So, Monty’s a David Irving fan.
Makes sense.
I’m not a lawyer, but much of the time when people bang on about the Geneva (Law of Geneva – which primarily governed the protection of war victims )conventions, they usually mean the Hague (use of means and methods of warfare). And guess what, the Hauge is not quite as “nice” as they expect.
For example:
Which might apply if said enemy was operating as a uniformed combatant.
Be fair John, some of them wore the green bandannas.
Less then a month after nearly 20,000 U.S. soldiers had been killed in the Battle of the Bulge, and three weeks after the discovery of the horrors of Auschwitz…
If one is to accept that proposition, then one single, surefire certainty exists:
mUnter – you will never, ever write history. Your tendency of adherence to the losing side of any argument will be why you are remembered.
If at all.
There were some excellent articles written by a Lt. Col. Tom Kratman that addressed aspects of laws of war. Sadly lost by the site closing, and yes, I did check archives.
He touches on it in some of his fiction, but it is fiction, I don’t expect people to equate it to reality.
I’m going back to the argument about whether the Viet Cong in general, and the Nogerian gentleman in particular, who was photographed receiving summary execution during the Tet offensive, were entitled to the protection of the Geneva Convention.
…being part of the maintenance team I got to take a compaq luggable home.
Luggable. Meaning a personal computer the weight of three large Besser blocks. Great what the advertising geeks think up.
Someone somewhere invented the laptop. Can’t remember who though.

It really is rather amazing, you know. These corporate sheilas want board seats, senior executive post quotas, and talk about the “glass ceiling.” You see an obvious case of the bint, who is in charge of Optus, who has made two major mistakes and has previously spoken about “work-life balance.” Without the use of quotas or affirmative action, Jacinta Price, in my opinion, single-handedly secured the No vote in a crucial referendum in Australian history.
I think I can alleviate Monty’s concerns.
ADF lawyer to us during pre-deployment training (I didn’t go but I was there for the training): “If we discover any hint that you have contravened the laws of warfare I will personally, cheerfully, prosecute you to the full extent I can. That is my job and I enjoy it”. (Paraphrased from memory).
Pretty sure the IDF will have similar.
Numerous news items of prosecutions of personnel indicate that such is the case.
Without the use of quotas or affirmative action, Jacinta Price, in my opinion, single-handedly secured the No vote in a crucial referendum in Australian history.”
Yep, that she did. What a gal.

Looking at him, I think it’s a disguise for a slimming session.
He must have been grazing in a lush paddock.
Yes.
I think the lawyer is throwing it out there as a catch-all excuse.
Not so fast.
There needs to be an extensive investigation of his history. Did it involve regular hypos? Was he aware of the onset? Did he take his treatment regime seriously? Had he been advised to avoid driving in certain circumstances?
Pretty simple, I would have thought.
If you are attacked on your own turf by a non-signatory to anything, you aren’t bound by anything you’ve signed that relates to some other country (or entity) that has.
You raised it, m0nts, so let’s hear it… In what way is what the IDF is doing in Gaza (leaving ENTIRELY to one side motivations, who started it, etc, etc) something like the Dresden firebombing raids in your mind, such that they might be viewed in hindsight as maybe roughly equal (being generous)?
I hear a lot of hand waving from many about “atrocities”, but not much more than that. I know specifics are hard to come by just yet (fog of war and all that) but given you are so obviously convinced, there must be some particularly egregious examples that spring to mind, surely?
“Vooking” and “pogo” are two words that spring to mind….
It surely were.
Almost farter time for today.
I will make one further observation though – the DEW and CGI enthusiasts are noticeably absent from discussions involving a conflict – nay, war – that is absolutely chockers with both kinetic energy distribution and vision of that happening.
Monty is a bit like this:
I am not so sure Captain Hindsight pundits will look back as sympathetically on Gaza as they do on Dresden.
Gaza is being bombed with extensive care and warning by the IDF. Any and all civilian casualties are caused by the hamas dogs using their civilians as shields, preventing them from escaping and, as many of the hamas top vermin have said, wanting their people to spill their blood to galvanise the rest of the muslim shitheads.
In short gaza is the opposite of Dresden, which is not say dresden was not acceptable.
Now go and grow a dick you little turd.
She also mentally wrecked Noel and Stan.
They’re tribal Big Men. This was supposed to be their time.
I don’t wish to get into an argument, and I have exactly zero knowledge of the details, and it is certainly possible that the legal eagle is using “diabetes” as some sort of cover for something else, but this is, frankly, ignorant bulltish.
If this 66yo is insulin dependent, then it is very likely (90ish%) that he is a type 1 diabetic, and has thus been managing his condition for a few decades.
The whole “did he take his treatment regime seriously” question, just by its very asking, shows a misunderstanding of how diabetes works.
It isn’t something where if you take drug A, then bad effect B will not happen. Diabetics are trying to mimic the adaptability of the human body to various inputs (carbs, exercise, rest, stress and others) to create a somewhat stable output (blood sugar between 4 and 8, typically). Which, if you aren’t aware, is a pretty small target.
This is not a science. Even with modern on-body monitoring and/or insulin pumps, this is not even close to a science. It is closer to an art form, and treating it as other than that is, frankly, ignorant.
Ironically, it – if a hypo is what happened – is most likely not about a poor management regime. It is more likely about a good management regime that failed at exactly the wrong moment.
“Had he been advised to avoid driving in certain circumstances?” What “circumstances” would they be? “Fred… if you think you’re going to have a hypo, don’t drive”?????? Just, frankly, a nonsense suggestion.
I could make a good case for SWMBO not driving, but that is more about the lead foot than the diabetes (and don’t tell her I said that!).
Monty’s erection over the past month has been too much even for him to bear, hence his excitement posting over decapitated babies, kids having their limbs lopped off. People set alight. In his warped mind, Israel had it coming.
You loathsome turd. Head on off to Gaza and see how long you last arsehole. They hate you too, but you are too dumb to realise. Phuck off now.
On diabetic hypos.
I have had a little bit of third hand exposure and struggle to understand how someone could flip straight into Zombie mode.
I do know one guy who would become very antsy and disoriented when he went too far, BUT he could recognise the precondition before it got to that.
I really don’t know.
But it requires a bit more examination than his lawyer holding up the “diabetic hypo” card.
This clown in Canberra that is hunger striking would be a paid agent providing propaganda for the fiends pushing this economic death spiral. If he really was insane, I’d have pity; But I doubt that.
Well said!
Absolutely true, so far as my experience goes.
But the next bit is when they actually “get to that”. Whereupon any thought that they are compromised can (not will) disappear. It can be very difficult to get sugars into them when they get uber-low, because they “know” they are “fine”.
I can’t stress enough how non-linear this all is.
Reckon you or I could sit out the front of parliament protesting about whatever for a week? Feds would haul us off after 10 minutes.
The lawyer is in fact a high-end criminal practitioner who has a list as long as your leg of significant career crooks who he has acted for. His bio:
Regardless of how much cash the driver has tucked behind the couch, one does not hire a bloke like Martin Amad if there’s been a genuine mistake.
Yes this is speculation. Yes the Sporty Beemer driver may be stupid rich. However, you do not pick this bloke out of the phone book to be your mouthpiece unless you have some explaining to do.
I’d add Thomas Mayo to that list.
Mark.
My questions would be around prior “unexpected” hypos, and whether he might have considered handing in his licence.
I wonder if he might avoid serious criminal charges, but face civil action?
Yes, Mark.
This guy exhibited similar behaviours to hypoxia. Simply unaware of the condition he was in.
The questions which might be asked would be around history, and whether he had been advised to consider not driving, or perhaps should have volunteered to hand in his ticket.
Like KD and Rosie, I find the choice of lawyer interesting unless he is just a family friend or acquaintance who was the first name to come to mind.
I guess it annoys me that these lawyers will call “sub judice” at the drop of a horse-hair wig, but casually drop supposed extenuating circumstances into pressers left, right and centre.
Sancho,
If he has a history of frequent hypos then I’d agree he ought not be driving.
With so much unknown I’m hesitant to draw any conclusions at all.
What I guess I wanted to do was just take the opportunity to explain that this could just be a diligent diabetic in a bad situation, and that absolutely nothing we know, or even suspect, argues against that.
Yes, he has an interesting lawyer, but otherwise, I’m prepared to bet on the “bad situation” option, to be honest.
TE, re failing microwaves.
I found them great for cooking pappadums.

Yeah, let’s see.
Five deaths and multiple serious injuries warrants an in depth investigation of his entire history.
TE, we have owned a Sharp Convection Microwave for, I think, 30+ years.
Well, two. We replaced the first one a decade ago. With pretty much the identical model.
Yes, of bl00dy course it does.
The front page of tomorrow’s OZ is a credit to them.
Moron. Nowhere at all did I call for any sort of genocide. You’re an even bigger idiot than I previously thought you were. Hard to credit that you have enough brain capacity to breathe on your own.
You get down and dirty into the gutter thinking you are making a coherent argument. 100% wrong. Its all projection, and with the finger you used to point at KD and me, there are three pointing back at you.
You are exactly what you accuse others of. I stand with Cassie – piss off back to whatever filthy hole you slithered out of.
if only trolleys has never been invented

kumbayah, you simpleton
rack off CL
Yeah, the Sharp convection microwaves were good. Then they started lowering the quality and now they are not.
Must be like that fishing reel company. Ya gotta design them so the customer keeps buying. Built-in obsolescence.
From BB at 7pm re Bolt’s ridiculousness…
Laugh? Laughable is the only adjective you can apply to the idea of resurrecting Marshmallow Morrison to run anything bigger than an ant farm.
His success in immigration was almost entirely due to the man he later shafted…Tony Abbott.
Give up now, Bolta, this idea is a total dead parrot.
On microwaves – we have had 2 Panasonic Inverters that have been brilliant, long lasting workhorses.
Got a good ten years out of the first one. We only passed it on 5 years ago because I wanted the shiny new model to go with our shiny new model kitchen. No turntable so very easy to clean.
Only downside on the new model is that 10 seconds is the smallest interval you can choose, unlike the first one which allowed 1 second increments. Initially as annoying as hell when you want to nuke something for 15 seconds but I’ve gradually got used to it and work around it.

“Resembled a large book”?? Looxoory, lad. When I started we ran an insurance company off an 80MB hard drive and 128KB of RAM. Drive was the size of a washing machine and, like many a washing machine, had a tendency to shimmy all over the floor.
For home use I started with a Sinclair zx81, then the Spectrum then a Commodore 64, then the 80286, and then followed the treadmill to my current beast.
After finishing training, my first real program was hand written on coding sheets and the lovely ladies in the lunch room turned it into punch cards. My 2nd or 3 job was to take a program written in the 70s to structure it properly and eliminate the GOTOs ,it was written for when the mainframe had two K ( yes K) of ram. Our first 1GB hard drive was the size of a fridge.being part of the maintenance team I got to take a compaq luggable home. As we were a large IBM sho, and I was then working as a junior tech consultant I was given an AT computer to evaluate. It was out of the first 24 in the country.
When I changed jobs from the mainframe house, I was given a DG1 512k of Ram and 2x 3.5 floppies. We priced a 5mb hardrive $3500 ( 1983 dollars). Traded that for a Toshiba t3100, which looked like a laptop, but no battery

Sack her!!!!
Optus CEO Kelly Bayer Rosmarin’s $15m Vaucluse mansion is the scene of an elaborate photoshoot while Australia grinds to a halt due to massive internet and phone outage
. Photoshoot at CEO’s home as Optus battled network crash
. Stylists ferried in luxury items like furniture and flowers
. Husband spotted overseeing shoot as country ground to halt
A team of stylists staged an elaborate photoshoot at the exclusive mansion home of Optus CEO Kelly Bayer Rosmarin while her company’s network failure triggered nationwide chaos.
As the nation’s second-largest telco went down for hours – killing all calls, texts and internet access for 10million customers – Daily Mail Australia can reveal the CEO’s family home in wealthy Vaucluse, in Sydney’s east, was a hive of activity.
While Ms Bayer Rosmarin was refusing to get on the front foot and communicate with furious customers, a fleet of vehicles brought in luxury items like throws, shrubbery and furniture for a photography session in the $15million mansion.
Even the CEO’s husband, Rodney, admitted that the photo session – staged for the architect who renovated their 1920s period home – was ‘unfortunate timing’.
Mr Rosmarin – a former executive at Commonwealth Bank – could be seen directing the stylists, along with one of their daughters and the family’s pet dog, a silver-grey Italian greyhound named ‘Vespa’.
Wicker furniture, elaborate floral features and rugs were moved into position along with various bits of camera equipment.
Mr Rosmarin told Daily Mail Australia: ‘They just hadn’t got round to photographing it yet and it was being done today.
‘It was just unfortunate timing.’
He admitted today’s network crash had been ‘hell’ for his wife, and added: ‘Unfortunately, that’s the problem with big organisations and modern technology.’
Ms Rosmarin was not seen during the photoshoot, which commenced several hours after Optus went down across the country.
Services began to be gradually restored after midday.
Several young men and women could be seen staging the photoshoot – ferrying props onto and off the balcony, which overlooks Sydney Harbour.
The family only moved into the home 18 months ago after selling another, more modern-style, luxury home nearby for $7.75million.
They also sold their second home in Bowral in the Southern Highlands for $4million last year, after spending almost $400,000 on a swimming pool renovation.
Since moving into the new Vaucluse home – which is heavily fortified with extensive CCTV cameras – the family have also spent a further $376,00 on a new pool and spa for that property too.
The four-bedroom home sits on 1200sqm plot on a quiet hilltop street, with views to the Harbour Bridge and CBD, and across the water to the lower north shore.
It boasts a grand Great Gatsby-style interior with original feature fireplaces and a spectacular curved stairway for a dramatic entrance to the reception area.
There is also a library and a vault and formal lounge and dining rooms, as well as a living room, sitting room, lift and a butler’s pantry off the expansive kitchen.
The photoshoot was branded a ‘PR disaster’ by critics.
‘Talk about karma coming to get you,’ Sky News Australia commentator Steve Price said.
‘The timing couldn’t be worse – no one begrudges the fact they have a nice house in Vaucluse but the fact they let this photoshoot go ahead is a PR disaster.’
Details of the photoshoot emerged after the CEO faced backlash for taking too long to respond to the crisis.
It took almost seven hours before Ms Rosmarin spoke out about the devastating outage, breaking her silence in a call over WhatsApp to the ABC.

Meet the Nike Marketing Specialist Who Says Israel, Not Hamas, Is ‘Massacring Civilians’
Nike’s James Rehwald: Israeli claims of Hamas atrocities are ‘pure projection’
<em>A top marketing specialist at Nike responded to Iran-backed terror group Hamas’s Oct. 7 slaughtering of innocent Israeli women and children by accusing the Jewish state—not Hamas—of “massacring civilians.”
James Rehwald, who has worked as a “digital media marketing specialist” at Nike since 2021, on Oct. 16 posted a video to his Patreon account titled, “Why Israel Deliberately Targets Civilians.”
That video, Rehwald wrote in his caption, exposes the “brutal military and settler colonial occupation that Israel has imposed on its native Palestinians for the past 75 years.” Rehwald went on to downplay the atrocities Hamas terrorists committed against Israelis during their attack on the Jewish state, arguing that Israel commits those same atrocities “on a much greater scale.”
“Much of what Israel claims about [the] Palestinian resistance is pure projection,” Rehwald wrote in his caption. “The killing of children, massacring civilians, the r*pe, torture, hostage-taking, and imprisonment that Israel accuses Palestinians of occurs on a much greater scale by the Israelis.”
Rehwald’s dismissal of Hamas’s barbaric attack—which saw some Hamas terrorists gleefully film themselves using a hoe to behead a civilian’s corpse—comes as some employers cut ties with young staffers over their support for the terror group. Chicago-based law firm Winston & Strawn, for example, withdrew an employment offer to New York University law student Ryna Workman, who issued a statement saying Israel “bears full responsibility” for Hamas’s attack.
Many top corporations, however, have offered muted responses to Hamas’s terrorism—or no response at all.
Nike CEO John Donahoe nearly a week after the attack sent an internal email to employees decrying the “horrific attacks in Israel” but did not mention Hamas, prompting pushback from some Jewish employees.
Hamas directly ordered its terrorist fighters to kill as many Israelis as possible, according to the Wall Street Journal.
Neither Rehwald nor Nike returned requests for comment. After the Washington Free Beacon contacted Rehwald, the Nike marketing specialist added a message to his X, formerly Twitter, account stating, “Views are my own, not my employer’s.”
In addition to his work at Nike, Rehwald—a California native who graduated from the University of Portland—has amassed tens of thousands of social media followers thanks to his “leftist comedy and education” videos, which have been described as “anti-imperialist satire.”
Rehwald in his videos discusses topics such as, “How the U.S. bourgeois state co-opts progressive rhetoric to mask class exploitation,” and “How U.S. imperialism is causing climate change.”
Rehwald says he started making those videos in 2020, citing his love for “leftist politics, history, media, entertainment, satire, and video production.” Rehwald in April teased an expansion of his media endeavors, saying a “few big producers/creators recently reached out to me about potentially expanding into bigger projects one day!”
“I aim to develop funny, informational, and at times horrifying content,” Rehwald says on his Patreon account’s “about” page.
The anti-Israel video Rehwald shared to his Patreon followers, meanwhile, comes from a YouTube channel known as GDF. Its video accusing Israel of deliberately targeting Palestinian civilians only once mentions Hamas and refers to the terror group’s assault on the Jewish state as a “devastating surprise attack.”
The channel in other videos has accused the United States of creating the terror group ISIS, a claim that Iran’s government has used as propaganda. GDF has also attacked socialist senator Bernie Sanders (I., Vt.) as insufficiently leftist, calling him a “génocidaire” who supports “regime change.”
The Rehwald-endorsed YouTube channel blamed Israel for Hamas’s attack just four days after it occurred.
“It should be common sense that following a terrorist attack in Israel people criticize Israel’s treatment of Palestinians… the cause of the attack,” the channel wrote.

In his address, Erdan showed the General Assembly a brief video of a Hamas terrorist trying to decapitate a Thai worker with a garden tool during the October 7 onslaught.
“I have seen much footage over the past weeks that will be seared into my mind forever, but there is one sight that I keep on seeing when I try to sleep. In the video, one can see a terribly injured civilian – bloodied, yet alive – laying on the ground as a Hamas savage screaming Allahu Akbar repeatedly pummels the
man’s neck with a garden hoe in order to decapitate him,” the UN envoy said.
Monty’s confused, he’s trying to locate the Nazis to punch but the calls ARE COMING FROM INSIDE HIS OWN HOUSE!!!
Thousands of civilian deaths from indiscriminate bombing.
The U.S. Army Gets Desperate, Puts White Men Back In Its Ads
Woke Ads Weren’t Filling The Ranks
Readers may recall some of the U.S. Army’s woke ads in recent years, focusing on diversity, such as this one about a lady soldier who was raised by two lesbians.
The full text of her tweet:
The US Army’s new recruitment ad is so cynical. After 15 years of relentless progessive brainwashing and doing a literal “stand down” to root out “extremists” ( ie white conservatives), they are now facing an existential recruiting crisis and must return again to seducing the children of said “extremists” into fighting for their country.
A country that no longer exists.
Others mocked the Army’s U-turn from diversity.
That’s it? A bit of hand waving about “thousands of civilian deaths”? Not a shred of anything stronger?
As to “indiscriminate bombing”, I’d have thought that any scholar of war would have agreed that, whatever else the Israeli’s might be, they certainly discriminate when it comes to bombing.
You must have info that I’m lacking to charge into the fray with these sorts of accusations. Come on, spill the beans.
Well, that settled that, then!
I can still do mental arithmetic in Octal, if that helps…
Fewer Than 1 In 5 Ukrainian Refugees In Germany Are Employed
Politicians from across the political spectrum have criticized the generous welfare benefits available to Ukrainian refugees which are disincentivizing many from joining the labor market…
Only a fraction of the estimated 700,000 Ukrainian refugees of working age have found employment following their arrival in Germany, a report from German newspaper Der Spiegel has revealed.
According to the report, just 19 percent of Ukrainian refugees in Germany have found work with the rest currently living off the country’s welfare state.
Several politicians from across the political spectrum expressed their concern about the sustainability of providing ongoing support.
Matthias Jendricke, chairman of the Nordhausen district council in Thuringia, described the situation as “disappointing.”
A member of the governing Social Democratic Party (SPD), Jendricke said he thought it would have been easier to integrate Ukrainians into the labor market than other refugees.
In the weeks following the Russian attack, he even bussed Ukrainian refugees from Berlin to his district as the county was in urgent need of labor.
“Things went completely wrong”, he explained, revealing that only a fraction of the refugees were interested in joining the labor market.
Joachim Walter, a member of the CDU opposition and county council president in the Tübingen district of Baden-Württemberg, held a similar view.
“The willingness of Ukrainian refugees to work has been significantly reduced because of the aid,” he claimed.
He accused the federal government of being too generous in relation to the social benefits on offer for Ukrainian refugees, claiming that “high public payments” do not “encourage people to work here.” – No Shit Sherlock!
Hamas leaders are billionaires, rolling in the dough
Can someone explain to the rest of us why the leaders of Hamas, the world’s evilest terrorist organization which has just murdered 1,400 innocent people, are actual billionaires living their best lives in Qatar?
According to the New York Post:
While their people languish in poverty and are treated as human shields, the leaders of Hamas live billionaire lifestyles.
The terror group’s three top leaders alone are worth a staggering $11 billion between them and enjoy a life of luxury in the sanctuary of the emirate of Qatar.
The emirate has long welcomed the leaders of the terror group and installed them in its luxury hotels and villas at the same time as hosting a vast American military presence.
They need to be like Osama bin Laden in the wake of the 9/11 terror attacks, wearing rags and hiding in some stinking cave, staring at their stashes of child porn, not living large in Vegas-like Qatar.
Hamas runs an office in Qatar’s capital, Doha, and leaders Ismail Haniyeh, Moussa Abu Marzuk and Khaled Mashal live a luxurious lifestyle.
They have been seen at its diplomatic club, photographed on private jets and traveled widely. The leadership would have been there for the 2022 soccer World Cup.
Instead, Hamas is loaded with characters like this guy, Hamas leader Khalid Mishal, who’s worth more than $2 billion, living in the lap of luxury, and getting glamour shots in Vanity Fair and this magazine cover satire.
Why the heck is that going on?
The 1,400 torture-murders they planned and executed in Israel, and the 200 hostages they are holding now in their filthy tunnels
Burning babies and beheading 10-year-olds is what they do, not what normal people do. They are the vilest of criminals and need to be completely rubbed out.
Yet nobody in Qatar seems to be upset by this evil ensconced at the heart of their regime, nobody wants them out, they and their billions seem to be as protected as ever.
It’s the kind of thing that makes Qatar a state sponsor of terror, but we don’t see any action from the Biden administration to make that declaration.
The U.S. and all civilized nations need to come down hard on these maggots, lay down the law for Qatar, pull U.S. troops from that state, and above all, get hold of Hamas’s ill-gotten gains to pay for reparations to Israel.
They aren’t entitled to that money now no matter how they got hold of it.
How’d Hamas get that money, anyway?
We know they don’t produce anything.
We know that people in Gaza, which they rule over the way Mexico’s cartels rule over some parts of Mexico, are dirt poor.
The only possibilities seem to be foreign aid, whether from the U.S., Iran, hostile states such as China, or various Arab princelings, or perhaps drug dealing and human smuggling, the way Mexico’s cartels do it.
The U.S. needs to start defunding these thugs now.
There’s something seriously askew with this old coot.
Monty studiously avoiding answering ” why don’t hamarse surrender and hand over the hostages”.
Because that, and that alone is the only way to save civilian casualties and end the fighting.

How Is Trump Winning? The Answer Is That He’s Running on the Issues
He’s winning on high gas, grocery prices, and interest rates. He’s winning because Americans don’t want to give up gasoline-powered cars, gas stoves, hot water heaters, dishwashers, and wood-burning pizzas. And that’s just for starters.
A recent editorial from a very conservative newspaper editorial page — not to mention any names here — is asking, “Will Trump Be Indicted Into Office?”
This is their response to the spate of recent polls showing Mr. Trump leading in nearly all the toss-up states and defeating Joe Biden a year from now.
Then, there’s another headline that I will identify from the Washington Post entitled: “Eight columnists discuss: How in the world is Trump winning?” Half of those columnists were conservatives. Just saying.
They too completely missed the point. Mr. Trump is winning on the issues.
He’s winning on high gas and grocery prices. He’s winning on high interest rates on mortgages and credit cards. He’s winning because Americans are sick of the socialist Green New Deal. They don’t want to give up gasoline-powered cars, gas stoves, hot water heaters, dishwashers, and wood-burning pizzas — just because a bunch of 30-something Ivy League bureaucrats tell them they can’t have this kind of stuff.
Mr. Trump is winning because, from Day 1 back in 2015, he warned about illegal immigration, job losses, and falling real wages.
Mr. Trump is winning because his tax cuts generated huge income gains for typical families and lower-income folks.
Mr. Trump is winning because he took out Soleimani and bankrupted Iran, befriended Israel, and changed Middle Eastern politics with the Abraham Accords.
Mr. Trump is winning because he rang the warning bell on China and followed through with tough trade policies.
Mr. Trump is winning because the non-white working class is deserting Democrats and moving into the Republican column, as a result of the issues just cited.
Mr. Trump is winning because Democrats and RINO Republicans thought the election was going to be about his legal problems and they could throw him in jail for over 750 years.
Yet most of the country see right through that as a two-tiered justice system denying his free speech — a problem, by the way, they themselves may encounter.
Mr. Trump is winning because he wants parents to run the schools and cops to run the streets.
President Biden’s Democrats bet wrong big-time on class warfare and attacking success, where ironically, the wealthiest and best-educated voters now will probably go for Mr. Biden more than Mr. Trump.
And then Democrats bet wrong again on illegal immigration, thinking that a pathway to voting citizenship for another 8 million illegals was a terrific idea. But it wasn’t. It was a terrible idea.
In fact, Hispanic voters have basically the same negative view on this as white voters.
Meanwhile, African American voters had Mr. Trump’s record-low unemployment rate and Trump’s upward mobility opportunities. And they liked it.
Donald Trump’s fraud kangaroo court trial is the latest display of dirty politics running amok
By Michael Goodwin
The dictionary defines a kangaroo court in two ways.
The first is “a mock court in which the principles of law and justice are disregarded or perverted.”
The second is “a court characterized by irresponsible, unauthorized, or irregular status or procedure.”
Both apply in spades to the Manhattan civil fraud trial of Donald John Trump.
If New York’s government were capable of being embarrassed, now would be the time.
The case itself is the scandal.
It’s a strange allegation of fraud where there is no victim.
So what’s the crime?
The charges are based on the assertion that Trump and his family inflated the value of their properties for insurance and loan purposes.
As one real estate lawyer told me, if that’s a crime, two-thirds of New York developers belong in jail.
Ah, but none of the others is named Trump, and so the show trial must go on.
It’s neither a secret nor an excuse that the former president revels in being obnoxious, and he is playing the part to perfection in the lower Manhattan court room.
Scowling, outbursts, insults and name-calling are part of his everyday defense, before, during and after each session.
The outbursts sometimes continue through the night on social media.
These and other assaults on good sense have been part of Trump’s schtick since he first ran for president eight years ago, making it easy to see him as the boy who too often cries wolf.
Anti-Trump crusade
That’s a grave mistake, because this time there really is a wolf.
The case is that bad.
It stinks to high heaven and is more persecution than prosecution.
Trump’s crime is being a rich, loud-mouth Republican who won the White House over Hillary Clinton.
That was unbearable for many blue state leftists, among them New York Attorney General Letitia James.
She repeatedly called him an “illegitimate president” and, according to Fox News, once told him, “I’m going to give you the same level of respect that you gave to President Obama, and that is absolutely no respect at all.”
Revenge anyone?
She reportedly led a chant saying “Hey hey, ho ho, Donald Trump has got to go!” and participated in a chant of “Lock him up!”
After winning her election, she vowed that “We will use every area of the law to investigate President Trump and his business transactions and that of his family as well.”
It is to her everlasting shame that she kept the promise, including the part about his family by dragging three of his children into the circus.
In addition, her unrestrained gall is part of the extreme anti-business climate driving the city and state into the ditch.
Bringing the case after her public attacks and threats represent a clear abuse of office that state courts should have blocked.
It’s an abuse she reinforces with her unusual and unprofessional appearances in the courtroom and her mini press conferences at the end of the day.
Monday she told reporters Trump’s testimony was full of “distractions” and “insults” and added the “documentary evidence” shows he “falsely inflated his assets to basically enrich himself and his family.”
The shame of NY
With her conduct, James has put New York’s criminal justice system itself on trial.
Even before the final outcome, the state is obviously guilty of producing a sham spectacle.
From the start, the case has reinforced a suspicion it is rigged.
Beyond James’ conflict of interest, it features a bizarre process where there is no jury and the judge, Arthur F. Engoron, quickly ruled that Trump and the other defendants were guilty, creating the impression of verdict first, trial second.
The same judge now presides over the penalty phase, and also gets to decide the punishment, which could be dramatic.
Trump could be stripped of his business certificates and a receiver appointed to run the company and even sell some of the world-famous properties.
They include Trump Tower, 40 Wall St., Trump Park Avenue and country clubs in Westchester and the Hudson Valley.
Engoron, who initially seemed intimidated by the attention, now seems to enjoy the spotlight and relishes trading insults with Trump and his lawyers.
“No speeches,” he scolded the former president Monday as Trump vented about the unfairness.
Later, the judge told Trump’s lawyers to “control your client,” adding “This is not a political rally.”
He’s right — it’s a political trial, not a rally.
Engoron has fined Trump $15,000 for twice violating an odd gag order that said the former president could not comment publicly on the judge’s court clerk and other staff.
The case, one of five brought against Trump by state and federal prosecutors, all Democrats, is the first to reach the trial stage and the political collisions only get worse from here.

‘It’s a train wreck’: Millions of Aussies doomed by the latest rate hike, now spending more than they earn
Millions of Australians are now spending more than they earn thanks to the RBA’s rapid run of rate hikes, and some areas are especially struggling.
Half of all mortgaged households in New South Wales have negative cashflows, with the so-called ‘mortgage belt’ in Sydney’s west being hit particularly hard.
The DFA data indicates another 200,000 households across the country were plunged into the red yesterday as a result of the RBA’s decision.
“How are they managing? They’re eating into savings, living off credit, cutting down on other essentials, ignoring bills that do not result in the loss of basic utilities, and relying on food banks,” Mr Samaras said.
He described the unfolding situation as a “trainwreck”.
“They’re unable to keep up with repayments, including bills, with income alone,” Mr Samaras said. “It’s hard to see how these Australians are contributing to inflation.”

Optus CEO slammed for holding photoshoot at home amid networks nationwide outage
Sky News Australia contributor Steve Price has slammed Optus CEO Kelly Bayer Rosmarin’s decision to proceed with a photoshoot at her Vaucluse mansion amid the networks nationwide outage.
The photoshoot was staged for the architect who renovated their Vaucluse home.
“Talk about karma coming to get you,” he told Sky News host Sharri Markson.
“The timing couldn’t be worse.
“No one begrudges the fact they have a nice house in Vaucluse but the fact that they let that photoshoot go ahead was again a PR disaster.”
Does it? Look, I was out of Oz for about 5 years starting from the late 2000s, so I definitely can’t speak for those years. However, since returning, I cannot recall a time when all of the services of a major telco went down across the entire country for 12 hours. That is a massive, massive f*ckup.
It’s on the level of the SA statewide power outage.
I wanted to downgrade my Optus plan because I have a massive data allowance that I no longer use, but their skinny deal is only available to new customers. What I can switch to means I save $10/month whilst losing most of my data. Could switch to Vodafone and save a packet. Optus relies on customer inertia, and I guess they’re correct in doing so (at least in my case) because I’ve said I’ll go for ages.
In fact, I’ve been meaning to switch to Telstra for awhile now because, whilst more expensive, their network is manifestly better with fewer blackspots…and they haven’t just randomly collapsed for 12 hours like some carrier in Mogadishu. This might just be the impetus to say bye to Optus.
Oh come on

Honest Reporting is a pro-israel group so the Hamas supporters are poo pooing it.

No doubt if this is true they’ll be posting to their YouTube & Rumble channels at some stage.

Pretty much sums up everything wrong with Australia right now.
I just want to clear something up. Since yesterday we’ve been so lucky, our resident Jew hating, pervert apologist Nazi has come out of his hiding place and written his usual litany of lies but amongst all the lies he wrote the following…
Thousands of civilian deaths from indiscriminate bombing.
There is NO indiscriminate bombing by Israel. If there was, Gaza would already be flattened. But there IS indiscriminate bombing by Gaza, shooting its rockets indiscriminately into Israel, including targeting the hospital in Ashkelon more than once with a rocket, and of course on 7 October of this year, Hamas terrorists invaded southern Israel, and went on a pogrom of INDISCRIMATE rape and slaughter.
Perhaps our Jew hating, pervert apologist Nazi should be more “discriminate” with the words his chooses to write on this blog, and if he can’t…or won’t, here’s a thought, he should piss off back into his hiding place.
Summary from Baris on the elections in the US.

Considering the claims, I can understand why people will want to triple check it before it really goes viral.

Well he is being discriminate Cassie. This is what he truly believes. Diametrically opposite to any semblance of rational thought. In other words, a true arsehole.

We can’t turn blind eye to extremist, anti-Semitic hate at home
By ZAINA CHEEMA
I was raised a devout Muslim. At university I joined student marches chanting ‘from the river to the sea’. Now I truly understand the malevolent nature of anti-Semitism – and we need to stand up against it.
I am a doctor, human rights advocate and secular Australian woman who has spent many years in the Muslim community.
My partner is Jewish, and in my professional life I consult both Muslim and Jewish patients almost daily. Growing up a devout Muslim, I spent years attending mosques and Islamic community centres across Sydney. I studied sharia law, memorised the Koran, performed the hajj pilgrimage to Mecca and wore a hijab from the age of 12 to 29.
I recently travelled to Israel, a country I once denounced as a colonial apartheid state. At university I joined student marches chanting “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free”. I recall during one of those marches we arrived at the Israeli embassy. People were shouting “shame”. I felt a knot in my stomach, something about the energy of the crowd had grown hateful.
But it’s only now, since the October 7 attacks, that I understand what that intuitive gut feeling meant: there is an additional malevolence in today’s anti-Semitism. It comes in the form of hatred towards Israel.
For decades secular Muslims have been forced out of Muslim communities for their divergent views and irreligious lifestyle. This has led to communities becoming more insular over time, where hardline and intolerant rhetoric creates a culture of exclusionism, racism, misogyny, homophobia and anti-Semitism.
We have seen the rise of Islamic extremism across the globe and Australia is in no way safe from that threat. In our society there are hateful men brainwashing their communities to murder civilians based on their religion and oppose the core values that make Australia an incredible country.
Multiculturalism is worth fighting for and the fight has arrived.
Debate has been ignited across the nation following the hateful comments of brainwashed cleric “Brother Ismail”, who said: “The flag of ISIS and al-Qa’ida is the flag of the Muslim community.” Yet another cleric from the Al Madinah Dawah Centre, Abu Ousayd, also known as Wissam Haddad, has now posted a video denigrating Jews and justifying the impending end-times murder of Jews by Muslims quoting a religious prophecy.
There is no place in Australia for these extremist views or this version of Islam. Given the Al Madinah Dawah Centre’s support for terrorism and anti-Semitism, there must be an immediate suspension of activities and events there along with a review of all personnel affiliated with the organisation. The comments that emerged from the centre should bring a sense of shame to Muslims.
I remember when I was a practising Muslim, whenever I heard hate speech such as this reported in the media it filled me with shame and anxiety. I internalised the negativity and the Islamophobia directed at me.
I did not feel empowered to speak up then; I did not have a voice then. But today I do and I want to use it to call out what I see as extremist and incendiary behaviour that runs counter to the national interest.
Since October 7 there has been a deafening silence across much of Australia’s Muslim community. Only a few have condemned Hamas. In my view this highlights the dangerous rise of political and radical Islam. The Lebanese Muslim Association and patrons of the Lakemba mosque in southwestern Sydney, some of the most influential Muslim organisations in this country, have not condemned Hamas. We must ask why.
The NSW Legislative Assembly member for Bankstown, Jihad Dib, who represents a suburb in Sydney with a significant Muslim community, gave a heartfelt and compassionate speech to the state parliament that should set the tone for our religious leaders to follow.
Sheik Ibrahim Dadoun, a mainstream preacher and key member of United Muslims of Australia, stoked raucous crowds with a tone of elation and celebration following the murderous actions of Hamas. He holds four degrees and was, until recently, PR director at the Australian National Imams Council. This man’s words and actions cannot be ignored and must be denounced from across the Muslim community. They cannot be allowed to go unanswered; these communities must have the courage to stand against hate, not hide behind claims of “armed resistance”.
Hamas has been denounced by leading Islamic authorities, including the internationally recognised Islamic Fatwa Council. This alone should make clear to Muslims there is no place for Hamas apologists.
Jihadist groups prey on Australian religious communities. Their game is simple: to isolate vulnerable individuals from the wider community, radicalise them and then use them to further their own political agendas. It’s worth exploring their sources of funding. It’s also vital these extremists feel the full weight of the law, and law enforcement works to update our counter-terrorism laws to prevent this type of violent hate culture and civil unrest in Australia.
I do not agree, however, with the deportation of religious extremists. These jihadists must be studied and deradicalised if we are to deal strategically with the broader risk of extremism and security. Many former radicals, including “son of Hamas” Mosab Hassan Yousef, have become the greatest activists against extremist Islam. Yousef’s father, Sheikh Hassan Yousef, was a co-founder of Hamas.
In medicine we know all diseases must be treated at their core; bandages only stop the bleeding. It gets you out of the intensive care unit but not out of hospital. Exporting the problem only risks delivering it to a population more susceptible to radicalisation, only to have them return to our doorstep once again.
This has been a recurrent issue across Europe. Our Muslim youth, who often feel caught between Australian values and what’s being preached to them, must know they are Australian. They must know they were born here, that they’re part of the fabric of our country and that they are loved. We must not allow fanatical clerics to convince them otherwise.
Our Jewish community must also know they are supported, especially as the general atmosphere of anti-Semitism continues to rise. We must come together to root out fringe clerics, expose them for who and what they truly are – so our multicultural country is never divided.”
I think most urban Green voters would be supportive the stunt walk-out.
Which says a lot.
If someone from the NYT was there on the 7th Oct, it’s all over.
For them.
That entire organisation.
“The antics are an indictment on the 11 senators and reflect poorly on their voter base; if you support that type of infantile, irrational, anti-Australian behaviour then you’ve been failed by the education system, the culture, your parents, or perhaps all of the above.”
If this continues and grows we will go down the same doomed path as the USA.
Too many bad actors in too many positions of power. When the majority of the media are corrupt, it opens the doors for corruption in politics and the legal system. The fraudulent cases against Trump prove that America is all but over.
Speaking of greens…

The “acceptable to punch a Naz!” statement.
The “you lot”.
The vax mandate and lockdown urging.
The tacit approval of violence to women.
etc, etc.
Then the drenched with post modern relativism idiot, who would think it’s up for interpretation as to whether black is black and not white, asks the following question – “Hey Cranky: do you condemn Israel’s widespread and systematic killing of innocent children in Palestine?
Simple yes or no question.”
At the core of this question is the equivalence between hamas and Israel, or at least trying to draw one.

“You are not condemning Israel. You refuse to call for an immediate ceasefire.
“Weasel words are not going to stop war crimes. Today, we bring the people’s protest into parliament. Free, free Palestine!”

So, Tommy Robinson and his supporters plan to gather on Armistice Day. Good on them, I like Tommy, he’s a working class lad from Luton. However, there are already the usual screeches about this planned gathering, from the usual far-left UK organisations such as “Hope not Hate”, an organisation that is curiously very selective about which hate it monitors and condemns. Ho hum. And watch the dhimmi London Plod either arrest and charge Robinson and his supporters, or move them along, to keep the peace………………………LOL.
Meanwhile, further to peace, or that should be “pieces”, “kill the Jews”, “gas the Jews”, and “jihad against the Jews” will of course be shouted with gay abandon on Armistice Day, and this speech will get a free pass from the dhimmi London plod, who’ll stand back and do nothing.
Dhimmi world, it’s here.
And notice something else, whenever anti-Semitism is brought up, “Islamophobia” is mentioned. Last night Sharri Markson had that all round turd, the member for Parramatta, Andrew Charlton, on her programme. Charlton is the ‘local member’ (cough, cough) who resides in the 20 million dollar house in Bellevue Hill (last I heard the wife and kids are still living in the Bellevue Hill house), who feigns living in Parramatta….yeah you gotta laugh, only an ALP hack could get away with this hypocrisy. Anyway, when asked about Jew hatred, apart from the fact that I found his his oddly milquetoast in his condemnation of Jew hatred, Charlton then quickly brings up the obligatory “Islamophobia”. You see folks, there’s the gas lighting right there, any mention of Jew hatred is going to be countenanced with “Islamophobia” which is all a deflection, very deliberate, until the day comes when a Jewish school is attacked, a synagogue is attacked, and until Jews are attacked on the street…oh wait that’s already happening but when asked about it, Charlton brings up “Islamophobia”. And when there’s a major attack against Jews, and those attackers are found not to be far-right skinheads, no, no, no, but Muslims, will that verminous hypocrite Charlton and his Labor comrades will still rant on about “Islamophobia”, to deflect from the very real Jew hatred in the Muslim community? Oh yes they will.

Well yes…. when I see Islamists preach the extermination of some sections of the population & when I see them be heading their opponents in the Middle East ….I certainly fear the rise of Islamic extremism in this country.
So many pollies & others mouth platitudes like Islamophobia without thinking about it. For the same reason the term Anti- Semitism is a term that describes something real & threatening.

She is now just a figurehead until the Board can find another one though I don’t think anyone wants the job in the middle of a catastrophe.

Blanchett urges stand against ‘dangerous migrant myths’
The EU must lead the way in rejecting “dangerous myths” fuelling a rise in hardline anti-migration policies as the world grapples with mass displacements, actress and UNHCR Goodwill Ambassador Cate Blanchett said.
The call was all the more urgent given the deadly war in Gaza, where Israel is conducting intensive bombardments in retaliation for Hamas’s October 7 attack on Israeli communities, Blanchett told the European Parliament in Brussels.
“The conflict has claimed, and is still claiming thousands of innocent lives,” she said, reiterating a UNHCR plea for “an immediate humanitarian ceasefire and the immediate release of all civilians held hostage”.
While that conflict dominated the news, violence, political turmoil and repression around the globe has resulted in 114 million people being forcibly displaced, she said.
While around half were uprooted within their own countries, 36.4 million were forced abroad to seek refuge, most of them to neighbouring countries, she said.
Blanchett expressed concern over a stoking of “fear and hostility that each and every refugee is headed here in Europe” a misconception she said had prompted some governments to claim the 1951 Refugee Convention was outdated and ill-suited to address the challenge.
“I urge each and every one of you here today to stand firm in challenging the dangerous myths peddled far too widely,” she told the full chamber of the European Parliament.
“The 1951 convention is a landmark human rights instrument that is not only still relevant but foundational to our common humanity,” she said.
Blanchett emphasised that, as UNHCR Goodwill Ambassador, she was a “witness” to the cost of war on human lives, and she recounted meetings she had with several refugees, many who had no choice but to move abroad for sanctuary.
“Imagine just for a moment your own sons and daughters, your own children and grandchildren, in the same situation. Then perhaps you can understand that walls, barbed wire, pushbacks are no answer,” she said.
“You have to understand that no one puts their children in a boat unless water is safer than the land.”
The Australian actress said she felt “shame and regret” over her country’s hardline policies that for years has seen asylum-seekers sent to detention centres in Papua New Guinea and Nauru and barred from settling in Australia.
She did not point the finger at any EU countries though some, including Italy, Hungary and Poland are toughening their stances against refugees. Former EU member Britain has also made cracking down on “small boats” carrying asylum-seekers a priority.
UNHCR, Blanchett said, was in dire need of funding to carry out its mandate of protecting and assisting refugees.
“Humanitarian work needs resources. UNHCR alone urgently needs $600 million before the end of the year,” she said. -AFP

Phobia is an irrational fear of something, taking people at their word is not irrational.
Correct! – and I would add ‘always film the police’ – I am sure it kept me out of jail at least once in the last several years, and possibly more. In addition to proving the AFP lied about my ‘traffic incident’ in Canberra last year, I think it also saved me from being set up during a ‘routine firearms check’ last year also. Said ‘routine check’ involved 4 police attending in 2 cars including a utility (all the better to seize your guns sir). All proceeded uneventfully but when I reviewed my hidden CCTV vision later, I discovered that, half way through, when my back was turned, one of said popo spotted my hidden camera. His response – he looked like a busted shoplifter, took a sharp intake of breath, stepped back, then hurriedly pointed it out to the 3 other cops.
Why were they shocked to find security cameras watching a gunsafe? What were they planning. What did I abort by having the cameras?
Take home message for gun owners and any citizens – always film the police!

Yesterday I was on utube watching the development of future weapons being developed for the Austrian corporal. It featured a smal clip of the Nuremberg rallies. For some reason which I’d never really thought about was not there are maniacs bent on power or just straight up looneys. They are in all walks of life but of the mass of people that go along with them. The looneys are not actually the problem but follower’s. The likes of the Hitlers, Stalins and Maos can be eliminated but are not due to being protected by the supporters wanting their tiny bit of the action. Not necessarily physically but emotionally as well. The events of covid showed us the supporters of the Nuremberg rallies live next door and are our relatives. On this blog we’ve seen mutley and friends make excuses for humus, what is in it for them? Is it just trolling, mutley isn’t bright enough, long held belief, probably not as the left doesn’t appear to have any beliefs coz it just onto the next thing and if it contradicts previous belief. No it is change for change sake. Would they be making the same excuses if it were their families. We all know the answer.
Zelensky is the War Criminal
“I do not care about those claiming Ukraine is fighting for freedom. They had their freedom; they are denying that to the Donbas, where the Mink Agreement was to let them vote on their independence from Ukraine. Ukrainian Nazis were never prosecuted for their involvement BECAUSE they killed not just Jews and Polish, but also Russians. That is why the CIA protected the Ukrainian Nazis.
Back in 2013, I warned that Ukraine was the place where everything would begin. Our computer targeted Ukraine for where this would begin. From the outset, my position was that Ukraine should have been split according to language. Politicians have drawn borders, and this policy has given us so many problems over the years. It is language and culture that should define a national border. It is also wrong for the refugees to enter Sweden and then refuse to adopt the culture of that nation, demanding their own laws will apply in specific regions. This is not like colonizing the Moon.
The Ukrainians are fighting for the territory that was never theirs. They want Russia out, along with all other minorities they hate and do not trust. Make no mistake about it: if Russia loses, the Ukrainians will massacre all Russians in the Donbas territory. The West ignores the fact that the Ukrainians carried out a massacre of ethnic Russians who lived in Odessa as soon as their 2014 Revolution, and that is what started this entire civil war that the Western Press will not address. Merkel admitted that the West NEVER negotiated in good faith and conceded that the West wanted this Civil War to kill Russians and never intended to allow them to vote or have peace.
The 2014 Massacre of Russian-speaking Ukrainians in Odessa, where they killed them grabbing them on the streets, was a Neo-Nazi event. That was the turning point. It revealed that the Donbas had to separate, for the Neo-Nazis wanted their death, not their submission. That began the civil war. They set fire to the building and burned all the Russian-speaking Ukrainians alive. For the first time in history, an organized massacre of civilians was carried out and even filmed by numerous people. This has been documented in extraordinary detail, and the Neo-Nazis did not even fear any negative consequences in world opinion.
If Ukraine ever got Crimea, you will see wholesale genocide worse than the Middle East. There, the civilians are not the direct target. In Ukraine, they were killing people for just being Russian. That is why the separatist movement began, and they armed themselves against the Ukrainians who attacked FIRST, starting the civil war on the order of the American Neocons. John McCain and Victoria Nuland were at Maidan, cheering them on and promising the USA would back them. Remember her leaked phone call when the EU objected: “FU-K the EU.”
John McCain, who was the leader of the pack of Neocons, was promoting Nuclear Power for climate change to end the US dependence on oil and that of Europe. McCain used climate change to cut off Russia, whose 50% of GDP was energy. Thus, McCain could care less about the climate. He used it as a weapon against Russia.
McCain hated Russians, and that was before Putin, as Politico documented back in 1996 – three years before Putin. McCain used climate change as a weapon to undermine Russia. The Neocons blew up the Nord Stream. This has been the objective for decades. We must understand that there are Neocons in America, Russia, and China. They may be small in number, but they tend to be very manipulative. What we have is the Climate Zealots who want to end all fossil fuels, where their goals support the Neocons who want to annihilate their enemies – Russia and China.
The 2014 Massacre of Russian-speaking Ukrainians in Odessa set in motion the separatist movement. The West is behind this atrocity because they hate Russians. Over 500,000 Ukrainian soldiers are now dead for what? Territory? The Donbas is overwhelmingly ethnically Russian. This is like Mexico demanding back California and Texas, and anyone who speaks English should be shot. This is ethnic cleansing, and the West is as guilty as every other such government throughout history. This is the legacy the West will be labeled with all because of a small group of Neocons who just hate Russians because they were once communists.
Zelensky is the war criminal for over 500,000 Ukrainian soldiers are dead. Over 8 million Ukrainians have fled, never to return. When the history books are written, Zelensky has betrayed his own people for a territorial grab when the Donbas has always been Russian. The Ukrainians have already demonstrated their hatred of Russia, and they will slaughter those people there as they have done from the outside in 2014 as soon as they gained independence. Anyone who thinks this will end with a whimper is insane. Ukrainians hate Russians – it’s in their blood. We employed staff in both Kiev and Donbas. They two would NEVER talk to each other. When the one from Kiev attended our conference in Greece, they refused to take the shortest route, which was a connection through Moscow. This is as deeply divisive as Sunni vs. Shia in the Middle East or Protestant vs Catholic in Britain still.
The real war criminals are those who order wars. Zelensky refuses peace. Even the Pope offered to mediate, and Zelensky refused. Zelensky constantly wants to address the American people, always asking for more and more money. The Republics finally said enough already. He sends 16-year-old boys to their deaths, all for land. Meanwhile, Ukraine was the richest agricultural land in all of Europe. We have dived deep into who suddenly is buying everything up, trying to hide their investments through fake local companies.”

None of the potential bad actors appear to feel any need to be indistinct. At some point society should perhaps believe they mean what they say, or urge – preferably before the event.
But carry on.
Definitely worth a look.
No sources, and some may be wishful thinking, but it covers all attack points.
the (grotesquely) hilarious thing now, is that Hamas is claiming they only went after soldiers, and it was the Gazan civilians who came through and perpetrated the horrors.

Indeed. My mum, pregnant with my Big Sis, was pushed down under a train seat while the train was being strafed as part of that raid. She was lucky to survive. My dad, a foreman in the Coventry car factories before the War, was pulled out of these at Rolls Royce to work on the Spitfire Merlin engines, in the massive production of planes that Churchill told Beaverbrook to get into motion – and bugger the niceties of class and education, pull out people who knew how to work on the inside of engines – hence my dad.

I read it long ago, while I was studying at tech for my Leaving Certificate when I was 20. We had a very good history teacher who knew a thug when she saw one. She told us to read it. There was also another one, with some dreadful photographs in it.
Never Again. I will say that now to CNN and AP.

“That Israeli Soldier is clearly a woman wearing fancy ladies leather boots.”
That “soldier” was Shani Louk, an Israeli-German visiting Israel. Her father Israeli, her mother German. Shani was one of the hundreds of young people who were attending the rave concert when Hamas terrorist scum glided in.
Further to “discriminate/indiscriminate, there was nothing “discriminate” in how the Hamas scum terrorised the attendees at that concert.
Shani was raped and decapitated. But as our resident Nazi would say, “legitimate grievances” and all of that.
Front page in Israel but not on The Australian. It should be though.
Israel, showing deep concern for civilian lives, protects refugees from Gaza City against Hamas bullets which are trying to stop the refugees leaving through a humanitarian corridoor opened up by Israel.
Hamas really does hate losing its human shields. What a despicable organisation.

Qatar has hosted a political office for Hamas for more than a decade, and has been one of the group’s principal backers.
The ruling Qataris are a fat and lazy tribe. They just pay for security, no doubt at cheap rates from Bengal. I am surprise the Israelis haven’t exterminated the Hamas leadership or spirited them back to Tel Aviv.
