Big Nambas,
I don’t care about the whining of “young people”. They haven’t been around as long and they have been totally indoctrinated. They have also grown up in the era of air-con and heating. The older ones went through life like I did, where the coolest thing you could do in summer was cover yourself with a wet towel and lie on a tiled floor. If it was cold, you bunged on more layers and blankets and in the morning, you got dressed in front of the oven in the kitchen.
Add to that the progressives were very careful to make sure microscope was never allowed to stray to any institution – such as state schools. Thus creating the impression the Church was a nest of kiddy-fiddlers.
Paradoxically the readiness of the Church to confront its past is accepted as proof of guilt, but the silence of other institutions is accepted as proof of innocence.
My suspicion is that some, even many, of the historical cases are not true – the progressives have been gunning up claims to make their claims more damning. But at least the Church is not seeking to use that likelihood to tarnish the claims of real victims.
Martin Armstrong’s models are technical analysis married to a cyclic theory with no proof and linked to a finance database that updates with “AI”.

Dangers of Pentagon’s ‘decapitation strike’ against Russia
In recent decades, one of the political West’s favorite strategies have been the so-called “decapitation strikes” against various countries or non-state actors. One of the first examples of this happened in the 1990s in Europe, during the US aggression against Yugoslavia. At the time, NATO forces directly targeted the Serb/Yugoslav leader Slobodan Milosevic. In complete disregard for the safety of his family, NATO destroyed Milosevic’s mansions and residencies, causing casualties among civilians in the process. Although the attacks failed, the Serb/Yugoslav leader was still deposed and later imprisoned in the aftermath of a successful NATO-orchestrated coup.
A similar approach was used against Saddam Hussein in Iraq. These attacks failed, but after the US-led invasion forces occupied most of the country, he was taken prisoner by American troops and after a show trial by the new puppet regime in Baghdad, executed in 2006. A very similar fate awaited the leader of Libya, Muammar Gaddafi, who was also directly targeted during the 2011 NATO aggression on Libya. Unlike Saddam Hussein, Gaddafi never got a show trial, but was instead brutally killed by a mob. Again, in both cases, NATO strikes on the residencies of both leaders resulted in the deaths of their immediate family members and any civilians in their vicinity.
It should be noted that these decapitation strikes brought mixed results. While they did destroy much of the command structure of the targeted country or organization, the ensuing chaos and power vacuum were usually filled by someone with little regard for meaningful dialogue and brought even more suffering to the people of the affected country, causing decades of instability and factionalism. Such strikes were always conducted with impunity, as the targeted countries had no means to respond.
It seems this has become such a favorite strategy in the Pentagon, that the US simply forgot that certain countries can “return the favor”, so now they’re suggesting the same against global powers such as Russia.
For months, in complete disregard of reality, some US officials have been calling for the elimination of Russian leadership. Threatening a country incapable of retaliating is one thing, despite how morally and legally reprehensible that is, but threatening a country whose response could quite literally end the world is a clear indicator of just how detached the US establishment has become.
And yet, this doesn’t stop the said officials from continued calls for decapitation strikes against Russia, as stated by former CIA head David Petraeus, or direct calls for Putin’s assassination by both former US National Security Advisor John Bolton and a sitting US senator Lindsey Graham.
The comments by these US officials inevitably caught Russia’s attention, including its Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov. In an interview with Russia’s TASS news agency published on Tuesday, he condemned that Washington DC obviously doesn’t rule out the assassination of President Vladimir Putin. The foreign minister noted:
“Some unnamed officials from the Pentagon actually threatened to conduct a ‘decapitating strike’ on the Kremlin… What we are talking about is the threat of the physical elimination of the head of the Russian state.”
Moscow’s top diplomat cautioned against such a line of thinking:
“If such ideas are actually being nourished by someone, this someone should think very carefully about the possible consequences of such plans.”
Russia’s top diplomat once again cautioned against such statements, but also recalled that they’re even worse in the case of the Neo-Nazi junta. He warned:
“I am not even mentioning the Kiev regime’s provocations that go off the chart. Volodymyr Zelensky went as far as to demand preventive nuclear strikes by NATO countries on Russia. This is also beyond the bounds of what is acceptable.”
Indeed, such rhetoric is quite disturbing, to say the least. Given how heavily armed the global powers are, calls for decapitation strikes or assassinations of any of their leaders are extremely dangerous.
However, such statements aren’t coming from Moscow or Beijing, as they are aware of the irreversible consequences of such actions. Unfortunately, this doesn’t seem to be the case in Washington DC, where a complete lack of etiquette (diplomatic or otherwise) seems to have become the norm.
How exactly this could affect the world remains to be seen, as Russia is exercising restraint for the time being. This approach is the only sensible one, but the issue is that the political West often sees it as a sign of “weakness”.
Some old people have short memories.
Listening to two ALPBC hive members talking for any length of time is sure to offend most peoples sensibilities.

Nobel Peace Prize winners have deep CIA ties
Far-fetched as it sounds, this year’s winners are all connected to a CIA offshoot, the National Endowment for Democracy (NED) and parroted CIA / State Department / Pentagon talking points about Ukraine and Russia in their acceptance speeches
The Nobel Prize Committee has five judges, appointed by the Norwegian parliament, who are tasked with choosing Nobel Prizewinners.
But people are starting to wonder if there is a 6th Nobel Prize judge, not appointed by the Norwegian parliament, but by the CIA, who is tasked with making sure that winners of the coveted Nobel Peace Prize advance the agenda of U.S. policy makers.
Although the idea may seem far-fetched, this year’s winners all have connections to a CIA offshoot, the National Endowment for Democracy (NED).
Oleksandra Matviichuk, for example, who accepted this year’s Nobel Peace Prize on behalf of the Ukraine Center for Civil Liberties (CCL) on December 10, had received the NED’s annual Democracy Award on behalf of the CCL six months earlier.[1]
The NED was founded in the 1980s to promote propaganda and regime-change operations in the service of U.S. imperial interests. Allen Weinstein, the director of the research study that led to creation of the NED remarked in 1991: “A lot of what we do today was done covertly 25 years ago by the CIA.”
The two other recipients of this year’s Nobel Peace Prize, Ales Bialiatski, a Belarusian dissident, and Memorial, a human rights organization expelled from Russia for violating its foreign agent law, have also received NED awards and probable financing.
While the Nobel Peace Prize has previously gone to warmongers like Theodore Roosevelt, Henry Kissinger and Barack Obama,[2] never before has it gone to organizations that were intricately associated with a foreign intelligence agency specializing in political skullduggery and psychological warfare.
Shades of Obama 2009
Matviichuk’s use of the Nobel Peace Prize ceremony as a forum to promote war drew on the precedent established by the drone king, Barack Obama, when he won the Nobel Peace Prize in 2009.
In his Nobel Peace Prize acceptance speech, Obama provided a tortured defense of U.S. wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, stating “we must begin by acknowledging the hard truth that we will not eradicate violent conflict in our lifetimes. There will be times when nations — acting individually or in concert — will find the use of force not only necessary but morally justified.”
Obama continued:
Yes. State schools are far worse. More so in America.

Inside Cromer High School: Male teachers ‘preyed on young girls’ in the 1980s
The Sydney high school where several male teachers “preyed on young girls” was a cesspit of secrets, lies and cover-ups, past students allege.
“Saw a chart yesterday (forget where) on major Oz city breakdown(s) and it stated Sydney was 45% migrant populated ……..”
I went to Sydney’s Cabramatta High School in the 1970’s, and I had classmates from every inhabited continent on Earth. Off the top of my head, from: England, Scotland, Ireland, France, Spain, Germany, Greece, Scandinavia, Yugoslavia (Serbia, Croatia and Macedonia), Russia, Egypt, Morocco, South Africa, Iran, Lebanon, Pakistan, India, Canada, USA, Mexico, Brazil, Chile, Korea, China, Vietnam and, of course, Australia. They were also of diversity of religion – Jews, many denominations of Christianity, many denominations is Islam, Buddhists and even atheists. I would hazard a guess that it was at least 45% “imports” (or were 1st gen Australian). All were escaping political, religious or racist persecution, and came here seeking only freedom, equality and opportunity.
No-one was safe from discrimination, not even us Skippy’s – we all copped an earful of abuse, but gave as good as we got, and had a good laugh at the others as well as ourselves, with only the occasional fisty-cuffs resulting and usually quickly forgotten . At the end of the day, it didn’t really matter where “they” came from, you could still be mates, or at least civil in the case of, eg Serbian vs Croatian.
There are very few places in the world where this can be the case, most notably Australia, the UK, Canada and the USA – all English “colonies”. Yet oddly also where most complaints of “racism” are entertained and to some extent are illegal. Even more oddly, we no longer seem proud of this tolerance. Sigh – it is, IMO, the inability to allow for offending others that is one of the largest problems we have. Diversity is indeed a strength, but only where we expect, allow and even encourage mild cultural offense – that is the safety valve we have blocked off, to our detriment.
It is also one of the values of traditional Australian culture – that no matter if you are the king or a pauper, that no matter your social or financial standing, you are allowed to find amusement in your perceived folly of others, and that those others are not just allowed, but expected – even encouraged! – to give back as good as they get. And that it is all done in good humour, on the understanding that this not only greases the wheels of diverse cultural interactions, but also gives us all a good laugh – and who can be angry when they are laughing? Is that not the best example of both tolerance and equality?

Musk loses more money than anyone else ever in $200 billion bloodbath
Elon Musk has just passed a milestone that nobody wants to be known for — losing more money than anyone else who has ever existed on planet Earth.
In November 2021, at the height of the stock market craze during the Covid pandemic, Musk was the richest person to have ever walked the earth, with a net worth of $US340 billion ($500 billion).
However, at time of writing, he’s had a significant fall from grace since that staggering figure.
Mr Musk, 51, now has a fortune of $US137 billion ($201 billion), which means he’s lost than half of his peak wealth.

After Meloni’s “Peace can be achieved by supporting Ukraine
is she about to go full Aspen Institue?
Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni has announced that the new security decree to regulate the activities of migrant taxi NGOs will not come into force until early next year, as over 100,000 migrants have entered illegally this year.
While the decree will regulate the activities of migrant taxi NGOs, it also looks to promote deportations and simplify asylum applications. According to Meloni, the delay is because she wants to personally take the time to go over the document and assess it herself, Il Giornale reports.

Scotland Police Face Backlash After Report Renaming Pedophiles as ‘Minor-Attracted People’
The Scottish police have been chastised for a report that uses the term “Minor-Attracted People” instead of using pedophiles, raising concerns that it would normalize child abuse.
In the year-end report by Chief Constable Iain Livingstone on child abuse and exploitation, he stated, “The project’s main agenda is to develop understanding and approach to avoid the victimization of children by engaging Minor-Attracted People (MAPs) and providing them with the necessary support, treatment and guidance to help prevent criminal activities.”
The police defended its action by claiming that the wording used in the annual report was modeled after European Union’s terminology.
A spokesperson for the department stated that the word “MAPs” is not one they use to characterize child abusers and that its use in the report has to be understood in context, Scottish Daily Express reported.
It was a High School, there weren’t any “young girls” there.

It was a High School, there weren’t any “young girls” there.
Richard Cranium thinks that 13, 14, 15, 16 year old girls are not “young”. Is there something you want to tell us you Dick Head?
Rosie says -“Meanwhile thousands and thousands of new immigrants are flocking here.”
That is the BIG problem, most are not much more than welfare seekers, but allowing that all of them are talented, hard workers, it’s still bad for us. London is now a minority city for native Englanders, Sydney it seems isn’t far away and neither is Melbourne. Both Sydney and Melbourne once had distinctive cultures and ways of life, now well on the path to extinction. A couple of years ago I had regularly fly to Sydney and catch trains to different suburbs, it struck me that at many stations, all or most of the surrounding shops had signs mainly in Chinese and the faces on the platforms were mainly Chinese.
Huge parts of Melbourne outer suburbs are now Indian, Chinese or African. The multiculturalists may get a hard on for this but it had drowned out Aussie culture. There’s little or no assimilation. Mass migration is destroying our culture as I write and yet the pollies want even more. I cannot understand why we, like the poms are happy to sit back and see our culture that developed over a long time be washed from the earth in the name of ponzi housing and GDP.
Kneel – “It is also one of the values of traditional Australian culture – that no matter if you are the king or a pauper, that no matter your social or financial standing, you are allowed to find amusement in your perceived folly of others, and that those others are not just allowed, but expected – even encouraged! – to give back as good as they get.

You’re living in the past, nobody is allowed to make fun of or jest over another cultures strange and often unpleasant ways anymore. The only culture that is allowed to be ridiculed and attacked is the culture that built this country and made it a great place to live and prosper. The elites want to crush us and think they can destroy Aussie culture and the country will continue to be a great place. They’re wrong, we will end up an economic basket case, a place full of serfs living on gov handouts from a fascist govs that tie themselves to big business and big unions. I think the process is too far advanced to unwind.
2022, Perhaps the Apex Year for an Era of Pretending
December 31, 2022 – sundance
If 2022 was not the apex year for the era of great pretending, then we remain sitting in a handbasket – destination, full speed ahead.
When asked for the topic of a ‘big picture‘ podcast this 2022-year ending, the obvious answer from me was We Need to Quit Pretending.
For the past two years I can only encapsulate the entire social, political and socioeconomic dynamic that surrounds us by saying we are living in an era of great pretending. Why? Because nothing else adequately explains it.
A recession is no longer two negative quarters of economic growth. Elections are no longer defined by votes cast, but by ballots counted. Meanwhile, women are claimed to have penises and people will argue -strenuously and with commitment- that men can give birth to babies.
Simultaneously, vaccines are no longer about medicines to avoid viruses, and Americans have some moral obligation to fund the administrative salaries, pensions and expense accounts for a nation of European politicians, in a country that few taxpayers could find on a map.
We must pretend the occupant of the oval office is not a dementia patient, at the same time we must pretend the Dept of Homeland Security and FBI is not telling online speech platforms that identifying the dementia patient, as a dementia patient, means you are a domestic violent extremist. The absurdity of the pretenses are off-the-charts.
However, on the upside, we now see even blissfully ignorant people starting to realize something is wrong when their electricity and heating bills quadruple, while the same system of governmental caretakers are telling us to embrace a new earth friendly normal of $12 dollar eggs.
We been knew, but more are now knowing – thank God.
I see that dynamic starting to play out now. Mainstream media are openly mocked everywhere for being the Baghdad Bob’s they are. The MSM credibility and influence essentially destroyed by the Potemkin villages and Eco-chambers they built around themselves.
The congressional J6 committee is yet another example of a proclaimed thermonuclear ICBM missile that ended up delivering a contrasting reality. The fading whistle & pop akin to a dysfunctional bottle rocket.
There’s no help on this pretending issue coming from the political side of the American spectrum; sneeze that thought into a tissue and flush it.
The big movement that will end this era will come from ordinary people laughing, mocking and belittling the pretenders.
I do genuinely believe this phase is well underway, albeit we are in the beginning phases of the great mocking.

Idaho Murder Suspect Bryan Kohberger Identified, in Part, by DNA Search of Public Genetic Genealogy Database
December 31, 2022 – sundance
This is interesting. The use of public genetic genealogy databases by law enforcement officials has been discussed for several years now.
According to information within a CNN article about the capture of Idaho murder suspect Bryan Kohberger, it appears this might be the most recent case solved -at least in part- through the use of those public DNA databases.
Previously the Golden State Killer was identified through the use of DNA using a public genealogy database. According to the CNN article it appears a similar process was used in the identification of Kohberger:
Many who understand the scope of data and privacy exploitation have often wondered and warned if it was smart for people to be voluntarily giving their DNA to various genealogical tracing companies.
When Blackstone purchased Ancestry.Com the world’s largest public DNA database, there were several questions raised again about the possible misuse and privacy issues. At the time, here’s how Ancestry responded:
…”Ancestry does not sell or share customer DNA data with insurers, employers or third-party marketers, nor do we share customer personal information with law enforcement unless compelled to by a valid legal process. Ancestry’s commitment to these robust consumer privacy and data protections remain unchanged under our new ownership”…
Obviously, the key phrase in that statement is “unless compelled by a valid legal process.” An unknown DNA sample at such a horrific and nationally newsworthy crime scene, could certainly lead to law enforcement compelling that type of database search.
For the issue of catching the psychopathic criminal who killed the four college students, you won’t find too many people concerned about the methods the investigative units conducted.
However, in the bigger picture of having a national DNA registry available for cross-reference use in other non-criminal matters, there are still some privacy issues to consider.

If you are stupid enough to believe that this occurred in only one school, then your head really is stuck in your rectum.
PS, you forgot to comment on the Tasmanian Royal Commission.
BJ, I’ve been thinking that. They woke seem to value culture and skin colour above all else. We indigenous Aussies with European background have a distinctive culture and way of looking at the world, particularly those from rural areas. We need to claim that culture and demand that it and our way of life justly deserves as much support and protection as any other culture. Governments are happy to splurge $ on people form some barbaric cultures, why not support and nurture the culture that was developed from the First Fleet up to the end of the last century?
Question, which Gov, spoke of ‘White picket fences’ etc and yet was elected in the 90’s, governed through to 2007 and instituted the mass migration and destruction of our own culture?

Thanks Robert – Great Article – I liked conclusion especially the PigPen analogy
Rousseau was determined to prove the nonexistence of polywater, and to make his point he went to the gym, where he believed he could get to the source of the impurities. After an intense game of handball Rousseau wrung out the perspiration from his T-shirt and put a sample of it into his spectrometer. The machine spat out the chemical spectrum, which matched that of an earlier sample of polywater. In January 1971 Science published a paper with Rousseau’s findings.
In it he wrote that each person, like the Peanuts character Pigpen, is surrounded by a fog containing a fine mist of that person’s essence. This mist, or aerosol, when it landed on the inside of a glass tube containing a microscopic amount of water, created the fluid with the odd behavior. Polywater turned out to be 1% inspiration and 99% perspiration.
Put another way, polywater was merely dirty water.
Finally polywater’s adherents lost their faith. Scientists got back to work left undone while polywater had consumed them along with millions of research dollars. It was all water under the bridge now.
Two years later even the stubborn Deryagin conceded. “These experiments do not support the hypothesis of anomalous or polymeric water,” he said.

For three years, the young attorney had been taking his vacations at this country inn. The previous year he’d finally managed to close the deal with the innkeeper’s daughter.
Looking forward to an exciting few days, he dragged his suitcase up the stairs of the inn, then stopped short. There sat his lover with an infant on her lap!

Pogria re snake repellantsetc:
Years ago we regularly had snakes (as many as 6 a summer) entering are house grounds and gardens. We weren’t too concerned about the black snakes which are timid, but we pretty concerned about the Eastern Browns. We experimented with the vibration devices – but they didn’t repel the snakes.
After searching the internet for advice, we decided to embark on the onerous job of fixing black bird netting around the perimeter house fence. The latter can be purchased at Mitre 10, but unfortunately comes in large squares. Consequently, we had to cut it (horrible job!) to a height of about 20cm. We fixed the netting to the fence with plastic ties.
It was a complete & utter success and has been for years. Snakes attempt to push through & become stuck and they cannot reverse. Consequently we either find them & dispose of them (by a certain means) or we find them dead in the net.
This technique was a huge relief for a young country family we know who had lost 5 “sacrificial” Jack Russell terriers who are notoriously crazy brave in attacking snakes, which at least saved the toddlers they were protecting in the yard. They have not lost a dog in the house grounds since they installed the netting.
When to fire his missiles at Engels. And no doubt Bidens wants the war to continue. His and Hunter’s Ukraine interests need all the protection they can get.
Beyond that it’s a guess. But as inflation, COL, energy costs, winter energy restrictions , job insecurity and more pressures grow and weigh on the west I get the impression the love for Ukraine is turning sour. Now Z wants UN sponsored peace talks. I bet he does. He wants to get to spend those millions he’s squirreled away.
The Twitter Files have shown how deep the Dem corrupted DoJ/FBI/CIA are inside mass media. My impression is sentiment is swinging away from unconditional Ukr support. Towards “let’s end this fkn mess , asap”.

Attack of the Megalomaniacal News Media
The mainstream news media have mutated from providing useful information into multi-biased, overbearing, omnipresent purveyors of false, useless information that is critical for them to report and useless for us to receive. This must stop.
In the past, the metaphorical 100 pounds of available fact-based news (as opposed to opinion pieces) was reported through news distribution with a roughly 100-pound news distribution capacity. That is, there was relative equilibrium between “what news you needed to hear” and “what news was reported.” The components of this historical news distribution were:
So, you probably received less than five hours or less of news daily, and that’s if you watched it all. More importantly, few people seemed to be “news starved.”
Journalists practiced journalism. They vetted information and corrected mistakes with full intent to inform. Was there media bias? Some. Were there reporting mistakes? Some.
For a deeper dive into how news delivery in America has changed, this article is helpful.
So, what happened from then till now?
Maybe Alvin Toffler nailed it in his 1970 book Future Shock:
People of the future may suffer not from an absence of choice but from a paralyzing surfeit of it. They may turn out to be victims of that peculiarly super-industrial dilemma: over choice.
Now, in addition to the five hours of news per day we used to have, we have the following additional “over choices”:
24-hour cable news services (MSNBC, CNN, Fox, Newsmax, BBC, etc.).
Endless online news sites.
Social media sites that purvey news.
So, using basic economic theory, we can figure out the value of today’s news with a simple calculation: Price (value) = Demand/Supply
When news supply grows exponentially, the value (price) of news plummets as demand has remained much more stagnate. And the real news becomes harder to identify amidst the content that fills the enlarged news supply capacity.
So that leaves us metaphorically having likely the same 100 pounds of news (even if legitimate news has doubled to two hundred pounds) but with 1,000 pounds or more of news distribution capability. So then, how do the excess 800-900 pounds or more of news distribution get occupied? With distortions. Let us count some of these distortions:

The “houso” estate I live in is a perfect example of this .. a hodge podge of nationalities many who’ve hated each other for centuries .. the only time you see anyone talk to some else you can guarantee they are from the same country .. their is no community spirit/pride/neighbourness just lotza folk who don’t like each other.
I’ve been here for 30 years and for the past 15 the only English 1st language speaker (parent) in the street .. I haven’t spoken to other occupants in most of that time as most have never bothered to learn any English .. no need as they’ve never worked! .. the gummints, state, federal or local print everything in 300 languages and include telephone numbers for “free” interpreters/do good groups and these days even most CentreLink contact is able to be done from home .. life is good! …
Good afternoon all – hope revelry recovery was swift this morning – these last 10 days have been challenging to say the least, enough said, no details lest boredom set in so early this year.

“try running the server without a screen attached and getting it to display a remote desktop in any sensible resolution.”
Most of the “pizza box” (rack mount) servers have IPMI for that – it even gives you remote access to POST screen and BIOS setup like virtualised servers. If you have IP controlled power rail and PXE server, you don’t need to be physically present to do anything that doesn’t require adding/removing/changing physical hardware (new HDD, new RAM etc) – including being able to DoD wipe the HDD and install new OS remotely.
If it doesn’t have IPMI direct on the motherboard, you can also get PCI and (m)PCIe cards that do IPMI. As far as I know, they either “look like” or “interface to” standard Intel etc graphics controllers, and I’ve used them at 1024×768 resolution (probably work at 1920×1080 these days). It really does look like a virtualised server, even though it is dedicated hardware.
Of course, you need a separate network connection and IP for IPMI to work, and plenty of bandwidth for responsiveness to be OK at the higher resolutions.
And yeah, they want the SCSI variant of the HDDs (“Serial attached SCSI”, SaS) rather than SATA(II/III), but that’s a physical connector thing more than anything – it’s one big connector instead of separate power and data connectors. IIRC, there is little to no difference in hardware levels, control lines etc, and also very little if any difference in interface protocol – I think it just makes “hot swap” a lot easier, especially in things like multi bay servers where you can change HDDs from the front panel.

Put a hard boiled egg in with the chooks, and when the snake tries to get through the netting, they’re stuck. They can’t crush the egg to get out. Or mark a fresh egg, using syringe and drawing up needle, remove the yolk. Inject whatever liquid poison you’ve got in the garage into the yolk sac – the sac will keep the poison from escaping and being detected through the shell for long enough to let the snake eat it.

Now Z wants UN sponsored peace talks
This whole business is odd. Formerly, the initial reaction to a conflict was the UN calling for peace talks. After a while a conference would eb convened. Then, finally, an agreement would eb made, putting in place a UN Peacekeeping force between the combatants. The next stage would be a UN-sponsored and supervised plebiscite, to decide the future of the disputed area, followed by partition and a permanent UN Supervisory force.

* at least 2 teachers have been named
* six former students have indicated a willingness to sue the Dept of Ed for historical sexual abuse.
* as “The Teachers Pet” showed, many teachers on the Northern Beaches groomed young girls then pounced as soon as they turned 16.
But lie as much as you like Ed, you will be run over by the steamroller of truth.

Nope, Robert. They don’t seem to try to go under the netting – which, in any case, we tuck under the lower strand of wire. They really try to push through, and that is their undoing.
Incidentally, I hope I am not inviting disaster, but we haven’t either seen or caught a snake this year or, from memory, the last two years. Maybe we have decimated the population, because, no kidding, we used to see half a dozen each spring/summer around the farm or caught in the netting.

If Elon can keep Twitter alive long enough to expose the parasites, he may consider it a worthwhile spend. Awesome if true – one can hope.

The personal correspondence is owned by Google more or less. Lots of this is tied together by mobile phone usage which would be Apple and Google again.

Vicki,
thanks for the advice regarding snakes in the yard. I have been planning on adding mesh to the lower parts of the fence. I have fine wire bird mesh, left over from the previous owner, and the netting that was raised over the berry beds every summer. The netting is the same as the stuff I used to place over the fruit trees in the orchard I had in my previous home. (still miss my orchard, sniff). Snakes used to get caught in the netting regularly. I was quite happy when I would find a dead snake tangled in the netting. 🙂
I will probably go with the netting. There are a couple of hundred metres of it so plenty to practise with. Also easy to attach with cable ties. Will have to be extra careful that a Joe Blake or two aren’t hiding under the netting in the shed when I go to drag it out!

And don‘t get me wrong. Happens here too.
Yes, Calli. Although it didn’t happen to us in our rural valley during Covid lockdowns, it did happen to friends who have a holiday house on the NSW South Coast. A local who obviously knew they were from Sydney roared past one morning in his ute, screaming that they should go back to Sydney. A day later they received a visit from the local constabulary. They told him, truthfully, that they had owned the house for forty years and were more “local” than their informant.

“Information is not knowledge. The only source of knowledge is experience. You need experience to gain wisdom.”
I believe Schwab have have looked at our model and what he is trying to do is he sees the real Great Reset which is 2032 and he is trying to force the tree to fall in his direction of total control.
Yeah right. He looked at a secret model and got results from it.

How is that an example that a slippery slope re gender isn’t real? We have multiple examples across multiple jurisdictions and a single minor example is supposed to undermine the entire claim? I don’t think so. Especially when you read the Federal Council’s argument for rejecting the Parliamentary proposal:
That isn’t a strong in-principle rejection of the claim but a wait and see until we are a little further down the slope. Exactly like the LNP was re gay ‘marriage’.
First off , calling me by what you think is my name is an attempt at doxing, Angry Karen. I’m reporting it and we’ll see what happens.
And yes, two years of viciously attacking an 80 year old woman is relevant especially after it was me that stopped you and the others piling onto to her. You behaved like the vicious little jackal you’ve always been and the reason you’re so inflamed against me is because I stopped you and others from piling onto her.

All the snakes are located in the Federal Guv’ment Building and the State Guv’ment Houses and Territory Buildings. Send in the Mongooses and set us free from these leeches.
I suspect Groogs is living on Mother’s pension in the South Australian style. Hence the need to keep up the maintenance work.

First off , calling me by what you think is my name is an attempt at doxing, Angry Karen. I’m reporting it and we’ll see what happens.
How can you report it as there is no longer a report button. Twat. Unless of course you have a hot line to Dover. You really do think that you own this Shite. Well you don’t. So just go away and play in the Traffic.
I think one of JC’s most remarkable attributes is his personal insight into his own personal motivations.
It’s the way he’s so in-touch with himself all the time
now, I know that statement could be mis-read as me saying that he’s wanking all the time
but really … is he?
The Hotline to Dover is via Protonmail. Anyone can use it.
A bit of self control is better though – the guy has a life to lead apart from channelling Jack Little. That said, here’s a trip down Memory Lane.

How is it not an example? Try and explain it in direct language that we can understand instead of philosophy speak. 🙂
The theory of the slippery slope is the chain reaction argument in that one bad thing leads to another related bad thing.
If the Attkisson tweet is accurate then the Swiss parliament has stopped the bullshit. Are you suggesting she’s lying or misunderstood the action in the Swiss parliament? What are you suggesting here?
Okay. Which of you guys is Playboy Larry Hart?

I feel sorry for you if you cannot understand what a sham Armstrong’s “models” are, they are a bad joke. They have NO predictive value whatsoever.
I can tell you his models are bogus; for example does he model equities without considering derivatives? Yes, he thinks every commodity class has its own cycle.
This is absolute trash. You cannot properly price equities without having a knowledge of the relevant derivatives.
You need to ask him when he met Paul Keating, what date this happened and so on. As a subscriber, you probably have his business email.
My criticism of Armstrong is not borne out of jealousy. It come from the kindness of my heart. He is a shameless, ignorant grifter with a history of ripping people off. Not for small amounts of money either. Billions with a “B”!
He is very likely lying about meeting Keating.
His economic commentary is riddled with basic errors and ignorance.
His drawing on economic history is blatantly incorrect and easily debunked.
His comments on geopolitics are chicken little screeching based on ignorance of the true extent of US military technical capabilities.
You are being misled.
He has merely latched onto the sentiments of pisses off conservatives.
Just go read the von Mises institute stuff and watch Tucker if you’re sick of legacy media nonsense.

To say nothing of the Elder’s Lighthouse of Tarcoola. One of the seven wonders of the pre-Ancient world it was.
It’s simple. That didn’t deny any third gender in principle, they responded by delaying any change until the ‘social preconditions’ appeared. What that is is anyone’s guess, but it seems to me, being politicians, it means delaying until its politically irresistible.
No, that isn’t what is meant by a slippery slope. The initial change doesn’t need to be bad, what is meant is that it a change, good, bad, indifferent, can bring in train a series of further changes that lead to something we would think is bad now. Nor does it involve a ‘chain reaction’, its sufficient that the series of feared changes becomes more likely given the first.
They haven’t stopped anything. As I said above, all they did is knock back the current proposal, itself generated within the Swiss Parliament, without providing any in-principle objection to a third gender while mumbling about the ‘necessary social preconditions’ not being just yet. And this doesn’t even address the other ‘sex-affirming surgeries’ they allow and have made easier to procure. Again, this reminds me exactly of the LNP in the late 2000s re gay ‘marriage’ which is indicative of a clear and present slippery slope.
Have you guys actually read Gammage?
Good lord, there were tree lined streets, pastures and monuments.
Chariots of the Gods read critically is better than Gammage!
Rottenhead , you think we’re just attacking you for the sake of it over Armstronging the site, but what Dot is saying is 100% correct about the crooked loon. He’s taking you and others for a ride. Posting his scrawl here doesn’t make us angry, we’re just sad you think he has some value. He has none. Ask him for the lowdown of his so-called models.

Oh yes, you did, you disgusting pile of maggot-ridden refuse, so cease with the denial. It was the kindness of another contributor who drew your attention to your doxxing by your own hand. You are on the same level as a fly-blown stinking pile of road kill. The stench is sickening. Go bite some tyres, little road-raging mutt.

you’ve lost the plot
Critical reviews of the Catallaxy book store:

Lose some weight.
That is all.
Then why not wait until what seems to you becomes clearer instead of what looks like mind reading.
They’ve voted no according to Attkisson so what ponder forward until it’s clear? You have nothing to go by to make such a suggestion.
Of course a slippery slope is a chain reaction where one action or event causes another. That’s the very definition of a slippery slope.
Remember how Marty Armstrong reckoned it too 600 years after Rome for gold specie to be used once more in Europe?

The fact is, Angry Karen, you went after an 80 year old woman for two plus years and you were stopped by me out of embarrassment, you grudge holding little neuter. Try is again and see how far it gets you. We know you want to. The white robe bullshit is laughable as you have no moral authority to be talking about anyone’s stoushes, you little zero
Lol. Too many adjectives again. Go away now and fester over what I’ve nicely explained to you. You’re exceedingly boring.

Snakes are a protected species in Australia. I would never dream of deliberately killing one. 😉 hahahaha
Rickw,
as a country boy, you would remember the outside dunny. Your parents probably still have one. Every outside dunny was equipped with a metal rake and a shovel. When townies would come for a visit, they would always ask what the garden implements were for. Watching them go green when you explained the rake was for holding down the snake so you could hack off its head with the shovel was always a hoot.
I reckon a lot of guests went home backed up to their kidneys!
Kiwis were especially fun as there are no snakes in UnZud.

some years back, the Government of Botswana rounded up all the Bushmen and tried an American style of settling them on a reservation of their own. The Bushmen were in the way because Diamonds had been discovered on their traditional lands.

Revisiting The Rationale For Pouring Money Into Ukraine
The Rationale For War
There’s a purported rationale for the enormous amount of money the U.S. is spending in Ukraine; namely, that it’s a bargain:
“US spending of 5.6% of its defense budget to destroy nearly half of Russia’s conventional military capability seems like an absolutely incredible investment.”
Here are five reasons why this rationale is stupid and wrong.
1) It’s a Lot of Money
The ~$100 billion we’re spending on the Ukraine is 164% of Russia’s annual defense budget and nearly 9x the cost of a border wall that would actually protect America.*
2) Not An Offensive Threat To Us
Russia’s military may be formidable in defense, but Russia’s conventional military poses no offensive threat to us, as evinced by their struggle to project force next door in the Ukraine.
4) We’re Not Destroying The Russian Military
We aren’t destroying “nearly half of Russia’s conventional military capability” because they have their own arms industry and can build more of any equipment that’s destroyed. Their UralVagonZavod company, for example, is the world’s leading tank manufacturer.
5) Weaking Russia Doesn’t Help Us
Finally, if we did manage to severely weaken Russia, how would that help us? How would causing regime change or civil war in the country with the world’s largest nuclear arsenal make us safer?
3) Russia Isn’t Our Enemy
Russia is not our enemy, despite our years-long efforts to make them one. Unlike the communist Soviet Union, Russia doesn’t seek to spread any ideology. Vladimir Putin was the first foreign leader to offer the U.S. assistance on 9/11, and we welcomed Russia as a non-Middle Eastern source of energy in the aughts.
