Jim Rickards provides another great analysis:
I. The Steal Begins: Secret Service Put In Charge Of Counting Votes
Democrat efforts to steal the 2020 presidential election are very well documented. In key states such as Pennsylvania, Georgia, Arizona and Wisconsin, requirements that mail-in ballots have signatures on the ballot and the envelope that could be compared were ignored. Other mail-in ballots were discarded after supposedly being “counted” so that no paper trail existed.
Ballot harvesting from assisted living facilities and apartment buildings was conducted with no verification that any of the residents actually filled-in their ballots. Other supposed mail-in ballots appeared without creases (meaning they had never been mailed) with 95-1 pro-Biden ratios (statistically impossible).
A ‘water leak’ caused an evacuation of a large vote counting centre in Atlanta so that poll watchers were ejected while the counting went on without supervision.
Mark Zuckerberg and his wife donated hundreds of millions of dollars to assist communities with vote counting efforts, but the money went overwhelmingly to Democratic districts.
It took all of that and more for Biden to eke out a narrow victory.
The idea that the courts rejected the voter fraud claims is false. The courts refused to hear the cases based on procedural grounds such as standing, venue, jurisdiction and laches (waiting too long to bring the claim). That’s quite different from reaching the merits of the claims, which was never done.
The Republicans have improved their game this time around. They have over 500 lawyers on call to deal in real time with fraud allegations, there is no pandemic excuse to deny poll watchers a chance to do their jobs and they’re getting better at ballot harvesting from their own districts. This has forced the Democrats to resort to even more desperate techniques to steal the 2024 election.
One plan is to declare Trump an ‘insurrectionist’ on 6 January 2025, so that his Electoral Votes can be disqualified even if he won the most on Election Day. To back up their 6 January plan, the Department of Homeland Security, (the same people who opened the border) has put the Secret Service in charge of the Electoral College vote count.
This means if Republicans object to certain Electoral Votes on the day they are counted in the Capitol Building (a perfectly legitimate process) the Secret Service can act as goon squads to suppress any objections as an effort to ‘overturn’ the election by ‘election deniers’.
The main job of the Secret Service today is to facilitate the assassination of Donald Trump. If Trump survives to 6 January 2025, their main job will be to help rig the vote at the finish line.

Unfortunately the pharmacologist you mention did not get much mainstream media coverage. Even now would be lucky if 5% have heard his name. The reason being if many listened to his views they might become vaccine hesitant. Likewise if mainstream media early on had covered more on vaccine injuries would have created hesitancy.
AZ injuries and deaths became too obvious so they happily threw it under the bus as knew still had Pfizer. Weird how not one Pfizer death has been accepted in Australia.

COME ON DOWN BRITTANY HIGGINS!
State MP Gareth Ward turned up to parliament just after 4am on a Sunday morning wearing a “T-shirt, underwear, (and) socks,” with a gash on his head and smelling of alcohol, according to a secret security report – with Mr Ward claiming he walked to get a spare key after locking himself out of his apartment, and denying he was drunk.
The Daily Telegraph can now reveal bombshell allegations against the independent MP – who is due to face court next year over alleged sex offences – following a months-long investigation into an incident in the early hours of Sunday July 21.
What is it about Parliament Houses???

On health matters, I am quite fond of The Glucose Goddess as a communicator about the complex biochemistry of insulin resistance, the cause of much obesity and type 2 diabetes in modern societies – she is a biochemist who can speak in good metaphors, as she does here in an interview on the basics of her approach.
Insulin resistance is a major health issue that we are going to hear a lot more about as the more usual dietetic approach to this illness is challenged.
More on Gareth Ward MP for anyone who can’t get past the paywall, because this boy knows how to entertain the voters:
The July incident is the latest time Mr Ward has been caught in a compromising position.
Ok 1:
In 2020, the then-Families Minister was twice escorted home by police after being found sleepwalking naked.
In a statement at the time, NSW Police said officers had located “naked man standing in the doorway of another unit”.
“After determining that was his residence, (police) escorted him inside.”
Mr Ward, who had earlier been admitted to hospital for a medical procedure, said he did not remember the incident.
“I had a general anaesthetic. I was fine after the operation but when you go to sleep these things hit,” he said.
After all, who hasn’t gone sleepwalking naked?
Ok 2:
In 2017, he was targeted in a blackmail scam in New York after ordering a massage to his hotel room.
Mr Ward said he paid $US100 via an online website for a “normal, standard massage” and denied that he ordered a “special massage”.
The then-Parliamentary Secretary said “very aggressive” African-American men arrived at his room at 10.30pm offering sexual services, demanding money.
They always do that. Nothing to see here.
Ok 3.
Mr Ward was suspended from parliament in 2022 after being charged with a string of offences including rape, indecent assault, and common assault.
Yes indeed. They don’t call him “The Member” for Kiama for nothing.
He was re-elected at the 2023 election.

Musk does slowly sell Tesla shares. SpaceX is worth well north of USD 100 billion and Musk has just over 50% of the votes and has completely upset the old aerospace industry paradigm.

Mark Dreyfus to address Israeli counter-terror summit on October 7 anniversaryBen Packham
39 minutes ago.
Updated 7 minutes ago
Attorney-General Mark Dreyfus will represent the government in Israel on the anniversary of Hamas’s October 7 terror attack, as Australia’s Jewish community warns “depraved” protesters to stay away from local vigils.
Mr Dreyfus, Labor’s most senior Jewish MP, is scheduled to attend a major counter-terrorism summit at Israel’s Reichman University from October 6-8, delivering a keynote address.
Scott Morrison will also address the Shabtai Shavit summit, and Coalition frontbenchers Andrew Hastie and Claire Chandler will attend memorial services.
Mr Dreyfus was asked to attend the summit by Anthony Albanese but the Attorney-General’s office cautioned the trip would be dependent on updated security advice amid escalating hostilities between Israel and Lebanese-based Hezbollah militants.
The Jewish community in Australia is planning memorial events across the country on October 7, and a candle-lighting ceremony in Sydney the night before. Details of the events are tightly held amid fears pro-Palestine groups will seek to disrupt them.
Anti-Israel groups are planning national rallies this Sunday, with a “Protest 365 days of genocide” march scheduled for October 6 in Sydney.

A flyer for a planned anti-Israel protest on October 6, 2024
Executive Council of Australian Jewry co-chief executive Alex Ryvchin said the plans gave an insight “into the depraved mindset of the pro-Palestine movement”.
“These people responded to the invasion of Israel by a hybrid force of terrorists and Gazan civilians, and the slaughter, torture, plunder and abduction of every Jew they could find, with unbridled jubilation,” he said.
“Only those with no humanity and no decency could react to atrocities in such a way.
“This past year has been the most challenging in the history of our community, and any attempts to desecrate any ceremony where we honour our dead and call for the release of those still alive would be utterly shameful.”
His comments came after hundreds of protesters draped in Lebanese flags and Palestinian scarves chanted their support for the Iranian-backed Hezbollah terrorist group outside Sydney Town Hall on Tuesday night. The Australian Palestinian Advocacy Network, which backs coming rallies, declined to comment.
Why are you alluding to something that never occurred. I didn’t say you accused Musk of something. I brought up Musk to contrast against Ma as both have moved against the government of the day. I also said Musk hasn’t been accused of sexual abhorrent acts.
I just find it astonishing that you seem to believe China’s economy is in good shape and is performing specularly. It’s not. This doesn’t mean the US is performing well with a chronic deficit and debt problem made worse by Hiden, but it’s in better shape than China.
I don’t think they or I have argued that China isn’t facing difficulties or structural readjustments.
I missed that satellite imagery you said you posted, can you re-post please?
Which is of course why China just pumped up their stockmarket today with an infusion of funny money. 😀

Who is “they”? Arnie Bertrand? Have you switched to different pronouns? 🙂
Let’s stay focused on the topic. Arnie presents a highly skewed view of China.
Arnie implies that because the Chinese stock market is smaller, it is less vulnerable in a downturn. He overlooks the fact that financial markets, regardless of size, are often indicators of economic health.
He also suggests that China’s business environment is more of a free market than the U.S., ignoring that the U.S. hosts the largest and most advanced capital markets in the world.
Businesses fail in the U.S. daily—just look at Boeing recently.
In contrast, not toeing the regime’s line in China can land you in jail without trial.
If Epstein and Diddy were named Wang and Hua and had close ties to the CCP, they would still be attending the CCP plenary.
This Sydney tradie told his wife they would visit family abroad. Instead, he allegedly abandoned her in PakistanBy Amber SchultzSeptember 25, 2024 — 7.50pm
Listen to this article
3 min
A Sydney tradie has been charged with human trafficking after allegedly tricking his wife into travelling to Pakistan and abandoning her there without her passport.
Ali Rahimi was arrested on Wednesday morning following a nine-month joint investigation by the Australian Federal Police and the Department of Foreign Affairs.
The 29-year-old has been charged with one count of exit trafficking, a form of modern slavery in which women are deceived or coerced into leaving Australia and prevented from returning, an offense which carries a maximum penalty of 12 years’ imprisonment.
Wearing a faded black jacket and grey shirt, the Auburn-based tiler was granted bail at Burwood Local Court on Wednesday afternoon.
Police will allege Rahimi told his wife Sohalia they were travelling to his home country Afghanistan and then on to her home country Pakistan to see family in July 2023, and retained control of the pair’s tickets, passports and visas during the trip.
Rahami then allegedly said he was going back to Afghanistan to visit friends, leaving her in Pakistan without her passport. She later discovered in September 2023 that he had returned to Australia alone, police say.

It seems the Big Horn had been looking after two carrier strike groups up until very recently, in other words an unusually high tempo of operation.
I’m betting it was a breakdown and/or crew fatigue. It’s not the only USN ship to have a grounding in recent times.
USN does have a very stretched ability to keep carrier strike groups fully supplied however.
Okay, but does the last comment help you to appreciate Arnie’s economic opinions have less value than used dental floss.

I’ve read enough about insulin resistance. Unfortunately measuring insulin is not covered under a full blood count. Last week a surprising report regarding one cause: a “molecular mesh” that prevents insulin finding the receptor. A proxy for insulin resistance: fasting glucose challenge.
Big Horn would be near the carrier group. The carrier group would be some distance from the coast. Upon what exactly would it have ‘run aground’?
I’ve seen this argument before. Did Arnie say he disagreed with it or any part of it? In any event it’s crap anyway.
The oilier is unnecessary for the carrier of course, since USN carriers are nuclear. The support vessels aren’t though, especially the Arleigh-Burkes.
In today’s Oz, Janet A has written a blistering piece excoriating the BCA and woke businesses and corporates. Whilst I enjoyed reading her piece, and of course I agreed with almost every word she wrote, there’s nothing in her piece that we here on the Cat, over the years, haven’t said about virtue signalling woke corporates and the BCA.
The Cat IS always ahead when it comes to opinion.
It struck me as an incredulous idea. Modern torpedoes are designed to break the spine of the ship.
And they’re going to be with the carrier. So what exactly did it run aground upon?

US Navy Oiler Runs Aground, Forcing Carrier Strike Group to Scramble for Fuel
Apparently, the original news source.
With absolutely zero mil-value-add, this sounds like a massive systemic US logistical cockup. Like everyone else, I’ve no idea how the Big Horn rudder compartment was damaged, but, unless it was a sooper-special very, very gentle torpedo, nobody would be in any doubt that an explosion had occurred.
In other ArmChairPundit news:
The 2024 October Suprise (and revenge on Israel/Great Satan) may be Iran withdrawing from the NPT – blaming Israel and the US for their ‘horrible behaviours’, while offering to climb down as equals – and changing the ME nuclear calculus forever. With general quiet approval and tacit support of those who hate the West.
Looking at Iran’s nuclear program through an energy prism, there is zero technical reason for (massively expensively) enriching uranium to 60% U238 other than to present a threat of two weeks to Bomb Grade.
Time to shine, Ayatollahs; before your poxy proxies are turned to mince.
I’ll say this Dover. This is an interesting take from the dude Arnie linked to.
With Musk, Tulsi and RFK it will be a very different administration than the one we saw in his first term.
If there is another Mar a Lago summit with a solid agreement, it could also quieten shit down in the MidEast too.

Re the USNS Big Horn, if it was hit by a torpedo, it must have been a very small torpedo. Those things are designed to sink ships, not put small holes in them.
I recall a description of one Soviet torpedo in the 1980s: “It’s a real ship killer.”

Today’s Tele from the Bolta:
ISRAEL AGAIN DEMONISED MERELY FOR SURVIVING
ANDREW BOLT
26 Sep 2024
Those bloody Israelis have just started yet another war. Or so I hear from journalists curdled by our toxic victim politics.
Much of the coverage is stunning in its ignorance – or omissions.
Exhibit A: The ABC announces “Israel unleashes heavy strikes on Lebanon”. No, this is not an attack on Lebanon. Israel is instead firing back at the Hezbollah terrorist army that’s overrun a third of that country.
Exhibit B: Sky News UK tweets that “Hezbollah has been provoked like never before by Israel and may be tempted to unleash its firepower”.
No, it’s exactly the other way around. Israel has been provoked by Hezbollah firing 8000 missiles and rockets in just the past year, and now unleashes its firepower.
But up bobs our Foreign Minister, Penny Wong, demanding Israel stop: “Escalation is in no one’s interest”.
Really? As I said seven months ago, after speaking to leading Israeli military experts and politicians, Israel would eventually hit back at Hezbollah because it has a country to save.
This war with Hezbollah didn’t start last week, when Israel detonated up to 5000 booby-trapped pagers which Hezbollah had issued to its fighters.
Hezbollah, funded by fascist Iran, has been attacking Israel for years – attacking Lebanese Christians, too, as it turned Beirut from the “Paris of the Middle East” to another Middle Eastern slum.
It’s built an army of up to 100,000 men, separate to the Lebanese army, and hidden an armoury of more than 120,000 missiles and rockets, all destined for Israeli targets.
Since October 7, it’s fired dozens of them almost daily into northern Israel, forcing 60,000 Israelis to flee their homes. One missile killed 12 Druze children in an Israeli playground.
But Israel’s leaders feared even worse. It knew Hezbollah also had plans to do its own October 7 on Israel, but bigger.
Was Israel meant to endure all this forever?
Wong says Israel should negotiate, as if it’s possible to make a genuine deal with Islamist terrorists who’ve vowed to wipe Israel off the map as an abomination.
Look what happened to the deal the United Nations reaffirmed in 2006 to keep southern Lebanon free of Hezbollah military and weapons up to the Litani river.
The UN even sent peacekeepers, yet that area now bristles with Hezbollah.
Not that many reporters see the con. TV reporters now groan that Israel is bombing homes of Lebanese civilians, without them notice something odd about the footage of several such attacks – footage I’ve shown on my Sky News Australia show.
There’s often the initial explosion from an Israeli missile, followed by a chain of explosions as Hezbollah missiles, rockets and bombs hidden inside go off.
Don’t these journalists wonder why Hezbollah would store explosives right next to people’s homes?
The answer is easy. Like Hamas, Hezbollah doesn’t mind Israel killing Muslim civilians. Hamas doesn’t even build bomb shelters for its people.
That’s because every dead civilian is terrorist propaganda to get western journalists and politicians to attack the wicked Jews.
So it’s Israel, not Hezbollah, that sends Lebanese civilians warnings on their phones to stay 1km away from Hezbollah sites.
Long lines of cars now snake out of Hezbollah strongholds. I’m sure Israel still accidentally kills civilian men, women and children, but do journalists actually check Hezbollah claims of war crimes?
America’s ABC, for instance, reports: “Lebanese journalist’s home hit by Israeli strike during news interview”. I’ve seen the footage of Fadi Boudaya being blown off his chair. Israel targeting a journalist!
What’s not reported is that Boudaya heads a Hezbollah propaganda arm. The Iranian regime’s official mouthpiece, the Islamic Republic News Agency, says his “Maraya international magazine takes steps in line with Resistance policies”.
This anti-Israel spin isn’t just ignorance. It’s also a product of the West’s cancerous culture of victimhood, where the poor are always the victim, never the authors of their misery. Israel, being rich and Western, must of course be the villain. That it’s clever and rich enough that it kills more fighters than it loses is seen as just more proof that it’s evil.
That’s why Israel cannot even be forgiven now for defending itself from an enemy that’s fired thousands of rockets into its towns.
As if. The only time the Left really sympathised with Israel was just after millions of Jews were slaughtered. When Jews fight back, not so much.
But Israel isn’t into being the victim any more. It would rather fight than die, whatever Penny Wong may say.

ACTIVISTS WANT BENEFITS WHILE DELIVERING ALL THE BLAME
Andrew Bolt
26 Sep 2024
Jim Everett is one of the Aboriginal activists who still don’t realise how things have changed since Australians voted No to the Voice.
Many Australians have had it with racial division, with chancers playing the race card. And now they say so.
Yet there’s Everett, poet and former Aboriginal Liaison Officer in Tasmania’s government, refusing this week to turn up to a court hearing on charges over an anti-logging protest.
This court had no say over Aborigines, declared Everett: “The colonial court of Tasmania has no jurisdiction over my actions to protect Palawa law in country”.
Everett has boasted he has an “Aboriginal passport”, issued by the so-called Aboriginal Provisional Government, but his rejection of our colonial system goes only so far.
He also keeps an Australian passport “so that I can get money, jobs, Centrelink, the age pension”.
So Everett doesn’t want colonial courts, but does want colonial money, colonial jobs and all the rest. He rejects our rule of law, but wants the riches it produces – including Aboriginal activists.
This is an important point, because Everett represents a wider faux-rejection of Australia and its Western civilisation.
States like Victoria even want to negotiate “treaties” with people identifying as “First Nations”, as if they, too, aren’t Australians. The Albanese government appointed a “First Nations Ambassador”, as if Aborigines now need their own diplomatic representation.
This is a dead-end movement fed by endless counting of scabs and scars, not blessings.
Yes campaigner Thomas Mayo was at it again yesterday, still blaming colonialism for all the dysfunction we see in Aboriginal communities: “These things are not to do with Indigenous culture”.
Really? None of the violence, domestic abuse and child neglect that’s worst in remote Aboriginal communities – where Aboriginal culture is strongest – has anything to do with Aboriginal culture?
This fashion of damning and rejecting colonial culture is a fraud. Many activists I see pushing the new separatist agenda seem to me to be enjoying the fruits of colonialism while hating the tree.
I see black-identifying academics in comfortable university jobs. I see the nattily-suited Mayo – actually with substantial Filipino, Dayak, Polish, Jewish and English ancestry as well – flogging his latest book. I see race-baiting Lidia Thorpe, paid well as a Senator, lolling in the Qantas chairman’s lounge. I see Everett, insisting on his right to welfare benefits no Aboriginal “nation” had.
None strike me as serious. They rage against society, but would do more good by giving thanks for the luxuries in which they now recline.
Quite rightly so.
Satin is made from synthetic fiber and is not breathable. Pure silk on the other hand is breathable and temperature regulating which means it would keep you cool on a hot night and warm on a cold one.

Biden’s UN curtain call lays bare his biggest foreign policy blunders
Adam Creighton
26 Sep 2024
President Joe Biden’s swan song at the UN on Tuesday (Wednesday AEST) amounted to little more than a futile attempt to dress up his foreign policy failures across the past few years.
The surge in international conflicts, of course, can’t all be sheeted home to the Biden administration, but the world has become an undeniably more dangerous place since he came to office.
America’s prestige has sunk, both inside and outside the country. The share of Americans who think the rest of the world looks on their country with optimism has halved from 79 per cent 20 years ago to 42 per cent this year, according to regular Gallup surveys.
In highly populous countries such as India, China and Bangladesh, most of Africa and the Middle East, most voters view Russia at least as favourably as the US, which is a shocking indictment given Moscow’s illegal invasion of Ukraine.
Prabowo Subianto, the incoming president of Indonesia, the largest Muslim nation, jetted off to Moscow in late July to meet Russian President Vladimir Putin.
The central problem here for the US is its increasing hypocrisy on foreign policy issues, with the gap between the Biden administration’s rhetoric and its behaviour becoming wider and wider.
In his farewell address to the UN, Biden urged Israel to negotiate a ceasefire with its enemies in the Middle East, at the same time calling on the world to keep backing Ukraine in its war against Russia. Setting aside the fact the Biden administration is providing the Israeli and Ukrainian governments with vast and seemingly uncapped quantities of ammunition, how can it sustain this apparent double standard?
The Russia-Ukraine war has gone on much longer than the Middle East conflict, killed many more people and, arguably, presents a far greater risk of a nuclear confrontation. But apparently it is Israel that should make greater efforts to make a lasting peace with its neighbours.
As is the case with most US presidents, Biden’s UN speech sought to present his foreign policy decisions as motivated by the high principles of democracy, peace, sovereignty and the rule of law.
But even a cursory glance shows it is related far more to US self-interest. The US has no interest in a wider war in the Middle East into which it could be drawn to protect Israel. It does have an interest, however, in “weakening Russia to the point where it can’t do the things it has been doing”, as US Defence Secretary Lloyd Austin has said. And what better way to do that than paying another country to do the fighting? This is brutal realpolitik; certainly not the actions of a selfless global power, concerned with the maintenance of liberal internationalism.
“Full-scale war (in the Middle East) is not in anyone’s interest. Even as the situation has escalated, a diplomatic solution is still possible,” Biden said in his UN speech.
Earlier this month, former US State Department mandarin Victoria Nuland intimated what Ukrainian negotiators have already revealed: that the US and Britain pressured Ukraine to tear up a tentative April 2022 peace treaty with Russia on terms that, in hindsight, look favourable.
Of course this is how powerful nations behave. But genuine attempts for global peace surely would benefit if the US dialled down the hypocrisy, which can only infuriate its closest allies.
In 1972, when Biden entered the US Senate, the world had to put up with constant claims of America’s moral superiority. After all, the US was by far the richest and freest nation, comprising about a third of the global GDP in purchasing power terms.
Now that share has fallen to 15 per cent, while the stark ideological divisions of the Cold War have withered away. Indeed, the US is starting to look more like Europe, even China, with its burgeoning national security apparatus frequently found to be spying on citizens and foreigners alike.
Many US states, including the largest ones, sought to copy China’s totalitarian response to Covid-19. The free speech protections that so distinguished the US look set to be watered down in the event Kamala Harris wins the presidential election in November. Her vice-presidential running mate, Tim Walz, already has signalled a government crackdown on so-called misinformation.
This month, unnamed intelligence officials revealed that Washington was concerned about the possibility Russia could sever undersea cables, which must have triggered guffaws in Moscow. This, after the US had (at the very least) advance knowledge, according to The Wall Street Journal, of the biggest act of industrial sabotage ever – the blowing up the Nord Stream natural gas pipelines.
In what must have prompted further hilarity around the same time, Washington scolded Russia for interfering in US elections after the US Justice Department alleged a few so-called right-wing commentators had accepted a little under $US6m from state broadcaster Russia Today via another US media company.
Moscow’s purchase of a couple of hundred thousand dollars’ worth of Facebook ads ahead of the 2016 election was probably money better spent in a bid to influence a presidential election where the two major parties spend tens of billions of dollars.
Moscow’s and Beijing’s piddling, primitive efforts to influence the US election pale in comparison to American efforts across decades to influence other countries’ elections, extending to toppling democratically elected governments not to Washington’s taste.
The US has even admitted to spending $US5bn between 1991 and 2013 in Ukraine, an astonishing sum in local currency terms, for “building democracy”. In a famous 2018 interview on Fox News with Laura Ingraham, former CIA director James Woolsey flat out admitted the US meddled in other countries’ elections and continued to do so “only for a good cause”.
None of this is lost on the rest of the world. A Pew survey from June last year found 82 per cent of people in 23 nations thought the US interfered in the affairs of other countries.
In short, the US should stop insisting it’s the pope of all nations, and acknowledge that it is motivate by self interest. The moralising, supercilious US foreign policy establishment hated Trump as president because he sought to establish good personal relations with the leaders of Russia, North Korea and others. “There are a lot of killers. You think our country’s so innocent?” he said to a stunned Bill O’Reilly in 2017, refusing to insult Putin as president.
For all its faults, the US remains a benevolent empire. But, ironically, it could burnish its influence by dialling down the hypocrisy as it navigates an increasingly complex and dangerous 21st-century landscape.
Poetic.

It’s the fire risk – not the space available that is the first consideration.
IIRC, the USN lost a carrier during WW2 due to two factors. The overstocking of fuel for the aircraft, and the specialisation of the fire fighting teams. The ?Kamikaze took out the vast majority of the firefighters, and because it was assumed they’d deal with the fires, the crew weren’t trained up.
Scratch one flattop whose name escapes me even though I can see the photograph of the vessel burning in my memory.
Just a light drizzle out west here. BOM gets it wrong again. The BOM girlie on breakfast TV primarily talking about Sydney which is getting a bit of coastal drenching but contradictory report on what rural NSW can expect. Admittedly it can change rapidly & we use YR which is generally accurate.

Vivek Ramaswamy: Trump, Conservatism, Nationalism, Immigration, and War | Lex Fridman Podcast #445
Lex Fridman
Video Summary### Summary In the Lex Fridman Podcast episode featuring Vivek Ramaswamy, the conversation delves into a variety of pressing political topics, including conservatism, progressivism, government bureaucracy, foreign policy, and immigration. Ramaswamy emphasizes the need for a revitalized conservative vision in America, articulating criticisms of both the current political establishment and progressive ideologies. He discusses the challenge of political narratives and the role of government in people’s lives, advocating for a significant reduction in federal bureaucracy and the termination of what he refers to as the “Nanny State.” The dialogue also encompasses Ramaswamy’s perspectives on foreign relations, particularly regarding Russia and China, and highlights his approach to engaging in open debates with those who hold opposing views. ### Key Points by Sections **Introduction (0:00)** – Vivek Ramaswamy is introduced as a conservative politician and author. – He ran for president and aims to offer a vision for the future of conservatism in America. **Conservatism (2:02)** – Modern conservatism lacks a clear vision and focus on what it stands for. – Emphasizes key conservative ideals: meritocracy, free speech, self-governance, and rule of law. – Urges a revival of America’s foundational values and a national identity anchored in civic nationalism. **Progressivism (5:18)** – Acknowledges the progressive argument that American ideals have not been fully achieved due to historical injustices. – Offers a counterargument highlighting that pursuing progressive policies often rekindles the same problems they aim to solve. **Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (10:52)** – Ramaswamy critiques the DEI framework for sacrificing meritocracy and genuine diversity of thought. – Argues that DEI practices promote divisions rather than unity. **Bureaucracy (15:45)** – Views bureaucracy as a significant impediment to effective governance. – Proposes a drastic reduction (75%) of federal bureaucratic positions to restore self-governance. **Government Efficiency (22:36)** – Stresses the need for government efficiency and accountability, advocating for a substantial cut in government size. – Suggests sending bureaucrats home and rescinding unnecessary regulations. **Education (37:46)** – Calls for rethinking education policy, suggesting that state and local governments should handle it rather than the federal level. – Emphasizes the importance of educational choice. **Military-Industrial Complex (52:11)** – Critiques the current military spending levels and urges a shift towards defending the homeland rather than foreign engagements. – Advocates for a clear strategy to address threats posed by alliances like Russia and China. ### Other Notable Topics – Ramaswamy discusses the need for immigration reform based on honesty and rule of law. – He highlights the importance of rebuilding national identity and pride in American citizenship. – Addresses strategic considerations for U.S. foreign policy in light of global challenges posed by China and Russia. – Ramaswamy expresses optimism about the potential for future political endeavors, particularly if a conducive political landscape emerges.

The oilers rely on other ships for defence – they carry very little defensive or offensive armament, and very little in the way of detection gear.
The oiler wouldn’t know Jack Shit until the torpedo exploded. But passive detection by the escorts? Depending where the escorts are, but yes if they were in a convoy formation, with a couple of subs in attendance, the sound of the torpedo bay being flooded and the opening of the hatch would stand out like the proverbial.
But if – as someone pointed out yesterday – she was between two Battle Groups, she would have been a sitting duck.
The Kamikaze took out the vast majority of the firefighters, and because it was assumed they’d deal with the fires, the crew weren’t trained up.
That culture (over specialisation) was a part of US military culture 54 years ago.
I hadn’t realised it went back to WW2, although I remember my father (RAAF – PNG WW2) talking about it.
As we stay in the classics, they had all the gear and no idea.
“They’re Lying About Your History” – Rafe Heydel-Mankoo
Triggernometry
Video Summary### Summary In this episode of Triggernometry featuring historian Rafe Heydel-Mankoo, the conversation addresses the politicization of history education, the myths surrounding British history, and the legacy of the British Empire. Heydel-Mankoo critiques contemporary narratives that portray the British as uniquely culpable for historical injustices, including slavery and colonialism, while arguing that the British Empire has also contributed positively to global development. The dialogue emphasizes the importance of accessing original historical sources and critical thinking to build a balanced understanding of history. Additionally, the discussion explores demographic changes in modern Britain and their implications for societal cohesion, alongside the challenges of integrating diverse communities. ### Key Points #### 1. **Corrupted, Politicized History Education (0:40)** – The current educational system promotes a biased narrative influenced by leftist ideologies. – Historians from conservative backgrounds are significantly underrepresented in academia. – The skewed perspectives in education hinder students’ ability to critically evaluate history. #### 2. **Seek Out Actual Historical Sources (4:00)** – To gain a more accurate understanding of history, one should read primary sources, memoirs, and diverse viewpoints. – It is crucial to balance historical narratives by exploring both left-leaning and alternative perspectives. #### 3. **Debunking Historical Myths (5:05)** – There are prevalent myths about British history that need to be challenged, such as the portrayal of Britain as solely culpable for colonialism and slavery. – Historical narratives should not be judged by contemporary standards but understood within their context. #### 4. **Why the British Empire Was Great (7:39)** – The British Empire, while imperfect, contributed positively to many societies, promoting democracy, infrastructure, and the abolition of slavery. – Comparatively, the British Empire was more benign than other empires in history. #### 5. **The Revolution Has Already Happened (11:00)** – Modern society has undergone a cultural revolution that complicates discussions about history and national identity. – Current norms in education and media reflect a shift towards critiquing traditional narratives and figures. #### 6. **Economic Impact of Ending Slavery (12:41)** – The British voluntarily impoverished themselves to abolish slavery, a morally significant but underappreciated act of courage. #### 7. **Surprising Historical Facts (13:24)** – Many students are shocked to learn about the wider context of slavery and the numerous instances of slavery occurring throughout human history. #### 8. **Demographic Changes and Their Effects (Final Section)** – The UK’s demographic shifts present challenges for national unity and integration. – Large-scale immigration has led to isolated communities, complicating societal cohesion. – The discussion calls for a reevaluation of how integration and community-building can be fostered amid increasing diversity. Overall, the episode presents a defense of British history against current critical narratives and a call to recognize both the positive and negative impacts of historical actions, emphasizing the need for balanced and informed discussions about the past.
Getting a few things muddled together. It was Battle of Coral Sea. The burnt out US carrier was Lexington. The DCO on Yorktown saw Lexington burning and realised why/how and suggested purging hanger fuel lines with CO2. Suggestion taken up by the time of Midway, US never lost a carrier thee same way through the war. Japs never caught on to the trick.
Scratch one flat top refers to the sinking of the Shoho.

It’s government spending, stupid!
I found this oldish piece by Gerard hendeson, weitten at the time of the 50th anniversay of the end of Australia’s committment in Vietnam.
Gerard’s contributions are in italics –
He set out to debunk myths, but created a few of his own –
“All Australian men and women who served in Vietnam arrived in that nation at ports or on airfields controlled by the anti-communist government in Saigon (now called Ho Chi Minh City). There was no invasion.”
Depends what you mean by “invasion”, Gerard. When I arrived in Vietnam I disembarked from HMAS Sydney aboard a landing craft. Nobody was shooting at us, but to any dispassionate observer the activity would have looked very much like an invasion.
When I went out on operations with my infantry unit, we moved through country that was not controlled by the South Vietnamese government. That was why we were armed, patrolled without noise, and put out sentries at night. We behaved exactly like an invading army.
“The conflict between communist North Vietnam and non-communist South Vietnam was concluded in April 1975 when the North Vietnamese Army, with assistance of the Viet Cong in South Vietnam, who supported the Hanoi regime, conquered Saigon.”
To call North Vietnamese “Communist” and South Vietnam “Non – Communist” is a gross over-simplification. Vietnam was essentially a war of national liberation, a point made by our current Governor-General (who served in Vietnam as a platoon commander) when he was interviewed by the ABC on 19 March 2012. From the interview with Peter Cosgrove –
EPSTEIN: Does that mean that you think the war was fought tactically wrong or the perception that the perceived communist threat required an Australian response in Vietnam, was that perception incorrect?
COSGROVE: I don’t think the political environment inside South Vietnam was conducive to an enduring democratic state. I think the people in Vietnam across the board, ultimately seemed to prefer self-determination rather than the presence of a large number of foreign troops.
Obviously, Gerard has a different view of the history than someone who participated in it, and has an experience of the military reality.
“The star performer in the Ratcliffe package was Bowden. He complained that he could not get all his reports from Vietnam run on the public broadcaster at the time and provided the following explanation: “At that stage the (ABC) news executives were mostly old newspaper men, a lot of Catholics, and they saw the war as a holy crusade.”
What Bowden reports is accurate. Gerard has obviously forgotten B A Santamaria. Without the influence of the Movement, and the Catholic Right in the DLP, it is debatable whether the Coalition would have stayed in power long enough to send conscripts to a war in a foreign country in peacetime. Tell me, Gerard, when in our history has this been done before or since?
As for ” few, if any, supporters of Australia’s Vietnam commitment regarded it as a “holy crusade” Gerard was obviously not attending Sunday mass in a conservative diocese and listening to sermons about the evils of Communism as I was back then before I was called up.
“This focus on the Vietnam protest movement overlooks the fact most Australians supported the commitment.”
Again, a complete over simplification. There were two issues. One was sending troops to Vietnam, the other was conscription. Support for the commitment was initially strong, but began to wane during and after the Moratorium marches which took place in 1970, the year I was in Vietnam.
Support for conscription was never strong, and when the two issues became conflated, it became apparent very quickly, that community support for the troops was no longer there. That was an untenable situation, and Vietnam veterans suffered almost as much when they came home as they did in theatre. The government in power at the time bears as much responsibility for this situation as the anti war protestors. They conscripted us and sent us – not the protestors.
“As Edwards acknowledges, the US-led Vietnam commitment delayed a communist victory by 10 years — much to the benefit of nations such as Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia and Singapore. This was also to Australia’s advantage.”
There is another way of looking at this. The continued support of a series of corrupt “governments” in South Vietnam may have simple prolonged the agony, and contributed to the millions of civilian casualties, and the hundreds of thousands who fled the country in boats post the 1975 capitulation.
.
History is sacred, Gerard, especially to those who lived it.
Don’t rewrite it.
I get into the office this morning and the automatic news feed that every new has a Sky News story from 21 hours ago clamouring that a Reuters poll shows Kamala has increased her lead over Trump by a further 5% – putting her now at 46.1% and Trump at 40.5%.
Does this poll tell us about Trump and Harris? Or, as I see it, about Reuters?
The Silenced Doctor Taking AHPRA To Court – Dr William Bay
Video Summary### Summary: In this episode of Nugget’s News, Dr. William Bay discusses his legal battle against the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA) stemming from his criticism of COVID-19 vaccines and related government policies. He has faced suspension of his medical license for expressing these views, which he argues infringes upon free speech and undermines the medical profession’s integrity. Dr. Bay’s case is significant as it may influence the regulatory framework governing healthcare in Australia and aims to restore freedom of speech for medical practitioners. He expresses concern over the consolidation of regulatory power and advocates for a decentralized approach to healthcare governance, emphasizing the importance of allowing doctors to prioritize patient care above bureaucratic mandates. ### Key Points by Section: **Introduction:** – Introduction of Dr. William Bay, who has faced challenges within the healthcare system due to his outspoken views on COVID-19 vaccinations. – Importance of Dr. Bay’s legal case against AHPRA in the context of healthcare freedom in Australia. **Background:** – Dr. Bay’s current prosecution in the Queensland civil tribunal for criticizing government COVID-19 vaccine policies. – His medical license has been suspended for over two years due to allegations of threatening public health. – Details of his court case, including pre-trial and main trial dates, focusing on the legality of AHPRA’s actions. **Censorship and Healthcare Ethics:** – Reflection on the moral decline among healthcare professionals during the pandemic. – A personal anecdote highlighting the inability to speak freely about potential vaccine-related health issues in a clinical setting. – Formation of the Queensland People’s Protest to address concerns over vaccine safety and healthcare censorship. **Personal Journey and Skepticism:** – Dr. Bay’s skepticism of vaccines and government policies developed over time, influenced by significant events and exposure to alternative media. – Critique of the medical education system’s failure to adequately scrutinize vaccine efficacy and safety. – Discussion on the lack of opposing viewpoints in medical discourse. **Concerns about Regulatory Authority:** – Assertion that AHPRA’s regulatory framework is unconstitutional and lacks proper legal authority. – Allegations that government and regulatory bodies have prioritized public confidence over patient care. – Criticism of the healthcare system’s current structure and the impact on medical practitioners’ ability to advocate for their patients. **Future of Healthcare:** – Dr. Bay’s hopes for a shift towards decentralized medical governance and the restoration of free speech for healthcare professionals. – Emphasis on the need for individualized and localized healthcare solutions rather than blanket national policies. – Advocacy for returning to state-based medical boards to enhance accountability and patient-centered care. **Call to Action:** – Invitation for viewers to support Dr. Bay’s mission for decentralized healthcare and to challenge the current regulatory practices in Australia. – Final thoughts on the importance of free speech and the need for systemic change within the healthcare industry. This comprehensive overview of the conversation encapsulates Dr. Bay’s experiences and the broader implications for the healthcare system in Australia amidst ongoing debates surrounding vaccines and medical censorship.

Exactly.
I read in a book (sadly I cannot remember the name of the book) that this particular explosion was used to help calculate the blast effects of the atomic bomb during its development:
Halifax Explosion
Interesting wording from Kim Williams overnight re the ABC’s inquiry into audio of five gunshots being ‘cut and pasted’ into video in a report on former commando Heston Russell.
Wiliams stated the inquiry will recommend “corrective action.”
Does that preclude disciplinary action?
The government has been telling them to leave since at least July.
If we have to send warships to evacuate them – like last time – can we at least bill them for the trouble and expense and deduct it from their pensions?
We can call it “corrective action.”
So what could Trump offer Putin and Xi?
What he did last time to bring about world peace: Give Xi the run of Mar-a-Lago and bomb the shit out of puttie’s overseas military assets, followed up by a dozen bottles of vodka.
The ABC will redouble their efforts to confuse, muddle, obfuscate, delay, and misdirect to make sure that no one who ever catches them being dishonest will ever be able to drag it into the full light of day again.
It is almost like having comments!

This was such a wild moment. It’s like when Professor J. Alex Halderman used a pen to hack a Dominion machine in front of a federal judge a few months ago. I pray for the day when we will finally ditch these machines and start hand-counting all our votes like a serious country.
Peta Credlin (Paywallian):
The Moira Deeming saga now playing out in the Federal Court, in her defamation action against state Liberal leader John Pesutto, is essentially about the long-term gutlessness of the Victorian Liberal parliamentary team.
To Pesutto, Deeming’s real crime is not that she was at a rally gatecrashed by neo-Nazis but that she’s a conservative. That’s why he wanted her gone.
Yet if outspoken conservatives have no place in the Victorian parliamentary Liberal Party, why would any conservative vote for them?
Remember, Deeming is suing Pesutto because to have her expelled from the state Liberal partyroom she claims he described her as an associate of Nazi sympathisers (his descriptor of feminist activists Angie Jones and Kellie-Jay Keen).
Of course Pesutto is now trying to walk all that back, but he’s not helped by the existence of a secret recording from a meeting where this is pretty much said, and the fact he settled out of court with a public apology to Jones and Keen.
What has become clear, though, after a week and a half of hearings is that Pesutto’s antipathy towards Deeming was never about who gatecrashed the rally in March last year. Rather, his real purpose in seeking to remove Deeming was to purge the parliamentary party of a strong conservative woman.
First, because he feared her presence would expose him to criticism in his own ultra-marginal, teal-like seat, because he has misread the fight for women’s rights as a left v right issue when it unites women (and men) across the political spectrum. And, second, because he feared he couldn’t stand up to premier Daniel Andrews’ charge that the Libs were guilty by association with neo-Nazis just because Deeming had been at the gatecrashed rally.
In other words, this whole expensive and drawn-out exercise in washing the party’s dirty linen in public was triggered by Pesutto’s fear of being portrayed as too right wing to govern Victoria; indeed, it’s something he specifically references in the secret recording.
It’s a classic case of allowing your opponents to dictate your actions. And yet another example of the Victorian Liberals being so utterly spooked by Andrews that they end up looking politically paralysed and, frankly, pathetic.
For the record, I should state that before this Deeming row I regarded Pesutto as one of their few viable options to lead a depleted Liberal parliamentary team into the next election. Indeed, earlier I’d been asked to help him to develop a strong opposition leader’s office and a credible political program, which I did.
But when he maligned Deeming as guilty by association and failed to defend the rights of women, he lost me; and, as I’ve made public, I felt compelled to defend the underdog in Deeming.
Since that time, I’ve worked with various party intermediaries to encourage both Pesutto and Deeming to avoid going to court as defamation trials rarely have a winner and this unedifying display we’re witnessing now is the last thing Victorians need when they’re crying out for a change of government.
But, in the end, it’s the leader who has the fundamental responsibility to keep the team together. For 18 months now, Pesutto has defended his original decision to expel Deeming as an alleged neo-Nazi associate on the grounds that to retreat would make him seem weak.
In fact, admitting to an initial over-reaction would more likely have made him seem the bigger man. What’s now set to damn his leadership is that these two serious errors of judgment – first, making a big mistake; and, second, refusing to own up to it – seem to amount to the major character flaw of being incapable of ever admitting to being wrong.
Perhaps Deeming, a brand-new MP, could have handled the rally and its aftermath better. But it was no secret she intended to go; indeed, she spoke about it in the parliament as she urged Labor’s minister for women to attend.
As leader, Pesutto might have told her then that he didn’t support her going; he might have offered her mentorship or suggestions about how best to channel her undoubted courage and support for women’s rights.
Instead, as evidence in court has shown, once Andrews had savaged the Liberals as guilty by association with neo-Nazis, even though Deeming had not the slightest inkling that neo-Nazis would turn up, Pesutto threw her under a bus.
Instead of gritting his teeth and defending Deeming’s right to free speech and excusing her from any blame over the gatecrashers, Pesutto went to water.
The next day he summoned Deeming to a meeting with the four-person Liberal leadership group and had her berated for exposing the Liberals to a smear campaign from the premier.
It was the secret recording of this meeting, made by the Liberal deputy leader David Southwick, that was played last week in court.
In it, Pesutto accepted that Deeming was not a neo-Nazi or a neo-Nazi associate, and further accepted that she had a right to speak freely against biological males invading female-only spaces such as toilets and change rooms, but asserted that these views would be better expressed from the crossbench and invited her to sit as an independent. So, it was less the turn-up of neo-Nazis to Deeming’s rally that had angered Pesutto but Deeming being there in the first place in support of women’s rights.
This was a continuation of the Victorian Liberal establishment’s aversion to anything and anyone that could be described as conservative – even though plenty of old-style leftist feminists such as JK Rowling have been aghast at the erosion of women’s rights in favour of biological men who merely identify as women.
Even in evidence on Wednesday, Pesutto could not outright condemn the example of a male rapist being put in a women’s prison because they now self-identified as a woman.
It is Pesutto’s views that are out of step with rank-and-file Liberals, not Deeming’s; the mere fact Deeming remains a member of the Victorian Liberal Party (as opposed to the parliamentary team) is evidence of her support among the base because it shows that Pesutto doesn’t have the numbers to remove her.
The result of Pesutto’s implacable fight to the finish to be rid of Deeming, not because she’s a neo-Nazi sympathiser but just because she’s a conservative, has divided and demoralised the wider Liberal Party in Victoria without reaping any apparent electoral benefit.
Sure, on some polls, the state Liberals are finally competitive with Labor. But as Peter Dutton has observed, given the longevity and record of the Andrews-Allan government, the state Libs should be at least as far in front in Victoria as they are in Queensland.
That they are not is attributable to ongoing internal division (because if you can’t govern yourselves, you can’t govern the state) and the lack of a clear contest of ideas and policy. Indeed, at the most recent state election the Victorian opposition’s policy was left of Labor on some issues, with the net result that even after the world’s longest lockdowns Labor won a record third term, thus illustrating one of politics’ iron laws: Labor-lite Liberals lose.
As Dutton has shown, even in Victoria the Liberals can be competitive if they create a contest against a bad Labor government and they are now competitive in at least four Victorian seats.
If only Pesutto had shown as much fight against Labor as he has against Deeming.
As with all your other anecdotes, that was from a movie.

’employed’on Centrelink payments.Winston, re the burning US carrier in WW II.
Probably the USS Franklin, hit off Okinawa. Some 800 of the crew were killed, but the ship was saved and returned to the USA under he own power. The film of Franklin, burning from bow to stern but still under way, is dramatic.
She was scrapped, as the end of the war meant that repair was unnecessary.
USS Bunker Hill was also hit off Okinawa, losing around 400 dead. IIRC, she was repaired and brought back into service.
Another possible candidate was the USS Princeton, hit during the Battle of Leyte Gulf, and later scuttled by her own crew.
REVEALED: Secret Service was informed of Crooks 27 minutes before shots were fired in Butler, PA, never told Trump to get off stage
And now Iran is getting in on the act.

According to one of Denninger’s commenters a USN carrier has up to 20 million pounds of fuel on board. A Super Hornet full fuel load is 14000 pounds so you get about 1400 sorties. Minus the fuel required for the E2D Hawkeye, which will be over the top most of the time unless land based P-8s or EC-135’s/E3’s are providing the coverage. Minus the fuel carried in buddy packs for air re-fuelling and the CAP and the rescue/anti sub helos. Call it about 1000 effective strike missions. Air Group might be 75 Supers so you get about a dozen strike mission per aircraft before the carrier needs more fuel.
Winston, nowadays it is kero, not Avgas. The Navies were very keen to go to all turbine engines for this reason. I’m sure the damage control/fire suppression lessons of WW2 were learned and built in to new designs.
There is a US company which claims it has a process to make jet fuel on board from CO2 from seawater, water and energy from the nukes. Wonder if they have a listing on the stockmarket?
Great “Oreo” cartoon by Leak.
One of the things Labor won’t like about Twitter is how far and how fast cartoons like that can spread on Twitter. This was especially so during lead up to the Voice.

It’s a rapid decline.
Just three years ago the Greens notched up their best result ever in a federal election and formed part of the current coalition government.
Notable too is a split in ‘The Left’/’Die Linke’ (democratic socialists) over open borders with the breakaway anti-immigration/euro-sceptic party ‘BSW’ polling at 10% federally.
Of course it can’t indefinitely but neither does it have to go for resupply daily, and when it does it would tread well worn channels to and from port. It’s also interesting that Navy officials refused to divulge the exact location of the ‘running aground’.
No, last I heard it was being towed to Dubai.

South West Foodbowl invests in next generation with farming and agriculture career awareness daysAnjelica SmilovitisManjimup-Bridgetown Times
Wed, 25 September 2024 3:00AM
Students from across the South West will visit Nannup next month to learn about farming and agricultural careers — with South West FoodBowl organisers to invest in the next generation of food makers.
The South West FoodBowl agricultural awareness days will run on October 17 and 18, and are focused on South West students from primary school through to Year 10.
SWFB president Barbara Dunnet said the biennial event aimed to bridge the gap between farmers and the wider community — and showcase agriculture careers and training opportunities.
“We’ve done quite a few to date, and we’re expecting between 700 to 800 students to come to Nannup,” she said.
“When the students get to Nannup, they have a very intense program where they all visit one farm and we’ve got a heap of activities in town.”
Students will be shown the day-to-day operations, including the use of science on an orchard, the process of haymaking, milking cows, picking fruit and managing a farm.
Other agricultural activities range from seeing truffle dogs to fisheries activities to fencing demos and soil testing.
“That gives them a taste of the potential agricultural careers,” Ms Dunnet said.
Ms Dunnet said teaching young people about farming opportunities was an investment into the South West food bowl and future of agriculture.
“There’s not enough farmers, sons and daughters to provide food,” she said.
“People love food. They love going to restaurants, and they think it’s always going to be there.
“They don’t question food security, which is interesting in Australia, because I think we’re reaching a point where food security is going to be a fairly crucial industry issue.
“We’re importing so much. Those countries that are exporting food, if they’ve haven’t got enough to feed their own people, they’ll shove tariffs on it, and then what’s Australia going to do?”
Don Hancey from WA’s Food Ambassador will be attending to inspire the children to cook with seasonal local produce and build on their awareness about buying local food.
“Don’s going to work with the kids, and he’s also going to provide a dinner for the volunteers in the evening,” Ms Dunnet said.
She said many of the teachers also found the events educational for their own live
More European news:
France to follow Germany by increasing border patrols & expelling illegal ‘migrants.’
The new Interior Minister told the press on Tuesday that France and other like-minded European nations should join forces to compel the European Union to toughen its immigration laws.
Daily Mail
While this development has been in the works for some time, the announcement comes a week after a French teenager from an affluent Paris suburb was raped. murdered and buried in a park by a Moroccan slated for deportation after spending five years in prison for rape. A judge had ordered his release from detention because the EU deportation paperwork was taking too long to process.
Somewhat ironically, given Brexit, this would leave the UK under Labour as the only country in the region with an open door policy on irregular migration.

Childish behaviour of my part.
I have just binned another biography of J Edgar Hoover. I couldn’t continue with it. Putrid, perverted psychopath.
Irrational futile rage, unrealistic dreams of revenge, and possibly realistic comparisons with our current authoritarian elite were all too much.
I hold a generally positive attitude towards JFK (outside of the bedroom) but his moral cowardice in not standing up to Hoover’s blackmail massively diminishes his legacy. The consequences for criminality, social justice, civil rights and the US political system of this creature’s conspiracies are incalculable.
Interestingly, I experienced the same emotions when reading a biography of Soros. Hoover created a model for immorality. Our contemporary society is replete with Hoovers both public and private.
Maaaaate!
Keir Starmer admits: I accepted £20K free accommodation for my son
Sir Keir Starmer has defended moving into an £18 million penthouse owned by a prominent Labour donor during the general election campaign, saying it was so his son could study for his GCSEs without being distracted.
The Prime Minister said the donation-in-kind was to let his family stay away from home during the election to avoid the presence of journalists and protesters outside their north London residence.
It emerged this week that Starmer was given the use of an £18 million apartment in Covent Garden, central London, owned by the Labour peer and donor Lord Alli.
The flat was used by Starmer’s family for several weeks during the general election campaign.
The donation was declared by Starmer and dated from May 29 to July 13 in the MPs’ register of member’s financial interests. It was listed as being worth £20,437.28.
Starmer defended the decision after recent criticism over other donations from Lord Alli, including clothes and glasses.
Glasses?
I’m willing to put a bottle of red on Sausages Starmer not being the Labour leader for the next UK election.

Well, I have just submitted my submission to the revised (are they kidding??) Bill re “Misinformation”. In actual fact, because of the b—–y short period for submissions (the b——s!) I have just resubmitted my original submission to their first Bill.
But the rigmarole they have concocted to make it difficult is simply unbelievable. I was faced with incorrect passwords and then indecipherable instructions etc etc.
I persisted. I finally was able to download my submission which, incredibly, also downloaded a picture of my cows! There will be hoots of laughter in Canberra. But to hell with them. They can deal with it.

When are Australian voters going to wake up to the serious threat that the Greens represent to prosperity?
What “prosperity”?
The renting generation in the inner city electorates aren’t prospering.
That’s why they vote Green.
The Libertarians are conducting a rally opposing the Misinformation/Disinformation Bill at 11.30am Saturday 28th September at Speakers Corner, The Sydney Domain, Art Gallery Road.
I will be there and hope other Cats can make it.
The renting generation in the inner city electorates aren’t prospering.
That’s why they vote Green.
So the Greens can wreck what remains of any Australian industry and its jobs and resulting prosperity? Some body has to make the money to pay for the Welfare state.
Newsflash, Numbers, the Greens voters are well to do Doctor’s wives and others who are comfortable with their economic circumstances to very well off indeed (Also see Teals). I doubt there are all that many impoverished renters in the inner city suburbs. They are in outer suburbs.
