Thanks for posting this. There may be details that you don’t agree on, but she’s right on the money with media suppression now compared to media coverage back then. And also the dismissal of “lockdown”.

EXCLUSIVE: Colonel Richard Kemp slams Prince Harry’s ’25 kills’ claim as security threat

Colonel Richard Kemp, a former British Army commander in Afghanistan, has said Prince Harry’s claim of killing 25 Taliban fighters is a security threat and “undermines” the “good work” he did in the Armed forces

Now Col Kemp, former commander of British forces in Afghanistan, has told the Mirror: “All the good work Prince Harry did on behalf of the Armed forces has been undermined by his comments.

“Not only has he gone too far in talking about this in terms of himself but it may have repercussions for others.

“As a member of Royal Family he has to accept being something of an ambassador for the UK – so his comments may effect the security of his former comrades on foreign operations …”

Most soldiers are unaware of exactly how many opposition forces they kill but Harry wrote that he knew his exact body count because of top-of-the-range military technology.

He explained that he fought “in the era of Apaches and laptops.”

But he added that: “…it seemed essential not to be afraid of that number. So my number is 25.

“It’s not a number that fills me with satisfaction, but nor does it embarrass me.”

The explosive revelation in his book Spare is the first time he has revealed how many deaths in Afghanistan he was responsible for.

His deadly deployment came after he retrained on Apaches in the Army Air Corps, having begun his career as a cavalry officer.

How to Paint a Target on Your Back – Hairy Harry does lack Brains

MAUREEN CALLAHAN: So now we know! Harry hasn’t only recently become small-minded, spoiled, jealous, narcissistic and enraged at his brother for merely existing. He’s ALWAYS been that way

The Harry we have come to know, the Duke of Dishonor and Disgrace, is just that petty.

For all his name-calling and score settling (William pushed me!), no one in these pages looks worse than Harry himself.

No slight is too slight to go unrecorded: William took the better bedroom at Balmoral, the bigger one with a view. ‘My half was smaller and less luxurious,’ our fallen prince writes, because – wait for it —

‘Willy was the Heir, while I was the Spare.’

We know. We got the memo long, long ago, in a galaxy far, far away.

If the Voice recognises indigens in the constitution, is there a potential for this to “destabilise” the ’88 Mabo decision? Or is this a question for the lawyers who look forward to making lots o’ money on these issues in the courts over the next few years?

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.

And how is that dramatically different from using a ballistic missile to start whatever exchange takes place?

‘Engaging in censorship’: Former prime minister Tony Abbott blasts tech giants for pulling anti-Voice advertisements (5 Jan)

Former prime minister Tony Abbott has rallied against social media giants after a series of paid advertisements opposing the Voice to Parliament were pulled.

Advance Australia’s ads pushing people to reject the upcoming referendum were removed by Facebook over what it labelled “misinformation”, according to the lobby group’s chief Matthew Sheahan.

Speaking to the Daily Telegraph, Mr Abbott accused the government and big tech of slanting the playing field in favour of the “yes” vote.

Putin has “met his Vietnam”.

public opinion is not something putin is going to lose sleep over

the russian economy is already in war production, the borders are about to close for the second mobilisation, even though the first hasn’t been fully rolled out to the front yet. Russia is reversing their no first strike nuclear policy. there is no possibility of a colour revolution in russia or any uprising against putin. most russians agree that something needed to be done about uke aggression against russian speakers in donbass.

its very likely that the SMO will be shortly upgraded to total war status.

If I was in russian high command I would focus on cutting off the supply of weapons from the west, without which ukraine would collapse in a couple of months.

zelensky made a joke about nato vs russia and heavy russian losses, the punch line was nato hasnt arrived yet.

Australia’s average life expectancy fell for the first time in a generation in 2021-22 and is expected to fall again this year because of a temporary spike in deaths from COVID-19 and other causes.
The life expectancy for women and men is projected to have fallen by nearly five months in the year ended June 30, while life expectancy this year is expected to fall a further 3.6 months for women and 2.5 months for men.
Australians have taken a hit to their life expectancy. Michele Mossop

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.

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.

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/jan/06/putin-ally-fighting-to-control-salt-and-gypsum-mines-near-ukraine-city-of-bakhmut-says-us
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?

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.

A Significant Majority of Republican Voters Agree With the GOP Rebels (4 Jan)

Trafalgar Group LOL. Remind me how they did in the mid-terms again. Rasmussen must be pissed, there’s a new partisan lickspittle on the block.

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.

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.

“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.

Harry seeing a psychic just underscores what a gullible dope he is.
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.

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.

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.”

To save you polluting your sensory organs, i read that little fraudster piece above.
Its where this claim is snuck in.

They shot down the Malaysia fight and tried to blame the Russians.

LOL. Nice try Stencho. And as Jerkoff would say – Show me the evidence or the Link or whatever. BS from you always.

Bzzzt.
Yeah, nah.
I give you the details of the communications, you email Armstrong and he divulges my details.
I don’t trust him.
And, with the greatest respect, nor do I trust you.

You are as weak as piss as you would not want to email him and report back here. And I don’t trust you either.

I blame excessive hubris from building a computer from the ground up out of spare lawnmower parts and an old microwave.

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!

Oh no it’s not fair when they fight back!

Oh no it’s not fair that they interdicted our special forces who created fake separatist governments in the Donbas!

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.

On the second point, it would be helpful, just for context, if you could post details of anything you’ve built with your hands.
Even a lego house would do.

Oh, I cleaned the pool a few years ago as we were in lockdown and the cleaner was an obvious no show. That would be more times than you, right? Right 🙂

The remarkable thing about Marty’s 32% inflation rate for 22 was that no one caught on. No large hedge fund, no bond funds nor equity players. No one picked up on the fact that the US suffered hyperinflation in 2022 and the only person who knows was an 11 year Leavenworth veteran convicted of massive fraud charges. Incredible.

A delightful angelic little boy was waiting for his mother outside the ladies room of the gas station.

As he stood there, he was approached by a man who asked “Sonny, can you tell me where the Post Office is?”

The little boy replied “Sure! Just go straight down this street two blocks and turn to your right. It’s on the left”.

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 little boy replied with a chuckle “You’re fu*king me, right? You can’t even find the Post Office!”
