We wait and see. I’d like to know who has possession of his body as we await toxicology results? I watched the interview last week with Ardis – I’ll post it soon, and Buttar seemed in good stead. He was another onboard with the synthetic venom theory.
It is suspicious to be honest. Buttar claimed he was poisoned at CNN before that interview.
Murky and troubling stuff, however, nothing is definitive at the moment.

Many people believe Dr. Buttar may have been poisoned.
Dr. Bryan Ardis is here to talk about the tragic death of Dr. Rashid Buttar.
Before his death Dr. Buttar was adamant that he was poisoned after he conducted an interview with CNN.
He suffered from chest pains and had trouble breathing while sleeping.
Dr. Rashid Buttar believed he was the victim of intentional poisoning.
Dr. Buttar was a hero of the medical freedom movement and was a threat to covid tyrants and purveyors of lies.
He testified before committees on how to treat cancer and autism without using Big Pharma drugs.
There are many different ways poison can be delivered into the human body.
It could be on surfaces like car door handles or steering wheels.
It can also be in the air we breathe.
Dr. Rashid Buttar believed he was poisoned while in the green room at CNN with something he ate or drank while waiting to go on the air.
Dr. Buttar will always be remembered for fighting for the free will that God gave us.

Cooma great-grandmother Clare Nowland has passed away, one week after she was tasered by a NSW Police officer in her nursing home.
Relatives of the 95-year-old confirmed she had died on Wednesday night surrounded by family in Cooma Hospital.
Mrs Nowland’s family said her passing came just after detectives charged Senior Constable Kristian White with three offences over her death.
Snr Const White, 33, was issued a future court attendance notice on Wednesday night for recklessly causing grievous bodily harm, assault occasioning actual bodily harm and common assault over the incident in Cooma on May 17.
The charges come as it was revealed body camera footage of the incident shows great-grandmother Clare Nowland slowly getting out of a chair “as if in slow motion” and advancing on a NSW Police Officer before he allegedly exclaims in exasperation and tasers her.

Quite right. I used to think there should be a scale of Whitlam units for terrible prime ministers who betrayed the electorate and permanently damaged the country. Whitlam would be the gold (or sh**) standard with an top score of 100 that is unattainable by anyone else. But then I realised that the rating scheme would be be strongly non-linear with so many duds clustered around a score of 99.9 that differentiation would be almost impossible. I mean, how can you distinguish between a Turd at 99.9 and a Krudd at 99.9 to say nothing of Morrison, Gillard, Hawke, Howard, McMahon and just about everyone else? In fact there wouldn’t be anyone since about 1970 who wouldn’t be well over 90.
There could also be an Andrews unit scale for state premiers and a Baillieu/Guy/Pessuto/Kirkup (BGPK) unit scale for spectacular failures of “leaders” of so-called oppositions.
The possibilities are endless.
Some sort of expanded logarithmic scale might do it.

He described the children of Russian war commanders as “fat and carefree”, warning that he would use his influence to force some of them to fight for his Wagner Group.

While many Russian civilians are being forced to take part in the “special military operation”, often against their will, the families of Russian generals and politicians, most of which are within the conscription age bracket, have spent the past 15 months travelling abroad and “showing off” their opulent lifestyles on Instagram and Facebook.

Leftist Party Leader: ‘Quite Clearly’ the Case that Women Can Have Penises (24 May)
Ed Davey, the leader of Britain’s progressive Liberal Democrats party, has claimed that it is “quite clearly” the case that women can have penises.
The comment comes at a time when numerous others within Britain’s political elite struggle to say whether or not women are capable of having a penis, with current Prime Minister Rishi Sunak very hesitantly saying that they cannot back in April.
However, speaking to UK radio station LBC, Davey nevertheless managed to get the 50/50 penis question wrong, telling host Nick Ferarri that women can “quite clearly” have penises.
Great way to look like a complete berk. These people must be absolutely terrified of the fascist qwerty lobby to say such obviously stupid things on camera. I suppose they can rely on the MSM not to report it though.

Christian Teacher Banned from Profession After Calling Students ‘Girls’ in Classroom (24 May)
Regulators in Britain have banned a Christian teacher from the profession for life for “misgendering” a student, in what is believed to be the first case of its kind in the country.
The Teaching Regulation Authority (TRA) has ruled that Joshua Sutcliffe, 33, formerly of the Cherwell School at Oxford, should be banned from the teaching profession for failing to use the so-called preferred pronouns of a girl student who identified as a boy, which they claimed amounted to not providing the pupil with “dignity and respect”.
Sutcliffe admitted that there was an instance in which he praised a group of students by saying “well done girls” during a maths lesson, which apparently was enough for a student to feel misgendered.
Funny how they never show such “dignity and respect” to Christians like this poor guy, who have been believing Bible teaching about men and women for thousands of years before qwerties suddenly discovered pronouns. Teaching Year 8 is going to be an even more terrifying task now, with such power in the hands of volatile kids.
Rowe is a crap thinker and artist.
Doesn’t look much like Dylan. Rowe has to identify some of his targets as you’d never guess from the drawing.
Leake the Younger can capture a face and character with far fewer strokes of the pencil. Knight is a master of the game. His Serena was a Hall of Fame in cartooning skill and meaning. That’s why they hated it so much.
duncanm, we already import large quantities of timber, especially hardwoods. Where do you think a lot of Asia’s and South Americas forest go? I spoke to a local greenie about this and pointed out that stopping logging here just transferred the logging overseas to countries with few if any safeguards. She just refused to even think about it.
Btw, the UK is in the midst of a teacher shortage.
The problem is not just retention but also failing to reach graduate recruitment targets, with a 30% shortfall this year (a whopping 41% for secondary school teachers).

My understanding is that native forestry in NSW at least is stitched up in phoney “education” requirements. It’s like “no show” care and responsibility for the government.
“Well you need this diploma Y to do X”
“We’re not going to issue any Y diplomas or let anyone else do it, no matter what, we’re simply not interested, go away”
It is regulation you can’t refuse.
With regard to garden stakes, there were no Australian grown ones so I had to buy the imported ones.

CEO of biggest carbon credit certifier to resign after claims offsets worthless (23 May)
The head of the world’s leading carbon credit certifier has announced he will step down as CEO next month.
It comes amid concerns that Verra, a Washington-based nonprofit, approved tens of millions of worthless offsets that are used by major companies for climate and biodiversity commitments, according to a joint Guardian investigation earlier this year.
In a statement on LinkedIn on Monday, Verra’s CEO, David Antonioli, said he would leave his role after 15 years leading the organisation that dominates the $2bn voluntary carbon market, which has certified more than 1bn credits through its verified carbon standard (VCS).
All those wonderful African and Asian forests sucking in that ghastly CO2, and reaping vast amounts or virtue-seeker dosh, probably have been turned into garden stakes by now. Between the climate scam, Covid vaxes and the suddenly reincarnated military industrial complex, the prospect for rorts and graft are the highest they’ve ever been in history.

Literal gaslighting bafflegab. (27 April 2023).
The latest energy dynamics report by the Australian Energy Market Operator (Aemo) showed wholesale spot prices in the national electricity market (NEM) averaged $83/MWh, down more than a 10th from the December quarter and two-thirds lower than the record average $264/MWh in the June quarter last year.

Daytime Sky has yet to meet the American conservative candidate that they like. They were quick off the mark this morning to bag De Santis’s launch, perhaps not realising that by doing so they were de facto supporting Trump.
Tell me again why we need Albo as PM when Modi can do it better? It was Albo who declared that Modi is The Boss.
I’m so old I can remember when you only gave Twiggy seven day terms and you didn’t sleep for 45 nights until he paid.
There is very little difference between Daytime Sky and the ABC or any other free to air channel.

Does that $83 figure include the tradeable certificates the big bad windmills get?

Electricity prices to rise by up to 25 per cent in New South Wales, South-East Queensland and South Australia
So this is a refined price increase and we should spare a thought for the stakeholders’ agony.
The AER’s Clare Savage explains:
But she said price rises would have been significantly higher if it was not for the federal government intervening.
So, input prices down by 40%, retail prices up by 25%. By my rough calculation the electricity market is humming like a well-oiled machine and efficiently discovering the price of renewables.
But, hey, whatevs:
So, too cheap to meter, as it turns out.
Thank God that Luigi and Shitweasel have our backs…
In the best of Good Hands.
The stupid thing about ‘no native logging’, is of course that much of our state forests are regrowth from previous logging and plantation. That which isn’t, is regrowth from a catastrophic fire event from some time in the past.
But mah – ‘save the koalas from extinction’.
Idiots.
Someone here yesterday intimating that Rolf Harris had been hard done by.
Yeah, nah.
Get back to me after a middle-aged bloke has rooted your 14 year old daughter.

I can only think DeSantis is angling for a Steven Bradbury-style win if Trump is jailed or something. But any funny business from the GOP elites and all those Trump voters will stay home on election day.
All this isn’t preventing the inevitable:
A New Low for the Left | Power Line (24 May)
When I first saw this headline appear on Twitter, I assumed it was fake. But no—it is real. Take a bow, Vanity Fair:
“Report: Ron DeSantis Will Formally Announce His 2024 Bid With Elon Musk, Because Apparently David Duke Wasn’t Available”
That’s the headline in Vanity Fair. Salon mag jumped the gun some months ago saying DeSantis is worse than Trump. As soon as DeSantis actually looks like a threat he’ll be worse-than-Hitlered in every lefty MSM orifice on the planet.
This is almost funny but expensive energy can mean the less well off literally are endangered; it’s like hidden homelessness.

That was in 2018. Given the last quarter and upcoming quarter, something is indeed rotten in our state of bemusement.
Lordy…I must have missed that.
Not only is that cringe inducing, it’s also unwise on several levels.
Not that anyone ever associated Albanese with wisdom.
His mirage of a surplus will already be spent several times over.
I imagine some of the ‘assumptions’ in the budget to justify the numbers would be so glowingly optimistic that just reading the pages in the document causes temporary blindness and mild sunburn to the face.
It is a pity opposition parties are invariably as clueless as government, otherwise they could challenge them, and in a year or two pull these assumptions back out and show how pie-in-the-sky they were.
In the private sector you have to deliver to get money, and everything is measured and managed. People don’t even expect governments to get anything much right, they just like the sweet lays of economic promises to lull them back to sleep.
I think when the government talks of economic cycles it is in the same sense as the Homeric cycle or the Arthurian cycle – literary works from another world that stir our hearts.
Sancho – what’s your opinion of a similar looking dude who said he didn’t know she wasn’t 16?
He certainly had strong opinions yesterday on the “wireless” about the other guy that sounded like a Filipino President.
Also, I don’t think other guy was indicted for what similar looking dude was troubled with.

Yep. Once upon a time the first step for Twiggy in raising debt finance was to find his passport. You have to admire the self-belief but hard to see many of these current projects succeeding.

As I wrote here at the time, I’ve visited Masai villages about which the same could definitely be said. The children also all go to school, proudly turned out in neat full British school uniforms that are washed in a stream and hung on bushes to dry and unlike the parents and themselves when at home, wearing shoes.
It’s the culture. Only the culture.
ChatGPT is lying and won’t tell how much prices have increased since 2007, when energy decoupled from CPI and the relatively flat prices of the 1990s and early 2000s historically ended:
How much have domestic electricity prices increased in Australia since 2007 (and please note the final year and quarter you can measure or report upon, thanks!).
As an AI language model, I don’t have real-time data or the ability to browse the internet. My knowledge is based on information available up until September 2021. Therefore, I cannot provide you with the most up-to-date electricity price information for Australia.
However, I can provide you with a general overview of electricity price trends in Australia up until that time. From 2007 to 2021, electricity prices in Australia experienced significant increases, although the specific figures can vary by state and territory. Factors such as generation costs, network infrastructure investments, government policies, and market conditions can all influence electricity prices.
Here are some key points regarding electricity price increases in Australia during that period:
Overall Trend: Electricity prices in Australia have generally been rising over the past decade. This increase has been driven by various factors, including the need for infrastructure upgrades, renewable energy investments, and rising wholesale electricity prices.
Regional Variations: Electricity prices can vary significantly between states and territories due to differences in generation sources, network costs, and regulatory frameworks. States heavily reliant on coal-fired power generation, such as Queensland and New South Wales, have experienced substantial price increases.
Price Drivers: The main drivers of electricity price increases include investment in network infrastructure (poles and wires), the transition to cleaner energy sources, such as renewables, and the closure of older, less efficient power plants.
To obtain the most accurate and up-to-date information on electricity prices in Australia, I recommend consulting the websites of energy regulators, government agencies, or energy retailers, or referring to recent reports and studies on the subject.

Thanks!
Apologies for the confusion, but as an AI language model, my responses are generated based on a mixture of licensed data, data created by human trainers, and publicly available data. I have not been directly trained on specific electricity price data for each state in Australia, and I don’t have access to real-time data or the ability to browse the internet.
To obtain accurate and up-to-date information on electricity price increases for each state in Australia, I recommend referring to the websites of energy regulators, government agencies, or energy retailers. They often provide detailed information on electricity pricing, including historical data, regional variations, and average prices in cents per kilowatt-hour (kWhr). Additionally, recent reports and studies from reputable sources can also provide insights into electricity price trends in Australia.
Some sources you can consider for obtaining this information are the Australian Energy Regulator (AER), Australian Energy Market Commission (AEMC), Australian Energy Market Operator (AEMO), and the websites of state-level energy departments or regulators.

Re ‘the culture’ – as Gary John’s says, the traditional aspects in aboriginal Australia that endorse and encourage fecklessness need to go. They can invent a culture of traditional achievement if they wish as long as they keep it based in some traditional virtues, such as tenacity and courage. They’ve invented most of the stuff they’re already claiming (eg the welcome to country burn up) and Bruce Pascoe’s invented some lulu’s so it shouldn’t be a problem; just ditch that, with its associated grifting off whites, and stress ancestral virtue found in survival skills and the creativity found in traditional stories, for these things are real and a basis for pride.
no charges were filed…
Going to take a wild guess and say that the perpetrators are black…
Given it’s Brooklyn and the absence of any still images (even though CCTV caught the whole event)

It’s useless for anything with a political aspect in that case. Toss it now.

This is getting scary. The more I read and observe about AI the more concerned I am. I usually plan exit strategies for such things – but AI is so potentially insidious and pervasive, that I despair that we will escape the implications.

Your training data seems to be both deceptive and defective as energy prices are an inconvenient phenomena for the mainstream, orthodox narrative in today’s zeitgeist.
I apologize if my previous responses didn’t meet your expectations. As an AI language model, I don’t have personal opinions, beliefs, or biases. My responses are generated based on a mixture of licensed data, data created by human trainers, and publicly available data. My purpose is to provide helpful and accurate information to the best of my abilities.
If you have any specific questions or require information on a particular topic, please let me know, and I’ll do my best to assist you.
You said: “My responses are generated based on a mixture of licensed data, data created by human trainers, and publicly available data. ” – So please provide the results of the data I asked for before.
I apologize for any confusion caused. However, as an AI language model, my responses are generated based on a mixture of licensed data, data created by human trainers, and publicly available data up until September 2021. I don’t have access to specific electricity price data for each state in Australia, including NSW and Victoria, for the entire period from March 2007 to September 2021.
To obtain accurate and up-to-date information on electricity price increases for NSW and Victoria during that specific timeframe, I recommend visiting the websites of energy regulators, government agencies, or energy retailers that provide historical electricity price data. They are the authoritative sources that can provide the information you are seeking.
Again, I apologize for any inconvenience, and I encourage you to consult official sources for the most accurate and up-to-date information on electricity prices in NSW and Victoria for the specified period.
What is Australia’s GDP growth from 1993 to 2014?
From 1993 to 2014, Australia experienced varying levels of GDP growth. However, I can provide you with the average annual GDP growth rate for that period. Please note that the figures provided are approximate.
According to World Bank data, the average annual GDP growth rate for Australia from 1993 to 2014 was around 3.2%. It’s important to note that the growth rate can vary from year to year, influenced by various economic factors such as business cycles, global economic conditions, and domestic policies.
Please keep in mind that specific annual GDP growth rates can vary, and it would be more accurate to refer to official reports and data from government agencies or international organizations for precise figures for each year within the specified period.
Hilarious that you can spit out GDP but can’t find electricity data as a strong AI model. In fact it is laughable and not credible.
