One thing you will find in the gay community is a desire for it’s practitioners to appear pre pubertal. Why else the fetish with hairlessness?

Former Gez:

Transmission is the big cost in all renewable projects.
Big users, such as cities, should have renewable projects as close to the existing grid as possible to get the most energy and at least cost.
There is no discernible benefit in daylight hours or wind speeds of placing renewables in distant country areas.
The ‘big grid’ is old thinking that has been outpaced by technology.

Then why aren’t solar panels placed on top of the city buildings?, and put on racks between them? Kind of like a roof over the city made from solar panels. And put banks of small windmills above the streets to catch the wind tunnel effect at about the fifth floor?

Dover Beach:

In Poland, the Monument of Gratitude to the Red Army, erected on the burial site of 500 dead Soviet soldiers, was destroyed live

The Red army invaded Poland on 1939, and reinvaded in 1944.
During this second invasion, the Red Army indulged itself in the mass rape of Polands women and children, and forcibly impressed thousands of Polish men into the effort to subjugate Poland and its people.
Perhaps the rubble of this monument to Russian bastardry could be used to make a memorial to the victims of its rule – a suitable place would be the Katyn Woods.
Perhaps we should build a memorial in Hyde Park to commemorate the thousands of Japanese Soldiers, Sailors, and Airmen who slaughtered our men and women PoWs in SE Asia.

He is a mealy mouthed pip pipper who thinks there are rules when dealing with the left and will not get his hands dirty. By in effect re-endorsing turdball again he shows he is a complete piece of swamp shit.

She was attacked by Japanese bombers and sunk on 26 December 1941 at Manila Bay during the Second World War. The wreck was salvaged, raised by the Imperial Japanese, and renamed Hatsu Maru. She served as an Imperial Japanese Army transport. On 13 November 1944, she was sunk after being bombed by United States Navy carrier based aircraft in Manila Bay, Philippines.

Orban;

We have stopped migration at our borders, we have banned the sexualization of children and gender propaganda in schools, and we are also working uncompromisingly for peace. It works. We have won four in a row. People feel that they are being played. They support the political force that protects and represents the interests of the whole nation. Yes, popular will, or democracy itself, is the main weakness of the progressive forces. Is this where they can be caught?

Ladies and gentlemen, there are two ways to take a city, as they knew in ancient Rome. Either you take the walls of the city, or you take the sanctuaries of the city. My advice is that we start with the sanctuaries, then we take the walls. We have taken great European sanctuaries in recent years. Budapest, Warsaw, Rome, Jerusalem, Vienna are not hopeless, but the truth is that the two main sanctuaries of modern democracy, Washington and Brussels, are still in the hands of the liberals. Let us make sure that this is not the case.

I wish you all God’s support and perseverance in doing so. And if we are to meet on May 4, may the Force be with you.

The Newfoundlander s launched their attack from their second line of trenches. The unit suffered heavy losses before reaching THEIR OWN front line, let alone the German front line.

The memorial is that of a Newfoundland caribou, bellowing in agony, at those losses.

The PM is not a recognized position and not the head of state. The monarch is. The system has worked well for Australia as we’re one of the oldest stable democracies in the world.

I really think the PM position is far too political to be head of state and if we chose to go the Presidency route a popularly elected president would want power and that changes the system of governance. Don’t mess around with something that works.

Sky did a great job. The whole ceremony, from the initial coach trip to the return to Bucking ham Palace has been magnificent. So well organised. And the religious part suitably inclusive for a modern Britain but extremely traditional as a Protestant service. My ancestors in their little church near the Thames estuary, who fled to Britain from persecution for their protestant beliefs, and who slotted well into that little eleventh century Parish church and Cranmer’s Book of Common Prayer, would have been proud. I was proud too.

Whoa. Hairy has now set me to watch in my study, while he commandeers the Foxtel in the other rooms for his ceremonial watching of the (recorded) Big Game. I insist on watching the Coronation thru to the bitter end. Just saw the ABC interview two darling women bishops, one black. Really lovely girls, I thought.

I was so nervous for Queen Camilla as that crown was first placed on her head. You know what it’s like when someone puts a hat on you – you always want to immediately adjust it slightly – and you could see that her fringe was getting into her eyes a bit and she had a surreptitious go at pushing it back under. She just had to leave it after that though, and then had to raise from her chair and walk with it on. Her dress was unfortunately just that little bit too long, and her steps thus had to be so cautious. She appeared almost terrified for that part of the ceremony. If she’d had to grab her crown to keep it on the gossips would have may hay with that.

Charles looked half out of it for some of the ceremony. I think the medieval thing behind the screens really got to him. Truly a bit touched by the holy spirit. The enormity of it had hit home to him.

He notes that the ceremony stays fundamentally traditional. Their discussion on the ‘faith’ vs ‘faiths’ issue is seen as something QE11 also encouraged, in terms of protecting rights of all faiths, including none.

Issue of incremental change? Point made that the monarchy is not modernisable, and that it stands for something people care deeply about. Maintaining relevance is crucial, they agree.

P, I didn’t mind Rishi Sunak’s reading at all. It was sensitively read. His schooling at Winchester School and then on to Oxford has provided him with an excellent understanding of British Christianity and he is Prime Minister, so a prominent figure for a reading.

Like you, I blanched at first with the Gospel singers, but Hairy and I agreed at their conclusion that their Aleluia was rather beautiful, not holy roller stuff, and as he noted, the Anglican church is growing strongly in Africa now, so an African mode was not jarring.

Piers Akerman:

Supporters of the Voice proposals are either naive in the extreme or wilfully duplicitous.

Their advertising is all about recognition – but almost no one opposes some form of recognition that this continent was inhabited when Europeans arrived.

Indeed, the greatest living former Prime Minister, John Howard, put forward a more than adequate preamble to the Constitution and his able successor Tony Abbott also had a crack at a form of words which would have filled the bill.

Absent from the Yes ads are the rest of their demands from the Uluru statement.

A Yes vote will deliver a new unelected race-based body, with as yet no known form, with a mission that extends to a treaty or treaties and compensation to descendants of Aboriginals.

Why the children of the massive wave of migrants who arrived over the past century, indeed, why anyone, should pay reparations to people who identify as Aboriginal full knowing that they are of mixed ancestry and that they are the beneficiaries of an enlightened Western civilisation which largely displaced the murderous, violent, misogynistic tribal culture which may well have existed for 60,000 years, is beyond ridiculous.

But no, the media sycophants of the virtue signalling business leaders insist that the Voice is a “very simple idea”, so simple indeed that they’ve resorted to bullying and cancelling those who explore the full ramifications of this farcical referendum.

Cape York leader Noel Pearson, for whom I had a lot of respect over the past three decades, once preached that “welfare is a poison to my people”, and the recently deceased G.Yunupingu, speaking to the celebrated author Nicolas Rothwell at a Garma festival in August, 2011, on Yunupingu’s traditional land overlooking the Gulf of Carpentaria, called for the abolition of welfare payments to his people – for the simplest of reasons: “It’s a killer”.

Welfare isn’t mentioned today.

Not one of those now abusing Jacinta Nampijinpa Price, other Aboriginal leaders, and rational opponents of the Voice want to explore the roots of the dystopia that exists in remote communities, the lack of employment opportunities, the truancy that destroys attempts to educate children, the utter dysfunction of so many families.

Nor are they questioning the dispersal of the $35 billion-plus that is spent annually through the multitude of bodies administered by Aboriginal-focused groups … again, why not?

Voice co-author Marcia Langton was present at Garma and said of Yunupingu’s words: “If (G.) Yunupingu has taught me anything over 30 years, it is that we must not become dependent on governments, we must teach our children to work and we must reform the education system to ensure future generations will be able to participate in the economy.”

Where did you get lost Marcia?

One of the most insightful scholars, the former Minister for Territories and Governor-general, Sir Paul Hasluck, noted in 1980 after more than half a century’s involvement in Aboriginal affairs: “It seems to me that discussion of rights in recent years has tended to obscure the recognition of needs and opportunities of this minority in the Australian population”.

“If equal rights are not enjoyed, that defect would appear to be due to lack of ‘the corresponding responsibility’ in both white and coloured Australians.”

Presciently, he wrote “today, far too many Australians are taking that easy way out by making speeches and writing reports about rights and not getting down to the hard and exacting problems of analysing and redressing the handicaps of the underprivileged and the disadvantaged. Having a right is an incomplete benefit.

“The value of a right depends on the way it is used. So many of the present disadvantages of the Aborigines are not due to a lack of rights but to the lack of care and skill and consideration in the way rights are recognised.

“Thirty or 40 years ago there was a tendency to differentiate between tribal Aborigines, partly detribalised Aborigines and those part-Aboriginals who were living in various degrees of contiguity to and absorption into the general Australian community, and to assume that what suited one group might not suit another.

“Nowadays the fully tribal desert nomad and the person with a tertiary education and only one Aboriginal grandparent are both regarded as ‘Aborigines’, having a common voice and a common future. Policy for Aborigines nowadays covers a population that is large and diverse whereas it used to cover a smaller and more narrowly defined population that was nearly homogenous.”

The Voice proposals don’t recognise the diversity across the Aboriginal community, the mixed heritage of most Aboriginals.

They are racist and divisive, and must be defeated.

Watching the females here go all soppy

Careful girls! You’ll be “you lot-ed” next. 😀

Not particularly soppy here, I was interested in the service as it might be the only one I ever get to see. ERII’s was always going to be grainy black and white, which probably added to it’s antique nature and mystique.

It was, essentially, a Christian service very much like the commissionings and confirmations I have witnessed in the CofE (now Anglican) here, with obvious bells and whistles. The Psalms, the reading from Colossians, and the entire musical program pointed not to the temporal king but the heavenly one. It was only when they got to the hardware that it really became about Charles.

That screen for the anointing interested me – I must find out it’s provenance, but it may have been done especially by the Royal School of Needlework. The scene was a tree and all the leaves had the names of Commonwealth countries on it, and there were some seraphim and other angelic beings floating around. The cloth of gold surcoat was prepared by another royal garment maker – it looked as though it had been done trapunto style (or what the French call boutis). All technically interesting for a stitcher.

Not so impressed with the Look at Me fashions of the guests, though some of the ladies went for style over flamboyance from my brief observation.

And now it’s over. I won’t speculate on Charles’ faith. That will be between him and the Almighty. His other hobby, Gaia, is another matter. I hope he took the Colossians reading to heart – it’s all under control and isn’t up to him to “save da planet”.

Or both your daughters and your sons to a (usually particularly ugly) drag queen. Imagine the far fascist fool in drag.

There is a point where enabling racist bullshit fairytales ends in murder.

It’s called incitement and it’s still in the criminal statute. But its main current user, the media, is both a parrot and enforcer for the American ruling class (even in Australia), so it’s not being enacted as it would be in a system that upheld equality before the law.

There is a point where enabling racist bullshit fairytales ends in murder. It was found here.
Huh?

Somebody convinced this murderer it was totally cool to murder whites because, umm, racism and stuff.

Don’t be silly.
These people have Agency.
He thought he could get away with it, so he murdered 2 random people.
The reason he didn’t get away with it is “extremely low IQ”, not “racist fairy tales”.

Many aspects of the COVID-19 outbreak, and response have been problematic. For example, why was the lab-originated hypothesis rigidly shut down for the first couple years of the pandemic? A new set of questions are raised by a set of contracts that can be seen here. The first document, dated November 6, 2015, is between Moderna and the US government’s National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), part of the National Institutes of Health. Titled, “Confidential Disclosure Agreement,” the contract states that NIAID’s proprietary information relates to vaccine research for HIV, influenza, Ebola, and MERS, while Moderna’s “proprietary and confidential information [is] related to design and manufacture of a messenger RNA platform…” This agreement was then amended many times to extend its duration. The next relevant document is a contract from August 22, 2016. In the appendix, the agreement posits that, “Moderna’s vaccine development efforts have spanned various infectious diseases, and include world-class expertise in mRNA construct production optimization, up to and including cGMP drug product manufacturing in order to bring clinical candidates forward through regulatory processes in the US and EU.” More agreements between NIAID and Moderna were signed in 2017 and 2018. A reminder during 2015, Ralph Baric and colleagues from University of North Carolina and elsewhere including Wuhan Institute of Virology world published in the journal Nature “A SARS-like cluster of circulating coronaviruses shows potential for human emergence.” This risky gain-of-function-esq coronavirus modification methodology made its way to China according to an important piece by Rowan Jacobson titled “Inside the risky bat-virus engineering that links American to Wuhan.”
Is two days to create a COVID-19 vaccine credible?

Next, we fast forward to 2019, a mid-December 2019 Material Transfer Agreement between Ralph Baric and team at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and NIAID as well as Moderna, states that the later parties will transfer to the university, “mRNA coronavirus vaccine candidates developed and jointly owned by NIAID and Moderna.” (Italics added.) Also, according to a New York Magazine article published December 7, 2020, Moderna’s COVID-19 vaccine had been “designed by January 13” 2020. The piece’s author David Wallace-Wells noted that this was only two days after the SARS-CoV-2’s genetic sequence was made public by Chinese researchers. The New York Magazine article reported that “the Moderna vaccine design took all of one weekend. It was completed before China had even acknowledged that the disease could be transmitted from human to human, more than a week before the first confirmed coronavirus case in the United States. By the time the first American death was announced a month later, the vaccine had already been manufactured and shipped to the National Institutes of Health for the beginning of its Phase I clinical trial.” An amazing feat.

Or both your daughters and your sons to a (usually particularly ugly) drag queen.

John Nolte has given Disney an epic serve today:

Nolte: Disney’s Child Groomers Drag ‘Guardians 3’ Down to Lousy $110M Opening (6 May)

So how is it possible that the Marvel franchise that seemed to carry more audience goodwill than any other opened to just $110 million this weekend, which was “at the very low end of expectations” and a whopping 25 percent below its predecessor?

No, no, no, no… this is bad for Marvel and Disney, a mixture of superhero exhaustion, too many terrible Marvel movies, and the child predator-stink Disney is getting over everything it touches.

If the very real Bud-Lite implosion tells us anything, it’s that America is sick of fascist corporations looking to normalize and celebrate mental illness, perversion, fetishes, women-minstrelsy, and child grooming.

What else could it be? Super Mario Bros. is about to cross $500 million domestic. But that movie is innocent fun. No one’s using Mario and Luigi to get into your underage son’s pants or your underage daughter’s locker room. Unfortunately, the same cannot be said about the degenerate Walt Disney Co.

Disney burst out of the satanic closet and openly targeted the innocence of our children with their obscenities. Earning back our goodwill might be impossible at this point.

Coruscating. It’s a shame that Disney has fallen in this way after entertaining us for so long. Shows how the Left destroys everything it infects.

I realise that it is hard for someone as stupid as you not to be openly obtuse…

Cast your mind back a couple of weeks to his “I’d make sure of it.” comment.

Tom, this isn’t an America only problem.

If anyone was serious about enforcing Incitement as a criminal offense the Voice BS would be at the top of the list.

Enabling the racist bullshit has to stop.

“Watching the females here go all soppy”

I like history, ritual, majesty and tradition, if you want to call that “soppy”, well that’s your prerogative but “soppy” doesn’t describe me, and I reckon it doesn’t describe most other females here. I know Lizzie and Tinta pretty well, and I would never describe either of these women as soppy. I’ve met Megan and she ain’t soppy. I don’t personally know rosie or calli or pogria but I also wouldn’t describe them as soppy, sentimental or self-indulgent.

Just on the monarchy, and the naysayers here. I voted yes to the republic back in 1999, but I won’t be voting “yes” in any future referendum. There’s more than one reason why I’ve changed my mind but the primary reason is that given the ghastly politicised world we live in, any republic, any president, would simply be yet another tool for the left to daily bludgeon ordinary Australians with. Charles, Camilla, William, Kate and co live thousands of miles away, they mostly act with dignity and regality so, I’ll take King Charles any day over President Adam Goodes, President Lidia Thorpe, President Kevin Rudd, President Malcolm Turnbull, President Kim Beazley. Anyone who thinks a republic will not be politicised by the left is living in la-la land.

Oh and my steamed golden syrup pudding was superb.

Regarding Nambas post about Moderna.

How come it is Moderna that is setting up production facilities in Australia, Canada and UK. Wasn’t Pfizer interested as after all we used far more Pfizer than Moderna.

Often overlooked is the fact most European countries stopped Moderna for younger age groups.

Damned generous of them.

The BBC have confirmed a special one-off TV licence dispensation for the Coronation…

However, if they detect Granny watching Coronation Street without a licence,
there’ll be trouble.

Somebody last night posted about Charles being a better option as head of state than Adam Goodes.

If the Yes vote wins and next is the Republican referendum than you can pretty much guarantee the first head of state will be First Nations and we all know it is not going to be Jacinta Price.

From social media it seems many did not like the ABC coverage of the Coronation. However hardly a surprise.

Outsiders giving the ABC a serve for their petty and ahistorical take on the coronation.
The highlight is footage of Nick Cave taking his seat. He was very well dressed and cut a fine figure. Nice work Nick.
