The Hypersonic Missile Vulnerability That NO ONE Talks About
Bruce of Newcastle. Perhaps you are correct about the problems with hypersonic missiles. Sandboxx noted that the USAF prototype was prematurely cancelled, not enough development time. It also pointed out that the hypersonic cost 100 million+. For that cost 80 Tomahawks could be used and be more lethal.

Oxfordshire is ultra-woke, and the luvvies who run the joint have no idea about farming or commerce.

It would be terrifying to work out what % of commercial media money is from government/”charities” & QUANGOs.
Id estimate the local AM station would be lucky if private enterprise took up 50% of the advertising time.
Assigning them “50% government media” would be a start.
A couple of times, I had a quick count of pages in our local freebie paper.
Of the 32 pages, at least eight (three or four full pages, multiple half pages) were advertisements paid for by the local federal and state MPs and the local council. Add in some articles on the activities of the council, based on PR handouts, and a page of police reports, and at least a third was provided directly or indirectly by government.
Hopefully(vainly?) someone will whisper to the police that at the first opportunity charge her with a criminal offense. Would that be sufficient to have her removed?

I don’t think it was me John. I read the occasional article on hypersonic missiles and etc. The air breathing scram engines are interesting but haven’t panned out so well…I think. I’m just not up with the field. I suspect Russia’s and China’s hypersonic missiles are just ordinary missiles that go very fast. ICBMs after all are able to reach orbital velocity. There’d be issues with targeting, fuzing and heat control I suppose. But I will reiterate – I just haven’t talked about them much if at all. I’ve probably wrote in this comment more about them that I would have in the last five years. Really think you were discussing them with someone else, like Eyrie maybe.
Several weeks ago I stated that the go woke go broke meme was a joke. Corporations aren’t doing this because of external pressure. They do their market research.

That’s the emerging market, corporations ignore it at their peril.

Fair enough old son. Me getting old, mem failures and all that. The Russian missiles are not modern hypersonics, just rebadged older missiles. The other issue that occurred to me is that at such high speeds, a tiny targeting error is a huge miss.

John – I ain’t no spring chicken either! They do sound logical developments to me for attacking US carrier groups with nukes. US anti-missile defense tech has improved a lot, so it’d be in the interest of both Russia and China to find a way to overcome that. Hypersonic speed plus a chunky nuke would do it.
For use in Ukraine with conventional warheads I would think they’re probably a bit pricey. You could buy a hundred slow Iranian drones for one of them, and quantity is its own quality – especially when antiaircraft missiles probably cost a lot more than one of the drones.

RBA needs to ‘change the way they go about things’ including interest rate changes, Jim Chalmers says
Treasurer says he will engage with opposition and crossbench on legislative changes around central bank
I seem to recall reading he was in favor of union/wukkas rep being added to the board..
The central bank and governor, Philip Lowe, need to “change the way that they go about things” including interest rate changes, the treasurer, Jim Chalmers, has said ahead of the release of long-awaited reviews into the Reserve Bank and the welfare rate.
At a Canberra press conference on Monday, Chalmers said this week would see the finalisation of “many, if not most, of the remaining decisions” in the federal budget, which is due to be released on 9 May. The prime minister, Anthony Albanese, and many other ministers are in Canberra this week for budget meetings.
The review into the RBA will be released within days, the treasurer said, adding that he had already spoken to Lowe about its findings, and would soon engage with the federal opposition and crossbench as its recommendations would require legislative changes.
“My view is that the recommendations should be beyond party politics in this building … I genuinely want this to be bipartisan*,” he said.
“There are some that would require the governor and the board to change the way that they go about things at the bank.”
*Because nothing says “bipartisan” like letting the Mos Elsey cantina of a crossbench get involved.

Fair enough old son. Me getting old, mem failures and all that. The Russian missiles are not modern hypersonics, just rebadged older missiles. The other issue that occurred to me is that at such high speeds, a tiny targeting error is a huge miss.
Waaaaay back in the 1980s, the Soviets had an air to surface anti-shipping missile. It flew very high, beyond the slant range of the then SAMs for most of its flight, and was supersonic. When close to the target, it dived at it near vertically, and at supersonic speed. Even if hit by close in defence systems, the fragments would wreak havoc with aerials of all kinds, and damage the superstructure.
The hypersonic bit is a performance boost to that type of missile, but targeting a moving target on the final phase could be difficult, as once committed to a hypersonic dive, I wonder how manoeuverable they would be? Without a broad area warhead, a miss may be as good as a mile?

It appears to me to be a chick thing that’s more to do with oestrogen levels than principle.
As a mother of three, Deves is a more mature defender of commonsense and Markson should recommit to listening to her guests, not talking over them like Andrew Blot.
As Ted Whitton would sat, Markson needs to have a good long look at herself.

Bear in mind also that Pearson was baptised, raised and educated as a Lutheran Christian. This is significant because of the odd, ahistorical presentation of “indigenous spirituality” in the document, even though that “spirituality” is key to the argument about aboriginal connection to the land.

Mosman councillor Libby Moline has taken aim at Mosman High School students who she claims are often glued to their phones while crossing busy streets outside the Military Rd campus.
Her comments were made during a council meeting where a majority of councillors supported plans for a new pedestrian zebra crossing outside the school gates.
Ms Moline said there were already four zebra crossings in the area, and the proposal to build a fifth would be “overkill”.
“This is the most ridiculous suggestion to put this pedestrian crossing when there are already four crossings on Military Rd,” she said. “These kids walk out in front of you – they don’t even look up, they’re young adults who are 13-18 years olds and you’re treating them like babies. It’s helicoptering.
“Why can’t they look left and right, then cross the road? “We do not need another pedestrian crossing for these student. Honestly it’s just pathetic.”

‘Activist’ Bureau of
Meteorology fuels climate
politics
MAURICE NEWMAN
Almost a decade ago, in September 2014, The Australian published a series of
reports questioning the methodology of the Bureau of Meteorology. It revealed
startling claims that the BOM was wilfully ignoring evidence that contradicts its
own propaganda. These reports centred on temperature adjustments and the fact
private meteorologists could not satisfactorily replicate the bureau’s so-called
“homogenisation” process.
In 2017, thanks to the diligence of scientist Jennifer Marohasy, the bureau was
caught red-handed regulating temperatures to keep them above a predetermined
minimum, including at least two NSW automatic weather stations. And she
continues to question why perfectly good raw data is manipulated to turn a cooling
trend into a warming one.
Dr Marohasy is not alone. Independent auditor Ken Stewart has studied thousands
of records and has consistently demonstrated the BOM has a case to answer,
accusing it of frequent data manipulation, which improbably cools the past to warm
the present.
When asked to explain its methodology, the BoM’s standard practice is to stonewall.
This fortress mentality runs deep and slavishly adheres to the international global
warming agenda.
This has been apparent since the first Climategate emails were leaked in 2009. East
Anglia University’s Phil Jones referred to Australia “inventing” the December 1995
monthly value. There was also reference to Australian scientists who “would like to
see the section on variability and extreme events beefed up if possible”.
For climate catastrophists, the bureau’s land temperatures are obliging. Indeed, the
BOM couldn’t wait to declare January 7, 2018, Sydney’s hottest day, only to correct it
when it was advised that the now closed Richmond weather station had
experienced a higher temperature in 1939.
The bureau also stands accused of giving Mother Nature an occasional helping
hand. Consider the time it placed a solar panel pointed at Sydney’s main weather
station at Observatory Hill, only for it to mysteriously disappear after questions
were raised by The Daily Telegraph. Nevertheless, its strategic placement raised
concerns about whether it was there to avert – for the first time in 163 years of
Sydney Observatory monitoring – the temperature failing to rise above 32C for an
entire year. It maintains a similar practice with thermometers adjacent to airport
runways and carparks, atop sugar loaders and next to air conditioner units. No
wonder it consistently records higher temperatures than more accurate lower troposphere
satellites and weather balloons.
Today the bureau has become an activist, simultaneously publishing reports and
giving media interviews claiming a temperature increase of 1.5C would devastate
the planet. Meanwhile, the bureau’s chief executive, Andrew Johnson, maintains the
“integrity of its records is at its core”, a claim that has as much credibility as “there is
no bias at the ABC”.
But why the secrecy? The bureau claims it has more important things to do than to
provide data. But surely its methodology is not commercial-in-confidence?
Indeed taxpayers, who pay more than a million a day for this agency, have a right to
know. The integrity of historical temperature data has a direct bearing on
government policy and people’s budgets.
As The Australian’s Graham Lloyd reveals – after more than three years of
investigation and the intervention of the Administrative Appeals Tribunal – scientist
John Abbot’s FOI request for parallel data to be released has been granted.
This is the first time measurements using updated electronic probes in automatic
weather stations, alongside mercury thermometers, could be independently
analysed.
The bureau has long claimed the readings are identical but now we know
measurements using the new electronic probes at the Brisbane Airport site could be
reporting temperatures up to 0.7C warmer than those taken using a traditional
thermometer at the same time at the same site – a dramatic difference.
The bureau is in denial. But analysis of the released data shows that across the
three-year period, probes returned temperatures higher than the mercury
thermometers placed alongside them 41 per cent of the time. Once again, the
bureau’s credibility and, indeed, its integrity are in tatters. Any claims it now makes
about unprecedented climate events must be treated with utmost suspicion.
For years Dr Marohasy has argued the Australian data is not WMO compliant, and
the latest information suggests she is right. Yet the scorn she and Dr Abbot have
endured for daring to question the validity of Australia’s climate records is shameful.
In 2015, former PM Tony Abbott called for a thorough review of the BOM. But then
environment minister Greg Hunt deflected the task to a bureau-friendly panel.
Eight years on, governments are still hostage to the bureau; afraid to question the
data lest it invalidate the rationale behind their emissions reduction policies.
British author and journalist Christopher Booker predicts: “When future
generations look back on the global warming scare of the past 30 years, nothing
will shock them more than the extent to which the official temperature records –
on which the entire (global warming) panic ultimately rested – were systematically
‘adjusted’ to show the Earth as having warmed much more than the actual data
justified.” Indeed.
What the parallel data from Brisbane Airport shows is that there are problems with
the temperature data even before it is adjusted. We now know the transition from
mercury thermometers to probes in automatic weather stations has created its own
discontinuities. With the planet not behaving like models predicted, this means
government emissions abatement policies are based on hot air.

Apropos that comment, it’s worth repeating that, according to the Commonwealth’s own figures, indigenous interest in the land, through one form of legal title or another, covers c. 57% of the continental land mass and that is figure growing (I’ll have to check re Tasmania and other islands).
The potential to disrupt economic and other activity on land and sea conducted by non-indigenous folk is already real, as was recently demonstrated with the closure of an NT fishery at short notice.
It will only be amplified by the Voice.

Bruce O’Nuke:
Lets go back to basics. A 1 Mt mine laid in front of a carrier in a restricted waterway a few days before the fleet goes through will be undetectable. Mines can be set to detect and identify a particular ships noise as a routine addition.
1 Mt even a mile away from a carrier will set up a tsunami that will sink it.
Failing that, a 400Kt warhead on a torpedo once launched will sink anything near it.
So while everyone is looking for hypersonic ‘carrier killers’ the vulnerability is under the waves and nearly silent.

Also consider, it is probably quite possible to make long range underwater drones, similar to Iran’s kamikaze drones.
A decent amount of those could present many issues.

Minefields are statistical equations. The ocean is big. Really really big. You can do them by guessing where a ship needs to go then lay a minefield in that location. But with 1 Mt nukes? You’ll swiftly run out of money, and uranium, trying to do that.
Stealthy underwater drones are a way to go, yes, but a Mach 10 missile is going to be quite hard to stop. Sometimes brute force beats stealth.

All this disparagement of the Waugal – which I know as The Rainbow Serpent.
I love this guy! I have a beautiful bark painting of the big fella in a perspex frame at the farm. Our valley is often called the “valley of the rainbow serpent” as we have a frequent rainbow form in the middle of the valley – which, from our perspective, appears in our middle paddock.
I instinctively feel it is the omen of good times. Don’t know whether this conforms to the mob’s beliefs.

Japan’s leaders have tried numerous pro-natalist policies to arrest the decline. This includes more money for child care, longer maternity and paternity leave, and paying mothers a lump-sum of 500,000 yen (about $3,700) per baby. Nothing has worked.

Kenny has been showing the footage of some ugly old sheila calling Dutton’s remarks a dog act. He’s blathering on about how the ALPBC is calling for Dutton and Jacinta to report child abuse to the Police.
What’s the point when even the Magistrates up there state that “when a twelve year old girl asks for a smoke from a group of abo men in their twenties, she knows what to expect”.
When the Great Man, Fred Hollows was working in Queensland to try and fix dreadful eye diseases which were endemic amongst the local Abos, the Queensland Government stopped any reporting on The Great Man’s Work as, if the information became Public Knowledge, it could “hurt Tourism” in their state. This was in the Seventies. Nothing has changed. The “White Abos” would love to ring-fence the darker ones ala “Planet of the Apes” to use when necessary for their own ends. They don’t give a rat-f#ck how many of those children die from neglect, rape, bashings, venereal disease etc. They are zoological exhibits to be used when expedient.
I will try to find the info that I read years ago about the number of children under the age of ten whom suffered from any STD you have ever heard of and then some. This was over forty years ago. There were also eyewitness accounts of ten year olds running down 3-5 year olds to sexually abuse them because that’s all they ever knew themselves. In the street, not caring who saw them.

There is no running from the Wagyl. It is now 3000kms long.
He/she/it/they/them first popped up in the old Swan Brewery in Perth on land reclaimed by debbil- debbil whitey and since then has been spotted at numerous exploration sites, mine sites, cattle stations and up North as far as the Ord River and the (now closed) Argyle diamond mine.
The Wagyl can be soothed with liberal applications of Munni.
Bruce O’Nuke:
The Stonefish torpedo/mine.
If we have them, I cannot see why China or Russia do not have them.
Couple one to a 400Kt nuke. Put it in a restricted waterway like the straits of Malacca, or the Sunda Strait where US carrier fleets route from Pacific to Indian Ocean.
Was it The Waugul that stopped Forrest building a feedlot that dumped effluent into a pristine river?
In a move that should come as no surprise, Twiggy has now replaced the wagyl at the old Swan Brewery.
No. You’re thinking of Captain Detmers.
He found a scab Waugul to do the job for half the price?
No US admiral worth the brains of a sea cucumber would sail through the Sunda Strait in war time.
There’s a lot of sea. Especially for ships using nuclear propulsion.
The Russians’ Poseidon system is a potential game changer though. Although MAD still works, which I’m sure Mr P and Mr X are entirely aware of.
Winston
Lets go back to basics. A 1 Mt mine laid in front of a carrier in a restricted waterway a few days before the fleet goes through will be undetectable. Mines can be set to detect and identify a particular ships noise as a routine addition.
1 Mt even a mile away from a carrier will set up a tsunami that will sink it.
Failing that, a 400Kt warhead on a torpedo once launched will sink anything near it.
So while everyone is looking for hypersonic ‘carrier killers’ the vulnerability is under the waves and nearly silent.
Using nukes that big is excessive. A wake-homing torpedo with a large HE warhead will do the job quite adequately.
The collection of essays “The Young Menzies:Success, Failure, Resilence 1894 – 1942” makes good reading.
Most Australians know how Menzies acquired his nickname “PigIron Bob”, during a dispute over the loading of pig iron bound for Japan, in 1938. It seems that, when the strikers wrote to John Curtin, seeking support, he talked to them “like they were naughty boys” and told them that, if Labor was in Government, “they would still have to load the pig iron. Pages 104 – 105.
On 9th May, 1939, well after Germany’s invasion of Czechoslovakia, Curtin argued that he understood how the German people could accept that National Socialism had delivered them economic safety, when the people of the democracies were queuing for the dole. Pages 105 – 6.
You really do know fvck all, Grogarly.

You are not capable of thinkin’. All that you can do is troll, mindlessly.
Bruce O’Nuke:
We’re not at war Bruce.
Think it through – the Chinese are getting pissed off at the Freedom of Navigation ships going between Taiwan and China.
What better way to stymie them than to have a US Carrier Fleet have an ‘accident’ in a restricted waterway, claim the US is too careless with its nukes and forbid the FoN exercises between China and Taiwan? All the nations in those waterways would ban all military shipping immediately.
China wins and the US gets the blame for the explosion.
It’s about plausible deniability for China.
I’m sure Sun Tzu has a rule for this kind of subterfuge.

Medium: Television, both FTA & Sky
Search: Reality TV
Conclusion: Every channel has tonight run – seemingly on endless loop – the latest episode of the unscripted but fair dinkum Real Senators of the Australian Parliament.
Except one channel – guess which channel has not mentioned the Melbourne statement from the Arse?
Caught the Sharri Markson interview with Catherine Deves. She was clearly out to attack Deves and might as well have been the ABC.
Not impressed with Markson and not much interest to listen to her show.
Stay out of my way.
Plenty of lumps under the Brittany rug (no pun intended).
The Senate is the actually the closest thing to Constitutionally recognised reality TV. Proportional representation MAFS.
Just caught up with it myself.
Ms. Markson went for her like a rabid dog. She certainly went waaaay beyond “holding a politician (candidate) to account”. Quentin Dempster will be jealous.
You’re not wrong, Mrs. Deves would have gotten a much fairer hearing from the ABC.

I read the Scruby article. He took them to court and recovered his money.
Beware chasing ‘green’ investments on the internet.
Seems a lot of people think they are too cluey to bother going into their bank branch or speak to a financial adviser about investing their money just need to speak on the phone to people called ‘Mark Taylor’ or ‘Dave Warner’ with plummy English accents.
That Doris took CBA on re her $260,000 and lost.
I think most,if not all, tellers would be very reluctant to transfer $260,000 to a random account for a customer.
We aren’t told exactly how she organised the transfer.
