Pro bono; you fu.king moron. Really crotchless, even by your meagre trolling standards that is pathetic. One might say pro bono standard.

Lying to the police when you are the complainant is a big deal.

She told them she bought the Morning After Pill, but the Cops couldn’t find any proof of that after a desultory search, so she lied?

Look, the Cops didn’t want to prosecute, so they weren’t trying real hard.

Tinta – I was thinking that, albeit from a different direction. My gut feel was a mix of aspergers spectrum and ADHD. The former is more common in boys (and is fashionable), while a lot of the latter is basically boys being boisterous boys, and not meek girls. Unfortunately the current clique in schools can’t cope with boys being boys, so it becomes a “medical” issue. Of course not having a father to help the boys be boys is likely a large contribution to the supposed problem.

Relatives had gathered in the hospital waiting room, where their family member lay gravely ill. Finally, the doctor came in looking tired and sombre.

“I’m afraid I am the bearer of bad news” he said as he surveyed the worried faces “The only hope left for your loved one at this time is a brain transplant. It’s an experimental procedure, semi-risky, and you will have to pay for the brain yourselves”.

The family members sat silent as they absorbed the news.

After a length of time, someone asked “Well, how much does a brain cost?” The Doctor quickly responded “$5000 for a male brain, and $200 for a female brain”.

The moment turned awkward. Men in the room tried not to smile, avoiding eye contact with the women, but some actually smirked. A man, unable to control his curiosity, blurted out the question everyone wanted to ask “Why is the male brain so much more?”

The doctor smiled at the childish innocence and then to the entire group said “It’s just standard pricing procedure. We have to mark down the price of the female brains, because they’ve been used”.

The German investigative authorities have apparently made a breakthrough in solving the attack on the Nord Stream 1 and 2 pipelines. After joint research by the ARD capital studio, the ARD political magazine Kontraste , SWR and ZEIT, it was possible to largely reconstruct how and when the explosive attack was prepared in the course of the investigation. Accordingly, traces lead in the direction of Ukraine.”

They show that after colleagues called Arizona in favor of Joe Biden, Tucker Carlson wrote to Sean Hannity and Laura Ingraham, saying “We devote our lives to building an audience and they let Chris Wallace and Leland Vittert wreck it.”

Sadly, Tucker didn’t help his cause by going along with the steal on the night. I’ve lost trust in him due to that – either he couldn’t see the steal, which was obvious, or he could, and kept schtum.

Hmm who to believe.
A skin suit wearing vault dweller who knows as much about the Higgins rape trial as he does about the sinking of the Sydney by the WHIIITE SUUUB or the Police Manager of Criminal Investigations in charge of the cases own admissions?

The newspaper quoted evidence from an executive briefing last year, where the ACT Police Manager of Criminal Investigations, Detective Superintendent Scott Moller advised that investigators ‘have serious concerns in relation to the strength and reliability of [Ms Higgins’] evidence but also, more importantly, her mental health and how any future prosecution may affect her wellbeing’.
https://12ft.io/proxy?q=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.spectator.com.au%2F2022%2F12%2Fbrittany-higgins-case-finally-over%2F

The article mentions that the executive briefing listed a series of concerns mentioned by senior police, including that Ms Higgins had repeatedly refused to provide her original mobile phone; had deliberately deleted messages from a second phone; and had allegedly lied about seeking medical attention after the incident.

Ukrainian Military Dissent Against Zelensky

“Our sources in Ukraine, not Russia, are warning of serious dissent building against Zelensky. He is a high-heel actor who has been playing a confidence game. He is by no means a military leader and the Ukrainian Military is at its ends with him. The Ukrainian General Valery Zaluzhny, is having a serious conflict with Zelensky. Even others have come out and commented to the German newspaper, the Bild, that the General called for a withdrawal from the Donbas city weeks ago, but Zelensky orders his men to die all for his endless PR campaign to pretend that Ukraine is winning.

The General told Zelensky to withdraw from Bakhmut. But Zelensky pretends for PR that it is a fortress despite the fact that it has been cut off and completely;y surrounded with only one road available for possible evacuation and Zelensky refuses to withdraw. Even the Biden Administration has been urging Zelensky to pull out and focus on preparing a major counteroffensive for the spring. Yet, Zelensky fears admitting publicly a defeat that would hurt the billions flowing into Ukraine. This was part of the Ukrainian defense line that they created when Kiev began its invasion of the Donbas in 2014 on their claimed Anti-Terrorist offensive to kill all Russians and deny them any right to separate seeking their independence in the 2014 Revolution.

Even those speaking to the Bild expressed deep concern that they “do not understand why the city is being held” and believe they should have withdrawn a long time ago. Zelensky proclaims that his Ukrainian forces would defend Bakhmut as long as it “remains reasonable” to do so.

Our sources are clearly saying that Zelensky is losing support and if anyone will becomes the next President it will be General Zaluzhny.”

And this was a comment under the Steve Kirsch dementia link above. I’m quoting it in full. There was mention earlier about the Perth Mint fiddling with gold content but this seems to be much bigger than that.

Steve and readers, there is an extremely big story breaking in Australia right now that has yet to reach American shores.

The only government-backed mint in the world (the Perth Mint in Western Australia) has been (among other things): laundering money, doping gold, cheating the CCP, not recording overseas transactions for 10-15 years, providing anonymity to international clients, and funnelling money through Cyprus and Puerto Rico for Russian oligarchs in violation of sanctions. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ko_ZmxGBaB4 https://www.abc.net.au/news/2023-03-06/perth-mint-gold-doping-china-cover-up-four-corners/102048622

This is a big deal because the BRICS countries heavily rely on Australian gold for trading.

A convenient place to launder V kickbacks don’t you think? The Australian government keeps ‘buying’ hundreds of millions of vaccine doses and no one knows where they are going. The contracts are confidential. https://vicparkpetition.substack.com/p/australias-vaccine-contracts-a-paper

It’s not the gold doping…not really. It’s the money laundering and anonymous transactions.

The person in charge of the mint, Premier McGowan of Western Australia, says he doesn’t know anything about what is happening despite being directly responsible for years and multiple internal investigations. He mandated hard on us and is now performing a sham ‘covid response investigation’ https://vicparkpetition.substack.com/p/genocide-denial-now-occurring-in

Just thought you guys should know given Steve is really focussed on Australia. Thank you all.

Finished “1916 Battle of the 5 Empires” by Benoit Chenu

A good read, english translation has a few fudged words but other wise vey readable.

Depressing to think the war could have ended in 1916 with an allied victory but for a series of really, really poor decisions, military and political.
Probably the worst being to halt after smashing through the German lines when pretty well all signs were the boxheads were in disarray.
Cavalry units were held back when this was probably their one huge shining moment to have wreaked havoc among a disorganized and defenseless enemy. (as in no prepared defenses to latch onto).

Backed by the abysmal political decisions that should have seen Bulgaria enter the war on the Allies side but for the dickheadedness of the French premier.
This would have caught Austria Hungary between Bulgaria, 100,000 allied expeditionary forces and the rampant Brusilov offensive.
And given the allies a way of supplying Russia with supplies it lacked through a friendly port.

I need to take this excellent advice.

Things have changed Calli.

Why are we so scared of clowns? Here’s what we’ve discovered (MedicalXpress, 6 Mar)

“Are you scared of clowns? You are not alone. Coulrophobia, or the fear of clowns, is a widely acknowledged phenomenon. Studies indicate this fear is present among both adults and children in many different cultures. Yet it is not well understood due to a lack of focused research.

While numerous possible explanations of the phobia had been put forward in academic literature, no studies had specifically investigated its origins.

The Fear of Clowns Questionnaire was completed by an international sample of 987 people aged between 18 and 77.

More than half the respondents (53.5%) said they were scared of clowns at least to some degree, with 5% saying they were “extremely afraid” of them. Interestingly, this percentage reporting an extreme fear of clowns is slightly higher than those reported for many other phobias, such as animals (3.8%), blood/injection/injuries (3.0%), heights (2.8%), still water or weather events (2.3%), closed spaces (2.2%), and flying (1.3%).

We also found that women are more afraid of clowns than men. The reason for this difference is not clear, but it echoes research findings on other phobias such as the fear of snakes and spiders.”

I think the scary clowns thing is like the mad scientist thing. A protomeme that has built up in popular culture over decades, helped I think by Hollywood especially. But now clowns are widely regarded as scary. Cultural changes like this are interesting.

The complainant did everything possible to hide the actual truth of what happened on that night. Then, when presented with a better offer for financial gain and told stories of the pivotal role she might play in elections she decided to make a complaint. Though, only after making all preparations for a full media campaign.

The police would have been happy to boost the stats of convicted cases for rape, but not on this lying, deceitful complainant whose media activity made the whole prosecution impossible anyways.

I do hope it all comes out in the enquiry and perhaps the defamation case. There are some Labor senior Pols as guilty as the media stars regarding this fake nonsense and also the Kitching bullying.

Probably because the Armenians have been playing both sides.

No Dover. It was because the Russians are balls deep in Ukraine and couldn’t afford the forces to teach the Azeris a lesson. Sorry mate, but betraying a formal defensive alliance is not to be swept under a convenient carpet.

I do know the Armenians aren’t particularly happy with Mr Putin, not that they can do anything about it. On the other hand if this current war keeps going the situation in the Caucasus may come unravelled. Russia has kept it in check since 1989, but if they’re not in a position to exert power then all the little potentates will try it on – including places like Dagestan, Ingushetia and Chechnya. Mr Kadyrov doesn’t have many days left, from recent reports. He looks like a tomato.

Whybrow suggested to Higgins that she had wrongly told police during an interview on 1 April 2019 that she had already been to see a doctor after her alleged rape, and was awaiting test results.

Higgins said she had made plans to see a doctor, but had failed to follow through.

“I wasn’t perfect,” she said.

The court also heard that police notes from an interview two years later, conducted after she decided to reinstate her complaint, recorded her telling detectives she had been to a medical centre in Kingston, Canberra, two weeks after the alleged rape.

Armenia and Iran are very close.

Cassie – Armenia is a Christian country. If they are close to Shi’a Iran it’s only because they’re deadly enemies with Sunni Azerbaijan.

The politics are complex as you know. Israel has managed to get close to the Azeris, which I don’t blame them for doing since the Iranians are existential enemies of Israel. But sometimes friends can be less than friendly, and I sense recently a distancing of the relationship. Made even more complex by the Azeri-Turkish alliance – Turkey being very much in a love-hate relationship with Israel.

On the other hand if diplomacy and politics in the Middle East were easy it wouldn’t be the source of so many Nobel Peace Prizes.

The point I intended to make is that the Azeris attacked Christian Armenia, who had a formal defensive alliance with Russia. Russia failed to support Armenia, not surprisingly since they were stretched. Turkey of course hates Armenia, so no surprise they supported the Azeris. All of this pretty much illustrates that the whole region is a festering hole of untrustworthy used camel salesmen, except Armenia, Georgia and Israel.

Higgins made an admission to the AFP that she had indeed lied.

As quoted before, from the Bettina Ardnt article:

“” Central to this issue is the Moller report – Detective Superintendent Scott Moller was the guy in charge of the AFP investigation.

After a four-month investigation of evidence presented by Higgins, with police travelling across the country to check facts in her story, examining 32,736 phone messages and 173,531 media files from Higgins’ phone, Moller concluded that “throughout the investigation, Ms Higgins has been evasive, uncooperative and manipulative.”

The report cites: Her repeated refusal to hand over her phone. When she finally did, she had deleted key evidence: “I’m clearing out my phone ahead of police,” she acknowledged.

Her claim to have sought medical attention and the morning-after pill after the incident. The police travelled to Perth and Brisbane and found she’d misled them about the medical assistance. She later admitted she’d lied about this. “”

Hzhousewife, we are so lucky that Daughter, Son in Law and their family have invited us to come and live with them. It’s a regeneration for us, hearing again the ‘trials and tribulations’ of our young grandies; watching them grow as we did our children 40 years ago. I keep thinking,”Everything old is new again.”

Except that youngsters today face more sinister influences than we ever did. And with social media, they are far more intricately judged for their words and actions than we ever were. I think it makes us – parents and grandparents – more important than ever before, offering comfort and guidance to help them through these tricky times.

Seems Jim “Boofhead” Chalmers is about to attack imputation credits.

A bit of hyper-bowl based on what has been released so far.
Franking credits on the dividend component of off-market buybacks are gone.
And paying franked dividends after a capital raising are out too.
But credits on regular dividends paid in the normal course of business out of recurrent profits are fine.
At least for now.

1. You said that Azerbajan is mainly Sunni. Wrong, it is not, it is mainly Shia.

No Cassie. Here is exactly what I wrote:

Cassie – Armenia is a Christian country. If they are close to Shi’a Iran it’s only because they’re deadly enemies with Sunni Azerbaijan

I have given you a link to the effect that the Azeri leadership are aligned to the Sunnis. I also clarified my comment within a few minutes. Therefore what I said is quite true.

2. You said that the Azerbajani regime is “Sunni”. Wrong, it is not, it is a secular regime. The president and most of his government are secular but they come from a Shia background.

I have given you a link to an article on that topic. Also it is well known that the Azeris are allied with Turkey, and the Turks substantially assisted them in the recent war against the Christian Armenians. I gave you a link to the effect that Erdogan is Sunnifying Turkey, which he’s been doing for a long time now. That hasn’t been good for Alevis or Christians.

So what if Azerbajan is aligning itself with Erdogan, Iran allies itself with Sunni Hamas.

So what indeed? Maybe you should read that sentence again. After all Hamas and Iran are deadly enemies of Israel. Turkey is pretty antagonistic too, if you’ve been reading the news, although Erdogan does run hot and cold. I wouldn’t trust the Azeris as far as I could throw one if I was Netanyahu, but then a fair weather friend is still worth the effort of cultivating in such a neighbourhood.

I hope you can see that I do know a little of the field. I have been reading about the politics of the Middle East for forty years, it’s fascinating and messy.

The 900,000 + people who left Russia are most likely military age men. Those who left Ukraine are predominantly women and children.

As for the tank losses claimed by Ukraine, I can’t do any better than Oryx which was mocked here, but there was never a good argument made about why they were inaccurate, despite using geolocation methods. The argument against Oryx is handwaving and a chuckle.

If the claimed losses are way off – this goes back to the questions which seem to strike a nerve:

Why couldn’t they finish the initial invasion?
Why can’t they mass forces now or break through Ukrainian lines?

Those equipment losses seem to line up at least roughly with claimed manpower losses if infantry is added to the mix.

It’s no secret that PH Security had several meetings that morning, trying to make a decision on what to do about an unconscious naked woman in Minister Reynolds Office.
In the end, they did nothing, and Higgins eventually got up and left, with her belongings.

Our Brucie is an expert on Ukraine, Russia, Russian military tactics, Israel, Jewish law, Azerbajan, Iran, Georgie, Amernia, Westeros, and so much more.

Cassie – I don’t know modern Jewish law and I couldn’t finish George RR Martin’s first book, as it got quite icky. The rest I can do reasonably well. You only have to ask and I will provide information as you wish, within reason since I’m a fairly well-read amateur not a scholar.

It is possible to know such things Cassie. I read a lot. I don’t know as much as you on local politics (your descriptions are fascinating) and I’m not good on a lot of military history detail that Cats like Zulu, Top Ender, BJ and Winston have at their fingertips. I love the comments though as I learn lots from you all, and that inspires me to read more. It’s fun.

I understand the staff loan is available to all RBA staff at concessional interest rates. Always has been.

Appropriate for an institution that creates money

No, not appropriate especially for an institution that inflicts financial pain on the rest of the country. They are remunerated well enough to be able to afford a costlier property then almost 99% of the rest of the populace.

By the way tonight at 9.30 pm AET 62 % of electricity being used was being generated by brown and black coal and 9% by gas. This is for the whole eastern coast (Qld, NSW, Vic. Tas, SA). The remainder was made up of 8% hydro and a mere 18% wind. No solar, that’s zero, was being generated because after all, the sun doesn’t shine at night. Only nincompoops could imagine that we can replace this amount of coal generated energy with wind . It can’t happen no matter how much you wish it or how you load your computer programs. It is a dead duck.

The 900,000 + people who left Russia are most likely military age men. Those who left Ukraine are predominantly women and children.

I know that, and you know that the reason no male is leaving the UKR is the same as that of Russia.
Not permitted.
The rest is immaterial.

Why point out 900K?
I tell you what, if allowed, there would be hardly any military age men left in the UKR, specially of the minorities who are press-ganged into the army and sent to the front after a few weeks of “training” as cannon fodder.
Sure, probably the same applies to Russia as well.
War is not in favour in the civilised world, bar the politicians and some adventurous idiots.
