Lizzie to Duk:
Well done Lizzie, you disagree with me and you state your reasons …. thats what this forum should be about – much better than simply thinking that labelling me antisemetic constitutes a robust rebuttal – the Duk takes you off his ‘reflexive accusers’ list, and back onto his ‘worth engaging with’ list.

I’ve mentioned before that the IDF do posthumous promotions for soldiers who are killed.
I think it is about always but not certain.
JC Yes, most 1950s kids in Melbourne had that experience. The cafeteria in Myers was the high point of my experience on these infrequent shopping excursions. In more recent years I read that the cakeshop in Swanston Street, near Flinders Street, was the primary pick joint for lesbians. No reflection on your mum of course.
In the early 60s, I saw a lot of Swanston Street as a trammie on te lines that ran into the south-east.

Javier Milei’s First Day in Office – Reduce the Size of Government
“Argentina’s new President, Javier Milei, is making headlines around the world for vowing to radically change Argentina’s failing political system. Milei campaigned on implementing a “chainsaw plan” that would swiftly cut useless bureaus that drain government resources with no or minimal benefit to the public. Milei stuck to his campaign promises and slashed the number of federal agencies from 18 to 9.
The reduction in the size of the government reflects Milei’s proactive approach and sets a precedent for the drastic measures he deems necessary to overcome Argentina’s economic challenges. The ministries that remain include Interior, Foreign Relations, Defense, Economy, Justice, Security, Health, and the recently created Ministry of Human Capital, which consolidates several previous ministries. Mileni cut agencies such as the Ministry of Women Genders and Diversity, which he believed existed as leftist pet projects.
Inflation is quickly rising close to 200%, and over 40% of the population lives below the poverty line. The nation’s net foreign currency reserves are estimated at negative -$10,000,0000. The International Monetary Fund (IMF) and some private creditors expect a large payment by the end of January to the tune of $4 billion. “There is no money,” the new president said before Congress. “The outgoing government has left us on track towards hyperinflation,” Milei said. “We are going to do everything we can to avoid such a catastrophe.”
Milei rightfully believes that the country is close to collapsing. He has an unnerving task ahead of him as major changes are necessary to reverse years of policies that ruined a nation. Imagine choosing to allocate funds to a diversity panel while nearly half the country is food insecure. Reducing the size of government is a guaranteed way to cut expenses and useless regulations that do not benefit the people.”

Gab has a life that doesn’t include the need to be online every day — much to the bemusement of politics junkies like me.
Hi, Gab!
Duk – On the insurgency thing I think the IDF has a better handle on such than anyone other than the Russians. And no one in the West can do the Russia thang (see: Chechnya).
What appears to be in train is what I’ve outlined previously. Destroy all opposition. Raze everything standing to rubble. Leave. Then let the ferals live in tents on a bare plain.
Not much you can do in a tent.
And that is how you defang an insurgency without doing the Russian option. Which also works, but only if you have the press on your side.
An insurgency only works if you are there to be insurgencied against. If you aren’t there they can’t do it to you. The key is for them to be left without a pot to piss in. In a tent.
A few more of them released on the world yesterday via UniMelb. A solid cohort of ‘International Journalism’ grads as well. As mentioned on old Fred, mostly minority group of Aus girlies. Which should surprise absolutely no one.

I fail to understand how bike lanes encourage anyone to go out to dinner or shop in the CBD, no-one over 25 is going to cycle home at 11pm with a new dining suite. Hence the eating places and stores are closing down and moving out. How can they not see this?

The other day I made a remark about Chris Minns. I think it was Vicki who disagreed with me. I stand by my comment about Chris Minns being a pretty, vacuous and very useless puppet. He was an acceptable face for NSW Labor after a succession of disastrous NSW Labor leaders. That, combined with the fact that the NSW Liberals government was a tired twelve year old government, helped Labor win in March.
Minns does talk a good talk, but he does not walk that talk. He mutters condemnation of the Jew hatred running amok in this state however here’s the blunt truth, his government has directly contributed to this rampant Jew hatred, it started when the corpses scattered across southern Israel were still warm, with the disgraceful events on the steps of Sydney Opera House on the night of 9 October 2023.
Since then, it’s gotten progressively worse. Every week we have seen festivals of Jew hatred on our CBD streets, and what happens? Minns mutters some words but nothing happens, the Jew hatred continues.
Of course, a compliant media never holds Labor to account, federally or state. Meanwhile, NSW Labor are directly engaged in fomenting Jew hatred. The most recent example was last night at Waverley Council when the Liberals councillors put up a motion to condemn the Greens deputy leader, Mehreen Faruqi over her recent antisemitic stunt…BUT Labor and Greens councillors teamed up to remove any condemnation of the Greens.
So, there you have it. I’ll believe Chris Minns is sincere about Jew hatred when he takes steps to stop the Jew hatred that is running amok in his party, until then he just a good sweet talker.

I have often wondered whether Helen (pretty sure that was her name) is still on the land. She made me cry during the drought of 2017-9 when she lamented that an old cow had died just before the rains came. I really identified with that. I was desperate to keep our little herd alive & was distraught when our Ag supplier said he couldn’t get any more hay. As it turned out, we managed to get some big bales further afield. Ultimately, the rains came (big time!) & we didn’t lose an animal.
But my mind could somehow see the ragged old cows in Helen’s paddock.

I tend to agree, but the problem is, the West has made the ‘mistake’ of seeding a sizeable, and growing, Islamic population into their midst. They breed at higher rates than the domestic population, often aided by the welfare state, which means ‘leaving’ is no longer an option, the enemy is within the wire.

It was me, Cassie, who defended Minns. I did so because I thought the actual words he spoke at the rally for Israel were quite incredible for a Labor politician. I agree that he needs to take his Police Minister aside with strict guidelines on how far “free speech” & the right to assemble is exercised in NSW. I am hoping that he is moving behind the scenes while trying not to upset the horses on the far Left.
Perhaps I am being naive.

Vicki, no, you’re not naive, you’re hopeful, there’s nothing wrong with that, but I’m right about Chris Minns, he’s a pretty puppet, used by the left to win the election back in March. If he was serious about Jew hatred, he’d censure people in his own party and he has not done this.
But that’s fine, next time the left attack a conservative politician for the sin and folly of wearing a Nazi uniform to a fancy dress party in that conservative politician’s youth, the conservatives, instead of cowering and whimpering in the corner like they always do, instead of apologising like they always do, should instead grow a spine, stand up straight and point the finger back at Labor, the Greens and the left in general about the REAL NAZIS that infest the ALP and Greens.

Dr Duk – That’s moving the goal posts. I was answering you about how to deal with asymmetrical warfare.
The problem in Iraq and Afghanistan is the US stayed there. Us too, including your much persecuted self. If we’d all left there wouldn’t’ve been a problem. You have to be in range for a feral with an AK-47 to be a danger.
The better approach is to flatten everything then leave. If they don’t get the message the first time do it again. After a few repeats the head men decide that Friday isn’t an auspicious day to hijack an American Airlines jet. Or etc. They do rather dislike their stuff being MOABed.
In Afghanistan I’ve said a few times that what the US should’ve done is to build a reinforced concrete wall with watchtowers around every village in the country and give the head man a swag of AK’s and ammo and IR headpieces. That would’ve kept the Taliban from sneaking in after dark and doing what they did to insufficiently pious individuals.
But the US couldn’t do that since the regime in Kabul could not then control a thousand independent fortified villages who were armed to the teeth. But that’s what they should’ve done, since if the ordinary people could defy the Taliban there’d be no way a serious insurgency, not 9/11 style mass terrorism operation could be sustained.
The best answer to centralized fascist/theocratic government is decentralized armed-to-the-teeth local government, ie the Swiss model.

I don’t think the IDF are flattening everything though they are flattening everything they have linked to Hamasandco.
here is the best version:
https://www.amazon.com.au/Abridged-Koran-Islamic-Trilogy/dp/0978552849/
verses put back in to order, repetition removed and historical context added. Everyone should read it
Define “put out” in that context.
Unless it is on broadcast TV, only people who want to see the gore will see it.
I don’t think the choice is as clear cut as you make it.
(Language warning!)
Just reading a brief description saying that some women had been shot in both eye sockets was enough to conjure up a horrid image. I would not want to actually see that. Happy to invoke “chain of trust” principle and accept other people have seen the evidence – like it was secret intel or something.
The WW2 films of bodies being bulldozed into trenches wouldn’t have quite the same impact due to being grainy, B&W, and impersonal.
The other hazard is that it may be so unthinkably horrific that people will use that as the argument it is invented propaganda.
Perhaps this is merely why it should not be shown on broadcasts, but the chain-of-trust can be broadened by making it available for stream/download.
The current Israeli government is a united war cabinet of parties from all sides of politics.
About the only ones dissenting are the far left and the Israeli Arabs.
Which says everything you need to know about the disgraceful cretin in the White House.
Groog’s moments were few and far between. He was no Hammy.
Rosie – It was mentioned this morning that between 58 and 71% (iirc) of northern Gaza has been functionally destroyed. Checking on the stories there’s a wide range of estimates about such things, but it’s clear the IDF is physically demolishing as much as they can. We had footage posted on the Cat of them taking down an undamaged building with a big backhoe a few weeks ago. Might even’ve been a tweet you linked, I can’t remember.
I would love that they could bulldoze every bit of building material into the Mediterranean Sea, but doing that for a city the size of Gaza is a very big logistical exercise. It will be interesting to see what compromise option they settle onto.
now we’re getting somewhere
it’s my belief that part of the whole “Israel, you can’t do that” movement is nothing but a shaming play

That doesn’t negate my point that the IDF are only targeting hamas infrastructure. I didn’t say there wasn’t an awful lot of it.
And of course if Hamas choose to take over an otherwise innocent building to fight from, it then becomes a legitimate target.
This is the most I can stomach:
Body of Israeli Hostage Killed in Gaza Used by Hamas in Disturbing Propaganda Video [GRAPHIC]
That these type of videos are made, indicates that h@m@s is not simply occupied with defending ‘their territory and their people.’
apparently Israel has a plan for Gaza.
We’ll see. I think the Argentinians realise they’ve run out of OPM & their options are limited.
Arguably the UN process has prevented parties (predominantly countries) from “winning” wars for some time. The defeat of the Tamil Tigers is the most recent exception I can think of. It sets the scene for permanent monitoring and peacekeeping.
You are still NOT addressing the survival of the Israeli people. If you are convinced that Israel as a nation is doomed, what happens to the current population? Are they expected, a la Goldfinger, to die? Or should there be a plan to move them elsewhere? Or have you decided that the whole non-Muslim world is doomed anyway, so the timing of the deaths is insignificant?
It is, to me, an essential follow on to your conclusion, yet you seem unwilling to address it. Why?
Can anyone explain to me why Channel Ten is defending the Lehrmann action?
They have that uber-idiot Llewellyn on tape admitting two critical things.
Identification of Lehrmann. I initially thought Ten might – just maybe – be able to build a defence around the fact that they specifically didn’t name Lehrmann.
However, today we here the tape of Llewellyn telling Britnah and Fatso Sharaz that it would be dead easy to figure out who it was. In fact, Ten added a critical snippet to The Perject report that Sam Maiden did not include in her report earlier in the day. That is, that the accused staffer “transferred with Reynolds from her previous portfolio”. The number of men who transferred with Reynolds? Precisely one … Lehrmann.
Reckless Disregard for Defamation Law. Again, Llewellyn is on tape telling the Exuding Power Couple not to worry about defamation because Lehrmann’s character would be tarnished by being labelled a rapist. Remember, there was no certainty a criminal complaint would be made or charges laid at this point. So how could Llewellyn be certain that Lehrmann’s reputation be tarnished? Unless he knew that Lehrmann’s name would make it’s way into the public domain.
In my opinion, Ten is screwed and I don’t know why they are pursuing it. It’s not as if they are doing it to placate their star recruit, Cane Toad.

Roger, the Argies have been going backwards since the 1930s. As a commentator has previously noted the only thing that might stop them is loss of access to international debt markets. The Econtalk podcast had an episode how the locals adapt to persistently high inflation. As Australians we take most of this for granted and would not fare as well I expect.

The simple truth is that there aren’t enough caves to shelter us all. You can only fit so many people into Jenolan Caves, Wombeyan Caves, Yarangobilly Caves et al.
It’s because right wing leaders try and govern for everybody rather than isolate and persecute their enemies.
If we start having blackouts, any conservative government that focuses load shedding on Green/Teal electorates will get 90% of the vote.
It’s astonishing really because a conservative government only needs to give left wing voters what they say they want and there would cease to be left wing voters.
Draw me a war: How AI fakes Israel’s war against Hamas
The use of AI image generators has become increasingly popular and now supporters of Hamas are taking advantage of it to try and display a false reality to the world
For the record, the $2.4m figure wasn’t a personal estimate, nor chosen at random.
Arky, I noticed the same in November last year when I visited Melbourne CBD. It reminded me of some parts of Singapore.
We’ve had this conversation before.
2 metres of fencing wire braided 3 times. Belt ‘im across the back.
Bruce Pascoe recommends except effing whitey destroyed all the fencing wire factories at Botany Bay – only inferior whitey stuff available.
Saw 20,000% inflation in Bolivia. Its quite a shock to see stray bank notes lying in the street & not worth picking up while one USD$ buys a brick of notes.
Also money changers outside every bar/restaurant/cafe who change from USD to local so you can pay at the start because it costs more by the time you get to desert & coffee.
Mad Monetary Theory in action.
Marginally better than MontyPox but it’s a close run thing. Ed does occasionally post something that makes sense.
I even upticked him once.
It will be in the millions. Channel 10 will need to be seen to be punished for destroying a man with zero due diligence or even genuine right of reply.
Astonishing they haven’t settled. What are their lawyers thinking telling them to keep going? These are the sorts of trials that could effectively end the career of a KC.
What is it with AI generated images and the incessant need to have an extra finger?
Serious question. I mean, it’s (groan all you will, it’s too late now!) handy for picking fakes, but why?
Des Deskperson.
Unis are a double edged sword for cities. Notre Dame has basically swallowed the West End of Fremantle and City of Perth making much of ECU opening a campus in Northbridge. The buildings remain well preserved and used but there is a serious crowding out effect. Hospital precincts have a similar effect.
Fairly and reasonably, you say?
How is that going?
Oh.
That.
Prickly bitch.
Jeez, how would you go being married to that?
😀
Cassie – you and I are so righty we think Margaret Thatcher is a bit wet. Mark was spokesman for Bibi for a very long time. I loved his stuff. Now he’s in charge of a think tank, but he’s doing fine service for his country as an emeritus spokesguy.
Confused Old Misfit
When I worked there a couple of decades ago, the uni of Melbourne pretty much owned everything within a couple of blocks of the actual campus one way or another. I don’t imagine it would’ve changed much, unless they’d acquired more.

Bar Beach Swimmer,
I finally got to send you some pics of Dr Who. Were you able to open them?
This ship appears to be going under and may drag down several protagonists with it.
I am still waiting for the faire damsel to shriek in distress and faint away in court like the wronged, performative maiden she has been playing until now. Possibly it will happen when Lisa dumps on her in Court tomorrow.
Popcorn and drinks at the ready for a big day in Court.
Having a mind hung up on stereotypes was pointed out in earlier assessments of your opions. Your views are stories about cardboard caricatures. You’re unable to respond to questions from others asking what Israelis should do in your tightly scripted single theme scenario because a variation of your story line would entail amending your stereotype charicatures.
My very best wishes, calli, to you and yours as you farewell your beloved Dad tomorrow. Praying that the Almighty provides you with much strength for successful peacekeeping.
In my experience it’s not so much about learning to live without them, but about finding our way to live within the love they have left behind.
Firstly, I am not “so righty”.
Secondly, I know Mark’s history, and I know he worked for Bibi but he’s no “righty”.
Serious question. I mean, it’s (groan all you will, it’s too late now!) handy for picking fakes, but why?
I think it’s a deliberate sop, a get-out-of-jail clause which does not detract from the immediate impact.
That’s why the make-believe birds in pixelcuties.com have extra limbs… but never extra nostrils

I wonder how many of them think they have a better chance of getting married in the US than China.
Motelier?
They’ve acquired a hell of a lot more. It’s the reason I figure they don’t need any alumni donations from me. I fling the never ending stream of begging letters* into the round filing cabinet in the corner.
*Also a waste of good money.
Mr. Deskperson beat a retreat from Catallaxy sometime during the great covid-19 fiasco.
The departure may not have been entirely amicable.
Good Lord. That’s not what the ADF is for.
The recruitment ads say it’s about women playing rugby at Duntroon and stuff.
I’m remembering the ad that proclaimed “MY Army gives me all the time I want with my children.”
Back in the days when the A.D.F. was a mildly alcoholic gang of heavily armed sex maniacs, one of the ouens put in for compassionate leave, because his wife was due to give birth, and he wanted to be there to support her.
He was told he had been present at the conception of said child, and that was enough….
Crash Craddock:
Yep he’s right. The message has been delivered so the Pakistani Prick doesn’t have to do fark all with his shoes. Damage is done.
Now what if there was a bloke in the side who had such strident views on Israel? A Star Of David emblazoned on the shoes?
I well remember a Jewish footy player, Sheezel for Norf Melbourne being celebrated with a flag being flown. Were a few callers into talk back radio voicing their disgust at the politicisation.
Can’t pick and choose the outrage Crash. One or the other.
P, yes. And I for you!
This is special….

The difference between “All lives are equal” and “All lives matter” is racism, if you were wondering
He’s worked for the Israeli Trump for what, a couple decades? Heh.
I have great admiration for Mr Regev. His repartee with the species homo journalistii was a marvel to observe and enjoy, with popcorn.
Very interesting. Thanks.
(I had thought I was a somewhat discerning viewer (lighting, shadows, the shape and direction of smears on the face), but I didn’t even notice the fingers on the child’s hand, even though Perplexed told me to look there! We see what we want to see, don’t we?).
I am appreciating your flow of Twatter/X posts, thank you Rosie.
Geriatric Mayfly.
I am trying, with no success, to get Dok Duk to answer the logical flow-on question after his statement that Israel has no secure long term future.
Astonishing they haven’t settled. What are their lawyers thinking telling them to keep going? These are the sorts of trials that could effectively end the career of a KC.
Nope. its standard practice: milk the mark for as much as possible, telling them they are winning, then switch stories at the last minute to ‘you need to settle this’.
when duk speaks, I don’t hear ” Israel has no secure long term future”
at all
Brisvegas. George Street, to be precise.
Derros on most corners, although not as bad as Perth CBD. Too early to tell if they’re all Poms as well.
Why won’t our intelligence agencies investigate the origins of the coronavirus?

That ad sticks in the mind – the first time I saw it, was the day I collected my Gold Card from the Post Office…

GreyRanga, earlier:
No, I will not be sampling the ‘delights’ of the ex-Mrs KD. That poisonous swamp donkey has since relocated to Rockhampton or Gladstone or some other CQ hellhole.
In any event, the proper question would be to ask whether she would be enjoying my delights.
To which the answer would still be no. Although and to be fair, if she was within range I might have pegged a few rocks at it.
Watch out when Blackout Bowen begins treating your country as his own. He’ll be destabilising the UAE’s power grid next.

Because they knew all along and none of them got the jab.
I also wish to note my appreciation at this juncture for the posters who maintained updates on the latest Brih-nee saga.
Extremely informative. And funny. Thank you.
I am trying, with no success, to get Dok Duk to answer the logical flow-on question after his statement that Israel has no secure long term future.
And you are refusing to accept my answer: I don’t have a solution for this that includes the survival of Israel – given they need to win *every* battle to survive, forever, in a world where they rely on western support, which is fading – at some point they lose and Israel goes away. The forces arrayed against them are simply too strong and too persistent. Why do you thing I am obliged to conjure up a solution that ignores that? At some point, IHMHO sooner rather than later, Israel loses its struggle for existence.
Israel has only existed as a nation since 1948, jews will persist after Israel doesn’t – unless they pull the Sampson option – it was ever thus.
I know Mark Regev, but that doesn’t count in BoN’s mind.
at some point they lose and Israel goes away.
And that’s what the crank wants, for Israel to “go away”.
You are still NOT addressing the survival of the Israeli people. If you are convinced that Israel as a nation is doomed, what happens to the current population?
Do I really have to spell it out? If Israel is overwhelmed, they either move or live as dhimmis or die.
Pop quiz: what happened to the Jewish population of Iran, Egypt, Afghanistan, Syria, Lebanon etc etc after they became Islamic nations?
PS: I have worked in Iraq, Afghanistan, Kuwait and Indonesia…
Hear this….
Israel will never go away
Despite what cranks, loons and anti-Semites want to happen.
Anyway, “Sliante” to you mob. I’m pouring myself the first Lagavulin 16 year old I’ve had in some time.
I’m in my local grogshop this morning. Parking is at a premium. Car pulls up, taking up two parking spaces. Driver, and passenger, both morbidly obese, alight – they need two spaces to give them enough space to get out of the car…
After Llewellyn threw himself and his employer under the bus, one might suspect Chrysanthou’s job would be relatively straightforward. That might significantly depend on whether her client is motivated by self preservation or redemption.
Chrysanthou wants to call Cash & Reynolds CoS.
