This thread dedicated to Direct Energy Weapons and the BOM’s radar sites which aren’t really radar sites.
And Tartaria. Obviously.

WTF is Tataria which is mentioned all the time and what the hell are direct energy weapons? (lasers?)
Stop spamming the site Toad. Live by standards you expect of others.

I don’t have standards JC. I’m from Tartaria.
Now I’ll scroll by.
No, I won’t scroll by in the same way you haven’t with me. There were about 20 comments by you on the page 7. You need to live by your own standards or STFU. Dickhead.
Did you know KD that Cyclone Tracy was the smallest cyclone ever measured? Until one in 2008 somewhere defeated it. This isn’t about punch, it is about size.
You’re tempting me get out Direct Energy Weapons JC. From Tartaria of all places.
I might have to taunt you a second time!
My Lord, this has to be seen to be believed. This guy just body slammed Crooked Hillary on the mat.
Best video of 2023.
Toad. You couldn’t taunt Muddy without screwing it up. I doubt you could taunt me. If that’s your intent then, good luck trolling.
We need a Tartarian Voice To Parliament.
Anyone who doesn’t agree is an igorant shill for the MSM.
I thought it was Tataria, not Tartaria. I would go along with those chicks theory for a bit, if I got a look in. Same if any chicks into Flat Earth.
Never ever taunting of Muddy JC. Always enjoy reading his/her posts. Sometimes opinions differ – that’s the beauty of the Cat.
Yours are usually scroll past. Sometimes not.

Toad, just to digress, you chose the ugliest blog name I’ve ever seen on the Cat. I’m mean, seriously barking toad?
(That’s obviously another one with self esteem issues). You couldn’t go higher than barking toad? Okay.
Funny that, because I can’t ever recall you coming up with a thoughtful idea on any issue.
scroll 🙂
I gave you an uptick because I’m nice.
Seriously what with the “scroll” and then:
Are you drunk?
Barking Toad is a cool name. Been to the Dunmarra roadhouse in the NT at night time? Shit ton of them and they bark!
Cool? If barking road is cool, what’s ugly?
He complained I post too many times and then find out the barker has chimed in about the same on days post a lot. What a toad.
Young abbo chick I was riding the Greyhound with said “Way too many toads here, hey?”
Sure was. Like a stampede of them. Many were barking.
Zafiro, I hope you’re not taunting JC. That wouldn’t be fair 🙂
Nah, sort of. True story, Toad.
That’s another scroll, right Toad?
Look, you’re either going to scroll or you’re not.
By the way, I think he was taunting you, with the reference to those critters being real barkers.
Next stop was Big BP roadhouse at Tennant Creek at midnight. Maaaaate! Put that on your bucket list.
Anyway, don’t annoy Muddy. He’s too precious and fragile for a scroller like you to be taunting and getting him all hot under the collar with deadheaded comments.

Good work Premier Phuckface and now the understudy. Can also trace back to Christine “I Had To Eat” Nixon. Lax policing standards have allowed bad actors to be emboldened.
Ms Allen said the other day about standing with Israel. Well show some guts darling. Instead of dropping the ‘Islamophobia’ turd into the discussion.
Xi got the Solomons and didn’t have to do a princey dance.
If Australia’s diplomats weren’t too busy sucking each others dicks to get posting to Europe & the US, they would have spent a lot more time building our own string of pearls through Asia & the Pacific.
When China turns up with the money, it’s too late for Australia to put on the short dress & lippy and expect these pacific nations to care.
Don’t get me wrong, they love whatever aid Australia offers.
They’ll take it.
Then China gives them 10x.
Allen is a typical example of the garbage that is the political class.
And Vikki Campion writes on phuckwittery writ large and bold and flourescent, like Dirk Diggler announcing his screen name:
Ms Campion it’s a great column. Details the complete and utter morons who hold no regard for those who spilled blood to make us safe.
But Mr Joyce did sign on to have Australia as Net Zero, which of course will never happen despite all the warm, fuzzy barking by Bowen and associated flogs.
So desecration of memorials like this will be more often. Terrible state of affairs.
Next time Paul Murray looks down the camera & says “we back The Blue”, remember the NSW Plod & Vic Plod’s behaviour since Oct 7th.
And where are the whistleblowers from both organisations?
The orders to treat the Hamas supporters with kid gloves can not possibly be all verbal.
How hard is it to screen shot something & share it?
And of course on this day:
lots of discussion around the shooting at people trying to leave Al nasr hospital compound.
Idf aren’t in the area and those who can differentiate say it was AK 47s, used by hamas.
If al nasr wasn’t an hamas nest, and if the idf noose wasn’t tightening normal civilians would stay, right?
What does Monty think.
The wind ‘farm’ abominations and all the free passes they get makes think all the environmental hand wringing and restrictions of the last 50 years was just to sabotage the real economy.
Seems political office in western ‘democracies’ is only open to effete, entitled cretins

@RetsefL
This is the reality that MIT President wants to hide. A letter from Israeli & Jewish MIT students:
To all students at MIT,
Today, Jewish and Israeli MIT students were physically prevented from attending class by a hostile group of pro-Hamas and anti-Israel MIT students that call themselves the CAA.
This is after students from the CAA harassed MIT staff members in their offices for being Jewish and interrupted classes in the past few weeks. All of this has occurred with no clear response from the administration. With each passing day, MIT admin’s silence makes Jewish and Israeli students feel unsafe at MIT.
Many Jewish students fear leaving their dorm rooms and have stated that they feel MIT is not safe for Jews. This message is compounded by the public and private warnings of Hillel and many faculty that Jewish students should not enter MIT’s main lobby today, November 9th, 2023.
Instead of dispersing the mob or de-escalating the situation by rerouting all students from Lobby 7, Jewish students specifically were warned not to enter MIT’s front entrance due to a risk to their physical safety. The onus to protect Jewish students should not be on the students themselves.
MIT administration recently announced guidelines to avoid illegal and unsafe protests on campus. The CAA, which planned the protest, knowingly and proudly violated these requirements, and even invited people from outside of MIT to join them. Their actions inhibit the possibility of safe and peaceful dialogue and endanger Jewish students on campus.
The CAA hosted a blockade that not only disregards MIT guidelines, but also obstructs Jewish students from attending classes.
Some Jewish students who saw the administration’s failure to respond to the targeted harassment of Jews on campus by the CAA came together to support each other and peacefully together stand against this threat to their safety.
Four hours after the blockade started, at 12 pm, the MIT administration passed a letter to all students, threatening their suspension if the crowds did not disperse from Lobby 7. Only the Jewish students left immediately. The CAA protesters did not cooperate. Indeed, the CAA proceeded to invite more students and non-MIT protestors to join them in calling for a violent uprising (“Intifada”) and justifying the terror attacks of Hamas on Israeli civilians.
At 5 pm, all students on campus were warned through MIT’s emergency notification system to “avoid Lobby 7” –– officially recognizing the danger present to students as a result of this violent protest. No Jewish or Israeli students were present at this point.
As of 10:30 tonight MIT has officially decided not to academically suspend CAA students who repeatedly violated the administration’s guidelines and threats. They have shown that actions against Jews at MIT do not have consequences. Additionally, in an email to DUSP students, the Department Head indicated that he would protect any DUSP students involved in violating MIT’s rules today by protesting with the CAA. Not only do Jewish students feel unsafe on campus, but now they also feel excluded from and unsafe in DUSP.
Today, on the 9th of November, on the 85th anniversary of Kristallnacht, which marked the beginning of the Holocaust, Jews at MIT were told to enter campus from back entrances and not to stay in Hillel for fear of their physical safety.
We are seeing history repeating itself and Jews on MIT’s campus are afraid.
Signed,
The MIT Israel Alliance and its supporters

If a technology needs subsidies decades after inception then it will always need subsidies. Just take agriculture here and in Europe, we can do it cheap and on a grand scale but Europeans, mostly the French, need subsidies to compete with us, the US and Canada because in Europe it’s not about technology or farming but politics and ideology.
The drive to dive out cheap energy is not about science or global warming but politics and ideology. It is anti-human and anti-humanistic, it aims to strip us of well-being and culture that has enriched us for centuries.

I personally don’t believe that humans have a lot to do with climate variations, when a single volcano can emit ten times the amount of gasses in one eruption than we blame humans for doing it, but my relatives in France are saying that for the last 10 or so years or more the winters were exceptionally mild.
Summers remained nearly the same.
No water but everyone seems to be getting their washing done.
100% correct. The last thing they care about is the environment. Remember when they changed coal fired stations in England to wood chip or pellets and then clear felled large swarths of Canada and transported it across instead of digging coal straight out of the ground next door? All for “climate change”? What do you think that did to the environment? How many trees were felled, creatures were killed and energy was used for that little brainstorm?

In the last few years alone, the FBI got caught:
• Covering up Hunter Biden’s laptop full of espionage crimes on Biden and lying about it being “Russian disinfo” right before an election.
• Set up election protestors using un-indicted co-conspirators like Ray Epps and whoever laid the pipe bomb they refuse to investigate on J6, to punish citizens from ever complaining about shady ass elections again.
• Framed a mentally ill man that referred to himself as “Captain Autism” for the fake kidnapping of Governor Whitmer that the FBI basically planned itself.
• Poorly covered up the Las Vegas shooting and to this day refuses FOIA requests to solve the murder of 58 people that everyone in Vegas knows was the government itself, and not some old man using some mythical bumpstock that never jams while witnesses report seeing and hearing other gunmen throughout the night.
• They’ve also let…shit I don’t even know at this point, dozens of mass shooters “already previously known to authorities” just “slip” through their fingers over and over again…as well as never explaining who supplied all these angry teenagers working part time and living at home with tens of thousands of dollars in gear.
But none of that matters…because after declaring honest citizens, Patriot grandmas, veterans, and concerned parents as the real “Enemy of the State” instead of looking for actual terrorists that are literally walking over our border…Congress members actually voted “yes” to reward the FBI with a $300 million brand dollar new office for no reason, when the entire agency should be dissolved instead.
Every single Congress member no matter the party that voted for this…is a Deep State controlled pawn, change my mind.

I still can’t get over the fact that the FBI spied on the GOP nominee for President in 2016, then again when he took office, tried to overthrow him, and are now trying to throw him in prison, and the Republicans voted to give them a new headquarters. What a worthless party.
The other dynamic is fun. They had been happy to let their useful idiot progressive allies run with their weird fetishes, but as the Muslims get a feeling of strength that seems to be changing.

Lol – this is what happens when you complain about illegals to the Nazi Biden regime.
Those of us who have been on the receiving end of their up-the-chain gutless ‘superiors’ ducking for cover over incidents like this would, I’m sure, be unsurprised.
Gabor – that is the result of the mild temperatures in the Atlantic linked to the thermohaline cycle. The Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation metric is pretty clear – it has a cycle period of about 60-65 years and we’ve been bumping along the top of the current peak. You can see what happens when the cycle turns. The period in the mid seventies was the New Ice Age scare. The previous peak was the Dust Bowl and the peak before that was the Federation Drought.

We haven’t had a recession — which had been a concern 12 months ago.

Similarly, the labour market has been holding up: absorbing the migrants whose arrival has helped keep the economy ticking over as well as generating enough jobs so that people being financially squeezed can get second jobs to help keep them afloat.
The only reason we arent in a recession is the mass importation of 500,000+ new consumption units all borrowing and spending away.
Quite how long they can keep “juicing” the stats like this without the wheels coming off is up to debate.

It’s very hard for me and other Jews not to be pessimistic about Jewish life in this country, or anywhere in the West, after what ensued in Caulfield last night. I know Caulfield well, very well. The prognosis is not good. As I’ve said and written since 7 October, the protests in this country, in fact across the West, are not ‘pro-Palestinian’ rallies, NO, NO, NO, they are anti-Israel and Jew hating rallies.
A Shabbat service at a synagogue in Caulfield South has been cancelled after pro-Palestinian protesters stormed a local park following an attack on a Muslim-owned restaurant.
Burgertory store in Caulfield gutted by fire after owner attends pro-Palestine rally
A Shabbat service at a synagogue in Caulfield South has been cancelled after pro-Palestinian protesters stormed a local park following an attack on a Muslim-owned restaurant.
Pro-Palestinian protesters were pepper sprayed in a chaotic clash with police outside a Caulfield synagogue on Friday night just hours after a Muslim-owned burger store was set alight.
A nasty clash occurred in Princes Park on Friday night after a Caulfield South synagogue was evacuated as hundreds of pro-Palestinian protesters stormed a park across the road.
Dozens of attendees were forced out of their Shabbat service about 7:30pm on Friday night after protesters, draped in Palestinian flags and chanting “free, free Palestine”, gathered outside the synagogue.
Footage obtained by the Herald Sun shows protesters clashing with police as they streamed onto Hawthorn Rd following what had started as a mostly peaceful protest in Princes Park.
Dozens of locals, some dressed in Israeli flags, could be heard yelling at the protesters.
Rocks were allegedly thrown from some members of protest, with police forced to use pepper spray to separate the two groups.
The Herald Sun understands at least one person was arrested after breaking through a line of officers.
Victoria Police said in a statement there were about 200 people in each of the two groups demonstrating at the rally in the vicinity of Princes Park in Caulfield South on 10 November.
“There were no major incidents of note. The was one man sprayed with OC spray and removed from the area under breach of the peace provisions and one man has reported receiving minor injuries after being hit by a rock. Police will investigate both incidents further and will review CCTV and vision from the event to detect any other offences,” the statement said.
“Our top priority was keeping the peace to ensure the event did not impact the safety of the broader community. We will continue to retain communication with all communities which have a strong interest in events unfolding in the Middle East.”
Local resident Keith, 80, said: “The whole thing is disgusting. It achieves absolutely nothing. It’s not going to solve anything.”
Jayden David, who lives nearby, said he was shocked to see hundreds of protesters flood his local park, outside the Synagogue his family attends.
“It’s quite aggressive to come to a known Jewish area on Shabbat to protest like this,” he said.
Former federal Labor MP for Melbourne Ports, now known as Macnamara, Michael Danby slammed the handling of the protest as “outrageous”.
“It was outrageous this demonstration was allowed to take place tonight in a small park directly opposite the synagogue in Maple St, Caulfield,” he told the Herald Sun.
“Worse on advice from Vic Pol. The rabbis and the congregants have had to abandon regular Friday night Shabbat service and were sent home for their own safety.
“Many Australians will wonder what this country is coming to.”
Premier Jacinta Allan on Friday night called for Victorians to “show each other love, care and support in these difficult times”.
“It is our diversity that makes us great, and our compassion that unites us – there is never any place for antisemitism or Islamophobia in Victoria,” she said.
Local residents who did not wish to be named due to fears of repercussions described it as “atrocious.”
“We are so sick of the Palestinians inciting violence. Shabbat prayers were cancelled due to safety concerns.
“People should be able to pray in peace,” he said angrily.
Local rabbi, Rabbi Noam Sendor, in a letter to his congregation on Friday afternoon, advised members to “remain calm, determined and vigilant and to continue to stand up against darkness” if they are confronted with threats or violence.
“As you may very well be aware, there is heightened tension in the area of our Shul in the aftermath of the fire on the corner of Hawthorn and Glenhuntly,” he said.
“We are aware that this evening at 7pm there is a planned protest outside Burgertory.
“Certainly we suggest that people avoid the area tonight to and from Shul and remain hyper-vigilant for anything or anyone suspicious.”
Rabbi Noam advised that Shabbat proceedings were set to continue despite the threat, assuring that police would be present in the area.
“We have been in touch with CSG and at this point there is no directive to change the schedule for Shabbat and things should proceed as usual,” he said.
Members of the Shul have been asked to report anything suspicious, to “remain calm, determined and vigilant and to continue to stand up against darkness and hate through observance of Torah and service of Hashem”.
A group of about 100 Israelis gathered near the burnt Burgertory store in show of solidarity and support.
Angelo, 53, said: “We’re here to show support for Israel.”
“I have no issue with them coming here, but all they want to do is cause trouble,” he said.
Hana, 50, said: “We want to go to Shabbat dinner. We missed the Shabbat candlelight and we’re meant to be home by now but if we don’t do this, who will?
“We live in the area, they (the Palestinians) don’t – they’ve just come here to cause trouble,” she said.
Cars driving passed with Palestinian occupants hurled abuse at each other with one passenger spitting at the group and yelling out, “Sharmootas”.
Tensions between the two faith communities reached boiling point on Friday after news spread that the popular burger restaurant went up in flames overnight.
In a shocking video posted online on Friday, a man filming the gutted shop front can be heard making fun of children killed in Gaza.
“Oh something smells burnt. I don’t know if that’s the cooking or the smell of burnt children in Gaza,” he said.
“Burn in hell.”
Victoria Police said the blaze was being treated as suspicious but have flagged that is unlikely to have been racially motivated.
The fire comes just one week after restaurant owner Hash Tayeh came under fire for attending a pro-Palestine march where he was captured in a video chanting “from the river to the sea”, which is widely recognised as a call for the destruction of Israel.
The Caulfield store is nestled in the heart of the Melbourne Jewish community, leading to fierce backlash from locals.
Tensions escalated outside the burnt-out store on Friday afternoon, with police having to intervene after two groups got into a scuffle.
It’s understood a pro-Palestinian group marched from Monash University in Caulfield to the store, where officers were forced to separate the groups.
Police detained several people outside the store to “keep the peace”.
“Police responded to reports of people clashing in Caulfield on 10 November,” a Victoria Police spokeswoman said.
“It’s believed a verbal altercation took place between around 15 people on Glen Huntly Road just after 2.30pm.
“A number of people were detained briefly in an effort to keep the peace. One female was arrested briefly for failing to provide identification.
“No one was injured during the incident.
“Police will maintain a presence in the area for community safety and to prevent any breaches of the peace.”
The Melbourne-based businessman, who owns the fast-food chain across Melbourne, posted an open letter to the city’s Jewish community last week after vision emerged of him at the rally.
“I write to address the troubling rumors (sic) that have been circulating about myself, suggesting that I hold anti-Semitic sentiments due to my attendance at pro-Palestinian rallies,” he wrote.
“I want to make it abundantly clear that these rumors (sic) are unfounded and far from the truth.”
Mr Tayeh said dozens of his family members had been killed in the conflict.
“I’ve had 38 family members killed and 2 orphans I’ve been sponsoring for the last five years aged seven and nine both killed,” he wrote.
Days after the vision emerged, the burger joint was flooded with negative reviews online, with one disgruntled customer calling for the Caulfield store to be “boycotted”.
“Disgusted to see the CEO of this company being caught out calling for (the) death of Jews today,” the review read.
“You’ve lost many Jewish customers, and your store in Caulfield will be boycotted.”
Victoria Police Inspector Scott Dwyer said the force were treating Friday’s blaze as a “stand-alone” incident and cautioned those making assumptions on who may have caused the fire.
Insp Dwyer failed to say whether there were any suspects.
“I’d like to point out, at this stage, there is nothing to indicate that this incident is related to any religious or political involvement,” he said.
“I am confident that this is not religiously or politically motivated.
“This incident, again, is a criminal act, it’s a suspicious fire that’s been linked, I would warn people not to make assumptions or draw lines of inquiry that aren’t there between this incident and anything else that is occurring.
“We are treating this as a stand-alone incident, and I would encourage the community to treat it as such.”
Early last week, the Burgertory store on Sydney Rd in Coburg North proudly flew two Palestinian flags above the shop.
In social media comments attached to the video of the Palestinian flags, a friend of Mr Tayeh’s compared the Israeli government to the Nazis, posting an image with a swastika at the centre of a Star of David.
“Thank you for all your support over the last week brother,” Mr Tayeh said, before his friend fired the image into the comment section.
Dr Dvir Abramovich, Chair of the Anti-Defamation Commission, said he was concerned the “chilling explosion of violence” would “turn deadly”.
“Something very wrong is happening in the city I love,” he told the Herald Sun.
“This deliberate and terrifying outburst of antisemitism and intimidation that took place in the heart of the Jewish community is a warning sign that things are spiralling out of control and that we should all be worried.
“People who are visibly Jewish and businesses are being targeted and harassed at levels never seen before, and I am concerned that this will turn deadly.”
Caulfield MP David Southwick said he acknowledged there were “tensions” in his community in the wake of the fire
“Many are concerned about the fire at Caulfield South Burgertory early this morning,” he said. “I know tensions are running high and people are feeling vulnerable, but we must remain calm and allow police to investigate.
“I will have more to say once VicPol provides an update.”
Burger shop owner responds after Palestine chant controversy
President of the Jewish Community Council of Victoria, who noted police had likely ruled out the attack being racial motivated, said “nothing justifies any form of violence”.
“We are aware that during the day on Friday there was also a physical altercation outside the takeaway shop,” he said.
“We deeply respect the right to free speech, and appreciate the ongoing work being done by Victoria Police to protect the community.”

Caulfield IS a Jewish area. This IS deliberate intimidation of Melbourne Jews. Here’s some facts, my side doesn’t engage in violence, my side doesn’t engage in hateful rhetoric, my side doesn’t engage in intimidation. Period. What happened last night is what happened in Germany in the 1930s.
Oh and shout out to Monty the Jew hater, who’s no doubt lurking here, did you rush to Caulfield to help your Jew hating mates last night, when they congregated to intimidate and threaten Jews? Or perhaps turning up to ‘intimidate and threaten ” Jews in a heavily Jewish suburb, outside a synagogue, on Shabbat, falls under your rather oblique description…..”legitimate grievances”.
And all of this was on the anniversary of Kristallnacht……which happened on the 9 and 10 November 1938.
In the USA gun ownership by Jews is soaring. You can see why.

Oh and as I predicted, Jacinta Allan is far worse the Dan Andrews.
Premier Jacinta Allan on Friday night called for Victorians to “show each other love, care and support in these difficult times”.
“It is our diversity that makes us great, and our compassion that unites us, there is never any place for antisemitism or Islamophobia in Victoria,” she said
Note the weasel words and gaslighting? There was zero ‘Islamophobia” in Caulfield last night, but there was a lot of Jew hatred in Caulfield last night.

I drafted many such responses during my time in the public service. If you are lucky, the minister’s chief of staff might have seen the letter, and the minister’s office might have received a copy of the response.
BB is correct, if there are multiple letters on the same subject, then a “form” response will be used.
No Worries –
Sometimes just knowing awful people feel bad all the time, because their heads are full of worms is consolation in itself.
Vagina (sand in it) Trolly has a sad.

“Wifedom making me very cranky!” I could actually hear her shouting.
I knew exactly why. The book had made me pretty cranky, too.
..
Now a ” its awful, i went on an extensive Euro holiday”…
I read Funder’s meticulous excavation of the patriarchal truths kept buried by 20th century literary criticism and biography while I was on holiday overseas. It was a long anticipated trip, and a trip solely planned and organised by me.
As is the case in many marriages, it’s the wife who is the travel agent, and I had spent months researching and booking hotels, worrying about plane times and connections, calibrating itineraries and schedules so that a series of train bookings lined up like Rockettes to get us to far-flung destinations.
I was very proud of myself. The trip was fabulous, if a bit exhausting for me.
…
Vagina has weavers hands….
I watched as the man and boy I loved, contentedly wake each morning, brush the sleep from their eyes and ask with delight what the plans were for the day. Their trip was laid out like a magic carpet for them, and no one noticed that my hands were red-raw from weaving it.
…
Crazy lady is crazy.
The wife is an enabler, and a bearer of the mental and even physical load in ways that make her work both crucial and unvalued, all while it is also completely invisible. It’s a story as old as time and as powerfully present, to greater and lesser degrees, in all our relationships. And it’s driving many of us crazy.
…
Resentful harridan is resentful.
We bitched to each other resentfully about this reality, and I quizzed my friends: is this you, too? We wondered if Wifedom was the book breaking up marriages around the country.
Funder’s demolition of the patriarchal structure that keeps many of us trapped in this place is something to behold
..
Seething Vagina is seething.
It’s hard to contain the seething anger you feel reading Funder’s biography, and I’m pretty sure that AI has now evolved to empath-level algorithms because that’s the only explanation for my social media feeds changing to an endless roll of “mental burden” posts as I read the book.
The worn-out faces and narrowed eyes of the tired women in the videos made subtitles redundant: I knew exactly what was pissing them off just by the way they looked at me.
Much the same feeling ABC (lack of) listeners then?
The biggest drops were in mornings (Virginia Trioli) and afternoons (Jacinta Parsons), each down by 2.3 points.
Vox senior correspondent Emily Stone just published an article cleverly titled, “The problem isn’t inflation. It’s prices.” Stone delivers the article much like a sage graciously dispensing wisdom from on high, illuminating the darkness of ignorant people still frustrated that groceries and other basic goods are so expensive.
Clearly Emily Stone has a degree in journalism from a major university.
May have been mentioned before but the Solicitor General ? , Correct title, who pronounced Tiwi islands were not subject to climate change because Australia only puts out 1% of emissions and we have no control of the weather and can’t change it .

When Vitrioli is finally yanked from the airwaves to save the radio station you suspect who might get the blame.
Mr Bear.
Vagina Trolley has “retired” from radio.
But has been able, with remora like precision, to remain attached to Aunties withered dugs in the guise of “special projects for television”..
High-profile ABC broadcaster Virginia Trioli has been announced as the host of a new primetime ABC TV arts program. The as-yet-unnamed program, which is described as taking ‘the audience into the world of major arts luminaries’, will air in 2024.
Shame on you for thinking they would abandon someone so proficient in giving the audience what they want (halving listeners) to make a living in the…. private… sector…

Every time I see iconic, legendary or popular written by news.com j’ismists now I have a look for idle curiosity but it is always some bespoke type business that I have never heard of and quite often confined inner city areas. Never heard of Burgletory either, don’t agree with burning the joint down but what does he expect wading into an emotionally charged debate that has nothing to do with his core business.
Watching that Vic Pol vid from Caufield, couple of observations. They would have had intel from their online team there would be a gathering like this, so like NSW cops at the Opera House they did nothing except send a token force. Looking at the video the only ones being targets of the pepper spray appeared to be in Israeli flags. So from a Police force that showed overwhelming numbers to little old ladies in parks during COVID or even had the gall to discharge gunpowder projected firearms on a war memorial couldn’t even deal with a few bored boys from Broadmeadow looking for a spot of bother on a Friday night.
Two tiered policing strikes again.

Try it, see what happens.
I can feel the frustration of others, at least we are not yet imprisoned for our view, but just you wait.
Police instructed by governments leaning one way does not help,
That’s one way to view it. Another is “normal aggression after the Friday sermon at their mosque”.
As someone who had special projects on their business card I ought to have some sympathy. In my case it was everything messy other people didn’t want to do. “This isn’t my job, give it to H B Bear.”
Dhimmi policing. Dhimmi Victoria. Dhimmi Australia.
Dhimmi world is here.
The same with my frangipani that flourished for decades and then started getting frost bitten tips the last few winters.
Vicpol’s motto is what again?
They’re spent 20 or 30 years rebuilding a police force from one that had a reputation of being very corrupt, and that reputation has been destroyed in what, two or three?
Even if authorities start trying to turn it around now, it’ll be a generation before they get anywhere. Given the government Victoria gets, I don’t think they’ll recover in my lifetime.

Please spend time with the people who are your rocks to cling to Cassie. I know it sounds condescending to say it, but you need those people right now.

What happened in Melbourne last night is a disgrace, and it is a portent of worse to come.
So a group of thugs went to a location with the specific aim of attacking, harassing and intimidating a group of people on the basis of their ethnicity/religion and no one was arrested? What about race hate laws in Vicco that were used against catch the fire ministries? Everyday I despise the political class a bit more.
Now there is a bright spot. One of the greats.

I reckon any good will towards VicPol was erased by their conduct during the scamdemic. I don’t think NSW police is any better but they don’t have the odium of being the dick-tator’s goon squad.

Also apparently some bad bonds sales in the US, big jump in rates needed to get interest.
Does that mean anything??
I’m certain it is that, the old hatred. But I’m reminded too that millennials are extremely strong in one particular trait. Fairness. They tend to look at life – their life- judging situations , all situations as to what is fair and the concept of fair.
Is it fair that trans freaks should not be fully integrated and mix with kids just like normies?
Is it fair that over 200 years ago a stone age people were brought out of their noble violent, abusive, existence ? Shouldn’t they be compensated by present day taxpayers?
Is it fair that Islam be considered a murderous Dark Age cult when it’s just another religion?
Is it fair that Arabs in Gaza should live a displaced life in their countries of origin, and be understood when they lash out at their imposed life like on Oct 7? Have some sympathy.
Layered on top of this is the Marxist education they have been inducted into most of their life and voila- you have an Israel hating population feverishly supporting their concept of “fairness” and murderous Islamists
The very disturbing thing I can see is this; as boomers depart this demographic grows and then dominates. So, as far as Hamas is concerned, Israel should make hay while the sun shines and wipe them out from this earth before the millennial equation really takes hold.

Why is Islamophobia so abhorrent when antisemitism gets a free pass?
Gang-raped and executed … burned alive … babies beheaded? It’s going down the media memory hole.
BBC doesn’t want to talk about Hamas barbaric crimes, just bang on interminably about damage to people and places in Gaza.
PS. I am neither Jew nor Muslim.
Why is Islamophobia so abhorrent when antisemitism gets a free pass?
for the same reason it’s ok to cut down a forest for windmills but not for building
There are reasons why other Arabs states in the ME won’t take in any more Palestinians. Most centre around the fact that they are violent troublemakers of very little wort.

They think that at bottom all people have the save values (except for the wilfully evil right who rightly suffer from trying to live contrary to nature).
They think Hamas have the same love of peace as we do, the same tender feelings we do for family, same impulse to protect the young, the old, and the vulnerable. They think they would be happy to live their religion within a secular society as the religious in ours (except Christians – they are fanatics). They believe that in peace Hamas (and Palestinians in general) will be content to live and mingle with the rest of a multi-culti society, offering us exotic dishes and exotic glimpses of their customs, with their children going to our schools and universities to learn to think like us.
Progressives have no idea how different people and cultures can be.
Their entire conceit of themselves is as the brilliant ones with a singular grasp of human nature, able to look at all modes and manner of human existence discern the sublime eddies and currents of which merely particular combinations account for superficial differences – like a biologist can make sense of the organs and structures of different mammals to explain the differences in how they live.
Progressives gloss over the fact that biologists even though they can explain between a mouse and a moose, they cannot change one to the other.
Or that not all living things are mammals.
a mostly peaceful protest
there’s seriously no original thought- just lifted from the contrived anti Trump race war.
Vikpol are following the ‘policing by consent of the perpetrators’ playbook. Public order offences and threatening behaviour are fully negotiable for the right sort of credentials.
The implied transaction is: you let off steam; but no exploding or beheading.
OK?
The right to protest is the fig leaf. The price in terms of intimidation and inconvenience can be paid by someone else.
No, danby, you monumental f*ckwit, I already know what it’s come to.

Trioli’s analysis of Orwell’s wife’s vomit:
Funder’s book excoriates a fundamental truth unchanged from both before and after Orwell’s time: that what women do in a marriage, in a family, creates more time for the other members of that family than they would ever have if they had to manage their lives without her.
The wife is an enabler, and a bearer of the mental and even physical load in ways that make her work both crucial and unvalued, all while it is also completely invisible. It’s a story as old as time and as powerfully present, to greater and lesser degrees, in all our relationships. And it’s driving many of us crazy.
Single parent families with only a woman are the single most dysfunctional factor in the growth of delinquency and social breakdown. A close second would be marriages with emasculating kunts like trioli in them.

A warning about phoning around to ascertain comparisons in energy providers. This applies to those who already have a fairly favourable plan & are looking for comparisons.
Husband phoned Red Energy to see if they could match or better our energy contract with AGL. We have a 10kw solar system & sell back to the grid at a quite good rate, but have been concerned about AGL’s readings now that they have recently installed a “smart meter”.
Red Energy could not match AGL’s rate for our energy supply back to the grid. But imagine our fury when we discovered that Red Energy, WITH NO AUTHORITY, had cancelled our AGL policy & opened one with Red Energy. We would not have believed they could do this – BUT THEY DID.
When it was discovered, husband, with great difficulty & a lot of time, cancelled the Red Energy contract, & attempts to reinstate the AGL agreement.
I am sure you have guessed what happened next. AGL flatly refused to offer the 20c per kw they were previously paying us (for over 7 years) for excess energy back to the grid. We thought we had convinced them through their Resolutions Centre – but this was later overruled by senior staff.
The most outrageous issue in the saga was the ability of Red Energy to cancel our AGL contract & sign us up with them. This is the problem with dealing with these issues by phone or internet. Digitalisation often sucks. The law has not kept pace with the changes to business transactions at this level.
Should we go to the Ombudsman? I don’t think it would be worth the effort – as a sharp AGL executive reminded us that they had the right to revise prices annually.
