I keep asking myself, how did we get to this stage in politics and civil society?
I remember how we despised the USSR and satellite nations for the show trials, and now, here we are.
Not only that but we have people in the public and on this blog who are rejoicing in the outcome.
What comes next?
The camps.
Mass “attitude adjustment? Civil war?
We got here because we were too busy, too polite or too comfortable. We didn’t push back when the little things were introduced. When the left started subverting the language and using it for their own purposes, many of us went along with it. I refused to call homos gay and still do, it cost me a couple of people who I thought were friends. It was worth losing them as they showed they could not be trusted.
The ABC being a classic case.
Now so far left as to be a joke, but can’t be touched as it would be “Fascist right wing liberals punish free speech from oppressed ABC freedom fighters”.
Exactly. Starts small. Bit by bit the frog … Too many people will not take risks and make sacrifices to stand against systemic injustice. They prefer to go along to get along until it boomerangs back and bites them on the butt.
The Government of Spain has said they will take up to 2 million refugees from Gaza.
I’m not sure the people will be so enthused but then they did vote for Christmas.
meanwhile you have to wonder if Gazans will take up the offer of being err voluntarily ethically cleansed.
Once in Spain what’s stopping them from going anywhere else in the EU?
The borders with Portugal and France are very lightly policed, that might change.
In conclusion the cabal is obviously controlling the Spanish government, that canal will be built.

They will, of course, feel right at home in southern Spain. Madness. I recall visiting an antique shop (can’t recall which town now) where there was a Moroccan antique with some sort of Islamic inscription on it. The Spanish shop owner said an Islamic woman entered the shop recently and demanded that it not be displayed because it had some religious reference on it. There will be a lot more of the same.
A reverse Isabella in fact then?
We should recognise the caliphate of el Andalusia immediately.
That is certainly what these Palestinians will demand.

It seems when various Spanish government officials declare that Israel is committing a genocide they are merely giving ‘personal opinions’ otherwise based on a Spanish supreme court ruling in 2020 Spain would be obligated to take anyone from Gaza who wanted to claim asylum.
Some enterprising Gazans may wish to test that on the Spanish courts.
No doubt some will.
The BBC is no better than the ABC and when you add the plummy condescension it’s almost worse.
Coles & Woolworths plummet in consumer trust ratings:
Carrying water for the Labor Party’s squirrel campaign.
Walk into IGA any day, it’s more expensive that Colesworths.
And my local Coles has just completed their expensive reno to put all their cold stuff into fridges with doors. That will’ve been easily justified on the electricity cost, which is Albo’s fault.
?
You’ve fallen into the genetic fallacy, Bruce.
The public is awake to the sharp practices of the duopoly.
Rubbish Roger. It is a transparent attempt by Albo and Chalmers to shift blame for inflation in advance of the coming election.
The “sharp practices” of which you speak are Colesworth pressuring suppliers to not raise their prices.
That is exactly opposite of price gouging. It lowers inflation not raising it. Their net profit is around 3% even after that.
This propaganda and garbage from the ALP is evil. Lies, pure and simple, because they are the cause of inflation but they want to snow the voters with GOUGING! Well as I say walk into IGA and see what the prices are like. I can usually save maybe $20 on a trip to Coles 5 km away compared to IGA less than a kilometre away.
Bullshit.
With all their focus on virtue signalling, I’m not sure if Woolies actually have their heart in procuring and selling food.
The way they seem to have no contingencies around supply makes me think they would be happy to sell just one item as long as they sold lots of it. Even then, I think they would botch the supply chain.
Neither big grocery retailer cares about customer opinion, because the public cannot avoid purchasing their goods.
Reality is you can’t do a weekly shop without at least one & often several items from the previous shop having gone up in price ……

‘Israel pushes on in a mad world’
Editorial The Australian May 30, 2024
Did the IDF have to re-enter Northern Gaza recently?
https://www.timesofisrael.com/two-soldiers-killed-in-gaza-as-idf-leaves-jabaliya-presses-into-center-of-rafah/
Help me out here.
If they had control of Jabaliya, (because we all know that the IDF is in complete control, ….., right?), why did they have to go back, …….., for the Third time?
You may recall, that I said on about the 10th October 2023, that:
“It is NOT in Israel’s best interests to enter Gaza”.
So I gather from the comments, that everyone is still happy with Ben Pfizer’s decision to sacrifice Israeli lives, on an unachievable aim, to keep his sorry arse out of prison?
He must have read St Volodymyr the Pure’s book, on How to depopulate.
Have those 100,000 displaced Israeli’s from the region near the border with Lebanon gone back home yet?
Now, ….., the IDF is “winning”, isn’t it?
670 dead IDF in the Gaza area alone. Many times that up north.
Do you think that the rising toll, on this conscript army, is not affecting public opinion?
Israeli’s are leaving Israel in significant numbers.
The economy is going down the drain, but, no worries, “Hakol dvash!”
Any day now, Benjamin Pfizer will announce that Hamas, (his baby), has been destroyed.
If you believe that, I have a very nice bridge you may be interested in.
Thanks Roger. You really wonder about Army Officer selection when someone like Wilkie was even a contender.
No. 1 son is an officer in the army.
He’s no Andrew Wilkie, though. 😀

Wasn’t there something about Wilkie at Duntroon and Hitler’s birthday?
If the Sydney Moaning Hemorrhoid is to be believed, he ordered a group of junior cadets to give a general salute, on Hitlers birthday.
Yes; hazing incident involving juniors.

This more or less sums up my thoughts on the Trump conviction, more eloquently than I would have put it.
https://borepatch.blogspot.com/2024/05/rubicon.html
The Democratic Party has crossed the Rubicon. What’s strange is that they’re in a fairly weak position, which implies that we will see a ratcheting up of more of their actions to protect “our Democracy”. I don’t see any possibility that they will ratchet any of this down; on the contrary, Trump’s chances of being Epsteined in jail are getting a lot of discussion these days.
But Rubicon isn’t quite the proper analogy. I posted what I thought was the right analogy back on January 6, 2020. It’s sad to see that it reads every bit as true today as it did then, including an ancient Roman Epsteining.
Dura lex, sed lex.
Enoch Powell was one of the first politicians to be de-platformed. As with most of these sorts of innovations, this happened in the Old World in the 1960s. I posted about this seven years ago, although Google can no longer find this; DuckDuckGo can, though (and that tells you everything you need to know about search engines):
Today we saw the occupation of the Capitol building by people “annoyed” by what they (and many others) see as the theft of a Presidential election. The protesters chased off first the Capitol Hill police and then the Congress itself. It looks like one women lost her life, shot by a cop. We’ll have to see – early news is notoriously unreliable.
But looking at this, I thought of Virgil. He of course, did not make up the Aeneid out of whole cloth; Virgil wrote propaganda for the first Roman Emperor, Augustus. The Aeneid was propaganda, but what propaganda. It made Caesar Augustus’ family history into legend. Because it was propaganda, it was exaggeration, but it was useful exaggeration to Augustus who while not related to the Great Leaders of the previous century was able to deftly exploit those leaders’ exploits to his own advantage.
The most important leader at the beginning of the end of the Roman Republic was Tiberius Sempronius Gracchus, He was the guy who noticed that while the Roman Republic had swept all foreign enemies before it, the working class had suffered despite the great riches of empire. Tiberius Gracchus decided to run for public office despite his great family wealth, and to put forth his formidable political skills to benefit the Roman Working Joe. He failed, because the Roman political establishment buried their traditional political differences in the face of Gracchus’ challenge, and in fact had him killed.
In short, the Roman Deep State closed ranks to block needed reform. It was the beginning of the end of the Roman Republic as long cherished political norms (Mos Maiorum) were cast aside. And so two generations of the Roman political elite were exterminated in a civil war so profound that what was left of the exhausted Republican Elite welcomed the first Imperator with open arms because he ended the civil wars.
Throughout this whole period in Roman History, the Law was supreme. Of course, the Law bent to the prevailing political winds. As the Roman said, “The Law is harsh, but it is the Law”. Dura Lex, sed Lex.
Donald Trump is the Tiberius Gracchus of our day. He is the guy who noticed that while the American Republic had swept all foreign enemies before it, the working class had suffered despite the great riches of empire. Donald Trump decided to run for public office despite his great family wealth, and to put forth his formidable political skills to benefit the American Working Joe. He failed, because the American political establishment buried their traditional political differences in the face of Trump’s challenge, and in fact had him [well, we’ll have to see if they let him live free, or jail him, or kill him].
But Tiberius Gracchus had many supporters, who didn’t let the Roman political elite rest easy. Likewise with Donald Trump, as we saw today:
Some of Gracchus’ supporters were killed, as we saw today. Looking forward, I am filled with foreboding. Like the Roman, I seem to see the river Potomac foaming with much blood. We’re already started, it seems. The only questions really remaining is who is to play the part of Augustus Caesar, and how many of the elite families (and, it must be said, other families) must die before a grateful Republic reaches for their savior Emperor?
But the Founding Fathers knew about the failings of the Roman Republic. They strived to avoid them in their Republic. As a student of history I must say that they avoided the Roman pitfalls for 200 years. Not bad at all.
Never mind that the Romans avoided these for almost 500 years. God Save this Honorable Republic.

Scott Austic report argues jury wrongly acquitted WA man over Stacey Thorne’s murder
A headline-grabbing case of false imprisonment — the conviction and then acquittal of Scott Austic for the 2007 murder of Stacey Thorne — has been upended by an explosive report that torpedoes claims he was framed for the crime.
The 32-page review of the police investigation and four related court cases suggests the jury got it wrong in the West Australian man’s final trial, freeing a cold-blooded killer who would go on to win a $1.6 million compensation payout.
That jury believed his claims that he was framed by detectives, who were accused of planting key pieces of evidence in the days after Ms Thorne’s body was found riddled with stab wounds in the South West WA town of Boddington.
The case is etched in legal history and was the subject of documentaries on Channel 7’s Sunday Night program and the ABC’s Australian Story.
Twelve years after he was sent to jail for life — and four years after he walked out a free man, a previously secret report into the long-running saga has been tabled in WA’s State Parliament.
That investigation reveals new information about the legitimacy of three pieces of evidence Mr Austic’s lawyers said was planted: a blood-stained cigarette packet at the father-of-two’s house, a can of bourbon and cola outside Ms Thorne’s flat, and a knife in a field near the murder site.
Shadow police minister Peter Collier last week tabled the report, which was compiled by former police officer-turned-private investigator Robyn Cottman at the behest of Ms Thorne’s family, who are appalled that her murder remains unsolved.
“Having read a report compiled by Cottman Investigation Services into Stacey’s murder, I feel duty bound to make comment on her murder,” Mr Collier said.
“If I don’t, and I remain silent, I will be accepting a standard that I walk past. I am not prepared to accept this standard. Stacey deserves more.”
The report raises compelling questions by producing evidence that refutes claims of evidence-tampering, specifically that:
According to this tweet Mahmoud Nashabt, a Fatah man, was murdered by Hamas yesterday, that might explain the show of strength at his funeral.
No doubt will be added to the Israeli genocide total.
Further someone in the replies says the killer was a member of the Al-Baz family and the murder relates to an old vendetta, and that Hamas rule had controlled the old (tribal) bullying and retribution that was part of life in Gaza.
Truly a paradise.

How would a Fatah man get a command with Hamas .. one of the tweets has to be wrong ..!
Season update (Riverina Edition)
Finished all dryland ground last Sunday and all irrigated ground Thursday evening, just in time for the 48mm of flannery which soaked us in the early hours Friday morning.
4,654ha on my rigs meter with the other, much smaller seeder doing just shy of 1000ha. It does all the irrigated ground and some smaller dryland blocks.
All this ground save for the 570ha of lentils had at least 100kg/ha of urea spread pre sowing, with 200kg on the irrigated canola and durum.
Nearly all ground was “double knocked” prior to sowing (Initial hit of Glyphosate followed after a few days by paraquat mixed with the pre emergent), so control of problem weeds has again been excellent.
We made a bit of a bold management decision re changing the last dryland paddock (420ha) from the planned field peas to a late, short season, canola.
This was based on various long range forecast models predicting a very wet spring with the onset of another LaNina.
In this scenario legume crops get hammered by disease and can’t cope with having “wet feet” as well as other crop types.
The canola option still gives us a rotation out of cereals, albeit with higher input costs but a much greater chance of something to harvest at the other end if it gets wet wet and all the dams and river systems fill up yet again.
Latest Ag Weather update from Nutrien.
Ag Forecast for Australia with Eric Snodgrass (in-depth) | May 29, 2024 (youtube.com)
The update previous to this, plus information from a couple of other long range forecasters prompted the change to late canola.
I did post this last night on the OOT and for those who haven’t seen it it is worth at least going to the 16:30min mark to see how far out our BOM is with their predictions. It’s obvious they are politically compromised.
As mentioned we had 40mm+ on Friday morning, on top of 80mm two weeks previous and 10mm a week before that!
Prior to this rain I was flat out spreading urea on the dryland canola, including my small empire of 305ha. You couldn’t order a better scenario and because we were able to start sowing into moisture on the 11th April we have near 75% ground cover with canola already.
I feel for Gez and others down there who have been sowing “dry”, my harvesting clients south of Horsham have been sending me photos of airseeders shrouded in dust for a couple of weeks.
After a bit of a spell the next operations will be post emergent spraying for grass weeds as well as fence lines etc and the ever required R&M.
That’ll do for now, going to walk the woofers around the house paddock.
Thanks, Bushie.
I really enjoy our farmers’ reports.
Me too. Great work there! And yeah, didn’t need Eric to tell me the BOM has been politically hobbled.
Great thing about the Cat is the opportunity to hear from (and sometimes even meet up with) people from all across the country in rural areas as well as in the cities. Keep the reports coming, rural farming guys and gals. Good to hear from the food producers of the nation. Same goes for the mining areas too.
So Fatah have declared war on Israel? Gooood. Now the IDF can legally conquer the PA area on the West Bank.

Brittany Higgins to wed David Sharaz at The Valley Estate in Currumbin, Qld
By duncan evans
Former Liberal staffer Brittany Higgins will marry David Sharaz at one of Australia’s most exclusive and elegant wedding venues.
The couple are expected to tie the knot at the stunning The Valley Estate venue at Currumbin Water, about 25km south of the Gold Coast on Saturday.
The pair, who have moved to France, will exchange their vows following Mr Sharaz’s proposal at Byron Bay on New Year’s Eve in 2022.
The Valley Estate boasts an elegant red-brick “manor”, chapel and jetty and an open terrace space with fountains and beautiful lawns.
“The Manor is a bright and impossibly beautiful space that features dramatic arched windows and grand chandeliers,” the venue’s website states.
“A space where industrial influences and textures coalesce.
“There’s truly no better place for your reception – a place where memories are made.”
The venue also hosts multiple settings for the ceremony, including a non-denominational chapel and a jetty on the bank of a lake.
“The Valley Estate Chapel is wildly charming, understated and exquisitely finished,” the website states.
“Antique oak pews and lead glass windows frame spectacular hinterland views.”
I’ve never really associated exclusive and elegant with the Gold Coast. Britt’s monochrome departure for La belleFrance did not fill me with hope.
Me neither.
You’d have thunk after all the, latest, media publicity they’d have opted for a “quiet” ceromony, out of sight, out of mind, …. but ……… some folk never learn, apparently ..!
They can’t get married in a chapel! Their woke left patrons will excommunicate them with bell, book and candle.
The bigger the matrimonial nonsense, the bigger and faster the inevitable crash and burn happens. In my experience, anyway.
Including one spectacular wedding ‘event’ of a couple together for 5 years prior to the ‘exclusive’ ceremony that were all done after 4 months.
Yes, my niece had a huge wedding and pre-wedding palaver and the marriage lasted for just under a year.
“So Fatah have declared war on Israel? Gooood. Now the IDF can legally conquer the PA area on the West Bank.”
That’s not the conclusion I drew.
Al Aqsa Martyr’s Brigade stated a couple weeks ago that they participated in Oct 7.
That is a declaration of war.
We knew that from the get go. What Fatah does in Gaza doesn’t directly implicate Fatah in the West bank.
Yes it does.
When Japan carried out a sneak attack on Pearl Harbor did the US only declare war on the militant party which was in government.
No they didn’t, they declared war on Japan, and carried the war through until Japan surrendered unconditionally and released all prisoners.
Since the military arm of the party in power in Ramallah committed an even worse attack on Israel than Pearl Harbor it is now within Israel’s moral and national right to do what the US did.
And Mr Splatbat is an initial dividend.
Looks like predictions the Sharaz Higgins alliance is crumbing were premature.
Drawn together by croissants, adversity and exuding power. A love story for the ages.
I give it six months. They will have spent her payout, by then.

Just like the case in NY, the people Freisler sentenced to death had had a trial and were found guilty. If a court says it we must accept it is justice.
And most of Beria’s victims also had a form of trial.
There is a higher justice called ‘natural’ justice, and kangaroo courts deny this completely.
Had to sit next to three Trump Deranged women at coffee this morning. The ringleader is a semi-retired teacher and devoted ABC listener and watcher. The other two, also teachers now retired, were less dedicated lefties but still put it out that Trump was a ‘failed businessman’ and ‘thief’ who had now been caught out paying prostitutes which was a criminal offense in the US. Where to begin with correcting them about this total misinformation? Another woman and I expressed contrary views, but there is no wiggle room in the derangement, due to media saturation of leftist interpretations and complete abandonment of any attempt at fair reporting re Trump.
The ringleader was just about to get up and walk away, as lefties do when they are challenged in any way, requiring mollification to stay with a ‘change of topic’. They really cannot conceive that people could have legitimate opinions that differ to theirs. My Big Sis is exactly the same.

Insiders vs. Outsiders.
WHAT they each do is irrelevant.
It’s WHO they are, in terms of which gang they belong to.
As long as they abide by the gang’s rules, and contribute to the gang’s goals, Insiders may do whatever they like to Outsiders; they will be protected by the gang.
Trump is an Outsider (a threat to the gang’s existence), and is therefore a free target, so long as the Insider who victimises him, does so effectively and without undermining or damaging the gang itself.
It’s pretty simple.
View everything through the lens of street gangs.* It makes sense.
*It’s a framework, of course, and not intended literally.
Trump was convicted of being Trump. It’s that simple.
Would I be correct in assuming that NY is ablaze and strangers being beaten up by thugs wearing face masks as the right goes on a rampage after the verdict of the Trump trial?
Surely it must be so. The right is the threat to democracy and law and order, isn’t it? We have been told so by the MSM.
There will be sick minds desperately hoping for another George Floyd to utilise as a spark. Though not too soon, otherwise the tensions have to be stoked for too extended a period. It would be a pest if a state of emergency subsided prior to November.

If they cannot find another Floyd, they’ll have to create one.

Everyone needs to listen to this and retweet it.
Being a ‘felon’ in a system unfairly stacked against you is going to resonate more and more with black voters. One black commenter on Fox last night said most black Americans had ties to wider family members and the members of friends’ families who had relatives within the prison system.
They’ll all be for Trump now, he said, adding God bless Trump.
This is really interesting and strange stuff going on politically now.
Democrats should be very very afraid.
I also agree with Cassie on the old thread that the strain is telling on The Donald. How could it not? His face has drooped more and he looks very tired. He’s not a young man and the pressure must be horrendous, no matter how strong a character he shows he is.

Logic leaves ‘The Science’ of climate in the dust (Paywallian)
How dare he question Gaia’s holy wind farms and solar panels! Why if he goes any further he might start to question whether there’s a climate crisis at all.
Which there isn’t.
Carbon Dioxide and a Warming Climate are not problems (WUWT, 30 May)
Mr Gai Brotmann was always head and shoulders above anyone at the ALPBC. Interestingly Tom Switzer mentions Mark Colvin in his Weekend Paywallian column on the ALPBC. Giants when compared to the likes of La Tingle and Louise Nilligan.
Lots of great articles in the Weekend Oz today. Also by Paul Kelly, Greg Sheridan & Andrew Hastie.
I was watching a doco on Finland this morning. Even in that pristine wilderness — threatened by real imminent dangers like war with Putin’s Russia to the east — the windmills of 19th century human backwardness litter the landscape.

The hot tears you lot are crying are delicious, thanks!
I’d tell you to go pull yourself but of course you can’t do that can you dickless.
The rest is paywalled.
Hong Kong pro-democracy advocates “don’t matter”, apparently.

I don’t know about the fortune being spent. A far whack is in a trust presumably being wisely invested.
Who knows what other fees and moneys have come Brittany’s way the last few years.
They may be getting by on distributions.
At first it was reported that the French chateau/money pit was rented but apparently it was a cash sale.
Reynolds and legal fees are likely to take a fair slice out of what’s left.
Well, hold the phone, people – ALPBC nooze has just played an audio grab of Fatty Trump denouncing sludge merchan, and then stating he intends to fight on to save the US and the constitution, followed by a headline saying that illegitimate syphilitic ol’ geriatric hiden has approved ukraine using US weapons to strike targets in Russia.
The contrast could not have been more stark. We are clearly existing in the stupidest time in human history.
Quite so Rabz.
Regrettably, the now panicking NeoCon buffoons, who know no other way, than escalation, are virtually assuring:
-Ukraine will cease to exist, and
-a nuclear exchange between NATO and Russia.
This latest act of irresponsible idiocy by the NeoCons, will lead to Scholz providing Taurus missiles as well.
Whilst a complete cretin, he has thus far, refrained from this illogical deed.
Apart from the facts that, this will not assist Ukraine and will make Germany a target for Russia, he also understands that Germany will, (in all probability), get these missiles back, when, in the final moments of the Nazi regime in Kiev, they will be aimed at Berlin, out of spite, for not handing them over sooner.
Thanks Rufus – I’m still shocked the ALPBC actually purveyed the two stories above truthfully … 😕
So let’s have some Miss Maggie Dodgers 🙂
That you and your ideological inbred cousins cheer this on just shows how truly demented for power you people are.
It’s also very telling that support for Trump is growing ever more strong, showing us that, even though the world is infested with dross like you, there are enough people still in it with base common sense and an intuition as to what is right and what is wrong.
monty and “his lot” are like the Mensheviks; come the revolution they’ll be lined up against a wall by the Bolsheviks.
Yep. Abandon and abuse Rule of Law at your peril.
Indeed. Very much my way of thinking. Unlike today’s Germans Fascism was a popular movement at the time.
No doubt Monty is demonstrating his inability to go beyond first order thinking, let alone actually learning from history.
Indeed.
A lot of first order thinking on display since early 2020, not to mention ignorance of history.
Monty is the grotesque manifestation of all of it.

Thirty five wet Lorikeets and two Noisy Mynahs arrived as soon as I put out some crumbled damp seeded bread. The hubbub then drew in four wet Currawongs who took over the left end of the verandah rail for some meat. The poor things were really sodden, all of them.
We’ve been away for a week, but thankfully for them we arrived back last nite. Now it’s pelting down again and I expect they are all huddled in branches just putting up with it till morning. The Lorikeets ended up in pairs on the railing which is a bit undercover, chirruping and snuggling with each other after the meal, comforting their partners that all would be well now. No wonder they call them love birds.

I really don’t like watching things like this. (Yes, I read the warning; I’m a bit slow).
What a frenzy.
There really is no means of preventing an outrage like this, other than not having those type of savages present in your society.
(How, by the way, does allowing wholesale immigration to wealthier, freer countries assist the countries of origin to develop, other than stranding those without means in an even less viable environment as those with the means abandon it?).
That’s a rhetorical question, of course, because the encouragement of wholesale immigration to ‘the West’ (How many do you see wishing to move to Somalia?) has NOTHING AT ALL to do with improving the circumstances of those with means who can up-sticks. They are simply tools to achieve a deeper, destructive, morally repugnant agenda. (The anti-wholesale immigration movement needs to switch tactics from the immigrants themselves, to questioning the motives of those who enable these stealth invasions to occur).
Monty is an expert when it comes to prematurity.
I’ll wait until the legal system is exhausted.

There has been a scary increase in food production facilities exploding or burning down over the past year or so. And odd infrastructure collapses, train derailments, all sorts of things. And don’t forget the halving of the Strategic Oil Reserve when Joe sold a lot of it.
Let’s not forget the calibre of people who are in charge these days of important industries and infrastructure. If these people are like the politicians and media it’s a wonder there aren’t more “accidents”.
It might be scary to some but I suspect it’s a case of certain people who are committed to running around claiming the sky is falling now highlighting every incident. It doesn’t seem to be translating into widespread shortages of food. If it were it would be headlines. Prices are up afaik because the costs of imputs are up thanks to the climate carry-on.
He sold the Oil Reserve down to try to keep petrol prices down in the US as the election approaches. [Im]pure politics, straight up.

Apologies for the ego-stroking, but I’m not sure how many read the nested comments, so this is my response to KevinM’s 5:45 a.m. meme:
If I may paraphrase:
The only thing more dangerous than ignorance AND arrogance, is the ability and willingness to conceal them both.
Encouraging the flight from difficult countries used to be discouraged as I remember it when I was a child in the 60s. Western countries sent help there in the form of missionaries and the Peace Corp to teach people how to improve their lives and their countries.
Nowadays we incentivise them to come here by giving them freebies and all sorts of benefits just to artificially mask our own economic state. Who is the immoral actor here? Is it the oppressors and tyrants in the immigrants’ homelands or it our government?
If the UN were really interested in the third world it would work to bring democracy, peace and prosperity to African countries and distressed ones on other continents. It is completely immoral to justify doing nothing by saying you do not wish to interfere with their culture.
The same goes for our local do-gooders who do not wish to change the conditions in remote aboriginal communities in the name of respecting their culture. When are we going to admit that a culture that damages its people cannot be legitimate?
You really wonder about Army Officer selection when someone like Wilkie was even a contender.
You really wonder about Army Officer selection when someone like Wilkie was even a contender.
Military officers are often not the best and brightest. Giving people authority over others can bring out the worst and sometimes best in people.
Wilkie, I’m told, was an impeccably conservative young Liberal from Tamworth in his youth.

Thanks Indolent for the copy of Alex Soros tweet (9.02am). Remarkably stupid or desperate of him to broadcast his propaganda instructions like this because now anyone that repeats it can be tarred with the Soros brush.

Not sure on the usefulness of nested comments. I only pick them up from the recent comments if I refresh the front page. Will usually open “View replies” when scrolling back. If people are careful with quoting commenter, time and date I’m not sure how much they add.
They only work when the blog is quite small and one page.
I was very much in favor of them, but they have shown to be a disaster on a blog this size.
There would be fewer of them if one didn’t have to scroll back to the top in order to make an unnested comment. I mostly make nested comments now, because they come up immediately and so does the comment box. Probably my contributions are thus largely unread. Way it is. I can’t be bothered scrolling up to add more.
Wow Chris Uhlmann has really been hitting the red pills lately…
He’s been that way for a long time.
Is he still married to a Labor pollie?
From ADVANCE AUSTRALIA:
There are many wolves at our door right now.
Islamic terrorism, war in Ukraine, an increasingly hostile China, inflation and the cost-of-living crisis.
But here’s a question for you, one I’m often asked.
What’s the biggest domestic political threat to Australia’s freedom, security and prosperity?
Hands down, for me it’s the Greens.
When they first appeared out of nowhere in the 1980s, they were easy to dismiss as hippies and tree huggers.
But then they started winning elections.
First, a few senators. Now, more than 40 MPs across the country.
There have even been at least five Greens appointed ministers in Labor/Greens alliance governments.
That’s happened in both Tasmania and the ACT.
It’s only a matter of time before it happens federally.
The Greens are now a serious and effective political force.
Every election, they take a little more ground.
In 2021, Max Chandler-Mather – who is now the baby-faced Greens MP for the federal seat of Griffith – gave a speech to his fellow activists about his 18-year plan to win government1 (he’ll be in his late 40s if he pulls it off).
He spoke about how voters are becoming “disconnected from the traditional ways our Australian political system works”.
And how this is an opportunity for the Greens to win elections.
Chandler-Mather said the Greens are not just trying to win seats, but are devising a strategy that “can fundamentally transform the politics and the economy and society in this country”.
I think we should take him at his word.
They are coming for the most powerful positions in the country. They want a Greens Prime Minister.
Australians have to know that they can’t vote for Greens thinking that they will never be in a position of power.
You and I have to warn them – voting Greens is not a victimless crime.
And the victim is you.
If the Greens ever get their hands on the levers, here’s a taste of what they say would happen:
> Petrol and diesel cars banned by 2030.2
> You’d pay billions to overseas countries as compo for your “role in the climate crisis and the ongoing damage caused by imperialism”.3
> Implementation of an extremist gender agenda in our schools.4
> Private and independent schools would be defunded, driving up fees for both private and public schools.5
> They would tear down Australia’s borders by abolishing the Australian Border Force, ending boat turnbacks and allowing illegal immigrants to settle in Australia rather than sending them to offshore detention.6
The only reason they can get away with it is because too many Australians don’t know what they really stand for.
They’re right of course but the punters have a lot of sheep, useful idiots and grifters so the blame lies there as well.
I’ve long believed that the most dangerous enemy is the one/s within, because they look, sound, and act like us. They don’t seem different (on the outside), so our natural, primitive-brain anxiety towards the unfamiliar isn’t provoked.
Funny how so many Greens have double barrel names, very bourgeoise and snobbish.
The Greens are also a particularly nasty lot. There is no right to disagree with them. Any opponents are regarded as evil and/or self interested.
Hopefully Mr. Trump’s marketing team will design t-shirts with his face and the text ‘Convicted Felon.’
The ideal tactic here would be to own (and take advantage of) the label his enemies consider to be a coffin-nailer.
Ooh yeah. And they can also put on it “Courts Also Ruled I Was A Rapist”.
Bill Clinton’s activities never made it to court. The victims were often paid “hush money”.
Stfu you Marxist pile of shit.
You’ve presented enough evidence on these pages over the last couple of years to be put in protective custody for a long time.
Stay away from children!
Hear hear, Bushie.
That’s libellous M0nty. No Court ruled that.
Go and watch the German fascist court conviction of Sophie Scholl and her brother by mouth-frothing Judge Freisler. There’s your role model for everything you support.
The courts are now so degraded that your shitty little mouth spewing sentence is totally meaningless.
I think the better t-shirt would say what the Oz said in today’s headline: Man of Conviction. That would be turning the tables on those who convicted him.
“Since 1975, an average of 2,808 trains have derailed each year, with a peak of 9,400 derailments in 1978″
” In 2022, train derailments were down to 1,259″
I guess that’s a no for increasing train derailments.
https://usafacts.org/articles/are-train-derailments-becoming-more-common/
Is the inference of NY bringing these charges and Trump’s guilty verdict that politicians can use campaign money to pay hush money to prostitutes and that’s a legitimate campaign expense??
No, it’s that anything Republicans do is illegal, regardless of what the law actually says.
“Hush money” in this case was a blackmail payment.
Why isn’t Stormy up on extortion charges?
Anyone can (and do) pay hush money to prostitutes.
In this case, nobody claimed it was a campaign expense (because it wasn’t) except the prosecutor.
On the immigration ruling which allows crims to stay because “ties to Straya”.
Interesting to reflect on the evolution of this issue.
It all started with Saint Jacinda crying “snot fair” over Kiwis being shipped back over the dutch after serving time here for serious crimes.
Luigi was all in on the plan with Jacinda at the time.
Now?
Well, with Saint Jacinda gone and, with a conservative in the chair in New Zulland, the hand of co-operation and friendship is no longer being extended to our Antipodean cousins.
Luigi is now running with “Immigration policy will be determined in Straya’s national interests”.
Which is pretty much what Dutton was saying at the time the ill-fated policy was struck.
But he was a racist.
Yes excellent analysis Mr Panzer.
Jacinda mania certainly had a short half life. Less popular now than a SloMo autobiography and the 2nd drafts of history are less than flattering.
Yesterday a family member who watches the ABC started telling me about the awful waste of clothing that occurs in the west.
Stop right there I said. This is part of a narrative being pushed by the progressive left.
I don’t care if people buy cheap clothes and while I want people in the third world to have decent working conditions I don’t want them to starve because the clothing industry closes down.
People complaining about clothing being dumped in South America and Ghana should pay for it to be donated to the poor in Burundi, where many people are wearing rags.
It’s just another element of climate change emergency that isn’t an emergency when something more fashionable comes along.
Right Greta?
That’s an important consequence that is often (one suspects intentionally) overlooked. Again, the subjects are simply tools for the builder (demolitionist?) to achieve an end.
I wonder where the Palestinian scarves are made. Are they OK to buy seeing as we don’t really need them?
cohenite @10:36 am
Oh, Lordy Lordy yes, yes this is so.
As things are currently tracking, the Greens are only months away from the levers of government, with their clammy hands up the back of an historically pissweak minority Labor Coalition Government. With a functional majority in both houses.
Then we will really get to see what Year Zero is all about.
Stormy Daniels made money

Yet Trump gets done for a minor accounting beach.
As many pundits are saying certain Democrats should now be concerned that lawfare might be used against them. However in their case they might not have the deep pockets Trump has.
Yeah, except when she breached the NDA the court awarded damages and costs to Trump.
Which she hasn’t been able to pay.
Paying Trump a million Aussie on a stripper’s takings may not be easy to do.
On a happier note, Wally Dali has a great post up on the Archibald contestants.
Lots of gloom and doom here this morning. Yes, things are not good, but what we have over leftists is a sense of humour and of the absurd.
In the light of that, here is something for the non-Eeyores. Anyone who ever attended a riotous party, or perhaps a B &S ball, will enjoy Billy Connolly’s description of a party in Glasgow where the guests played out the Scottish version of a conga line – following a piper:

Meanwhile in Australia, Shorten receives tens of thousands in campaign donations undeclared. Donations from a business whose workers he was meant to be representing. Donations falsely put through the union books as being for a research worker when they were not union funds but in fact used to pay someone to work directly on Shorten’s campaign. No charges, and the left didn’t give a shit.
Then you had in Victoria public servants being put to work on Labor’s campaign. No charges, and the left didn’t give a shit.
The number one rule of the gang is that you don’t narc on a fellow gang member, even if you dislike that member personally, or they belong to a different clique. Unity ensures survival. All individuality must be sacrificed for the continued existence of the gang.
The alternative is: Break the gang’s number one rule and be green-lit (a public order for execution on-sight). Metaphors are being used here, of course.
Javier Milei pledges to start ‘returning’ taxes to Argentinians
We’re unfortunately dependent on the results of the efforts of this Latin American libertarian weirdo in his efforts to dismantle the administrative state.
That he succeeds is vital globally. I think he could blaze a trail for the rest to follow.
Pray it works and unlike with the 1980s privatisation push, that all the right bits get dismantled.
You’ll know he is doing something right at least if the Guardian and ABC start publishing hit pieces.
Since the military arm of the party in power in Ramallah committed an even worse attack on Israel than Pearl Harbor it is now within Israel’s moral and national right to do what the US did.
Unfortunately, Israel has fallen into the popular trap of reading the media interpretations .. What should have happened was straight in, hangings from lamposts and infrastructure devastation from Oct 8 .. Instead Israel had a slow start coupled with far too many “this is what will happen” media updates ..
As time has gone on they have taken more & more notice of outside criticism whilst Hamas has revelled in the anti Israel press & somehow seems to have enuf men & fire power to keep on going …..
If Israel doesn’t take the “gloves” off soon they’ll be in a “no-win” stalemate Allowing both Fatah & Hezbollah to feel bold enuf to join in ……!
One suspects the intelligence vacuum that existed immediately prior to the 7th of October – there was apparently a purge within Gaza, assisted by hezbollocks and the Lebanese internal security apparatus (trained by the U.S) – which likely contributed to the delayed response.
I think your dates are slightly out Muddy.
Once Ben Pfizer had disabled ALL human security along the southern border and replaced them, with a fully electronic system, which, unbelievably, he showed the workings of, on tv, to all Israeli’s and Hamas chaps who were interested, the scene was set.
Unsurprisingly, with all the technical info provided by Ben Pfizer, Hamas disabled the system quickly and attacked Israel.
One of the first targets on their agenda was an Army base, very near the border. It had some infantry and a few tanks/armoured vehicles etc, but the prize for Hamas, were the 40 or so female intelligence operatives that were stationed there.
These women were immediately removed and interrogated, which resulted in the neutralising, (from Hamas’ point of view), of virtually all agents working for Israel, in Gaza.
As soon as this was realised by the Army heads, IDF attack choppers were ordered to attack every vehicle near the border, in order to stop Hamas getting their hands on this extremely rich resource.
Unfortunately, Hamas already had these women “safely” over the border and the IDF killing hundreds of Israeli’s was to no avail.
It was only after Oct 7th, that the intel deficiency occurred M.
‘Trump is a Felon’ T shirts and sweatshirts, sold by the Trump campaign in majority black areas, will sell like hot cakes. Already, a prominent rapper has come out and said that him ‘payin’ off his ho’ has convinced him to vote for Trump.
I suspect that the Biden campaign is not thrilled by this episode. When even CNN’s legal correspondent is saying that it’s a travesty, and black rappers are cheering – whoops!
God bless The Law of Unintended Consequences.
So johanna, your thesis is that black Americans are all criminals and thugs, so they will love that their President is a crook.
Perhaps Trump really should go on a gun rampage on Fifth Avenue. The denizens of the Bronx would anoint him as their god! After all, game respect game.
No dickless, blacks have big dicks and can identify with Trump; something dickless lefties cannot comprehend.
And how racist of you dickless to state blacks are violent criminals.
Not necessarily mUnturd. Waaay back when he was a mere senator, Creepy Joe pushed through a law that put many blacks in jail for minor offences (predominantly victimless crimes).

Knife Attacker At Anti-Islamization Rally Identified As 25-Year-Old Afghan Migrant. (thenationalpulse.com)
The National Pulse has previously reported that migrants in Germany have been the source of a wave of violent crime. Recent data disclosed by Germany‘s Federal Criminal Police Office (BKA) revealed that foreign migrants, who account for just 14.6 percent of the country’s population, were implicated in 58.5 percent of all violent crimes in the country.Meanwhile, the German Interior Ministry has confirmed that the number of foreign criminal suspects surged to approximately 923,000 in 2023, a rise of almost a fifth year over year.
Simple, deport them all and cut the national crime in half.

Doesn’t exactly sound like a modest wedding, which suggests a certain entitled mentality might be affecting these two social climbers.
I hope Reynolds takes them to the woodshed for a little lesson.
$30k for a dress and a decent food and beverage package is how you put stuff beyond creditors. No worries about any tracing orders there.
Knickerless has big knockers. Remove your knickers to improve your knockers?

Just looking at Trump’s NDA with the slut again:
Stormy Daniels is suing Trump, claiming the “hush agreement” is void – Vox
Trump did not sign it, only Cohen and stormy both with pseudonyms. The payment to stormy occurred before Trump became POTUS but was cleared by the Federal Elections Commission, FEC, in 2021. Merchan would not allow the FEC official Brad Smith called by Trump to testify to this point. The payment to cohen occurred after Trump became POTUS so it can’t be electoral interference. The 34 charges against Trump all refer to the payment to cohen which occurs 34 times in the ledgers. Since cohen paid stormy out of his own pocket and then billed Trump for this how can there be an offence in there. We know cohen lied about alleged meetings and phone calls he had with Trump about the stormy payment so I reckon Trump knew nothing about it.
She’ll have to also overturn the 9th Circuit court adjudication in Trump’s favour, to whit: one million Aussie so far.
Keep digging lady, you just may get to China at the rate you are going.
There were 34 offences, which have been charged, tried and convicted.
Oh but wait, some random dude in Australia thinks it’s all bulldust! “I move for a bad court thingy!!”
You utter clown.
None of this matters, NY judicial crowd decided to convict Trump and they did which is a judgement on them, every single person involved in this charade.
In the stabbing attack in Mannheim, the cops arrived and grabbed the wrong bloke. It’s the guy with the beard, fellows. Whoda thought. The cop got stabbed in the neck for his mistake. It’s in their book (45.4)

Too stupid to live.
No, they just have no idea. Let me hark back to the Sheikh at Martin Place. The guys who knew all about them (experienced in Afghanistan) were stopped from being involved. The cops have no idea.

Cecil Woodham Smiths book “The Reason Why” about the Charge of the Light Brigade, notes that the cavalry, sent to the Crimea in 1854 were “completely ignorant of the art of war, had no experience, no education and no ability. (Page 135.)
Doesn’t sound as though much has changed, in anybodies army.
That is a bit harsh ZKTA.
Under General Camp-Belle, the Australian Defence Forces are much better educated in LGBTIQRFDWESCB matters, as well as how racist we all are now, than was the case in years past.
If you’ve read that book, you will know that the British Cavalry Commander was Lord Lucan.
He was one of the most dim witted, useless commanders, to ever direct troops in the British Empire.*
Incredibly, the Light Brigade commander, the infamous Lord Cardigan, led the Brigade well during the charge.
His behaviour after reaching the guns is somewhat questionable though.
Lucan married Cardigan’s sister and in 1854 they were getting divorced.
As a result, the Cavalry Commander and Light Bde commander, were not on speaking terms. (You can’t make this sh#t up).
The Army commander was Fitzroy Somerset-Lord Raglan, who’s only positive it seems, was that, he was Wellington’s adjutant at Waterloo and lost an arm there. At Balaklava he was 66 years old, dumb as a box of hammers and couldn’t make a decision to safe himself.
The actual order he gave to the Light Brigade, is well worth reading, its on the net. You don’t even need military experience to realise, just how stupid the order was.
*The playoffs for worst commander must include:
-Lucan and Raglan, (obviously),
-General Elphinstone – The retreat from Kabul 1842, (lost an entire army),
-Major General Aylmer Hunter-Weston – 2nd Battle of Krithia 1915, his specialty was the frontal assault in broad daylight against entrenched MG’s,
-General Percival – Singapore 1942. Surrendered to the Japs, even though he outnumbered them and he also failed to build defences, because he didn’t want to alarm the populace. (Mum’s brother was in the 2/19th, so he particularly annoys me.)
TheirABC keeps promoting 1970s (the last time, but there are numerous failed antecedents) lifestyles as a solution to the housing problem.
No amount of previous failures seems to deter the proponents of hope over experience:

Photographer Aishah Kenton looks at three households embracing communal living to see if Australians can adapt their way of life as housing becomes ever more unaffordable.
TheirABC has no problem at all with the proles having to ‘adapt their way of life’ – something I doubt that their well-paid employees will have to do.
No matter how many times their socialist town planning projects fail, and fail miserably, they keep regurgitating the same crap.
Much to their disgust, punters prefer (shock! horror!) a piece of land and a house to call their own.
I know, right. People in LA or London with huge houses and massive carbon footprints concur. The proles need to lower their expectations.
They can go and … insert suggestion here.
The ABC can fuk right off.
Military officers are often not the best and brightest. Giving people authority over others can bring out the worst and sometimes best in people.

Multiple strokes of political idiocy from mUnturd this morning.
First, mUnturd reminded us that there remain multiple allegations of rape against Bill Clinton, and at least one of sexual assault against Creepy Joe. He did this by suggesting that Trump had been found guilty of rape. Not so, the (highly dubious) allegation was beaten, and a weak-kneed claim of sexual assault replaced it.
Then he reminded us that the then Senator Biden pushed a law that had the effect of putting large numbers of blacks in jail.
Then we were reminded that “Judge” Merchan has a court room style that Roland Freisler might have admired. We have still to see how Beria might have admired his sentencing style.

Daily Mail. Sorry bout that!
the cavalry, sent to the Crimea in 1854 were “completely ignorant of the art of war, had no experience, no education and no ability.
Then again, the Light Brigade held together all the way to the Russian guns, attacked the gunners, cut their way out, and made their way albeit shattered back to the British lines.
While Cardigan and several other senior commanders were clowns, the troopers were sound enough.
The charge at Beersheba still gives me goosebumps when I see depictions of it and read the individual details.
Some have said that the horses were pretty short on water, and could smell the water source in the town. Either way, it is heat-in-the-mouth stuff and makes this weak woman cry.
There is some reason to believe that I have an ancestor who was part of that regiment. A horse I had years ago (when I was in my late teens) once bolted on me, which was quite unusual for him. I recall having the weirdest feeling of deja vu. Stupid, I know.
No Vicki
Not stupid.
We spend most of our life in the country, so maybe we notice social urban change more than most. But we are incredulous at what seems like a quite sudden suburban development around our Sydney home viz the complete saturation of available street suburban parking.
Who drives all these vehicles? At first we thought it was commuters, leaving their vehicles to take the short trip into the city centre. But n0 – because these vehicles are still there on weekends. We speculate it must be the (now) teenage children who can’t afford to leave their nest.
BTW it is not just our suburb – as friends in neighbouring areas testify to the same development. And it is a reasonably recent development ie in the last 4 years or so.
Anything to do with a post Covid effect? Working from home….????
It’s grown up kids with jobs, still living at home I’d say. As young Sydney families move into our street, the once spacious grassy kerbs are now full of cars, trees cut down to make space. 4 cars parked in front of a house is common.
The young folk opposite seem to be nurses, so it’s like a parking station over there, as each drive out for a shift. I’m sympathetic to all this, not complain. If this is how youngsters have to live now, good luck to them. They don’t give us any problems.
Share housing?
Wrong. Stormy was a hostess at one of Trumps casinos, and used the opportunity to ply her trade and also blackmail her clients, which was not good for Trumps business, so he fired her.
The payment and NDA was “go away” money, paid by just about every business I am aware of when a termination is contested.
Trump has denied any type of sexual contact or intercourse has taken place, and there is a document circulating on the web purportedly from Stormy agreeing that there was no sex.
Gee whiz, this a fast track.

I watched a doco on that during the week. Perhaps there was confusion about what was to be charged but it seems the commander didn’t have a clue and orders were followed in spite of the obvious devastation that awaited them. They should have gone after the guns on one of the hills, not those at the end of the valley. It was a slaughter.

“Perhaps there was confusion about what was to be charged”
The staff officer who carried the order to Lord Lucan, Louis Nolan, came from Raglan, and spoke with Raglans full authority. He clearly pointed to the wrong objective and declared “There, my Lord is your enemy. There are your guns!”

I think that means redistribution of our wealth, land, power and responsibility.

I linked for him an opinion from two law professors and two other senior lawyers, who all said the charges and the conviction are both unconstitutional and invalid in law.

He hasn’t, because the verdict was Not Guilty of rape, but guilty of sexual assault.
Note that Creepy Joe still has an outstanding claim of rape/sexual assault against him. Perhaps he can be put on trial after he leaves office?

I happen to believe the Trump conviction is on a par with the shots fired at Fort Sumter. Whilst the likes of our own low IQ Hamas bumboy and his fellow comrades on the left are cheering the Trump conviction, I don’t doubt that they will one day reap the ferocious whirlwind from this political travesty.
Oh and further to ‘rape’ and Trump, I reckon there’s more evidence of a rape at a Young Labor camp in 1988 than any rape committed by Donald Trump. Which begs the question, why can’t that woman have her day in court?
If only Tits was in the Liberal party, or a Christian cleric.
I think the Dimocrat hangover is starting to kick in.

Two things are starting to dawn on them.
Firstly, they thought they could just beat the adultery drum and the stupid red-necks in the Bible Belt would drop him like a hot spud. Didn’t happen.
Secondly, and following on from the inability to cruel Donald in the polls, there is rising panic among Dimocrats of Orange Man Vengeance.

Trump has reportedly closed the funding gap with Joe Biden’s campaign since his conviction, raising $53m with a third of the donors being new to his campaign.
…and apparently crashing the donation site with the volume of calls. That says a lot – it’s not the volume of money – it’s the volume of people who are pissed off enough to throw money at a good cause.
That fact alone should be getting the Democrats working their worry beads.
Yes, I suspect a lot of smaller donors who will be repeat donors, as opposed to Biden’s fewer, large donors who will be monitoring his performance carefully before they open their check books again.

Where Do We Go From Here? | Power Line (John Hinderaker, 31 May)
I should reread Colonel Kurt Schlichter’s Kelly Turnbull novels, this time as a manual, not a warning.
In those days the rich basically bought command of a Regiment and became its Colonel.
The most experienced officers in the Crimean campaign were those who had served in India where had plenty of action. Naturally they were ignored and looked down upon by the ones whose experience was based on buying their way up through different Regiments.
Reason Why is a great book.
“cavalry, sent to the Crimea in 1854 were “completely ignorant of the art of war, had no experience, no education and no ability. (Page 135.)”
The lesson here relates to the NCO class who continue to be the backbone in just about every modern army.
An army can survive a certain level of incompetent officers – it cannot survive incompetent NCOs.
In modern times I guess it would be like Kerry Stokes buying command of 1st Armoured. That would be because could not outbid Gina for command of the SAS. Clive would naturally get 6 RAR and the Atlassian billionaires the Sydney battalions.
Not a bad comparison!
At least the SAS would be resourced even better and Gina might put a bit of extra mongrel in them!
And would be funny if every time some leftist piece of crap tried to put sh!t on her, they disappeared.

the Light Brigade held together all the way to the Russian guns, attacked the gunners, cut their way out, and made their way albeit shattered back to the British lines.
Yes, the crazy charge was a result of misinterpreting an order, and the fact that they succeeded to a degree is amazing and flies in the face of so many jump-start interpretations that would indicate failure. Australian cavalry had its charge, a story of success, at Beersheba, in WW1.
The Australians who charged at Beersheba carried rifles and bayonets. They were mounted infantry, not cavalry.
Some of the Light Horse were issued swords in 1918, well after Beersheba.
Coroners inquests are descending into mystical Woo in WA.
https://www.coronerscourt.wa.gov.au/I/inquest_into_the_suspected_death_of_tristan_frank.aspx
At the time of the inquest, it was the opinion of the investigating police and Tristan’s next of kin that Tristan was deceased, although his remains had not been recovered. The WA Police believe the evidence supports the conclusion Tristan wandered off from the townsite and likely became lost and disoriented in the harsh conditions and died in the days after 3 December 2020. Specialist opinion from a survival expert suggested he was probably deceased before the official search for Tristan even commenced. Tristan’s family had been consulted by police on many occasions, and they have maintained a firm position that they do not believe voluntarily left the townsite, but rather believe he was taken by ‘Featherfoot men’ who are capable of making themselves and Tristan invisible and have concealed him from discovery somewhere in the lands outside the Balgo Community. Some of Tristan’s family members can still feel Tristan’s spirit, although they have been able to find his physical remains. Either way, all parties appear to be sure that Tristan is no longer alive, and neither the police nor Tristan’s family believe any person was responsible for Tristan’s death, in the sense that person might be able to be arrested and prosecuted under Western Australian law.
Climate change, of course. Featherfoot men are Gaia’s footsoldiers.
“Behave, or the Kadaitcha Man will get you.”

Coppers, in certain West Australian towns, used to round up the delinquent Indigenous, take them out of town on moonless nights, tell them they would have to walk home “Oh, and look out for Featherfoot.He’ll sneak up behind you and smash your skull in , with his stone club.”
I and many millions of people certainly hope that they get what’s coming to them. The Democrats need a really good bloody nose or they will not give up on the thuggery that they find so irresistible.
Start with the allegations against Bill Clinton and Creepy Joe.
At least one of Clinton’s victims appeared regularly with Trump in 2016, and Biden’s victim has made public statements.
Do unto them as they have done to Trump.
Bill Clinton is old news. Hillary’s crimes involving classified material however (as with Biden’s) are definitely germane as long as they are inventing a case against Trump for the same.
Then go after the bastards in the DoJ and the various arms of the election system who have so baldly weaponized the systems. Outside of DC it is painfully obvious to all what has happened. Inside DC they (most of the left and even some of the right elites) are up to their neck in it and the classic “anything it takes” mentality is allowed to overrun morality, honour, and integrity,
Nothing would please the average American more than to see the Dems held to the same standards they try to use against others. Fair play is still a basic moral principle to most of citizenry.
If the folks who run all this can get away with the Epstein stuff, the Clintons (and many surrounding deaths), the Obamas, even back to Teddy Kennedy leaving a dead woman in a car in a river all night and numerous other acts of complete bastardry, why wouldn’t they feel immune to the world’s problems?
I suspect, this too will go away and have lots of doubters and conspiracy theories, but will go away.
The people running the USA, don’t give up easily and the Trump stuff, is an intended distraction, a misdirection of you will.
People will focus here and something happens there.
Billie:
Mary Jo was alive and trapped in the car, while Kennedy went for a shower and talked to his lawyer. She didn’t drown, but instead died from asphyxiation when the air in the bubble at the back of the Oldsmobile? she was trapped in, gave out.
She could have been rescued at any time up until then.

There’s a simple explanation for why Trump is hated by so many lefties and particularlyacademics. He’s an alpha male. They are all epsilon males. He makes them feel inferior. That’s because they are inferior.
It’s always fascinated me that Trump Derangement is driven by lefties’ reaction to his alpha-male personality, not the ideas he stands for and that people vote for.
Make America Great Again is all about American exceptionalism and the free market.
Lefties hate it because, being fascists at heart, they hate freedom.
Noooo, they don’t especially hate or fear Trump.
They are shit-scared of his 80 million supporters.
Them is what they hate and fear.
The Donald gets a mention in American Psycho.
Yeah…nah.
Lefties love a political strongman.
It’s Trump’s policies they hate, particularly MAGA & immigration.
And his ability to go around the media gatekeepers & motivate the deplorables, whom they detest/fear.
Trump is the anti-politician. He is a ultra-successful businessman who answered the call when he felt the country needed him.
The political elites and embedded bureaucracies of both parties are scared shitless of him because he is a wrecking ball who can and hopefully will destroy their little empires.
Which is why both sides made his first term a constant uphill fight to accomplish anything, why the Reps have remained mostly silent about the 2020 election fraud issues, the 6 Jan political prisoner atrocity, as well as the travesty of the lawfare against Trump (until it was too late to matter).

THE DAILY CHART from Powerline: WHAT TERRIFIES DEMOCRATS ABOUT THE ELECTION
There’s a couple of scary charts there for the Dems.
The Democrats’ 2024 election strategy — jail Trump and use the media to fuel hatred of him — works only if the Dems just need cheating in a handful of swing states to retain power as in 2020.
They have no strategy if, having observed Obama’s third term in action, the normies vote for Trump in a landslide because they’re pissed off with what is happening to their country.
That would require a level of cheating even the Dems brains trust can’t organise.
The Dems losing the young vote has a direct effect on their ability to cheat as well because they require an army of enthusiastic, energized, otherwise underemployed useful idiots to ballot harvest, etc.
The young are also much more likely to raise hell in a physical matter if they observe the left cheating against them. The left aren’t the only ones who can organize a flash mob of protestors outside a vote counting site for instance.
“The Reason Why” relates the experience in the Peninsular, with a young officer of Hussars, who joined his regiment with a stud of blood horses, three grooms, and two carriages, one of which carried his plate and linen. On being ordered to outpost duty, and required to leave his comforts behind, he remarked that campaigning was not for gentlemen, and went home. (Page 153.)
Reminds me of The Forge by Drake and Stirling. Closely based on the campaigns of Belisarius. I haven’t read the original history yet, but if as I suspect they are as per the novel the gentleman of the Hussars had like-minded officers 1,300 years before.
What is the truth about the Trump hush money case?
Can someone tell me in a couple of bullet points what the damning evidence was?
Here is what I found so far.
At USA Today :
There a list of cheque stubs and general ledger entries that support the fact the payments were made (at least to Cohen).
So what’s the crime exactly? By way of Politifact:
So they have to show this was coverup for another (2nd) crime. But Politifact goes on to say:
Surely if paying hush money was itself a crime then the prosecutor and all the articles about this case would say so. So the hush money doesn’t count.
The payment to Stormy was made – legally. The concealing of the Stormy payment via Cohen was not covering a 2nd crime, so there should not have been a felony conviction for doing so. Is that basically it?
If m0nty is around perhaps he’d like to chime in with more evidence or argument on this point.
Please let the sleeping cur lie. It’s his effete superpower.
Vicki, this is more interesting than you may at first believe.

From The Oz…
University of Queensland comes to agreement with protesters, encampments to be discontinued
Encampments at the University of Queensland are to be discontinued after the institution reached an agreement with UQ Muslim Students for Palestine on Saturday.
In a statement, the university outlined its commitments and has agreed to publish a statement on its approach to sensitive research and, where possible, a list of its holdings and research in agreed areas as part of UQ’s annual disclosures.
It will also host a dedicated speaker series which will “inform the development of a university-wide Anti-racism Commitment”.
In addition, UQ will double its refugee and humanitarian scholarships, focusing on students from Gaza. Support will be increased for academics impacted by humanitarian crises through the global Scholars at Risk network membership.
So, as with the University of Sydney, UQ has succumbed to Muslim and far-left threats, intimidation and bullying. More and more universities are succumbing to Jew hatred and will divest itself of associations with Jews.
This will not end well. Anyone else reminded of the 1930s? I am. So, I have posted a comment, just one word….

My comment remains in moderation. I thought it was pretty clever and succinct but evidently the Oz moderators don’t like the truth.
I’ve had comments posted on the Oz – they gain several reactions, then are rejected.
Soft-left university administrators are cowards.
Who’d have thought?
In 2024, universities have become highways of anti-democratic fascism — very fashionable among Australia’s anti-democratic fascist ruling class led by Elbow’s radical national government.
‘Universities’ are just marxist cesspits and need to be shunned. Time to bring back Institutes of Technology without Journalism courses. Time to move towards to on line and on the job training. The post Murray Report expansion of hiya ejuchasun has been a disaster. Look at Flinders ‘University’ which gave us Redgum. Just one example.
Redgum was formed in 1975 when three students at Flinders University, John Schumann, Michael Atkinson and Verity Truman collaborated for a musical assessment piece for their Politics and Art course.[2] The trio quickly gained fame around the university community for their forthright songs, and by 1976 had been joined by violinist Chris Timms who had previously attended Flinders University.[2] The group were soon in demand for parties, pubs and rallies throughout South Australia and Victoria. On the first album, If You Don’t Fight You Lose (1978) Redgum showed it was one of the few Australian bands prepared to tackle domestic politics and culture. “One More Boring Night in Adelaide” for some will remain, despite some of its dated references, a classic analysis of Australian provincial parochialism. Initially a part-time band, performing weekends and school holidays (two members were teachers), it was only after they released their second album, Virgin Ground (late 1980), to strong sales and critical acclaim, that the group became full-time and started touring nationally.[2]
