Mark – I have a lot of SciAms, but I had to drop my subscription in the late nineties. It was getting unreadable. Then the same with New Scientist in the 2000’s, then finally The Economist. All were taken over by the Lysenkoist types, and were producing stuff which the real world data does not support.

These days I hold my nose and read Phys.org each day. Lots of rubbish, but a few interesting nuggets. Astronomy is a hold out. I’m sad about what has been happening to science, since I always wanted to be one. And by God’s grace I got that. Now the whole profession is dying.

Leo Hohmann: International Lawyer and Freedom Advocate Reiner Fuellmich Seized by German Government in Mexico

German lawyer Reiner Fuellmich, who had been working on a project known as the “Second Nuremburg” to hold the originators of the Covid bioweapon plot accountable, was seized over the weekend by German authorities in Mexico where he and his wife had been staying. He was promptly flown to Germany and arrested.

A bit of clarity as to where the hesitation’s coming from (the Hun):

The Director of Public Prosecutions has repeatedly knocked back police requests to prosecute racists for potential breaches of the state’s racial vilification laws, police have confirmed.

The Herald Sun on Saturday revealed concerns among the Jewish community, which has long been targeted by neo-Nazis and has also been targeted by anti-Zionist Islamic extremists.

And:

[Deputy Commissioner Neil] Paterson said racial vilification was a “complex offence” to investigate and prosecute, but added that police regularly sent briefs of evidence to the Director of Public Prosecutions.

He said officers investigated whenever there was evidence the “possibility of an offence has occurred”.

“We’ve got many examples of us taking action and referring those matters to the Director of Public Prosecutions for a decision on whether there is sufficient evidence to prosecute,” he said.

And:

The cases the DPP has refused to prosecute include a rally at which members of the National Socialist Network performed the Nazi salute and made offensive statements.

This would be the same DPP, led by Kerri Judd who went to extraordinary lengths to fit up a cardinal.

Well Mark Bolton, if you’re not Graeme Bird, this is the hateful little weirdo he is.

I warn our Talmudic friends that this is truly vile stuff. I do not repost this to offend but to prove a point.

Back in August 2023

It’s the Jew Jab Genocide. We know that. That’s what it is. They owned the vaccines before they released them to thin our numbers. Every Jews sycophant in the world was patting them on the back for their rapid response. The Jews war against amalek was never all that subtle. But it gets more overt every year.

If we fight back all at once it’s all over. My new survival strategy is called 200 years of curry. Since Christians are such suckers for our persecutors let’s let the Hindu take the planet back from the Jew. Then Christians and white guys will have less evil overlords

This from about a week earlier. This is twisted in how much effort he put in making it a parody of a idyllic tale.

You walk through the enchanted forest and happen upon a chocolate rabbi sitting on a rock. He says use my poison needle for …….. Reasons.

Reasons say the birds. Reasons say the trees. Reasons say the furry animals that play, jump and laugh near your feet.

Of course you refuse but upon returning to the village you find that everyone has met the rabbi and most of them used his poisoned needle. Some were smothered by the trees. Some were eaten by the small animals. But we must give thanks and praise to the chocolate rabbi since most survived and were eligible for promotion.

But here is the thing. Those who refused the needle were only allowed to work minimum wage thereafter. So the rabbi had placed an institutional filter on the villages labour market.

Nothing like this could happen in the modern world but you are missing the point if you think I am merely arguing against aether denial or special relativity. I am saying they are so stupid and so maliciously idiotic that they were set up as institutional filters for physics.

Only by way of a century of these institutional filters in place could you wind up with physicists so completely retarded.

Hence why some of us are so guarded about this fella.

October 21, 2023 7:45 pm

JC – we need to start discussing various important concepts, again.

So Squire, what exactly is so wonderful about Capitalism?

Not in any order, but just what came into my head first.

Freedom
The market, with demand and supply, ensuring scarce resources are more efficiently allocated.
private property rights.
competition, spurring innovation and invention.
incentives, to create wealth and higher incomes.
Legal system, that protects individuals from tyranny and also protects property rights.

Lucky last

Human happiness.

Marxism seeks to destroy what Capitalism has built.

Capitalism isn’t an ideology or an economic theory. It’s just the practice of letting adults trade with each other without those in power doing much to interfere. Since it’s a free trade, it makes both parties better off, or they wouldn’t collaborate to do the trade.

Naturally, those in power eventually try to put a stop to it. It makes the mass of people wealthier, and we can’t have that.

Think what we have now resulting from state intervention. Australia is in the top five gas exporters in the world and we have experienced gas shortage panics.

We’re the largest coal exporter in the world and yet we close down coal plants while sending coal to countries to burn it for fuel.

Meanwhile, we have the 8th most expensive electricity in the world.

Evening here in the Cafe timezone. My birdies have gone off to roost and I have some Bons Ventos 2019 Portuguese rioja rotgut in a glass, and I’m enjoying eclectic music. Nina Simone is excellent.

Peace M

Nice beats, very Jamaican. I had the privilege once of attending a Appleton’s Run do in Kingston. My cousin was a rep for them, so I got an invite. There was a ginormous steel drum band, which I parked in front of and soaked in. They were seriously good. I’ve never found a decent single of those musicians so I’ll just have to do this one instead.

Not necessarily Roger. At least not all the tribes.

Modern Jews may traditionally trace their ancestry to the Holy Land, but a new genetic study finds otherwise. A detailed look at thousands of genomes finds that Ashkenazim—who make up roughly 80% of the world’s Jews, including 90% of those in America and half of those in Israel—ultimately came not from the Middle East, but from Western Europe, perhaps Italy.

Note I said Israeli’s, JC, not the Jewish population more generally. A majority of Israeli Jews are Mizrahi, with origins in the Middle East, North Africa or central Asia, having been dispersed thereto from the holy land at various points in time.

Yes, the genetics does get more complex in regard to European origin Jewish folk, namely the Ashkenazi and Sephardic groups.

A flow on effect from north of the Murray. FMD

The Director of Public Prosecutions has repeatedly knocked back police requests to prosecute racists for potential breaches of the state’s racial vilification laws, police have confirmed.

The Herald Sun on Saturday revealed concerns among the Jewish community, which has long been targeted by neo-Nazis and has also been targeted by anti-Zionist Islamic extremists.

Deputy Commissioner Neil Paterson on Saturday defended the force from allegations police were not properly enforcing the Racial and Religious Tolerance Act.

Mr Paterson said racial and religious vilification was a “complex offence” to investigate and prosecute, but added that police regularly send briefs of evidence to the DPP.

He said officers investigated whenever there was evidence the “possibility of an offence has occurred”.

“We’ve got many examples of us taking action and referring those matters to the Director of Public Prosecutions for a decision on whether there is sufficient evidence to prosecute,” he said.

Currently, it is an offence to — on the ground of the race or religious belief of another group — intentionally engage in conduct that is likely to incite hatred against that group and likely to threaten “physical harm” towards them.

Mr Paterson said police would only send a brief of evidence if they “believe the threshold has been met”, but the DPP has advised the threshold for launching prosecutions is “high”.

The cases the DPP has refused to prosecute include a rally at which members of the National Socialist Network performed the Nazi salute and made offensive statements.

We recently got advice back that there was insufficient evidence to prosecute,” he said.

The rally predated new laws outlawing the Nazi salute, which came into effect on Friday.

Dozens of neo-Nazis staged an impromptu demonstration in the CBD last week before the new laws passed parliament, performing Hitler salutes and singing songs about a “White Australia”

In 2015, police prosecuted three men for incitement against the Muslim community when they filmed a video depicting the beheading of a mannequin outside the proposed site of a Bendigo Mosque.

They were the first to be convicted of the crime since the Act came into force in 2001.

Last week, parts of a crowd at a pro-Palestine rally chanted a slogan which Jewish groups regard as anti-Semitic and closely related to the charter of Hamas.

Mr Paterson said chanting that slogan did not meet the “threshold” for prosecution

Victoria’s racial and religious vilification laws have long been criticised as setting too high a threshold for prosecuting racists.

In 2021, a parliamentary inquiry recommended the laws be simplified and the threshold for vilification be “lowered”.

At the time, the state government said the threshold for prosecuting racial vilification as “currently too high” but said any changes to the law needed balanced “the rights to equality and freedom of expression”.

The state government earlier this year opened a long-running review of the state’s racial vilification laws for public comment.

More stupidity:

The head of NSW Treasury has made a bizarre apology for sending out a staff email that condemned the Hamas atrocities in Israel.

In a newsletter last week, Treasury Secretary Michael Coutts-Trotter — the partner of federal Environment Minister Tanya Plibersek — wrote that it was “not possible to write without acknowledging the horror and suffering in Israel”.

In “condemning the atrocities committed by Hamas”, Coutts-Trotter said he hoped for a “swift end to the violence”.

However, that was followed by another email where Coutts-Trotter said it was his job to “lead in a way that ensures everyone feels equally valued and included”.

“It’s clear I failed to do that with comments about the Hamas attack on Israel that I made in an email to you all last week,” he wrote.

“I left some people with the impression I was taking sides against Palestine in the long-running Israeli-Palestine conflict.

“I’m not, but thoughtful and heartfelt feedback from some colleagues made clear that it was bad judgment to comment as I did.
“I’m sorry for that mistake and for any hurt I’ve caused.”

While Coutts-Trotter was hoping to clarify that he was not taking sides, many NSW MPs were proudly advertising their allegiance by wearing either an Israel or Palestine pin in state parliament last week.

He knows what side of his bread is buttered.

Marxism seeks to destroy what Capitalism has built.

Well it’s funny. Joseph McCarthy, who went after communists (somewhat vindicated later) but was being a grub and just spraying at everyone without any real proof, was supported in his primaries to the US Senate by a Marxist aligned electrician’s trade union!

Then there is the ongoing smear about Jews and Marxism. Yet who defended McCarthy? Roy Cohn!

There’s smears about Cohn as well but remember that McCarthy died young of an “unspecified liver disease”. What’s even crazier is he instigated the Lavender Scare during the Red Scare. I’m not telling you what to think, but to draw your own conclusions. Remember he was backed by that Marxist trade union; who else was backing him? Did he mix in those circles?
