Hello…
Marxist academics at RMIT propose nationalising vacant houses.
It is ridiculous to use the words ‘society’ and ‘civilisation’ interchangeably.
But I am left wondering if the increasingly embarrassed fart-under-a-towel Albanese does not see developments like boiled water as indicating a severing from an older culture.
By this reckoning most primitive equals oldest.
He is, after all, that most wretched and despicable sort of human: Properly politics should be a ‘means’, not an ‘end’. It is about getting things done.
But he has attached himself leech-like to the long built-up accretion of a static political state where ‘ends’ are a much lower priority.
Prick has no idea of history. No idea of what a living society treasures or aspires to become. He is calling out directions from his map that he demands be followed on ours.
He should be exposed in public, stripped of his PR apparatus, and forced to explain himself.
And when he inevitably is revealed as a snivelling, self-obsessed little runt, Australians should be able to make a vote via website which adds a volt to electrodes attached to his nads.
Watching the rat-like creature talking about renewable energy with the mains cut off, and the importance of keeping QANTAS airfares high, would be worth watching the dick trying to look in control while his testicles explode.

Flyingduk, my tangles with Soviet bloc equipment were strictly Mi 8’s and a tad more professional. My mate were both Mi 8 & Mi 26’s with apparently Ukrainian crews on UN charter and as you describe.
As much as we slag our own airlines they are very safe compared to some aircraft I have been on overseas. A twin otter I was on out of Honiara once was leaking rainwater into the cabin as we were climbing out of Henderson to cruise altitude. China Airways 747 out of Taipei was a flying death trap that I was thankfully half drunk when boarding once. That’s the ones I can remember off the top of my head.
The world is certainly an interesting place and it’s aviation very robust.

Taxation is theft
Silver and Burgundy 🙂
No it’s not. It’s extortion. Theft is when someone unknown removes some of your wealth when you aren’t watching over it. Extortion is when someone you know threatens you with force if you don’t cough up.
Taxation is when the government demands a share of your wealth under threat of imprisonment if you don’t cough up. Clearly extortion.

I suspect my granddad met Oppenheimer. I know he flew with Oliphant from the UK to the US, via Iceland, and visited there in the first tech transfer from the UK Tube Alloys project, which was their equivalent to the Manhattan Project. My granddad’s field was in the extraction and purification of plutonium. Interestingly I ended up in a similar field, extraction and purification of uranium. Genetics are curious. I haven’t seen the movie yet.

Fun conversation today with my younger brother who is in the US doing lithium battery recycling development. He said they have thousands of pallets of old Li batteries. They’re spread out on a paddock. Every now and then a pallet of batteries randomly catches fire…
I mentioned the article I linked this morning of the Teslas which caught fire after the Florida hurricane.
Anyway then I said with the batteries it would probably be the best to put the things through a kiln to oxidise all the firely bits, then grind them up in a ball mill, float off the plastic and then dissolve the metals, Haha, he said, you just described our flowsheet!
He’s getting a staggering salary. Apparently they have a lot of Aussie expats working for them, which figures since the US metallurgy industry is nearly non-existent.

Indolent’s link backthread on his concept of De-civilisation was well worth a watch, for the visuals as much as for the sadly dispassionate voice saying why these things were happening. The downward spiral is, he thinks, unrecoverable, because people were simply picking up sticks and moving elsewhere from those disastrous blue cities, which will end up like Detroit, rotting away.
I’m a little more hopeful that a change to Trumpian policies, under Trump if possible, will quickly pull back on some of the worst of it, and that cities like San Fran will survive; because I was in New York in the 80’s and then again in 2002, and it had pulled out of the morass. Now of course with the influx of ‘migrants’ (border crossers) NY is heading downwards again, and this time maybe a few fixed broken windows (the metaphor for the improvement) won’t be enough any more for NY or San Fran.
Such is ‘The Life and Death of Great American Cities’, Jane Jacobs book from a previous time. She’d have her work cut out for her with today’s problems.

Hmm, and the question is, how much dosh is he being paid for this?
Never liked the song, never much cared for Farnham’s voice.

Duk – have you listened to the latest release by Dr. Peter McCullough? I think I posted it yesterday, but (with the indulgence of Covid weary Cats) I will post it again later today. I have labelled it as “This is it!” because it sums & explains up the tragedy of the last 3 years. It traces the virus research conducted by agents like EcoAlliance & the very early papers of Ralph Baric & then the catastrophic virus “escape” as early as 2019. He also talks about vax batch variability & why some vaccines seem to have been unaffected. He then summarises the global significance of the political response. Great stuff. BTW it is on Dr. Phillip Altman’s Substack as well.
Today also marks the anniversary of the start of WW2 in Europe on the 3rd of September, 1939.”
No, the war started on 1 September 1939, when Germany invaded Poland. 3 September was when first Britain declared war on Germany, and later that same day France also declared war on Germany.

The Paywallian is giving the Farnham story the splash treatment as the lead story on its website.
The paper notes Farnham until now he has steered away from politics. So what changed?
Simple. He needed some PR for his re-emergence as a recording artist after successful cancer treatment and this is ideal: it’s pure virtue-signalling and he doesn’t have to actually do anything – and that will re-energise sales for a song that’s decades old.
The only problem, Johnny, is, like Alan Joyce, you’re betting the blackfella voice is popular when the polls suggest it is going to be thrashed when it is voted on next month – alienating a majority of your fans/customers.

US Real Estate Market
QUESTION: Mr. Armstrong, You were the only one who forecasted that real estate would continue to rise in conjunction with the rate increases by the Fed. I have been following you only since 2020 and COVID-19. I am impressed with your computer and your analysis, which does not change with every passing headline. Can you elaborate on the real estate market a bit?
Thank you very much for the education.
FH
ANSWER: The traditional forecast on real estate is always one-dimensional. Homeownership has historically been in the top 5 of surveys about what Americans most want in life. Property values have been rising despite rising high prices combined with higher mortgage rates. There is little sign on the horizon before the ECM peaks in May 2024. Analysts have been confused and caught up in this economic conundrum of the continued economic growth that has defied all their recession predictions.
Normally, housing has been one of the sectors that has been the most sensitive to interest rates. Over the past two years, mortgage rates have risen from less than 3% to more than 7%. That means that the median family today faces mortgage payments that have doubled from roughly 14% of monthly household income in 2020 to nearly 29% by mid-2023. This is the strongest rise since the economic turm on our ECM when it bottomed in 1985.65.
Nevertheless, the conundrum that has baffled traditional analysts has not led to a decline in house prices as they expected. They paused during the COVID-19 lockdowns and fell in the Blue States, which had the most draconian COVID-19 measures. Currently, housing prices during the second quarter of this year rose at an annualized pace of 15% according to the S&P Case-Shiller index.
There is a tight supply in the South, where much of the migration has taken place. I get, on average three calls a week asking if I want to sell my house here in Florida. The annual sales of property nationally have been around $2 trillion. Smart institutional investors have been shifting from public unsecured debt to private mortgages. The average person does not look at CPI numbers or GDP numbers. They look at the cost of this rising, and the confidence in the Biden Administration has been collapsing. When people no longer trust the government, they shift to the private sector. So add to that the great migration from Democratic states to the southern red states, and you will see collapsing real estate values in places like San Francisco and Chicago in comparison to even Wall Street, have been quietly moving to the Miami region. There are still buyers in the market and a shortage of supply in the Red States like Florida. Thus, sales have declined, but this appears to be more the result of the decline in supply.
Additionally, the rising inflation in materials means that the replacement cost of homes is often higher than the prices being paid, not to mention the waiting time for construction. The sheer replacement costs of housing have skyrocketed. Even paint was in short supply thanks to the COVID-19 lockdowns. This has impacted the market, and traditional analysis simply never considered that the replacement costs on preexisting houses, in many cases, are 40% to 100% higher. Add to that the shortage in labor. It was very hard to find a contractor in Florida who even was available. Most contractors I talked to were booked beyond 2024.
Newly built homes account for about one-third of active listings in 2023. This was up from an average of 13% over the two decades before pre-COVID-19. Add to all of this is the influx of foreign money looking at US property as a hedge against future wars and destabilization of the monetary system. Then we have had funds like Blackrock buying property and renting them out.”

Farnham.
Formulaic, faux-anthemic pap from a bloke who Stock, Aiken and Watermaned before it became a thing.
Over-marketed shit, and always has been.
Still got a way to go. I think 3 referendums on daylight saving in WA and it still hasn’t got up.
Regarding the incidence of former Rugby league players suffering dementia.
It is interesting that this issue has raised its head now. Rugby league las been played for over a hundred years. There would have been lots of players being affected not just those over the last 20-30 years.
I was advised just yesterday by a close friend that 3 of his acquaintances had come down with dementia within a short space of time. One died in a matter of weeks.
It’s not just retired football players. The common denominator with all three was that they. Had all been fully vaccinated and recently boostered.
My wife is a GP and she is seriously concerned with the incidence of myocarditis in vaccinated young males. She is also very disappointed in the fact that those presenting with Covid have almost invariably been fully vaccinated. The vaccines have been a demonstrable failure despite the assurances that taking the vaccine would prevent the contraction and spread of the virus.
The ongoing ramifications of this are going to be immense, I fear.
It’s only fair since these dweebs are most in favour of galloping immigration. Let them suffer the consequences.
The songwriters will; Farnham will get considerably less.
“We have the chance to turn the pages over
We can write what we want to write
We gotta make ends meet, before we get much older

I did the same and will share with family and friends.
Just when he looked like he was getting the hang of it, an Abbottonian error. FMD.
Looks like comments at the Australian and Courier Mail are massively against Farnham decision. Ruined the song for many.
However I doubt he has accepted money for it.
Personally I am waiting for the PM to roll out Leo DiCaprio. That would be a game changer ! Could fly in on a private jet and could lecture us on climate change at the same time. After the Voice plug he could go into a press conference with Chris Bowen and talk about renewables.
Why do I suffer the belief that any form of Constitutional recognition will just kick off the demands for a treaty and reparations?
He gets a royalty cheque regardless due to the song being played on radio and TV.

Farnham will regret this IMO. It is already becoming heated and if yes carries it won’t be by much and there will be a lot of bad blood on both sides that won’t be resolved in a hurry, even if ever.
I also agree with yesterdays posts on being wary of a no win. Normal people don’t delve into politics until they have to and $100mil of flashy ads and soft censorship of the no campaign by media/big tech/passive aggressive peers may just swing the vote.
IMO it will be either a close yes or resounding no. I’ll be in Sydney for a week towards the end of September so it will be interesting to see the vibe. I will be in both the north shore & western Sydney areas in that time.
Zulu @ 0950h, that’s exactly endstate. Certain the HC will carry out somersaults to justify that outcome.
A one way ticket to Angola and a prepaid cell phone to call Dad back would iron out and trans fads or obsession with Communism.
“Where are the drag shows, comrade?”
Dig the effin’ ditch for the table drain! The CCP wants this road finished in three weeks!
So why did he send the kid there in the first place?
The school journal is called Kollektiv, for heaven’s sake.
As a parent, you can’t dodge responsibility for such decisions.
I’m certain I wrote an almost identical line several times across 2020 and 2022 in this August blog of record. And I was not just referring to shit medical outcomes.
I’m still grazing on Keith Windschuttle’s ‘The Break-up of Australia.’ I cannot recommend it highly enough. The breadth of research is impressive.
I suspected sarcasm.
Cate is ensconsed in her northern summer residence in Cornwall, where she’s doing what she does best: annoying the hell out of the locals.
Typical SFL (Dutton = exhibit # 1).
Get to 98m in the 100m race. Then stop, and wave everyone else past.
If I am going to have to vote in another referendum, I might as well vote yes in the first one, and get it over with. Otherwise it’s just referenda till the cows come home or the abos get 100% land + reparations + free shlt forever. Whichever comes first.
“Just when he looked like he was getting the hang of it, an Abbottonian error. FMD.”
That’s it. It’s over. “Yes” will prevail. Nobody wants a second referendum. Nobody.
You can always be assured that the Liberal Party of Australia will f*ck things up.
For my money, Keith Windschuttle and Geoffrey Blainey are two of the greatest historians this country has produced.
Haha Roger. I liked this from a local:
I’ll never forget the newsagent’s Herald Sun poster in the runup to the 1990 AFL grand final (won by Collingwood) about Pies superstar Peter Daicos: DAICOS KNEE LATEST!
This morning, Daicos’s son, Nick, who’s favourite to win this year’s Brownlow medal, is training with the Pies as he tries to overcome a knee injury.
History repeats as the Pies remain $3.30 favourites to win this year’s flag. Daicos knee latest indeed!
Daily mail article on Farnham has 7 comments up. All against and most over 1000 upticks compared to around 30 downticks.
For someone who has generally stayed out of politics but has a number of comeback tours when one can only surmise the bank balance was getting low, wonder how much he was offered?
“Don’t you know who I am? I played Queen Elizabeth”
Can someone tell me a reason to vote Liberal?
Can someone tell me a reason to vote Liberal?
How long have you got Cassie? Even the collective mind of the Cat might struggle to find a reason by sundown.

I’ve had my order in for a month. Still not arrived. But I have received “Australia Breaks Apart” by journo Stapleton. The latter is about Australia’s response to Covid and the vaccines.
beacause at least, they’ll let you choose your own firing squad
The only reason I can think of for Dutton to have pulled this idiotic idea out of his butt is because he got some insane idea that he can attract votes by offering something less radical than the Voice for people who still crave to do ‘something’ for Aborigines.
He must have believed that there really is one third of people who were undecided.
The constitution is the instruction manual for how the nation is to work. It is not for ‘recognising’ people’s, or recording who daddy loves best. Dutton is an ex-policeman. How many laws is he aware of that ‘acknowledge’ people in the preamble.
Besides, they are already acknowledged every time they receive preferment or payment only given to official Aborigines.
Any other common denominators?
Like age, maybe?
Dutton promises he will let them just put the tip and nothing more….
That approach has never failed before.
You can always trust a Liberal politician to sell out on a matter of principle for the sake of some imagined political advantage that subsequently rebounds on them.
Thanks for the WIP, Tom.
Every few weeks, I print one out and put it in a frame in the dining room area. Trying to get visitors to think a little more deeply while also having a laugh.
Every little bit helps.
I acknowledge the repetition, but … Wow. Windschuttle’s book is impressive.
It is a great shame (and cause of much social & economic damage) that this type of information has not been able to match the emotion-based polemic of our opponents.
I think most of them genuinely have NFI. Someone else must write those London speeches. Had to see what possible upside Spud saw in this one.
Today’s milk for the granola is from Camelia Flower IV.
Tastes a bit different.
I asked about the oats.
Steel cut with a 13th century Samurai sword.
A reason to vote Lieboral?
Nostalgia.
A love of zombie sub-culture/ the undead.
An addiction to psychological self-harming.
Political O.C.D.
Maybe Victorianis are right?
Dutton is not an idiot. Therefore, stupidity can be ruled out.
I think this is Dutton’s and the LNP’s contribution to ensure all attention remains firmly focused on the Voice issue and NOT on the obscenity last week of the poliscum’s huge pay rise. And the longer he can remain party leader the more he benefits from that increment and the pension to follow. So why not appease the pinko/wets in his party with this brainfart?
My easy2C Calendar on Sunday September 3 shows:
Father’s Day
Australian National Flag Day
It was a Liberal state govt that allowed the Aboriginal flag to fly on our Sydney Harbour Bridge.
Me, Keith Windschuttle’s ‘The Persecution of George Pell’. Only a few pages in but such powerful writing. One for those who don’t believe in conspiracies.
A reason to vote Lieboral?
Only if you’re into BDSM.
Will “HELL NO” be acceptable in the 2nd referendum if written in the box?
Galatians 3:28
I think I will stick to God’s Constitution rather than one written by wet Liberals.
Regarding Cassie’s question, I wonder if something might be gleaned from reflecting on the expression: Never ascribe to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity.
Or in Australian political terms:
Never ascribe to Labor that which can be adequately explained as by Liberals.
Pell showed just how far Victoriastan had fallen.
I feel like it’s got an extra word there, knock the lieboral off the end would be closer to the truth.
Nice doggie. Go for the throat, next time.
When door knocking in Mosman Park ask which end of Wellington St you’ve got before saying yes.
For those playing at home, Mosman Park golf course isn’t particularly good, Saunders St probably is.
Man, is she in for an education if it gets up.
Then again, as a 72 y. o. self-confessed sjw, she might be unteachable.
Exactly, I feel like a second class citizen every time I tick No box for “Are you Aboriginal Torres Strats Islander” on government forms.

Reason only works with reasonable, intelligent people.
Fear works with all, mostly all anyway.
I hope the dog’s ok.
Give the title to Man City now. Erling Haaland picking up where he left off. He is, and indeed Manchester City are phenomenal and it will take a huge effort from Liverpool to catch them.
No, they are saying I want to be able to order you to take my advice. Nothing is stopping them now giving any advice.
I find it quite ironical, and surely a touch of cultural appropriation re Johnny Farnum’s You’re The Voice to be used as the anthem for The Voice.
Absolutely no self-awareness.
Artillery boys & their 155mm guns must be bombing the crap out of High Range Training Area today.
All I am hearing is the low boom boom booms in quick succession of fire missions.
Another beautiful spring day though. Mackay & the Whitsunday coast had their first storms cloud build ups for the year.
I managed to bounce a full 7 iron through the Mosman Park Golf Club without hitting a single car. This is no as serious as it sounds as you would only hit an A4 Audi or C series Merc because they could not get into Cottesloe Or Karrinyup.
