Hi Cassie
Still looking, found this on the way:
It’s a reasonable assumption that 13% were Officers, so, if your claim of 8% jewish casualties is correct, so is my post that the NKVD killers separated the Jews out.
They just weren’t thorough enough.

If anyone will initiate a first strike, it will be the U.S.
1. They have the most to lose in regards to political and financial power versus the up and coming BRICS agreement.
2. The U.S. is still the only country to this day that has ever actually used a nuclear strike on an enemy.
The Biden 10-Step Plan for Global Chaos
Our enemies do not fear us, our allies judge us unreliable, and neutrals assume America is in descent and too dangerous to join.
By Victor Davis Hanson
Why is French President Emmanuel Macron cozying up to China while trashing his oldest ally, the United States?
Why is there suddenly talk of discarding the dollar as the global currency?
Why are Japan and India shrugging that they cannot follow the United States’ lead in boycotting Russian oil?
Why is the president of Brazil traveling to China to pursue what he calls a “beautiful relationship”?
Why is Israel suddenly facing attacks from its enemies in all directions?
What happened to Turkey? Why is it threatening fellow NATO member Greece? Is it still a NATO ally, a mere neutral, or a de facto enemy?
Why are there suddenly nonstop Chinese threats toward Taiwan?
Why did Saudi Arabia conclude a new pact with Iran, its former archenemy?
Why is Egypt sending rockets to Russia to be used in Ukraine?
Since when did the Russians talk nonstop about the potential use of a tactical nuclear weapon?
Why is Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador bragging that millions of Mexicans have entered the United States, most of them illegally? And why is he interfering in U.S. elections by urging his expatriates to vote for Democrats?
Why and how, in just two years, have a confused and often incoherent Joe Biden and his team created such global chaos?
Let us answer by listing 10 ways by which America lost all deterrence.
1) Joe Biden abruptly pulled all U.S. troops from Afghanistan.
2) The Biden Administration allowed a Chinese high-altitude spy balloon to traverse the continental United States, spying on key American military installations.
3) In March 2021, at an Anchorage, Alaska mini-summit, Chinese diplomats unleashed a relentless barrage at their stunned and mostly silent American counterparts. They lectured the timid Biden Administration diplomats about American toxicity and hypocrisy.
4) In June 2021, in response to Russian cyber-attacks against the United States, Biden meekly asked Putin to at least make off-limits certain critical American infrastructure.
5) When asked what he would do if Russia invaded Ukraine, Biden replied that the reaction would depend on whether the Russians conducted a “minor incursion.”
6) Between 2021 and 2022, Joe Biden serially insulted and bragged that he would not meet Muhammad bin Salman, the de facto ruler of Saudi Arabia, and one of our oldest and most valuable allies in the Middle East.
7) For much of 2021, the Biden Administration made it known that it was eager and ready to offer concessions to re-enter the dangerous Iran nuclear deal—at a time when Iran has joined China and Russia in a new geostrategic partnership.
8) Almost immediately upon inauguration, the administration moved the United States away from Israel, restored financial aid to radical Palestinians, and both publicly and privately alienated the current Netanyahu government.
9) In serial fashion, Biden stopped all construction on the border wall and opened the border. He made it known that illegal aliens were welcome to enter the United States unlawfully. Some 6-7 million did. He reinstated “catch and release.” And he did nothing about the Mexican cartel importation of fentanyl that has recently killed over 100,000 Americans per year.
10) In the last two years, the Pentagon has embarked on a woke agenda. The army is short by 15,000 in its annual recruitment quota. The defense budget has not kept up with inflation. One of the greatest intelligence leaks in U.S. history just occurred from the Pentagon.
This list of these self-inflicted disasters could be easily expanded.
But the examples explain well enough why our emboldened enemies do not fear us, our triangulating allies judge us unreliable, and calculating neutrals assume America is in descent and too dangerous to join.
Yet without America, the result is a new Chinese order in which, to quote the historian Thucydides, “the strong do what they can and the weak suffer what they must.”
The Groogling never stops.
Nuking one ball in his East Prussian rat hole some time in 1943 could’ve done the trick, but that would’ve required a strike launched from Soviet territory.
A very dodgy proposition.
1) the commies would have grabbed the aircraft, crew and nuke.
2)If they didn’t, the B-29 in 1943 would likely not have made it to the target regardless of the efforts of the Luftwaffe because of engine failures and/or fires.
When Bill Bridgeman, Douglas test pilot got the job of flying the D-558 Skyrocket (The US Navy equivalent of the Bell X-1, which most people don’t know about) one of his friends was very concerned about the danger. Not from the Skyrocket but the B-29 carrier aircraft. “Those damn things catch fire all the time”.
The B-29, for all its expense in treasure and blood, was an utter failure at its intended high altitude precision bombing mission so LeMay switched to burning Japanese cities at night with incendiaries dropped from low altitude.

“Hitler saved us from totalitarianism.”
This is correct.
The Wehrmacht destroyed the cream of the Red Army in 1941/42, had Operation Barbarossa not happened, the Soviet Union woulda overrun Europe from Denmark to Portugal that year.
See Suvorov for the detail.

Yeah, I might make that a bit clearer.
Jewish Officers in the Polish Army were probably >13%.
So, the NKVD killers killed 8% of the 22,000 victims at Katyn Forest in error.
Stalin probably had the gunmen shot afterwards anyway and those killers shot too.

Somebody actually appointed this person a VP when she is a complete mess. The Anheiser Busch board are liable for her mistakes.
Pearson’s been race baiting for close to 30 years now. Very much a 90s Keating person. ‘They are racist scum’ sort of thing.
It’s mid-April yet it’s cold enough to be mid-June. Ah, the joys of global warming.
She ain’t Robinson Crusoe on that score.
Pearson and his brother call it “bombing.”
To be fair, you could probably pick any 39yo woman living in New York out of the Marketing department of and FMCG multinational and they would be exactly the same. Which may or may not be a good thing.
It would be smart for the Liberals to resurrect that Pearson quote and send it out to work.
Guess there’s a lot of OPM in race baiting. Working at a real job out of the question for such people. Odious.
The Brits went through nothing like what the Russians went through in the East, either as soldiers or civilians. Agree with your last statement.
The Landcruiser rubber hitting the road now. Youse white c**nts.
Concerning the Pentagon Leaks. If and a bloody big IF, the 21 yo actually leaked them and just wasn’t the administrator of a gaming forum then the Security people will be in deep doo doo. How does a part time Air National Guardsman have access to such info. If it was hacked, what poor data protection protocols are in place. He never would have been in a position to see the material in the first place. OG is supposed to be the one responsible. I reckon OG will not be found and the young guy hung out to dry. More like Deep State at work wanting out of Ukeland and Pedo Joe gone. Please don’t think this as a conspiracy theory coz just about every conspiracy theory has been proved correct lately except for chemtrails, lizard people and electronic Cathedrals.
They had no excuse.
If it’s not dismissed as a conspiracy theory I’m not interested. Except nanowrigglers of course.
I reply in kind these days – fortunately, I have yet to encounter an Aborigine, who speaks Afrikaans..

Pearson was informed the conversation, which took place in the minister’s office, was being recorded.

Trump’s ‘America First’ our last hope
Biden: History’s true monster
By Charles Hurt – The Washington Times – Thursday, April 13, 2023
Whatever you think of Donald Trump, he is a smart businessman, and he is perhaps the shrewdest political observer of our time.
Sure, he’s had business failures. But one thing is true about all successful businessmen: They can tell you all night long about all their failures.
They just don’t dwell on them.
Sure, Mr. Trump has endured his political setbacks. But that is the burden of being a Party of One. He is willing to talk about things and pursue a popular agenda that threatens and terrifies the entire established political power structure.
Anyway, show me one politician anywhere in the world who spent his first seven decades as a businessman and then decides to become a politician in his 70s and right away wins the presidency.
Better yet, go back to all the interviews Mr. Trump did 10, 20, 30 years ago talking about politics.
The dude is clairvoyant when it comes to politics. The dude has a sixth sense. It’s why the powerful political set hates him so much.
Go back and listen to the interviews former shock jock radio host Howard Stern conducted with Mr. Trump before Mr. Stern became a toothless corporate lapdog of the Democratic Party. Mr. Trump’s criticism of foreign trade, the Iraq War and illegal immigration was the same 20 years ago as it is today.
Even back then — as today — Mr. Trump was just as conservative as he was willing to attack the Republican Party. Again, this is why they despise him.
Mr. Trump’s interview earlier this week with Tucker Carlson was Mr. Trump at his very best. He was the shrewd, wise, fearless visionary in a land of dangerous, infantile, ideological lunatics.
As Mr. Carlson said, Mr. Trump is once again talking about things no other politicians are talking about.
Just like in 2016.
Specifically, Mr. Trump sounded the alarm on the grave and gathering threats around the world that threaten the very existence of our country. Grave and gathering threats entirely — and perhaps intentionally — created or invited by the Biden administration.
In two short years, President Biden has managed to undermine American energy production, turned the Taliban into the largest arms dealer the world has ever seen, started a war in Ukraine, aligned our two biggest enemies into a confederacy against us, wrecked the U.S. dollar as the world’s currency, and brought us closer to a nuclear war with Russia than at any point in history.
None of these things happened during Mr. Trump’s presidency because of his lucid, statesmanlike approach to our allies and our enemies around the world.
Most importantly, none of these things happened under Mr. Trump’s presidency because Mr. Trump was guided by a clear, forceful “American First” agenda.
If the Trump Doctrine was “America First,” the Biden Doctrine is “America Last.” Or perhaps “Hunter First” or “Biden Family First.”
After all, Mr. Biden — aka “the Big Guy” — is the kingpin of a sprawling political corruption syndicate that stretches from China to Ukraine and all points in between.
What is particularly amazing about this is that Mr. Trump just fell off the turnip truck in terms of his Washington foreign policy chops. He just arrived on the scene and, after witnessing 40 years of failure at the border, thought it might be a good idea to engage the government of Mexico and threaten to cut off foreign aid if they didn’t stop the flow of illegals coming across the border into the United States.
It worked, of course. Yet nobody in Washington ever thought to try that. Or, if they did, they did not implement it because they were afraid it might work.
After all, Democrats need their indentured voters, Republicans want their indentured workers, and everybody in Washington is afraid to lose a powerful issue that makes them lots of money.
But Mr. Biden is the supreme foreign policy expert in all of Washington. He is — and this is not an exaggeration — an even greater foreign policy expert than John Kerry himself.
Chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. Global mastermind. Mr. Biden has been on every war council of every war since Vietnam. President Barack Obama picked him as vice president because he was such an expert on foreign policy.
Yet no president in history has done more to wreck the world — and America’s standing in it — than Mr. Biden. And he managed to do it in just two years.
The only silver lining here is that Mr. Biden’s disastrous handling of world affairs has highlighted for those clinging to a reality that Donald Trump really was the wisest, most stable statesman to be president in the past 40 years.
Voetsek, man!

Damn straight – my attitude to Europe is that it should be walled off and they can talk to us in 1,000 years when they become civilised in their treatment of each other.

The Ukraine being the latest example. With China eyeing it all off and thinking of how they can benefit on their way to their Destiny of Rulers of Mankind.
Sometimes I despair. Other times I just wish they’d get it over and done with.

Custodian Phil Ugle Jnr said Minninup Pool, a registered Aboriginal site, could be compared to a holy site.
“If you could compare it to a church and a cemetery, or heaven, that’s our place where we do our ceremonies, and feel close to our God and our loved ones that we lost,” he said.
“We believe we take the spirit of our dead and place them there with our creator, so that’s why it’s so significant.”
..
With the grab for the project buried near the end.
Because everyone wants to tur their holy site into an eco-resort.
Mr Ugle said his family had been been consulted about a broader project to upgrade facilities at Minninup Pool, but they had withdrawn that support because of their concerns.
He said news of a separate private eco-tourism project had taken him by surprise and that any such venture should be undertaken by custodians.
Im sure a trojan voice will reconcile the positions.

Shitweasel is so “deeply concerned” that he’s playing the big politics cards:
Fun Facts:
• Florence, the stuck TBM, was commissioned in March 2022;
• Florence’s job is to bore the main 16km headrace tunnel from Tantangara Reservoir to the inclined shaft leading to the turbine hall;
• In September 2022, after only ~150m of tunnelling, Florence became stuck in soft ground conditions that it is technically unable to penetrate;
• Shitweasel was Minister in September 2022;
• Florence is still stuck, while contractors drill and grout the soft and friable ground around and ahead of the TBM to allow: a) the TBM to cut and advance; and b) support to be set;
• From a geotechnical perspective, it is incomprehensible that the ground conditions at the start of the tunnel came as a surprise. Near surface geology is classic ‘Bandit Country’ for any form of excavation – but particularly so for a highly specialised and inflexible TBM.
• These risk issues were identified in the SH2.0 feasibility study. You would expect a huge amount of drilling (including a longreach axial hole) to identify and fix incompetent ground issues before setting off.
But apparently not.

The Full Surveillance Power of the U.S. Govt Could Not Find the Classified Intel Leaker, But the Media Did…
April 13, 2023 – Sundance
Sometimes the obvious answers are in the reality of the obvious part that few pay attention to.
According to the original outline, as presented by the Washington Post last night [Original Story Here], the full surveillance and intelligence power of the United States government was unable to locate the source of the largest leak of U.S. classified intelligence in a decade, but some journalists found a teenager in his mom’s basement with all the answers. This is the story, and they are sticking to it.
I’ve been in enough rabbit holes created by the silos of the intelligence community to know when not to enter one.
First things first, what silo uses the Washington Post?
We all should know by now the same three-letter operators in charge of the Amazon Cloud Service, are the same three-letter operators who use the PR firm known as the Washington Post.
Why the intelligence people from inside the CIA/NSA silo wanted to exploit the teenage gamer with a connection to an intelligence leaker, as the preferred narrative is unknown. However, the DHS details provided in the intelligence community follow-up through the New York Times does provide some clues.
There it is again….
The CIA, DoD, NSA, FBI, DHS and all of the combined systems of the United States intelligence apparatus, the kind that can isolate your location through the mirrored image on a WaWa CCTV camera in Podunk, Mississippi, could not find the 21-year-old originating leaker who was posting details, images and classified data for months in a chat room online.
But the Washington Post and New York Times can isolate, locate, interview, record, broadcast and then name the suspect within 12 hours….
Okay. Gotcha!… and now the government will talk to young Mr. Jack Teixeira about his endeavors. Got it.
I have been in these intelligence creations, and we have traveled into the rabbit hole of their intelligence storylines long enough to spot one when it surfaces.
My gut hunch… Two issues.
The first is the obvious;
the USG was cool with the leaked information because it formed the baseline for a geopolitical change in direction, a pivot away from the quagmire they created in Ukraine. This part is obvious, because if that wasn’t the case the leak cleanup operation would have been silent. The collective IC would have just traced the origin, destroyed the information, pulled in the participants and black-holed the entire mess.
The fact the IC engineered a media narrative for it, pushing the leak story into the mainstream cycle, says the IC had a motive to promote the leak narrative.
Second,
the gaming “sector” has always been a thorn in the side of those who seek to control communication and conduct surveillance therein. They are already in social media platforms, but the gaming platforms were not exploited to scale. The USG has now established a baseline to enter that sphere of communication and networking and begin formal operations in the gaming platforms.
Still, anytime the U.S. Intelligence Community is involved, it is always best practice to watch and remain out of the hole.
The only question you really need to ask yourself is, what aspect of my liberty does this intelligence operation support the removal of?
After all… if only we had the Restrict Act in place, then none of this classified information surfacing on social media would be such a concern, right? Right?

Free French colonial troops in Italy could’ve taught the Red Army
a thing or two about rape and pillage.
Bruce O’Nuke:
It would be interesting to see if the “Chinese economic miracle” has been performed on the back of cheap coal powered energy. Are there ‘reliable’ records on the cost to the consumer of Chinese power?
I ask this because what would happen to growth in Australia if power prices had remained at the point they were at in say, the 70’s? (OK, add in inflation but not the regulatory cost of the increase.)
The point I think I’m trying to discover is why is the Australian economy in such a parlous state and what is the reason for it? At the moment I can only think it is due solely to piss poor government decisions for the last fifty years.
Biden is one of them, that’s why. They had no problem huddling against Trump and laughing about him. Trump, the insolent outsider, had the nerve to tell them a few home truths – unforgivable. Biden will not tell them any truths or even anything cogent.
Glenn Greenwald has a series of contemptuous tweets about the NYT and WaPo hunting down the leaker and handing him over to the FBI.
Journalism.
And the Dobbs leaker? Still can’t find him.
Meanwhile, in the neocon-deranged national daily today, an editorial that calls Edward Snowden – the man who gave up everything to reveal America was illegally spying on its own citizens and ratting on its allies (as it clearly still is) – a “traitor.”
Looks like The Australian have identified Noel Pearson as the weak link in the Yes juggernaut and are looking to take him out.
I can see no reason why Peter Dutton would give them any assistance in such a grubby political move.
It’s an internal Labor Party issue, let them deal with it.
My opinion, Noel Pearson is an [unwitting] asset for the No case.
Something for Elon Musk to aim at.
Free French colonial troops in Italy could’ve taught the Red Army
a thing or two about rape and pillage.
Not sure about that, by 1945 those troops were mostly Asian minorities from the Far East and Tartars.
Free French colonials were Senegalese.
Franco also used Black African troops to terrorise Spanish civilians during the Civil War.
Winston, I also remember the unions making a lot of trouble at the time that manufacturers found it easier to set up in Asia where they were not bothered by them and could plan on the actual cost of production.

Hi Cassie
Still looking, found this on the way:
Among one million Polish soldiers fighting the Germans in September 1939, 13 percent (130,000) were Polish Jews, who fought in all branches of Polish Armed Forces.
It’s a reasonable assumption that 13% were Officers, so, if your claim of 8% jewish casualties is correct, so is my post that the NKVD killers separated the Jews out.
They just weren’t thorough enough.
Grandpa Ed Simpson
An alternative possibility is that, when it was clear that the campaign was lost, the Jewish officers had a greater incentive to join the many Poles who escaped to the west, to continue the war from there. This would have reduced the percentage among those captured.

* I’d say Wikipedia is a better source here, it says 600 died at Katyn Forest, which is 2.7%, not 8%.
What’s the origin of your 8% figure, Cassie of Sydney?
A later tweet links to slightly higher res video. To my eye, he spent 4 seconds [0:14-0:18] shaking Sunak’s hand before brushing him aside, but then he spent 10 seconds [0:19-0:29] shaking hands with the military-looking guy.
So it’s a bit of both.

Dementia Myths
13TH APRIL 2023
Dementia is now said to be the commonest cause of death among the elderly. This is nonsense. The commonest causes of death among the elderly are a) untreated pneumonia b) starvation and dehydration because food and water have been withheld.
Here are some more facts about dementia – taken from my book The Dementia Myth. ‘The diagnosis, treatment and reporting of dementia is a massive and previously unrecognised scandal. The staggering fact is that most cases of dementia could probably be cured in a week or two – maybe a little longer with some patients. Anyone who says otherwise is either woefully misinformed or a drug company mouthpiece.
Around the world there are estimated to be around 50 million people suffering from dementia – though this figure is probably on the low side. One half of all the patients admitted to nursing homes are said to be suffering from dementia of one sort or another.
Millions of patients who have been diagnosed with dementia are being looked after by their families. Many family members have had to abandon their jobs and their normal lives in order to find the necessary time to provide care for their loved ones. Millions more patients have been dumped in hospitals and nursing homes where they sit or lie, waiting to die.
No one knows how many millions of as yet undiagnosed individuals are struggling to cope with dementia, either alone or with the help of relatives, friends and neighbours.
The commonest diagnosis for all these patients is Alzheimer’s disease. It is widely reputed that two thirds of patients with dementia are suffering from Alzheimer’s. Indeed, Alzheimer’s has in many countries become the default diagnosis. If a patient has dementia then they will be assumed to be suffering from Alzheimer’s and little or no effort will be made to find any other diagnosis. The drug companies, the big charities, the media and even some doctors seem to promote the view that the words `dementia’ and `Alzheimer’s’ are pretty well interchangeable.
The prognosis for those diagnosed as suffering from Alzheimer’s disease is a gloomy one for, despite many promises, there is still no cure for this disease, nor is there any sign of a cure on the horizon. Drug companies have produced a number of prescription only drugs recommended for use with Alzheimer patients and alternative health care practitioners produce new remedies on an almost daily basis.
Despite all the promotion given to Alzheimer’s disease, there is however, clear evidence that many so-called dementia sufferers who have been diagnosed as suffering from Alzheimer’s disease have been misdiagnosed. They are suffering from something quite different and could be cured – often completely and frequently within weeks or even days.
This short book is intended simply to draw attention to this scandal and to provide pointers for those who feel that a loved one may have been misdiagnosed. My aim is not to provide a comprehensive guide to any of the diseases which cause dementia but, rather, to offer direction for those who might otherwise be led into a fateful diagnosis when other more hopeful possibilities might exist.
Some patients who have dementia will, of course, have Alzheimer’s disease, and will be incurable. But if just one patient can be rescued from a faulty diagnosis and returned to an active, productive life then writing this book will have been well worthwhile.’
Taken from Dementia Myth by Vernon Coleman, now available as a paperback and an eBook on Amazon. Dementia Myth explains why and how dementia is misdiagnosed – and describes the three diseases (vitamin B12 deficiency, normal pressure hydrocephalus and the overprescribing of tranquillisers) which are most commonly mistaken for Alzheimer’s disease.

Now explain how so many Poles did not escape to the west, where they operated warships, provided multiple Polish squadrons in the RAF, and several divisions of soldiers, who fought in North Africa, Italy, and North-West Europe.

A review of existing studies investigating online romance fraud (TechXplore, 13 Apr)
“”Romance fraud has been growing over the last decade or so and was exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic which saw a surge in cybercrime and cyberattacks,” Dr. Lynsay Shepherd, one of the researchers who carried out the study, told Tech Xplore. “Our paper provides a comprehensive overview of romance fraud research, which could serve as a starting point for future research in the field.”
…
In their paper, Dr. Shepherd and her colleagues also identify some characteristics that make people more vulnerable to becoming victims of online romance fraud schemes. These include a high level of engagement in trying to find a partner, especially an international partner, a poor understanding of online scams, limited computer skills, and impulsive personality traits. Well-educated single women who are between 35 and 54 years old appeared to be at a particularly high risk of becoming targets of dating scams.“

Prof Norman Fenton “Two days ago I posted what I thought would be quite an innocuous twitter thread about the implications of the U.K. Government’s target of ‘Net Zero’ by 2050. Specifically, I showed this graphic from the U.K. Government-funded FIRES project that summarised its recommended necessary strategy to achieve Net Zero by 2050 based only on evolutionary technological developments (the report it’s from has been around since 2021 and I’ve even posted about it before).My twitter thread highlighted the eye-watering points that the strategy required:
All airports in the U.K. except Heathrow, Belfast and Glasgow to close by 2030.
No flying at all by 2050.
No new petrol or diesel cars by 2030.
By 2050 road use restricted to 60% of today’s level.
Food, heating and energy restricted to 60% of today’s level by 2050.
Beef and lamb to be phased out by 2050.
I said that, apart from the extreme limitations on personal freedom and travel, this means either a colder, hungrier population or massive depopulation.
Within less than 24 hours the tweet had amassed well over three million impressions (by far the highest I’ve ever achieved).” More here https://dailysceptic.org/2023/04/13/no-flying-by-2050-is-the-world-finally-waking-up-to-what-net-zero-really-means/
So consider the Russian action in the light of killing the smartest of the Polish people.
I’ve read lots of theories that come to this conclusion .. that the massacre main criteria was to nullify the Polish intelligentsia threat to Soviet occupation ….
Camille Paglia has argued for some time now that transgenderism is very much an attack on men being men, accused of ‘toxic masculinity’ and softened up by what she sees happening in every culture that was in its decline – from Ancient Greece and Rome and into the ‘sophisticated’ urban cultures of today – that thing being a loss of sexual identities and a move towards androgeny, where male warriors are disparaged and female women are also urged towards androgenous styles and identities. Basically, a melding of sexual expression, a refusal to recognise biological differences, so that there is no longer a clear male and female. Men lose out as well as women as each sex is forced to mould itself according to androgenous (no difference) dictates.
I find it interesting though that both men and women who ‘transition’ tend to opt for a very stereotyped depiction of their new gender, so this would require explanation too. Overall though, the trend may still be towards androgeny, removing real sex differences and keeping only its symbols.
So consider the Russian action in the light of killing the smartest of the Polish people.
Sure.
Yet Wiki says only 500-600 jews died at Katyn Forest [2.7%].
What percentage of Graduates were Jews?
If it’s significantly higher than 2.7%, then the NKVD killers spared at least some of the Jewish Officers.
So consider the Russian action in the light of killing the smartest of the Polish people.
The Soviets weren’t Russians.
Mem, Professor Norman Fenton offers a quick reality check. Those voting for feelgood ideas like Net Zero need one badly. I hope his tweet makes it big in Australia too. Worth putting it out where we can, asking how to update it for our own mad rush to economic suicide. For instance, which airports are to close, who will be allowed to travel and where? How much poorer will we get? Just for a start …

I wonder how the Anheuser Busch brewing group is going to manage the sacking of the hair-brained frightbat responsible for the decimation of the sales of the group’s famous Bud Light beer because she hired a male homosexual dressed as a woman as a PR gimmick to promote the brand — a gimmick that has backfired spectacularly with Bud Light’s (mostly male) drinkers.
Anheuser Busch is saying only that the gimmick’s author, Alissa Gordon Heinerscheid, who joined the company only last year, made a “mistake” after announcing she wanted to ditch Bud Light’s “fratty” history.
If the Anheuser Busch board doesn’t fire her, I’d be astonished if there isn’t a shareholder revolt at the next annual meeting.

They can’t do anything because every investigation is nobbled by the activists ensuring the individuals shut up. We’ll never get reliable data but there are proxies, such as STD rates in the teenagers.
That is just one example. The indigenous issue is so corrupted by vested interests, dishonest academics, and compliant journalists that I can’t blame the pollies for not doing anything. The problem isn’t with the pollies, it is with the indigenous activists, the academics, and the journalists. Until some of them start breaking ranks nothing will change.
The game is rigged. It’s terribly frustrating but that’s the reality.
And while I’m on the subject, Noel Pearson said that once the Voice is passed, they’ll be able to do whatever they want. Nothing we didn’t already know, but it’s always good to hear it from the horse’s mouth. I heard it myself with my own ears. I won’t say where, I won’t say when, but he said it.ay his hubris be his downfall.
Also, another activist admitted that now one agenda item has been achieved, she can concentrate on the rest.
The disciplinary action should be immediate dismissal. If you are an officer of the peace that has fabricated evidence, perjured yourself, and been a part of conspiracy to indict an innocent man, there should be no second chances. Further, they should have to face criminal charges for perjury, conspiracy, and the like. Zero tolerance for this sort of mendacity.

Besides which, the current incumbent of the see of Canterbury is a mealy-mouthed squib whose backbone appears to have been removed when he was consecrated. As are result of his failure to lead he’s about to preside over the break-up of the worldwide Anglican communion.

Without the implications of damage wrought through delaying/disbanding or featherbedding projects along the way.
Its the perfect job. there is no service delivery role, therefore any failure of a project can be blamed on ‘under resourcing”.
So every proposal can have the most gold plated funding recommended safe in the knowledge that either the government of the day funds the bullshit, or they get the blame for insufficient funding later on when it inevitably fails.

The Coming New York Exodus
“A new study found that 27% of New Yorkers plan to relocate out of the state within the next five years. New York once represented the symbol of American prosperity and growth. People dreamed of living life in the “Big Apple” and America’s international image was largely portrayed at the New York fairytale in films and books. Yet, New York no longer resembles what it once was.
The study said 70% of people are still happy to live there, but 30% wish they lived elsewhere. In addition to those who said they plan to leave within the next five years, 31% stated they plan to retire out of state. They did not poll respondents on taxes. Safety is one of the top concerns and the study shows that about half of respondents no longer feel safe in New York, with good cause. Two-thirds naturally said that the state is unaffordable.
“Democrats, those over 50, white residents and those 35-49 rate the state most highly while through the eyes of Republicans, independents, Blacks and those earning under $50K a year, the state receives the lowest grades,” a researcher said. It is hard to imagine someone earning under $50K could comfortably live in New York. The true problem is crime and the light on crime lawmakers who let violent criminals roam freely after repeated offenses.
Felonies in the city of NY rose 20.4% in 2022 compared to 2021. “Things in a large city aren’t supposed to grow that much or go down that much in one year,” said Former NYPD supervisor Chris Hermann, now an assistant professor at Manhattan’s John Jay College of Criminal Justice. “This is kind of like monumental kind of stuff,” he stated, “like once in a lifetime.” Rape cases increased by 17% in one year, grand theft rose by 25% (auto grand larceny by 32%), felony assaults increased by 15%, and burglary rose by 27%. NYC Mayor Eric Adams has failed at his job by emboldening criminals with relaxed laws.”

Wyoming, noted for being full of Trump-haters.
Heck, you’ll find “Trump” posters inside barn doors, where usually there’s only western-themed calendars from horse-feed companies.
In the key states of Georgia, Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wyoming Trump went to bed with big leads but woke up to find biden ahead. It’s a miracle!
The Republic died in 2020.
The corpse is still thrashing around though.
Ta, shatterzzz. A good link.
Well now Im convinced….
Kerry O’Brien gives impassioned defence of Indigenous voice to parliament at hearing
Former ABC journalist tells joint select committee on voice wording that it is a ‘simple and unambitious and unthreatening’ proposal
If you cant trust a lifelong political hack/ABCcess catamite to expose the warts and all possibilities, well, who can you trust?
O’Brien, who said he has been “sitting in the box seat of history for more than 50 years” as a journalist and government adviser, said the voice was a “simple and unambitious and unthreatening” proposal that should have the chance “to mature and grow and evolve, just as the parliament of Australia did.”
O’Brien has authored a book with pro-voice campaigner Thomas Mayo, and they were appearing in that capacity before the committee.

John H:
The indigenous issue is so corrupted by vested interests, dishonest academics, and compliant journalists that I can’t blame the pollies for not doing anything. The problem isn’t with the pollies, it is with the indigenous activists, the academics, and the journalists. Until some of them start breaking ranks nothing will change.
The game is rigged. It’s terribly frustrating but that’s the reality.
That’s a valid point, John.
I most strongly disagree. The ‘Pollies’ have the power to change the situation. However, these days there is not one strong ‘Pollie’ to change anything at all.
Something better change –

What a Pompous Windbag and a ‘has been’. Journalist? and Guv’ment Adviser? BS.

“I most strongly disagree. The ‘Pollies’ have the power to change the situation.”
Well, of course the pollies have the power.
But the activists, academics and journalists aren’t giving them the motivation to do anything.

The Soviets were comprised of Russians, Ukrainians, Georgians, etc. I remember seeing a pic recently on twitter about the distribution of funding and goods to regions under Soviet rule. The preferences weren’t in favour of that part which comprises Greater Russia.

So, your Member of Parliament is in the pocket of a so called activist and a so called academic and a so called journalist? In that case, I hope that you didn’t vote for him/her or it. Otherwise…………………….
His department has not been abolished. They are returning to the Greiner model of a small Cabinet Office to look after policy and a Premier’s Department to handle all the statutory functions.
Also, it’s hardly a ‘bloodbath’ when only three senior executives have been removed, and one of them has been kept on to run Treasury for the forseeable.
It seems likely that most of the NSW SES are already more than happy to go along with the Labor government. Why not? The policies are almost indistinguishable.
Donald Trump Jnr. interviews Catturd starting at 27 min. Someone with a sense of humour and no hesitation about speaking the truth has become one of the biggest sensations on Twitter. I have to say Don Jnr.’s voice is pretty irritating. Someone should tell him to stop shouting.
