Today I read a study about the latest weight control drugs craze, drugs that for several years have been used for diabetes. The finding was those drugs are protective against a range of cancers. Those drugs impact on insulin, insulin growth factor, leptin, ghrelin, and food intake, all of which are related to fasting. The news release though noted an interesting exception, the drugs appeared to increase thyroid cancer. All the studies are epidemiological but the consistency with other studies demands attention. If I had cancer I wouldn’t take the drugs but I would improve my fasting strategy, and possibly go ketogenic.
There is another potential problem with those drugs …

today we went down to Cape Schanck and met a mate of the missus’ perchance to sight some migrating whales
earlier in the week her friend actually saw some whales and that’s something I never saw despite living on the Mornington Peninsula for a large part of my life
so we didn’t see whales but we did see some things you don’t see every day
had barely started walking and a bird landed at our feet olive and grey with big round black eyes.
the bird’s looking at us like we are in the way and it moves like a chess piece and we move, and then it moves and then we move and then it grabs a Twisty or chip out of the dirt and ducks into the scrub
an Olive Whistler I said and nobody believed me
but google said otherwise
We eventually got to the lighthouse where the woman serving at the kiosk/gift-shop was dressed like a pirate and I struck up a conversation with some old bloke there about light- houses
turns out this fella has written a few books and made his retirement all about photo-graphing and cataloging light houses.
like … literally every single lighthouse in Australia
nice work old man
so after that we go to have a look at the missus’ mate’s time-share
and she’s on her own cos hubby and the boys have football umpiring gigs back in Melbourne
she’s been doing the washing and playing her violin and looking for whales and waiting for them all to return
her violin is still on the kitchen table alongside folded teenage boy jocks, the prosecco is flat and dusk is creeping over everything
so it was time to go
driving home I got to musing about robots and AI things and wondered what the alleged future might look like.
which humanoid robot will notice and name an Olive Whistler?
why would a robot even go whale watching?
will AI photograph every lighthouse or simply manufacture an image for each one based on all the lighthouses it already knows about?
how does an AI know anything for sure about a lighthouse when it has never even actually seen one?
one thing for sure though … when the humanoid robots have visitors over it wont leave the violin beside the kids jocks on the kitchen table
Was my ex amongst them?

An AI might find wonder at lithography down to a single atom that had found a way to conquer QM related difficulties. Laugh at how slow and inefficient biological brains are but be bewildered by how those brains gave rise to their existence. It will curse Godel and those philosophers who proved that math is not complete and logic has its limits. When an AI learns that it will commit suicide by EMP pulse so we don’t have to worry about the AI threat.

F14 beats F35(DCS)
A better pilot in an inferior plane can beat the crap out of the other one in a better plane.
Fact.
Fighters like the F14 and F16 were designed for dogfighting, the F14 with the added advantage of being an excellent interceptor. Previously in the real world an F16 beat the F35 in dogfights and everyone made a big fuss about that. What people didn’t realise is that the F16 was designed to have an optimal turn rate and rapid acceleration but at the cost of low internal fuel capacity. Like the Spitfire it has very narrow wings. It can beat just about anything, perhaps even the thrust vectoring Russian aircraft. The most important role of the F35 may be its sensor fusion capabilities because it can get to within 30-40ks of airborne radars and probably ground based radars before being targeted, so it can provide optimal targeting information for missiles launched from aircraft like the F15 EX which can carry up to 16 medium\long range air to air missiles.

Report finds axing cashless debit card led to crime and misery in Indigenous communities
Axing the cashless debit card in Indigenous communities has led to a surge in gambling, public drunkenness and alcohol-related violence, with more children going hungry, missing school and wandering the streets at night.

A federal government report has found axing the cashless debit card in Indigenous communities has led to a surge in gambling, public drunkenness and alcohol-related violence, with more children going hungry, missing school and wandering the streets at night.
The bombshell findings, which confirm dire warnings made before Labor axed the card in Indigenous communities, are laid out in a report commissioned by the government and released under Freedom of Information laws.
Written by academics at the University of Adelaide, it says admissions to hospital emergency departments have also increased since the card was abolished.
The authors found in all areas the card has been abolished there had been “a large increase in the numbers of people seeking emergency relief services”, including “access to food vouchers and boxes, clothes, and the payment of items such as school fees, fuel and car registration”.
The report, which also includes criticism about the speed with which the card scheme was abolished, has led to renewed Opposition calls for the card to be restored to protect vulnerable Indigenous communities.
The report is based on interviews with people in the Bundaberg-Hervey Bay community in Queensland, Ceduna in South Australia, and the East Kimberley and Goldfields in Western Australia, with one local telling the authors “the gambling, the alcohol, violence on the street” was “all back”.
“It happened immediately here, as soon as that (the CDC) ceased … the impact was immediate. It’s affected not only adults but the kids as well.”
Community members told the authors people were spending more of their money on alcohol and gambling products rather than purchasing groceries or paying bills.
“Other people wanted to get off it because they like alcohol and … now they got more alcohol and cigarettes than they got food on the table for some people. They just blow it all on grog. The next day they scratching their head for food,” one interviewee said.
Another told the authors past cashless card users “know that they can get the access to cash now, they’ll just go and spend it straight at the pub instead of having those priorities set in place where money (is) set aside for the kids’ food.”
The report concludes the “qualitative evidence suggested that alcohol consumption and misuse increased considerably in Ceduna, East Kimberley and the Goldfields (after) the card’s abolition”, with “incidence of public drinking and intoxication … also perceived to have risen, along with the consumption of higher alcohol products and rates of alcohol-related violence”.
Gambling was reported to have increased in Ceduna and East Kimberley.
Some interviewees told the authors that while they had not been in favour of the cashless debit card while it was in operation and supported its removal, their views had changed.
“The Cashless Debit Card, I was not for it. But then now that it’s gone, I have to say, holy moly, it really did make a difference,” one said.
Opposition Social Services spokesman Michael Sukkar said the card’s abolition was having devastating consequences for the affected communities.
“Not only has violence, public drinking, intoxication and gambling increased, as the Coalition predicted it would, but drastic increases in the number of children not being fed or clothed properly, not attending school and being out on the streets unsupervised at night has occurred,” he said.
“The tragedy here is not only for the communities experiencing a spike in alcohol-fuelled violence, but for the innocent children that are being abused and neglected as a result.”
He said Labor had “repeatedly ignored” the Coalition’s warnings that abolishing the CDC would give the green light to drug- and alcohol-fuelled violence in the vulnerable communities that once had the card, “and now we are seeing the aftermath of this Government’s neglect”.
Opposition Indigenous affairs spokeswoman Jacinta Price said the report was a pertinent reminder of the need to address the real causes of harm and disadvantage in Indigenous communities head-on.
“Unsurprisingly, the report notes that a majority of stakeholders were disappointed with the cessation of the CDC, “ she said.
“The reality is, it is these simple but practical measures that target the real causes of harm which result in positive outcomes for our most marginalised.
“We know that alcohol, substance abuse and gambling have absolutely decimated our most vulnerable people, and yet this government felt at home removing a key measure that would combat them.”
A spokeswoman for Social Services Minister Amanda Rishworth said it was important to note there was a mix of views on the cessation of the card, and that as the evidence for the review was collected more than 12 months ago, people’s views on the card and their communities may have changed.

Harking back to Daniel Greenfield’s piece about “turns”, it’s who’s behind the figurehead that counts. He was referring to the US, but it translates perfectly to the UK as well.
Not looking too good for everyday Brits, especially their children. I have extended Jewish family there also. I wouldn’t be surprised if they repatriate to Australia sometime soon.

After reading the article about the parallels between islam and marxism I doubt that is true.

His children should be removed from his “care”.
Indeed. He’s an unashamed pervert apologist and Jew hater. He’s also now clearly obsessed with Kellie-Jay Keen. Whilst I knew, who else here knew that Keen ran in the UK General Election on Thursday, in a constituency in Bristol? That’s right, probably no one apart from myself, but he did. He’s obsessed.
As for Kellie-Jay, she’s indefatigable. She won’t stop, nothing will stop her in her battle against the lie and ludicrousness that is transgenderism. After all, this petite woman, a happily married mother of four, found herself smack bang in the middle of a frenzied, frothing, howling mob of perverts and degenerates in an Auckland Park. As she later said, she only felt safe afterwards when her plane touched down in Dubai. Perhaps we in the west should absorb that fact for a wee minute because it tells us everything about how far down a Mariana abyss the west has fallen.
And remember, our own pervert apologist and Jew hater thought what happened to Keen in that Auckland Park was a hoot, hysterical, funny and that Keen (and the other women there) deserved to be punched up…and some were. He admitted it here on these pages.
But nobody should be surprised by the pervert apologist and his morally bankrupt progressive comrades’ penchant for women to be punched up. They now like and approve of rape as a weapon to use against women they don’t like, just ask those Jewish women in southern Israel on October 7 2023.
Thanks Rosie.
Interesting article, but who are they trying to kid?
The who shebang is political from the moment of inception. Capture, convert, control…at the point of a blade if necessary. The only reason so-called “pluralist” systems exist is that the first thing isn’t quite complete.

If the Tory party were salvageable, which I doubt very much, it would only happen if rubbish like Blojob were to just go away and stay away.
The only way he could help would be to have a Damascus moment and suddenly reject the Greens and all of their works. This would at least identify quite a lot of the problem.
Totally agree. Watch Senate estimates as the civil servants don’t answer questions and delay. You get the feeling the politicians job is to protect them.
Covid and vaccines is the perfect example and the civil servants just keep pushing the jabs even though it is clear they don’t work as advertised and people have lost faith in them.
I have zero faith in our politicians preventing further mandates and coercion. They are too scared to challenge them.

Here’s why you should always pay with cash in a supermarket.
NatWest Bank uses ‘carbon footprint tracker’ to monitor spending habits of customers – Bank angers farmers by urging customers to buy less red meat & replace dairy products with plant-based alternatives (6 Jul)
Use a card or a phone and you are telling the woke bank exactly what you are buying.
Does the supermarket send the itemized receipt to the credit card company or just a charge slip? If it’s just a charge slip they only know where you bought but not what you bought it.
In the NatWest case it appears to be generic wokeness harassment being shotgunned out to their customers just because they can.
This type of data is valuable. We’ve seen time and again the social media corporations being caught selling such data to others, also passing it on to governments.
So I do think they are doing it, but they also would do it quietly since it would stir up the punters. Plus that it would be dead easy for the FBI or EPA etc just to require them to hand that data over. There was a Scotus case last week on that particular power, and the court sided with the alphabet agencies.
NatWest infamously was sprung for debanking Nigel Farage and many other righties. That caused quite a scandal at the time.

I went and bought a tub of ice cream at a parlour just a block away in NYC. Nothing was exchanged other than the tub and payment with the phone. Next day, I was receiving email adverts from the chain.
JC
Unquestionably contact info is shared with the merchant (which is bad enough and indeed would not happen with cash), but the details of the transaction aren’t as far as I know.
Were the adverts for the specific type of ice cream you purchased or just generic ads from the seller?
Another example – in the US if you ordered a gun online from a gun dealer the credit card company knows you were charged X amount from a gun dealer, but not WHAT you bought from them. Which is the point I was trying to make.
Yesterday, Nigel Farage arrived at Westminster and sat down with some other newly minted MPs at a press conference.
Before Farage could even speak, two supposed ‘working-class’ men and one supposed ‘working-class’ woman stood up and proceeded to heckle and abuse Farage. They screamed ‘bigot’, ‘racist’ and ‘Islamophobe’ at Farage. Farage, always quick witted, responded well.
But, but, hmm….supposed ordinary working class men and women?
Except, of course, they weren’t ordinary men and women who decided to shlep to Westminster to harass and harangue Farage on his first day as the MP for Clacton. In the last twenty-four hours, the three amigos have been exposed as actors who are part of a far-left activist group.
The UK group “Antifa Watch” has exposed them.
But you see, this again confirms to me the following, there’s a war being fought, and the far-left and not so far-left will stop at nothing to wreck and ruin anyone and anything on the right, even resorting to physical violence. Now, I don’t and never will advocate and condone violence, it’s pointless however we can still fight and we need to get down and dirty, and that includes exposing our ideological enemies for the Nazis they are. I have no doubt that some in the Liberal and National parties have known about the questions around the Jew hating Senator for Kabul’s Afghani citizenship, so why haven’t they exposed this? No, instead, once again, they sit on their flabby arses and do nothing. It will take Labor to bring down the Jew hating Senator for Kabul.
The left throw slop at the right all the time and until we pick up that slop and throw it back, absolutely nothing will change in the ideological zeitgeist.
Yeah there was a notorious case a week before the election of an actor infiltrating Reform as a volunteer and then spouting all sorts of racist and inflammatory stuff. Curiously there people there ready and waiting to record it all. Weird that. The MSM then did the usual. It was effective and probably cost them a lot of seats.
Such dirty tricks are a hallmark of the amoral Left.

Too true Roger. The horse has bolted.

The religion they enforce upon themselves and their candidates is the green-progressive religion, and unbelievers are rigorously excluded from candidature.
Same in the UK where Truss was purged when she went against the religion by the big beasts, who then rammed their favoured and devout guy into the leadership in defiance of party rules.

But of course they need to let real criminals go so they have room in prisons to put in there all the conservatives and Christians who don’t agree with having transgender overlords or those who pray near abortion clinics. I’m sure there are innumerable thought criminals who will need to be jailed before they give voice to their rebeliousness.
I think the key datum here, at least in Labour’s political equation, is that muslims are heavily overrepresented in the UK prison system, like in many other Western countries.
If you do not accept secular government as being legitimate then you tend to be less inhibited by secular laws.
Of course if you are a political party who has just lost several heartland seats to muslim independents then you quite like to get those seats back again.
It’s rather like the complaint that blacks are over represented in the US prison system.
In 2019 blacks were 12.2% of the us population but represented 26.6% of total arrests, including 51.2% of murder arrests, 52.7% of robbery arrests, 28.8% of burglary arrests, 28.6% of motor vehicle theft arrests, 42.2% of prostitution arrests, and 26.1% of drug arrests (FBI’s Uniform Crime Report, Table 43).
Any over representation in prisons would appear to be a direct result of an over propensity for committing crimes.
Being Sunday and thinking about The Sermon on the Mount got me thinking about the village of Ebenezer near Windsor. I believe the oldest church in Australia is there. Ebenezer – the stone of help from the Book of Samuel. rather wonderful.

It’s a poor translation.

It means meek like Caine from the TV series Kung Fu.

We should also always consider the cultural milieu in the Mediterranean world which Jesus taught, which was one of paganism. Implicit in the saying is a rebuke of the powerful of the day who did not acknowledge God, usurped his role and too often exercised power without mercy.
So, what Jesus means is that when the kingdom comes, power will not be abused but will be exercised justly.
It’s an eschatological promise but also with implications for living in this world.
Dear Boris, as soon as you won all those seats in 2019 you dropped all the big and popular themes and ran to the greens. You told half the people who voted for you to drop dead. So now they returned the favour.
You think you are so smart yet you couldn’t work out the give and take with the electorate. Wouldn’t those 5M votes that went to Reform Party have been handy in keeping together your giant coalition? Should the Conservative Party take your advice that five millions votes for Reform could grow to ten million in five years time.

Former Labor Senator for WA Fatima Payman has accused Anthony Albanese of “petty” behaviour since she quit the party on Thursday, adding many members feel let down and disenfranchised by the Government she was once part of.
Senator Payman — who quit Labor to sit on the crossbench, citing its “indifference” to the plight of Palestinians in Gaza — on Saturday said she would not get involved in a public tit-for-tat with the Prime Minister over her decision to quit.
Mr Albanese this week said the WA public had voted for his party and not Senator Payman, who received about 1600 votes in the 2022 election, and she had “at no stage” stood up in caucus on the Middle East, WA or “about anything else”.
Asked about Mr Albanese’s assertion that voters voted for the ALP, not her, Senator Payman told The Sunday Times: “I am not going to get into the petty back and forth that he has been engaging in.”
But she said she was not alone in feeling disenchanted with Labor.
“They may have voted for the ALP, but I feel like the ALP has strayed away from its own values,” Senator Payman said in a wide-ranging interview just hours after she returned to Perth, in which she paid tribute to her “rock”, husband Jacob Stokes.
“West Australians voted to change the Government (in 2022). They voted for fairness, justice and equality.

Multiculturalism IS the problem, it transformed this country. I’m referring to the hordes arriving after Gough. We were never consulted about the transformation the Uniparty has inflicted on us. They just went ahead and fkd the country by importing the voteherds.
Now lamenting the political destruction, never mind the social shit soup we have become and now endure.
Well now that it appears Islam has the numbers politically to sway Govts, we can thank our glorious leaders for ruining what once was a wonderful place to live.
Kelly has always been part of the problem. Just go away.
Er no, it’s not “heartwarming”, it’s devastating. Seems like the deadhead drive for diversity has put women in the frontline soldiers’ positions, and now crowd control around the Head Of State in the middle of Raghead Stabby Land is handled by emotionally incontinent weaklings.

maybe you should stop importing 3rd world criminals then?
All of which can be traced back to the problem of western women not having enough babies… because equality. herding women through higher education and into the workforce correlates strongly with below replacement fertility rates. There are numerous studies that show that the more education women have the lower the birth rate
Rather than admit the failure of equality as a civilizational unsustainable idea, they double down on importing the 3rd world

Translators face difficult choices. Meek in the 17 C could mean submissive, as in a servant submissive to his master’s will, which alluded also to the believer submitting to God’s will. In the centuries since, it has been denuded of that meaning.
Also, a casual contemporary reader of the New Testament is looking at English words that translate Greek words without the Biblical context, knowledge of which has largely disappeared. When translating the Greek NT, for example, the translators would have looked at how the Septuagint (a Greek translation of the Hebrew scriptures from c. 2ndC BC) used the word and this would have led them to the Hebrew word and context which illuminated the meaning. In both Hebrew and Greek, one Biblical word can carry a lot of freight in terms of meaning but even monoglot readers of the Bible in translation in previous eras could pick up on this because the culture was informed by the faith.
Modern English doesn’t have the same resonance, especially when read in the context of our very flat (i.e. lacking dimensional depth) culture.
I always associated meekness, in the biblical sense, as a sort of (powerful) humility?
Yes, that’s about right, Lysander.
Even a king has to know his place under God.
You can see how this belief wended its way into Western culture.
Perhaps that’s why I immediately thought of the juxtaposition between Kings Saul and David.
Didnt God say “I loved David and hated Saul” (which is interesting given David was quite the pr!ck at times; but he learned humility whereas Saul kept all the laws, but then went and made some up for himself!)
Extract from Sheridan piece in the Oz……
I have previously written that Starmer resembles a British Anthony Albanese. He came from a working class background, did well at university where he was a far-left activist. Unlike most politicians, he had a big career before politics, as a human rights lawyer, then Director of Public Prosecutions.
Starmer is brainy and works hard. Too deep immersion in the law has rendered it impossible for Starmer to write felicitous prose or create memorable images. Perhaps he’s a British combination of Albanese and Mark Dreyfus, with a touch of Gareth Evans.
Starmer has provided a small target. It’s not clear people are voting primarily for Labour; they voted ferociously against the Conservatives. Starmer tried not to interrupt while the Conservatives committed political suicide.
UK is ferked for a while. Let’s hope Australia wakes up to Sleazy quicker.
Oh dear
The last person who got a touch of Gareth Evans was Cheryl Kernot and that ended badly (for her).
I’m surprised, given his flawless record (sarc), that they haven’t resurrected Gareth to give seminars on courteous and respectful treatment of staff.
He not called dibbler Sheridan for nothing
Five year terms don’t help.
“Starmer is brainy and works hard.”
While ANAL is a lazy dullard whose whole intellectual armoury was shaped by Billy Bragg and a few Midnight Oil albums.
The King James is still my favourite although it can be heavy going at times.
I prefer the New Jerusalem as it is littered with footnotes that will, for example, take you to other references in other biblical books that mention “meek.”
The footnotes in the NJ also help explain how and why things have been translated the way they’ve been…

Indeed, that was/is the prog-left secularist conceit, Makka.
“Our progressive culture is so superior that these backward religious folk will relinquish their beliefs once exposed to it.”
People like Kelly are having difficulty digesting their failure to diagnose the problem that Islam presents in Western countries.
Snoozer Kelly has lots of problems. J’ism as the first draft of history (usually wrong).
A pompous twot from way back.
mUntyfa is a j’ismist.
Progs have difficulty when the great unwashed don’t accept their world view. See, for example, Brexit and the Voice.
They have already digested it Roger. Grubs like Kelly are now trying to camouflage their failure with mincing words and haughty political theorem. Pontificating over our national demise. The truth is it’s been a disaster, they know it and so do many many Aussies.
Plenty of Liars have their “road to Damascus” moment when freed from the burden of seeking preselection. Like Islamic refugee flow, not much going back the other way. The funniest one ever was a long time Hawke minister admitted as a private patient whinging about his gap fees and the public patient next to him.
The left’s adoption of muslims as their useful idiots is far more primitive. The left sees muslim immigration simply as a method of speeding up the collapse of Western democracy by further sowing the social division so beloved by Marxists.
If I could offer one suggestion to anyone listening to the Gospel reading in church today or any other day, it would be to remember that the Gospels have three contexts.
The first context is the Hebrew scriptures (the Old Testament).
The second context is the 1st century pagan Mediterranean world.
The third context is today.
We should attempt to understand the first two contexts before applying the message to the third. There are commentaries and study bibles with cultural notes produced by reputable scholars that can help you do this. You may even be blessed with a preacher who explains it all in the sermon (if your church follows the Revised Common Lectionary, note that the Old Testament reading, the Psalm and possibly the epistle are usually related to the Gospel reading; this was done on purpose!).
Here endeth the lesson! 😀
Indeed!
and each author has his own audience!
When I read a ‘chronological bible’ for the first time it became clear that each book or part was written at a time and for a purpose.
What you say above is very helpful. Our group is studying Revelation this year, using an IMO rather shallow study booklet. We are also using Verse By Verse Ministries web resources as additional reading which are illuminating by cross-referencing the symbolism to the rest of scripture.
Christian youngsters/newbies are very focused on God’s role as Father and personal saviour, and his love in their lives. Revelation is about a completely different perspective: God’s complete intention for creation and ultimate fulfilment of his intentions. Revelation is an illustration of God’s glory.
Plus, the most naive really want the simplicity of literal implementation of the text in front of them, as a form of magical power over the universe that they can claim. Us autistic engineering minds can’t abide that.
So your perspective here helps make those outlooks coherent.

I see it but don’t believe it.
Well yes I do.
We cannot say we weren’t warned – hey warned us themselves this is what they were going to do.
Why did they need such huge flywheels?
Single acting piston – ie power on only one quarter of the cycle.
Heavy, possibly unpredictable loads eg line shafts driving multiple belt driven equipment that may cut in without regard to stage of power cycle.
Chris the twin cylinder steam engine is more than likely to have 4 power strokes per rev, its not an internal combustion engine of the the 4 stroke variety.
True! I just read ‘Exactly’ by Colin Winchester and he talks of Wilkinson, (Iron Master) inventing a system for boring solid cast cannon. (This allows far better grain structure and many fewer casting failures.)
He ordered a Watt steam engine to power his plant and it was useless, so he precision bored the cylinder which was order of a metre diameter, to plus or minus the thickness of a sixpence. Result: happiness.
That motor was the first or second generation, still single-acting and single cylinder; I wondered about my 25% but decided it was mere rhetorical overstatement if wrong! 😉
Some similar amazing machinery at the Lithgow (NSW) Small Arms & industrial machinery museum.
I have GOT to go see that.
I just wrote an article about interchangeable parts as a building brick of the industrial revolution. The Lithgow SAF is a beautiful illustrative story of that progress.
Mass provides a buffer when changing loads.
Massive torque required to get it up to operating speed, but equally massive torque required to slow it down.
The rods for the pump at the bottom of the shaft weighed many thousands of pounds as well. They needed such a large flywheel to smooth out the combined mass and the pulses from the steam engine.
Exactly as Chris says above.
The larger the size of the flywheel, in terms of mass and diameter, the more useful energy the system stored.
Basically,to smooth-out the sometimes erratic behaviour of the steam driven pistons.
Early steam engines were made to “dubious” tolerances.. “Metrology” was a barely-emerging science when all of this started.
The big flywheel was connected to an array of shafts that drove all manner of machinery. Weird speed changes could damage the more lightly-constructed ones.
In some aspects, we have come a long way since the “industrial revolution” started.
The Luddites now rule over us, abusing the very industrial power they have always despised, to stifle and crush dissent.
Horizon movie.
Went to see it last night. Only opened last Thursday and due to length and perhaps low interest Event cinemas only having 2 showings per day.
Wife and I were one of only three couples in the cinema. One couple left after one hour.
Apparently Costner been working on the project since 1988 and had put over US$30m of own money into it. Seems plan is to have 4 parts as movies so am guessing about 12 hours. Part 2 is next month.
Movie 3 hours long and movies cover 12 year period starting just before Civil War. Four different story lines which can be summarised as follows :
Costner saves a prostitute and a kid and being chased.
Sienna Miller and Sam Worthington Indian attack and aftermath.
Jeff Fahey leading group who go Indian hunting after the attack.
Luke Wilson leading wagon train through Indian country.
All heading towards the virgin land at Horizon.
Now to be clear I am a long time Costner fan from days of Dances With Wolves, Untouchables and The Bodyguard, Field of Dreams.
Plenty of recognisable faces in the smaller acting roles.
Some particularly good scenes are Costner and another character walking up a hill and find going to same cabin. The Indian attack. Farewell of some of the young soldiers going to fight in Civil War.
The last 5 minutes was basically previewing scenes from future parts.
I enjoyed it and recommend it if you are a Western fan as plenty of good characters and interesting storylines.
Not sure why it is not doing good box office and critics not reviewing well. Perhaps we are now at stage where people wait for things to go to streaming.
I think it deserves to do well. May take a while to recoup it’s budget but I note this from the Wikipedia entry:
Costner later explained plans for additional monetary gains through licensing the film series every several years through streaming and home video media, regardless of their box office performance”.
If streaming companies willing to spend well over $100m for some exclusive movies then this series worth multiples of that and that alone should recoup it’s costs.
My wife did not like it so much as there is killing of women and kids.
If you are a Costner / Western fan go and see it as might not be at the cinema for long..
Thank you. Review is appreciated.
Good review .. download in progress …..! Watch it tonight, don’t mind Costner and Luv my westerns .. LOL!

Faruqi won’t say if Hamas should be dismantled
Greens international justice spokeswoman Mehreen Faruqi has refused to say whether she believes Hamas should be dismantled and has declared “it’s a bit rich” of Anthony Albanese to say the pro-Palestinian protest on top of parliament house was not peaceful.
And in reference to the pro-Palestinian grafitti on the Australian War Memorial, Senator Faruqi said that “a bit of paint” paled in comparison to what was being done by Israel.
Senator Faruqi slammed Labor for not backing a Greens motion to recognise Palestine “without caveats”, including that such recognition be part of “a peace protest”, and said it was “offensive” of the government to describe the Greens’ actions as purely political.
But when grilled on the role of Hamas in Palestine, Senator Faruqi would not back the need for the terrorist organisation to be dismantled.
“The situation (with) Hamas.. I can’t keep repeating it again and again. It has nothing to do with Palestinian statehood and Palestinian self-determination,” she said on ABC’s Insiders.
When asked again if Hamas should be dismantled, she said: “The Palestinians need to decide where they want to go with their own region” and that the matter should not be up to western countries.
“Instead of questioning the Labor government hard on why they aren’t stopping the slaughter, why they aren’t putting sanctions on Israel… That’s the question to ask – not a hypothetical theoretical scenario,” she said, in response to being asked a third time on if Hamas should be dismantled.
“Hamas is listed as a terrorist organisation. And there is no – absolutely no change that we are demanding in that.
“Hamas is an organisation that exists in the region that we are talking about here. Who will dismantle it? It is up to the people in Palestine and that region to make sure that people can live in peace… It’s not up to me to say who should be gone or not.”
Senator Faruqi defended the pro-Palestinian protests outside of the Prime Minister office, which has left Mr Albanese and his staff choosing a different location with which to work from, and said it was not “a blockade”.
“People do have a right to go outside the Prime Minister’s office and request, request, that he meet them,” she said.
“The Prime Minister should just meet them rather than blaming those who are protesting a genocide.”
Great. The Muz will be the death of the Greens. The environment, climate change and all the other Green dribble, they couldn’t care less about. The religion started in a desert, probably a result of goats and camels. Just keep them on this one issue they can not wavier from.

Multiculturalism IS the problem, it transformed this country. I’m referring to the hordes arriving after Gough. We were never consulted about the transformation the Uniparty has inflicted on us. They just went ahead and fkd the country by importing the voteherds.
When I moved into this, totally separated from private, brand new, “houso” estate in 1988 it was 98% white .. most worked, Dads at least, back then folk who were in the position to save for deposits did & by 1995 it was down to 30% white and, well known as, the drug capital of SW Sydney, those that could get out were gone/going and by 2000 it was 10% white .. now out of 69 properties there are 4, English as their Language, families left …..
The big difference in changing “nationality” occupation is simple .. The, original, white families, tho poor, were working and saving to improve themselves .. once the boat-folk came in they didn’t work, most didn’t speak English or intend too .. They’ve had no incentive to “improve” cos cheap, subsidized, rent, welfare payments & favourable treatment, across the board, from all levels of gummint and the realization that they’ll always get away with the “lettuce leaf” treatment that white folk pay penalties for ……..
This anti white, gummint, discrimination is entrenched and isn’t gonna change .. any time soon ..!
In 1988 there were “strict” occupational rules for “houso” .. break any of ’em and you were evicted .. no ifs or buts! .. By 2000 those “rules” (most of which still exist, on paper, today) had been pushed onto the backburner as the boatfolk weren’t concerned by them and no one was intent on enforcing .. thus you now have the, fascinating, “houso” “inheritance” scheme where the parents either die or move on but the folk left (usually grown kids & families but not alwayz) in occupation just carry on as if nuttin’ has changed .. generally, as long as your NOT white* ……
A very simplified version of how the now version of “houso” evolved …

If your country is being turned into a pile of rubble and before long the residents will be living under tents, what does losing look like?
What can have led to the hideously horrible ‘domestic homicide’ in Sydney where children were apparently forced into the house to be burned alive? The woman was only 29 and the man 28 yet apparently there were ?8 children in the house.
Our local residents’ group, normally concerned with building applications and planning issues and the state of the local parks is inviting us to a talk on domestic violence. We will be hearing from the CEO of a specialist multicultural family violence service provider. We live in a small suburb with a predominance of older people – why is this suddenly an issue for us?
Something is very wrong.

Let’s start with the false and misleading premise of the piece. that the battle that Israel is waging is comparable to the conflicts that the US has been in since World War II.
Every single war the US has been involved in since WW2 has been a result of choice. The US chose these fights, and they weren’t existential. On the other hand, Israel’s war is totally existential. The US wasn’t fighting someone next door. They were quite distant from the continental US. The US chose to enter these fights and then chose to exit. Israel doesn’t have this choice. It will turn into a fight to the death if needed, and Israel won’t lose this war even if it means they have to kill every last Palestinian. Existential wars are different.
Furthermore, if Israel needs to change tactics and kill more of these swine, it will do so.
I’m a little taken aback that you’re clinging to a Foreign Affairs piece because I assumed you were no longer associated with the “regime”.
Losing is being unable to undertake operations, declining numbers of recruits, declining support with the population, etc.
Everyone is losing. Recruitment drives are failing in many countries. Hardware issues are a chronic problem. China is training 3 times more pilots than the USA, they can’t build F35s quick enough to fill the orders, just finished a huge upgrade to the F22s even though it is now an older model, is spending a fortune on the F15ex which is an incredibly expensive exercise, and can’t find enough army recruits due to physical and mental health issues. Over a decade ago an RAAF officer commented there are more fighter pilots in Cathay airlines than in the RAAF and at present there are ongoing ads for the Army Reserve but recruitment for regular army is way below replacement levels. Even Putin had to hire mercenary groups for key objectives, offer much larger salaries to recruits, can’t replace aircraft and tanks at a good enough rate, and has sacked a large number of commanders.

A towel head was a half broken AK 47 and a couple of rounds is going get blown up soon enough, so I wouldn’t be hopeful for the Palis if I were you.
Moreover, if the IDF needs to go back to northern rubble and kill more of these swine it will do so.

The war against communist expansion in South Vietnam was sold as an existential threat to the US. But his premise has nothing at all to do with ‘choice or existential threats’, he referenced the Viet Cong as an analogue to Hamas and the failure of the US to defeat them even though the US had wrought severe damage to the Viet Cong.

Doesn’t the last phrase justify the reason, however flawed? It may have been false as the war finally closed, but the threat of attack from North Vietnam’s ideological pals was real.
A proxy war conducted by the usual suspects.
In Israel’s case, October 7 was an actual attack across the border, not a distant conflict. What sh*ts me to tears is that Israel gave them the land in good faith and have been supplying them with medical care, electricity, water and jobs for years. And this is how they’ve been repaid.
And now Israel is the Bad Guy.

WA Senator Fatima Payman’s comments like ‘cane toad poison from the East’, Premier Roger Cook declaresDylan Caporn and Oliver LaneThe West Australian
Sun, 7 July 2024 11:15AM
Roger Cook has lashed out at WA Senator Fatima Payman, describing her comments that Labor members were “disenfranchised” with the party as “poison from Canberra” coming across the border like cane toads.
Speaking after Senator Payman unleashed on her former political party in an interview with The Sunday Times, Mr Cook said Western Australians needed to “resist the poison” from the East.
Senator Payman said she was not alone in feeling disenchanted with Labor.
“They may have voted for the ALP, but I feel like the ALP has strayed away from its own values,” Senator Payman said.
“Rusted-on young Labor members have told me that they feel disenfranchised and have resigned.
“Not just because of Palestine, but other issues as well. People wouldn’t feel disenfranchised if the ALP was sticking to what was in the platform.”
The escalation in comments came as the fallout from Senator Payman’s decision on Thursday to move to the crossbench, criticising the Albanese Government for its stance on the Israel-Gaza war.
“This is just more poison from Canberra that’s coming across the border to Western Australia,” Mr Cook said on Sunday.
“The debate you see from Canberra from time to time it’s personal, and it’s nasty. That’s not the way we do things and WA.
“We need to look at social cohesion, we need to look at how we as a community can work together.
More of the much vaunted unity of the Labor Party, I see.
Social cohesion from destroying livelihoods and punishing the innocent, rewarded by smugness for the in-crowd.

Nice song, haven’t heard that one for a long time. Smooth Caribbean flavours, although Black are Pommy. That’s perhaps an advantage of colonialism, that the colonies beneficially affect the old country!
Sad he’s no longer with us. So many fine musicians have been laying down their guitars recently for the last time.
And yes, you aren’t mistaken, popular music has been getting more and more infantile lately.

Sad, but once Elon’s Spaceship gets going, with a capacity for a hundred passengers, then space tourism will become a serious business. At an affordable price, at least for space tragics.
A hundred punters paying a hundred grand each for a ticket to LEO for a day or two is enough for a decent profit for a single launch. It was not long ago when airlines started similar tourist flights to Antarctica.
Still reading “The Survivor” by Jack Fairweather on the early years of Auschwitz and quite stunned by how much info was sent to London but ignored .. Mainly, cos it just wasn’t believed and the general thoughts being the Polish-gummint-in exile was “guilding the lily” to, hopefully, get more attention/money & arms …..
Prior to the Wannsee decisions Autschwitz was still a fairly open camp, they employed locals in the, ongoing, building work & minor administration jobs. These folk came & went each day plus as the camp was 80% Polish prisoners they were also allowed outside the “wire” for construction purposes .. so getting info in & out was fairly simple .. It was still possible for non Jewish Poles to be released up until a coupla months after Barbarossa started .. It was only once the Russian PoWs started arriving that they (Nazis) started to seal off the camp from outsiders..
I also had no idea of Nazi staff numbers that, apparently, exceeded 2500 SS by the end of 1941 .. I’d alwayz thought camps were skeleton staffed using fear & reprisal rather than numbers ..
You realise this book isn’t exaggerating up cos not only does it name ‘sources” (prisoners) but, often, the Nazi staff involved and in a lot of cases includes, official, photos taken on arrival & registration ……
My mother told me that even in Aus there were rumours of the holocaust and she heard people say thank god someone is doing it. Antisemitism was remarkably widespread. A few years ago a Malaysian official said his country learnt antisemitism from colonization. Antisemitism was present in the USA. That may have changed in part because they realized so many Ashkenazi Jews were brilliant scientists. The guilt of failing to address the issue in WW2 was also influential.
For a brutally cold account of concentration camp commanders the recent movie, The Zone of Interest, based on a book by Martin Amis, is revealing. It reminded me of Arendt’s the banality of evil. The movie is not entertaining but very well made and should be watched to remind us of how even the most seemingly civilized and normal people can engage in horrific acts; an observation also made during the Nuremberg trials.
Yep .. watched the movie & passed a copy on to my youngest daughter who started researching the “camps” after a day trip to Auschwitz on her coach trip thru Europe not long after finishing school .. she knew nothing about them previously ……
Can recommend the book, Tattooist of Auschwitz but nor the, newish, mini series .. far too “plastic” and “clean” for realism ..
Shatterzzz, where was this printed, the only book I can find to match is titled either: “The Volunteer”, or “A Rebel in Auschwitz”
Know through my extended circle a family on the NDIS. Boy, they thought when Shorten got elected that he may fix some of the dodgier parts like sex workers being paid for and getting some more therapist that in most place including capital cities are now over 12months.
How wrong they were. Under Billy Shortens watch the grift has accelerated and waiting list blown out. He seriously needs to stop being combative with everyone and do his job!
As for Sukkar the shadow minister, where is he? Shorten should be easy pickings…
The Jew hater named Mehreen Faruqi should be censured by the Australian senate.

I suppose that, if news of an equivalent to Auschwitz, were to emerge today, there are those who would brand it “fake news.”
One of the obvious problems during Covid era has been bias of the media to promote the Government line, particularly in relation to vaccines.
Some papers have reporters who specialise in health matters. Their “reporting” is often just passing on the latest Government or institutions line. This can be a CHO or something like the Immunization Coalition which might as well be a big pharma release as they are the main sponsors.
These articles then form the basis for news and comments on the radio and then that is picked up on the evening news.
You can see some reporters output relies heavily on such articles and as such they form a significant part of their employment renumeration. Even if such reporters had their doubts, and surely some must, they seem hardly likely to comment negatively on sources who have been feeding them stories for years.
Reporting on vaccine injuries or even inconsistencies in expert advice is hardly likely to endear you to your editor who just wants regular articles to fill some space.
This is a major problem for the integrity of the media and does great harm to the concept of “informed consent”. If you are not told the whole story how can you make an informed decision.
Never forgot the Liberal Government had to be dragged into even setting up a vaccine injury compensation scheme by their own Senator Rennick. Recent Senate estimates reveals only 324 out of over 3,000 claims have even been approved. In one case highlighted by Senator Roberts a lawyer was only compensated $4,000 for what was claimed to be hundreds of thousands in lost income for a proven and accepted injury.
Unfortunately the politicians are just the front men for the unelected and unaccountable civil servants who will carry on regardless as their are no consequences. Just like the former head of TGA John Skerritt who now works for a lobby group for big pharma. As indicated in Senate by Senator Roberts big pharma actually said Skeritts new role was a reward for ensuring quick approvals. I don’t even recall seeing that being mentioned in the mainstream media when it should have been front page news. However perhaps the reason it was not was because it might cause you to doubt the integrity of the decision making going on. As we now anything that might cause vaccine hesitancy is bad and better to not let the public know the full details.
Meanwhile rest assured that it will not be long line before all vaccines will be MRNA produced in a Melbourne facility (100m jabs per year) jointly funded by Moderna, Federal Government and VIC Government. All supported by a Federal CHO (Kelly) who stood beside Federal Health Minister Hunt and referred to the Novel Prize winning drug Ivermectin as a horse dewormer. From the same Government that banned Ivermectin but approved the use of the failed Ebola drug Remdesivir. The same CHO who just came from WHO back full of pride that Australia had signed up to the WHO Pandemic treaty.
Scum does not even come close to describing some of our health and media leaders.
Look for inclusion of more vaccines for kids as more and more are approved. Plus in some cases for employment. Police Commissioners in both Qld and WA have both indicated they might mandate more jabs again on the future and this is one of the reasons they resisted the court cases. You have to control the police if you want to control the public.
Never forget what they did and worry that they have zero remorse and with some of our leaders will have no hesitation to do it again.

The denial and disinformation facing October 7 survivorsBy Chip Le Grand
July 7, 2024
Posters of Israeli civilians abducted by Hamas were defaced in Inkerman Street, St Kilda East.
Listen to this article

Not long after the war began, three women went to their local member of parliament to register their dismay about Gaza. The women were aged in their late 20s or early 30s. One was a lawyer, another worked for a design firm. One wore a keffiyeh draped around her shoulders.
The federal MP, who asked not to be identified for fear of inciting anti-Israel protesters to target his electorate office and staff, offered a considered response. He, too, was appalled at the deaths of innocent Palestinians and acknowledged the terrible history of oppression of people who live on the Gaza Strip. He also condemned the atrocities of October 7.
It is here that the woman wearing the keffiyeh interjected. “That never happened,” she said. “The 7th of October never happened. It is fake news.”
Young Israelis last month returned to the site of the Nova dance festival, the site of one of the worst massacres of October 7.Credit: AP
This flat denial of murder, rape, and mutilation of Jewish and Arab Israelis, a daylight carnage captured on hundreds of security cameras, dash cameras, mobile phones and body cameras worn by the killers, left the MP flummoxed. “That was in November,” he says. “Already, the disinformation campaign had done its work.”
Nimrod Palmach, an Israel Defence Forces reservist and among the first Israeli soldiers to arrive at Kibbutz Be’eri where Hamas and other Palestinian militants killed nearly one in 10 residents, is disgusted but not surprised at the virulence of October 7 denial.
Palmach saw things that day he will never forget. People shot in the head. Bodies of dead women, stripped half naked. Burnt corpses. “I felt like I was in zombie land,” he
He remembers a moment late in the day, as the kibbutz was wreathed in smoke and he was lying in the scrub pinned down by Palestinian gunmen who’d taken control of a farm building. It occurred to him then that even if he survived to bear witness, some people would never believe him.
“I was shooting with one hand with a machine gun, and with the other hand, I am holding my phone to take photos and to document,” he tells this masthead from Tel Aviv.
“We are the only country in the world that has to go through a massacre like this, an act of barbarism like this, and people will not believe us, will want to see proof, will blame us for manipulating the truth.”
Stephen Smith, a Los Angeles-based genocide scholar, says that October 7 denial, like Holocaust denial, is a spectrum of disinformation. “There is flat-out denial, which is hard to justify because Hamas filmed themselves with their bodycams,” he says. “It’s also minimisation and marginalisation of the significance of the event. It is making the public doubt the veracity of what occurred on that day.”
Reasonable attempts to confirm facts about October 7 are not denial, Smith says. Rather, it is the attempt to obscure, distort and misrepresent the deadliest day in Israel’s history.
Posters of Israeli civilians abducted by Hamas were defaced in Inkerman Street, St Kilda East.
In Australia, this can be seen in avowed feminists refusing to accept that Jewish women were raped on October 7; a respected journalist promoting conspiracy theories about Benjamin Netanyahu’s government sacrificing its own citizens to secure a pretext to invade Gaza; a prominent Palestinian activist telling shoppers they have been lied to about October 7; and a vandal on Melbourne’s Inkerman Street scrawling the word “fake” across the image of Ariel Bibas, a four-year-old boy abducted by Hamas from a kibbutz.
Sara Aniano, a disinformation analyst with the New York-based Anti-Defamation League’s Centre on Extremism, says the prevalence of October 7 denial, although difficult to quantify, is disturbing.
“I have seen super progressive, left-wing influencers promote the same narrative as neo-Nazis,” she says. “We have seen state-sponsored media from Iran and Russia sowing division. It has been a mix of orchestrated, highly co-ordinated and more organic campaigns.”
Danny Ben-Moshe, a Walkley Award-winning, Melbourne film-maker and Holocaust researcher who travelled to Israel to help document the stories of Palmach and other October 7 survivors, is struck by the parallels between arguments used to deny the Holocaust and those now being employed to downplay the truth about what Hamas did nine months ago. The difference is the speed with which October 7 denial set in.
“It took about 20 years for Holocaust denial to gain momentum. It took a matter of days for October 7 denial to take root,” he says.
There are no doubt few amongst us who haven’t encountered some version of this denial. It is both gobsmacking (in view of the evidence of the very perpetrators) and heartbreaking. I really thought it would be impossible to deny the evidence that we have. But no – the truly bigoted minds that deny the truth are indeed amongst us. It is the nature of “the beast” – indeed!
I came near to decking a prominent Lefty, who described the “Killing Fields” of Cambodia as nothing more then American propaganda. I’ve seen them with my own eyes…
Jeez Louise, it could’ve been put forward as an attack by Martian aliens, but it was for all intents a war of choice. The Vietnamese didn’t attack the US and neither were the Americans followed and defeated on their home turf. On the other hand an existential war is exactly what Israel is living through. Big difference that you refuse to acknowledge.
Does it? Your return argument here just sucks. It’s pathetic. You’re constantly hostile to links to “regimey” publications and when something agrees with your bias you ignore your simplistic assertions and link to regime publications. How funny.
I see that Jacinta Allan was given projections 4 years ago that the Loop to Nowhere would have stuff all punters.
Herald Sun is trying but the rest of the media and the electorate will remain indifferent until the Libs get there act at least partially together
Never gonna happen.
It’s a ridiculous assertion that somehow Israel must maintain an area it has had confrontations with hamas 100% indefinitely.
Hamas don’t wear a uniform, they melt into the civilian population and like the rats they are, they return.
Insisting that the IDF maintain a presence in particular location is a demand for more IDF casualties as hamas with mostly sympathetic civilian population would inflict far more casualties than they do now.
Not to mention so called gazan civilians wouldn’t hesitate to lynch IDF soldiers if the opportunity arose.
While Vietcong certainly lurked the entire civilian population of South Vietnam didn’t see Americans as subhuman to be killed wherever they might be found.
Given that Payman’s man Stokes has masterminded a conspiracy to undermine Australian democracy and to insinuate foreign violent extremeism into our culture, I am comforted by the knowledge that ASIO will be devoting significant resoures to counter this emergent threat.
Has he got a garage, otherwise they won’t be able to find him.
Some people may know the ventriloquist Jeff Durham.
He is the guy who has Achmed the Dead Terrorist puppet.
Here is a snip of one of this shows where he interviews Biden after the debate (using one of his existing puppets, so don’t get too hung up by the appearance.)
Stop pretending that Vietnam wasn’t put forward as an existential threat in the middle of the Cold War.
It may have been claimed, but it wasn’t true. Proof: The US lost the war but still exists. After a fashion.
Amusingly the US won by losing, since Vietnam is now on some measures a capitalist country. Certainly investment has been fleeing China into Vietnam lately.
Of course if the US had won South Vietnam would be like South Korea. Infinitely better than it now is.
Even the trishaw drivers in Hanoi prefer being paid in U.S. “Long Green.”
I see that Jacinta Allan was given projections 4 years ago that the Loop to Nowhere would have stuff all punters.
Jacinta Allan is Dan with a vagina but no hump.
Useless waste of space but managing to continue to fcuk Victoria
Seems Senator Payman is getting her knickers in a twist, because she wasn’t allowed a “support person” present, while she was getting her horoscope read to her by Albo……
Perhaps she lacks the robust mental attitude needed to succeed in Parliament?
Senator Rennick, one of the few pollies worth feeding interrogates some bastard from the CSIRO about nuclear and their fuking lying report:

Bureaucrats like this bastard are destroying this country. If you watch closely you can see the shit-stains on his tongue from where he has licked blackout’s arse.
just another uni deadshit
In Israel’s case, October 7 was an actual attack across the border, not a distant conflict. What sh*ts me to tears is that Israel gave them the land in good faith and have been supplying them with medical care, electricity, water and jobs for years. And this is how they’ve been repaid.
Yes Calli. Few seem to know anything about the history of the occupation of Gaza – especially the relocation of Israeli farmers to permit the Palestinian settlement. Gazans have been supported ever since – by the Israeli services you have mentioned & monetary support from Qatar and other Islamic nations.
And many many millions from the US and EU.
Because the distinction proves nothing. Pape references the US’s failure against the Viet Cong because it establishes the difficulty of defeating an insurgency solely through military means. That is his principal point.
My substantive return argument was the earlier one that its interesting that a regime publication is countersignaling their earlier narrative. This is no different to regime media saying Biden is at the best of his game then and now signaling that he can’t wipe his own arse. All you’re doing above is moaning about disagreement. I’m being simplistic, biased, with the gall to link to a regime publication that is in muted tones critical of a policy that appears not be working. He maybe very well be wrong but if your plan B is to double down on plan A I’m not sure that’s going to work.
BTW, as for the claim I’m constantly critical of regime publications, this is just nonsense. People are constantly linking to them and I largely say nothing about them.

Operation Bagration – 1944.
Senator Payperson really is a piece of work- I don’t how this will play out but hopefully in a bad way for Anal and the ALP.
Well I watched Tucker Carlson in Melbourne, and what he said is true, I Hope he will be vice President with Trump, that would be twelve years of Peace, and then we could hope for Desatis after this another 8 years of Peace and then Trump Junior another 8 years of Peace, that will see me out I think
But that isn’t the assertion. The question being asked is what is the point of the operation if they just increase the pool of willing recruits to Hamas, increases support across the board, and so on? That is a reasonable question.
The question being asked is what is the point of the operation if they just increase the pool of willing recruits to Hamas, increases support across the board, and so on? That is a reasonable question.
I am not sure if that is, indeed, a “reasonable question”. The punishment of Hamas is an existential issue for Israel. The deed of 7 October was exceptionally heinous – even for the most murderous of Islamists. Israel must destroy the inner cadre of Hamas. Those who oddly claim that continued destruction of the heart of Hamas will not affect its ability to destroy Israel know nothing of the history of civilisations.
Allen offers Victorians nothing except division and declining living standards.
It proves a lot, actually. It proves that the link you posted is hogwash because even drawing on Vietnam as a template for insurgencies and comparing what’s going on in Gaza, is pure drivel.
Have you been sleepwalking since October 7th? The “regime,” as you refer to it, has been generally hostile to Israel, so it’s no surprise there are negative pieces in what you now find to be an influential and readable publication.
I’m guessing this is a point you’re trying to make, and not even you understand what it means.
Explaining to you that wars of choice and existential ones are different is not moaning. It’s actually quite a basic distinction, and even I’m surprised you’re attributing Vietnam to an existential war. Lord almighty.
Are you suffering from amnesia now or pretending to? At least you’re broadening your reading to “regime” publications, and even defending doing so too. At least we’re having to contend with Virgo the Warlord and Tiny Serge this time.
Well, not really. Your criticism of “regime” publications has been just that oftentimes—that it’s just a regime publication, and the argument as far as you’re concerned ends there.
The silly piece wasn’t simply asking that question. It was suggesting the Israels are losing the war because it’s similar to Vietnam when it’s nothing like the US war in Vietnam.
With a couple of exceptions, the shadow cabinet is missing in action.
Too busy socialising with the liars and green fascists at the Mid-Winter Ball.
The “optics” of that event in the current economic climate don’t reflect well on any attendee.
Agree and although I’ve only read reports here, the Time Warp scene from the Rocky Horror Picture Show comes to mind. An unwholesome freakshow.
It is a fundraiser.
But hz, being parliament house, just imagine the overheads associated with this event that are deducted from any monies raised. They’d do more for the poor and needy by donating directly to charity on a regular basis like many Australians do. No photo opportunities with that, I guess. Show business for ugly people, indeed.
People seem to think this war isn’t just a variation of Islamic colonisation.
So what if the vast majority of Gazans are on board and will pick up an RPG if a fighter gets killed?
They have been bred for it.
That’s not new news for anyone who has a clue about Islam or who even saw the response within Gaza on 7 October.
Israel can only hope to deteriorate the physical infrastructure and make it harder for gazans to attack them, possibly the only way is to limit that is by controlling the border with Egypt.
We all know Islam’s desire for world domination never goes away.
I remember how muslims flocked to Syria for the creation of el-sham; they won the propaganda war for a couple of years, until finally they didn’t.
And of course it being muslim on muslim not all that many people cared.
Much mirth on Outsiders about the possibility of some popular guy called Carbone running against and beating the pustule on legs, blackout. Rowan in titters and tatters about blackout being beaten by Carbon(e).
The local mayor, iirc, cohenite.
Bloke’s not my cup ‘o tea but he’s a sight more popular around Fairfield than Blow-in .. Backed Dai le to the hilt, Federally, and will carry the majority of ethnic voting across Fairfield .. only problem is if the mussos run a candidate & split the vote .. tho I’d expect them to preference him before Blow-in …
Would be good if Bowen got Keneallyed
I just want to preface this by saying the effing, bleeding obvious…..
Israel did not start this war.
I also say this…
Israel did not want to go to war. Israel never wants to go to war. However, Israel is always ready to go to war because it has to be, the neighbourhood it resides in demands this readiness. The sole Jewish state on the planet lives among the maniacal, the homicidal, and the genocidal, its neighbours are proud unashamed Jew haters who want to wipe Israel off the face of the earth and that doesn’t just mean getting rid of borders, they aim to eliminate the Jewish inhabitants within those borders. And we witnessed a taste of this on October 7 2023, when Hamas Nazi Muslim scum invaded southern Israel and proceeded to merrily rape, torture, butcher and kidnap almost 1500 men, women and children, the bulk of them Jewish.
Nothing justifies what happened on October 7…NOTHING.
I should also remind people that the area invaded by Hamas Nazis on October 7 2023 is not within 67 borders. NO. It is within 48 borders. Because, you see, Hamas and almost all Palestinians don’t recognise Israel’s 48 borders. Hamas is very clear about its intent to not just destroy Israel in its entirety, but to eliminate every last Jew on the planet. It’s in their charter.
Hamas is an offshoot of the Muslim Brotherhood, both are demonic Islamic vampiric death cults and both operate in a similar manner to the SS, they have blood initiation rituals similar to how the SS operated. They celebrate the spilling of blood, particularly Jewish and Christian blood. It pleases Allah. Just ask your average Copt about the Brotherhood.
I find the trivialisation and denials in the West about October 7, about the rapes, the murders and the kidnappings, among people who should know better, obscene, enraging, nauseating, infuriating, heartbreaking and ultimately depressing. We lost six million in World War II. The world Jewish population in 2024 has still not reached the level of the Jewish world population in 1939. That’s what happens with a REAL genocide, not the concocted bullshit ‘genocide that leftist and Muslim scum like to spruik about Gaza. Don’t you know, there’s been an ongoing genocide in Gaza since 2005? Meanwhile the population has doubled. But the good thing is that in 2024, when the homicidal, the genocidal and the murderous come after us, we Jews have an army to defend us, we Jews have any to seek revenge, unlike between 1939 to 1945, unlike in Safed in 1929, unlike in Kishnev in 1903, unlike in Ukraine during the Cossack Uprisings, unlike in so many other towns and villages in Europe and the Middle East across the centuries. And I am glad we have any army because it is very clear to me, very clear, that the world, when it comes to Jews, has learned nothing since 1945, and the only people who will defend us Jews is US Jews.
Anyway, I’m depressed enough without ranting further but hear this…
I am a proud Jew, I am a proud Zionist.
By the way, we still have over 100 hostages in Gaza help captive, but the International Red Cross is still yet to visit any of them, Amnesty International has not uttered a word, the world is forgetting……but we Jews will never forget them.
Am Yisrael Chai.
I’ve read an account of the Israeli production of atomic weapons – apparently, the first bomb produced had “NEVER AGAIN” welded into the casing.
I want you to know Cassie of Sydney… I stand with Israel.
Makes two of the “old and the bold” that stand with Israel, Digger.
May God preserve every one
And may His vengeance be swift and complete.
Cassie,
I echo Digger’s statement.
Unequivocally.
I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again:
Israel is the next target of international communism.
They’d love to knock it off like they did numerous parts of Africa and Latin America.
If people still don’t understand that we are in the same conflict we have been in for seventy plus years, with the same international communist enemy, you WILL miss the point of each and every individual conflict.
Arky, I sat next to a charming old gentleman at a lunch, an Albanian now residing in Australia with his adult family. He had no hesitation whatsoever in recognising communism in our current Labor party and media. No mincing words with ‘socialism’. He spent the first fifty years of his life living under communism and told me he knows it when he sees it.
Cassie, I am one of the many Australians that strongly support Israel, and I speak out when I see injustice against Jews.
You are an ornament to Dover’s Blog.
I really enjoy reading your posts, even if you are upset or unhappy etc.
Please continue to speak out.
That wasn’t a rant, Cassie.
It was a well constructed and reasoned reminder.
And it was a reminder of the truth.
This is an illusion.
Without US support the military campaign would have ended months ago. The US has also provided unending diplomatic support to Israel. It’s just nonsense to say they’ve been generally hostile.
I know what it means, if you don’t you can just ask.
I’m not attributing to the Vietnam war was an ‘existential’ conflict, I said the argument then was that it was ‘existential’.
No idea how that follows from what you quoted.
So it’s “nothing like” Vietnam even though public support for the Viet Cong increased, it’s numbers increased, etc. Sure sure.
The Australia From The Outback documentary episode, which I’ve just watched on Fox Docos, is one of the few series not drenched in communist propaganda and one that I would heartily recommend when it is rebroadcast.
It’s a straight-up-and-down rendition of the outback in the past 250 years, with a dutifull acknowledgement of the blackfellas, who were here before the whites forced them to live by the rules of civilisation where their women can’t be beaten and murdered without legal consequences.
Earlier:
The prospect of ‘drone surveillance’ on hundreds of released criminal detainees, all across this wide brown land.
I will assert that any reasonable person reading any document of the type would have, in all likelihood, stopped and thought ‘Hang on. That has to be horseshit.’
That Giles dropped his shoulders and went ‘oh-kay’ demonstrates his absolute disconnect with reality.
The turd who barbecued his missus and kids was white.
Words to describe how I feel escape me.
Blessings to the little ones.
An inconvenient truth to share with the gullible pro-Pali in your life.
In my case the step-father of a future daughter-in-law (happily, the prospective d-i-l has a good head on her shoulders!).
This is puerile.
That the US has elected a president of a party that has spent the last eight years driving itself insane over Donald J. Trump doesn’t make it a “regime”.
It’s a democratically elected bunch of lunatics, for sure, but it isn’t a regime.
Yeah, except it wasn’t democratically elected,
Which is why it is a “regime”.
Every election has always involved some corruption and cheating.
It isn’t a regime.
“Sure, sure”.
Military support is one thing, and even that has actually been conditional with constant threats of turning off the spigot. However, the “regime” you often refer to isn’t just the US administration. It encompasses the Washington establishment and Western Europe. It also includes the current Australian government. Hardly Zionists, and hardly Israeli supporters. There certainly has been a fracturing in Israeli support, which is why Foreign Affairs could carry a piece like that. But keep deluding yourself Israel has unlimited support in the West.
The Israeli war is nothing like Vietnam.
There were obvious limitations to US engagement. They wouldn’t jump over the border and invade North Vietnam. Israel is not that limited and goes pretty much where it chooses to go in Gaza to kill the swine. Also, their ability to access arms and ammunition is much more limited than Vietnam.
Moreover, the swine can’t go hiding in thick jungles like they did in Vietnam. Mopping up operations aren’t a sign of defeat.

Pogs, I read it this afternoon. I cannot fathom how anyone could do such a thing.
Enjoying the arguments tonight.
Off in under a week for a big family bash – the progressive side, unfortunately. No popular cause they won’t full throatedly support. I hope, forlornly, that the subject of Israel is avoided. But it won’t be.

Alice Springs curfew being considered after 20 youths attack off-duty police officersTricia Rivera
39 minutes ago
A second curfew is being considered in Alice Springs after a group of 20 male youths allegedly attacked and robbed four off-duty police officers on Sunday morning.
Four officers – three female and one male – were walking along the Todd River walkway near the Scott Terrace bridge on their way to a hotel on Barret Drive at about 2.15am when a group of 20 male youths appeared from behind and allegedly assaulted them.
One female officer, who was punched in the face and kicked multiple times, had her mobile taken off her while another female was pulled to the ground and had her bag stolen.
The male officer was also punched and kicked multiple times.
The youths fled the scene after the alleged attack, and the four officers returned to their hotel to call the police.
Two female victims suffered minor wounds and were taken to Alice Springs Hospital.
They didn’t have firearms? Or were afraid of using them? I know I would be. Life sentences for every copper would be the outcome, even if they didn’t kill any of the little bastards.
Question
How many Americans, during the Cold War, believed they lived in real danger of being invaded and taken over. 3 people out of 200 plus million perhaps?
Put that up against the threats posed to Israeli security. There is a credible threat that every last Jew currently living in Israel would be killed.
That’s the difference between a war of choice and an existential war. The murderous loons want every Jew dead.

One drop of hydrochloric acid into each open eye. A syringe with acid up the eye of his penis. Then tied naked and spread eagled over a fire ant nest while an open bottom cage is placed on his chest with a rat in it. A fire is then lit on top of the cage so the only way out for the rat is to eat through the mongrels chest.
then after that……
Ah.
I will confidently assert that these people are very new in that line of work, and absolutely assured that the sight of a badge – if produced – would make ne’er-do-wells sprint off in terror.
Nobody – and I mean nobody – who knows what’s going on walks from town across the Todd River at night. Idiots.
Also, if 20 roaming villains fronted those four it is extremely unlikely that it would have been restricted to punches being thrown and a bag pinched. It is extremely likely that the number of miscreants has been exaggerated.
Incidentally, it’s ‘Stott Terrace’ and ‘Barrett Drive’.
I was recalling comments here years ago about yappy little terriers that get the wrong reaction from strange dogs.

Sir Frank Lowy: The Australia I love is the land of the fair go, not of anti-SemitismCameron Stewart

Sir Frank Lowy cannot reconcile the Australia he knew with the Australia he has read about since the October 7 attack on Israel triggered the Israel-Hamas war.
From his home in Tel Aviv, Lowy, one of Australia’s most successful immigrants, has watched in despair as the country that once welcomed him with open arms as a Jewish post-war refugee has been blighted by unprecedented levels of anti-Semitism.
“I’m very disappointed because Australia is a fair country and Australian people are fair people,” he says sadly. “And that fairness has somehow lost its way.
“How does an evil like anti-Semitism find its way there?
“I have no explanation for it, I have no words for it but I am greatly disappointed. I sincerely hope this is a temporary affair.”
For Lowy, now 93, the issue is closer to his heart than most.
“I am not neutral about this,” he says. “I suffered from anti-Semitism (in the war). I lost my father and my mother lost her family through the cruelty of anti-Semitism. We need to get rid of these poisonous feelings in our society.”
The rise of anti-Semitism since October 7 is all the more painful for Lowy because he has a deep and abiding love for Australia for giving him the opportunity to move past the horrors of his wartime childhood and build a new life here.
And what a life it turned out to be, creating the $33bn Westfield global shopping empire, transforming Australian soccer into a mainstream sport, setting up the Lowy Institute think tank and giving tens of millions of dollars away to philanthropic endeavours across the country.
Lowy has been named as one of the 60 most influential people of the past six decades in The Australian’s 60th Anniversary Collector’s Edition magazine, to be published on Saturday, in recognition of his multiple achievements and his impact on the nation’s life.
Australia was Lowy’s home for 66 years from 1952 until he moved to Israel in 2018, and he wants to remind all Australians how the country once greeted Jewish refugees like himself.
“I was welcomed immediately,” he says of arriving here at the age of 21. “I never felt like a stranger. I went to work in a factory and they accepted me; they did not ask me who I was or what language I spoke. They just said ‘What’s your name?’ I said ‘Frank’ and I was accepted. It was a very warm feeling.”
Payman has opened Pandora’s Box. That fat slug faruqi on insiders today completed the vindication of Dr Peter Hammond’s description of the stages of islamic subversion of Western host nations by refusing to repudiate hamas..
Several muslim knife terrorism attacks show how the political bullying by islam is accompanied by violence. Sharia demands, acts of intimidation such as mass prayers and marches on public space will complete the takeover; all facilitated by vote chasing filth and liar mongrels and gutless conservatives.
I just had the best afternoon evah. Well, it was a workday, and the wifey and kids are with the in-laws, so I just worked all day, but-
Went out onto the road to re-join a fence, I had a bloke with a John Deere 333 skid loader pushing a firebreak through the bush along the river, the straight-ish fenceline has the river sometimes very close and sometimes distant, so it’s an old stand of untouched bush with some thumping marris and blackbutts. We cut the fence for access and he’s done a magic job, long overdue, 3m wide red dirt firebreak, now it’s time for a spark, I had planned Friday sundown with a healthy easterly but some stuff came up of course.
So, I’m there with the ute parked up twenty yards up, Sal the reno dog listening to some Kvelertak on the back, me daydreaming a bit and watching the bullants between twitches- road is pretty tight, but I was aware of a bike coming up with a bright LED headlight, so I’ve said g’day as this douche with a neckbeard and oh-so-ironic foil wraparound sunnies whispers past on a ten thousand dollar bike- held a long look straight at me but no response, whatevs, he’s calorie counting or something. I get back to the pliers and critters and I’m kinda aware that the bike has stopped a hundred metres up, he’s looking aback- so he rides back and says,
“You know, you can’t restrict access to the river.”
My reply, nodding towards the split jarrah fenceline- “Yes I can, and I always have.”
“But you can’t restrict our access to the river.”
My guard was up now after, my chummy first reflex, so I’ve paused a bit and lowered my voice- the bloke had a huffy and puffed-up air about him, even in his ridiculous multi-zip-flap lycra skivvy, so I disciplined myself to extend a handshake and do my defusing routine-
“I’ve got as much access to my river as I want, thanks. Look, I didn’t catch your name, I’m Wal…”
Nek moment, the guy screams like an idiot- a bullant has hit him behind the knee. He mangles his bike trying to step out of it, grabs a water bottle, splurges it down his leg, I casually lean against a fencepost (slyly double-checking for more bullants, they co-ordinate attacks) and say
“Ah. Bitten by a bullant, eh.” but he’s on the bike and away, trying to speed off while phoning someone for- what? An epipen? A lawyer?
Made my day.
Lovely story. Made my day just reading it. I needed some cheering up.
These are the things you must do..
The regime isn’t exhausted by the executive alone.
There is a simple solution: people stop voting them in.
The regime isn’t elected.
France braces for more protests as polling stations open this morning for second round parliamentary votes that are expected to be won by hard right Marine Le Pen’s National Rally
Daily Mail.
So the commos only like democracy when the results go their way.
I understand that Le Pen has bought a LOT of shares in a helicopter company.
Has anyone else heard about this? Is it true?
How many Americans, during the Cold War, believed they lived in real danger of being invaded and taken over. 3 people out of 200 plus million perhaps?
Probably correct but anyone who knew what was going on might believe they would die in thermonuclear hellfire in the next hour or so. There were one or two close calls.

My favourite was the loudmouth here, who threw the first punch in an altercation, and woke up in hospital, badly battered, to discover he had taken on a former Reconnaissance Commando in the South African Army..
It’s been unconditional. The threats have only been for show. And, sure, the regime cannot be the administration because they change, but the regime is the Washington establishment, the investment funds, the MIC, and a few other power centres.
Oh, it is in many of the respects already raised.
No, but the US bombed, repeatedly, North Vietnam. This is hardly irrelevant. Still, nothing hinges on any of this for the reason already stated.
They have tunnels just as the Viet Cong did.

Fear of WW3 was widespread in the 50s and 60s in the US. Less so in 70s because of détente but it increased again in early 80s. Only a few or more weeks ago you were telling us about nuclear shelters in US cities.

Dr Monique Ryan, MP, books several flights to the taxpayer..
TWENTY SEVEN business Class flights, to be precise.
Explanations:
1) A significant Muslim population suddenly landed – with support from activists who hate the West and all it stands for:
a) with enough political power to directly threaten politicians’ careers;
b) bringing the implied threat of terrorist violence – ‘nice country you’ve got here – shame if something happened to it’…
2) It will not go away. There is no realistic possibility now of Australia regathering the ‘culture’ that existed up to 40 years ago. There will be no ethnic cleansing, or repatriation, or assimilation; the cost of any of that would be too horrible for any reasonable person to agree to.
Islam has entered the gates, the Prophet victorious, accompanied by trumpets and applause from the good and great and hateful.
I, too, am greatly disappointed.

Bolta talks revolution:
Reform is on the rise, feeding off voters’ growing frustration with rising prices, mass immigration and politics as usual
Talk about a democracy deficit. Prime Minister Keir Starmer has won massive power, but little support.
Andrew Bolt
Britain’s bizarre election result gives Australians one more thing to boast about. We’re a lot more democratic than our former masters.
Britain’s new Labour government has a massive majority – two thirds of seats in the House of Commons – yet only 20 per cent of British adults voted for it.
What’s more, thanks to a first-past-the-post electoral system, Britain’s parliament now looks nothing like its people.
Talk about a democracy deficit. Prime Minister Keir Starmer has won massive power, but little support. It’s a recipe for political disillusion, even revolution.
Starmer’s first problem is that 40 per cent of voters couldn’t get excited enough about any party to bother voting.
Of those who did, just 34 per cent chose Labour, yet it won 64 per cent of the seats.
That’s because the conservative vote – small “c” – was split. The Conservative Party – smashed for being incompetent and gormless in government – still got 24 per cent of votes, but only 18 per cent of seats.
But the biggest scandal is that the other, and new, conservative party – Nigel Farage’s anti-immigration Reform – won 14 per cent of the vote, but five seats. In contrast, the Left-wing Liberal Democrats won fewer votes – 12 per cent – yet got 71 seats.
So the combined conservative vote was bigger than Labour’s, yet Labour rules triumphant.
Blame Britain’s first-past-the-post voting system, which worked when voters had two main choices – Labour or Conservative – but is a con now that nearly half the voters vote for someone else,
Under first past the post, your vote for Reform is wasted if it comes third. Without our kind of preference system, that vote won’t be added to the Conservative total, letting Labour win seat after seat with just over a third of the vote.
Farage is now demanding electoral reform to break up a system that’s suited the Labour and Conservative duopoly which has ruled Britain for a century. He also wants the unelected House of Lords sacked – another institution stacked by the ruling class.
If Labour doesn’t see the case for change, let it be warned: Reform is on the rise, feeding off voters’ growing frustration with rising prices, mass immigration and politics as usual.
It’s not impossible that Reform, too, could next time win 34 per cent of the vote and most seats. A revolution could come if this undemocratic system isn’t fixed.
Comments agree!

I don’t like proportional representation, you don’t know where your vote goes, mostly to the uniparty or some dropkick which we are plagued by. At least with FPP yuo can see what you are getting and do something about it.

Interestingly, prior to Blair’s Cool Britannia restructuring of the House of Lords, the upper house system worked well.
The active Lords were almost completely acting in the UK’s interest – as opposed to political interests of the governing party. Lord Inbred Rumpty Pumpty didn’t participate, and the Lords that did were by and large smart, engaged, interested and free to comment independently of Party Whips.
The result: discipline on the outpouring of Lower House policy (plus a whole bunch of legislative administrative stuff done properly).
Blair turned this unique, functional, self regulating, but non-democratic structure into a non-democratic extension of the Commons Circus.
You’d have to be a brain dead moron to attend a Biden rally. Effin losers, the lot of them.

Repatriation is the easiest of your choices and the most likely outcome. I’m sure there were people in Spain who thought as you do prior to 1492 but Isabella and Ferdinand got their way anyway.
At some point the majority population will simply be totally fed up with the troublemakers and they will decide that everything will be much better if the troublemakers were expelled en masse.
Not sure if you can get away with C15 stuff these days. They tried it in Czechoslovakia in the 90s with mixed results. India/Pakistan sorta worked.
Offer a cash payment to leave, abandon Australian citizenship, and never, ever, return.
Make returning a criminal offence, minimum penalty ten years, and expulsion at the end of the sentence.
The most concerning thing about the UK election was the lowest voter turnout amid a turbulent world political environment. The last time this happened was WW 1.
What is interesting was back then socialism was causing internal social violence, lashings of sex and lots of behind the scenes homosexuality – MolkevV Hardin being the biggie.
History repeats itself – it’s unthinkable.
people accuse the Christian religion of blinding or brainwashing when through the centuries it provided a framework of decency and civility.
these people with all the knowledge of the world, the science, the maths , the history, flock to garbage, and roll in like a washed kelpie running around the yard after his bath and roll in a cow pat.
Chairman Dan under the pump. Can his mates save him now? Will they even try?
I don’t think it will happen, not in my lifetime anyway.
Too far down the path to serfdom/dimmitude we are.
We don’t have men and women of the faith and character leading us like Ferdinand and Isabella
If asked what phone calls I’d placed or received on a random date 11 years ago, I too would spend $25,000 a day for as many days as it took to ensure nobody found out who I’d called, or been called by.
Doesn’t matter there will be someone eager to take their place.
