NYU Prof Denounces ‘Venus de Milo’ as White Supremacist (25 Apr)
Plasmamortar my wife has done quite a bit work with AI in her line of work. From what she says the improvements in a few yearshave been amazing but still not there. I know one of my son’s mates doing work in accounting AI. The problem with law and accounting is Activist Judges interpretation and the ATO making up rules that go against any claim you have. If they say it happened even if it didn’t and vicer- versa. The same as plod and ASIO having access to your computer and the ability to change or plant stuff for future prosecution. Before something going wrong in government was almost always incompetence, these days malevolence.
She was too incompetent to be promoted under Bartiromo. She was a vile anti Christian who turned off Christmas lights of her coworkers …

It was Christmas decorations, you dope.

Blacks are notoriously poor shots, my link was to the Battle Of Townsville in 1944 [but suppressed until 2012] where the blacks ran amok, firing 7,000 machine gun rounds, only hit 2 people.

I am all in favour of tax cuts… to those who have not enjoyed the benefits of productivity increases: the poor and middle classes. The rich have had more than their fair whack over the past few decades. Time to share it around.

Fully acceptable to the Great and Good. Whether it delivers a generally acceptable social and political outcome is a matter for lesser people to endure.
The comments on that Venus de Milo article are amusing.
The professor is a dope. As one commenter points out, the statues were carved and painted. And there’s more…on certain days, they were garlanded and dressed.
He’s so across his subject matter that he doesn’t even know this. Or…he does know but is spouting CRT because he just feels like it. Which is even worse than ignorance.

I said that our superannuation wouldn’t be there…
Superannuation also keeps wages low given that it is a forced contribution by government order.

That was correct.

Robeson was used by Communist Front Groups, he was part of the Old Left, now 2 generations gone.

Right, OilPrice.com, Wind Power is Unprofitable (25 Apr)
The author of the OilPrice.com article, “Wind Power Has A Profitability Problem,” Felicity Bradstock, points out that despite massive investments and mandated construction by governments leading to growth in the wind power industry, “companies are realizing that it is difficult to translate wind power into profits.” Bradstock says the return on investment has not been what companies expected, writing:
In June last year, there were reports that some of the world’s biggest wind energy companies were battling heavy losses. … Losses were seen across the board in 2022, to the tune of $2 billion for GE’s renewables division, $1.68 billion for the largest turbine manufacturer Vestas, and Siemens Energy lost $943.48 million.
So even with massive subsidies they can’t make a profit? Yet guys like Bowen and Bandt keep on saying that renewables are the cheapest. I think there might be a bit of a gap between fantasy and reality going on here. One thing seems certain: electricity is going to get even more expensive.
An Alice Springs school principal has revealed the horrifying extent of the crisis engulfing Indigenous children in central Australia, detailing incidents where children are sometimes returned to school in handcuffs or wearing ankle bracelets and one in which a 12-year-old and his mates led teachers on a wild pursuit through the town in a stolen minibus.
In a dramatic video of the minibus chase obtained by The Australian a teacher can be heard screaming: “You little shits … pull over!” as she leans from the window of a pursuing car.
As Labor and Coalition leaders trade blows over allegations of neglect and child sexual abuse in the Northern Territory, Yipirinya School principal Gavin Morris has come forward with a desperate plea to help students like his who are “in absolute crisis”.
He said staff routinely had to contact magistrates to have bail conditions varied for children as young as 12 so they could participate in after-school programs, but added that his students saw the school as “a place of culture” and “a place where they want to be”.
In one incident where a teenage girl had been raped, her young brother who had witnessed the crime came to school with serious signs of self-harm after attempting to take his own life. “For the teenage girls who don’t go home because they’re worried about their uncles coming in, these are the girls who are walking around Alice Springs unsupervised because they don’t feel safe to go home,” Mr Morris said.
A political storm erupted last month after Peter Dutton, backed by Indigenous senator Jacinta Nampijinpa Price, alleged rampant child sexual abuse in the Territory, only to be attacked by NT Police Minister Kate Worden for “absolutely opportunistic political game-playing”.
The Australian has previously revealed how, despite the promise of almost $300m in extra funding in the NT and new restrictions on alcohol sales, children are still on the streets late at night, playing cat and mouse with police.
The shocking catalogue of evidence produced by Mr Morris, who has a PhD in Aboriginal trauma and lectures at Charles Darwin University, is set to focus attention on the NT’s beleaguered education system and efforts to keep Indigenous children attending school.
Most important for Mr Morris is that students see Yipirinya now as a place of cultural safety, a place where they can feel safe, and they can feel like they belong. “I’ve got kids coming to see me and saying home life is that bad that they’d rather be in Owen Springs (juvenile detention) and in incarceration where they feel safer.”
“We need support to make sure that we get all these kids the support that they need,” he says.
In the minibus incident last August, a group of students – the driver aged 12, the oldest just 14 – stole the vehicle at 9pm, smashing through the school gates, and sped through the main street of Alice Springs.
Mr Morris recalled his phone suddenly “buzzing off its head” as teachers reported they were frantically pursuing the students in their cars, begging them to stop before someone was seriously injured or killed.
Video of the chase shows the bus careening down the street as the teacher driving the car behind desperately beeps its horn and flashes its headlights. Tyres screech as they turn a corner, chasing the kids, who live in town camps around Alice Springs.
“You f..king wait!” one teacher screams. “Pull over!”
The pursuing teachers are scared for the lives of the students and innocent bystanders.
As they head out of town, the car swerves onto the wrong side of the road, throwing up dirt when it veers off the bitumen. The kids drive down to an Indigenous camp on the outskirts of town, where the bus begins to slow.
Ten kids jump out of the van while it’s still moving and scatter into the night, some vaulting fences. “They came to school the next day,” Mr Morris said.
None was charged. The bus was written off, with significant damage to the structure and axles. It was not an isolated incident, Mr Morris said.
“We’ve got a growing number of students at Yipirinya who come to school with ankle bracelets, who have got bail conditions attached to the upcoming court case, some of these are very, very young,” says Mr Morris.
Earlier this year, he says a caged police truck arrived at the school at 8.30am, with four handcuffed girls who had been “day-breaking” – staying up all night roaming the streets.
“(They) didn’t want to go home, so came to school,” he said. “That’s not something that was seen as an emergency, that’s pretty much day-to-day operations. This is what we’re dealing with at Yipirinya, and it doesn’t define us. We’re a very strong cultural school, and the majority of our kids every day come to school, and it’s happy – and they love learning and they love coming to school – but a lot of our families overcome a great deal to get there.
“We’re not talking about historical events here; we’re not dredging up some of the big, bad dark stories from the past; this is the stuff that we’re dealing with regularly.”
Mr Morris said he took the students breaking into the school “personally”, but added that most of it came down to lack of supervision, trauma and seeking attention.
He said many children who were arrested and sent to juvenile detention, were assessed, and “100 per cent” of them returned with a diagnosis, many with a fetal alcohol spectrum disorder.
“Issues stem from alcohol and from households that feature alcohol and drug abuse and lack of parenting and lack of parenting support and families in crisis and families carrying the trauma of colonisation and then unresolved trauma and the use of alcohol to cope with that trauma,” he said.
Mr Morris said underlying issues as to why young children were on the street needed to be addressed. “What we’ve proposed and had on the table and have bipartisan support is around an accommodation facility built at Yipirinya,” he said.
He believes some of the $300m promised to address issues in central Australia by Anthony Albanese should be allocated to the project.
“For those students or families who choose or need that emergency accommodation, that safe, secure accommodation, we want to be able to offer that at Yipirinya,” he said.
“We need more than just bipartisan support, we need the government to come to the table and fund it. You can’t have unsupervised children walking around the streets.”
Mr Morris said some girls were roaming around unsupervised because they didn’t feel like they belonged or were accepted.
“They feel like they’re being left behind from society,” he said.
“Those homes in crisis that have chronic alcohol and substance abuse, chronic domestic violence, chronic sexual assaults, they need support.
“This isn’t all Aboriginal families, but let’s get behind those that need the support.”
Mr Morris said homes with a lack of food, financial security and supervision often led to children presenting on the streets and at schools and in the community as being anti-social.
“But there’s certainly a growing number of families in crisis that need support, and the support they need is in respect to alcohol and substance abuse, domestic and sexual violence,” he said. “Mothers, in particular, are the ones who seem to be standing up in community, and it’s the mothers who are at crisis point.”
Mr Morris said schools needed to begin dealing with underlying trauma before traditional schooling such as literacy and numeracy. “It’s not punitive, it’s not reactionary … it’s about addressing the underlying trauma that these kids are bringing into the school,” he said.
“Once you’ve addressed that trauma, then you can start talking about literacy and numeracy and employment opportunities and the rest of it.”

I can’t see Brian Kilmeade lasting too long at Fox. He’s trolling his own management.
Morano on Fox News Channel: Climate agenda is ‘coming for your food’ – ‘They’re always looking for reasons why the rest of us can’t be free’ (25 Apr)
“First, they came for your energy. Then they came for your gas-powered cars, your freedom of movement, your cheap flights. Now they’re coming for your food,” Morano, author of “The Great Reset: Global Elites and the Permanent Lockdown,” said on “Fox News Tonight.” “They will be monitoring what you eat. What’s coming next are the restrictions,” Morano said. “We are already seeing it globally with a net-zero commitment.
The News/Fox commitment to net-zero will’ve certainly been on Mr Kilmeade’s mind, and Morano is for climate activists the most hated man in the universe. Interesting therefore that he was given this interview so shortly after Tucker was fired.
Once upon a time, journalists were our truth-tellers.
Now they see their job as helping the government not only to censor the truth, but also actively suppress freedom of speech.
I think every newspaper should run the following guidelines on its online commenting policy:
1. 99% of journalists vote for the Greens and the ALP.
2. 99% of journalists do not consider they are bound by a code of ethics, even though the journalists union has such a code governing fairness and ethics in reporting.
3. Anyone submitting an online comment should understand that there is a 99% chance the journalist reviewing the online comment submitted will censor anything that criticises the policies or political party s/he votes for.
4. 99% of journalists think you’re too stupid to vote, let alone comment online.

You keep getting more of the same because you keep supporting the violaters and their unfortunate offspring. There is nothing to preserve in that culture, jail the perpetrators and place the kids in boarding schools. Enforce the rules and make sure there are consequences for breaking them. But in our present situation that is impossible, too many people with vested interests who have built careers upon the chaos and suffering.
Computers in 1943?
Certainly. Primitive computers were around in the 1930s as part of the fire control systems of the larger warships that used rangefinders to transfer optical information into bearing and elevation directions for their turrets of guns.
Graham Wright described his action station as a midshipman on the cruiser Canberra:
My action station was in the 8 Inch Transmitting Station where I presided over a magnificent contraption of rods, wheels and what looked remarkably like bicycle chains on which the range of an enemy ship, as deduced by a number of optical rangefinders located in different positions, would appear as perforations on a rolling paper. My task was to select the range most likely to represent the true range and follow the range changes to produce the rate of change from range from which it was possible for me to deduce whether the enemy ship was in fact altering course towards or away.
This was a fairly primitive set-up by WWII terms and by the end of the war had been thoroughly replaced by much better computing systems.
Tucker Carlson hawks “testicle tanning” to boost testosterone. Experts say it may do the opposite

Campbell Newman shut the Tanning Salons in Qld, another of the shitty things he did in his 3 miserable years in office.
The prescription for alleviating the indigenous powerlessness is the same as for all of us. Get a job, look after yourself and your own family, don’t expect others to give you everything. Go on, be a master of your own fate.
Yep. Don’t want to upset the trannies. They seem to have found reverse.
That’s white supremacist thinking!!

POSITIONS VACANT:
An Alice Springs politician has questioned why the government has failed to fill the deputy administrator role in more than 18 months.
Dr Patricia Miller AO retired from the position in September 2021 after a tenure of almost two decades.
The role, which would act as deputy to Administrator Dr Hugh Heggie PSM, is traditionally based in Alice Springs.
Independent MLA Robyn Lambley has taken aim at the Labor government for not replacing Dr Miller and providing “strength, unity and stability” to the beleaguered town.
“The Deputy Administrator is the second most senior government position in the NT, sitting behind the Administrator,” she said.
“Having this representation at the highest level based in Central Australia has been vital.”
Dr Miller, a native title holder in Alice Springs, attended more than 500 engagements during her tenure.
Ms Lambley said her “extraordinary background” in Aboriginal justice, health and welfare was of great value to the role.

True story: I knew Belofonte’s tour manager from a jazz bar, Pat’s in Chelsea, where I’d often repair after work in the wee hours. Harry wasn’t touring as much in those days, age catching up with him, so his manager, who had a journalism degree, asked if there was any work going at the NY Post. I brought him for a try-out on the subs desk and he was … hopeless. Writing good, snappy heds is an art, and on a 10-person desk you’ll maybe find two or three who are first class. As the copy flows from the “rim” to the “slot” (chief sub in Australian parlance), the better hands will tickle the lower-order subs’ efforts. At a headline-driven comic such as the Post this kept standards high. Well Norman just couldn’t do it at all — wooden, dull, lame heds even when there were glaring opportunities for wit and puns (the two aren’t often the same).
After five days I had to tell Norm there were no vacancies and thanks very much for giving it a shot.
About three months later I’m listening to Black radio WLIB — always entertaining for the parade of ratbags claiming Jesus was black and how Korean grocers were exploiting/poisoning Harlem residents with their pork products, and I hear Norman being interviewed about racism in journalism and how Murdoch’s klansmen stopped his career before it started.
So that’s how it works. You give someone a shot and get branded as the new Bull Connor. Last time I ever did it. Opened my eyes about the treachery in the human heart.

Article on the front page of The Australian this morning says that barristers get 40 to 50% of their income from the gov. We know that gov advertising is what much of the media lives on, so the gov essentially controls both the law and the media today. No wonder you can’t trust either of them.

Grandpa Ed Simpson likes his tissues starched.
I recognised, long before Tucker, that politics has lapsed and turned into religion. Of course, I had m0nty as a horrible example of this, so maybe it was easier for me to see it, but the impulse to shut up those with whom you disagree and a disdain for logic and reason is a universal give-away.
We are now seeing what happens when Christianity fails: the older gods come back. The names are changed; it’s no longer Moloch or Cybele, it’s Abortion and Transgender Rights. But they are religions of the old, horrible kind. Look at what they expect of their adherents. Look at what they force on children.
This is what we are up against. Those who call for Diversity, Inclusion and Equity are demanding that we accept mental illness as the norm. It’s offered as being kind to certain minorities, but it’s not doing a kindness to the deluded to support their delusions. We’ve been tolerating homosexuals and transvestites for yonks, but now we’re required to celebrate their sickness. Only an extremely nasty and insane religion would demand this.
I’m an atheist and have no need for religion or ideology. But it’s clear to me that I’m in an extremely small minority; most people do need a religion, and can’t believe that anyone like me can exist.
Given that nearly everyone has a need to belong to the gang of cool kids who subscribe to the strongest religion, and given that currently that’s neo-Marxism, I’m stuck on a solitary limb. I can’t join the m0ntys, they’re utterly disgusting, but the alternative is old buffers who were brung up with Christianity and haven’t been able to overcome their conditioning. You lot, as m0nty would say.
hi sancho
wots tha numbas on Blecks shootin’ white kids versus whites shootin Angelic Black Kids?
Last I looked it was runnin’ at 20 to 1, and since Blacks are 13% compared to Whites 65%, i’d say that makes the former about 100 times more likely.
Right?
Sounds like Aboriginal children want to be stolen.
Anyhow
Always was, always will be!
Yeah, areff, and I caught you out trying to insinuate Blacks in New York did you wrong when that isn’t true at all [in the instance that you mention].
I’m not so sure about that rosy picture, Tom. Some of them, for sure, but I don’t think they were all squeaky clean.
It’s, dare I say it, the lack of diversity in our fourth estate – diversity of ethical standards and politics mainly, nobbled by extreme PC and deliberate lack of interest about anything that challenges the Establishment. We get a few who tinker around the edges, but they are gagged in the usual way – either physically or financially threatened or bumped like Carlson.
The MSM is a dinosaur waiting for a long overdue asteroid. There are already many…many little furry creatures thriving in internet burrows ready to supplant them.
Me neither but I disagree that it’s a sideshow. The spirit with it’s solemn recognition and aspirations can live on but only if one chooses not to join the many who uses it for politics.
So special but not really.
The vast majority of Australians are practising atheists.
Here you go DrB:
The main thesis, quite simply, was that the US was in decline. And whenever I spoke at events, I used to talk about logarithmic decay, saying:
“As a civilization in decline, you never really know quite where you are on the curve. You could be way over here on the horizontal line, at the very beginning of the decline… or you could be standing on the precipice about to hit the vertical slide down.”
Well, now we have a much better idea of where we are on that logarithmic decay curve. Because these ideas about the national debt, inflation, social security, social conflict, etc. are no longer theories. Nor are they even remotely controversial.
From Instapundit today. We’re usually a decade or so behind the US in most things.
I’m all for solemn recognition.
Sounds like Aboriginal children want to be stolen.
Does it?
It sounds to me like they can’t sleep thru the madness at home, so they go for a walk with their mates.

How many trust our leaders?
How many of us believe we live in a democratic nation where the peoples wants and needs are reflected in the laws that rule us.
We have, through sheer neglect, wasted the sacrifices our soldiers made fighting tyranny and instead make a bed for it in our own homes so we can feel ‘safe’.

EV Camping in Winnebago’s eRV2: Cozy Cabin but Constrained Range (25 Apr)
“Ford quotes a 108-mile range for the high-roof E-Transit, and Winnebago says its testing revealed an average range of 120 miles. But the eRV2 traveled just 70 miles at 70 mph—we couldn’t do our standard highway test at 75 mph as the Winnebago tops out at 74 mph—and the dashboard readout never displayed more than 90 miles during our time with the vehicle, possibly due in part to the cold weather.”
I can’t see grey nomads buying a RV which only goes 100 or so km before you have to recharge it. Driving around Australia would be insanely frustrating.
I think there is some role for a media organisation or else you find yourself reading The Epoch Times or RT. The leaning and overt bias of Wendy Bacon J School j’ismists is a problem, as the ALPBC is finding out. As everywhere, competition and diversity is always a good thing.
DrBeau, the bias is always towards idolatry.
Christianity hasn’t failed, but its trappings are being passed through the fire. The rubbish will be burned off as we observe right now. Even Carlson acknowledged it in his sly and rather amusing asides about Episcopalianism.
Perhaps we Christians have had the upper hand politically and culturally speaking for so long we have grown fat and lazy, particularly in the West. Different story elsewhere, as in Africa. My faith informs me of how it all ends, just not the time – although every day we stand tip toe on the precipice of the beginning of the end. Delightful hindsight might even date 2020 as the end of the beginning. Who knows?

Anyway there is another player in the room who gets a say.
That’s fine. But many (most?) don’t and won’t. One of the big issues around the death of FTA TV is the loss of a mass audience and more media silos and polarisation. Arguably the loss of agreed cultural values (by neglect or design) sits in the background of many issues today.

Former Fox News talent Megyn Kelly told her podcast audience on Monday that Carlson could look forward to “blue, blue skies ahead,” adding, “He’s got a bright future. A more joyous, brighter, and more lucrative future.”
Her guest, former Fox News talent Glenn Beck, who knows all about starting his own digital information fortress, agreed that Carlson would be much happier out on his own. In fact, he said he’d been planning for Carlson’s ouster at Fox News and had prepared a job offer for him.
“We’ve been preparing an offer for him for a few days just to be ready in case. It’s looked dicey for a while. We hope to present him an offer at The Blaze. He wouldn’t miss a step. He’d just take it and go. I mean, I think Tucker will do very very well for himself.”
Nice work, Fox persons.
Fox News ‘Is Dead,’ and Tucker Carlson Is Already Living Large With a Job Offer (25 Apr)
Once upon a time, journalists were our truth-tellers.
Correct, or at least they were “curious”, and by being curious they often stumbled upon the truth, which then made for good solid and sometimes sensational journalism. But no longer. Journalists now, particularly those who’ve been churned out by universities, aren’t interested in being curious, they’re simply interested in being mouthpieces for progressive causes. There are many undiscovered curious stories out there, such as the climate scam, the 2020 election, Ukraine, Covid, Pell, Porter, and so on. A curious journalist investigating any of these would unearth a treasure trove of malfeasance and wrongdoing, but very few are interested, because none of this accords with their far-left neo Marxist progressive narrative, which they dare not step out of.
Trish Wood is a retired Canadian journalist who once worked for major Canadian and US media outlets. She now runs the excellent (and highly recommended) Trish Wood Is Critical Podcast. She said something interesting a year or so ago about why journalism is now so partisan, so lacking in curiosity, and so shallow. One reason is that journalists once upon a time almost always came from the working or middle class, they were curious, eager and hungry for stories. Nowadays, journalism is the province of the spoilt and the privileged, most who’ve grown up in affluence, who’ve attended private or selective schools, who then go on to study media at university where they become further inculcated with fetid far-left progressivism and then they leave university as indoctrinated zombie activists lacking any curiosity about the world around them, and so all they do as journalists is to push the latest progressive cause. And when seismic events such as Brexit, November 2016, May 2019 happen, they are gobsmacked, bewildered and mystified.
Calli, I hope you’re right and that Christianity emerges strengthened by fire. Not that I believe in it, but I can see its moral standards are way ahead of the human average. Yes, idolatry is much more common. I too liked Tucker’s cracks about Episcopalians. He’s quite smart for a journalist.
It really is a war between religions. The newer one is vile.

DrB – If you read the Bible you’ll find one theme repeated often: that a remnant will be saved.
This was the problem for the Pilgrim Fathers. They were all Christians. Their kids all acted like Christians under the social system that was in operation. But the next generation started to throw off that social pressure, and the braver dissidents broke with the theology. By the fourth or fifth generation the colonies had returned to the normal state of any society, with some real Christians, some agnostics, some disengaged people and some true atheists.
In short it’s quite clear from the Bible that Christians should expect to be a persecuted minority. We’re better off in Australia as the persecution isn’t much so far. Places like Nigeria are a different story. On the other hand the last several centuries show that the most successful and free countries are the ones who were most strongly of a Christian character. You can choose or otherwise to believe whether God blessed those nations.

EU Leaders Pay The Price For Blindly Following Biden’s Strategy
Domestic strife endemic as inflation bites.
TIPPINSIGHTS EDITORIAL BOARD
For over 12 months, the leaders of the European Union have blindly followed President Biden’s strategy of isolating Russia. Eager to please Washington, EU leaders have one-upped each other in bold public comments, criticizing Russia, China, and any other country that dares to deviate from the E.U. narrative.
Each comment got them likes, retweets, and media attention, the kind that politicians covet.
But isolating Russia and trade with the world’s largest country rich in natural resources has severely cost European families.
By helping Washington prolong the war, the E.U. has caught itself in a death spiral of extremely high inflation, tight money under astronomically-high interest rates, and wages not rising fast enough.
Ordinary E.U. citizens who are losing patience with governments’ inaction to help are taking to the streets, and it has not been a pretty sight.
Among the first to warn that an extended war was not in Europe’s best interests was Victor Orban, the four-time elected Hungarian leader. At the CPAC in Dallas last August, Orban said, “Without American-Russian talks, there will never be peace in Ukraine. More and more people will die and suffer, and our economies will come to the brink of collapse.”
The Biden administration, which does not like Orban and disinvited him from a recent conference on democracy, ignored his warnings and pushed the E.U. further into war.
The administration engineered the Russian oil-price cap scheme on the sanctions front while continuing to pressure the E.U. to extend financial penalties on Russian entities. While the actions had the intended effect of further isolating Russia, they came at a severe cost to the average E.U. voter.
Two months after Orban’s speech, Romanian citizens kicked off the first of many public protests complaining about the rising cost of living. Three weeks later, Belgian trade union confederations led strikes to challenge the impact of inflation on purchasing power.
But no strike action received as much attention as the U.K. strikes of February 2. Nearly half a million teachers, civil servants, train drivers, and others struck work in the United Kingdom to demand above-inflation pay rises. According to the BBC, the government responded with a pay package that included a £1,000 one-off payment this year and a 4.3% pay rise for most staff next year. Nearly 87% of union members rejected the offer calling it “insulting.” Now, members of the National Education Union in England have announced strikes on April 27 and May 2. In Northern Ireland, five teaching unions will strike on April 26.
Across the English Channel in Germany, passenger trains ground to a halt on Friday as workers joined a nationwide strike call to demand pay rises for railway staff. The action coincided with similar walkouts at several major German airports starting Thursday. All bus lines, regional rail, and city tram services stopped operating, crippling German life. Reuters reported that Germany’s Verdi union called for a one-day strike of air security staff at Berlin airport on Monday, April 24, which prompted the airport to cancel all passenger departures for the day.
But, on Sunday morning, at the 11th hour, the AP reported that German government officials and labor unions reached a pay deal for more than 2.5 million public-sector workers, ending a lengthy dispute and heading off the possibility of disruptive all-out strikes. [DW reports that the Berlin strike is still on and all flights will be canceled on Monday]. The settlement was not cheap: a one-time tax-free bonus of $3,300 per employee to be paid in regular installments, plus a 5.5% salary increase next March.
Meanwhile, the Royal College of Nurses in the U.K. announced a strike from April 30 to May 2 after its union rejected the government’s pay hike proposal. Steve Barclay, the Health and Social Care secretary, immediately filed a case in court requesting a decision to brand the nurses’ strike as illegal. That’s right. Sue the very workers whose votes you seek in the next election.
To the leaders of the pro-war movement, from Washington to Kyiv to London to Berlin, labor strikes send an uncomfortable message that there is a limit to how much pain families can endure supporting Ukraine.
As the Fed is expected to tighten the supply of money further with another increase in interest rates during the May FOMC meeting, the European Central Bank and the Bank of England would be forced to follow suit, worsening the economic conditions of the average European worker.
Then Grandpa Ed sees something on computers, tries another fart, and reeeeealllly follows through this time.

Video Roundup – 4/24/23
SIMPLICIUS THE THINKER
25 APR 2023
Today’s videos of interest:
The first is a very revealing look at just how panicked the elites are becoming vis a vis the global dedollarization movement.
They are beginning to verbalize their fears, which necessarily results in their further verbalizing some dark unspoken truths about the devious mechanisms of their global control.
In this case, Rubio whines that poor America will soon be prevented from ‘sanctioning’ anyone it chooses, due to the fact that the Resistance Axis is creating an entirely ‘parallel economy’ with their own national currencies.
This puts into perspective, and confirms once and for all, the idea—once dismissed as ‘conspiracy theory’—that the U.S. in fact seeks to actively destroy any nation or entity which challenges the dollar supremacy of its ‘privilege exorbitante’. We saw in the Wikileaks how Hillary Clinton’s aide, Sidney Blumenthal wrote:
Blumenthal pointed out the purpose of Qaddafi’s precious metal: “This gold was accumulated prior to the current rebellion and was intended to be used to establish a pan-African currency based on the Libyan golden Dinar. This plan was designed to provide the Francophone African Countries with an alternative to the French franc (CFA).”
Just two weeks before Blumenthal sent the Gaddafi-gold memo, Clinton met with Sarkozy in France, where the president pressed her to back an air campaign in Libya. At the time, in justifying his enthusiasm for military intervention, Sarkozy said publicly that France had “decided to assume its role before history” to ward off a “killing spree.” The French military, he said, was determined to defend any Libyans who wanted “liberate themselves from servitude.”
It’s very eye-opening how these things are now being plainly stated. I’ve said multiple times recently how in the terminal end times of the regime, desperation and sheer urgency mandates the throwing of caution to the wind and the speaking of things out in the open which previously would have been consigned exclusively to top secret clearance briefs.
Rubio spells it out very clearly and explicitly: the coming global confrontations are all about the U.S. Empire’s desperate last-haul measure to protect its dollar hegemony, which is the only remaining leverage that U.S. has left in the world at all.
As a flagging military power, entrenched on its own faraway world-island, U.S. no longer has the ability to project its might in a way that could deter Great Powers, or even regional ones. The dollar remains the sole instrument of the U.S.’s global dominance, but it is a privilege the American ruling class has abused to such a flagrant extent as to have extinguished its carrying power. Now, they are panicking, and openly admitting it.
“They’re going to trade in their own currencies, get right around the dollar,” cries bat-eared boy Rubio. “They’re creating a secondary economy in the world, totally independent of the United States,”
he stammers. And the kicker: “We won’t have to talk about sanctions in five years, because there’ll be so many countries transacting in currencies other than the dollar, that we won’t have the ability to sanction them!”
Cue the horror! Rue the day that the benevolent, altruistic U.S. loses its ability to sanction half the world!
It’s interesting that Rubio gives it five years, as an article just from yesterday similarly saw the five year mark as the limit of the dollar’s reign:
I believe that the universe at large prefers some theories to others, and in particular, some social Frameworks work better than others. And yes, the evidence at present suggests Christian ideas work better than the alternatives. I can understand enough of the sociodynamics to see why. It’s hard to see Science or the value of free speech arising in any other culture.
This is one reason I consider neo-Marxist wokery to be a vile religion. It favours the worst and most destructive aspects of human nature.
Revolver News has an article with behind the scenes stories about Tucker. The fishing in Central Park clip worth a look.
As can be seen by the many comments he used his show to help those who needed a boost.
The second video is a brief rewind and poignant look at Zelensky’s rise to power.
I merely wanted to use the video as opportunity to recall the outrageous fact that Zelensky, at the funding of oligarch Kolomoisky, founded a production company (Kvartal 95) which produced a show titled Servant of the People, in which he played lead role as…the president of Ukraine.
But then, reality being more twisted than fiction, he launched his own political party called ‘Servant of the People’, riding on the wave of the show’s popularity. And with this party, he won the presidency of Ukraine, on a platform of pacifism, ending the war in Donbass, measured rapprochement with Russia (at least in regards to openness to talks with Putin, etc.), amongst other things (a cruel joke in hindsight).
I still can’t wrap my head around it: it’s everything of the holographic, illusory ‘simulacra-simulation’ level stagecraft which has long haunted our worst expectations about politics, particularly of the Ukrainian variety. To blur the lines even further, Zelensky even ran billboards of ‘Servant of the People’ throughout the country, bypassing certain legal-political loopholes, and covertly funding them with his production company rather than campaign donations, which he claimed were actually ‘advertisements for the show’, but were in fact ingeniously playing double for political ads. It allowed him to basically combine the show and political campaign’s advertising into one and the same mirror campaign.
It’s just another axiomatic testament to the fine knife’s edge that power and illusion occupy together in this world, and how gullible, impressionable, and hypnotically suggestible the garden variety masses can be. The entire Ukrainian presidency is a TV Truman Show spectacle and hoax in one, funded by unctuous billionaires and CIA dark money.
In truth, there are even more surreal parallels between Zelensky’s ‘Servant of the People’ show and his ‘Servant of the People’ political party and later presidential life. But it’s point enough to bring a general attention to the lurid charade without getting lost in the weeds.
The last two videos I’ll leave you with are of the self-explanatory variety. Two candidly raw portraits of life behind the lines for Ukrainian soldiers; one tragic, the other a revealing interview with an AFU POW.

Nonetheless the $20 million per year Carlson was getting seems likely to be beat, one way or another. A lot of people look at Tucker and see a lot of eyeballs.
The downside from the huckster pov is that Tucker tends to appeal to the sceptics rather than the gullible. To the huckster, eyeballs ain’t eyeballs. He wants those eyeballs in front of a credulous brain, they’re much more likely to buy the advertisement.
My comments at the time were that righties wouldn’t watch NBC and lefties wouldn’t watch foxy Megyn. Her show at NBC lasted 1 year before they pulled the plug.

“Computers in 1943?”
Yes – though not the programmable digital ones that immediately spring to mind these days.
Rather, purpose built (only one program!) analog computers.
Think of older “hydraulic” controlled automatic gearboxes – the analog computer determines which gear to select by balancing a speed signal and a driver demand signal; when speed exceeds the specified amount for the specified driver demand, the gearbox shifts up a gear; when the driver demand exceeds the speed signal by the specified amount, the gearbox shifts down a gear; the specified amounts change depending on which gear is currently selected. All done with bleed valves, bobbin valves and hydraulic pressure from a pump.
Oddly enough, the issue with an analog computer is typically that it is too fast and needs to be slowed down, whereas a digital computer always needs more speed! Of course, if you are a clever design engineer with a limited compute/power/space/dollar budget, you can simulate an analog computer using “fuzzy logic” and get the job done for less than a fully digital solution would require, but that’s a conversation for another day.
I’m in two mind sabout this.
