One only has to look at the ivermectin debacle to see the sordid influence of big pharma. Ivermectin was shown to be effective early on and the governments squashed it universally. on what basis? on the basis of an FTX funded trial. the same FTX that “donated” $40m to the demonrats and is the largest ponzi scheme in history.
Is the bolded bit confirmed?

Heres another of those little casualties of the Covid thuggery and stupidity that will never be reported.
One child patient has been diagnosed (late) with autism, ticks nearly all the boxes etc.
But in some of her maladaptive social responses are a bunch related to the covid directives.
The spastic covid rules provided them with “structure” and rules they could use to navigate life.
Congratulations Chief health officers/idiot/evil politicans, you have effectively taught a child who will already have some difficulty navigating life some maladaptive rules to make it even harder.

Be an interesting Parliament of liquorice allsorts then Bruce.
Main reason being the police and legal system are just a rotating door, and there is no deterrent at all to being lawless. In fact, there’s a reward system in gaining approval from a peer group.
This. A notorious soft touch magistrate suffered from aboriginal crime last year but reportedly has not affected her soft touch. Authorities have been more heavy handed with vigilantism so it is very much underground now. Dunno about the solution now, apart from a period of heavy handed sentencing instead of housing at Townsville slamming them up at Etna Creek or Lotus Glen well away from their clans. That would mean taking on the bench though which would take spine, something certainly absent in the LNP.

Sudden Arythmic Death Syndrome has always existed, circa 4000 adult deaths yearly in the US. Many different types of arythmia.
Also, when an adult dies suddenly there can be many causes, not just cardiac issues, though obviously with death the heart stops beating.
Underlying cancers causing clots, for instance, and many other ‘hidden’ conditions that manifest in death. It is not any sort of clear cut field for analysis. In my view, Covid and/or the Covid vaxxes may be precipitating variables – in some cases, given some conditions, and given that all other factors are equal across a study population (which of course they mostly are not).

I was in Carnarvon about six weeks ago. Besides feeling weird at being the only whitefella in Woolies, I found it, generally, okay.
The only two odd things were (some) kids walking the streets and riding motorbikes on a school day and I did not spot an indigenous fella over my three days there. They could be fifo but dunno… was odd.

I think there is no doubt that if any government tried to introduce a vaxx today with the track record of the Covid vaxxes (all of them) that such a vaxx wouldn’t pass the first stage of testing. The withdrawal of the Swine Flu vaxx tells that story. It was the ’emergency’ conditions that allowed this international Covid Vaxx jab fest to proceed as it did.

Rather odd that a Channel 10 manager should promote a viewpoint that would make the average member of the public even less inclined to view their offerings.
… the police? I should inagine they’re thoroughly sick of the revolving door.
They might be, but they’ve been made part of the problem now. A lot of the time they simply have to take any juvenile miscreants “home” rather than lock them up for the night – which might have been a bit of a deterrent.

Lysander.
If the modus operandi is the same as NQ over west, the little turds use the cover of darkness and hit multiple residences in a suburb a night. They’ll usually pick easy targets too.
The ACT’s age-standardised mortality rate has decreased over time; it fell from 479 per 100,000 in 2020 to 464 per 100,000 people in 2021. Rates for 2022 are not yet available.
the vax was rolled out in march. there is a delay in uptick of excess deaths. and there is a downward spike in deaths from lack of health care and early detection in 20 and 21. so nothing can be drawn from these figures until we get the 22 numbers. anyone attempting to draw conclusions from these is a useful idiot or complicit.

Trimble played a Test, but got a duck.
He led an Australian 11 to New Zealand in 1969, but the Rep Matches aren’t classed as Tests.
Ed comes on here and makes assertion after assertion and here he does it again.
Sam Trimble never played a test for Australia. The closest he came was 12 th man in the West Indies in 1965.
If he comes back and said he was referring to his son, Glen he would be wrong again. Glen Trimble didn’t play a test either. He played 2 ODIs and didn’t make a duck there either.
Ed has committed another shocker which is par for the course.

Good interview of Tim Robbins the Shawshank actor by Russell Brand. Caught part of it on YouTube but full interview on Rumble. Tim in studio with Russell.
Tim explains how initially he was in favour of the lockdowns etc but as time went by changed his mind. Said in USA was very political but joining in a protest in UK made him realise protesters were not as portrayed in the media.
Looks like a clown. And those hairy legs – made me laugh out loud.

A father, son and grandson go out to the country club for their weekly round of golf. Just as they reach the first tee, a beautiful young blonde woman carrying her bag of clubs approaches them. She explains that the member who brought her to the club for a round of golf had an emergency which called him away and asks the trio whether she can join them.
Naturally, the guys all agree. Smiling, the blonde thanks them and says “Look, fellows, I work in a topless bar as a dancer, so nothing shocks me anymore. If any of you wants to smoke cigars, have a beer, bet, swear or tell off-colour stories or do anything that you normally do when playing a round together, go ahead. But I enjoy playing golf, consider myself pretty good at it, so don’t try to coach me on how to play my shots”.
With that the guys agree to relax and invite her to drive first. All eyes are fastened on her shapely behind as she bends to place her ball on the tee. She then takes her driver and hits the ball 270 yards down the middle, right in front of the green.
The father’s mouth is agape. “That was beautiful” he said. The blonde puts her driver away and says “I really didn’t get into it and I should have faded it a little”.
After the three guys hit their drives and their second shots (she was closest to the pin) the blonde takes out a nine iron and lofts the ball within five feet of the hole. The son says “Damn, lady, you played that perfectly”. The blonde frowns and says “It was a little weak. I’ve left a tricky little putt”.
After the son buries a long putt for a par, dad two putts for a bogey and granddad overruns the green with his pitching wedge, chips back and putts for a double bogey, the blonde taps in the five-footer for a birdie.
The guys all congratulate her on her fine game. She puts her putter back in the bag and says “Thanks, but I really haven’t played much lately, and I’m a little rusty. Maybe I’ll really get into this next drive”.
Having the honours, she drives first on the second hole and knocks the hell out of the ball, and it lands nearly 300 yards away smack in the middle of the fairway. And for the rest of the round she continues to amaze the guys, quietly and methodically shooting for par or less on every hole.
When they get to the 18th green, the blonde is three under par, but has a very nasty 12-foot putt on an undulating green for a par. She turns to the three guys and “I really want to thank you all for not acting like a bunch of chauvinists and telling me what club to use or how to play a shot, but I need this putt for a 69 and I’d really like to break 70 on this course. If any one of you can tell me how to make par on this hole, I’ll take him back to my apartment, pour some 25-year old Royal Salute Scotch in him, fix him dinner and then show him a good time the rest of the night”.
The yuppie son jumps at the thought. He strolls across the green, carefully eyes the line of the putt and finally says “Honey, aim about 6 inches to the right of the hole and hit it firm. It will get over that little hump and break right into the cup”.
The father kneels down and sights the putt using his putter as a plumb. “Don’t listen to the kid, darlin’. You want to hit it softly 10 inches to the right and run it left down that little hogback, so it falls into the cup”.
The old grey haired grandfather walks over to the blonde’s ball on the green, picks it up and hands it to her. “That’s a gimme, sweetheart. Your car or mine?”
Remember, age and treachery will triumph over youth and skill every time!

One thing about cops, serving or retired, is they cannot get enough regulation & always want more.
They’re at odds with two basic basic principles; Freedom & self-determination.
Something to keep in mind when at any public meeting involving police input. These bastards want you in bed with a hot mug of Horlick’s by 6pm each night, and your typical day to be one that makes Dilbert look like “Action man”.

I mentioned on the weekend that a few academics involved in criminology and police training are actually have a fairly mature discussion about how police & authorities react to Wieambilla.
The upshot is that a reactionary response from governments and tooling police up with more military gear is not the way to go. Indeed, it will simply reinforce the narrative.

I believe she’s fairly recently deceased, Lysander.
The key to the whole thing seems to be Gareth Train, who held sway over his wife and more recently his brother. Some comments from former neighbours in Camooweal suggest a very disturbed personality while his wife was described by one as “an alternative type of unit” who once suggested putting feral kids in a hole and shooting them. Needless to say, trouble seemed to follow them wherever they went, which might explain why they moved so often.

Cause Unknown: The Epidemic of Sudden
Deaths
STORY AT-A-GLANCE
In his new book, “Cause Unknown: The Epidemic of Sudden Deaths in 2021 and
2022,” former BlackRock fund manager Edward Dowd details data showing the
COVID shots are a crime against humanity
– Insurance industry research in 2016 concluded that group life policyholders die at
one-third the rate of the general U.S. population, so they’re the healthiest among
us. Group life policyholders are those employed with Fortune 500 companies,
who tend to be younger and well-educated
– In 2020, the general U.S. population had higher excess mortality than group life
holders, but in 2021, that flipped. Ages 25 through 64 of the group life
policyholders suddenly experienced 40% excess mortality, compared to 32% in
the general population. In short, a far healthier subset of the population suddenly
died at a higher rate than the general population
– American disability statistics are equally revealing. In the five years before COVID,
the monthly disability rate was between 29 million and 30 million. After the
COVID jabs, the disability trend changed dramatically. As of September 2022,
there were 33.2 million disabled Americans — an extra 3.2 million to 4.2 million
— a three standard deviation rate of change since May 2021
– Since May 2021, the overall U.S. population has experienced an 11% increase in
disabilities, while the employed — which is about 98 million out of a total
population of about 320 million — experienced 26% increased rate of disability.
So, something was introduced into the workforce that caused working age people
to die
A Red Pill for Christmas
A great feature of “Cause Unknown: The Epidemic of Sudden Deaths in 2021 and
2022” is that it’s not going to overwhelm you with complex statistical analysis. It’s a
simple read with lots of pictures and graphs. It also includes QR codes to references
so you can rapidly confirm them.
“Everything I sourced,” Dowd says. “It’s a powerful book. It’s a book that I hope
changes the marginal mind … I think it makes a great Christmas gift for the
family member who doesn’t see the reality we see and, again, it’s coming from
a Wall Street guy, laid out as an investment thesis. You can disagree, but all the
stuff that I put in the book is sourced and the data is the data …
What we don’t do in the book is we don’t get into the who and why. We don’t
want to assault someone’s worldview, but the data’s so compelling, we do say
at the end of the book … ‘There’s a cover-up going on and malfeasance.’
Jessica Rose, Ph.D., said in an interview with me, and I put her quote in the
book, ‘Some things are worse than death.’ The most acute adverse reaction is
death. But there are other ones that can make your life pretty miserable for a
long, long time, and also make other people’s lives miserable that have to take
care of you.
When you think about labor statistics, if there’s someone in the house that’s
disabled severely, the person who’s not disabled loses work hours and work
weeks taking care of that person, taking them to hospital visits, what have you.
Also, think about the hospital infrastructure that’s going to be overwhelmed,
especially with the health care workers who were mandated to take all these
jabs. We’re going to have a health care crisis, whether you know it or not.
It’s coming, and you’re not going to have access to health care … That’s why I
think people need to look at holistic health themselves and get as healthy as
possible right now … Do what you can outside the medical system because soon
it’s not going to be there for you.”

A Scottish couple took in an 18-year-old girl as a lodger. She asked if she could have a bath, but the woman of the house told her they didn’t have a bath, although if she wanted to, she could use a tin bath in front of the fire.
“Monday’s the best night, when my husband goes out to darts” she said. The girl agreed then to have a bath the following Monday.
After her husband had gone to the pub for his darts match, the woman filled the bath and watched the girl get undressed. She was surprised to see that the lass didn’t have any pubic hair.
She mentioned this to her husband when he came home.
He didn’t believe her, so she said “Next Monday, when you go to darts, leave a little early and wait in the back garden. I’ll leave a gap in the curtains so you can see for yourself.
“So the following Monday, while the girl again got undressed, the wife asked “Do you shave?” “No” replied the girl. “I’ve just never grown any hair down there. Do you have hair?” “Oh, yes” said the woman, and she pulled up her nightdress and showed the girl that she was most generously endowed in the hair department.
The girl finished her bath and went to bed.
Later that night, when the husband came in, the wife asked him “Well, did you see?” “Yes” he said “but why the hell did you have to show her yours”. “Why are you worried about that?” she said. “You’ve seen it often enough”. “I know” he said “but the darts team hadn’t!”

“We are fighting for the gay community, and we are fighting and fighting hard,” the former president and 2024 candidate said. “With the help of many of the people here tonight in recent years, our movement has taken incredible strides, the strides you’ve made here is incredible.”
Charles Moran, president of the Log Cabin Republicans, challenged other 2024 hopefuls to also say they are willing to fight for gay rights.
“I just heard a Republican candidate for president stand up and say he is willing to fight and I challenge every other Republican to make the same pledge Donald Trump made tonight,” Moran said.
“I’m going to hold all candidates to that same standard,” he added in a later interview. “We’re really at a place now where we’re going to have an open election and there are going to be other Republicans running, and we have a responsibility to look at the entire Republican field.”
Moran and his group worked behind the scenes to build support for the Respect for Marriage Act and brought at least four GOP members of Congress on board. He noted that House Republican Majority Whip-elect Tom Emmer is an ally of the group and wants to proactively engage on legislation.
A primary legislative goal for Log Cabin Republicans is the “Restore Honor to Servicemembers Act,” which would provide an opportunity for those dishonorably discharged under “Don’t ask, don’t tell” to have their discharge status changed.

Keith Olbermann is using his dog’s account to cry about
The World Health Organization (WHO) has labeled unvaccinated people a “major killing force globally” in a new campaign being promoted on social media.
The WHO is promoting a new video that targets “anti-vaccine activism” by blasting those who choose not to be vaccinated for supporting “anti-science aggression.”
The video features pediatrician and vaccine advocate Dr. Peter Hotez who laments the “devastating impact of misinformation and disinformation” regarding Big Pharma’s Covid shots.
Hotez goes on to link the so-called “anti-science aggression” of people who refuse the Covid vaccines to “far-right extremism.”
The professor continues by making several unsupported claims that “anti-vaccine activism” now “kills more people” than terrorism, gun violence, and several other crimes.
He then alleges that “anti-science” has become a “political movement.”
The WHO is now one of the most anti-health organisations on the planet.
Paid for by you and me and taxpayers all over the globe.
Note that Trump is the only Western world leader in modern history to deny funding and support to the UN and its tentacles.

A new report by the Actuaries Institute, the country’s peak actuarial body, has revealed the “three alternative futures” that Australia could face, describing the scenarios as “all plausible and all with vastly different outcomes for Australians”.
Alarmingly, the institute reveals that “all three scenarios are bleak, resulting in a significant recession sometime over the next 15 years”.
FFS, even I could predict a recession in the next 15 years… probably even in the next two…
“And it’s inflation proof because you are putting it on finance, so you are going to have fixed costs of energy for 20 years going forward. “
Oh, right – the “fixed” cost of electricity, which is projected to increase, what was it, 50% or so next year? After the previous 50% increase. And the one before that. Because of renewables – because the marginal cost without the “carbon credits” and renewables “stealing” supply is still the same as it was 10 years ago.
Or does he mean a fixed cost of zero, because you wont have electricity?
And you are financing it at a time when interest rates are rising.

St Kilda Road was perhaps one of the nicest boulevards in the world.

The WHO is now one of the most anti-health organisations on the planet.
Former SAGE member Jeremy Farrar, one of the most influential pro-lockdown advisors in the United Kingdom and considered by some to be akin to the UK’s Anthony Fauci, has been given a major promotion to become Chief Scientist at the World Health Organization, one of the most powerful positions at the WHO alongside its director Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus. Farrar is currently director of the Wellcome Trust, one of the world’s most influential nonprofits and largest investors in vaccines, with countless billions in offshore funding and close ties to the Gates Foundation.
…
Shortly after Xi Jinping enacted the strictest lockdown in history in Wuhan, China, and long before that lockdown produced any results, Farrar echoed his new boss, Tedros, in praising China for “setting a new standard for outbreak response.”
Even China is now moving away from Farrar’s kindly way of doing things. One volk, one reich, heil Farrar!

Saw an interesting example of the leaf blower and LGA mindset today. I go through a park that was massively overplanted with London Plane trees about 20 years ago. It was handed over the a certain LGA once all the blocks were sold who actually do a pretty good job of maintaining it (albeit with residents paying a surcharge on their rates for the privilege). Today the path was 3 inches deep in leaves dropped with the heat, not even the main deciduous drop. These were dutifully blown to the side – till this afternoon’s sea breeze.
I once experienced turbulence almost like this. It felt like the plane was yawing at one stage and the wings were going to be ripped off. It’s terrifying.

Melbourne councils are chopping down trees and removing vegetation from footpaths
Urban areas are usually warmer than their rural surroundings, creating what is known as the ‘urban heat island effect’. As cities continue to grow, vegetation is lost and surfaces are paved or covered with buildings, which absorb and radiate heat.
As part of our commitment to the Paris Climate agreement, to limit global temperature rise to under 2°C by 2050, we are working towards cooling our city. One way we are doing this is through greening projects, such as tree planting. Our goal is to plant 3000 trees in Melbourne every year to increase the resilience of the urban forest and to cool our city by 4°C.

He can’t run it as he’s busy with too much stuff going on. With the right settings it could mostly be run on autopilot. I’d be happy to run it for free. He needs to add streaming allowing for something resembling Apple TV + . Done properly, he could turn it into a terra cap. I’d love to get my hands on it fire more of those arseholes. I’d run it for free with a balloon payout at the end of three years.

Channel 10 aka Freaks R Us. Why do they bother?
They’re doing a splendid job. Their assignment is to make sure Network 10 loses money for its US owners by committing the commercial suicide of targeting millenials as its audience*.
Making sure almost no-one watches it (like the ABC) is part of their assignment.
Welcome to the upside-down world of tax-loss accounting.
*Millenials don’t buy (or watch) anything unless it’s free. Targeting millenials is suicide for a TV network. That’s why Australia’s only profitable TV networks, 7 and 9, target the lucrative 25-54 age group, who actually buy the stuff their advertisers advertise, unlike stingy milennials.

There is no way back without a serious effort to reverse the Left’s hold locally.

Tripledemic Update: RSV, Covid And Flu
The United States has already plunged into one of the roughest seasons of winter illnesses in decades. After nearly three years of being sequestered, children and adults are back out in crowds, with no masks, no distancing, and viruses waiting with open arms.
Even better, Musk could declare the counting suspended, then do a few late night dumps of votes to ‘fortify” the election..

Apparently this column by Jeremy Clarkson has hit the nail square on the head..
WE all know in our heart of hearts that Harold Markle is a slightly dim but fun-loving chin who flew Apache helicopter gunships in Afghanistan and cavorted around Las Vegas hotel rooms with naked hookers.
But then along came Meghan, who obviously used some vivid bedroom promises to turn him into a warrior of woke.
And now it seems that she has her arm so far up his bottom, she can use her fingers to alter his facial expressions.
I actually feel rather sorry for him because today he’s just a glove puppet with no more control over what he says or does than Basil Brush.
Meghan, though, is a different story. I hate her.
Not like I hate Nicola Sturgeon or Rose West. I hate her on a cellular level.
At night, I’m unable to sleep as I lie there, grinding my teeth and dreaming of the day when she is made to parade naked through the streets of every town in Britain while the crowds chant, “Shame!” and throw lumps of excrement at her.
Everyone who’s my age thinks the same way.
But what makes me despair is that younger people, especially girls, think she’s pretty cool.
They think she was a prisoner of Buckingham Palace, forced to talk about nothing but embroidery and kittens.
That makes me even angrier. Can’t they see everything that’s happening is so very obviously pre-planned.
Leave the UK. Blame the royals. Do an interview with Oprah.
Get Basil Brush to write a book. Do a Netflix series — which should have been called A Woman, Talking Bollocks.
I can see it clearly. The studied pauses. The mock incredulity.
And the B-movie, soap-actress, quivery-voiced, more-in-sorrow-than-anger stories that are so obviously claptrap.
Do you really think she would have entertained a move to New Zealand? That’s 13 hours away from everything.
SLAVES AND EUNUCHS
The spotlight of fame she craves so desperately would have been a 40-watt bulb, and no one would have seen it.
Nah. She was always going to end up in California.
And I can tell you, with absolute certainty, what’s coming next.
Harold’s Spare book will be released.
Then she’ll do one called I Think I May Be God. And then she’ll have exhausted the whole royal thing — so will be off.
We will see Diana-style photographs of her, all on her own, outside the Taj Mahal.
And then she will be pictured gazing into the middle distance, on the back of a playboy’s superyacht and will marry a tech billionaire and they’ll have a child called something vomitty like Peace. Or Truth.
Or Love.
Harold, meanwhile, will be stuck in California with no friends, either there or here, no family to support him and an army of young girls who’ll believe Meghan’s story that the marriage break-up was all his fault because he’s, like, you know, sooooo a man.
And the Royal Family?
She’s going to damage them — be in no doubt about that.
Because one day soon, my generation will all be dead, and we will be replaced by a new bunch who are growing up believing that Charles and William and Co are bullies who are waited on hand and foot by slaves, eunuchs and spin doctors.
Unless, of course, when Meghan takes her hand out of the ginger glove puppet, he remembers who he is and gives us “the” truth.
Not hers.

Instead of one big facility, with attendant mines suppling bulk energy at low cost on a reliable basis the fat dork thinks hundreds of small intermittent generators serviced by many multiples of people more is good because “more jerbs!!!”

*Warning- Leads to Quiggin level wrongology Now suppose, instead of private capital, solar projects were financed using thirty-year government bonds. Remarkably, the real rate of interest on these bonds has fallen to zero or below — and if the current judgements of investors are correct, rates will remain at or close to zero for decades to come.
… Once a solar module has been installed, a zero rate of interest means that the electricity it generates is virtually free. Spread over the lifetime of the module, the cost is around 2c/kWh (assuming $1/watt cost, 2000 operating hours per year and a twenty-five-year lifetime). That cost would be indexed to the rate of inflation, but would probably never exceed 3c/kWh.

A Somali arrives in Australia as a new immigrant. He stops the first person he sees walking down the street and says “Thank you Mr Aussie for letting me in this country!” But the passer-by says “You are mistaken, I am Indian”.
The man goes on and encounters another passer-by. “Thank you for having such a beautiful country here in Australia!” The person says “I am not Aussie, I am Pakistani!”
The Somali chap continues on, and the next person he sees he stops, shakes his hand and says “Thank you for the wonderful Australia!” That person says “I am from Iraq, I am not Aussie!”
He finally sees a nice lady and cautiously asks “Are you an Australian citizen?” She says “No, I am from Lebanon!” He is puzzled, and asks her “Where are all the Aussies?” The Lebanese lady looks at her watch, shrugs and says, “Probably at work”.

Pray for printing.
The only way the US avoids a recession is if the Fed pivots early and takes it’s foot off the throat of the economy. Also perhaps stopping QT. Meaning inflation remains somewhat elevated although at a lower level and the USD backs off. In which case gold and BTC will take off. Along with a whole lot of commodities.

Just like the Greenies destroyed the magnificent entrance to Canberra from the south, a huge median strip with alternate eucalypts and conifers that went for a couple of miles. It was a perfect description of Old Canberra, a garden city combining native and introduced species.
When politicians went to their international (presumably non-carbon dioxide emitting) meetings 20 years ago, everyone had a Blackberry and a tram. So, now we are still paying for it.

A theme with Democrats:
We’ve all got that crazy aunt, uncle, or cousin that mom and dad don’t want mentioned at the church picnic. In the case of the Clinton political dynasty, it’s former President Bill Clinton’s brother Roger Clinton Jr. Half-brother, technically. The guy is so sketchy that the Secret Service gave him the code name “Headache” during the Clinton presidency, according to The New York Times. (Hilary’s brother’s were reportedly a handful, as well.) So just how much trouble does one have to get into to earn such a nickname during an administration so fraught with its own ignominy? That was a question that Roger Clinton Jr. found an answer to.

Just for J. Rotten.
A blonde gets caught in a blizzard where it was snowing heavily and blowing to the point that visibility was almost zero. She makes her way to the car and wonders how she is going to make it home.
She sat in her car while it warmed up and thought about her situation. She finally remembered dad’s advice that if she ever got caught in a blizzard she should wait for a snow plow to come by and follow it. This made her feel much better and sure enough in a little while a snow plow went by and she started to follow it.
As she followed the snow plow she was feeling very smug as they continued and she was not having any problem with the blizzard conditions. After quite some time had passed she was somewhat surprised when the snow plow stopped and the driver got out and came back to her car and signaled for her to roll down her window. The snow plow driver wanted to know if she was all right as she had been following him for a long time. She said that she was fine and told him of her dad’s advice to follow a snow plow when caught in a blizzard.
The driver replied that it was okay with him and she could continue following if she wanted but he was done with the Walmart parking lot and was going over to the K-mart next.

I had a nice conversation during morning walk. Came to a house, there was a cockatoo on the balcony looking hopefully at the lady of the house. She saw me, waved, asked if I had anything for her watcher.
I did, said I, and pulled a bit of bread from my pocket. She laughed at that. Two other cockies also were in the frangipani looking shy but hopeful.
I offered balcony cockie the bread, but it looked at me then at her, then at me. Because she had a biscuit. Biscuits trump bread every day of the week. She relented and gave the cockie the biscuit. A happy cockie.
The lady then pointed at the post holding the verandah roof up, it was somewhat frayed. “We replaced it a year ago”. Already has had bits et out of it. Yup, says I, they’re fun but they can eat your house. Literally in her case.
Meanwhile another cockie was looking hungry in the frangipani, so I offered it the bread I had. Down it came, branch to branch, then gracefully accepted the offering. After which, now being completely out of bread, I went on my way on the rest of walk.

Good pro gun video with arsehole Piers Morgan out argued by some smart 2nd amendment folk:
Unsurprisingly there is a strong interdependence between optimal generation decisions and optimal transmission decisions. Each will be suboptimal based on whatever of the other is on the ground at the time. Wind relies on geographic dispersal to avoid local wind droughts (not necessarily possible for some weather patterns). Traditional generation sources tend to be more thermal economies of scale.
“New South Wales state politicians will sit for one last time this year after parliament was recalled to deal with energy legislation.
Politicians on Wednesday will vote on a bill that is being introduced almost a week after the Albanese Government’s energy relief package passed the federal parliament.
Premier Dominic Perrottet said he asked the Presiding Officers on Monday to recall the parliament, in a move that had the support of Opposition Leader Chris Minns.
“The Energy and Utilities Administration (Amendment) Bill 2022 will enable the government to place a temporary cap on the price of coal used for domestic electricity generation at $125 a tonne,” Mr Perrottet said.”

There’s a lot of strange illnesses and episodes going on
I have already posted some examples in my circle of friends and acquaintances – although, thankfully, not as bad as the one you noted, Rick. The examples I know are mostly severe joint pain – probably the synovitis that some research papers have recently noted. Inflammation seems a common hallmark of both Covid and the vaccines.
The point that many seem to not want to contemplate is that Covid was almost certainly a virus modified to be especially invasive and contagious to our species. Whilst the IFR was nowhere near what was originally broadcast by the authorities, I have never doubted that it is a mongrel thing to contract – not necessarily in its initial effect – but in the potential effects of which we know very little at this stage. Ditto for the genetic vaccines so stupidly mandated with insufficient (viz 10 years) research.

The destruction of the inner part of Canberra CBD that johanna refers to above is continuing.
The electric train the “government” cut all the trees down for is now going to continue south to the suburbs. To do this there are about three years of roadworks which have just started. To help pay for all of this there are now 40kph zones with speed cameras installed.
Memo: don’t go anywhere near the big department stores there for a long time.

Another hot food favourite is in short supply across Victoria as farmers struggle to meet consumer demands in the wake of mass damage to cabbage crops.

Devastating floods, rising costs and unfavourable weather conditions have hampered peak growing seasons over winter and spring, forcing many farmers forced to start from scratch.

Melbourne councils are chopping down trees and removing vegetation from footpaths to make way for Australia Post’s new environmentally friendly fleet of electric delivery vehicles.

The electric vehicles won’t do so well in my street or the road nearby, we have no footpaths and the road only has footpaths on one side so we’ll still get the nature strip destroying motorcycles..
I think the big attraction for auspost is the tripling of capacity which means posties can deliver a lot more small parcels, and/or cover a bigger patch.

After 35 years of marriage, a husband and wife came for counselling. When asked what the problem was, the wife went into a tirade listing every problem they had ever had in the years they had been married. On and on and on – neglect, lack of intimacy, emptiness, loneliness, feeling unloved and unlovable, an entire laundry list of unmet needs she had endured.
Finally, after allowing this for a sufficient length of time, the therapist got up, walked around the desk and after asking the wife to stand, he embraced and kissed her long and passionately as her husband watched with a raised eyebrow.
The woman shut up and quietly sat down in a daze.
The therapist turned to the husband and said. “This is what your wife needs at least 3 times a week. Can you do this?”
“Well, I can drop her off here on Monday and Wednesday… but I fish on Fridays!!”

Carnarvon crime crisis: Police Minister Paul Papalia says issues cannot be solved ‘by policing alone’
Headshot of Shannon Hampton

Mon, 19 December 2022 12:06PM
Police Minister Paul Papalia says Carnarvon’s crime crisis “cannot be fixed by policing alone” and hundreds of years of “disadvantage, disempowerment and dysfunction” was to blame for towns with “disproportionate rates of Aboriginal juvenile offending”.
Mr Papalia’s comments on Monday came as North West Central MP Merome Beard, who lives in Carnarvon, said she would personally plead with Mark McGowan to visit the town to see the issues for himself before Christmas.
The Nationals MP said residents of her hometown were too frightened to leave their own homes, and wants more police, safe places for troubled youth who are running the streets and help for fatigued support workers over the summer period.
As reported by The West Australian, Carnarvon leaders have warned of looming vigilantism as angry residents grow tired of being bashed by children as young as eight and having their homes burgled.
Other concerning stories have also emerged, including that a young boy was having bowel problems because he was one of several youths selling their bodies on the street to fuel drug habits. A 14-year-old girl had been recently rushed to hospital for a breech birth.
And a local doctor is about to leave town after having a concrete block through his car with his children inside, while police cars are being smashed up while they attend incidents.
Shire of Carnarvon chief executive Andrea Selvey told The West, “This is not about Carnarvon being a bad place, it’s about how (State and Federal Governments) have failed us”.
Responding to the report, and claims locals feel forgotten and ignored, Mr Papalia said Operational Regional Shield, which had been set up to target acute juvenile crime in the regions, was available and had been sent to Carnarvon.
However, Mr Papalia said the strategy, which injects more officers and resources into areas when needed, was not operational at the moment because “the local police are dealing with the challenge they are confronted (with)“.
He added: “One of the things that that story focused on, without saying it, is Aboriginal juvenile offending.
“The challenge that we confront, particularly in the regions, but everywhere with high rates, disproportionate rates of Aboriginal juvenile offending, is a result of 200 years plus of disadvantage, disempowerment and dysfunction in communities.
“It’s understandable that what happens, happens.
“It’s not excusable, but it also won’t be resolved overnight by any one person, or any one agency and cannot be fixed by policing alone.
“This is a really challenging problem that applies (to) everybody, all governments, all communities, to work at. But it won’t be fixed overnight.”
Hard to believe Phillip Adams is 83…
Why? He’s still functioning mentally. Nothing unusual about that.
Still rock hard in his leftist opinions though. With him it’s religious.
It invalidates his life if he changes now.

I guess we won’t have to put up with him for much longer…
If it is because he is 83 (six months older than I) then I consider your comment indelicate.
Indeed it is, P. Made by someone who is less aware than those of us who have survived this far that a bus tearing down the inside lane could be due to take him out before us. We’ve seen it all before.

And I have seen very little hard evidence either way, and no evidence that governments anywhere are much concerned.
Ed Dowd, a former BlackRock portfolio manager recently participated in Senator Johnson roundtable including many eminent doctors. He concentrates solely on the data. He starts speaking just after the 21 minute mark and talks for only about 5 minutes. His point is that not only did excess deaths and disability increase from 2021 onwards, but the increase was significantly greater in what would normally be expected to be the heathiest cohort, people in long term employment covered by medical insurance through their work. Suddenly, they were seeing higher deaths and disability than the general population, which was a complete switch around. What had changed? Ony one thing – the vaccine mandates.

“The Right completely underestimated the importance of local councils and of local politics. You could have resisted this sort of stupidity arising if you had common sense conservatives in local offices, but instead we have fringe left advocates cutting their teeth and implementing the stupidest, ugliest, and costliest proposals that barely survive a few years before being replaced by something even more hideous. There is no way back without a serious effort to reverse the Left’s hold locally.”
Exactly, thanks Dover. I’ve argued this here before, which is that the road for the right to claw back political influence and to enact political and social changes is to begin locally. The right must do what the Greens have done successfully over the last three decades, infiltrate (for want of a better word) local councils and make changes from there. Sure, it’s a long slow road, but it works. The Greens, before they hit the federal senate, before they hit the federal House of Reps, before they ran in state elections, began in local councils. The Greens now dominate or make up a large chunk of many councils across the country, which is why so many local councils are now hotbeds of far-left ideology, they’re too busy spruiking BDS boycotts, trans issues, green claptrap and so on rather than the fundamentals of roads, rates and rubbish. They’ve provided us with a template to follow, it’s time some on the right took up this political fight, politics isn’t just downstream from culture, it’s also local.

What was the rate of indigenous juvenile offending in Carnarvon and like towns in the 1950s & 60s?
Negligible, I suspect.
What has changed?

Vicki, do you have a link for recent research on synovitis as a reaction to Covid jab? My son got that, badly, in both wrists, two weeks after the second jab which was only three weeks after the first. I couldn’t find anything on it when I searched a last Christmas when his pain was excruciating.
Proven as bilateral synovitis of sudden development with no past history by MRI which I paid for, because no doc would chase it up any further on public money nor attribute it to the jab – Emergency at Prince of Wales simply said maybe you’ve fractured a wrist and xrayed the worst one which of course wouldn’t pick up synovitis (this on a bilateral presentation, so that’s the quality of interns these days).
The application of liberal theories of crime and punishment, for one
The rise of the Aboriginal grievance Industry, for two.
One follows the other, like night follows day, as a democracy based on the rights and duties of citizenship slides into neo-tribalism, aided and abetted by the philosophically & morally bankrupt two main political parties, who’ve each in their own way betrayed their foundational principles in the quest for power. But to what end?

What was the rate of indigenous juvenile offending in Carnarvon and like towns in the 1950s & 60s?
Indigenous juvenile offenders in the Wheatbelt town I grew up in would be collected by the local cops on a dark and moonless night, driven several miles out of town, dropped off, and told to walk home. “Oh, and by the way, Katchdika man’s out there, he’;ll sneak up on you in the dark, and smash your heads in with his stone club…”
The Aboriginal Legal Service put a stop to that one…
What was the rate of indigenous juvenile offending in Carnarvon and like towns in the 1950s & 60s?

Some of the smaller WA towns don’t have much of a problem with their aboriginal yoof because they also have a responsible elder or two to keep them in line.
If any of the local ferals play up, the elders send the miscreants up to the Kimberley to have some culture beaten into them at one of the “communities”.
The yoofs hate losing their playstations and daily diet of Maccas/KFC/Hungry Jacks.
Only works if the elders are from the same mob as the villains.

One only has to look at the ivermectin debacle to see the sordid influence of big pharma. Ivermectin was shown to be effective early on and the governments squashed it universally. on what basis? on the basis of an FTX funded trial. the same FTX that “donated” $40m to the demonrats and is the largest ponzi scheme in history.

Heres another of those little casualties of the Covid thuggery and stupidity that will never be reported.
One child patient has been diagnosed (late) with autism, ticks nearly all the boxes etc.
But in some of her maladaptive social responses are a bunch related to the covid directives.
The spastic covid rules provided them with “structure” and rules they could use to navigate life.
Congratulations Chief health officers/idiot/evil politicans, you have effectively taught a child who will already have some difficulty navigating life some maladaptive rules to make it even harder.
Not even very bright.
Be an interesting Parliament of liquorice allsorts then Bruce.
Main reason being the police and legal system are just a rotating door, and there is no deterrent at all to being lawless. In fact, there’s a reward system in gaining approval from a peer group.
This. A notorious soft touch magistrate suffered from aboriginal crime last year but reportedly has not affected her soft touch. Authorities have been more heavy handed with vigilantism so it is very much underground now. Dunno about the solution now, apart from a period of heavy handed sentencing instead of housing at Townsville slamming them up at Etna Creek or Lotus Glen well away from their clans. That would mean taking on the bench though which would take spine, something certainly absent in the LNP.
Have you seen the length of them? A stiff drink is certainly in order for the walk home.
Sudden Arythmic Death Syndrome has always existed, circa 4000 adult deaths yearly in the US. Many different types of arythmia.
Also, when an adult dies suddenly there can be many causes, not just cardiac issues, though obviously with death the heart stops beating.
Underlying cancers causing clots, for instance, and many other ‘hidden’ conditions that manifest in death. It is not any sort of clear cut field for analysis. In my view, Covid and/or the Covid vaxxes may be precipitating variables – in some cases, given some conditions, and given that all other factors are equal across a study population (which of course they mostly are not).

Not right, they did chuck money in, but it wasnt until after that study was already published.
I was in Carnarvon about six weeks ago. Besides feeling weird at being the only whitefella in Woolies, I found it, generally, okay.
The only two odd things were (some) kids walking the streets and riding motorbikes on a school day and I did not spot an indigenous fella over my three days there. They could be fifo but dunno… was odd.
I think there is no doubt that if any government tried to introduce a vaxx today with the track record of the Covid vaxxes (all of them) that such a vaxx wouldn’t pass the first stage of testing. The withdrawal of the Swine Flu vaxx tells that story. It was the ’emergency’ conditions that allowed this international Covid Vaxx jab fest to proceed as it did.
Just bringing the programs people demand
G0 straight to 45 seconds, click X and erase from your memory.
… the police? I should inagine they’re thoroughly sick of the revolving door.
They might be, but they’ve been made part of the problem now. A lot of the time they simply have to take any juvenile miscreants “home” rather than lock them up for the night – which might have been a bit of a deterrent.

Looks like a clown. And those hairy legs – made me laugh out loud.
(More broadly, that person is a picture of everything that is wrong with the West.)
A father, son and grandson go out to the country club for their weekly round of golf. Just as they reach the first tee, a beautiful young blonde woman carrying her bag of clubs approaches them. She explains that the member who brought her to the club for a round of golf had an emergency which called him away and asks the trio whether she can join them.
Naturally, the guys all agree. Smiling, the blonde thanks them and says “Look, fellows, I work in a topless bar as a dancer, so nothing shocks me anymore. If any of you wants to smoke cigars, have a beer, bet, swear or tell off-colour stories or do anything that you normally do when playing a round together, go ahead. But I enjoy playing golf, consider myself pretty good at it, so don’t try to coach me on how to play my shots”.
With that the guys agree to relax and invite her to drive first. All eyes are fastened on her shapely behind as she bends to place her ball on the tee. She then takes her driver and hits the ball 270 yards down the middle, right in front of the green.
The father’s mouth is agape. “That was beautiful” he said. The blonde puts her driver away and says “I really didn’t get into it and I should have faded it a little”.
After the three guys hit their drives and their second shots (she was closest to the pin) the blonde takes out a nine iron and lofts the ball within five feet of the hole. The son says “Damn, lady, you played that perfectly”. The blonde frowns and says “It was a little weak. I’ve left a tricky little putt”.
After the son buries a long putt for a par, dad two putts for a bogey and granddad overruns the green with his pitching wedge, chips back and putts for a double bogey, the blonde taps in the five-footer for a birdie.
The guys all congratulate her on her fine game. She puts her putter back in the bag and says “Thanks, but I really haven’t played much lately, and I’m a little rusty. Maybe I’ll really get into this next drive”.
Having the honours, she drives first on the second hole and knocks the hell out of the ball, and it lands nearly 300 yards away smack in the middle of the fairway. And for the rest of the round she continues to amaze the guys, quietly and methodically shooting for par or less on every hole.
When they get to the 18th green, the blonde is three under par, but has a very nasty 12-foot putt on an undulating green for a par. She turns to the three guys and “I really want to thank you all for not acting like a bunch of chauvinists and telling me what club to use or how to play a shot, but I need this putt for a 69 and I’d really like to break 70 on this course. If any one of you can tell me how to make par on this hole, I’ll take him back to my apartment, pour some 25-year old Royal Salute Scotch in him, fix him dinner and then show him a good time the rest of the night”.
The yuppie son jumps at the thought. He strolls across the green, carefully eyes the line of the putt and finally says “Honey, aim about 6 inches to the right of the hole and hit it firm. It will get over that little hump and break right into the cup”.
The father kneels down and sights the putt using his putter as a plumb. “Don’t listen to the kid, darlin’. You want to hit it softly 10 inches to the right and run it left down that little hogback, so it falls into the cup”.
The old grey haired grandfather walks over to the blonde’s ball on the green, picks it up and hands it to her. “That’s a gimme, sweetheart. Your car or mine?”
Remember, age and treachery will triumph over youth and skill every time!

The key to the whole thing seems to be Gareth Train, who held sway over his wife and more recently his brother. Some comments from former neighbours in Camooweal suggest a very disturbed personality while his wife was described by one as “an alternative type of unit” who once suggested putting feral kids in a hole and shooting them. Needless to say, trouble seemed to follow them wherever they went, which might explain why they moved so often.
Thanks Roger – I haven’t followed it very closely… I caught five minutes of A Current Affair (why, don’t ask!), and all they did for the entire five minutes was bag Christianity…

Cause Unknown: The Epidemic of Sudden
Deaths
STORY AT-A-GLANCE
In his new book, “Cause Unknown: The Epidemic of Sudden Deaths in 2021 and
2022,” former BlackRock fund manager Edward Dowd details data showing the
COVID shots are a crime against humanity
– Insurance industry research in 2016 concluded that group life policyholders die at
one-third the rate of the general U.S. population, so they’re the healthiest among
us. Group life policyholders are those employed with Fortune 500 companies,
who tend to be younger and well-educated
– In 2020, the general U.S. population had higher excess mortality than group life
holders, but in 2021, that flipped. Ages 25 through 64 of the group life
policyholders suddenly experienced 40% excess mortality, compared to 32% in
the general population. In short, a far healthier subset of the population suddenly
died at a higher rate than the general population
– American disability statistics are equally revealing. In the five years before COVID,
the monthly disability rate was between 29 million and 30 million. After the
COVID jabs, the disability trend changed dramatically. As of September 2022,
there were 33.2 million disabled Americans — an extra 3.2 million to 4.2 million
— a three standard deviation rate of change since May 2021
– Since May 2021, the overall U.S. population has experienced an 11% increase in
disabilities, while the employed — which is about 98 million out of a total
population of about 320 million — experienced 26% increased rate of disability.
So, something was introduced into the workforce that caused working age people
to die
A Red Pill for Christmas
A great feature of “Cause Unknown: The Epidemic of Sudden Deaths in 2021 and
2022” is that it’s not going to overwhelm you with complex statistical analysis. It’s a
simple read with lots of pictures and graphs. It also includes QR codes to references
so you can rapidly confirm them.
“Everything I sourced,” Dowd says. “It’s a powerful book. It’s a book that I hope
changes the marginal mind … I think it makes a great Christmas gift for the
family member who doesn’t see the reality we see and, again, it’s coming from
a Wall Street guy, laid out as an investment thesis. You can disagree, but all the
stuff that I put in the book is sourced and the data is the data …
What we don’t do in the book is we don’t get into the who and why. We don’t
want to assault someone’s worldview, but the data’s so compelling, we do say
at the end of the book … ‘There’s a cover-up going on and malfeasance.’
Jessica Rose, Ph.D., said in an interview with me, and I put her quote in the
book, ‘Some things are worse than death.’ The most acute adverse reaction is
death. But there are other ones that can make your life pretty miserable for a
long, long time, and also make other people’s lives miserable that have to take
care of you.
When you think about labor statistics, if there’s someone in the house that’s
disabled severely, the person who’s not disabled loses work hours and work
weeks taking care of that person, taking them to hospital visits, what have you.
Also, think about the hospital infrastructure that’s going to be overwhelmed,
especially with the health care workers who were mandated to take all these
jabs. We’re going to have a health care crisis, whether you know it or not.
It’s coming, and you’re not going to have access to health care … That’s why I
think people need to look at holistic health themselves and get as healthy as
possible right now … Do what you can outside the medical system because soon
it’s not going to be there for you.”

Test
A Scottish couple took in an 18-year-old girl as a lodger. She asked if she could have a bath, but the woman of the house told her they didn’t have a bath, although if she wanted to, she could use a tin bath in front of the fire.
“Monday’s the best night, when my husband goes out to darts” she said. The girl agreed then to have a bath the following Monday.
After her husband had gone to the pub for his darts match, the woman filled the bath and watched the girl get undressed. She was surprised to see that the lass didn’t have any pubic hair.
She mentioned this to her husband when he came home.
He didn’t believe her, so she said “Next Monday, when you go to darts, leave a little early and wait in the back garden. I’ll leave a gap in the curtains so you can see for yourself.
“So the following Monday, while the girl again got undressed, the wife asked “Do you shave?” “No” replied the girl. “I’ve just never grown any hair down there. Do you have hair?” “Oh, yes” said the woman, and she pulled up her nightdress and showed the girl that she was most generously endowed in the hair department.
The girl finished her bath and went to bed.
Later that night, when the husband came in, the wife asked him “Well, did you see?” “Yes” he said “but why the hell did you have to show her yours”. “Why are you worried about that?” she said. “You’ve seen it often enough”. “I know” he said “but the darts team hadn’t!”

Trump channeling is inner Yoel Roth
But the main attraction, obviously, was Trump.
He received a standing ovation after delivering an enthusiastic affirmation of gay rights not often heard in the GOP.
“We are fighting for the gay community, and we are fighting and fighting hard,” the former president and 2024 candidate said. “With the help of many of the people here tonight in recent years, our movement has taken incredible strides, the strides you’ve made here is incredible.”
Charles Moran, president of the Log Cabin Republicans, challenged other 2024 hopefuls to also say they are willing to fight for gay rights.
“I just heard a Republican candidate for president stand up and say he is willing to fight and I challenge every other Republican to make the same pledge Donald Trump made tonight,” Moran said.
“I’m going to hold all candidates to that same standard,” he added in a later interview. “We’re really at a place now where we’re going to have an open election and there are going to be other Republicans running, and we have a responsibility to look at the entire Republican field.”
Moran and his group worked behind the scenes to build support for the Respect for Marriage Act and brought at least four GOP members of Congress on board. He noted that House Republican Majority Whip-elect Tom Emmer is an ally of the group and wants to proactively engage on legislation.
A primary legislative goal for Log Cabin Republicans is the “Restore Honor to Servicemembers Act,” which would provide an opportunity for those dishonorably discharged under “Don’t ask, don’t tell” to have their discharge status changed.

“And it’s inflation proof because you are putting it on finance, so you are going to have fixed costs of energy for 20 years going forward. “
Oh, right – the “fixed” cost of electricity, which is projected to increase, what was it, 50% or so next year? After the previous 50% increase. And the one before that. Because of renewables – because the marginal cost without the “carbon credits” and renewables “stealing” supply is still the same as it was 10 years ago.
Or does he mean a fixed cost of zero, because you wont have electricity?
And you are financing it at a time when interest rates are rising.

Saw an interesting example of the leaf blower and LGA mindset today. I go through a park that was massively overplanted with London Plane trees about 20 years ago. It was handed over the a certain LGA once all the blocks were sold who actually do a pretty good job of maintaining it (albeit with residents paying a surcharge on their rates for the privilege). Today the path was 3 inches deep in leaves dropped with the heat, not even the main deciduous drop. These were dutifully blown to the side – till this afternoon’s sea breeze.

I once experienced turbulence almost like this. It felt like the plane was yawing at one stage and the wings were going to be ripped off. It’s terrifying.

Melbourne councils are chopping down trees and removing vegetation from footpaths
Countershot
https://www.melbourne.vic.gov.au/about-melbourne/sustainability/Pages/cooling-our-city.aspx
Urban areas are usually warmer than their rural surroundings, creating what is known as the ‘urban heat island effect’. As cities continue to grow, vegetation is lost and surfaces are paved or covered with buildings, which absorb and radiate heat.
As part of our commitment to the Paris Climate agreement, to limit global temperature rise to under 2°C by 2050, we are working towards cooling our city. One way we are doing this is through greening projects, such as tree planting. Our goal is to plant 3000 trees in Melbourne every year to increase the resilience of the urban forest and to cool our city by 4°C.
Trees and vegetation can cool our cities by providing shade, reflecting sunlight and by releasing moisture into the air through their leaves in a process called transpiration. We want to see more greening in Melbourne in order to grow our urban forest.

He can’t run it as he’s busy with too much stuff going on. With the right settings it could mostly be run on autopilot. I’d be happy to run it for free. He needs to add streaming allowing for something resembling Apple TV + . Done properly, he could turn it into a terra cap. I’d love to get my hands on it fire more of those arseholes. I’d run it for free with a balloon payout at the end of three years.

The streets are about the last place you can grow any sort of decent tree, much improved with underground power removing the need for the ridiculous pruning you used to see. Luckily some LGAs are starting to use some decent eucalypts.
They’re doing a splendid job. Their assignment is to make sure Network 10 loses money for its US owners by committing the commercial suicide of targeting millenials as its audience*.
Making sure almost no-one watches it (like the ABC) is part of their assignment.
Welcome to the upside-down world of tax-loss accounting.
*Millenials don’t buy (or watch) anything unless it’s free. Targeting millenials is suicide for a TV network. That’s why Australia’s only profitable TV networks, 7 and 9, target the lucrative 25-54 age group, who actually buy the stuff their advertisers advertise, unlike stingy milennials.

It’s all he ever thinks about.
The Right completely underestimated the importance of local councils and of local politics. You could have resisted this sort of stupidity arising if you had common sense conservatives in local offices, but instead we have fringe left advocates cutting their teeth and implementing the stupidest, ugliest, and costliest proposals that barely survive a few years before being replaced by something even more hideous. There is no way back without a serious effort to reverse the Left’s hold locally.
They don’t go real well through a mush of dropped mangos either.

Now suppose, instead of private capital, solar projects were financed using thirty-year government bonds. Remarkably, the real rate of interest on these bonds has fallen to zero or below — and if the current judgements of investors are correct, rates will remain at or close to zero for decades to come.
…
Once a solar module has been installed, a zero rate of interest means that the electricity it generates is virtually free. Spread over the lifetime of the module, the cost is around 2c/kWh (assuming $1/watt cost, 2000 operating hours per year and a twenty-five-year lifetime). That cost would be indexed to the rate of inflation, but would probably never exceed 3c/kWh.
A Somali arrives in Australia as a new immigrant. He stops the first person he sees walking down the street and says “Thank you Mr Aussie for letting me in this country!” But the passer-by says “You are mistaken, I am Indian”.
The man goes on and encounters another passer-by. “Thank you for having such a beautiful country here in Australia!” The person says “I am not Aussie, I am Pakistani!”
The Somali chap continues on, and the next person he sees he stops, shakes his hand and says “Thank you for the wonderful Australia!” That person says “I am from Iraq, I am not Aussie!”
He finally sees a nice lady and cautiously asks “Are you an Australian citizen?” She says “No, I am from Lebanon!” He is puzzled, and asks her “Where are all the Aussies?” The Lebanese lady looks at her watch, shrugs and says, “Probably at work”.

The only way the US avoids a recession is if the Fed pivots early and takes it’s foot off the throat of the economy. Also perhaps stopping QT. Meaning inflation remains somewhat elevated although at a lower level and the USD backs off. In which case gold and BTC will take off. Along with a whole lot of commodities.

I have been reading Ian Rankin’s (Scottish crime novelist) latest and the disruption and destruction of Edinburgh because of the fad for toy railways crops up again and again. It is reminiscent of what has happened in Sydney, another victim of political vanity.
Capacity factor for offshore wind in Europe is about 52%
Got a source for that; the max I’ve read is just over 30%. As well as no wind the high wind speeds shut the stupid things down as well.

He is a total fuckwit, a true legend in his own bathwater.
The Guardian article doesn’t mention cost. I wonder how much grift for the unions and other hangers on has been factored into any costs.
Bowen also mentions Danish experts giving their approval. Since the Danes have the highest energy costs in the world he probably thinks that’s an outcome worth mimicking.
Ok, so not a joke by NY Times to publish a crossword in the shape of a Swastika (and they are obviously pro Hitler, like seriously):

A blonde gets caught in a blizzard where it was snowing heavily and blowing to the point that visibility was almost zero. She makes her way to the car and wonders how she is going to make it home.
She sat in her car while it warmed up and thought about her situation. She finally remembered dad’s advice that if she ever got caught in a blizzard she should wait for a snow plow to come by and follow it. This made her feel much better and sure enough in a little while a snow plow went by and she started to follow it.
As she followed the snow plow she was feeling very smug as they continued and she was not having any problem with the blizzard conditions. After quite some time had passed she was somewhat surprised when the snow plow stopped and the driver got out and came back to her car and signaled for her to roll down her window. The snow plow driver wanted to know if she was all right as she had been following him for a long time. She said that she was fine and told him of her dad’s advice to follow a snow plow when caught in a blizzard.
The driver replied that it was okay with him and she could continue following if she wanted but he was done with the Walmart parking lot and was going over to the K-mart next.

I had a nice conversation during morning walk. Came to a house, there was a cockatoo on the balcony looking hopefully at the lady of the house. She saw me, waved, asked if I had anything for her watcher.
I did, said I, and pulled a bit of bread from my pocket. She laughed at that. Two other cockies also were in the frangipani looking shy but hopeful.
I offered balcony cockie the bread, but it looked at me then at her, then at me. Because she had a biscuit. Biscuits trump bread every day of the week. She relented and gave the cockie the biscuit. A happy cockie.
The lady then pointed at the post holding the verandah roof up, it was somewhat frayed. “We replaced it a year ago”. Already has had bits et out of it. Yup, says I, they’re fun but they can eat your house. Literally in her case.
Meanwhile another cockie was looking hungry in the frangipani, so I offered it the bread I had. Down it came, branch to branch, then gracefully accepted the offering. After which, now being completely out of bread, I went on my way on the rest of walk.
the funny thing is that the transmission infrastructure is already built so on one level it makes sense to put a big wind gen down there.
the un-funny thing is that if we read between the lines, then the enormity of what is about unfold starts to become apparent.
they plan on going full-steam (bad pun) and turning of the thermal plants.
this will be the most disastrous and destabilizing thing you could do to a grid.
Elec Eng and assorted BsC will have been running models
and what’s the bet that the physics flunkers are picking winners based on the most favourable models?
the reality will be that we end up with a squillion dollars of windmills AND coal.

Unsurprisingly there is a strong interdependence between optimal generation decisions and optimal transmission decisions. Each will be suboptimal based on whatever of the other is on the ground at the time. Wind relies on geographic dispersal to avoid local wind droughts (not necessarily possible for some weather patterns). Traditional generation sources tend to be more thermal economies of scale.

Dominic Perrottet reveals recall of NSW Parliament to pass energy legislation amid Albanese Government’s price relief bill (Sky News, 19 Dec)
“New South Wales state politicians will sit for one last time this year after parliament was recalled to deal with energy legislation.
Politicians on Wednesday will vote on a bill that is being introduced almost a week after the Albanese Government’s energy relief package passed the federal parliament.
Premier Dominic Perrottet said he asked the Presiding Officers on Monday to recall the parliament, in a move that had the support of Opposition Leader Chris Minns.
“The Energy and Utilities Administration (Amendment) Bill 2022 will enable the government to place a temporary cap on the price of coal used for domestic electricity generation at $125 a tonne,” Mr Perrottet said.”
So now the Libs are supporting price controls. Someone nuke us please, were done for. Hopefully my brushtail possums will evolve into a race that has an actual brain.
Discussions with engineers tend to begin, “We would be more efficient but we had to work with what we’ve got,”. In one sense they’re right but it’s not terribly helpful. So they go away and work on a Masterplan.
There’s a lot of strange illnesses and episodes going on
I have already posted some examples in my circle of friends and acquaintances – although, thankfully, not as bad as the one you noted, Rick. The examples I know are mostly severe joint pain – probably the synovitis that some research papers have recently noted. Inflammation seems a common hallmark of both Covid and the vaccines.
The point that many seem to not want to contemplate is that Covid was almost certainly a virus modified to be especially invasive and contagious to our species. Whilst the IFR was nowhere near what was originally broadcast by the authorities, I have never doubted that it is a mongrel thing to contract – not necessarily in its initial effect – but in the potential effects of which we know very little at this stage. Ditto for the genetic vaccines so stupidly mandated with insufficient (viz 10 years) research.

The destruction of the inner part of Canberra CBD that johanna refers to above is continuing.
The electric train the “government” cut all the trees down for is now going to continue south to the suburbs. To do this there are about three years of roadworks which have just started. To help pay for all of this there are now 40kph zones with speed cameras installed.
Memo: don’t go anywhere near the big department stores there for a long time.
And in shocking news from another southern capital:
Another hot food favourite is in short supply across Victoria as farmers struggle to meet consumer demands in the wake of mass damage to cabbage crops.
The beloved dim sim – both fried and steamed – has in recent months become a rare commodity at many of the state’s retailers and supermarkets.
Devastating floods, rising costs and unfavourable weather conditions have hampered peak growing seasons over winter and spring, forcing many farmers forced to start from scratch.

After 35 years of marriage, a husband and wife came for counselling. When asked what the problem was, the wife went into a tirade listing every problem they had ever had in the years they had been married. On and on and on – neglect, lack of intimacy, emptiness, loneliness, feeling unloved and unlovable, an entire laundry list of unmet needs she had endured.
Finally, after allowing this for a sufficient length of time, the therapist got up, walked around the desk and after asking the wife to stand, he embraced and kissed her long and passionately as her husband watched with a raised eyebrow.
The woman shut up and quietly sat down in a daze.
The therapist turned to the husband and said. “This is what your wife needs at least 3 times a week. Can you do this?”
“Well, I can drop her off here on Monday and Wednesday… but I fish on Fridays!!”
Dover is correct about the danger of greens infesting councils. It’s very hard to know who to vote for and who NOT to vote for.

The future farms would be hooked into energy grids on the mainland in Gippsland and Latrobe valley, with the potential to provide 10 gigawatts a year of wind power.
or 27.4 megawatts a day at best. big fucking whoop!
Deceiving the innumerate, like the reference I found recently to a “big Battery” being able to provide 2000 MW seconds (assuming it is fully charged when needed).
Wasn’t Phillip Adams one of those who signed that infamous letter, calling on the President of Venezuela to come to Australia and reform the Australian economy? That was about when he went silent?
Who the hell is paying for all these bird mashers? The dick-tator has just about sent Vicco broke right?
Perhaps I should have added to this: in other words, you are going to be pushing excrement uphill to try and prove anything very much in terms of admissible evidence via ‘studies’ re any longer term effects.
Why? He’s still functioning mentally. Nothing unusual about that.
Still rock hard in his leftist opinions though. With him it’s religious.

I’d wager that Macbeth feels pretty good to still be alive and kicking and reading the yoof here showing that yoof is wasted on the young – those under seventy, that is.
Ed Dowd, a former BlackRock portfolio manager recently participated in Senator Johnson roundtable including many eminent doctors. He concentrates solely on the data. He starts speaking just after the 21 minute mark and talks for only about 5 minutes. His point is that not only did excess deaths and disability increase from 2021 onwards, but the increase was significantly greater in what would normally be expected to be the heathiest cohort, people in long term employment covered by medical insurance through their work. Suddenly, they were seeing higher deaths and disability than the general population, which was a complete switch around. What had changed? Ony one thing – the vaccine mandates.
“The Right completely underestimated the importance of local councils and of local politics. You could have resisted this sort of stupidity arising if you had common sense conservatives in local offices, but instead we have fringe left advocates cutting their teeth and implementing the stupidest, ugliest, and costliest proposals that barely survive a few years before being replaced by something even more hideous. There is no way back without a serious effort to reverse the Left’s hold locally.”
Exactly, thanks Dover. I’ve argued this here before, which is that the road for the right to claw back political influence and to enact political and social changes is to begin locally. The right must do what the Greens have done successfully over the last three decades, infiltrate (for want of a better word) local councils and make changes from there. Sure, it’s a long slow road, but it works. The Greens, before they hit the federal senate, before they hit the federal House of Reps, before they ran in state elections, began in local councils. The Greens now dominate or make up a large chunk of many councils across the country, which is why so many local councils are now hotbeds of far-left ideology, they’re too busy spruiking BDS boycotts, trans issues, green claptrap and so on rather than the fundamentals of roads, rates and rubbish. They’ve provided us with a template to follow, it’s time some on the right took up this political fight, politics isn’t just downstream from culture, it’s also local.

Vicki, do you have a link for recent research on synovitis as a reaction to Covid jab? My son got that, badly, in both wrists, two weeks after the second jab which was only three weeks after the first. I couldn’t find anything on it when I searched a last Christmas when his pain was excruciating.
Proven as bilateral synovitis of sudden development with no past history by MRI which I paid for, because no doc would chase it up any further on public money nor attribute it to the jab – Emergency at Prince of Wales simply said maybe you’ve fractured a wrist and xrayed the worst one which of course wouldn’t pick up synovitis (this on a bilateral presentation, so that’s the quality of interns these days).

One follows the other, like night follows day, as a democracy based on the rights and duties of citizenship slides into neo-tribalism, aided and abetted by the philosophically & morally bankrupt two main political parties, who’ve each in their own way betrayed their foundational principles in the quest for power. But to what end?

Indigenous juvenile offenders in the Wheatbelt town I grew up in would be collected by the local cops on a dark and moonless night, driven several miles out of town, dropped off, and told to walk home. “Oh, and by the way, Katchdika man’s out there, he’;ll sneak up on you in the dark, and smash your heads in with his stone club…”

Stories Mother would probably tell us.
Some of the smaller WA towns don’t have much of a problem with their aboriginal yoof because they also have a responsible elder or two to keep them in line.
If any of the local ferals play up, the elders send the miscreants up to the Kimberley to have some culture beaten into them at one of the “communities”.
The yoofs hate losing their playstations and daily diet of Maccas/KFC/Hungry Jacks.
Only works if the elders are from the same mob as the villains.

One of Phillip Adams original ideas which I have never forgotten was a Saturday article in the Australian when he advised that the Aides epidemic was caused by American women with sagging vaginas caused by the over use of vibrators. I don’t know if he ever topped that as I stopped reading him then and the Australian not long after.
Is this fair dinkum?

I will go out on a non-vibrating limb here, and assert that the women Philip Adams knew are doing it wrong. In any event, he’s misspelled ‘post hole diggers’.
Stopped? I would have started reading him after that.
