Hi from Lisbon. Today’s historical walk was conducted by a guide with a Sociology degree who had turned to being a guide on graduation. (Do NOT say “do you want fries with that?”)
It only took about 30 minutes for him to start expounding about the evils of the Portugese explorers and conquerors. Some black lady from America asked him whether reparations should be paid and they fully agreed. I expect they got together later in regard to breeding.

Georgia “Tiny” Broadwick (1893-1978), the “doll girl.”
Married at age 12, a mother at age 13, abandoned by her husband by age 15. Joined Charles Broadwick’s World Famous Aeronauts and traveled the country jumping from balloons.
Became the first woman to jump from an airplane, one built and piloted by Glenn Martin, over Chicago in September, 1912.
Asked to demonstrate parachuting to the U.S. Army in 1914. On her fourth jump, the static line became entangled with the plane’s tail.
Georgia cut it and pulled what remained, thereby inventing the ripcord. You can see her on You Tube on To Tell the Truth.
Milk for the nation.
——————–
In the 1940s, was a city grappling with the effects of World War II, including food shortages and rationing.
Amidst these challenges, a milk vending machine represents a fascinating glimpse into how urban life adapted to the needs of its residents during this period.
The milk vending machine, a relatively novel concept at the time, was designed to provide a convenient way for Londoners to access fresh milk amidst the constraints of wartime.
This machine would have been an important addition to the urban landscape, offering a practical solution to the difficulties of obtaining fresh dairy products during a time of scarcity.
Typically, these machines were placed in strategic locations, such as near residential areas or public spaces, to ensure accessibility for busy city dwellers.
The design of the machine likely featured a metal exterior with a glass window to showcase the milk and a simple mechanism for dispensing the product.
Customers could insert coins to receive a measure of milk, which was then dispensed into a container they provided.
During the 1940s, with rationing affecting many aspects of daily life, the introduction of vending machines for milk helped streamline the distribution process and ensure a more consistent supply.
These machines were a testament to the ingenuity and resilience of Londoners during a difficult time.
The image of a milk vending machine from this era captures the spirit of innovation and adaptability that characterized wartime London. It reflects both the challenges faced and the creative solutions implemented to meet the needs of the population.

From the Oz.
Lia Finocchiaro, the first political leader to topple a Labor government in six years, immediately marshalled crime-fighting resources to deal with the Top End’s law and order crisis as she predicted her party’s victory could be a template for conservative oppositions across the nation.
The gravity of the crisis in Alice Springs that helped end eight years of Labor rule in the Northern Territory was evident after polls closed on Saturday, when police were called to deal with what one described as “one of the worst nights of carnage”. Roaming vandals damaged more than 60 cars, smashed hundreds of windows and attacked at least eight businesses in the small Central Australian town.
On Sunday, more violence spilled on to the streets after a football match where people fought with weapons, including a hatchet, a baseball bat and sticks.
Ms Finocchiaro on Sunday met with police commissioner Michael Murphy and the head of the Department of Chief Minister Ken Davies during which she and Mr Murphy had “a lengthy discussion about my expectations on law and order”.

My wife worked at Rocketdyne many years ago, and told me that Aerojet has been putting its own people in charge there ever since the acquisition. Aerojet wasn’t a liquid rocket engine manufacturer, and has now converted Rocketdyne into an incompetent liquid rocket engine manufacturer.
Well that certainly sounds serious.

‘Get out as quickly as you can’, Watt warns Australians in Lebanon
Government frontbench minister Murray Watt says the government is “very concerned” about the escalating hostilities in the Middle East, following Israel and Hezbollah trading blows.
“It was very disturbing to see this occur yesterday,” Senator Watt told ABC TV.
“Our advice is for Australians who are in Lebanon they should get out as quickly as they can. That’s something the government has been saying for some time now.
“But the events overnight underline the importance of people getting out. We have advised people not to travel to Lebanon because of the risk involved. I would be encouraging anyone who has friends and relatives in Lebanon to be encouraging them to get out as quickly as they can, while commercial flights are still available.”
Can’t remember where I saw it but there is a graph showing all the Gazans western countries have taken in since 7 Oct. Australia was 3 X all the other countries combined.

It’s a little more complicated in Russia. See the highlighted sentence.
Russia
Main article: Blocking of Telegram in Russia
On 16 May 2017 Russian media reported that Roskomnadzor was threatening to ban Telegram. On 13 April 2018, Telegram was banned in Russia by a Moscow court, due to its refusal to grant the Federal Security Service (FSB) access to encryption keys needed to view user communications as required by federal anti-terrorism law.[Enforcement of the ban was attempted by blocking over 19 million IP addresses associated with the service. However they included those used by Amazon Web Services and Google Cloud Platform, due to Telegram’s use of the providers to route messages. This led to unintended collateral damage due to usage of the platforms by other services in the country, including retail, Mastercard SecureCode, and Mail.ru‘s Tamtam messaging service. Users used VPNs to bypass the ban as a result. On 17 April 2018, Russian authorities asked Apple and Google to pull the service from their stores as well as APKMirror, however Apple and Google refused the request.] On 28 March 2018, Roskomnadzor reportedly sent a legally binding letter to Apple asking it to remove the app from the Russian version of its App Store and block it from sending push notifications to local users who have already downloaded the app.] On 27 December 2018, the largest search engine in Russia, Yandex, removed telegram.org from their search results.[citation needed] On 18 June 2020, the Russian government lifted its ban on Telegram after it agreed to “help with extremism investigations”.
I’m guessing the Frogs will have him up on child porn charges.
I find arresting him is a fool’s choice though. The arrest has immediately implies that every senior exec at Telegram is at risk and now they won’t travel to risky places. Arresting him makes little difference to the operation.
Not a policy wonk then.
This poisonous pos should’ve been deported ages ago and sent back to Ukraine to fight in front line. Better still, deported to Russia.

Indeed.
Technical Notes:
All this information has been in government hands for years (vide the Gas Infrastructure Plan). None of the problems now rearing out of the long grass were unanticipated; in fact they have all been explained in tedious detail at all levels of government.
Australia falls into a strategic gas supply hole somewhere between now and 2028 – exacerbated by the growth in intermittent demand for backup electricity generation as key coal fired generation is retired.

What “MAGA” really means
The phrase has troubled liberals who think it is a call for a return to an America before civil rights, gay rights, and women’s rights. But I have a more generous interpretation, one that is truer to my experience of Donald Trump as he is today. “Make America Great Again” recalls a nation brimming with vitality, with a can-do spirit, with hope and a belief in itself.
It was an America that was beginning to confront its darker shadows, could acknowledge the injustice in its past and present, yet at the same time could celebrate its successes. It was a nation of broad prosperity, the world’s most vibrant middle class, and a idealistic belief (though not consistently applied) in freedom, justice, and democracy. It was a nation that led the world in innovation, productivity, and technology. And it was the healthiest country in the world.
I have talked to many Trump supporters. I have talked with his inner circle. I have talked to the man himself. This is the America they want to restore.
Finally! We can party like it’s 1985. Those were the days; you could go for a stroll in Miller’s Point and wonder if it was etiquette to step over or around some minor colourful racing identity bleeding out on the footpath in front of his mum’s place.
That’s gone; we live in the post truth world. We can’t trust authority and we can’t trust “the science”.
I think the first word I really used a lot was “why?” It drove my poor mother bonkers. I still remember her standard desperate reply…”Y is a crooked letter & you can’t make it straight!”
I had no idea what she was talking about & it really annoyed me. But after all these years I feel so sorry that we could not have connected better. Dad was more on my wavelength, although he had only a very basic education. Towards the end of his life we had many many deep discussions re “the meaning of life”. I know that he cherished those discussions.
BREAKING NEWSCharlise Mutten’s killer Justin Stein is sentenced to life in jail without parole
Daily Mail.
Speaking of Good riddance!
Good essay on some of the reasons why a cackles regime will completely root the US:
Democrats ended their four-day convention on Thursday with a vacuous speech by the party’s installed candidate, Kamala Harris. Her short stint on the main stage made the regime media, which has blessed her with 84 percent positive news coverage since the Pelosi coup according to one analysis, drunk with joy.
Harris, like the roster of speakers before her, spent most of the speech demonizing her general election opponent and repeating one of the party’s most consistent campaign themes: Donald Trump will use his authority to vanquish his foes should he return to the White House. “Consider…his explicit intent to jail journalists, his political opponents, and anyone he sees as the enemy,” Harris claimed.
Other DNC speakers similarly warned that a Trump presidency would result in the mass arrest and incarceration of Democrats. Michigan State Senator Mallory McMorrow warned that Trump “would be able to weaponize the Department of Justice to go after his political opponents.” McMorrow, who must have missed the news of the armed nine-hour raid of Mar-a-Lago in August 2022, further insisted Trump would “turn the FBI into his own personal police force.”
“That is not how it works in America. That’s how it works in dictatorships!” McMorrow shouted.
Now, one can agree with McMorrow and others that the full weight of the federal government’s law enforcement operation should not be used to settle political scores. That sort of thing is indeed the stuff of banana republics.
And it is exactly what’s been happening in America since January 2021.
Not only did the DOJ and FBI open criminal investigations into Donald Trump resulting in two unprecedented federal indictments against a former president, the Biden/Garland/Monaco DOJ prosecuted and imprisoned two of Trump’s longtime confidantes—Peter Navarro and Steve Bannon, who is currently behind bars in Connecticut—and assisted other politically-motivated prosecutions against Trump in New York and Georgia.
The Threat of Attorney General Matthew GravesFurther, the prosecution of Americans who protested Joe Biden’s election on January 6 is active and ongoing. During the course of the DNC convention, U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia Matthew Graves announced the arrest of seven individuals for their participation in the Capitol protest more than three-and-a-half years ago. (At least half reside in swing states including North Carolina, Michigan, and Pennsylvania, an effective way to keep the “insurrection” in the headlines.)
And as Graves gradually closes in on his promised caseload of 2,000 J6ers—his latest press release boasts that “more than 1,488 individuals have been charged in nearly all 50 states for crimes related to the breach of the U.S. Capitol”—the impeachment report released this week by House Republicans confirmed that Graves refused to consider prosecuting Hunter Biden for tax evasion, something whistleblowers disclosed to Congress last year.
Special Counsel David Weiss asked Graves in early 2022 to partner with his office in bringing charges against Hunter Biden for tax crimes committed in Washington in 2014 and 2015; a decision needed to be made quickly as the statute of limitations was about to expire. But Graves rejected Weiss’ request.
“On March 19, 2022, Graves met with five or six members of his office…where they decided not to partner with Weiss’s office on prosecuting the Hunter Biden case.” As a result of that decision, the report noted, “Weiss was unable to bring charges in D.C.”
Now that sort of brazen bootlicking does not go unrewarded in the nation’s capital, which is precisely why Graves is very likely Harris’ top candidate for attorney general if she wins in November.
And Graves’ cover-up of the Biden family crime racket and the continued prosecution of J6ers aren’t the only reasons why Harris would choose Graves…….

When will mothers, who deliberately put their children’s lives in danger, be made accountable for their actions?
Too often children are abused and murdered because their mothers choose to associate with and/or shack up with highly undesirable males who shouldn’t be anywhere near children. These males are usually not the biological fathers of the children.
Charlise Mutten’s mother was supposed to be ‘clean’ of drugs, she’d assured Charlise’s grandparents and biological father of this, hence Charlise was allowed to travel down from Brisbane to Sydney to stay with her. The little girl was excited to spend time over the Christmas holidays with her mother and her mother’s wealthy lover.
But the mother being ‘clean’ was a lie, a big, monstrous lie. Instead the mother was intimately involved with the hideous creature called Stein. The two had met in rehab and ‘connected’. It was a connection made in hell. The mother clearly thought her life was going to be a bed of roses with Stein because Stein had the dosh to buy the drugs, and the two of them could ride off into the sunset together.
The mother also bears responsibility for her child’s savage murder. She’s since had Stein’s child.
Little Charlise should be still alive today, instead her life was taken from her by a monster. Hear this, Charlise was put in that mortal danger by the very person who should have kept her safe, her mother.
Charlise deserved better. I hope her soul is at peace.

Incoming NT chief minister will hold police portfolio
By Caroline SchelleTurning to news in the Northern Territory, where the incoming chief minister Lia Finocchiaro held a press conference in Darwin.
The Country Liberal Party won the election in the territory over the weekend, and Finocchiaro said it would get to work tackling crime in the territory.
“I will honour the commitment to make sure that as chief minister I will also hold the police portfolio, so that community safety is the number one priority of our government and our police know they will be supported,” she said.
The territory’s police commissioner Michael Murphy would also continue his role to “drive change and support” in the force, and she added that she also spoke to the NT Police Association president.
“It’s very, very important to me and to my entire team that we steadily fix the direction of the Northern Territory,” she said.
It was particularly important that there was a “whole of government response” to addressing law and order.

Preferring to not become a prisoner of Japan, Brown is reported as last having been seen loaded with ordnance & heading toward Japanese positions, to take as many with him as he can manage.
Heywood teamed up with several other like types as Singapore fell, one of whom was Brown.
Heywood writes that Brown & several others commandeered a small craft & made it to Java.

Hamas chief Yahya Sinwar ‘hides in plain sight dressed as a woman to dodge capture’ – World News – Mirror Online
Today, the following citation from Isaiah 6:8 is very relevant. For some reason, it makes emotion well up in my heart.
Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, “Whom shall I send? … And who will go for us?” And I said, “Here am I. … Send me!”.
Mossad is so politically captured and compromised by the far-left that the organisation it manages to terminate Ismail Haniyeh in the middle of Shia Tehran, and it manages to terminate Hezbollah commander Fuad Shukr in the middle of Beirut.
Shin Bet is so politically captured and compromised by the far-left that the organisation manages to regularly hunt down and kill Palestinian terrorists in Tulkarm, and other West Bank towns.
I’d never seen this before.
A comedy skit with Trump.

The Melbourne Symphony Orchestra is now wearing a skinsuit.
https://www.abc.net.au/news/2024-08-26/mso-pianist-gaza-comments-peter-garrett-hired/104270642
The Melbourne Symphony Orchestra’s managing director has left the organisation, amid controversy over the orchestra’s handling of a pianist’s onstage comments about the war in Gaza.
An investigation into the MSO’s policies around “artistic expression on stage” has also been commissioned, to be led by former Midnight Oil frontman and ex-Labor minister Peter Garrett.
After eight years of service which nobody complained about, the Managing Director, Sophie Galaise, was forced out by supporters of Hamas.
Now they have hired a former rock musician and Labor Minister to review their policies.
I hope that every Jewish supporter of the MSO closes the chequebook with a loud SNAP!
At least they have stopped making them ‘Australian of the Year’.
I could not believe what I heard on the bloke next to me phone. He’s on speaker so I hear both ends of the conversation. The duks have managed to do a complicated op that is a third of what he needs but the rest probably won’t be able to be done. Its given him anothe couple of years maybe more. His wife says “I can’t cope, I need you home”. If I’d hadn’t held my tongue I’d liked to have reached down the line and slapped her into next week. He wasn’t going to last till Christmas and here’s this so’n’so bitching about herself not coping. He’s going to be dead you self centred cow. Cope then. I’m ropeable.
Just because former or present officials of Mossad, Shin Bet or the IDF have opinions contrary to those of Likud or don’t particularly like Netanyahu or think he’s Coalition with Smotrich and Gvir is poison doesn’t mean they are Leftist, certainly in any way analogous to the Western left. It simply may be the case that they think the approach of Likud or Netanyahu lacks prudence and may backfire on Israel.
And:
I have heard it said that Murphy and Jamie Chalker were candidates for the job that ultimately went to Chalker, and that Murphy has held a revenge torch ever since as he believed that he won the role.
Chalker and then-Chief Minister Michael Gunner went to school together, which I am sure is some sort of coincidence.
It is also apparently noteworthy, according to sources that Murphy – almost alone in the entire NT top brass – studiously kept his mitts off the Rolfe fiasco from start to finish. In those terms, particularly through a political lens he’s virgin snow.
Chalker was appointed by, and was ultimately the subject of a heroically incompetent sacking attempt by successive Labor governments.
Although appointed by yet another Labor rabble, Murphy has had less than a year in the big chair and may yet save himself by promising to do actual police work and not fill gaps caused by the health and community services portfolios.
Time will tell.
The MSO was a big supporter of the Voice & constitutional recognition.
The management made a rod for their own back.
A lot of learnings to be had here.
If anyone in the administration of the Yartz remains teachable, that is.
Oh the ironing!!!
Is that Chris Bowen!!??
A couple of years ago, for a few weeks I was in Melbourne. A friend of an acquaintance, who I met was a member of the MSO.
Specifically, he played the flute. I asked how much he was paid for this, and he indicated quite proudly that he was remunerated to the tune of a shade over $100K for this.
‘What about the bloke on the triangle?’ I asked, which was in my view a reasonable question. ‘Does he get $100 large for that?’. The answer was yes.
On further enquiry, I ascertained that about 75% of that income came from MSO donations.
Has anyone seen this?

I’ve heard nothing from the media until I opened Jihadwatch.
A week ago, China announced that they will build a mass driver on the Moon, capable of sending hundreds of tons of valuable resources to Earth.
They failed to mention that this mass driver could also deliver nuclear sized strikes to any point on our planet; strikes that would be practically impossible to stop.
There actually is such a thing?
Why bother having a separate event when they could fold it into the Olympic Games. No one would see the difference.

Alice Springs’ ‘weekend of carnage’ in Northern Territory election aftermathLiam Mendes

The change in Territory government did nothing to stop rogue youths in Alice Springs leaving locals fearing for their lives, with dozens of vehicles smashed, businesses ransacked and Aboriginal Police Liaison Officers outnumbered when weapons were brandished during a dispute at a community footy game over the weekend.
Chief minister elect Lia Finocchiaro has vowed to tackle the issues of youth crime and ‘reset the agenda’ for law and order after meeting with the NT police commissioner on Sunday.
The Australian has obtained dozens of photographs and video footage of the weekend carnage in the red centre, where roaming youth vandals damaged more than 60 cars, with many of the vehicles dedicated to helping improve the lives of young Indigenous Australians.
One young woman, named Clarin, on Sunday evening had her car approached by a group of children – some whom look as young as eight – fearing she would be hijacked.
Extraordinary footage of the encounter shows the children approaching the vehicle from the Todd River at 8pm before the 28-year-old chef and student from Indonesia slowly reversed her car to get away, when the children started pelting rocks at her vehicle.
“The kids tried to approach the car and then (I) try to reverse the car and then the kids started to throw the stones on my car and I drove away,” said Clarin, who was still shaken by the incident on Monday.
Clarin, who requested her surname be withheld, said that before her vehicle was attacked the children had tried following and throwing stones at the friend she had just dropped off.
“I was so panicked, she was panicked, my other friend panicked as well,” she said.
“I was worried if they threatened me and asked me to leave the car and then they can hijack my car,” she said.
At least eight businesses were attacked on Saturday night, with photos obtained by The Australian showing hundreds of vehicle and business windows smashed.

One thing is for sure, we no longer have an army of any consequence.
Oh wait, we do have an army, this country has any army of indigenous crocodiles that infest our north. They’re our army now. I think I’ll trust the very unwoke crocodiles to defend this country more than the gender obsessed wokelings now infesting our ADF.

Mining magnate and businesswoman Gina Rinehart addressed the 2024 Bush Summit in Bendigo and spoke about the significance of the mining industry on the Australian economy which was not being taught about in schools.
Instead, “woke causes”, “propaganda” and an “anti-Australia” sentiment was permeating the education system.
Speaking at the event hosted by the Herald Sun, and introduced by Sky News host Rita Panahi, Ms Rinehart was critical of the education system for the drop in defence force personnel and for a increase in an anti-Australian sentiment in schools.
Ms Rinehart said Australian schoolchildren should be learning about the importance of coal mining and the importance it had on the economy, while also developing an understanding of the work regional communities did rather than “taking them for granted”.

What was he saying please Cassie?
It was about how our ADF, now uber woke and obsessed with gender ideology, is going to advise the Japanese about the importance of gender ideology in the armed services.
LOL.
Dunno about others but I think I’ll trust our indigenous crocodiles to defend this country more than the woke women and men in the ADF.
Sky News’s policy of appointing Joe Hildebrand as the Albanese government’s designated media apologist is backfiring.
Tonight, Hildebrand has been arguing that the rushed approval of Australian visitor visas for Gaza Arabs is more important than Australian national security.
I’m sure Joe’s on good money for his new role, but he’s now making a living predominantly as an Australian Labor government puppet.
Probably more weather recording sites now. Did the ABC even think to ask that question?
Of course not, there’s a planet to save.
Also the ability of digital thermometers to record short lived spikes in temperature.
I see Cassie already referred to Bolt.
He mentioned an Australian naval deployment on a Japanese Naval ship. The RAN contribution was providing people to advise on diversity issues! The other contribution was musicians.
Cant find the source of this story but yet another example of wokeness in ADF. Would be interesting to see photo of the RAN “sailors” deployed.
Bolt mentioned visit of Candace Owens and clearly in favour of her being banned. His two guests disagreed. One was Daniel Wild of IPA. Both agreed Candace was initially a very good commentator, especially on subject of BLM, but had gone off the rails recently. I definitely agree on that.
However at the risk of appearing to defend Candace I think Bolt “verballed” her in one respect. He used a reference to Frankists as one of his comments about Candace’s anti semitism. I did actually listen to that Candace episode and it was confusing to say the least. She went into background of Frankists and linked it to paedofiles and such activities in USA. If you only got a soundbite you might think the whole Frankists storyline was related to Jews.
From Wikipedia :
Frankism is a Sabbatean religious movement of the 18th and 19th centuries, created in Podolia, named after its founder, Jacob Frank. Frank completely rejected Jewish norms, preaching to his followers that they were obligated to transgress moral boundaries. At its height Frankism claimed perhaps 50,000 followers, primarily Jews living in the Polish Lithuanian Commonwealth, as well as in Central and Eastern Europe.
My understanding of what Candace was saying about them was that their intent was to make Jews look bad. However I think it was the same episode where she linked Jews to assassination of JFK (ie. Jack Ruby was Jack Rubenstein), 9/11 (ie. Israel knew it was coming) and a reference to the USS Liberty attack. Overall I took the episode to show she was anti semetic.
My impression is that Candace is very religious but looks down on the Jewish faith and this was the cause of her issues with Ben Shapiro.
Meanwhile Senator Faruqi on an anti semetic committee in the Senate !
I hope the bloke at the end did not get arrested for tonking the w*nker.

One of those questions that answers itself in the act of being posed.
Re Candace Owens and Jacob Frank.
Firstly, I’ve never had much time for Owens however I did once think she was a fairly reasonable advocate for conservative blacks. I once thought she had some interesting stuff to say about blacks and Donald Trump however I never equated her with someone like Larry Elder, a black man who does have a formidable intellect and who is someone I respect. Owens has long struck me as a rabble rouser and someone who shoots from the hip, neither of which are wise. However, over the last two years, and particularly since October 7, she’s gone down some very murky rabbit holes full of conspiratorial gunk and crap, particularly anti-Semitic gunk and crap. She’s allied herself with the likes of Kanye West and Nick Fuentes, both rabid anti-Semites. Conspiratorial rabbit holes are filled with concrete, it’s very hard to yank yourself out you’ve gone down one of these concrete filled holes. Owens now spouts Holocaust denial and so on. She’s obscene but she’s also something else, she’s a complete idiot and her opining on Jacob Frank, a figure from Jewish history who I happen to know quite a lot about, proves her idiocy. But, but, do I think banning her is the answer? No, coz this country is about to let in 3000 rabid frothing Jew haters who, I can assure all of you, are rabid Jew haters and Holocaust deniers, down to the very last man, woman and child.
As for Jacob Frank, I could fill pages. I have an interest in false messiahs in Jewish history. Frank was a ‘false messiah’, a charismatic man who, along with his equally reckless and charismatic predecessor Shabbatai Zevi, caused monumental religious, theological and emotional anguish and trauma to European Jews in what is now Germany, Poland, Ukraine and the Baltic states. In the 17th and 18th centuries Ashkenazi Jews, my forebears, were the victims of daily, weekly, monthly and yearly persecution, persecution which involved endless pogroms and expulsions. Jews were bereft and desperate for strong leaders, they yearned for a messiah who would lead them to redemption in the Holy Land, Eretz Israel. Shabbatai Zevi capitalised on this in the 1600s. To cut a long story short, Zevi and this followers arrived in what is now Turkey and the Sultan, realising Zevi was a charlatan, gave Zevi two options, death or conversion to Islam. Zevi chose conversion and took his thousands of followers with him into Islam. This false messiah was devasting to European Jewry. As an aside, there are still today in Turkey descendants of Zevi’s Jews who practice a syncretic form of Judaism and Islam
But back to Frank, one hundred years after Zevi, he arrived on the scene in the mid to late 1700s and the story was the same as Zevi’s. A charismatic charlatan. The Frank story is yet another story of catastrophic spiritual upheaval for European Jewry. Frank ended up converting to Catholicism and taking thousands of his followers with him. It was devasting to Jewish communities. And it contributed to many Jews fleeing Poland and Prussia, with the result that many washed up on the shores of England…..my ancestors among them.
The rabbis of old gave us Jews very specific instructions about what to do if we’re told the ‘Messiah’ has arrived. We’re warned very clearly about the dangers of false Messiahs, the rabbis tell us that if we’re cutting wood, if we’re planting vegetables, if we’re milking a cow, or if we’re preparing dinner and we’re told by an excited neighbour that the Messiah has arrived and that we have to run to meet him, the rabbis wisely suggest we continue cutting wood, we continue planting vegetables, we continue milking the cow, and we continue preparing dinner. It is best to concentrate on the here and now because we’re bound to be disappointed, and that’s what the likes of Frank and Zevi did to us Jews.
As for Owens, she knows shit, she is shit but banning her just makes her a martyr to other shits. The woman has zero credibility.
This is what it’s all about. A blatant attack on free speech. The article has instructions on how to prevent deletion.

Medieval town on the banks of the Boyne
Trim Castle, recently famous for the filming of Braveheart, is somewhat intact. I didn’t bother with the guided tour of the keep, I figured I’ve heard/ read enough of the Norman invasion of Ireland nit to need to hear another telling though I think I may be related to this particular Norman Lord.
There are the remains of various abbeys, mostly scant though if you take the very pleasant walk along the Boyne to Newtown the remains of the Cathedral are somewhat intact.
I’ve just been reading about he Black Friary but all that’s left of that is what was excavated in 2014.
The Augustine Abbey tower remains the tallest Medieval tour in Ireland.
Oh and Jonathan Swift was a Church of Ireland vicar here, massive congregation of fifteen souls but being the gentry it was a comfortable living.

Pontcysyllte Aqueduct
Today this wouldn’t even get to the planning stage.
We build roads and bridges instead, though, it is still in use.
——————————-
The Pontcysyllte Aqueduct, located in Wales, is an impressive and historic structure designed to carry the Llangollen Canal over the River Dee. Here are some key details:
• Construction: It was built between 1795 and 1805 by the engineer Thomas Telford, who was renowned for his contributions to civil engineering.
• Design: The aqueduct is made of iron and stands 38 meters (125 feet) above the river, making it the highest aqueduct in the UK.
• Length: It stretches 307 meters (1,007 feet) across the River Dee.
• Significance: The Pontcysyllte Aqueduct is a masterpiece of engineering and is considered a key achievement in the development of canal transport.
• UNESCO World Heritage Site: It was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2009, recognized for its historical and architectural significance.
The aqueduct is still in use today, allowing narrowboats to traverse it, and it’s a popular attraction for visitors interested in industrial heritage and engineering marvels.
