Kevin Downey Jr has a good summary of the Twitter files so far. I’ve linked the ZH repeat of it because PJ Media is being slow.

Why You Need To Start Paying Attention To The ‘Twitter Files’ (26 Dec)

What Have We Learned?
We have learned the FBI is not the only government agency censoring and surveilling Americans. Twitter was a veritable “pig pile” when it comes to spying on We the People. The DOD, CIA, and even local police had their fingers in the pie. And Twitter was only one of the pies. Other Big Tech firms, including Facebook and Verizon (pssst that’s a cell phone carrier), were in on the game. Big Brother is watching. We are being spied on, and frequently silenced. Well, at least those of us who speak out against the Stalin-like censoring and surveilling of Americans.

You can see why nothing ever happens about rigged elections and corrupt Democrats. The crook-chasers are now completely controlled by the crooks.

Interesting that no one seems to know who is doing these attacks.

3 Washington State Electric Substations Vandalized (26 Dec)

Vandalism at three power substations in western Washington early Sunday initially cut power to about 14,000 utility customers, the Pierce County Sheriff’s Office said.
…
In January, a U.S. Department of Homeland Security report warned that domestic extremists have been developing “credible, specific plans” to attack electricity infrastructure since at least 2020.

This suggests the DHS know who it they are. But if so they aren’t naming them, which is curious.

I recall this being the publicized method of attack from a exercise where special forces were given free reign to bring the country to it’s knees through unconventional methods. The implication was it’s one of the least effective ways they could think of.

Paris has fallen:

Good, those bastards presume to lead Europe and the world because they are so sophisticated yet they allowed every piece of crap to set up shop in their country. We can thank the French for so many problems and horrors that are happening today. They gave Ayatollah Khomeini asylum from where he plotted and executed his glorious return to and takeover of Iran. How is that working out for the world?

1789 Jul 14 was the beginning of the end.
I’m actually surprised it has taken this long and still not finished yet
Must be human resilience to BS.
Good for us.

PS, Why did it had it be the French?
Treacherous they are, but did they deserve it?

I love tinkering too rick

He’s now a disappointment kid at Christmas, just realised that today is Boxing Day. They’re not open until tomorrow.

Morning program is back to morning grass slashing and continuing on with batch of 6 sand pit excavators for little bloke and his mates.

I honestly have the best sand pit excavator design in the world. It has wrist movement unlike to generic CCP sand pit excavators.

I saw Paris in 1994 and loved it- don’t think I would now.

I saw Paris in 1972. Lovely city, awful people. The scene was set by a visit to the Church de la Madeleine. Wandering around, hear a splashing noise, look around to see a Frog passing on one of the columns.

Gabor, I appreciate your thoughts, although I believe Bespoke put it succinctly;
Forgiveness and empathy should be given freely without coercion or obligation atherwise it’s a lie.

Agree, I’m not in the same position so can’t judge, dislike some relatives and avoid them but no hate involved. Probably wouldn’t visit them, the feeling is the same, the circumstance doesn’t matter.

All that nothing but good about the dead I’m afraid is nonsense.
Being dead does not make you a good person posthumously.

Funny thing about Paris when I visited, I found the people to be very nice and friendly. GSOH too. Don’t blame the French for their rotten political class. It’s become more and obvious to me as the years roll on that ‘democracy’ was a thin veneer. Even little Johnny hoWARd bared his teeth at us.

Loved the place tbh.

ChatGPT: has artificial intelligence arrived, will it crush Google, or become Google 2.0 and worse?
by Jo Nova

Another Great Disrupter?

What if you had access to an experimental Chatbot that could write your reports, debug your code, design your new ad campaign and answer all your questions? We are already using Google or some search engine to find links to these answers. But now an AI has been released that may disrupt all of that and a lot more. ChatGPT was trained on text culled from the internet and it creates the answer live in seconds — it writes it out in a conversation with you, and in Python code, Norwegian, iambic pentameter, whatever you want. It can do birthday suggestions, business plans, eulogies, speeches — like a personal assistant with a copy of the entire World Wide Web in their temporal cortex.

Google, the dominant gatekeeper to the internet for 20 years, suddenly faces a “make or break” point. ChatGPT could wipe out its’ business model and Google has issued a “Code Red”. An extinction level event couldn’t happen to a nicer company, but will ChatGPT be better?

It was launched on November 30th, and is taking off. Jorden Peterson asks, is this Gutenberg Press Level? It’s engaging, wow.

Footage Shows “Looting Across Buffalo” As City Plunged Into Chaos After Blizzard

“Looting in Buffalo being significantly downplayed by local media,” said one Twitter user. Local media outlet WGRZ reported, “New York State Police confirm reports of 2 looting incidents.” But judging by the footage posted on Twitter, looting appears to be widespread.

Rand Paul’s Annual ‘Festivus’ Report: $482,276,543,907 in Government Waste

Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) on Friday continued the annual tradition of celebrating “Festivus,” airing out his many grievances as it relates to government waste.

Paul’s 2022 Festivus report highlights $482,276,543,907 in government waste and includes $2.3 million used by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) for an experiment involving injecting Beagle puppies with cocaine, $202,000 used by the Department of Defense (DOD) on Starbucks espresso machines, and $3 million for the construction of a Gandhi museum.

“This will be the 10th year in a row that I’ve celebrated #Festivus with you. By celebrated I mean have a little fun at the expense of Washington. If we don’t laugh we might cry,”

The NIH also wasted a significant amount of money. That includes $2.1 million on encouraging Ethiopians to wear shoes, $2.3 million injecting Beagle puppies with cocaine, $1.1 million on “training mice to binge drink alcohol,” over $519,000 using mice to study racial aggression, and $187,500 on “verifying that kids love their pets.”

Twitter File Release #11 – The Government Censorship Campaign to Control COVID-19 Information

December 26, 2022 – Sundance

Twitter File release #11 hits on the long-anticipated information surrounding how the platform was instructed by various government agencies to remove content adverse to the expressed opinion of CDC, HHS, and DHS officials. [Release #11 Here]

However, in this first release Zweig starts to build the story of how the CDC and HHS set the foundation for the echo-chamber that ended with Twitter executives running amok.

Government.

Sends your tenants broke, then wants to tax you extra for the empty buildings.
https://www.smh.com.au/national/nsw/tax-push-to-banish-zombie-shops-from-sydney-s-high-streets-20221209-p5c564.html
A bid to reverse the decline of suburban high streets by punishing landlords who leave their shops vacant has been backed by some business groups, but shunned by both sides of state politics.

A so-called “vacancy tax” was previously supported in 2019 by then small business commissioner Robyn Hobbs and then small business ombudsman Kate Carnell, but was never implemented.

At least the idea stinks so much neither side wants to do it…yet.

[Twitter File #11 – Release Here]

“When the Biden admin took over, one of their first meeting requests with Twitter executives was on Covid. The focus was on “anti-vaxxer accounts.” Especially Alex Berenson,” Zweig writes as he then begins to give examples of various medical professionals that were targeted by the White House and the platform.

The outcome of the HHS and CDC push circled around politics, which, when combined with the ideological perspectives of the Twitter executives, inevitably ended up making COVID-19 a political issue on the platform. Critics of COVID-19 policy were blocked, censored, removed and restricted. Advocates of government policy were enhanced, amplified, promoted and enlarged.

The scale of the issue meant supportive algorithms based on key words needed to be created, and the scope of the information battle necessitated the hiring of contractors. As Zweig notes, “contractors in places like the Philippines, also moderated content. They were given decision trees to aid in the process, but tasking non experts to adjudicate tweets on complex topics like myocarditis and mask efficacy data was destined for a significant error rate.”

The Biden administration wanted to use fear as a weapon to control public opinion of COVID-19. The aligned ideological Twitter executives also wanted to assist using fear and fought to controversialize and target any voice who downplayed the fear of covid. One of those pragmatic voices was President Trump.

President Trump sent out this Tweet in 2020 which was not well received by former FBI General Counsel, now Twitter General Counsel, Jim Baker:

Apparently, the phrase “don’t be afraid of Covid” was triggering for those who wanted fear and panic to be the prevalent perspective on the virus.

Twitter General Counsel Jim Baker asked the head of Twitter’s censorship group, Yoel Roth, why wasn’t this statement worthy of Donald Trump being removed for violating the Twitter Covid policy?

As you can see, Jim Baker wanted to censor the optimistic approach of President Trump in order to amplify the fearful and looming message.

The motive of Jim Baker, while undefined by Mr. Zweig, is transparent in hindsight.

The platform officials and the various officials in media, were promoting the fear and worry narrative as part of an election strategy to facilitate mail-in ballots. COVID-19 was as much, perhaps even more of, an election manipulation tool as it was a virus.

OldOzzie, from the comments it is clear that what Critical Race Theory and Black Lives Matter have unleashed does not bode well for what are historically difficult race relations in America. I felt this as I stood in front of empty newly burned out buildings in Selma Albama recently, on the very spot where Martin Luther King led the Civil Rights marchers over the Edmund Pettus Bridge towards a far more hopeful future of genuine inclusion into mainstream America. There was so much goodwill which has now been squandered.

Leftist ‘blame the whites’ victim theorising has inevitably turned into black street violence, which has set some of America’s mainstream back to expressing the attitudinal hatreds of the Deep South’s days of Jim Crow. They will be wielding the spiked truncheons we saw in the historic display in the Selma memorial museum next.

Well done, leftists. On track for your usual destruction of civilised life and behaviour.

The ’68 riots were actually multiples worse. Did Paris “fall”?

Mai’68 brought the whole of France to a standstill – until a counter protest of about a million non-left-wing-lunatics marched up the Champs Élysées.

It’s what they do.

No worse bores than the returnees who gush over Paris.
And worse than the dog poo on the pavements are the women in their elegant clothes with the baked-in sweat smell; avoid Paris in the cool months – their used winter knitwear gives off that putrid Parisian perfume.
But tastes vary

Putting some sense back into the “medieval times were hell vs medieval times were heaven on earth” debate:

https://www.adamsmith.org/blog/regulation-industry/medieval-peasants-really-did-not-work-only-150-days-a-year/

Some of the comments are really stupid comments from historians and Marxists, one comment quotes Adam Smith to note how feudalism had lords pay an increasingly low tax burden over time and that wages also fell.

(HINT HINT: THERE WAS A REASON WHY THE PEASANT’S REVOLT AND PURITAN PARLIAMENTARIANS HAD POPULAR SUPPORT)

Dan Sullivan 10 months ago · 0 Likes

This depends on what period you mean by “Medieval.”
Six Centuries of Work and Wages, by Thurold Rogers, details how wages fell after the Norman Conquest, and continued to fall with the Enclosure Acts that began just 20 years after the Magna Carta.

To understand why they fell, see Wealth of Nations, Book 1, Chapter 11, “Of the Rent of Land.” Land was monopolized to the point that the landlord left the worker little more than what he needed to survive. Thus, the problem was not capitalism, but landlordism.

Adam Smith proposed in other chapters that government should be funded by “ground rents,” or land value tax. Richard Cobden detailed how landlords, who paid for all of government from land rents before the Magna Carta, paid lower and lower shares until they were paying about 4% of the costs by 1816. Aside from throwing the tax burden onto producers, the low taxes on land allowed the landlords to hold vast tracts out of use and to make tenants pay rack-rents on the little land that was available to them.

Wow!

What we were not taught at school:

The Peasants Revolt, 1381.

Richard II was 14 and up to 60,000 peasants and yeoman rode to confront the government in London, riding in two arms from Maidstone (Kent) and in Essex.

It started over a poll tax to fund an unpopular foreign war; the outrages began as tax collectors were putting their hands up dresses to feel for a young woman’s maidenhead, as unmarried women were not liable but married women were. It turns out that ius primae noctis was a myth, but the methods of tax assessment were dangerously close to the concept.

If peasants were rich and worked 70-150 days a year, I doubt this rebellion and near revolution would have gotten off the ground; several high officials were executed and royal, church & noble castles were sacked or went turncoat.

I can see the merit in this.

Just about every CBD in the country, as well as every metropolitan beachside strip has a 70 year old dilapidated weatherboard house nestled on a quarter or eighth-acre block and surrounded by restaurants, hotels, office buildings or even high rises.

None of them are mine, so I am only surmising that they are owned by either a really old bloke (or chick) or a family trust, watching with glee as its value increases by the hour.

Empty shopfronts are no different. Once you’ve bought it, it’s yours. Unless it’s some sort of health or fire hazard the owners should be able to do what they like with it.

The councils can eat shit. What are they going to do – compel business owner to tout for business? ‘Wanted business to rent my shop. Prepared to make a loss to get the council off my back.’

The other, next-step question is – what type of shop is acceptable? Florists? Travel agents? Vego-lesbian cafes? Off Ya Tree franchises? Methadone wholsesalers?

Why would you buy something worth high-six or seven figures if it’s conditional that officious council housewives can tell you what to do with your investment?

Worse places to visit than gay Paree. And very gay on our first visit because pride march down the Bvde St Michel. Sat comfortably in a corner café and watched the wondrous spectacle.

I prefer the countryside and smaller towns. Always good food, even if it’s just a sandwich and a glass of plonk.

the landlord has increased the rent and then the shop remains empty, even after four/five years.

Due to tax, council rates and regulations.

What you were lied to about in school: the Saxon “invasion” of England.

At least the fact that the Saxon invasion being a cultural and not literal one is becoming widely known, the Saxon invasion of post Roman Britain hinges on the misunderstanding of the Roman word for Count.

The DNA and archeology say that there was never an invasion. Funnily enough, English has the same sentence structure as Irish.

Also too, the earliest Saxon rulers…had “Welsh” names!

The Normans and Victorians/Tudors had a vested interest in claiming the legitimacy of an invading usurper.*

“Britain AD – The Invasion that Never Was, Francis Pryor”

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iejwIpAKPyg

*We all know the Saxons and Normandy intermarried and eventually the lines were married through Margaret of Scotland.

I’m glad you can howl with “pureblood” laughter at your daughter’s plight.

All I can do is weep for my little grandchildren who have had no choice in the matter.

Anyone who cannot see what is taking place here is blind. The West NEEDS war to terminate the monetary system as it stands today. They are looking for a war with Russia and China so they can call Bretton Woods II and craft their digital currency managed by the IMF and install their one-world government administered by the United Nations. We will completely lose all freedom and any right to vote whatsoever. Keep in mind that in ALL parliamentary systems, the people never vote for who shall be the head of state. That is unique to the United States. They want to eliminate that ability, Our computer has been warning that we will soon end the right of Americans to vote for a President.

What a delusional prick.

The plan was to be in Bergerac in July. BA (an airline that merely pretends to be top tier) cancelled the flight from Southampton.

Now it’s a Planes, Trains and Automobiles script to get over there for the booked holiday.

Letter from Don Bradman to new PM Malcolm Fraser

15 December, 1975

Dear Mr Fraser,

Amidst the pile of congratulatory letters you will be receiving this may well be near the bottom, but it will be high in sincerity. A marvellous victory in which your personal conduct and dignity stood out against the background of arrogance and propaganda indulged in by your opponents. And if I may say so, the charm and bearing of your wife came through with great credit to you both.

Now you may have to travel a long and difficult road along which your enemies will seek to destroy you.

As a non-political person, but a passionate advocate of freedom from socialism (or worse) I do hope your Government will shun attention to trivial matters and concentrate on vital principles.

What the people need are clearly defined rules which they can read and understand so that they can get on with their affairs.

The Statutes Book is currently a nightmare for business, with the Trades Practises Act one of the worst in that even those administering the Act admit they don’t know what is and is not legal.

You have stated you will abolish the P.J.T. I hate it as much as you do and of course it ought to go, eventually. But you know Labor will rant and rave that you cannot have wage restraint if you don’t have control of prices.

Even though their argument is fallacious in that wages set by the Arbitration Court are the MINIMUMS one may pay, whereas prices set by the P.J.T. are the MAXIMUMS you may charge, the Union leaders are past masters at distorting the distinction.

The great enemy today is inflation which, if not brought under control and quickly, will ruin our economy and destroy private enterprise.

You cannot control inflation without controlling wage increases and of course people will object to controlled wages if prices go on rising. By some means or other a way must be found to preserve the purchasing power of money – today’s money, not tomorrow’s money – because otherwise savings, life assurance, superannuation and such like gradually become meaningless.

The way things are presented in the press is most important.

I am Chairman of Directors of a Company which had its years result portrayed in the press as a “bonanza”. I felt constrained to rebuke this description by pointing out that less than 7% on funds after all the work, risk, tribulations etc. was hardly a bonanza when Government Bonds would pay us 10% to do nothing.

The public must be re-educated to believe that private enterprise is entitled to rewards as long as it obeys fair and reasonable rules laid down by Government.

Maybe you can influence leaders of the press to a better understanding of this necessity of presentation.

I hope also your Government will be able to protect “freedom to work”. In society where men are compelled to lose employment unless they are unionists (which has happened recently in this State), where they are prevented from entering premises where they want to work by a handful of “pickets”, there is something radically wrong.

It will be wonderful if we can have three years of Government where you and your Ministers stand above petty squabbles and bickering, but instead concentrate on policies and principles.

Good luck and best wishes in the great and difficult task ahead.

Yours sincerely,

Don Bradman

He was absolutely correct. Hawke and Keating agreed with him; they weren’t perfect, but they were not a complete disaster like the Rudd-Gillard “government”.

The joke of all of this being that Fraser was arguably more left wing than Hawke or Keating and the lefty twitter mob just does their two minutes of hate without any reflection on reality or the nuances of what really happened.

Rubbish! .. England was invaded regularly prior to William the Conqueror settling the matter once and for all! .. Saxons, Vikings, Romans even Picts they all took their turns ..

You can’t argue with DNA. People in English villages are essentially the same as their ancestors in pre-Roman times.

The Irish (Scots) and Danes (Lindisfarne, Danelaw) genuinely invaded.

The Saxons and Picts were most likely there the whole time, before and after the Roman period.

England was once connected to the continent by Doggerland and the Channel. People likely turned up as soon as the Ice Age ended sufficiently, for perhaps 7,000+ years.

Rent our beachhouse for about a $1k a night. We don’t do less than 3 nights. We do offer a discount fo a week. This year across the board rentals are down. This is the lowest occupancy in 7 years. To boost numbers we offered a lower rate but less discount amounting to the same net. Had a scammer trying to rent it for $51k for 3 months. They are the stupidest scammers. Claiming to be overseas but wanted to inspect first. The other thing is renters trying it on to go off platform. We always report them. The platforms are hopeless and we have about 1/3rd private rentals anyway. Pay a heap of tax but the deductions make it still worthwhile improving the place. Capital expenditure only to claim when the place is sold. Having to share with the ATO on the capital gain is going to piss me off. The rate of tax goes down after we live in it. Hopefully going to live there shortly. Waking up to the birds and sun on the water is great. Any damage that gets reported we don’t charge for but if they try to get away with it thinking we won’t notice we charge them. Family is the worst for damage.

Keep his statues, but use them as both a remembrance and a warning.

‘Progsives’ just don’t get this, KD.

Inflation rate when the letter was written.
15.11%

Good to see government took his advice to heart and preserved the purchasing power of the little aussie bleeder so well.

https://www.officialdata.org/australia/inflation/1975?amount=1
Value of $1 from 1975 to 2022
$1 in 1975 is equivalent in purchasing power to about $8.01 today, an increase of $7.01 over 47 years. The dollar had an average inflation rate of 4.53% per year between 1975 and today, producing a cumulative price increase of 700.73%.

The inflation rate in 1975 was 15.11%. The current inflation rate compared to last year is now 7.30%. If this number holds, $1 today will be equivalent in buying power to $1.07 next year.

England was invaded regularly prior to William the Conqueror settling the matter once and for all

And after William I. Regularly, and not counting Scottish land-based invasions and assorted reaving, and also not counting the Channel Islands and smaller raids during the Hundred Years’ War:

The last Danish invasion, 1069;
The French, 1215 (the future Louis VIII was temporarily crowned);
The French and Scottish, 1385;
Henry Bolingbroke (IV), 1399;
The French, 1405;
Henry Tudor (VII), 1485;
Perkin Warbeck and the Flemish, 1495, 1496 and 1497;
William III, 1688; and finally
The French again in 1797.

Can you imagine if this was proposed, let alone implemented in Caberrahhhh?

Too right, KD. I think she simply took our names, noted time of arrival and reason for visit. That was good enough for me. She was just a very nice human being who wanted to help if she could and did call that number to offer the arm of the cops to our case. She agreed that premises like that hotel should not be left unattended, for reasons of safety. She was especially concerned when I mentioned my eighty years of life and said that struggling on in the unbreathable room could have given me a heart attack due to my ‘asthma’ (bronchiectasis), for she thought I was very much younger. No-one wants old ladies popping off in the night. Sometimes looking still very spry is not an advantage.

We still don’t know how that sleeping ‘night manager’ got woken up and alerted to our distress.

Rosie, Menton is a good place to stop too. You can get good accomodation between water and railway which will take you into Nice via Monte. Or the other way into Italy.

Price points are reasonable. We stayed at the Hotel de Londres a couple of years ago. Not fancy but cute.
