Fatboy,
I don’t understand why you think a messy democratic process is a negative. Democracy is messy and if there are reps who don’t want McCarthy as speaker then it’s their right to vote against. The US isn’t like the Chinese CCP where at their last big meeting a dissenter was spirited out of the room. Republics and democracies are messy. You need to get used to it.

The Raad family is not new to the town of Young.
They’ve been nesting there a while.
& that’s not the only NSW town inside the ‘doctor belt’ that’s been ‘enhanced‘ by unsolicited & unwanted diversity.
My ‘lations have been stewing about this for quite a while. They don’t vote for Anal’s team anyway, which will be the reason Anal & TanyaTrotter are rubbing their noses in it.

Does anyone really recall the economic state of the country when Howard took over? It felt like a poor country coming over and visiting.
Work colleges who visited the US at this time made this very comment to me. “When I visited the USA, I realised how poor we were!” This was made in the context of comparison to Australia at the end of the Howard era.
given that merkel said about the minsk agreements being a ruse to buy time for ukraine to build up an army. my take was the plan was to enroll ukraine into nato, but first it needed to be able to protect itself as russia would have invaded at any hint this was even on the cards. so putin struck first well ahead of schedule. the uke neo-nazis also got ahead of themselves given they were trained and weaponised by nato and planned to invade the donbass, more grounds for russia to step in.
ukes are now working on a further mobilisation as they are about to be swamped by russian forces
Cutting off supply routes is imo going to be the name of the game.

JC – 100%.
An Eastern States friend of mine who is a fairly well known Perfessor in Politics and definitely aligned with Labor did confess to me that “the Labor Party is the least democratic party in the Western sphere.”
He pointed out various sacking and deregistering of members and MPs who do not tow the party line. He doesn’t like the SFLs but he said “at least you’re allowed to cross the floor.”

My UK soshuls tell me …
He’s lost The Sunday Sport too.
Now that is funny.
As for the “psychic”, I am totally sceptical of any such story unless the “reading” is totally blind and in a sterile environment.
The psychic was “introduced by good friends”. What odds the story being fed back to Ginge had leaked to the psychic via Whinger’s network.
Recruiting coppers who have no affinity for the population they’re policing.
When I was kid growing up in County Durham during the 1950s one of my uncle’s, for some unfathomable reason, joined plod and after training was stationed locally .. in 4 years he never arrested or booked anyone because everyone knew him and he knew the consequences of getting the ‘neighbours” offside ..

db and others are trying on the talking point that they are hearing from their favourite grifter content creators, which is that Matt Gaetz is using his supposed leverage to extract concessions that the Squad never got. Except… the problem is that Gaetz has not extracted any concessions yet. No deal has been done. The McCarthy camp keeps on leaking that a deal is imminent, but it hasn’t arrived yet and the failed votes are into double figures now.
It didn’t help that McCarthy leaked details of Gaetz’s list of demands, which has now led to Gaetz throwing a tanty in front of reporters and promising to never vote for McCarthy… thus losing all his leverage. Either Gaetz backs down on his own word, or he is not a part of the solution any more.
It’s not as if there is any policy at stake here anyway, this is all about power. Gaetz is employing a veto, which is very much a part of the American political system but doesn’t achieve anything except removing your influence on the outcome.
The Squad were right not to pull this kind of stunt, because it wouldn’t have gotten them anywhere. It certainly wouldn’t have magicked up Medicare For All out of thin air, just like Gaetz is not going to come out of this smelling like roses.

For Gaetz that’s 11 successful votes Monty.
He only fails if Swampy McSquishy gets up.
Yevgeny Prigozhin is the founder of Russia’s most powerful mercenary force, the Wagner Group. Wagner has played a key role in the Russian offensive against Bakhmut.
There were indications that monetary motives were driving Russia’s and Prigozhin’s “obsession” with Bakhmut, the US official said.
The United States has previously accused Russian mercenaries of exploiting natural resources in Central African Republic, Mali, Sudan and elsewhere to help fund Moscow’s war in Ukraine – a charge Russia rejected as “anti-Russian rage”.

This “mess” in the US that some Catters are referring to is exactly why I love and admire US politics any day over Australian politics.
I love the fact that Senators from the same party, for example, will publicly go toe-for-toe to look after their own States. The Australian Senate is party-based and hardly any, if any, Senator truly looks after their own State over their party affiliation.
The same can be said for the US HoRs.
Yet, grifters like Munt say its embarrassing. I disagree. Its democracy at work and publicly at work instead of shady backroom deals.
Let’s remember the Munt supported Gillard in giving Australia its worst Speaker ever in Slipper through backroom deals and politicking….how “representative” is that?
US Politics any day over Australian.

Blatant attempt to rationalize the Squad licking DNC boots against their earlier bravado. The point of attempting a quid pro quo for Pelosi as Speaker then was get MFA on the floor of the House so people could declare their support or opposition openly, not so as to guarantee its passage. The DNC opposed this and strong-armed the Squad because while they pretend to support MFA they are fact against it. That the Squad didn’t even try indicates how seriously they take the concerns of their purported constituency.
BTW, hilarious that you accuse Dore of being a grifter as opposed to those that entertained Force the Vote but then caved as soon as their donors got on line.

Funny the way “embarrassing” is the descriptor for the deadlock over the Speaker’s job. It’s voting, nothing could be more democratic. If there are nefarious reasons for the way they vote…that is another thing altogether. It seems to be all out in the open though. The protagonists can’t wait to put their cases and that of the others out there.
And of course it’s about power. It’s politics.
You know what’s embarrassing…the former Speaker craftily unpicking the staples from a SOTU address and tearing it up straight after delivery just for the cameras.

The Squad didn’t have the numbers for MFA. You can’t conjure numbers out of thin air, db. You may think that forcing doomed votes as a signalling tactic via blackmail is worth something, but that’s not generally how politics works in a party of government.
Gaetz doesn’t have the numbers to do anything but block. Which is not doing anything, but refusing to do. That is the nature of veto: you leave a vacuum for others to act.

I was interested that Hammer and Scorecard got a mention in one of the Twitter files drops, which we talked about roughly two days after the 2020 election. The evidence that the CIA was all over and through Twitter, as well as the FBI, does rather add to that lil’ aspect.

Yep. Isn’t it fun!
It’s not as if there aren’t 220 other possible candidates. Perhaps one of the others might do better? And that’s even without seeking a Speaker from outside the House. Did you notice how Gaetz nominated Donald Trump? I though it was quite delicious trolling.

“Covid took a massive toll on the force – we were not only dragged from pillar to post, manning state and regional borders to being thrust at protest after protest, but then we were expected to stop toddlers playing on slides and grannies sitting on benches in the park,” one senior constable, who left last year, said.
Too little too late Mr Plod – I said ‘no’ at the time, you could have too. If enough of us had, it would have ended within a week.
The same police who’ve managed to organise three (difficult to keep count) ‘speeding fine strikes‘ – where they seem to be able to coordinate well enough to not issue any traffic fines for a week or two at a time, yet they had no choice but to get brutally kinetic with Gran & normies.
Yeah, sure. Pull the other one fellers.

His biography should have been called
Cringe
(By Whinge)
As I say, I am uber-sceptical of any psychic story where the reading isn’t done cold and in a totally sterile environment.
Often these people already know why the target (and that is the correct term) is visiting them – death of a relative, unlucky in love, yada, yada.
Even if they don’t, they start asking a series of general but leading questions.
“I sense you have experienced a separation”.
(Separation. This could mean anything. A death, a divorce, a child moving away).
The subject then starts filling in gaps, and the psychic refines the leading questions/statements.
But here’s the thing. People like Ginge and Whinge will happily swallow whole the idea that Diana’s spirit is communicating from the grave via a medium. But they would scoff and sneer – yes, scoff and sneer – at a devout Christian who says they believe in the afterlife.
7
The bureaucrats think they aren’t answerable to anyone:
Good mates old man was a copper at a port town. Tried to stop after hours opening. Got told on no uncertain terms his house would be burnt down with him and his family inside. Not a problem. He’d pick up out of towners DD. Kept his arrests in the plus category.
But they would scoff and sneer – yes, scoff and sneer – at a devout Christian who says they believe in the afterlife.
Will believe anything except that which is the truth.

I liked Coober Pedy. It reminded me of the prairie derg city at the base of Devil’s Tower, but with bigger mounds.
We were at Devil’s Tower in the northern summer of 2014 and I loved it all. We walked all the way around the monolith, I filmed the prairie dogs going about their business right by the roadside and then we had lunch at a nearby restaurant with giant cowboy boots on a fence. The boots were placed in such a way to frame the Devil’s Tower, great photos.
To top it all off the restaurant seemed to be a meeting place that day for drivers with classic American cars, mostly from the 50s and the 60s, more than a 100 cars. My late husband took more photos of the cars than the extinct volcano.

Dr Duck can give you a little more detail on them.
What if I have a conscientious objection to being vaccinated? In the case of a conscientious objection about receiving COVID-19 vaccination, practitioners must inform their employer and/or other relevant colleagues (where necessary) of their objection as soon as reasonably practical.
While some health practitioners may have a conscientious objection to COVID-19 vaccination, all practitioners, including students on placement, must comply with local employer, health service or health department policies, procedures and guidelines relating to COVID-19 vaccination. Any queries about these should be directed to the individual employer, health service, state or territory health department and/or education provider for registered students.

From Armstrong Economics –
COMMENT: Marty, I am impressed. Your contacts are unsurpassable. You put out two months ago that Ukraine lost 100,000 soldiers. Some did not believe you. It turns out that was classified information. Ursula von der Leyen, the head of the EU, had released a video and then edited it deleting that very information at the request of Zelensky. All this is to hide the fact that Ukraine has been losing the war as you said. With its armed forces down at least one-third.
Here is the video that is now going around. You also said that Bucha was another false flag where Ukraine killed Russian Ukrainians and left their bodies on the streets to blame Russia. You said there were videos that NATO had and was hiding. My hat is off to you. You really do have reliable sources.
REPLY: You have to understand that creating false flags is the #1 occupation of Ukraine. They shot down the Malaysia fight and tried to blame the Russians. They shot a missile into Poland and claimed it was a Russian attack on NATO.
On March 31, 2022, the mayor of Bucha was joyful in announcing that the settlement had been liberated. He does not talk about any corpses on the roads and the terrible destruction of mass graves. It was two days later when suddenly photos and videos of people lying along the road appear and horrendous stories about hundreds of dead being thrown in mass graves. These reports did not surface until two days after the Russians left. The Ukrainians were staging another false flag. Why did the mayor appear joyous and made no mention at first of these atrocities?
It is to the advantage of Zelensky who appears before every parliament he can ask for money. In Italy, he claimed Russians were capturing children and torturing them. That allegation vanished. He says whatever he can to get money. He could have just complied with the Belgrad and Minsk Agreements but he is determined to lead the world into war. The US Pentagon has come out and even said that they CAN NOT independently verify what took place in Bucha. There is no way to verify anything in Bucha and there are videos that show people laying in the street pretending to be dead with no blood and then there are videos showing they get up when the camera passes.
The Ukrainians are out to create World War III. They are desperately trying to get the West to invade Russia and their goal is to utterly destroy Russia and the Russian people who they hate passionately. Look at this propaganda video they used to tell the world Russians killed Ukrainian civilians. In this video, the bodies are people just laying down. You see no blood. , the “corpse” on the right is moving his arm At the 30th second, look in the rearview mirror. The “corpse” sits up! This is why the Pentagon remains silent. NATO has videos also confirming Bucha was a Ukrainian false flag. The rumor is that when the Ukrainians did enter Bucha, they themselves killed any ethnic Russian Ukrainians there.
All of this propaganda is to enrage the people to call for World War III. Zelensky has even called on NATO to launch nuclear weapons and wipe out Russia . Zelensky will destroy the Ukrainian people with this insanity. He is lying to the world about the devastation of the losses and is searching for a way to get NATO to invade Russia. He uses this propaganda to gain support worldwide. The US has handed him $113 billion when Russia’s annual military budget is at best $65 billion and Germany’s is $56 billion. The US is spending untold amounts of money for the total destruction of Russia.”

I know an American dude, who I met here. His dad ran or a part of the Reg Livermore Lab when they were nuke testing in the Mojave. He reckons they had the oldest tv’s and radios in the house because his father would always repair them when they broke down.
He is lying to the world about the devastation of the losses and is searching for a way to get NATO to invade Russia.
Wait one moment. You said Armstrong has impeccable sources; Russia and Armstrong know their losses are much higher, Zelensky & von Leiderhosen have censored and edited news etc.
So why would he need to or then lie about it? Armstrong and his Russian handlers aren’t making any sense here.
He uses this propaganda to gain support worldwide. The US has handed him $113 billion when Russia’s annual military budget is at best $65 billion and Germany’s is $56 billion.
Poor Russia, always playing victim!
Oh no it’s not fair when countries have more money than our guns and butter economy!

Doc Faustus:
Struggling with the whole ‘hypersonic nuclear missile as game changer’ concept. Let’s imagine China (or Russia) uses one to vaporise an aircraft carrier group.
What happens next?
Especially if China or Russia strenuously denies using a nuclear weapon and insist piss poor security and storage of one of the US own nukes was responsible. Then demand the US remove the remainder of the fleets from major sea lanes. “Remember what happened when the US last stopped essential materiel from being traded with the last Asian power?”
It’s not about the reality – it’s about the way the story can be spun, and you can bet the Media and the Democrats will bring on the ‘voice of rationality’ and back down. Especially if they have treasonous pricks like Milley in charge who has sworn to alert China of any offensive actions by the US, and has deliberately sabotaged US defence efforts by hiding the ‘football’/ codes for retaliation in case of a nuclear strike by an enemy.

Speaking of which, this year’s Australian Lamb ad has just been released.
A step into PC, with an Aboriginal star (lamb having been a staple of the pre-settlement diet) and a lot of softball targets (e.g. eating a pie with a knife and fork) plus ‘groovy’ ad manbuns using primitive special effects.

The Real Cost of War
COMMENT: Good Morning Mr. Armstrong, a long-time reader and client of Socrates and your conferences. I just read your entry for Belarus drafting 18 to 60-year-olds. I had a feeling that eventually, that would take place here in the states. I can tell you without a doubt, I will never comply. My family has served in WWII and Vietnam. We have given enough. I absolutely despise our government. I am wondering if this is part of the continued collapse of the government. With such low recruitment levels and the political fallout from the past few years, they must realize people will not be forced to serve. Especially those with the means to defend themselves. Is this a main component of civil unrest here with separatist movements? Just curious if you can elaborate on what you think will happen when they institute a draft here.
All the Best.
J
REPLY: My family has fought in every war since the American Revolution. My cousin still has the musket on his wall from the American Revolution. I lost half of my high school friends to Vietnam and my father and his three brothers were all in World War II and my grandfathers on both sides of the family were in World War I. There is no question that in a time of war, the first shot fired is both silent and never against an enemy. It is always against any truthful reporting of events.
The Defense Casualty Analysis System (DCAS) Extract Files contain records of 58,220 U.S. military fatal casualties of the Vietnam War. The government propaganda site, Wikipedia also directed by the Deep States, has low-balled the casualties claiming in total, all US and allied military deaths reached 282,000. We claim that is a victory for the VC lost 444,000 to possibly 666,000. The civilians who died have been low-balled with estimates of 405,000 up to 627,000. Just turn to Britannica and you get:
“In 1995 Vietnam released its official estimate of the number of people killed during the Vietnam War: as many as 2,000,000 civilians on both sides and some 1,100,000 North Vietnamese and Viet Cong fighters.”
President Lydon Johnson knew there was no reason to enter Vietnam. He knew we could not get out easily. Still, he committed the country to war because the Neocons wanted it.
This is a famous photograph from Vietnam that is probably the most memorable of all time. You see South Vietnamese forces following terrified children. At the center is 9-year-old Phan Thi Kim Phùc, as she and other children are running from an aerial napalm attack on suspected Viet Cong hiding places on June 8, 1972. The plane accidentally dropped napalm on South Vietnamese troops and civilians. As always, just the collateral damage of war. The terrified girl had ripped off her burning clothes while fleeing. This photo was taken by Nick Ut of The Associated Press that captured the horror of Vietnam worldwide. It was 1972 when President Nixon said enough and promised to bring the troops home.
This 9-year-old make girl running from napalm, Phan Thi Kim Phúc, had profoundly changed her forever. Such people are tormented for a lifetime. They wake up at night dreaming over and over about the horror of those events for the rest of their lives. Kim Phúc was bitter and full of hatred she said. Later, she picked up the Bible and converted to Christianity. Today, she lives in Toronto with her family and helps other children victims of war around the world. It is those who survive who are profoundly tortured for the remainder of their lives. That is the real cost of war that nobody cares about.
The official estimate of civilian deaths in World War II stands at An estimated total of 70–85 million. The actual military deaths were 21,000,000 to 25,500,000. There is ALWAYS an equal amount of civilian deaths in times of war. Those in power never want to talk about that.”
I got hold of Zoltan’s latest in full from CS of 22 Dec. He’s not making the case that the USD will lose reserve status. What he’s saying is that with the formation of the alternate trading blocks (BRICS+) there will be a reduction in demand for USD’s. That will support a lower dollar which will be commodity inflationary.
Slowly perhaps at first but when sentiment gets a roll on and moves to be more universally USD bearish, commodities generally will catch a substantial bid (sell excess USD to buy commodities). Z is saying for years and that’s what it’s looking like- China opening , our commodity your problem, US spending Bills etc etc.
US jobs tonight might shed some light but the peak rate might be higher than anticipated and stay there longer with very small cuts behind that- as Z’s commodity narrative takes hold. The Fed doesn’t give a shit about stocks, it’s the bond market that rattles them. Fugly few years ahead in equities I’d say.
1
Also dot, I dunno how the hell we can undo all the shit that happened in the past 3 years and figure out what is inflation in the true sense.
What’s the impact of the following:
1. supply chain issues
2. QE combined with massive spending which Trump started incidentally.
3. The war and impact on energy and basic commodities
4. reduction in the labor force and therefore wage increases.
5. commencement of re-shoring
6. green new deal.
A large part of price rises was as a consequence of a change in relative prices due to 5 of those 6 points which isn’t necessarily inflation as we understand it.
Be wary, US manufacturing has entered a recession.

Civilisation means occupationally we can be highly specialised.
Taking up that point…it is valid, of course, but can we become too specialised?
I linked to an article in Nature this morning that presents evidence for a decline in scientific innovation, which has profound significance for our future.
One of the causes postulated was the highly specialised nature of contemporary scientific research which results in a closed groupthink within those specialties and the reluctance or even the ability to engage in cross-disciplinary work which might disrupt accepted paradigms and stimulate new discoveries.
An analogy might be a musical group where each player is a virtuoso on his own instrument but nobody knows how to play in time with the others, resulting in dissonance rather than collaborative creativity.

Ratzinger was Chair of the Commission (of 12 Cardinals) who wrote the Catechism of the Catholic Church.
Without doubt, one of the most complex undertakings that incorporated a wealth of biblical knowledge as well as synthesising of texts from Saint writings, exegeses, ancient documentation, past ecumenical councils and the like.
With all of its references, footnotes and passages – and the fact that anyone can look up almost any topic in it, and what the Church teaches on it in plain language, is quite the feat.

Either that or from exceptional team work.
The classic example of the former is Einstein; as is well known, he couldn’t get a job in academia and was working in the Swiss patent office when he wrote four of his landmark papers, including on special relativity and mass-energy equivalence, which could be said to have initiated a Copernican revolution in modern physics.

An ex army mate reckons MH17 was shot down by semi literate Russian rebels likely with Spetsnaz handlers and possibly half cut. Ukrainians had been conducting operations above the MANPAD envelope in the period around the incident. That’s what got the Buks involved. From what he told me most Russian equipment has like the Buk have 2 modes, illiterate peasant mode and trained operator mode. The former allows the to launch an anti aircraft missile that can touch targets to around 90,000ft at screen blips with minimal recognition of the target. The latter allows a radar operator to identify the aircraft type but involves much more training. Washington Post report sort of supports his theory:
My mate was training at Singleton at the time it came down. He said it was the subject of a fair amount of discussion. Hence his opinion.
From what I have seen at the time, poor luck for the Malaysians after MH370 but 2 Singapore Airlines flights bracketed the Malaysian flight on the same vector. If the rebels had launched 5 min earlier or later could have easily been an SQ tagged flight. Either way no airline should have probably been transiting that route with the nature of the hardware kicking round there and the kinetic nature of the action below the flight path. Sadly takes something like this to make people wise I suppose as procedures were changed after.

Actually Sal, i have never like Lamb. My Father would have lived on Lamb Chops if he could, i hated the greasy bits of crap on a bone that not even a great gravy could improve.
As for the latter in my missive, i have eaten them in Djarkarta 1982 when i was a young junior sailor, actually, quite nice in chilli plum sauce.

I liked Coober Pedy. It reminded me of the prairie derg city at the base of Devil’s Tower, but with bigger mounds.
We were at Devil’s Tower in the northern summer of 2014 and I loved it all. We walked all the way around the monolith, I filmed the prairie dogs going about their business right by the roadside and then we had lunch at a nearby restaurant with giant cowboy boots on a fence. The boots were placed in such a way to frame the Devil’s Tower, great photos.
To top it all off the restaurant seemed to be a meeting place that day for drivers with classic American cars, mostly from the 50s and the 60s, more than a 100 cars. My late husband took more photos of the cars than the extinct volcano.

And just for Head Case while he works out where his double chin ends…………..
A couple, both age 78, went to a sex therapist’s office. The doctor asked “What can I do for you?” The man said “Will you watch us have sexual intercourse?” The doctor looked puzzled, but agreed. When the couple finished, the doctor said “There’s nothing wrong with the way you have intercourse” and charged them $50. This happened several weeks in a row. The couple would make an appointment, have intercourse with no problems, pay the doctor, then leave. Finally the doctor asked “Just exactly what are you trying to find out?” The old man said “We’re not trying to find out anything. She’s married and we can’t go to her house. I’m married and we can’t go to my house. The Holiday Inn charges $90. The Hilton charges $108. We do it here for $50, and I get $43 back from Medicare”.

An ex army mate reckons MH17 was shot down by semi literate Russian rebels likely with Spetsnaz handlers and possibly half cut. Ukrainians had been conducting operations above the MANPAD envelope in the period around the incident. That’s what got the Buks involved.
The LGM Buk guys had shot down a Ukrainian transport jet at about 30,000 feet two or three days earlier. So when the MH flight came through the same area they drew the logical conclusion.
Once they worked out exactly who they shot down there was a lot of oh shitting. Much of that phone conversation was recorded, it made for interesting reading. The Buk launcher then took off like a scalded rabbit over the border to the east.
I’d be interested if Col. Igor Girkin had a hand in the planning, since he was closely involved in the 2014 campaign. His comments about the current fiasco have been very interesting reading also. He’s not at all happy with the RGS about their handling of the war, no sirree.

Unlike Monty, I have been to the fjords and, even more importantly, quite a few times to Malmo, I have family there. The most recent visit was an eye-opener. The city centre was still overrun with bicycle riders but a large proportion of them were Middle Easterners. The corner shops were operated by Indians and Pakistanis. My relatives were not concerned so neither was I and nothing happened while I was there. We have an agreement not to discuss political matters as they are fairly leftie so I don’t know their opinion about the recent election results in Sweden.

Carp, I think lamb in early summer is about the only time to eat it. 6 hour slow cooked lamb is amazing.
Barbecued Lamb chops
Barbecued three colored capsicum
Barbecued onion and tomatoes.
clean it all up after the concoction is barbed then stick it in a bowl and and olive oil and oregano.
It’s delicious.

Indigenous dogs roamed Jamestown in the early 17th century, and out of desperation during harsh winter months, some colonists ate them, researchers have proven.

We ate lamb probably 3 times a week growing up; consequently, I didn’t touch a morsel of it for about 10 years afte leaving home!

From what I have seen at the time, poor luck for the Malaysians after MH370 but 2 Singapore Airlines flights bracketed the Malaysian flight on the same vector. If the rebels had launched 5 min earlier or later could have easily been an SQ tagged flight. Either way no airline should have probably been transiting that route with the nature of the hardware kicking round there and the kinetic nature of the action below the flight path. Sadly takes something like this to make people wise I suppose as procedures were changed after.
Rockdoctor, I think it was around Christmas 1980 when husband, myself and daughter mad e our first trip to Europe on QANTAS – on the very long flight(“red -eye”?) that took us over India and the Middle East and eastern Europe. When we were over the Middle East in the early evening after dinner, as I recall, most of the passengers were preparing for some sort of snooze in Economy. Husband, however, was fascinated with the flight itself, and continued to look out the window at what was darkness below with occasional lights. He then became aware of intermittent explosions of light. Suddenly, he saw what he thought was a MIG jet alongside of our aircraft. He beckoned the “hostie” over & she straight away said to pull the shade down and that there was a “storm”. Later on our trip we became aware that the Iran/Iraq war had escalated & husband was convinced that what he saw was a battle below.
On our return flight home at the end of our trip, QANTAS changed the route and I recall us having a very rough landing in Damascus in Syria. Our pilot subsequently apologised and implied this was an unusual landing at that airport. In retrospect, we reckon that QANTAS and probably other airlines for the duration of that 10 year war took precautions and changed flight routes.
The initial reaction of husband to the tragic destruction of the Malaysian airline over Ukraine was “why the bloody hell were they flying over an activated warzone?”

Forcing a vote you know you will lose seems pointless, but I am sure it makes sense in some 13-dimensional sense of which you are aware.
Like the first attempt at impeaching Trump? The point of the vote is for those for and against to put their cards on the table. Why would Pelosi oppose that?
Yes, if the Squad withheld their vote to make Pelosi Speaker until she acceded to their demands… that is pure blackmail.
It isn’t blackmail in the slightest. Apprise yourself of the meaning of words.

Sal, both my husband and I come from pork and poultry people so when we got married we though we will diversify. We tried beef first and loved it. It took much longer to get used to lamb but eventually leg of lamb roast was my husband’s signature dish.

When I was in Melbournibad and a lot less price sensitive about my weekly shopping used to throw a couple of lamb back straps on the bbq like steaks pretty regularly.

The Coming Revolution – The End of Brazil
From Armstrong Economics –
“The leftist press immediately claims that any assertions of a rigged election in Brazil are as baseless as the Hunter Biden laptop. Our model shows that the election was in fact bogus and it was in a series of global elections that are being rigged to create this global leftist agenda. For any newspaper to immediately proclaim Bolanaro left the country amid “baseless” claims shows that they are just propaganda and part of the agenda.
Our model showed a serious Directional Change would take place in 2023, but we are looking at the complete collapse of Brazil and a major revolution unfolding in 2030. Leftist governments have ALWAYS, and without exception, resulted in declining economic growth. NEVER has even just one ever produced any economic benefit to the whole of any nation. Brazil has sealed its fate and it will take the rest of the continent with it. South and Central America have been plagued with Marxism and that is why the continent has been unable to rise from its knees. Even the Pope has been infected with this philosophy which is why he is always commenting on the economy rather than religion. This has led to many Catholics now saying – He Ain’t My Pope.”
Fatboy,
I don’t understand why you think a messy democratic process is a negative. Democracy is messy and if there are reps who don’t want McCarthy as speaker then it’s their right to vote against. The US isn’t like the Chinese CCP where at their last big meeting a dissenter was spirited out of the room. Republics and democracies are messy. You need to get used to it.

given that merkel said about the minsk agreements being a ruse to buy time for ukraine to build up an army. my take was the plan was to enroll ukraine into nato, but first it needed to be able to protect itself as russia would have invaded at any hint this was even on the cards. so putin struck first well ahead of schedule. the uke neo-nazis also got ahead of themselves given they were trained and weaponised by nato and planned to invade the donbass, more grounds for russia to step in.

LOL!
db and others are trying on the talking point that they are hearing from their favourite grifter content creators, which is that Matt Gaetz is using his supposed leverage to extract concessions that the Squad never got. Except… the problem is that Gaetz has not extracted any concessions yet. No deal has been done. The McCarthy camp keeps on leaking that a deal is imminent, but it hasn’t arrived yet and the failed votes are into double figures now.
It didn’t help that McCarthy leaked details of Gaetz’s list of demands, which has now led to Gaetz throwing a tanty in front of reporters and promising to never vote for McCarthy… thus losing all his leverage. Either Gaetz backs down on his own word, or he is not a part of the solution any more.
It’s not as if there is any policy at stake here anyway, this is all about power. Gaetz is employing a veto, which is very much a part of the American political system but doesn’t achieve anything except removing your influence on the outcome.
The Squad were right not to pull this kind of stunt, because it wouldn’t have gotten them anywhere. It certainly wouldn’t have magicked up Medicare For All out of thin air, just like Gaetz is not going to come out of this smelling like roses.

A close ally of the Russian president, Vladimir Putin, is interested in taking control of salt and gypsum from mines near the Ukrainian city of Bakhmut, according to a White House official.
Yevgeny Prigozhin is the founder of Russia’s most powerful mercenary force, the Wagner Group. Wagner has played a key role in the Russian offensive against Bakhmut.
There were indications that monetary motives were driving Russia’s and Prigozhin’s “obsession” with Bakhmut, the US official said.
The United States has previously accused Russian mercenaries of exploiting natural resources in Central African Republic, Mali, Sudan and elsewhere to help fund Moscow’s war in Ukraine – a charge Russia rejected as “anti-Russian rage”.

This “mess” in the US that some Catters are referring to is exactly why I love and admire US politics any day over Australian politics.
I love the fact that Senators from the same party, for example, will publicly go toe-for-toe to look after their own States. The Australian Senate is party-based and hardly any, if any, Senator truly looks after their own State over their party affiliation.
The same can be said for the US HoRs.
Yet, grifters like Munt say its embarrassing. I disagree. Its democracy at work and publicly at work instead of shady backroom deals.
Let’s remember the Munt supported Gillard in giving Australia its worst Speaker ever in Slipper through backroom deals and politicking….how “representative” is that?

Blatant attempt to rationalize the Squad licking DNC boots against their earlier bravado. The point of attempting a quid pro quo for Pelosi as Speaker then was get MFA on the floor of the House so people could declare their support or opposition openly, not so as to guarantee its passage. The DNC opposed this and strong-armed the Squad because while they pretend to support MFA they are fact against it. That the Squad didn’t even try indicates how seriously they take the concerns of their purported constituency.
BTW, hilarious that you accuse Dore of being a grifter as opposed to those that entertained Force the Vote but then caved as soon as their donors got on line.
Funny the way “embarrassing” is the descriptor for the deadlock over the Speaker’s job. It’s voting, nothing could be more democratic. If there are nefarious reasons for the way they vote…that is another thing altogether. It seems to be all out in the open though. The protagonists can’t wait to put their cases and that of the others out there.
And of course it’s about power. It’s politics.
You know what’s embarrassing…the former Speaker craftily unpicking the staples from a SOTU address and tearing it up straight after delivery just for the cameras.
As I mentioned this morning, his first meeting with conservative House Republicans ended with him saying, “I’ve earned this job, so f*** you.”

The Squad didn’t have the numbers for MFA. You can’t conjure numbers out of thin air, db. You may think that forcing doomed votes as a signalling tactic via blackmail is worth something, but that’s not generally how politics works in a party of government.
Gaetz doesn’t have the numbers to do anything but block. Which is not doing anything, but refusing to do. That is the nature of veto: you leave a vacuum for others to act.

I don’t think he’s nasty, just profoundly dumb!
As I say, I am uber-sceptical of any psychic story where the reading isn’t done cold and in a totally sterile environment.
Often these people already know why the target (and that is the correct term) is visiting them – death of a relative, unlucky in love, yada, yada.
Even if they don’t, they start asking a series of general but leading questions.
“I sense you have experienced a separation”.
(Separation. This could mean anything. A death, a divorce, a child moving away).
The subject then starts filling in gaps, and the psychic refines the leading questions/statements.
But here’s the thing. People like Ginge and Whinge will happily swallow whole the idea that Diana’s spirit is communicating from the grave via a medium. But they would scoff and sneer – yes, scoff and sneer – at a devout Christian who says they believe in the afterlife.
The bureaucrats think they aren’t answerable to anyone:

Brrrrrrrrr after reaching a max of 32 degrees (forecast was for 37) in Perth at 850am this morning it is positively a breezy and chilly 24 in Perth now…(apparent temp is 21).
We were at Devil’s Tower in the northern summer of 2014 and I loved it all. We walked all the way around the monolith, I filmed the prairie dogs going about their business right by the roadside and then we had lunch at a nearby restaurant with giant cowboy boots on a fence. The boots were placed in such a way to frame the Devil’s Tower, great photos.
To top it all off the restaurant seemed to be a meeting place that day for drivers with classic American cars, mostly from the 50s and the 60s, more than a 100 cars. My late husband took more photos of the cars than the extinct volcano.

What if I have a conscientious objection to being vaccinated?
In the case of a conscientious objection about receiving COVID-19 vaccination, practitioners must inform their employer and/or other relevant colleagues (where necessary) of their objection as soon as reasonably practical.
While some health practitioners may have a conscientious objection to COVID-19 vaccination, all practitioners, including students on placement, must comply with local employer, health service or health department policies, procedures and guidelines relating to COVID-19 vaccination. Any queries about these should be directed to the individual employer, health service, state or territory health department and/or education provider for registered students.

Ukraine & Fake News
And more stuff for Jerkoff and Mrs Stencho Pantyhose and Dotty Dot……………………
From Armstrong Economics –
COMMENT: Marty, I am impressed. Your contacts are unsurpassable. You put out two months ago that Ukraine lost 100,000 soldiers. Some did not believe you. It turns out that was classified information. Ursula von der Leyen, the head of the EU, had released a video and then edited it deleting that very information at the request of Zelensky. All this is to hide the fact that Ukraine has been losing the war as you said. With its armed forces down at least one-third.
Here is the video that is now going around. You also said that Bucha was another false flag where Ukraine killed Russian Ukrainians and left their bodies on the streets to blame Russia. You said there were videos that NATO had and was hiding. My hat is off to you. You really do have reliable sources.
REPLY: You have to understand that creating false flags is the #1 occupation of Ukraine. They shot down the Malaysia fight and tried to blame the Russians. They shot a missile into Poland and claimed it was a Russian attack on NATO.
On March 31, 2022, the mayor of Bucha was joyful in announcing that the settlement had been liberated. He does not talk about any corpses on the roads and the terrible destruction of mass graves. It was two days later when suddenly photos and videos of people lying along the road appear and horrendous stories about hundreds of dead being thrown in mass graves. These reports did not surface until two days after the Russians left. The Ukrainians were staging another false flag. Why did the mayor appear joyous and made no mention at first of these atrocities?
It is to the advantage of Zelensky who appears before every parliament he can ask for money. In Italy, he claimed Russians were capturing children and torturing them. That allegation vanished. He says whatever he can to get money. He could have just complied with the Belgrad and Minsk Agreements but he is determined to lead the world into war. The US Pentagon has come out and even said that they CAN NOT independently verify what took place in Bucha. There is no way to verify anything in Bucha and there are videos that show people laying in the street pretending to be dead with no blood and then there are videos showing they get up when the camera passes.
The Ukrainians are out to create World War III. They are desperately trying to get the West to invade Russia and their goal is to utterly destroy Russia and the Russian people who they hate passionately. Look at this propaganda video they used to tell the world Russians killed Ukrainian civilians. In this video, the bodies are people just laying down. You see no blood. , the “corpse” on the right is moving his arm At the 30th second, look in the rearview mirror. The “corpse” sits up! This is why the Pentagon remains silent. NATO has videos also confirming Bucha was a Ukrainian false flag. The rumor is that when the Ukrainians did enter Bucha, they themselves killed any ethnic Russian Ukrainians there.
All of this propaganda is to enrage the people to call for World War III. Zelensky has even called on NATO to launch nuclear weapons and wipe out Russia . Zelensky will destroy the Ukrainian people with this insanity. He is lying to the world about the devastation of the losses and is searching for a way to get NATO to invade Russia. He uses this propaganda to gain support worldwide. The US has handed him $113 billion when Russia’s annual military budget is at best $65 billion and Germany’s is $56 billion. The US is spending untold amounts of money for the total destruction of Russia.”

Especially if China or Russia strenuously denies using a nuclear weapon and insist piss poor security and storage of one of the US own nukes was responsible. Then demand the US remove the remainder of the fleets from major sea lanes. “Remember what happened when the US last stopped essential materiel from being traded with the last Asian power?”
It’s not about the reality – it’s about the way the story can be spun, and you can bet the Media and the Democrats will bring on the ‘voice of rationality’ and back down. Especially if they have treasonous pricks like Milley in charge who has sworn to alert China of any offensive actions by the US, and has deliberately sabotaged US defence efforts by hiding the ‘football’/ codes for retaliation in case of a nuclear strike by an enemy.

The man thanked the boy kindly, complimented him on how bright he was and said “I’m the new pastor in town. If you and your mummy come to church on Sunday, I’ll show you how to get to Heaven”.

The Real Cost of War
COMMENT: Good Morning Mr. Armstrong, a long-time reader and client of Socrates and your conferences. I just read your entry for Belarus drafting 18 to 60-year-olds. I had a feeling that eventually, that would take place here in the states. I can tell you without a doubt, I will never comply. My family has served in WWII and Vietnam. We have given enough. I absolutely despise our government. I am wondering if this is part of the continued collapse of the government. With such low recruitment levels and the political fallout from the past few years, they must realize people will not be forced to serve. Especially those with the means to defend themselves. Is this a main component of civil unrest here with separatist movements? Just curious if you can elaborate on what you think will happen when they institute a draft here.
All the Best.
J
REPLY: My family has fought in every war since the American Revolution. My cousin still has the musket on his wall from the American Revolution. I lost half of my high school friends to Vietnam and my father and his three brothers were all in World War II and my grandfathers on both sides of the family were in World War I. There is no question that in a time of war, the first shot fired is both silent and never against an enemy. It is always against any truthful reporting of events.
The Defense Casualty Analysis System (DCAS) Extract Files contain records of 58,220 U.S. military fatal casualties of the Vietnam War. The government propaganda site, Wikipedia also directed by the Deep States, has low-balled the casualties claiming in total, all US and allied military deaths reached 282,000. We claim that is a victory for the VC lost 444,000 to possibly 666,000. The civilians who died have been low-balled with estimates of 405,000 up to 627,000. Just turn to Britannica and you get:
“In 1995 Vietnam released its official estimate of the number of people killed during the Vietnam War: as many as 2,000,000 civilians on both sides and some 1,100,000 North Vietnamese and Viet Cong fighters.”
President Lydon Johnson knew there was no reason to enter Vietnam. He knew we could not get out easily. Still, he committed the country to war because the Neocons wanted it.
This is a famous photograph from Vietnam that is probably the most memorable of all time. You see South Vietnamese forces following terrified children. At the center is 9-year-old Phan Thi Kim Phùc, as she and other children are running from an aerial napalm attack on suspected Viet Cong hiding places on June 8, 1972. The plane accidentally dropped napalm on South Vietnamese troops and civilians. As always, just the collateral damage of war. The terrified girl had ripped off her burning clothes while fleeing. This photo was taken by Nick Ut of The Associated Press that captured the horror of Vietnam worldwide. It was 1972 when President Nixon said enough and promised to bring the troops home.
This 9-year-old make girl running from napalm, Phan Thi Kim Phúc, had profoundly changed her forever. Such people are tormented for a lifetime. They wake up at night dreaming over and over about the horror of those events for the rest of their lives. Kim Phúc was bitter and full of hatred she said. Later, she picked up the Bible and converted to Christianity. Today, she lives in Toronto with her family and helps other children victims of war around the world. It is those who survive who are profoundly tortured for the remainder of their lives. That is the real cost of war that nobody cares about.
The official estimate of civilian deaths in World War II stands at An estimated total of 70–85 million. The actual military deaths were 21,000,000 to 25,500,000. There is ALWAYS an equal amount of civilian deaths in times of war. Those in power never want to talk about that.”

I got hold of Zoltan’s latest in full from CS of 22 Dec. He’s not making the case that the USD will lose reserve status. What he’s saying is that with the formation of the alternate trading blocks (BRICS+) there will be a reduction in demand for USD’s. That will support a lower dollar which will be commodity inflationary.
Slowly perhaps at first but when sentiment gets a roll on and moves to be more universally USD bearish, commodities generally will catch a substantial bid (sell excess USD to buy commodities). Z is saying for years and that’s what it’s looking like- China opening , our commodity your problem, US spending Bills etc etc.
US jobs tonight might shed some light but the peak rate might be higher than anticipated and stay there longer with very small cuts behind that- as Z’s commodity narrative takes hold. The Fed doesn’t give a shit about stocks, it’s the bond market that rattles them. Fugly few years ahead in equities I’d say.
Also dot, I dunno how the hell we can undo all the shit that happened in the past 3 years and figure out what is inflation in the true sense.
What’s the impact of the following:
1. supply chain issues
2. QE combined with massive spending which Trump started incidentally.
3. The war and impact on energy and basic commodities
4. reduction in the labor force and therefore wage increases.
5. commencement of re-shoring
6. green new deal.
A large part of price rises was as a consequence of a change in relative prices due to 5 of those 6 points which isn’t necessarily inflation as we understand it.
Be wary, US manufacturing has entered a recession.

Journalist never fail to disappoint. Channel 7 has branded Harry as an exile, he is a runaway. You would think the dictionary has been banned.
Taking up that point…it is valid, of course, but can we become too specialised?
I linked to an article in Nature this morning that presents evidence for a decline in scientific innovation, which has profound significance for our future.
One of the causes postulated was the highly specialised nature of contemporary scientific research which results in a closed groupthink within those specialties and the reluctance or even the ability to engage in cross-disciplinary work which might disrupt accepted paradigms and stimulate new discoveries.
An analogy might be a musical group where each player is a virtuoso on his own instrument but nobody knows how to play in time with the others, resulting in dissonance rather than collaborative creativity.
Ratzinger was Chair of the Commission (of 12 Cardinals) who wrote the Catechism of the Catholic Church.
Without doubt, one of the most complex undertakings that incorporated a wealth of biblical knowledge as well as synthesising of texts from Saint writings, exegeses, ancient documentation, past ecumenical councils and the like.
With all of its references, footnotes and passages – and the fact that anyone can look up almost any topic in it, and what the Church teaches on it in plain language, is quite the feat.

Either that or from exceptional team work.
The classic example of the former is Einstein; as is well known, he couldn’t get a job in academia and was working in the Swiss patent office when he wrote four of his landmark papers, including on special relativity and mass-energy equivalence, which could be said to have initiated a Copernican revolution in modern physics.
An ex army mate reckons MH17 was shot down by semi literate Russian rebels likely with Spetsnaz handlers and possibly half cut. Ukrainians had been conducting operations above the MANPAD envelope in the period around the incident. That’s what got the Buks involved. From what he told me most Russian equipment has like the Buk have 2 modes, illiterate peasant mode and trained operator mode. The former allows the to launch an anti aircraft missile that can touch targets to around 90,000ft at screen blips with minimal recognition of the target. The latter allows a radar operator to identify the aircraft type but involves much more training. Washington Post report sort of supports his theory:
https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-switch/wp/2014/07/18/did-the-ukrainian-rebels-even-know-they-were-shooting-at-a-civilian-aircraft/
My mate was training at Singleton at the time it came down. He said it was the subject of a fair amount of discussion. Hence his opinion.
From what I have seen at the time, poor luck for the Malaysians after MH370 but 2 Singapore Airlines flights bracketed the Malaysian flight on the same vector. If the rebels had launched 5 min earlier or later could have easily been an SQ tagged flight. Either way no airline should have probably been transiting that route with the nature of the hardware kicking round there and the kinetic nature of the action below the flight path. Sadly takes something like this to make people wise I suppose as procedures were changed after.
Forcing a vote you know you will lose seems pointless, but I am sure it makes sense in some 13-dimensional sense of which you are aware.
Yes, if the Squad withheld their vote to make Pelosi Speaker until she acceded to their demands… that is pure blackmail.

That foul brain damaged rotting political carcass is actually burying itself in something else, as the braindead lamestream meeja might just reveal in the fullness of time, once the figurative red hot pokers up the latter’s’ fundament can no longer be ignored – but only after a j’ismist actually doing their bloody job (e.g. Joe Aston) blows the whole sordid business wide open.
Remember, you heard it here first, Cats.

Compliments to you Carpe, you’re assimilating very well.
You’ve still got a way to go, as most Japanese aren’t near that complimentary about lamb meat.
Well that’s enough about his missus, what happens in the home dungeon, stays in the home dungeon.
As Bill is fond of saying, “It puts the lotion on the skin or it gets the hose again” .
I think there is something profound in that for all of us.
We were on an Iceland bound cruise when the news came of the plane being shot down. Our Singapore Airlines flight to London took that route a few days earlier and I specifically remember the flight app showing that we were flying over the Donbas region. How close is a close call?
Followed by a tale of local ne’er do well Aboriginal yoofs who made the mistake of trying to steal a stud ram from the farm of a retired Rhodesian commando, who then proceeded to beat them all silly with a military issue string singlet.

I liked Coober Pedy. It reminded me of the prairie derg city at the base of Devil’s Tower, but with bigger mounds.
We were at Devil’s Tower in the northern summer of 2014 and I loved it all. We walked all the way around the monolith, I filmed the prairie dogs going about their business right by the roadside and then we had lunch at a nearby restaurant with giant cowboy boots on a fence. The boots were placed in such a way to frame the Devil’s Tower, great photos.
To top it all off the restaurant seemed to be a meeting place that day for drivers with classic American cars, mostly from the 50s and the 60s, more than a 100 cars. My late husband took more photos of the cars than the extinct volcano.
You walked around a ancient tree.

Bingo!

Don’t eat lamb from NZ it’s even fattier. I like lamb curries. Made one once that was like Rendang. I’d turned the burner down instead of off. Never could reproduce the flavour.
With you on that.
Coming from cattle country I encountered lamb only well into adulthood.
The moniker of “stinking meat” is justified, and deserved.
It’s Ok, that isn’t ‘white sauce’ on your corned beef.
Enjoy.
Fresh lamb with some pepper is delicious.
Mmm…I’ll pass, but goat tastes much better than I expected. Tender, too.
Lamb in NZ was also much better than what you tend to get here.
Wow!

Innovation and Jobs Minister Michaelia Cash has withdrawn comments deemed highly offensive by Labor after she repeatedly threatened to name “every young woman” in Bill Shorten’s office about whom she has heard rumours.
Responding to repeated demands by Labor senator Doug Cameron in a Senate estimates hearing to name her new chief of staff, Senator Cash shot back that it was a “dangerous road” Senator Cameron was walking.
“If you want to start discussing staff matters be very, very careful. Because I’m happy to sit here and name every young woman in Mr Shorten’s office about which rumours in this place abound,” she told the hearing.
Sancho diagnoses PUS – Paranoid Uptick Syndrome.
I was alongside for 10 days, and had both, dog was in a sauce and it was monkey on a stick (skewer), on that deployment i ate rat, bat, dog, cat, i think it was some form of lizard, and some kind of bird with a huge rib cage.
Fish was ok because – fish, this was in the days before cigatera poisoning
And just for Head Case while he works out where his double chin ends…………..
A couple, both age 78, went to a sex therapist’s office. The doctor asked “What can I do for you?” The man said “Will you watch us have sexual intercourse?” The doctor looked puzzled, but agreed. When the couple finished, the doctor said “There’s nothing wrong with the way you have intercourse” and charged them $50. This happened several weeks in a row. The couple would make an appointment, have intercourse with no problems, pay the doctor, then leave. Finally the doctor asked “Just exactly what are you trying to find out?” The old man said “We’re not trying to find out anything. She’s married and we can’t go to her house. I’m married and we can’t go to my house. The Holiday Inn charges $90. The Hilton charges $108. We do it here for $50, and I get $43 back from Medicare”.
Same with camel. Surprisingly tender and tasty but not gamey. My fave in Nth Africa- camel schawama with tahini. Yum!
The LGM Buk guys had shot down a Ukrainian transport jet at about 30,000 feet two or three days earlier. So when the MH flight came through the same area they drew the logical conclusion.
Once they worked out exactly who they shot down there was a lot of oh shitting. Much of that phone conversation was recorded, it made for interesting reading. The Buk launcher then took off like a scalded rabbit over the border to the east.
I’d be interested if Col. Igor Girkin had a hand in the planning, since he was closely involved in the 2014 campaign. His comments about the current fiasco have been very interesting reading also. He’s not at all happy with the RGS about their handling of the war, no sirree.

“Mutton curry” on the sub-continent is actually goat…& very tasty too.
Libel lawyers would be looking at bigger beach houses if Cash opened that particular Pandora’s box.
Unlike Monty, I have been to the fjords and, even more importantly, quite a few times to Malmo, I have family there. The most recent visit was an eye-opener. The city centre was still overrun with bicycle riders but a large proportion of them were Middle Easterners. The corner shops were operated by Indians and Pakistanis. My relatives were not concerned so neither was I and nothing happened while I was there. We have an agreement not to discuss political matters as they are fairly leftie so I don’t know their opinion about the recent election results in Sweden.
Carp, I think lamb in early summer is about the only time to eat it. 6 hour slow cooked lamb is amazing.
Barbecued Lamb chops
Barbecued three colored capsicum
Barbecued onion and tomatoes.
clean it all up after the concoction is barbed then stick it in a bowl and and olive oil and oregano.
It’s delicious.
The Pilgrims ate Fido.
Remains of ancient, indigenous dogs found at Jamestown, as well as proof people ate them (5 Jan)
Maybe for Thanksgiving the Americans should really be eating something other than turkeys…
Carpe, I admire your intestinal fortitude.
Are committee hearings covered by privilege?
(I assume it was in a committee sitting).
More likely there was a hastily convened Uniparty meeting and dirty laundry carefully stowed away.
Speaking of dirty laundry. Sal, isn’t the 6th of the month sheets and towels changeover at the motel?
We ate lamb probably 3 times a week growing up; consequently, I didn’t touch a morsel of it for about 10 years afte leaving home!
Best done on marinaded and on the BBQ with excess fat trimmed off, although I do a delicious Lancashire hot pot in winter time which has no “lambiness” at all.
From what I have seen at the time, poor luck for the Malaysians after MH370 but 2 Singapore Airlines flights bracketed the Malaysian flight on the same vector.

Sadly takes something like this to make people wise I suppose as procedures were changed after.
Rockdoctor, I think it was around Christmas 1980 when husband, myself and daughter mad e our first trip to Europe on QANTAS – on the very long flight(“red -eye”?) that took us over India and the Middle East and eastern Europe. When we were over the Middle East in the early evening after dinner, as I recall, most of the passengers were preparing for some sort of snooze in Economy. Husband, however, was fascinated with the flight itself, and continued to look out the window at what was darkness below with occasional lights. He then became aware of intermittent explosions of light. Suddenly, he saw what he thought was a MIG jet alongside of our aircraft. He beckoned the “hostie” over & she straight away said to pull the shade down and that there was a “storm”. Later on our trip we became aware that the Iran/Iraq war had escalated & husband was convinced that what he saw was a battle below.
On our return flight home at the end of our trip, QANTAS changed the route and I recall us having a very rough landing in Damascus in Syria. Our pilot subsequently apologised and implied this was an unusual landing at that airport. In retrospect, we reckon that QANTAS and probably other airlines for the duration of that 10 year war took precautions and changed flight routes.
The initial reaction of husband to the tragic destruction of the Malaysian airline over Ukraine was “why the bloody hell were they flying over an activated warzone?”
Like the first attempt at impeaching Trump? The point of the vote is for those for and against to put their cards on the table. Why would Pelosi oppose that?
It isn’t blackmail in the slightest. Apprise yourself of the meaning of words.
Sal, both my husband and I come from pork and poultry people so when we got married we though we will diversify. We tried beef first and loved it. It took much longer to get used to lamb but eventually leg of lamb roast was my husband’s signature dish.
When I was in Melbournibad and a lot less price sensitive about my weekly shopping used to throw a couple of lamb back straps on the bbq like steaks pretty regularly. Wouldn’t like to cost doing a similar exercise these days. Cutlet chops are virtually prohibitive now too. Arguably the best meat to bbq (grill).
Lamb is what you eat when there isnt enough mutton left.
flesh of the gods.
Heathen!
The Coming Revolution – The End of Brazil
From Armstrong Economics –
“The leftist press immediately claims that any assertions of a rigged election in Brazil are as baseless as the Hunter Biden laptop. Our model shows that the election was in fact bogus and it was in a series of global elections that are being rigged to create this global leftist agenda. For any newspaper to immediately proclaim Bolanaro left the country amid “baseless” claims shows that they are just propaganda and part of the agenda.
Our model showed a serious Directional Change would take place in 2023, but we are looking at the complete collapse of Brazil and a major revolution unfolding in 2030. Leftist governments have ALWAYS, and without exception, resulted in declining economic growth. NEVER has even just one ever produced any economic benefit to the whole of any nation. Brazil has sealed its fate and it will take the rest of the continent with it. South and Central America have been plagued with Marxism and that is why the continent has been unable to rise from its knees. Even the Pope has been infected with this philosophy which is why he is always commenting on the economy rather than religion. This has led to many Catholics now saying – He Ain’t My Pope.”
