Tim Blair in today’s Tele:
America stinks of weed, and if we’re not careful the Greens will do the same thing to Sydney
Tim Blair
10 Sep 2024
Widespread decriminalisation of the devil’s lettuce has turned the world’s greatest superpower into something with the sour aromatic qualities of a mopey teen’s bedroom.
I’m now back from a month in the US, and there’s no easy way to say this, so I’m just going to come right out with it.
America stinks.
As just about anybody can tell within moments of arrival, the whole place absolutely reeks of marijuana, from coast to malodorous coast.
Widespread decriminalisation of the devil’s lettuce – dope is legal in 24 states for recreational use and in 38 states for medical use – has turned the world’s greatest superpower into something with the sour aromatic qualities of a mopey teen’s bedroom.
By “medical use”, incidentally, authorities generally mean “medical excuse”. Rock up to any one of the more than 12,000 approved marijuana dispensaries currently polluting the US and you’ll usually need only a vague note of approval from a helpful doctor.
The door is basically wide open and everyone’s walking on through. “All conditions could qualify! No medical records required!” promises a provider in the state of Virginia. “Over 99 per cent approval rate!”
You’d be surprised at the enormous number of middle-aged American women, in particular, who’ve lately discovered an urgent need to treat decades-old childhood basketball injuries and the like with medical cannabis. Once any so-called “medical” gear is outside the dispensary, of course, it’s game on for whoever wants it – and a gamey stench for whoever finds themselves within nasal detection range of your typical US stoner.
I cannot overstate just how disgusting this all is. Anti-tobacco activists wailed for years until they largely removed that product’s relatively delicate scent from society, but in the US it’s been replaced by hippie armpits.
America has swapped second-hand smoke with marijuana’s second-hand stank. Other odours have also been pushed aside. As one New York City resident observed online a few months ago: “The unofficial scent of NYC has gone from the stench of urine to the aroma of cannabis.”
The word “aroma” is doing some heavy lifting there. But a reply to that comment pointed out that dope for urine isn’t a straight sensory trade.
Instead, the two team up to form a revolting compound. “Turns out cannabis scents don’t actually mask urine,” the reply said. “It just smells like cannabis flavoured urine now.”
In the New York subway system’s boiling summer confines, you’d really prefer dealing with an old-fashioned crazed gunman.
At least they let you breathe. You know, for a time.
Older readers who perhaps danced with Mary Jane in eras prior may think I’m exaggerating. By their recollections, dope wasn’t much of an odour issue at all.
But marijuana has become far more potent over time and stinkier with it. This is why marijuana’s presence is powerfully noticeable even in outdoor settings.
Why, your correspondent was practically assaulted by a Cheech and Chong cumulonimbus upon turning a footpath corner in Phoenix, Arizona. It turned out that the smoke’s source was a cluster of youngsters killing time between pizza deliveries.
A few slices may have failed to reach their destinations.
Another shock awaited in Las Vegas, where a quick tour around the celebrated gambling capital revealed four or so legal dope dispensaries.
It wasn’t hard to work out that the staff at my hotel preferred a certain level as their inhalation zone. I don’t want to smear the place, but let’s just say it’d be wise to avoid the 46th floor at any future Vegas lodgings.
Even in states where marijuana use is broadly illegal, such as Texas, laws are either rarely or only lightly enforced. If you wish to avoid daily encounters with the olfactory equivalent of a Woodstock sleeping bag, you don’t have many options.
Which brings us to Australia, where for now we’re mostly free of public cannabis infection. Even inner Sydney and Melbourne are safe or safe enough. Adelaide, not so much.
We’ll all be at risk of repeating America’s error, though, if the Greens have their way.
“We are excited to bring our Greens’ Legalising Cannabis Bill to a vote in parliament this year,” Greens senator for NSW David Shoebridge announced in June.
“This will be the first time any legislation has been brought in the Australian parliament to create a legal cannabis market, and if we get it right, we could have legal recreational cannabis by the end of 2024. It’s pretty exciting!”
It’s pretty nauseating. Still, let’s attempt to make this an exercise in societal advancement.
Before pushing for legal dope, the Greens should invest their own money in scientific programs to rid the stuff of its stench.
Once they’ve succeeded, that technology could be exported to a grateful world – at which point local legalisation may happily be considered. After that, the next great dope-themed challenge: creating a scent-free Greens voter.

Catherine, the Princess of Wales has released a statement and video announcing ‘her slow return to royal duties but where she also states that staying cancer free is her priority and she warns the road to healing and recovery is long despite finishing chemotherapy’.
Amen and memo to Catherine, you go girl, you take your time! What wonderful news to wake up to, all the more because there isn’t much wonderful news around. The Wales have released a heartwarming video of Catherine, William and their three beautiful children, you can see the love between all of them.
And before the various miserable Dickens like curmudgeons arrive here to throw iced water on a feel good story with barbs about the monarchy, let me state here and now that, in 2024, when we are cursed with the likes of the grub from Grayndler, da Fuhrer Sturmer, Miniscule Macron, Cackling Kamala the expert fellator, Turdeau, that cane toad from the UN and all the rest of the ruling elite garbage, I’ll take the monarchy any day over them.
I was reminded of the importance of the monarchy to the UK soul just two and a bit weeks ago when King Charles visited Southport. Unlike that putrid Stalinist Sturmer, who arrived in Southport within hours of the stabbings only to be rightly heckled and booed after which he quickly fled in a very undignified and cowardly manner, and then later, rather than attempting to address the problems the UK is facing, particularly with immigration, instead decided to declare war on the English indigenous white working class, smearing them all as ‘far-right’ and ‘waaacist’, compare those ugly scenes to when King Charles arrived in Southport, where crowds of ordinary working class English men and women, still reeling from the grief and anger of having little girls from their own community stabbed to death, lined the streets to respectfully and warmly welcome the King. It was dignified, there were no shouts of anger, no heckling, no booing.
Given the UK will now have to endure five years of Labour, and without a doubt the UK Marxist government will assault the monarchy because they hate the very idea of a hereditary monarchy, I’ll take Chuck, Camilla, Catherine and William any day over over creepy Stalinist Sturmer and his very unmerry comrades.
Poor widdle Timmy Bwair copped a whiff of some weed smoke in the street. This is but one of the profoundly important “right-of-centre” issues that the Murdoch press heroically allows to be discussed within its hallowed pages. That, and Brittany’s knickers.

Space race between the US, China and Russia heats up
Robert Gottliebsen
10 Sep 2024
The world of Star Wars and science fiction is rapidly approaching our earth.
Most Australians view Elon Musk’s space adventures with mild amusement. They don’t realise that it’s part of a space race between the US, China and Russia which is becoming an integral part of nuclear submarine movements and global communications.
We will have to be part of it if we are to be a serious AUKUS partner.
Moreover, the space game is evolving in a way that is becoming more deadly for Australia than most other countries.
New materials which one day may threaten our resource industries are being developed in earth’s atmosphere via artificial intelligence and quantum computing. This will be accelerated in the vacuum conditions in space. Resources are our main source of government income and a vital part of our sharemarket, so we must be part of the new frontiers (including the Moon).
I have been attending the Australian Davos Connection’s leadership summit for two decades, but rarely does an issue emerge of such community significance that is not on the national radar.
Australia has had three leaders who understood the long-term importance of the nation being involved in space exploration – Bob Hawke, Kim Beazley and Richard Marles.
Six months before becoming Deputy Prime Minister and Defence Minister, Marles showed he understood how vital space was to Australia’s future when he said: “The Australian Space Agency is really a critical first step, and it’s really important … but we need to take a much bigger step than that going forward if Australia is going to fulfil its destiny as a country which is leading the world in terms of our space industry.”
However, Anthony Albanese appointed the Member for Chiffley, Ed Husic, as Industry and Science Minister. Husic did not have the vision of his Deputy PM, and the Marles vision – which was also basic Coalition policy – was abandoned.
Whichever party wins government at the next election will need to restore the Marles vision if we are to be a true US partner.
Delegates to the ADC conference were told the facilities in space and on the Moon had the potential to control global communications and will almost certainly be used in future conflicts.
Space technology to track submarines in deep waters is being developed, which means that the billions we are spending in nuclear submarines will be of limited value unless we are part of the defence space systems that will be set up in space to counter our rivals.
The US sees Australian involvement in space as a natural and expected adjunct to involvement in nuclear submarines.
But back on Earth, artificial intelligence and quantum computing are beginning to accelerate the reconstruction of atoms to produce new materials.
Obviously, much of this work is being concentrated in the medical area. But in due course, materials will be produced that will be a substitute for the minerals being produced by our miners.
And in the near-vacuum environment of space and the Moon, reconstructing atoms is likely to be even more successful.
Moreover, asteroids in space contain minerals that are very valuable back on earth.
Where small quantities of minerals are used, such as rare earths, the asteroid material might be “mined” and be brought back to Earth. Again, science fiction is coming to Earth and, as a major miner, Australia must be part of the technologies.
If we go back to the 19th century, the great Cobb and Co set up a magnificent transport network based on horse-drawn vehicles. Cobb and Co did not realise future land transport would not involve horses, and it went out of business.
The use of drones both in the Ukraine and Gaza wars is rewriting the rules of military equipment technology, but there is a lot further to go, and the new era will include control of these and other weapons from space. Whether aircraft carriers and other surface ships like frigates will have a role in this new era is questionable.
There is some evidence Ukraine has been able to disrupt the communication systems used by Russian drones, but if similar technology is applied from space it is likely to be devastating.
Already the US is investing large sums in communication bases in Norway, because Norway’s position near the top of the world goes as close as possible to duplicating the advantages of space. In time, China and others may use the Antarctic in the same way.
Meanwhile, the challenge of rebuilding Ukraine and perhaps Gaza is being looked at in an unconventional way, perhaps using some of the new materials that have been developed with systems akin to 3D printing.
The combination of the new computer systems and the potential of space means that the world is entering yet another revolution that will be similar to both the industrial and internet revolutions but will move much faster. It will almost certainly mean that the cumbersome technologies we are using to generate power without carbon will be transformed, as will be transportation of electricity.
Perhaps we should all rewatch the Star Wars series to prepare ourselves for the new world. Even better, make sure that the next generation is very familiar with mathematics chemistry and physics, which will be important.
The application included rivers, creeks, lakes, swamps and waterways that no longer flow and land 100m on either side of the above.
It was unsuccessful, but that didn’t dissuade Plibersek from exercising her special ministerial powers in the case.

Sexual violence in the spotlight of veteran suicide royal commissionRhiannon Down

Defence personnel convicted of sexual offences will be automatically discharged under sweeping recommendations made by the Royal Commission into Veteran Suicide.
The three-year inquiry into veterans’ mental health has recommended the Australian Defence Force commence separate inquiries into sexual violence within the military and the weaponisation of the military justice system, in a bid to stamp out unacceptable behaviour including bullying.
The seven-volume report revealed high rates of bullying, harassment and violence, and recommended that the existing complaints management system and disciplinary processes should be improved.
The royal commission acknowledged the high incidents of sexual violence – including reports of gang rapes – within the military, which often went unreported due to victims’ fears of repercussions or fears their complaint would be met by an inadequate ADF response.
The report found 800 sexual assaults had been recorded within the ADF in the last five years, though 60 per cent of cases were not believed to have been reported.
In an effort to address the “devastating impact” sexual violence has had on current and former soldiers, the royal commission recommended any member convicted of sexual offences, including stalking and intimate image abuse, should be automatically discharged.
The ADF should also ensure that victims who report sexual assaults do not face adverse consequences and update existing systems to ensure that they cannot be deployed with their alleged perpetrator, the report recommended.
It noted that the ADF did not currently know how many members had been convicted of sexual offences, and recommended keeping records of all personnel who have convictions for such offences in civilian courts.
The royal commission also advised further research into the prevalence of military sexual trauma, including the link to suicide, should be conducted and data on sexual violence be published.
The report acknowledged that women were more likely to be the victims of sexual violence within the military than men, with ex-service women dying by suicide at double the rate of women in the broader population. It also noted that commanders had not been trained on how to respond to allegations when they emerge.
“Men and women serving in the ADF have signed up knowing they may be required to make the ultimate sacrifice for their country,” the report said. “However, for many members, the greatest source of danger comes from within the ADF itself.”
The commissioners advised that the inquiry into sexual violence within the ADF should be carried out independently and focus on the effectiveness of the military justice system compared to the civilian courts, the underlying drivers of sexual violence in Defence and the effectiveness of anonymous reporting.
“The “ongoing challenge” of high incidents of unacceptable behaviour was also addressed in the report, with a 2022 survey finding 33 per cent of men and 52 per cent of women who were permanent serving members had experienced inappropriate conduct the in the past year. The report highlighted shortcomings in administrative and disciplinary processes, including the significant discretion commanders have to determine and investigate matters, with little transparency. This has resulted in processes being subject to abuse, posing a risk to members’ mental health.
The report also addressed the role of the ADF Inspector-General in overseeing the justice system to ensure impartiality and fairness which has also fuelled the perception that the office is not independent from Defence, undermining confidence in its effectiveness.
“The ADF has yet to fully address the structural and cultural barriers to preventing and managing unacceptable behaviour,” the report says. “These include the role of leaders and the pressing need for complaints mechanisms outside the chain of command.”
The report urged the ADF to prioritise a separate inquiry into the weaponisation of the military justice system by the end of this year, after the royal commission heard accounts of commanders singling out members for minor infractions as a form of bullying. The royal commissioners – chair Nick Kaldas, Peggy Brown and James Douglas – urged Chief of the Defence Force Admiral David Johnston to prioritise an inquiry into the practice by the end of the year.

There’s certainly a real issue with kids roaming free in the murky online world. But an ‘Albanese Government $6.4m solution in time for the next election’ does not fill me with great confidence.
You know, with the threats to the agric and mining sectors that’s being reported in the Oz in various articles are correct.. If these Liars Party morons aren’t careful, they could actually crash the financial markets, that translates into a wholesale crash in equities, bonds and the currency. The economic crash comes next.
They’re treading on very thin ice.

Hang on, having missed the first why would you think that the Belarus move itself had no prior move on the part of the US? And why do you think that the decision to place intermediate missiles that can carry nuclear warheads in Germany was triggered, alone, by the placement of tactical nuclear missiles in Belarus by the Russians in 2023? Because John H told you? Apparently, you believe that nothing has been happening in between 2023 and 2024 unless you heard about it.
There is no cognitive dissonance or delusion here other than your own. It’s been pointed out repeatedly that the ‘threats’ are a means of short-circuiting further escalation of the conflict. You don’t like this because it limits the projection of American power via its proxies.
Just way to good not to share.

Today is first time have heard the term the Hannibal Directive. Saw it mentioned at Revolver News which linked to a recent ABC Oz article. However Wikipedia covers it in far more detail including the Oz article.
From Wikipedia intro:
It is s the name of a controversial procedure used by IDF to prevent the capture of Israeli soldiers by enemy forces. According to one version, it says that “the kidnapping must be stopped by all means, even at the price of striking and harming our own forces.” It was introduced in 1986, after a number of abductions of IDF soldiers in Lebanon and subsequent controversial prisoner exchanges”.
The name comes from Hannibal telling his soldiers to take poison rather than be captured by the Romans. It is laughable that it is claimed the Israeli operational name was randomly computer generated.
The Wiki article goes into detail about the order and conflicting views including within military; incidents when implemented; likely use on 7 October including attacking Hamas vehicles fleeing back to Gaza with captives on board.
How many countries armies now or in the past have had such orders whether from the top or just a lower level? Arsenic pills for spies to take if captured has definitely been a thing. However more to prevent likely torture. In the case of IDF also likely to relate to consequences of capture include mistreatment and prevention of large prisoner exchanges.
Not many armies face the operational dilemmas like the IDF does.
The Houso thug has never encountered resistance from farmers, miners and blackfellas in Marrickville. It’s those bloody selfish hard right, out of touch, rejectionist country bogans who are causing all of Australia’s problems.
We need to legislate. The Greens will help. That’ll fix em.
The decision came after the Belarus threat. That’s why.
John was actually responding to you as a result of your misdirection through omission by nicely explaining settling missiles in Germany came as a response to the Belarus renovation.
Nice example of what I suggested and also an interesting description that Ukraine is a US proxy, seeing it was invaded under Mr 87%’s blood and soil ideal.
I addressed DB’s argument about Tomahawks carrying nuke warheads. There are better delivery options. The nuclear threat exists on both sides but only Putin keeps making verbal threats. He wants the Russian public to believe that NATO is hell bent on invading Russia. NATO can’t do that and has no intention of doing that.
I read the Commission summary on veteran suicides and sent it off to a few friends. The replies mirrored what I thought: a load of bollocks. The comparison group was wrong, the emphasis on sexual assault against women is a diversion from the substantive issue, and blaming the military culture is off the mark. I hope the full report is much more thorough than that pile of trash.

It’s a crude, badly executed replay of Nazi Germany’s Blood and Soil shenanigans of the 30s. Personally, I blame Churchill for what’s happening now. 🙂

Incidentally I do get an anti Semitic vibe from Dore.
Probably pre 7 Oct you could have included Candace Owens in such a group so it is interesting that she is not on the list.

Live coverage due to commence 2:05pm Ncl time, if I have my timezones all lined up correctly (if the ‘watch’ link doesn’t work try SpaceX’s twitter feed).
The mission page says only a 40% chance of go to launch, so it may be scrubbed. (The problem is the weather conditions off Florida have to be favourable for the re-entry and splashdown of the capsule.)

Bro, you’re seriously asking if people in the US have pet ducks? This is the country where some folks keep lions and tigers chilling in their backyard. Ducks are basically starter pets for some.
There was dude who had a full-grown tiger just hanging out in his NYC apartment… until,, it decided to attack him. Like, who knew tigers weren’t meant for apartment living?

Seriously though, it’s all about Haitian illegals setting up shop in a small Ohio town and killing wildlife and pets. Amongst other things.

Gummint, in all its forms;
That one has its attractions, but founders on the fact that every time we hear from government, it’s painfully apparent that it is composed of ignorant halfwits. The Jew theory at least has going for it that Jews are, largely, intelligent. If they can get all those Nobel prizes, they are smart enough to run the world and exploit our innocence. You couldn’t say that of our political class.
Adam goes for the head shot and doesn’t miss.
The pet story appears to be true.
Important vid.
“Bro, you’re seriously asking if people in the US have pet ducks?”
No, JC, I’m asking if they are a POPULAR pet.
I’m trying to figure out why an AI would use ducks in both those images.
Presumably, these were generated from a basic text description, and I find it hard to believe both descriptions would have included “with a cat and a duck” (or even “goose”) rather than “with pets”.
Perhaps more accurately, would an LLM AI trained on internet data assume a duck(goose) is a “normal” (as in popular) pet in the USA?
Because nothing else was occurring either before decision above or after.
Nonsense. There was no ‘misdirection through omission’ as I already demonstrated by quoting my own words. Moreover, trying to pretend there was undercuts your claim that Tomahawks in Germany is a response to nukes in Belarus; you don’t respond to nuclear threats with non-nuclear threats. The clear signal from Tomahawks in Germany being made to Russia is their nuclear capability now sitting in Germany.
“Seriously though, it’s all about Haitian illegals setting up shop in a small Ohio town and killing wildlife and pets.”
Thanks Cali – that would explain it, I guess.
Although why anyone would care about wild ducks is still beyond me.
“It’s wabbit season!”
“Duck season!”
The stupidest most preposterous ruling caste in human history. Possessing all the gravitas of a fart and the collective intelligence of a turnip.
Seriously spare a few minutes, and just watch the vid of the people talking about what they have to put up with in their neighborhood and keep in mind what Adam C had to say. It’s actually heartbreaking what they’re doing to these folks.
One of the keywords would be “goose”.
AI did not differentiate between a wild goose (the one that was killed) and a more common domestic white goose. If “pet” had been entered, it would have gone for the most popular pet. Given the popularity of cat videos it’s a no brainer.
Interesting to see the limitations – GIGO.
The Haitians aren’t illegals.
Cats for Trump …!
Sure, if you accept the current Administration’s policy that allows 99% border walk-ins to be processed as refs.
I presume the nice white ducks are minding their own business gliding along a lake.
Then along comes a Haitian and no more duck.
Save the ducks, stop Haitian arrivals.
You know, the real story behind the pet eating is likely a hoax, at least on scale.
The demonrats have been cranking out hoaxes like it’s their side hustle since the first week of 2016.
But hey, forget the ducks and cats—let the demonrats get served a plate of gourmet crow instead. Extra crispy.”
Immigrants are taking ducks, geese, swans even species of seagulls, all of which are protected species, and only a couple of which can be taken legally during hunting season if you have the required permits, from public parks and beaches as well as stealing family pets.
People have a right to be ticked off.
At the very least Immigrants should be educated about their responsibilities.
As for dumping large numbers of Immigrants, who I’m willing to bet are mostly young and male into depressed small towns, great work.
Sentld them to Martha’s Vineyard.

Absolutely, JC!!! Good grief – those testimonies say it all. Watch the testimonies of these poor (literally) people who have to endure, without effective policing, serious assaults on their way of life.
Quite frankly, those videos of the town people will shock you to the core. Put yourself in their shoes! They are basically the people JD Vance talks about & it is these people who are suffering from the failure of the Dems to secure the southern border.
“on 7 October including attacking Hamas vehicles fleeing back to Gaza with captives on board”
Obviously not a great success then.
In any case if captives were in the boot or even just a passenger in a sedan the IDF would have no way of knowing if there were hostages in any particular fleeing vehicle so Hannibal directive is moot.
Hamas and innocent civilians took hostages in vehicles ranging from golf carts to motor bikes to cars to tractors to trucks, they even hustled them over by shank’s pony.

He’s always pretty good.
Just rewatched a Pence – Kamalala debate.
I think the Trump- Kamalala debate will be a wash, unless the booze has further damaged her bird brain, she has a few tactics down that will be highly irritating to one side and the other will find agreeable.
In general she was capable, unlike Joe, of cramming before an event and seeming plausible to her side, which is all they need.
Trump will be Trump.
That’s all, no big shift either way, I reckon.
I will probably give watching a miss because Trump won’t say anything he hasn’t said a thousand times, and that bird gives me a migraine.
I saw what you did there.
Like the “good” doctor who was holding a young lady captive. Fun for all the family…until they became swiss cheese once the cavalry arrived.

Frustrated farmers demand Albanese ‘speak up’ on live export phase-out
theaustralian.com.au01:31
‘Fired up’: Farmers unite to protest Albanese government policies
UP NEXT
Thousands of farmers have rallied in Canberra this morning to protest live sheep export bans, water buybacks,…
Anthony Albanese has defended Labor’s mooted phase-out of the live sheep export trade, as primary producers and other agricultural industry participants converged on Canberra to protest the ban.
The Prime Minister told question time that the value of Australia’s live sheep export industry had diminished substantially in recent years, while onshore processing had increased in value.
“Over the decade, the Liberals and Nationals were in government, live sheep exports by sea decreased by over 1.5 million. That is just a fact of what occurred,” Mr Albanese said.
“At the same time, exports of sheep meat have escalated to some $4 billion of value.”
Farmers who were present in the gallery appeared visibly frustrated during Mr Albanese’s answer, throwing up their hands and shaking their heads in dismay.
One farmer, who demanded Mr Albanese speak up, was removed from the chamber by security.
The Albanese government has announced a $107m support package for farmers and other supply chain participants to adjust to the ban which is set to take effect in 2028.

Adam Bandt’s business class travel a bit rich; High-flying airport boss’ alleged flingYoni Bashan and Nick Evans
17 hours ago.
Updated 2 minutes ago
Bit off-brand to see Greens leader Adam Bandt flying in luxury in the business class section of QF1280. This was on Sunday during the one-hour journey between Melbourne and Canberra ahead of a parliamentary sitting week.
No such comfort for Labor ministers Tim Watts and Catherine King, spotted as they were further back cheek-by-jowl in economy.
Bandt’s colleagues probably wouldn’t approve of this indulgence. After all, it was Queensland Greens MP Max Chandler-Mather who spurned a Chairman’s Lounge membership last year and still refuses to travel business class. He says it’s because he “already spend(s) too much time with politicians in parliament”.
Bandt can do what he wants, of course. But isn’t this Mr Eat the Rich? Isn’t he the guy who routinely rails against wealth in all its forms, even announcing a series of “Robin Hood” tax hikes on profit and productivity a week ago?
“The aim is simple,” he said. “To make the big corporations and billionaires pay their fair share of tax to make life better for everyone.”
Well, yes, life’s definitely better in a leather seat with a premium snack. But did taxpayers foot the bill? Bandt ignored Margin Call’s question asking if he paid for the ticket himself, which, if he didn’t, does put him at risk of resembling an enormous hypocrite.
The only poetic justice here, if at all, is that Bandt ended up seated next to Senator Jacqui Lambie, who’s been torching the Greens with great relish and vigour for months, attacking them for “whipping up division and hate”, displaying “the most despicable examples of leadership”, and for refusing to support her motion to condemn the vandalism of war memorials.
So hardly the comfortable flight he was probably hoping for.
Do as I say, not do as I do…
I have a very eccentric Burmese cat. I can assure everyone here he’s a Zionist and a Trumpist.
I’m amused that Elon has the support staff in black ninja suits with numbers on their backs. Very 47 Ronin.
He has a wonderfully dry sense of humour, which has infected his whole company.
David Thompson had a video of an apparent refugee butchering a cat in a driveway.Not certain where.
Just a reminder that this was debunked last year.
I got into a bit of a twitter punch up over this last night but didn’t realise it was a thing as I only saw it on one post.
I just dropped the facts and then muted the trolls, who were both white supremacists and progressives.
France 24 did good work last year showing this was a false narrative.
The damage was done at Nova before the IDF arrived.
It doesn’t take that long to butcher a few hundred unarmed people, and of course 40 people were taken hostage, including the body of Shani Louk.
It’s funny how those claiming it was an idf massacre ignore the footage shot by hamas, and the testimony of survivors, not to mention those killed who were in continuous contact with loved ones, Eden Yerushalmi was on the phone with police.
“I’m in all the shootings in the south,” she told the police, “I need you to help me. I’m alone in the bushes, there are gunshots and all the Arabs are here.” In the recording, Yerushalmi also said, “They’re shooting at me, I can’t believe this is happening. I’m behind a bad bush. They (the terrorists) are here, they see me. They’re shooting at me. I’m dying. That’s it, I’m dead.”
Was she lying?

I don’t think SpaceX realize just how many people watch their coverage.
Now up to 200,000 watchers and the feed is dying of insufficient bandwidth.
It’s nice that so many people are watching but it’s really annoying that we can’t see anything because of the bandwidth glitching.
Ah well, 21stC problems.
“The Australian Bureau of Statistics is dropping the proposal to add an ethnicity question to the upcoming 2026 census despite similar questions being asked in the censuses of the UK Canada and New Zealand. Australian government departments know to not ask a question when your Masters don’t want the answer to it. In the past year 737,000 people arrived in the country the majority from developing markets providing the greatest change to ethnicity and total population in our history yet the ABS has decided to cease tracking the data that … the government will have no problem however in asking the last time you scratched your bum.”

Keynote speech by Matt Barrie
The full speech lays out in sobering and rage-inducing detail, the depths of Government policy retardedness and malignancy across a multitude of domains.
(and as an aside, it appears to me that the kerfuffle over introducing a sexuality question in the 2026 Census has been a classic case of deflection)
Matt Barrie calls Australia out for its housing, immigration, and industry policies. About once a year Matt gives a keynote address, and this was it for 2024, delivered in Brisbane to an audience from the Australian Institute for Progress.
Matt is the founder of Freelancer.com , one of the world’s largest freelancing and crowdsourcing marketplaces with over 70 million registered users. He was Libertarian of the Year in 2016 and in 2019 a Gold Stevie winning Executive of the Year in 2019.
He brings impeccable commercial and intellectual abilities to the task of mapping out the mess we find ourselves in.
LOL, SpaceX has just cut the video quality to 1080. Neat answer to the problem since they’ve just reduced the bandwith by three quarters.
Still glitching though. I wonder if there’s a cyberattack?
Apparently that event is fair dinkum.
There’s also police bodycam of the arrest, right there on the driveway with tabby looking like a chook a fox caught.
The IQ 67 in the police bodycam is the same one that was processed in court & found guilty of eating the pet tabby.
Why would anyone follow this scumbag?

You’re all talking as if there is something wrong with eating cats.
There is a Military Arms convention right now in Melbourne.
All the ugly Cat slags were there in red shower curtains and Mr Squiggle face paint. Rather surreal.
It was supposed to be an anti-war protest, but most of the placards were the standard “Israel Bad”, and go vegan.
I did wonder if the Gimp was in attendance as it was, as the Gimp himself often recites, extremely low energy.
Maybe he got an offer to walk him? haw!
I have come to really like this guy. It took a while.
Last comment was re Elon. Out of sequence. Sorry.
Glitching gone. SpaceX does a bit on their spacesuits. Amazingly awesome. They are so far beyond NASA it isn’t funny. Yet their suits are comfortable and svelte. They even have a heads up display.
I had a look at the Cernovich thread about Catholic charities;

It’s the Catholic cabal running the world, no it’s the Jewish cabal, no it’s the Catholic cabal and on and on.

Bit off-brand to see Greens leader Adam Bandt flying in luxury in the business class section of QF1280.
I had a interstate work counterpart who always flew overseas in first class, naturally a rusted-on liars member and hard boiled lefty. Whenever I challenged him about it his standard reply was “Mate, when the revolution comes we’ll all fly this way”. That said with only a hint of sarcasm and a big grin.
SpaceX coverage just hit 400,000 live watchers. Wow.

Drone used to deliver meth, cannabis to Melbourne detention centreA Melbourne detention centre worker has been sentenced to two-and-a-half years in jail for using a drone to smuggle meth and cannabis to an inmate.
Tastes like the dark meat on poultry, No it does not taste like chicken, had some in Honkers years ago.
Interesting. When that article popped up in my timeline over the weekend my first reaction was: Ok, had the ABC covered this before? Not once. That’s pretty extraordinary given the numerous mentions of it over the last 11 months. Even The Age mentioned it a couple of times following a major Haaretz article on it in July and a few times before that in the mid-2010s.
The thing that the ABC article (and it was a decent summary of the topic) addressed beyond the employment of the Hannibal directive, is that it was meant to apply only to situations involving the capture of IDF soldiers, not also captured Israeli civilians. And, further, not a decision here or there to employ it, but its blanket use over a period of 12 hours or so against anything moving back to Gaza.
Suddenly lost the ability to walk, has he?
Well over 450,000 live viewers now. Really interesting to see how mk1 punters are interested in this sort of show.

LOL. Even though nuclear launch pads were set up in Belarus first, it’s the subsequent US response that implies the nuclear threat. If you stretch this any further, you’ll need a bungee cord to reel it back in!
William Hague has an article at the Oz about Governments and big tech and cracking down on bots and misinformation etc.
Hague mentions and quotes Yuval Harari quite a bit. This is my rejected comment.
“Yuval Noah Harari’s name is familiar.
He is often referred to an adviser to World Economic Forum boss Klaus Schwab yet his Wikipedia entry makes no mention of this role despite multiple references to it elsewhere online”.
There are over 60 comments on the article and yet not one mentions him. I can’t remember the exact comments but do recall he made some highly controversial ones a few years ago.
Guess which web page Hague also appears on ?
Bummer.
Coverage at 550,000 watchers and the weather has decided to be a bastard.

Examples of the Starmer gulag that was once Britain:UK: Starmer’s Dictatorship? :: Gatestone Institute
Peter Lynch, 61, a grandfather in Rotherham, a place where children have for decades been experiencing rape, other sexual abuse, and torture at the hands of mainly Muslim grooming gangs while police and the city council looked the other way, shouted at police, “you are protecting people who are killing our kids and raping them” and “scum”. Judge Richardson told Lynch: “You did not yourself attack any police officer, as far as can be detected, but what you did was encourage by your conduct others to behave violently and you were part of this mob. What a disgraceful example you are as a grandfather”… [and] sentenced him to two years and eight months.Jordan Parlour, 28, was also sentenced for writing on a Facebook post: “Every man and their dog should be smashing f..k out Britannia Hotel”, a hotel in Leeds housing migrants that was reportedly being pelted with stones at the time by protesters. Parlour’s post received just six likes with one Facebook user asking “why?” Parlour replied:
Judge Guy Kearl said in his sentencing remarks:
In 2021, Judge Guy Kearl ruled that a pedophile, who was found guilty of downloading “hundreds of vile child sex abuse images” on his computer, did not have to serve any time in jail.
Pensioner David Spring, 61, recently retired, was sentenced to 18 months in prison, “as a deterrent to others” for making threatening and hostile gestures towards police. He had called officers “c..ts” and joined in chants of “you’re not English any more” and “who the f*** is Allah.”
Judge Benedict Kelleher was asked to consider Spring’s caring duties for his sick wife. Instead, he told Spring that “severe” sentences were needed to deter others. So the pensioner was sent straight to prison. The judge said:

From the report on Kenny, they were arrested for “impeding the march”, which is a blatant lie because the demonstrators were simply walking around them or stealing their union jack flag.
The police marched them off and cuffed them on the ground, four to a man.

Don’t forget Anne, she’s a keeper too. Edward and Sophie are also good backstops. Funnily enough, I found myself deep in discussion of Monarchy today too.
During an interminable wait at the Children’s Hospital today my autistic fourteen year old grandson and I had a Socratic style of discussion about his ‘ideal’ political system. He is busy compiling in his mind an ideal political system binding together some basic elements: Socialism for housing (he’d love his mum to no longer worry about the rising rent) and other ‘necessary’ things, controlled by an elected Senate of Capitalists, and all of it kept in line by a Monarchy. What is so special about a Monarchy? I discoursed back to him. We talked a bit more about it and the gist is that he saw that people wanted to ‘believe’ in Monarchy, the family of the people, that a Monarch was kept in line by this, and would work with the people, above politics. And tryanny? I enquired. Then the people kill the King, he answered, especially if kings want to expand to Empires and Emperors. Ok.
I steered the conversation towards reviewing historically Plato’s Republic, then the Utopian Socialists, Communists, Marxists, and Democracy, identifying firstly the driving engine of growth under capitalism, ie economic productivity, and the way in which this was important to provide a tax base in a ‘mixed’ economy. He is really quite thoughtful about it all, in the way a fourteen year old in a State High School system can be, given input so far from his Green tinged teachers, his Trump-hating American mother, her gay brother and his loving Marxist-left grandfather (my ex).
He’s obsessive about it all, as autistic kids can be, but he’s really quite smart too. He thinks ‘global warming’ is a ‘lesser level problem, easily solved by nuclear power’ and that what goes on in Gaza with Israel is not Australia’s business (take that, teachers).

Chicken feeders.
Quite a variety.
Now I need one for Elsie.
Incidentally, did I see Wong backing Starmer’s stance on arms to Israel…

Kamala Harris represents child trafficking, massive inflation, and migrants eating your dogs and cats.
She will guarantee America’s 3rd world shithole status.
This is Australia, Calli.
Australians just want to be left alone, even though an activist minority led by the Greenfilth is determined to end the riches that pay for our lifestyle in taxes and royalties.
The activist minority is determined to take us back to the 17th century with its subsistence economy via the junk science climate scam, of which Australia is the world capital.
Millenials are the dumbest generation in human history.
William Hauge yet another one outing himself as part of the problem.
Clennell is a piece of shit. He is an arch leftie. He’s on Credlin snarling at her because she is stating that rub and tug have no achievements and he is stating they do have positive things such as cheaper childcare. WTF does she have the bastard on?
Millenials are the dumbest generation in human history.
Guys in their 20s? A lot of the ones I work with seem to get it. Maybe that’s partly because they leant a trade rather than going to uni.
I’m not smug or cocky about Australia- I know we’re in great danger too but I’m hopeful.
England seems to be reverting to feudalism which suggests to me they’ve never really recovered from 1066.
Guess I’ll have to answer my own question:
Why yes, I think it’ll improve the economy as people have to work for a living.
I guess they are mainly economic refugees pouring over the borders.
All views in this post are mine, including quotes, to be clear.
Further question for open borders enthusiasts (but only after the welfare state is abolished).
Where would be a more profitable spot for a professional beggar, a street corner in Caracas, or a street corner in the USA?
Which place has the tastier park wildlife?
The navy is dismantling most of their Tomahawks to be replaced with much more capable cruise missiles like LRASM. Why waste a nuke on a Tomahawk when the JASSM is much more capable and\or hypersonic missile delivery confers a much greater kill probability? Do you ever concede anything?
Millenials are the dumbest generation in human history.
Agree.

On GB they are apparently splitting inmates up and putting them into different wings.

One doesn’t need to imagine to know the likely demographics of the other inmates.
Federal Agriculture Minister Julie Collins absent from Canberra farm rally after missing WA Cabinet roadshow
There you go, Australia’s farmers, that’s what the Federal Minister thinks of you!
I know a dozen or so young millennial men born towards the end of the spectrum for the cohort.
They’re all pro-Trump for various reasons.
None of them think Trump is perfect, but he offers hope.
SpaceX to launch 4 tourists
Yeah right. “Tourists”
Two are SpaceX employees. Scot Poteet is former USAF pilot and worked for Jared “Rook” Isaacman running Draken International providing jet fighters for adversary training to the military. Both current in high performance military jets.
The ladies are pretty good looking too.
Not at all. They are both nuclear threats. You’re the one making the silly argument that the US response involves no nuclear threat. But carry on anyway, it’s been amusing watching you twerk from one silly argument to the next.
THAT is the important bit – they don’t subscribe to some childish heroic fantasy. Not perfect, but the best choice.
(They don’t even have to affect that tired, quasi-intellectual cynical pose of ‘least bad’. Trump is actually good – just make sure to avoid exaggerated mythologising.)

Numbnuts, you can’t just rip out the welfare state like it’s a weed and expect everything to be sunshine . It would need to be phased out progressively and methodically over several years.
First off, those draconian labor laws and government-mandated wages are like a job-killer machine. People removed out of the job market for these reasons definitely deserve some sort of compensation by those who take advantage of regulation such as union members. You’d need to take a sledgehammer to labor market regulations and wage rates and move everything to private treaty.
Also, there’s a little thing called morality. Folks who spent their lives working and planned on a pension and benefits should be treated with some respect.
So, if you want to dismantle the welfare state, it’s got to be a concerted almost linear process built into people’s expectations. Plus, you’d need to cut taxes down to the bone (except for national security, of course) over a period of time. The government should be prohibited from raised debt except for specific projects that become self-funded and non-recourse.
And let’s not forget massive deregulation would be required all across the economy and removal of almost all government intervention.
Honestly, talking with you is like trying to have a deep conversation with a goldfish—your arguments are just way too simplistic and low-rent.
