Woke,English poove jumps the shark with cliches galore over the soccer.
Obviously his previous pommy boyfriend wouldn’t play stopper anymore.
Peta Credlin has another the Voice article up at the Australian.
It is about PM not reading more than one page and big tech censorship regarding her column on the issue. That is that a RMIT fact check says the Uluru statement is only one page despite evidence to the contrary. She goes on to mention the dangers of big tech in relation to misinformation which supports the Government side.
However when you click to read the article you get an error page. I have never had that problem before. Anybody else seeing same thing.
You can however read it in the online version of the paper edition.
Thanks Tom. Like Tinta, my mornings were missing something when your computer fritzed out. Appreciate your consistent efforts!

If these US State Secretaries of State are confirming (albeit slow walked) the US 2020 election was rife with voter fraud, they’ve given Trump a credible defence…and arguably grounds to dismiss many of the charges against him.

An extract …
Bourne 1879, here you go:
Big Tech, Yes camp censors will only reinforce No vote
PETA CREDLIN
There are many reasons to vote against the voice but here are two more. First, the fact that Anthony Albanese is not across the detail of the change to our Constitution and system of government that he’s proposing; and, second, in shades of Brave New World, Big Tech’s increasing censorship of just one side of this national debate.
When a prime minister claims that voters are falling for conspiracy theories, you know he’s getting desperate, but to admit he hasn’t bothered to actually read any of the Uluru Statement beyond the first page – despite committing his government to implement it in full – says a lot about the sort of leader he is.
As suggested by his difficulties with economic statistics during the election campaign, Albanese has never been a details man. This week he copped a lengthy grilling about the voice from Melbourne radio legend Neil Mitchell, who asked him whether he agreed with the longer version of the Uluru Statement that he’d earlier described as “misinformation”.
In response, there was this bombshell: “I haven’t read it.”
Then he added: “Why would I? I know what the conclusion is.” Yet he continued to deny that the Uluru Statement had anything to do with treaty and reparations, even though “Voice, Treaty, Truth” has always been the Uluru activists’ mantra or, to directly quote the document, “the culmination of our agenda”.
A fortnight back in this column, I pointed out that the Uluru Statement from the Heart is not just the one-page poster, which the Prime Minister admits he has got up on his wall. It’s actually a 26-page document that, among other things, calls for reparations to be paid by the Australian taxpayer to Aboriginal people, seeking “a percentage of GDP”, to atone for the “invasion” that began in 1788 and which constitutes their “fundamental grievance” against the Crown.
My evidence for this was a previously unnoticed 112-page Freedom of Information release from the National Indigenous Australians Agency, which comprised records from the regional meetings that led to the 2017 Uluru Convention, and culminated in a 26-page document entitled “Uluru Statement from the Heart”.
This “Document 14” corresponded almost exactly with 16 highlighted pages in the Referendum Council’s final report that were described as “extracts from the Uluru Statement from the Heart”. Except, the council’s report omitted the crucial reference to reparations as a percentage of GDP, which emerged only thanks to the FOI.
Hence my claim that the PM wasn’t being honest with voters about all the ramifications of his voice, and – if it gets up – what comes next.
Since those revelations, the PM has been in overdrive insisting that the voice is just a benign one-page statement inviting the Australian people on a journey of reconciliation.
He told parliament last week that my revelations were a “conspiracy worthy of QAnon”; continuing this week with a claim on Sydney radio that “no serious person” thinks that the Uluru Statement is anything other than one page. Even though one of its principal authors, Megan Davis, had declared on at least six separate occasions, prior to last week, that it is more than just a one-page document. Pat Anderson – who co-chaired the Referendum Council which published 16 pages of extracts from the Uluru Statement – had also said that it was more than one page.
At the Sydney Peace Prize last year, not only did Davis say the Uluru statement was “actually 18 pages”, she also said it was “very important” for Australians to read all of it. Previously, she’d written in this newspaper that “the Uluru Statement from the Heart is occasionally mistaken as merely a one-page document when … in totality (it’s) closer to 18 pages and includes … a lengthy narrative called Our Story”. Yet this week, not only did the PM admit to not reading what voice supporters insist everyone should know; he also said that “Peta Credlin is a smart person … (but) she is saying things that she knows (are) not true”.
But the PM is not the only voice advocate now afflicted with reality denial. To help him out of this hole of his own making, Davis last week insisted the voice was really just one page, despite asserting otherwise for at least five years. And Anderson likewise chimed in, telling ABC’s 7.30 Report last week that it was just 439 words, despite telling a seminar at the University of Melbourne in 2022 that the “Uluru Statement is in fact 18 pages long”.
But this is now much more sinister than just a chorus of voice advocates trying to retrofit the facts to their current political needs.
On August 3, Sky News posted my night’s editorial on Facebook, substantiating the argument that the Uluru Statement is a lot more than just the PM’s one-page poster. A week later, the Big Tech censors blanked it out, plastering this statement where the video used to be – “False information. Checked by independent fact-checkers” – and a link to a document from a hardly unbiased partnership between the RMIT and the ABC.
In the document, the RMIT-ABC “fact-checkers” simply asserted that the Prime Minister, the Uluru Statement’s authors and the NIAA had denied my claim. They were completely oblivious to six years of previous statements by the authors who said otherwise, and disregarded the NIAA’s earlier written confirmation, from its FOI legal team, that Document 14 was indeed the full Uluru Statement.
A clear case of fact-checkers ignoring inconvenient but relevant facts, and Big Tech then blocking anything that’s doesn’t pass the RMIT-ABC test of political correctness.
This is not the first time Big Tech has censored arguments against the voice. Facebook has previously blocked an Institute of Public Affairs discussion featuring senators Jacinta Price and James McGrath. It’s also blocked a post from Advance Australia stating that the voice conferred “special rights” on Indigenous people, again citing RMIT-ABC fact-checkers, despite former judges making the very same point.
It’s wrong for Facebook to cancel views it doesn’t like, rather than be the platform for free speech that it used to claim to be, and letting people judge for themselves.
But think just how much worse this will get if the Albanese government’s proposed bill against misinformation and disinformation passes. Politically correct censorship will become routine if Big Tech faces multimillion-dollar fines for posting material that faceless government officials think is misleading or false. Especially with formerly free speech that the PM himself claims is “misinformation” because it doesn’t fit the political case he’s trying to make.
So far, there’s no suggestion that Big Tech has blocked any pro-voice advocacy, notwithstanding any number of social media posts that it’s racist to vote No or false claims that the official No campaign was using AI to fake Indigenous opposition to the voice.
This voice debate has become quite a dangerous moment for our country. There’s the PM committed to implementing “in full” a statement that he hasn’t fully read, in a bad case of endorsing the cover but not the contents.
There’s the risk Australians may be pressured by moral intimidation and weight of advertising into abandoning our historic commitment to being, in Bob Hawke’s words, a country with “no hierarchy of descent” and “no privilege of origin”. And then there’s the threat to free speech, justified on the grounds that any dissent from the Big Government, Big Business, Big Sport and Big Tech line is somehow “misinformation”.
As a newspaper columnist with my own TV show, I’m not after sympathy. And it’s hard to defend the more extreme statements that difficult subjects always elicit. Yet if free speech is not for everyone, ultimately, it is for no one.

Read between the lines a bit on this one:
Yipirinya students steal school bus, crash stolen car in one week
An Alice Springs principal is reeling after students broke into the school to steal one of its buses, before crashing another stolen vehicle into a tree just days later.
An Alice Springs school principal says some of his students have been “crying out for help” after they stole a school bus just days before another stolen car was crashed into a tree.
Yipirinya School principal Gavin Morris said eight kids, some as young as seven-years-old, broke into the Alice Springs school on Thursday night and stole a school bus.
After intercepting the bus police said they dropped the kids under the age of criminal responsibility back home, while one older child was dealt with under the Youth Justice Act.
“Some of those kids came to school Friday and then Friday night, (some) kids broke back into the school again,” Mr Morris said.
Just days later five kids aged 10 to 12-years-old were driving a stolen car around town when it crashed into a tree.
Mr Morris said the kids had been driving around for five hours, without wearing seatbelts, before the collision.
“I actually thought Monday night was the night where it was going to be an event which we couldn’t reverse,” he said.
“Talking to the first responders at the hospital that night, they’re amazed that the kids didn’t go through the windscreen and die.
“It’s an absolute fluke that no one was severely injured or worse.”
Police said one of the kids involved in the car crash was also among the group that broke into Yipirinya School and stole its school bus last week.
“This is their cry for help – they’re obviously trying to tell us something, and we’re not listening,” Mr Morris said.
Assistant Commissioner Martin Dole said the kids had stolen a Ford Falcon from Speed St in The Gap before they were found at the crash scene.
“Three of the youths from the motor vehicle crash were below the age of criminal responsibility and two of those youth were 12-years-of-age and are being assessed under the Youth Justice Act in relation to that offending,” he said.
Mr Morris said he was not convinced contact had been made with the families involved after the first incident.
“I challenge whether any of that occurred on Thursday night … I went down there to speak to family on the weekend and they had no idea of what was going on,” he said.
However Mr Dole said that was not the case.
“When police take somebody’s young person home, we have to ensure that there’s a responsible adult at that premises,” he said.
“Living arrangements sometimes can mean that there’s seven or eight people in that house … it may be that one of the parents wasn’t spoken to at the time, but there were certainly responsible adults at that house that knew of the behaviour.”

In place of the Aussie Matilda’s Holiday:
National cabinet agrees to build 1.2m new homes in bid to tackle housing crisis
Not instantly clear where the trades and materials are going to appear from. At present the Australian construction industry is struggling to service normal demand – which is not going to be improved by subsidised government crowding out private demand.
It’s an affordability initiative. So get ready for wholly unexpected and unforeseen massive increases in build time and cost.
Wonderful to see the Woke Womyn go down in flames on stolen aboriginal land.
At least the record numbers of migrants (400 000 this calendar year; 200 000+ each year thereafter if you believe the government’s projections) will have somewhere to live.
So where’s he getting the quarter trillion dollars to do this?
I’m assuming $200k per home, which wouldn’t include land costs.
Add in the land and usual govt inefficiency and we’re approaching a trillion.
Thanks for Peta’s article, TE.
The Libs – or anyone – really ought to keep track of the lies that tumble so nimbly from politicians’ tongues. Go back and find as many cases as they can where one thing was said and truth turned out to be different. Actually, it need not even be just lies, but errors where they leapt to make a claim before the facts were in. Covid would be a cornucopia such things. I have no doubt a lot of politicians really believed what they said at the outset.
And it has to be omni-partisan: Libs, Labor, Greens, Teals – anyone and everyone. No one should be able to pose as being able to be blindly trusted.
At issue is that if the powers that be think they possess (or control) truth but that hoi polloi prey to unchecked error, then why would they ever listen to us? What could we have to contribute?
Politicians are fallible, when not being deceptive. A healthy society is not one where ‘truth’ is doled out to the people after being prepared by the political class. It is where the ordinary people exercise their brains every day, sorting the wheat from the chaff of information. It is not as if we don’t do so in every other aspect of our lives.
And when the people decide that a government has failed then they punish them. That is what happened to the Morrison government. And this would also be a great way of disowning missteps.
It is so common for politicians these days to blame everything on the other party no matter what. It would be so refreshing for a political leader to say “we got it wrong and we accept the judgement that was laid on us.”
With the other guys still bleating that they never make mistakes who do you think will come across as more honest and trustworthy?
Is it my imagination that any half wit and nincompoop can be elected as a puppet leader for a Labor government on behalf on the Trade Unions and MSM who pull the strings.
Yes, well, just you stick to chemistry and don’t worry about that. Top Men have this covered.
Whilst Albanese has a reputation for laziness, I’m not buying this. He’s being disingenuous.
That being said, the one page statement is troublesome enough in itself with its blanket statements about sovereignty that go well beyond what the High Court has ever established.
Reading between the lines to see where it’s headed without the annexed 18-26 pages (depending on different accounts) referring to makarrata, reparations and treaties, all of which has been available on the web for five years.
So where’s he getting the quarter trillion dollars to do this?
He only read the one pager.
Why would he read the entire housing policy?
Ol’ one page Albo.
A prelude for shire councils in Victoria …
https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2023/08/report_state_official_refused_to_release_water_to_fight_lahaina_fire_until_too_late.html
I’d suggest there’s going to be a lot of building up in the inner cities rather than out in the suburbs.
As reported last week, Victoria is already streamlining its approvals process to deny local residents and their councils the right to object to medium to high density housing projects and the NSW housing minister has flagged the same with an eye on development in Sydney’s inner northern and eastern suburbs.
It’s an affordability initiative. So get ready for wholly unexpected and unforeseen massive increases in build time and cost.
Just the same with Juliar Gizzard’s Ejucashion Revolution – School Halls and Gyms costing twice as much as they should have. Beware of Gov’ments operating in any market. They will fark it up. They have lots of previous.
Lived experience tells me that the ‘refreshment’ wears off quite quickly.
Exhibit A: Peter Beattie; who got things wrong on an industrial scale – and was an enthusiastic apologiser, knowing that it shut the Courier Mail up and – like a cricketer who habitually ’walks’ – he could reverse engineer a particularly awkward disclosure with ‘You know me, if there’s a problem I’m first to admit it…’
The most effective disinfectant is to have someone outside of the joke:
If only there was some sort of institution that could do this…
This is very like the ‘Building the Edumacation Revolution’, where unzipped their flies and pissed money on building school infrastructure, increasing the amount of work but not the number of people or businesses to carry it out, and thus pushing up the prices to astronomic levels.
JR beat me to it.
So he’s lying. He’s not building 1.2 million homes, he’s building 1.2 million flats.
Given the fiascos lately in the tower block building industry I can’t see a great deal of money being saved, especially when all those flats will have to have EV chargers. Must save the planet! The upgraded electricity infrastructure requirements for such tower blocks would be extremely expensive.
Thanx Tom, Varvel & Branco both on fire this morning .. excellent!
2 dozen uptix .. LOL!
Well done Matildas on your moral victory. Much like the England cricket side, you were patted on the back all the way to not winning the trophy.
Looking forward to hearing Gus Worland on Sports Sunday with his analysis of the ladies. He rightly gave England a smashing over their perceived Ashes result. Thinking he will tongue bathe this.
What they are saying is that they need to be placed into adequately supervised living situations where they are taught both morality and responsibility.
I have become addicted to watching Farage’s daily show. This morning he was eviscerating WEF Kahn over his transport policy outrage.
Farage interviewed the Transport Secretary who announced that because of devolution there was nothing the Government could do.
Farage immediately quoted the Act that directed the Secretary to take action when the Mayor’s policies were considered to be inappropriate.
Ignoring the obvious dishonesty and cowardice of modern Consevatives, wnen are the British elite going to understand that you cannot BS the world’s best and most fearless interviewer and commentator.
Of course these putrid people know that the media has their backs and they simply do not respond. That may not be all that wise with Farage’s capacity to mobilise opinion.
On our festering isle, the ABC’s bra ads editor continues you ignore the demands by the Premier of WA to explain the ABC’s participaion in a terror action. The coup is complete in this ex-democracy.
And ‘we’re not listening’ to that because Stolen Generations hyperbole and nonsense.
No doubt.
The present situation is a result of government at all three levels stuffing it up on migration and housing policy for decades.
I’d say it’s going to work like this – governments will subsidise the affordable housing component of new developments and developers will benefit from a streamlined approvals process if they incorporate that component into their new projects. Maate!

He’s being very careful with his words in order to manage expectations down the line.
Mass migration means medium to high density housing.
Surely you remember voting on this?
Indeed.
The very words “national planning reform blueprint” suggest to me:
• Probability of scheme construction starting in June 2024 – approaching zero%.
• Probability of scheme costs blowing out over $250 billion – approaching 100%.
Thinking of state power on the neck of the citizen – that’s no better explored than the Oliver Anthony song – Rich men north of Richmond, which had been going great guns these last few days. (See ftb’s link above).
Must admit Cats, I’m not particularly fussed about the Schlockerettes losing to the Lionettes. Sam Kerr’s goal was a fantastic effort nonetheless – I was thinking “pass the bloody ball to the unmarked player” (Fowler?) when suddenly Kerr unleashed that glorious strike. Unfortunate as well that she couldn’t bury that volley from point blank range in the last few minutes.
I watched the Chicas V Svedettes match on Tuesday night at the fabulous adiclub on Mrs Mac’s Point, free entry, free food and booze and was able to take a friend. The Schlockerettes would have had no trouble beating either of those two teams, given both their lacklustre performances that night.
Anyway, that’s enough of me pretending to give a rodent’s about womens’ football. Thank goodness the Premier League has restarted, along with the other major European leagues. It will be a welcome relief to see some structured coherent play, along with passes that find the players more often than not, along with some actual skill on the ball.

Next time, just let it burn the old fashioned way.
Mary Whitehouse in the Spectator two weeks ago had an important article on Dumping the Parents (sorry the Mag got tossed while we were away so can’t reference it in full not provide some of her delicious quotes). It’s quite a thing in the UK apparently (and growing here too I suspect) to blame ones’ parenting on all the felt-ills and feelz ‘suffered’ by the present generation of yoof. You know, the terrible things parents did to you by critiquing your clothing or making you come home by midnight or for those a little older, to axe the parents if they offer unwanted child-rearing tips etc. Those sorts of terrible ills. There are websites that encourage this sort of thinking and point out how ‘easy’ it is to ‘ditch the parents’, saying leave now, or save to leave etc. The worst thing is these websites, while having some genuine abuse cases on them, are staffed and invaded by psychologists and especially by trans activists who encourage and condone this sort of family disaffiliation, encouraging a victim mentality and the destruction of relationships that may not actually be very fraught, let alone damaging. For instance, one young girl said she worried her mother might be a TURF, and was told that if so she was living in a toxic environment and should cut all ties immediately. But I love her, said the girl. ‘These people’, (i.e. your parents), said the online friendly (fiendly) adviser know how to get to you, so leave now.
Whitehouse cites stats and other information showing that ‘axing the parents’ is becoming increasingly common in recent years in the UK, another sign of social dislocation and damage due to cancel culture. Anecdotal information here suggests the same thing is happening – enhanced by the politicisation of personal life that young people receive at school and university. Whitehouse laments that what is simple disagreement becomes disaffection overriding deep familial bonds that once shattered may leave all sides unable to reconnect ever again.
We had some discussion here about mothers and daughters recently, showing some of that tendency, on top of what is often a difficult enough generationally dyadic relationship. The distant relative I visited in Queensland is suffering badly from a complete breakdown of this family dyad, where she doesn’t even see her grandchildren any more, refused entry, for no good reason but feelz.
Lastly, eat sh*t albansleazey, you brain damaged mouth frothing disgusting racist opportunist idiot.

Key members of the Yes23 and the Uluru Dialogue will also receive free flights in order to travel to regional and remote Australian to spread the message ahead of the referendum.

Anthony Albanese has never read 26-page manifesto which shaped Uluru Statement from the Heart, despite vowing to implement it ‘in full’
. Anthony Albanese has not read Uluru Statement context
. Yes advisor says First Nations have been ‘encouraging politicians to read it’
Prime Minister Anthony Albanese’s admission that he hasn’t read the additional 25 pages of meeting briefings, notes and context which led to the Uluru Statement from the Heart has been met with ridicule and disbelief.
Mr Albanese has repeatedly vowed to implement the statement ‘in full’, advocating all three pillars that were born out of the dialogues around Australia in 2017: Voice, Treaty, Truth.
It has since been revealed there is an in-depth, 26-page explanation of the statement which calls for reparations, ‘rent’ to be paid, a reconsideration of land rights and a re-writing of Australia’s history.
These arguments were not included in the final statement, however critics are concerned they will be topics that the Voice to Parliament will be interested in pursuing.
The prime minister was asked if he ‘agrees with most of what is said in those pages’ during a lengthy sit-down interview with 3AW’s Neil Mitchell.
To the radio host’s surprise, Mr Albanese revealed he hadn’t read it.
‘I haven’t read it,’ he said. ‘There’s 120 pages, why would I?
Sky News commentator Peta Credlin slammed Mr Albanese’s admission that he hadn’t read the documents as ‘madness’.
She said the PM had repeatedly said he would implement the Uluru Statement of the Heart ‘in full’.
‘Surely, to sign us up to something you admit you haven’t even bothered to read is madness. How do you even know what it is in full if you’ve just read the cover and not the contents?’
She said it was the ‘constitutional equivalent of giving a whole lot of Indigenous activists a blank cheque’.
‘This is a politician who says he’s supported the Uluru push from day one, yet he admits that he’s failed to even flick through the very material that the Uluru authors say everyone must read.’
Her comments were backed up by 2GB morning host Ben Fordham, who said he was ‘astonished’ the PM hadn’t read the documents which led up to the Uluru Statement of the Heart.
‘Are you serious? Indigenous leaders say you should, PM,’ Fordham said.

I m starting to think that the voice is about preserving the Native Title Act. On one of the Sky shows last night there was a map of Australia that showed half, if not more, of Australian continent already under aboriginal ownership due to Native Title Act. As it is only an act NTA can be repealed and the land ownership restored to the crown. If the voice gets voted in the NTA cannot be touched.
Having seen some brand new ’social housing’ recently – which looks like a cross between a stack of shipping containers and some kind of military installation – this is ominous news. I peered through the bars into the brutalist concrete ‘entry foyer’ and I kid you not it had inscribed by the lifts a message that this is aboriginal land – a daily reminder to all the plebs every time they come and go.
Yep, I’m often over with friends on the Northern Beaches and we’ve noted exactly the same things happening here in the Eastern suburbs (knock down and a grand overbuild next door to us bringing the process close to home), and also quite obvious on the North Shore up the railway line areas (an already big house we used to own in Killara has just been massively extended). There is also some quite intensive building of apartments and townhouses everywhere in the East as well, especially along the Old South Head Road and other more run-down areas towards Bondi.
The face of this city as I remember it is vastly changed from the 50’s and 60’s immigrations, then the 70’s gentrifications of the inner rings, and the 80’s and 90’s move to the suburbs of the middle ring, and beyond those since 2000. The Castle Hill area, with the new expressways, developed a lot in the past 20 years, is totally unrecognisable to me now.
Jesus christ man do you vet any articles you post? You can’t possibly read or watch ev erything you link to.
The Pfizer mRNA vaccine was indeed scandalous along with the constant lying and gaslighting (masks, made-up social distancing, the danger of a new variant of the common cold), but this is just absolute bullshit.
We already had huge rates of diabetes, prediabetes and metabolic syndrome in the west, largely based on diet and lifestyle – too much sugar, insulin resistance and a sedentary lifestyle.
I’d prefer if we just kept the flag as is and renamed ourselves Airstrip Two.
I mean, shoot.
If dulaglutide (Trulicity) and semaglutide (Ozempic) work, then arguably they also cure “mRNA spike protein poisoning”.
Polling Trend Solidifying – Trump Over 60%, DeSantis Dropping Well Behind Ramaswamy
August 16, 2023 – Sundance
This is the fifth in a row of recent polls showing the complete collapse of Ron DeSantis. Fortunately, there may be no further reason to discuss his election viability and it may be well worth just waiting for his campaign withdrawal announcement.
As CTH suspected, DeSantis has followed a similar path as former Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker. Both candidates were driven by the financing of billionaire donors behind them. A campaign created around the shell of a candidate, devoid of personal intent or internal purpose for running; while being driven only by shallow self-interest and attached to the policy of the funding mechanism, is always a structure for failure.
Ha, ha. This now justifies calling girls chicks and birds.
No.
Because usually the blaring headline to hook in gullible numpties is contradicted in the “smoking gun” link to “official Government figures” in the second or third paragraph.
It’s a coffee harvesting scam.
As observed here yesterday, these idiots destroy the efforts of those to run rational arguments against vax downsides.
Just the Australians who fly in their economy class.
CORRUPTION
The Purpose Of The Trump Indictments Is To Demonstrate The Left’s Power
Once again, this isn’t hypocrisy, it’s hierarchy.
And it amounts to a threat:
Imagine what we can do to you.
The latest indictment of former President Donald Trump is even more outlandish than Jack Smith’s blatant attempt to criminalize free speech.
The indictment Monday out of Fulton County, Georgia, criminalizes mundane activities like asking for a phone number, texting, encouraging people to watch a televised hearing, and reserving a room at the Georgia capitol.
These activities, according to Georgia prosecutor Fani Willis, run afoul of the state’s Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) statute.
As far as Willis is concerned, Trump’s legal efforts to challenge the election results in Georgia amounted to a criminal conspiracy, with Trump as the criminal mastermind.
What that means, outlandishly, is that every phone call or tweet related to those legal efforts, every step Trump and his team took to press their legal case, counts as “an overt act in furtherance of the conspiracy.”
This is of course crazy.
As more than a few people have noted since the charges dropped, according to Willis’ standard every major Democrat should be in prison on racketeering charges — including Hillary Clinton but especially Stacey Abrams, who has made a career out of denying that she lost the 2018 Georgia gubernatorial election.
So yes, the hypocrisy is stupendous and blatant.
But let me suggest that decrying the hypocrisy here is a loser’s game. What you see in these anti-Trump indictments is not hypocrisy, it’s hierarchy.
We all became familiar with this concept during the Covid pandemic.
Gathering for church, even outside, was against the law, but mass rioting in the streets was OK — so long as you were rioting for racial justice.
Ordinary people had to let their elderly loved ones die alone and were not even allowed to bury them, yet thousands attended the funeral and memorial services for secular saint George Floyd.
Perhaps nothing better captured the hierarchy-not-hypocrisy concept than a photo of Democrat Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez at the annual Met Gala in September 2021 wearing a white gown with “tax the rich” scrawled on its backside.
Set aside the idiocy of the stunt itself.
In the photo, AOC isn’t wearing a face mask, but the woman helping her with her gown is.
What AOC was displaying for the public was hierarchy.
Russia Hoaxer Hillary Clinton Should Be Indicted For Election ‘Conspiracy,’ Not Invited To Cheer Trump’s Charges On TV
Dehumanising 101:
Next stage, egg collecting.
Not just critics. The Explanatory Notes to the folkloric ‘one pager’ make perfectly clear what the Voice will be interested in pursuing:
Public denial and deflection of this issue is filling in a growing list of liars and dissemblers. Worst amongst which are those who know exactly what the 25 pages mean from a strategic perspective.
It is not, expressly not, what Albanese is pretending.
We are being humbuggered.
“Vaccines are causing most Type I diabetes”
Absolute codswallop. Oh and my sister’s puppy dog has Type 1 diabetes, which requires an insulin shot morning and night. The dog did not get it from a vaccine.
Further to canines, this morning, sitting at the bus stop with no glasses on, a woman approaches with a large and very happy puppy dog, I proceed to give the lovely dog a pat, I then look up and realise the woman is Daisy Turnbull and the dog is hers. I got a terrible fright, not from the dog, but from its owner.
We did? The prevalence of diabetes was just as common before the mass use of vaccines (c1950) was it?
If it’s about Newcastle, surely the rest of NSW would have something to say about that.

Also, three other polls have Trump neck and neck with Biden.
General Election:
Trump vs. Biden Quinnipiac Biden 47, Trump 46 Biden +1
Trump vs. Biden Marist Biden 47, Trump 46 Biden +1
Trump vs. Biden Economist/YouGov Biden 43, Trump 42 Biden +1
Completely unvaccinated dog? Seems unlikely.
Amen to that.
ALAN DERSHOWITZ: Al Gore, his legal team and I tried to find uncounted presidential votes, lobbied officials and fought in the courts in 2000. The only difference now? The candidate’s name is Donald Trump… That’s why this prosecution is an outrage
The fundamental truth of this indictment is that if the evidence of specific crimes were compelling, there would be no need to charge under the onerous ‘intent’ requirements of RICO and conspiracy laws.
The proof is not compelling, because these electoral challenges have precedent.
Once again, as with the preceding three Trump indictments, the law is being stretched to its limits in order to snare a former president.
‘Show me the man, and I’ll show you the crime,’ is the infamous Soviet-era boast attributed to Joseph Stalin’s chief of the secret police.
Is this really what our country has become?
When prosecutions are rooted in the fickle ground of politics and not the solid rock of justice everything will crumble.
“As observed here yesterday, these idiots destroy the efforts of those to run rational arguments against vax downsides.”
Yep.
Trump should be miles in front.
Why isn’t he?
“Figures

The dog did not get it from a vaccine.
Completely unvaccinated dog? Seems unlikely.”
Where did I write that the dog was “unvaccinated”? That’s right, no where. The dog did acquire it’s diabetic condition from a vaccine.
QANTAS really hate Australia don’t they?
As Alf Garnet pronounced it – Quaint Arse.
The latest figure is c. 57%; but native title is not necessarily exclusive; it can co-exist with pastoral leases, for example. Exclusive native title, which is tantamount to ownership, covers c. 26% of the land mass while indigenous freehold title covers another 17%.
Dot, I’m not buying into this argument, but none of those factors have anything to do with Type 1.
India appears to be running a large-scale experiment demonstrating these drivers.
Persactly.
The only reason people paid attention was because they were whipped into a frenzied hope that the Matildas might win the cup.
But when they are not that close, when they are just playing regular games, how many people bother watching female soccer.
It was not the Matildas people were barracking for, but Australia (which the Matildas were, briefly, proxy for).
And, of course, Albo pouring money on the proxy. The rest of Australia, which seems to have very little sympathy with his pet projects and who have long been prey to his agenda and rapacity, can just carry on getting stuffed.
Our diet changed in the 1950s.
Vaccines existed before then and were widespread but not ubiquitous like now.
Claiming vaccines cause diabetes is full-blown retarded, especially when supervised intermittent fasting can improve diabetic and pre-diabetic patients if their pancreas isn’t fried.
We’re listening, Morris.
And what we’re hearing is that these kids are undisciplined little brats who deserve a good thrashing with a rattan cane, and a few to the parents who have refused to carry out the necessary socialisation that is their responsibility when they have children.
And a hearty “get stuffed ” to all the bleeding hearts who want to keep trying with ‘counselling’ which is why we’re at this point.
Despite the nation being assured during Mabo that pastoral leases wiped out native title, and yet the HC did not agree. /sarc
Claiming vaccines cause type 1 diabetes is also retarded though.
Even if someone was right – they’d be guessing. They can’t prove a correlation or causation nor do they know of a mechanism.
Because it would be an admission of weakness and fallibility. Their best outcome is for the lie to continue so it looks like they were right. Going after the people who lied to them would be the right thing to do, but the optics are politically damaging.
“Can improve in type II diabetes in supervised IF regimes…”

OPINION — ELECTION 2024 — LEGAL
Trump Is Not Guilty Of Racketeering; The Deep State Is
Six worrisome things for which the Deep State must be held accountable for.
TIPPINSIGHTS EDITORIAL BOARD
Fani Willis, the district attorney in Fulton County, Ga, charged former President Donald Trump and 18 colleagues with racketeering under Georgia’s RICO law. The charge is that he conspired with them to overturn the 2020 Georgia presidential election results.
The person who didn’t “pull the trigger, set a fire, or commit a burglary” can be charged under RICO laws.
The Left is so desperate to get Trump that Willis outlines a broad 97-page indictment alleging that he corralled his colleagues across state lines in Arizona and Pennsylvania, among others, to plan and execute a sophisticated criminal scheme to overturn the people’s will, all within 56 days. The AP called the election for Biden on November 7. Trump called Georgia’s Secretary of State on January 2, 2021.
We counter that if anyone needs to be charged with criminal racketeering conduct in 2020, it should be the Deep State that should be indicted.
Here are six extraordinary examples of collusion that propelled candidate Biden who had lost the first three primary races to miraculously become the Democratic nominee and then win the general election, though he hardly ever left his Delaware basement.
. Election law changes.
. The failure of the justice system.
. Suppressing Trump’s good news stories.
. Suppressing Biden’s bad news stories.
. Assertions of 50 intelligence officials.

Even if the “moderate” anti-vax position was correct, this statement completely ignores the Overton window – and the evidence right in front of our eyes of leftists continuously pushing things more and more insane and winning as a result.
Of course, the “moderate” anti-vax position is horrifically and obviously wrong. No vaccine in history has ever worked and diseases are not even contagious – if diseases were contagious, visiting (let alone being) a doctor would be instantly fatal. Trying to find a “sensible” position in the middle will only see you tying yourself up in knots.
What’s more, the other side know all this. Pro-vaxers understand the Overton window. They will say things like “there has never been a single death attributable to a vaccine” or “measles has a 100% death rate”. Obviously wrong but it doesn’t hurt their cause. “Moderate” anti-vaxers will just sit there trying to find common ground by saying “well the measles vaccine is super duper effective and measles is super duper scary, but there have been *some* people who survived measles and there have been *some* people injured by the vaccine”.
I wonder why the other side is so much more successful?
You are retarded.
Do people “instantly die” from Ebola, AIDS, golden staph or chicken pox, let alone any infectious disease?
Mouth breathing idiot.
Yes. So did diabetes.
Just like diabetes.
You’re so good on so much Dot. And so incredibly bad at this.
Stop lying Figures and tell us what genes are affected by “vaccines” and how they cause both kinds of diabetes.
Otherwise, you can provide clinical evidence of cell histology or autopsies showing damage to the pancreas that occurs from vaccines pre mRNA vaccines.
GO!!!
Upon matter kipper…
Circular question. I don’t believe there are infectious diseases. That is the point of contention.
And how would anybody know if people “instantly died” or not? Nobody – in all of human history – has witnessed a novel wild virus enter someone’s body and for that person to immediately suffer symptoms.
All I know is that there are lots of sick people in doctor offices – that’s kind of the point. So if being around one sick person is very dangerous (as vaccine proponents claim) then being around lots of sick people must be extremely dangerous. The simultaneous exposure would have to be, as near as makes no difference, instantly fatal.
But it’s not instantly fatal. Or even fatal at all. So, therefore, we must conclude that diseases are not contagious.
You’ve been tricked. Conned. It’s been fed to you every day of your life in a million different ways. That’s why it’s so hard to accept it’s all a lie. It takes an amazing mind to shake it. Even with an absolutely lay down misere argument against it, you’re desperate to maintain your delusion.
Indeed, the very fact that it is a lay down misere argument makes it harder for you. How could you have not seen this? How could anybody else have not seen it? The lay down misere argument has to be wrong doesn’t it? Somebody else must have dealt with it and refuted it at some point right? You don’t know where. You don’t know what it is, but you know they must have. Surely.
I mean, shoot.
If dulaglutide (Trulicity) and semaglutide (Ozempic) work, then arguably they also cure “vaccine damage” in toto.
Because you are an idiot.
Newcastle upon Tyne was the first Newcastle. Do some history or geography or even better, go back to your cave and play with your willy wonka.

Watch Russian Drones Destroy Ukrainian Armored Vehicles, Manpower
The Russian Armed Forces skillfully use unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV), completing assigned tasks without losses in military personnel. High-precision strikes leave Ukrainian troops no chance of continuing their so-called “counteroffensive.” While drone operators are far away, UAVs stream a first-person view (FPV) of the environment.
Russia’s Defense Ministry has published a clip -59 secs – showing two FPV drones wreaking havoc on Ukrainian servicemen and a tank.
Amid the much-touted failing counteroffensive of the Kiev regime, Ukrainian troops are suffering heavy losses and are unable to retake the initiative. NATO-supplied military equipment is of little help to Ukrainian forces, who are struggling to attack and unwilling to sacrifice themselves for the corrupt Kiev regime.
Yes, they only extinguished exclusive native title.
In regard to what Crossie mentioned, I think we will see a push to convert exclusive native title to freehold, including commercial rights over the land and its resources, regardless of whether the Voice gets up or not.
It is like a father ashamed of his son.
We have proven ourselves so unworthy of the leprechaun, who had had such high hopes for us.
I assume you mean “didn’t acquire”.
If the dog was vaccinated, how can you be sure it didn’t get diabetes from one of its vaccines? It might not have. I certainly don’t know if it did. But how could you?
No one else ever contended infectious diseases kill you instantly, they wouldn’t be able to infect anyone else like that insufferable moron. You start with bullshit and it only gets worse.
Let me guess: you think the development of biological weapons as WMDs is merely a confidence trick some scientists play on the military high command?
Have you ever seen an autopsy report of someone who died of a confirmed infectious disease?
You’re delusional.
You are either retarded (no, I mean your IQ is below 80 and it should be checked) or you are evil.
You shouldn’t be allowed to vote, drive a car or manage your own finances.

Newcastle upon Tyne was the first Newcastle
You left Gateshead out, I’m from the original one but your forgiven .. LOL!
Because, dickhead, it is a known genetic disease and there is no evidence the vaccines alter the dog’s genes, gene expression or RNA nor can anyone posit a mechanism for how that would possibly happen.
Thing is that we use the words mother and father, and male and female with every other species. When entering hard sciences the ridiculous mind games must be sloughed off.
Wasn’t there something the other day about re-naming milk some bizarre thing or other, but again we use milk to describe the same thing in every other species.
The only one of us whose behaviour flatly contradicts our stated beliefs is you.
I avoid doctors as much as possible because they are typically clueless. But visiting a hospital doesn’t scare me. Neither does being around sick people at work, church or anywhere else. My behaviour matches my stated beliefs.
You OTOH claim to be terrified of other sick people. And yet you still visit doctors.
If you believed diseases were contagious then there would be *nothing* that would convince you to go and see a doctor. You could be hemorrhaging from a gunshot through an artery and you would still take your chances on spontaneous healing.
Now you’re not Robinson Crusoe. Practically everybody on the planet is the same. 99.9% of the world’s population. But it’s still wrong. The sky is not green. Men cannot have babies. And if you’re scared of contagious diseases you would *never ever ever ever ever ever ever” visit a hospital.
Sounds like they’re getting flak from the Russian blogosphere after this story.
Panicked Russian forces slaughtered by Ukrainian cluster bombs as they fled key village (15 Aug)

All this over one village. The propaganda one-upmanship is standard modus operandii. About the only notable thing is the second story quotes Col. Girkin, who still seems to be able to access his Telegram account despite being arrested a few weeks ago. I don’t know what’s going on with that.
They are likely oversampling D voters, but you need to answer why DeSantis is down by 5 in the same poll conducted by Fox where Trump is only down by 1. At least Trump is within their sampling error so he has a decent chance of being ahead in these same polls whereas DeSantis is outside of their sampling error.

By the way, if it’s genetic, does that mean that 100% of type I diabetes sufferers have insulin dependency from birth?

They spelled “aristocracy” incorrectly. Moat western nations have now implemented a system of self-replicating aristocracy. It’s an exclusive club, and if you are not a leftard, you will never be allowed to join it.

And for all those kipper ‘luvvers’ on this Blog – LOL
Kippers (fish) in custard
“I recently picked up a pack of kippers going cheap in the supermarket and decided to revive an old favourite of mine – kippers in (savoury) custard. For those who don’t know, a kipper is a whole herring, a small, oily fish, that has been split in butterfly fashion from tail to head along the dorsal ridge, gutted, salted or pickled, and cold-smoked over smouldering woodchips (typically oak). They’re cheap*, and quite nutritious, and I think they’re delicious. Do beware of small bones though.
If you don’t like potatoes you might try this dish with rice. I hope someone tries making this! It’s seriously good.
*Those kippers cost me £0.62, that’s less than $1 in USD! And I will get two meals out of the pack. 🙂
Edit: sorry, I forgot to give any indication of quantities. I used 100g (~4oz.) fish and the two largest eggs in the pack, which made a single fair-sized portion. You might use three eggs per person, if they are small.”
https://www.reddit.com/r/Cooking/comments/45sy6x/kippers_fish_in_custard/
Maybe, maybe not. There are not many in the latter group who are getting any msm air time to show what has happened and is still happening. Maybe there’s a reason for that…
How could taking your child to a doctor where you know they *will* be surrounded by lots of sick people (many who are very sick) in order to receive a vaccine that *might* be effective against a disease that they *might* encounter one day in the future be an “acceptable level of risk”?
If your baby can survive the hundreds of different “pathogens” in a doctor office (one of which might be measles) then clearly coming across one solitary child with measles at some point in the future poses zero risk.
And yet, the vast majority of people ignore this obvious contradiction.
Because they’re insane.
You’re insane.
Yes, EVERYONE is insane but you.
You didn’t answer the question.
I don’t care about the opinions of people who have such a horrific track record (health “experts). I want to know if 100% of people with type I diabetes are insulin dependent from birth – which they presumably must be if it’s “all in the genes”.
And if you’re scared of contagious diseases you would *never ever ever ever ever ever ever” visit a hospital.
Or, get out of bed in the morning. Way, way too risky.
I stood against 95% of the population and said “you’re all insane to support lockdowns”.
So did you I believe.
That goes to my point. You’re strong. You’re just not *that* strong.
From article quoted in the other thread. “who wants to hang around someone whose only interest is the end of the world? Such people are not only depressed but depressing.”
Said it better than me. Take note all you climate change numpties. You need to get a life.
The fact that type 1 diabetes insulin dependence onset occurs at certain ages (4 – 7) and around 15 is a characteristic of genetics largely driving an autoimmune disease.
The idea that newborn babies ALWAYS being insulin dependent would be a valid argument if people were born as adult humans with no genes needed to be switched in or off during their lifetime.

‘I say, Ponsonby-Carruthers, do you ever wonder why the Empire disappeared in ten years after existing for a thousand?’
How can you even think these matters are analogous at all?
There is a huge difference between not being forced to take an experimental vaccine that was waved through without passing safety requirements compared to “prudently” NEVER visiting a doctor’s office or expecting to die of Ebola INSTANTLY when you walk through the door.
The expanding life expectancy in the West since the Industrial Revolution and Enlightenment speaks to the general success of modern medicine, despite its many faults (and the contribution of more food, better plumbing and cheaper energy).

FMD. Why did you write this drivel? If it was a genetic disease then Occam’s razor says it would be present at birth. If it isn’t, then Occam’s razor says you’re wrong. You might not be. Maybe there is a really good explanation otherwise. But your random speculation about genes playing funny buggers whenever it’s convenient to your narrative isn’t one of them.
