DOJ Turns on Joe Biden, Claims Hunter Biden Was Bribed by Romanian Oligarch to Influence US Policy When Biden Was Vice President
Hunter Biden certainly didn’t pay taxes on the bribe so it makes sense to add it to his tax case. But one would hope the new evidence also leads to conspiracy and bribery charges. Given the others likely involved a wide ranging RICO investigation seems possible as well.
And of course if the “Big Guy” took his %10 cut…
Thanks, Tom.
Square waves, I never heard of them. Dot they exist?
Apparently so.
—————-
Square waves are a dangerous maritime phenomenon where waves intertwine, creating a pattern that moves in multiple directions.
This phenomenon poses considerable risks for those who venture out into the water, as strong currents and sudden changes in wave direction make it difficult to stay afloat and increase the risk of drowning. In addition, square waves complicate navigation, making it more difficult to maneuver safely.
This phenomenon not only confuses swimmers but also poses a significant challenge for navigators due to the unpredictability and hazards of the aquatic environment.
Probably not everyone’s cup, but I liked her and some of the songs.

Judith Durham – A Tribute (John Cotton):-
This here is a tribute for Judith Durham, the Australian legend
On 5 August 2022, her life’s fine journey sadly came to an end
Beautiful, sublime and perfect are words to describe her voice
She was a wonderful singer, for many our number one choice
Her manner of speech and dress, had so much style and grace
She always had a hairstyle with a fringe and a nice smiling face
Her input to music in Australia made Judith a national treasure
As the lead singer of The Seekers, she gave us lots of pleasure
For many of us, The Seekers were Australia’s most loved band
With Judith doing the vocals, often with a tambourine in hand
Judith was an accomplished pianist, and a song writer as well
In her solo singing career she had many success stories to tell
Songs like Morningtown Ride and Georgy Girl, come to mind
With fond memories of Judith Durham, she was one of a kind
Imagine this happening regularly, the greenies would go apoplectic.

Everyone loved Judith Durham. She had the voice of an angel, pristine, pure, and deep. My favourite Durham song has always been The Carnival is Over, based on a old Russian folk song. My parents loved it, I still remember them playing it on the old record player, it’s a sensational song….

The only reason your ID is not hidden is because for many years on Sinc’s, and perhaps this version of the Cat, you had a link to your “Loaded Dogma” blog embedded with your name. Trying to drum up clicks which is fair enough but don’t try claiming it was for anything other than self promotion.
You also have the advantage, unlike many here, of not having to worry about a baying marxist mob descending on you for your opinions.
And you say you’re a rural white man yourself?
Well given the level of projection yesterday, barely hidden in your usual slur by inference MO…

A very odd article in the Oz about a very odd situation in the NT:
Alice Springs principal Gavin Morris warned of cops’ inaction, days before his shock arrest
A week before his shock arrest on Thursday for allegedly physically assaulting five young children, Gavin Morris recorded an interview in which he did not hold back.
Filmed on a phone on the grounds of Yipirinya School in Alice Springs, where Dr Morris has been the outspoken principal for the past three years, he told of his fears of an unfolding child protection crisis.
Dr Morris said he believed a man with access to some of the nation’s most vulnerable children needed to be thoroughly investigated over a raft of serious allegations raised by students and staff.
He had made a report to police about the man, an entrenched community figure, involving a number of children, and he and other staff and students were interviewed by detectives and gave statements.
The embattled and outspoken principal spoke to the Australian a week prior to being charged with multiple counts of aggravated assault against children.
“What we saw around that cluster of disclosures last year was a real spike in youth crime and anti-social behaviour targeted at our school,” Dr Morris said.
“The students involved, who stole buses, who drove around the community, put themselves at harm and the broader community in danger, they were trying to tell us something. They were saying ‘we want you to listen, you aren’t taking action, we shared our stories, we trusted you with our most vulnerable stories’.”
In the interview with The Weekend Australian on August 1, Dr Morris was frustrated by what he saw as a lack of action by Northern Territory police and the Territory Families department about the serious allegations.
‘I wouldn’t put my name and my face on the line here, if I wasn’t 100 per cent convinced that there’s a very serious story here.’ – Gavin Morris
With inquiries still ongoing into the concerns, Dr Morris’s comments had not been aired when he was hauled into the Alice Springs police watch-house and charged.
The former NRL referee with a PhD in Aboriginal trauma and bachelor’s and master’s degrees in education has rarely been far from either the media spotlight or a fight in his time at Yipirinya.
His series of running battles have generally centred on dire living conditions in Aboriginal town camps in Alice Springs, which he says is a central cause of a crime wave that has led to two recent government-imposed curfews.
It has earned Dr Morris, 46, both powerful friends and powerful enemies, some of the latter suspecting him of political ambitions.
But in no battle have the stakes been personally higher than the one he now faces for his livelihood, career and reputation.
Allegations against Dr Morris are understood to revolve around incidents of vandalism or trouble at the school, where the 375 enrolled students are taught in English and four Aboriginal languages.
One incident allegedly involves Dr Morris restraining children after windows had been kicked in and smashed, and another is alleged to have happened after paint was smeared throughout a room. Police said they had started looking at him only in late June.
The arrest of the principal leaked out when he was still in the watch-house waiting to be charged.
It was followed by two media releases from police and led to a storm of publicity, including commentary from NT Chief Minister Eva Lawler, two weeks out from a Territory election that is expected to be dominated by crime.
In Alice Springs, break-ins, hold-ups, car thefts, armed robberies and assaults involving children as young as eight are being documented daily on mainstream and social media, and some residents are in fear in their own homes, workplaces and public spaces.
Police initially announced “six victims” of Dr Morris were aged between eight and 13 “at the time of the assaults”, which were alleged to have occurred on “multiple separate occasions in 2023”. A police statement later reduced that to five counts of aggravated assault.
Dr Morris serves on the Alice Springs Town Council and took leave from his job as a lecturer at Charles Darwin University to lead Yipirinya. He spent hours in a cell waiting to be processed before being bailed.
Around the same time, police in Alice Springs had moved against another man in the community, laying a charge that flew entirely under the radar.
On Wednesday, July 31, this second, longstanding member of the community was served by police with a notice to appear in court on a charge of aggravated assault against a 13-year-old girl.
The 73-year-old has been accused of grabbing the girl by the arm and trying to drag her out of a car after a Sunday church service at the Aboriginal town camp known as Old Timers in February last year. He was not arrested or taken to the watch-house, and there were no public police statements, political commentary or any media coverage, unlike in Dr Morris’s case.
The Weekend Australian discovered the charge only after coincidentally approaching the ageing community figure at his home later that day to ask him about concerns in Alice Springs over his interactions with children.
Before being told what the concerns involved, the man replied: “We take them out for bush trips. I never molest them. I never touch them.”
Asked if someone had raised allegations of that type with him before, he said: “No. I love the kids. It’d be false accusations.”
He then volunteered that two police officers arrived at his home that morning and gave him a notice to appear in court in September for aggravated assault.
The officers “didn’t think it was very serious at all” and he was confident nothing would come of the charge.
He had “got angry” with a young girl who took other children away from town camp church services, he said. “I don’t think I ever touched her or anything. They’ve made a false accusation. She’s got some mental things. She’s caused trouble everywhere too,” he said.
Yipirinya School staff are among those who have been raising questions and concerns about the man, who has lived in Alice Springs and spent time in town camps for the past 40 years.
Dr Morris was talking to The Weekend Australian about these issues before his own arrest.
The principal said that in August last year, after a series of alleged disclosures at the school about the community figure, he spoke to staff and then phoned the acting commander of the Northern Territory police southern region, James Gray-Spence.
“He (Spence) was in the school 10 minutes later, and that night I had two detectives at my place interviewing me for a couple of hours,” Dr Morris said.
“They’ve subsequently come and interviewed staff and students. But nothing’s happened. Our community is crying out to find out what’s going on.”
The Weekend Australian put it to the community figure who Dr Morris had been talking about, that among other things he had been accused of hitting children.
“I’ve never done that. What I’ve done is, when they muck up in (his vehicle) I’ve got a wooden spoon, just a tap on the hand. Because they’re swearing or fighting. Once they see me waving it, they straighten up. Or if they are real naughty, they might hide under the seat,” the man said.
The man has a current Ochre Card from the government that clears him to work with children, he said. He denied he was ever alone with children, saying he always had another adult present.
However, only a day earlier, two Alice Springs residents say they saw him driving around in his vehicle with a young boy who should have been at school, with no other passengers.
Staunchly supported by some in the community including Aboriginal families he helps, the man said the allegations were “the devil’s work” and that he was not guilty of anything.
For an unknown reason he was being slandered and targeted as “payback”, he said. His cars had been stolen and written off, his home vandalised and two weeks ago a young boy he knew turned up at his home with a wheel spanner and “tried to kill me”.
He confirmed he had many interactions with children, from taking them swimming at the town pool to long drives to the isolated Ilparpa Claypans and Simpsons Gap. Regularly taking kids to McDonald’s and Hungry Jack’s, purchasing frozen drinks for children had become “one of my biggest expenses”, he said.
“Every Saturday we go out somewhere. I’m looking after the kids for them. I’m feeding them.
“The reason I take kids out is because I feel for them. They’re bored at the camps and hungry. I’ll get (a mother) and we’ll take them out and give them a treat.”
The man could not think of a reason the children he said he was helping were targeting him with home invasions and robberies.
“I know who’s done it. They have nothing against me, it’s just the stuff that they do,” he said.
When pressed to answer why he insisted he was never alone with children, he became angry, saying: “Get out.”
Then he calmed down and decided to continue to talk.
“If I have kids, it’s for their welfare, to feed them, look after them,” he said. “They’re making it up to condemn me, to slander me, because I’m a man of god, standing up for truth. The devil’s working, the enemy’s working.”
Residents say that over the past two years they have made a series of reports to the Northern Territory government about the community figure.
In the Territory, it’s legally required to report incidents of suspected child harm or abuse.
But the efforts of authorities so far have not been able to assuage doubts in the community that he is fit to have access to highly at-risk children.
“My experience has been that you make a phone call to Territory Families, through mandatory reporting, and you don’t see immediate action,” Dr Morris said.
“You certainly don’t get any follow-up in terms of whether something has been followed through or not.
“A lot of my staff come back to me dismayed. In this instance, for example, there were many comments made from the Territory Families representative that this story is well known.”
At about the same time that police were called to Yipirinya about the community figure last year, students broke into their school three times.
One group entered the office block, smashed open a key safe, randomly vandalised equipment and stole a vehicle.
In a separate incident last August, five children aged 10 to 12 ploughed a stolen car into a tree at 80km/h, none of them wearing seatbelts. Local residents say it was the community figure’s car.
The children were wheeled into hospital in neck braces and with green whistles for pain relief. Medical staff said they were lucky to be alive, Dr Morris said.
“It’s not normal to have 10, 12, 14-year-olds breaking into businesses and homes because they’re trying to get a message across,” the principal said before his arrest.
“I wouldn’t put my name and my face on the line here, if I wasn’t 100 per cent convinced that there’s a very serious story here that needs to be, firstly, uncovered and secondly, actioned upon.”
In a statement on Friday, the school council said it was “deeply concerned” by the serious allegations levelled against Morris and that “the safety, wellbeing and education of our students is our highest priority”.
Both the principal and the separate community figure now face battles to clear their names.
Nor had I until my first trip up the Qld coast in a little catamaran, when we surfed down a following wave while atop of an orthogonal swell – the latter’s direction due to being wrapped around an island. One hull was either side of the cross swell for only for a second or two, but it felt like we were surfing along the top of it for ages. Inside the reef so not that large.

Sublimely said, Bush.
I note yesterday how the Nazi got all huffy and puffy with me and used the word “Alinsky”. My goodness, did I roar with laughter at that, this is from someone who uses Alinsky here everyday against his ideological opponents. All I do is mop up his swill into a deep bucket and throw this bucket of swill back in his face and whadda you know, he doesn’t like it! Poor petal. This is someone who for years called Cardinal George Pell a ‘rock spider’ (he’s never retracted it), who for years has chortled with laughter whenever a conservative politician or commentator has been bashed, punched, pummelled or even shot with bullets (Tony Abbott, Andrew Bolt, Steve Scalise, Rand Paul), who for years has called anyone whose opinions he doesn’t like…’far-right’, and worse…’Nazi’ and suddenly the poor petal goes all sensitive about having to wear his swill.
But you wanna know the worst, the most egregious, as if the above wasn’t bad enough? The most egregious was last year, in March 2023, when he lost all credibility (not that he made much to begin with) when he described women such as myself trying to protect safe spaces from perverted cocks in frocks as ‘Nazis’, and when he sniggered, laughed out loud and justified on these pages when a woman was nearly lynched in an Auckland Park and several other women in that park were actually bashed.
I could go on.
Ya see, unlike the resident Nazi who always fantasises about punching Nazis, I’m not one for physical punches but I am one for literal punches, and I’ll punch away at this verminous progressive far-left hypocritical Nazi.
There are two Alinsky rules I like……
“Make the enemy live up to its own book of rules.”
“Keep the pressure on.”
That’s what you do with the left. You never give them an inch, you never concede. We’ve seen what concession and giving the left an inch does, we’re now living with the results, and they they aren’t pretty.
Oh, actually, make that three, here’s another Alinsky rule I like…
“Ridicule is man’s most potent weapon. There is no defense. It is almost impossible to counterattack ridicule. Also it infuriates the opposition, who then react to your advantage.”
Quite so.
Lastly, further to my comments during the week saying how Douglas Murray and Tommy Robinson say much the same thing about Islam and immigration, except that one is a Eton educated toff who is respected and who gets gigs on the MSM whilst the other is a working class yob from Luton who’s considered unclean, a pariah and who’s never given gigs on any MSM outlet, even conservative ones like GB News and Talk Radio…well….well….well….as we know the left have been baying for Robinson’s head over the last few days but now, guess what, they’re now baying for Murray’s head too. Overnight, that evil slime bag, Alistair Campbell, the same Alistair Campbell who along with Tony Blair did more than anyone to ruin the UK, is now lobbying UK Plod to arrest Douglas Murray.
You tell me, do we laugh or do we cry now?
I don’t think anything will deter, scare or frighten Douglas Murray, he won’t be silenced, just like I will not be silenced when it comes to rebutting our resident Nazi.
Last night I went to a synagogue Shabbat dinner and a prominent Jewish Australian was a guest. That person spoke well, very well, but remained uber polite and diplomatic. However, among the other guests, I can’t quite describe the seething anger towards Labor and the member for Grayndler and particularly towards Simon’s Skank aka the current member for Wentworth. It was palpable. Let’s hope the skank is gone at the next election.

At the dinner last night were a family of very religious London Jews, here for a family simcha.
We spoke about the soaring Jew hatred across the UK now, they said it is now stratospheric, and he confirmed that it is emanating from the left and Muslims. He confirmed that Jews now avoid central London on the weekend.
Central London, on Shabbat and on Sunday, is now Judenfrei.
I had a long conversation with both of them, but being Shabbat we try and talk about happier stuff. However we did speak about the UK Board of Deputies, an organisation now fully captured by the left, and he was contemptuous. The UK Board of Deputies is simply a far-left outlet, run by UK Labour hacks. It doesn’t speak for the community, who are very, very worried about the future. I mention this only because the other day the resident Nazi, who feigns knowledge but actually knows little (so much for him ‘getting educated) mentioned the Board of Deputies to try and rebut me. He failed to rebut me…..of course because he actually knows little about the state of Jewish communal organisations across the West, whereas I happen to know a lot more. Many of these longstanding communal organisations no longer represent the concerns of Jewish constituents, many have been hijacked by young Jewish activists to push far-left ideology. However there are now many alternative communal organisations who are ready to speak up for us, and they do, they are fearless.

New Housing and Homelessness Minister Clare O’Neil has promised “profound and transformative” investment to ease the housing crisis.
When pressed for detail she pointed to the Albanese government’s promise to build 1.2 million homes in 5 years.
The problem with that plan is that the number of new builds per year doesn’t keep up with immigration and the government is already 50% behind target. Nobody in the housing industry believes it can be done without pausing mass immigration and addressing the skills shortage.
When asked about declining approvals for new housing she opined that “there is no single solution”, contradicting her earlier statement.
She’s had at least two weeks to get across the details of the portfolio and identify the problems but shows no sign of having done so.
She’s a dud.
The buck teeth are the finishing touch.

Rockdoctor, further to my nested comment on your 8.48am post, yes, it would appear that icing is a prime suspect in the Brazilian ATR72 crash.
But the bigger problem for mining guys like you is you never travel on small, recently invented Third World airlines like Voepass, which is asking for trouble.
Handling problems like the icing of pitot tubes (wing sensors) requires a long track record of success when you have to choose an airline.
John Pike’s book “Vietnam and the Cold War 1945 – 1954” points out that the defeats suffered by the French, along the border with China, in 1950, were of the same magnitude as that suffered at Dien Bien Phu, four years later.Interesting reading.

Re the ATR crash, the videos are horrifying. Some sort of stall. It looked like part of the tail was missing but on second look I’m not sure. Someone with more expertise than me (I have none) might comment.
I do remember the ATRs had some sort of icing issues in the 90s that caused a few devastating crashes, but i wouldn’t have a clue about the conditions in Brazil. It must have been terrifying for everyone on board.

In yet more Trump dementia news, he made up a story about how he once took a helicopter ride with Willie Brown who told him some wildly salacious stuff about Kamala Harris, and they almost crashed.
The man he rode with was Jerry Brown, there was no talk of Harris, and the chopper didn’t have any troubles.
Trump made it all up.

Crazy lady and her husband then:
* Consult the CDC website
* Call their health care after-hours line
* Call the county animal control center that sends an officer out in 10 minutes to inspect the house (officer finds nothing and writes a report to the county public health department)
* GO TO THE EMERGENCY ROOM ?
* GET TWO RABIES SHOTS, ONE IN EACH ARM ??
* Pay “$600 E.R. copays with heftier hospital bills to come” ???
* ALL BECAUSE OF A BAT THAT DID NOT TOUCH THEM AND FLEW AWAY. ?
Crazy lady then:
* Writes an Op Ed for the @nytimes on how Donald Trump would destroy the administrative state (that makes her beloved hypochondria possible).
* Concludes the Op Ed by saying that she’s supporting Kamala Harris because “I live in the United States of America — land of bats, land of doctors, land of public health — and that’s worth fighting for.” ?
* The geniuses at the @nytimes then publish her piece in the Sunday Opinion Section read by millions. ?
My reflections on this piece:
* Vaccines in general and Covid in particular broke the brains of progressives.
* These people are now completely insane.
* You do not need a rabies shot if you happen to see a bat.
* Hypochondria is a serious mental illness; @BelleBoggs needs psychological counseling not rabies shots.
* Articles like this convince of the urgent need to abolish the administrative state.
* The grifters in public health need to stop taking advantage of crazy Democrats who are not thinking straight.

Greetings fellow kids!
I have a weeks-long battle with our good friends the NBN.
A tale of woe in the country: every time I go to Mums house the internet is out and I spend a few hours getting it working whether for me or other family. NBN 3G, its just beside a small town but the mobile phone tower is 5 km away on the highway. So after weeks trying to get a refund for awful service I scrapped the service entirely. Now we will go back to steam telephony, probably with a manual operator if Telstra is up to their usual.
Meanwhile, the 4G internet at my crib (:::-) is very unreliable, dropping out for longtime and I hateses it. So I called up the same people as before and ASKED for NBN, fibre to the kerb.
As I ended the call, my electrician was finishing up. Turned out he used my Telstra wall socket to put in a switch for the fan! So weeks later I got the NBN, sourced the NBN box and a day or two of messing its looking good!
Before I got: 21 Mbps download, 2.18 Mbps upload.
Now I get: 42 Mbps download, 21.2 Mbps upload.
Feels like i’m winning. We will seel

Israeli strike kills senior Hamas commander in south LebanonAFP
1 hours ago
3 comments
An Israeli strike on a vehicle in the south Lebanon city of Sidon on Friday killed a Hamas commander, the Palestinian militant group and the Israeli military said.
It is the first strike of its kind in Sidon since Hamas launched its October 7 attack on Israel, triggering war in Gaza and prompting its Lebanese ally Hezbollah to begin trading near-daily cross-border fire with the Israeli army in a bid to tie down its troops.
Hamas said in a statement that its “commander” Samer al-Hajj was killed “in a Zionist strike in the city of Sidon”.
In a separate statement, the group’s armed wing, the Ezzedine al-Qassam Brigades, called Hajj a “field commander”, saying his death was an “assassination”.
A Lebanese security source said “an Israeli strike targeted a Hamas movement security official from the Ain al-Helweh camp while he was inside his vehicle in the city of Sidon.” The source requested anonymity as they were not authorised to speak to the media.
Ain al-Helweh and other refugee camps were created for Palestinians who were driven out or fled during the 1948 war that accompanied Israel’s creation.
The Israeli military said that its aircraft struck the Sidon area and “eliminated” Hajj, whom it identified as “a senior commander” for Hamas in Lebanon.
It said Hajj “was responsible for advancing terror attacks and projectile launches from Lebanon toward Israeli territory”, and that he was “the military forces’ commander in the Ain al-Helweh camp… and was responsible for the recruitment and training” of operatives.

Lots of heat about Keating’s remarks on Australia’s security arrangement but where is he actually wrong?
Instead of asking people to prove a negative, why not tell us exactly where you think he’s right?
Do I go get a twitter account and bait this richardhead full of his own importance? I feel like it, I am never going to be in a British or British Overseas Territory ever in my life and I don’t think short of death threats that the Australian or even most overseas authorities would even spend any time on with how every country is busy with internal matters.

WTF really?
This doesn’t apply to all sheilas, obviously. For the past decades, women have been on the bandwagon, dissing men and demanding more power and influence. Okay, now that they “have it all,” let them sort this out.
For this bloke to win the female boxing medal, ask why women got into the ring with him in the first place, as they knew they would get a beating. They could have boycotted the entire event.
I don’t think he’s wrong per se in terms of what our national interests in the region are, but he’s conveniently ignoring 82 years of history.
At what point in our history since the fall of Singapore were we capable of defending our nation and its approaches and trade routes without an alliance with the US?
We should have been working towards that goal but we didn’t, not even in the Hawke-Keating years.
This Walz imbecile was voted governor of his state – Minnesota. The stuff coming out about his lies about service, cowardly behavior and stolen valor has been around for a long time. He been elected twice!
Wasn’t this known before and if so why didn’t it make a dent? If it didn’t make a dent then, why would it in the presidential election?
The press seem to be awfully quiet about the anti-minority violence (especially against Hindus) in Bangladesh.
I haven’t actually asked anyone to prove a negative.
Well, you’re shifting the burden of proof on others, and away from yourself, demanding people defend the negative (what’s wrong), so it is. But in any event let me ask you what you think is right about his position.

We’ve been able to defend our sea lanes and continent from peer enemies for that history. Any attempt to control those assets by a superior enemy would have curtailed US interests whether or not we were their junior partner. Given the difficulties involved in a seaborne invasion of Taiwan, those are only magnified given the distances involved re Australia.

Calli—thanks for the link to the art website. Some great works on there. I like this one.
I’ve simply asked for people to point out what they think is wrong. That isn’t asking them to ‘prove’ anything, let alone ‘prove the negative’ because that isn’t proving something is wrong but that something didn’t happen.
You haven’t even gone to the effort of giving one or two points against Keating’s argument, but went straight into asking me what’s right with it. Anyway, he’s right that the bargain is far more favourable to the US than it is to us. They will progressively turn us into their forward operations area in a fight between themselves and China in a fight that isn’t in our interests.
Oh God! I have to share this!

DB I am surprised you think there will be an actual “fight”. The way the world is going the US will be too preoccupied to take on a major conflict in the Pacific.
On the hand, I cant see any invasion by China. They simply wouldn’t need to invade. Terms would be agreed to & bingo…we are a vassal state to China supplying all that they want in terms of mineral and agricultural products…..
BTW I think that Keating is an old s–t.

It’s not exactly an open and straight-forward question, is it? It’s not as though it was difficult to glean the direction you’re coming from after your previous posts on China.
You’re asking “what’s wrong,” and without putting your position forward, you’re placing the burden on others to prove their position to you. It’s asking to prove a negative.
Jeez louise. It takes you sometimes three days (one time a week) to respond to comments—well, after the conversation has become stale and one has to go back to reexamine the most minute points you raise. You’re not exactly speedy Gonzales when it comes to this, and you want a quick reply? Seriously?
He couldn’t be more wrong. We’re dealing with a fascist nation that has had around 14 wars and serious border skirmishes post-World War II, frequently making threats and insisting a sovereign nation belongs to the CCP. It insists an important waterway is theirs and bullies its neighbors continuously. It’s growing its navy at a rapid rate, and you expect us to take the CCP at their word—that they have peaceful intentions. They broke the agreement to keep Hong Kong as a separate political entity.
You expect Australia to do away with its most important alliance and credit the CCP with peaceful, non-threatening intentions.
Would you have said the same thing about Germany’s annexations in the 1930s, before the war began in earnest?

Cackles rooted willie to get ahead.
Willie was a corrupt bigwig in californication
When cackles moved on from him willie was displeased
Trump had dealings with willie as he did with most of the US
Trump was on a helicopter in the early 1990s which almost crashed
Nat holden is another californication demorat bigwig who is now claiming it was him not willie with Trump on the helicopter which almost crashed

Restricting access to our important sea-lanes. Are you dreaming we have a 400 ship navy?
They’re nasty and aggressive throughout the region, and there’s no reason to believe this will change with the CCP. Other than a couple of islands spotted across the Pacific, the only country siding with the CCP is north Korea (and Russia :-). That’s a tell in itself.
You see it as a problem, whereas people see it as a security blanket and happy to remain that way.

Got asked today whether the Russians believe in Global Warming. My guess was no. Why, because if they did it would be plastered all over the ABC and Guardian etc. Also, I seem to recall reading that the Russians have some of the top astrophysicists in the world and have long term expertise in studying the influence of the planets on earth. Anyone here care to help as this came from a house guest and it will come back at breakfast.
It is interesting watching Starmer attacking the Kulaks (anybody with savings, thus middle class) as well as the treasonous working class who refuse to accept the barbarian invasion.
But he very carefully avoids any criticism of the upper class who enabled his election by destroying the Conservatives. He well understands that the upper class/corporate class share his class bigoteries and hatred of anyone capable of independant living, but he also knows that they are capable of crushing him and his third eleven ministeries. Liz Truss was a warning.
Our very own Starmer wannabe must be wetting himself with joy over Labour’s plans to destroy personal wealth. He won’t propose it himself but his mates the Greens will and he will be forced to go ahead through “community demand”.

The ABC have been running tinged clothes articles forever.
There was a series called The War on Waste they ran some years back.
The compere was the so-called comedian Craig Reucassel.
Was fairly predictable but there were some standout bits. One was the big supermarkets rejecting bananas unless they were “bent enough” – the bananas not the supermarkets.
Another was a posse of young Melbourne ladies who admitted buying about 50 items of clothes a year, and not even wearing some before they tossed them. Apparently it’s de rigeur to throw out your clothes from last year as the fashions change.
Me, I have a few shirts from 30 years back, although Mrs TE goes on raiding expeditions sometimes without warning, so they are an endangered species.
UK journalist Ian Haworth (not Jewish)….
No Jews, no news
Me too, except for Jews
Bring back our girls, unless they are Jews
Believe all women, unless they’re Jewish women
This is the double standard of anti-Semitism, that guarantees Jews will always lose
If you look at history…
Jews have been too poor, Jew have been too rich
Jews have been too religious, Jews have not been religious enough
Jews don’t assimilate, Jews assimilate too much
Jews have been stateless, then they have a state
Jews are lazy, Jews are way too successful
Jews are capitalists, Jews are communists
Jews can’t win.
I buy too many clothes and shoes.
I buy too much craft fabric.
I bet I win by weight of stuff! 😀

Musk having rhetorically asked “Why does the UK media, with a few exceptions, just parrot the government?” this week, Mr Farage responded and observed: “it’s dead simple… When everyone gets together with groupthink”.
The prevailing view is open borders at all costs, even if arrivals don’t speak the language or share the culture, and in spite of the clearly detrimental impact on the younger generations who can’t get housing as the population booms, he said.
Mr Farage continued: “You see for them to ever admit — all of them, the Conservative, Labour Parties and mainstream media — to admit they got it wrong would be to go against the world view they have held for decades. They believe they are ‘be kind’, lovely people. And anyone that believes in borders, culture, community, country, are somehow the bad dudes… It is groupthink, it is refusal to accept they’ve got it horribly, horrible wrong as we’ve seen on the streets of our country this week.”

Yesterday my tourist homework was the Hunt museum.
The Hunts were antique dealers and amateur archelogists who moved England to Ireland in 1940.
I presume because Mrs Hunt was German though they didn’t say.
Experts on this and that they donated their personal collection to Ireland in 1976.
It’s quite amazing with ‘museum quality’ pieces from all over the world from pre history to the present.
Not a single piece is publically provenanced though there is a suggestion that one South American piece is controversial.
I love knowing the history of items so that was disappointing, though not at all surprising.
Some of the Irish stuff is bog finds. They have a Picasso poster from 1899, when he bothered to make real artistic effort and a Renoir watercolour in a drawer.
There is also some nice English/Irish medieval stained glass that someone must have saved from the destruction of Henry 8 and Cromwell.

The leaders of BLM are confessed “trained marxists” and what they unleashed on the US was nothing short of baying marxist mobs. Police and ordinary citizens killed, some of them because they owned a business (of course making them a member of the oppressor class). These are the sort of people who come for conservative voices.
It doesn’t matter where you grow up there a racist people, it seems you were in a hotbed of it. It certainly rubbed off, and if not overt racism you certainly exhibit more than average levels of intolerance for people “not like you or of your ideas”.
I can’t comment on this and will have to take your educated word for it.
All I know is if a person is acting like a cock-head then they are acting like a cock-head whether they be black, white, yellow or red. It would seem you require an “education” to work that out rather than some basic moral judgement. Each to his own I suppose.
Because I’m uneducated I’m not sure what this means. Was it meant as a zinger?
I’m not sure, but one thing I do know is it would be a waste of time to get into a moralistic pi$$ing contest with someone who can’t define what a Fascist is but slings the term around anyway as a slur on those he disagrees with.

Clearly the TGA agreed pricing is not globally competitive, so we are left to import fluids from second choice manufacturers (i.e. from places where the inhabitants eat with their hands) until the next round of price negotiations.
TGA would rather have shortages of vital materials than have their price setting power revealed to be impotent in the face of global inflation.
I need to stop reading these things…

Rather grim statistic from John Pike’s book on Vietnam and the Cold War – of 11,000 French prisoners captured at Dien Bien Phu, seventy percent died on the march, or in captivity. The survivors were released after four months in captivity.
Of, and of the French garrison, twenty six percent were members of the Foreign Legion – circa 70 % of those were German.

Ice could be an issue.
When people are talking about “an IV shortage”, what do they actually mean?
Components?
Bags?
Tubes?
Canulas?
Infusion solutions?
What?
“The best counter to racism is”
Christianity.
And calling your grandfather’s war related antipathy to and distrust of Japanese and Italians racism is nonsense.
They were the enemy and the Japanese treatment of war prisoners including civilians particulary worthy of condemnation.
Australian prejudices, as these things go, are benign in comparison to those exhibited overseas.
Right now in Bangladesh muslims (again) are raping and murdering Hindus.
These are the ingrained, practically unsolvable prejudices we should be concerned about.
I’ve finished the Elizabeth George, as a whodunit it’s somewhat weak but as an American looking at Pakistani culture in the UK, ouch.
She tries to paint the patriach as the true muslim, but really the son is the archetype.
I don’t think that book would be written today.
Starmer is crushing the UK Far Right with expedited justice; nicked, beak, bollocking, bin – all within a few days.
Speed is of the essence.
Identities and details of offenders are published prior to trial and publicly denounced as Far Right criminals as they are convicted. Part of the process.
“Dealt with within a week”. It’s what you can expect if you want to get involved with violent protest, you Nasty scum.
Except if you happen to be Ricky Jones, Labour councillor and union organiser, and have stood up in front of a mob and (with gestures) called for Far Right throats to be cut.
If you are lucky enough to be Ricky, you find yourself remanded in custody until a pre-trial preparation hearing on 6 September.
In preparation for a ‘figure of speech’ guilty plea, leading to a ‘You have disgraced yourself, and have suffered significantly as a result…’ community service order.
Jaswant Narwal, the chief crown prosecutor for the Crown Prosecution Service – London North, said:
This will not play well.
Technical Note: There is no such thing as two tier justice in the UK. Anyone even suggesting or implying this obviously deserves condign punishment.

Crying racism when people distrust x or y group is also inherently illogical.
If you have been home invaded by Sudanese youth you are going to be wary of Sudanese youth at your door and most likely not want much to do with Sudanese in general.
If muslim men have sexually abused your daughters, you’re going to have issues with muslim men hanging around young girls of English descent and so on, especially when the muslim community excuse justify and cover up the behaviour.
They were the enemy and the Japanese treatment of war prisoners including civilians particulary worthy of condemnation.
Quite so, not to mention the Nanking massacres and rapes.

Prejudice and discrimination are frequently conflated.
Having a prejudicial attitude towards an individual or group (or type of music/food/holiday destination/sporting team, etc.) comes as a result of a variety of factors, including your own life experience.
Discrimination is when you ACT on your prejudices, and deny an individual or group employment, housing, financial assistance (bank loans), etc.
‘Racism’ used to be when one’s prejudices were acted out detrimentally to someone on account of their racial or ethnic origin.
Now a racist is any person of western European/Caucasian heritage.
We’ve been programmed to believe that we (meaning our social betters) can control the thoughts of each individual; categorise them into ‘Acceptable’ or ‘Unacceptable’ depending upon the tribe they belong to, and apply the desired sanction.
What an utter waste of effort and energy.
But the question was straightforward.
No, I simply asked people what they thought was wrong with Keating’s argument. And again you misunderstand what proving a negative is.
I expect Australia to act in its strategic interests.
China isn’t our peer enemy.
Wrong. Indonesia and Malaysia aren’t antagonistic to China, even the Vietnamese are hedging, and India is warming to China and preparing to settle their existing disputes. Even the Phillipines don’t want to be dragged by the US into a war with China because of their economic relationship to the latter.
It’s not a security blanket, it’s a massive bulls eye.
