Remember he was “educated” that this was truthy history by some people we are supposed to believe want ” reconciliation”

Yesterday I thought the Kamahl’s comments were sarcasm.

Now I’m not so sure. No one can be that dumb, surely? He must know about the King’s orders. He must be aware of the alternatives for Australia.

Hit the Civic last night to catch up with some much loved erstwhile female colleagues, Cats.

They’re all in fine form. The other patrons included many scantily clad womanages who five years ago were 22, in Brandos and Levi’s in July.

A very enjoyable night. It’s always life affirming to encounter friends in person. Especially when they’re aesthetically pleasing. 🙂

If you’re trying to use a washed up entertainer to change people’s minds, the YES vote is donesky.

Let’s not create a conspiracy theory out of nothing.

The idiot likely felt NO was the way to vote then received a lot of criticism and consequently he back-peddled as fast as he could. WTF would you use a washed up doofus that no one below the age of 60 would know to carry out a conspiracy?

Next up, I wonder what the Rothschilds are doing to swing the vote to YES.

The Brits were so bad, so terrible that their most populace colony India has taken English as a national language to build their country around- the only other being Hindi.

I have friends in Ghana and Kenya where English is still the national language. So bad was the British dominion there.

If the Brits are so hated, so detested why then have ex-colonies not torn down those evil vestiges of the horrible white rulers; railways, bridges, roads, postal systems , banking and financial systems, health and sanitation , telephone and telegraph, dams and water reticulation systems etc. Surely a return to the bliss of pre-colonial life is a far better existence than the horrors of British rule.

I had this conversation years ago in Indonesia with a young Brit IT expert around Y2K time. He thought colonialism was a universally bad thing, but I was trying to differentiate from the Dutch experience. Which wasn’t so great.

Further to the progressive and MSM smear factories, and how they constantly, incessantly and perpetually smear those of us on the right with the spooky “far-right” or “alt-right”, watch the MSM go to town on those Australians who attended NO rallies today, and watch them smear ordinary Australian men and women by associating them with any fringe types that turn up, such as Aussie Cossack (who’s basically harmless), never mind the fact that the CPA flag was seen at a YES rally last Sunday, never mind the fact that the Palestinian flag is now invariably seen at “Indigenous Invasion Day protests”, never mind that at numerous leftist protests over the last decade, attended by Green and Labor politicians, you will see the posters with the Star of David superimposed on the Swastikas, a sickening and utterly offensive combination….ahhh……but the left always get a free pass for their Jew hatred, for their racism and for their hypocrisy.

I’ve been thinking about the smear factory that is the MSM a lot over the last few days. Last Wednesday night I spent over two hours at the hairdresser. Women here will understand this, going to the hairdresser is time consuming for us sheilas. Anyway, to bide my time I take a tablet, a book and/or the Speccie or Quadrant, but I also read the trashy magazines my uber trendy Paddington hair salon stocks. It doesn’t take long to flick through these trashy mags, such as Vogue, Marie Claire, Hello, and others. These mags only take a few minutes to flick through, all of them are so utterly vacuous and so incredibly shallow but look, I do confess to like reading about some fashion and make up (I’m a girl, a real girl). However, I’ve noticed over the last, say five or six years, how these vacuous mags now preach social justice and almost every other uber progressive cause, and the latest issues are ALL preaching……………da VOICE. Some are also now showcasing cocks in frocks, seriously, the shit is unbelievable. But one of the worst, perhaps the worst, is a mag called “Marie Claire”, once edited by the late Melbourne socialite Lillian Franks’ daughter. Marie Claire is a virtue signalling, abysmally shallow magazine full of vomitous shit. I remember having my hair done at the end of 2021, and picking up the magazine and being completely shocked to the point where I nearly fell down from my chair, because on the cover of Marie Claire was a photoshopped picture of Da Knickerless and the little Tasmanian vamp, Grace Tame. I skimmed through the fawning piece, it was so utterly devoid of any journalistic merit that I swooned with horror, fortunately the chemicals plastered in my hair prevented me from fainting!

Anyway, sitting in the hair salon the other day, I skimmed through the August issue of Marie Claire, and I came across a piece called “The Terrifying Rise Of Alt-Right Female Influencers“………….quelle horreur, spooky wooky. Anyway, the smear job began as follows…

“Toxic femininity is real!” says a steely-eyed woman dressed in a black lace top and bright red lipstick with a red rose tucked behind her ear, the artificial background in her video strewn with flowers and frilly lampshades. The woman is Daisy Cousens and she’s one of the leading lights in the female alt-right influencer movement in Australia. She has more than 200,000 subscribers on YouTube, posting regular videos with names like “Why pretty women should NEVER be feminists” and “Leftism makes young women MISERABLE!”

Cousens, who occasionally works as a mainstream journalist and holds views that are very conservative but not extreme, is one of a growing number of female influencers who have recently become players in various conservative – or at the end of the spectrum, far-right extremist – movements around the world, a sphere traditionally dominated by men.

These women come in various guises. Some, like Cousens, could just be called deeply conservative rather than extremist. But others, such as Americans Lana Lokteff and Hannah Pearl Davis, front media channels that attack

Notice the hatchet smear job on Cousens? Daisy Cousens…..far/alt-right? Pull the other one. Daisy Cousens…..’deeply conservative’….I phucking wish, this is a “deeply conservative” woman who spruiked SSM back in 2017 (don’t get me wrong, I’ve met Daisy and I like Daisy). But notice the hatchet job on Cousens, notice the smear job on Cousens?

The piece then went on to discuss real alt/far-right figures in the USA but the smear job is done, the trashy magazine has done its job in paining Cousens as “dubious”, the trashy magazine has done its job that if you’re conservative, or if you align with conservatism, then you’re not too far short of being alt/far-right.

I guess this is why I now so utterly and totally despite almost all of the MSM, with one or two exceptions.

I never read the book Starship Troopers (although I liked the song by Yes).

But the movie contained something probably meant to show what a horrible society theirs was which I suspect came from the book but which the film makers thought was emblematic of its fascism: you have to serve to earn citizenship. Not necessarily military although in the circumstances covered by the movie that is heavily implied as the only one.

There is the scene with Michael Ironside teaching a high school class and the idea that just handing out the right to vote is sub-optimal: Something (just) given has not value. And we live in a society where the feckless, lazy, and indolent just sit around waiting to sell their vote to whoever will bribe them with most

We don’t need to go down the path of Starship Troopers, but the idea of raising people to see citizenship as a responsibility to others is very appealing.

Insert narrative side: Hundreds of thousands turn out.

Insert non narrative side: Only a few hundred turn out.

What happens to the elites of this country that they are so concerned with what the world might think of us?

Maybe an exit ramp should be provided for them to move to the UK or country of choice in Europe or such, for these poor dissappointed people.

I have a lot of overseas friends and the only time they ever mention our country is if we are having fires or floods or some sporting event. They don’t care what our politics are, no one does.

Are folks like Chris Kenny, Julie Bishop et al so sensitive that the mere thought of dissapproval from off our shores turns them into scolds?

Perhaps they don’t realise that most of us, do not care what anyone overseas thinks, and to be honest, even in the next suburb or city or state in Australia.

We’re just not that shallow.

I’m intending to eat roast pork, for dinner this evening, with roast spuds, mushrooms, runner beans, broccoli, sprouts, carrots and asparagus. Also sausages, apple sauce and gravy. With a french claret.

I was planning it for Sunday, but it’s been a miserable day, so I’m going early. There’ll be enough to last me tomorrow as well, so I’m alright even unto the king’s birthday on Monday. Which I’m going to celebrate with roast pork sarnies; more than he deserves.

In any conversation about the French, the following apply:

“Everybody despises the French. Even the French.”*

“How many Frenchmen does it take to defend Paris? Nobody knows. They’ve never tried.”

“Why do the French plant trees down both sides of every road? To provide shade for the German army.”

And I say this as someone who has put money on the French to win the Rugby World Cup 2023.

* This one is of my own invention. And before anyone decries my racism, I have a French Huguenot ancestor named Jean Montagne who crossed the Channel and promptly changed his name to John Hill. His descendants (and my forebears) are named on the plaques situated in Cathedral Square in Christchurch as having arrived on the first four ships. On board the Sir George Seymour, I think.

I learnt that the British wanted to wipe out the black race as though they were vermin.

The ABC rushed to fact-check Jacinta, let me guess they won’t be around to fact-check this.

In South Australia, before the colonists had even left London a Protector of Aborigines had been appointed and they worked hard providing rations and supplies to Aborigines in need, even to remote and difficult to reach locations. Strange way to try and exterminate people.

The Frogs, it has to be said, are playing rather lovely rugby in line with the (everchanging) rules. I wasn’t surprised to see them beat the ABs first up.

However, everything hinges on the upcoming game between Ireland and Seth Efrica. (My beloved future brother-in-law is a Boer so I say that only in jest.) I am hoping SA emerge victorious as I have a gut feeling that France will more easily conquer Ireland than the Boks.

Australia’s best business newsletter. Get the edge with AM and PM briefings, plus breaking news alerts in your inbox.

It was once proclaimed that the Australian economy rode on the sheep’s back – the famed merino sheep to be precise – and now the cradle of that sturdy sheep is up for sale along with 220,000ha of prime and valuable farmland.

Australian Food and Agriculture Company (AFA) has placed its entire landholdings up for sale following the death last year of its founder, stockbroker Colin Bell.

The holdings cover a diversified patchwork of land spread across the Deniliquin, Hay and Coonamble districts of New South Wales.

Within the land portfolio are a range of businesses, from crops and sheep studs to feedlots and more than 54,000 megalitres of water entitlements. But the historical significance of some of the farms is priceless and stretches back hundreds of years to the foundation of Australia.

$3200 hectare sounds pricey.

The size is around 2200k or 47 k a side

——————————————-

How do you feel about it now when even a gram add or correction attracts a downtick? Find it useful?

Yes I do, Why post an “I agree” When a simple tick conveys the same message?
Same goes for the opposite.

Problem is that any system can be abused, if the tax system can be breached how much easier it is to break a simple blog.

As far as I see there are just a few people here who attract an inordinate and undeserved amount of downticks, yourself and Zulu being amongst those and a couple of others.
Why? Beats me. (may I say it here? did you kill a Chinaman?)

But the system still works fine, provided you overlook those anomalies.

Foxbody’s on the money. I couldn’t believe the raw cynicism involved in the about-face at first. I thought he was kidding.

Also, don’t fear stating the bleedin’ obvious. Sometimes the obvious needs an airing, once all the gaslighting and bullsh*t is discussed, dismembered and reassembled.

The truth doesn’t enjoy hiding.

I wonder if Gina or Twiggy takes a shot

700m rural empire up for sale in one of the biggest land deals of the year

I hope Gina does.
There would be less chance of the whole lot being turned into some carbon capture, subsidy mining venture by a crony capitalist multi national.

Here’s how it will go:
Some superannuation fund will buy the lot.
The 54,000 megs of water will be held, only till the next round of government water buybacks (already in the pipeline) then “sold” for at least twice what they paid.
The properties will be de-stocked and returned to “the natural state” in order to mine carbon credits.
Along with de-stocking will come the solar “farms” and transmission lines with all the associated mining of taxpayer funds.
The only thing to be done will be the maintenance of some historical/heritage buildings here and there in order to present a veneer of respectability to the endeavour.

I still don’t trust polls but this is comforting….

RedBridge poll finds voters don’t think Voice to Parliament is a top-5 priority

An exclusive new poll has found that few Australians rank the Voice as one of the top five priorities for the federal government, nominating cost of living and housing affordability as top issues.

Hardly any Australians rank the Voice as the top priority issue for the federal government, according to a new poll that has also found support for the referendum has fallen to 38 per cent.

The latest RedBridge poll, taken last week, found that despite Yes23 and the Uluru Dialogue stepping up their advertising spend, support for the Voice is still falling.

The poll found that nationally the percentage of people planning to vote for the Voice has dropped by another percentage point since the start of the month.

The last RedBridge poll, taken at the start of September, found support had fallen 5 per cent to 39 per cent in the month since its previous survey.

The only state to buck the trend in the latest poll was NSW, where support for the Voice has increased from 39 per cent to 42 per cent.

But this was offset by a decline in support for the Voice in Victoria, where it dropped from 45 per cent to 41 per cent, and in Queensland, where it dropped three points to 32 per cent.

The Voice has been behind in every state and territory, as well as nationally, in RedBridge’s past two polls.

The latest RedBridge research also tested how importantly voters rate the Voice as an issue for the Albanese government.

On that metric it is performing abysmally, a distant last in the issues voters were asked to rank as priorities.

According to RedBridge only 2 per cent of voters rate the Voice as their top or second or third priorities for government (6 per cent in total), while 4 per cent put it down as their fourth and another 4 per cent as their fifth most important issue.

Cost-of-living was easily the most important issue for voters, with 92 per cent of them ranking it in the top five.

This was followed by housing affordability, which was ranked by 73 per cent of people as a priority for government, and the economy and jobs, which was rated by 69 per cent.

The next most important issues for voters were health funding, wages, climate change, the economy transitioning to renewable and national security.

The Operation Mockingbird compromised, CIA infested Washington Post tries to “Russell Brand” Dave Portnoy.

Portnoy recorded a conversation with an activist journalist (they’re not reporting on facts anymore, they make up stories) and caught them out.

The establishment media is just pathetic.
