@KD Why call me a “you monumental poltroon.”? Why be so insulting ? I have been in Prison … have you? Much and all as it might satisfy you to see people that have done really messed up things … punished … sure… but is Prison the answer? There were people in Prison when I was there … people far too dangerous to ever be allowed into our Community. Prison is very expensive ..

If you want a concret example just search Daniel Adam Wright … That is what prison is for. Some of the others were just horrific.

But most of them are dangerous for sure .. but not in the same way…

thousands displaced in Sudan, no-one is marching every weekend calling for a ceasefire.

Remember when Sudan and Darfur were the flavour of the week? George Clooney and sundry other Hollywierdoes demonstrating outside the UN? Good days, long gone.

Like Somalia.

An interesting aspect of the list of Israeli solders killed thus far – as posted by Bon @ 6:06 p.m. – is the preponderance of mid to upper NCO ranks.

@KD .. I hear you talking Big Dog … shit heads need to somehow be curtailed but Prison is expensive and a huge drain. I dont know the answer to your question. I did two years in jail and have a Police Clearance. Only way I would advocate for more Prison, for more people that arent dangerous , is that it would make such places safer and more pleasant for people like me.

Well not dangerous like that … Daniel Adam Wright … really nasty dangerous characters like that. Blokes that … hey never mind… to horrible to relate …

dislaimer .. it was two decade ago … I Dont know the answer Brother !! I wish I did .

Breaking it down:

KD Why call me a “you monumental poltroon.”?

A Captain Obvious moment.

I have been in Prison … have you?

I’ve been to prison, not in prison. On that subject, I am told there are certain ‘honourable professions’ among prisoners. Proper bank robbers and safebreakers who regard time in the bin as an occupational hazard. Professional hitmen, the same. The rest of the bunch are accurately described by the aforementioned as ‘shitmen’.

Much and all as it might satisfy you to see people that have done really messed up things … punished

Yep. I also note your description of ‘messed things up’. These people did not overcook a chicken.

is Prison the answer?

Yes it is. Because the people in there have to go through a lot of hoops to even get near actual jail time (apparently). Those who get there, deserve it.

There were people in Prison when I was there … people far too dangerous to ever be allowed into our Community.

That’s the point.

Prison is very expensive

You’re the Treasurer now as well?

I did two years in jail

That is almost certainly not true for the crime you assert you were falsely accused of, even as a first offence; IIRC the original muzzlehatch (who you are stealing the identity of) said he did 12 years in the clink.

I hear you talking Big Dog

Thanks.

Champ.

@Knuckle Dragger

I thought there might be some benefit in trying to engage you in a serious conversation … clearly not …

You “have been told ” ..certain compelling anecdotes that out weigh real experience …

BTW ..did you search Daniel Adam Wright ? That isn’t an anecdote … no more boring and brutal reality .

Prison is for the likes of Daniel Adam Wright … blokes that go to parties and look for chicks who are blotto so as they can rape them… blokes that will mug you and punch you in the car park … people who are an immediate and irredeemable threat to Public Safety … The sort of thing you cant protect yourself against… wild animals.

Dog has about 4 names including knuckles…

Steady on.

@Dot … I was sentenced to 12 … I had my conviction overturned … I was retried and acquitted … I have a Clean Record.

You drip.

@KD .. You might suppose ..in your infinite wisdom … but Daniel Adam Wright never cried … he had the eyes of an insect… he couldnt “cry any more than a millipeede can” as Catholic I belived that Man …every Man has a Soul ..DAW … didnt …

But Hey you know it all …. gosh your knowledge of the seamier side of life impresses me …

@Dot … I was sentenced to 12 … I had my conviction overturned … I was retried and acquitted … I have a Clean Record.

You drip.

You’re making this up as you go along. This is the first time you brought this up. It doesn’t reconcile with what MH actually said. A retrial and acquittal is not the same as having a conviction overturned, despite having the same practical end.

I found the case.

I still think you are Graeme Bird. You wouldn’t even say what years you served in Casurina Prison.

Looks like another night of scrolling as the Bolton poof loads shit onto the thread.

Here’s the other thing, “Mark Bolton”.

First of all, you said this woman was sending you letters. No. The appeal court President cited ICQ chats that the DCJ trial judge only partially allowed to be adduced as evidence.

Do you want to explain why the appeal court made not mention of the letters and you made no mention of the ICQ chats?

The District Court case was 1933 of 2003.

The appeal was upheld and a new trial was ordered in Dec 2007 and the appeal was heard in November 2007.

Do you want to explain how you “only did two years”.

???

Stop this bullshit Bird, apologise to the real Mark Bolton and shut up & go away.

Identity theft is pretty awful. All because you want to say Jews are poo poo heads.

Good Luck Rockdoctor.

To answer the post from before, how will Justice Michael Lee find out (referring to the Brittany tapes), I’m not sure what you mean.
If he has a phone, TV or a clerk, he’s going to know about it.
I would imagine there would be communications that have either been sent or at least been drafted to address this.

Brittany’s old man must be packing some serious heat.

Apropos of this nonsensical nonsense about being unjustly imprisoned:

I will just mention at this juncture, that nobody, and I mean nobody….

Can eat 50 eggs.

Some people have watched too many movies.

38mm at Darwin Airport since lunchtime. Still hammering away.

A big fat Joe Burns LBW duck egg at my house.

Seriously.

@KD

ABSOLUTELY !!! Everyone has watched way too many Movies !! Cracked it in one Brother … these days I only watch Russian Movies and am trying to cut down on that too…

BTW I have about 12 boiled eggs..looking at me right now … was going to “Launch in” ..

Thanks for the steadying hand …

You assume that the skeleton IDF staff at the military bases during a religious holiday would be mostly lower ranks, but I have seen one report where a lot of senior officers were together in a conference or such and all captured and kidnapped.

Are their consultants senior Australian Army officers?

@Damienski

I dont post unless posted at. I dont draw attention to myself. Every single boring remark I may have made was in response to a boring snipe made at me. I never initiated it … I make it a “rule of two” ..I ignore the first one then respond to the second. But that said I am here to see how you folk think …

Old Ozzie:

“And I remember those were the exact words. And I said ‘did he rape you?’

“Her response was ‘I could not have consented it would have been like f**king a log’.”

So she dodged the question again…

Ohtani Signs With Dodgers For $700 Million, Will Receive 58 Bucks After California Taxes

LOS ANGELES — Baseball superstar Shohei Ohtani signed a record-shattering $700 million contract today with the Los Angeles Dodgers, which will net him about 58 bucks after taxes.

“I am very happy to have signed the largest baseball contract of all time,” said Ohtani through an interpreter.

On the other hand, if we’re adding ‘Jimmy Chips’ and a drink, we’re talking three years in at best.”

Crossie.

Its almost cruel.

The oil tick hosts announced a break out session where they could all speak from the heart without notes.
Can you imagine? It would have been like clubbing a baby seal to get turtehead to emote like a teenage girl, unconstrained by anything other than its own teenage girl emotions.

We aren’t sending our best.

Re the Zwier tape: what was the point of his telling his audience what Higgins should say unless it was to cause at least one of them to relay the message to her? Of course, there may be some other point to it, but it’s not obvious.
Will Whybrow KC seek to have Higgins recalled?

You post some bizarre things here and this did not disappoint, it was truly bizarre.

The Beginnings of the Holocaust

This is an extract from a book by Sever and Alice Sternhell titled Our Mob: A Family Chronicle, published privately in Sydney in 2005.

Professor Sever Sternhell (above) was one of Australia’s most distinguished scientists.

He was Professor of Chemistry at the University of Sydney and a Fellow of the Australian Academy of Science. In June 2018, he was made an Officer of the Order of Australia “for distinguished service to education in the field of organic chemistry, specifically to nuclear magnetic resonance, as an academic and researcher, and to scientific institutions”.

He was a highly valued member of the board of Quadrant Magazine Ltd from 1998 until his death in November 2022, aged ninety-two. Sev, as his friends knew him, was an Ashkenazi Jew and a Holocaust survivor. He was born in Poland in May 1930 and grew up in the city of Lwow (now known as Lviv, the principal city of western Ukraine).

During the Second World War he lived through the Nadworna massacre, the Lwow Ghetto and the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp. The article here comes from Chapter Four of Our Mob, titled “The Holocaust”.

The Nadworna Massacre

Nadworna was not situated on a major strategic route, and the German mechanised units just passed through, shortly after the long columns of the retreating horse-drawn vehicles of the Red Army left. Before retreating, the NKVD, the precursor of the KGB and the main instrument of internal terror, killed all the political prisoners in their hands. Even in little Nadworna (population about 6000), there was an NKVD prison and they killed about eighty prisoners and buried them in a shallow grave in an area known as Bukovinka (beech forest) on the outskirts of Nadworna. When the local Ukrainians discovered this grave a few weeks later, they rounded up a couple of hundreds of Nadworna’s Jews, including my uncle Milek, and forced them with great brutality to disinter the bodies and clean them up. A pogrom resulted, with several deaths, as the Ukrainians chose to blame the Jews for Soviet atrocities. Interestingly, my uncle Milek observed that several of the victims of the NKVD were in fact Jews: they were circumcised.

Murder by the clock! 11 a.m. to 11 p.m.! How German!

Brutal bolding there Old Ozzie!

Just to cheer you up Wally.

Oddness abounds in relation to the case of Bru and Bri – One night in Canbra …

Police investigate death of woman and baby at home in Morley, north of Perth

Something happened and somehow a woman and her baby are found dead in a home in otherwise uncontroversial circumstances.

I wonder how vague the reporting would be if it was a male and a baby found dead, or if there was the merest possibility that a male ‘intimate partner’ might be responsible.

No, I don’t wonder. It is obvious. The screeching from the white ribbon brigade would be deafening.

Here, this woman most likely killed her baby and herself – but we mustn’t jump to any conclusions or rush to judge. We probably won’t hear again about it for months until the coroner’s report is handed down and the mother was depressed etc etc, the state failed her and the baby etc etc etc.

ZK2A> See your version and raise you one Black Betty

I guess the Video cost less than $100. Raw and real stuff.

Most of what I know about Marlowe’s odd life under the reign of Liz v1 – remember, the virgin queen of the golden age ran a massive spy network, was keen on torture and cut the hands off pamphleteers – came from Anthony Burgess, A Dead Man in Deptford.
The Marlowe = Shakespeare equation is so obvious, even Burgess didn’t twig.

Haaretz articled is paywalled

That’s like paying for a subscription to the Green Left Weekly.

Donbass Devrushka is another deeply suspect outlet that has followed a very similar trajectory to Coach Fed Pill.

Their intrepid leader was identified as some US Navy analyst and DD dropped off the radar for awhile…only to return with better production values and more high profile guests than ever! Pepe Escobar, Andrei Martyanov, Scott Ritter and even…hell, come on, Larry Johnson – you’re supposed to be ex-CIA, ffs. You can’t see this for what it is? Sad.

O.M.G. look at that picture. He’s got that “I’m a dweeb and I’ve been picked on and abused since I was born” look.

I met someone like him and he behaved exactly as if the whole world was his enemy and he was taking revenge.

I don’t know if it was because of bullying or came naturally?

Imagine just how bad the Rohingya have behaved previously to be knocked back by your Muslim brothers in Aceh?
From the Oz.

Law minister Yasonna Laoly has said “cultural differences” ­between the Rohingya and Acehnese – both Muslim and largely from fishing and farming communities – had caused anxiety among some Indonesians.

From 1 July this year, Indian graduates of Australian tertiary institutions on a student visa can apply to work and pursue professional development without visa sponsorship for up to eight years.

Just what we need – more blowins from a low trust society. Why is it that we only get people who won’t mix in?

It’s by design, don’t fight it, pissing against the wind.

Haaretz

Amid mounting international pressure for a cease-fire between Israel and Hamas in Gaza, Israeli security officials say the IDF ground offensive could prevent another hostage deal between Israel and Hamas. UNSC representatives toured the Rafah region to understand Gaza’s humanitarian aid needs.

The IDF is facing the same problem as the US did in Vietnam.
Internal enemies are the killers.

It must be an incredibly productive economy when you have a large number of non-workers receiving benefits for religious reasons and the rest holding up the economic scaffolding.

Don’t know nothing about economics but I feel the same applies to us here in Australia.
Two sections are holding us above water, God help us if either fails.

Sorry but I agree with Arky, some sort of manufacturing capacity should be retained.
I remember when the tariffs were abolished on most electronic goods, the price of foreign TVs and such were nearly halved and the Phillips factory in Shepparton closed almost overnight.

There has to be a midway in this.

Gabor, the biggest obstacle to growth in Australia is the Union movement. Until we get them back under control, we will continue to lose manufacturing.
All those very high paying jobs in mining are now at risk.

They walk among us, er.. no- they remain in the ivory towers raining down brickbats.

Berated’: UN Women chair slates pro-Israel MPs
Two senior Liberal MPs have been confronted by the chair of UN Women Australia over their criticism of the UN body for its almost two-month silence about Hamas’ murder and rape on October 7.

3 MINUTE READ
Two senior Liberal MPs have been confronted by the chair of UN Women Australia over their criticism of the UN body for its almost two-month silence about Hamas’ murder and rape of Israeli women on October 7.

UN Women Australia chairperson Georgina Williams called federal opposition education spokeswoman and Victorian senator Sarah Henderson and Victorian Liberal MP Georgie Crozier to complain about their criticism of the UN body, made at a rally in Melbourne earlier this month.

Ms Henderson told The Australian the phone call was heated and that Ms Williams “berated” her for her criticism of the UN Women’s 57-day silence about the sexual violence committed by Hamas on October 7.

It is understood Ms Williams accused Senator Henderson, among other things, of dividing women by agreeing to speak at the Jewish women’s vigil in Elsternwick on December 4, which protested against the silence of UN Women and other women’s rights groups about Hamas’ sexual violence against Israeli women.

Israel and Jewish groups around the world have condemned as “disgraceful” the UN body’s long silence about Hamas’s murder and rape of Israeli women, when it has been quick to condemn violence against women in other parts of the world. UN Women is the global body dedicated to gender equality and the empowerment of women.

“Rather than berate me for my stand at the Jewish women’s vigil, I invite the chair of UN Women Australia to better represent the interests of all Australian women,’ Senator Henderson said.

“The … silence from UN Women over the atrocities committed by Hamas terrorists against Jewish and Israeli women is not good enough. There is no excuse for this silence from an organisation meant to uphold women’s rights including Palestinian women and girls subjected to the horrors of Hamas.”

Ms Williams also contacted Ms Crozier, a member of the Victorian upper house, to complain about a social media post from the rally in which the MP said: “UN Women and other leading women’s advocacy groups were silent after the 7 October attack on Israel when women were raped, kidnapped and slaughtered. Tonight, we came together to proclaim that there is #noexcuse for silence.”

When asked about the phone call from Ms Williams, Ms Crozier said: “I was pleased to be able to speak with Georgina and put my point of view to her. There have not been enough women speaking out about the atrocities that occurred and women’s groups have been too silent and haven’t spoken in support of (Israeli) women on this.”

Ms Williams said she did not want to discuss the calls to the two Liberals.

“I don’t want to have an argument with anyone, I’m not upset with anyone, I just think the (Jewish) community needs to be supported,” she said.

Ms Williams said she also did not want to comment about “the messaging out of New York” and said the spotlight was now “being put on the victims and there could be no better outcome”.

She declined to say if the controversy had had an impact on donations or organisational support for UN Women Australia, the local arm of UN Women.

The New York-based UN Women only condemned the Hamas massacre and the sexual violence towards Israeli women on December 1, eight weeks after the October 7 massacre that killed 1200 Israelis, many of then women and children.

Detailed evidence has been presented to the UN about large-scale sexual violence perpetrated by Hamas during its attack.

Israel’s Foreign Minister Eli Cohen said the delay in issuing the condemnation was “disgraceful”.

“UN Women’s message is weak and late when it comes after almost two months of silence and ignoring the war crimes, crimes against humanity, and sexual crimes committed by the terrorist organisation, Hamas,” he said.

At the rally in Elsternwick last week around 600 women dressed in white with some carrying signs saying “#MeToo Unless you’re a Jew” called for women’s rights organisations, feminist commentators and all politicians to “unequivocally” condemn the sexual violence committed by Hamas.

Speakers included Kylie Moore-Gilbert, an Australian academic who was wrongfully held prisoner by Iran for more than two years, Jackie Frank, the founding editor of Marie Claire Australia as well as Senator Henderson.

One of the speakers at the rally was 18-year-old Mika, a childhood friend of 19-year-old Naama Levy, who was taken hostage by Hamas and whose photos with her bloody tracksuit pants have been seen around the world.

Who the hell are the Bedouin of Negev?

They have more historical ties to the land than the Pali’s do.

Perhaps Georgina Williams Australian head of the UN Women coven has not been asked the burning question: What is a woman?

Or perhaps Georgina Williams is confused – could it be that she and the entire UN Women organisation doesn’t realise that Israeli adult females are women?

Or perhaps Georgina Williams is confused – could it be that she and the entire UN Women organisation doesn’t realise that Israeli adult females are women?

She has a mortgage to pay so will do whatever it takes to keep the taxpayer funded job she needs.
What’s she going to do otherwise?
Something productive?

There is no obstacle in place ie preventing anyone from setting up a manufacturing concern right now.

Ah, the naiveté of distance.

Sorry to break it to you, JC, but while there are no barriers to setting up, actually selling something is a whole other story.

There are massive, massive regulatory barriers to entry across all entities, gleefully being added to on a weekly basis by the incumbent’s and the government working together to ensure no one else gets a snout at the trough.

From the Department of Looking After Us All:

A last-minute bid to impose strict rules on a released terrorist who wanted to attack the federal police’s headquarters nearly failed because Attorney-General Mark Dreyfus’s legal officers did not have a case ready until three days before the Islamic extremist was set to go free.

Ghazzawy, who previously committed to “violent jihad”, spent much of the weekend enjoying his new-found freedom in the suburbs of Sydney with many friends and family dropping in.
