal had upset the CCP emperor. Like Keating and Ali Alitas- ‘How are ya Ali?’

Tell them to give farming a miss Calli.
Tends to fray the nerves.

Monash has the new Whistlecock engineering department doesnt it?

Lol thanks Tintarella. I tend to get most of my news from here.

Speaking of Pelosi nee D’Allesandro filth- looks like the cadaver will still hang around DC wihether the ‘rats control the house or not. How fucked can you get? Or are they afraid the hand over to clyburn (who’s 110 too I think)?

I watched that video you linked to and have no words to express my dismay at the level of nativity of investors or the corruptness of politics. Maybe the Bahamas has more credibility in pursuing this rort than the US?

I can’t recall any American shows or movies where guys do trades. I presume they do have apprenticeships there.

I trust Fearless Leader was sufficiently supine and ingratiating.

Indeed, looked like a deer in the headlights — it must really suck to be Luigi because he knows how profoundly useless and talentless he is.

Made more enjoyable because they irritate Head Prefect. I dont read them all but a few have made my wide laugh so that is a good point in their favour.

Cranky Frankie is as Catholic as the old thief or the geriatric mafia princess.

Excellent summation. At least the Archbishop of San Francisco His Eminence Salvatore Cordileoni has done his duty unlike Bignose Bergoglio –

San Francisco’s archbishop declared May 20 that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., is not “to be admitted” to Communion unless and until she publicly repudiates “support for abortion ‘rights’” and goes to confession and receives absolution “for her cooperation in this evil.”

Delta A:
…aaand then you get to the punchline – when they could have made a difference, the ‘community leaders’ all sat on their arses and said ‘it’s too hard’, then blamed whitey when the damage was done. Pathetic. But then that’s all I expect from them and their hand patters. Pathos.

Welcome to Country

The Abo’s can get fucked.

My nevvy, bright fella, went to a selective high school, dropped out and went to TAFE part time while working on building sites. By the time he got his builder’s ticket he was already edging into project management, so he studied that. By the time he was 30 he owned (well, was paying off) his own home plus four investment properties.

In his mid thirties he had enough equity and cash flow to quit project management and fulfil his real dream – to become a firefighter! Which he now is. His family is financially secure and he loves his job.

To think he could have faffed around at university, incurred a large debt, and then started at the bottom (if he was lucky) of the ladder in some white collar job in his early 20s. He would have been miserable and comparatively poor.

Unless a young person has a real vocation to be a lawyer or teacher or something, university is a waste of time and a financial millstone.

Oh, that’s right: Walker terrorised the clinic staff days earlier and they all left in fear of their lives.

An ambulance, sent to collect Walker, and take him to the medical centre in an adjacent community, was withdrawn in the face of a barrage of rocks….
What would traditional tribal punishment be for such conduct?

None. The staff were mainly women who had been threatened with rape, bashing and murder.
These acts being normal behaviour in the communities, no punishment was necessary as no crimes had been committed according to Community Law.

Son and heir turned 18 two months ago. Finished Year 12 last week, and has zero interest in going to uni for any purpose.

He’s had a job in the bistro in one of the local establishments for almost 18 months, and started in the adjoining bottle shop as well today.

Additionally, he labours, drives forklifts and so on for a poly pipe concern just outside the rural area, and which services cattle stations. All of this is casual, and on top of that he just came home and told me he got a job as a deckie on a trawler for a two week trip starting Monday.

He’s been signed up for a heavy diesel apprenticeship in the New Year. In the 18 months he’s had a licence he has had, counting the current one, five cars and two motorbikes which he’s flipped for more than what he bought them for. He’s got more cash on hand than I do.

Why the hell would he go to uni?

The Abo’s can get fucked.

You leave King Percy alone. His Facebook stories are the real Dark Emu.

I wouldn’t do engineering again.

I get an unwanted tract from my old Chemistry Dept, which started arriving one day more than thirty years after I graduated. Followed closely by begging letters from the university.

I would not study chemistry either. Just about the whole lot of them are doing contrived crap based on climate rubbish. It’s sad to see: one day I was there we had the Nobel winner from our dept lecture us, Sir John Cornforth. Now they’re doing druid mysticism. So far we have fallen already.

Tomorrow’s press conference from Maralago is massive.

No one really knows what Trump is going to say.

I’d suggest Cats at least consider the last 4 Q posts which Trump is massively retruthing on his social media platform

Why? I’m already paying a small fortune from tax for their up keep. Those useless freeloaders should be thanking us for looking after them.

Some aborigines are useless freeloaders. Others have fitted in to Australian society very well. Probably a majority of them. You’re being too collectivist. People vary quite a lot.

ZK2A:
Odd that you mentioned that. At my last term at Wilcannia there were several deaths at the hospital of the old blokes and a couple of them were of significant old blokes in the community. I remember one time looking around at the families and listening to the stories being told of their prowess and dedication to their families and tribe.
Blackstone was were I learnt disgust as these families were previously demanding to take the old blokes home to strip their bank accounts, leave them in piss sodden beds and dehydrated because no one would would even bring them water.
Fitzroy Crossing* was where I learnt anger at the treatment of the Aboriginal women who would turn up with gaping head wounds because ‘family’ wouldn’t protect their Mothers or Aunties from the depredations of the ‘entitled’. When you put in sutures from the latest injury, you’d also check for old sutures because these old girls wouldn’t be brought up for removal of the healed ones.
Wilcannia was where I learnt to hate. 12 year old girl raped by ‘Uncle’ and beaten severely enough to have skull fracture. When she was told by one of the other kids the family was coming up to get her – well I’ve never seen the look of fear in her eyes in another human being as I did that morning.
I’d be a lot saner and a less of a drinker had I not tried to trace that kid. She never appeared in any medical records under the name she presented, ‘child of no appearance’ indeed.
We cannot change the system, it is too full of people to whom the old stockman, the grandma, and the ‘child of no consequence’ are just monetary and societal artifacts and a means to an end.
* A Fitzroy Crossing XRay consists of cleaning the head wound, and using a metal probe, gently run it over the exposed skull. If it is cracked, you will feel resistance/discontinuity as the probe crosses the fracture site. Lots of tips for budding trauma nurses.

This training will help ensure support for members of the Faculty who are lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and gender diverse, intersex, queer and questioning, asexual and aromantic plus other related identities (LGBTIQA+), helping grow and maintain a more inclusive Faculty and University.

Not just Trump. DeSantis has zero chance. No Republican has a chance. The Dems have put too much into this fraud to dare stop now or ever.

Unfortunately it won’t stop, because the authorities like the FBI and DoJ whose job is to prosecute such things are also fully captured.

Best to do a trade and then do engineering if you are so inclined

A very good point.
A grounding in the basics is essential if you want to really understand your profession.
Most professional disasters occur because the professionals don’t realise the pitfalls.
There’s a lot to be said for the “Mustang” concept in the armed forces. And the Enrolled Nurse to Registered Nurse progresssion in nursing.

Dot:

There are many “trades” which aren’t trades at all and dirt cheap and quick to be trained in.
HR truck licence course. 2 days. Same salary as a graduate engineer. $1800 cost. Pre reqs: a car driver’s licence.

Here is the hidden cost of the ticket clipping that soaks up employment opportunities for the Wukkas, while providing employment opportunities for sub continentals who can’t drive manual trucks because they can’t count beyond 5.
This stupid, stupid country.

Tinta:

San Francisco’s archbishop declared May 20 that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., is not “to be admitted” to Communion unless and until she publicly repudiates “support for abortion ‘rights’” and goes to confession and receives absolution “for her cooperation in this evil.”

Finally Tinta, someone on the Churches side.
I don’t expect it to have much impact, though.
I expect the good Archbishop to have an unfortunate accident with a safe falling from the highest building in SF, and being run over by the COVID bus while a marching Mariachi Band passes by at midday.

From News com au

The ABC’s health expert Dr Norman Swan has been forced to issue a grovelling apology after falsely linking the death of the late Senator Kimberley Kitching – and Shane Warne’s – to Covid-19.

Senator Kitching died on March 10 from a suspected heart attack at the age of 52. She was being treated for a thyroid condition that was contributing to heart problems.

Speaking on ABC News on Tuesday morning, Dr Swan said that it was “too much of a coincidence” that they died from heart attacks after contracting Covid.

“It’s too much of a coincidence that Shane Warne and the Labor Senator in Victoria died not long after a Covid infection, and people are reporting sudden death after Covid infection. It’s not benign,” he said

However, Senator Kitching did not contract Covid before her death and had not tested positive previously”.

Shane’s death been used by both sides. However his Dr said he was high risk and he had mentioned heart issues in weeks before his death.

ABC expert gives grovelling apology?
For my money, Swan is in no way an expert, he’s just a talking head with a spot in the luvvie’s carpark… and I’ve got no doubt that he will give a very conditional non-apology, and follow it immediately with deadly pandemic jab jab booster booster booster dangerous new highly virulent evasive strain experts warn.

Australian Government Hopes China will Lead on Climate Change and Peace in Ukraine

Essay by Eric Worrall

Another chapter in Australia’s increasingly incoherent climate policy and international diplomacy.

Penny Wong flags cooperation on climate change as Australia tries to reboot relationship with China

Minister also reiterates Australia’s expectation that China use its influence with Vladimir Putin to end Russian invasion of Ukraine

Wong said Australia needed to tread its own path. “If Australia can be effective in our diplomacy, especially in multilateral and mini-lateral groupings, we have will more chance of upholding the international order, maintaining our independence, exercising our agency, and achieving the equilibrium that is the basis of sustainable peace and prosperity.”

What are Australia’s government ministers attempting to achieve?

Do they believe if they cosy up to Xi Jinping, China will build fewer coal plants?

Do they think China has any motivation to try to end the Ukraine war, and to end the Western sanctions which have turned Russia into a captive supplier of cheap energy to China and India?

Does looking weak and needy in any way help Australia placate an increasingly belligerent Chinese leadership, or help the USA maintain a strong front against Chinese aggression in the South China Sea?

The phrase which comes to mind is “amateur hour”.

Schumer: I’m Meeting with McConnell to Push for Ditching ‘MAGA Republicans’

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) said Monday on CNN’s “This Morning” that he was meeting with Senat Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) in the wake of midterm election results to convince Republican senators to ditch so-called “MAGA Republicans.”

He continued, “I intend to sit down with him and say we should be working together. You’re not going to get the extremists in your party to work with anybody, but the rest of us can work together and get some real things done for the American people.”

Why Are We Not Being Told the Truth About Ukraine?

We’re responsible for the escalation to date, and we’re going to have to find a way to back ourselves out of the quagmire, before the unthinkable, a nuclear confrontation, destroys us all.

We are watching history repeat itself. A new generation of American leadership is rushing headlong into the same traps that ensnared the Kennedy, Johnson, and Nixon administrations in Vietnam. The mistakes made then: veering outside of U.S. strategic interests, a ratcheting escalation of commitment of manpower and weapons, concomitant massive government spending contributing to an inflationary crisis, the institutionalized cognitive dissonance that refuses to acknowledge counterfactuals against the prevailing narrative, and finally, massive lying to the American public about the facts on the ground, are all being repeated in the war in Ukraine.

These leaders’ actions are driven by the arrogance of power, an illusion of invincibility, a willful blindness, a refusal to admit error, and the Western obsession with dismantling the Putin regime and weakening Russia at any cost.

And the costs have already been staggering.

Year-to-date through September, the United States has committed over $52 billion to support Ukraine, including nearly $28 billion in military aid. This is more than the United States spent in total during the five most expensive years of U.S. military engagement in Afghanistan. The EU, which has more to lose from the regional conflagration, has committed a relatively paltry $16 billion. The U.S. military-industrial complex is alive and well, and more than happy to see this war continue for as long as possible. This is not in America’s best interest.

The American public repeatedly has been told that the Russian army is demoralized, that the Ukrainian military is prevailing on the battlefield, that Putin is dying of cancer and/or his generals are revolting, that sanctions are working, and that Russia’s economy is now worse than it was before the war. Like all good lies, these are built on kernels of truth exaggerated, twisted, or grossly inverted. The fact, as distasteful as it feels to most Americans and to me, is that Putin has a firm grip on power, Russian national income remains strong, and Russia has the upper hand in the conflict. Russia will outlast Ukraine and the West in this conflict.

Recent reports of U.S. officials secretly encouraging Ukrainian President Zelenskyy to be open to negotiations are more than just shows of good faith.

This reflects the growing fatigue and cost of the war, as well as the dawning realization that Russia has more leverage in the situation than the leaders of the West are letting on publicly.

Pfizer And Moderna To Investigate Their Own Vaccines For Myocarditis Risks

In all likelihood, Pfizer and Moderna are trying to get out ahead of burgeoning side effects with their own studies as a means to spin or mitigate bad press in the future.

Why is Big Pharma investigating their own covid vaccines for myocarditis side effects if the vaccines were already supposedly tested and proven safe and effective?

Both Pfizer and Moderna have announced that they will be undertaking studies to determine the longer term risks of Myocarditis (an inflammatory condition of the heart which can lead to death) for people who have been injected with the mRNA based covid vaccines. The decision comes after the release of multiple medical studies which show a correlation and causation between the vaccines and an exponential increase in heart problems, specifically among men 40 years old and younger. Only a year ago the link between covid vaccinations and myocarditis was widely denied.

Studies also show that myocarditis risk increases with the number of boosters a person has taken.

Before the year 2020, the average vaccine was tested and re-tested by pharmaceutical companies and the FDA for 10 to 15 years before it could be released to the public. This was done not only because testing is a complex process with a lot of red tape involved, but also because it is the only way to discover any long term side-effects that might be associated with a particular immunization product. If you read any medical journal or scientific outline on vaccine development published before 2020, they all agree that long term testing is necessary for public safety.

What really happened? Governments fast tracked approval using national emergency measures allowing Big Pharma to skip necessary tests and trials. Example: Pfizer representatives recently admitted under oath that they never tested the covid vaccine to see if it actually prevented transmission of the virus. They simply claimed that it did without verification. And governments began trying to enforce vaccines requirements on the populace based on the false claim that vaccination stops the spread.

It’s been less than two years since widespread distribution of the covid vaccines and we are already seeing signs of negative health issues through myocarditis and blood clotting disorders.

One has to wonder what further terrible developments will unfold for vaccinated people in another two years.

It’s becoming increasingly clear that the vaccine is killing tremendous numbers of people. It’s not safe. It will just have to be recalled and compensation paid by governments that forced people to take it.

How many people have been killed by the vaccine? You have to assume all excess deaths under the age of say 75 are caused by the vaccine. Heart attacks, strikes, seizures, aneurysms, all are at record levels caused by the vaccine.

Angry Turks And Talking Turkey About Ukraine In Turkiye?

Following a terrorist bombing in Istanbul — attributed to the Kurdish Workers Party by Turkish authorities — Turkey’s Foreign Minister told the United States to go screw itself.

According to the breaking news, Interior Minister Süleyman Soylu said in a statement after the explosion on Istanbul Taksim Istiklal Street, “We do not accept the condolence message of the US Embassy. If we had not caught the attacker, he would have fled to Greece today.” said.

The statement by Turkey’s Interior Minister is not just a passing, emotional response. He is sending Biden and his team a clear message — we blame you for this. Quite a potential rupture of the process to bring two new NATO members into the fold. This is likely to make Turkey even more determined to press Sweden and Finland to stop harboring PKK members. Unless the two aspiring NATO applicants submit to Turkey’s demands, Turkey will continue to block their admission. This will create a dilemma for NATO. Press Sweden and Finland to accede to Turkey’s position on the matter or ignore Turkey and risk Turkey withdrawing from NATO.

The Biden administration has now confirmed that CIA head Burns has met with Naryshkin. But it is lying about the content of the talks:

The United States asked for this meeting. Not Russia. When you factor that in with General Mark Milley’s call for Ukraine to entertain negotiations with Russia, this is a clear sign that the United States has growing concerns about Ukraine’s prospects for success and Washington’s ability to keep funneling money into the Black Hole of Kiev:

The top US general has made no secret of his stance. “When there’s an opportunity to negotiate, when peace can be achieved, seize it,” Milley declared in a public speech this week.

If Ukraine really did have Russia on the ropes, with victory in its grasp, why would anyone in Washington want to encourage Ukrainian President Zelensky to negotiate? Western euphoria about Russia’s tactical withdrawal from the city of Kherson, is masking the growing pressure from the citizens of NATO countries to halt financial support to Ukraine while they suffer with rising prices and contracting economies.

One final data point (also noted by Andrei Martyanov and Moon of Alabama) — the United States no longer has excess 155 mm howitzer shells to send to Ukraine and is looking to South Korea to pony up 100,000 rounds:

News of the transfer, first reported by the Wall Street Journal, comes as the US has warned that North Korea is secretly supplying Russia with artillery shells for the war in Ukraine. The intended transfers from both Pyongyang and Seoul highlight the pressure the war has put on the defense industrial bases of US and Russia.

“There’s no question that it’s put pressure on our own stockpiles,” said Colin Kahl, Under Secretary of Defense for Policy, speaking to reporters at a virtual meeting of George Washington University’s Project for Media and National Security. “It’s put pressure on our own industrial base. That’s been true of our allies.”

Only one problem with Norman Swans comments. Kitching had never had Civid prior to her death and Swan after these comments has apologised to the family.

He is unfit to comment further on vaccines.

“This is a distraction play, and a poor one at that. Anyone with suspicions isn’t thinking about the possibility these people died due to some complication that arose due to their contracting Covid”

Only one problem with Norman Swans comments. Kitching had never had Civid prior to her death and Swan after these comments has apologised to the family.

You seem to have missed the point. Norman Swan and his perspective is not relevant. I’ll be clear – did the Covid vaxxes have anything to do with the deaths of Kimberley Kitching and Shane Warne? Maybe yes, maybe no but we don’t know and can’t say. And the institutional authorities appear utterly determined not to seek an answer to the question.

Which is – reasonably – interpreted as an answer to the question.

Thanx Tom

AN OBITUARY

Today we mourn the passing of a beloved old friend, Common Sense, who has been with us for many years. No one knows for sure how old he was, since his birth records were long ago lost in bureaucratic red tape. He will be remembered as having cultivated such valuable lessons as:

-Knowing when to come in out of the rain;
-Why the early bird gets the worm;
-Life isn’t always fair;
-And maybe it was my fault.

Common Sense lived by simple, sound financial policies (don’t spend more than you earn) and reliable strategies (adults, not children, are in charge).

His health began to deteriorate rapidly when well-intentioned but overbearing regulations were set in place. Reports of a 6-year-old boy charged with sexual harassment for kissing a classmate; teens suspended from school for using mouthwash after lunch; and a teacher fired for reprimanding an unruly student, only worsened his condition.

Common Sense lost ground when parents attacked teachers for doing the job that they themselves had failed to do in disciplining their unruly children.

It declined even further when schools were required to get parental consent to administer sun lotion or an aspirin to a student; but could not inform parents when a student became pregnant and wanted to have an abortion.

Common Sense lost the will to live as the churches became businesses; and criminals received better treatment than their victims.

Common Sense took a beating when you couldn’t defend yourself from a burglar in your own home and the burglar could sue you for assault.

Common Sense finally lost the will to live, after a woman failed to realise that a steaming cup of coffee was hot. She spilled a little in her lap, and was awarded a huge settlement.

Common Sense was preceded in death:

-by his parents, Truth and Trust,
-by his wife, Discretion,
-by his daughter, Responsibility,
-and by his son, Reason.

He is survived by his 5 stepbrothers:

-I Know My Rights
-I Want It Now
-Someone Else Is To Blame
-I’m A Victim
-Pay me for Doing Nothing

Not many attended his funeral because so few realised he was gone.

If you still remember him, pass this on. If not, join the majority and do nothing.

Winston thank you for that tidbit of information, saw this just now – by 8:33pm, the Land of Nod had beckoned; rising at 4:30am each week day and 5:30am on weekends makes one rather wormish – the Wanssee Conference how very efficient.

November 15, 2022 at 9:40 pm

Oh dear, Winston, you’ve seen and know such horror – your comment has deeply saddened me -has a Royal Commission never heard of these horrors? perhaps not because it shames those who have allowed the horrors to continue. Now that’s real racism isn’t it? How many little children have been sacrificed on the alter of ‘family’ – I know of one right now – in a vegetative state due to domestic violence visited upon hereby her indigenous ‘partner’

I wonder if the removal of the religious missions was a deliberate way to exterminate the aboriginal race given the proliferation of so many urban white-blackfellas? Could it be that those urban white-blackfellas need the horror of the remote aboriginal communities to justify their ‘activist advocacy’ and the money that flows therefrom? So many questions and the answer is an inVoice?
