How to get cover for some instant arbritary action against your enemies?
..get Their ABC to explode an explosive exposay.
New South Wales Premier Chris Minns has promised to “weed out” the “horrific behaviour” in the state’s police force following “harrowing” revelations from an ABC News investigation.
Note, they’re only “relevations”, not yet evidence or even testimony.
ABC News has spoken to more than a dozen current and former officers who have made allegations of bullying, nepotism, sexism and a dangerous lack of support for officers suffering from PTSD.
Nothing to do with three years of N*zi Camp Giard activities under the aegis of the planned pandemic?
They claim the toxic culture has led to a mass exodus from the police force, contributing to an almost 20 per cent shortfall in officers across the state.
Aha, a claim! Razors out, Minns, go git ’em!
1400 years since mo slaughtered the Jews at Medina and the muslims started their attempts at world conquest (estimated that over a billion people have been murdered in their endless wars for el sham) but it’s still, somehow, the fault of Jews when muslims try to slaughter them.
You have Shiite imans in Lebanon putting fatwas on Hezbollah for the deaths of civilians they put in harm’s way but the armchair experts somewhere else know more about what’s happening.
Of course.
I was listening to the Bret Weinstein chat when I posted it. His ability to explain complex things, which have a direct bearing on our lives, simply is quite extraordinary.
Quite amazing that a bitter and twisted old socialist, who wants more government, gets more government in the form of conscription, doesn’t like it at all.
Noted that conscription is a form of slavery, and if you want an army you need to pay a market rate for people willing to risk their life.
IMO it’s come to this. I don’t care how many Mohammedans Israel kills. The less there are, the better we are off. The time for sensitivity is passed, we in the west have to accept that moslems intend to put the west under their sword. Fk em, fk em all.

Magistrate Alexandra Burt warned Evans “If you wish to part take in civil conversation you should do that in a lawful manner”.
But she granted him bail saying she didn’t think he needed close supervision given he “seems motivated by a political conscience”.
Mr Evans will have to obey conditions to stay away from the War Memorial, the ABC and other landmarks, unless he is in transit.
Of course he got bail.

It would have been nice to have had this sort of dedication to bringing Australians home from overseas before the COVID lockdowns in 2020.
Noted that conscription is a form of slavery, and if you want an army you need to pay a market rate for people willing to risk their life.
Correct. Or at least have a cause/plan that convinces people to join. Those of us with more than half a brain figured out in 1964 that there wasn’t one as far as Vietnam was concerned and wanted no part of idiot plans to send Australian troops there. We were right.
Not also that 20 year olds were legally not adults at the time. Conscripting children. Charming.
Only one of my friends from school/university got conscripted and none joined the CMF or the military voluntarily. They either weren’t called up or got out on conscientious objection grounds. There was lawyer in Freo who specialised in this. Good for them.
The guy who did get conscripted failed several goes at electrical engineering (hint – don’t make your kid do something he doesn’t want to do. The guy was a keen chemist). He found computers and in some kind of military miracle the Army actually gave him computers to run.

They manage to infer that Melania blaming the media and the democrats for the two (so far) attempted assassinations of her husband is a bit of a stretch!
What’s more, her being paid to do that public engagement is almost distasteful to the Daytime Sky crew, something never inferred if it’s Michelle or Hillary.

Wouldn’t surprise me in the least and been a bit of military traffic in and out of RAAF Garbutt lately and normally I’d think nothing other than a tad more than usual but for the escalation in southern Lebanon. Lets hope it doesn’t reach into the northern areas around Tripoli.
It would be a thankless task for our troops dealing with these low-lives and how many would be Hezbollah/terror organisation combatant fleeing back to the safety of Oz.
As you know, I come from a dog loving family. Any canine lucky enough to find a home in my family is one fortunate canine. They become part of the family. We adore them.
I wish dogs lived for ever, it’s unfair we outlive them. I believe dogs are angels sent by Hashem, to provide us humans with eternal comfort, loyalty and love. I know the more rational here might think I’m ‘barking’ mad (pardon the pun) but it’s something I believe.
The Hebrew word for dog is ‘Caleb’ or ‘Calev’. Caleb means ‘wholehearted and dog-like’. The boy’s name, Caleb’, means ‘loyalty and devotion’, traits which our canine friends possess in abundance. The word and the name ‘celebrates the faithful human companion’s most beloved qualities‘.
The Midrash tells us that when we left Egypt, whilst we packed and prepared to flee, the dogs of Egypt didn’t bark so as to protect the Hebrews fleeing. And last year, the dogs across the kibbutzim, moshavs and towns of Southern Israel alerted Jews by barking ferociously. Many lives were saved because of our canine friends. Many dogs paid a heavy price for their loyalty and love, many were slaughtered by Hamas Nazi scum.
It’s no accident that Jews love dogs whilst Muslims don’t.
I write this because yesterday my sister had to put down her Australian terrier. It was not an easy decision for her, over the last two years this little canine treasure had succumbed to diabetes (some breeds are more prone to this than others). Despite morning and evening insulin injections, she went blind, and over the last few weeks she was knocking into walls and weeing everywhere. She had become reed thin, what kept her alive was love.
I cried last night when I heard the news.
I know her soul has returned to Hashem. There is no dog heaven, there’s just one heaven, a place called ‘Shamayim’ where our souls return to Hashem. I can think of no greater privilege than sharing Shamayim with our canine friends.

The Harris candidacy – a panicked last-minute reaction by the DNC to the American public finding out in the presidential debate that Biden is in fact senile and no longer fit for purpose – is now entirely a creation of the American news media, who protected Biden for four years when they knew he wasn’t up to it.
The only way Trump can win is in a landslide which makes it impossible to hide Harris’s unpopularity.
But the Dems are addicted to power and they’ll do anything to hold onto it so the outcome is indeed unpredictable.
Re the bleat by Numbers about the DVA research ethics committee, I’ve had direct experience with that committee. They are reasonable if you are.

Jane Fonda: Trump Will ‘Burn Up Planet’ (27 Sep)
Leftoids never give up:
If at first you don’t succeed, try, try again.
That’s what Attorney General Merrick Garland’s Department of Justice (DOJ) is doing in their over-zealous prosecution of January 6 defendants. In June, the Supreme Court in United States v. Fischer effectively nuked hundreds of “obstruction” of Congress charges against January 6 defendants, ruling that a post-Enron statute, 18 U.S.C. §1512, designed to punish document destruction, did not apply to a Capitol Hill protest “gone wild.”
Nonetheless, obsessed with targeting Trump supporters, the DOJ is now charging multiple defendants with a Civil War-era statute—18 U.S.C. § 372—which punishes (up to 6 years in prison) those who intimidate “officers of the United States” from their posts. The DOJ charges that J6ers conspired to chase Members of Congress from Capitol Hill in violation of Section 372. Once again, the DOJ is unfairly prosecuting J6ers under a statute that does not apply to their conduct.
Title 18 U.S.C. § 372 punishes conspiracies “to prevent, by force, intimidation, or threat, any person from accepting or holding any office, trust, or place of confidence under the United States, or from discharging any duties thereof, or to induce by like means any officer of the United States to leave the place, where his duties as an officer are required to be performed[.]”
The DOJ’s position is that Members of Congress hold the “offices” and are the “officers of the United States” that are covered by Section 372 and, accordingly, that J6ers can be prosecuted for allegedly causing their evacuation from Capitol Hill. The DOJ is obviously wrong from both a historical and statutory construction standpoint.

That’s easy:
I mean, it’s quite simple, really. If you want war, you’re in no position to complain about losing loved ones.
If you want your family to live, you don’t want war. No sooky sooky when you lose when you wanted the risk in the first place.
Makka, you stated that you don’t care how many innocents have to die in exterminating Islamists. “F*ck em. F*uck em all.”
That begs the questions: are there any innocents in islam. Can you be an muzzie and not support the spread of sharia to replace Western democracy. You may nominally disagree with some of the methods used by the active muzzie terrorist scum but not their goals. That would make you just as guilty as the terrorists.
Wally,
Don’t lecture me on inhumanity. You’re deluded and also clueless about what Islam is perpetrating in and and on the west. I want the beast dead and gone or at a minimum securely it a cage.Because that is the only real protection that works for us. Israel is doing God’s work as far as I’m concerned. And more power to their arm.

Makka is correct. Anyone that thinks different needs to explain face to face with muzzies where they are wrong. You may be right but you’ll be dead. The Christian belief in turning the other cheek doesn’t work, neither does believing anything muzzies say except they are going to kill you as soon as they can. You are part of the problem.
Jacinta Price visited our little town in the Northern Goldfields a couple of days ago.
The worst Australian article is below. Also attached is a pic of some of the people she spoke with. All of these people are local and are feeling the effects of Elbow’s insanity as well as the Native title rorts that are enriching lawyers (spit) and out of town activists who make up the boards of most Aboriginal corporations. L to R Publican,senior elder, JP, another elder, Community health boss.
We haven’t seen any of Elbow’s mob out here as they probably would get laughed, or perhaps run, out of town.
Northern Goldfields community leaders and members have told Liberal Senator Jacinta Nampijinpa Price about their challenges since the cashless debit card was abolished, as well as problems with native title.
Speaking to media on Wednesday after trips to Leonora and Laverton, Senator Price said she would be back to the region again soon after a “raft” of issues were raised with her from locals.
“The leaders from the communities that we visited today said there was absolute destruction when the cashless debit card was removed,” she said.
“They saw the trail of evidence of access to alcohol in that there were empty bottles of rum littering their communities, literally the day that people were able to come off the cashless debit card.
“We know that when the cashless debit card was introduced, those that were being incarcerated, the rates of domestic and family violence appeared to be halved.
“They could see the difference on the ground as to how positive the cashless debit card was, and why (the Albanese) Government has decided to remove that from our most vulnerable community members is beyond me.”
Senator Price was joined on her trip by senator Matt O’Sullivan, member for O’Connor Rick Wilson. member for Mining and Pastoral Region Neil Thomson and Liberal candidate for the seat of Kalgoorlie Rowena Olsen.
Senator Price said the concerns raised with her further supported her calls for an inquiry into land councils, statutory authorities and Aboriginal organisations funded to close the gap in areas such as the Goldfields, as well as an inquiry into native title legislation.
“(The inquiry is to) help us understand where the billions of dollars have been spent and why they have been failing locals here,” she said.
“There are so many issues with native title where there are traditional owners who are being completely overlooked, shut out, from the opportunity of negotiations, from the opportunity to be able to better their communities, whether it’s through royalties, whether it’s through employment opportunities . . . and something desperately needs to be done to look into how native title can better the lives of our most marginalised.
“The cost of living is a huge issue for people throughout the Goldfields, whether it is the Indigenous community or the non-Indigenous community . . . there’s a raft of issues, and quite frankly, it’s appalling that Anthony Albanese and his Government continue to ignore what the needs are on the ground here.
“But I’m very glad to have had the opportunity to get around to these communities and I will absolutely be back again . . . because there’s a lot more conversations to be had.”
I must read this book.
This week on The Dr. Ardis Show, Dr. Bryan Ardis is joined by a very special guest—his daughter, Sierra. Together, they explore the powerful themes from the book Outwitting the Devil by Napoleon Hill. This book, written in the early 1900s, takes the form of an interview between Napoleon Hill and Satan, revealing the ways in which the devil influences our lives, minds, and even our health.
In this episode, Dr. Ardis and Sierra dive deep into how the devil uses food to control our health, decisions, and overall well-being. Sierra, having recently read the book, shares her insights on how its themes are eerily relevant today, particularly in how the devil manipulates our beliefs about food and nutrition to gain control over us. Dr. Ardis highlights how food plays a critical role in our physical, mental, and spiritual health, and how Satan’s tactics to exploit this can affect every aspect of our lives.
As Sierra and Dr. Ardis discuss, Outwitting the Devil touches on broader issues like identity, self-control, and personal health, all of which are being challenged in modern society. Through this candid father-daughter conversation, you’ll gain fresh insights into how food, and the beliefs we hold about it, are used as tools of manipulation and control—and how we can break free from these destructive patterns.

Hello everyone.
Please allow myself to introduce…..myself ?
Long time lurker, former occasional poster on Sinc’s under a different nom de plume, I have finally figured out the new and improved blog.
Full disclosure, I once up ticked JC and took Cassie of Sydney’s advice and became a subscriber to The Australian.
I spent 19 years living in England and have also spent time in Hong Kong, USA, New Zealand. I don’t follow a particular political philosophy, but would be branded far right or a red neck by the msn.
Military service wise I am a former Royal Marine (PO41973D) and also spent time in the Australian Army (329979). These experiences colour my opinions somewhat but I definitely do not live in the past.
My position on Gaza/Lebanon is quite simple. Follow the Sidious doctrine. Wipe them out, all of them. (Hopefully I don’t have to clarify which side on that.)
Russia/Ukraine? Stop the killing. I don’t much care who is right or wrong, but the families on both sides are losing loved ones every day. Let Putin and The Comedian fight it out in a ring.
Dogs? Love em.
Pineapple on Pizza? JUST DON’T!

‘War has rules. Even when confronting terrorists’, Wong tells U.N
theaustralian.com.au09:28
Foreign Affairs Minister Penny Wong has continued to sharpen her language on Israel, saying “war has rules … even when confronting terrorists”.
In an address to the UN Security Council, Senator Wong also called for “greater permanent and non-permanent representation for Africa, Latin America, the Caribbean, and the Asia-Pacific” and spruiked Australia’s bid for a non-permanent seat in 2029-30.
“The world agreed to international humanitarian law to limit suffering in conflict,” she said.
“War has rules. Even when confronting terrorists. Even when defending borders.
“Civilians need to be protected. But in conflicts around the world, this is not happening.
“Nearly a year ago, Hamas killed 1,200 Israelis – the worst loss of Jewish life in a single day since the Holocaust – and Hamas terrorists continue to hold hostages.
“In Israel’s response, over 40,000 Palestinians have been killed.
“More than 11,000 children.
“And more than 300 aid workers since this war began. Gaza is the deadliest place on earth to be an aid worker.”
I’m sure the Israeli Defence Force will be so grateful for the words of wisdom.
Through this candid father-daughter conversation, you’ll gain fresh insights into how food, and the beliefs we hold about it, are used as tools of manipulation and control—and how we can break free from these destructive pattern
I am still out to lunch (pardon the pun!) on the implication of government and other sinister forces (aka Big Pharma) on the planning of our actual destruction.
BUT – and it is a big “but” – the Covid years convinced us to completely change our diet. Unvaccinated or not, it seemed like a good opportunity to “get healthy”. So – I revamped our diet – cut out biscuits and the folksy (but unwise) farm cakes, restricted the carbs, and ensured we had fish (kept in freezer) at least twice a week. Every morning we have a blender concoction of water/blueberries/green apples/carrots & celery. Then out come the vitamens so derided by the medical profession – VitC, VitD3, Magnesium, Coq10, Zinc, and a bifidobacterium longus probiotic (Meta Align). And for good measure, we add a low dose aspirin (Cartia).
Our cholesterol has dropped dramatically – not that I take the cholesterol stuff that seriously – but it is instructive to note the influence of diet.
As for the other half of the equation – exercise – well folks, husband and I get PLENTY of that on the farm. Even so, I have persuaded a reluctant husband to accompany me on at least half of my roughly 3km walk around the farm on most mornings. I still believe that the humble rambling walk is one of the best cardio assistance measures you can adopt.
I don’t reject all that the medical brotherhood propagate. Indeed, I regularly scan the latest research on topics of interest – with the full knowledge that much is funded by Big Pharma and some of it is manufactured.Nonetheless, I am impressed with the latest belief in the interaction of the gut/brain/nervous system axis, for example, particularly for post viral symptoms. Hence the probiotic. And the one I use is specifically chosen.

Words fail me, they honestly do!
Militant Islam was largely consigned to the periphery of politics of Muslim nations prior to and including WW2. It was boosted among others things in the post-WW2 era by Westerners seeking to counter secular nationalists in the MENA. Who armed and funded jihadis in Afghanistan, Bosnia, the Caucasus, Syria, Libya, etc.? Their postal address is Langely, Virginia.

Who, except plenty wrong, knew that? .. The only “rule” involving terrorists is kill ’em, kill ’em all ……….!

Let’s take Afghanistan where the Reagan administration armed mujihadeen forces countering the Soviet puppet regime. Pity, at the time, the Americans didn’t have a time machine to figure what would occur 20 years plus later. And in any event, not all mujihadeen were fierce islamists.
The Soviets first destabilized Afghanistan by running a coup and installing a communist puppet regime. Perhaps the address is the Kremlin.

An enemy that deliberately and with intent disobeys those very rules in order to cause maximum impact upon the other side deserves no mercy.

First Lady Melania Trump on the election: “How I see it is, the records speak for themselves. The country is suffering. People are not able to buy usual necessities for their families. We have wars going on around the world. Soldiers are dying… The border is open and dangerous — a lot of fentanyl is coming over, killing our youth… If we compare the four years under this administration, compared to the four years under my husband as Commander-In-Chief, he was leading this country through peace through strength.”

Mona’s ‘Ladies Lounge’ wins court battle to exclude men from art-filled spaceBy Gabriella CoslovichSeptember 27, 2024 — 10.10am
Listen to this article

The controversial Ladies Lounge at Tasmania’s Museum of Old and New Art will be permitted to reopen and continue to refuse entry to men following a decision by the state’s Supreme Court that found it was not in breach of anti-discrimination law.
On Friday morning, Acting Justice Shane Marshall overturned an April decision by the Tasmanian Civil and Administrative Tribunal, which had found the Ladies Lounge in breach of Tasmania’s Anti-Discrimination Act 1998.
I’ve Had ENOUGH Of This
Boambee John @ 11.02am
I’ve had direct experience with that committee. They are reasonable if you are.
They are very firm on preventing any disruption to the lives of veterans.
Is it reasonable to demand that prior to interview the researcher must ask the participant if he has a diagnosis of PTSD, and if the answer is in the affirmative, then the veteran’s counsellor must sit in on the interview?
That was where we parted company.
In my view (and that of my supervisor) it wasn’t, and I wasn’t prepared to budge on that. Asking a veteran if he has a diagnosis is a breach of privacy, and unacceptable.
The university designed a process which preserved both he dignity and the privacy of the participants.
DVA apparently has not heard of post-traumatic growth.
This phenomena was a feature of the lives of most interviewed.
Hence the title – A Sweet Use of Adversity. (William Shakespeare, As you Like It).
Full extract –
Sweet are the uses of adversity,Which, like the toad, ugly and venomous,Wears yet a precious jewel in his head;And this our life, exempt from public haunt,Find tongues in trees, books in the running brooks,Sermons in stones, and good in everything.
I am particularly fond of the last line, especially as it applies to this site.

Why? First off, the real fight at the time was the Soviet Union. Secondly, there wasn’t a threat from militant Islam then and wasn’t even talked about. Lastly, the Americans were arming the same groups they armed at the start of the Afghan war.

Try picturing a kidnapped Wong thumbing through the Rule Book while she awaits rescue.
No, I can’t either.
Firstly, that just proves my point that militant Islam is a recent manifestation distinguishable from political Islam as it existed prior to the post-WW2 period.
Secondly, the US deferring the possibility of an ascendent militant Islam emerging doesn’t absolve them of a role in its emergence whether or not they factored the Soviets as the more immediate threat.
Thirdly, yes, jihadis.

I think we will never learn the real reason for the mishap, but it reminds me of the sinking of a German sub due to toilet malfunction. (know it all officer not following complex procedures)
The Germans were a slight better engineers than the Chinese, BTW.
In short, someone screwed up.
Makkah
*We* don’t preach for the massacre of the innocents.
That’s what makes us better than them.
I’m not arguing that. Islam has had its ups and downs over the centuries. But let’s be real—before oil turned Saudi Arabia into a cash cow, nobody cared about the Middle East. It was like the universe’s least interesting side quest, barely worth colonizing!
Alright, let’s not go off on a tangent here. The U.S. backed people like Massoud’s dad—a pro-American warlord. His son, Massoud, was taken out by a suicide bomber right at the start of the Afghan war. It was these groups that the Reagan Administration supported.
But who really kicked off the chaos in Afghanistan? The Soviets, of course, by staging a coup and trying to set up a puppet regime. They left with their tails between their legs.
And for the ‘Jihadists doing Jihadist things’ file: The U.S. Navy was basically born because of jihadi pirates along the North African coast. Americans got tired of their ships being hijacked, so they pooled some cash to build a navy just to go wipe those guys out. Turns out, it worked! It was even called a jihad against infidels—guess the tables turned on that one too.
And the Sovs were always screwing around in the MidEast and causing chaos. So Dover, don’t go blaming just the Americans for an unstable MidEast. The disgusting Sovs were in it up to their necks.
“It was even called a jihad against infidels…”
Well, there’s your problem!
Should have called it a Crusade against heathens.
Re Numbers at 1456.
Did you challenge that decision to the senior staff processes of DVA, then go to the AAT, and the Federal Court, as others are required to do if they don’t accept administrative decisions? Or are you so arrogant as to reject the constraints of administrative law?
Still, the good news is that the university (Which one?) will be beside you should you be challenged. You might even be able to leech off their lawyers.
Normal citizens are required to go through this process, why should you be exempt?
PS, I suspect that DVA could have found a work around, had you asked.
Amazing that people believe the Chinese nuclear sub sinking in Wuhan story based on nothing more than anon sources and ambiguous satellite photos. It’s hundreds of kms from the coast, in a river that presents serious problems for a nuclear attack sub, away from the necessary naval facilities, etc.
Should we apply the same standard to your stories?
There’s a ship building operation there, so why wouldn’t they build the sub in that dock? You’re just making it up as you go along now.
As long as these barbarians use human shields and commit atrocities like Oct 7, there will be civilians killed. EVERYONE knows this especially the barbarians and the
“civilians” who support them. You advocate for lofty ideals because you are ignorant ,projecting your values onto moslems. A very big mistake. They see you as a fool Wally, weak. easily exploited. Too stupid and naive to understand the conflict underway. There will be no consolation in being better when you’re living under sharia. Or when leftards cave to moslem votes and outlaw freedom of speech.
And these groups were jihadis.
Both the Soviets and US were doing this. The Cold War is just them both manipulating various nations in their sphere of influence.
Pirates are just pirates.
I think time has almost run out to forward a submission in respect to the appalling amended legislation proposed to limit and adjudicate free speech on social media, such as this website.
A couple of Cats asked for suggestions regarding submissions. For what it is worth (probably not much), here is my previous submission which I have resubmitted because it still covers my objections:
SUBMISSION to AUSTRALIAN COMMUNICATIONS & MEDIA AUTHORITY
It took centuries for the citizens of ancient Athens to struggle to obtain the freedom and right to debate policies and decisions in the public square. Those debates were held to the torch of credibility and evidence which all could wield. In the millenia which followed somehow that spirit of inquiry and reason prevailed, despite attacks from autocrats and those who wielded inherited or acquired wealth.
The spread of universal literacy and the printing press increased the power of the written word and deepened the strength of the freedom that education brought to the wider community. The extent of access to information today, via the internet, is unparalleled in human history. But so, too, is the capacity of the citizen to critique that information. In much of the world – but particularly in western societies – extended education and literacy is available to all.
It is therefore inexplicable that a modern, progressive government could propose legislation that presupposes that its citizens are incapable of distinguishing false from plausible information. It is axiomatic that the platform of our entire system of education is the ability to distinguish fact from fiction.
But the further intervention of a government agency in the determination of correct data violates the very principle of the millennia of struggle for individual freedom of thought and decision making. To go down that road is to risk shattering the belief that the individual, and his or her understanding matters.
No government should ever contemplate that road. It is a road that may take us all into a place we would never choose to go.
If only the bitich’s family had simply continued exploiting the people of Sabah rather than ‘settling’ here.
Oh how I pine for the days of the Slapper!
Jeez louise, Massoud’s dad and then the son were anti-Soviet and subsequently the son was anti-Taliban. So much for your jihadi nonsense. Hated the Soviets and hated the Taliban.
“Just pirates” were supported by the leadership in the countries supporting the jihad at sea. They would take the ships and then sell the crew into slavery.
They weren’t just “pirates” but actively sponsored by their kings. The Moroccan pos was informed that if he didn’t stop it, he would be hanged in the square.
I usually add some qualification, like, ‘may have’.
Projection there, you don’t build nuclear subs in just any naval facility. And all the major naval bases are on the coast.
Also, look, at photo, a sub, let alone a nuclear sub is not unequivocally visible.
The US was just like the Soviets. Both just “manipulating various nations”.
And:
Will be out for the rest of the evening. Will get around to replying tomorrow morning in the new OT.
Oh, what limitations are there in a deep water river and where naval ship building occurs?
It sunk, which means it’s under fcking water!
“Andrei… you’ve lost another submarine?”
Ok, maybe that wouldn’t work quite as well if the ambassador was Won Hung Lo.
Sinking a nuclear sub at the dock is embarrassing (if it happened) but no more so than losing a docked helo/assault ship due to fire while undergoing maintenance.
Keep dissing Chinese engineering. IIRC they have 3 rovers on the Moon right now, still operating and have successfully landed stuff on Mars.
Mekka, you’re laying it on a bit thick.
I am careful to pull up short of wishing that collatoral damage be visited upon innocents.
Your routine is what gets the mullahs erect.

Miranda Devine: CIA’s ‘green light’ of Biden family’s dealings with China is deeply disturbing
Might interest a few musical Cats:
No sex, no drugs and definitely no Sid Vicious
NIGEL FARNDALE
‘I believe they are a popular beat combo, m’lud.” That, supposedly, was the answer given by a barrister towards the end of the Swinging ’60s when a British judge asked in court: “Who are the Beatles?”
The exchange seems improbable now, but that doesn’t mean it didn’t happen then. And if it did, I can guess the reason. Around that time there was a famous advertising campaign with the slogan “Top people take The Times. Do you?”. Those top people will have included members of the judiciary.
And who might those top people have expected to read about when they opened their paper of choice? In the obituaries section it would have been the great and the good: archbishops, captains of industry and ambassadors, several thousand words on each. And war heroes, of course.
Figures from high culture would be covered too, but when it came to music this would mean opera sopranos, classical composers and conductors. The low culture of rock and pop? Not so much. When Buddy Holly died in a plane crash in 1959, he didn’t merit an obit in The Times. Buddy. Holly.
By the late 1960s pop stars were starting to get Times obituaries, but almost begrudgingly, in a perfunctory and formal way. Mr Brian Jones, as he was styled, got a modest and dry 500 words in 1969, even though the news that the Rolling Stones founder and guitarist had been found dead in a swimming pool was making front pages round the world.
By contrast, when Charlie Watts, the Stones’ drummer, died in much less dramatic fashion in 2021, I, as the obits editor of The Times, allotted him 3000 words. I also thought we could probably, on balance, get away with dropping the “Mr”.
What was behind this cultural change of heart? Well, The Times has always taken seriously its role as “the newspaper of public record”, and back then it took the role very seriously indeed – so seriously it didn’t introduce bylines for writers until the mid-1960s, and certainly didn’t include anything as frivolous as a colour supplement full of lifestyle features, diet tips and celebrity interviews.
It was the broadsheet of the establishment, and the establishment wore suits and listened to classical music. They didn’t wear kaftans and listen to pop. You can get a sense of these “two cultures” when you watch footage of the Beatles’ rooftop concert in 1969. That beat combo are up there with their long hair, flares and Afghan coats while down in the streets below, looking up in bemusement, are the top people, the City types with their bowler hats and furled umbrellas.
Not everyone, it seems, got the memo about the youth-driven cultural revolution that was the Swinging ’60s. Another illustration: Sgt Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band may have been the biggest-selling album of 1967, but it wasn’t the biggest of the decade. That would be – yes, you haven’t guessed it – The Sound of Music.
The tone of the obits was quite stuffy and obfusc back then, too, and this continued into the next decade. Consider the way the 1977 obit for Mr Elvis Presley earnestly notes the “negro” roots of his style of rock’n’roll, or the way the obit for Mr Keith Moon in 1978 requires quote marks around “The Who”, then as now one of the most famous bands in the world.
Also then as now, Times obituaries were unsigned, but if you had to guess who wrote Mr John Lennon’s from 1980, you might say it was the paper’s classical music critic, such is its lofty, slightly patronising tone. It makes no mention of bed-ins, LSD or Imagine, but it does include the sizzling line, “the Cavern Club in Liverpool, one of the foci of the new Merseyside sound”.
Private lives tend not to be mentioned either, just careers. The obit for Dennis Wilson of the Beach Boys, who died in 1983, is fascinating for what it doesn’t say. He was one of the most colourful figures in pop history, yet there is no mention of the mysteries surrounding his death, nor his heroin addiction and epic sexual promiscuity. The $US100,000 he donated to the Charles Manson “family”? Not a whisper. His obit doesn’t even acknowledge that he was the only member of the Beach Boys who surfed.
These drier, shorter early obits, then, are portals to a bygone age, a reminder that the past is another country. I’ve included a handful of them in a new collection to demonstrate what I mean: Mr Jim Morrison and Miss Janis Joplin feature, for example, as well as another member of the infamous “27 Club”, Mr Jimi Hendrix. No mention is made of his assiduous drug taking or his performance at Woodstock, but rather sweetly the obit does note that his music was “awesomely loud”.
By the time Kurt Cobain and Amy Winehouse joined that club of pop stars who died at the tender age of 27, not only had the titles been dropped, but the obits were getting a bit longer and more in depth, covering the sex and drugs as well as the rock’n’roll.
Yet even theirs aren’t the most dramatic stories of rock-star excess you will find in this new collection. Take Glen Campbell’s. He may have been a God-fearing country-and-western star, but his lifestyle was pure destructive, pagan rock god. His addictions to cocaine, bourbon and wild women, indeed, rivalled the feral appetites of the most hedonistic rock’n’roller.
In a strong field, though, it is Ginger Baker, the drummer of Cream, who was the maddest, baddest and most dangerous rock star to know. He had feuds with everyone and would use violence as a first resort, thinking nothing of breaking a nose or pulling a knife on a bandmate. Eric Clapton professed to be properly scared of him.
Against all the odds, and despite his epic, lifelong consumption of class A drugs, Baker lived to the ripe old age of 80. Even he seemed surprised by this.
Nowadays, obituaries of rock and pop stars are more like long-form features: writerly, full of lively anecdotes, wry. And we hear the subject’s voice through quotation. I was tempted to expand some of the older pop obits not styled in this way, such as that for Freddie Mercury, but I’ve kept them as written at the time on the grounds that they intrigue more as undisturbed time capsules, as first drafts of history.
Inevitably, perhaps, we on the obits desk have come to think of those rock stars who did manage to survive the excesses of the ’60s. and ’70s. as “the new few”. This, after all, is a profession where, as “The Who” memorably put it, people hoped to die before they got old. Alongside the drug overdoses, causes of death listed in the collection include suicides, murders and car crashes.
But all too often it is something more commonplace. David Bowie choreographed his departure beautifully, releasing his final single and video, Lazarus, as a moving self-epitaph on his 69th birthday in 2016. It was extraordinarily artful, and in complete contrast to the cause of his death two days later, which could scarcely have been more ordinary: cancer.
Traditionally, obituaries for stars of his stature would always be run in print the next day, but now there is an additional need for speed: digital. The Times obit for Charlie Watts appeared online within minutes of his death being announced one afternoon.
We know such obits are popular with our readers because, owing to the latest technology, we can see how long they are spending with each story. Obituaries that appear online quickly have a long “dwell” time because sometimes the thing you most want to read when someone famous dies is a short biography with a satisfying beginning, middle and end.
Print still matters. News of Olivia Newton-John’s demise in 2022 was less kind in terms of timing because it broke at 8pm and our print deadline meant her two pages would have to be designed and “revise subbed’‘ by 9pm – but we managed thanks to one of the worst-kept secrets in journalism, namely that we on the obits desk spend a lot of our working day prepping the “household names” in advance. They are called stocks, as in stockpile, and we usually have about 3500 of them in a fairly up-to-date state.
Who we prepare in advance often has more to do with fame than age or ill-health. Big names such as Elton John, Rod Stewart and Keith Richards are all teed up, for example. And Mick Jagger, of course. Incidentally, he once asked to see his. (Hello? Control freak.) We declined to show him and he accepted our reasoning with good grace. Paul McCartney’s was first prepared for The Times in 1967 by none other than Hunter Davies when he was spending a year with the Beatles writing their authorised biography. His obit for McCartney then was the standard 500 words. The latest iteration, written by our chief music obits writer, Nigel Williamson, is 3000 words long.
Williamson, an author, music critic and interviewer of pop stars, has been doing this job for quite a few years now and recalls that Ian Brunskill, one of my predecessors as obits editor, was “the ultimate ambulance chaser. A celeb only had to sneeze and Ian commissioned a stock. His best line was ‘I saw Lou Reed on The Old Grey Whistle Test at the weekend. He looked a bit peaky. You’d better do him’. To which I replied: ‘Lou Reed has been looking peaky since 1966 when he was only 24. It’s called heroin’?”.
Inevitably, there wasn’t room for all the fallen rock and pop stars from the past six decades, but I’ve tried to include a good mix of male and female, British and American, black and white. I’ve also gone for a cross-section of genres, from rock’n’roll, psychedelic, prog, glam and heavy metal, to disco, punk, C&W, new romantic, ska and grunge.
One omission you may notice is Sid Vicious, the Sex Pistols bassist and singer, who died of a heroin overdose at 21 in 1977 after allegedly murdering his girlfriend, Nancy Spungen.
That’s because this legend of popular culture was not deemed suitable for an obit back then. But times change, and The Times changes with them. Nowadays he would be a double-page spread.

SHOCKING: They Just EXPOSED Him Like Never Before! Health Official Confronted Over Covid Policy
What The Mainstream Media Is Paid Not to Tell You
Great comment directed at the anti-semites currently criticising Israel;
One of the virtues of Israel’s exquisitely targeted attack against Hezbollah terrorists is that it’s finally revealed the truth for all to see:
The people who have spent the last months crying about Israel killing civilians cared nothing about the civilians.
What made them angry was that Israel was defeating Hamas, an Iranian proxy, so an enemy of both Israel and America.
We know this because the same people, rather than congratulating Israel for a targeted attack the likes of which no one has ever seen, are now angry at Israel for killing enemy soldiers, even as they’re completely silent about Hezbollah’s most recent massive rocket barrage against Israeli civilians.
Aside from being a stunning military victory, what was also useful about Israel’s attack was that it stripped away the mask of those across the West, in the UN, in national governments, and in the Labour politicians party, who’ve been insisting that Israel must surrender to Gaza immediately because the war has caused civilian deaths in Gaza.
The fact that the ratio of civilian to military deaths was extraordinarily low for urban warfare was irrelevant to them, as was the fact that Israel dropped leaflets warning people to leave areas (losing the element of surprise) and physically evacuated and fed enemy civilians.
For the Muslims and Leftists—all of whom hate the Jews—it was never enough.
But for the Israel haters, it wasn’t enough. It quickly became clear after Operation Gelding that the problem wasn’t dead civilians; it was a victorious Israel:

I was reading an article in The Jewish Insider about H.R. McMaster’s comments on Israel when the page demanded my email address and wouldn’t let me read further.
What piqued my interest was McMaster’s statement about the need for Israel to impose costs on its enemies before expecting success in any negotiations. That’s a firm point: Compromise is rarely considered unless one wishes to limit increasing losses.
Did whoever was questioning him push him to reveal his assumptions?
Does Israel have a right to exist?
Does it not then have a right to defend itself?
Who started the current conflagration?
Is Israel going about this war with the intention of protecting civilian lives as much as is possible, unlike its antagonists, who target civilians?

The Coming Global Depopulation | Nicholas Eberstadt | John Bonython Lecture
### Summary: In the lecture titled “The Coming Global Depopulation,” Nicholas Eberstadt discusses the imminent global trend of depopulation due to sharply declining birth rates, which could transform societal, economic, and geopolitical landscapes. He elaborates on how many regions around the world have already entered this phase, particularly in East Asia, Europe, and parts of Latin America and Africa. Eberstadt asserts that the paradigm shift from population growth to decline will have significant implications on workforce availability, aging populations, and international relations, challenging existing societal norms and governance structures. He concludes by emphasizing the need for adaptation strategies to manage these demographic changes while maintaining economic prosperity. ### Key Points by Section: #### **1. Introduction to Population Trends:** – Global fertility rates are decreasing, indicating that sub-replacement fertility levels are becoming more common. – Historical context is given through references to past population alarmism, which did not come to fruition. – The current focus is shifting towards imminent depopulation rather than population explosion. #### **2. Eberstadt’s Background:** – Nicholas Eberstadt is introduced as an expert demographer, affiliated with the American Enterprise Institute, with a history of contributions to prominent journals. – His lecture discusses the new era of depopulation that is silently emerging. #### **3. The Reality of Depopulation:** – Depopulation will be characterized by declining birth rates leading to aging societies. – There is no recent collective memory of global population decline, making it difficult to predict societal responses. – The last notable global depopulation occurred nearly 700 years ago, following the Black Death. #### **4. Statistical Evidence of Declining Birth Rates:** – Eberstadt presents data highlighting that in many regions, notably East and Southeast Asia, fertility rates fall well below replacement levels. – Countries like Japan, China, South Korea, and parts of Latin America are already experiencing significant declines. #### **5. Global Phenomenon of Sub-replacement Fertility:** – Sub-replacement fertility is spreading even to traditionally high-fertility regions like the Middle East. – Long-term projections suggest an increasing number of countries will face net mortality. #### **6. Causes of Falling Fertility Rates:** – Economic development is not the sole factor driving fertility decline; cultural changes and shifts in personal priorities play significant roles. – The desire for family structures and marriage is changing, with a trend towards individualism and convenience. #### **7. Consequences of Prolonged Depopulation:** – By 2050, a significant portion of the global population will live in areas with net mortality. – Aging populations will outnumber younger generations, leading to shifts in societal structures such as workforce demographics and pension systems. #### **8. Policy and Sociological Implications:** – Governments must adapt policies to manage economic and social challenges arising from shrinking and aging populations. – Necessity for investment in human capital and skills to drive economic growth despite declining demographics. #### **9. Geopolitical Considerations:** – The balance of global power will shift as regions experience different population growth rates. – Predicted geopolitical ramifications include shifts in military and economic power, particularly for nations facing demographic decline. #### **10. Optimism Amidst Challenges:** – Eberstadt expresses optimism that advancements in technology and human ingenuity can mitigate some challenges of depopulation. – Emphasizes the importance of maintaining a focus on economic growth and adapting to new demographic realities. #### **11. Audience Engagement:** – A Q&A section follows where critiques of the depopulation thesis are discussed, including views on immigration, economic impacts of different demographic trends, and the challenges in adjusting public expectations and policies accordingly. This summary and breakdown of key points provide a comprehensive view of the topics addressed by Nicholas Eberstadt in his lecture on global depopulation, showcasing his insights into current and future demographic trends and their far-reaching implications.
Watching some stupid programs on the Teev for once.

Watched about half a dozen.
No white people in any of them.
Apparently the advertising industry went from sickeningly assuming we were all racist pricks who didn’t like seeing any coloured folk at all and playing up to that, to assuming we are all racist pricks and it’s their sole mission to fix that via casting.
Basically they have always been arseholes, continue to be arseholes, and show no sign of ever moderating their arseholishness.

I remember hearing the eulogies to Roebuck on ABC radio the day he entered the 60 ft guilty plea out of the hotel window in South Africa.
I knew nothing about his proclivities, but the very strange tortured language being used to describe him told me there was more to this.
They knew.
Response to Bush (re the feral Wong) at 8:15 p.m. above:
Nope.
H@m@s didn’t ‘kill’ Israelis – they murdered them. They murdered, and in some cases raped, 800-odd unarmed civilians. Without provocation. They also filmed some of those murders, and distributed the films publicly, thus providing evidence of their actions. They continue to murder unarmed civilian hostages. This was an intricately planned mass murder.
The appropriate word is not ‘killed’ (as in ‘killed in a freak accident’), but murdered.
The insincerity of those using the almost-neutral ‘killed’ is intentional, sickening, and evidence of their moral cowardice and urge to validate primeval violence.
May the orc legions grind their bones to dust as soon as they turn their backs.
The calls for a cease-fire might have a tiny scintilla of credibility if they had come weeks ago when Hez-ball-less were lobbing rockets into kids sporting grounds.
I would go so far as to speculate that some of these enablers derive a voyeuristic rush from validating the mass murderers; male enablers experience envy, and female enablers experience sexual desire.
A bit extreme as far as speculation goes? Maybe. However human behaviour is motivated by both reward and fear. Think about that.
Apology.
My 8:34 p.m. post could have been worded more carefully. It was not intended to imply that 132andBush was such an enabler. My apologies to Bush if that is the perception. (Yes, I did misread ‘relevant’ as ‘accurate’).

I’ve ice skated once. Took me 10 minutes to figure it out. I thought I was cool until this young fandango whizzed passed me at about 60 kph. He put me in my place.
My thoughts at the time was let’s go roller skating smart arse. I was insanely quick,. My last session was at Cannington 1984. A hop skip and and a jump from Carousel shopping centre.
This song just jumped into my head. I remember lacing up my skates before taking to the rink.

I thought we had a plebiscite not too long ago junking this very brain-fart?
Work has begun on a New South Wales Indigenous treaty with the appointment of three commissioners.
The new commissioners will travel around the state on a yearlong listening tour.
Community consultations will begin in 2025 to see whether the Indigenous community wants a treaty and what it could look like.
Gee, I wonder.
I wonder what a listening tour of the tweenagers in my house would come up with if I asked them whether they wanted a credit card and what their spending limit could look like.
Things we learn. Barry Gibb wrote Chain Reaction.
Cool as.

Alex Stein’s CONTROVERSIAL Stand-Up Set for Tucker Carlson Tour
Foreign Minister Penny Wong has declared a timeline should be set for the international declaration of a Palestinian state and is pushing the UN Security Council to play a more significant role in advancing a two-state solution to break the “endless cycle of violence” gripping the Middle East.
Does Penny Wong ever wonder why nobody ever takes her seriously?
There’s been a Palestinian State since 1947 – it’s called “Jordan.”
The Palestinians have rejected five attempts at a “Two State” solution since the late 1930’s, while continuing to demand the total destruction of the State of Israel – what makes anyone think they are interested in such a solution today?
The calls for a cease-fire might have a tiny scintilla of credibility if they had come weeks ago when Hez-ball-less were lobbing rockets into kids sporting grounds.
Quite so. I don’t know if anyone saw Sharri this week. She interviewed the grief stricken mother of a little girl killed by one of those rockets that was fired by Hezbollah into the Druze town in the Golan.
Further to the Druze, a people I’ve long been fascinated by, they practice a syncretic religion based on Judaism, Christianity and Islam. The Druze regard Jethro (Moses’ father-in-law) as a prophet.

Reading through the UK media, it’s clear that the honeymoon is over for Gear Starmer.
Particularly amazingly, the Grauniad has taken a series of dumps on Starmer and his close colleagues. Sleaze, tax on beer and cigs, ‘we had no idea things were so bad’ policy on the hoof bollocks, stripping energy rebates from freezing pensioners.

Notoriously, Trump has an elephant memory for previous slights and insults. It’s just possible he remembers Starmer in 2019, when Trump praised Boris Johnson:

Everyone should do it. The Free Speech Union make it dead easy to send a protest about the Shut You Up Bill coming before the Senate next week.
Go to FSU, where they helpfully compose a letter which is tailored according to your expressed beliefs as you’ve prioritised them with clicks to the FSU’s list of reasons. They will then send that for you if you wish. They advise though for you to send it yourself to garner more attention. To do this, click for them to send you the letter via email. When the email arrives you there’s one just click for your letter to be set up for you on your own email (presto!) with the right address already inserted, and then you click on submit for it to fire a blast at the obscenity of this bill.
One email from every Cat and Kitteh – NOW.
I think Senator Faruqi and her Green mates going to be traumatised by the latest Leak cartoon.
To Col.Bogey:
Hamas, had only one brass ball
Houthi, had two but very small
Nasrellah, was just plain yella,
And poor old Hezballs had no balls at all.

If we got the band back together so to speak, and joined a protest singing this I guess we would be arrested.
