Ukraine Strikes Moscow Airport Expanding the War
From Armstrong Economics –
“There is no possible way to now avoid World War III. Ukraine has launched drones to attack Russian airfields making this a direct war with Russia supported by the United States, the EU, and NATO. It looks like our insane leaders who refuse to simply comply with the Minsk Agreement and allow the Donbas to declare their own independence will engulf the entire world in war just as the assassination of the Archduke in 1914.
I have stated many times, that region is dominated by sheet hatred that goes back centuries. There is no way to prevent World War as long as the West continue to support Ukraine and tells them NEVER yield to Russia. The West has resurrected not just the Cold War, but a very real Hot War.
At the 2011 WEC, I warned that war would start in 2014. Our computer even targeted Ukraine and the place it would all begin. We will have a front row seat to witness the decline and fall of Western Civilization all for the bitter hatred that will never be resolved in that entire region any more than the conflict between Sunni v Shite in the Middle East.
Beware of January. So many models have been point to January 2023 as even the strongest target in 2023. Zelensky is out of his mind, or he is deliberately seeking to compel Putin to respond with deadly force and then run to NATO to seek IMMEDIATE admission and a declaration of war. Zelensky has made it clear. His objective is what the Ukrainian Nazis have always desired – the total defeat and annellation of Russia as a country.”
I have just read a most amazing article on using repurposed existing drugs in combination to defeat some of the most serious cancers. Had I not been aware of the successful use of existing drugs (resisted by both Big Pharma & governments) to treat Covid 19, I might have been sceptical. This is worth reading. I originally found it in the substack of Dr. Tess Lawrie the UK doctor who has led the opposition to the usual treatment for Covid.

thefrollickingmole posted something yesterday afternoon about some barrister and her new book “How Many More Women?” and her mournful retelling of Brittany’s travails blah blah blah.
All done by essentially repeating Brittany’s story.
I wonder if she ever thought to try the same thing for Bruce, just as a thought experiment, perhaps to see how much she was blinded by clinging to one side – her own side.
His story which would be that he went out and had some drinks with some contractors and Brittany, who was already there and at the very least in a ‘silly’ state of inebriation. They agreed to take an Uber when they finished and decided along the way they would pop into the Minister’s office to get a little top up. Brittany was happy enough to go along and did just that. Once there she flopped onto the sofa and the night’s excesses caught up with her. Bruce sought to wake her but she was dead to the world. He left – after all, it is one of the safest buildings in Australia.
For months he sees Brittany or people ‘supporting’ her popping up and telling a story about a night many months ago such that he does not recognise himself or the events as retailed. Every day more and more people pile upon him and condemned him, yet no one has bothered to ask him his side. Every day more media, talking heads, and government groups rally to her cause. Perhaps a few including the word ‘alleged’ when intoning the wretched tale of the poor naive girl preyed upon by a degenerate lecher, but in that tone of voice that makes it clear that it is merely a legalistic pro forma that should not in any way be allowed to cloud the matter at hand – Brittany’s vestal purity and Bruce’s criminal brutishness.
He has had to retain counsel – more than a pretty penny – and tried to prepare a defence for the court case, but even that is not a real relief since we are familiar with cases where ineptitude, malice, white lies by way of perjury or convenient lapses of memory, and other species of skullduggery have seen innocent people imprisoned. No person who is innocent strolls into a court fully convinced that the truth will set them free.
In all this time, having been reviled and smeared by a slavering media (who are bad enough) but also condemned by people around water coolers for whom the entire affair is an occasion for idle gossip, where people with enormous gaps in their knowledge trade juicy ill-informed, titillating tidbits like a soap opera. His career is over and no matter what he will be treated as an undesirable, always viewed with suspicion that he really was guilty. No matter what the results of the court case people will cling to the opinion they have already formed.
Seriously – you would be hesitant to eat in a restaurant in case someone in the kitchen decided you needed to be punished and spat in your food.
Then comes the court case – whoops! One of Brittany’s champions blabs on TV and forces the judge to postpone the case. The whole ordeal is being dragged further. Court wheels around again. As opposed to the circus performances on the other side he has listened to his lawyers and done everything he could to cooperate with the court. He wants the court case to go through – wants the evidence displayed, wants to have accusations addressed, wants a chance to put his side in an arena where all are equal.
Then there is some suspicious misdeed by a jury and the whole is called off once more, and he is informed it will start again.
Then the DPP announces they will not be trying the case again, and that although Bruce was not found ‘not guilty’ in a court, that does not mean that he is not guilty elsewhere.
And the mob laps it up.
So, lady barrister, if you run through the above scenario, reflect on what Bruce’s version would be, that maybe falling in the Brittany cheer squad might be a little less straightforward and justifiable as you so glibly see it now? All Bruce has wanted is a day in court – a level playing field. Brittany’s mob, on the other hand, have done all they could to keep things where they have an absolute advantage.
And, for all that, I personally still don’t claim to know of his innocence or guilt. I just believe that both sides should be able to have their say.
Whoa.
That was another rant.
And when a guy objects, he will be accused of being ‘fragile’.

Ukraine Strikes Moscow Airport Expanding the War
Moscow airport? Which one? (although any strike on Moscow will be a dramatic and incredibly dangerous escalation).
That could never happen, you’re just using a slippery slope fallacy!
Oh.. wait..
Could well work! Putin is also out of his mind … The scary part of bombing Russian bombers is that this may cook off a nuke [or someone false flags that]. Putin will then happily nuke Ukraine with his low yield arms in retaliation. And China, India, and most of the rest of the world will not blame him! It’s defence and response in kind.

Ukraine Strikes Moscow Airport Expanding the War
From Armstrong Economics –
“Ukraine has launched drones to attack Russian airfields…..”
The headline doesn’t match the text. Moscow airport > Russian airfields.
Brittany brought this upon herself.
There was no need to reveal herself to the public. She could have remained anonymous.
There was no need to testify in court. She could have testified via audio/visual link.
There was definitely no need to go to the media.
The Georgia steal reserve is in De Kalb county. Currently 75% counted with Warnock getting 90% of the vote 177K to 18K.

Paging Malcolm Naden.

We have heard that there is little popular support in Russia for the attacks in the Ukraine – or at least to be conscripted to go fight there.
Attacks on Russian soil might trigger a different sentiment. It would seem incomprehensible to many of us perhaps but I suspect given their history, Russians are brought up with spirited tales of valiant defences their country verging almost on religious duty.
Or maybe not. Maybe all the young un’s of fighting age brought up in post Soviet Russia reject the idea of a sacred inviolable Mother Russia as something that will take more than it gives them.

If you wonder why we’ve been treated like shit on Twitter for years –
Even now when people go camping, and eventually drift off to sleep in their tents, the tents themselves ringing the fire tell each other scary stories. And one story that comes up time and again is about a tent in Vietnam…
Apart from Terror of Tents he was known as Folding Fuhrer for how strictly he demanded the stock of blankets be folded, and the Movietone Marauder who so terrified the troops watching movies that many said that they would never take their eyes off the flickering screen, so terrified to look into the dark which, under Bob’s baleful spell, would seem to stare back with demonic malice.
Then he came back here and taught kids.
Trump controls the RNC and its money, you dolt. McConnell endorsed Walker.
Mind you, cutting bait on Walker for the run-off was probably the smart play as it was clear he’s a loser. Which also rebounds on Trump who picked him in the first place.

DeSantis plans to hold manufacturers “accountable” for alleged severe side effects & injuries from COVID shots.
“They said there were no side effects & we know that there have been a lot.”
“We saw an 86% increase in cardiac related activity in people aged 18 to 39”
“The rest of his appointments were grifters and chancers.
His [Trump’s] staff selection was appalling.”
I think he believed that while the establishment repubs might not have liked him, and might not even have supported what he wanted to do, that they wouldn’t go so far as to actively undermine him, him being “on the same side” and all that. But they did, even when what he was doing was clearly being beneficial for the economy and “regular” Americans*
There’s a lot to dislike about Trump the man – he’s loud, opinionated, obnoxious, crude and says nasty things about people who attack him or anything he supports.
But he never started a new war, he arranged to end one (Afghanistan), he got peace treaties between Israel and some muslim countries, he kept Putin out of Ukraine, he settled Kim in north Korea down, he held Xi and co in check, he got the US to near enough as makes no difference to energy independence, he tightened the borders, he got the lowest black and hispanic unemployment rate since such stats have been kept, he got general unemployment down, wages up and inflation under control as well as the stock market and the economy in general doing well. Hell, he even turned Twitter around from their pre-2016 downward stock price trend. He played by what he believed were the rules, only to have the hard truth that it is influence and deep state grifters that have the real control of power in the US.
That he was an outsider, was well known, and was known to be a ‘results’ man were all the things that got him elected in the first place, but also the very same things that annoyed the establishment “professional” politicians and the deep state. They all assumed that, like them, there would be corruption and other skeletons in his closet, by try as they might (and boy did they try!) they never got anything to stick.
Think I’m being too kind to him? Consider how much he was everyone’s darling while he was just a reality TV start and successful businessman. Then consider what they are trying on with Elon Musk now, and how he was also their “hero” not so very far in the past. Hopefully what Trump started and Elon continued, will grow further and we can get back to common sense and reality – either with or without either or both of them.

An old farmer went to town to see a movie. The ticket agent asked “Sir, What’s that on your shoulder?” The old farmer said “That’s my pet rooster chucky. Wherever I go chucky goes”. “I’m sorry sir” said the ticket agent “we can’t allow animals in the Theatre”.
The old farmer went around the corner and stuffed the bird down his pants. He returned to the booth, bought a ticket, entered the theatre and sat down next to two old widows named Mildred and Marge. The movie started and the rooster began to squirm. The old farmer unzipped his pants so chucky could stick his head out and watch the movie.
“Marge” whispered Mildred. “What?” said Marge. “I think the guy next to me is a pervert”. “What makes you think so?” asked Marge. “He unzipped his pants and he has his thing out” whispered Mildred. “Well, don’t worry about it” said Marge “at our age we’ve seen ’em all”. “I thought so too” said Mildred “but this one’s eatin’ my popcorn!”

Australia is quite defencible. If we had the will the means would follow.
Indeed, but that would impact on the self image of the ADF, and particularly the regular element.
Does Australia need to be able to fight a Vietnam-style ground war in our own forests?
This would be a very useful tactic, but the capability to do so is at best tenuous. Developing that capability would impact severely on the self image of the Army, which wishes to be able to fight a peer enemy overseas, alongside the US or UK.
Or is the defence plan entirely won or lost in the air?
Air and sea are our best chance to keep the size of any force landed in Australia to a manageable level, and should get priority. The devil is in the detail of acquisition, which reflects the desires of the Navy and Air Force to be able to fight a peer enemy overseas alongside the US or UK. This process does not necessarily produce a Navy and Air Force suitable for the defence of the continent.

AUSMIN talks: Solution to Australia’s looming submarine capability gap is crystallising
BEN PACKHAM / THE AUSTRALIAN
The solution to Australia’s looming submarine capability gap is crystallising. It’ll be the US to the rescue.
US Defence Secretary Lloyd Austin said today that America “will not allow Australia to have a capability gap going forward”.
So, after decades of dithering over a Collins-class submarine replacement, Australia will rely on the US to fill the gap between the conventional boats’ retirement and the eventual arrival of nuclear-powered subs.
The commitment, after AUSMIN talks in Washington DC, is welcome. But it’s not an ideal situation for Australia.
Details of the plan will emerge next year after the completion of the AUKUS submarine task force’s report in March.
But Secretary Austin’s assurance all but confirms Australia will make the leap to nuclear propulsion without an interim conventional submarine.
It suggests US submarines will operate from Australia, with more Australians serving aboard them.
It could also mean the leasing or sale of US boats to Australia, but without the experience to run them, they will likely be US-commanded assets.
Australia will inevitably cede sovereign control over a key element of the nation’s defence capability.
The talks, between Secretary Austin, Secretary of State Antony Blinken, and the Australian counterparts Richard Marles and Penny Wong, came just days after the unveiling of America’s most potent strategic bomber yet – the B21 Raider.
Austin said there was no discussion of selling the B21 to Australia.
“I’d like to get the first B21 tested and fully outfitted before we have those kinds of discussions,” he said.
Fair enough.
But he hinted the B21 could rotate through Australian bases in the future, offsetting Australia’s submarine capability gap.
As Austin said: “It is a very, very capable platform. And I think it will provide tremendous capability to our joint and combined efforts.”
The joint statement from the meeting reveals a step-up in such rotations, with the allies “to identify priority locations in Australia to support enhanced US force posture”.
Australian bases will have their runways upgraded and get more fuel and ordnance storage, to accommodate US fighters and bombers.
The US Army will join the US Marine Corps in rotating its forces through Australia, with “expanded locations” for cooperation beyond Darwin, where the current joint-training is centred.
The other significant announcement from the AUSMIN meeting was an invitation for Japan to join US force posture initiatives in Australia.
This is a major development, offering Japan’s 250,000-person Self-Defence Force access to Australia’s world-class defence exercise areas.
It will greatly strengthen the interoperability of the nations’ military forces, in a development that is likely to unsettle Beijing. That’s a good thing.
I enjoyed that rant, Lode. Always helps to check the thing inside out, or at least take a look at the rear view.
It could easily have happened that way. Zero evidence it did, but that’s the same for the entire knickerless melange.
All the fellows cheering for trial by feelz will think differently when it happens to them.

We have heard that there is little popular support in Russia for the attacks in the Ukraine – or at least to be conscripted to go fight there.
Mrs Speedbox was back in Russia recently and her reports are at odds with what we are told via the MSM. To be fair, she was in Kislovodsk and nearby Pyatigorsk which are both are small cities (pop 140-150,000) in southern Russia so the samples of opinion are small. With that caveat, she noted that everybody was certain that the conflict in Ukraine was, in fact, a proxy war with the USA. More broadly, that realisation was fuelling a ‘defend the Motherland’ mindset and as a consequence, the recent mobilisation of military reserves was fully supported.
Of course, there are always those who do not support war in almost any circumstances, but we must be very wary of MSM claims of wholesale opposition.
…….Russians are brought up with spirited tales of valiant defences their country verging almost on religious duty.
You better believe it. Russian defence of the Motherland during WW2, and the necessity to defend Russia into the future, is very deeply etched into the national psyche. This cannot be overstated. Think of a redneck good ol’ boy in the USA armed to the teeth and his patriotism to America. It may be a caricature but that is a fair facsimile of how most Russians think – and virtually all the men have military training. Under no circumstances should Russian resolve to defend the Motherland be underestimated.
Maybe all the young un’s of fighting age brought up in post Soviet Russia reject the idea of a sacred inviolable Mother Russia as something that will take more than it gives them.
Despite my comments above, there is always going to be a few. But even so, when push comes to shove and Russian soil is invaded, I wouldn’t be certain that all of those individuals would flee rather than fight. Separately, I don’t necessarily agree that Russia ‘takes more than it gives’. It is a different lifestyle but Russia is not a miserable country occupied by depressed miserable people. For anybody with an ounce of entrepreneurialism, there are vast opportunities. Plus remember that school/Uni is free (among a host of other things) and energy is cheap. Some people will always struggle but that is not unique to Russia.

Some of us don’t believe it’s not humiliating to be dependent on a big brother for defending the nation after 100+ years.

Another Montypox narrative bites the dust..
The Democrats didnt contact twitter….
https://jonathanturley.org/2022/12/04/six-degrees-from-james-baker-a-familiar-figure-reemerges-with-the-release-of-the-twitter-files/
Baker has been featured repeatedly in the Russian investigations launched by the Justice Department, including the hoax involving the Russian Alfa Bank. When Clinton campaign lawyer Michael Sussmann wanted to plant the bizarre false claim of a secret communications channel between the Trump campaign and the Kremlin, Baker was his go-to, speed-dial contact. (Baker would later testify at Sussmann’s trial). Baker’s name also appeared prominently in controversies related to the other Russian-related FBI allegations against Trump. He was effectively forced out due to his role and reportedly found himself under criminal investigation. He became a defender of the Russian investigations despite findings of biased and even criminal conduct. He was also a frequent target of Donald Trump on social media, including Twitter. Baker responded with public criticism of Trump for his “false narratives.”
After leaving the FBI, Twitter seemed eager to hire Baker as deputy general counsel. Ironically, Baker soon became involved in another alleged back channel with a presidential campaign. This time it was Twitter that maintained the non-public channels with the Biden campaign (and later the White House). Baker soon weighed in with the same signature bias that characterized the Russian investigations.
uh huh.. here’s a succinct summary for you, M0nty.
Dickless happy about the commie warnock winning. The map tells it (apart from the ongoing fraud) all:

Trump continues to go down the rabbit hole of the 2020 election. He will lose the republican primary if he continues to do this. He is just getting boring.
Trump should talk about for 2024:
Inflation
Energy insecurity
War in Ukraine
CRT in schools
etc
All points where Biden is weak or has no answer.
Time to move on.
He is just getting boring.
Yeah, we should accept shrillary’s argument which she used about Benghazi and the death of the US ambassador and 4 of his bodyguards because she and the black kunt did nothing to rescue them, that it made no difference now. Bygones should be bygones.
Trump’s point is that massive fraud has occurred and if you ignore it it’ll happen again. If you find that boring go and play in the traffic.
I take that back. It is extremely boring!
The only way for anything to change is for Trump to get back in Power. For the next 2 years the Democrats have the Senate and the GOP has the house. Nothing is going to happen.
So he has to win the next election to be able to do anything. I would concentrate on the issues that resonate with peoples everyday lives. He will not win votes crying about how he was wronged.
Based on the constitution he can’t do much as President anyway. The elections are a state matter.
In reality, it will be so tight that the Democrats will win any meaningful votes with RINO support:
Trump investigation?: YES [RINOs vote with Dems as no one is above the law]
Hunter investigation?: NO [Rinos vote against as this is old ground covered / political witch-hunt]
Correct. Ignore monty’s nonsense that Trump is the RNC and controls their finances. If that were the case they wouldn’t have been starving critical states and funds in order to sandbag Murkowski in Alaska. Absolutely clear RNC couldn’t care less about the GA Senate seat, from all accounts they made no effort to get early ballots in like CA Republicans have done and done successfully. If DeSantis was serious about a Presidential run in 2024 he might have lent his support and used an unlikely victory as capital in the primaries. However, he probably recognized that the RNC was going to let this one go, as they did in Nov, and let the jackals win their prize.
Saw Joe Rogan reading out the EULA on what TikTok can collect from users … apparently where you are/been, what apps you have and even keystrokes.
Musk may be on a winner if he highlights the above and stops any equiv Twitter data mining [not sure how that will affect Twitter revenues]
Walker has conceded to Warnock in Georgia. Margin currently above two points and will likely settle around three.
The RNC is in Trump’s pocket.
Daughter: “Daddy what are sanctions?”
Father: “Nothing to worry about kiddo.”
He’s talked about those, certainly in that speech a few weeks back, but what I’d like to see more of is less complaining about 2020 and more gaming like the Dems did in 2020. Bank those early votes before Election Day, and in states were you can, clean up the voting system.
I mean, it’s funny that you would deny that Trump controls the Republican Party. You are desperately trying to cling on to a lie that it isn’t Trump that has white-anted the party for years now, hoovering up cash donations for himself, picking dud candidates and not spending enough to support them.
Mind you, I doubt DeSantis would be much better at that sort of thing. The whole party is full of grifters.

The RNC is in Trump’s pocket.
Nothing is in your pocket dickless.
No Republican can win in 2024. That is clear as crystal whilst the Dems have control over the election machinery. Which isn’t going to change because they also have control of the state security apparatus.
The problem isn’t Trump, it’s that the Left have decided they don’t need to do democracy stuff any more. So the US is going to die, and the Dems are the murderers of it.
[…] The committee’s chairwoman, Ronna McDaniel — who’s the niece of Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah), a prominent Trump critic — was handpicked by the former president after his 2016 win. And while the two political parties have historically selected new chairs after they lose control of the White House, she was reelected last year without facing any opposition.
“The RNC — most of those folks were put into place over the course of the four years by Donald Trump,” former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R), a Trump ally-turned-critic, said on ABC’s “This Week” on Sunday. “And so, it’s certainly — Ronna Romney McDaniel is carrying water for Donald Trump in this regard.”

Ron Paul: The ‘Twitter Papers’ reveal the totalitarians among us
I admit to being skeptical of Elon Musk as a free speech hero. He has moved from one US government-subsidized business to another on his path to becoming the world’s richest person. But there is no denying that his release of the “Twitter Papers” this past weekend, which blew the lid off government manipulation of social media, has been a huge victory for those of us who value the First Amendment.
The release, in coordination with truly independent journalist Matt Taibbi, demonstrated indisputably how politicians and representatives of “official Washington” pressed the teams that were then in charge of censorship at Twitter to remove Tweets and even ban accounts that were guilty of nothing beyond posting something the power-brokers did not want the general public to read. Let’s not forget that many of those demanding Twitter censorship were US government officials who had taken an oath to the US Constitution and its First Amendment.
It is important to understand that both US political parties were involved in pushing Twitter to censor information they didn’t like. There is plenty of corruption to go around.
However, as the Twitter Papers demonstrated, vastly more Tweets were censored at the demand of Democratic Party politicians simply because Twitter employees on the censorship team were overwhelmingly Democratic Party supporters.
Perhaps the most damning piece of evidence released in this first installment of the Twitter Papers was a series of Tweets from the Biden 2020 campaign to its contact inside Twitter asking that the social media censor them. An internal Twitter document shows that the censor team “handled these,” meaning censored them.
Elon Musk himself openly stated before the release that, prior to his taking control of the company and engaging in mass firing, Twitter had been manipulating elections. So all those years we heard lies from the Washington elites that Russia was interfering in our elections when after all it was Twitter.
Of course that raises the question about other large social media companies like Facebook. Will Mark Zuckerberg come clean about his own company’s election interference? Will anyone have the courage to demand that he do so?
How did they get away with all of this? As another truly independent journalist, Glenn Greenwald, pointed out on the Tucker Carlson show the night the “Twitter Papers” were released, while it was once controversial for the CIA to attempt to manipulate what Americans consume in the mainstream media, nowadays these outlets openly hire “former” US intelligence leaders and officers as news analysts. CNN, MSNBC, Fox, and the rest of them all bring on “former” members of the intelligence services to tell Americans what to think.
Greenwald told Tucker:
“Big tech censorship is a critical tool of the national security state. Whenever anyone tries to do anything about it these former people from the CIA and the Pentagon and the rest jump up and say ‘we cannot allow you to restore free speech.’”
This is a corruption scandal so massive that it is almost guaranteed to never be properly investigated.
Government itself is among the most guilty and we know “government commissions” are really about covering up rather than uncovering the crimes committed.
But the truth is powerful. Some 58 years after the Warren Report whitewashed the assassination of President Kennedy, polls show that few Americans believe the “official” narrative.
If that were true he’s undermining his own candidates. But it isn’t, you just have to listen to anyone connected to America First to understand that the RNC over the last five years has been a terrible ally to Trump. BTW, the fact that Ronna is tied to Romney tells you everything you need to know.
Brussels bailing out Ukraine will ruin Europe for generations, Hungary’s Orbán warns
Hungarian Prime Minister Victor Orbán warned on Friday that European policies advocating for mass joint borrowing among EU member states to continue funding Ukraine’s resistance to the Russian invasion will have devastating consequences.
The Hungarian leader told Good morning, Hungary!
that EU sanctions on Russian energy are bound to fail, and that “not only our children, but also our grandchildren will suffer the consequences” of a mass borrowing scheme proposed by the EU, adding that potentially insolvent states will require support as well.
Orbán reiterated Hungary’s opposition, and suggested that agreements to support Ukraine should be at the national level via bilateral agreements between individual countries, ReMix reports.
He highlighted that Ukraine has now found itself in a situation whereby it is incapable of functioning as an independent nation because of the ongoing conflict, and while it needs help from its neighbors and allies in the short-term, it is not for Brussels to speak on behalf of all member states.
What’s more, Orbán believes that any further sanctions on Russian gas or nuclear energy would have “tragic consequences,” and argued that Hungary should be exempt from such a decision.
Hungary refuses to provide training for Ukrainian troops
DeSantis cleaned up Florida – and instead of winning by an expected 10%, won by 20! “De-fortifying” is something that must happen. [And why the Dems HAD to win Arizona, Nevada and Pensylvania to prevent clean up there] Flipping those in a presidential election will give the win.
Amusingly… Given the state of the play, as it therefore is nigh on impossible to win the presidency, the Liberal drive to change from an electoral college voting republic to a popular democracy – where all votes determine presidency – may backfire. As major states like Florida, Texas and the rest are cleaned up … these may deliver the majority! [Prob the only hope for the US]. I’d LMAO if that happened! Be fitting.
The party in 2015 was a mess, largely created by a RNC that preferred candidates like McCain, Romney, and Jeb, and whose election division was a complete disaster compared to that of the Dems.
If only Trump actually did control the Republican Party!
Alas He’s gotta fight them, probably harder than has has to fight the totalitarian fascists.
Keith Windschuttle in fine form over at Quadrant:
The term “truth telling” emerged in South Africa after that country abandoned apartheid in 1991. It described the series of public commissions and forums staged to denounce the sins of the previous white supremacist regime. In Australia, the most detailed account available of how something similar will happen here is in Henry Reynolds’s book Truth-Telling, published by the University of New South Wales Press in 2021. Its contents deserve to be better known if Australian electors are to be properly informed about what they are voting for at any referendum for the Voice. As the book declares on the cover blurb, its political ambitions are far reaching:
Truth-Telling shows exactly why our national war memorial must acknowledge the frontier wars, why we must change the date of our national day, and why treaties are important.
Reynolds’s book says that the most important war Australia has experienced took place over 140 years as the British invasion spread across the Australian frontiers from 1788 until the 1920s. He claims that Aborigines defended their land across the entire continent and their death toll of more than 100,000 warriors was greater than the total number of Australian soldiers killed in all the overseas wars in our subsequent history. We have long established the Australian War Memorial in Canberra to commemorate the latter who died defending their country but Reynolds complains we have done nothing to remember the Aborigines who did the same for their own country. According to him, the war against the Aborigines was by far the more important because it defined the nation more indelibly than the Anzac tradition ever could.
Read on….
“If only Stalin knew!!”
What a stupid comment.
We couldn’t be lucky enough for Trump to be controlling the Republican party.
He’s badly needed, to preserve western liberal democracy.
True Dat.
The problem with RINOs is that they are traitors and have sold their souls for lucre, privilege and power. Their only way forward is to depend on the opposition [Democrats] to keep them there. The Dems (and this includes the media in this case) will protect them ensuring they have no credible primary opposition (i.e. media attacks etc damaging better opponents). A win in a seat otherwise lost to say a MAGA candidate will be a vote that they can keep on calling on as and whenever they need.
These US election races are nearly always won by the horse who is trailing by a lot coming into the home (not so) straight.
You only have to listen to the true patriots in the Party to know that it is traitors within the Party who have betrayed our Dear Leader!
Our Leader can not fail, he can only be failed! Anyone who is connected to the previous regime must be an agent of Eurasia! The purges will continue until morale improves.
Reynolds is right.
The problem isn’t Trump, it’s that the Left have decided they don’t need to do democracy stuff any more. So the US is going to die, and the Dems are the murderers of it.
Correct. The horse has bolted. Watching the Five. Discussion about the rise of petty crime, shoplifting, assaults etc. 2 things are responsible: no enforcement is a given; the second is more complex. The left/woke thrive by designating victims. If you have the status of victimhood then entitlements flow including being above the law because racist/misogynism. Case in point; in californication an armed robber is hot at by a guard; the robber shoots back and kills the guard. The robber is not charged because self defence.
TIME Magazine admits ‘election denier’ is nonsense invented to smear GOP
Elle Purnell – The Federalist
If ‘election denier’ doesn’t describe what Hakeem Jeffries and other Democrats did in 2016, then it doesn’t mean anything at all.
Time Magazine claimed that Democrat and soon-to-be House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries’ refusal to accept the results of the 2016 presidential election as legitimate doesn’t count as “election denial” because he’s not a Trump-supporting Republican, in a tacit admission that “election denier” is a nonsense phrase that only exists to make Republicans look like “threats to democracy.”
In the Friday piece, Time staff writer Jasmine Aguilera admitted, “In tweets, news interviews, and House hearings, Jeffries called to question the legitimacy of Trump’s election.” She even embedded posts from the Republican National Committee with screenshots of Jeffries’ tweets saying Trump and his “buddies in the Kremlin” were “trying to steal the election” and that “history” would “never accept” Trump as a “legitimate president.”
In another post, Jeffries said that “the more we learn about 2016 election the more ILLEGITIMATE it becomes. America deserves to know whether we have a FAKE President in the Oval Office.”
Despite including some of the very evidence showing Jeffries’ election skepticism, Aguilera insisted,
“Calling Jeffries an ‘election denier’ is misleading and conflates different issues.” Why is it misleading? Because Time wants you to associate “election denialism” — a grammatically ridiculous phrase anyway, since no one is denying that an election happened — only with the right.
As a result, the magazine says, the smear exists to describe Republican Trump voters only.
The term ‘election denier’ has taken on a particular meaning, however, after Trump’s failed re-election campaign. The phrase has come to be associated with Republicans who claim the 2020 election was stolen from Trump, assert without evidence there was fraud in 2020 voting, and cast doubt on secure voting systems — claims that lead to the deadly January 6, 2021 riot at the U.S. Capitol.
Claims of a “stolen” election? Democrats like Jeffries did that in 2016. Accusations of fraud? Democrats only, you know, insisted that an entire foreign country rigged our election, based on a bogus dossier that was commissioned by the Hillary Clinton campaign. “Cast doubt on secure voting systems”? Yep.
The piece says Republicans exercising their freedom of speech to raise concerns about the unprecedented administration of the 2016 election would “lead to the deadly January 6, 2021 riot at the U.S. Capitol.” (Legacy media outlets love to describe the events of Jan. 6 as “deadly,” to evoke the mortality rates of events such as 9/11 or Pearl Harbor or the Civil War, all of which they’ve compared the Capitol riot to. In reality, of the five people who died, one died of a heart attack, another of a stroke, and another of an accidental drug overdose. A Capitol Police officer died of stroke-related “natural causes” the next day.
The only participant killed by another person was a demonstrator shot to death by police.)
Election protests-turned-violent are nothing new to Democrats, however; in 2016, nationwide demonstrations by “tens of thousands” over Trump’s election “resulted in at least 124 arrests and reports of damage, vandalism and injuries in several locations.”
Aguilera continued her attempt to differentiate Republican “election denial” from Democrats’ totally-above-board-and-not-at-all-the-same behavior:
The actions taken by Trump and his supporters leading up to 2020 election and after were unprecedented. Trump stoked false conspiracies of voter fraud, filed more than 60 election-related lawsuits, and pressured officials to interfere with election results.
The now-debunked Russia collusion hoax sure seems to fit the “false conspiracies” description. Lawsuits? Democrats sued Trump and the GOP in four swing states in 2016 over trumped-up charges of a “coordinated campaign of vigilante voter intimidation.” Even two years later in 2018, the Democratic National Committee sued Trump, his son, his son-in-law, campaign officials, Russia, and WikiLeaks with accusations of “conspiring to disrupt the 2016 presidential election,” as CNBC reported. Democrat operatives such as lawyer Marc Elias (formerly of Perkins Coie, the law firm that hired Fusion GPS to come up with the Steele dossier for the Clinton campaign) file countless election-related lawsuits and get puff pieces in The Washington Post in return.
Pressuring officials to “interfere with election results”? Democrats don’t have to apply much pressure.
In 2016, the FBI launched its “Crossfire Hurricane” investigation into the Trump campaign purportedly on the basis of the Steele dossier around the same time FBI agents Peter Strzok and Lisa Page were discussing how Trump was “not ever going to become president” because “We’ll stop it.”
In 2020, Big Tech companies interfered in the election by censoring stories like the Hunter Biden laptop bombshell, as well as throttling journalists and elected officials who dissented from the official narrative on Covid and other issues.
Reynolds is right.
Bullshit. The 3rd nations are tools of the left in their endeavour to destroy the nation. The ANZACs established a tradition of competence, bravery and loyalty. The 2 are antithetical. Just like you and dickless with common sense, reason and patriotism.
It is educational, listening to you lot defending Trump. This zombie cult of personality stuff is the sort of attitude that is why Trump is still up 20 points in the Republican primary polls. Electoral reality matters not, that is just further evidence of treachery against Dear Leader and reinforces your devotion.
It is hilarious that you turn on poor old custard and make fun on his delirious conspiracy theorising, then turn around and spin stories of an even greater spider web of global plots against your party. You are more ridiculous than Q – at least Q had an idea of what was needed for your policy platform to be enacted (i.e. military coup), you can’t even acknowledge that and instead pretend that the people are with you.
If you have gotten this far and you’re still a MAGA devotee you are just hoping, like Trump himself, for some good ole boys to load up for bear and do all the work of insurrection on your behalf. Well, the ones who organised the last riot are all in gaol, so the next generation can be excused for being a bit gun shy.

Seattle votes to permanently terminate 80 police positions despite critically low staffing levels and record-breaking homicides
City officials are continuing to ‘Defund the Police’ even though crime levels have risen in the wake of 2020’s Black Lives Matter protests.
Seattle City Council voted this week to permanently remove 80 Seattle police positions despite critically low staffing levels and a record-breaking increase in homicides throughout the city.
On Tuesday, Seattle City Council approved their 2022-2023 budget which rerouted funds that were initially reserved for hiring 200 positions in the Seattle Police Department. Council slashed 80 of those positions, leaving the department with a budget for only 120, according to Seattle Times.
However, it is going to be a particularly challenging task for the Seattle Police Department to come even remotely close to hiring 120 police personnel when officers are leaving the department in droves as the city continues their war on police.
More than 500 officers have left the department since the notorious “Defund the Police” movement in 2020 following the death of George Floyd, and more are on their way out the door.
According to data from Seattle PD, the city has seen a record-breaking number of homicides this year, surpassing the reported amount in 2021, which also broke city records.
Richard Cranium still snorting a possibly illegal substance?
A war in which no medals or campaign honours were awarded, which was not mentioned in the personal diaries and regimental records of the British Army units based in Australia, left minimal or no archeological evidence?
It is still possible to follow the course of the Battle of the Little Big Horn on site, using cartridge cases and other relics, but such cannot be found here? When the casualties at the Little Big Horn were vastly less?
Get real, Dick Head. Reynolds is (like you) a fantasist with an ulterior agenda.
Very instructive.
Mysterious 5,000-year-old owl-like plaques may have been ancient toys
Study of 5,000-year-old Copper Age owl-like plaques suggests that they may have been ancient toys made by children.
Over 4,000 owl-like slate plaques have been found at burial sites in the south-western Iberian Peninsula. They date from a period between 5,400 to 4,750 years ago, often sharing several characteristics, such as engraved circles as eyes, and an outlined body at the bottom representing the plumage of an owl.
Researchers have theorised for more than a century about the origin and purpose of the plaques. They were through to have a ritual significance, possibly to represent deities or the deceased.
A study in the journal Scientific Reports by Juan José Negro, a researcher at the Higher Council for Scientific Research (CSIC) at the Doñana Biological Station (EBD), now suggests that the plaques were created by children using copper, flint or quartz tools, to depict owl species present in the region, and that they were likely used as dolls, toys or amulets.
One of Trump’s [and soon coming for DeSantis] problems is that whomever he supports is cancelled and they and their family destroyed. Look at what they did to Gen. Flynn!
And money is not protection. Multi billionaire Kanye supported Trump … GORN. Elon supported Trump or at least MAGA principles … And I’m watching this space very carefully [I would not be surprised if Tesla’s fined out of existence, SpaceX nationalised and Twitter bankrupted.]
Who would want to take on the Deep State? So you take what you get as they are the ones that ultimately (you hope) will be critical to make the MAGA agenda happen.

How many associated with January 6 have been indicted, tried, convicted and sentenced for the crime of “Insurrection”? Surely there must have been some by now, or is the DC legal system that incompetent?
Where’s the archaeological evidence?
It is educational, listening to you lot defending Trump.
It would be if you had a brain and a dick. You have neither just an arrogant little bump on your fat neck.
Trump did great things despite astounding obstacles. In terms of the swamp what he did was very simple: he insulted and humiliated the denizens of the swamp. Some people paid attention. Unfortunately apart from useful dickless idiots like yourself a combination of the swamp controlling the election process and the media meant that another large section of the populace remained misinformed.
The situation has moved on. Obuma is a corrupt genius: he politicised the law enforcement parts of the swamp and the upper echelons of the military. Trump for all his energy and good intentions was still naive and underestimating of the extent of the swamp. He was the last hope. DeSantis will not be capable of doing anything beyond what he has done in Florida. Brazil offers the only solution and Holland will show what will happen to the US; and Australia.
It’s not actually a defense of Trump, dumbo. That Ronna was reinstated unopposed in 2020, and that McConnell and McCarthy remained in their positions, and that all three performed as they did during his presidency and since indicates how weak Trump’s position was during his term. Then there is the question of his appointments, etc. Very few of those who support Trump, particularly in the US, are unaware or not forthcoming in recognizing and acknowledging his weaknesses and errors.
Scientists can’t explain why the unjabbed are protected against infection, ignore elephant in the room
The globalist cabal that invented and drove the make-believe COVID narrative is facing growing problems, as holes in the logic just keep getting larger over time.
Case in point: The irrational promotion of vaccine equity.1
According to the World Health Organization and other globalist strongholds, the Western world must sponsor vaccine deliveries to developing nations to make sure everyone has an equal chance at survival.2 The problem is that developing nations with the lowest COVID jab uptakes have fared no worse, and in some cases far better, than developing countries that greedily “hoarded” shots and boosters for themselves.
The African Conundrum
According to early predictions, Africa would be decimated by COVID for lack of shots,3 yet the COVID death toll in Africa has remained consistently lower than anywhere else over the past three years.
Everyone feigns surprise. No one can figure out why.
In August 2020, Science magazine reported:4
“Antibody studies suggest large numbers of infections have occurred but the death toll remains low … After testing more than 3,000 blood donors, Uyoga and colleagues estimated in a preprint5 … that one in 20 Kenyans aged 15 to 64 — or 1.6 million people — has antibodies to SARS-CoV-2, an indication of past infection.
That would put Kenya on a par with Spain in mid-May6 when that country was descending from its coronavirus peak and had 27,000 official COVID-19 deaths. Kenya’s official toll stood at 100 when the study ended. And Kenya’s hospitals are not reporting huge numbers of people with COVID-19 symptoms.”
The situation was still the same in November 2021, when media reported that Africa, where fewer than 6% of people had received a COVID shot, was among the countries least affected by COVID. Researchers theorized that “lower rates of urbanization, genetic reasons or exposure to other diseases may have spared the continent the more lethal effects of the virus.”7
No one in mainstream media has been willing to address any of the towering elephants in the room, which include the fact that the COVID shots don’t prevent cases or deaths, that natural immunity is superior, and that COVID-19 was never as lethal a threat as they said it was.
Africa gives us real-world evidence of these facts, yet the globalist cabal still insist that “vaccine equity” is an imperative goal.
Even though places like Africa didn’t have adequate access to COVID shots, and even though they fared just as well or better than the Western world where COVID shot uptake was high, the cabal insist we still need to make sure that, next time, Africa will get the same kind of injection coverage as the rest of the world.
This makes no sense, especially when you consider that the majority of COVID deaths in the U.S. and elsewhere now occur among those who got the COVID jabs.8
But, judging by the last three years, they’re not even going to try to make sense of it. Instead, they’ll simply continue to avoid talking about success stories like Africa, where COVID ended up having little impact — probably due to ultra-low injection rates — and when they do talk about it, it’ll continue to be veiled as a medical mystery.

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, America First Legal (AFL) released the fourth set of shocking documents obtained from litigation against the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) revealing further concrete evidence of collusion between the CDC and social media companies to censor free speech and silence the public square under the government’s label of “misinformation.”
This nearly 600-page release of documents contains new appalling information. Among these include the fact that Twitter ran a “Partner Support Portal” for government employees and other “stakeholders” to submit posts that it would remove or flag as “misinformation” on its platform. Documents obtained by AFL show Twitter enrolling one government employee, through their personal Twitter account, into this Portal. We know from other publicly related documents, that Facebook has copied this approach for election-related censorship.
This production also reveals that the U.S. government was actively working to “socially inoculate”–or brainwashing–the public against anything that threatened its narrative. It did so by using aligned Big Tech corporations to monitor and manipulate users for the purposes of censoring unapproved information and pushing government propaganda. For example, Facebook sent written materials to the CDC in which it bragged about censoring more than sixteen million “pieces of content” containing opinions or information the U.S. government wanted suppressed.

No, no, no, this cannot be. m0nty=fa has assured us absolutely that there was no government involvement, because that would be unconstitutional. It was only private companies making independent decisions. The Constitution remains virginal.
In other news, scientists report that the Moon is indeed made of green cheese.
Reynolds is right.
The problem is that he is just saying what he wants. There needs to be a bit more done in establishing a historical military history truth than wishful thinking.
For example, if Reynolds wants to argue that a “battle” took place, then he needs to show:
1) who fought in force a
2) who fought in force b
3) exactly when and where it took place
4) who commanded each side, and what they actually did in terms of fire and movement
– so some sort of tactical map; where each force was, and where it advanced to, or was pushed to
5) why this all happened: was there a command failure; weapons not used properly; enormous contrast between the forces, and so on. Was there a rout, and if so where?
6) how many died, and what their names were
7) where they were buried, again in relation to the map
8) what happened afterwards in terms of reward, or punishment etc: promotions, demotions, medals awarded or failure to give, and so on.
9) how the battle contributed to the overall strategic picture.
All of that above needs to be found in the primary records of the day, rather than just a mere re-telling of the story by people later – especially people who weren’t there.
This sort of thing has to be done properly. I’ll give you an example of how it’s not.
Author Dando-Collins in The Armies of Rome can be used as an example. He suggests around 80,000 British soldiers and civilians were killed in action in an AD60 battle between the forces of the warrior queen Boudicca and the Romans, north of London. This may have taken place near a village now called Mancetter, on the border of Warwickshire and Leicestershire. (Sometimes this seems to have become known also as the Battle of Stirling Street.) However, there have been seven other sites suggested for the battle, and nothing definitive in terms of archaeological evidence has been found.
The two sides met and fought. The Britons were eventually involved in a crush due to the constraints of the chosen ground hampering them; their indiscipline, and chariot tactics, and they lost badly to the legions, having nevertheless perhaps previously carrying all before them, including, some say, burning a lot of London to the ground.
The casualty figures sound most dubious especially as only about 400 Romans are given as killed. The book also gives, quoting the source Dio, that the Britons had “230,000 fighting men.” This must be seriously questioned: the population of Britain in 1000 AD was estimated at only two million; it must have been much less in Boudicca’s time.
But even given that number, to say that about half of all males of fighting age must have been in the action begs disbelief. How would they have known about the need to be there; how would they have travelled there; what would they have lived on, and where are the bodies of the slain? Dando-Collins also says the battle was never given a name; only later becoming known as the “Battle of Stirling Street.” A combat action which killed so many would have become a household word, especially as it involved one in three males in the population of the English at the time.
Are such exaggerations utilised because the people who are winning want to show how fierce they are, and how important the battle was? Is it because people – even beyond the battle personnel, and including the country – who are losing want to exaggerate the scale of the loss, to show how fiercely they fought, and how heavy was their sacrifice?

Trouble is, TE, you’re interested in trying to determine the truth. Reynolds, like m0nty, doesn’t believe in the concept. For them it’s all about advancing a narrative. Their narrative versus your narrative. The idea that one might be closer to the truth is an alien idea they can’t handle.
It is much worse than that I reckon. These leftard deviants were providing and enabling voice and therefore influence to these depraved sickos as they preyed on children, while the supporters of the party in the WH were working on simultaneously silencing those speaking out against their abhorrence. That makes it official policy in my book.
So when this turd mOron is on here pontificating about his beloved “progressive” Dems, we should all understand exactly what it his he supporting and running interference for. The Dems are trying to lower the voting age in California, next it will be the age of consent.

Lisa did her best for Lehrmann by getting the Trial postponed.

The news is that he is pursuing defamation. He’s engaged top Sydney defamation lawyer Mark O’Brien (who acts for BRS).

MSM has very quickly become irrelevant. Depp won with Twitter, YouTube and Rumble etc independent “journalists” and legal commentators covering the story. [Amber wasn’t a big donor or sucker up to (of off?) the Dems. Her Holywood career was finished anyways]. And Twitter is now even MORE free. I’d say the appetite to see another “Me Too” ho go down will make it GLOBALLY viral.
Good if he does, but he’s going up against the entire leftist-authoritarian complex.
Which means it will be extremely mentally draining, and extremely expensive.
The chance of success isn’t high either. Justice these days is hard to come by.
The alternative is change one’s name and go on with life.

They slaughtered the Native People.

Prove that the supposed “slaughter” actually happened.

Otherwise it’s like saying that 10,000 died at the Battle of Hastings, as some do. No-one’s ever proved it, so it’s just a dubious story.
Uh huh.
The Battle of Hastings never happened, is that what you’re trying to say?
No. It was a test of your ability to comprehend simple sentences.

More accurately: I haven’t written any book – I wouldn’t know where to start. Truth is, I have trouble reading. I prefer cheap low-rent trolling. It’s easier.
Correct.
Prof Zharakova is probably with Prof Abdussamatov the reason why Russia doesn’t give a flying frig about stupid global warming. They know the actual effect of the Sun, which is what has influenced temperature change mostly in the last several thousand years.
TIME’s sole reason for existence is inventing nonsense.
A civil trial is held to a different burden of proof. It’s decided on the balance of probabilities, rather than beyond a reasonable doubt.
What that means for people giving evidence in civil trials is – if Brih-nee Commando thought she was given a tough time in the criminal trial, she hasn’t seen a single thing yet. The lowering of the rules of evidence mean she can be sloooowly roasted then torched, then vice versa, and thus giving her fake ‘mental health’ fallback a genuine test.

The only massacres this country has seen were all done by the 1st to 3rd nations when they exterminated the Mega Fauna and butchered the snot out of each other.
It’s not that the Battle of Hastings never happened, Ed, it’s how many died there and whether that number is provable.
Just as glibly saying 100,000 died in “the frontier wars” is a throwaway line. If it to be taken seriously, it needs to be proved.
Do try to keep up old boy.
There are plenty of photos, videos that suggest that a HUGE amount of people died. The 10-15Million is not out of the question over 20-30 years. Just because you’re incompetent and can’t find the bodies and hands on the web does not mean it didn’t happen. Next you’ll be saying that the we can’t prove that millions didn’t die in Stalin’s gulags or Mao’s Great Leap. Just remember the ovens of Auschwitz were pretty good at taking care of inconvenient evidence. Doesn’t mean it didn’t happen.
It would just be victory after victory for the redcoats. The natives would be the Washington Generals of the War Memorial.

Reynolds doesn’t seem to realise that his overestimates of deaths on one side, compared to the small numbers on the other disproves his “proud indigenous warrior” propaganda. More like lambs to the slaughter.
Not to mention the lack of military historical evidence.
As far as I can determine the annals of the various regiments of the British Army stationed here record no medals or regimental honours awarded for action in these “battles”.
No disrespect intended to those indigenous warriors who did manfully put up a fight at the time -and there were two instances of such resistance in my current vicinity that are on the historical record – but clearly the British authorities regarded these engagements as mere skirmishes or police actions. Hardly battles in a frontier war. Spears and rocks launched by a dozen or so aboriginal men proved no match for muskets.
We’ve reached the point where even knowing the truth is not enough. Not when there’s no authority willing to bring any of them to justice.
Nearing the truth on the Biden racket
The High Court has twice declared Australia was “settled” and not “Invaded.” An “Invasion” would not have allowed the establishment of “Native Title” and “Land Rights. If there was a “Frontier War”, during which the “First Nations” suffered such heavy losses, seemingly utterly defeated,what does that mean for “Native Title”, “Land Rights”, “Reparations” and a “Treaty?”

Futility of Price Controls
Somebody please tell Elbow that these price caps on Coal and Gas will not and have never worked…………..
COMMENT FROM HUNGARY: Dear Marty,
You were correct again. Price controls do not work in the long run. The Hungarian government introduced a price cap on gasoline and diesel a few months ago, but a few hours ago this evening they had to let it go(they “tried everything in their power to help but the damn bureaucrats in Brussels who voted for the sanctions”.etc etc.).
The holiday season, panic buying, no gas another nail into the trust in our government’s coffin.
Marty these people really have no clue what the hell they’re doing. We have several food products that also have price controls: Wheat, sugar, eggs, etc. And interestingly supermarkets simply stop selling them or they sell brown sugar (no price control) instead of white sugar (price controlled, the maximum amount you can purchase in one go is 3kg i believe). When will they learn (not admit) or at least stop blaming others for their own brain-dead decisions?
I honestly hope that whatever the hell comes after 2032 will be better than this nonsense.
Thanks for all you do Marty. Keep up the fight, and get some well-needed rest during the holidays. I reckon you’re getting more phone calls than usual…
All the best,
RH
ANSWER: You know the most astonishing fact is that this was not even my personal opinion. All one need do is consult history. NEVER has any attempt to freeze prices to prevent inflation EVER worked even once.
The Roman emperor Diocletian (284-305AD) tried to impose wage and price controls in an effort to prevent inflation that was soaring because of a collapse in confidence in the Roman government. The Edit on Maximum Prices was imposed during 201AD. It was an utter failure.
Even if we go back to the 4th century B.C., the Roman government bought corn (grain) and, in times of shortage, it re-sold it at a low fixed price to try to prevent inflation from shortages – as we have today. In 58BC, the Roman Senate went even further and granted every citizen free wheat. The politicians were trying to bribe the people as they are doing once again today. What happened was that the farmers began moving back to the city of Rome because they could live and eat without working – it was free. By the time Julius Caesar (100-44BC) crossed the Rubicon, one in three Romans was receiving government wheat. He was forced to create a census and found there were more people claiming welfare than there were possible people.
Those in government ALWAYS assume that since they possess a pen, they can write whatever law they desire and they will comply or be thrown in prison until they die. I was named FOREX Person of the Year in 2015 because we forecast the Euro/Swiss peg would break. I even met with the Swiss Central Bank and warned that the peg would break. I was told they would be able to hold it. I replied I think the odds are on my side since NOBODY in history has ever been able to do this. There was the British pound peh into the ERM the broking making Soros all his money. In 1997, there was the Asian Currency Crisis where all the pegs broke. then there was even Bretton Woods which was a fixed exchange rate that broke in 1971 and in 1973 I was called in for the first bank failure due to foreign exchange.
I have done my best trying to warn governments that they CANNOT fix currencies and even when they were forming the G5 with the Plaza Accord in 1985, I was called in and warned that lowering the dollar by 40% would lead to a major currency crisis and a crash by 1987. Never have they ever listened.
Perhaps, the ONLY time anyone in Europe or the United States than anyone in government ever listen was perhaps in 1997. They were starting the jawboning of the Yen for trade purposes once again. I wrote to Robert Rubin and he has Timothy Geithner respond who later became the Secretary of the Treasury. China has listened, but other than in 1997, I cannot say any central bank or government has EVER heeded my warnings that history is on my side – pegs NEVER work.”

Last week, in the Australian senate, Pauline Hanson called for a senate inquiry into the use of puberty blockers in Australia as well as what is causing the sudden surge of rapid onset gender dysphoria in children so, what do you think the Liberals in the senate did? Instead of supporting and backing Hanson’s motion, the leader of the Liberal Party in the senate, a dickhead named Senator Simon Bummingham and his offsider, a louse named Senator Andrew Bragg, supported Labor and the Greens and voted against Hanson’s proposed inquiry.
And that, ladies and gentlemen, is why the Liberals deserve to lose, and lose, and lose, and lose, and lose.
Captain Obvious moments:
1. Local indig spearing cattle and putting a nulla across the foreheads of the odd settler, although potentially shit dependent on circumstance is NOT a war; and
2. Settlers and/or mounted troopers putting a musket ball into said indig for engaging in the abovementioned conduct, although potentially shit dependent on circumstance is NOT a war.
It’s not even a conflict.
The Poms were neck deep in wars all through that period. The Napoleonic War(s), the Crimean War – you could at a stretch call the Indian Rebellions a war.
Queen Victoria did not send the Coldstream and Grenadier Guards to wipe out handfuls of nomadic tribesmen. The End.
Just wow!

I have asked you multiple times how many associated with January 6 have been indicted, tried, convicted and sentenced for the crime of “Insurrection”. Given that you have not come up with a figure, and given your known propensity to gloat, I think that it is a reasonable assumption that the answer to the question is zero, zip, nada, nil, none, bugger all.
We thus have the first unarmed insurrection in history that, almost two years later, has not seen a single indictment, much less a convictio, for “insurrection”. It seems that the whole thing is, to borrow a word from you, a nothingburger.
Unless you and the DC legal system can do better, it is time to bury this rubbish.

I had COVID on Monday. Literally, on Monday, 24 hours and then gone. Would love to know why it was so short.
Their vaccination rates are fairly typical of Europe. They have an excellent national health service. Swedes are known to be health conscious nerds. Low obesity, like their exercise. Sweden took an early big hit but that was just the sickest being taken out.
I won’t draw an conclusions yet but it is something that interests me. Sort of on my ToDo list, depends how bored I get over the coming months.
Also remember that T-man could not have been inciting insurrection in theory because he was the head of the executive branch government at the time and certainly was not inciting the overthrow of his own administration. Ditto for anyone getting care-free at the Capitol in support of the Constitutional “equal protection” clause and the right of state legislators to decide who their EC voters will be.
The insurrection argument fails in both the theory and execution.
The COVID Scam Continues
From Armstrong Economics –
“Meanwhile, Fauci, finally under oath, could not name a single study that showed that masks ever worked. Indeed, there were many studies that showed that masks never worked during the 1918 Spanis Flu. Indeed, the CDC even conceded that cloth masks never worked.
Initially, Fauci spoke the truth that masks were useless. All the studies from the 1918 Spanish Flu confirmed that masks never worked and the Washington Postsaid they were “useless.” Everyone knows that the Post is so left they could never walk a straight line. Here is a 2009 study of the 1918 Spanish Flu.
Now the head of Pfizer has refused to testify before the European Parliament. Let’s face the facts. This entire COVID scam was carried out with the full knowledge of those at the very top. It was done for the purpose of creating this Great Reset Agenda. It was being pushed by the WEF and Klaus Schwab for political purposes. Remember how the WEF was telling us it was so great to lock everyone down? And now, they claim the inflation has nothing to do with shortages, but Putin’s invasion of Ukraine. They really think everyone, of the vast majority anyhow, is outright stupid and will believe whatever they say.
These people should be removed from any power and imprisoned for life. Of course, there is no possible justice when the very people apply their laws ONLY to us, and never act in an ethical manner themselves.”

Brittany Higgins says she will take the witness stand as Bruce Lehrmann hires top defamation lawyer
Mr Lehrmann has hired one of Australia’s most feared defamation experts to examine the prospects of legal action against multiple media outlets.
Brittany Higgins has declared she is willing to take the witness stand in any defamation action as former Liberal staffer Bruce Lehrmann hired a leading lawyer to fight media outlets for damages.
After prosecutors dropped a single charge of sex without consent on Friday, Mr Lehrmann, who has always maintained his innocence, flew to Sydney to hold talks with defamation lawyers.
He has hired Mark O’Brien, one of Australia’s most feared defamation experts, to examine the prospects of legal action against multiple media outlets including Channel 10’s The Project.
No concerns notices have been sent to date, as lawyers examine a large volume of media reports and public speeches over the last two years.
“Mark O’Brien Legal is acting on behalf of Bruce Lehrmann in relation to potential defamation proceedings over a number of public statements, broadcasts, articles and social media posts concerning the recently discontinued criminal proceedings against him,’’ the law firm said in a statement.
The media hit list includes the ABC over a decision to broadcast live a speech by Ms Higgins at the press club with Grace Tame.
But Ms Higgins, who celebrated her 28th birthday alone in a Queensland mental health portfolio posted on social media that she was willing to return to court, if required, “as a witness in any potential civil cases brought about by Mr Lehrmann”.”
But, but, but…I thought Brittaneeee the Knickerless was too fragile to “testify”? So, what’s happened?
Brittaneeeeeee the Knickerless is a fraud.
At the time of the Newlands Test, Warner’s culpability was investigated by Executive General Manager Team Performance, Pat Howard; CA Senior Legal Counsel and Head of Integrity Iain Roy; and CA CEO James Sutherland.
Smith, Warner and Bancroft were charged with bringing the game into disrepute, suspended and were sent home from South Africa.
Cricket Australia then applied further sanctions, including bans from playing test cricket.
So for CA to opt for a further “cross examination” is just screwing the heel that is at Warner’s throat.
Unnecessary: the trial is over and dusted. Decisions have been made and could simply be re-stated without further cross examination.
PS the inference that Mrs Warner was sexually active with other men whilst married is wrong. That incident happened 8 years before they married.
Strictly speaking the decision to not proceed, coz “harmful to Brittany”, was made by superstar legal wizard Shane Drumgold.
Though she hasn’t popped up to say “Oi hang on a minute, if necessary I’ll take the witness stand to ensure my attacker doesn’t get away with his heinous crime”
Ted Cruz’s 14yo daughter found with self-inflicted wounds at home. She recently came out as bisexual. Geez.
The principle reason given for the trial not continuing was her mental health yet now she summons up the sane fortitude to declare she’ll enter the witness stand to fight against him.
I hope he is awarded damages down to Brittany’s last pair of knickers…
Ted Cruz’s 14yo daughter found with self-inflicted wounds at home. She recently came out as bisexual. Geez.
And you still don’t have a dick you low life piece of shit.
May you, your wife and the milkman’s kiddies have a long life.
All fair points OSC. However, I would just add:
One of those sanctions was a lifetime ban on Warner having anything to do with running the team, because he was VC at the time of Sandpapergate, and clearly unduly influencing other (grown adult, mind you) team members.
Warner is (or was) asking for the ban to be rescinded. CA haven’t given a flat ‘no’, which they could have – they said ‘okay, prove your case’. That would naturally come with some hard questions being asked, not just the midget with his Powerpoint presentation.
That’s Warner’s inference, because he’s hoping to get some sympathy mileage out of Quentin de Kock cracking at him about the pub dunny incident in the previous Test.
Warner didn’t revolutionise top order batting by scoring quickly. Matt Hayden and Virender Sehwag did that. He adds nothing to the game than Shane Watson did, and he was (and apparently still is) one of the greatest tools in the country.
The tiny cack-handed Lambo driver should have been banned for life, along with the other two. The only saving grace in the entire shambles is that Bancroft was a sliding doors victim after being suspended, and will never represent his country again.
The principle reason given for the trial not continuing was her mental health yet now she summons up the sane fortitude to declare she’ll enter the witness stand to fight against him.
The principle reason is that there was never any case for proceeding with this farce. The Federal Police new that but the politically charged ACT DPP went ahead anyway……………….Dick Heads.
