My reply to one of Sancho’s posts above mentioning posts from a few of us yesterday. I say building was weakened by impacts then the steel structure holding up the building was weakened by heat and finally gravity took over.
I was one of them mentioning that the strength of Iron Carbon steel at 500 deg C is at figures of 49% compared to steel at 100% at 21 deg C. Fires were estimated at 1000-1100 deg C in the immediate vicinity of the crash. That would have radiated some way down the steel which is a pretty effective conductor of heat.
Also mentioned the steel would have been designed for a Ferrite-Fe3C phase of steel which is known for it’s strength. It then from about 600 deg on transitions into a ferrite/austenite mix to austenite. Different properties.
Lastly Doc Faustus brought up gravity causing the house of cards type collapse that would have overloaded the structure. Which reminded me of a tv doco seconds from disaster program on a South Korean department store collapse. Very similar forces in play as the lower structures were overloaded by the cascading collapse of upper structures.
Mc 2 worth, people get remorseful and on death bed or even depressed to the point where they spill secrets demonising them Does anyone think if this whole event was a conspiracy that 24 years later it would still be a secret with the amount of bodies that would have been in on it? That’s assuming government or even spy agencies are totally competent…
Anthony Albanese moves Clare O’Neil, Andrew Giles and promotes Malarndirri McCarthy in cabinet reshuffle
Headline says it all. According to the ABC, in an ALP government you can be promoted but not demoted – just “moved”.
If Dutton and co win the next election, I suppose it’ll be reported that they ‘failed to remain in opposition’ whilst the ALP will ‘move from government’.

Indigenous group backs McCarthy’s promotionPaige Taylor
Malarndirri McCarthy will be an excellent Indigenous Australians minister because she understands that past policies have ongoing impacts for many Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, according to the Healing Foundation.
The Indigenous foundation — which helped the Morrison government design a redress scheme for the Stolen Generations in the NT — says Senator McCarthy brings a “nuanced understanding and lived experience to the many priorities of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities”.
Senator McCarthy is a Yanyuwa woman who grew up in the remote Aboriginal community of Borroloola on the edge of the Gulf of Carpentaria. When she finished highschool, she got a cadetship at the ABC in Darwin and worked as a television presenter and reporter for 15 years.
Indigenous leaders have told The Australian they believe she was compelling during the voice campaign but her role was too small. She featured in a series of televised advertisements advocating for the Yes case in the last weeks of the campaign, after successive polls showed the referendum would not succeed.
In parliament in 2021, Senator McCarthy said:
‘The separation of families and the destruction of communities on a systemic scale cannot simply be forgotten, and the fear and pain remain with not only the members of the stolen generations but their children and grandchildren too.
“We continue to see the long shadow the trauma has cast on relationships, on health and mental health, on people’s economic prospects and on culture, language and identity.
“The Stolen Generations have haunted not only the victims but also our national history and conscience. I’d like to think the Stolen Generations are a faraway memory—something that did happen a long time ago. Instead, it happened so recently—right up to where we are now.”
The “Stolen Generations” happened so recently….Bollocks.
Having done 911 and the question of heat exchange, rate of impact, plane weight and the amount of av-fuel, we should now move on to the holocaust. Was there enough gas intensity per square meter to kill 6 million people in those ovens?
After that, we should discuss whether Americans really landed and walked on the moon or was it a Hollywood staging? Did the Russians land on the dark side?
Finally, was it a bullet or a plastic fragment that lopped off a bit of his ear?
“At the very least, those who challenge the official narrative have to present enough evidence to render their alternative explanation plausible.”
What of the “Official Narrative” Roger?
?Why has NIST held back over 3,000 documents and refused to pass on its “assumptions” for its modelling?
What could it possibly have to hide, right?
Should that be plausible and open, or, shall we just swallow it, like all the other “truths”, for example:
Men can have babies,
Maths is racist,
Covid,
Climate Change,
Vietnam Domino theory,
the Biden crime syndicate,
JFK & RFK assassinations, (the RFK investigation makes the Warren Report look believable),
Russiagate,
Iraq WMD,
Epstein hanged himself,
Ukraine is winning, ……..

Twitter told me the murdered Israelis were not citizens but Druze residents who maintained Syrian citizenship for various reasons including the safety of family members who remained in Syria.
It was Golan.
Nevertheless the Israeli government will respond as it would with any other attack on it’s people.
Just consider this, European voters are moving away from Green parties and voting for centre or centre-right parties while our voters are flocking to the Greens who are not just immoral but completely ignorant of science, geology or meteorology. Who do we blame? The media or our education departments?
That Europeans are ahead of us means that we really are the arse end of the world and once again ten to fifteen years behind what is happening elsewhere in the Western world.
What is even more interesting is that green parties never took off in the US. Some people could suggest that there is no need since the Democrats already cater to the green loonies which is debatable since Democrats are interested in power first and foremost and everything else is negotiable.

Reshuffle will do little for farmers: LittleproudJames Dowling
Nationals leader David Littleproud has argued the Albanese government’s ministerial reshuffle does little to improve the prospects of Australian farmers.
“During the past two years, Labor’s agenda has increased taxes, cut funding, abolished industries, and failed to stand up for farmers, which is driving up the cost of living for Australian families at the supermarket checkout,” Mr Littleproud said in a statement.
“(Incoming Agriculture Minister) Julie Collins won’t change anything because agriculture is seen as a stepping stone into cabinet for Labor members and Minister Collins will toe the line.
“When Julie Collins was last shadow minister for agriculture, she visited farmers outside Tasmania on two occasions over 18 months and could not detail one Labor policy in the election debate.
“Julie Collins has no interest in agriculture and has been punished for her poor performance in housing, so now not only farmers will pay but all Australians will pay through higher prices for their food and fibre from a government uninterested in agriculture.”
Mr Littleproud similarly critiqued the performance of former agriculture minister Murray Watt, who has since moved to the employment portfolio.
“There won’t be too many farmers sad to see Murray Watt’s departure and if this Labor government’s track record over the past two years is anything to go by, his successor won’t treat farmers much differently,” he said.
“This Labor government’s treatment of farmers has caused the industry to take an extraordinary vote of no-confidence in this government, Murray Watt and Anthony Albanese which hasn’t been seen for more than 40 years.
“Murray Watt has left a legacy of treating Australian farmers with contempt and ignoring their needs.”
And I guess my question was answered a couple of hundred less people and bags didn’t make a difference.

Before we do post-mortem on the election we should probably wait for the result.. There’s no point reading and listening the the scum’s vote gathering strategy as it may not work for them the way they believe.

I’ve sorted my self for the next couple of weeks, after Cork it’s Skibbereen, Kenmare, Limerick then Galway, I’m thinking Sligo after that, not sure because finding reasonable accommodation has been a pain.
My fault for picking August, the high holidays.
I see some sun this morning woohoo.
Only me and one other fellow here, he’s mostly straight upstairs to his room when in so more or less to myself.
I bought a museum pass, medieval museum and silver museum yesterday.
Medieval mostly a beautiful set of 14th century vestments that were hidden for well over a hundred years and resurfaced in 1773 when the church of Ireland demolished the medieval cathedral.
Most of the old churches in Waterford disappeared because after Henry 8/Cromwell people refused to attend, ministers to minister and they fell into disrepair.
There is also a famous charter relating to the hundreds of years Waterford fought with New Ross over importing rights.
You get to watch a couple of short films too.
Of course the destruction wrought by 8 and Cromwell means there’s not a lot of artefacts, a few statues taken from churches and hidden in a hospital, a couple of bits held by families and stuff recovered from middens.
The Silver museum had lots of silver, I was hopping from one foot to the other by then and didn’t last long. Apparently there are ruins under the shopping mall, I shall have a squizz at those today.
I also have a walking tour to do, perhaps around the ‘Viking triangle’ the original town where the rivers intersect.
It’s all very interesting.
Still no condemnation from Penny Wong of the Hezbollah killing of a dozen kids. Instead she seems all het up today about Myanmar. Hypocrite.

Their vote herd is not as monolithic as we imagine.

The Gaza conflict has simply exposed one aspect of it to scrutiny.
I remember my first contact with a genuine conspiracy nutter.
I was stuck doing bag checks at the gates of a racecourse, and this numpty was working with me.
About five foot two, unshaven and a bit Downes syndrome looking, I’m not sure where they recruited him from, but I never saw him again after that day.
Which was more than enough for me.
The passion he put into insisting all this utter drivel was Godzone truth, was, well, pathetic.

In my student days (early 60’s) the Applied Chemists at a certain institution did the Engineers Metallurgy course.
Practical work involved a common steel with a carbon content I cant remember (0.4%?). Each Prac pair was given a different heat treatment regime one of which was from above 725 C with water quench. Others were air cool, oil quench etc.the next step was to polish to a mirror finish and examine under microscope. The unfortunate pair with water quench and resultant martensite had a very long job polishing. Our Textbook was published in Russia and sold via the International Bookshop. I still have it.

Major Firm PULLS All Advertising from Paris Olympics for ‘Mocking God’
From History.com:
Oh really?
How many Southeast Asian countries are there?
Eleven. So this article admits that communism spread to three out of eleven. How many would it need to spread to for it to make “a row of dominos” Three isn’t a row?
How about four? Is four a row? Because Burma was ruled by a communist party, which was infiltrated by another brand of Chinese backed communist rebels who were only purged from the BSPP in 1977.
So is four a row?
How about 5? In 1965 Indonesian communists attempted a coup.
As always with claims about history, one should go back to the original source when questioning claims.
Eisenhower speech, 1954:
So, according to Eisenhower, the dominos started with the communist takeover of China. We can then add China and Korea to the row of domino’s. Is seven enough to constitute a row? How many Asians were we prepared to lose to communism?
It took not just one war to stop those dominos falling, from the Malayan Emergency in 1948 to today, the threat continues.

Went to the footy today to watch the Swans. Met various family members there. The Swans played appallingly, the Western Bulldogs easily beat them. It’s a bitterly cold day today in Sydney, I had four layers on and a blanket over my feet and I was still cold.
Despite the lousy game, it distracted me from the fact that I now live in a country governed by unapologetic Jew haters. They’re not even trying to hide their contempt for us Jews.
Depressing, isn’t it? Prior to the game I had a shock. On my way to the SCG, I thought I’d make a detour and pop into a bakery I rather like and buy a nice pastry to take to the game to munch. Normally this pastry is $7.50 (as if that isn’t ridiculously expensive) but on a Sunday, thanks to penalty rates, this same pastry is $8.62. My jaw dropped. I bought the pastry but I won’t be buying from there again on a Sunday.
By any measure, this government is the worst since federation.

Tasmanian Greens target Wilkie seat, back Bandt on Israel
Matthew Denholm

Updated 38 minutes ago

Greens in the party’s birthplace, Tasmania, are eyeing Andrew Wilkie’s federal Hobart seat, and firmly backing federal leader Adam Bandt’s stance on Israel’s “genocidal, heinous” war in Gaza.
Greens MP Vica Bayley, speaking as acting leader, said the party, riding high after winning five seats at the March state election, had Mr Wilkie’s federal seat of Clark as “top of our list”.
“Clark is going to be on our agenda, there’s no doubt,” Mr Bayley told The Australian. “Clark is a seat we’ll always challenge strongly – select our best candidate and run a good, solid campaign.
“I’m 100 per cent confident that we can get there one day. Exactly when that is, and the circumstances, time will tell but it’s one that’s top of our list.”
While Mr Wilkie was a “strong incumbent” who would be “very, very difficult” to dislodge, recent state results had demonstrated the seat was increasingly turning to the Greens.
Tasmania’s state seats mirror its five federal seats and each elects seven MPs to the House of Assembly, under proportional representation.
Clark elected two Greens MPs at the March election – Mr Bayley and Helen Burnett — the same number as the two major parties, and the Greens secured more than 20 per cent of primary votes.

This is very simple. Unless you were a gunship pilot or a doorgunner – oh yeah, 5AVN were doing that then, so you weren’t – you’re a 120-decibel perfumed milquetoast and a conspiracy nuffer to boot using your service as a shield from any and all criticism.

This is a reference to the abundance of microsperes of iron oxide in the dust. The claim being they can only be produced at extremely high temperatures, thus thermite was used.
Microspheres of iron are produced in many ways.
Welding
Grinding
Ripping steel beams apart
Steel striking steel or another hard surface, eg concrete or rock
Fire (even a low intensity one) impacting the steel and ablating away microscopic particles.
All of the above were present either during construction of the WTC or as they fell.
“Active thermatic material” Sounds really really scary doesn’t it?
Given thermite itself is usually a mixture of iron oxide and aluminium oxide and given the WTC buildings would’ve been full of things aluminium and constructed from steel, not to mention the aircraft themselves, it’s not surprising in the least that oxides of these basic ingredients were found together in the dust.
However what that really really impressive and scary sounding report does not mention is the fact no one has found the residue of “burnt” thermite, (which leaves a very distinct signature when used to cut steel), in any of the debris from the two buildings.
One of those inconvenient little facts.
Like the lack of someone, anyone, “breaking the silence” after 23 years given the vast numbers of people who would’ve been privy to the plans and their execution.

Heartening to read and see images of the rally in London yesterday, organised by my hero Tommy Robinson, a man I regard as a modern Wat Tyler. Thousands of ordinary British men and women took to the streets to demand their country back from far-left Islamists and leftists. Thousands took to the streets, many draping themselves in the Union Jack and the Israeli flag. Those who spoke were Tommy, Laurence, Carl and others.

I’m not seeing an end to these attacks on Israel.
With Iran making drones in Russia, China supplying the Russians with all manner of equipment for the war in Ukraine, and conducting joint operations, I think the mask is coming off this axis and their aims.
Which is to pick apart the West, and their number one target is Israel.
I fear that embroiling Israel in as much conflict as possible and for as long as possible is the means, the aim is it’s isolation and it’s destruction,
With the benefit of hindsight, Israel should have ended the war on about the 9th October 2023. (ka-boom)

The World Is Small
The world is a small place after all! Away back in 1904 two of us, complete strangers to each other, were the only passengers on a mail coach bound from Muttaburra to Longreach, Western Queensland. At the latter town we parted, each going to destinations far apart.
Eleven years later, whilst watching some new reinforcements arrive for the unit to which I belonged in Egypt, I recognised amongst them my coach mate of 1906. That night I looked him up and old memories were revived.
The stage moves on another twenty one years, to be correct to Anzac Day, this year. A stranger in Sydney and not expecting to meet any of my unit, I had intended to take my place in the march with some friends belonging to a New South Wales battalion.
Delaying a time near the falling-in point, I was surprised and pleased to see a couple of familiar faces. I was more pleased still when I learnt that quite a number of my old unit, a Queensland one, were about and that we had had a place allotted us in the march.
Away the three of us went to find the others, and there lining up with some forty of the old mob was my old coach companion of 1906.
Both of us are inclining towards the sere and yellow, but I am wondering now when and where we are likely to meet again. Somewhere in the outback I suppose, unless the call comes again. —’Old Timer.’
21 May 1936
[‘Sere and yellow are descriptive of an autumn leaf. Thus “in the sere and yellow” is a metaphor for being near the end of one’s life. In the quoted passage, it is used to mean that he has not yet entered the autumn of his life, and is yet fit and hale.’] – Ed.

Anyone for pizza?
——————
Pizza
The man on the right was Raffaele Esposito. He revolutionized a dish considered “poor” in Europe and transformed it into a globally famous dish.
He was the inventor of the Margherita pizza. Today, you can find Margherita pizza in almost every pizza shop or pizza brand around the world.
Before this, pizza was a popular dish only in the poor neighborhoods of Naples, Italy, and it was made without cheese, with just tomato sauce, garlic, and oregano, known as Marinara pizza. But in 1889, during the visit of King Umberto I and Queen Margherita of Savoy to Naples, Chef Raffaele Esposito surprised the queen by preparing a pizza in the colors of the Italian flag.
He used red tomato sauce, white mozzarella, and green basil to create the flag on the pizza. Thus, in 1889, thanks to pizzaiolo Raffaele Esposito, we were introduced to the Margherita-flavored pizza in Naples.
This teaches us that creativity and innovation can turn something ordinary into something extraordinary. By thinking outside the box and addng a personal touch, even a humble dish can become a global sensation. This reminds us to embrace our creativity, strive for excellence, and recognize that even small changes can have a big impact.
Pizza Margherita, you need to put the mozzarella on top of the basil leaves, so the soluble oils cook through the animal fat- high and dry they just scorch and turn tasteless bitter.
Pineapple chunks can go anywhere, even in the stuffed crust, just as long as they’re fresh out of the tin.

I was tempted to redtick you for this blasphemy but I allowed for being contrarian.
Behave yourself.
What’s all this angst about pineapple on pizzas? Pineapple is a core ingredient.
If it hasn’t got pineapple, it isn’t even pizza.
Paris 2024 apologizes for ‘Last Supper’ sketch after criticism
A dishonest non-apology for abusing the access granted by the Olympics to grossly insult hundreds of millions of people.
Focusing on anti-Christian and anti-western themes, not having the balls to take on Muslims and the east in the same manner, tells it all.
I am in the western suburbs that used to be a blue-ribbon liberal seat that now has green reps at all levels. Don’t think it will change locally as
The super wealthy folks I know that voted green because of the environment have buyers remorse. It’s funny they never buy carbon offsets for all the travel they do.

I remember thinking the same thing in Spain. I don’t know if my observations are supported by statistics.
It struck me years ago when Michelle Payne won the Melbourne Cup on Prince of Penzance. Her brother Stevie has Downs and led the horse back to scale.
All the tall willowy blondes on morning teevee cooed about how “gorgeous” and “heart warming” it all was.
Except I knew they would all have the first trimester test for Downs and abort in a heartbeat if it was positive.
And be declared “stunning and brave” for doing so.

Indeed Sancho, it’s the measure of our brokenness that feeds the need to get rid of what has been portrayed as a challenge so great it must be killed. I remember being at a L’Arche retreat 20 years ago and met a family with 11 children the 11th being a Down’s Syndrome boy whom the family celebrated as a gift to their family – very heartening.
I know my life would not be as it has been, I would never have undertaken what was undertaken, were it not for the humanity and vulnerability of our son. The stoics laid out a banquet on adversity.
Re Barbara McCarthy
She will fail. You cant have an aborigine in charge of aboriginal affairs because the extended familial pressure is enormous. I wouldn’t wish it on any one.
That aside, she will also fail, for not highlighting the vast majority of aborigines who live very successfully in mainstream society.
She will fail because she is not meant to succeed. If there are no remote communities, then there is no need for rivers of cash to run down the industry feeding troughs.
But most of all, the children and women and men who barely exist in those communities will have been failed, sentenced to slavery for the cause.
