But you shouldn’t ignore it, if someone comes at you with this, you need to confront them and push back hard.
Clearly, too many voters really ARE that stupid.
I don’t think they’re stupid. They’re just ignorant of the news.
I’m not kidding about this. Wifey told me she went for a haircut and got to talking to the hairdresser. Trump was first on the hairdresser’s agenda, and of course she ran with the left-wing party line. Wifey then asked her what she thought about The Voice. The gal apparently thought wifey was talking about the TV show.

AFP investigated for perverting course of justice in Lehrmann rape case
Jacqueline Maley
By Jacqueline Maley
April 7, 2023 — 9.43am
The Australian Federal Police will be investigated for attempting to pervert the course of justice while looking into the alleged sexual assault of former Liberal staffer Brittany Higgins by her colleague Bruce Lehrmann.
The Australian Commission for Law Enforcement Integrity (ACLEI), a watchdog tasked with detecting corruption in federal agencies including the AFP, will also investigate how the private diaries and text messages of Higgins were leaked to the media despite not being tendered in evidence to court.
In an email seen by the Herald and The Age, ACLEI executive director of operations Peter Ratcliffe confirms his agency is investigating whether “AFP members attempted to pervert the course of justice by pressuring Ms Brittany Higgins not to proceed with the matter”.
The agency will also investigate whether the police attempted to pervert the course of justice by “bypassing administrative processes that enabled protected information contained in a brief of evidence to be served on the defence at the time the summons and charge were served”.
This is a reference to sensitive material the police gathered in its investigation which would normally be redacted before being given to the defence legal team, but which was not in the case of the Lehrmann trial.
This material included notes from Higgins’ private psychological sessions, and the video of her interview with police.
Some sensitive material later found its way into articles in The Australian newspaper.
Ratcliffe confirmed the commission has also launched a separate investigation into the “potential leaking of documents and photos by AFP members to the media”, following a complaint from Higgins’ lawyer Leon Zwier.
In July ACLEI will be folded into the freshly minted National Anti-Corruption Commission, meaning the matter may be one of the first investigations undertaken by the new federal body.
Higgins first made her allegations of sexual assault in the media in February 2021, without naming the alleged perpetrator.
She said she had been raped by a Liberal colleague in the parliamentary office of their boss at the time, then-defence minister Linda Reynolds.

If you have a Navman or some other satellite map reading thingy, check the satellite speed against your speedo. Almost guaranteed your speed is 4 -5 km/hr out.
(Tip: don’t ever buy a Navman – the battery will not tolerate the heat inside a parked car in Qld when stuck on the windscreen. Mine lasted less than a year and the process for claiming replacement is impenetrable, – I suspect deliberately so – and you’re not covered if you’ve not taken the apparatus with you when you go shopping.)

Being female isn’t an outfit.
Spot on, Calli.
Transsexual “women” are a male homosexual parody of femininity because the male homosexuals trying on the deception have zero experience of their subject.
As well, the sex-change drugs they’re pumping into their bodies fill them with rage so the mass murders and attempted mass murders by transsexuals we’re now seeing in America were totally predictable.
BTW, male homosexual contempt for womanhood is everywhere at the Sydney Mardi Gras every year.

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has started his week-long holiday with a trip to Kincumber Maccas on NSW’s Central Coast.
He posted a picture of his coffee with locals to his Instagram page.
“Morning coffee and a chat with locals at Kincumber Maccas in @reid4robertson country – Happy Easter to all,” he captioned the image.
Mr Albanese had previously asked the media to respect his privacy while he had his first break of the year.
“I’m actually going on leave on Saturday,” he told a press conference on Thursday.
“I have not had any leave this year so I will be on leave for one week. Richard Marles and Penny Wong will be acting during that period, and I look forward to having some time off and … also not holding press conferences and having a bit of a rest.
“I will be in Australia, but I’d ask that my privacy be respected,” he said.

To whoever said just sit on a cushion, no need in our car because both front seats are electric height adjustable, which improves things a little when a passenger but not much use when you are the driver, as your feet don’t reach the controls very well then.

We had a very clear run down from Albury to Bendigo today, Good Friday. No trucks and almost no other traffic. You leave the highway and travel through the plains of the Goulburn Valley covered in fruit trees around Shepperton, where we picked up a Subway bun for lunch (the only thing open, shades of Covid closedown in Key West, Florida in March 2020). Quite a few aboriginal men loitering around, but no-one else, everything shut as on Christmas Day. Just out of town, a mosque with many middle eastern people leaving it after Friday prayers. After that the paddocks grow larger and become acres and acres of wheat and pastures. Still all flat until the turn towards Bendigo, which is a classic old country city with some interesting architecture. I was interested that placed on the country main roads had crash barriers wherever there were big stands of trees close to the road; a sign somewhere said that they really do save lives. I presume that’s by stopping head-ons into unforgiving trees.
We are staying at the Mercure, a contemporary ‘Art’ hotel, not a bad change from the worked-over renovated country motel we stayed in last night where the large round door handles, left over from the seventies, were wobbly and hard to operate although everything else was renewed. The rooms here are small and very thoughtfully designed, rather Japanese in style, and offer art books for your perusal in bed. Hairy has just departed for the gym, which is another reason we chose to stay here. I might tackle a Mr. Motivator in a minute. I’ll have to put down this white wine down first though.

Queensland police believe an elderly woman who has been missing for 12 days from inner-city Brisbane has died, and are investigating whether her disappearance is linked to her habit of removing recyclable waste from neighbourhood bins.
… “Mrs Trotter would often go to wheelie bins out the front of her residence or the neighbouring properties and remove recycling trash from general waste bins and transfer those into the correct bins,” Massingham said.
“We have not ruled out that this activity in some way is linked to her death.”
Police said Trotter was well known in the neighbourhood for ensuring rubbish was put into the correct bins.
“Whether that’s created some angst amongst the tenants, we’re working through that at the moment,” Massingham said.

Well, that’s done now. You can do a twelve minute one or a twenty minute one. I just did twenty minutes, and feel better for it. I love his middle-aged female sidekick – Miss Palmer, all togged up in her jazzy gear. She just doggedly gets on with it. This room is very small so the widest dancing space is about one metre by two metres, but that’s plenty for Mr. Motivator’s gyrations. It’s never too late to exercise with dance moves, Cats, so check out his online offerings or that of others.
I’m now going to finish that glass of white wine. We’ll have to have an early dinner tonight.
Just think, she votes and her ilk will carry the screech in this shithole.
I’d like to organize tours of certain towns, in each State, on “Pension night” for those who support the “Screech.”

Steve Trickler, you want microwave power transmission? Look up SPS (Solar Power Satellites). The only way to get 24/7 solar power. Use the powersat to generate microwaves which are beamed to rectenna farms on Earth. There has been a LOT of work done on this and right now IIRC a small demo system is flying.

“Bulls an Bears” is a bit reminiscent of the old time snake oil salesmen, but occasionally you can find the odd nugget (pun intended) in the lineup of miners (spruiking) their patch.
Yes, they all spout mineral content from bore-holes and all sorts of other stats at a rapid rate.
Intermingled with adverts for The Blind Factory, funeral plans and incontinence products, I can only guess who their target market might be.

Makes me think of a story an ex RAAF guy told me involving microwaves and radar systems.
Apparently they rigged up some new system in front of all the top brass and weren’t sure if it was working or not.
At which point, a nearby pigeon flew into the path of the microwave embitter and immediately fell out of the sky.
They were told that they couldn’t use a pigeon as proof of operation every time they used the equipment.
I wonder how much damage microwave transmission would do to bird populations on a large scale…
Also, aircraft flight paths would have to be remapped.

Brendan O’Neill – on Misogyny in Drag
Imagine if a male Liberal politician said to a feminist activist: “Stay in the kitchen, darling.”
Imagine if he said uppity women who take to the streets to fight for their rights would be better off at home, looking after the kids or darning socks.
There would be uproar, right?
The Nine Newspapers press would overflow with think pieces on misogyny. ABC bigwigs would furiously commission discussions about old white men’s fear of liberated women.
And rightly so. The vast majority of us believe in sexual equality. People don’t take kindly to women being demeaned as the lesser sex.
And yet, something very similar to this scenario took place on Australian TV this week and the right-on barely batted an eyelid.
It wasn’t an old white bloke who said it, though – it was a hip non-binary activist in a skirt and heels.
His name is Deni Todorovic. He was on Q+A. And in a clash with the Libera
l Victorian party president Greg Mirabella over Moira Deeming, he said something that I believe was deeply misogynistic.
Deni Todorovic appeared on ABC’s Q&A on Monday night. Picture: ABC
Deeming, of course, has been suspended from the Victorian Liberal party for the supposed crime of attending Kellie-Jay Keen’s Let Women Speak gathering in Melbourne.
That’s the one at which oafish far-right idiots turned up, uninvited.
Todorovic said Deeming “got off way too easily”. She should have been expelled, he said. Yes, we can’t have women exercising their right to express themselves in public.
Then he said something genuinely repugnant. He slammed Deeming’s “audacity” in attending the event and said: “Stay in bed and watch Rage, doll. Like seriously, stay at home.”
Read that again. *Stay at home, doll.* What decade is this?
Doll? Who does he think he is speaking about? Deeming is a woman, an established politician and a mother of four. She’s no one’s doll. She’s not some second-class creature who can be instructed by a man to stay home and watch late-night music videos on TV.
Just imagine the storm if Peter Dutton had been on Q+A and had said about someone like Van Badham, “Stop going on about politics, darling. Just stay in bed.”
There would be a national meltdown. So why is it okay for Todorovic to speak so degradingly about Deeming?
Is it because she’s a Liberal, and the woke don’t care about women like that? Or is it because Todorovic calls himself “non-binary” and wears women’s clothing?
Call me old-fashioned, but I believe misogyny is always wrong, whether it’s coming from an old fella in a stiff suit or a young activist in blue eye shadow.
Victotial Liberal PM Moira Deeming leaves a meeting to vote on leader John Pesutto’s bid to expel her. Picture: NCA NewsWire / Luis Ascui
No one comes out well from this disturbing incident. Todorovic certainly doesn’t. The audience doesn’t – they laughed at his suggestion that the Deeming doll should stay in bed.
The presenter, Stan Grant, doesn’t. He failed to challenge Todorovic on his use of the word “doll”. Does Grant think it’s acceptable to call women dolls? Does the ABC?
And the Liberals don’t look good, either. Why didn’t Mirabella push back harder against the insulting of one of his colleagues? The Victorian Liberals’ suspension of Deeming was shameful. It was a yellow-bellied capitulation to the woke mob.
Deeming had no idea those fascist loons would opportunistically try to attach themselves to the Let Women Speak event. She merely wanted to express her perfectly legitimate view that women are real and women’s rights matter.
To punish Deeming for what a bunch of Sieg Heiling men did is cowardly, intolerant and sexist. If the Liberals won’t defend freedom for one of their own women, how can we expect them to defend it for anyone else?
Let’s be clear about what is happening here: a woman with a principled and personal interest in preserving women-only spaces has been monstered in the most horrible way.
Deeming has spoken about being sexually abused as a child and sexually assaulted in adulthood. This is why she is passionate about women’s rights and privacy.
It is extraordinary that such a woman has been witch-hunted and shamed. That she is mocked as a “doll”. That she is told to stay home. That woke audience members at the ABC cackle as she is disparaged.
Never let the right-on pose as a friend of women again. For we now know that if a woman expresses a view they disapprove of, they will throw her to the wolves. Bye, doll.
Sexism has had a makeover. We might call it misogyny in drag. Intolerance of women’s voices no longer comes from dinosaur blokes who are nostalgic for the 1950s but from youthful activists who worship at the altar of gender fluidity.
Their post-science, post-truth belief that anyone can be a woman – even a man – has led them to view womanhood as a frivolous, flimsy thing, and to view any woman who stands up for biological truth as a bigot.
I was brought up to respect women, to treat them as my equals, and to expect that they will enjoy every right I enjoy. I don’t want to see such equality overturned, whether by sexist throwbacks who think sheilas should stay in the kitchen or postmodern activists who think they should stay in bed.
Yes. His sort of ‘woman’ doesn’t have to stay at home in bed, but she does.
His sort of ‘woman’ is a frivolous, flimsy bearded thing in a sparkly jumper and a lace skirt.
His sort of ‘woman’ has a dick and balls and gets off on donning women’s clothes.
His sort of ‘woman’ is no sort of woman that I recognise, and I guess many real men wouldn’t want to own him either.
What a tosser and poseur. Real women who give support to this loon will soon come to regret it.
He’s making something serious into a fantasy play for his own benefit, not for theirs, that’s for sure.

According to Daniel Andrews If you oppose “The Voice” or merely even suggest debating the merits of the YES vote you are a racist and bigot.
There is a certain irony that opposition to race-based preference in the Constitution is being shouted down because racism.
“This is the Australia we live in; it is racist. So this could be the political making of a whole lot of people who want to help us get this over the line and create a permanent system of empowerment for Indigenous people,” Langton said.
[…]
“We have to have a constitutionally enshrined voice that empowers our people, regionally and nationally, to make bureaucrats accountable, and respond to representations on all policy matters and legislative matters that affect us.
A deep reach into executive government. Nationally unifying and not at all racially directed.
Team Dutton needs to use similarly direct language to explain the No case.

King Charles supports study of royal family’s slavery links
By Jack Blackburn and Valentine Low
The Times
12:56PM April 7, 2023
17 Comments
Oxbridge colleges, the Bank of England, the National Trust – the list of British institutions reconsidering their links to slavery is lengthy, but it has just acquired its biggest possible member in the form of the Crown.
The decision by King Charles to support research into the royals and slavery has set a precedent that could create a deluge of historical inquiries into the royal past. It is causing concern as to what the consequences may be, but a leading imperial historian has said that today’s royals had “no need to feel worried” about such investigations.
Historic Royal Palaces is assisting Camilla de Koning, a Dutch academic, with her PhD thesis on the role of the Royal African Company, the slavery monopoly which was established by two British kings.
However, having started with slavery, the royals will find other areas where their past may be examined unfavourably. For instance, there has been controversy this year over their ownership of the Koh-i-noor diamond, which India and other countries lay claim to. This is just one of many potential issues over “extracted wealth” from former dominions.
As such the King’s decision will seem courageous to many. There are worries as to how the palace can respond to this research, and whether its findings will amplify calls for reparations.
However, Alex von Tunzelmann, a historian of empire nominated for the Wolfson History Prize, said the King’s decision was welcome and the palace should feel little cause for disquiet.
“No one today thinks the present royal family were personally responsible for slavery,” she said. “But something they can take responsibility for is how they address and deal with that history today. That’s why I think this is a positive move.”
Von Tunzelmann has welcomed the openness the King has shown in allowing access to the Royal Collection and Archives. “If it opens the floodgates, good!” she said. “We live in a democratic constitutional monarchy, not a dictatorship, and no part of history should be off limits for research and discussion.”
De Koning’s PhD is entitled “Royal Enterprise: Reconsidering the Crown’s Engagement in Britain’s Emerging Empire, 1660-1775.” Her experience, while at the University of Leiden, includes research into the Dutch involvement in the slave trade. The Palace said: “This will, of course, be very relevant to researching the period 1689-1702, the reign of William III, the Dutch Stadtholder, and Queen Mary II.”
De Koning said: “I hope to find more information on how the royals thought and spoke about the slave trade and wider imperial economies they were involved in.” She added: “The role of the state has long been a focus of historians, but the agency of individual monarchs in shaping imperial development, and their understanding of and engagement in imperial activity, has received much less attention.
“Doing this research is important as gaining more knowledge on this subject allows us to put the monarchy back in imperial history: they were not just signing decrees and stamping warrants without knowing what was happening.
“Showing the involvement of the monarchy with the colonial empire portrays the goals and ambition that members of the royal family had for the British Empire, and how they were able to influence this trajectory.”
There will be more to discuss beyond the limit of her PhD. By 1775, the East India Company was yet to reach the zenith of its powers in India and in the 19th century Queen Victoria was to gain much from the subsequent Raj.
Investigations on that subject would be very delicate indeed. The Indian government is alert on post-imperial matters, and royal-sanctioned research into the subject is likely to cause a diplomatic nightmare.
For now, there is nothing to do but wait and see what happens with this first bit of royal reappraisal. De Koning said she hoped to trace how the monarchy invested in the slave trade, from the establishment of the Royal African Company by Charles II and his brother the Duke of York – later James II – in 1660, as well as “their engagement in imperial development in other ways”.
De Koning has two supervisors – Edmond Smith, a senior lecturer at Manchester, and Charles Farris, public historian for the history of the monarchy at Historic Royal Palaces.
The research project emerged after The Guardian reported that an archive document discovered by the historian Brooke Newman showed that in 1689 William III had been given pounds 1,000 of shares in the Royal African Company. The document was signed by Edward Colston, the slave trader whose history became widely known after protesters pulled down and threw his statue into Bristol harbour during the 2020 Black Lives Matter protests.

Won’t work. Cost of getting the stupid things into geostationary; you can’t use solar or wind to do that. Plus the things wear out very quickly; the photovoltaic process kills the cells gradually on Earth. Under 24 hour solar unmitigated by an atmosphere the things deteriorate very quickly; plus the conversion equipment to change the energy into microwaves is very expensive and also wears out fast.

We have to have a constitutionally enshrined voice that empowers our people, regionally and nationally, to make bureaucrats accountable, and respond to representations on all policy matters and legislative matters that affect us.
The bureaucrats should be held accountable in front of Estimates Committees, though they seem to have less fear of defying those committees than 25 years ago. Does she want the Constitutional right to question bureaucrats at Estimates Committees?
Representations on brad policy matters can be made to her local MP, or directly to the responsible minister.
What she wants is a private link to the corridors of power, not available to other Australians, that link being based on race and a specific ethnicity.

“And the Liberals don’t look good, either. Why didn’t Mirabella push back harder against the insulting of one of his colleagues? The Victorian Liberals’ suspension of Deeming was shameful. It was a yellow-bellied capitulation to the woke mob.”
Brendan O’Neill, as always, nails it. A perfect description of the Liberal Party in 2023.
Further to useless, spineless, craven, cowardly, capitulating Liberals, where are the stupid f*cking Liberals on this. Sleazy sat with a “controversial Islamic sheik who called AIDS a divine punishment for homosexuality and preached against Jews ‘inciting hatred’ while having special legal protections. Mr Albanese tweeted an image of himself at a table with a smiling Sheikh Shady Alsuleiman on Wednesday evening and said it was an ‘honour’ to attend the ritual fast-breaking Iftar dinner with him. Sheikh Shady is president of the Australian National Imams Council president, which advises governments on key Islamic issues, but he has been embroiled in a number of controversies including being briefly banned from travelling to New Zealand following the Christchurch massacre.”
Ahhhh yes, I suppose some Jew hatred is quite kosher, pardon the pun. Must be because those Jew haters have “legitimate grievances“. But why not call out Sleazy, especially since two weeks ago Labor and the Greens were screaming, shouting and screeching Nazis, Nazis, Nazis and implying conservatives are “Nazis”. I ask, where are the Liberals on this? No where of course.

You might feel differently when I announce that although half an inch shorter than your dear self, I do have a little bit of a penchant for 3 inch stiletto heels. They go so nicely with my collection of dresses.

On a serious note, we are seeing the rise of misogyny in our culture. Not the stupid, political point-scoring rubbish practised by the likes of Gillard and the rest. But the real “we despise and disrespect you and if you get out of line, we will bash you. We will use our superior strength to make sure you shut up.” While those who practise this violence declare themselves victims.
It is really f**ked up beyond belief.

The cost of delivering the 1,700-kilometre Inland Rail project in the eastern states has blown out to $31.4 billion, according to a damning new report, which warns the price tag may climb even higher because it is still unclear where the line “will start or finish”.

The O’Neill concept was to build them from lunar materials and move the materials to high Earth orbit using electromagnetic catapults on the Moon. Lots cheaper that way.

Been ruminating (again) on the legendary Theodore Dalrymple quote about passively accepting blatant absurdities.
Here it is in all its glory:
In my study of communist societies, I came to the conclusion that the purpose of communist propaganda was not to persuade or convince, not to inform, but to humiliate; and therefore, the less it corresponded to reality the better. When people are forced to remain silent when they are being told the most obvious lies, or even worse when they are forced to repeat the lies themselves, they lose once and for all their sense of probity. To assent to obvious lies is in some small way to become evil oneself. One’s standing to resist anything is thus eroded, and even destroyed. A society of emasculated liars is easy to control.
Remind anyone of anything?

Flying Officer Arthur Joplin obituary
Humble New Zealander who bombed the battleship Tirpitz and was the last surviving wartime pilot from the legendary 617 Squadron
Friday April 07 2023, 12.01am, The Times
New Zealand
While Flying Officer Arthur Joplin struggled to find an airfield in the fog-bound Lincolnshire countryside in the early hours of December 22, 1944, the crew of his Avro Lancaster bomber waited anxiously. They knew they faced fresh perils at the end of a mission that had already lasted ten hours.
With the aircraft low on fuel, Joplin was running out of time as the ground rose up beneath them. A few minutes later, the port wing brushed a hill near Market Rasen and Joplin lost control.
The young pilot was trapped in his seat as the aircraft crashed and he was saved only by the actions of his navigator, Flight Sergeant Basil Fish, who pulled him from the burning wreckage. Fish later recalled that he could hear the sounds of bones breaking as he manoeuvred Joplin out of his seat.
Two other members of the crew perished. One of them was a bomb aimer who had volunteered to stand in for a member of Joplin’s crew who was sick. He had known Joplin for some time. The mission would have completed his tour of operations and been his last trip.
Years later, Joplin, a New Zealander affectionately known as “Joppy” by his wartime friends, told an interviewer: “It was bad. It’s one of those things that you just can’t get away from. It’s with you for the rest of your life . . . it’s always with me.”
Joplin, who was then 21, had taken off with other Lancasters from 617 Squadron — the famed “Dam Busters” — from Woodhall Spa in Lincolnshire the previous afternoon. His aircraft had been one of 207 bombers that attacked the synthetic-oil refinery at Politz, near Stettin, which was then in eastern Germany but is today part of Poland. The plant was badly damaged. Three Lancasters were shot down during the raid. Five more crashed in England.
At their pre-flight briefing, the crews had been told that the weather would deteriorate in Lincolnshire, with heavy fog expected, and they should return to bases in Scotland. After attacking the target, Joplin set course for their diversionary base, but was then ordered to return to Woodhall Spa.
As they crossed the English coast, it became apparent that Lincolnshire was still shrouded in fog. Joplin headed for an airfield at Ludford Magna, which was equipped with Fido, which stood for Fog Investigation and Dispersal Operation. When Joplin asked for permission to land, there was apparently no reply.
The entry for Joplin’s crew in 617 Squadron’s Operations Record Book reads: “Aircraft crashed on return at approx 02.45 hours near Market Rasen. Sortie completed.”

At roughly 5’4’’ (at least I was – probably have shrunk since then) – I don’t think of myself as “small”.
As for the high heels – I once had a beautiful pair of red patent leather very, very high heels – which I successfully walked around in. I simply cannot imagine how on earth I did that, since I now totter on quite modest heels.
Ah youth! Anything was possible.

Bruce Lehrmann lawyer asked cops to investigate Brittany Higgins over ‘falsified evidence’
EXCLUSIVE
By JANET ALBRECHTSEN
Columnist
and STEPHEN RICE
NSW Editor
7:06PM April 7, 2023
Bruce Lehrmann’s lawyer wrote to police during his rape trial last year seeking that Brittany Higgins be investigated over matters arising from the trial, including allegations that she falsified and destroyed evidence, fabricated a photo of a bruise on her leg and publicly called into question the evidence of a witness while the trial was still under way.
The letter, from barrister Steven Whybrow to the Australian Federal Police, requests that if an investigation indicates Ms Higgins committed any offences, “any decision whether to prosecute NOT be undertaken by the DPP Shane Drumgold SC or any other member of his office who had any involvement in his prosecution”.
In the letter, sent on October 24, three days before the trial was aborted due to juror misconduct, Mr Whybrow referred to “a substantial body of evidence” relating to the ACT Criminal Code, the Listening Devices Act and the Statutory Declarations Act.
My Whybrow said the evidence, including Ms Higgins’ own sworn evidence, suggested that she had deleted and/or concealed communications with people likely to be relevant witnesses in the case including former cabinet minister Linda Reynolds and her then chief of staff Fiona Brown, and several others, “with the intention of influencing the outcome of a legal proceeding”.
The lawyer said Ms Higgins had asserted in a statutory declaration that a photo she provided to The Project TV show in February 2021 was of a bruise taken by her in April 2019 and caused by Bruce Lehrmann on March 22-23, 2019.
However, the evidence suggested Ms Higgins had fabricated the photo “with the intention of influencing a decision to commence a legal proceeding or influencing the outcome of a legal proceeding”, he alleged

I just hope the power doesn’t go. My Generator has been connected to the LPG, waiting for the sparky to connect it to the Power. No local sparkies here. If it’s an emergency, they’ll be there in a fortnight. All other jobs, six to eight weeks.
We are in Sydney for Easter & have just seen a message from AGL that our power is out on the farm. As I have explained before, we have a 10kw solar system – but are still connected to the grid & have power outages when the grid goes down – day or night.
When this last happened a month or so ago our new bore pump setup did not start up again when power resumed, & the camera set up to monitor the bore pressure was out of battery! Thank goodness we returned in time, as the trough in the paddock our cows were in was dry when we returned.
We have since restored the old mechanical pressure switch which should not be affected by the power cut off which affects the new digital switch which is designed to detect burst pipes.
All of this makes us even more determined to either get a special switch to disconnect from the grid from time to time – or to just completely disconnect.

Been ruminating (again) on the legendary Theodore Dalrymple quote about passively accepting blatant absurdities.
Here it is in all its glory:
In my study of communist societies, I came to the conclusion that the purpose of communist propaganda was not to persuade or convince, not to inform, but to humiliate; and therefore, the less it corresponded to reality the better. When people are forced to remain silent when they are being told the most obvious lies, or even worse when they are forced to repeat the lies themselves, they lose once and for all their sense of probity. To assent to obvious lies is in some small way to become evil oneself. One’s standing to resist anything is thus eroded, and even destroyed. A society of emasculated liars is easy to control.
Remind anyone of anything?

Kangaroo Flat. LOL haven’t been there in years, last time I was there I had a decent sesh with a mate in the pub watching the footy. Would have been around 2004. Family I have there live on the other side of Bendigo.
As an undergrad in the early ’90’s K Flat was very working class and housing commission, I used to do delivery driving down there. Remember doing a delivery to a house across from the rail line, a big bloke with a goatee answered the door. Took one look at me and yelled down the hallway “hay fatso your pizza is here.”

Last week, Pauline Hanson decided to join in the opprobrium of Mark Latham, all because he spoke some basic truths about homosexual sex in a twitter response to creepy sinister independent Alex Greenwich, who first called Latham a “disgusting human being”. Pauline decided to join in the outrage mob, and called for Latham to apologise. Silly woman.
Anyway, the Daily Telegraph is reporting….
Pauline Hanson slammed over depiction of NDIS in ‘Please Explain’ video
One Nation and Pauline Hanson have been condemned over a video about the NDIS that disability groups have labelled as “hateful and discriminatory”.
Pauline Hanson has been slammed over a video posted on her YouTube channel on the NDIS that appears to make fun of disabled Australians.
The video on the ‘Pauline Hanson’s Please Explain’ account depicts Liberal leaders Peter Dutton and Susan Ley being told they qualify for the NDIS after their shock loss at the Aston by-election.
“The Liberal Party now qualifies for the NDIS … the national disability insurance scam – scheme, scheme, I mean scheme,” a doctor says in the two-minute cartoon clip.
The video goes on to describe the scheme as the “biggest budget blowout yet” and erroneously claims that people with a stubbed toe are eligible for the program, are as Greens voters, because they have a “cognitive disability”.
One clip appears to depict Greens Senator Jordon Steele-John, who uses a wheelchair and is the nation’s first disabled Senator, surrounded by sex workers.
The video was labelled as “repugnant, hateful and discriminatory” by advocacy groups People with Disability Australia (PWDA) and Advocacy for Inclusion (AFI).
“The insensitive cruelty of this propaganda by the Hanson team stoops to new lows, with its offensive, inappropriate and inaccurate depictions of disability supports under the NDIS,” said PWDA President Nicole Lee said.
That call was echoed by Head of Policy at AFI and longtime NDIS campaigner Craig Wallace.
“The video inspires hatred against disabled people and is a particularly nasty and vile depiction of the lives of highly vulnerable people with disability…it should be roundly condemned by all decent Australians including our national leaders,” he said.
The video claimed that conditions like stubbing a toe would allow people to qualify, something that Mr Wallace says “blatantly misrepresents” eligibility, with the reality that the NDIS is “highly limited and constrained to people with permanent and significant impairment”.
Many people still struggle to get basic equipment or personal care, others have had plans cut, and the prolonged assessments and bureaucracy mean that this is hardly a luxury,” he said.
The term “scam” was repeated throughout the video, something Mr Wallace took particular issue with.
“It is also inaccurate to suggest that people with disability are ‘scamming’ the scheme when we know we are actually more likely to be the victims of scams, poor services and rip offs by services and businesses seeking to profit from disabled people,” he said.
PWDA and AFI have called for the video to be removed and “replaced with a public apology to the 4.4 million Australians living with disability”.
NCA NewsWire has contacted Ms Hanson and Mr Steele-John for comment.
When contacted for comment a spokesman for Ms Hanson told NCA NewsWire the Senator was “on a break”
Hey Pauline, I hope you don’t apologise but here’s a thought, perhaps you should apologise to Mark Latham. Oh and Pauline, trying to suck up to the left never works, because they’ve always hated you and they always will.

BEST kick-arse scene I’ve seen (Reacher TV series: She pretty.):
What’s even stranger, is when those sheep bleat back, asserting the slaughterhouse is actually a utopia, and once inside, everything will be more just, more free, and more fair.
Of course, the analogy above is akin to the struggle of the awake conservative and how we relate to contemporary everyday leftists. They really have no idea they’re nothing more than pawns, utterly dispensable, and they too will be told to ‘face the wall’ if — as Tucker Carlson labels them — the “lizard overlords in Davos” get their way.
Speaking of whom….
Jamie Dimon, CEO of JPMorgan Chase & Co. and World Economic Forum crony, dispatched a letter to all shareholders just two days ago which contained several revealing tidbits, two of which I will highlight.
The first?
Dimon proposes the seizure of Americans’ private property as a viable path forward for the “green” agenda.
In his words:
We may even need to evoke eminent domain – we simply are not getting the adequate investments fast enough for grid, solar, wind and pipeline initiatives.
As we all know, the Inflation Reduction Act was really just the Green New Deal, with billions of confiscated and unbacked dollars funneled to “green” industries — and now the globalists are openly clawing for our real estate too.
Secondly,
Dimon reveals how deeply inept (or is it putrescent?) the Federal Reserve, and the Biden troupe as a whole really is — and I actually don’t think it was intentional. Speaking to the recent financial fiascos,
Dimon wrote:
Regarding the current disruption in the U.S. banking system, most of the risks were hiding in plain sight. Interest rate exposure, the fair value of held-to-maturity (HTM) portfolios and the amount of SVB’s uninsured deposits were always known – both to regulators and the marketplace.
It is unlikely that any recent change in regulatory requirements would have made a difference in what followed. Instead, the recent rapid rise of interest rates placed heightened focus on the potential for rapid deterioration…. Even worse, the stress testing based on the scenario devised by the Federal Reserve Board (the Fed) never incorporated interest rates at higher levels. This is not to absolve bank management – it’s just to make clear that this wasn’t the finest hour for many players.
“The stress testing based on the scenario devised by… (the Fed) never incorporated interest rates at higher levels.”
If economic “experts” with noteworthy “credentials” couldn’t figure out that raising the rates was going to be the only way to temporarily mitigate the unfettered spending — something even I knew — then they rival Bill Cooper’s example of “the stupidest” people to ever “walk the face of the earth.” Or, they’re not that dumb, and they manufactured the financial crises… central bank digital currency anyone? Either way it remains inarguable — the Fed completely fails at its stated mission “to foster the stability, integrity, and efficiency of the nation’s monetary, financial, and payment systems so as to promote optimal macroeconomic performance.”
So how can we slow the bleeding? Well, Dimon offers us that answer too — albeit seemingly intentionally. Read below:
If Craig Wallace is the useless and utterly incompetent former Thuringowa member perhaps a question should be asked about his continuing snout being in the trough. A former local member of mine till we got moved into Hinchinbrook by boundary changes, Sam Cox a decent member dispatched him but regretfully lasted 1 term.
Nice to see he is still slithering around.

Rabz quote from Theodore Dalrymple (6:30pm) is one for the ages.
Donald Trump’s indictment makes one wonder if the members of the Democrat party have ever picked up a history book, walked by one in a library, or accidentally heard an episode of the History of Rome podcast.
I doubt it because if they had, they’d know that Rome didn’t transition from a republic to an empire overnight, and they’d be familiar with the modern iteration of the George Santayana adage:
Those who do not learn history are doomed to repeat it.
By the time Caesar became dictator in 49 BC, the Republic was already gone in everything but name only. The Republic’s collapse had been put in motion 80 years before with the murder of Tiberius Gracchus.
Gracchus was a populist Plebeian tribune, essentially the equivalent of being a member of our House of Representatives. Citizens loved him, and the aristocratic Senate hated him. His assassination points the way to Caesar:
[T]he oligarchy had introduced violence into the political system with the murder of Tiberius Gracchus and over the years the use of violence became increasingly acceptable as various political disputes in Rome led to more and more bloody discord.
With Gracchus’s death, violence became an increasingly common political weapon in Rome, with Sulla’s purges early in the 1st century BC as the clearest example. Sulla executed 9,000 rival Marian partisan supporters, without regard for age or sex.
Three decades later, Caesar would take control, only to lose his life at the hands of a cabal of his establishment rivals. This widespread political violence only came to an end (temporary as it might be) when his adopted son, Augustus, become emperor. Tellingly, however, Augustus achieved that peace only after executing thousands of his political enemies.
Rome devolved from a republic in which domestic politics were decided mostly by words and relatively objective laws, to a dictatorship where laws were anything but objective, and the emperor could take life and property on a whim.
The late Roman Republic had the equivalent of our “Swamp,” which it called the Senate.
While ostensibly there were balancing powers of influence, such as the assemblies, two Consuls (a split executive office with a term of one year) and, occasionally, the appointment of a temporary Dictator, the reality is that the Senate, made up of the richest and most powerful citizens, ran the Republic. Even when one of the assemblies or one of the Consuls seemed to be ascendant, it was the senators calling most of the shots through their relationships with the state officials, familial connections to this or that general, and their control of the purse strings.
So, you have a body of rich and powerful citizens having ostensibly limited power through the visible levers of government, but actually exercising real power through the connections, relationships, and shared ideology of the apparatchiks in the bureaucracy, the opinion makers, and those who indoctrinate the youth who always act as the frontline shock troops. Sound familiar?
Things have changed a lot in 2,000 years, but the nature of man…not so much.
Power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely. As with most things today, political changes happen faster than they did in the past.
America has been loosed from the anchor of the Constitution and the rule of law that kept our citizens free for two centuries.
While the blood of the regime’s enemies may not yet be flowing in the streets, history very clearly tells us that, unless we change what’s happening, it will be.
The question is, are there enough Americans who are familiar with history and willing to pull us out of our national death spiral before that terrible end is upon us?
How Americans respond to Donald Trump’s persecution is the canary in the coal mine that will likely answer that question.

This whole story has parodied what happened to me . I was in perfect health. as a former athlete I was always in good health and was careful with diet and took no pills or medicine. One year after the fzr. vaccine I went to see my doctor because of pain on my left shoulder and arm . I was sent to hospital and was diagnosed as having 3 arterie blockages one being the main arterie that carries 70% of blood supply to the hearth. I had emergency heart bypass one week later. I had told the doctors and the cardiologists initially that I had not felt as good since I had the vaccine . My comments were ignored.
My 23yr old foster son just passed away this past December 28th, from sudden cardiac arrest. He didn’t smoke, or do drugs and he barely drank alcohol. He only got vaccinated because his employer required it. Up here in Canada, the UNvaxxed were treated like lepers. (We couldn’t travel on planes, trains or busses, etc.) I am SO angry at the doctors for sending him home with a diagnosis of anxiety, and a prescription for antidepressants, about a month before he died. I am SO angry at the government. I am SO angry at the mandates. I am SO angry at the obfuscation of data by the pharmaceutical companies and scientists. I am SO angry at the media, for the propaganda. I am just SO angry…
We need to DEMAND investigations into the rise in sudden deaths, especially in our young people! What’s going on is criminal, imo.

Mine lasted less than a year and the process for claiming replacement is impenetrable, – I suspect deliberately so – and you’re not covered if you’ve not taken the apparatus with you when you go shopping.)

With no possibility of electoral consequences, he can now implement every leftard wet dream. Capital gains tax on the family home. Increased tax on superannuation, including confiscation of unspent balances on death. Top income tax rate of 95% on all income above the Prime Ministerial salary. compulsory Labor Party membership for all. Increase immigration to 1 million pa, with all spare bedrooms, rental properties and holiday houses to be opened to the new arrivals.
And so much more. Go for it AnAl!

Probably so but, unlike your good self, my grammar is impeccable.
It is true, when faced with theories about Mr Doppler controlling the weather, or Tickler telling hospitals that he only wants to be transfused with the blood of Nazi super-models or something, I am somewhat sceptical.
Being sceptical is fine. Remaining ignorant is another. And yes, if I was to receive blood I didn’t want it from a jabbed up compliant pin cushion – my family included. As for the Nazi quip, you are no better than a frothy mouthed lefty, who throws that word around much like Billy man boobs Shorten, dickhead Dan and all the others losers.

Transsexual “women” are a male homosexual parody of femininity because the male homosexuals trying on the deception have zero experience of their subject.
As well, the sex-change drugs they’re pumping into their bodies fill them with rage so the mass murders and attempted mass murders by transsexuals we’re now seeing in America were totally predictable.
BTW, male homosexual contempt for womanhood is everywhere at the Sydney Mardi Gras every year.

We had a very clear run down from Albury to Bendigo today, Good Friday. No trucks and almost no other traffic. You leave the highway and travel through the plains of the Goulburn Valley covered in fruit trees around Shepperton, where we picked up a Subway bun for lunch (the only thing open, shades of Covid closedown in Key West, Florida in March 2020). Quite a few aboriginal men loitering around, but no-one else, everything shut as on Christmas Day. Just out of town, a mosque with many middle eastern people leaving it after Friday prayers. After that the paddocks grow larger and become acres and acres of wheat and pastures. Still all flat until the turn towards Bendigo, which is a classic old country city with some interesting architecture. I was interested that placed on the country main roads had crash barriers wherever there were big stands of trees close to the road; a sign somewhere said that they really do save lives. I presume that’s by stopping head-ons into unforgiving trees.
We are staying at the Mercure, a contemporary ‘Art’ hotel, not a bad change from the worked-over renovated country motel we stayed in last night where the large round door handles, left over from the seventies, were wobbly and hard to operate although everything else was renewed. The rooms here are small and very thoughtfully designed, rather Japanese in style, and offer art books for your perusal in bed. Hairy has just departed for the gym, which is another reason we chose to stay here. I might tackle a Mr. Motivator in a minute. I’ll have to put down this white wine down first though.
Just spoken to Mater on the phone. We are meeting with his family for lunch tomorrow, sadly too difficult for some others to come in from out of town tomorrow. But the reservation is flexible, for those who may still attend. Contact Mater first.
There’s a name from the dim and distant past.

Fortifying myself for the musical challenge ahead tonight; Rheingold is a pagan theme for Good Friday, but that’s the day they chose, not us. I’m still surprised that it is on tonight though.
Something related to that is what Jordan Peterson spoke about recently. He reckons that mothers who push kids into gender reassignment are very mentally ill and need to be under mental health supervision.

Imagine yourself strapped on that tower in the background where the white rectangle is – the focal point. 34 kw getting zapped into you from a rated 500kw array 1.5 km away. Everyone would watch you get cooked very quickly with the aroma of flesh permeating in air for those standing down wind taking a sniff. A full concentrated burst at 500kw would make your body explode as you bodily fluids vaporize from within.
What they have at their disposal today is scary. Much, much , more powerful. Today, they use multiple arrays and zap the atmosphere with massive amounts of power to produce the desired manipulative effects on the weather.

Queensland police believe an elderly woman who has been missing for 12 days from inner-city Brisbane has died, and are investigating whether her disappearance is linked to her habit of removing recyclable waste from neighbourhood bins.
…
“Mrs Trotter would often go to wheelie bins out the front of her residence or the neighbouring properties and remove recycling trash from general waste bins and transfer those into the correct bins,” Massingham said.
“We have not ruled out that this activity in some way is linked to her death.”
Police said Trotter was well known in the neighbourhood for ensuring rubbish was put into the correct bins.
“Whether that’s created some angst amongst the tenants, we’re working through that at the moment,” Massingham said.

Won’t work. Cost of getting the stupid things into geostationary; you can’t use solar or wind to do that. Plus the things wear out very quickly; the photovoltaic process kills the cells gradually on Earth. Under 24 hour solar unmitigated by an atmosphere the things deteriorate very quickly; plus the conversion equipment to change the energy into microwaves is very expensive and also wears out fast.
We have to have a constitutionally enshrined voice that empowers our people, regionally and nationally, to make bureaucrats accountable, and respond to representations on all policy matters and legislative matters that affect us.
The bureaucrats should be held accountable in front of Estimates Committees, though they seem to have less fear of defying those committees than 25 years ago. Does she want the Constitutional right to question bureaucrats at Estimates Committees?
Representations on brad policy matters can be made to her local MP, or directly to the responsible minister.

“And the Liberals don’t look good, either. Why didn’t Mirabella push back harder against the insulting of one of his colleagues? The Victorian Liberals’ suspension of Deeming was shameful. It was a yellow-bellied capitulation to the woke mob.”
Brendan O’Neill, as always, nails it. A perfect description of the Liberal Party in 2023.
Further to useless, spineless, craven, cowardly, capitulating Liberals, where are the stupid f*cking Liberals on this. Sleazy sat with a “controversial Islamic sheik who called AIDS a divine punishment for homosexuality and preached against Jews ‘inciting hatred’ while having special legal protections. Mr Albanese tweeted an image of himself at a table with a smiling Sheikh Shady Alsuleiman on Wednesday evening and said it was an ‘honour’ to attend the ritual fast-breaking Iftar dinner with him. Sheikh Shady is president of the Australian National Imams Council president, which advises governments on key Islamic issues, but he has been embroiled in a number of controversies including being briefly banned from travelling to New Zealand following the Christchurch massacre.”
Ahhhh yes, I suppose some Jew hatred is quite kosher, pardon the pun. Must be because those Jew haters have “legitimate grievances“. But why not call out Sleazy, especially since two weeks ago Labor and the Greens were screaming, shouting and screeching Nazis, Nazis, Nazis and implying conservatives are “Nazis”. I ask, where are the Liberals on this? No where of course.

The cost of delivering the 1,700-kilometre Inland Rail project in the eastern states has blown out to $31.4 billion, according to a damning new report, which warns the price tag may climb even higher because it is still unclear where the line “will start or finish”.
“Two years ago the estimate was $16.4 billion, and now it is about $31 billion.”

It was all the rage in the ’80s and was thought of as one way to raise capital to build O’Neill Colonies in orbit.

Feeding the Masses: How Sydney eats at Easter time

The O’Neill concept was to build them from lunar materials and move the materials to high Earth orbit using electromagnetic catapults on the Moon. Lots cheaper that way.

I just hope the power doesn’t go. My Generator has been connected to the LPG, waiting for the sparky to connect it to the Power. No local sparkies here. If it’s an emergency, they’ll be there in a fortnight. All other jobs, six to eight weeks.
We are in Sydney for Easter & have just seen a message from AGL that our power is out on the farm. As I have explained before, we have a 10kw solar system – but are still connected to the grid & have power outages when the grid goes down – day or night.
When this last happened a month or so ago our new bore pump setup did not start up again when power resumed, & the camera set up to monitor the bore pressure was out of battery! Thank goodness we returned in time, as the trough in the paddock our cows were in was dry when we returned.
We have since restored the old mechanical pressure switch which should not be affected by the power cut off which affects the new digital switch which is designed to detect burst pipes.
All of this makes us even more determined to either get a special switch to disconnect from the grid from time to time – or to just completely disconnect.

Here it is in all its glory:
In my study of communist societies, I came to the conclusion that the purpose of communist propaganda was not to persuade or convince, not to inform, but to humiliate; and therefore, the less it corresponded to reality the better. When people are forced to remain silent when they are being told the most obvious lies, or even worse when they are forced to repeat the lies themselves, they lose once and for all their sense of probity. To assent to obvious lies is in some small way to become evil oneself. One’s standing to resist anything is thus eroded, and even destroyed. A society of emasculated liars is easy to control.

Kangaroo Flat. LOL haven’t been there in years, last time I was there I had a decent sesh with a mate in the pub watching the footy. Would have been around 2004. Family I have there live on the other side of Bendigo.
As an undergrad in the early ’90’s K Flat was very working class and housing commission, I used to do delivery driving down there. Remember doing a delivery to a house across from the rail line, a big bloke with a goatee answered the door. Took one look at me and yelled down the hallway “hay fatso your pizza is here.”
Charming place but better than Long Gully anyway.
Oh my.
Scanning my way through various telly-o-vision shows in between reading some other stuff, and stumbled upon an advertisement featuring Adam Goodes – prominent whinger, finger-pointer at teenage girls and general proponent of first-grade sookage.

Last week, Pauline Hanson decided to join in the opprobrium of Mark Latham, all because he spoke some basic truths about homosexual sex in a twitter response to creepy sinister independent Alex Greenwich, who first called Latham a “disgusting human being”. Pauline decided to join in the outrage mob, and called for Latham to apologise. Silly woman.
Anyway, the Daily Telegraph is reporting….
Pauline Hanson slammed over depiction of NDIS in ‘Please Explain’ video
One Nation and Pauline Hanson have been condemned over a video about the NDIS that disability groups have labelled as “hateful and discriminatory”.
Pauline Hanson has been slammed over a video posted on her YouTube channel on the NDIS that appears to make fun of disabled Australians.
The video on the ‘Pauline Hanson’s Please Explain’ account depicts Liberal leaders Peter Dutton and Susan Ley being told they qualify for the NDIS after their shock loss at the Aston by-election.
“The Liberal Party now qualifies for the NDIS … the national disability insurance scam – scheme, scheme, I mean scheme,” a doctor says in the two-minute cartoon clip.
The video goes on to describe the scheme as the “biggest budget blowout yet” and erroneously claims that people with a stubbed toe are eligible for the program, are as Greens voters, because they have a “cognitive disability”.
One clip appears to depict Greens Senator Jordon Steele-John, who uses a wheelchair and is the nation’s first disabled Senator, surrounded by sex workers.
The video was labelled as “repugnant, hateful and discriminatory” by advocacy groups People with Disability Australia (PWDA) and Advocacy for Inclusion (AFI).
“The insensitive cruelty of this propaganda by the Hanson team stoops to new lows, with its offensive, inappropriate and inaccurate depictions of disability supports under the NDIS,” said PWDA President Nicole Lee said.
That call was echoed by Head of Policy at AFI and longtime NDIS campaigner Craig Wallace.
“The video inspires hatred against disabled people and is a particularly nasty and vile depiction of the lives of highly vulnerable people with disability…it should be roundly condemned by all decent Australians including our national leaders,” he said.
The video claimed that conditions like stubbing a toe would allow people to qualify, something that Mr Wallace says “blatantly misrepresents” eligibility, with the reality that the NDIS is “highly limited and constrained to people with permanent and significant impairment”.
Many people still struggle to get basic equipment or personal care, others have had plans cut, and the prolonged assessments and bureaucracy mean that this is hardly a luxury,” he said.
The term “scam” was repeated throughout the video, something Mr Wallace took particular issue with.
“It is also inaccurate to suggest that people with disability are ‘scamming’ the scheme when we know we are actually more likely to be the victims of scams, poor services and rip offs by services and businesses seeking to profit from disabled people,” he said.
PWDA and AFI have called for the video to be removed and “replaced with a public apology to the 4.4 million Australians living with disability”.
NCA NewsWire has contacted Ms Hanson and Mr Steele-John for comment.
When contacted for comment a spokesman for Ms Hanson told NCA NewsWire the Senator was “on a break”
Hey Pauline, I hope you don’t apologise but here’s a thought, perhaps you should apologise to Mark Latham. Oh and Pauline, trying to suck up to the left never works, because they’ve always hated you and they always will.
Hollyweird Boulevard, circa 1977 …
Until then, tramps like us baybee …
Greenwich also labeled Latham as “dangerous” which is probably far mor damaging than “disgusting” which is simply a term of taste or preference.
Dangerous implies something else entirely.

Banking behemoth CEO flaunts federal incompetency and proposes the use of ‘eminent domain’ against American citizens
It’s one of the more bizarre experiences in life to witness the unsuspecting sheep shuffle on towards the abattoir as you openly declare the danger ahead, telling them they are in fact moving towards a grisly death.
What’s even stranger, is when those sheep bleat back, asserting the slaughterhouse is actually a utopia, and once inside, everything will be more just, more free, and more fair.
Of course, the analogy above is akin to the struggle of the awake conservative and how we relate to contemporary everyday leftists. They really have no idea they’re nothing more than pawns, utterly dispensable, and they too will be told to ‘face the wall’ if — as Tucker Carlson labels them — the “lizard overlords in Davos” get their way.
Speaking of whom….
Jamie Dimon, CEO of JPMorgan Chase & Co. and World Economic Forum crony, dispatched a letter to all shareholders just two days ago which contained several revealing tidbits, two of which I will highlight.
The first?
Dimon proposes the seizure of Americans’ private property as a viable path forward for the “green” agenda.
In his words:
We may even need to evoke eminent domain – we simply are not getting the adequate investments fast enough for grid, solar, wind and pipeline initiatives.
As we all know, the Inflation Reduction Act was really just the Green New Deal, with billions of confiscated and unbacked dollars funneled to “green” industries — and now the globalists are openly clawing for our real estate too.
Secondly,
Dimon reveals how deeply inept (or is it putrescent?) the Federal Reserve, and the Biden troupe as a whole really is — and I actually don’t think it was intentional. Speaking to the recent financial fiascos,
Dimon wrote:
Regarding the current disruption in the U.S. banking system, most of the risks were hiding in plain sight. Interest rate exposure, the fair value of held-to-maturity (HTM) portfolios and the amount of SVB’s uninsured deposits were always known – both to regulators and the marketplace.
It is unlikely that any recent change in regulatory requirements would have made a difference in what followed. Instead, the recent rapid rise of interest rates placed heightened focus on the potential for rapid deterioration…. Even worse, the stress testing based on the scenario devised by the Federal Reserve Board (the Fed) never incorporated interest rates at higher levels. This is not to absolve bank management – it’s just to make clear that this wasn’t the finest hour for many players.
“The stress testing based on the scenario devised by… (the Fed) never incorporated interest rates at higher levels.”
If economic “experts” with noteworthy “credentials” couldn’t figure out that raising the rates was going to be the only way to temporarily mitigate the unfettered spending — something even I knew — then they rival Bill Cooper’s example of “the stupidest” people to ever “walk the face of the earth.” Or, they’re not that dumb, and they manufactured the financial crises… central bank digital currency anyone? Either way it remains inarguable — the Fed completely fails at its stated mission “to foster the stability, integrity, and efficiency of the nation’s monetary, financial, and payment systems so as to promote optimal macroeconomic performance.”
So how can we slow the bleeding? Well, Dimon offers us that answer too — albeit seemingly intentionally. Read below:

Rabz quote from Theodore Dalrymple (6:30pm) is one for the ages.
Donald Trump, Tiberius Gracchus, And America’s Imminent End
Donald Trump’s indictment makes one wonder if the members of the Democrat party have ever picked up a history book, walked by one in a library, or accidentally heard an episode of the History of Rome podcast.
I doubt it because if they had, they’d know that Rome didn’t transition from a republic to an empire overnight, and they’d be familiar with the modern iteration of the George Santayana adage:
Those who do not learn history are doomed to repeat it.
By the time Caesar became dictator in 49 BC, the Republic was already gone in everything but name only. The Republic’s collapse had been put in motion 80 years before with the murder of Tiberius Gracchus.
Gracchus was a populist Plebeian tribune, essentially the equivalent of being a member of our House of Representatives. Citizens loved him, and the aristocratic Senate hated him. His assassination points the way to Caesar:
[T]he oligarchy had introduced violence into the political system with the murder of Tiberius Gracchus and over the years the use of violence became increasingly acceptable as various political disputes in Rome led to more and more bloody discord.
With Gracchus’s death, violence became an increasingly common political weapon in Rome, with Sulla’s purges early in the 1st century BC as the clearest example. Sulla executed 9,000 rival Marian partisan supporters, without regard for age or sex.
Three decades later, Caesar would take control, only to lose his life at the hands of a cabal of his establishment rivals. This widespread political violence only came to an end (temporary as it might be) when his adopted son, Augustus, become emperor. Tellingly, however, Augustus achieved that peace only after executing thousands of his political enemies.
Rome devolved from a republic in which domestic politics were decided mostly by words and relatively objective laws, to a dictatorship where laws were anything but objective, and the emperor could take life and property on a whim.
The late Roman Republic had the equivalent of our “Swamp,” which it called the Senate.
While ostensibly there were balancing powers of influence, such as the assemblies, two Consuls (a split executive office with a term of one year) and, occasionally, the appointment of a temporary Dictator, the reality is that the Senate, made up of the richest and most powerful citizens, ran the Republic. Even when one of the assemblies or one of the Consuls seemed to be ascendant, it was the senators calling most of the shots through their relationships with the state officials, familial connections to this or that general, and their control of the purse strings.
So, you have a body of rich and powerful citizens having ostensibly limited power through the visible levers of government, but actually exercising real power through the connections, relationships, and shared ideology of the apparatchiks in the bureaucracy, the opinion makers, and those who indoctrinate the youth who always act as the frontline shock troops. Sound familiar?
Things have changed a lot in 2,000 years, but the nature of man…not so much.
Power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely. As with most things today, political changes happen faster than they did in the past.
America has been loosed from the anchor of the Constitution and the rule of law that kept our citizens free for two centuries.
While the blood of the regime’s enemies may not yet be flowing in the streets, history very clearly tells us that, unless we change what’s happening, it will be.
The question is, are there enough Americans who are familiar with history and willing to pull us out of our national death spiral before that terrible end is upon us?
How Americans respond to Donald Trump’s persecution is the canary in the coal mine that will likely answer that question.
Sounds like a case of the utterly useless irreparably brain damaged imbecile being busted for his hypocrisy. Resulting in one irreversible outcome*
HOP Time™.

“Do you know the difference between justice, and punishment”.
