I’m currently reading the 46-page pdf of proposed alterations to the World Health Org (WHO) amendments to International Health Regulations. Even for a non-tech serf like myself, some of this wording is worrying. The term ‘health’ is being expanded, and aspects of our quality of life being outsourced (even more than previously) to the Legions of the Faceless.

The disgusting treatment of BRS aside, wft were we even doing in that shithole?
The US called us on ANZUS, since they’d been attacked.
The problem wasn’t the being in there, it was US Gen Staff hadn’t learned from Israel, or Rome for that matter, which is to go in, hammer everything flat, then leave.
They didn’t learn from McNamara in Vietnam. You can’t win sending messages with precise strikes on certain targets.
Unfortunately, I think the US attacked the wrong country. It should have been Saudi Arabia. I don’t think the governments heart was in it. But they were only wasting the lives of thousands of their young men and those of their allies so they could keep up the facade of the ‘War on Terror’.
I know this has been covered here already.

feelthebern on: So do we really as a county want to go down this rabbit hole?
Yes. If Australia is going to commit people to some overseas adventure, the story needs to be told warts & all.
My point is, that after the shooting and bombing and so on of a country at war has died down, it’s very easy to start investigating matters and conclude some of of your people are “war criminals.” In the ease of peace, and the luxury of logical analysis carried out slowly and carefully, your country can go down the route of condemning your own soldiers.
For example, Jacka VC was an enthusiastic killer; there was more than one Aussie massacre of prisoners in WWI, and I have a nice account of Australian Spitfires shooting Japanese aviators descending under parachutes.
It’s not “what happens on tour stays on tour” but if you arrive as a country at routinely condemning and persecuting your own warriors, then good luck finding them when you need them.

It’s clear that the major Australian media organisations, Nine Media, Seven, the ABC, and Ten, when sued for defamation after publishing accusations against particular people, will then stop at nothing to defend their stories, true or not, and in some circumstances they act as a cartel to protect their salacious “scoops”. These media companies have deep pockets, and their ABC’s pockets are very deep, it’s called the long suffering Australian taxpayer. So, what you see is that these companies, with their deep pockets, will string out legal proceedings because it suits their legal cases, it’s a smart tactical move, and it inflicts enormous financial pressure on the plaintiffs. BRS was lucky to have Kerry Stokes financing his litigation, others are not so fortunate. Others would have had to pull the plug earlier, simply unable to continue due to the enormous legal and emotional costs. Lawyers and defamation barristers don’t come cheap. Craig McLachlan is a classic example. Defamed by Nine Newspapers and their ABC who worked together on the story to target McLachlan, the two media organisations operated as a cartel to make life difficult for McLachlan in his defamation suit against them. So, what did McLachlan do? Already financially ruined, his career in tatters, having been charged with criminal sexual assault, then cleared of those criminal charges, he was financially and emotionally exhausted, and he then pulled the plug and ended his defamation case, because it became patently obvious that their ABC and Nine would stop at nothing to fight the defamation case. McLachlan didn’t have a sugar daddy by the name of Kerry Stokes.
For example, Jacka VC was an enthusiastic killer; there was more than one Aussie massacre of prisoners in WWI, …
So, murdering POWs is cool, or Jacka should have his VC taken back?

Message in a box their best
In a posthumous prophecy that has been withheld intentionally until after death, Hubbard claims that 80 million years ago, a group of aliens that exist outside spacetime have a plan to take over the universe by activating an inserted genetic implant that will allow for the enslavement of the universe via telepathic mind control. The implant will be activated during the return of the galactic confederacy, which is “rapidly approaching”. All world religions, except for “Original Buddhism”, are participating in a conspiracy with the aliens to telepathically enslave the universe. Hubbard claims the Second Coming in the Book of Revelation is referring to this event. He portrays his mission as fulfilling “the Biblical promise represented by the Antichrist” where an “arch-enemy of Christ” will emerge and stop the galactic confederacies’ return. Hubbard then describes the Historical Jesus as being “a lover of young boys and men” – implying that he was a homosexual and a pedophile[22]:?186? – and claims “the sainted figure [he] has been made out to be” is due to the R6 Implant. Hubbard then writes, “I will return not as a religious leader but a political one” and “halt a series of events designed to make happy slaves of us all”. Hubbard warns that someone attempting this auditing level without being prepared may discover what it means to “spontaneously combust”. Hubbard also wrote that, with the release of OT VIII, “all the data is now available”, implying to many early participants that this was the last OT level Hubbard intended to publish.[f][23]

The big mistake was giving Masters unlimited access in Afghanistan where he was able to gather the information leading to this sorry saga.
The big mistakes have all been made by Ben Roberts-Smith.

During Covid the grand masters proclaimed that the minimum amount required to be withdrawn from pension funds was reduced, basically by 50%. Now pensioners are advised that of 1 July 2023 the amount to be withdrawn will increase by 50% as per below:
The changes for account-based pensions are outlined in table below.
Age on 1 July 2023 Minimum % of account balance you must withdrawn each year
Current From 1 July 2023
Under 65 2% to 4%
65 to 74 2.5% to 5%
75 to 79 3% to 6%
80 to 84 3.5% to 7%
85 to 89 4.5% 9%
90 to 94 5.5% 11%
95+ 7% to 14%
Minimum pension rates are set by the government, so you’re unable to draw less than the minimum they’ve set.
My questions are:
What will be the impact on the stock market, if any, to release these funds given so many accounts will be affected?
When those people that now get more money receive it, what impact will it have on retail sales etc. Will they spend it on electricity bills, a couple of lunches out and presents for the grandkids?
I’ve not seen any discussion of these issues in the finance media so am looking forwards to Cats comments.
Can’t you just park your pension fund withdrawals in the bank if you don’t need to spend the money?
“Is anyone as sick of this shit, as I am?”
Yep.
They will always have General Angus Campbell.

The latest in this part of the world is that the new Aboriginal Heritage Legislation should render “Reconciliation” a farce and a sham. Oh, and asking how someone with an Aboriginal great great grandfather can claim Aboriginal heritage, is enough to brand you as a racist of the deepest hue.

Because Brave is second-rate rubbish, I have always and will continue to use MS Edge to post cartoons at 4am — because, whatever else it is, MS Edge isn’t second-rate rubbish.

Game, set and match.
I raised the parallel yesterday between this shit-show and the Essendon vitamins rodeo.
This has one key difference, however.
The Essendon targets of the AFL had their hands tied by ASADA and Federal Legislation prohibiting litigation or even any public comment in their own defence.
Fagan, Clarkson and Burt have no such restrictions placed on their legal options.
The AFL thought they could badger a grovelling apology out of them, Hawthorn would pay compo and the virtue signaling would continue unabated. But these guys knew that any admission would be career-ending, so they pushed back in a way the AFL is not used to.
And, of course, if Fagan’s case proceeds, discovery would turn up a very short list of candidates at the AFL who leaked this to their ABC in the first place.
The other thing I note is Fagan’s threat to name them. Their names have been kept under tight wraps for months. Based on what? There is no suppression order in place. It is just a “wink nudge” agreement between the AFL and a compliant media to protect the “victims”.
Just in case you went all gushy over Charlie the Turd.

Really? Has journalism helped or hindered in the most critical issues of the modern scene? In addition to helping neuter our SAS and reduce them to social workers, there are so many areas where journalists are working against the nation’s interests.
1. The Climate Scam, a lethal program aimed at all western democracies, has been pushed along with majority journalist support.
2. Flowing from that, our formerly affordable and reliable energy system has been ruined by the introduction of intermittent, expensive and unreliable wind and solar. Journalist have for the most part applauded rather than examine this huge issue properly.
3. Electric cars have been pushed despite numerous problems, and again our journalists have acted more as a cheer-squad than as critical examiners.
4. Wall-to-wall Labor/Green governments at state and federal levels have been facilitated by journalists who fail to present the realities. They prefer to simply accept the daily chook feed from ALP leaders while denigrating conservatives.
5. Journalists for the most part accept that environmental activists are on the side of the angels rather than on the side of the dismantling of our society. No dams built in 40 years? No new hydroelectric power stations, no nuclear power.
6. I didn’t read or hear journalism pointing out the many COVID related scandals. Did they parrot the “horse wormer” meme about Ivermectin? Yes. Did they report about cheap and effective treatments which could have been used instead of expensive, experimental and possibly detrimental vaccines? No.
7. Where were they on the massive over-reach of governments who stole our right to mobility and imposed lockdowns, school closures and mandatory vaccinations? Why didn’t they get upset by the removal of our human rights?
8. Why are they accepting the current meme about “the huge debt we inherited from the previous government” instead of telling their readers about who actually ran up the debt during COVID?
Good moaning.

Each renewable project needs to generate about 400 megawatts of power to justify the 110 million it costs for sub-stations capable of hooking up to a 500 kva transmission line.
In reverse that’s also the reason that Albo’s 28,000km of new line won’t be hooking into any of the regional power grids it passes.
The big lines achieve one thing though – it allows the energy industry market players trade megawatts right along the length of eastern Australia.

Love the attempt to deflect by implying this is only happening in their ‘southern stores’ as if all those nasty confederate rednecks are doing the damage to the Target brand. Nice try lads. It’s a national store and those are national numbers.
“The judgement depended on the testimony of other SAS troopers against BRS. Without it McKenzie and Masters would have lost.”
Correct, and the testimony of people like his ex-wife, the mother of his children. You would think that his ex, no matter what her feelings towards BRS are, would have thought, “well, he’s the father of my children” so I’ll stay shtum, but alas no, she willingly participated in the lynching. I wonder what the Mrs ex-BRS told her children last night, with the unsavoury headlines plastered over every media outlet in Oz and also overseas, that their father, the man she also helped knife, is a “murderer and war criminal”? How will they deal with that, Mrs ex-BRS? Schools and schoolchildren are brutal places. No doubt they will be taunted and teased about their father. Well done Mrs ex-BRS, for the rest of his life BRS is a blemished and marked man, have you told your children that?
As I wrote last night, large media companies will deliberately string it out, and they’ll scrape the bottom of various barrels to pork up their allegations. They have deep pockets, most people do not. BRS was fortunate in having Stokes help him financially. Craig McLachlan was not and that’s why he pulled the plug on his defamation case against their ABC and Nine.
Rosie made the comment yesterday that the case had some parallels with the Oscar Wilde case. She’s not wrong, it was always a risk. Perhaps BRS should not have pursued defamation. I don’t know. All I know is that media outlets intend to use exactly the same tactics against Bruce Lehmann in the upcoming defamations trials.
News alert.
Pregnant woman exists.
Let’s show Ben Roberts-Smith VC he’s not alone. If you are on Facebook add an “I Support BRS” frame to your profile picture.
The Danistan google map spy operatives have discovered 200 expanded or new dams along the Moorabool catchment.

Literally the ‘end of times’

If you are referring to BRS as not bright you are wrong.
You try and do what he has to do under pressure knowing you could be dead at any moment.
The journo’s and the lawyers are the dumb ones. Could not pump up a car tyre at a servo.
Price controls are the proven road to economic catastrophe—so the Nawab of No. 10 naturally wants to breathe life into that corpse.
The Nawab of No. 10…pay that!
How could you possibly misgender it? That’s unthinkable!
All these magazines have a nihilistic death wish.
You really are an idiot, monty.
“Stop hiring useless White males”–Royal Air Farce
Here’s hoping all those white nationalist militias the marxists claim are running around the bush are keeping up with their training. Maybe slip them a Hornet and an MLRS or two. We’re going to need them.
Breaker Morant good: BRS bad.
“Breaker Morant good: BRS bad.”
Indeed. Ned Kelly good….BRS bad.
The NEM won’t work as predictably with a high level of intermittent renewables in play; prices will be more volatile, increasing risk and prompting government intervention.
Maybe tell Adam Bandt. Yesterday he was advocating price controls on everything.
Adam Bandt proposes ‘unprecedented’ changes to Australia’s economy to prevent ‘using everyday people as cannon fodder’ (Sky News, 1 Jun)
Greens Leader Adam Bandt says the government needs get their “hands on the lever” and start trying to take control of the cost-of-living crisis rather than leaving it to the Reserve Bank of Australia.
…
“There’s an alternative approach which involves the government getting its hands on the lever saying we’re going to freeze rents, stop mortgages going up and instead look at the huge profits that the supermarkets, the banks, the big gas corporations are making – start making them pay their fair share of tax and use that to deliver real cost-of-living relief to people.
“That’s how you tackle inflation without hurting everyday people but if Labor just washes its hands, leaves it all up to the Reserve Bank, more people are going to suffer more pain.”
The MP for Melbourne suggested freezing electricity bills could provide a solution and inflict some responsibility on electricity companies.
“One of the big drivers of inflation at the moment is not only rents, but also rising power bills,” he said.
“How do you deal with that? You freeze electricity bills at pre-crisis levels, you force the electricity companies to pay their fair share of tax because they’re making a huge amount of profit at the moment and you use it to fund an electricity bill freeze.”
Ironic that he wants to freeze electricity bills and tax electricity companies when the reason the price is so high are Green renewable energy and activism against gas drilling. The one thing that would certainly cause is massive blackouts South Africa style. Why are Greens so dumb?

Hawthorn Football Club is racist to it’s core.
I can say that because it is blaring on Fairfax front pages.
And the fat fascist (also racist?) fool is a supporter of this disgraceful conduct.
Anthony Albanese looks like Gough Whitlam 2.0
It’s taken 48 years, but we’ve finally got a fully fledged Whitlam government version 2.0.
Terry McCrann
It’s taken 48 years, but we’ve finally got a fully fledged Whitlam government version 2.0.
Back in 1983, the one thing both incoming prime minister Bob Hawke and his de facto deputy treasurer Paul Keating were absolutely determined not to be, was a replay of the wall-to-wall, start-to-finish Whitlam disaster.
They built their “Not-Whitlam” ambition and their consequent policy and political success on the pivotal role played by “their little mate”, ACTU secretary Bill Kelty, delivering the all-critical Prices and Incomes Accord.
Fast-forward to 2007 and there were certainly elements of a Whitlam replay in the Rudd years – with the PM himself rather than his ministers playing multiple rolls in going rogue. In the Whitlam period, it was almost the entire cabinet, going off on their own individual frolics, while Gough had played Imperial Caesar, above it all. In any event, less than a year in, Rudd – and his hapless treasurer Wayne Swan – got ambushed by the GFC.
After that it was all about paddling desperately to stay afloat, with Rudd at war with much of his own cabinet and then Julia and hers.
But now, in just 12 months, PM Albanese is looking increasingly like a 21st century replay of Whitlam, and his ministers clones of their Whitlam counterparts.
Whitlam had been all about striding the world stage, embracing grandiloquent themes, both internationally and at home – all with precious little relevance and even less benefit to the vast numbers of the hoi polio.
So also – albeit, without the Whitlam grandeur and hauteur – has been Albanese. Indeed, given the vaster number of international groupings now than then, Albanese has spent almost his entire premiership to date flitting from one international meet to the next. They’ve been a plethora of formal groups such as G20, one-on-ones with presidents and fellow PMs, to assorted triplets such as AUKUS, and quads like, well, the Quad.
Then, when at home, it’s been all grand and not-so grand gesture – from the utterly futile and equally unachievable and just simply pointless net zero, to The Voice, and on to The Treaty and who knows what and where else.
Just as with Whitlam, does any of this mean even close to four-fifths of five-eighths of copulating all to the average Aussie? While Rome figuratively burns?
Does any of it even pretend to deal with any of the issues ripping into lives daily – cost of power, cost of living more broadly, rents, housing, soaring mortgage payments?
Whatever happened to “The Plan” that was going to wave its magic wand and solve all that, and more? But, while the PM’s away – literally on a plane, or on his higher plane – the ministers run riot, led by the “twerp-in-chief” Chris Bowen, doing a bizarre replay of Whitlam’s resources minster Rex Connor.
Connor wanted to spend billions crisscrossing Australia with gas pipelines; Bowen wants to spend tens of billions doing it with wires, strung from useless wind turbine to closed-by-night solar panels.
As for Treasurer Jim Chalmers, space permits me only to note: Jim, I knew Paul Keating, you are no Paul Keating.
Daily Tele Indeed yes, and talk about a honeymoon from most of the media.

Former Chicago mayor Lori Lightfoot now teaches at Harvard.
The Harvard endowment must be one of the biggest private slush funds in the world.
Harvard is an investment fund that runs a college as a sideline.
When you never have to answer for the damage your policies do there is no incentive to self-examination.
Bandt is sort of right about one thing though….politically Albanese can’t ignore cost of living indefinitely.
I what universe is this not a sexist, racist remark?
Oh. That’s right.
The Time of Civility is over. It is now the Time of Humpty Dumpty, where words mean what they want them to mean.
Freeze electricity prices, electricity retailers go broke.
And these mega profitable businesses, who owns most of the shares, why it’s ordinary people via their superannuation accounts.
Have another serve of dumbcake Dudam.
They are not “dumb”.
But “dumb” makes an excellent smokescreen for something else. Something malignant, that can’t be shamed.
There’s your problem right there, abandoned a meritocracy.
‘Diversity’ should never be a goal in it’s own right.
He added: “We were doing all we could to tackle this intractable problem, which is the lack of diversity in our service.”
Some real undercover journalism!
I joined eco-mob Animal Rising and their contempt for ordinary Britons was extraordinary (1 Jun)
Express journalist Max Parry details how he infiltrated the Animal Rising eco-mob and exposed their plans to disrupt the Epsom Derby.
Animal Rising – the fanatical band of vegans intent on running riot during the Epsom Derby – is a group full of exactly the sort of people you’d expect; sandal-wearing middle-class semi-pro activists desperate for a banner to stand behind, with contempt for ordinary people who don’t share their radical worldview.
In April, I infiltrated the group of eco-warriors after attending ‘The Big One’ in London – a climate convention led by Extinction Rebellion, Just Stop Oil, and Animal Rising, amongst others.
A fake name, email address and a vague ability to parrot the vegan fanatics’ mantra of “repairing humans’ broken relationship with the animal kingdom”, and I was in. No ID check, no vetting, no questions asked.
Perhaps when you’re so convinced of the moral purity of your group, it’s difficult to imagine that anyone would seek to expose it for what it really is.
…
One by one, King Houston encouraged new members to outline their own credentials, prompting each wide-eyed activist to try to prove that they too were authentic rebels for the cause.
Jenny, a long-haired Extinction Rebellion veteran wearing a t-shirt emblazoned with the slogan ‘The Future Is Vegan’, revelled in telling her fellow eco-zealots how “incredible” she found the experience of disrupting London’s Billingsgate and Smithfield markets – home to the capital’s traditional blue-collar fish and meat vendors.
During her introduction, the mid-60s videographer revealed she “talked to chickens” for her “mental health”, to nods and smiles from the room of activists.
I was having trouble seeing the Express, they may have tightened access up. But after talking to some chickens they suggested I switch VPN servers, which worked.
Bother I used a bad comma.
Coincidentally, ‘Lefty Lunatic and Former San Francisco D.A. Chesa Boudin Hired by U.C. Berkeley Law’
Thank goodness neither school has a reputation left to worry about.
Incidentally in today’s Australian army I wonder how many female soldiers are expected to work 12 hour shifts, including night shifts and achieve a work life balance or is that work exclusively for male soldiers with young families?
