The Anti-Aging Effect of Removing Zombie Cells
Fisetin appears promising. Supplements are available and expensive. Clinical trials in progress. Eliminating senescent cells will become a key health strategy. It may not increase longevity but it will reduce morbidity; although given other research into longevity highlighting “morbidity compression”, which involves the avoidance of chronic health conditions for as long as possible, being a key trait of centenarians, I expect increased longevity from senescent cell elimination.
Longevity and health research is now a huge field and is producing promising results. There will be ever increasing numbers of centenarians, the numbers are already rising but over the coming decades will rise much more quickly.
Infidel Tiger set a lower standard than that. He used to reckon that pilots should be able to eat with a knife and fork. No chopsticks. No hand shoveling.
I’ve often wondered if he broke his own rules, and paid the price. Mind you, last I heard he was building his own “King Tiger” tank in his garage from metal he was salvaging from his neighbours recycle bins. He’s been silent since then.
You’ve obviously confused Infidel with someone else. Infidel never claimed he was a reincarnated Henry Ford and never built anything in his garage. I know Artie. Artie is no Henry Ford.

Not much excitement in da media about the nationwide cool and damp conditions.
“These early reports stated that hostages, not controlled by Hamas, the main perpetrator and most powerful terrorist group in Gaza, had been moved around within Gaza and sold to other terrorist groups. This comports with Hamas’s sometimes statements that “they don’t know the whereabouts of certain hostages.”
Hamas has now admitted that the red-haired infant, ten-month-old Kfir Bibas; his four-year-old brother, Ariel; and their parents are not in their control. Rather, they have been moved to another location in Gaza, under the control of unidentified co-conspirators. Hamas is using these four human souls as chess pieces in their deadly, psychotic game.
Where has the Red Cross been all this time? Destroyed is the fiction that the Red Cross is a nonpartisan beacon of life-saving medical care. The Red Cross has not examined a single hostage in captivity. If it had done their proper job, Avigail Eden would not have been released with lice in her hair, and 84-year-old Elma Avraham would not have been deprived of her life-saving heart medicine and hospitalized with a body temperature of 82 degrees. Moreover, many child hostages have been released with orthopedic and nutritional issues.
If you think a hostage’s return is a victory for celebration — it’s not. The hostages should never have been kidnapped in the first instance. Their ransom is being paid for with the release of prisoners on the other side who were hell-bent on murdering civilian Israelis, by knife or mass bombing.
If you think a pause is good for the good guys (Israeli soldiers), it’s not.”

Comment by Rose Lavan under that article:
“That there are Americans rallying in support of Hamas tells you all you need to know about how sick American society has become. Can you imagine Americans rallying in support of Nazis after Pearl Harbor? Of course, not!
We are led by an old fool in the White House. EVERYONE knows he has dementia, and still, he sits in the Oval Office where he can apologize to Hamas.
Will there be fraud in the 2024 election to keep Democrats in power? Probably. Will Americans be afraid to protest that their country is gone? Probably.”
If anyone believes that, then they are ready for a brain-scan.

John Hinderaker at Powerline Blog:
“A MISGUIDED TRUCE
Several weeks ago, anti-Semitic demonstrations broke out around the world, calling for the destruction of Israel and for a cease fire between Israel and Gaza–i.e., an end to Israel’s counter-offensive. The demonstrators got their wish, and so far, the cease fire is playing out as I had feared. Israel’s military momentum is gone, and Israel has lost control over the situation. All focus now is on the hostage/prisoner exchanges. That puts Hamas in the driver’s seat, and the terrorist regime likely can drag out the cease fire almost indefinitely by dribbling out hostages a few at a time. Having gone down this path, it is hard to see a basis on which Israel’s government can withdraw from the process. So, despite brave assurances from some Israeli officials that the offensive will resume as soon as a brief truce is over, that eventuality is starting to look remote.
Meanwhile, U.S. support for Israel is draining away. Joe Biden is leaning on Israel’s government not to resume its offensive and to be more sensitive to civilian casualties–a suggestion that ought better be addressed to Hamas. Congressional Democrats are talking about conditioning ongoing aid to Israel on that country’s obeying international law. Which, of course, it does, but the intent is clear.
A few weeks ago it seemed incredible that Hamas might remain in power in Gaza, given Israel’s fury over the satanic events of October 7. Now that appears like a real possibility.
If Israel’s offensive is suspended indefinitely, if events dwindle into a prolonged hostage for prisoner exchange in which potentially thousands of Palestinian criminals and terrorists are let go, and if Hamas (or essentially the same elements under a different name) remains in control of Gaza, it will be a searing defeat for Israel and a diabolical triumph for Hamas. The sneak attack of October 7 will have proved a rousing success, and more attacks and more taking of hostages will be virtually guaranteed. Worse, if Israel fails to stand up for its absolute right to defend itself, it may compromise its ultimate ability to fight for its own survival as attacks by its Islamic enemies and the Left intensify.
Perhaps this reading of the situation is too pessimistic. Maybe the current truce will be short-lived, and Israel will get back to the business of defeating–no, destroying–its mortal enemy. I sincerely hope so. But at the moment, I do not like the direction in which events are moving.”
Thank Sancho and everyone for your responses re the Air Nz crash. I guess pilots rely on automation more and more like most of us. Their are lots of truck drivers in Sydney who block the narrow and windy Galston Gorge road because the GPS sends them there in spite of all the warning signs – maybe there’s a Road House at the bottom with a good dunny.
Also Cassie.
I also remember watching, with my parents, an episode of Four Corners in 1981 or so, and the programme broadcast parts of a video showing the last minutes inside the plane, just before it crashed. Very, very sad. The video camera had been retrieved from the crash site.
I probably watched the same. A number of YouTube docos showing film footage of the last minutes of the flight. The most haunting is video of a pretty teenage girl who wasn’t much older than me at the time holding a camera and looking shyly at the camera. A podcast from 2019 interviewed her then boyfriend who said they both loved dancing and he has never forgotten her. Really sad.
This Hamas line of “we don’t have the hostages, another group has them” has a short shelf life.
They are dead.
You have murdered them.
Does anyone believe that other groups can operate in Gaza for a prolonged period of time without the support & resources from Hamas?
How can people be so retarded?
When Ramirez is good, he’s very good. An excellent toon this morning. Thanks Tom.
Yes. The mom and kids at least.

Re Bungonia Bee’s proposition that Israel is teaching an impasse in its prosecution of the war as the hostage situation stops the momentum-
Can’t see it. The events of 10/7 were so horrendous & so change all resumption of previous border control norms that it would threaten civil stability should a back step be taken. Yes, the attitudes of international governments is fragile, but, if anything, the anti-Semitism demonstrations across the world should help Israel in its life and death defence of its existence.
“ is reaching an impasse”!

Who knows? We all know. It’s safe to assume that whatever they say, it’s not that.
I can only hope that when the Israelis flatten Gaza they build a wall, no border crossing, no services provided and any rockets will result in Gaza being flattened again. No discussion entered into. Leave us alone. Looking forward to the execution of hummus hierarchy.
Vicki, agree with you there. The demonstrators think that the publicity is helping their evil cause though all it is doing is identifying those among us who are perfectly fine with, and even in favour of, killing those with whom they disagree. They are not all stupid, the kids may be, they know what they are doing.
From The Oz…
“The youngest of the Israeli hostages, 10-month-old Kfir Bibas and his four-year-old brother Ariel have been killed alongside their mother Shiri Silberman-Bibas, Hamas says.
The shock news has complicated ongoing discussions for a further extension of the current ceasefire between Hamas and Israel.
The young baby, who was just nine months and learning to crawl when kidnapped along with his mother and older brother, have become a potent symbol of the Israeli hostage suffering and the torment of hostage families.
The development has rocked the extended Bibas family and other families of the 160 hostages still being held.
Hamas’ armed wing Al-Qassam Brigades announced on Wednesday afternoon that the three Bibas family members were killed in an Israeli airstrike before the prisoner-hostage truce began last week. The claims were made without providing any evidence. The Israel army said it was checking the claims.”
This is not great news to wake up. I am devastated. I am crying.

If there had been no unusual covid measures taken, no unusual illness would have been noticed; was the “pandemic” needed to roll out “vaccines”?
To roll out the “vaccines” and to test has far people could be pushed. I’m afraid we did not shine. Without the coordinated panic and propaganda 2020 would have been an ordinary year with perhaps a rather bad flu season being noted. Untold millions of people have been killed or harmed, both physically or mentally, by their little experiment.
I’m reclaiming the word “Nazi”. For years now those on the progressive left, including that putrid pervert apologist who bobs up here, have thrown the word “Nazi” around with gay reckless abandon, particularly throwing it at those of us whose opinions they don’t like. But it’s long been very clear who the real Nazis are, and it is those who committed the atrocities on 7 October 2023, it is their Palestinian supporters, it is the supporters here amongst the progressive left, and it is, of course, our very own, very progressive Nazi here.

Summary
• November 2021 was Australia’s wettest November since national records began in 1900. Nationally averaged rainfall for the month was 76.2 mm, 135% above the 1961?1990 average.
• It was also the wettest November on record for New South Wales and South Australia, and for the Murray–Darling Basin.
• Many locations had their wettest November on record, particularly in inland New South Wales and the ACT, southern Queensland, and northern and western South Australia. A few locations, including Bathurst, had their wettest month on record.
• The wet November was the result of multiple rain events during the month which affected large parts of Australia.

Gabrielle de Vietri
Another fully formed turd pops up in the Greens’ cesspit.
Why didn’t any of the Jews there go the b*tch? Stop being polite.
A Greens MP has provoked outrage after turning up wearing a Palestinian scarf outside a Victorian parliament function where friends and families of Israeli hostages were reliving their ordeals.
Greens spokeswoman for LGBTIQA+ rights Gabrielle de Vietri hovered at the Bring Me Home Now function on Wednesday, organised by Jewish groups and MPs.
One member of the Jewish community who attended the event described how Ms de Vietri positioned herself at the entrance next to cardboard silhouettes of hostages.”
Interesting, isn’t it? Why wasn’t she escorted away by police? She was being deliberately offensive and a nuisance. I can guarantee you that if it had been a protest/vigil or whatever for Gazan Nazis, and a person turned up draped in an Israeli flag, then the police would have escorted that person away.
Ahhhh yes, the eternal hypocrisy. One thing is for sure, we have a Nazi Party in in this country in 2023, and that party is called the Greens. No difference none whatsoever.
“Stop being polite.”
Yep, call them what they are…..JEW HATERS AND NAZIS.
Elon should send him a list of every FBI and CIA agent on Twitter, plus all DoJ employees and the entire Democrat roster in the House and the Senate. That would both be accurate plus nice trolling.
A very senior Naval officer, ADM Synnot IIRC, once told the story of arriving in Navy Office as a Captain, only to find himself doing essentially the same job he had done as a Lieutenant Commander a few years earlier.
If Navy was having a Captain doing what used to be a Lieutenant Commander’s job, it is hardly surprising that the opinion of a Warrant Officer was not valued.
Compare the pair.
Gabrielle di Vietri wears a keffiyeh to a Jewish function mourning the loss of innocent civilians and hostages. Grins. Remains.
Rev Mark Leach produces an Israeli flag at a hateful demonstration calling for the death of Jews. Chased by towelheads. Police remove him.
This country is becoming a political dung heap. And cock of the walk is a thinly veiled anti-semitic PM.
And when I say “go the b*tch”, I mean escort her firmly from the premises. She was not welcome.
I do not mean chase her, hunt her down, and have her cowering behind a police van.
Like the people she supports.
Why are key Republicans resisting transparency on UFOs?

It would not be hard to find cars, shops, fences, businesses, teachers staffrooms, the STC dressing rooms etc and slap a sticker in a prominent area. We really need to fight back hard.
Not to forget the offices of every Greens MP and Labor retard.
The stickers would also do double duty as all the above mentioned are fully on board with full-term abortion. It is no surprise then that they don’t care about murdered Israeli babies.
Does anyone here know of a company that would print the above stickers? I’m thinking that the wording may prove to be a sticking point. Although I am sure that if asked for Allen’s Snackbar, there would be no problem at all.
That also surrounds ‘Palestine’ with people who have no intention of allowing it to import weapons or putting up with any shite from it.

Amir Tsarfati: Brutality of Hamas attacks will come to America at some point
Amir Tsarfati, the founder and CEO of Behold Israel, a nonprofit group that covers Israel from a biblical worldview, said on Washington Watch Monday that America’s open southern border and lax approach to national security make an attack by Hamas a matter of when not if.
“They don’t even hide it. Those terrorists, they say, ‘Saturday people are first, the Sunday people are next,’”
Tsarfati told show host Tony Perkins. “America has thousands of sleeping cells all across the country. Your southern border is so open I can’t even imagine how many Hezbollah and Hamas cells are in your country right now. They’re testing you.”
Europe is also at risk, Tsarfati said.
Two ingredients: Patience and division
According to the prophecy teacher, the Hamas attack that killed more than 1,400 Israelis on Oct. 7 was the picture of terrorist patience and came at a time that the terrorists judged Israel to be weakened by division.
Thousands demonstrated in Israel this spring and summer over Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s efforts to limit Supreme Court oversight of the government. Trade unions shut down large parts of the economy in March. And in July, protesters blocked access to Ben-Gurion International Airport and set up tents at busy intersections in major cities.
Tsarfati, Amir Tsarfati
As Tsarfati explained, Hamas felt the time was right for its purposes and launched the attack from its headquarters in Gaza.
Hamas responds to ‘smell’ of weakness
Tsarfati argued that similarities exist between Israel’s summer of discontent and the state of the U.S. as tension flares over social issues like abortion and LGBTQ rights plus economic concerns with rampant inflation.
“This is exactly what the whole world is experiencing, and America leads that. Then [when terrorists] smell weakness, they strike,” said Tsarfati, who calls on the U.S. to change its elected leaders. “I hope that Americans are going to wake up to understand that you are in a crisis right now, and you have to stand up change this policy. You know what you need to do in November [2024].”
Result: Unity where there was division
Tsarfati said the Oct. 7 attacks were a “one-day holocaust” and “crimes against humanity that were performed by bloodthirsty people who have no regard for human life and have no intention to have any peace with us at all.”
But those attacks, according to Tsarfati, have served to unite the previously divided country and strengthen the resolve of Israelis.
“Israel, for the longest time, tried to appease them by giving them jobs within Israel by allowing money to flow in. But this monster rose one morning and tried to devour us,” he said.
Sandwiched between enemies
I’m sure their support for hamarse had nothing to do with the banners.
UNRWA Strikes Again?
*Plus, dropping zingers like “Of all the satanic brainfarts that the Nazis came up with, the idea of an Islamic Death Cult Ethno-state is probably the worst, and I wish that the military-industrial complex would stop giving it blood money” can be heaps fun.
UNRWA people have also been sprung holding hostages in their homes.

Indefinite detention chaos not Canberra’s finest hour
This episode hasn’t been the finest hour for what should be Australia’s reasoned and deliberative legal and legislative processes.
The High Court’s lack of political nous,
Peter Dutton’s political opportunism, and Labor’s political fumbling have all played a role in the past month’s chaos in Canberra over the wicked problem of what to do about non-citizens with no legal right to remain in the country but who can’t be deported anywhere else.
The High Court’s November 8 decision to overturn a near 20-year precedent, rule that indefinite detention of non-citizens with no realistic prospect of repatriation or being sent to another country is illegal, and order the immediate release of a Rohingya man convicted of child sex offences, all without publishing its detailed reasons, was naively unhelpful on such politically sensitive questions of immigration and community safety.
The High Court has partly conceded this by belatedly fast-tracking Tuesday’s publication of its full judgement.
This is underlined by the curt passage in the otherwise unanimous 7-0 ruling, whereby two dissenting judges, Justices Jacqueline Gleeson and Jayne Jagot, want it made known that they didn’t agree with the court issuing a writ of habeas corpus ordering the plaintiff’s release forthwith without publishing reasons.
Australia’s Migration Act empowered the minister for immigration to order the detention of those denied a visa to remain legally in Australia on character grounds.
The High Court has now reversed a narrow 4-3 majority decision in the 2004 case of Al-Kateb v Godwin and ruled that indefinite detention of those who can’t be deported is punitive and therefore breaches the Australian Constitution’s separation of powers.
Upheld has been the key principle in a law-based democracy such as Australia that the courts, and not politicians, should be in charge of criminal punishment and locking people up.
However, flying blind without the High Court’s full judgement, the government arguably overreacted by releasing 141 non-citizens who on the face of it were illegally detained.
Mr Dutton then politically weaponised the optics of murderers, rapists, terrorists, and others of bad character being let out to roam the streets by blaming Labor for not having replacement laws ready to go ahead of a foreseeable High Court loss.
The government at first claimed that would have to wait for the full judgement.
But as the tabloid and talk-back-driven furore intensified, Labor rushed legislation through parliament imposing monitoring and movement restrictions on those released.
It also rejected Coalition calls for preventative detention as it guessed that such a punitive regime was likely to fall foul of the High Court decision.
Yet it now appears that the High Court’s full judgement allows preventative detention of those posing unacceptable risks to society such as child sex offenders, under the kind of statutory regime that applies to detaining terrorists. The government plans to force through new powers to this effect by the end of the parliamentary sitting year.
This episode hasn’t been the finest hour for what should be Australia’s reasoned and deliberative legal and legislative processes.
There should be a high character bar for those seeking the privileges of Australian citizenship. However, a non-citizen who has forfeited the legal right to be in the country still has rights – as the High Court has ruled – and should be treated according to the law.
A case can be made for balance and proportionality by reserving the limbo of indefinite preventive detention for the worst of the worst offenders who pose a genuine risk to the community.
It is also important that the integrity of the immigration system is upheld so that, as with Australia’s strong border protection policies, public confidence and support for large, legal and orderly migration and a generous refugee program is maintained.
All is not well in the Green’s bouncy castle?

The Guardian reports that c. 40 ALP branches in NSW, including the prime minister’s, have passed resolutions calling for a complete ceasefire in Gaza, with more expected to follow.
Unnamed party insiders report deep dissatisfaction with the PM’s stance (such as it is, with the PM today expected to call for an extension of the current humanitarian ceasefire).
The AFR leftards really can’t help themselves, can they? Where do they find their evidence of public support for a “large, legal and orderly migration and a generous refugee program”? The same place as evidence of support for Da InVoice?
Freed Thai hostage reports that Jewish hostages were beaten with electric cables and starved.
Dutton should now hammer Labor and demand the expulsion of all ALP members who voted for those resolutions. Then hammer the ALP some more as the Australian Antisemite Party.

“Can anyone remember last El Nino/La Nina when we got lots of rain and the Indonesians had a bit of a drought,…”
El Nino / La Nina is one part.
Second part is IOD – does cloud from Indian Ocean move from WA/NT to NSW/Vic, or does it not.
Third part is Antarctic – on the east coast, do we get “Southerly Busters” or not.
These all “change state” on a different schedule, and the weather we get is therefore likely to be in one of the eight possible combinations of the above three variables.
And since each of these three is not truely “binary” (one way or the other), but a continuum with a human defined transition point between the “on/off” points, weather is severely unpredictable!
As I mentioned in October in regard to ALP WA senator Fatima Payman, the ALP has a serious problem on its hands, one which it has allowed to fester within its branches for decades.

Rockdoctor:
It reminds me of a Medical Center somewhere in Australia on an Anzac Day in the not very recent past last century where the Nursing Officer in Charge was approached discretely by the Warrant Officer of the Medical Centre who made noises of a rumoured Gunshot Breakfast for the inpatients, and asked what the Standing Orders were (The Standing orders were quite well known.) The Nursing Officer walked over to a linen trolley, took a towel and threw it over their shoulder.
“I’ll be taking a shower, Warrant Officer.” and walking past the linen trolley, took another towel and threw it over the other shoulder. “I shall be at least half an hour.”
Shut the door on your way out..
Translation #2: If we don’t get the political outcome we require, we will feel disenfranchised from our political system. And you know that it’s best all round if we’re kept very, very franchised.
Another successful minority.
Zatara “someone should lend him a history book”. Someone should lend him a 7.62 FMJ, just passing through, you had it long enough to do the right amount of damage. Also in that theme the people that were notable holding the hostages will be identified and dealt with accordingly I hope.

I think a question should be raised to the gallery…
“How many of you lot are wearing knickers? Gentlemen are not required to answer.”
The ALP is hell-bent on guaranteeing political power forever by importing a replacement electorate of violent Islamist arabs.
This power lust transcends all the party’s factions left and right because it is about POWER. It started in 2007 when Kevin Rudd lied about being a fiscal conservative to get rid of Howard and Costello.
Now, after the collapse of another conservative government, the Elbow regime has lied its way into office, triggering a new immigration stream of violent Arabs — rebranded this year as “Palestinians”.
Labor will do whatever it takes to acquire political power — especially now that it represents only a tiny minority of 8% of trade union members in the private Australian economy outside the public service and relies on another tiny minority — the Jew-hating racists of the Greens — to stay in power.

We need to start thinking about whether or not the US will come to our aid if the Indonesians or Subcontinentals start sending over hundreds of thousands of civilians to start colonising the upper West Australian coastline.

Schumer Asks Why Left Doesn’t Stand With Israel In Speech Condemning Anti-Semitism
BY TYLER DURDEN
In a major speech on Nov. 29 about the rise in anti-Semitism, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) criticized the left side of the ideological spectrum for not reciprocating in solidarity with the Jewish people.
Speaking on the Senate floor, Mr. Schumer, the highest-ranking Jewish official in U.S. history, noted that the Jewish people have been allies when it comes to certain causes surrounding minorities.
“Not long ago, many of us marched together for black and brown lives. We stood against anti-Asian hatred. We protested bigotry against the LGBTQ community. We fought for reproductive justice, out of the recognition that injustice against one oppressed group is injustice against all,” he said.
“But apparently, Mr. President, in the eyes of some this principle does not extend to the Jewish people,” he continued.
Mr. Schumer warned that the rise in anti-Semitism is “a five-alarm fire that must be extinguished.”
This comes amid the latest conflict between Israel and the terrorist group Hamas that started on Oct. 7, resulting in the largest single-day massacre of the Jews since the Holocaust, when 6 million Jews were exterminated.
He lamented anti-Semitism and anti-Israel sentiment in the United States ranging from college campuses to the media to Jewish businesses boycotted and vandalized.
He also cited examples of Jews being persecuted throughout history, from the Crusades to pogroms to the expulsions from countries including England and Spain.
In the United States, there was a 388 percent increase in anti-Semitic incidents between Oct. 7 and Oct. 23, according to the Anti-Defamation League. Additionally, Jews are the leading target for religious-related hate crimes in the United States, according to the FBI.
Mr. Schumer emphasized there is a difference between criticizing Israeli government policies and demonizing Israel.
“This speech is not an attempt to label most criticism of Israel and the Israeli government, generally, as anti-Semitic,” he said.
“I don’t believe that criticism is.”

Potentially Important, but the Deep State Interests Are Massive – Judge Rules Contents of Seth Rich Laptop Must Be Released…
November 29, 2023 – Sundance
If you know the background context, the latest developments in the Seth Rich laptop legal battle could be extremely interesting.
However, despite a very favorable court ruling, I caution against too much optimism – the stakes in this ancillary story to the targeting of President Donald Trump are extremely high.
The bottom line of the latest development is that a judge has given the DOJ 14 days to turn over the contents of the laptop belonging to former DNC staffer Seth Rich. There are multiple points of information that point toward Seth Rich having downloaded the DNC email files and shared them with Wikileaks founder Julian Assange.
Seth Rich was killed shortly thereafter in what DC claims was a “botched robbery.”
The reason this story is important will be highlighted below in granular detail.
However, within the Time Magazine article about the judge’s ruling the closing statement summarizes the position of the DEEPEST elements of the DC Deep State. NOTE:
…”After his death, Rich was proven to not be the source of any email leaks, with the Mueller Report—also known as the Report on the Investigation into Russian Interference in the 2016 Presidential Election—finding Russian hackers responsible.” (link)
