Couldn’t sleep so I clicked on a religious YouTube link in my news feed explaining the nature of Hell and our misconception of it.
Quoting Bible references he said we got it all wrong.
I’m somewhat relived but at the same time it made me more doubtful, dare I say suspicious?
According to him there is no reference in the Bible that we burn in hell for all eternity.
So where did all this hellfire damnation come from?

Ah, it’s from these people:
Armstrongism (wiki)
Not burning eternally in hell is one of their doctrines, looks like. I don’t know how they get around the verses I mentioned, or others like Matthew 5:22 and 18:8-9.
John Wenham, who was a conservative Anglican scholar and NT Greek expert called his memoir at the end of his life “Facing Hell”. He didn’t believe in eternal punishment and rather believed in “Conditional Immortality” – that is, Hell will one day be emptied. He was a good scholar and made some good arguments, however everyone has a big hurdle to jump with Revelation 14:10:-
they, too, will drink the wine of God’s fury, which has been poured full strength into the cup of his wrath. They will be tormented with burning sulfur in the presence of the holy angels and of the Lamb.And the smoke of their torment will rise for ever and ever. There will be no rest day or night for those who worship the beast and its image.
People argue that is not eternal, however I think it is. Not a good place to be.

Anzac spirit meets extremism surge: a moral crossroads
By clare rowe
This past week has presented Australia with a profound juxtaposition: the heartening sight of a record number of children turning out to commemorate Anzac Day, a poignant symbol of unity and patriotism, against the sombre backdrop of the arrest of seven youths allegedly engaged in extremist activities.
Anzac Day has evolved to become more than a commemoration and remembrance of the service of our armed forces. It is quickly becoming a day that galvanises our national identity and gives much-wanted permission to all Australians to be unashamedly patriotic. The involvement of children in such numbers this year is particularly significant – it symbolises the transmission of these values to the next generation.
The arrest of seven teenagers, suspected of plotting acts of terror illustrates the dark path individuals can take when alienated and misled by destructive ideologies.
The country finds itself at a daunting moral crossroads. We are compelled to confront a disturbing phenomenon: the radicalisation of youth in our own backyard. It is an issue that threatens not just our safety but the foundational values of our society.
The juxtaposition of these two events within the same week throws into sharp relief the work that remains to be done. While Anzac Day reflects the values we aspire to, the Sydney arrests highlight the vulnerabilities and dangers we must still address. Both events involve our youth, and both significantly impact our national psyche, yet represent diametrically opposed visions of our future.
The police operations that unfolded this week in Sydney are uncomfortable and shocking but must be acknowledged for what they are. That pockets of teenagers, born in this great nation, have somehow found themselves in a position where they deem that the best path forward is to turn against their fellow Aussies. Combating the allure of extremist ideologies to some young individuals isn’t just a matter of law enforcement; it’s a psychological battle against narratives that exploit vulnerabilities.
The pathway to radicalisation often begins at an age where identity and belonging are paramount concerns. Adolescents are at a stage in life characterised by questioning and, sometimes, rebellion against societal norms. When these natural tendencies meet a sense of alienation or disenfranchisement, the stage is set for radical ideologies to take root.
Extremist groups, with a cunning understanding of psychology, target these individuals through social media platforms, discussion forums and other online channels. They present a narrative that resonates deeply with personal grievances, often portraying themselves as the only solution to the injustices these young people perceive they are facing.
They’re not ‘our’ youth. They are muslims imposed upon us by politicians. They are not allied to us or interested in assimilating with us.
The only problem is how to get rid of them.
Every time one of the scrotes kills, or tries to kill one of us, the whole family, cousins, etc, are deported to whatever shithole they were originally spawned.
We would only need to do this a couple of times and they would pull their heads in for a few years.
I include the ones born here as they have no love for their birth country.
We know that makes sense. And sell all their property and give the proceeds to the family of the victim/s as part reparations.
Listen to the howls of “That’s Collective Punishment” coming from the peanut gallery.
What’s wrong with collective punishment? Apart from the fact that it’s effective against an Islam that believes in collective action?
Get into a fight with Mohammed Whoever, and you’re in a fight with ALL the Mohammeds.
Oh good one Clare, and your experience of Islam and Jihadis is…..er….
Frolics St Louis is another Demonrat hellhole. Recall its in the top 5 black on black shooters paradise.
I sometimes speculate what hell would be like. Endless actual fire, or endless disappointment and frustration that burns like fire. Or simply notable by the absence of the Creator and all evidence of Him in every direction.
It’s doubtful that God rewards satan and his horde with endless souls to torment. Their reward will likely be each other.
Suffice it to say I don’t want to be there and by the grace of God, I won’t.

Hell would be a never ending flight, stuck in the middle seat in economy, between two larger people who eat bags of chips with their mouths open the entire time.

They were punished, of course. Fined, weapons confiscated and “destroyed”. Suuuure.
Later pardoned by the governor. All they were doing was protecting their home (and quite possibly, themselves) from gee-ed up supporters of that corpse in the White House.
It was also a Road to Damascus moment for the McCloskeys.
They had been fervent lefties before then.

ZK2A those pockets of teenagers are not Aussies turning against fellow Aussies. They are 7th C ideology masquerading as a religion and would be banned as a terrorist organisation if formed today. ISIS, AL QAEDA, TALIBAN, HAMAS, HEZBOLLAH are the same as the beginnings of the Muzzie cult. Had they not had oil they’d be confined to their own country. Neutron bomb the lot of them if the can’t behave. Rabid dogs are put down for a lot less.
A week old article that I only read this morning.
https://michaelwest.com.au/dan-duggan-extradition-proceedings-make-australia-a-us-lapdog/?utm_source=newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_term=2024-04-25&utm_campaign=Michael+West+Media+Weekly+Update
Regardless of your views of Dan Duggan, this is what the federal government did to him & his family.
And let’s not forget his family. Partner Saffrine and their six children, aged 7 to 20, have had their lives torn apart by the US charges; their seven-bedroom home near Kiama, NSW, was later seized by Federal Police under a US restraining order which deprived the Duggans of the means to pay for their legal defence.
If these cases are so strong, why does the state starve the defendant of assets that can pay for their defence?
Before they have even stood trial.
Kevin – The short answer is to read the Bible and decide what it means yourself.
I like the New International Version best since it is easier to read in today’s English vernacular. My one is a study edition with a lot of cross references and a short concordance in the back – which is why I could get those verses, I just looked up fire and Hell and there they were listed.
A good on line resource is Bible Gateway, which has lots of different Bible translations so you can compare them. Here for example is Matthew 18:8-9 in the NIV. That is Jesus’s own teaching, so it’s pretty clear. If you want to look up many other translations just choose the one you want from the drop down box.
In all cases there’s the challenge of translating from Greek and Hebrew into other languages, so it pays to cross check. The NIV uses an approach called dynamic equivalents to render the narrative and concepts in our language, whereas the old King James Version is pretty clunky since it is more of a one-to-one translation.
I’ve mentioned a thing called Strong’s Concordance in the past, that is a tool which links a Bible translation directly to the Greek and Hebrew words of the original manuscripts. Here’s KJV version of Strong’s for Matthew 18:8-9. The green numbers are links to the original Greek or Hebrew word with its various possible meanings. (The site is pretty slow so be patient, and make sure you open any links in new tabs so you aren’t waiting around a lot. It used to be a lot faster, I don’t know why it no longer is.)
Oops, ‘way too much. I didn’t want to get so heavy since it’s Saturday morning, sorry.
I love it that Craig Kelly’s “winner” didn’t even need to be photoshopped.
The arrest of seven teenagers, suspected of plotting acts of terror illustrates the dark path individuals can take when alienated and misled by destructive ideologies.
Given the pick & choose efforts of Oz media I thinx that if it weren’t for the attack on the bishop and the subsequent media outburst the arrests of these 7 would have gone unheralded by the media .. In fact, I’d be confident to say they, probably, would never have occurred if it weren’t for the attack ..
These dayz Oz gummint & media follow a “if it scores pub test points” agenda deciding if “something” getz emblazoned or not …!
“Joe Public”needing to know isn’t alwayz a ratings winner .. duuuuuh .. Both Ukraine & Gaza have gone a bit stale .. cos far too many folk not following the media inspired “we luvs Gaza” & “we hatez Russia” preferred outlookz.. sooooo we needz a change …….!
And that’s it from me. The garden beckons and those weeds won’t despatch themselves. Back at elevenses. Or second breakfast.
Anybody have any thoughts on apparent collapse of the Japanese yen?
They could shore up their currency either by raising interest rates (which would presumably see their government finances and banks collapse) or mass sell US treasuries.
Or just let it devalue but Japanese pensioners might get irked if they can’t afford to eat.
Either way, it would presumably be ostensibly bad for commodity prices unless and until central bankers the world over “saved the day” by printing gajillions of dollars.

Courier Mail via Townsville Bulletin has a very detailed article about newly elected Townsville Mayor and his previous claims about having been in SAS. Was not wearing a single medal of his own on ANZAC Day and says he does not even know his army number.
He is Mayor in a garrison town and the media is onto him.
Resignation soon ?
Sounds like it. One of the few “Go directly to jail. Do not pass Go. Do no collect $200.”moves left in Australian politics. That and punching on with the wife.
He was a choco signaller, that is confirmed. He was out of Perth, could have worked with the SAS when support was requested but it wouldn’t have been anything sexy.
I had a brief synapsis of the other dodgy crap he’s been up to. Failed business and a claiming a degree that he was never awarded as well. He was too much even for Pauline.
He lucked in when our equally dodgy ex-mayor was so on the nose a drovers dog could’ve won and did. I reckon he will come unstuck anyway, previous administration was secretive and has left an almighty mess of dodgy contracts, nepotism/favouritism and spending OPM. Already talk round town there a good chance the council will be in administration in 12 months. Heard a whisper even Chrisafulli now taking an interest in it as he is a former Councillor/Deputy Mayor.

In economics they say something will continue as long until it can’t. I’m basically a US optimist but it’s hard when you see that.

We all remember different things in different ways but in his case, he claims he served for 5 years. To me, this is simple: he authorises the DoD to release his service records which will be irrefutable proof – one way or another.

American businesses, and australian ones for that matter, would do well not to employ the pro-Palestinian protesters once they graduate. These students are chanting for the death of Israel as well as their own country. They also know that what they are doing is wrong which is why they are hiding behinds masks and their Palestinian scarves.
Businesses that employ them can expect no loyalty from them as they have proven that they don’t have any to their own country or people so they are not likely to have any towards their employers’ companies.
By the way, the protesters who are not hiding their faces expect to be employed in the public service or the education sector where bad behaviour and disloyalty is encouraged.
And guess who’s funding them. Soros.

It’s hard to make head or tail of Japan as it’s really a strange place. With QE for the past 20 odd years means that the Bank of Japan owes around half the governments debt, which is around 260% of GDP. So the finance ministry owes the BOJ. One side of the government owes the other. That’s almost like that debt is canceled or neutralised.
I see nothing wrong with shooting an untrainable dog.

The saving grace for Japan is that the Japanese people have real savings which also helps neutralise the Guv’ment/BOJ debt.

The teenagers being radicalised is not an accident, it is a deliberate strategy. By letting their kids do their dirty work the Muslim adults can deny any responsibility, insisting that they are good citizens and that their kids were radicalised online from overseas.
As only the perpetrators can be arrested, meaning the teenagers, their parents and church leaders get away scot free to continue with their work with other kids. In that way there are no interruptions to their employment or businesses. Usually there are no financial consequences as the accused teenagers get free Legal Aid.

From Zulu’s 8:25 a.m. post:
This radicalisation bollocks needs to be jumped on, quick-smart. As I’ve written – here – just recently, the concept of ‘radicalisation’ is a get-out-of-jail-free card for the anointed offender-turned-victim group.
‘Radicalisation’ presumes a a baseline of harmony, unicorns, and rainbows. The offender-framed-as-victim is metaphorically dragged kicking and screaming (i.e. against their will) from this baseline of normality by amorphous and malevolent ‘powers’ that they cannot overcome, despite copious attempts to remain faithful to their natural, harmonious, compassionate, nature.
We might note, however, that ‘radicalisation’ is applied selectively. Should there be a violent event which can legitimately be linked to conservatism, the individual/s will NOT be said to have been radicalised, because the prevailing view is that conservatism begins from a point of disharmony, dissent, and division.
‘Radicalisation’ is already somewhat established, supported by academia which benefits from taxpayers’ hard-earned by posing as problem-solvers, and, of course, the media malice.

I suspect that the CCP has has accumulated enough dirt on the corrupt and owned US political class to ensure anything damaging to Xi would whither away to a nothing burger.
The point isnt exposing the corruption, everyone in china knows the party is corrupt from top to bottom. The west has its own form of corruption.
The point is they are threatening to confiscate trillions of these communists hidden wealth.
I am all for dismantling communism by any means
Here is a tidbit of information that does not really inform of much significance:
Doubtless people are familiar with the symbol for the yen (¥), which in Japanese is actually pronounced ‘en’. (The ‘ye’ syllable is obsolete in modern Japanese.) So ¥2,000 is pronounced “ni-sen-en”. Needless to say the ¥ is based on a Roman character with two parallel lines superimposed making it a currency symbol – in the same way as an S twice impaled becomes (an older style) dollar symbol, and a ‘C’ with two horizontal lines – making a stylised ‘E’ – is the symbol for the euro.
BUT, there is another, older, conventional symbol, pronounced ‘en’. ?. It is also pronounced ‘maru’ in which case it is understood as denoting ‘circle’. When used to represent money it appears at the end. ¥2,000 would be rendered 2,000?.
What is the significance of this?
In the aftermath of WW2 the yen was worthless, so it was pegged to the USD.
What was the exchange rate set, for this currency for which the symbol was a circle? How many ‘en’ to the dollar?
360.
Apparently a ‘colourful identity’ in the finest Queensland tradition, much given to chemtrail theory and similar interests – plus disendorsed by PHON for disclosure irregularities, which is always a good forward indicator of high levels of florid.
Mmmm. Hits all the notes.
Of course, one shouldn’t generalise about Queenslanders from a single observation. I expect some of you will do so anyway.
I believe he originally hails from Perth.
I wouldn’t rule it out.
So, Queensland adjacent.

‘Most significant advance’: Attorney General announces national firearms registry (Sky News, 27 Aug)
We see what you are up to. The Nazis banned private firearm ownership too.
Spooky!
What was the reason given? Is it part of some rotation?
It’s not a rotation if nothing replaces it.

NDIS ‘no longer viewed just as charity’: Bill Shorten (Sky News, 26 Apr)
How amazing that the Minister for the NDIS thinks the NDIS is amazing and wonderful. It’s almost unthinkable that he would think this way.
It is certainly a giant transfer of wealth. Whether this is a “benefit to the economy” or anyone really is a question for debate.
NDIS Minister Bill Shorten has backed the National Disability Insurance Scheme, saying the “benefit to the economy is profound”.
I suppose his idea of “benefit to the economy” is it employs so many of the country shoppers by keeping them off the dole …. never mind the, bottomless, drain on the public purse the scheme costs …….!
And the staff shortages it is causing in other areas.
Modern Monetary Theory in action!
Surley it can’t be long before we hear the NDIS has saved us from recession.
Is that you Maynard?
“This national firearms register will help ensure that police know guns are in the community, where they are and who owns them.”
They already know this. FMD. The Feds can always ask the local Plod.
I believe that’s why they need to $161m – to collate state police info and develop a national record.
Nothing comes cheap with this government.
The registry will be immediately filled with Labor Party functionaries.
That will be its purpose – jobs for the Party Faithful.

From your religious point of view of hell I think you are being too generous in your outlook. Surely the ones you think are going to hell would be heaven for them. Going by your vision of heaven is more likely to be hell for them.
a report that centered on the massive corruption and hidden wealth of the top leaders of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), including its leader Xi Jinping.
So, basically, we are being told that Chinese “politicians” are no different to their western counterparts ………. rivetting stuff! .. LOL!
True, however you miss the point that Blinken has some serious leverage over these kommunist kunts

Interesting that Kristi Noem thinks killing a puppy for the crime of being “untrainable” (usually code for the owner being incompetent) is an anecdote that will endear her to Republican voters.
She links to a Guardian piece detailing her relating the story in her book of putting down not just a puppy, but a goat as well.
Why would she even tell that dreadful story in a book?
Because she’s openly angling for the veep slot on the GOP ticket, and she’s telling Republicans – especially Trump – that she’s just the right sort of cold-blooded killer they need to help institute their planned fascism.

Milko round early this weekend?
In a piece on the Albanese government’s dim electoral prospects, the Saturday Paper reports a “Labor insider’s” view that “the Coalition’s weak economics team” is helping Labor avoid the polling its economic performance deserves.
That would be Angus Taylor, Luke Howarth & James McGrath.
The ball is in your court, Peter Dutton.
(Btw, did I see Dutton walking back on the censorship dispute with Musk?
Could it be he’s been given a clear message from the party’s grassroots?
Why do Liberal leaders, federal & state, exhibit such poor political instincts?)
Taylor’s OK. Josh and SloMo ensured you won’t hear anything about economic management t the next election.
GOP/Trump Fascism- your talking point for today, m0ron? Kind of exposes your fear, of the truth.
The left everywhere are censoring public discussion and knowledge through their lackey’s in the MSM, courts and Big Tech media (except X).They are pushing their deviant inspired agenda through the media, literature and state education to young children.
Exposing the perverts of the left is the new “Fascism” it seems. No wonder you are sh*tting yourself, m0ron.
Monty is big on projection.
Hopefully we’ll get to the administering punishment stage – then we’ll get to enjoy some real leftist bleating and crying.
I am pretty sure that I have already heard tales of the NDIS fetching frightened kittens down out of trees to the great relief of teary eyed little girls, pulling thorns from the paws of angry lions, and snorkelling in water hazards at golf courses to retrieve discarded golf balls and using the money raised to feed orphans and puppies.
It has certainly saved us from prosperity.

An Arab terrorist (Israeli citizen) stabbed an 18-year-old Israeli woman. She was seriously wounded.
The terrorist was eliminated by an armed civilian. The police are searching for possible accomplices of the terrorist.
Yeah, every reserve currency falls eventually, but making a prediction to the timing is a drug induced illusion.
The Euro should’ve been a great contender to compete with the dollar. The Europeans even tried to make it easier for drug dealers and money launderers by introducing the Eur 500 note, but it didn’t happen. While the Euro is the overwhelmin currency within the EU, it never created a lightening storm of interest outside.
As the the military, yeah Iran is going to dominate the world. 🙂
chris kenny Sydney University pro-Palestine camp shows topsy-turvy world of warriors for radical chic
Like children with matches in a summer bushland tinderbox, the pro-Palestinian protesters at our universities seem to have no idea about the lethal forces that are their playthings. Islamist extremism, anti-Semitism, Arab grievance, Jewish defiance, great power politics and social cohesion in Western liberal democracies like our own are all in the mix.
These are tensions not easily grasped or resolved by undergraduates looking for the revolutionary cause of their era. When they bandy around terms like “Israeli genocide” and “apartheid state” or talk about a colonial power usurping the rights of an Indigenous people you know that facts, history and context have no place in their considerations.
Politicians of the left in the US, Britain and here do little to chastise or correct them because they are in the ugly electoral game of courting the ever-growing Muslim vote, holding off ever more radical leftist rivals, and appealing to the young and impressionable. National values and interests play second fiddle to the spineless mathematics of political power.
At Columbia University in New York City, which has led the way in what has become a global campus campaign, Jewish students this month were advised to stay away from classes, and now the whole university has switched to a remote learning model. Even one pro-Palestinian protester, Linnia Norton, seemed shocked at the hatred they had unleashed, telling a reporter; “There were people outside of campus one time with signs that said, ‘Death to all Jews’ – that is awful and nobody should be having to experience that on their campus.”
The Students for Palestine protesters at the University of Sydney are unashamedly derivative, posting on Instagram that they have been “greatly inspired” by the movement at Columbia. They have chanted “Intifada, intifada”, cheering on Palestinian armed uprisings that have visited terrorism on Israel repeatedly since the 1980s, taking thousands of innocent lives.
Whatever your view of Palestinian aspirations and the Israeli government, no rational approach to this issue should ignore the human reality. It seems incomprehensible that these privileged students could see the Hamas atrocities of October 7 last year and the horrible war they were designed to trigger and use those events not to condemn and campaign against Hamas but to advocate the terror group’s agenda.
On Anzac Day, after bathing in the warm and reassuring camaraderie of the dawn service at Bondi, I went to the Sydney University students’ “occupation” site to see for myself. From a distance, the whole thing looked like topsy-turvy world to me. These are students who promote and enjoy sexual liberation, gender equality, embracing of gays, bisexuals and transgender people, imbibing of alcohol, and no doubt free expression, democracy and individual rights; how could they offer comfort to the Islamist extremist terror group Hamas, which would readily throw them off a rooftop on any of those counts?

And that’s the guts of it.
The students must seem like easy ‘useful idiots’ to the devoted. Yet, not one of the students would last one week espousing the various liberal chants in Iran, Iraq, Syria and a dozen other countries across the ME and Africa. It’s barely safe here in parts of Sydney and Melbourne.

Katy Gallagher (Australian Finance Minister) unveils the new budget.
Due to the current financial situation caused by the slowdown in the economy, the Government has decided to implement a scheme to put workers of 50 years of age and above on early, mandatory retirement, thus creating jobs and reducing unemployment.
This scheme will be known as RAPE (Retire Aged People Early).
Persons selected to be RAPED can apply to the Government to be considered for the SHAFT program (Special Help After Forced Termination).
Persons who have been RAPED and SHAFTED will be reviewed under the SCREW program (System Covering Retired-Early Workers).
A person may be RAPED once, SHAFTED twice and SCREWED as many times as the Government deems appropriate.
Persons who have been RAPED could get AIDS (Additional Income for Dependents & Spouse) or HERPES (Half Earnings for Retired Personnel Early Severance).
Obviously persons who have AIDS or HERPES will not be SHAFTED or SCREWED any further by the Government.
Persons who are not RAPED and are staying on will receive as much SHIT (Special High Intensity Training) as possible. The Government has always prided themselves on the amount of SHIT they give our citizens.
Should you feel that you do not receive enough SHIT, please bring this to the attention of your Local MP who has been trained to give you all the SHIT you can handle.
Sincerely,
The Committee for Economic Value of Individual Lives (E.V.I.L.)
PS – Due to recent budget cuts and the rising cost of electricity, gas and oil, as well as current market conditions, The Light at the End of the Tunnel has been turned off.
Why? You seem to assume that they will just be able to carry on as they do now. Why would that be case, especially after their illusions have been exposed by the particular judgement.

Roger the Bible is made up of different peoples views of the same event. Which one is right. Especially as most of it is not contemporaneous which leads to more wriggle room as to what it may mean.

We do!
The dog story suggests Cricket was a dangerous one, don’t see why that is a terrible thing.
I know someone who had to put down dog that became an aggressive sheep killer.
Never spent a lot of time around sheep. Believe that is by no means uncommon though.
Dover what is heaven for some is hell for others and visca versa. Was it not clear. You believe you’re going to be judged, I do not.
Everyone is a theologian.
Even those who haven’t read the Bible.
Sure he did.
I suspect it will be the place with the biggest guns combined with the likelihood of a 95% chance the money you invest is not going to be confiscated. The reason why I think the biggest gun plays an important role is that gold was basically displaced by the dollar.
No, you were clear, but I asked you why you assumed the above. What you believe re judgement is immaterial here since you’re entertaining the possibility of heaven and hell; so again, if there was both a last judgement and heaven and hell, why would you assume hell just is the continuation of the same for those in it as opposed to understanding without illusion?

Madalyn Manor: Perth inventor Mataki Lim proposes huge $200 million, 26-room mansion for Perth hills
Sean SmithThe West Australian
Sat, 27 April 2024 2:00AM
Comments
The Perth inventor behind a “revolutionary” building technology is purportedly planning to build WA’s most expensive home in Chittering for $200 million.
The luxury 40,000sqm mansion would be one of the biggest residences in the world, with 26 rooms over four floors, a helipad, an underground garage, four specialised kitchens for different cuisines, a four-storey wine cellar, rooftop pools and multiple sports courts.
Madalyn Manor is the brainchild of Mataki Lim, the inventor of Canning Vale company NXT TEC’s precast building technology. This technology claims to deliver building projects significantly quicker than conventional construction methods.
What date did he provide?
Those two conditions are diminishing.
Dover, he talked about money printing and the demise of the dollar. He’s talking in the present context. Ironically, he doesn’t realize we’re currently experiencing a quantitative tightening as the Fed is reversing the QE.
great history of how we got here with neo-marxist ESG and distributive agenda
That would be Angus Taylor, Luke Howarth & James McGrath.
The ball is in your court, Peter Dutton.
Taylor’s comments about immigration makes me think he’s just another bloodless economist
(Btw, did I see Dutton walking back on the censorship dispute with Musk?
Could it be he’s been given a clear message from the party’s grassroots?
That’s great news. The election is Dutton’s to lose. The meja has already started running distraction squirrels for the anal administration of course.
Return of Gillard’s clean air? The longest running gag on Ol’ Leathery’s Insiders.
Yep a rerun of TLS era, only worse, with the return of many bad actors from that sorry episode.
So he provided no date. Saying he was talking about ‘the present context’ is meaningless since he didn’t mean today, tomorrow, next month or next year. He’s talking about a process in which alternatives develop, work in parallel and gradually undermine the hegemony of the dollar.
Again:
What is the difference between a Religion and a Cult?
Is the answer to the question too hard for us to ponder?
Or is the answer going to force us to confront an ugly truth that Christianity is a Religion and Islam is a Cult?
And that means we have to actually act against it?
Taylor never practiced as an economist; he was a management consultant with McKinsey.
I suppose that’s at least a real job, unlike fellow USYD Econ grads Albanese & Bowen.
If you squint
Imagine having Bowen as an alumni? Talk about dying of shame.
Measure of a man is, you have to have make the call when your dog is an uncontrollable killer, and you also have to admit your failure, to a certain degree, otherwise no-one learns the signs.
I had to destroy a dog once, after hoping that his cagey behaviour might just disappear, but nipped my kid just below her eye. We had access to the clean and easy green dream, but didn’t make me less ashamed.
Noem- I’ve written her off when she volte-faced and curtsied to the promoters of “irreversible damage”- but it was probably wise of her to disseminate the tale, seeing as there were witnesses. It’s obviouslty a gernuine part of her upbringign and life, and voters will actually respect that, just as they respect a real estate mogul-media superstar turning over a few wives.
The whole idea of “Stakeholder Capitalism” was a gramscian putsch.
McKinsey eh? Just keeps getting worse.
I don’t think you understood Dover. The people that run amok and do whatever by my reckoning would think heaven was hell. The point is moot anyway as I won’t know and you think you will.
I saw Dutton on some YouTube clip a few days ago saying something along the lines of needing to keep the clip away from children.
I was fair agape and aghast. Things we think should not be shown to children should therefore not be seen by adults?
If he has modified his judgement then it would be a good thing. Pity he got it wrong in the first place though.
ScoMo would follow Albo’s lead. Trimble would have beat Albo to the punch.
Bob its quite easy. Christianity has been successful as a means to get along in society, much the same as other religions. Islam is subjugation, the end.
Close, GR. (In my opinion.) You can leave a religion.
You cannot leave a cult.
I feel that’s the difference – the compulsion aspect. When Religions start getting the compulsion bug, that’s when they become Cults.
The only way to free people, as we’ve seen from the decultifying* efforts in the US, is to separate them from the social apparatus that keeps them enslaved.
I don’t know how we would do that – politically speaking.
No, I understand that, I’m asking you why you assume that to be the case post-judgement when their blinkers are removed.
Btw, did I see Dutton walking back on the censorship dispute with Musk?
Dutton or Button or Drop Kick is NOT a Conservative. And he will run away from standing up for Australia. He is as weak as piss. The West needs New Leaders. And he is not one of them.

One of your best dickless. The pervert in the WH with obuma’s claw up his arse is destroying the US and the West and your concern is with a dog put down humanely. And this with obuma admitting he eats the poor canines. What do you eat dickless: pond scum and thistles.
Cohenite asks:
Dicks, Cohenite. Dickless eats Marxist dicks. He hopes it will get him a good position in the Nomenklatura after his “Revolution”. Or at least keeps him out of the Gulags.
It won’t.
Repeat after me, Dickless – “The Lament of the Useless Idiot”:
“Oh! If only Stalin knew!”
We’re away from home & I happened to be in a cafe for breakfast this morning where I skimmed the Courier-Mail. Reported Dutton saying we can’t expect to police the internet. Then our order came.
We’re here – north of Brisbane – for a family 50th birthday. It’s like a preview of a dystopic future Australia. The main street is either empty office space or rented by government agencies or disability service providers and tattoo shops. CCTV cameras everywhere. And legal chambers, on account of the courthouse that dominates the main street.
The breakfast was excellent though, served by a cheerful Filipina waitress. That’s the only bright spot so far. Chinese banquet tonight.
Hard to see much future for bricks and mortar retail. Westfield and the mega malls will hold on as a “recreational” pastime but the rest seems doomed.
You believe you’re going to be judged, I do not.
So, you’re not married.
Snork!
In my life I’ve had somewhere between one hundred & two hundred dogs (like most of my contemporaries, I don’t count dog numbers)
Four died of old age.
More than half died as puppies or youngsters, either smothered by their mum or run over etc. while learning to negotiate the big world.
Next most common: Being found dead on the chain.
A few were killed at work.
Some just disappear.
I couldn’t count how many I’ve put down, it’d be a half dozen at most. It’s something you really try to avoid & shy away from if you can.
However it has to be done, unpleasant & distasteful a duty as it may be.
Finding a ‘loving home’ is not practical option & ‘calling a vet’ is neither an economic or practical option.
Having to put down a horse is more common than putting down dogs. Then again, there’s always more horses than dogs, and they’re more fragile.
Of course he was talking about the present, which is why he brought up “money printing”. Recent money printing suggests he’s talking about the demise of the dollar in 50 years time?
Oh yeah, where?
This month’s Moral Panic demanding Action (i.e. money) is women who get murdered by their husbands/lovers or exes.
TheirABC is in full flight, e.g.
Advocacy groups are demanding the government declare violence against women a national emergency after three women were allegedly killed by men known to them this week.
Yesterday, West Australian police said they believed a 30-year-old woman, whose body was found in the bedroom of home after a fire, might have been murdered.
Earlier this week, two other women, 49-year-old Emma Bates in regional Victoria and 28-year-old Molly Ticehurst in regional New South Wales, were both allegedly killed by men police believe were known to them.
The events have fuelled anger across the nation, where 25 women have died this year due to gender-based violence, according to data interpreted from Counting Dead Women.
Eleven more women have died violently in 2024 compared to this time last year.
Today, rallies against gender-based violence are taking place in Hobart, Sydney and Adelaide, and tomorrow there will be rallies in Melbourne, Bendigo, Geelong, Coffs Harbour, Perth, Brisbane, Sunshine Coast and Canberra.
https://www.abc.net.au/news/2024-04-27/marches-against-violence-against-women-in-australia/103775840
Don’t get me wrong, there are scrotes and sickos out there who beat up and murder women known to them, or even whom they are obsessed with despite there being no relationship. It is 100% their fault.
But as everyone who has had passing contact with such situations knows, the reality is much more complicated that what is being portrayed in many cases.
The best comment I have found on this recently is a set by politically incorrect US comedian Bill Burr.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3bb3Zmj1DgE
The guy is a genius who manages to be both achingly funny and accurate at the same time, it’s called ‘No reason to hit a woman.’
Bettina Arndt should put it on her site.
Rub one out – it’s the Champaign of victory
It’s like a preview of a dystopic future Australia.
Staying at the Villawood hotel on Woodville Road was like that.
Dover, if you are about, my last comment is in moderation, probably because of too many links which I couldn’t remove.

You’ve fallen into the etymological fallacy there, dover.
And possibly a reverse form of the chronological fallacy, if you’re arguing that because the terms are of recent origin they are erroneous or of inferior value to ancient definitions.
Errrrrrrrrrr. Point of order.
A dog is the male. The Bitch is the one that takes all the money.
We adopted a dog once who was a breeding bitch with zero socialisation, either with dogs or people.
There’s a quite a bit of time inbetween 1 year and 50 years.
I don’t think another will replace the US dollar, it will just no longer be as dominant globally as it was.
Where did I argue that? I think the older is better not because it is older but because it improves intelligibility.
Ethan McKinley: Eshay burglar who stole keys to Meg O’Neill’s $170,000 Maserati, Jeep Cherokee, jailed

Ethan Shane Louis McKinley was one of three men who carried out the ‘pre-mediated’ theft as Ms O’Neill and her family slept in their beachside mansion on January 10 last year. Credit: WA Police
The so-called “eshay” who brazenly broke into the City Beach home of Woodside boss Meg O’Neill to steal her luxury cars then posed for photographs with the stolen vehicles has been jailed for more than four years.
Ethan Shane Louis McKinley was one of three men who carried out the “pre-mediated” theft as Ms O’Neill and her family slept in their beachside mansion on January 10 last year.
During the 26-year-old’s sentencing hearing, WA’s District Court was told McKinley, a meth-addict with a long criminal history for burglary and car thefts who was on bail at the time, crawled through the doggy door along with co-offender Adam Dion Prior – who has pleaded guilty to his role – to steal the keys of a blue Maserati sports car and a Jeep Cherokee, which belonged to Ms O’Neill’s partner, Vicky Hayes.
The court was told before they entered the property, the pair donned masks to hide their faces and removed their shoes to reduce the risk of being heard, while their mate, Kaelum Simmons, who was jailed for three years for his role, acted as the lookout.
Four years up the creek should teach him how to behave.
Agreed on your last paragraph but I am also equally irritated by cops speed.
Yup they can catch some rich pr$% thieves but literally thousands of others perpetrated on plebs go unsolved.
LOL look at the sentence, wow pays to be in the upper class doesn’t it.
Fair comment.
Ones doggy door should be safe in Cottesloe. Even these days.
Owning a Jeep in Cottesloe is the real crime here.

I don’t think another will replace the US dollar, it will just no longer be as dominant globally as it was.
I agree. The US Dollar is the best of a load of paper rubbish. And “In God We Trust” is on the money. LOL.
The phrase “In God we trust” has appeared on all American currency since 1957, but its controversial history goes back much further than that.

Now that she’s a bona fide murderer of puppies, Kristi Noem’s chances of national political office just became sixty-five million times more unlikely.

When I was into hunting as a youngster usually round the Strathbogie Ranges all the guys I knocked about with had a hard and fast rule about dogs.
A soon as they have a go at a child, 2 go out hunting & 1 comes back. A dog had a go at my daughter when she was a toddler, stiches & rabies vaccines and the dog went for a sleep. Usually a friendly dog before that but the risk was there.
Life sometimes throw sh&% sandwiches at you. You have to make decisions you wish you didn’t and walk away after execution feeling despondent. However right the decision was.
My nephew was bitten by the family dog as a toddler. Looked like a bit of a kangaroo dog, some greyhound some cattle dog and God knows what else. Dogs and small children require constant supervision. No long term damage to either party. Well, some scarring.
Fixed – thanks – j

Errrrrrrrrrr. Point of order.
A dog is the male. The Bitch is the one that takes all the money.
Stop parading your ignorance. ‘Dog’ is the generic term for the species, as well as the specific term for the males. It happens. For example, ‘cows’ is often used as a generic term for a herd of cattle which may include males.
Maybe your catheter is affecting your judgement?
If so, I sympathise, although I’ve never had one, being a gurl. Those things they stick in your hand are bad enough. I suppose that a catheter is no fun at all.
Things I never knew.

Note up thread Townsville Mayor has gained the media spotlight. I posted something on him last night and up page in nested comments. He is referred to as two names up this way now (He has had a name change then back) and it is well out that he was linked to My Place Townsville which is of a few tin foil hat groups that prosper up this way.
Anyway nested above:
He was a choco signaller, that is confirmed. He was out of Perth, could have worked with the SAS but it wouldn’t have been anything sexy.
I had a brief synapsis of the other dodgy crap he’s been up to. Failed business and a claiming a degree that he was never awarded as well. He was too much even for Pauline.
He lucked in when our equally dodgy ex mayor was so on the nose a drovers dog could’ve won and did. I reckon he will come unstuck anyway, previous administration was secretive and has left an almighty mess of dodgy contracts, nepotism/favouritism and spending OPM. Already talk round town there a good chance the council will be in administration in 12 months. Heard a whisper even Chrisafulli now taking an interest in it as he is a former Councillor/Deputy Mayor.
Err, Roger was right. Well this is embarrassing.
Some clown pulled this stunt after being elected to the WA Parliament. Went through the courts and resigned. Not sure what the end result was.
Under 12months tenure new election called.
Over 12 months a councillor is voted in as Mayor.
Due to the debacle after the Rockhampton mayor stood down 4 years ago.
My 2c worth, I thought Jenny Hill was a shoe in with no viable alternative, I spoiled my vote as a result. I think the media didn’t think he had a chance so didn’t scrutinise him too much. The result shocked a lot of people and I’m one.
If I were Miles I would be very concerned, equally Albo better take note with only 5 seats in this state. Leaks cartoon about the baseball bats is spot on, I don’t think splattering the State Government in October is going to slow the tide now.
Forget Western Sydney, governments are changed in Queensland. Although thanks to Emperor Barney,Sneakers and Covid WA might be responsible for Albo. The Liars hold seats in WA they haven’t won for decades. We even have a State Liar member. I do a double take whenever I find mail out material in the letterbox.
I found this under the heading “Advertising from Guyana”.

Yes. Yes you are. But I chortled a lot.

Each state has its own registry but there is little coordination between the states. This also applies to what sorts of guns you can buy in each state; for instance this is legal in QLD but not in NSW:

From Jo Nova:
I think we’re looking at the trigger for the next Depression. Not a Recession, a Depression.
Why a depression? Because the US government will keep pouring funds into staving it off, and like Roosevelt, the baby gets thrown out with the bathwater.
The US debt bomb is going to go off and a lot of people are going to get shredded by the shrapnel.
Mainly us.
Can’t be too far off the next GFC. Followed a Splend Haval Uber car out doing my Saturday morning chores. Not sure who holds the credit risk for that one. The Chinks would have booked the sales revenue.
Bob – The demented zombie is seriously considering to declare a climate emergency before the 2024 election.
What happens after that is anyone’s guess.
White House Renews Internal Talks on Invoking ‘Climate Emergency’ Before 2024 Election (19 Apr)
Yes – I spoke of this a couple of days ago. In essence, the O’Biden Administration is going to cancel the Senate and the HoReps.
Now you are going to find out two things:
I’d like to see which direction the armed forces assets have been moving. The artillery and armour + the munitions direction is going to be a big indicator of just how hard the O’Biden administration is going to go.
Control of the nukes will be a concern. Esp the subs.
Calli: You’ve no doubt seen the home they were protecting.
It not a house, it’s an irreplaceable life’s work. No sane person would allow the Philistines to gain entry, as irreparable damage would be done within a couple of minutes.

I’m sure certain folk in Sydney’s south west will be happy to put their guns on the Federal Register.

If EV sales are down doesn’t that imply ICE car sales are up?
Depression, pfft.
No. It means people put off for a year replacing the ICE vehicle. I’m keeping the 20 year old Patrol even though I could walk into a dealer and buy one cash. That’s one sale that doesn’t happen. I’d say that about 50% of the family are keeping their vehicles for at least another year. One is selling his prized Merc Ute, because even though he’s in an excellent job – sparky – on the down/across/whatever River project in Brisbane, they’re paying off their house with every cent they have.
It also means the smart ones reduce discretionary spending.
You obviously don’t understand how belt tightening by consumers has a rebound effect back through the economy.
Read some of the history of just before the Great Depression, and the preceding years of the Roaring 20’s. You might not be so blasé about how quickly the worm turns.
So $161 million isn’t just going to provide a portal for police around the country to access the separate state and territory firearms registries?
It will be a gun grab, pure and simple.

For what purpose?
Well, it’s certainly not primarily for the stated purpose to feed information up to the feds-
Rather it’s to facilitate feeding commands down from the Canberra blob, which inevitably becomes the insect overlords of international small-arms treaties, in the sunny uplands of our increasingly borderless world.
The $160M creation of a registry is just collateral damage. How in Mammon’s name do you spend that much in the information age, to download already digitised, addressed, birthdated, information? Plus, let’s say, $20M annual running costs to re-register- read, de-register- lawful permit holders, staffed by purple-haired they/thems that had every desire to join the gendarmerie and hand out orders in person with a nightstick, but were too heffalumpy to pass the police physicals.
ah, good ol labore – yet another utterly fabricated “war on women” – you’d have to be as stupid as Eddles Casevich to believe it.
Have to do it without Brittany and SloMo this time.

Plus, I’ll throw in my Mutt of the Week at this stage of the mans-best-friend subject. Victorians only.
Tommy looks legendary, a hell of a lot like the Steely Grey of my avatar. Small nose, which might point to weaker whippet teeth, again like Steely, and the “rescue” group has cut his poor nuts off, damn them.
They want $700 for that dog?
Tell ’em they’re dreamin’.
Yeah it’s a bit steep. Even for a wretch from the scrub, basic flea-vaxxes-antibiotic course against E. canis etc is $300, tops.
