Mr Lehrmann allegedly had consensual sex with the woman that night but failed to wear a condom when they had sex twice the next morning. Failing to wear a condom without a partner’s permission is considered sexual assault under Queensland law.

She didn’t notice the first time in the morning or gave him a mulligan?

Bizarre.

So what the alleged victim is saying is that they had sex 3 times overnight and in the morning – then 6 weeks later she googled the Higgins scandal, recognised Lehmann, and reported the two morning sex acts as rape (not wearing a condom).

I’m reading these posts but not believing.

At the end of the day, Hamas is an idea. An idea with wide support in the Palestinian community, Labor/Greens and their woke supporters. This is why it is so dangerous for the world. What Hamas did to those Jews is beyond comprehension and shows how evil this idea is. The atrocity has exposed the Hamas supporters, it is now known who they are and they can no longer hide in the shadows. In this light, the deaths of the Oct 7 Jews will not be in vain.

International Rugby requires many specialist roles – including a King’s Counsel.

England have used one as they claim Springboks hooker Bongi Mbonambi said “white c—” to England flanker Tom Curry in last week’s RWC semi final.
World Rugby dismissed the claim because insufficient evidence had been found to proceed in the matter..
It is reported that Mbonambi was staunchly defended by South African fans on social media, who claim that he was using variations of Afrikaans in a strategic form – “wit kant”or “wyd kant”, meaning “white side” or “wide side”.

Or, as Sir Henry Newbolt wrote:
And it’s not for the sake of a ribboned coat,
Or the selfish hope of a season’s fame,
But his Captain’s hand on his shoulder smote
“Play up! play up! and play the game!”

Gee, another coincidence. Two weeks ago, D’Ath introduced another bill:

Removing a condom during sex without consent will be considered rape and attract a maximum penalty of life in prison under sweeping laws introduced to Queensland parliament on Wednesday.

The new laws, aimed at criminalising the tampering with or removal of a condom without consent – commonly referred to as stealthing – will be introduced into parliament as part of an affirmative consent model.

So far 15mm in 3 months. Normal average is 50mm and there is zip, zilch, zero build up now. Shame because a couple of months back we had a flurry of 2 weeks where there was a distinct change to humid days and the ranges were having storms/convective showers building up on them.

Queensland to make stealthing illegal under new affirmative consent laws.

Behind all of this is Margaret McMurdo. She and her husband were behind the coup that removed Chief Justice Carmody because he wasn’t a Labor lawyer.

And Cassie is right to be sceptical of weasel Crisafulli.

He backs the feminist assault on the rule of law, he backed treaties (until the referendum baseball bat clued him up) and he has said he will not amend Chook’s VAD laws – which force conscientious objector medicos to refer people on to be killed elsewhere and empower VAD killers to kill in private hospitals – whether their administrators like it or not.

Genuine question.
I’ve just finished watching a Time Team episode on YouTube, about an Anglo Saxon burial location in Stafforshire.

Has there ever been any evidence found of ‘cemeteries’ of pre-contact Aboriginal Australians?

Obviously our land mass is huge, but would it not be expected to find multiple skeletons within the same immediate locality in some of the eastern seaboard areas that were considered to have been more resource rich and thus capable of bearing a greater population?

If burial rituals and norms are seen in a European context as representative of a structured, organised society and culture, what does the apparent absence of such suggest here?

Working on the assumption that this is in fact the allegation, bearing in mind the dubious reputation of the MSM:

IF there is no forensic evidence; and
IF there are no witnesses to any conversation relation to putting the tarp on; then

It should be a walk-up direction to acquit, using the standard of ‘beyond reasonable doubt’ as the benchmark.

After what Hamas did, anyone defending them is a moral imbecile. At best.

Just waded through Shane Dowling Kangaroo Court as I know he was all hot under the collar about Lehman and came across his musings on Lehmann before it was known who the Toowoomba man was. Nothing yet.

However in the same article apparently a 52yo ch 7 celeb was fighting at the same time to keep her name under wraps. That one seems even more sordid. Multiple counts of rape, sexual assault, indecent treatment of a child under 16, assault, occasioning bodily harm while armed. I await with baited breath on that being at the top of the media broadcast. Na I reckon the media will bury it because its one of their own.

Remember the ‘drink spiking’ panic?

Total bullshit.

Drink spiking is largely a myth and far more likely to be an excuse young women use after they become heavily intoxicated, according to WA research.

A Perth study of suspected drink spiking victims found claims of being given sedatives or illicit drugs without consent are exaggerated and that alcohol is often the real culprit.

The results, published in the journal of the Australasian College for Emergency Medicine, are based on 100 patients who attended Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital and Joondalup Health Campus over 19 months with suspected drink spiking from the previous 12 hours.

Almost nine out of 10 cases were women and almost 60 per cent of those were under the age of 25.

QEII Medical Centre clinical toxicologist Mark Little said the findings did not support the public perception of sedatives being placed by men into the drinks of women for the purpose of sexual assault or robbing them.

“Drink spiking with sedative or illicit drugs appears to be rare and if it does occur alcohol appears to be the most common agent used,” he said.

Officials sound alarm as thousands of Australians ignore advice to leave Lebanon

By Natassia Chrysanthos
October 26, 2023 — 3.28pm

Thousands of Australians in Lebanon are ignoring the federal government’s advice to leave as regional tensions escalate, prompting fears their options for escape will close quickly if war breaks out between Hezbollah and Israel.

Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade officials have expressed alarm that only 400 of the more than 15,000 Australians estimated to be in Lebanon, to Israel’s north, have registered with the government. They feared a repeat of evacuations during the 2006 Israel-Hezbollah war, which they described as a “consular crisis … seared into the minds of DFAT officers”.

Teenager apologises to Adelaide court after pleading guilty to extremist offences

Judge Paul Muscat will decide whether the boy will be sentenced as an adult, and has previously raised concerns that the boy’s “sympathy towards ISIS has not diminished”.

Mr Slocombe also said the defendant told a psychologist that he fantasised about stabbing people and it was a “calming thought to him.”

The court heard that since the boy has been in prison, drawings have been discovered depicting the ISIS flag and masked ISIS fighters carrying weapons.

Judge Muscat previously told the court about multiple incidents that had occurred during the boy’s time in detention, including “concerning” comments made about next year’s Anzac Day services.

“There’s a comment made that if he were not in detention next year on Anzac Day, he would do something,” Judge Muscat had said.

I’ve said it before, and i’ll say it again. I’ll say it a million times if necessary.

THEY DON’T HAVE PRINCIPLES, ONLY TACTICS.

Their opposition to Nazis is only because they were in the way. They don’t give a flying f*ck about jews, or even Nazis. As the great Thomas Wictor often said, as sociopaths, they only notice that real people are disgusted by Nazis, so they copy real people by pretending disgust at Nazis.

It’s pretend. Hating Nazis furthers their cause. Their ideological difference is all but zero. They’re after their own hearts, but they’re rivals, so must be hated and defeated.

Orwell had their measure. He understood that all their behaviour was in the interest of their ultimate goal – raw power. As sociopaths, they understand that once they achieve absolute power, they can finally dump the bothersome pretence, and let their victim finally know that they don’t give a shit about compassion, the poor, victims, everybody. Like democracy, it’s a train to get you to your destination.

Yes. Very noble.

There is also a contingent of very drunk, inexperienced young blokes that stagger off and bow out and should find a safe place to sleep. But they end up zedding out in laneways, car parks and nature strips.

There is an extremely large contingent of drunk, inexperienced ladies and blokes that have yet to learn the art of personal responsibility.

But it’s never, ever happened yet, regardless of generation.

What is actually beyond reprehensible is that a small cohort on both teams tend to use their own lack of personal responsibility as a crutch while claiming – on the part of the ladies – ‘my drink was spiked’ or on the part of the blokes – ‘I don’t remember getting in that punch on’.

And that lack of personal responsibility echoes through the rest of society.

Malcolm Day’s shock door kiss policy as he fears ex Bree Maddox will let gay club The Court go ‘straight’
PerthNow
October 26, 2023 5:00PM
Comments
Topics

Malcolm Day says he used to make straight men kiss at the door of The Court Hotel to prove they were “gay friendly” as he battled to keep the much-loved Beaufort Street club gay.

And the 64-year-old has pointed the finger at ex-wife Bree Maddox for allowing the club to become a largely straight venue.

He and Maddox paid $4.15 million for the Court in 2005 and spent about $3m on renovations. Day relinquished ownership to Maddox in 2016 in a $10m-plus divorce deal.

She moved to sell the venue last month to Australian Venue Co, owners of popular Perth bars such as The Leopold Hotel, Raffles Hotel, The Aviary and The Bassendean Hotel.

Now Day fears the Court will struggle to remain a space for LGBTQIA+ revellers.

He was disappointed about the sale.

“I bought The Court Hotel in 2004. I had it for 11½ years and did a lot of renovations,” Mr Day said.

“Unfortunately, it has just been sold. Back in 2016 I relinquished it to my ex-wife. She just sold it.

“When I had it, I said, ‘Honey we have to keep it gay and lesbian’ — for a few reasons. Notwithstanding they come every week. It’s their venue. The moment you change it, they’ll go somewhere else.

“It’s not a good long-term business model.”

These days,, draw a circle around US60K. My kid did both her undergrad and grade there.

She told me there was always a strong leftwing undercurrent in various subjects taught. There were lots of conservative kids, but they generally kept silent during the brainwashing bullshit that went on – even in business school it goes on! The non-left kids sometimes pushed back, but lots were afraid to do so in case it impacted grades.

My little miss was pretty outspoken though and often pushed back.

There’s some really dubious bullshit that goes on too.

I recall my kid needed some help with the subject dealing with cost of capital. It’s really complex stuff. The class couldn’t get their head around it and they all. failed. However the teacher just pushed them through with passing grades.

The longer the Jew hatred bullshit goes on, the more likely Trump wins the 24 election. He may be winning while in jail, but he will win.

I think the Jew hatred isn’t like the stuff that went on in 30s Germany though. I think manifesting itself in a different way.

It’s anti white hatred. Sure, Jews are copping the brunt of it, because the left considers them as white “colonizers” too, and at the moment they’re in focus. But consider also what’s happened to the J6 political prisoners languishing in jail because they participated in a protest against the 2020 stolen election.

This time around, it wouldn’t be just Jews being flung into gas chambers, it would be white conservatives going for the one way trip to the ovens.

Muddy, hypocrisy is a window to the soul, or lack thereof.

They are against war, except those they like.

They are compassionate, except for those they hate.

They are anti-violence, except when it furthers their cause, and they justify it by projecting their hate onto others.

They are pro-environment, except when it doesn’t hurt their enemies, in which case it’s scorched earth all the way.

They adore the working class, so live as far away from them as possible, while lamenting their efforts to escape its tyranny.

Their hearts bleed for the poor, but are only prepared to sacrifice your money for the cause, not theirs.

They love their indigenous brethren, as long as they toe the line and stay on the reservation.

Most left leaning people are genuine, but the true believers are dedicated to power, from which power is all that matters. Everything else is a charade to that end.

Jeez

US economy accelerated in Q3.

The U.S. economy grew at a remarkable 4.9% annual rate in the third quarter, marking a major acceleration from the second quarter as consumer spending soared and residential construction rose.

The data, released Thursday morning, underscore just how strong the economy remained through the summer, though most forecasts suggest growth has slowed since then. Economists had forecast 3.8% growth for the quarter.

That makes nominal GDP … 4.9 (GDP) + 4.1 inflation = 9%

9% means it’s 5% higher than where the Fed would consider it ideal. If inflation doesn’t come down like yesterday, the Fed could make things really ugly.

and getting buggered when you are blotto is a great way to “Build Character?

Not really, no. You are missing the point.

As a younger man I spent the odd night waking up in places I never thought I would. A couple of times there were consequences for that – the loss of a day’s pay, a few other things. I owned that, because I put myself in that situation.

How about the taxpayer pays for a couple of giant, airport-hanger-style sheds. In those sheds the taxpayer can pay for beds, airconditioning, free replacement clothes, and have sandwiches on offer for all those people who have zero personal responsibility and get smashed on the green cans or Tropicana to the point where they’re at risk to themselves.

Also, there should be staff on hand to help them into those beds, and give them the new clothes and sangers and make sure they don’t choke on their own spew overnight.

And then we do that for every city, large town and small town in Australia.

Because that’s exactly what they do in every town over 3000 people in the NT, and because the people who end up there refuse to take responsibility for their own actions.

They’re called sobering up shelters, and they’re run by professional handpatters, and they keep operating because the people there refuse to take that personal responsibility.

Own it. Do not be a prude, but realise that if you put yourself in that situation then bad things may happen, and if that does happen then live with it rather than resort to that old chestnut – ‘it’s someone else’s fault.’

Well it’s 6pm here in London and I’ve finally got some time, and energy, to post.

I had every intention before the trip on posting some updates but time and tiredness has got the better of me.

The previous 2 weeks in Europe was so hectic (travelled 4,500+ kms) in visiting Paris, Swiss Alps, Pisa, Florence, Rome, Venice, Munich, Amsterdam and Bruges that we were so tired after each day that we hit our bed at around 9-10pm each night.

It’s been an experience although next time we will be more specific ie a city or a region.

We’ve been in London for 5 days now where we’ve managed to go at our own pace in seeing and doing what we want to do.

These last 20 days I don’t think the wife and I have done so much walking so when we return to Melbourne next week we’ll need a holiday to recover from this one !

I have managed to kept abreast on events these last 20 days of which this trip has at least afforded some time away from the horrors of what is happening – at times it can be almost overwhelming in how depressing it is and depraved our Western society has become.

I simply have no answers although the evil Barbarians have now outed themselves entirely which I’ll never forget or forgive, whether it be in Australia or overseas.

I used to be a member of a forum for my UK soccer club but given the quite widespread and depraved toxic support for Hamas and the utter foul anti-semitism that was allowed, I made my final comments and have now left that cesspool. I might love my UK soccer team but I will have no association with anyone who are openly in support for such an evil group of people.

I saw on the OT there was some discussion re film actors/actresses who actually fought in wars . . . might be my first topic when I resume, although I had hinted in my last tease

”I’ll be back”.

Guess it comes with the travel territory, although additional things here at home re troublesome neighbours have not helped in the night-time worry department. Hairy tells me to calm down, and that we can sort it out. Nevertheless, I lie in bed planning whether we should sell up or not. The for and against arguments.

I’m not even sure what they are, so best not to overthink things right now. I have quite a few family-related things to do tomorrow so a dance class was probably over-optimistic anyway. Cheers to all my fellow insomniacs. It’s good to be back in Oz. 🙂

Cheers to you, Wolfman, good to hear from you, and looking forward to the thread on film stars at war. Keep calling in.

Glad you’ve been able to take some more leisurely strolls in London and gather strength. Your memories from this trip will also be a great adventure shared together often once you are home again. Our pace through Italy, Austria, Germany and back to Italy then a cruise was fairly hectic too. I hoped the cruise would be more restful but there was so much walking and stair climbing in each tour and a tour every day bar one ‘at sea’ day so I think I’ve actually improved my level of fitness, though my legs still ache from it. I’m glad I’ve decided to go back to bed now.

The world political situation can certainly be a cause of distress, but there are positive things around too. Pleasant everyday things that make you glad to be alive. Coming home to our Jacaranda in full bloom spreading its night scent onto our verandah, and the Currawongs glad to see me back this morning, plus Attapuss in raptures … all of these are good things, and so are some good people who have done small kindnesses for us while we were away.

Its more complicated than that, Gabor. She’s a widow and kicking up about some tree lopping work we want to have done. She was ok with it when we left five weeks ago. She’s also quite ill with cancer and on chemo. Her place has heaps of council non-approved extension, but we don’t have the heart to use that against her. The greenies on council would be on her side re the tree lopping, even though an aborist says ok to lop a little, they are not native ones and probably don’t need permission. It’s just another battle I don’t want to have.

Clearance divers having some fun:

Explosives Disposal: International Military Divers Train Together in Flooded Hungarian Mine (26 Oct)

Soldiers from across Europe suited up in heavy diving equipment inside a cavernous flooded stone quarry deep beneath the Hungarian capital. Once their air tanks, flippers and waterproof diving suits were secured, they slipped beneath the cold water and, flashlights in hand, disappeared into the darkness.

The military divers from Belgium, Germany, Hungary and Lithuania were participating in an international training exercise in Budapest to prepare them for a variety of scenarios: recovery operations after a boat accident, rescues during a catastrophic flood, or the removal of unexploded underwater ordnance following an armed conflict.

This was the second year in a row that Hungary hosted the 10-day exercise, which provided the soldiers with hands-on training in a variety of environments: diving 24 meters (79 feet) deep into the flooded passages of a former limestone quarry, submerging into lakes and caves, and facing the powerful current of the Danube River.

Doesn’t sound like any Aussies were there, but maybe Marles could have a chat with his EU counterparts about that.

More renewable energy woes. It’s almost like renewable energy isn’t actually cheap.

Siemens Energy Shares Crash 37% As Renewable Bust Sparks ‘Green Panic’ (27 Oct)

Siemens Energy shares in Germany crashed on Thursday after the company warned its wind turbine business is grappling with quality issues and offshore ramp-up challenges. The company said it’s evaluating various measures to strengthen its balance sheet and is discussing state guarantees with the German government. This comes as a financial crisis in offshore wind energy is brewing.

Two months ago, Orsted A/S, the world’s largest offshore wind farm developer, saw shares crash in Copenhagen trading after it warned: “The situation in US offshore wind is severe.” The stress revolves around inflation, high interest rates, and supply chain woes, which have led to the company considering abandoning US offshore projects

It’s not just wind that’s in trouble. Last week, solar equipment maker SolarEdge Technologies saw shares crash as much as 30% on sliding European demand.

Just in time for Bowen to build all those offshore wind turbines he wants. This could be as big a fiasco as Turnbull’s tunnel.

Rita Panahi:

Hawthorn Football Club should pay, and pay dearly, for the role it played in the vilification of three former employees, Alastair Clarkson, Chris Fagan and Jason Burt.

As a Hawks fan it pains me to say that the family club is guilty of trashing its own reputation, causing enormous damage to the reputations of three men – including the most successful coach in the club’s history – and now facing a seven-figure payout.

Former president Jeff Kennett can say all he likes about Hawthorn acting in good faith and following “correct procedures” but that defence rings hollow when it was the Hawks board who selected Phil Egan – who has since been hit with more than 70 criminal charges – to complete the Binmada Review.

A report so defective that not a single non-Indigenous or non-Maori individual was interviewed.

It was an activist report seemingly designed to find racism, whether it existed or not, and that’s precisely what it did.

The board members complicit in commissioning the deeply flawed “cultural safety review” that plunged the club into crisis must also depart the Hawks.

It’s astonishing that Ian Silk, the individual with the greatest culpability in selecting Egan, remains on the board.

This is also the man who campaigned for Hawthorn to dump their profitable poker machines, but then accepted a position to chair the Crown Melbourne board, a venue full of poker machines.

Hawthorn’s ineptness is not a defence.

It’s little comfort to the three men whose good names were slandered far and wide that the club acted incompetently rather than with malice.

To add insult to injury, the ‘racism report’ was leaked to the media.

Hawthorn weren’t responsible for the leak but that shouldn’t exonerate them for the harm caused to Clarkson, Fagan and Burt, who all stepped down from their respective roles in the immediate aftermath. Clarkson stepped away from the game again mid-season after the stress of the saga became too much for him.

When I first wrote about this scandal more than a year ago the media was apoplectic with rage; veteran footy writers did not expect either Fagan or Clarkson to coach again at AFL level.

The accounts of supposed ‘human rights abuses’ and racist bullying at the club were uncritically accepted despite the obvious shortcomings of the report.

As I wrote in September 2022:

“Any notion of due process died the moment grievous allegations were published from anonymous accusers who remain protected while the accused are named, shamed and systematically destroyed by a race-baiting media ravenous for a couple of big scalps.”

By any measure the three men, particularly Clarkson, were treated appallingly.

They were deemed guilty by a vociferous media and denied the assumption of innocence.

The impact of being slandered as racist monsters was devastating.

The trio were repeatedly defamed as racists, bigots and bullies on social media. In some instances, that abuse extended to their daily lives.

Former Hawthorn player Jordan Lewis described how Clarkson was denied service at a petrol station after the allegations were made public.

The Hawks now face a million-dollar payout to Clarkson and Fagan, as well as possible payouts to former aggrieved Indigenous players, and then there’s the AFL’s Meade investigation into the club’s handling of the cultural safety review which could result in penalties.

Frankly, it’s more than a little absurd for the AFL to be threatening penalties given its role in the unedifying saga including the pressure exerted on Clarkson and Fagan to admit to some form of ‘cultural insensitivity’ to make the issue go away.

Clarkson is entitled to exercise his legal options against the club and one would imagine he has a strong case against several media pundits, too.

Leading industrial relations lawyer George Haros, who was integral in securing Israel Folau a multimillion-dollar payout from Rugby Australia, believes Clarkson has multiple avenues of actions including defamation proceedings.

Haros, a partner at Gadens, told the Herald Sun that Clarkson was entitled to compensation if Hawthorn mismanaged the review.

“Loss could extend beyond remuneration to loss of sponsorship income and also for pain and suffering,” he said.

If you listen to those with intimate knowledge of board machinations, Kennett himself was played.

They allege that the former Victorian premier was the primary target of this damaging fiasco.

The men whose reputations were trashed were collateral damage.

What hasn’t been written about is the quiet coup that occurred at the club with Labor-connected operatives from the “Hawks for Change” group taking control.

That’s a column for another day.

Bit more on offshore wind farms.

Offshore Wind Demands £95/MWh (26 Oct)

No new wind farms will be built off Britain’s shores unless the Government lets operators earn more money from the electricity they produce, the chief of the nation’s biggest generator has said.

Tom Glover, country chair of RWE’s UK arm, said the price offered by the Government to wind farm operators must rise by as much as 70pc to entice companies to build.

Developers must be offered between £65 and £75 per megawatt hour (MwH) for the power generated from wind farms, Mr Glover said.

In particular, the article fails to point out that the prices mentioned are at 2012 prices, which incidentally should be dropped entirely in future auctions, as they are of no relevance and are highly misleading.

£75/MWh, for instance, equates to £95/MWh at current prices. This is an important omission by the Telegraph, because one commenter pointed out that since the current market prices is £100/MWh, offshore wind must still be a bargain!!

That means $183/MWh at current exchange rate, compared to about $30/MWh for Victoria’s brown coal plants. Knowing Labor I doubt anything less than $200/MWh would be economic after all the union padding is factored into the capital and operating costs. And he reckons renewable energy is the cheapest!

Alas, far from having produced a smooth transition to pluralist democracy, the collapse of Communism seems, in many places, to have opened the way to a resurgence of nationalism and the emergence of new antagonisms.

Western democrats view with astonishment the explosion of manifold ethnic, religious and nationalist conflicts that they thought belonged to a bygone age.

Instead of the heralded ‘New World Order’, the victory of universal values, and the generalization of ‘post-conventional’ identities, we are witnessing an explosion of particularisms and an increasing challenge to Western universalism.

the right to free speech outweighs the right to a fair trial

Presumably this includes the right to identify the accuser rather than have her/him hide behind anonymity.

If the accuser has the right to anonymity but the accused doesn’t then, ipso facto, the accused should have the case against them thrown out. If they have less rights than the accuser then this *must* be prejudicial – why, in the eyes of the jury, would the accused have less rights unless they were already guilty?

James Morrow:

At this stage, when, or whether, Israel gets on with the messy business of uprooting Hamas from the Gaza Strip is almost beyond the point.

For Australia and the world, the bloody terrorist rampage conducted in the name of Palestinian “resistance” has already done its job, revealing the cracks in a fractured West and changing the entire narrative of the Middle East.

Hamas, and its ultimate paymasters in Iran, now feel they have the upper hand.

And why shouldn’t they?

The past fortnight has seen nothing but headlines across the West demanding that Israel hold fire and not go too far, with each passing day giving Hamas time not only to dig in and re-arm but also tacit permission to do it again.

This after 1400 innocents were butchered in the most appalling ways and 200 more captured to be used as human shields.

Yet instead of unity, in democracies such as Australia, domestic politics have been fractured by the attacks.

Anthony Albanese, who as a junior-burger MP helped found Parliamentary Friends of Palestine, is now being wedged by old ALP types on the one hand who still stand with Israel and his historically ignorant green-left flank which thinks Israel is an evil settler colony that causes nothing but trouble.

Thus we see the likes of Foreign Minister Penny Wong issuing statements this week calling for humanitarian assistance to protect “innocent Palestinian civilians” in Gaza while not also mentioning the hostages Hamas holds as shields.

Quite something for the woman who recently was feted for her role getting Cheng Lei out of China.

And if politics is really just downstream from culture, one does not have to look hard to see how fractured Western societies are now.

Whether it is the spectre of Jews being told by NSW Police to avoid the Opera House when it was lit up in the colours of Israel or being detained by cops for holding an Israeli flag too close to Palestine-supporting thugs, the attack has laid bare cleavages we in Australia have for years pretended did not exist. It’s the same story across the great democracies.

Western leaders who would have 22 years ago presided over unified shows of strength and grief over 9/11 now preside over societies where support for Israel, or even the West, is not a given.

Against this backdrop both Hamas and Iran feel they can act with impunity. After all, who’s going to stop them?

Here some history is in order.

Last decade, Barack Obama tried to rebalance Washington’s dealings in the Middle East away from its historic ally Israel to Iran, where the US is still the “Great Satan”.

This went so far as a deal that enabled the mullahs to have their own nuclear program — a peaceful one, of course.

In office Joe Biden and his handlers, many holdovers from Team Obama, picked up the thread, allowing Iran to sell more oil on the world market to raise cash and access billions of dollars in overseas bank accounts that had been blocked since the 1979 revolution.

Instead of a united front against the most unimaginable barbarism (captives burnt alive, babies beheaded, women and girls raped), Iran now looks at the West and sees demonstrators chanting for the elimination of Israel.

Yet the US is playing a double game, standing by Israel yet reining it in on the one hand while also not doing anything real to stop Iran either, not even impose sanctions.

In this sense, the violence we have seen has really been apocalyptic: Not just in the modern sense of end of the world horror but in its original Ancient Greek sense, which meant “a revelation” of something.

What has been revealed is ugly, namely a West that would rather blame the victim than attack the perpetrator, in the hope that they won’t be next.

We must hope there are no more such apocalypses in the offing. In either sense of the word.

Israelis kill Hamas deputy commander
Jacquelin Magnay
Jacquelin Magnay

Israel claims to have killed one of Hamas’s senior plotters of the October 7 atrocities in an assassination plot carried out behind enemy lines.

Israel said it had killed the deputy commander of Hamas Intelligence Directorate, Shadi Baroud who had helped plan the brutal attacks on Israeli civilians, which claimed more than 1400 lives, and the kidnap of more than 200 hostages.

The assassination and air strike was carried out by a joint operation of the Israeli military and the elite Shinbet unit operating inside Gaza and comes after Baroud narrowly escaped an earlier airstrike two weeks ago which killed his wife and five children at their home in Khan Younes.

Baround was a close associate of the Gaza head intelligence commander, Yahya Sinwar, the Israel Defence Force says.

His death comes as Israel says it believes at least 224 hostages are being held by Hamas, an increase of two from earlier estimates.

Israeli authorities had earlier indicated one of the kidnapped victims was Australian, but both Israel and Australian foreign offices say this was a mistake in publication and no Australian is being held hostage that they are aware of.

On Thursday Hamas’ spokesman Abu Obeida posted, without providing any verification, that “about” 50 of the hostages had been killed by Israeli air strikes. This is an increase on previous Hamas reports that 22 hostages had been killed by Israeli aerial bombing.

The Gaza health ministry also issued a 212-page document listing names and identification numbers for 7028 Palestinians it says have been killed by Israel’s bombardments in the past three weeks. There is no distinction on the list between Hamas operatives and civilians.

The release comes after the United States president Joe Biden had questioned the veracity of the Palestinian civilian death toll, saying he had “no notion that the Palestinians are telling the truth about how many people are killed”.

The darkest day in Australian sport. Lol a reminder 8 years ago in the Daily Telegraph:

IT was the “blackest day in sport’’ press conference that turned out to be one of the more spectacular own goals of the dying Gillard government.

Flanked by sporting chiefs, junior ministers Jason Clare and Kate Lundy announced organised crime was behind the use of performance enhancing drugs involving multiple athletes and possible match fixing.

“The findings are shocking and will disgust Australian sports fans,’’ Clare said.

“It’s cheating but it’s worse than that. It’s cheating with the help of criminals.”

But the persistent myth that it was a concocted stunt by Labor’s spin doctors to divert attention from other daily disasters deserves to die. Like so many other adventures of the Rudd-Gillard years it was pure stuff-up. While the documents released by the Federal Court on Friday confirm Labor was desperate for a political fix over the sports doping investigation, internally senior ministers were horrified by the bull in a china shop antics of Clare at the original February 2013 press conference.

Indeed Treasurer Wayne Swan and manager of government business Anthony Albanese let fly at a tactics meeting just days after the press conference tearing strips off the junior ministers and the media team.

“Whoever war-gamed it didn’t get it,’’ admits a Labor operative who participated in the meetings. “The fact that Albo and Swan didn’t know about it. It was a big deal. When the press conference happened there was a lot of people in the government saying, ‘What the hell?’”

Clare, with his radio announcer voice and what passes for movie star looks in Canberra, thundered that sports fans would be “sickened’’ by the revelations.

“Don’t underestimate how much we know and, if you are involved in this, come forward before you get a knock at the door,’’ he warned.

But what Labor knew turned out to be not much. It was 16 months after that original 2013 press conference before Australian Sports Anti-Doping Authority issued infraction notices. Clare and Lundy announced the “blackest day in Australian sport’’ before they launched the investigation.

Detailed notes and affidavits released to the Federal Court confirm that Labor was desperate for a result. ASADA chief executive Aurora Andruska has put in a sworn affidavit revealing that at a meeting in Canberra two days after the “blackest day’’ presser officials made it clear that “PM wants it to end’’.

Later that year, Lundy was under pressure from the party room. “Min — her colleagues at her, or accusing her of hampering chances of re-election.” Proposed options according to Andruska included, “Deal with AFL — support staff sacked, points off, players off.’’ It was the same deal signed off on by the AFL a few months later.

When Tony Abbott was elected last year and Sports Minister Peter Dutton looked into the mess he called in retired judge Gary Downes to review the brief. Some government sources suggest Andruska was overwhelmed in the role expecting the job to be more of a swan song before her retirement than the firestorm it proved. Should the Federal Court declare the joint investigation between the AFL and ASADA unlawful some of the evidence they have collected will be regarded inadmissable.

For the 34 former and current Essendon players issued with doping notices, ASADA has suggested it will reissue notices even if the investigation is deemed unlawful. Labor colleagues remain steadfast in the view that regardless of the outcome Clare over-egged the pudding. A graduate of the Bob Carr school of politics, they accuse Clare of playing the classic NSW government law and order card without fully understanding the ramifications within sporting codes.

“Kate Lundy probably didn’t want to be out machoed by Clare. It was a mess,’’ says a Labor source. The press conference was derided as a concocted stunt. Later, AFL’s outgoing CEO Andrew Demetriou complained that the “very public press conference’’ announced the findings in a manner that was “severely damaging”.

“The world was told there was some very large issue — underworld — infiltrating sport that impugned just about every athlete in this country,” Demetriou said. “That was a very unfortunate way to commence that investigation. It damaged lots of very, very good sports, lots of very, very good people,’’ he said.

Former NSW Premier John Fahey also suggested it was a political stunt cooked up by the Gillard government to divert attention from the other daily disasters of the government.

But he couldn’t have been more wrong. Once again stuff-up wins over the conspiracy. Labor’s own verdict on the conduct of Clare and Lundy came in July 2013, when the pair emerged as two of the biggest losers in Kevin Rudd’s final cabinet reshuffle. Clare was demoted from cabinet and Lundy lost sport. Even Clare’s late switch to the Rudd camp wasn’t enough to save him from a political kicking.

Nursing home residents were “left to starve” during the pandemic, lawyers representing bereaved relatives have told Scotland’s Covid inquiry, reports the UK Telegraph.

I have every suspicion we’d find the same thing happened here.

I recall a leading geriatrician telling ABC RN that patients she examined who’d presented with injuries from falls were also suffering from malnourishment, which had weakened their muscles.

Erdan shows UNGA video of Hamas decapitation at ceasefire debate

Gilad Erdan spoke during the start of a two-day debate on a cease-fire for the Gaza War that began on October 7 when Hamas infiltrated southern Israel.

Israel’s ambassador to the United Nations played a video of a Hamas terrorist attempting to decapitate one of its victims as he addressed the General Assembly during a debate on a Gaza war ceasefire.

“The man on the ground is an agricultural worker from Thailand. He is not Israeli. He is not Jewish. He was merely alive, trying to make a living for his family,” Erdan said as he held up a tablet with the video.

“But he was decapitated with a blunt gardening tool,” Erdan said, adding that it was “horrifying.”

He spoke during the start of a two-day debate on a cease-fire for the Gaza War that began on October 7 when Hamas infiltrated southern Israel killing over 1,400 people and taking more than 224 hostages.

Erdan urged the UNGA not to call for a ceasefire which he said would only support the Iranian proxy group Hamas and allow it to rearm itself so it could launch further attacks against Israeli civilians.

“Any call for a ceasefire is not an attempt at peace. It is an attempt to tie Israel’s hands, preventing us from eliminating a huge threat to our citizens,” Erdan said.

Israel in Gaza “is not at war with the Palestinians. Israel is at war with the genocidal Jihadist Hamas terror organization,” Erdan said, as he stressed that the Jewish state was standing at the forefront of a global battle.

“Hamas’s genocidal ideology, just like ISIS, al-Qaeda… is not just about destroying Israel. It is ultimately about world domination. It is about bringing the Jihad war to the soil of each and every one of your countries,” Erdan warned.

Hamas leaders can end the war at any moment by stopping its rocket fire into the country, returning the hostages, and turning themselves in, Erdan said.

“If the drafters of this Resolution truly want peace, if they truly want an immediate solution, then why do they not demand this of Hamas?” Erdan said.

He devoted a portion of his speech to the victims of the attack.

“Twenty days have gone by and Israel is still counting her dead. It took weeks to collect all of the bodies,” Erdan said. “Some bodies are burnt like pieces of coal – it is almost impossible to identify them.”

Ash was found in the throats of countless burnt bodies, evidence that they were alive when they were lit on fire, he said… Medical personnel who first found the burnt human remains didn’t understand at first what they were looking at, Erdan explained.

In one case two spines were found “bound together with wire – one belonging to an adult, and the other, the small spine of a child,” he said.

“Try to imagine that parent’s feeling as they and their child were burning alive. The painful screaming of the love of their life was the last thing they heard,” Erdan told the UNGA.

I fell like stealthing is an urban myth cooked up by the femme bots. Much like the “rape kulcha” on university campuses, it never existed.

Remember the ‘drink spiking’ panic?

Total bullshit.

Drink spiking is largely a myth and far more likely to be an excuse young women use after they become heavily intoxicated, according to WA research.

A Perth study of suspected drink spiking victims found claims of being given sedatives or illicit drugs without consent are exaggerated and that alcohol is often the real culprit.

The great irony of all this is that once upon a time women were not allowed in pubs after a certain hour because they couldn’t handle their drinks. I’m not suggesting we should go back to this arrangement, but there was clearly no acknowledgment that this would be the consequence and some other protection might be needed for females for whom ambition is greater than ability with regards to consumption of alcohol.

$160,000 worth of wind and solar power with batteries can’t power two homes alone

By Jo Nova

Let’s run an experiment on a whole nation that we can’t even do easily on a single home

Imaging scaling this up for a country?

The Daily Sceptic has the story of an Australian farmer in Victoria who has gone off-grid to try to be as self sufficient as he can, not out of ideology, but for pragmatic reasons.

He has two 3 bedroom homes, with 30 solar panels and a 1kW wind turbine each. For storage they have about 30 German lead acid batteries which at current prices is about $15,000 of batteries each.

But even so, each house still has bottled gas stoves, and a 6 kVA petrol generator. The generators are set to come on when the batteries get too low, which often happens in the evenings of autumn, winter and sometimes in spring. (He estimates about 60 – 100 hours each year).

Even above all that equipment that needs gas, fuel and maintenance and cost about $160,000 in total to set up, they still have to grow, cut and collect, ouch, 100 kg of wood (220lbs) per week in winter for each house.

He warns that anyone who thinks the nation can run on wind and solar without fossil fuel or nuclear energy is “totally deluded”. And these are farmhouses on the coast in Victoria — so a milder climate — we’re not talking of snow.

How exactly does this kind of system translate into a national energy for people living on high density blocks with no trees, a heat pump and a Tesla they need to plug in?

Extrapolating from our renewable energy experience, anyone who thinks that a modern society can function with a power grid that runs on just solar and wind power without fossil fuel or nuclear backup that’s able to immediately provide up to 100% of power needs on cloudy, still days and dark, windless nights, is totally deluded!

And getting grid-scale lithium ion battery storage to provide the sort of supply time that we have on our farm would cost trillions of dollars, deplete the planet’s non-renewable resources to the point of imminent exhaustion and then it would have to be done all over again in 10 years.

Nothing is truly set and forget:

After 20 years the first of our solar panels have started to fail and have been replaced.

Renewable energy systems should more honestly be called replaceable energy systems.

None of the components can be expected to work for more than 25 years and often a much shorter time than that.

Even with nearly 3 tons of lead acid batteries for two homes, they still really only have a one day supply:
