I’m being honest in saying this. In all the years I’ve interacted on this blog, I’ve never encountered someone as truly evil sounding as you. Your language is demonic. Don’t use drugs, or see a shrink as it hasn’t worked. See a priest who performs exorcisms. Try it, try anything because you really sound like one freaking, ugly evil creep.

The rest of the time, he seems to be, to me, an advanced case .. but, I don’t know a lot about it, I just remember how mum went towards the end. (she wasn’t prone to ranting though)
I found this link late last night (unfortunately for my night’s rest) and am reposting it for those who might have missed it. It’s well worth viewing and the least we can do is help disseminate it as he asks.
I’ve long since realised that what we’re facing is genuine evil but to hear it set out in such a clear and uncompromising fashion is still disturbing. It’s heartbreaking for him, but also for us, the real targets. Heroes come in all shapes and sizes.

Australia’s defence sector hit by workforce crisis
EXCLUSIVE
By ben packham
Foreign Affairs and Defence Correspondent
6:37PM January 28, 2024
No Comments
Australia’s $43bn defence sector is facing a workforce and confidence crisis that threatens the nation’s AUKUS plans, with half of the industry struggling to attract and retain staff and a third fearing they could go to the wall.
There is no way that Australia can build a Nuclear powered submarine or even service one.
After church this morning, the family went over to Strathalbyn for The Cup meeting. Sadly, an apprentice jockey fell from her horse in the first race. After a long delay she was heloed to Adelaide and is now in a coma. The races were subsequently cancelled.
Much gossip around the track re: her condition, because everyone knows everyone in these small country meets. Having been reimbursed for his wagers, Son happily declared that it was the first time he’s walked from a race track with several hundred pineapples in his pocket.
Serious question.
It has often been mentioned the Australian indig physiology poses a problem in coping with alcohol. No doubt medical Cats have explained why, but I’ve since forgotten.
Such is understandable for the first few generations post European arrival, but is there a point after X number of generations of interbreeding and the dilution of indig genetics, at which it might be said the ‘whitey drugs us’ justification diminishes?
JC
Jan 28, 2024 6:54 PM
Once again, I’m bored shitless with you, JC.
Bwahaha English is not JC’s strong point is it? He doesn’t understand mockery and I will mock this ghoul at every opportunity
JC, FOAD. NOW.
The US Studies Centre has warned Australia is unprepared to meet AUKUS’s biggest challenge – developing the skilled workforce that will be needed to build and operate a fleet of nuclear-powered submarines.
So Tennis Elbow, Dim Chalmers and Blackout Bowen where is your solution? Along with the Cost of Living thingy.
Wot’ Baat’ your Union Mates? Do they know what to do? No, I didn’t think so.
Morise. Last time Crazy K was talking about acid baths, now it’s about shooting? It’s actually quite worrying. Reckons it keeps press clippings. I might seek some advice as this appears to be way over the top obsessive.
Gee, who saw that coming? The ADF leadership is full of woke seat-warmers who’ve never won a war.
err, what were we talking about again, I ashks ya? 😕
It’s certainly not Tongues and random vomiting. Kez.
Mockery isn’t the same as talking about dreaming about sticking people in acid baths and shooting people, you evil little runt. You need to be tied to a bed and have a priest preform a full exorcism. Failing that, a padded room for life.
Nuclear .. Labor people all clutch their pearls, faint and need a week to recover every time the word is mentioned.
The obsession with building things here for defence is what gets us in trouble, we simply can’t do much more than make a few small, simple things and that’s it.
A warship is beyond us these days and a submarine way out of our league.
Mind you, if we get things built overseas, just buy them off the shelf, don’t “Australianize” them, that also gets us in trouble – Seasprite helicopters as an example.
Defence uniformed branches and CASG, DSTG are riddled with problems and problem people. Companies trying to work with them face a minefield of vested interests, mates deals and self serving. Much business is done overseas to get trips, visits and from those, masses of frequent flyers points, hotel points and such. Nearly all the middle management of defence civilian project areas are Qantas, Platinum for life, frequent flyers.
Local business doesn’t get you perks like that mate!
Every big RAAF purchase is 100% overseas and then stacks of civilian and uniformed people go to the USA (Always the USA) for years sometimes to project manage the military sales with 20+ years of follow on support contracts.
When Albo talks about investing in defence, I suspect it means buying more off-the-shelf stuff from the Americans, like missiles. That’s what the vested interests in defence will advise him to do .. just watch.
You overlooked Steely Dan.
I hate LinkedIn so I have vested interest in Trump winning with costs on several rounds of appeals.
‘Bragging’ again, Delta A. Dear me.
Of course you are not. You are simply sharing some aspects of life here.
As many do, about lots of things.
Who, for the most part, don’t get finger waggings for doing so.
JMH, you say you can scoll, so do so, quietly if possible, without disturbing others. As for the illiberal downtickers, clearly you can read, even if it is only names carefully mouthed out syllable by syllable, but why not just try scrolling? Far less taxing for your less than nimble minds.
What does Kevin know about the upcoming POTUS election?
If the Linkedin fat slob is just funding it, Trump go after him, can he?
I agree, it’s a shame that there isn’t a modern multi role fighter produced in a great city like Prague, Budapest or Vienna.
Our hard workin’ public serpents need something to motivate them other than their woefully low pay packets.
:devil face:
Cap’n Carbon and the Climateers register an ignominious defeat against “a team that is barely test standard” to see out Cheetee McSook‘s long overdue walk into irrelevance and disgrace.
It’s sad. My cousin told me about it. He was fairly senior in the Caribbean system of such things, and we were visiting them.
The problem was that Jamaica and the other islands had a choice: to go with the BBC or to go with American TV. The US twisted their arms, so they went with US television.
That is exactly when Windies cricket started to decline.
I played cricket with his son in their backyard in Kingston. Dad is no longer with us sadly, but son is a well respected international policy wonk nowadays. I wonder if he remembers that afternoon?
West Indies just drew the series 1 – 1 after winning the second test to the current world no. 1 team.
The death of West Indian cricket is reported much prematurely.
Agree, old bruce, but with a caveat – our history & culture have been influenced by what has transpired on the north American continent…since the beginning, in fact. If the American revolution hadn’t happened the British might never have made good on their claim to the continent.
I agree, it’s a shame that there isn’t a modern multi role fighter produced in a great city like Prague, Budapest or Vienna.
However there are helicopters made in the south of France, hence the ARH Tiger and MRH-90 Taipan debacles. We spent $4.5 bill on the latter and it never performed to spec. and now we are burying them. The Norwegians bought some from Airbus Helicopters and want their money back.
To paraphrase the Lebowski (big as he is): “I forking hate steely dan, man” …

You get the feeling he’d rather the red ink for himself over the win.
I should have provided a Peak Hair ‘n’ Flares warning with that one.
Wonderful ending to the Test match. Young blood bowler from West Indies triumphs. Smith fails to redeem. Somehow it is right.

Paris was supposed to have been the big lure, when the R.A.A.F. brought the Mirages…
I knew someone who had input into that decision. He told me that the evaluation team thought that the Mirage was likely easier and safer than the F-104. The Israelis proved the Mirage in air to air combat well and truly. Pity ours didn’t have good missiles for most of its time in service.
I think there might be a copy in the Fisher Library basement.
I used to have a room there during my first Teaching Fellowship in the 60’s, Bruce.
Ah, Fisher Library. I didn’t have a room, but often commandeered one of the research rooms when writing up parts for my doctorate. Also remember Stack from my undergrad years. There was big (really big!) Russian book stacker called “Alex” in those days. A real sweetie & very helpful.
As the years went on & I had a baby daughter those wonderful hours of solitary study were but a memory. Now I had a little one to bring on the train, try to keep her occupied (female librarians helped!) while I madly photocopied what I needed. I would then take her for a little treat from the vending machine…..seems very sad these days when treats are more grandiose.
I was concentrating on the musicianship too much to notice, really.
I believe not long after that clip Steely Dan stopped performing live and Jeff “Skunk” Baxter (the guitarist on the left) joined The Doobie Brothers.

“I knew someone who had input into that decision. He told me that the evaluation team thought that the Mirage was likely easier and safer than the F-104.”
The performance of the F-104 in the Luftwaffe was not encouraging
That said, I heard a RAAFie say that with a full ordnance load, the Mirage could “bomb the end of the runway” but not much more.
Here:
https://armstrongecmscam.blogspot.com/p/where-and-how-to-complain.html
Posers indeed.
Yesterday they bowled three (3) over spells because too hot.
This kid comes out and bowls 10-12 overs on the trot with a broken toe and runs through the (alleged) best batting line up going around.
The bowling spell by Shamar Joseph was one of the best I have ever seen. He bowled for 11.5 overs straight, took 7/68 and won the match for the West Indies. He was named man of the match and man of the series. He took 5 wickets in the first innings of the first test including getting Steve Smith with his first ball in test cricket. A phenomenal debut.
It was also great to see his captain just keep him on for that match-winning spell. Also note that if his toe wasn’t broken, it was obviously sore as he limped back to his mark (he’d copped a Starc sandshoe crusher the night before). That wouldn’t happen in the modern Australian team, where they are more worried about ‘workload’ and ‘managing injuries’.
It was a great test match and I’m sure most Aussies were barracking for the young West Indians by the end (I was). I hope this creates momentum for them, because world cricket is so much better with a strong West Indies team.

Junior Cretin where are you? Don’t be shy.
Here you go P, I listened to this sermon on exactly that passage last Sunday. Today I did the next sermon in the series from Mark 1:29-46.
He may like to think he’s a bully, JR but he’s not. He’s a pathetic, insecure excuse for an adult. Mock him at every opportunity. He will not learn from his errors, of course, but we will derive unlimited comedy value whilst he continues to attack. without validation, contributors to this blog.
Thanks Cassie for saying nice things about Hairy. They are all true about this most modest and humble man of true distinction. But even if he was not nice (heaven forbid) the point I was making, as someone in the know, was about how hard he’s worked for his senior academic credentials. Just like others known here. I also pointed out how PhDs are handed out for some very ridiculous things these days; no effort needed at all, just DEI credentials. He’s calling me now to do some chips in the frypan. But here I am, bragging about him again. 🙂
This Neo-Nazi stuff on TV is the most fake, lamest and gayest shit ever.
Unfortunately the media here and in every western society controls the narrative (on everything) and I think the majority of viewers and readers believe them.
We suffer a dearth of people with the intellect and capacity to think for themselves and see through the rot…

Get help. Anyone who talks about press clippings, sticking people in acid baths, fantasizes about shooting folks. Call the number and see a priest.
And fraternizing with a lowrent crook isn’t going to help with the demons inside. He’s just going to make things worse for you.
That wouldn’t happen in the modern Australian team, where they are more worried about ‘workload’ and ‘managing injuries’.
You forgot something else they’re worried about….
‘wokeload’.
I was doing grade 6 in Germany(Ludwigshafen) in 71/72. It was not unusual to see multiple flights of Starfighters every single day, so they were flying the sheisse out of them. I have vague memories of the news coverage of crashes.

JC, I am utterly bored with your vitriol. Now do us all a favour and FOAD. There’s a good chap.
Australia’s $43bn defence sector is facing a workforce and confidence crisis that threatens the nation’s AUKUS plans, with half of the industry struggling to attract and retain staff and a third fearing they could go to the wall.
Confidence in the entire ADF process from advertising, recruiting, selection, training, manning, strategy, equipment mix suffered it’s greatest setback that I can remember when Marise Payne was appointed Minister in 2015 by the maggot, Turnbull and kept there by Morrison until 2018 and replaced by the moron Pyne… there is no coming back from their policies and mistakes…
From the suburb that cops the most rain in Sydneystan* and which is home to various exclusive Schools – see for example, pedro fitzsimians, mike “beached whale” carlton and various other sanctimonious hypocrites I’m beyond attempting to identify.
Fake. Not real. A figmention. Imagined. Phoney. Counterfeit. A hoax. A sham. Fraudulent.
Are we getting it yet, you braindead meeja f*#ks?!
*Due to its elevation. Funnily enough, my ol’ man’s professional confreres back in the seventies all seemed to exist there, while practicing in Bankee. My ol’ man, to his credit, was not into commuting for three hours a day and settled for the twenty minutes either way between home and office. Even if we were mercilessly looked down on by the Turramurra snobs. 🙂
Wasn’t the Luftwaffe losing F-104’s with monotonous regularity?
They got the F-104G which was a heavier fighter-bomber version with more electronics. Combine with poor, polluted European weather and low level missions, inexperienced young pilots and the loss rate wasn’t surprising. They did have a deep re-think and got the loss rate to be no worse than other supersonic jets of the time.
Seems we lost 40 of our Mirages in accidents out of 114 delivered in 24 years. Great fun but dangerous beasts.

Zulu, if you have the time, watch this vid interview on why they had problems and how most of the F104 problems were mitigated and/or fixed.
Goes for 46:00 mikes:
Interview with Arnulf Hartl on the F-104 Starfighter
Arnulf Hartl is a former German Air Force F-104 and F-4F Pilot. The main focus of the interview is his time on the F-104, which includes training, front line squadrons, stories and being an instructor.
Like your new found team mate, he makes serious threats against people. Like this:

Mark 1: 29-39
Just back from visiting family. Grandson 3 grilled me for 4 hours about everything, didn’t stop the whole time except to listen to a metal music clip he likes. He doesn’t have many answers yet just questions, followed by more questions to understand fully. He went to a chocolate shop yesterday. First time he’s had real chocolate. He calls it shocklit. Daughter says she is not going to be able to palm off Cadbury any more. I see I missed the carbin cricket club pull up short. Yeehaa. Lucky they were only playing a second string team.
Thanks, Beery, I’ve bookmarked it for later viewing.
Scrolling, scrolling, scrolling.
Wodney, it’s generally not a good idea to be interacting with Leavenworth convicts as we saw with the death threat he’s made. That doesn’t remove one iota of fact that the whole thing is a scam and you’re spamming the site with terrible junk from an unrepentant con artist.
It’s not as though we don’t challenge the bullshit bilge you post there by Marty. We don’t just challenge it. We laugh at it .. and you.
He’s a crook and so are you.
Bang at the 33 minute mark!

All I know is about what I’ve observed over the years as an RN, Billie.
But to me, Biden is progressing along the clinical trajectory in a normal fashion except sometimes he has episodes of lucidity. What that is due to, I don’t know, but as a betting man, my suspicions point me in the direction of pharmaceutical intervention.
The aggression and threats is typical of the middle to late stage where he’s aware of the frustrations of his condition.
I’d say he’ll end up losing it bigtime, violently, in public and in front of cameras.
Lets just hope he doesn’t do it with the nuclear football to hand.

How about challenging Mr. Martin Armstrong directly and coming back here with the responses.
You moan and moan and go on about it but never try to do anything about it. You sound just like a moaning pom – you Mafioso fat arse bully you. Get a grip. This is australia.

Dickhead. Evidence?
Actually, Cats – there were bands called the following:
The Beatles
The Eagles
And yet, there was never a band (that I’m aware of) called “the Beagles“.
An outrage, to be sure … 🙂
Grumpy old men rule – and don’t you young roosters ever forget it!
It was a joke, Elizabeth.
One peach, ‘harvested’ from our three year old orchard.
A joke!
One (exceedingly tasty) peach harvested – picked at perfection.
Not much to brag about about: ONE PEACH.
A joke. Get it, Elizabeth?
Baba, I am well aware of how Steely Dan got their name. It was a bit of a lurid giggle back in the day.
But the music is better.
Not a lot of highlights there, to be sure.
A bit like this blog when ruled by database errors and stoushes.
it’s generally not a good idea to be interacting with Leavenworth convicts as we saw with the death threat he’s made.
What death threats you idiot?
How about Cheap Trick? 🙂
A little more blatant.
I often listen to Can’t Buy a Thrill. It’s part of my sewing musical wallpaper.
BoN,
Us Catholics have to wait till next Sunday for the Gospel Reading –
Mark 1: 29-39
The good old Lectionary. Back in the day when I was an Anglican I used it….religiously.
I must admit, there was a shot from the stump camera earlier. I don’t reckon the kid has got an equipment deal. He was wearing what looked like grey Explorer socks and a pair of dirty off-white Adidas runners. Reminded me of those Adidas Rome runners we all coveted back in the ’70’s. I did think they looked a bit flimsy.
Don’t think he will be worried about equipment sponsors now.
Don’t forget counselling sessions for da Voice.
Bunch of fkn prima donnas.
Speaking of which, I heard during the Windies innings that the umps stopped them having unscheduled drinks breaks.
Which would be between overs and not interfere with the flow of play. But Sniffy changes his gloves every second over and they say nothing.
But we rise above it, Rog! 🙂
Time for Junior Cretin’s favourite song –

A bit of crossover between Steely Dan and the Doobies. Michael McDonald and Jeff “Skunk” Baxter. I won’t hear a bad word about either band.
Don’t diss the Doobies. One of my favourites.
Yes, it is, and you should’ve been deported long ago.
Wodney, what could anyone possibly ask that crook that we don’t already know?
He makes claimed that he predicted 911 to the date.
He claimed he predicted the 87 crash to the date.
His prediction record from the piece I’ve linked to shows he has an appalling track record and lies about it.
He claims that the “sentient AI” (Socrates) has been “alive” since 1985.
He claimed at one time to be using a supercomputer that was only available to the US government.
You’re posting this sort of swill, and you want me to ask him questions? Why don’t you justify the above yourself instead of massively downticking negative replies and upticking yours, you two-bit swindler?
Calli, try Television’s debut album Marquee Moon.
Give it a few listens to take, though.
claims .. not claimed.
It’s not about the left or the right or the middle
but I’m goin’ to war
I will not keep it civil.
F*ck them.

Perhaps readers are more than over the bragging. Just a thought (with no malice intended.)
Right, Lizzie. If you cannot comprehend what the words “with no malice intended” means then, Mrs. Bucket, it’s game on. My comment was merely ment as simple advice, which, clearly, you chose to ignore.
Magnifique.

The Johnstone era Doobies & the MacDonald Doobies are two quite different sounds.
I prefer the former. But each to his or her own.

Same here.
We had several on our midget tree, but all except one ended up with some sort of rot.
Might have been too much BoM-rain.
Ooops *meant*
Has AUKUS turned Yemen into glass yet in retaliation for the missile strike on the Marlin Luanda?
I’m not a Doobies connoisseur, Roger. You are a musician, I’m just a listener. It reminds me of the Genesis pre and post Gabriel arguments. I enjoy both kinds of music.
Ever wonder where the money spent on aboriginal affairs goes?
I was sent this NIAA document which outlines the grants in just the first half of 2023.
URL is too long to link but if you search for EC23-001493 it should show up as the NIAA document. For reference I’ve put it at the bottom of this post so you may be able to copy and paste into your browser
It consists of 268 pages of grants, each page has 4 to 10 approvals which total from a few hundred thousand up to $7M per page.
No total is given but from a scan of random pages my guess is that it must average around $3+M per page and the sum total must be in the $1Billion range.
During my working life I’ve had budgets of similar size and I know for a fact that there is no way that the NIAA can assess and then keep track of so many grants.
Tellingly there are only 19 pages of rejected grants, 268 pages of approved ones, FMD!

It’s good fun to annoy a fat arsed short arse Mafioso bully like you.
I see Angry Uncle’s been into the sherry again.
No wonder. I mentioned Gabriel vs. Collins.
It was bound to happen.
Zulu Kilo Two Alpha
Yes. I think that at one stage they were talking about re opening the Me 262 production lines with British engines.

Everyone see it? It’s spewing vomit while doing a 180 head spin. This time he’s on his own and can’t rely on his pile buddies to attack in unison day in and day out.

AUKUS is only a concept. Delivery is a lot harder. Just tell Elbow who is ducking and diving.
The Johnstone era Doobies & the MacDonald Doobies are two quite different sounds.
I prefer the former. But each to his or her own.
Indeed they are. Yet, when I saw them last April in Sydney both eras were on stage and seemed to blend beautifully. When Tom Johnston sang “South City Midnite Lady”, Michael McDonald was playing a mandolin beautifully.
Tongue tied there woddenhead. Can’t defend the rancid swill? You crooked limey piker.
I have a disturbing habit of being momentarily away from the picture wireless when the cricket’s on, and a wicket falls.
Today I happened to be in the air when the West Indies rebirthed themselves into the Test cricket arena, and when a superstar – dare I say it, but in the mould of Marshall, Garner, Patterson, Holding or Clarke – introduced himself to the world stage in spectacular fashion.
Brilliant. Just brilliant, and with an injured foot that would have any bowler in any other team scanned and rested for three months. That boy won’t feel any pain tonight.
The Strayan team are 75% mongs and they’ll be crying salty tears of incredulity into their Heineken Zeros. This was a walk up start, and it turned into the Windies’ first Test win here in 20 years.
Future skipper (yes) Head got our first king pair since Ryan Harris in 2010, which will ultimately do him good.
Watching the hughlights was just like watching Happy Gilmore beat Shooter McGavin.
A great day for the greatest sport of all time.

Are you still here? Why are you not still moaning about that very expensive glass of white wine? You fat arse Tosser.

Stupid iPad.
That’s your prerogative, calli.
Enjoy!
Good call into 2SM talkback today from a security/prison guard/bouncer who was very familiar with the Nazis/bikie gangs. He said these guys were genuine nazis who were readily identifiable by their size (steroids) and tatts. They were also savvy enough not to attract attention to themselves like these pseudo nazis do by travelling by train to sedate suburbs. He said something else was going on given the good behaviour, tacky masks, no or phony arrests and no media follow up.
Good to see Capt climate and his merry band shit themselves against the WI second 11.
Thanks for that, Real Deal.
Alas, I never even realised they were touring here!

You fat arse short arse Mafioso pizza loving Melbum Sictorian Scum. LOL.
Because I’m into self-punishment, I’ve returned to Sabaton’s cover of Motorhead’s ‘1916.’
It’s satisfying to know that in the just over one century since the period portrayed, we’ve moved to a far more equitable society where the male privilege of being slaughtered in the tens of thousands is now actively shared with the other 86 genders.
Good work, Harlequin Decline.
Gosh, I see that person who lives in a big glass house isn’t just throwing big rocks but is now also throwing big threats against Lizzie.
Dear oh dear.
What’s wrong with the occasional pizza, Wodney?
Roger, it’s dark and I’m wearing sunglasses. 😀
phht .
truth is that JC’s infantile gibber gets precisely the attention it deserves
and in true paranoid form the psychopathic mong invents a conspiracy to explain it
now … queue another spazz chuck

S/he/it wishes it lived in a glass house. I get the impression it’s a trailer park, angry at the world it never recognized it’s sheer brilliance. But now needs an exorcist.
I wouldn’t be surprised in the least if it hasn’t been in and out of mental asylums.
The papers tell me Shamar Joseph hadn’t bowled with a hard cricket ball until three years ago. Hadn’t been on an escalator until five years ago.
His village didn’t have the internet until 2019.
He wasn’t born when the West Indies last beat Australia in a Test match.
Such a fantastic story. Tell you what though – this preconception our idiot selectors have about playing around with the top order against ‘junk’ opponents had best be revisited.

You can have a bad weekend.
Friend of ours had a heart attack Saturday evening but luckily his wife noticed he was exhausted and ashen after lifting a few bales of pea straw – straight to the local hospital then off in an ambulance to Bendigo. Stable and awaiting tests but out of ICU and in the wards.
This evening his wife is heading to Bendigo to see him and gets hit by a dickhead who runs a stop sign. Fortunately he hit her in the rear drivers door and the airbags all went off. Shocked and shaken and now she’s in Bendigo Base as well.

‘Twas on on Springvale Road near the Ferntree Gully Road lights one morning last week matching that description. It had been disappeared by lunchtime, although the cable ties are still there. Someone official must have pulled it down as it also had sufficient height to demand a height-assisting device.

At the rate the country is going the ADF won’t be able deploy a naval armada of 20 canoes. The good news is they have consulted Bruce Pascoe and boomerangs are making a comeback. Armoured units will be trained to ride kangaroos and emus and fire slingshots.
However you can be sure millions will be spent evaluating them and Pascoe made a Major General.
The defence of the country is secure as our enemies will quake with fear.
