Most historians now agree that the indictment of the commandant of that camp on war crimes charges was a miscarriage of justice.
Given that many, many western wallies are among the most “well upholstered” individuals to have existed in human history, their gaolers are more likely to starve to death before their prisoners.

Lurking as I did, alongst the second hand dives of Pitt and Castlereagh Sts in the late seventies and early eighties, I often saw copies of Captain Beafheart and Taj Mahal. The album covers were interesting, but I was so poor I could not afford to buy much stuff on spec. No internet then, to look them up.
So instead I bought Pink Floyd and Steeleye Span and Sky. Served just fine, although now I wish I’d gotten into Taj Mahal’s bluest of blues. I had no idea then who he was or what he did.
It’s why I like YouTube, I can listen to these tracks now. Not turning off my adblocker but.
Much good that did him – he was hanged in 1865.

Go Dutch . . .?
The Netherlands, where six per cent of the population is now Muslim, is scrapping multiculturalism.
The Dutch government says it will abandon the long-standing model of multiculturalism that has encouraged Muslim immigrants to create a parallel society within the Netherlands .
A new integration bill, which Dutch Interior Minister Piet Hein Donner presented to parliament on June 16, reads: “The government shares the social dissatisfaction over the multicultural society model and plans to shift priority to the values of the Dutch people”.
In the new integration system, the values of the Dutch society play a central role.
With this change, the government steps away from the model of a multicultural society.
The letter continues: “A more obligatory integration is justified because the government also demands that from its own citizens.”
It is necessary because otherwise the society gradually grows apart and eventually no one feels at home anymore in the Netherlands. The new integration policy will place more demands on immigrants. For example, immigrants will be required to learn the Dutch language, and the government will take a tougher approach to immigrants who ignore Dutch values or disobey Dutch law.
The government will also stop offering special subsidies for Muslim immigrants because, according to Donner;
“It is not the government’s job to integrate immigrants.”
The government will introduce new legislation that outlaws forced marriages and will also impose tougher measures against Muslim immigrants who lower their chances of employment by the way they dress.
More specifically, the government imposed a ban on face-covering, Islamic burqas as of January 1.
Holland has done that whole liberal thing, and realized – maybe too late – that creating a nation of tribes, will kill the nation itself.
The future of Australia, the UK, USA and Canada may well be read here.
READERS NOTE: Muslim immigrants leave their countries of birth because of civil and political unrest .. .”CREATED BY THE VERY NATURE OF THEIR CULTURE.”
Countries like Holland, Canada, USA the UK and Australia have an established way of life that actually works, so why embrace the unworkable? If Muslims do not wish to accept another culture, the answer is simple;
“STAY WHERE YOU ARE!!”
This gives a whole new meaning to the term, ‘Dutch Courage’ … Unfortunately Australian, UK, USA and Canadian politicians don’t have the … guts to do the same. There’s a whole lot of truth here!!!! ELECTIONS are COMING!!!!!

If Trump makes it to the convention, I reckon he will nominate a black man as his VP.
A very cool brother.
IIRC, Their ABC warned Louse Milligan about her use of social media, but she used it anyway, and Their ABC subsequently bailed Seven Nilligan out with lotsa cash.
That is the leg Lattouf seems to be standing on.
Milligan’s legal bills are a hot button issue within the ABC.
So much so that senior journo’s were told that if Milligan lost future cases from her social media adventures, she would have to foot the bill.
However that was quickly shown to be a lie from management aimed at placating the mob.
I look forward to more leaks from the ABC.
Commercial shipping is supposed to be defended by naval AD. They haven’t sunk or injured any ships or crew because they probably only intend to hinder traffic.
No, they have two objectives, one political, putting a price on international support for Israel as well as hindering Israeli trade. The other is to open another front against the US and potentially set up another trap.

Other than Trump no one is as battle hardened as she is.
The trick of picking a VP is to choose someone so utterly frightful that nobody wants to assassinate the president lest the VP get the job.
Which is how we got Kamala.
Apart from ruling out Herschel Walker, it could be anyone.
As long as they are a black man & cool.
The claim suggests that one common culture shared over an enormous geographical area has existed without interruption or change due to natural or human influence, for 60,000-odd years. I suppose they DO have the reconstructed* oral history to prove it?
*I don’t personally object to reconstructed elements being regarded as culturally important (to some extent, ‘western’ cultures are based on myths, for example), but the naked dishonesty in depicting the same as ‘original and authentic’ is unswallowable. As is the fact that a percentage of these reconstructions have been enabled by the European observation and recording of early post-settlement indigenous beliefs and rituals. No, there’s no need to thank our ancestors.
.
That’s right. It’s not a regional battle. They think they can turn the world against Tha Joos then flick them off without anyone caring. The other front is the continuation of the UN demolition of US influence.
.
We need them to fail, and fail miserably and absolutely. For our grandchildren and then their grandchildren.

The hemi engine in the 300C is not a good engine to potter around town with stop start driving. The camshaft sits too high in the block and doesn’t get enough oil on the lobes which leads to premature wear.
Any other quirks? I’m still waiting for the insurance company to make a decision for the 380. As I’ve never owned a V8, I wouldn’t mind one to potter up and down to the Big Smoke with. They need a roo bar though – not for protection – more for the flair, I reckon.
…and a towbar.
Maybe some fluffy dice.

Goose stepping Nazis and Italian fascists looked ridiculous.
Every time I see those poor bloody Nork girls doing that goosestep, I think about how close they are to snapping a tendon, and if that happens, its unrecoverable – literally.
the oldest stagnant culture on the planet riddled with animalist folk tales with less moral foundation than Aesop’s simplistic talking beasts.
They looked ridiculous but left a permanent stain across the whole of Europe. It’s self satisfying to point out how comic they appear, but that’s in no way a valid appraisal of their influence on future tendancies.

That’s an interesting concept. Perhaps a fleet of 5 of those aluminium thingies we’re selling to the US, with a couple of hundred variable payload drones each. Considering the speed they can do, 1 each in Perf, D town and Cairns, and two sitting idle because we can’t get crew for them.

Damn straight, Katzenbloke.
Those mines on the backs of trucks weren’t just for show. They were a very clear message about their ability to block a lot of trade routes.
Same reason I’m against First Nations ideology, Eyrie. Those responsible are long gone.
Who is holding the current British to account for this? Only those British who perpetrated it at the time. Bastards, all over a grab for Boer gold.
Same as you don’t hold current Germans accountable for the crimes of the Nazis.
The guy in the crowd was probably trolling. He’s still worthy of a clip around the ear.

The “it up” is redundant.
The Doomlord might have differed in opinions from strict conservatives (for example in matters such as policy regarding drugs) the world we live in is one dominated by excess government. In such a world at the gery least Libertarians and Conservatives have a common enemy.
In our current state there are no (or few) conservatives demanding conservative values be widely imposed (a la the power of government).
More subtley it seems to me that Libertarians are more focused on the freedoms they have determined we should have, and conservatives mindful of old ideas we should preserve. They aren’t actually opposites. Despite the clunky stereotype of conservatives held by progressives (who never let experience complicate their judgement) conservatism is not a fixed view of the world: a 1970’s and a 2020’s conservative would cleave to different priorities – such as attitudes to gays or the roles of women (conservatives resist the most hairbrained elements of progressive thought and accept change when they think it has proven itself and then conserve that new proven norm).
A 1970’s conservative would likely have had a more biblical image of what their society should be and appear in law while a 2020’s conservative more of an idea that religious belief should be allowed to flourish on its own merit.
It seems to me that Libertarians have a clear vision of what freedom looks like and would happily go to it (it is persuasive) while conservatives who do not have a vision of an end-state want any change to be managed with more caution.
Kind of balances really.
I’m not holding anyone to account, bespoke. I have no idea how you could possibly have reached that conclusion.
Samuel L Jackson
The legend of Mount Coolum is similar. It’s a long time since I read it in a local library, but basically Coolum the warrior kidnapped a woman from a neighbouring tribe, a pursuit ensued, and someone’s head was knocked off with a boomerang, rolling into the sea to create Mudjimba Island. Coolum was turned to stone looking at Mudjimba’s head in the ocean, and someone (I forget who) cried copious tears that became the Maroochy River.
I’ve obviously mangled that, and gotten the names mixed up, but the thread is about greed, revenge and regret.
Sure you may have some plausible deniability but you take everything personal and have no limits, JC.

The hemi engine in the 300C is not a good engine to potter around town with stop start driving.
My daughter has a Chrysler 300SRT 6.4 litre hemi V8 which she keeps locked up in a shed. It has 350kW and 637Nm. It is an absolute brute of a car with very little finesse. She also has an Audi A6 biturbo V6 diesel which is not as powerful but still around 5 sec to 100, so no slouch. The difference in the driving is unbelievable. The Audi is so much better as an all round vehicle but the Chrysler is almost pure excitement to drive because its almost uncontrollable power…
Somewhat, but with all human endeavors there are limitations. Who and why are they being “defended” from?
I provided you with an account of the ships they’ve attacked and the ones thwarted by the US/UK. The attacks have been many.
They fired on a Russian tanker, which I posted about in the earlier this last week.They hit a ship bound for Italy, which they claimed was headed for Israel. It’s indiscriminate.
That goes without saying.
They’re after cash.
Sorry, isn’t the Governor General supposed to take the oath of allegiance to the King?
Lidia Thorpe for Governor General!
There is also Warren Mundine, he would be so a very good job.
he would do a very good job.
(Proofread is my friend)
One of the many, many reasons I wouldn’t want the job. I simply couldn’t bring myself to do it.
If king chas wanted to swear an oath of allegiance to me, I suppose I’d let him, reluctantly. Likewise, I’m quite prepared to grant him an audience if he asks nicely. But that’s as far as it goes.
Sorry, but I can’t take all this medieval crap seriously.
Marcia Langton for Governor General!
Chuck would probably arrive with a decanter of Laphroig, and two glasses.
Yes, he might be ok, but the lefties won’t have him.
I’d be against anybody who was prepared to do the job. Being willing to take the job would be a complete disqualification in my view. It’s a rubbish job. Oh, you might get to sack a prime minister once in a blue moon. But mainly it’s laying foundation stones, snipping tape and unscrewing imaginary light bulbs as you are driven past schoolies. Nobody with an ounce of self respect would have a bar of it.
In that comment you cite I took completely justifiable aim at a lunatic who was hounding me relentlessly. And that was a long long time ago, and it has never ceased since, accompanied by lies and outright doxxing.
It was certainly not directed at the wrong person.
It still isn’t. All the hysterical weeping and wailing in a deliberatly minor key about how misunderstood you are and how everyone should uptick you because you live in a motel and are just an ordinary sort of old girl who is put down by people in the Eastern suburbs (me and Cassie) with more money, well, that’s just nonsense. You have plenty of money from the sale of your house, you should have a good superannuation income from the wonderful public sector job you say you held, and no-one starves in Australia anyway, no matter what sort of a mess they make of their lives.
Get real. You are not genuine, you are obsessed and fixated, and nor are the people who who think you are some icon of plain speaking demonstrating any real acuity. You are, as Cass says, a sad case and the sooner you lay off me, the better it will be for you.

There is a dark humour though in the apparent obsession with baubles and trinkets.
That would incline me favourably. I’d offer him a havana cigar. If he said “no”, I’d smoke two of them.
If I may sign off by demonstrating my own cultural depth and lack of street cred:
Adele – Someone Like You, but it’s pretty emo.
The Houthis, but the point is that Navy ships are screening them with their AD.
Wasn’t denying this, my point was that their attacks appear not to be designed to sink the ships but to make passage through the Red Sea onerous for those being targeted or those ignoring their commands.
It isn’t indiscriminate. Ships are passing through and advertising they are not associated with the targeted countries.
Then why are they falling for the trap?
I really don’t think so.
I don’t dislike the man. I think he’s rather dim, but he can’t help that. And he likes the goon show and has some sort of a sense of humour. So I would be willing to talk to him. And put him straight about the global warming scam.
Exactly so. It’s all for children who haven’t grown up.
Come on now. You all know that we’re going to get Marcia Langton.
