Smelling salts for the faire sex. Neat whisky for stout males. Choose accordingly.

The more shibboleths, delusions, false assumptions are trialled on this blog the more I distrust the “experts” who determine our lives. Oh how I long for the innocence that fired up the search for “truth” decades ago. When even a modicum of the “truth” emerges it is not a pleasant sight.
Husband and I have been mulling over the idea that we lived in the best of times. We hope that we can provide enough security for our family to survive in a society which is continually undermined by those who determine its future.
My bad. I thought ‘Smelling’ was a brand name for a salt you pour onto a fresh roasted side of ox to be washed down with a mighty bumper or two of Claret while you watch the champions of two villages of sworn eternal enmity set about each other with claymore (swords) and bad language.

I don’t get it. You can’t be racist against white people.
A person who hates all people is a racist because they are slagging off blacks, Asians, Arabs etc but not white people – because you cannot be racist against whitey – so the are racist against everyone else.
This is the genesis of white supremacy.

The last have only commissioned officers and are regarded as ‘non armed services’ – NOAA is an interesting throwback to WW1, so ocean surveyors would not be shot as spies, they were commissioned & therefore accorded protections under teh various Prisoner conventions.
The fountain of youth is … a T cell?
The T cells were engineered to eliminate senescent cells. Senescent cells are implicated in aging because they have stopped replicating and release inflammatory mediating molecules. Many studies find high levels of senescent cells cause problems and can accelerate aging. No doubt there are billionaires now offering huge sums to have their T cells harvested and engineered.
Never go to West Perth with more cash than required for 2 flat whites. One of my graduate rotations was through NAB Hay St. Luckily I was naive enough to the depravity I was exposed too. I think the branch was kept on a pretty short leash by those higher up the food chain.

Atonement will come with equality, defined by the elimination of disparities and the long overdue providence of parities.
Megan sounds like a compete pain in the arse and is up to her vagina in the scandal of some poor bastard who caught 3 3rd nation nippies swimming in a private pool after damaging the fence to get in.

Let’s sum this up: ‘I want to steal from you because I’m lazy, self-centred*, and devoid of self-esteem; and I want YOU to feel guilty that I haven’t stolen ENOUGH from you.’
* These are universal human attributes and have NOTHING to do with killture [pronounced ‘culture’], however you choose to define the latter. This is all about gaining and maintaining a feeling of superiority over others by deceiving them. That’s it. Perceiving that you have intellectually or emotionally triumphed over another person gives some people a feeling of ‘power’ which substitutes for a lack of meaning or self-esteem in their own life. The racial aspect is the gloss on the decorations on the icing on the cake.
OK.
Depends on the mood in Ukraine and the terms of any treaty. Some will take that view regardless, but I suspect others are now philosophical about the prospect of relinquishing land in exchange for peace. A partition seems unavoidable.
You just made all that up.

Just devastated to hear that the son of Joel Fitzgibbon, who was in the RAAF, was killed last night in a routine parachuting training exercise.
When so few of our young men want to enlist in our ADF, it is particularly tragic to lose one of our young defence personnel.
Yep. And they still have a country.
Call me Loretta.
And gift me a few board positions.
“Today I am also pleased to say that the government will use its purchasing power to better support gender equality outcomes,” she said.
“We’ll use the workplace gender equality reporting framework to make it a rule that, in order to win government work, businesses with 500 or more employees must commit to targets to improve gender equality in their workplaces.
“These targets will focus on the gender makeup of their boards and the workforce; equal pay; flexible working arrangements; workplace consultation on gender equality; and efforts to prevent and address sexual harassment.”
Gallagher said the measure would ensure that “women are getting a fairer slice” of the $70bn spent by the government procuring goods and services.
According to the strategy, big businesses will have to “commit to and achieve workplace targets against at least three” gender equality indicators.
These are: the gender composition of governing bodies and of the workforce, equal remuneration, flexibility and care friendly work arrangements, workplace consultation on gender equality, and efforts to prevent and address sexual harassment.
..
Gallagher also said the government “will introduce stronger targets for women on government boards and advisory bodies”.
In a statement Gallagher said “women’s representation on Australian Government boards is at a record high of 51.6% but that representation is uneven”.
So even though they are overrepresented, they need more quotas.
Seconded, Vicki.
I thought of losing those four ADF personnel during Talisman Sabre last tear.
Oldest son knew the junior officer.
The soldier killed in the parachute accident was LCPL Jack Fitzgibbon, son of Joel Fitzgibbon ex Defence Minister. Bad news all round.
Whatever Trump says it is, unless European NATO wants to get serious about its own defence.

I don’t have any idea, DB. The problem is that Russia exported Communism to the West and let it do its evil work while it died in Russia.
The joke of course is that NATO is so thoroughly weakened by the Communists efforts, that it can’t resist the the armies the Russians can’t muster.
It’s like something out of Monty Python.

Paul Monk has written an excellent analysis in the latest Quadrant Online of the current threat of Chinese espionage:
https://quadrant.org.au/magazine/2012/06/chinese-espionage-and-australia-s-national-interest/
One of Paul Monk’s conclusions re the Chinese espionage threat to Oz:
In any case, the West has done far more damage to itself through economic mismanagement than the Soviet Union or China has ever done to it through espionage. The debts that are now all but bankrupting the United States, the EU and Japan were not caused by Chinese spies. China’s surge in economic growth was not accomplished by China’s spies. Nor will China’s massive thefts avail it very much, unless it is able to become far more technologically creative and unless we in the West continue to fumble the economic football. Sure, China is pouring resources into a huge peacetime military build-up, but the most acute imbalances and shifting balances in the world are those of productivity and solvency. If we are to get our counter-intelligence and defence strategies right, we must keep a sense of proportion and ensure that we fight only those battles that really matter and only when we can win them.
The chief battle, then and now, is economic, and it’s a battle the West is losing. In 2010, Nobel laureate in economics Robert Fogel estimated that, by 2040, China’s GDP will have soared to $US123 trillion, or about eight times the current US GDP; and that China’s gross domestic product will be 40 per cent of world output, or twice the combined output of the USA and the EU. That, he concluded, is what Chinese economic hegemony will look like. At the same time, the US Congressional Budget Office was estimating that US national debt would climb to as much as 700 per cent of GDP by 2080. We live, of course, in a time of such extravagant and alarming projections, including the more alarming climate change scenarios. They should be used to concentrate the mind; they should not be permitted to take it over. I am sceptical of such long-range linear extrapolations. China, as its own premier pointed out publicly on March 14, faces enormous hurdles in the years immediately ahead, and 2080 is a very long way off.

Okay,
Last entry on Bird’s blog.
More shit smeared “gold” from Bird back in August last year:
You walk through the enchanted forest and happen upon a chocolate rabbi sitting on a rock. He says use my poison needle for …….. Reasons.
Reasons say the birds. Reasons say the trees. Reasons say the furry animals that play, jump and laugh near your feet.
Of course you refuse but upon returning to the village you find that everyone has met the rabbi and most of them used his poisoned needle. Some were smothered by the trees. Some were eaten by the small animals. But we must give thanks and praise to the chocolate rabbi since most survived and were eligible for promotion.
But here is the thing. Those who refused the needle were only allowed to work minimum wage thereafter. So the rabbi had placed an institutional filter on the villages labour market.
Nothing like this could happen in the modern world but you are missing the point if you think I am merely arguing against aether denial or special relativity. I am saying they are so stupid and so maliciously idiotic that they were set up as institutional filters for physics.
Only by way of a century of these institutional filters in place could you wind up with physicists so completely retarded.

Ms Murphy’s accused murderer appeared at the Ballarat Magistrates’ Court on Thursday afternoon.
Despite objections from media, the court ruled the name of the man charged with her alleged murder would be suppressed.
Why would the court suppress the name of the accused when everyone knows that it is Patrick Stephenson?

Speculation over peace talks at this point in the war is a wank. Neither side is anywhere close to the other in their demands. That is the point I was making.
No fossils, no artefacts. An mtDNA analysis of Tasmanian aborigines found they were derived from mainland aborigines and had no genetic relationship to the negritos of SE Asia. Without other evidence a few photos doesn’t prove anything.

It was Trump who began arming Ukraine. It wouldn’t shock me he’d send in troops if Vlad was being unreasonable. Ukraine neutrality is almost impossible after this invasion.
Face facts. Russia has been a predatory state for hundreds of years. All they would need to do is wait for the next weak US president and cause commotion in Ukraine again as a pretext to another attempt at partial or full annexation. It’s not as though this would be a revelation to anyone.
After the break up of the Warsaw pact any country that could ran to NATO for one simple reason. They were deadly worried about Russia.
And if Vlad is being childish, Trump could yank the US$300 billion and hand it to Ukraine in some way as further punishment.

Putin farked up too badly to just accept the tiny amounts of extra land bought by all the russian body count and equipment losses. He will keep fighting until another war or internal conflict provides cover for declaring victory and going home. Or until Xi gives him the call.
Those of you that want to give mutley upticks remember he only gets anything right by accident.the only time he was right was over a stupid be JC took and had to suffer through a lunch date with the porker. And I don’t mean britnee.
Just cope Dover. It’s been a stalemate since the early part of the invasion other than the back and forth. You keep believing that the great Soviet union has the running dogs scared and in retreat, but it’s basically a stalemate since the first couple of months of this ‘special military operation”

Outside of politics, the fat idiot is a nice person.
Look, I have a close friend who I called the other day. He turned off the car radio to chat saying he had it on Radio National. Sometimes, you have to ignore politics and be gracious like Jesus. 🙂

The Chinks dont work at war ? Why would they .. Their Aerospace Industry is utterly gobbling Boeings Play Lunch .. Why shed blood? Where is the profit in that?
begging = beginning.
He’s not stupid enough to send troops into Ukraine. The worst he could do is continue to fund a losing war that will only get worse for Ukraine. Trump doesn’t strike me as the kind of guy that endlessly funds a losing endeavour.
This is almost mutating into Godwin’s Law.

I hope it doesnt stand for Jesus Christ?
If it does, does that make David Gonski Judas, or Satan for Sydney airport?
Re the Virgin pet brain fart…what happens to people like the Prince (and 2 of our offspring) who is severely allergic to cats?* He gets a reaction if he enters some cat owners house even if they have chucked the cat out into the garden.
How many lawsuits from the family of passengers that die from an asthma attack?
*Of course he is. His princely title, along with a hard earned Order of the Snowflake, is well deserved
The Chinks can crash the US Buck simply by dumping bonds … and they seem to be doing just that … Seems send as many grey boat to sail around Formosa .. and look happy and proud … Not gonna help.
Who says you can’t beat city hall?
Not a fan of Trump but he is a sceptic of foreign adventures and the idea he’s approve of army boots on the ground (ignore 3 letter folks) is 100% barmy.
No event short of nuking his golf courses would have agent orange sending in the marines IMHO.
LOL. I’m not the one coping here, JC. Even the pro-Ukrainian accounts are moaning about the change in momentum over the last six months following the disastrous failure of the summer counteroffensive.
Hmmm. John 2:15 would beg to differ. The whip option often comes to mind when I ask myself “What would Jesus do?”
Absolutely not.
Cross my heart and hope to die from what the medical cartel would describe as a heart attack but in reality something more like being mortified by a bad hair day.

I would hope to be so sanguine … Only way Orange Man gets out of this is to piss off the Swamp .. get rid of them but I dont think he has the chops. Not that I hope he cant …
I don’t like to make predictions as they’re about the future.
But, (part of) Ukraine could become a “48th parallel” if you catch my drift.
Last time Vlad asked Trump what he’d do if he moved on Ukraine, Trump told him he’d bomb the Kremlin.
Trump isn’t going to play second dog to a Russian klepto with delusions of grandeur and he may actually stand up to Vlad’s 24 hourly threats of nuclear weapons use.
America is starting to notice.
If this weren’t happening in real time, but something I read in a book, I would still be leaning forward in my chair shouting out loud enough to startle everyone else in the library “Yeah! Get the Effer!”
Like last time? When he made a lot of noise and became BFF with El Putin but left the CIA to do a solid job of supporting the Ukr’s

I have seen all sorts of vitriol piled on you… and I didnt like it …Sure you can be unpleasant but that doesn’t make you uninteresting … Fair is Far Mate?
I think you are wrong and let us just let time be the arbiter ..
Blessings Mate.
He hasn’t confided in me, but whatever it is, he will make it convincing.
Trump can’t drain the swamp and four years is not enough.
However, depending on the size of his hypothetical win they could legislate (or he could try an executive order) to put some term limits on the f#ckers in DoJ, FBI and similar Federal govt depts… It’s a simple argument:
If a President needs term limits, why not these people (who, arguably, have more power than POTUS!!!)

My sentiments entirely …
Orange Man had no clue what he was walking / waddling into. I dont expect him to be much improved… When He is elected POTUS later on this yer.

Customise yer shirt. Or browse one billion million kooky designs, like “Chthulu 2024” and my current favourite, Jesus with an AR-15 riding a velociraptor.
Outside of politics, the fat idiot is a nice person.
There is no outside of politics; and dickless is a dickhead.
But send Julian Assange Home !! How much bullshit is barely enough?
Not attractive. They’re not going to allow that possibility with Odessa in Ukrainian hands.They might tolerate it if Ukraine is on the right bank of the Dneiper in the north and they control the southern provinces.
I done a few designs up- all very rough, sublimated digital print, best to stay as simple as possible. “HYDROXY-CHLORO-QUINE” in Kylie disco script was cool. One about keeping bees out of the bush was too fussy to really “pop” but a few dozen people picked up the design, for which my account was credited 12c a pop.
As clothing, they just don’t last.
Had one mocking the Sea Shepherd shirts which were all over the place like krill, “Save the Whales- White People Know Best”. Just went looking in my back catalogue for it… seems it’s been scrubbed.
Dover, despite your delight at Russia’s recent gains, nothing much has changed since the beginning. As for the disastrous counteroffensive, that’s matched with Russia’s disastrous initial attack. So cope.

Id assumed the Odessa region as part of Russian territories.
No way Russia will give up that seaport.
Max cope above.

This will work out at Russia’s terms … We asked for it ? we got it …
LOL. I love the ‘nothing much has changed’ narrative. Cope!

Ukraine is over.. No it really is .. Strap back in… Now we go to War with China!!
naaaa, I’m just pointing out that a dude who’s absorbed all the shit that been piled on him since the first week of his presidency and handled it with sheer determination and guts isn’t going to lay down and let Vlad have his way with him. I don’t think you understand what it means if Trump wins.
You’re just so filled up with Putin love.
Look, I really don’t get this Vlad love you have going. There’s nothing wrong with despising both sides and doesn’t have to be binary. Putin is a peace of kelpto shit and always has been. Hiden is a filth ridden dirtbag who is exhbit A for euthanasia of the legal kind (I’m not advocating violent execution).
Covid wasn’t an accident – it was a crime
Has the the frontline changed materially since the invasion? Yes or no?
I’d like a T/shirt that says “You couldn’t defend that land.”
Never Was, Never Wiil Be!
“Am I ever going to see your race again……….”.
Will – ffs!
Dover
I’m not suggesting, that if Trump wins, he won’t try to negotiate an acceptable peace deal. I’m saying that Trump will not accept Vlad trying to play games. If you think this is an absurd position then state specifically why.
Nice antisemitic dog whistle you have there.
