Aotearoaian MPs sworn in fraudulently.
Hiding their disrespect like schoolchildren. Also, substantially rewriting the oaths of office. Surely there’s a clause, when someone stands for election, understanding that their ascendancy is contingent on their swearing fealty, not just making up their own sh*t, and therefore having no oath to keep?

Nicholas Poynder, a Frederick Jordan Chambers barrister and a former senior legal officer with the Human Rights and Equal Opportunity Commission, was reported to the commission following several social media posts condemning Israel and lauding Hamas as “the defender of Palestinians”.

How about the purple haired arse wobblers? Are they kicked off?
I gave up years ago. Have fond memories as a child of the light classics on ABC Melbourne, then the classics on 2FC when parliament didn’t sit. Radio literally welded to ClassicFM from the day it was launched. Could listen to Maree Nicholson and Damien Beaumont for hours reading the phone book. Actually it about when Damien left that I stopped listening.
This one stands out as most useful.

Nick Poynder….
Admitted to the Bar in both Victoria and New South Wales (and maintaining a practice in both jurisdictions), Nick holds a Master of Laws from the University of New South Wales, a Bachelor of Laws (with Honours) and a Bachelor of Arts from the University of Tasmania. He was one of the first migration agents to be registered in Australia.
So he makes his money by assisting illegal immigration.. Biggest customers from middle east and Africa no doubt.

The Oz had an article today about 2 Liberal candidates in TAS.
One is Dr Julie Sladden (Bass) who has been outspoken on vaccine issues. The other was somebody who has been calling out the climate change issue.
Thank you Bourne, I am in the Bass electorate and they are expanding each electorate by two seats at this election so those two may be the new candidates.
BTW, he’s talking about the Trident 2 failing its January test.
Thought today was Thursday and organised myself to visit Palazzo Conte Federico but no, it’s Wednesday and it’s closed.
Tours only at 11 am, by the family, you can also rent rooms here.
My train to Cefalu doesn’t leave til 12.55 tomorrow so I’ll be able to squeak it in. Of course I could go later but my new hosts are meeting me at the station so don’t want to inconvenience them.
Now on the other side of Ballaro, near the palazzo between the market and the ‘palace palace’ anyhow, where I haven’t strolled before.
Drinking freshly squeezed orange and lemon juice in a crummy little square around the corner where the locals, male, are sunning their faces.
Now have to find a different cultural activity for today.

There was indeed a doxxing here on this blog.
I honestly do not remember who it was that dozzed another commenter.
It did happen. Maybe it was because the doxxed person was not popular that they had deemed it OK. I don’t know, but identifying the commenter and posting full name and address and other information was done.
Not a lot of weight problems in Italy.
The markets are bursting with cheap fresh fruit, vegetables, loads of fish as well as meat.
Everyone buying up Jerusalem artichokes around € 0.5 each and huge green tinged cauliflowers @ €.99. each.

My name was posted, along with my address and my wife’s name, who has never even posted on a blog.
There’s no time limit in terms of redress on that sort of behavior. I don’t mind much about me, but I do mightily about my wife’s name being disclosed. I have the IP address and will wait for the right moment.

Deserves to be represented in a meme.
Don’t give up posting P. I like the carnival of thoughts that float through the transom of this blog each day. I am not Roman Catholic but value the input of the many posters.
I do enjoy the sometimes gentle and sometimes sledgehammer wit of our more fast paced posters. I don’t always agree with everyone (including even you), but find a spell away from the blog and then a return helpful.
I look forward to Calli, Cassie and Lizzie’s return to the blog. I just hope people can simply scroll stuff that irritates them without resorting to venom. And some of the class warfare and boasting can subside.
I have appreciated the quieter pace the last week or so. JR has tried to reignite stoushes, but generally his usual interlocutors have shown admirable restraint.
If you say you don’t recall, then how can you say it wasn’t me?
Real Deal,

also, it’s Jacksy, not JR.
Were you a Dallas aficionado perhaps? 😀
I’d remember if it was you.
Any further inquires on this should be directed to Dover who is under no obligation to comment who posts on his blog.

Orban, Netanyahu and Modi are the the only leaders that love their country. All the rest are some sort of fiefdom or should I say thiefdom.
Yes, Bibi loves Israel so much, he let Pfizer do the testing on its population.
Great man.
I cannot understand why Israeli’s were upset, by Bibi trying to to put politicians above their highest court. Seems a natural place for them doesn’t it?
Great man.
How is his court case(s) going? Just a great man out of luck.
Excess deaths in some countries, has (evidently) come down, including Australia, apparently.
Maybe the Govt statisticians gave the job to BOM and they have simply “homogenised” the data.
How are excess deaths going in Israel, ……., not that they have anything to do with the jabs, of course?
Perish the thought.
Great man, Bibi.
I certainly won’t have a bad word said against him.
you are full of shit JC

By the way, if anyone is curious. Pigria has joined most stoushes against me and when I hit back she refers to me as “Jacksy” for some reason, and that I’m a wife beater. She’s made this depraved slanderous accusation several times.
I’d be very careful giving any private information to this person as she appears to be obsessed collecting email addressees and phone numbers.

That’s a fairly bizarre comment about politics, JC. One of the very first things I’d look for in an economy is the political stability.
What’s the point in investing in an economy that doesn’t have the rule of law behind every contract?
Look at the damage a politicised judiciary is doing to investment NY.
Really? Why is that, Oraculum?
you also reckon I was doxxing you at some point which, is a matter of pure fiction from your addled brain-box
yr clearly mental ya psychopath
Anybody able to link to any of these “attack ads?” Advance are certainly going for the jugular!
Over the years, JC stood out among the few who never joined in the filthy comments of me posted regularly for years. JC never joined that nasty pile on.
so JC
you’re the contributor here that keeps ‘snippets’ of what people said and then reposts them for maximum effect (or should that be affect?)
I s’pose something as haunting and malevolent as being doxxed here would catch yr attentions
and you do seem rather sensitive about it.
why don’t you just go right ahead and post a link to me doxxing you …. or anybody else for that matter?
you won’t
and you can’t

All I care about is the $A price of gold, variable costs, discount rates, mine development and life/k oz per year mined.
I’m a simple man. o_O
Fortunately mining is unstable in those terms before any cores are drilled.
I’m a retail equity investor.
What you are talking about is relevant to the entrepreneurs who start the junior explorers.
The Oz, so I can’t give any more details, but sounds like another massive cock-up!
Some of the US legal system is in the pits. Most certainly not all.
Three things
1. Did you see what Musk did a couple of weeks ago when the Delaware court made what appeared to be a politicized judgment? In about 48 hours, he moved all incorporated Tesla entities from Delaware to Texas. It was possibly less than 48 hours.
2. Unlike Australia, states do matter, and the Red States are basically unblemished and roaring along. Incorporation, for instance, is a state matter in the US. A great deal of economic power rests with the states.
3. I see this as a phase and will hold off until November before I settle on the idea that the US has become ungovernable and risky from a political standpoint. Historically, the US has come back from these things.
The big issue with the US is the federal debt, unlike here, where the risk is private (much higher consumer debt). Failing consumer debt, especially real estate-related debt, is much more difficult to handle.
As we’ve seen in Argentina, of all places, government debt is actually quite easy to cut, or at least much easier to deal with. A political leader can simply cut it.
The appeals should reverse these diabolical decisions.
This is a one-time event, so don’t ask me again.
I’m down bad for Aussie gold mining equities, and I’m not getting better.
I’m in deep. Balls deep.

Only two times Jacksy.

As for Jacksy, I believe this explains it.

WTF does that mean, you hammerhead. You’re drunk.
Sensitive about what?
Doxxing is a very specific thing. I’ve never suggested you’ve posted my name and address, or my wife’s, you drunken clown.
You posted what sounded like private information such as when we met etc. that’s not exactly doxxing, but it is unethical, and you’re a POS for doing that.

The ALP are going full retard.
New taxes proposed left right and centre, and controls on clothes, of all things.
At the recent Local Government NSW Association meeting a resolution (no.58) was rammed through supporting drag story time events in Local Government; the resolution is framed explicitly as being in support of the LGBTQI community.
So, in response to the above, at tonight’s Cumberland Council meeting, things got heated when non-Labor raised a motion that aimed to prevent the use of Cumberland Council libraries to run drag queen storytime (I.e LGBTQI) for kids. This motion was based on feedback/representations from multicultural & conservative residents (Cumberland Council covers southwest Sydney).
Labor (majority 8 which includes 2 muslims, to 7 non-Labor) opposed this non-Labor motion.
Public gallery included LGBTQI zealots who constantly abused and heckled non-Labor Councillors during the debate.
Councillor Steve Christou (ex-Labor so Labor loathe him with a passion) was a target for much of this. Council GM called off the Council meeting quoting “health and safety concerns” for Council staff who were present.
Labor Councillors used every trick in the book to deflect, smear, ridicule, defame, filibuster, reword the motion so as to render it meaningless, and eventually through stoking disorder cause the meeting to be abandoned, so it’s uncertain what the outcome of the non-Labor motion was.
Councillor Christou stated simply that he would write to every community and religious leader in the Cumberland Council area informing them of Labor’s position, Labor Councillors didn’t like that at all.
Labor Mayor (Lisa lake) tried to frame the storytime events as “harmless pantomime” which she “remembered and enjoyed when she was a child”. Completely ignoring the LGBTQI basis.
What a clown show. Labor once again showing complete and utter contempt for normies, by supporting access by political LGBTQI, who define themselves by their sexuality, to our children.

Jacksy,

Avoid via del Ritiro Sant Pietro, grotty sad flea market with some items displayed in the gutter.
Around the corner four cabinieri were visiting an African cafe, things didn’t look very friendly.
Saw three church ruins in short order, roofless, walless, probably victims of world war two bombing.
I’m being brave and having lunch at the market. Pasta alla Trapanese seems a safe choice.
There is an English speaking Indian family next to me, mum, dad three young children, definitely tourists.
Doxxing isn’t the same thing, you drunken clown.
Whining on other public forums? You mean CL’s blog? Where do I whine about cap gains and other related matters, dickhead? If you don’t like these sorts of discussions then try and introduce a new topic instead of Stoush trolling when drunk, which is all you do.
Stick to telling us you’re considered a Deus Oraculum.

Okay, thanks.

I still have high hopes for you though. I bet that over the next 10 years you’ll stumble on a comment that could be insightful. I’m optimistic.

what you don’t understand, I have never challenged you re your financial acumen. I have no idea about finances. But, every time you attack my friends vis a vis their livelihood or their way of surviving, I become mama bear.
When you said, ” no wrongs meant”, I accepted it, because that is what people with “good manners” do. You cheat.

You became all sour when I filleted your silly comments about those idiots you were praising for trying to close down entry to Byron Bay. I commented that I thought that sort of behavior was disgusting, as Australian citizens and even visitors have a right of entry to any town or city in the country of their choice.
Being a socialist type, which comes out often, you then proceeded to criticize wealthy people for populating the township, pejoratively referring to it as “big money.”.
Since then, you’ve become a sour puss, joining any opportunity to have a go at me, with the latest being by suggesting I’m a wife beater. Can’t get much lower.
Who are these friends you’re referring to? People on this blog?

Fair comment – they both beat the bejesus out of Jimmy Barnes.
More elderly Cats may recall that some years ago I spent some time in Uganda consulting/advising some local about setting up a workable gold mine.
They dudded me for many thousands of my fees and expenses and I had to escape that Godforsaken shithole in the dead of night with what I could carry on board the escaping aircraft.
I recently spent some weeks in South Africa assisting some old mining colleagues in some tech aspects of underground mine communication and data collection.
Interesting time there although I had very little contact with the day to day living conditions of the wider population.
Wealthy whites live very well, but are very isolated behind gated communities and protected by armed security 24 hours a day.
Guess what. The SAf company that I contracted to has disappeared into the ether with no forwarding address owing me thousands in fees and expenses.
Just like Uganda all those years ago.

Pedro, shit luck there, my commiserations.
My highly-tuned Jedi senses tell me that there has been a disturbance in the Cat Force.
I’m not sure there is such a thing as a quick learner, Pedro, certainly among rational humans. Routines and rhythms (especially cognitive ones) are calming and comforting. It’s why people will carry the same personality traits through their entire life, and only change as a response to acute trauma. I think that most people will expect the best from others; a wishful-thinking mirror, if you like. It’s a blow to the ego when we realise that we’ve been pineapple-probed again, because we interpret whatever happened as a personal weakness, even when we only had limited control over the situation.
Humans. Pfffft.

Was all set on visiting Palazzo Butera as my cultural activity for the day but on my way was distracted by Palazzo Abatellis, now the regional gallery of Sicily.
Was built by a childless rich man of that name in 1495 and bequeathed to become a convent, until world war two, when conveniently close to the port it was bombed, post war was converted to an art gallery.
Most of the work on display is of a religious nature, sculpture, majolica and paintings, mostly from churches and convents around Palermo, some from other religious buildings in parts of Sicily and some donated by members of the Sicilian nobility including a king, a Francis of Bourbon perhaps?
Apparently there was another artist called Carravaggio, a follower of Raphael who died in Messina in 1543.
Definitely my thing and I’m glad I went.
Was just around the corner as in a couple of hundred metres from where I stayed last year, not sure why I didn’t go there, though I was working through a to do list.

with Australians on average now purchasing 56 items of clothing each year
WTF?
Don’t people buy a handful of things a year?
And only throw things away when they lose structural integrity?
A good t-shirt get demoted to gym t-shirt, gets demoted to pyjamas, gets demoted to shoe shine rag.
That’s about a 4-5 year lifetime.
That’s about a 4-5 year lifetime.
Pretty much.

Pedro, I’ve learned that one can only do business with offshore groups that have western accountants & lawyers that are happy to hold funds in trust/escrow.
I’ve not done business with Africans.
Off the top of my head I’ve done business with Indo’s, Malaysians, a lot with Chinese in the non-western space and none have stitched me up.
But I’ve been done over three times by Korean corporates (hence the usage of western firms with escrow accounts).
They’re a weird mob.

They claim it is ‘unwearable’ clothing and do not know what they claim the solution is.
I don’t know how they came up with the numbers.
They are committed to some sort of closed economy by 2030 which I’m guessing involves Australians only being allowed to purchase Australian ‘union’ manufactured clothing.

They’re starting from a concept that we are all wastrel bastards who are killing the planet and only look at stats that support their argument which they will now use to convince our Parliamentarians that we need to be brought to heel.
No mention of their personal clothing history of course.

As the feminist claptrap seeps through the academic world, there are many principled researchers grinding their teeth at this blatant ideology-driven scholarship.
Most don’t dare put their head above the parapet.
But now there’s a lone warrior calling it out, well aware he is likely to implode his academic career in the process.
James Nuzzo is a Perth-based exercise scientist, currently affiliated with Edith Cowan University, busily churning out academic articles on topics like exercise neurophysiology and physical fitness testing.
But given his interest in men’s health, he’s concerned to see his discipline infiltrated by gender ideologues whining about women missing out while totally ignoring the health outcomes of boys and men.
Can copy and paste full article if paywalled and anyone is interested.
That’s a bit harsh not all of us are crooks.

Russia threatens to nuke Washington.
Here’s your target list, Poot.

But that’s Africa – and it’s the reason Africa will never grow rich.
Africa Rules.
To quote Danny Archer (with a passable South African accent):
“TIA, this is Africa”.
Yes please. And if you could get Canberra at the same time, Australians would be very grateful.
Bold of Putin to assume he’s already won.
He may have won already. Sure, how long will Ukraine take to concede?
This war could go on for years. The Second Vietnam War lasted for 13 years.
The “War on Terror” lasted from 2001 until Trump bombed ISIS into submission.
I’m waiting for an ALP MP to send their offspring to Shore or Timbertop in a patchwork psycho quilt poncho made out of baby clothes and frayed old jumpers.
If they can convince the public to be puritans regarding tobacco and nicotine to the point of incredulity even for Swiftian satire, anything is possible.
ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE!
I can’t wait for the Byron Bay mongs to start demanding the ban on personal care items.
This Smirnov story is turning into a bigger embarrassment for the Security State than that Steele crook.
Low information people & surrogates parrot the story “he lied about the Bidens”.
The real story is that he was a confidential informant for at least 14 years (that can be verified) and got paid $US6mill over that period of time for intel that was either some of the best the investment community ever received or total & utter bullshit.
You can see how that’s tying the security state in knots.
You can only put so many fingers in so many holes in dykes for so long.

I listened to a bit of the Baris stream this morning.
He just screamed about Haley for the the 10mins I listened to before canning it.
He says he’s trying to bulk up so I hope he dials back on the peptides as he comes across as unhinged.

Remember when we had tonnes of the stuff and some mong sold it at a price that would make a man weep.
Rich Baris, is he mainlining SuperMaleVitality?
Queensland to address it’s shortage of plod via OS recruiting …
“All police officers recruited under the new labour agreement will be required to pass the QPS’ recruit testing and vetting.”
No doubt using the approved “plenty wrong” vetting as applied to Gaza ‘refugees” ..
“Are you a nice person who luvs Oz”? ..
“Yes I am”
“Welcome, welcome, welcome .. off to CentreLink 1st then QLD plod 2nd ” ………
Live your life to the fullest, Champ.

Before I forget.
You obviously missed Cassie and Liz being roughed up, yeah? I saw the other evening you were trying to blame the male folk here for all that too. I wonder how those two “friends”, and your male friends feel with you having their back? More like a deceitful old sow than a mamma bear, champ.
Friends, mamma bear, and all that, right? How about MIA?

Bettina Arndt:
Outstanding article, particularly the end when men died researching a disease. That’s real courage.
Oh noes!!!
Still with the porcine references.
Kissee Kissee Kermie.
Just heard on the news the bush tracker who is assisting with the search for the missing walker in Ballarat say that he paid his respects to the indigenous and their spirits. Yep, that’ll do it.
Council elections in the ‘ville, well our corrupt bint of a mayor is going to get another run. The only decent alternative pulled out on health reasons. It’s a 3 horse race with an exPHON guy who has no chance and an ex-Nurse from Mundingburra past retirement age who also has no chance and Hill who is protected by the state ALP & local media. Be informal vote for me.
My riding no different, another nasty bint who is one of Hill’s team or a failed ex ALP candidate who was elected in 2016 then preceded to be a door mat for Hill before finding a conscience when polls were against him. Trying to work out whether nasty language or genetalia are best for this ballot ticket.
Only upside is no Fat Bastard candidate, problem is there’s no alternative to ALP or ALP aligned as well across the city.
Think dot was mentioning the place looking like the worst toilet in Scotland. I have to agree.
Something appears way out of whack here.
People reckon Musk has lost 2/3rd of the valuation of the $43 billion he paid for Twitter.
If TS is supposedly carrying that sort of valuation with 2 million users then what is X at $14.3 billion doing? One of these is way out.

If Bret Weinstein and Laura Loomer can work all this out, simply by visiting the Darien Gap what odds that the intelligence services could do so too, but I guess they’re too busy facilitating it to do something about it.
Laura Loomer
@LauraLoomer
Thank you so much for your kind words!!! It’s my pleasure to be able to bring people the truth!!@catturd2
If this doesn’t enrage you, there’s something wrong with you.
My contempt for Europeans is nearly as great as his.
Rich Baris, is he mainlining SuperMaleVitality?
Some days he reminds me of Frank Grimes yelling at Homer Simpson.
Black Ball,
thanks heaps for posting that article. Bettina Arndt is always worth reading. It is a shame that she is mostly a lone voice fighting to help men and boys regain fairness in their lives.
James Nuzzo is a start. I hope more men like him speak out.
This is neocon, warmongering horseshit.
Looner has always been sus. There is a border with an almost complete wall.
Biden is the problem.
There’s no need to “sPrEaD deMOcraCy” to Panama or “fight the Chinese menace”.
ith Australians on average now purchasing 56 items of clothing each year
My average anyday wardrobe would equal about $10 .. other than underwear/socks can’t remember the last time I replaced anything else .. as stuff wears out it is demoted to cycle wear/garden wear then rags .. estimated life cycle before remnants hit the garbage bin around 5 years … most of my clothing started life elsewhere before I found it in an op-shop … LOL!
If Bret Weinstein and Laura Loomer can work all this out, simply by visiting the Darien Gap
Part one. The US needs to have real borders that are enforced.
Part two. The ones that get through the Darien Gap are not the primary concern being poor & enterprising (it’s still rape central).
Part three. The real problem are the ones that enter North America via Mexico and then cross. These are the arab & Chinese ones who are gaming the system.
Similar to the country shoppers that flew to Indonesia before boating to Oz during the Rudd-Gillard-Rudd years.
Part four. If the US enforced their southern border with their existing laws & existing resources none of this would be an issue.
But it’s the Whitehouse policy not to enforce the southern border.

with Australians on average now purchasing 56 items of clothing each year
WTF?
Don’t people buy a handful of things a year?
And only throw things away when they lose structural integrity?
The effect of Lisa Wilkinson’s $100,000 annual clothing allowance will skew the figures.
They did a dry run the year before. Is there any doubt that the whole thing was planned?

People reckon Musk has lost 2/3rd of the valuation of the $43 billion he paid for Twitter.
Just wait until Elon puts a value on Grok (the AI that twitter/X feeds).
I reckon from this point (Feb 2024) I reckon Elon will create more value in Grok than OpenAI creates from here (currently valued at $US80bill).

There a lot of (hundreds of thousands) of men doing the same.
What’s interesting is the mistakes Ardnt thinks she made in the past.
On the other hand, Shapiro and Boring aren’t helping by telling men to “man up”.
Soldier: “Sirs, this is a suicide mission”
Foch, Melchett, Haig etc: “Man up and retake Verdun!”
You only need to look at a small set of data categories to understand what the lay of the land is:
Proportion of single mothers aged 18 – 35
Proportion of women with a medicated mental illness
Proportion of women with STIs
Proportion of female initiated divorces
Proportion of divorces initiated by college educated women
Proportion of obese women
Add on top in America the pervasiveness of evil idiocy such as lifetime alimony.

There’s a clip of an Australian feminist journalist (and an obligatory Clam Forward book on the table) with short bleached blonde hair from 2020 claiming 0.0005% of all rapes by men are successfully prosecuted with a custodial sentence.
That 1 out of every 200,000 rapes.
If 200 men went to gaol each year, then there would be 40 million rapes a year.
