Vauban (current fav) is a very good horse.
However, the trainer Willie Mullins is a fruit cake.
Before punters bet the house on it, they should refresh their memories of how Mullins gave less than ideal instructions for Wicklow Brave a few years back.
If Vauban had an Australian trainer & spent a few months out here, it would have cleaned up bigly & the Melbourne Cup would have been a great way to end a campaign.
But Anglicanism saw itself as a proper representation of the Catholic Church, retaining such things as the cult of saints. The Anglicans would have seen the Pope as a renegade, and vice versa, but much more was similar than different – especially the idea that Christianity was the Bible AND tradition. Catholicism and Anglicanism share many saints. Properly protestants (as I have come to understand it) believe there is no authority except the Bible.
It’s funny because it’s true.
Another big gas project stopped by 3rd nation ratbags:
Senior Jikilaruwu elder Molly Munkara – one of the six Tiwi Islanders behind the latest action – said the Barossa pipeline would pass through stories of the Sea Country that have been passed down from her ancestors since time began.
“If Santos puts that pipeline where it has said, it will destroy our sacred sites and our ancient burial grounds,” she said.
“This will impact our spirituality and destroy our health, our home and our lives.”
This is stark raving nuts.

GO. NOW.
Random historical snippet for military history ultra-nerds.
As of the 31st of January, 1945, the Services Reconnaissance Department had 1,047 services personnel (AMF, RN, RAN, RANVR, RAF, RAAF) and 75 civilians ‘on their books.’
Of the 1,047, (of whom 230 were officers): 554 were technical and training staff (including 10 AWAS & 1 WAAF), 136 were deployed in the field, and 357 were in training or awaiting deployment.
Of the 75 civilian staff, 19 were female and 27 were Portugese/Timorese.
Source: NAA.
Liar Right are about as relevant as the Victoriastan Lieborals. They aren’t even in the game at the moment. The days of the blue collar bruvvas are numbered.

So, it kind of looks like Marty Armstrong was (is) a thieving prick?
He totally lucked out not stiffing a Yakuza controlled business. In which case his scrawny throat would have copped a taste of Japanese steel.
Which really wouldn’t have been such a bad thing.
No, the C of E did not retain the cult of the saints.
This is complicated because Rome’s view of scripture and tradition was developed historically in response to the Reformation and right up to Vatican II. We can say that the C of E historically rejected Tradition as an independent source of dogma apart from scripture.
But understand their role quite differently. As above, the Cof E did not continue the cult of saints. Saints are not viewed as intercessors or as holy individuals whose merits contribute to the treasuury of merits of the church, but as models and exemplars of the faith which justifies (i.e. sets one right with God).
This is not true, at least not for the church bodies which derived from the magisterial reformations. They recognise doctrinal and liturgical authorities (in the CofE’s case the catholic creeds, the 39 Articles & the Book of Common Prayer), but those authorities are secondary to scripture.

There are also a lot of people who prefer to feel victimised by daily life and I feel that’s what you’re seeing. Being a victim requires no effort – others will pick you up and carry you through life.

Wissam Haddad, aka Abu Ousayd
out of interest, the Muz have very long names. It is definitely not Christian name then surname. A fact that the police, immigration, bureaucracies and the legal system in Australia has yet to realise. So they chose different parts of their name to fool the Farangi (i.e. us) on forms, applications, visas and the like. A muz mate used to give different versions of his name to Customs each time he came into the USA, so he never had to pay a parking fine – and probably a lot of other things. They love to skite how they con the stupid Farangi once you get to know them.
ZK2A:
So it would be similar to Alice Springs, yes?
Burnouts at weddings are perfectly acceptable. I agree, not really at a funeral.
Part-time bovver boy earlier.
Why, yes.
Yes he is guilty forever.
That is why we have these quaint things called “criminal records”. So people can check if someone has a propensity to do dodgy shit (like Marty Armstrong undoubtedly has).
Of course, crooks like Marty Armstrong don’t like having to carry the baggage of their past criminality with them. Sort of cramps their style when they are looking for their next shakedown.
Hope that explains it for you Wodney.
You’re welcome.
I don’t know that Mary was cruel, her father was certainly good at finding reasons to execute people who were personally inconvenient to him.

Absolutely not, you limey wog. I’ve given you every citation under the sun demanded and you now demand I find the comment where you informed us that the only reason you haven’t in jail jail is because you haven’t been caught. You admitted to posting it earlier, and pretending it was a joke. Go get a diaper change from the ladyboy,
There’s a bit of it around. Diamonds in the dust.
I think some people with criminal convictions can be truly repentant and reformed and deserving of a clean slate but Armstrong seems to be up to the same old tricks.
Well Zafiro, I’ve done the research and according to Racing.com Lastotchka is a five year old mare.
I think this blog has been much the same for as long as I’ve known it, sure there’s been changes in the line up.
And I think people are as keen on Martin Armstrong as they are on Tales of Tartaria and the only reason both keep getting splattered across the pages is to irritant and annoy.
I’ve yet to see anyone say anything positive about the Martin missives so why are they are a daily feature?
Citation:
Martin Armstrong is a convicted criminal who pleaded guilty to stealing millions of dollars from investors over multiple years. Those investors were grandmothers and grandfathers who invested their life savings into his farrago of lies, and ended up with nothing.
Nothing. Nothing for their families either, which was the aim of said investors.
Not content with that, he did 11 years as a prison bitch in Leavenworth (and was lucky not to get 50) before jumping straight back onto the horse* when released, only this time lowering his Ponzi scheme to gullible lunatic YouTube addicts because the lure of easy cash from local morons was too good to resist.
He recruits people, in the manner of Amway salesmen to further the Ponzi so that he, and only he benefits from it in any substance.
None of this can be denied. None of it. No shrieking, ‘LOL’ing or anything like it will take away from these undeniable facts.
*The horse’s name is Ponzi Symphony. In honour of some race tomorrow.
It must be 2023. What a crazy old world. You object to someone continually posting nonsense from an unrepentant confidence trickster and convicted and you end up racially abused.

JC, I don’t think it was you who mentioned “sporty beamer”
Those that did may be able to answer my question.
There is a tragedy and “sporty beamer” is introduced to the topic.
Why?
No it wasn’t.
Northern hemisphere horses have their birthday on January 1.
Southern Hemisphere is August 1. Hence the filly I am talking of is classified as four, when she is still only three.
Shouldn’t this rooster be on the next plane home, with his citizenship cancelled?
Yes Carpe. I know that.
I’m not talking pros and cons of any make of car FFS
My question is, why was the term “sporty beamer” introduced into the discussion here of this tragedy?
The important point being that 3yo fillies have no chance in a 3200m race. And, no matter how classified, she is actually still only three actual years old, or has just celebrated her actual fourth birthday.
Henry VIII was a tyrant. The handsome, athletic, golden haired youth who had romantically entranced the beautiful Catherine of Aragon in 1509 morphed into a brutal, nasty, sadistic and vindictive tyrant. When you read the final letter Catherine of Aragon wrote to Henry, written just days before she died in 1536, the Henry she was writing to isn’t the Henry of 1536, a mad, maniacal, power hungry, avaricious, tyrannical man who’d divorced her three years earlier, depriving her of any access to the child they shared, Mary. No, the letter was to a man who no longer existed, or who’d been submerged, it is a love letter to a man who’d vanished.
Until the day he died, Henry VIII remained a steadfast Catholic, just one that had cut ties with Rome. Remember though, he was always “defender of the faith”. Henry went to mass every day. He never had much time for Protestantism, and he particularly loathed Lutheranism, however he did indulge reformers such as Cranmer, because it was Cranmer who had organised his divorce from Catherine (Cranmer had been the Boleyn family chaplain). However, when Henry died, everything was off the leash. People forget that after Henry died in 1547, it wasn’t his eldest daughter Mary who succeeded him, it was his fervently Protestant son, Edward, who succeeded him. Edward VI only reigned from 1547 through to 1553, and he died, aged only sixteen, of either TB or possibly poisoning by Northumberland (who quickly married off his son to Lady Jane Grey, who was the cousin of Mary, Edward and Elizabeth, and we know what ensued afterwards with Jane Gray, the queen for nine days). As a child Edward had been schooled by radical reformers, equivalent to today’s far-leftists. Edward would have fitted in quite well with today’s Greens. He was a militant Protestant who refused to countenance even the slightest whiff of popery. He banned the mass, the reverence for saints and so on, even the display of crucifixes. The one person he could not control was his elder half-sister Mary who, much to his chagrin, was known to practice Catholicism on her estates and when she was summoned to London to appear before him, she would carry her crucifix and other signs of her Catholic faith to annoy him. It infuriated him.
After Edward died, Northumberland led the rebellion against Mary. His rebellion collapsed because Mary was personally very popular. Her popularity dissipated over the next few years for a number of reasons, desperate for love and children she married Phillip of Spain, a disastrous decision, and then of course there were the burnings of the reformers, which directly impacted her popularity in the home counties…and these were the counties that mattered in the court of public opinion in 1557 and 1558, it wasn’t the distant counties like Lancashire and others.
As a historical figure, Mary Tudor is someone I feel quite sorry for, a woman who had been deprived of her mother by a tyrannical father at a critical time in her youth. When she became queen, she desperately wanted to recreate the England of her happy childhood, that time before her parent’s bitter divorce. Sadly, it was not to be.

Forgive me for saying, but unlike me, you appear to focus on the least important facts about Henry.
Henry was a fat slob, who eventually was unable to stand and walk around because he was so obese. Towards the end he suffered from stinking bed sores with the odor making its way throughout the palace. He was literally rotting alive.

As a lot of people here know, I am personal friends with the Johnny Rotten herein. I can factually state that not once in the last 11 years has Johnny ever tried to sell or foist any Armstrong financial product on to me or any of our mutual friends.
That said, I wish both JC AND Johnny would cease and desist this boring, repetitive stoushing which detracts from the core business of this blog.
?
What have we learnt today, boys and girls?
1. Martin Armstrong is a crook. An unrepentant thief.
2. Johnny Rotten is a shill for Armstrong’s thievery.
3. Nietzsche was over-emotional.
4. Henry Vee-One-One-One made poor life decisions and worse health choices, and his modern day progeny probably includes Jonny Bairstow.
5. Googlery walks among us still.
6. After our recent outbreak of anti-Semitism, it’s good to see that old stalwart, anti-Catholic bigotry, is still able to hold it’s own. You know who you are.
Sure.
What’s your cut?
The Sporty Beemer thing definitely came from the Daily Mail.
No cigar
You seem obsessed with Beemers, Googles.
What gives?
Dragnet, nice pals you have. A dickhead posting frequent vile racist stuff because someone is protesting his shilling for an unrepentant convicted felon.
Also, what are your thoughts on Martin Armstrong? Being a friend of yours, what if Wodney was constantly shilling Armstrong to you every other day? Would you still consider him a pal, because that’s what he does to us here.

End of story.
Senior Jikilaruwu elder Molly Munkara – one of the six Tiwi Islanders behind the latest action – said the Barossa pipeline would pass through stories of the Sea Country that have been passed down from her ancestors since time began.
There’s a great big submarine with 80 dead Japanese in it that lies south of the Tiwis.
Last time I was there I asked a few older people if they knew of it, and its sinking in 1942.
Nope.
Brilliant.
The MCC Laws allow three minutes for a batsman to be ready to face the next pill after the fall of a wicket. The ICC World Cup playing conditions, however, override that Law and say it’s two minutes.
Either way – if the umpires find a ‘wholly acceptable reason’ why that two minutes should be extended, it’s play on. Clearly, they didn’t find an acceptable reason.
Which means they finally called out a bit of gamesmanship that just dragged on a bit too long. There is no chance – none at all – that an international batsman walks to the crease without all his stuff in order.
Good stuff.
Who’s Grigory/Googlery, Leigh?
While no-one can tell others what to do on someone else’s blog, I do wonder if these repetitive spit-bubble contests inhibit lurkers or visitors from finding a space to enter the conversation. While I enjoy the wit from a few regulars, it would be interesting reading fresh opinions.
I don’t think Johnny really gives a bugger about Armstrong one way or the other, but he has a perverse streak to annoy people.
India are unbeatable in the cricket I reckon.
Have you ever considered counselling your buddy that shilling for a convicted fraudster running an active Ponzi is not a great idea?
Look, it’s obvious he won’t do it to people he knows personally because when the money goes down the toilet the people he’s fleeced know where he lives.
He’s chasing gullible almost-retirees with cash on hand.
Really, you think he doesn’t give a bugger? And yet he gives a bugger enough to have posted that felon’s sludge to the past couple of years, even when people were simply ignoring it and not responding. He most certainly does give a bugger as he acts that way. Why go out of your way to annoy people for 2 years?
Lastly, what I’ve been doing is posting a disclaimer to any Armstrong posts he puts up. He most certainly gives a bugger about that.
I was crapping on last night how Jadeja was best pound for pound cricketer. Then he goes and gets a 5 for.
Tendulkar would have caved Ricky Slater’s face in.
A master of belting meat pies for six.
You have got to be fckin’ kidding me.
He is touting for a convicted crook and recruiting Ponzi customers just for shits and giggles?
Why don’t you get your bovver boy mate (part-time) to get in here and admit that himself.
Until then he can be regarded as Marty’s accomplice.
You know he had a promo of Armstrong touting an “investment” conference linked to his avatar here until JC yanked his chain on it and someone reported him to ASIC (allegedly)?
Wasn’t it on one of the Tiwis that the first Japanese (a pilot) was taken PoW? I wonder if they recall the name of one of their own?
I know that NKP. Hence my post on the subject. Hardly appropriate re Daylesford.
Just seeing if anyone would own it.
How’s the moral high ground this evening, Googles?
I won the game!
Nietzsche was prescient in that he recognized the danger of moving beyond a post Christian worldview. Weirdly enough, echoes of that Jungian character again, like so many influenced by Nietzsche, I was going to post the below in my original response to MT.
NIETZSCHE: Will to Power Explained (all parts)
The issue that immediately confronts me is that there are three dudes in my local pub wearing Pali scarves.
The rest don’t amount to a hill of beans really.
I’ve said my bit.
I’ve been lurking on this blog for 20 years, I find it immensely informative and entertaining.
Until it’s not.
I’m merely injecting some personal factual context.
Take it or leave it
One other point Dragnet.
You say:
Then:
Is Wodney annoying people a core business of this blog?
If you have a little time, take a look at how many times, your pal has instigated a random stoush either with me, KD or Sanchez even when we weren’t around. He’s a headcase and you ought to steer clear of this buffoon.
he wooden know
its the abyss
blogwreckers
Bathurst Island, and he was one of the POW’s killed in the Cowra breakout.
Thanks, Zulu. My northern geography is a bit suspect!
I’ve often read that Will to Power was misinterpreted. Unfortunately by evil doers like Hitler. Here in lies the problem. If his writing is that ambiguous in that it can be used by anyone to lay claim then that’s a big problem.
Your factual context is that your buddy Wodney hasn’t tried to hit you up to tip into Armstrong’s Ponzi. As KD says, probably doesn’t want to shit the nest, given that he knows it is dodgy.
The other factual context is that Wodney is here every day pushing the Ponzi scheme of a convicted fraudster to anyone gullible enough to fall for it.
Hopefully our tireless efforts to point out that Armstrong is a crook might save someone’s hard earned cash from being knicked, guv’nor.
Thanks for the opportunity to point it out once again.
“FFS, five people are dead, including two little kids, and all this f-cker can talk about is possible PTSD and comfort dogs for Plod who are paid to do this.”
I know a lot of Ambos and firies who think exactly the same way – they just want to do the job they chose, not get massive media attention and big brass celebrating the difficulties they face.
A quiet shout and “Thanks mate” at the pub is OK though.
Nietzsche was a flamer.
No, Johnny annoying people is not a core business of this blog.
From were in the hell would you dredge that inference up ?
I thought it was pretty clear from my initial comment that I am a very annoyed with all of yez !!
Which is why he wept/ bawled all the time.
OSC, the other point is that it is Ambos, Firies and maybe SES who get up close and personal with the blood and gore at these incidents, along with forensic Plod later.
Regular Plod secure the scene and direct traffic.
Enough already, indeed.
Wasn’t it on one of the Tiwis that the first Japanese (a pilot) was taken PoW? I wonder if they recall the name of one of their own?
Toyoshima from the Imperial Japanese Navy crash-landed his Zero there. He was captured on Melville Island by a Tiwi man called Matthias Ulungura, who’s had a statue put up to him on Bathurst Island.
Err, becuz you said it?
That is all he does, apart from racial taunting and, as JC says, picking stoushes with people who often haven’t been here for days.
So what is he doing here (apart from trying to lure people into a Ponzi)?
What is his contribution to the “core business” of the blog?
Surely it isn’t just the stale Benny Hill jokes and glib desk calendar quotes?
Well, you appear to dismiss the very frequent Armstrong posts as merely annoying. He’s tried to turn it into a core part of the blog. As a lurker, I’m sure you’ve witnessed how often he’s trawled Marty through here.
I’m also certain you’ve misunderstood his true intentions. When he posted the famous Marty blog claim that his (Marty) sentient AI has been around since 1985, woddenhead became compulsively irate.
Probably tried to shake the hand of someone who just lost their house.
Gayer than Mick Jagger.
I’m not his friggin keeper or defender.
I’m just providing MY opinion on the subject.
Really, haven’t you blokes got anything else to do ?
And the same goes for you Johnny.
Many philosophers and scientists are misinterpreted. The problem is that people don’t put in the hard yards when doing the reading, all too often bring their preconceptions to the reading, read someone who claimed X said that and then bothered to check to see if the writer had a friggin clue, or worse still, never bothered to read the texts themselves.
You wanna talk about ambiguity? Consider how many different branches of Christianity exist and how many different ways the Bible has been interpreted and how many different positions Christians have on various issues. By your reasoning that nothing in the Bible should be trusted.
The big problem is that some ideas are difficult to understand and there are too many people who don’t know when they don’t understand and start spruiking nonsense interpretations.
I believe the “sentient AI” claim is central to Armstrong’s (ahem) bwilliant plan.
He can claim it is the compuda soliciting investments, not Marty.
Of course, when the authorities demand the source code he will claim it is Big Something trying to steal his IP. When they raid him and find nafink, he will say that Socrates committed digital and virtual suicide because … who fkn knows.
He has a massive narcissistic personality disorder. FMD, read some of the sycophantic Dorothy Dixer questions he writes to himself.
Easy to see the attraction for a Ten Pound Pom with a inferiority complex.
Innit guv’nor.
Dragnet
Fair enough.
You’re sort of claiming we’re all at fault and I explained why I disagree.
Leave it there.
Steady on.
No-one is gayer than Mick.
He is the benchmark against which the gayness of others is measured.
Example:-
Liberacé was 9.1 on the Jagger scale; or
Freddie Mercury usually ran at about 80% of full Jagger.
Perhaps they don’t. There was a time when being here was fun but now there is too much abuse, too many ongoing debates because each party functions on the he who comments last wins, and interpersonal stashes that go on for days. I put up a link to a wonderful rendition of Beethoven’s 9th and that was immediately down ticked. There is someone or many who downtick comments purely out of spite. This blog is losing its better qualities and that is a shame because I used to very much enjoy the interactions here.
Too much abuse?
F-ck off!
Beethoven?
Now there is a flamer.

Like Christianity, there are numerous brands of soap power, but they all achieve pretty much the same ends – at least the good ones. In other words they’re pretty much the same with, obviously, some small differences 🙂
Look I recall reading this dude about 30 years ago so I’ll just use this excerpt regarding Will To Power:
I think the word power is too strong to describe this aspect of human behavior and I can imagine a freaking monster like Hitler would’ve jumped at it.
The basic human instinct is survival and not power. You can’t will power. I always believed the best description of human behavior was by von Mises in Human Action where he describes man as a problem solving mammal. Humans think about a problem then go about solving it.
Here’s my two cents worth. I think the ticking has turned this into an angry place at least for some people. Me, I really don’t give a rars one way or another as I believe the ticking is being badly gamed by some here. If a person posts a comment which is pretty innocuous and receives a downtick or two like you claim yours did with the classical music post then that leaves a bad taste in your mouth and there’s no skirting around that. I suspect it makes the place angrier than it normally is.
Lionel Shriver, in the Speccie, has an excellent piece asking “What did Hamas think was going to happen?”.
The last few paras extend the question rather nicely..
When’s JC going to bed to give us a rest from rants?
Great, great piece Mark.
Well, if you jump into bed, you wouldn’t have to worry about it, Toad.
Shriver is my favourite bad book writer.
It’s not that she can’t write, I just find her subjects too foul or ” out there” for me to engage with.
But boy can she write punchy, well constructed articles.
Lionel Shriver’s appearance on Q&A about 4 yrs ago was possibly the last time the program was worth watching.
The ratings graph from that night until today say that most people feel the same.
Well that was an incredibly boring last few hours of comments.
Just finished watching “The Last Rifleman” with Pierce Brosnan. Touching, heart-warming and gut-wrenching at the same time. Brilliant. Brosnan, playing a 92-year-old WWII veteran (Ulster Rifles) turns in a masterful performance. Highly recommended. If you can get hold of it, watch it.
While I’m being wooed by insomnia, here’s another military history tidbit for the 2 Cats who are into that kind of thing:
In early 1941, a Japanese Army major by the name of Hashida arrived in Australia unannounced, on the pretext of researching Australian resources (wool, etc.) for the I.J.A. His trackers soon became aware of his interest in Australian civil & military infrastructure, and this was proven when he arrived in the Netherlands East Indies after departing Australia. He was arrested, and two of his notebooks were confiscated & translated, indicating his mission was indeed one of espionage.
His notebooks, however, did not contain information that could not have been observed by any intelligent tourist, so there were no grounds for taking further action. (It is possible he sent more detailed reports home via several Japanese merchant vessels). It was speculated that his true mission may have been to reorganise the Japanese intelligence network within Australia, for he was observed meeting a number of Japanese known to Australian security agencies.
I haven’t finished reading the relevant files, but I assume he was released by the Dutch because Japan had not yet initiated the war in the Pacific.
While pre-war Japan had not made any formal plans to invade Australia, they had shown an interest in our infrastructure and capability. (As they had also in New Caledonia – a source of nickel – and the New Guinea – Solomons area). Major Hashida was just one element in that activity.
Antifa LGBTQ morons try to tag on to the pally rally but get their asses handed to them, by the pallies.
Hilarious watching them scuttle away tail between legs.

One of his lesser-known quotes which shows Herr Nietzsche could be funny in a sarky way from time to time.
hospital in Gaza and the miracle of the fuel
evacuation corridor open, too few seem to be taking advantage. Dumbest comments insisting there is no reason for people to move out of a war zone then pulling out their hair at gaza casualty figures
