Weird how your eagle eyes did not pick up the below post before you were asking me for a link.
Not going to go into the details but this is going to be one of the more interesting cases against a Dr. It hopefully will backfire against the regulatory body who it appears have invented a complainant in order to go after her. All can be seen at her Twitter and case finally about to be heard. Whoever is giving evidence against her from the regulatory body might want to brief themselves about purjury.
The Quadrant article by Dr Robert Clancy posted by Vicki paints the big picture regarding Ivermectin and why My Le is a victim of big pharma wanting to crush cheap alternatives.

With Trump’s polling now through the roof, the DNC will have to do more than cheat in a few swing states to win in 2024.
On election night it won’t be swing states that determine the outcome because their counts will almost certainly be dubious but the commentators eyes will tell the story as blue states start falling to Trump, just like Reagan when he got 525 electoral votes and 49 states in 1984.
Things that proponents of SMRs have produced:
– mountains of research grants and studies
– bulk funding for military contractors
– theory, cubic bumloads of theory
– one (1) commercially-operating land-based gen IV reactor of 250MW capacity, operated by China which took 20 years to develop
– one (1) commercially-operating floating reactor of 300MW capacity, adapted from icebreaker ships, docked in Russia
Things that proponents of SMRs have not produced:
– a viable SMR in a Western country
– a factory to produce SMRs to access the economies of scale promised by their modularity
– any indication they have solved the economic problems of competing with solar PV
– any indication they have solved the regulatory problems of dotting scores of nuclear installations among populated communities
– any indication they have solved the security problem of defending scores of geographically isolated nuclear installations

Rooftop solar is usually subsidised, to make it appear cheap (the old “privatise the benefits, socialise the costs” trick), quick because the industrial element is outsourced to environmentally irresponsible factories in China, but not clean, because the old panels cannot be recycled, but must be buried in landfill.
And unlike nuclear, coal or gas, the panels must be replaced at frequent intervals. But please keep deluding yourself, while providing amusement to others with your ignorance.

Regarding Professor Robert Clancy’s Quadrant article on the pandemic.
The Queensland government partially justified its banning of the use of Ivermectin because it was in short supply and was needed for its normal purpose of treating worm infestations.
So here we had a deadly pandemic threading the lives of the population and a drug that had been effective against previous viral respiratory infections was not to be used. Looks like worms were also endemic in the population.
The notion that it was in short supply was also nonsense. India was able to supply hundreds of millions of doses on an ongoing basis while we we were subject to a shortage. Pull the other one.
Ivermectin was cheap, safe and effective , none of which could be said about the antivirals currently being prescribed.
This is the greatest medical scandal in history and the prospect of a wide ranging Royal Commission into all aspects of it has been quashed.
So Monty do SMRs exist or not?
It’s 2024 and being developed since 2004 is not relevant.
It’s like refusing to fly on a Dreamliner because of the Wright Bros.

Bitme coin is roaring off.

He was demoted as CEO at the coin’s lows and the stock was only worth a couple of billion. It rallied 25% in US trading last night and now has a market cap of US$20 billion.
Trump got done for fraud mostly on business premises in NY, Chicago and DC, not his home.
Pure unadulterated fantasy. Trump didn’t get done for fraud. To be done for fraud you have to commit a crime. Trump did not commit a crime, period. Trump can legally, just like any citizen in any free country, value his properties at any amount he wants without fear of retribution unless of course the faux retribution is from raging left wing lunatics who will ultimately be found for the corrupt and very stupid morons that they are. Just like the dickheads in Colorado were moron slapped earlier today.
In a sane country Trump was and is free to value his properties at $45 billion or $450 billion if he wants. That is not a crime. What they are worth is not determined by his valuation, they are valued by only two things, neither of which are corrupt left wing District Attorneys, Attorney’s General or moron judges. The value is determined solely by how much a bank wants to value them at in order to loan money against that value or by the person who buys them.
There is no other determinate. As much as you want to open the door for very valid criticism which only highlights your innate stupidity simply by thinking that fine will stand, no amount of your bluster will change the final outcome.
Thanks for the compliment, but my knowledge comes from many discussions with naval personnel, not first hand experience. Though I got to know a bit about missiles from a different job I held earlier in my career.
My direct military experience, such as it was, was as a Reserve Infantryman.
Today, four days after his 101st birthday, Rear Admiral Guy Richmond Griffiths AO DSO DSC RAN passed away after a short illness.
He was the RAN’s first centenarian admiral and one of its finest destroyer captains. Guy Griffiths was also one of the very few men in the RAN to have seen action in World War II, the Korean War and the Vietnam War.
I can post the full obituary if necessary.
Amortiser,
It was the whole country that received that instruction not to use Ivermectin as might be in short supply.
Dr John Campbell did a show on it within a few days of the email going out. I think it was Dr Clancy who probably alerted him to it.
It came only a few days after Joe Rogan had said he used Ivermectin and there was a very obvious campaign against it. This included FDA making a post saying it was for horses despite it being a Nobel prize winning drug for humans.
Dr Pierre Kory has written a book called The War Against Ivermectin which documents the whole saga. (Note to JC – Kory is on Twitter.
One of the bigger pieces in the jigsaw puzzle that shows how we were lied to and fed misinformation.
The link was important, Rooster, and because the comment was exceedingly interesting I wanted to read more. Shoot me for caring so much.
Indeed. Then there is the issue of old Lithium batteries, also very hard to recycle (with the added joy of uncontrollable fires).
Recall that Bruce of N’s brother works in a “recycling” installation, which has them stored on pallets in a large field, where a pallet or two on average goes up each week. So, so cleeeean. Lots of noxious gases into the atmosphere, but radiation!
mUttley’s ignorance is exceeded only by his blind confidence on the content of the latest leftard talking points.
a viable SMR in a Western country
The US has 83 SMRs in their warships, up to 500MW.

Trump wins North Dakota 84.6% to Halley’s 14.2%
“Trump won the North Dakota primary. Because he got more than 60%, he took all the delegates. Most media say he won. They seem not to want to report the actual numbers. Trump won 84.6% against Haley, taking 14.2%. We will see if she refuses to drop out after Super Tuesday. That refusal will warn that conspiracy is alive and well to hang in in hopes Trump can’t be nominated or is assassinated, and she wins by default. I thought Hillary was bad. At least Hillary knows how to pretend. Haley seems to lack finesse.”

My brother was an ETW his missile course in the states went for 2 years, 6 months in San Diego and 18 months in Boston
And of course those courses will continue because in the missile age any military needs highly trained individuals on every platform…. but not everyone needs to be trained at that level.

Thousands upon thousands of people, 22,000 people at any one time, have lived, worked, eaten and slept within a stone’s throw of these nuclear reactors for 60 years with no adverse effects from radiation at all.
Annual radiation doses to Navy personnel have averaged only 0.005 rem/year (5 mrem/year; 0.05 mSv/year), a thousand times less than the federal 5 rem/year allowed for radworkers. Normal background radiation in the United States varies from 100 mrem/year to over 1,000 mrem/year.
The Nuclear Navy has logged over 5,400 reactor years of accident-free operations and travelled over 130 million miles on nuclear energy, enough to circle the earth 3,500 times.
From the time of the USS Nautilus in 1954, to the present, no civilian or military personnel on these ships has ever exceeded any Federal radiation limit. And none of those more than a hundred thousand people has ever been harmed by radiation from reactors or facilities with which they were so intimately in contact.

In a 2011 interview with HipHopDX, B.G. Knocc Out stated, “I believe in my heart somebody did something to Eric. Whether it was Jerry [Heller], whether it was [his widow] Tomica [Woods-Wright], I have yet to really know the truth about it. But, for a person to have full-blown AIDS [that quickly is suspicious]. My little brother, his father died from full-blown AIDS … from sharing a needle [’cause] he was [an addict]. Now, I seen this man go through these stages, from HIV to full-blown AIDS.”
“And, when you get a cold, any little thing like that, your whole immune system shut down. So you have to go into the hospital just to recover. Now, to be around Eric for the last three years of his life and he never had an episode like this — never ever — something is strange, something is real odd. And then you gon’ come out and tell me when the man go in there for bronchitis, you gon’ come out and tell me this man had full-blown AIDS.

JC,
Whenever you use the word Rooster it is a clue you are being your usual snarky self.
Dr Pierre Kory on Twitter. He is easy to find. Strangely enough of all the Drs who have spoken out about Covid / Vax he was the first I came across and noted in 2020. Even before heard of any of the Australian Drs.
Iirc Zippster was buying (very expensive) ivermectin from India and then said he thought a lot of it was fake.
No doubt in the circumstances of an explosion of demand Australia was experiencing a shortage of pharmaceutical quality ivermectin (produced by Merck) which is used to treat scabies which is sadly endemic in certain communities in Australia.

Sorry Cats, my post is explicitly about SMRs that have been operating on US Navy ships for 75 years.

STAGGERING Number Of Extra Deaths – And They’re Trying To HIDE It
Obituary by Vice Admiral Peter Jones AO DSC RAN Ret’d:
On 5 March, four days after his 101st birthday, Rear Admiral Guy Richmond Griffiths AO DSO DSC RAN passed away after a short illness. He was the RAN’s first centenarian admiral and one of its finest destroyer captains. Guy Griffiths was also one of the very few men in the RAN to have seen action in World War II, the Korean War and the Vietnam War.
Guy Griffiths was born in Sydney on 1 March 1923 in Sydney to Guy (snr) and Edith nee Kelman. They were Hunter Valley vignerons and descended from the earliest pioneers of the wine industry in the Hunter. Guy’s childhood around Rothbury was bucolic and gave him a keen interest in wine making and its associated machinery. There was, however, little money in the wine industry in the 1930s and so Guy Griffiths joined the Royal Australian Naval College in 1937 as a 13 year old with the initial intent of becoming an engineering officer. Discipline was strict but he excelled in sport, becoming the College athletics champion and later the Chief Cadet Captain.
In 1941 Guy Griffiths and four other midshipmen sailed to England and joined the battle cruiser HMS Repulse for midshipman training. While waiting for his ship Guy Griffiths stayed with Lionel and Myrtle Logue of the King’s Speech movie fame. Repulse was a happy and well drilled ship and initially took part in the hunt for the German battleship Bismarck before escorting a convoy to the Indian Ocean. As tensions with Japan grew Repulse joined the new battleship HMS Prince of Wales and sailed to Singapore as a deterrent. On 7-8 December Japan conducted a series of surprise attacks on Pearl Harbor, the Philippines and Malaya. Repulse and Prince of Wales sailed to interdict Japanese forces but were caught by land based torpedo bombers and both were sunk. Guy Griffiths was among the 459 who survived Repulse’s sinking, but classmate, Robert Davies was lost with 507 others.
Guy Griffiths returned to the UK to continue his training and obtained his bridge watch-keeping certificate in the destroyer HMS Vivien, then escorting convoys off the east coast. In 1943 he joined the heavy cruiser HMAS Shrosphire, newly refitted and transferred to the RAN to replace HMAS Canberra, sunk in the Battle of Savo Island. Shropshire had a first class ship’s company, led by the Navy’s most famous officer Captain John Collins. In November 1943 Shropshire joined the Australian-US Task Group 74 and took part in operations in New Guinea and then the Philippines. Guy Griffiths served as the port Air Defence Officer, responsible for co-ordinating half of the ships anti-aircraft defences. In the Battle of Leyte Gulf the ships were subjected to repeated kamikaze attacks. Shropshire also took part in the last battleship action, the Battle of Surigao Strait and in early 1945 was heavily involved in the Battle of Lingayen Gulf. Guy Griffiths was awarded the Distinguished Service Cross for his “marked leadership, ability and courage as Air Defence Officer during the Lingayen operations when subjected to suicide bombings by Japanese aircraft”. He was onboard Shropshire for the Japanese surrender in Tokyo Bay on 15 August 1945.
In 1946 Guy Griffiths completed the Long Gunnery Course in the UK and after exchange service ashore he returned to Australia in the newly commissioned aircraft carrier HMAS Sydney. After a posting to the RAN’s Gunnery School at HMAS Cerberus he undertook two tours of duty in the Korean War. The first as gunnery officer of Sydney and then of the destroyer HMAS Anzac. The latter ship was involved in close bombardment of enemy positions along both coasts of the peninsula. Guy Griffiths returned to the UK in 1955 to be the commissioning gunnery officer of the new aircraft carrier HMAS Melbourne. She was the first warship Guy was not to experience wartime service. The following year on promotion to Commander, Guy Griffiths joined the Fleet Commander’s staff as the Fleet Operations Officer and embarked in Melbourne. The ship undertook multiple Asian deployments and in 1957 while in Hong Kong, Guy Griffiths met his future wife, Carla Mengert, who was then on the staff of the West German Consulate.
In 1958 Guy Griffiths served in Navy Office and was part of its move from Melbourne to Canberra in the following year. The same year he and Carla were married. In 1961 Guy Griffiths commissioned the new Cockatoo Island built Type 12 frigate HMAS Parramatta. She and the equally new Williamtown build HMAS Yarra undertook a deployment as part of the South East Asian Strategic Reserve. After a successful commission, Guy was promoted to Captain in 1963 and served as Director of Tactics, Trials and Staff Requirements. He was involved in preparing the Navy for the introduction of the guided missile destroyers and successfully advocated for the last batch of Type 12 frigates (Swan and Torrens) to incorporate the latest design features of the RN Leander class.
In 1965 Guy Griffiths commissioned in the USA, the second of the RAN’s Charles F Adams class destroyers, HMAS Hobart. Importantly, he organised, for the first time for an RAN ship, to undertake the full US Navy work-up program, the sophistication of which was a revelation to those who took part. Guy Griffiths would later advocate for its modified adoption into the RAN. In 1967 the Hobart became the first RAN destroyer to take part in the Vietnam War. The ship spent 160 days at sea in her 204 day deployment. She had fired over 10,000 5-inch rounds at 1,050 targets. Hobart was engaged by enemy shore batteries on nine occasions, but only suffered minor shrapnel damage. During that time Guy Griffiths impressed Rear Admiral Walter Coombs Jr USN with his ability to ‘grasp the essentials of complex situations and to act promptly and precisely, and a deft and sure hand in handling his ship’. Hobart received a US Navy Unit Commendation whilst Guy Griffiths was appointed to the Distinguished Service Order and awarded the US Legion of Merit.
After his Vietnam War service Guy Griffiths was promoted to Commodore and in late 1967 became Naval Adviser to the Chief of Naval Staff, Royal Malaysian Navy. There he formed a lifetime friendship with the first Malaysian born CNS, the young Commodore K. ‘Thana’ Thanabalasingham. Attendance at the Imperial Defence College in London followed and thereafter a return to Navy Office as Director-General Operations and Plans. In Canberra, Guy Griffiths was involved in developing the Navy’s argument for the retention for an aircraft carrier, as well as indigenous designed and built destroyers that embodied the lessons from recent conflicts. He was frustrated by the Navy leadership’s uneven advocacy of these issues. In 1974 he took command of the Navy’s flagship Melbourne. Unusually during his tenure, she did not undertake the now routine deployment to Asia, rather she deployed to the US to pick-up the RAAF’s new Chinook and additional Iroquois helicopters, take part in Exercise Kangaroo One, memorably led the RAN Fleet to assist the ravaged Darwin after Cyclone Tracy and then take part in Exercise RIMPAC 75 off Hawaii. In her long career, Guy Griffiths was regarded as one of the Melbourne’s most able captains.
In 1975 Guy Griffiths became Director-General Naval Personnel and he led the Junior Officers Structure Study. Personnel matters had been an abiding interest of Guy Griffiths and here he made one of his most significant contributions to the Navy. The resulting review brought together all officer ab initio training to HMAS Creswell. Guy Griffiths was also keen to better professionalise and educate officers through the establishment of a Navy Staff Course in Australia. This was achieved, when in 1976, he was promoted to Rear Admiral and became Chief of Naval Personnel. Other areas in which he made strides was in improving career management for officers and sailors and he was an early champion for re-enlistment bonuses for sailors. Another important legacy was his introduction into the Navy of an annual fitness test. In 1979 Guy Griffiths became Commander Naval Support Command. With the position of CNS going to classmate Jim Willis, Guy retired on 17 January 1980, just ten days before the 43rd anniversary of his joining the Naval College.
In his post naval career Guy Griffiths most notably served as the National President of the Australian Veterans’ and Defence Services’ Council (AVADSC) for 24 years. He was also a Director of the Australian Vietnam War Veterans’ Trust for 18 years and the inaugural Chief Executive Officer of North Shore Heart Research Foundation. For a time Guy Griffiths was also President of the Naval Historical Society of Australia as well as Patron of the HMS Prince of Wales and HMS Repulse Survivors’ Association, the HMAS Canberra-Shropshire Association and the HMAS Hobart Association.
In 2021 his biography Guy Griffiths: The Life and Times of an Australian Admiral was published. In his 100th year Guy Griffiths travelled to UK for one last time and he was only the ninth NSW centenarian to be holding a driver’s licence.
When Guy Griffiths joined the Navy, bi-planes still operated from its large ships and some of its men had seen action in the Boxer Rebellion. Perhaps he, more than any other man, experienced the Navy’s journey from its Depression-era strictures, its darkest days in the face of the Japanese onslaught, its finest hour in the Philippines Campaign and then its reinvention as a capable middle-power Navy, centred on aircraft carriers in the missile age. Professionally, Guy Griffiths’ greatest legacy was his outstanding command of Hobart in the Vietnam War, which paved the way for subsequent successful deployments by other RAN ships in that theatre. As a Rear Admiral he was, with his spruce comportment and his determination to achieve substantive reforms, the epitome of a Flag Officer to all serving in the Navy.
He is survived by his two children Eric and Guy and their families.

Rosie,
I am not on Facebook so can’t comment. I am surprised FB would even allow such a comment.
I would have thought My Le is one who FB might have paid attention to as her comments are anti Government to say the least. It is known that Federal Health did have a system in place to tip off social media companies about people breaching social media guidelines. This was revealed during questioning in Senate estimates several months ago. Might have stopped now.
The main point with her is her fight against the regulatory body regarding Ivermectin. She is not one I would have speaking up about Covid and Vax etc as there are many more knowledgeable than her.
No Kidding Dot.
I have zero interest in Bitme as I just don’t get it and perhaps I’m too old. But you were the dude who’s been on this thing since I can recall. You’ve been a total believer, pushing it like crazy.
It didn’t sound like it was just your brain that made you a believer, it was your gut too.
You only get a few trades like that in your life and you shouldn’t waste it. You could’ve made retirement with little risk on this trade when it was down at US$15.5 K. You were pushing it hard then, even when the mountain of negativity was against you. You should’ve made big green, dude.
You know how deep I am in gold.
I’m like a Toyota dealership. I may look respectable, but I’ll buy a bad asset book deep. DEEP. A derro with pet feral rats and bankruptcy is good for a lease, I reckon.
I found out about BTC in early 2010. I thought it was absolutely wonderful. I think they were still giving it away back then, LOL!
BTC will be oppressed again like in 2017 – 2018 by regulators and go down, again.
I think it will also rebound, even harder next time.
Let’s consider if SHIB moons.
No, that sounds crazy even to me.

DR PIERRE KORY ON TWITTER.
Dude, if that was the beginning, they started trading for a couple of hundred bucks each. if you had played just a little leverage you could be up US$100 million on that or more.
Don’t ever avoid a trade when your brain, heart and gut tell you to buy or sell.
Gold’s breaking up against the US$. If you have it against the Aussie you should do well. Aussie’s breaking lower I think too. The iron ore price is down again a couple of bucks to US$114 and change, which will put a downside risk on the Aussie. If you feel strongly, but some more with a stop just below the previous high. Lever up.
Arent they splitting BTC and having ETFs on them, probably why its been on a run.
Knock another zero off SHIB, good luck
It went to 60 K before the collapse. Your run was from the beginning to that high.
I don’t know how much but I think my son has made very serious money on Bitcoin.
Luckily he did not listen to me when I told him to sell just over 2 years ago when had the big drop to about a quarter of what it was.
Last few minutes funny as. Woke turd world patronisers winning Darwin Awards.
I’ve heard that Caveman, but the buying is really concerted and forceful. This thing is almost US70K and looks really well bid.
Top Ender @06:10pm.
Thanks for posting that obituary for Rear Admiral Griffiths.
I bought Textron in the early part of December at around 76’s and it’s now close to touching $90. I bought some more last night and Friday and putting my stop at the old purchase price. If I lose money it won’t be much, but this is my big trade. Private jet travel is going to sky rocket after all the bullshit, and the big airports in the US are hell of earth. I reckon anyone with a net worth of US$50 million or even lower is chewing on the idea of traveling in private jets even if they’re just buying surplus tickets. This stock could make to 140 bucks a share. It’s nothing like the Bitcoin move though. Old man stocks is my game these days.
This might get interesting…
On face value any company which has hit its DIE targets is a plump target looking at lawsuit after lawsuit.
https://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2024/mar/04/diversity-lawsuit-trump-adviser-cbs-seal-team
According to the CBS Entertainment Group’s CEO, George Cheeks, in a 2022 interview, the network set a goal that all writers’ rooms on primetime series must consist of at least 40% minorities for the 2021-2022 season, and that 17 of 21 shows hit or exceeded that target. That goal was pushed to half of all series for the 2022-2023, as part of an effort to “more accurately reflect diversity both on-screen and behind-the-camera”.
The suit claims that such practices “created a situation where heterosexual, white men need ‘extra’ qualifications (including military experience or previous writing credits) to be hired as staff writers when compared to their nonwhite, LGBTQ, or female peers”.
The complaint claims violations of the 1866 Civil Rights Act, which bars racial discrimination in the making of private contracts, and title VII of the 1964 Civil Rights Act, which bars employment discrimination based on race, sex, religion and other characteristics. The complaint further questions the legality of corporate diversity, equity and inclusion programs that specifically address race, many of which were implemented or bolstered after the nationwide Black Lives Matter protests in 2020.
Should clarify the time I told him to sell was when it was about $62,000 and I suggested he sold half to put it into something less volatile.
Only a few months later it was less than 1/4 value and I never said a word. Neither has he as it have zoomed up again. Might explain why more recently he has been happy to pay for family dinners.

The only thing that explains the implacable stupidity of people like Monty re nuclear energy is politics.

The damage will be done though. I’ll guarantee Nutrien will be so wary that in future they’ll stipulate clients must provide only male staff for any sale-day duties, likely including the steak sandwich stall.
They have to be strident because they know it’s not true.
db, the situation with Australia in 2024 and France in 1974 – the only sane way to construct such an analogy – is so different as to make any comparison meaningless. If the French back then had access to super cheap PVs like we do now, they would have covered the Pyrenees with them.
I have to laugh when you lot bring up France as an analogy, always in the worst faith possible. You want their abortion laws and nuke farms, but absolutely nothing else about their policy mix. Cherry picking at its finest.
What’s going to make France unattractive to visit is the proliferation of wind turbines in the countryside.
Trump got done for fraud, Digger. Here’s the relevant statute.
That’s right; as I said dickless, 63:12. Which requires a victim and a quantified loss; none exists; just like your dick. Produce details of the previous conviction.
No skimpy gear.
Once you pass a certain age it’s best not to look even if there’s a display.
Nutrien are turning themselves inside out – ONE other customer at the sale complained.
No it doesn’t, cohenite. Trump and his lawyers specifically complained about that part of it.
Is there a depth of embarrassment you haven’t plumbed yet with your constant wrongness? You’re at Mariana Trench levels.
Fatboy
At the most, the fine and the bullshit about raping that disgusting slapper is going to appeal. There’s zero chance either the state appeals court or the SCOTUS would allow such unconstitutional confiscation.

I’m sure you thought of it, but in case you haven’t, every time you leave the premises take a picture of the meter and then again when you return.
Yep – we are going to record readings every day we are on the premises. But you are right – a photo is better.
You want their abortion laws and nuke farms,

mole: as you would know if you weren’t a moron, the right has been using France’s previously-strict abortion laws as a talking point for decades before this week.
Thanks for reminding us of the good news though, allez!
Which requires a victim and a quantified loss
No it doesn’t, cohenite.
Yes they do dickless; and intent; which was not present either. Just because that weird bag of bones engoron and that fat slut letitia disavowed these essential terms doesn’t man they aren’t conditions under the section.
Now present details of Trump’s previous conviction.

The girls were guilty of leaning on a tractor – at exactly the wrong/right moment for a photo that gave a very misleading impression.
They were hired to liaise with buyers. I’ve done similar work at clearing sales, it is hard work on a long day (clearing sales usually last until the sun goes down, does wonders for the buyers, helps the vendors no end, & is much appreciated by the agents.

the right has been using France’s previously-strict abortion laws as a talking point for decades before this week.
Monty is on a voyage of discovery where he finds out the difference between “was” and “is”.
This is an important concept in many parts of life, we can only hope and pray, that with time and the help of his family, he stops shouting “put the TV on, its time for Hey hey its Saturday” every weekend.
What is it about the human errata that makes him pick consistently wrong “facts” out of an ocean of possible right ones?
It cant be dumb luck, hes too consistent for that.
I met a young lady today on The Great Ocean Rd who was riding her pushbike with a Jack Russell on the back. I stopped to take a picture and asked her where she was going. Perth she replied
Wow !!
I’m not constructing an analogy.
This misses my point which is that France is typically attractive to Leftist politics but you and other midwit Leftists lose their mind, become angry and dimwitted when confronted with their reliance on nuclear for power.

The Nuclear Navy has logged over 5,400 reactor years of accident-free operations and travelled over 130 million miles on nuclear energy, enough to circle the earth 3,500 times.
If I recall a statement by the late Tom Clancy in his book ‘Carrier’, they can thank Admiral Hyman Rickover as he knew the first nuclear reactor accident would be the last. So he was ruthless in running the program safely.

I’m watching the brief (7 mins I think) Youtube clip now.
Indolent’s blurb (above) is correct: A bloke – obviously Caucasian – in England’s north, has been jailed for 2 years for distributing and putting up stickers in public places with a mix of messages, none of which (according to this Youtube channel) the Crown Prosecution Service considered terribly important or threatening.
The host makes a decent point about the subjectivity of ‘hate speech’ versus the objective measuring of incitement to violence.
The host then makes a comparison between the sticker man (above), and a recent case of a Kuwaiti migrant found guilty of three counts (including one of penetration of an underage female) of sexual assault, and was sentenced to … 180 hours of community service!
[NOTE: The clip did not provide any details about ‘sticker man,’ so I can only hope that what has been presented about his case has been done in good faith, and has not omitted anything significant].

Dickless is obviously expressing his daily quota of chest milk for the milko’s kiddies so I’ll address his syphilitic claim that the law fat letitia charged Trump with doesn’t require a victim or a quantifiable loss. The law is 63:12. The key words are restitution and damages. Restitution requires a victim and a loss and damages the same. Any monies recovered are governed by subdivision eleven of section four of the state finance law which repeats the restitution and damage criteria.
But instead of collecting monies for restitution and damages which was impossible because there was no victim or loss, the weird Judge has instead described his punishment as a disgorgement. Disgorgement is a remedy requiring a party who profits from illegal or wrongful acts to give up any profits they made as a result of that illegal or wrongful conduct. But under 63:12 there was no wrongful act because there was no fuking victim or loss!
Disgorgement and restitution are completely different legal concepts and neither are relevant to the fact of this bullshit case against Trump.
So there it is. If dickless comes back tell him to drop dead from me, metaphorically speaking. I have some work to do.

I’ve been thinking. What precisely do you need to start making sumfink if robotics and artificial intelligence (AI) alter material aspects of manufacturing? A factory, computers, and robots are required. You don’t need many people.
As a result, nations like China will suffer greatly if AI proves to be helpful in that kind of environment—which I believe it will—because it is never easy to start again when it comes to revolutionary processes with legacy operations like theirs. When less labor is needed and factories are essentially robot operations, it will be easier for countries like the US to re-shore. It’s happening now.
Thoughts? What are the figures for Australia?
Here’s the thing about AI. I’m not at all sure that it will be the huge hit at the regular consumer type end such as Chat, Gemini or Grok. At least not for a long while. I think the real revolution is going to be in commerce and in a huge way. At least, I think the utility spike will be felt at the business end much more so at the beginning.

Dover – AMD are Nvidia’s competitor in graphics cards. Nvidia’s share price just went to orbit because their graphics cards are also used for AIs (and Bitcoin mining, Dot would like that… 😀 ). I am sure AMD wants in on that business. Their hardware is good, it’s been neck and neck between Nvidia and AMD for a couple decades now. I’ve had graphics card from either company at times, they both do great stuff.
The card architecture is massively parallel, which allows for graphics to be done sideways not linear. AI is similar, the work is broken down into millions of small pieces before being reassembled as a graphic or whatever the user asked for.

Because of the heritage nature of the Chinese industrial base, there will certainly be some automation in the future, but not a lot. It is quite difficult for large legacy enterprises to adopt innovative practices, particularly when there is a significant investment in plant and equipment. Starting again would be far simpler than drastically altering an established operation. That’s just my opinion.
With its increasingly rigid top-down political system, China is also resembles a fascist economic model. It is wrong, wrong and wrong to call China a communist country. It’s not, it’s fascist and it’s economic is too.
There’s also the issue of how demographics come into play. Older folk are resistant to change.
Banks can do anything they like to assess lending proposals. And they certainly do not take valuations at face or stated value. For example in Private Banking loans can be made on the security of art or racehorses or shares of family trusts … all of which have subjective valuations.
I think Trumps mistakes were that he didn’t just claim his buildings were worth a lot more than the market values, everyone does that. Instead he made material errors in the size of the buildings. Its a detail but a very important one.
Apologies for the sequence of posts, but this one will be my last on the subject tonight, and it’s a decent one:
According to a YouTube story (5 mins), a Christian street preacher in Scotland who was arrested for ‘hate speech’ on the basis of two complainants [he was not charged with a criminal offence, but was listed in a ‘hate speech register’], challenged his experience in court and was awarded five thousand British Pounds in compensation for unlawful detention.
Fascinating news if true, and perhaps a key to potential future action (though I know personally from my experience of the Covidiocy that the courts generally are unfavourable).
Alrighty, I’ll hand the reins back to Indolent now…

cohenite, you are repeating the Trump lawyers’ argument in court, which was comprehensively rebutted by Judge Engoron, citing his own precedent.
That argument already lost. It is not going to look much better on appeal. If he wants to appeal, though, Trump will have to empty his cash reserves, and/or get in hock to some shady characters.

No, I like you, I haven’t seen them, but I’ve seen images and vids etc.
Very. But where’s the competitive edge when you require very few people to operate a factory floor, because it’s robotized to the hilt and AI is running most of the operation?
At that point, why is it cheaper to commence a new operation in China than it would be in Buttfcuk Ohio? Or even in Australia for that matter.
Hardly. He was the judge in the first instance. Engoron’s ruling here is quite vulnerable to appeal.
Except the banks did their own valuations and lent appropriately. The shareholders aren’t a party with criminal or civil standing.
The idea that insurers incur a loss by over or under insuring assets is hilarious.
They don’t. They make a mint on agreed value and under insurance is a scam they perpetuate on everyone else.
m0nty you stupid @#$$%.
The customer valuations were irrelevant and were ignored by the bank.
They gave evidence that it was not used at all, and they performed their own due diligence.
They lent the money and were repaid in full. Where is the fraud? Where is any loss?
The valuation may have been at a high end, but it is an asset which in the 80’s was valued at $18mil, let alone now.
Sticking a number on value you believe something is worth is just that and to make it a crime is crazy.
US prosecutions especially in Federal crime spheres has made US a police state.
The process is the punishment and 95% charged plead to get a better deal than be bankrupted by the trial.

They don’t need to be. The question was whether anyone was harmed by Trump Org activities and I suggested shareholders. The fraud was more about building details than valuations which are always subject to agreement between parties.

Manufacturing requires energy.
Have you not noticed that governments have spent decades wrecking our energy markets? State of the power grid? Hello. Anyone home?
Manufacturing requires transportation. Did you not notice what just occurred on the Westgate bridge today?
Manufacturing requires real estate. Have you not noticed how regulated, expensive, taxed and controlled real estate is in the West?
Manufacturing requires the disposal of waste, have you not noticed the regulation and “greenhouse gas” hysteria fuelled regulation and expense around landfill in the West?
Manufacturing, with or without AI, requires employees who understand complex processes. Have you failed to notice that a western education now consists of blue haired freaks doing gender studies and angling for an industry destroying position on a board?
Wake the f### up.
Here is an exercise for you. Take any manufactured good. Say, car axles. Explain how AI would in any way shape or form alter how car axles are manufactured. Not designed. Manufactured. Explain how AI will change the process of transporting steel from a foundry to a factory, putting said steel into a lathe, (which are already robotic fed and computer numerically controlled and have been for decades) turning the steel into an axle and delivering it to a warehouse.
If car axles are too damn hard for you, imagine a machine that makes f@@@ing spaghetti.
Automation has been a “thing” since the dawn of the Industrial Revolution, you moronic zombie troll. In fact, it’s been going on since the invention of the wheel.
Trans, STFU and go to bed.
Here’s the thing. Trump’s valuation and the bank’s valuations are realistic. They are normal relative to nearby neighbouring properties.
James/Energon’s valuations are orders of magnitude smaller than either. They have no basis in reality. They are not comparable to any nearby or similar properties.
Arguably they are acting with malice, abusing process and committing fraud.

There are two morons here. You and the AC guy, but don’t let that get in the way of you giving us a thought leadership rant.
If it’s not allowed to occur here, and allowed is the operative word, it will occur in the US. In fact, reshoring is already commencing in the southern states. But be that as it may, you stasist twit, if it doesn’t occur in the West, a massive revolution will occur in the next decade at a scale that will be mind-blowing.
AI will be operating most of the factory floor through robotics in a much bigger way than is currently being seen in the most advanced factories, like Tesla. You know right, where nearly all the assembly is being done by robotic arms.
But what about ship repairs, you say. Right?

Yes. I’m the statist because I point out to you that over regulation makes your stupid fantasy impossible.
As always, driven by a tribalist ideology you think there is a shortcut to doing the hard work of winding back government overreach. Like you thought offshoring would destroy Union bastardry and open borders would destroy the welfare state.
Have you not yet understood that it doesn’t work?
Union bastardry just moved into other sectors after your ilk offshored manufacturing. The welfare state just expanded into a massive, self sustaining industry fed by refugees and social breakdown.
Parties that previously catered to the working classes who you despise turned instead to identity politics and importing voters.
You are such a small government purist you don’t understand that moving government revenue collection from the small sums that could be raised from tariffs in the 1800s to income tax during World War Two and then to broad consumption taxes later, led to a massive expansion of government revenues and thus ** ta da** to a massive increase in the size of government.
But you won’t learn. You remain isolated from the fallout.
So go ahead. Imagine that Western countries are about to undergo an AI led manufacturing revival. The opposite is true. Having with the assistance of the likes of you destroyed Western manufacturing, the shits are turning their eyes to destroying Western agriculture.
Or have you missed what is occurring in Europe?
It was warmish and Sliema but over in Valletta there’s a stiffish breeze and I’m glad I stuck with the warm jacket and beanie.

I am lunching at the museum cafe for old time’s sake (a ftira). I think I’ll revisit the archaeological museum around the corner as I am planning to bus out to a site later this week and want to refresh my memory.
