Here are a few questions
I live in luxury Retirement apartment under Retirement Village act which favours owners of villages not the residents. Since building opened we have had leaks and mould and now have to have cladding removed as non compliant . Residents have copped huge bill , and an opened ended tender as estimates of infrastructure damage unknown til cladding removed. Lawyers suggested suing builders but oldies are loathed to go that route of cost and time and effort. Building inspector looking at my place this week said Eaves not attached to building properly so building fault Builders Buxtons well known in field of luxury apartments did a Phoenix not registered between 2006 and 2010 when building done but current website slightly different name has our building displayed . Architect friend said not allowed to claim building as yours if you did not build it . Well sa me lot slightly different name so they could not get sued My bill could be $100,000 . Where the hell does one go BTW they are telling oldies that apartment would Increase to that extent in value. Misinformation, intimidation and fear mongering causing stress anxiety depression etc , Will let us borrow from them at 6% plus interest compounded until unit sold.
Any bright ideas out there . I have written to every statutory body OPA , Consumer Affairs ,Dept of Justice ,

So what do Cats think of the G20 wanting to bring in the digital vaccine passports?
It makes me lucidly rage dream.
The overt attempt to use it as a trial for carbon passports (no longer a conspiracy theory) is wilfully spiteful and we have companies like Thales designing apps for big brother and Jacinda Arden declaring herself as the sole source of truth.
Isn’t that suggestion in one sense both current and redundant?
For instance, the US requires an attestation and the airline wants to see evidence of a vaccine certificate. Immigration in the US doesn’t give a shit about it anymore and don’t ask for anything to do with a vaccine.

Women aren’t envious of women uglier than they are. And Horse Face is one ugly bitch.
A 65-year-old woman had a heart attack and was taken to the hospital.
While on the operating table she had a near death experience. Seeing God, she asked “Is my time up?” God said “No, you have another 33 years, 2 months and 8 days to live”.
Upon recovery, the woman decided to stay in the hospital and have a facelift, liposuction, breast implants and a tummy tuck.
She even had someone come in and change her hair colour and brighten her teeth! Since she had so much more time to live, she figured she might as well make the most of it.
After her last operation, she was released from the hospital. While crossing the street on her way home, she was killed by an ambulance.
Arriving in front of God, she demanded “I thought you said I had another 33 years? Why didn’t you pull me from out of the path of the ambulance?”
God replied: “I didn’t recognise you!!”
definitely not something you’d see in 2022 .. LOL!

Biden Breaks Big Promise to One-Issue Voters
From Armstrong Economics –
“The Roe v Wade Supreme Court leak that happened earlier in the year sparked protests across the nation. It is the largest one-voter issue on the ballot, and even the GOP was torn over the ruling. We must remember that the average voter does not understand the intricacies of political promises. Threatening to remove access to abortion pushed many moderate voters to the Democrat Party, and President Joe Biden promised to codify abortion into the Constitution. Biden said it would be his first course of action if the midterms worked out in favor of Democrats.
The average voter does not understand that the president alone cannot make adjustments to the Constitution. Any time Joe Biden is allowed to speak without a teleprompter, he reveals his administration’s true plans. “I shouldn’t have even answered your question,” Biden said at a press conference in Bali this past Monday after realizing his mistake. “I don’t think there’s enough votes to codify unless something happens unusual in the House,” Biden admitted despite saying he was capable of doing so weeks prior.
Joe Biden lied about student loan forgiveness and abortion rights, which are both one-issue items large enough to cause the moderates to sway to the left. No issue appears to spark more anger than Roe v Wade. Will people protest outside the White House as they did to Supreme Court Justices? The hope is that some will open their eyes and process that Joe Biden sold them a lie, but others will see it as a reason to continue attacking the opposing party.”

Article 5 Against Ukraine?
From Armstrong Economics –
COMMENT: Ukraine attacked Poland. Does this not make Ukraine an enemy now since they struck a nato country?
REPLY: “That would certainly be a plot twist. It would never happen since the agenda is to go to war with Russia. Zelensky did not immediately apologize to Poland for killing two Polish citizens, as he was hoping his new friends would blame Russia and immediately begin World War III.
It was a very passive apology as well. He apologized for the “Russian missile terror” and alleviated himself of any blame. “Expressed condolences over the death of Polish citizens from Russian missile terror. We exchanged available information and are clarifying all the facts. Ukraine, Poland, all of Europe and the world must be fully protected from terrorist Russia,” Zelensky said on Twitter.
Technically, Ukraine did attack Poland. Poland is a NATO member, and Ukraine is not. It does not matter if it was an accident, as they can use any excuse to start a full-scale global war under the current conditions of NATO that say “any” attack could be grounds for collective defense.
As Article 5 notes:
“The Parties agree that an armed attack against one or more of them in Europe or North America shall be considered an attack against them all and consequently they agree that, if such an armed attack occurs, each of them, in exercise of the right of individual or collective self-defense recognized by Article 51 of the Charter of the United Nations, will assist the Party or Parties so attacked by taking forthwith, individually and in concert with the other Parties, such action as it deems necessary, including the use of armed force, to restore and maintain the security of the North Atlantic area.”
Any such armed attack and all measures taken as a result thereof shall immediately be reported to the Security Council. Such measures shall be terminated when the Security Council has taken the measures necessary to restore and maintain international peace and security.”

US immigration do give a shit about it, they’ve just off loaded the responsibility of checking vaccine passports onto the airlines. The airlines may be doing for their own reasons, also, but they are required to do it by US law.
US law says people must produce evidence of vaccination (unless exempt) prior to boarding an aircraft to the US, AND do the attestation. I imagine the attestation fulfils a legal requirement if someone’s unlucky enough to be caught playing the system (fake passport, etc).
US immigration seems lax on it, only because using the airlines is so very effective, and saves them the bother of being familiar with all the formats of vax passports the various countries have come up with.
Fact check: True. Religions offer several things that most people need: a purpose that gives meaning to their lives is one of them.
In the decline of Christianity, we see wokedom rising, offering zealots by temperament an alternative. It’s a thoroughly nasty religion, appealing to power hunger and envy. Instead of trying to improve one self to become more worthy, it encourages the adherent to destroy everyone else. So long as it endures, we’re headed for some very dark places.

You know, there’s a horde of people out here who just want to be left alone – to have our families, maybe go on holidays to Uncle Jacks farm in the Adelaide Hills once a year, or maybe a lifetime visit back to the Old Country to see friends we grew up with and see how they like retirement.
These aren’t grand dreams but they’re what we want and when we see people who think they have the right or even duty, to encourage us in a different direction ‘for our own good’ we get a little soggy and hard to light.
The UN is not doing itself any favours by ignoring the grumbles from the crowd.
All I can say is that which I’ve quoted from Taxicab Depressions :
“These people are playing with matches… I don’t think they understand the scope and scale of the wildfire they are flirting with. They are fucking around with a civil war that could last a decade and cause millions of deaths… and the sad truth is that 95% of the problems we have in this country could be solved tomorrow, by noon… simply by dragging 1000 people out in the street and shooting them in the fucking head.”
Since the whole things seems to’ve been a money laundering operation for the Democrat Party I’m sure she’ll find it was all Trump’s fault.

President Xi Scolds Trudeau for G20 Media Leak
LOL and so funny. Turdeau gets told off by a grown up. A Megalomaniac true, but still a grown up………………………..
From Armstrong Economics –
“The fear on Trudeau’s face is priceless. Everyone knows Justin Trudeau loves the spotlight. He is merely a celebrity like Zelensky. Justin is not a true statesman but a political puppet who does what he is told, as a good World Economic Forum Young Leader should. Within hours of what should have been a private meeting, the mainstream media released everything to the public. China’s Xi confronted Trudeau for disclosing altered information and making a complete fool of himself.
Everything discussed yesterday “has been leaked to the paper(s), that’s not appropriate” and “that’s not the way the conversation was conducted,” Xi told Trudeau through a translator. Justin, like a reprimanded schoolboy, said they “could work constructively together, but there will be things they disagree on.” Xi replied, “Let’s create the conditions first,” meaning do not open your mouth to the media when we are negotiating global affairs. There is nothing to disagree on when the conditions have not been outlined.
Before people cry “but, but, free speech—we can say what we can here,” let us not forget that Trudeau said China was his ideal government. Another step in the wrong direction for China and Western relations.”

As a Catholic, do you follow the Church’s teaching on abortion? Or is your Catholicism “flexible”?
It depends on the destination and possibly the airline. When I travelled to the Netherlands via Dubai (transit only) a couple of months ago full vaccination including a “booster” within a 270 day window was a requirement of entry.
I was not asked for any proof of anything at Sydney airport check-in. When I arrived at Schiphol, again…nothing. The arrivals area had to be seen to be believed – swarming with people, masked and unmasked. It was a zoo.
Of course, that requirement has now been dropped by the EU. That the US, along with a bevy of third world sh*tholes demand vaxx “passports” tells you all you need to know about the US.
The email quoted in the piece from Renee Heath includes the passage:
So yes, it is accurate to call them dominionists.
They are being called out for beliefs shared by Catholics.
Incidentally as a public supporter of abortion you have self excommunicated.

Shannon Deery and Kieran Rooney report on Premier Fuckface in the Hun:
Daniel Andrews is battling an unprecedented image problem with party polling showing the Premier is on the nose with voters.
One week out from the state election, Labor Party insiders say the Andrews brand has become toxic, including with the female vote where he previously ranked highly.
Labor figures have reportedly been shocked by the consistent drop in the party’s primary vote, which began during the pandemic and has failed to recover.
The Premier’s favourability rating has taken a huge hit as the opposition and anti-lockdown groups have sought to make the election a referendum on his personality.
The Liberals have used Mr Andrews’ image in attack advertisements even more often than Labor has in positive advertisements with both sides banking heavily on the tactic of playing on his personal brand.
Although Labor is still the favourite to win, the party is bracing for a sobering evening on November 26 as seats where they hit historic high results return to the centre and even flip back.
Speculation is mounting that a hung parliament is possible or that a result will not be known on polling day.
Sources have told the Herald Sun that strategic decisions had caused disagreements between the Premier’s Private Office and campaign headquarters.
Claims this had led to tensions between the offices have been disputed.
Liberal Party sources said tracking data had shown the Premier’s favourability rating had tanked since revelations two weeks ago he was involved in a fourth corruption probe.
On Friday his unfavourability rating hit a record low 51 per cent, according to the Liberal Party data.
“Basically half the state don’t like him,” a senior campaign source said.
“When it comes to the desired outcome for the election only 44 per cent of all voters want a Labor win.
“Only 50 per cent of Labor voters want Labor to win and 38 per cent want a Labor minority. Even Labor’s own supporters are concerned about giving Dan unfettered control.”
Liberal Party sources said Opposition Leader Matthew Guy’s referral to the Independent Broad-based Anti-corruption Commission had stalled his campaign momentum. But the mood was otherwise “upbeat”.
“We don’t want people to vote early. Each track poll comes back with their primary down further,” one source said. “Andrews is increasingly a negative for them.”
Labor insiders report increasing “anti-Dan” sentiment at polling stations since early voting opened on Monday.
More than 500,000 voters have voted, with some observers expecting an early protest vote over the government’s pandemic management and handling of the health system.
“Dan is in unknown territory,” a senior Labor source said. “There’s a reason the Liberals are using pictures of Daniel Andrews on their campaign material. Labor has walked into a trap. It’s starting to look pretty ugly.
“It will come down to who voters dislike more, Dan or Matthew.”
Polling revealed by the Herald Sun this week showed support for Labor and the Coalition on a knife edge with the real prospect of a hung parliament.
The RedBridge poll estimated that once the undecided vote was distributed, the Labor and Coalition primary totals would be 38 per cent.
The Victorian Greens claim their research shows they are in with a strong chance to win Northcote and Pascoe Vale from Labor.
Northcote has been a target seat throughout the campaign, along with Richmond and Albert Park. But the typically safe Labor seat of Pascoe Vale has not been in the spotlight until now.
Some say Footscray could also fall to the Greens.
Federal Greens leader Adam Bandt said the party’s data had it on track for a “very, very good showing”.
He said the mood on the ground reminded him of the party’s surprise victories in Queensland during the federal election.
“Northcote in November feels like Brisbane in May,” Mr Bandt said.
“Don’t be surprised if the seats of Northcote and Pascoe Vale turn green at this election. The ground campaign that has been run by the people-powered movement here in Northcote has seen over 12,000 doors knocked on.
“It’s no surprise that Premier Daniel Andrews was here yesterday (for a press conference).
“This is a seat where people are switching their votes.”
It’s understood Labor has become more optimistic about its chances in Melton in Melbourne’s west where it is anticipating a backlash.
Pollsters have been predicting the party is unlikely to retain the seat after a redistribution favoured Ian Birchall, an independent candidate running again after a strong showing in 2018.
This has been coupled with growing perception in the community that they are neglected on transport, education, health and jobs centres.
Labor strategists suggest there has been a recent improvement in this sentiment.

Labor MPs are now as likely as Coalition counterparts to own three or more real estate properties, marking a definitive shift away from the party’s working-class roots.
It is the first time since records have been kept that property-rich politicians are equally common on both sides of the political aisle.
The milestone comes amid a broader gentrification of parliament. The number of federal politicians who own five or more homes has almost doubled in the last 20 years.
An exclusive News Corp investigation reveals 42 per cent of MPs since 1986 – the earliest date for which records are available – owned at least three properties.
The rate of home ownership among federal politicians peaked in the last decade, during which there were persistent calls for reform of the increasingly out-of-reach housing market.
The share of federal Labor politicians who own three or more properties surpassed that of the Coalition for the first time after the 2019 election when 37.6 per cent of Labor MPs owned at least three properties compared to 36.3 per cent of Coalition members.
This includes properties owned by an MP’s spouse or dependants. The last election saw both figures tick up slightly to 40 per cent on both sides of the aisle.
The finding is symptomatic of broader gentrification within the Labor Party, says Australian National University political scientist Patrick Leslie. He attributes the trend to two factors: the professionalisation of politics and an ideological shift in the Labor Party.
Dr Leslie said increasing shares of Labor politicians have never held jobs outside politics or the public service, especially as staffers to MPs.
“In 1985, it made up about 25 per cent of the contingent in the House, it’s now closer to 50 per cent,” he told News Corp.
“If you’re a staffer, you can make quite a lot of money quite quickly … and a lot of Labor staffers – particularly ones that go on to be chiefs of staff – who then find a way into preselection, they’ve actually been able to enrich themselves reasonably well.”
On ideology, Dr Leslie said Labor had shifted away from its working class roots and now courted people with a more affluent upbringing.
“Labor used to be a social democratic movement long ago and it’s shifted,” Dr Leslie said. “They’re more neoliberal than they are social democratic.”
The Labor Party has also seen a three-fold increase since the turn of the millennium in the share of its caucus that owns more than four properties.
Eighteen Labor MPs in the current parliament own four or more properties, compared to just four MPs in 2001.
This feeds into a broader trend which has seen significant growth in the number of MPs across the political spectrum with sizeable property portfolios.
Since the turn of the millennium, the share of MPs who own five or more properties has grown by 79.5 per cent – from 10 MPs in 2001 to 18 in 2022. Similarly, the share who own four or more has grown by 52.1 per cent – from 27 MPs in 2001 to 41 in 2022 – and the share who own three or more has grown by 56.5 per cent – from 54 MPs in 2001 to 85 in 2022.

And before you start …
I don’t know about anyone else here, I had already started………………………..
One day a florist went to a barber for a haircut. After the cut, he asked about his bill, and the barber replied “I cannot accept money from you, I’m doing community service this week”.
The florist was pleased and left the shop.
When the barber went to open his shop the next morning, there was a ‘thank you’ card and a dozen roses waiting for him at his door.
Later, a cop comes in for a haircut, and when he tries to pay his bill, the barber again replied “I cannot accept money from you, I’m doing community service this week”. The cop was happy and left the shop.
The next morning when the barber went to open up, there was a ‘thank you’ card and a dozen doughnuts waiting for him at his door.
Then a MP came in for a haircut, and when he went to pay his bill, the barber again replied “I cannot accept money from you. I’m doing community service this week”. The MP was very happy and left the shop
The next morning, when the barber went to open up, there were a dozen MPs lined up waiting for a free haircut. And that, ladies and gentlemen and its and others, illustrates the fundamental difference between the citizens of our country and the politicians who run it.

Democrats’ FTX Scandal Is Only Just Beginning Issues & Insights
Not only was crypto-billionaire Sam Bankman-Fried’s company, FTX, allegedly a fraud, but it spent huge sums on recent elections to get Democrats into office.
Was this a case of massive election fraud? If so, it isn’t just Bankman-Fried who should be punished.
While news of FTX’s problems first started trickling out in early November, the midterm elections took place on Nov. 8. That was the very day the FTX story broke big, after a possible White Knight takeover of FTX by rival Binance was cancelled.
The full picture of potential criminality didn’t emerge until just after the election. Coincidence?
You might never have heard of Bankman-Fried, but the White House did. After spending millions during the 2020 presidential campaign to support Democratic candidates and Joe Biden, and $40 million more this year, Bankman-Fried won access to the White House.
“Bankman-Fried and his team of lobbyists at FTX met with top Biden White House officials during visits on April 22, May 12, and May 13,” the Washington Free Beacon reports.
And, perhaps not surprisingly, he also hung out with former President Bill Clinton, who appeared at an FTX-sponsored conference on cryptocurrency in the Bahamas.
And then there’s this:
The FTX CEO’s family — consisting of his parents, Joseph Bankman and Barbara Fried, and brother Gabe Bankman-Fried — has contributed hundreds of thousands of dollars to Democratic candidates and actively worked with left-wing organizations committed to supporting Democrats. The four appear to have had subtle influence on the Democratic establishment for the better part of a decade.
‘We’re ambitious and looking to make a splash,’ Gabe Bankman-Fried said in an interview with NBC News in May.
Splash made.
There’s no crime in contributing to a political party. Unless, of course, the donations are illegal, and the Democrats knew it.
We have lots of questions. Was this all just a lone wolf leftist delivering money to his favorite far-left political party? Was he aided by Democratic officials, who knew FTX was little more than a Ponzi scheme but milked it like a cow anyway?
Why didn’t U.S. regulators, the Democrat-dominated Congress or law enforcement go after FTX before, given what now seem to be clear signs that his business model was questionable at best, criminal at worst?
At minimum, Dems should have to return their ill-gotten loot. They’re recipients of stolen property. Did they know that?
Americans deserve answers, given the enormous impact this bankrupt company had on recent elections.
We hope the new House, now controlled by the Republicans, will add FTX and its political influence to the growing list of things that must be investigated to save our country from becoming a one-party state.

Josh Hawley fires warning shot to top Biden admin regulators over FTX collapse: ‘Provide all correspondence’
Hawley noted Sam Bankman-Fried funded ‘lavish’ donations to Democratic candidates through ‘rampant fraud’
FIRST ON FOX: Sen. Josh Hawley, R-Mo., sent a letter to top Biden administration officials Friday morning, demanding information and correspondence regarding the collapse of cryptocurrency exchange FTX.
Hawley, a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, penned the letter to Attorney General Merrick Garland, Securities and Exchange (SEC) Commission Chairman Gary Gensler and Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) Chairman Rostin Behnam. He demanded the three officials disclose whether they had investigated FTX or its sister firm, Alameda Research, and if their respective agencies had entered into settlements with the two companies.
The Missouri Republican also asked whether the Department of Justice, SEC or CFTC had communicated with the Democratic Party apparatus regarding FTX and its founder Sam Bankman-Fried. Bankman-Fried was a prolific donor to Democratic candidates during the midterm election cycle, wiring nearly $40 million to Democratic coffers throughout 2021 and 2022. He also donated about $10 million to help President Biden get elected in 2020.
“The success of Mr. Bankman-Fried’s criminal enterprise briefly made him one of America’s richest men,” Hawley wrote to the officials. “And he deployed his ill-gotten gains in service of the Democratic Party, emerging in recent years as its second largest individual donor behind only George Soros.”
“To be clear, Mr. Bankman-Fried funded his lavish donations to the Democratic Party through rampant fraud,” Hawley continued. “The net result was that billions of dollars were stolen from investors and handed over to Democrats and left-wing organizations.”
He added that the collapse of FTX coming shortly after the midterm election was suspect and raised questions about whether federal regulators and law enforcement “faced conflicts of interest in identifying, investigating, and thwarting the fraudulent scheme.”
The definitive shift happened when the “dregs of the middle class” (h/t Kim Beazley Snr) began joining Labor in the early ’70s and transformed it into a progressive party.

I’m very curious to see how few people it really takes to maintain a microblogging platform. Not very many, I think, but maybe I’m wrong.
If Musk makes Twitter work with a headcount 80% smaller than when he bought the company, I’m even more curious to see what the tech industry shakeout might be.
From the Comments
– I hope someone follows up on all the disenfranchised Twits so we can hear how they’re faring out here in the cold, cruel world.
– One thing Musk sure as hell understands is profit and loss.
– Staying solvent is a prerequisite for everything he wants to do in business.
That seems self-evident but oddly, it may not be.
– Maintaining the cloud infrastructure is probably the biggest challenge. The software is probably not that big of a deal to maintain.
– It’s not like the employees are pedaling bikes connected to generators and if they stop the lights go out
– Musk just gave permission to the other media companies, Amazon, Beta and others, license for mass layoffs.

Clarkson + Kaleb: Behind the Scenes on Diddly Squat Farm | Performance People
15 Nov 2022
One of the UK’s most charismatic TV presenters, Jeremy Clarkson has been entertaining the nation for some 40 years with his uncompromising take on the car industry and life in general. At 62 and with no fewer than 10 jobs at the last count, Clarkson is now trying his hand at farming.
Joining Clarkson is Kaleb Cooper, Jeremy’s sidekick from the smash-hit reality TV show, Clarkson’s Farm. On the show, Kaleb is the young man tasked with teaching Clarkson how to farm, earning his ‘break-out star’ status by telling Clarkson what he really thinks about his farming prowess. Alongside his day job on the Diddly Squat Farm, Kaleb has built up his own agricultural business in the Cotswolds, while gathering 1.1 million followers on Instagram.
Together, in a podcast first, they talk about their sometimes confusing master/apprentice dynamic, how David Cameron broke Jeremy’s vintage tractor and why sheep are afflicted with an existential death wish.
This four way conversation was recorded on 25th October 2022 at Diddly Squat Farm.
LOL. That’s his day job … and childcare.
Second one should probably be ‘Pretender Revealing Ignorance of Catholic Knowledge’.

PS… *some* cryptos are scams, some are legitimate businesses. Like all investments, you need to ‘do your own research’ before plonking down the cash, and if you think ‘government regulation’ is the key to protecting you from bad outcomes, you haven’t been paying attention this last nearly 3 years.

And has a truly vast dirt file, I suspect, after 50 years as a senior Democrat.
Which Jill now controls. Interesting to see if she attempts to stand for office.
I have read through your missive and would like to offer what advice i can.
If you have had a full building inspection report that is a good start, if not please arrange one.
It is very important you find out who issued the C of O (certificate of occupancy) and get copies of it and the final handover report. This is because whoever certifies the structure holds a level of liability.
What you also need to do as a start is get a copy of the “As Builts” this will include the building plans, material schedules etc. This gives a point to compare if the materials used match with the actual product as specified in the drawings. This would relate to Building Code compliance.
I don’t know when the structure was built but if it is 7 years or less it is subject to the builders guarantee, given that the build is by a phoenix company it then falls to the insurer.
I hope this is a decent starting point for you, if you want get my email off Dover and we can chat offline.
I’m a senior PM so i have some decent insights.
Fly to Mexico and walk across the border – no vax required.
I would not be at all surprised to find out that all that gooey stuff which went on on Epstein’s island features extensively in the file. It’s been interesting to see everyone in the elite stratum pussyfoot around Biden’s senility and corruption. Which suggests they all fear this information getting out.
That also would explain why Giselle is still alive: she’s been extremely careful to stay schtum, and she’d be a useful corroborative source if Jill or Klain needed to take someone down who was threatening to spill the beans on the Biden, um, business dealings.

“On October 12, Queensland’s Labor Government – with support from the LNP opposition – passed The Health Practitioner Regulation National Law and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2022. This law fundamentally reshapes the relationship between doctors, patients and health regulators by allowing bureaucrats to name and shame doctors, a move that the AMA’s Vice-President Dr Chris Moy properly describes as “incoherent zealotry”.
Section 59 (5) of the Act subjects health practitioners to the threat of immediate suspension of their license for contradicting public health directions and government public health messaging.”
