Siesta over. Time to see the great edifice that is Santiago de Compostela.
And check out the watering holes for thirsty pilgrims. Will report back later. 😀
Calli, turns out Santiago de Compostella attracts not only Christian pilgrims, but foodies. Pommy chef James Martin has a series on Spain currenty cycling through Lifestyle Food on Foxtel and the episode on Santiago de Compostela was on last night.
Needless to say, the magnificent cathedral was front and centre. But Spaniards also love their seafood, which is plentiful on the Atlantic coast.
Enjoy the watering holes calli.

There is no river here nor are there water lilies, so I can’t “tirra lirra” as Sir Lancelot sang.
But I can describe the enormous church that is Santiago. Like the lovely and recently desecrated (again) Santa Sophia, it crouches on its mound above the old town. It is huge, Romanesque and completely delightful. Unlike the ancient sister on the Bosphorus, this one is a typical Latin cross. The great censer was not in operation, thankfully. The Beloved’s asthma would be triggered instantly.
Down into the crypt, then up again into the arms of the apostle. From the Christian’s point of view, the next time I’ll be this close to the old saint is side by side in the heavenly choir. Lots of pilgrims from all over the world and we caught up with them and listened to their stories.
After the spiritual, the inner regions needed sustenance. An enormous seafood platter, crab, scallops (naturally), clams, mussels, prawns, langoustines and other good things are now on the inside, along with some excellent Tempranillo wine.
So far you can’t get a dud meal in Spain.
Here’s a bit of the poem to go with Dover’s choice –
She left the web, she left the loom,
She made three paces thro’ the room,
She saw the water-lily bloom,
She saw the helmet and the plume,
She look’d down to Camelot.
Out flew the web and floated wide;
The mirror crack’d from side to side;
“The curse is come upon me,” cried
The Lady of Shalott.
So much for spying her true love.
Starting the week on a :jolly” note that has been circulating for a while:
“THE NUMBERED MEN”
“One day while I was driving down the highway in the sun
I sat behind a milk truck just returning from his run.
His sign said “Licensed Vendor” and it made me feel secure
That only numbered milkmen could come knocking on my door.
*********
Then I saw a licensed builder with his number on the door
And a plumber with a permit which was issued by the law.
Then a hawker and publican each with his licence plate
And a licensed money lender with his number on the gate.
*********
I pulled into a café, which was licensed to sell beer
And struck up conversation with a licensed auctioneer.
He’d just been selling forfeit goods to pay the fines imposed
On a maverick hardware dealer whose late trading he’d exposed.
*********
A warm glow spread inside me as I drank a licensed beer
And I pictured the inspectors who called in every year
To check upon the numbered men and safeguard fools like me
Who’d waste their money buying things from men who paid no fee.
*********
I thought of all the union men whose cards protect their job
And dairy men whose quota scheme defends them from the mob.
The teachers who are registered, the chemists with their guilds
And lawyers with their closed cartel which keeps their coffers filled.
*********
As I sat among the numbered men it suddenly occurred
That I was just a cleanskin in a tamed and numbered herd.
Somehow I’d missed the muster when the planner combed the land
And now I was a maverick, a man without a brand.
*********
The numbered men live sheltered lives, their keeper is the State,
Their job depends less on their skills than on their licence plate.
Their future is determined and their charges are prescribed,
And the standards of their conduct are in rules and acts described.
*********
But thank the Lord for mavericks, who don’t fit in the mould,
They help distract the licence-men from getting far too bold.
Without the help of mavericks, the planners would persist
Till we all need applications for a licence to exist.”

Andrew Bolt:
It’s like our elected betters are engaged in a race to the bottom with their antics that are trashing Australia. Your lot monty, fetid turds one and all.
In November 2022, a motion was put before the UN to:
“Oppose Nazism.”
This motion was advanced by Russia.
No matter what your view on the conflict in Ukraine, it would seem a
“no brainer” to me, to support such a motion.
How did Australia vote?
Australia abstained!!!!!!
There you have it folks. In 2022, the Federal Govt cannot bring itself to vote for such a motion.
Given the support the Nazi’s have achieved throughout Europe, since 2014, particularly toward such an openly Nazi regime as the one in Kiev, perhaps Australia is just falling into line with Europe.
Makes you feel kinda “proud”, …….., doesn’t it?
Bulldoze the UN into the sea.

The “maverick” reciting the verse was in possession of:
a licence to say they could drive an automobile, which had a registration to say it was on the road legit, the glovebox contained a 3rd party insurance slip bought from a licenced insurance company via a licenced insurance broker.
It seems the political classes are congenitally unable to face reality. If a group of people commit murder, they are put away, usually for a very long time. If a large group of people do the same thing, they are deemed ‘freedom fighters’, and hailed and praised by the political glitterati and their hangers-on. As President Biden might say, think about it.

The Russians simply walked in, Ukrainian troops in Kharkiv tell BBC
Denys Yaroslavskyi is angry.
As the Commander of a Ukrainian Special Reconnaissance Unit, he fought in Ukraine’s surprise offensive in Kharkiv in the autumn of 2022, which pushed back an initial Russian invasion all the way back to the border.
But now Denys and his men are facing the prospect of doing the same all over again.
Russian forces have, in recent days, made small but significant gains right along the border in the Kharkiv region.
Their advances are only a few miles deep but have swallowed up around 100km (62 miles) of Ukrainian territory. In the more heavily defended east of Ukraine, it’s taken Russia months to achieve the same.
Denys wants to know what happened to Ukraine’s defences.
“There was no first line of defence. We saw it. The Russians just walked in. They just walked in, without any mined fields” he says.

@catturd2
The Left is eating itself and I’m here for it.
… and now I’m awake, for how long is ‘our’ ABC going to continue its attempt to socially reconstruct Australian society by forcing aboriginal interpretations of the names of our major cities? For God’s sake, you can’t even find the bloody places on a standard NRMA road map!
I don’t particularly follow popular culture, but this is revealing:
The popular vote ranked Israel 2nd in Eurovision.
The judges’ vote dragged the result down to 5th.
The judges vote also dragged the Swiss non-binary Pluck-A-Duck to the top.
Yes.
The left politicises everything.
But the normies are revolting!
Trust what I do, not what I say – A possibly coordinated Iranian strike, aid for the ICJ case against Israel, and siding with Hamas demonstrate the Biden administration’s true interests
Artillery
Russia destroyed the Wehrmacht with massed artillery and are grinding down the Ukes with the same massed firepower.
An ABC report just now confirms the overwhelming effect of artillery on defensive positions in the latest push by Russia.
I’m not commenting on the war as a cause but it seems to me that all the new tech won’t beat heaps of flying explosive metal.
How do you hold territory when any movements of your troops are subject to observation and attack by drones, which cost a fraction of artillery systems? What does holding territory even mean if it just means you bleed there day after day? Just to hold onto some wheat paddocks and destroyed shacks? What’s the point? Deprive a few thousand 80 year old peasants of their final years of peace in their ancestral hovels?
Have you seen the state of these villages they are fighting over?
China is now looking at those marine drones Ukraine is using and saying “We could lose an entire army at sea to a bunch of remote controlled jet skis, think we’ll wait a bit on the whole Taiwan thing”.
How do you hope to have peaceful relations with any of your neighbours if they are currently watching you invade and brutalise one of them? What a disaster.
Russia’s policies are insane.
How much they were tricked and provoked by Western powers into making this disastrous move is an open question for debate.
But the whole endeavour is an utter disaster for all involved, except the weapons manufacturers.
I bet none of this would be happening if Ukraine still had a few of those Soviet nukes that they surrendered on Clinton admin’s assurances if future protection. I bet they wish they still had at least one.
No wonder every dictator wants nukes and every democracy who doesn’t want them is not looking after their own populations’ best interests.
Which reminds me, whatever happened to all those “suitcase nukes” we were warned about years ago?
More fear and loathing?
We get so much propaganda it is not surprising some people just give up and give it all to some mob to protect them. Like the Democrats.

Pope Francis: We Need More Children; There’s ‘No Shortage of Dogs and Cats’ (11 May)
The climate tragics all want people to stop having children. But it’s a very welcome thing he is saying. One for mum, one for dad and one for the country someone said once. And brought in a baby bonus, which caused a small boom in births as I recall. Monetary encouragements do work.
When is he going to start questioning ‘outdated’ myths of dangerous climate change?
You don’t have more children if you are bamboozled into the climate change cult, an you can’t afford them in the ‘transition’ to deindustrialisation and a living standard where you can afford them even less.
Wake up to woke, Pope.

Live exports are continuing to have a devastating affect on my mental health. I lived in the Middle East for 20 years and saw cruelty to imported sheep that today still gives me nightmares. You have to be there to witness the abject cruelty and pain these poor animals endured. Death was a blessing,
Screw the greedy, incompetent farmers. They deserve to go broke and drive Ubers for the rest of their lives.
Of course he has, surfing in Bali.
Incompetent? Greedy?
Tell me you know nothing at all about farming in Australia without saying you know nothing about farming in Australia.
Sounds like the cruelty was in the Middle East.
It’s their instincts. Muslims seem to get off on it.
Aaron – it’s making the whore the criminal and letting the John go free.
Isn’t that racist? Asking for a AHRC near him.
What a disaster that was.
A better policy would have been to adjust the income tax regime to encourage working families to have more children and allow mothers to stay at home to care for them if they wished.
We have much of that now which is why Muslim women who have all those children don’t have to work.
No, they get handouts via the baby bonus and family “tax” benefit.
That’s not what I was referring to.
I was suggesting that working families should get to keep more of their own income via adjusted income tax rates.
Tax the family as an economic unit – which in reality it is. Once off option to elect for full income splitting. Get rid of most tax/family welfare churn (including all childcare). Allow people – women mostly – real choice.
He’s a joke, now. So embarrassing.

Even more better, Adelaide and Brisbane, sitting on three wins each and both needing a win to stay in contention, played a draw.
Which kind of puts a crimp in finals hopes for both of them.
Bolt’s column suggests that Wong voted with the murderers and rapists for a few Muslim votes.
I suggest that is a smaller part; the larger motivation is for the approval of the radical left that is ‘her’ party, and her own self-approval.
The job of the Opposition and in fact all decent people should be to have this taken as a litmus test; all the far left are OK with murder and violent rape of innocents by muslims.
Are you voting for decent human beings, or terrorist enablers??

From the old Thread:

No, it’s a step in the continuum that Islam has the right to arrogate to itself public space and deny it to others.
It’s like the occupation of public roadways for prayers (or green protests) – it is done to humiliate others, and to create a situation where they can loudly proclaim victimhood, while being the aggressors.
Many many ways this is done – refusing to give over a public park to a booked soccer game, demands of special days in public swimming places, deciding to have your prayer mat out in a busy embarkation platform.
The only way to deal with this is to reoccupy the public spaces – violently if need be.
But expect a long hard fight because they’ve used this tactic for 1400 years and well meaning fool/cowards have ALWAYS backed down.
About conquest – bit by bit. Believe what you see – your eyes are not lying.
My appraisal, fwiw, is that Wong is not an other-directed personality type.
She’s internally driven by ideology.
I agree Roger.

Watching Wong in parliament, she seems to be utterly disinterested in other opinions and rolls on like a dalek.
FG, please don’t insult Daleks.
Cut from the same cloth as Ted Lieu, senator from California. Totally impassive as they give the thumbs down.
Wong is a genuine bastard.

She isn’t disinterested, she is completely uninterested
There is a significant difference.
This is for commenters who have travelled a lot in Muslim countries. Does this sort of thing happen there? Do worshippers plonk their prayer mats anywhere they like regardless of inconvenience to others?
No that I’ve seen. There is usually an allocated space where they group together to pray.
No this is an act of intimidation reserved for Western nations.
No because there are mosques everywhere.
Office buildings have prayer rooms. On drillsites, you will see a cleaned and swept area of ground outlined with pebbles.

From the old thread.
Maybe they’ve just had a gutful of West and its moral corruption and duplicitous governments that appear to be on a 100 year “Kick Russian Arse Campaign.”
Maybe they’d like to point out that there’s a price to pay if the West doesn’t embark on a policy of “Live and Let Live.”
The fact that each of them have have been meddling in each others affairs for decades, and playing “The Great Game”, doesn’t enter into the picture.
The pair are sitting on a pile of gunpowder, shooting flares at each other, and each thinking they can contain the conflagration.
The problem for Russia is that Putin thinks like a spook, not a statesman. Nor like a military general. So everything on the world stage is a set of matryoshka dolls, both in his interpretation of events and in formulating Russian responses. It’s a fundamental mindset.

It’s not a conservative government but a coalition of non-Labour parties in which various interests & policy positions have to be balanced.
FM Winston Peters clarified that NZ does not support Palestinian statehood at this time but voted yes to further facilitate a peaceful resolution of the conflict. So, not quite as cynical as Wong. They’ll outline their position further at the UN this week.
Lets not forget Peters propped up Horseface for her whole tenure. He makes Windsor and Oakeshott look like honest men.

Dawson wanted to have it all: Judge
Claire Harvey
Justice Christina Adamson has asked the public defender representing Chris Dawson about Dawson’s motive to murder Lyn, given his desire to keep the children and the house, as well as his obsession with teenager JC.
Belinda Rigg told the court JC never indicated the reason she wanted to end the relationship was because Dawson was married.
“So it’s not as though she had ever expressed to the applicant a view, or care, that Ms Dawson was an impediment or the reason for her disinclination to continue with the relationship,” Ms Rigg said.
Justice Christina Adamson said: “Nonetheless, the applicant, from his point of view, wanted to keep the children, wanted to keep the house and wanted to keep JC, and one way of doing that would be to murder his wife.”
Ms Rigg said Dawson didn’t necessarily murder his wife despite those factors.
“Despite his love for his children, it was only two weeks earlier that he’d been prepared to leave them and leave the house,” Ms Rigg said.
“He had demonstrated himself to not particularly care about financial consequences,” Ms Rigg said.
Justice Adamson said: “But his brother, who was a solicitor, said if you leave that house you might jeopardise your financial interest in that house, and he explained that the pre-Christmas departure (when Dawson went to Queensland with JC) was impulsive because he was so desperate to be with JC.”
Ms Rigg said: “There was obviously a financial impact upon the applicant potentially in leaving the house and leaving his wife in the circumstances that he had, but it wasn’t something he’d shown himself to be overly troubled by in the circumstances.”

What recourse do I have against a mob of the local grifters who have moved into a vacant house, on my property, without the formality of so much as asking permission, let alone a lease, or rent?
Well feral pigs have been known to die of lead poisoning. Legally an’ all. It’s your property so if the feral pig just happened to be under the floorboards for several weeks that would be your privilege. Then I am sure another feral pig would make the ultimate sacrifice to continue the um, atmosphere of the occasion.
Start with formal complaints to the Police and the local Council.
That was the proposed course of action, indeed. I’m still rather stunned by it all.
They will do absolutely jack shit. Start eviction proceedings in xCAT immediately – it will take months
Not sure about WA law, but the police will probably require you to have asked the squatters to leave before they take any action. After that they can treat it as trespassing.
Sell it.
I’m sure the yard could do with a bit of fertilizing as well. Chicken, er, liquor is very good for lawns and sporting grounds I’ve
smelledheard.Claim they assaulted you (have a good witness) and take out AVOs.
I am very vulnerable to this myself.
Sorry I have no legal plan, but perhaps ‘evicting tenants or squatters’ is likely to be a far longer road than ‘ejecting trespassers’. Perhaps having a legitimate occupier with a signed lease, possibly even a corporation not a natural person, make the complaint to police will get action.
Ensure you’re not paying for power. Have a ‘serious water leak’ inside the premises.
It’ll be cheaper to fix than than have them destroy the place.
Or, arrange for an associate, say a motorcycle club, to recommend they vacate.
Take a wimmin to the site and get the grifters to threaten her or even look at her in a nasty way. Police will be there ASAP.
I think that Alamak’s is the best advice of all – provided that the trespassers do not include a female.
Otherwise, rock up with a witness & tell them to leave immediately as they are trespassing. A written direction as well, would be good to hand to them. Record your conversation on your iPhone & put it on paper later.
Then attend your local police station & tell them what you have done. Ask the police whether they would attend and reinforce your accusation that they are trespassing.
Make sure it’s insured and have mysterious fire occur while you are overseas.

There is no basis for changing the name of Sydney to an Aboriginal name as there was no Sydney before the First Fleet turned up. Same goes for every major City, other cities and every town/village that was not here before then.
Change other place names such as Ayers Rock if need be (no need really) and maybe those on Native Title land.
It’s all a load of BS IMHO.
But dangerous and insidious BS. All part of the process of humiliation of the whitefella.

“A better policy would have been to adjust the income tax regime to encourage working families to have more children and allow mothers to stay at home to care for them if they wished.”
It has been mooted from time to time for decades.
It’s called “income splitting”. But it’s not available to families where one is the breadwinner and the other stays at home to give the best care for kids. That would be the mother.
Women have been sold a crock ever since the bad old days of the 1970s, when we “mere males” were demonised day in day out as “male chauvinist pigs” and women who stayed at home were told they were tied to the sink by their apron strings and were of less value to society and to their own self respect for doing so.

I’ve now updated the Military Theorist’s thread with episodes 5 and 6. Ep. 7 comes out tomorrow.
Shoigu has been booted.
He got promoted. He’s replacing Patrushev as secretary of the Russian Security Council. If you know, you know.
“Promoted”. Yes.
I don’t know how else you could describe such a move. Also, the replacement for Shoigu is interesting, an economist/ numbers man.
Richard Fidler on TheirABC asking “why does Australia always encounter economic problems just after Labor wins?”
Blames GFC*, 1980’s recession, Russia (rather than actually drawing the dots together).

You’d think he’d join the dots. It’s simple as A-B-C…

Duty of care in war.
While attempting to declutter, I’ve stumbled upon the following in Commando, the official newsletter of the Commando Association of Victoria* Vol. 11, No. 79, Sept. 2011.
The author is a Tim McCormack, then Professor of Law at Melbourne Uni. First published in The Age, 25 May, 2011).
The incident referred to above took place in Oruzgan Province on the 12th of February, 2009. One adult and five children were killed when a grenade was launched into a room from where small arms fire had emanated, threatening the Australians outside.
This also begs the question re Israel & h@m@s: Legally, which combatant has the duty of care regarding civilians? If Israel has a legal as well as moral duty of care for the civilians in Gaza, did h@m@s not have a similar duty of care towards Israeli civilians on the 7th of October, 2023, which they grievously breached?

Bird fun, which all Cats know I like.
Solar panels have to be put up on racks on roofs. That allows cooling breezes for the panels.
The space under the solar panels is just the right size for Indian Mynahs. They like close spaces for their nests. When they find such a space they fill it with sticks and stuff (they love old chip packets and plastic film of all sorts). That creates a nice comfy nest.
Thus the introduced feral Indian Mynahs generously supply flammable materials just beneath the introduced feral solar panels. I think it is a win win.
Will keep an eye on the solar panel structure that supports our 10kw system! Even so – it is constructed on elevated metal poles in a paddock & is easy to see if any birds decide to make homes.
But we do have a problem with swallows on our verandah roof – so will do more checks of the structure in the paddock.
The Indian Mynahs think the salubrious Cafe penthouse is the best thing in the universe.
They fill it with sticks and plastic, which I have to climb up a ladder to remove. This spring I let them have their way with it, since the kookas weren’t interested. They hatched five chicks in their comfy roach motel.
The box is about ready to fall off the tree, since the support plate has rotted and the bolts have rusted away. So they’re welcome to it. It’s had a good run: producing five kooka kiddies in five years.

Dear Robert,
In Canberra tomorrow, I’m going to talk at Family First’s ACT gathering about Sophie Scholl.
In 1942 at the tender age of 22 she went to the guillotine with her brother Hans for her role in distributing anti-Nazi flyers at university.
If we had good leaders in Australia, the anti-Jewish protestors occupying our university quadrangles would be told to do some reading about the Scholl’s White Rose Society and the true nature of evil.
“Finally someone has to make start,” Sophie said before she was executed.
“We only said and wrote what many people think. They just don’t dare to express it.”
While not quite facing the horrors of Nazism, we nonetheless face a renewed totalitarian impulse from our elites which makes Sophie’s words resonate today.
Whether it’s the uncontested demonisation of Israel or the trashing of the family, faith, marriage, life and freedom values you and I hold dear, Australian politics lacks leadership to push back and speak up.
Someone has to make a start.
That’s why Family First is on a war footing as volunteer teams prepare for October elections in Queensland, the ACT and federally.
A Federal election could be as early as August or as late as May.
Your candidates on ballot papers can be beacons of hope, amid the dearth of moral leadership.
Victorian lead Senate candidate Bernie Finn is already campaigning hard – click here to see his schedule of public meetings.
And Family First’s Federal Executive this week asked me to lead the Senate ticket in New South Wales. Announcements for Senate candidates in other states will follow.
To succeed in getting elected to the Senate, Bernie and I need lower house candidates to run with us to lift the Senate vote.
While we welcome people with time to campaign, even a minimal effort on your part is incredibly helpful. Simply getting Family First on ballot papers is key.
Getting elected will be hard, but we must make a start. Waiting for someone else to step up is not an option.
If you’d like more information about standing as a candidate, please contact the following volunteers:
Supporting Israel
Family First stands firmly on the side of Israel in its war with the evil Hamas terrorist organisation.
I encourage all Victorian supporters and members to join with Jane and Bernie in showing solidarity with our Jewish community by attending the Never Again is Now rally on May 19.
This week on ADH TV, I conducted an extended interview with Dr David Adler of the Australian Jewish Association. He dispels myths about civilian causalities and other Hamas propaganda that has been bought by our government and media.
Anyone who lives in regional Australia that votes Labor is an idiot:

Now that unions don’t need members and can live off the cash flow from superannuation management fees, their political masters in the ALP are free to indulge their ideological fantasies, like getting into bed with Hamas’s terrorists and that feeding the world via agriculture is bad because climate change — or something.
It’s in Labor’s DNA to hate farmers who — after all — are just tribal enemies running small businesses.

The fidler is fiddling around with history. Australia experienced a mild slowdown due to the GFC. It didn’t experience a recession because our banking system was solid and the labor market was still operating under Howard’s de-regulatory regime called WorkChoices.
And above all, China kept buying iron ore.
This is for commenters who have travelled a lot in Muslim countries. Does this sort of thing happen there?
I’ve worked in plenty and yes they do. I’ve seen the rijal ( blokes) plonk their mats everywhere from car parks, sides of the road, shopping malls, market places and on aircraft. 3 o’clock is the big one, they will block roads if there is enough of them. Otherwise they prefer to be seen at the mosque. The guys I saw were probably Ahmadiyya. They are the heroes at present as one was killed in Westfield. The sects like to show off in a safe country.
Was just talking to Fidler the other day, pitching my “Mosque of Hard Knocks” show concept at him.
I was just pointing out to him that if left outside the safety net of a closely monitored place of Allah worship, then a young swarthy person might be in danger of exposure to Radicalized Online internets, or worse still Christianity, but the phone went dead all of a sudden.
Credit contraction is very ungood, signaling there’s a problem. It could be coming out of the besieged real estate sector though.
They’re partially trying to export their way out problems, but I think this isn’t going to work as the barriers will go up. Hiden is talking about raising 100% tariffs on Chinese EV sales and I’m sure the Euros are that far behind.
One of the problems an economy has when you have intervention at every turn is that price/pricing mechanisms aren’t allowed to work.

Apart from removing all my old Gravatars, the site appears to have turned into an email/phone/data skimming operation. “Tell us something about yourself.”

As an aside, I now can’t download photos of my Tropical Ulcer from my phone. Unless, of course, I install yet another ‘app’ from an organisation I know nothing about, and which will assume I want to share all my details with them.
Everybody has an app but no one really knows precisely what it is collecting.
It looks suspiciously like everyone is taking in everyone’s else’s washing. And we’re all getting rich – unless the effort to collect, collate, and compare the data leads to a meltdown of the grid.

These days everything seems to require an App. Husband and I are resistant to this trend & refuse to install them on most occasions. I know that it is claimed that they are easier and quicker than websites. SO??????
Accused Islamic State terrorist Neil Prakash faces court
By john ferguson
The man accused of being one of the nation’s most feared terrorists made a rare court appearance on Monday that ended abruptly when he turned his back on the video camera and knocked on the door of a prison witness room.
Neil Prakash, 31, was extradited from Turkey to Darwin in December 2022 and has been charged by the Victorian Joint Counter Terrorism Team with six terrorism-related offences following his time allegedly with Islamic State.
Prakash has rarely been seen in years, appearing via video link before the Melbourne Magistrates Court, wearing a white Islamic prayer cap with a black band.
He closed his eyes several times over a period of about 20 minutes before magistrate Rohan Lawrence ruled that the accused could be absent from proceedings until, or unless, he is committed to stand trial.
The charges include being an alleged member of a terrorist organisation, of advocating for terrorism and engaging in hostile activities overseas.
Prakash was raised in Melbourne and became a high profile international figure during the rise and decline of Islamic State.
Prakash has previously refused to appear before the Melbourne Magistrates Court.
The court heard that Prakash had become radicalised more than a decade ago after attending the now closed al-Furqan Islamic Centre in Melbourne’s Springvale.
A former senior journalist with The Australian, Paul Maley, also gave evidence about a series of communications he said he had with Prakash that led to prominent articles published nearly a decade ago.
Mr Maley outlined how he had received a series of threats while reporting on Islamic State during the worst of the Middle East crisis.
He was questioned at length by defence lawyer Liz Morgan about what records he had kept of exchanges with Prakash, what communications platforms had been used, including twitter and encrypted services.
Two former friends of Prakash gave evidence about his alleged path to radicalisation.
The Australian has previously reported that Prakash’s citizenship was revoked in 2018 by former Home Affairs minister Peter Dutton.
However, it was reinstated after a High Court finding that the laws used to strip him of his citizenship were unconstitutional.
This is another P.O.S. who should be given a fair trial, then shot.
With hollow points.
I thought it’s a good way to highlight a quote against one’s own comment. If the tools are there why not use them?
Honest question, is there a problem doing so, such as slowing down the site, because I think you once complained about it on the old site?
JC, clearly it’s because you are bold & of Italian stock.
Dover laid that one up for you.
LOL
No, its just I find one of the three is usually enough.
Let’s negotiate. Can we settle on two then?
I find italics and quote works best in case I forget the quote button. Bolding on top is a bit of an overkill for a quote, I like bolding when people highlight something worth a look.

They really have a problem, particular because it’s a controlled exchange rate. If the exchange rate was a free float, they could at least say that a fall in the price of the Yuan was market determined and there’s not much they could do. See the Japan/ Yen as an example.
If they begin to depreciate the Yuan in any meaningful way there’s going to be an almighty squeal from the Americans and the Europeans.
If they freed it up now allowing capital to flow, the wall of money wanting to leave would be of historic proportions.
JC, a question as its intrigued me for a little while now, is there any particular reason you quote, bold, and italicize your quotations?
It’s a compensating mechanism. But out of respect we should not discuss it.
Dover,
Let me ask you. If the quote treatment intrigues you, then how do you feel about that big brained mammal, Trans, telling us he doesn’t capitalize the beginning letter of a sentence as he’s so used to not doing so because he, the senior Google software engineer, writes code all the time. Recall that? 🙂

He reiterated his claim that the current laws do not apply to him because they were being ‘forced on Aboriginal people’ on ‘stolen land’.
I am sick to death of this BS. If that’s the way the bastard wants it let him be stripped of all benefits, clothes and Western possessions and then kick his naked arse into the middle of the Simpson.
Given two spears, a dead kangaroo for rations, and a skin cloak.
Give him a live roo – he can hunt it down just like in the Olden Times.
Don’t give him one, let him find it himself.
And cancel his welfare payments, made under laws “forced on him”.

Why is Australia prepared to go to war to defend a country that it doesn’t recognise in Taiwan?
Because we have an alliance with the US , to respond if called on to enter hostilities. In short if the US says we are IN it, we are IN it.

Another failed (malicious?) prosecution of soldiers by the detritius that make up Defence Legal.
This is the third occasion that soldiers have been put through hell only to have the case dismissed because they were charged with a crime that did not exist on the statute books.
Wondering how the MAJGEN and swarms of BRIG in Defence legal could have permitted these illegal prosecutions to proceed I contacted a pal who was involved in defending the SAS soldiers who were falsely charged in 2005.
He described a festering cesspit populated with “dumb activist bitches” who get away with laying charges not on the basis of the law, but on the basis of what they believe the law should be.
He said that there was more to come because Defence People Group were a renegade organisation.
OK, he was emotional, but if even part of what he says is true ………….

I would need to know what rootstock is being used.
Rootstocks are typically R. centifolia, multiflora or Dr Huey.
The trick with the ones illustrated is finding something of sufficient girth and length. I imagine canes are staked and field grown for the purpose, but it would take a few years before they are suitable.
It’s not a big deal, Lysander. Every president showers with their daughters. It’s a rite of passage to the oval office. 🙂
CNN and MSNBC, NYTimes say so.
On the “rose tree” perfectly possible. It’s just a matter of finding suitable rootstock (usually Rosa centifolia) and grafting material into the cambium layer.
Commercially, it’s done using slim wand-like canes (pencil thickness), but in the video they’re using quite old, heavy bases. The most common types of grafting material on such tall standards are usually the “weeping” varieties. These guys use upright forms and plenty of them to create a large base at the grafting point.
Very impressive.

Under the O’biden Regime, Iran has now (probably) developed a nuclear warhead. We watched, and talked, and watched and talked some more, then gave Iran Billions of dollars to ‘not’ develop the bomb, then watched and investigated and talked some more.
Watch the Western Quislings suck up to Iran in the hopes of not being the first to have the nuclear egg laid on their porch.
And when it does (probably) get laid on Tel Aviv, either by aircraft, rocket, or donkey cart, the Mullahs will tell the Quislings that they have two more emplaced in London and Washington.
Israel will be thrown under the bus, but she’ll enjoy a little revenge first.
The issue is that this was preventable.
He’s the Prime Minister don’t you know. And if we look like forgetting, he’ll remind us.
Mr. 32% girds his loins.
Since World War II, the LNP has been the natural party of Australian national government. Except when it’s taken over by subversives like ALP reject Malcolm Turnbull, It’s the only party that represents Australian aspiration.
The ALP represents unionised labor — the ideological enemy of Australian aspiration.
We’re now seeing the results of a radical activist ALP federal government: in bed with Hamas, at war with farmers and small business.
Financed by compulsory superannuation, the ALP is now using the full resources of big government to campaign against aspiration, private industry and small business to achieve a socialist revolution.
Mr Potato Head has much responsibility on his shoulders to deliver a resurgence of Australian aspiration to the nation’s outer suburbs.
Where IS Mr Dutton??

This concept, it hardly needs to be said, has been rightly pilloried for quite some time.
If one is to advocate for violently overthrowing governments/kicking out Muslims from praying in public/storming the nearest Chemtrail Inc office and burning it to the ground, one should at least be in a position to actually lead the charge, rather than yelling about it from the couch.
You are, in fact, the peanut gallery you complain about.
If you are not prepared to do that, then gobbing off about it (Rise Up! Stand, Fight and if necessary Fall!) will inevitably generate further justified ridicule.
And in answer to your question – I will do something about Muslims praying in public as soon as you do. And it wasn’t a ‘suggestion’ you made, it was a statement.
Of course, if some of those people end up in hospital and desperately ill, I will be right behind you as you sneak into their rooms and pull the plug on the BingBong machine.

May I suggest contacting the local council.
Co-opting a park for a worship service would require a permit, I would have thought, which I doubt was applied for or would be granted.
No permits required if you are a rag head.
Outside of inner-city Melbourne, local councils are fairly un-pc in that regard.
Run and administered by pedants and sticklers for rules.
It is over quickly, less than 5 minutes. But very visible. So forget the council. A couple of happy dogs will put a stop to it. As they can’t pray if a dog touches them. Simple. Black dogs are the best as it is the devil (shaytun).

The second shot was to stop her from ever being able to point the finger.
“She suffered two gunshot wounds, entering the right side of her face with a projectile in her head, and a shot to the left lower back,’ Mr McKay told the panel.”

My grandfather loved and adored the following….his wife, his children, his grandchildren, his kelpie, Sir James Cook and Sir John Monash.
I feel so ashamed of this country now, we have sunk so low.
I love this story about a young John Monash….
“John Monash was brought up bilingually (but never acquired any Yiddish); his parents spoke good English. For three years he attended St Stephen’s Church of England School, Richmond.

Comment over at the Oz – most of the University students have probably never heard of Sir John Monash, and think the University was named after the Freeway.
Huge Protest in Warsaw, Poland Against EU’s Green Deal Ahead of European Parliamentary Elections
Monash was, I understand, supposed to be an engineering university but somehow it acquired an Arts faculty which led to it being called the sewer. They actually raised money for the VC there in the 60s. Despicable.
Cite you the story of the activist who walked into a bank, and asked the teller how he could send money to the Viet Cong. The bank teller – at a time when bank tellers were armed – was a Vietnam veteran….
Many years ago, a work colleague explained that it was necessary for engineering students to study Yartz subjects, so that they could understand the wider community.
The thought that engineering students lived in the wider community never entered his head.
I can attest to that. I had a choice of subjects like philosophy, literature and economics type subjects, or music history.
I play keys, so music history it was. It was by far, the biggest bludge of my degree and top mark for any subject.
Mind you, to pass we had to go to the odd concert and write a review. One of which was some music society at Caulfield and it was French Crusade music of the 15th century. It was woeful. The society couldn’t believe their luck when 40 odd 20-21 year olds rocked up because entry was $2.00. It’s 2 hours none of the class will get back.

Cancer Surging in Young People: Experts Ignore the Obvious
No modern university is complete without an Arts faculty, a Philosophy department and a Gender Studies school. Without such enlightened people they would be a mere technical university, graduating students who could build stuff and do things.
It’s curious though that no one doing a Bachelor of Basket Weaving at Monash was ever made to do a subject in a hard science or engineering. You know, to round out their understanding of the world.

“Monash, The Outsider Who Won a War”. Bloody brilliant book by Roland Perry.
And after he helped win the war against Germany (WW1) he went on to establish the Victorian power system, using brown coal (plentiful) and processing methods brough back from Germany who used similar stuff.
The best biography – the first written with access to Monash’s private papers –
was by Geoffrey Serle.

‘Settler colonists’: Leading Palestinian activist slams Australia, IsraelTricia Rivera
Australian Palestine Advocacy Network president Nasser Mashni turned up to the rally and made a speech shortly before 8pm.
“We need to be very clear in our minds what our fight is for. We fight together for all of humanity,” Mr Mashni said.
“Palestine, the Palestinians we see there … they are an exemplar of steadfastness, of faith, of dignity.
“These are the tenants of who we are and we should draw our strength from it. It should inform our struggle.
“Our struggle is a just struggle, it’s a just struggle for humanity.”
Mr Mashni said that “settler colonists” such as Israel and “the system here” bomb land.
“Indigenous people don’t do that,” he said.
“Israel and Australia share two things in common, aside from being a sh*thole, racist, settler colony, that’s the number one thing, they also have the highest incidence of skin cancer.
“Their skin is designed for Northern Europe, where there is not much sun so you need to be white so you get extra vitamin D.
“But our skin is designed for this land, it’s designed for the Middle East. Not to say Judaism isn’t connected to the land.”
The rally wrapped up at about 8:15pm.
Woolly bulls are in season, dickbrain. Get one up you!
Right, so he/she being here is not adding to the weight of the settler accusation, they are sort of allowed because -? Logic fail.
Fuck off to somewhere else, and when she/he gets there, fuck off some more.
The most embarrassing thing I did at a Christmas party, that I’ll never forget, was congratulating a woman for being pregnant. She wasn’t. She was overweight.
I was tactful and delicate in a similar situation.
“Are you in the club or have you been overdoing the Tim-tams?”
“Palestine, the Palestinians we see there … they are an exemplar of steadfastness, of faith, of dignity.”
Your comments on those Palestinians who carried out the worst murder of Jews since the Holocaust? Shut the door on your way out, fvckknuckle.
A despicable race of sub human scum… Absolutely NONE of them are to be trusted…. with anything.
I’d go along with that, Digger.
My great uncle served with 2/32nd Battalion in Wobbly Wobbly Two. He was based in Palestine at one time – he described the Arab villages as filth, built on filth.
Does this dumb racist turd live in Australia? Perhaps he’d better move to a place more conducive to his preferences.
Somewhere else. Hopefully far far away.
It’s raining in Santiago today. The streets are slick, the bars and cafes in the old town are full.
Every so often a pilgrim or two trudges up the street past my hotel room (we are right beside one of the easy entrances to the old town). The backpacks streaming, heads down, determination in every footstep. Not far now.
Yesterday I bought a clam shell with the pilgrim’s mark on it. I am a fraud. But it’s not for me but my brother, who will never get to visit here.
I introduced the Beloved to churros dipped in chocolate today. Satan’s recipe for weight gain. Hot, fresh out of the fryer, the melted chocolate resembling the sun’s core. You can’t stop at one.

They weren’t called Simply Red for nothing. Red politically. Hucknall also thinks people who mock rangas are “bigots”.
This is unheard of in international affairs. I’m shocked.
It isn’t obvious. It is a very complicated issue. Take Professor Farnsworth seriously: “I knew it, I found the answer on youtube!”
A decades long trend. Not just cancer. CVD, obesity, Diabetes, NAFLD, anxiety, depression, all spiking. Diet certainly is an issue, even with anxiety and depression there is good evidence for that. What isn’t obvious is why are so many chronic diseases occurring at younger ages? Why specific types of cancer? For example:
I even read a report a few days ago of higher rates At Fib in people under 65, arrhythmias are risk factors for stroke and heart failure. Yesterday a report about a surge younger onset colorectal cancer.
This is a paradox for me. It is the age of gym, the age of organic food, the age of health awareness greater than any previous generations yet younger onset of chronic conditions are rising at alarming rates. It is only “obvious” if we ignore all the data.
Interestingly at a time when smoking has never had lower uptake. Certainly in Australia.
The cost of a packet brings on various ailments on those beyond reform, though.
Something that puzzles me.
Why hasn’t Stormy Daniels been charged with blackmail or extortion. She went to Trump for money otherwise she’d tell. He paid her to shut up (stupid, stupid move). He was the victim.
Last time I looked, extra marital sex was not a crime. But blackmail is.

I may be wrong, it’s a bit hazy and I may have mixed it up with someone else, but the way it was, she tried to ‘blackmail’ Trump’s clients and they were not going to charge her, for privacy reasons, but asked Trump for help and a hush money was so arranged.
If I got it wrong, apologies.
Ps, to the Stormy affair, as previous, I think that’s how it started but later morphed into a Trump assault charge.

Do You Even Know What Cinnamon Tastes Like?

Also in this article:
Homogenizing and repackaging imported foods under one blanket term is nothing new. Some 69% of the imported olive oils sold on American shelves don’t meet international standards for extra virgin olive oil.
?
True – the stuff at the supermarket described as ‘cinnamon’ is a pale shadow of the real thing when it comes to flavour and intensity.
I use imported cinnamon from Holland (Kaneel made by Albert Heijn) and it is vastly superior and much more concentrated. I estimate that you only need about a fifth as much to get a comparable amount of flavour, and much better flavour at that.
FTB, thanks for the link to a great article and from there to the research at “The Journal of Drug Research in Ayurvedic Sciences. After decades and decades of buying cinnamon to bake Christmas cakes now I understand why there was such variation between the packets of spice, Revelation!
Both articles clarify the differences between the spices ‘Cinnamomum verum’. Ceylon Cinnamon – the spice used more in Ayurvedic ‘medicine’ than cooking (‘Champagne’); and ‘Cinnamomum cassia’, the spice ‘preferred for cooking’ as it has a much, much stronger flavour profile (‘Prosecco’).
If you purchase the spice as ‘quills’ it is quite easy to distinguish between them, Cinnamomum v. is a stick of thin, many layered bark, fragile in appearance; Cinnamomum c. is a single stick of thick rolled bark.
The batshit craziness of the Nazi economic policies have been memory holed.
