Regardless of slights or perceived slights here, what is needed is a victory in the defamation case with terms of apologies being made in major newspapers and massive monetary compensation, along with trying anyone for perjury who has already made an admission to the fact.
Until this happens regularly, false accusers will continue their vile work.
How many people decided to get the jab without asking the wankers in the nursing home to wheel their parents out on their beds and into the sunlight so there would be no need for the jab status?
Is it a prison?
I’m guessing, not many.
Can not speak for other establishments other than the nursing home I am stuck in, but in this case, if you left the building for any reason at all you were placed into ten days isolation. Maybe some people thought that was too high a price to pay for a twenty minute visit.
Iagreed with Winston about getting on with it. I still do.
The alternatives are unappealing and pointless.

when I worked corporate treasury funds were invested with a range of institutions for a variety of terms to meet cash flow requirements – they were not al at call

ALM was never about having everything at call, it was about matching assets to liabilities.

Journalistic apartheid is ushered in at the ABC by sTan Grant:
No doubt soon you’ll have to show your Blak card to continue reading.
Lol is this guy for real? Does anyone seriously believe this happened?
Well, you could always end the article there so as not to waste your time.
What is it that keeps happening? Is it you getting another promotion?
Sigh. It does no such thing. The purpose of s 25 was to dissuade individual states from excluding ‘races’ from voting in state elections by subtracting the excluded people from the impugned state’s population for the purpose of calculating the proportion of its representation in the HoR relative to that of other states. In fact, it was targeting only non-Indigenous races, given s 127 excluded Aboriginals from these counts.
The only way it could possibly be said to “allow for people to be denied the right to vote on the basis of race” is that it does not expressly forbid this, but the same could be said for every other constitutional provision. sTan is talking bollocks.
What do you mean, “my people”? Don’t you mean ‘us’? Aren’t you writing for your people, sTan? Why aren’t you talking to them?
If the survival of sTan’s people depends on what he offers through his writing, his people are doomed.
Even more this year? So he went there once? Being in the untranslatable space for an hour or two translates into countless race grievance columns, so it has its benefits I suppose.

Yes Dot. But we have two different things here.
First is the question for the falsely accused – where do I go from here? If there is no remedy through the courts, what then?
The second it the principle itself – a false accuser must be punished. My punishment would be in line with a very old and well-established one – the person should suffer the same fate as that which would be meted out on the accused.
Lehmann plans to study law, I think he’d be better off studying carpentry, plumbing, or some other trade.

This was exemplified by Zhou’s answer to Kissinger’s fawning request for his retrospective view of the French Revolution. Indeed, Kissinger never tired of relaying the Great Man’s answer: “Too early to tell”. You see, you see, Kissinger would add, China’s greatest minds look ahead 200 years. Today, authors and publishers still use “playing the long game” in the subtitles of books about China.

It’s surprising that 60 Minutes, of all shows, has picked up the Ben Smith false accusations story.
Given the show’s history of total ‘me too’ mania it can be assumed that the program will focus on police failings and totally ignore the fact that all of his problems stem totally from a woman criminally levelling false accusations against him. A woman who will avoid deserved retribution.

I wonder why the Zulus didn’t attack at night.
Last June I sat with my young financial adviser. Having sold investment property at the peak we talked about what to do after capital gains took chunk. He was partially swayed by woke ie green energy, rare earths etc. but my view was that if interest rates rise such companies will likely be in more trouble as they are highly leveraged, therefore we shifted investments to companies not leveraged but in same field. Sure some of those companies we discarded might skyrocket in the interim but not for me. I don’t need the adrenalin. Investments now returning 7.9%. So happy for the moment but who knows what next. Never forget the “Black Swan”.
sfw:

Pool allocated.

Right now, he’s not fielding anywhere.
I don’t have a reference, but, apparently the Zulus had a similar belief to the American Indians – if you were killed fighting at night, your soul was condemned to wander all eternity, with no hope of rest or respite.
No night vision goggles.
They did . . . the hospital was attacked in the evening and throughout the night, the Zulus kept up a constant assault against the British positions.
It was actually depicted in the film – which was reasonably accurate.
Yes, not a wise choice. It seems every spiv in jail is also studying law.
12 overs left in the day.
It’s all about intent. If India were serious they’d declare now with a slight lead, give Straya (remembering Khawaja’s apparently injured) a red hot nine overs and see if they want to go for gold with a declaration of their own around tea time tomorrow.
Or, they could just keep on going and turn the entire fifth day into junk time if they wanted to be squeezers about it.

Not so much cooked as crooked.
From memory, it was Donald Morris’ book “The Washing of the Spears” that made the point that it was unusual for the Zulu’s to fight at night.
Obama never ran anything. The same bunch running Joe were running him.
Obama isn’t smart enough. The intelligence of a smart dog. Look at the way he looks up to the left and right when he finishes a speech. Like a dog seeking approval from his master.

Climate Activists Despair as Oil Giant Saudi Aramco Posts Record $161 Billion Profit for 2022 (12 Mar)
“Climate activists reacted with equal measures of anger and despair Sunday at the news oil giant Saudi Aramco achieved record profits totalling $161.1 billion last year as global demand for fossil fuels shows no sign of abating anytime soon.
…
Agnes Callamard, secretary-general of Amnesty International, issued a statement in response to the profits castigating the company for profiting from global demand for its product:
“It is shocking for a company to make a profit of more than $161 billion in a single year through the sale of fossil fuel –- the single largest driver of the climate crisis.”
I like how with one sentence Amnesty International demonstrates that they are communist climate wackos. Which we probably knew, but it’s always good to hear it directly from the horse’s mouth.

Pence is one of the Borg. He was simply better at disguising it with a veil of respectability. He’s Romney’s Protestant equivalent, with an appeal to a certain section of the electorate.
He fooled me for quite a while there with his talk about avoidance of a particular type of scandal, which was his one trick schtick. The discovery that he was a curate’s egg type of man was pretty disheartening.
I beg Cat’s pardon. For some stupid reason I typed Protestant, then memory tweaked the synapse. Pence is a Catholic.
Trump is agnostic, but baptised Presbyterian.

Sinning during the week, all is forgiven on Sunday sort of people I have in mind.
the Democrat-MSM Red Guards have had their Great Leap Backwards in ratings and credibility, so now they want to stop Fox News truth telling – it’s their version of the Cultural Revolution.

I understand it all too well, Gabor. Me being a sinner and all. It all boils down to where you put your reliance despite the circumstances you find yourself in.
Pence found himself between a rock and a hard place – we’ve all been there. By Jan 6 he would have known about the irregularities in the election, but perhaps not its extent. He must have known what happened in the Capitol building – he was there. I haven’t seen a peep from him about demonstrators being held without trial.
He fooled me too, Calli. I thought what a refreshing change for a politician who did not betray his wife and didn’t even want to be accused of such. Yet he had no problems with betraying his voters, his country and his president.
What I find even more curious is that he thinks he has a chance winning the Republican presidential primary after such a low act. Obviously the vice-presidential pension isn’t much in the US.
Calli, not only is he not advocating for justice for the Jan 6 prisoners but that interview reported in the Herald has him still mouthing all the slanders about that day.
Tucker Carlson: The truth needs to come out
Whatever you might say about Pence’s motives, every time he opens his mouth he makes himself even less electable. I can’t see him winning office anywhere now, not even as dog-catcher in a small town.
He will cling to the fiction like a life preserver. Despite the revelations on Fox, I don’t think any of it will come to anything. Some are saying that Carlson is controlled opposition. Who knows?
This is how politics in the USA rolls. Grifters and charlatans and windbags on both sides, with the added frisson of internet yappers and slick productions garnering donations from the gullible. With the odd dumpster fire, looting and shooting thrown in to liven things up a bit.
What I do know is that the world is a far more perilous place post 2020. The man who was accused of fomenting war started nothing, the one hailed as the conquering hero looks like presiding over the next big one.
“I beg Cat’s pardon. For some stupid reason I typed Protestant, then memory tweaked the synapse. Pence is a Catholic.”
My understanding is that Pence is no longer a Catholic. He and his wife are now followers of an Protestant evangelical movement and have been for quite a few years now.
Happy to be corrected.
That’s probably where I got my wires crossed, Cassie. Half right on both counts. 😀
Don’t worry dear, they will bail out the depositors. If only to preserve the millionaire grifters in the climate change scam;
Officially denied then eh? – its on then.

ZH is running a live blog on SVB. 2 hours ago;
Does Pence realize how much he stinks? I guess when you’re in the bubble what real people think is irrelevant. The whole last six years has been a revelation. Phonies like Howard outing themselves.
Certainly mixed messages Duk.
“In a reversal of what Janet Yellen said just hours ago, WaPo reports that federal authorities are “seriously considering safeguarding all uninsured deposits at Silicon Valley Bank” – and by extension any other bank on the verge of failure – and are weighing an extraordinary intervention to prevent what they fear would be a panic in the U.S. financial system. Translation: bailout of all depositors, not just those guaranteed by the the FDIC (<$250K)."
The screeching from the left to bail out their blue-eye boy wonders (or whatever they identify as) must be shaking the White House like an earthquake. All those lefty tech firms, and as Makka says it appears SVB was deeply embedded in the climate scam too. Heller has a blog post up on this topic.
People Who Are Incapable Of Learning (12 Mar)
I’m sure SVB are major donors to the Democrats too, although I’ve seen no reports yet to that effect.
1500+ climate and energy tech companies went broke trying to monetise a non-existent climate scare.
In the words of a long-dead Australian trade union leader (Norm Gallagher), it couldn’t have happened to a nicer pack of bastards.
When parasites finally consume the host organism.
Ho look! There’s another one! Off we go chums!
Chuckle. Dad once threw old Norm off a site.
He was bullying apprentices over which union to join.
Snap Makka! My “mixed messages” link is to that live blog if anyone wants to get there quickly.
Bloomie;
Woops. My bad. The climate scare certainly does exist, but the climate “crisis” is an hilarious case of mass mental illness among the wealthiest people on earth.
