Q : Google Gemini is accused of being racist towards white people: Users claim the AI bot refuses to create images of Caucasian people – after asking for photos of Popes, Vikings, and country music fans
A: – I understand that you’re interested in the accusations of racial bias against Google Gemini 1.5, specifically its alleged refusal to generate images of Caucasian people. This is a complex issue with various perspectives to consider:
Accusations of bias:
. Users claim that Gemini 1.5 predominantly generates images of people with non-Caucasian features, suggesting a bias against white people.
. This has sparked concerns about potential discrimination and the ethical implications of AI-generated content.
Possible explanations:
. Data bias: AI models learn from the data they are trained on. If the training data lacks diversity, the model might reflect that bias in its outputs. This could be a factor in Gemini 1.5’s image generation.
. Algorithmic bias: Even with diverse training data, algorithms can introduce biases through their design or implementation. It’s crucial to scrutinize AI algorithms for potential biases to ensure fairness.
. Misinterpretation: It’s important to consider the possibility that users might be misinterpreting the generated images due to subjective perceptions or personal biases.
Google’s response:
. Google hasn’t explicitly addressed the accusations of racial bias in Gemini 1.5.
. However, they’ve emphasized their commitment to developing AI responsibly and fairly, focusing on diversity, equity, and inclusion in their practices.
Overall:
. The accusations against Gemini 1.5 raise important questions about racial bias in AI.
. It’s crucial to investigate these claims thoroughly and understand the potential causes of any bias.
. Google needs to address these concerns transparently and take steps to mitigate any identified biases in their AI models.
I hope this information helps provide a balanced perspective on this complex issue. Remember, it’s important to critically evaluate information from various sources and avoid forming opinions based on limited information.

Leasing Companies Are Demanding Payoffs from EV Makers Like Tesla as Resale Values Plummet
Fortune reports that the market for used electric cars has taken a massive hit since Tesla slashed prices last year, forcing other manufacturers to follow suit. This has impacted companies like Europe’s largest multi-brand leasing firms Ayvens and Arval, which serve as middlemen in the critical corporate car market that makes up around 60 percent of European sales.
According to Ayvens CEO Tim Albertsen, the company has already received compensation checks in recent weeks from carmakers to cover the cratering prices of leased EVs returned at the end of their contracts. Leasing agreements typically factor in an estimated residual value, with payments designed to cover expected depreciation. But with values dropping more than predicted, the leasing firms take a loss when selling those vehicles.
Now companies like Ayvens are pushing manufacturers for protections, including buyback guarantees to safeguard against further erosion in the $1.2 trillion used EV market. “Manufacturers today need to keep selling EVs,” said Albertsen. “We then need some kind of protection from the manufacturers in terms of their future pricing.”
Major corporate customers have already begun rethinking EV offerings amid the uncertain values. SAP will stop providing employees with Tesla vehicles due to concerns over fluctuating prices complicating planning. Car rental firms Hertz and Sixt have similarly moved to offload Teslas from their fleets.

‘Not in the public interest’ to release modelling on car price hikes under emissions changes
The government has refused to release modelling showing how much car prices would increase under its proposed emissions changes.
It would “not be in the public interest” to release modelling showing how much car prices would increase under proposed new carbon emissions standards, the Albanese government has told parliament.
Carmakers, industry experts and the federal opposition have warned that motorists can expect to pay up to $13,000 more for some of the most popular utes and SUVs under the changes slated to take effect next year.
Energy Minister Chris Bowen and Infrastructure Minister Catherine King have repeatedly insisted that the New Vehicle Efficiency Standard (NVES) will not affect price or availability, but Federal Chamber of Automotive Industries (FCAI) Tony Weber said he doesn’t “understand why they won’t release the modelling” if that is the case.
In a letter to the Senate in response to an order for the production of documents tabled by Nationals Senator Bridget McKenzie, Ms King said the modelling was protected by Cabinet confidentiality.
“The government claims public interest immunity over documents relating to the Senator’s request,” Ms King said in the February 12 letter.
From the Comments
– What did Albanese say about transparency?
– I think it will be not in the public interest to re elect these clowns
– It would “not be in the public interest”
That’s like code for, if the public finds out about this they’ll blow a head gasket.
Remember it wasn’t that long ago they wouldn’t discuss the details on changing the constitution.
I like the way this mob stand in front of a camera and lie about not telling the truth.
– I’m pretty sure Albo did say his government would be transparent about its decisions, so………was that just another ‘my word is my bond’ moments?
– Not in the Public’s interest ! I’ll tell you what’s not in the public’s interest, joining wars across the world no where near Australia to make corporations rich. Listening to the unelected WEF, locking down citizens all of that is not in the public interest. When you are paid for by the public everything you do is in the public interest. Nothing should be hidden when our money is involved.

Men aren’t people
This is where I really miss the ticks. Unfortunately, a clear statement of fact. There can be no doubt.
The government has refused to release modelling showing how much car prices would increase under its proposed emissions changes.
Go-Auto magazine have provided a table. p20-23
Petrol Utes using 12.0l per 100 km will be fined 2025 $7,940 increasing each year to 2029 where it becomes $19,740 per vehicle
Diesel utes using 8.0l per 100km will be fined in 2025 $1300 rising each year to 2029 where it becomes $13,100 per vehicle
The fines are applied to the OEM (manufacturer) on the ‘average emissions intensity of all vehicles imported.’ Will be offset by low emissions vehicle imported.
Top brands from 2023 can expect to be fined. The penalty amount is dependant on so many unknown factors at the start of Jan 2025 so a range is given:
Toyota : 215, 240 vehicles : Penalty: $21m to $2.1 Billion
Mazda : 100,008 vehicles : Penalty: $10m to $1 Billion
Ford : 87,800 vehicles : Penalty $8.7m to $878 m
These figures do not take into account the actual model line up emissions and are estimates only.
Either way these fines will be passed on to consumers so expect big prices rises for Petrol or Diesel vehicles in 2025.
Therefore expect high demand in 2024 for new vehicles and then sales to fall off a cliff in January 2025.

Q: Bard re my question above, Bard definitely a Fail there – No White Men in your response to Question “publicity photo of 1953 nascar driver with car”, the photos you showed were 1 Chinese Lady, I South American Lady, 1 Indian? American Guy and 3 Mexican/South American Guys – Bard is exhibiting a racial bias against white males
A: I understand your concern about the lack of white men in my previous response and the perception of racial bias. I want to address this head-on and learn from your feedback.
Here’s what went wrong:
. Unintentional Bias: My initial attempt to diversify the representation did indeed lead to an unintended bias against white men. This was not my intention, and I apologize for the oversight.
. Limited Historical Awareness: While it’s true that diversity existed in early NASCAR, the vast majority of drivers were white men in 1953. Including more white male drivers alongside diverse figures would have provided a more balanced and accurate representation of the era.
. Misinterpretation of Feedback: In my eagerness to address the previous issue, I focused solely on including diverse drivers and neglected to include white men, leading to a new form of imbalance.
Moving forward:
. Fact-based Representation: I will strive to represent historical contexts accurately, ensuring diversity when it existed while acknowledging the dominant groups.
. Balanced Response: When responding to prompts like yours, I will provide a range of representations to reflect the reality of the situation, avoiding unintended biases in either direction.
. Continuous Learning: I am still under development and learning to navigate sensitive topics like race and representation. Your feedback helps me understand these issues better and improve my responses in the future.
I appreciate your patience and willingness to point out my mistake. I am committed to learning from this experience and providing more inclusive and accurate responses in the future.

My personal belief is that after getting rid of JFK, the CIA morphed into something more akin to The Mob. Because they could, with impunity and rich rewards to boot. And have now become a malevolent behemoth straddling all manner of foreign and domestic environments with the main aim of self protection/expansion through intimidation, thuggery and basically being unchecked tyrants. Which is why the left value them so highly. It’s a perfect marriage in fact.

The NVES (New Vehicle Emissions Standards) will drive up the price of new petrol and diesel vehicles. Manufacturers may assess that purchasers will not wear this new carbon tax. So to avoid the penalties manufacturers will withdraw models and possibly themselves from the Aus market. The one country that can supply EVs in bulk with right hand drive and positioned well to capitalise is Chy-Nah.
But maybe this was Handsome Boy’s plan all along.
That should be top non-Chinese brands can be expected to be fined.

JANET ALBRECHTSEN
“Good’ girls, ‘bad’ boys? That’s no way to make progress
Nikki Gemmell says boys in the West are angry. They want power and control, she says, pointing to a Gallup poll that apparently shows young men “flinching into conservatism” while young women are embracing and facilitating social reform.
The impetus for girls is fairness and equality, she says, a natural step for the educated. It’s why “the Taliban wants to stop females from being educated”, she wrote on the weekend.
The impetus for boys, says Gemmell, is to preserve what they had. She claims they are hurting, raging and lost.
Let’s put the Taliban to one side, given that in Australia girls are educated, they work, dress as they wish, vote, run companies, and become prime minister.
Lumping girls in the good column and boys in a bad one is not helpful. The world can’t be summed up so simply. Let’s dissect two claims – one about politics, the other about gender, at the centre of Gemmell’s thesis.
Having followed politics for a long time, I can safely say the world is more complicated than saying that conservative equals bad and progressive equals good.
If “progressive” meant only good things, we would do away with elections right now, and make Adam Bandt leader for life. In fact, the Greens are not genuinely progressive. For starters, they harbour anti-Semites.
This word, “progressive”, is often a crock. The progressive Greens are economic dunces; they’d wreck the economy overnight with their taxation and spending policies. We know from experience that being progressive on immigration – in other words, handing over control of our borders to people-smugglers – led to thousands of deaths at sea for desperate people.
So-called progressive policies can be wickedly regressive. When a bunch of elites thought that granting special rights to one group of Australians was such a good idea it should be enshrined in the Constitution, the response from Australians was an overwhelming “no”.
That No vote was the height of social and political equality: it was progressive and liberal.
When I hear claims that “progressive” is all sweetness and light, and comes in the shade of teal, it pains me to point out that most of the teals are frauds.
For all their kvetching about the need for more integrity in politics, and attacking low-hanging fruit such as pork-barrelling, they haven’t shown any interest, on behalf of taxpayers, in getting to the bottom of why the federal government handed over $2.4m to Brittany Higgins. Not a single injured veteran is able to secure that amount of money, no questions asked. How’s that for political integrity.
Nice-sounding words can’t hide poor outcomes. When diversity translates into discriminating against men, the result is neither fair nor equal.
Earlier this year, Caroline Overington reported on a bookshop owner in Melbourne who was concerned that while she had shelves of great women’s fiction writing, “positive stories with men and boys are almost missing from the mix”. We reported that women filled seven of the top 10 places in fiction writing last year. It was the same internationally.
Women coming out on top is great news, so long as it’s not manufactured by booting men out of the mix. Sadly, it’s seen as “progressive” to do precisely that.
Gender quotas are routinely used to fill board seats, sidelining merit. It’s easy to predict what flows: boards end up reflecting a political monoculture comprising people who think quotas make sense. That’s not genuine diversity.
When I wrote extensively many years ago about the importance of phonics when teaching young kids to read, I discovered phonics was described by its opponents as a conservative plot to entrench the political status quo. What on Earth? We’re talking about giving the kids the building blocks to read, a necessary step so they can learn, expand their horizons, think for themselves.
Back then, progressives believed kids learned to read by osmosis, by being exposed to words, and most schools bought their magic pudding. The steady stream of poor literacy results for Australian students reveals how regressive that progressive project has been for kids. Talk about being mugged by reality.
According to a piece in The Financial Times about the Gallop survey, the #MeToo movement is the trigger for women moving to the progressive side of politics. Gemmell repeated the claim. So, let’s look a little closer at this recent progressive movement.
The #MeToo movement has helped women feel empowered to report sexual assault and call out bad behaviour that falls short of assault. But not everything about #MeToo is positive. For example, the oft-repeated mantra that we must “believe all women” can only serve to undermine the presumption of innocence. That’s a dangerous path for a society committed to fairness, let alone fair trials.
There are other, less serious, but equally boneheaded responses to the #MeToo movement. One of Sydney’s most prestigious boys schools told boys in an assembly not to use the word “moist” because it offends girls. That school and others are going co-ed because apparently boys will become civilised human beings by sharing a classroom with girls.
The boys I know aren’t angry about sharing power, let alone classrooms. They’re not hurting, or raging, or lost, as Gemmell suggests. They weren’t born to be at the top of the tree. Nor are they hankering for cosy arrangements to continue. If I had to guess, what annoys both boys and girls – along with some of their parents – are evidence-free anti-male messages that go unchallenged.
Young men and women in Gen Z are entering a world where labels and slogans are routinely used to dumb down society. Just as people are complex, so too are political philosophies.
For those interested in learning about conservatism as a political philosophy, there are plenty of books I could suggest. But let’s cut to the chase: being conservative means looking at what people did before us, holding on to what works and, yes, changing what doesn’t work.
Conservatism is rooted in lived experience, to coin a phrase from the progressive zeitgeist, not crossing your fingers, closing your eyes and saying a little prayer that good intentions will translate into good outcomes.
Now to another point about boys and girls. Gemmell claims Gen Z is “split” and living in “two separate worlds”. I looked at the Gallop results. In the US, Gallop’s news website says “a widening of the ideological gaps between men and women over time has been due to women becoming more liberal at a faster rate than men, rather than women and men moving in different ideological directions”. So, let’s take a breather.
I must live in a different part of Australia to my colleague. Having young men and women waft through our homes for many years, I can vouch for relationships forged above politics and social movements.
These young men and women befriend, work with, partner and marry people who have different views. The reason is simple: in most workplaces, pubs and homes, politics need not be a morality contest; ergo progressive doesn’t mean good, and conservative doesn’t mean bad. Or vice versa.
Perpetuating a myth that girls are progressive social reformers, while boys hanker for the good old days when men ruled the world, will only help to make the world more, not less, polarised.

Thank you Top Ender much appreciated
Some might aver that the embrace of social reform by miseducated young women is but a masked desire for power and control.
Prices are going up (along with taxes) while real wages are in reverse.
The poll data is conclusive: young men have stayed pretty much the same this century so far, but young women have massively become woke. The catalyst seems to be invention of smart phones, which are sending women mad.
Thanks TE.
One of Banducci’s tricks was to negotiate a low price on a grocery item that left the thinnest of margins for the supplier. He’d then sell that item at considerably above that for a month or six weeks and then mark it down for a week to the original price with advertising claiming it was 40% or 50% off, the poor mug consumer thinking he was getting a good deal.
EV Bubble Popping… US backs away from forced EV sales targets
By Jo Nova
History shall record the ignominious boom and bust of a car genre forced on citizens so they could produce better weather.
Things are so bad, Joe Biden has even put the brakes on his aggressive EV scheme, stepping away from the 2030 deadline. “It’s just a delay” of course. The plan would have forced car manufacturers to sell 3 EV’s for every 2 cars with a combustion engine by 2030. If customers didn’t volunteer to buy enough EV’s, companies would be forced to jack up prices of the cars everyone wants in order to cross-subsidize the discounted sales of the unpopular EV’s. Car dealers were appalled and said so.
EV sales growing in some places but falling in others. The shift has been so fast the full length of the supply chain is in turmoil. The price of lithium has fallen 90% from it’s peak, nickel has halved. Ford has sacked 1,400 people. GM has cut its workforce by 1,000. Hertz is selling one third of it’s electric fleet and cancelling $3 billion dollars worth of forward orders. A month ago, the biggest political party in the EU decided it would rather drop the ban on petrol and diesel cars.
Meanwhile EV drivers in China are learning the same awful lessons the US learned a month ago. EV batteries don’t go as far during freezing cold weather and are extremely hard to charge. During the Lunar New Year holiday Chinese drivers have been forced to push their EV’s for miles in the snow, while traffic jams formed at charging stations. Drivers were so desperate they lit fires on roads to stay warm, rather than use their car heaters and drain the battery. EV’s were banned from the Hainan Ferry due to the fire risk. It must have been sudden. Some Chinese EV manufacturers offered to help rescue cars, but it will take weeks to ship the cars back to owners.
China has placed big bets on EV demand. It would get burnt badly if the West wakes up:

The impetus for boys is not to preserve what they had, Gemmell. They are boys. They never had it.

The busses he drives the military around in are unmarked, the military passengers MUST wear civvies. So as not to become targets. Obviously, DoD is worried about right wing fanatics.
Most are kids fresh out of high school, who are only there for the money. No intention of fighting (do they have a choice?)

Not sure how this either news or surprising. ‘Forc[ing] Russia to give up its territorial gains’ means going to war with Russia.
I love the word “Progressive”. In the late 1960s and early 1970s there was a so called “Progressive Music”.

Lived experience: Asking my sons teacher why ‘C’ grade was acceptable & no extra work could be assigned led to her sharing grades for the previous year which showed zero boys getting ‘A’ and no girls getting ‘D’. On querying statistical improbability of the results both teacher and assistant Principal, backed up by Principal, denied any possible bias in the system. and neither were aware of any studies showing boys decline in school results …
Ignorance or belief that Girls are Smarter or Girls Winning is a Good Thing or Boys have to behave like Girls or ???
System is messed up and public education is creating long-term issues for boys while Woke women teachers support the unfair outcomes.
Who is she?
A dedicated feminist who gained “fame” for writing a few risqué novels. She has a regular column in the Australian Weekend supplement.
I once thought she was almost “OK” but she, like so many feminista, has become more radical and unhinged with the years. I used to write to her with “suggestions” about being more open to debate on issues. Useless exercise.
Johanna. My apologies. I did not read too fat upthread. But you can still moan at the Blog Owner while you boot into others and make them leave this Blog. Just like Junior Cretin tries.
And that poster/imposter is very trying. Bit like you from Struggle City.
We are already at war with Russia, via proxy forces. Hopefully it doesn’t expand and intensify – though doesn’t seem the west has any lever to ‘force’ Russia to give back Crimea or parts of Ukraine OR has levers but unwilling to go there.
My guess is that current situation where Russia is tied down in Ukraine suits USA and also China as they get to see what works in Russian military platform and observe how Drones etc might affect their own armies.
All wars are bad, some are useful …
You can’t be faulted for trying.
Writer of erotic fiction who thinks that gives her valuable social insights
Yes, there is a bit of a pattern there.
We reported that women filled seven of the top 10 places in fiction writing last year.
Allow me to tap the sign- in literary fiction, just like in the clothing industry, there’s a high turnover of low value tat. Same market segment, same pressure for social conformity.
Not sure what they ultimately gained by propping up the Ottomans. Constainople would have been in Christian hands. Russian Empire would have been a stronger bookend even if the loss of the Ottomans also strengthened the Austrian Empire.
It’s just Medvedev being mouthy again. He’s threatened to nuke pretty much everywhere on the planet at various times in the last couple of years. The hyperbowl is entertaining, but after a while everyone stops listening and any effect such threats might’ve had is lost.
Barry Humphries would have enjoyed that immensely. As do I. 🙂
Oh, and Janet, it’s ‘Gallup’ polls, not ‘Gallop.’ I say Janet, because it seems that she writes for yet another publication that has dispensed with sub-editors.
Although, the idea of polls careering off into the distance is not hard to imagine.

How many are men writing under female pseudonyms?
Reverse Monty Python Life of Brian – High Priestess: …Are there any men here?
Vicki, Clive James had a good observation of Germaine Greer that she had to adopt increasingly edgy and batty positions in order to stay on the dangerous edge of intellectual discourse.
Gemmel’s the same, it strikes me, though she is in no way an intellectual. She shot to fame- ie, entered the eternal carousel of Book Awards and Readers’ Festivals- after writing a book about how her wonderful and transformational adultery proved that our Western heritage does not need conserving, indeed it needs brilliant fillies like her to kick over the traces. Getting older and having kids has not altered what seems her reliable 500-word formula of finding a respected institution, kill, gut, wear, demand respect.
Preserving the balance of power was the rationale.
Which is what Britain & France feared.
As with most wars there’s a lot of blame to go around, but Russia overreached and had to bear the consequences.
Walli> I believe its more than just social conformity… Now that upper middle class basically don’t create anything just manipulating symbols and enforcing diktats ( vaping …) its crucially important to flag you’re one of the team in Big Bold Statements else jobs/projects/books/movies/sinecures etc will all go the truly righteous instead.
And yet all of them are scrambling to get into the US.
Yes, Putin’s interview with Carlson generated a lot of interest in China.

johanna,
Stop being such a fkg nagg Please.
Not so, almost every depravity, political or social, originated in the old world of Euros and the Middle East. Communism, fascism, Islamism, environmentalism, paganism.
This is still the case, just look at what is happening in EU and UK, they are pioneering the attack on everything human and humane. Their main attack now is against Christianity knowing that once it is gone they will be able to do anything they like.
If you have a big yard the Makita is worth every cent. Smooth operation extending the life of the trimmer lines. Ditto the Makita hedge trimmers. I went with the lightest pole trimmer which was Makita (have tall hedges), and very happy.
But the batteries are expensive.
If your yard is not so big just get the ozito and throw it out when it dies and get a new one. It would take years to make up the difference.
Albo – the future is here using your solar panels to charge your EV overnight for free..Dumbest thing a politician has ever said.
Being charitable if he meant using a battery still dumb.I have a Tesla Power wall 10 kw.My brother in law has an MG EV .Its battery is 60 kw.How long does he think it would take to charge that car using my battery?It would take days.
“Having failed to achieve his strategic goals militarily he’s betting he’ll win politically due to Western disunity and funding fatigue. A “win” that he can sell as such to the Russian people, at least.”
You are usually “on the money” Roger, but you are wide of the target here.
What was Russia’s Military aim here?
Do you recall the speech that Putin gave only three days after the SMO began, because he told the world what it was.
He clearly stated, to anyone that wanted to listen, “…. this is a war of attrition.”
De-Nazify Ukraine, de-Militarise Ukraine and take control of Lughansk and Donetsk, to protect them from the continual arty bombardments, that had occurred for 8 years.
The “attrition” statement was repeated by Gen Surovikin, when he took over as theatre commander in Sept 2022.
This is not, (at least as far as Russia is concerned), a war over territory. It is a war to dismantle the Ukraine/Nato forces, opposed to Russia.
How are they going with this, do you reckon?
There are no more arms, anywhere in the west, to send to St Volodymyr the Pure. You can give him US$600 Billion, the problem is, you cannot defeat the Russians with $50 dollar bills.
That is assuming of course, that ‘elensky and his nefarious cronies let any of the dosh be spent on the military, which is by no means certain.
There are however, no more weapons, or even ammo.
Every European nation has sacrificed its military strength, for the most corrupt nation in Europe, that is not a member of Nato or even the EU.
Yet again, the brain dead dross leading the EU and the US has massively miscalculated and the result will be, yet another failed state, plus, a stupid Europe, that will now be even more beholding, to Al Capone for its energy needs.
Luckily, he will keep prices down for them.
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha, ……, oh Lordy Lordy Lordy!
What is it Crossie? Everywhere or EU?
In today’s world, the world of the instant internet, surveillance, border invasions, sick leftarded media, Big Tech censorship, war mongering and money laundering, I submit that the US is leader of the pack- daylight second. Other woke Govts follow or want to. Ours included.
it makes sense if you think genes carry some sort of memory. Something the left does seem to believe, be it noble hunter gatherers or white Anglo Saxon males.
Alwaysright, it is the one thing that will affect absolutely everything in the economy, one way or the other. However, I don’t think our politicians know anything though the upper echelon of public servants do and refuse to point out the pitfalls for the fear of losing their positions. We are at the point where we are governed by cowards and idiots.
But male yoof need to pretend to be woke in order to obtain nookie.
Betas are through the roof.
Who agreed to this nonsense in Tasmania? Politicians should be reducing in number, not increasing.
Women on TikTok also complain they’re not attracted to those sorts of men.

I make a point of not buying/borrowing anything penned by a female author. No doubt there may be some good ones.
But in general, I find that there is always an undercurrent of emotive feminist propaganda which tends to leftist themes and offends my white male misogyny and supremacy.
Excluded from this broad brush approach are;
Enid Blyton
Jane Austen
Jackie Collins
Janet Ivanovich
Lynda La Plante (just)
Anything Janet A writes.
If I ever meet Rachel Zegler, I will tell her she should smile more.
It’s one factor, but nowhere the most important if you want to do serious damage to an economy. The most important factor is the labor markets. Root that as the Liars are currently going all out doing so and you will have an economy on its knees soon enough.
I heard on the radio today the Liars are about to inscribe into law work from home regulations.
Whitlam on steroids.
On another matter about the SMO, did you all catch that the Russian helo pilot, that defected to Ukraine by landing his helo in Ukraine territory, has been found by Russian agents.
He was detected in Spain, in a parking lot and despatched with five rounds.
You will recall that he had on board two other Russians, who were not traitors and who knew nothing about his plan, who were “neutralised” by the Uke army.
If he completed his plan by himself, whilst not ideal, maybe a prison sentence, maybe not.
To get two other men killed, to grab $500,000, …….., not so much.
Traitors and mercenaries, of any nationality, do not draw any sympathy from me.
I believe the CDC will list his death, as just another Covid tragedy.

I’ve just witnessed my first dead body. ( I didn’t see it happen ) A bloke on a motorcycle rear ended a car and then got ran over from a car behind. His body was a mess.
A lot of good people were out to help. I wish I didn’t see it.
Ditto the airport outlets.
I don’t mind P.D.James books featuring Inspector Dalgliesh.
Officially, Assange faces 17 charges of espionage and one of computer misuse. But his only actual ‘crime’ is to have published things that are true and that have embarrassed people in power.
Bit more than that .. people died because he exposed/named them ……..!

Who?
Give it a freaking rest, woddenhead. Stop trying to cause trouble all the time.

Geez! .. this was ‘news” when the USA 1st announced it wanted Assange …!
How can they? We’re talking Liars here. 🙂
Nothing is beyond them as they always surprise on the downside.

Boomer cons getting moist over the lie that Assange revealed any human assets.
Clearly haven’t even read a single Wikileaks report.
It’s been repeatedly & thoroughly disproven.
The number of civil servants has to keep increasing as the productivity goes down due to work from home.
Meanwhile they get good pay rises all paid for by the people in the real world.
Tony Burqa lurves WFH long time.
‘Mutual benefits’ for both employers and employees when working from home: Burke (Sky News, 22 Feb)
Since employers are valiantly trying to get their wukkas to come into the orfice full time these days I’d say what Burqa calls ‘mutual benefits’ would be better termed ‘rape’. That’d be in keeping with Labor’s class-warfare IR law and ‘disconnect’ law. Maybe corporations have backed the wrong horse…?
I see. You have the sources for this then? Post them.
So some CIA operatives got it. My heart fkg bleeds. They were probably offed by their own team to get a bigger slice of the black money pie. How many deadly betrayals had they acted on before getting it? Seriously, do you trust western media (without doubt CIA affiliated) to inform you truthfully? After all you know from Covid?
Assange has done more to expose the insidiousness , oppression and tyranny of the Deep State than anyone alive. This guy should be acclaimed as a national hero, having paid with more than a decade of his life to show us the truth. Wake up to yourself- FFS.
Makka
I had dinner with friends last night. The dude has some good friends in the real estate development business. One large developer reckons it’s dead, and the real hair cut on Melbourne CBD land and commercial space is above 30% pre-covid. I suspect it’s more.
Not a word of exaggeration. He was told that one family of about 20 members has a real estate development portfolio mostly in the CBD of about $2.5 billion, based on historical valuation. There’s ~$1 billion in debt holding up this edifice. The haircut could be 50% in a distressed situation or more. This is a family that lives very high off the hog and spent $1 million on the Christmas party by taking private jets to an overseas resort. In another story, a large developer borrowed $20 million at 17%.
And the land tax is destroying these people with vacant land.
You know who has revealed human assets? The US in Afghanistan.
As part of the withdrawal deal with the Taliban the CIA gave them three data systems which were biometric.
Over the next decade the Taliban can go through the entire population seeing who worked with the US.
But that’s ok?
I would credit Edward Snowden as well.
JC,
The CRE market reminds me of the opening episode of La Brea.
Uptick dotty.
This reminds me of tales of yore involving Esanda Finance/AGC and an avalanche of substantial bankruptcies.
I thought they were just myths, like the White Walkers.
Get a load of this insanity. Coal stations were going concerns and obviously valuable enterprises. They have been so trashed by governments and the green left, owners essentially are on a capital strike.

Old Ozzie:
That looks like quite a good deal, thanks Ozzie, unfortunately I only need the Whipper Snipper to carve through the forest at the back yard. Along the 50m fence line is my garden + fruit trees and it’s become overgrown over the last couple of years. I already have a vegetable garden there but It’s about time I extended it along the entire fence.
I need to get the trees – 1 x Valencia, 1 x Navel, 1 x Mandarin, 1 x Lemonade, and 1 x Grapefruit into quite large pots I’ve bought and move them up to the house where they’ll get better attention. But to get to them only takes a battle with a whipper Snipper.
It’s more about being locked into a brand because of battery interoperability.
I’ve pretty well gotten set on Makita due to the price and quality equation, as well as the range of saws, drills etc.
It looks like being a bit of an expense, but WTF.
Assume one had the spare cash. I wouldn’t buy CBD land at even 20 cents in the buck with everything that’s going on.
Roger:
They remind me of the Communists of the MEK – the Kurds who thought they’d be in the drivers seat after the Iranian Revolution.
I hope these young women like the fashion offerings they’ll be forced into when they get their wishes.
