The Albanese government will allow citizenship ceremonies to be held on a day other than Australia Day.

Biden to Destroy the Fishing Industry Next
From Armstrong Economics –
“The Biden Administration is now targeting fishing. They have argued all along that boats expel more CO2 than cars, Cows, or Airplanes. So it is no surprise to now target boating imposing a 10-knot speed limit. This will end the deep sea fishing period – both for sport and food supply. This is up and down the entire East Coast. Of course, Right whales, migrate and can be seen every winter off the Atlantic coast between Jacksonville and Cap Canaveral between December and March each year. They are tourist attractions with hundreds of siting every season.
This is how government works. They just impose blank bans on the entire ocean out for 150 miles. When they did Obamacare, I lost my insurance from Blue Cross because it did not include maternity leave despite the fact I was not married and at that time men could still not get pregnant unless they were in California apparently.
Such bans with a broad brush of this nature will impact the entire industry ending much of the shipping industry as well as the ports. Why ship anything now to New York, Philadelphia, or Virginia? There go the unions!”
So save Brittany gets $3million for nothing,
They had a choice:
1.pay $3 mil.
2. Go to Court, inevitably go down in flames, poay considerably more than $3 Mil. and the other guys get their stuff back
Zapruders didn’t get the murder film back, they got $16 Mil. [while redefining chutzpah]. …which proved the spooks knocked over the only demorat POTUS worth rooting.
JFK was no good, Oswald was no good [tho he didn’t murder anybody]
and most of the published JFK Conspiracy authors were spooks themselves, working for one of the many Spook outfits.

Apparently Moreland was a bad white man

But otherwise, Musk has the resources, the youth, genius, and the energy to do to social media what he did to the space and automobile industries: revolutionize it, open it up to keener competition, and to reject stifling orthodoxy.
How sad that the Left despises a man who built real things against the odds and took risks to champion free speech. And how predictable it worshiped a leftist fraud who bilked a million investors and ruined the lives of thousands.
The hatred of the accomplished Musk and the worship of the hollow man Bankman-Fried are sad commentaries on how liberalism has descended into progressivism and ultimately into Stalinism.

Figures figured:
Left wing ideas always fail but about 20 per cent of the population are so in love with lording it over other people, they will fight hard to ensure they exist.
Roughly 82% of people are expected to be older than the 65yo retirement age when they die. So 82% of people will need some way to survive after their most productive years have ended. They cannot pay for current expenses with current productivity.
Charity can only come from a position of surplus. The only difference of L vs R here is who nominally holds the surplus, whether it is distributed over private policy holders or centralised in a social security. It either comes from other people’s current productivity or it comes from your past productivity. As the track record of Governments balancing budgets has been abysmal, and yes Left wing ideas always fail, the social security option for retirement is looking somewhere between bad and non-existent.
But where is the hope from the private sector funds (Industry + SMSF)? The retirement age keeps getting pushed back so much that Gen Y have lost hope of ever being permitted to retire and collect their super, plus recent superannuation returns have been pretty bad. Plus if the money comes from your own past productivity has the extra burden of trying to avoid the monetarist devaluation of the currency. To have personal savings invested in superannuation that can pay out over 25y+ of retirement is the ideal and some will achieve that, but I don’t think the plan the boomers enjoyed can necessarily be repeated and enjoyed to the same degree with the later gens. Left wing ideas offer (possibly false) hope to that group.
My point is simply a clarification of your argument. Those who hope for Leftist solutions are more than 20% when you consider retirement funds, as mere survival in old age (not only “lording it over others”) is another reason people gravitate towards some of the Left wing ideas.

Dickless and crotchless happy about Dean. Rowan that is, who was very good about the bullshit of alarmism and didn’t use blot’s argument of Australia being so small it didn’t make sense to curb our tiny CO2 emissions. Dean just said it was bullshit. Which it is.
Alternatively Dean Mackin is back on 2SM; and he knows alarmism is bullshit too.

Brother’s life in jail and tragic death: Yoorrook inquiry hears elder’s story
Jack Latimore
By Jack Latimore
December 16, 2022 — 7.16pm
“I’m going to tell you a story, that’s not in my submission, but I’m going to tell you a personal story.” What followed in the heartbreaking moments of truth-telling from Aunty Geraldine Atkinson, the co-chair of the First Peoples’ Assembly of Victoria, set the scene for the Yoorrook Justice Commission’s distressing examination this week of the child protection and criminal justice system and their failings.
The testimony from the Bangerang and Wiradjuri elder began a litany of confronting evidence to Victoria’s truth and justice inquiry this week – descriptions and examples of bureaucratic maleficence that left its commissioners stunned, and unsettling personal accounts that moved them to tears.
Statements of the more than 30 witnesses underscored evidence heard the previous week that detailed how Indigenous children have been allowed to get “lost in the pipeline” between the child protection system and the criminal justice system.
They illustrated how processes and policies within the systems criminalise First Nations people from childhood, and exposed the way Aboriginal self-determination principles have been insidiously negated.
Atkinson’s story captured the devastating personal toll: “When I was in grade 6, I had my brother – which was really my nephew, but we were bred as brother and sister. He was under 10, obviously [the current age of minimum criminal responsibility in Victoria].
“He would steal from his teacher, 20 bob it was then … So he’d take, and he’d take. This was happening, so what she did was she marked her 20 bob, and then she knew who took it.
“What happened with him, he was removed from our family. He was put into Baltara Boys Home (in Thomastown). You know what happened from Baltara? He progressed to Turana, which is now Parkville (juvenile detention facility). From Turana [he went] to Malmsbury (another juvenile detention facility) … Left Malmsbury, went to Sydney … and he ended up in Long Bay jail. After Long Bay jail, he ended up in Goulburn jail. He came up (was released), some family members died. His brothers actually died, and he came home to Victoria.
“He lived in Fitzroy. He was a parkie. He lived with the parkies, in Atherton Gardens, a high-rise (social housing tenement) up there in Fitzroy. That’s where he lived. That’s who his mates were, the parkies.
“Then he ended up in Pentridge … Do you know how old he was when he died? Thirty-six.
“All of those fellas, his mates, they’re all dead too now, they were around the same age. They were removed. They’d lost mothers. They were removed from families.”
“And that’s the story of a child being removed … their life trajectory. And that’s what we want to stop.”

Rowan’s show has ended, however he’s a permanent fixture on Sky, thankfully.
And further to the fat fascist fuckwit, and further to Twitter, I have some thoughts…
1. Those on the left, encapsulated by our resident grub here, don’t want free speech, they only want speech they like and approve of in the public square. Which is why the fat fascist fuckwit and his ideological comrades have spent years denigrating Sky, and desperately wanting Sky to fail. Why? Because, you see, Sky dares to allow right of centre opinion. How dare they! But Sky, unlike that taxpayer funded progressive echo chamber, their ABC, depends on subscribers such as myself, and crucially on advertisers. So what the left have done over the last five years is to target Sky advertisers to scare and frighten them, painting Sky as “far-right” and promoting “racism” and all the other bullshit and lies the left are good at. The worst time, of course, was when Andrew Bolt bravely came out in 2019 and supported George Pell, rightly questioning the ludicrous verdict and maintaining that Pell was innocent. Of course our resident grub at the time delighted in calling Pell a “rock spider”, a description he’s never retracted. But I digress, the scare campaign against advertisers did work, some of Sky’s advertisers fled, but others held the line and all credit to those companies such as Harvey Norman. You see, it’s quite ironic that the fat fascist fuckwit comes here and, like an unneutered male cat, sprays his drivel on these pages, knowing full well that Dover allows him free speech. He takes advantage of that. I certainly don’t want him banned, he provides us with a window into the mind of an adolescent incel male, and it isn’t pretty. Ultimately though, the fat fascist fuckwit reminds me of the Soup Nazi…..”No free speech for you”.
JC, you were right earlier, Twitter should be for all speech, left, right, centre. But please allow me some schadenfreude with what Musk is doing. He’s expertly and superbly stripping bare the leftist fascism which was controlling and running amok on the social media platform. The progressive left wanted a Twitter echo chamber, the progressive left had a Twitter echo chamber, they routinely banned people, they routinely shadow banned people, it was a cradle of progressive censorship, and how they loved their power. But then one day they went too far, they decided to ban a conservative satire site named Babylon Bee and that move rightly angered Elon Musk, so he decided to buy Twitter. Since taking control a few months ago, he’s discovered, unsurprisingly, that it’s a cesspit of far-left lunacy and unproductivity (a lethal combination) and it’s quite amusing to see how the fat fascist fuckwit and his ideological cronies are suddenly badmouthing Musk and the platform, you see they know they had it all to themselves for so long but now the party’s over. It’s now been opened up to free speech, not just “some speech”. Musk has allowed back on the platform the likes of Meghan Murphy, Carl Benjamin, James Lindsay and of course, MAGA man, President Donald Trump, and the left are angry, very angry, because one of their control platforms has been taken away from them.
Today’s news about Musk banning various accounts, among others the NY Times journalist Ryan Mac, the execrable Keith Olbermann and Aaron Rupar, is comeuppance. Not one of these individuals protested the banning of President Trump. What goes around comes around.

Ex-Adviser Out of Jail After 11 Years, Including 7 for Contempt
By Dealbook March 15, 2011 8:14 pm March 15, 2011 8:14 pm
Martin A. Armstrong at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in New York in 2000. Rick Maiman/Bloomberg News Martin A. Armstrong at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in New York in 2000.
Martin A. Armstrong, who prosecutors accused of running a $3 billion Ponzi scheme, is finally out of jail after 11 years, including a possible record seven years for contempt of court in a dispute over gold and antiquities.
Mr. Armstrong, a former financial adviser who once ran an investment firm called Princeton Economics International, will be held under house arrest until his federal custody ends in September, a spokesman for the Federal Bureau of Prisons, Chris Burke, told Bloomberg News.
Mr. Burke said Mr. Armstrong would be allowed to go to work and required to check in at a halfway house in the Philadelphia area. He was released last week, according to Bloomberg.
Mr. Armstrong spent seven years behind bars for contempt after he defied a federal judge’s order in January 2000 to turn over to the government about $15 million worth of gold bars, rare coins and antiquities including a bust of Julius Caesar. Normally, people held in contempt by a judge are jailed for no longer than 18 months.
Mr. Armstrong contended he did not have those assets.
As Mr. Armstrong sat in the Metropolitan Correctional Center in Manhattan, federal prosecutors tried to build a criminal case against him.
Ultimately, Mr. Armstrong was sentenced to five years in prison in April 2007 after he agreed to plea guilty the year before to one count of conspiracy to hide hundreds of millions of dollars in trading losses.
After seven long years, the judge in the case finally lifted the contempt sanction so Mr. Armstrong could begin his prison term. He received no time off his prison sentence for the time he spent in the Manhattan jail.
My beef is the multiple shots in a matter of seconds with a centrefire bolt action rifle (not of the best quality) and at a moving target at about 200 metres.
Three shots in a matter seconds is easily achievable with a bolt action rifle, and Oswald was using a scope, which gave him an effective range of forty meters or so.

“His media career is full of him punching down on people less fortunate than he. Good riddance.”
Nah, once again the fat fascist fuckwit gets it wrong. Firstly, not once have I ever heard Rowan Dean “punch down on anyone less fortunate than he”. For example, I’ve never heard him utter words such as “rock spider” to describe an innocent man, and if he had done so, he’d have the decency to retract those words and say he was wrong. Has the fat fascist fuckwit ever retracted those words he used to describe George Pell? No. But I suppose such a mea culpa would need to come from a man, and a man is something out basement dwelling incel is not.
Oh and Rowan Dean isn’t going anywhere, he’s still a staple on Sky and he’s still at the held of Sky most successful programme, Outsiders.
Now fuck off.

Neither have I. Even 2 shillings would have been quite a sum in 1962 when she was around 10.
Huh?
Did you read my comment, or are you a compleat idiot?
There’s no “20 Bob”, but even if there was, Primary School teachers were on 1,100 Pounds/year in 1962 [20 Pounds / Week]
They weren’t leaving 1 Pound coins on the desk for tiny thieves to steal.
I reckon Aunty G had a priviledged upbringing and she’s making it up.

God, you’re sheltered. People used to say that all the time.
‘On Fridays when I was a young lad, my old man would send me on the tram with thruppence ha’penny. I would go to the picture movies, and come home with an armload of fish and chips for my eleven brothers and four sisters. Dad let me keep the change, and when it got to 20 bob I bought my own water cart.’

reyfus….
75 maaaaates given a golden trough to sup from.
Dreyfus says the reform will see dollars committed to address the current backlog of cases:
The new body will have a modern, reliable and fit for purpose case management system that delivers administrative efficiencies for all users.
As part of this reform, the Government is committing $63.4 million over two years for an additional 75 members to address the current backlog of cases and reduce wait times while the new body is being set up.
And $11.7 million over two years for a single streamline case management system.
Refers to the Administrative Appeals Tribunal (AAT).
In the 1990s, working in the Prime Minister’s Department under Howard, I did a review of AAT decisions about refugee applicants. The AAT had been stacked by previous Labor governments.
They granted asylum routinely in the absence of verifiable evidence. In fact, they used the inability to verify as a reason to grant asylum.
It got worse. One case I remember was of an asylum seeker (not sure where from, but probably Afghanistan) who successfully sought asylum in Germany and lived there for five years. Then, preferring the climate in Australia, he came here and claimed that unverifiable people in his homeland were after him. The Department told him to piss off, but a caring member of the AAT believed every word he said.
Just like the judiciary in Victoria, Labor is stacking the AAT with lefties, and clocking up favours to be called in at a later date.
So called conservative governments are unbelievably dumb.

There was. My dad has one. One. They were quite rare. Rare enough that he skytes about having one. Picked it up somewhere in the early 1950s apparently.

Amongst all the doom and gloom, a silver lining. At least for me andy wife.
Rising interest rates stopped us refinancing our mortgage as it put us out of our own home loan, so we put our investment property on the market and got full value, above our target price.
Today was settlement day, which went without a hitch. No lottoesque profit, but a modest profit for 3 years’ work, enough to pay all our other debts,,put some on the house and pay for a modest holiday next year.
You can’t beat the market, but you can play it.

Former Australian batsman Greg Ritchie has a crack at Captain Alinta, Pat Cummins ahead of the First Test against the Jaapies tomorrow (msn):
‘I’m just glad they have given us plenty of notice for this wonderful get-together because it would enable me to hire my electric bike and ride to Sydney so I’m carbon-neutral in line with the Australian captain’s theme,’ Brisbane-based Ritchie said.
Cummins’ stance on action against climate change has been a major talking point, and he has also publicly asked how cricket can better manage its carbon footprint.
‘It has always been a balance,’ he said when asked about his sponsorship stance.
However – and this is a great get I hadn’t heard of before:
It comes despite climate crusader Cummins driving a Range Rover SUV, regarded as one of the world’s worst vehicles when it comes to pollution.

I tried to explain the aesthetics of a garden today to a friend. My impromptu explanation was this: “A garden is like an orchestra. Each plant is an instrument. Each should have its own presence. None should be overwhelmed by the next. And each should be able to sing its tune when the time is right. The role of the gardener is that of the conductor, to prepare the plants which together in concert with each other and with nature create a unified vision.” I’m sure there are many great writers and gardeners that have a far better description. Now that I have dipped my foot in the water I would like to explore the topic further. Any suggestions, quotes etc welcome?

Three shots in a matter seconds is easily achievable with a bolt action rifle, and Oswald was using a scope, which gave him an effective range of forty meters or so.
Using a scope with a centrefire bolt action rifle in quick succession for 3+ shots is not easy. On a (slow moving) target?
The Jack Ruby thing is also suspicious as hell. “Oh he was just so patriotic”.
Same with James Forrestal.
I think the opposite this “you believe in conspiracies because you want meaning” meme.
People don’t want to consider that a President or Secretary of the Navy can get murdered, particularly by organised crime (Giancana) or with foreign agents (Castro). It makes them feel unsafe. I have no idea who killed Forrestal. “He just jumped outta nowhere he window, he must have been depressed”.
Gilas has outlined why the autopsy was dubious.
Abraham Bolden outlined how three weeks prior he and other Secret Service agents foiled a very similar plot in Chicago three weeks prior. Cubans were there.
I don’t see why it is shocking to assert that the Cubans and Giancana used Oswald. Cuba involved itself in foreign wars to advance totalitarianism and Giancana was simply a murderer.

Why is it that the lovely sign off from this Web Shite is that lovely phrase? Seems rather basic to me.
Every time a lefty abuses someone like the Simpsons Crazy Cat Lady, I go to their home page and search for “compassion”.
Multiple hits every time. They either think compassion is something you show to people who think like you, or it’s nothing more than a strategic virtue to be used as a weapon.
Or both. They’re both deranged and psychotic. Compassion is a human emotion they think will make them liked if they can just replicate it like actual humans.

Funny how often you hear from a sporting legend or groundbreaking academic or inspirational performer or faaaabulous fag or rich businessman that in their youth they were pulled aside and told by their school headmaster or junior coach or first boss that They Were Never Going To Amount To Anything. Usually a kicker that it was because they were not already rich or famous or lilywhite or a man or a woman’s man or they couldn’t sit still in class.
I never had that opportunity. Never got that repercussively motivational sledge.
Look at me now, washed up in the middle ground, faffing around all day on the farm with my mid-range dog before having a tinnie and a shower before heading out to play some amateur sport and then some amateur music.
The Early Career Sexist-Racist-Snobbish Give-Up-Now lecture sector should be expanded so that every scruffy kid can get their shit sorted early. Then we’d have a hell of a lot more millionaires in Mosman and a lot less derroes bugging them for a few bucks, down and out and huffing meth for the brief ecstatic rush of the sort they were promised would be their natural high, after absorbing the cruel lie that nothing would get in their way to the top because they were white, straight, had a nuclear family and a traditional work ethic.

Anyone with a bit of training and practice under their belt could easily do that, even at a moving target, and Oswald was a trained marksman by the US Marines.

Oswald was a trained marksman by the US Marines.
Don’t have a reference, but the author of one of the books on the assassination, put Oswald’s former weapons instructor from the Marine Corps at the fatal window, with a rifle of the type used in the assassination. His conclusion was that Oswald couldn’t have missed. Apparently the film “JFK” which I haven’t seen, replicates the situation, but has said weapons instructor claiming the shot was impossible.

I get a little tired of hearing what a “tough shot” it was.
The distance was relatively short – 81 metres – with a telescopic sight.
As for the “moving target”?
Well, the motorcade was moving quite slowly (11 mph) and as the car was travelling away from the book depository and on a downhill slope, it would have barely been moving in Oswald’s field of view.
The only surprise is he didn’t get a direct hit with the first shot.

US to Hand Patriot Missiles to Ukraine? What Insanity!
From Armstrong Economics –
“There is little doubt that NATO and the United States want war. I believe this insanity is being driven by the idea that they MUST destroy the Russian economy because it is 50% based on fossil fuels. The people writing the cue cards for Biden are determined to create World War III. Russia has warned that if the US goes ahead and sends Patriot Missiles to Ukraine, they warned that will lead to ‘unpredictable consequences’ and the US knows this will unleash widespread war.
Ukraine is NOT TO BE TRUSTED. They have killed their own people just to keep trying to create World War III where they want Russia utterly annihilated. I cannot stress this more. I have warned that the hatred in this region will engulf the world as it did when the Serbs assassinated the heir to the throne of Austria in 1914. There is NO solution for peace as long as NATO and the US keep supplying arms to Ukraine and instructing them NEVER to negotiate peace.
NATO is doubling its forces in some countries and uses the propaganda that they need to stop Russia’s “Imperistic” advance. The very FIRST Ukrainian coins are those issued by Nazi Germany. They joined the Nazi movement and supported the ethnic cleansing of Jews, Polish, and Russians. Never before was Ukraine a country and the Donbas has historically been occupied by Russians for centuries. In fact, both Kruschev grew up there as well as Brezhnev. So were they Ukrainian who launched the Cuban Missile Crisis of 1962 or the Russian?
The very fact that there are NO coins ever issued by Ukraine demonstrates what I have been saying – it was never a country and now we are to engulf the entire world in destruction for the most corrupt country in Europe. There is another agenda here and it is not any more truthful than the Weapons of Mass Destruction that Iraq never had.”
The only surprise is he didn’t get a direct hit with the first shot.
I get a little tired of hearing what a “tough shot” it was.
Sacre bleu!
His conclusion was that Oswald couldn’t have missed.
At least two were not direct hits!

AOC’s Flop – More Spent on Fossil Fuels than the Movie Took In

MA, Thank you for being a voice of reason in these truly uncertain times.”
Be well and keep doing what you do.

Biden to Destroy the Fishing Industry Next
From Armstrong Economics –
“The Biden Administration is now targeting fishing. They have argued all along that boats expel more CO2 than cars, Cows, or Airplanes. So it is no surprise to now target boating imposing a 10-knot speed limit. This will end the deep sea fishing period – both for sport and food supply. This is up and down the entire East Coast. Of course, Right whales, migrate and can be seen every winter off the Atlantic coast between Jacksonville and Cap Canaveral between December and March each year. They are tourist attractions with hundreds of siting every season.
This is how government works. They just impose blank bans on the entire ocean out for 150 miles. When they did Obamacare, I lost my insurance from Blue Cross because it did not include maternity leave despite the fact I was not married and at that time men could still not get pregnant unless they were in California apparently.
Such bans with a broad brush of this nature will impact the entire industry ending much of the shipping industry as well as the ports. Why ship anything now to New York, Philadelphia, or Virginia? There go the unions!”

Figures figured:
Roughly 82% of people are expected to be older than the 65yo retirement age when they die. So 82% of people will need some way to survive after their most productive years have ended. They cannot pay for current expenses with current productivity.
Charity can only come from a position of surplus. The only difference of L vs R here is who nominally holds the surplus, whether it is distributed over private policy holders or centralised in a social security. It either comes from other people’s current productivity or it comes from your past productivity. As the track record of Governments balancing budgets has been abysmal, and yes Left wing ideas always fail, the social security option for retirement is looking somewhere between bad and non-existent.
But where is the hope from the private sector funds (Industry + SMSF)? The retirement age keeps getting pushed back so much that Gen Y have lost hope of ever being permitted to retire and collect their super, plus recent superannuation returns have been pretty bad. Plus if the money comes from your own past productivity has the extra burden of trying to avoid the monetarist devaluation of the currency. To have personal savings invested in superannuation that can pay out over 25y+ of retirement is the ideal and some will achieve that, but I don’t think the plan the boomers enjoyed can necessarily be repeated and enjoyed to the same degree with the later gens. Left wing ideas offer (possibly false) hope to that group.
My point is simply a clarification of your argument. Those who hope for Leftist solutions are more than 20% when you consider retirement funds, as mere survival in old age (not only “lording it over others”) is another reason people gravitate towards some of the Left wing ideas.

Alternatively Dean Mackin is back on 2SM; and he knows alarmism is bullshit too.

Rowan’s show has ended, however he’s a permanent fixture on Sky, thankfully.
And further to the fat fascist fuckwit, and further to Twitter, I have some thoughts…
1. Those on the left, encapsulated by our resident grub here, don’t want free speech, they only want speech they like and approve of in the public square. Which is why the fat fascist fuckwit and his ideological comrades have spent years denigrating Sky, and desperately wanting Sky to fail. Why? Because, you see, Sky dares to allow right of centre opinion. How dare they! But Sky, unlike that taxpayer funded progressive echo chamber, their ABC, depends on subscribers such as myself, and crucially on advertisers. So what the left have done over the last five years is to target Sky advertisers to scare and frighten them, painting Sky as “far-right” and promoting “racism” and all the other bullshit and lies the left are good at. The worst time, of course, was when Andrew Bolt bravely came out in 2019 and supported George Pell, rightly questioning the ludicrous verdict and maintaining that Pell was innocent. Of course our resident grub at the time delighted in calling Pell a “rock spider”, a description he’s never retracted. But I digress, the scare campaign against advertisers did work, some of Sky’s advertisers fled, but others held the line and all credit to those companies such as Harvey Norman. You see, it’s quite ironic that the fat fascist fuckwit comes here and, like an unneutered male cat, sprays his drivel on these pages, knowing full well that Dover allows him free speech. He takes advantage of that. I certainly don’t want him banned, he provides us with a window into the mind of an adolescent incel male, and it isn’t pretty. Ultimately though, the fat fascist fuckwit reminds me of the Soup Nazi…..”No free speech for you”.
JC, you were right earlier, Twitter should be for all speech, left, right, centre. But please allow me some schadenfreude with what Musk is doing. He’s expertly and superbly stripping bare the leftist fascism which was controlling and running amok on the social media platform. The progressive left wanted a Twitter echo chamber, the progressive left had a Twitter echo chamber, they routinely banned people, they routinely shadow banned people, it was a cradle of progressive censorship, and how they loved their power. But then one day they went too far, they decided to ban a conservative satire site named Babylon Bee and that move rightly angered Elon Musk, so he decided to buy Twitter. Since taking control a few months ago, he’s discovered, unsurprisingly, that it’s a cesspit of far-left lunacy and unproductivity (a lethal combination) and it’s quite amusing to see how the fat fascist fuckwit and his ideological cronies are suddenly badmouthing Musk and the platform, you see they know they had it all to themselves for so long but now the party’s over. It’s now been opened up to free speech, not just “some speech”. Musk has allowed back on the platform the likes of Meghan Murphy, Carl Benjamin, James Lindsay and of course, MAGA man, President Donald Trump, and the left are angry, very angry, because one of their control platforms has been taken away from them.
Today’s news about Musk banning various accounts, among others the NY Times journalist Ryan Mac, the execrable Keith Olbermann and Aaron Rupar, is comeuppance. Not one of these individuals protested the banning of President Trump. What goes around comes around.
It is, however, pretty par for the course for the Latter-Day Leftist…

“His media career is full of him punching down on people less fortunate than he. Good riddance.”
Nah, once again the fat fascist fuckwit gets it wrong. Firstly, not once have I ever heard Rowan Dean “punch down on anyone less fortunate than he”. For example, I’ve never heard him utter words such as “rock spider” to describe an innocent man, and if he had done so, he’d have the decency to retract those words and say he was wrong. Has the fat fascist fuckwit ever retracted those words he used to describe George Pell? No. But I suppose such a mea culpa would need to come from a man, and a man is something out basement dwelling incel is not.
Oh and Rowan Dean isn’t going anywhere, he’s still a staple on Sky and he’s still at the held of Sky most successful programme, Outsiders.
Now fuck off.
Oh and I’ve never heard Rowan Dean threaten to “punch a Nazi”, code for “punching someone I disagree with”.
Hey Cassie, you’re preaching to the converted. There was more to the story as there was a privacy issue. He’s actually in more danger than what people realize and he’s hyper concerned with what happened to his little kid and therefore his family.

There’s no “20 Bob”, but even if there was, Primary School teachers were on 1,100 Pounds/year in 1962 [20 Pounds / Week]

I would go to the picture movies, and come home with an armload of fish and chips for my eleven brothers and four sisters.

I tried to explain the aesthetics of a garden today to a friend. My impromptu explanation was this: “A garden is like an orchestra. Each plant is an instrument. Each should have its own presence. None should be overwhelmed by the next. And each should be able to sing its tune when the time is right. The role of the gardener is that of the conductor, to prepare the plants which together in concert with each other and with nature create a unified vision.” I’m sure there are many great writers and gardeners that have a far better description. Now that I have dipped my foot in the water I would like to explore the topic further. Any suggestions, quotes etc welcome?

Rowan’s show has ended, however he’s a permanent fixture on Sky, thankfully.
He is f*cking usless.
Using a scope with a centrefire bolt action rifle in quick succession for 3+ shots is not easy. On a (slow moving) target?
The Jack Ruby thing is also suspicious as hell. “Oh he was just so patriotic”.
Same with James Forrestal.
I think the opposite this “you believe in conspiracies because you want meaning” meme.
People don’t want to consider that a President or Secretary of the Navy can get murdered, particularly by organised crime (Giancana) or with foreign agents (Castro). It makes them feel unsafe. I have no idea who killed Forrestal. “He just jumped outta nowhere he window, he must have been depressed”.
Gilas has outlined why the autopsy was dubious.
Abraham Bolden outlined how three weeks prior he and other Secret Service agents foiled a very similar plot in Chicago three weeks prior. Cubans were there.
I don’t see why it is shocking to assert that the Cubans and Giancana used Oswald. Cuba involved itself in foreign wars to advance totalitarianism and Giancana was simply a murderer.
Every time a lefty abuses someone like the Simpsons Crazy Cat Lady, I go to their home page and search for “compassion”.
Multiple hits every time. They either think compassion is something you show to people who think like you, or it’s nothing more than a strategic virtue to be used as a weapon.
Or both. They’re both deranged and psychotic. Compassion is a human emotion they think will make them liked if they can just replicate it like actual humans.
For a layman or beginner.
Oswald was photographed at the entrance to the TSBD as the Presidential Limo drove past.
I believe Fat Cat Ritchie was one of the people who ran onto the ground when Steve Waugh made 200 in the West Indies in 1995. When asked by a fielder to leave the arena, Ritchie’s response was to tell him to go forth and fornicate, it’s a great innings.
BB – Missen Eva is far more than just a pretty face. I sent Miss Emily the video of the Hairy Scotsman and Missen Eva discussing the realisation that the latter was a conservative and all that subsequently meant.

Moving target (motorcade)?
The funny thing is prior to 22 Nov, Oswald attempted (failed) a single shot assassination of General Walker in his home.
Which seems very curious – also hinting at Cuban involvement. Kennedy and Walker were not on the same page politically.
Seconded.
..
The action on the SMLE is slick AF though.
What was Oswald using?
Funny how often you hear from a sporting legend or groundbreaking academic or inspirational performer or faaaabulous fag or rich businessman that in their youth they were pulled aside and told by their school headmaster or junior coach or first boss that They Were Never Going To Amount To Anything. Usually a kicker that it was because they were not already rich or famous or lilywhite or a man or a woman’s man or they couldn’t sit still in class.
I never had that opportunity. Never got that repercussively motivational sledge.
Look at me now, washed up in the middle ground, faffing around all day on the farm with my mid-range dog before having a tinnie and a shower before heading out to play some amateur sport and then some amateur music.
The Early Career Sexist-Racist-Snobbish Give-Up-Now lecture sector should be expanded so that every scruffy kid can get their shit sorted early. Then we’d have a hell of a lot more millionaires in Mosman and a lot less derroes bugging them for a few bucks, down and out and huffing meth for the brief ecstatic rush of the sort they were promised would be their natural high, after absorbing the cruel lie that nothing would get in their way to the top because they were white, straight, had a nuclear family and a traditional work ethic.
“Which seems very curious – also hinting at Cuban involvement. Kennedy and Walker were not on the same page politically.”
Agree, however they were on the same page politically to Oswald.

Don’t have a reference, but the author of one of the books on the assassination, put Oswald’s former weapons instructor from the Marine Corps at the fatal window, with a rifle of the type used in the assassination. His conclusion was that Oswald couldn’t have missed. Apparently the film “JFK” which I haven’t seen, replicates the situation, but has said weapons instructor claiming the shot was impossible.

Commiserations Rickw. I’m not due back till after Christmas. Landing at Melbourne to clear customs too.
Lovely day today. Other half got all sorts of clothes that will add to our luggage allowance. Spent day bantering with mostly Poms in a bar. Got some good info on Thailand though I’d never retire here, too many other pitfalls.
Off to Sa Kheo tomorrow to stay with another friend & his Thai Mrs who are Aussie based. Her family have done well with a good size house so no accommodation needed. Plans afoot to visit old Khmer ruins near Aranya Pratet, Rong Kleua markets at border crossing and another temple ruin up in Buri Ram Province.
Knowing the hospitality I am about to receive am likely to be back to lurking. Enjoy all.
Frrrrrrrrrppppppptthttt

Jumping the gun there.
It happens at multiples of 250.

Thankee, Colonel.
It’s a Friday night, Cats!
Everyday peoples, hopefully about to enjoy a normal Christmas.
Unlike some of us … 😕
Dot.
I get a little tired of hearing what a “tough shot” it was.
The distance was relatively short – 81 metres – with a telescopic sight.
As for the “moving target”?
Well, the motorcade was moving quite slowly (11 mph) and as the car was travelling away from the book depository and on a downhill slope, it would have barely been moving in Oswald’s field of view.
The only surprise is he didn’t get a direct hit with the first shot.
I expect tall stories about the nightmare on Elm street will mysteriously go missing between here and The New Open Thread. https://newcatallaxy.blog/2022/12/17/open-thread-weekend-17-dec-2022/
It is currently 100% Oswald-free.
I guess they dont care
Harry and Meghan are now among the most unpopular public figures in Britain. That is what my polling reveals this week, after they released their Netflix documentary.
A couple is lying in bed. The man says “I am going to make you the happiest woman in the world” The woman says “I’ll miss you”.

Nina and Liz are having a conversation during their lunch break. Nina asks “So, Liz, how’s your sex life these days?” Liz replies “Oh, you know. It’s the usual, Social Security kind”. “Social Security?” Nina asked quizzically. “Yeah, you get a little each month, but it’s not enough to live on”.
Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment.

US to Hand Patriot Missiles to Ukraine? What Insanity!
From Armstrong Economics –
“There is little doubt that NATO and the United States want war. I believe this insanity is being driven by the idea that they MUST destroy the Russian economy because it is 50% based on fossil fuels. The people writing the cue cards for Biden are determined to create World War III. Russia has warned that if the US goes ahead and sends Patriot Missiles to Ukraine, they warned that will lead to ‘unpredictable consequences’ and the US knows this will unleash widespread war.
Ukraine is NOT TO BE TRUSTED. They have killed their own people just to keep trying to create World War III where they want Russia utterly annihilated. I cannot stress this more. I have warned that the hatred in this region will engulf the world as it did when the Serbs assassinated the heir to the throne of Austria in 1914. There is NO solution for peace as long as NATO and the US keep supplying arms to Ukraine and instructing them NEVER to negotiate peace.
NATO is doubling its forces in some countries and uses the propaganda that they need to stop Russia’s “Imperistic” advance. The very FIRST Ukrainian coins are those issued by Nazi Germany. They joined the Nazi movement and supported the ethnic cleansing of Jews, Polish, and Russians. Never before was Ukraine a country and the Donbas has historically been occupied by Russians for centuries. In fact, both Kruschev grew up there as well as Brezhnev. So were they Ukrainian who launched the Cuban Missile Crisis of 1962 or the Russian?
The very fact that there are NO coins ever issued by Ukraine demonstrates what I have been saying – it was never a country and now we are to engulf the entire world in destruction for the most corrupt country in Europe. There is another agenda here and it is not any more truthful than the Weapons of Mass Destruction that Iraq never had.”

Sacre bleu!
At least two were not direct hits!
I am starting to think an “expert marksman” in the marine corps is assigned a shotgun!
This is just anti semitic “Khazaria” fantasy bullshit Putin is tapping into.
Trump rightfully didn’t take shit from Putin.

AOC’s Flop – More Spent on Fossil Fuels than the Movie Took In
From Armstrong Economics –
COMMENT: “Regarding AOC and the FLOP climate change documentary. How much fossil fuel was used for this flop of a project. Sounds contradictory to the proposed agenda the are preaching. Almost as ironic as the elite jet setting with their private jets while we should all ride bicycles to work.
MA, Thank you for being a voice of reason in these truly uncertain times.”
Be well and keep doing what you do.
Regards, CRW
REPLY: “I know. This is so insane. I’m sure she spent far more in fossil fuels to make this flop than the $10,000 it raked in. I have been in my fair share of movie productions. The number of people running around you can’t even count on two hands for a small film. They were even filming a movie on the beach in front of the house next door I think for the Hallmark Channel. They even had a COVID enforcer who came running up when some of the girls on the film crew just wanted to pet my dog. She came running over and said no – they could not even touch any animal. How much did it cost to fly her around?”

A drunk is sitting on the street curb in front of a bar. A stranger comes buy and asks if he’s okay. The drunk replies by asking “Do you know who I am?” The stranger says “No. Who are you?” The drunk proudly says “I’m Jesus Christ… and I can prove it! Come with me!” They enter the bar and the bartender looks up and yells “Jesus Christ! Are you here again?”

A blonde walks up to a Coke machine and puts in a coin. Out pops a Coke. The blonde looks amazed and runs away to get some more coins. She returns and starts feeding the machine madly and, of course, the machine keeps feeding out drinks. Another person walks up behind the blonde and watches her antics for a few minutes before stopping her, and asking if someone else could have a go. The blonde turns around and shouts “Can’t you see I’m winning!”

Interesting how private firearm ownership is almost simultaneously back in the spotlight in all Western countries.
It’s like someone sent out a memo.
