More from ULU?U
The fancy 5 star resort at Ulu?u. Rooms were raided by kids tonight. 5 guests cars stolen. Some while guests were asleep in the room.

Yeah but Wran had power stations built eg Mt Piper

Allowing for utilities to be built (or doing it otherwise), balancing the budget and keeping a general level of the King’s Peace & adequately maintaining and staffing the defence forces is the bare minimum we should expect from government.

Peter Costello deserved no credit for a job well done. His level of performance was simply the minimum expectation!

Black Ball, Dan’s ‘Big Build’ has never been anything but two things:

1/ Keep union mates in work

2/ Get so many people and their families hooked on government work and money that they become a Labor voting block.

The Danfilth did so well at last year’s election in large part because people voted with their wallets.

Now the corrupt bastard has had the last laugh. ‘You thought I’d keep the money flowing? Suckers!’

How to teach reading and counting? Board games.

Monopoly. Adds a touch of capitalist competition and blatant self-interest, with Chance, the Sword of Damocles, always lurking in the wings to fall on the unprepared. Community Chest rewards virtue and punishes evil. And then there is basic income support (passing Go). They love it and learn so much.

What did they know that we didn’t?

Nothing that anyone can’t find out with a bit of Googlin’.
They looked at Power Stations, Oil Refineries being closed, infrastructure that wasn’t built, and worked out the optimum population with similar standards of living in 2025.
From memory, it was 9 million for Australia, about 150 million for America, 30 million for the UK.
2nd world Countries such as Russia and China had no population change.
2 ways to look at it:
#1. There’s going to be a massive decline in population very quickly in the West..
#2. Living standards in the West are going to fall drastically.

History is replete with useless braindead … . The question I used to ask myself is why are there so many bad leaders? The answer is that there are sufficient numbers of people who vote with their gut and not their head. People believe bravado and confidence are the marks of superiority. Those are also the tactics of sociopaths. If we vote with our head, often we wouldn’t vote. We don’t vet our potential leaders the way we do for every other field of human activity. That has bene a lifelong puzzle for me. The people making the decisions that determine the future of the country are often unqualified for the task. Chalmers did his Ph.D on Keating. Wouldn’t even need a calculator for that and yet he is our treasurer. We trust our guts and all we get is what comes out at the end.

This is why I believe in, wait for it…

Sortition
Term limits
Subsidiarity
Confederalism
Recall elections
Jury nullification
CIR to vote down bad laws
Sunset clauses on all legislation

In more detail. It’s not perfect yet.

No Federal government. The Presidency rotates between the states every two years.
I’d have 5 year terms for the lower house and the upper house appointed by the lower house in a half rotation in each state.
Once picked by sortition, a candidate needs to be approved by the local council and their electorates.
Local councils picked by sortition but also with “town hall” procedures. So you get participatory democracy.
The head of state of each state and head of government are separate. The President/Governor has their own board which can veto them but most power rests in an appointed Premier/PM who can hold that position without any term limit (the only position in the system like it).
Term limits for the judiciary and governors/executive board.
National law can be created by inter state treaty and High Court of Australia can consist of a panel of the State appellate judges.

Shen Yun is of course a public branch of the Falun Gong or Falun Dafa movement, banned in China.
Some resist this dance expression because of claimed ‘cult like’ associations, but that could be said of many forms of high art where performers are dedicated to their artistic performances. I admire the technique and creative energy of it, although I agree that some of the routines can get repetitive and that traditional Chinese dance is only a bedrock rather than a significant part of the overall performance, which relies a lot on Western music and ballet. The CCP of course are always out to get these believers in something other than the CCP.

“Is advice from me or Tom [Calma] a threat to civilisation, a threat to democracy? It’s a nonsense,” Professor Marcia Langton, an architect of the Voice, told the committee.

I think Langton is selling herself short here. Her advice wouldn’t just be a nonsense – it’d also be a threat to civilisation and democracy if she were given enough power.

The ABC has a colossal whine about “badly-behaved” Russian tourists in Bali.

There are plenty of Russian tourists here. All I’ve seen then do is talk and sing loudy and not tolerate shit service. They are neat and clean and their children are well behaved.

Nothing approaching the Pure Mong of Australian tourists in Bali.

Zimmerman represents all of the reasons why the SFL cannot be recovered/reformed until Photios is destroyed utterly.
My local branch is a micro study of the problem. It was a probably overly comfortable normal branch, specialising in great afternoon teas, when we suddenly found ourselves presided over by the local newsagent.
He was boosted by the central office and had given away our rights before any of us understood what was happening. Branch meetings after that comprised people from the central office appearing to tell what we will do.
We had never heard of Photios or Textor, and didn’t believe that Turnbull had the power to destroy the Party. We were sitting ducks; sheep.
A number of us run a mini-guerrila campaign against the President’s business but the reality is that Moderates cannot be defeated at branch level.
Incongruously, what is needed is a TEAL type sugar daddy to boost and organise democracy at branch level. Unfortunately, this area lacks the cohesion that is exhibited by upper class dominated inner suburban areas so finding and mobilising a democratic core is unlikely.
I believe that it is effectively over for regional Liberals.
I did rejoin, believing that the fight must be carried on, but I won’t survive.

This is why I believe in, wait for it…

Budweiser Replaces Clydesdales With Cows Dressed As Horses

ST. LOUIS, MO — In a natural continuation of its push for diversity and celebration of transgender lifestyles, Anheuser-Busch has announced the company will be replacing the iconic Budweiser Clydesdales with cows that identify as and dress like horses.

“We feel this is a natural next step,” said Anheuser-Busch CEO Brandan Whitworth. “If we’re going to bend reality and ignore all basic understanding of science and biology with our Bud Light brand, then it only makes sense to make that philosophy consistent across our other brands, including the classic Budweiser advertising campaigns.”

“We’re absolutely certain that everyone in the country will be excited to follow the journey these proud horses embark on to discover their true inner species.”

Wish this was an image board…

What a shame that JK Rowling made a star out of such a privileged plonker.

It was King Lear who said, ‘How sharper than a serpent’s tooth it is to have a thankless child’.

I always think of it whenever I see the latest nasty little jibe at JK Rowling from one of the mediocre actors whom her novels shot to stardom.

Or perhaps this was because you were part of the last generation to grow up in an age when girly boys and boyish girls weren’t carted off to have any potential gayness transed away?

What a loss to The Brains Trust this man is.

Voting Yes for the Voice will:
Stop domestic and sexual violence.
Will stop kids fighting in the street in Alice Springs.
Will stop your car being broken into or taken for a joyride.
Ensure 100% school attendance rate by all Aboriginal kids.
Ensure all Aboriginal housing will remain damage free.
Ensure the responsable consumption of alcohol.
Prevent global warming in Aboriginal communities.
Create many more civil servant jobs in Canberra. Note it will be considered racist to sack them.
Create more high paying tourist visitors as The Voice and their entourages tour the best hotels and restaurants on their fact finding missions.
Lead to Marcia Langton as first Aboriginal Governor general.

In fact things will be so good the NT will be renamed Utopia and Alice Springs renamed Albo Springs.

So all you current No voters do the right thing and Vote Yes. You know it makes sense.

I’ve resisted the black pill so far.

Too many public servants and too many are overpaid well above the average wage, including most private sector workers.

COVID was an absolute scam for most public servants.

Regarding Russian tourists – when staying at holiday resorts in SE Asia, I would nod and smile at them when they entered a lift I was in or wherever, and usually I got in response was a grumpy, dour, stony-faced glance.

Later, I discovered many Russians* perceive people who go about smiling at perfect strangers in passing as foolish and untrustworthy. This is not our way, of course, but it’s understandable.

*and probably Ukrainians too because, pace the Ukrainian ambassador’s claim to the contrary in the above article, most Ukrainians are very similar to Russians

ZK2A:

At speaking events, she asks who in the room has relatives of friend connected to the military and the vast majority put up their hands.

That’s an interesting statistic.
I wonder what would the response be if they were asked:
.1 A serving member.
.2 A former serving member.
.3 Member of family (Immediate) served.
.4 Extended family served.
.5 Member of family dead/wounded/PoW.
The reason I ask is that our family recently discovered two uncles died in the Pacific theatre, and another who came back never married and recently died.
That’s a big loss demographically.
The first World War ? Australia never recovered from that slaughter. The second round put the finishing touches to us.

“Territory Families take children who have been in loving, caring foster homes and then place them back into communities that they’ve actually not really known all their lives.”

You wouldn’t let them take your dog. I’m surprised that this hasn’t seen foster parents whisk the children away overseas out of the grasp of The Mongocracy.

That’s it.

Red envelopes -vs- Blue envelopes, and who can gather the most envelopes. That’s it folks. That’s the only thing that matters.

When Team Obama watch their opposition deciding on who is the best person to reach the “independent”, “middle”, or “swing voters”… as if voters really mattered, the David Axelrod’s, Marc Elias’s, David Plouffe and Barack Obama’s of the world laugh. I mean straight up hysterically belly laugh.

When the DNC sees the RNC focused on selecting the best congressional candidates who can be the best representatives for a district in Virginia… the entire mechanism of the donor class behind the DNC orders another round of drinks.

Debates don’t matter…. Did you forget Arizona 2022? Katie Hobbs giggled when asked about why no debates.

The only reason these insufferable discussions still exist is to maintain the illusion of a political business that generates money. The business they are pretending to still exist is like Blockbuster video being subsidized by corporations who sell streaming services. The media pretend the traditional business model of elections is still viable because without it, there is no need for them.

There is only one function of modern political industry that matters… Collecting envelopes. That’s it!

It doesn’t even matter whose name is on the paper inside the envelope. The people who switched from Flip Phones to Smart Phones don’t even pay attention to the candidate names on the ballots any longer. We elect dead people now.

The entire mechanism of American political outcomes is now one really simple process. There are Blue envelopes to locate, and there are Red envelopes to locate. Tune in to the news in November of 2024 and find out which team collected the most envelopes.

? Dear President Donald Trump, go ahead and hold the rallies…. continue putting out the platform…. continue using your podium to promote vision, excitement and direction in the largest scale possible to save the nation. Continue providing fuel for the cultural battle and primary battle being waged in the social media sphere by warriors for the MAGA movement…. However, in the totality of the 2024 presidential contest, this effort should be -at most- 20% of the industrial political campaign.

80% of the entirety of the money spent, the effort exhausted, the assembly constructed, the people and supporters assembled, should be focused – to the exclusion of all other things – on the process of maximizing envelope collection.

Make that paradigm shift, and 2024 is easily within reach. Ignore it, and you might as well use a carrier pigeon to send your next email.

The RNC is no help. The RNC is focused on EVERYTHING that doesn’t matter.

For the Republican presidential primary, whoever contracts Catherine Engelbrecht and the coast-to-coast organization of True The Vote first, will likely win.

Book sales, TV ads, legislative accomplishments, cultural wokeism, school choice, education policy, fiscal policy, foreign policy, debates, political experience, candidate qualifications, polls, rallies, crowd sizes, endorsements, not one single part of any of that matters in this electoral combat.

There is only one thing that matters,…. collecting the most envelopes.

Crimes against children are more frequent during School Holidays, that might just be due to opportunity, but it’s true that Teachers are taught psychological techniques to facilitate compliance as part of their training.

US must stop ‘encouraging war’ in Ukraine – Lula

The Brazilian leader delivered the comments as he concluded a state visit to China

The United States and its allies should focus on promoting peace instead of fueling the Ukraine conflict by arming Kiev, Brazilian President Lula da Silva said on Saturday as he concluded a state visit to China, his country’s primary trading partner.

In contrast to many Western nations, neither Brazil nor China has imposed sanctions on Moscow following the onset of the conflict in Ukraine last year.

Since January 2010, Rotten Tomatoes has been owned by Flixster, which was in turn acquired by Warner Bros. in 2011. In February 2016, Rotten Tomatoes and its parent site Flixster were sold to Comcast’s Fandango. Warner Bros. retained a minority stake in the merged entities, including Fandango.

That’s all you need to know.

I am ashamed that I read one of these posts to the end even if it WAS quite short.

In general my scroll-on-by-ometer works much faster than that. My natural learning algorithm has detected that occasional parts of well-informed commentary, helpfully contrarian perspectives and basic care routines for skinsuits are inevitably heading to disappointment that my fellow man, or some faked persona as the case may be, is such a lackwitted troll.

I have had trouble posting a comment, it’s not appearing though seems to have been received.
So this is a test.

Jordan Petersen discusses with a sympathetic psychiatrist the traumatic effects of gender transitioning on family members, especially parents. (is link the problem in getting this up?)

Like when a child has a severe illness, or is severely drug addicted, the effect is never-ending, ongoing and deeply, deeply disturbing for parents in particular. With transitioning, parents are told by ‘experts’ that what is happening is both acceptable and a solution, which allows parents with no place to grieve or protest.

There are some similarities to drug addiction in a child, where parents are often blamed and also told, by ‘experts’ with simple solutions, to abandon a child out of home to ‘rock bottom’, which helps no-one.

Donbass soldier Andrey Korobov-Latyntsev: Here’s my chilling warning about where the Russia-Ukraine conflict can lead

An academic turned fighter believes those who think the fighting can be contained are misguided

For a philosopher, the military path – the path of war – is quite natural. In reality, such a scholar is always engaged in this process – the conflict of ideas.

He understands that war is the forefather of all things and since he is looking for the origin of everything, turning to war, both as a subject and an element of existentialism, is natural. Of course, it is also a great honor for me to be part of the armed forces of Novorossiya and the Donetsk People’s Republic.

Indeed, modern-day soldiers have more technical means at their disposal to kill the enemy, but the risk remains the same as always. The existential dimension of war doesn’t change either. Even if one day, there will be no human combatants on the battlefield and only drones will fight, it will retain its essence because there will always be a risk of defeat.

The ‘just war theory’ is ancient. A number of researchers ascribe it to Plato, and it was formally established by Cicero in Ancient Rome.

The key question posed by the just war theory is how to reconcile the realities of war with high morality and even religious commandments, as St. Augustine and Thomas Aquinas attempted to do. The theory itself proceeds from rather simple assumptions. In order for a war to be called ‘just’, it must meet specific criteria.

After all, one may have just reasons for starting a war, but then go on to conduct it in an unjust manner.

At this point, there exists a difference between ‘jus ad bellum’ (right to war) and ‘jus in bello’ (rights at war).

Examples of conducting war in a just manner include not killing civilians (people without weapons and not involved in the war) and not torturing prisoners of war. In other words, not doing any of the things that modern Ukraine is doing.

Moreover, there is another criterion that appeared later in the 20th century. It is called ‘jus post bellum’ (rights after war).

This means that the world after the war should be better than the world prior to the war. Let’s say a country is not satisfied with the existing status quo and starts a war. For example, in 2003, the Americans said that they were worried about weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. Washington invaded, plunged the enemy into living hell and believed that the result of the war was better than the pre-war conditions. It’s amusing to analyze the wars started by Western countries in the second half of the 20th century based on the ‘jus post bellum’ criterion – you aren’t likely to find one case that fits the West’s own theory of a just war.

I believe we are gradually approaching the heated phase of a new global conflict leading to a clash of entire armies, as we are now seeing in Ukraine. Unfortunately, we are turning back to the former definition of war – a war of peoples, a clash of civilizations. Beyond the sluggish hybrid format, it is emerging as a global conflict involving many parties. That’s the direction we’re heading in, and so far I see no prerequisites for turning back.

In a sense, however, the Cold War was a period of detente after humanity’s traumatic experience of WWII. This may sound like blasphemy, but during the Cold War, world leaders were seeking more civilized methods of confrontation.

Whereas today, these methods no longer work and war is becoming total and all-encompassing. It is primarily a war of ideas. As long as contradicting ideas exist, this war cannot be over.

The ontology of combat supposes that as long as there are ideas, wars will go on. If ideas exist, so does conflict.

As long as there is a contradiction in the Platonic world of ideas and there are people who are willing to defend their ideas, die, and kill for them, there will be wars.

At the end of the 20th century, philosopher Francis Fukuyama believed that humanity was ready to enter into peaceful coexistence since the victory of one idea over another had finally taken place. Only one winner remained, there was no one to fight anymore.

Reconciliation is what happens in classic warfare. The war ends with an agreement.

I’d like to believe that there is still room for negotiations, but experience shows that the West is simply not up to it today. You know, Carl Schmitt defined such a notion as an “absolute enemy.” This is an enemy with whom you can’t negotiate, since he has only one goal: total annihilation. Not necessarily physical annihilation, but primarily the destruction of self-identity. If it is possible to conclude an agreement with such an enemy, it will be very short-lived and you will soon be deceived. The absolute enemy is not capable of dialogue since he sees no point in it.

Today, the West sees no point in negotiating with Russia. Western elites believe that their truth is absolute and nonnegotiable.

In a way, this is a unique situation the likes of which we have not seen in human history. This conflict is final and absolute and it has a strong eschatological background. This is a war of ideas and only ideas will win in this war.

Uh huh.

Why are the SAS in Ukraine – and do we have a clue why we’re involved in this war?

By PETER HITCHENS FOR THE MAIL ON SUNDAY

Who decided to send the SAS to Ukraine? What are they doing there? What would happen were they to be killed by Russian forces, or captured by them?

And what was a British surveillance plane, capable of carrying 30 people, doing over the Black Sea last September, when a bungling Russian pilot almost shot it down, only failing because his missile was a dud? What would have happened if the missile had worked, and many British servicemen and women had died?

Can you begin to imagine what that would involve? How would the people of this country gain by such events? Is anybody thinking about what we are doing?

First of all, what interest does the United Kingdom have in continuing and sustaining this war?

A powerful faction in Washington DC, with supporters in the West Wing of the White House, the Pentagon, the State Department and the CIA, have long wanted a proxy war with Russia.

They are almost exactly the same people who created the Iraq War out of nothing, who got the West into the Afghanistan quagmire, and who backed Islamist fanatics in Syria – who were the sort of people they would have arrested in Chicago.

They have an unparalleled record of fanatical stupidity, and everywhere they intervene ends up in corpse-strewn ruins, with everyone who can get out fleeing from the fire and screams… towards Europe and the Channel coast.

If every dollar these zealots have spent on war had been spent instead on building prosperous free countries in places such as Russia, the world would be a startlingly better place.

Why should any British soldiers be there at all? If Parliament does not debate this, then we are not a democracy. And if any critical voices are drowned out with slander and abuse, then we are not a free country.

How to Identify an AI-Generated Image: 4 Ways

Differentiating between AI-generated images and real ones is becoming increasingly difficult. But there are a few tricks you can try.

How to use Midjourney to generate AI images

The era of AI-generated artwork is upon us, and the internet is filled with users trying to create the perfect prompts to lead AIs to create just the right images – or sometimes, just the wrong ones. Sound like fun? One of the more common AI tools is Midjourney, which people use to create dreamlike landscapes and subjects with just a few words.

This is an INSANE use of AI. I love it.
