Vikki Campion: Why a gigantic hydrogen tank should never be built near one of our cities
Vikki Campion
12 Oct 2024
A venomous snake should never be approached, and a gigantic hydrogen tank that will be 10 times the size of the biggest on the planet should never be built on the doorstep of one of our cities, writes Vikki Campion.
The eastern brown snake is fast-moving, ill-natured if cornered – and one of the most venomous snakes in the world. So why did mothers in Canberra push their young children towards one this week to take pictures on their iPhone but scoffed when I urged them to keep their distance, telling me: “The government wouldn’t allow it here (in a government-owned botanic garden) if it weren’t safe.”
The issue we have with a population that willingly submits itself to an authoritarian government, which rammed digital ID through the Senate without debate, and which wants bureaucrats to decide what’s true or false, is the wildly misguided idea that it is a wisened guardian angel protecting us from harm.
It is the snake who gets the Government Angel – not you or your kid. Be it the most venomous creatures on Earth, what voices you can hear on social media, or our power grid, Government Angel does not prioritise what’s “safe”.
As Australia’s biggest energy companies walk away from green hydrogen because they cannot make it viable – taking millions of taxpayer dollars in grants with them –the government is knuckling down on a hydrogen plant 24 times bigger than the world’s biggest.
While Energy Minister Chris Bowen and friends deride nuclear power as “risky reactors”, they have budgeted more than $8bn on hydrogen, which is literally rocket fuel. Australia’s version will produce 1200 tonnes of gaseous hydrogen – 800 tonnes of which will be liquified – with an ammonia plant taking the rest.
This means you need to start a process called Haber Bosch to heat it to 450C, chuck it under atmospheric pressure and pump it with nitrogen and hydrogen, which produces ammonia. That then becomes exothermic, requiring a constant feed of hydrogen, which weather-reliant wind and solar cannot produce 24/7.
Because of this, it would need a massive storage tank to hold at least enough for 10 days, which would be about 8000 tonnes of liquified hydrogen – some 10 times that of the world’s biggest storage tank.
Hydrogen is so explosive that it is used to send rockets into space, so where are they putting this massive, super-explosive supply? Right in the lap of a regional city.
But like the ectothermic eastern brown slithering near the children, our political mothers and fathers accept this plan as safe because it comes from their guardian angel – the government. It is government-sanctioned and government-funded by a government-owned corporation.
Flynn MP Colin Boyce, whose Queensland electorate has been bestowed this nightmare, can’t understand why there is no discussion of the safety risk of an enormous rocket-fuel tank containing some 8000 tonnes of liquified hydrogen, pipes and plants nestled in the nape of Gladstone.
“If it goes ‘bang’, it will blow Gladstone off the map,” the National Party member says.
More than 400 hydrogen incidents have occurred in 40 years – Fukushima and Callide were hydrogen explosions. But jet fuel’s safety is irrelevant when it is “green hydrogen” and posed as a transition fuel in our net-zero nirvana, even when it’s not net zero at all.

Would be interesting on hearing the reasons behind the court suppression decision. Or were they suppressed?
Leak spot on again I was at a meeting with Peter Jennings and Michael Shoebridge of Strategic Analysis Australia who are writing proposals for Australia’s defence for next government after election . They expect war with China in 2027 . Already China aggressively approaching other navies Phillipines most recently ,once in control of seas around China and sea route, Taiwan will be overcome by blockading the country. Taiwan makes computer chips and has superior techniques and supplies 75% of chips for USA , this info from a man who had worked there for decades.No chips no USAr
According to SAA men factories are being built in the States to make chips there but will take years to finish.
We are not making weaponry for Oz Those making missiles and rockets here have contracts with other countries but not with our government My question was how could the weapons be made with solar panels wind turbines and batteries and surely after the IDF demonstrating how knocking off leaders can be done this MO might work elsewhere.
Submarines were rubbished by all the well known facts major one being lack of skilled workforce for their crews also need two subs as time spent in port for repairs .We’ll get two by 2054 .What a waste of money not that the budget for next ten years would buy much.With that good news I’m off the Chinese lessons haha!
See my reply to the previous comment.
I doubt that if we were to raise a an infantry division, there would be enough boots for them.
“You’re called up son, bring your Reeboks.”
If Michael Shoebridge is who I think, I had a bit to do with him many years ago. Smart bloke.

ROCKS IN THEIR HEAD: MPS TO GET SCHOOLED ON A ‘VILLAIN’ RESOURCE
If Australia’s story is told in its rocks, coal from plants that grew in Gondwana 170 million years ago, cities built in limestone from crushed shells, minerals that have powered the world, this week Labor has opened a new chapter on uranium.
Our most energy-dense rock is dug up here, trucked through towns and exported overseas, yet still painted as the scary villain when it is a resource that could herald a new era of Australian energy independence.
A new parliamentary inquiry to be?chaired by Hunter MP Dan Repacholi could finally give this rock – which could save his communities such as Singletone from being smothered in black photovoltaic glass – the makeover it deserves from real-life electricians and engineers, instead of office bureaucrats paid to propagate the policy platforms of politicians.
That some in Labor believe this will?damage the Coalition’s nuclear policy on the eve of the election shows how closed they have been to the free education offered to them by Australia’s wide nuclear science and engineering expert community, including the former head of ANSTO.
Submissions to Senate energy inquiries contain clear analysis that it’s impossible to decarbonise without nuclear. Submissions to the offshore wind inquiry have given ignored experts a?voice about the dangers of wind.
The inquiry report, set to come out a month before the probable May election, on a Labor-stacked committee, will undoubtedly find that the proven technology that powers most G20 economies is unachievable in Australia. However stacked the committee is, the exercise will grant national exposure to independent expert submissions, to whom Energy Minister Chris Bowen rarely grants an audience.
Mr Repacholi, fast shaping up to fill?the well-worn shoes of his long-serving predecessor Joel Fitzgibbon, has taken a step in the right direction in seeking clarity for basic stuff like deployment timeframes, fuel supply and transport logistics, uranium enrichment capacity; waste management, transportation and storage; water usage and impacts on other water-dependent sectors; existing energy infrastructure capability, including transmission; legal and policy frameworks; risk management and safety, land acquisitions and cost.
It is just a pity this comprehensive examination has never been done for?intermittent power plants, transmission lines, or the economic – and potentially literal – bomb of green hydrogen.
Nuclear is not the ugly duckling Labor thinks it is, but we’ve yet to get to the end of the story.
““The government wouldn’t allow it here (in a government-owned botanic garden) if it weren’t safe.”
Dumb as a box of rocks.

Just received an email that says China and Russia have HEMP sorry can’t remember scientific names it stands for . A weapon with nuclear device that knocks out American power grid up in space , That would cause utter chaos on land no electricity , no computers, no water , blackouts . Would Diesel engines be any help?
High Altitude Electromagnetic Pulse.
Only ones that don’t have electronic control, so that means older ones or agricultural type engines that don’t have electronic controls.
I understand it also means High Explosive (formed) Electromagnetic Pulse. And no, I have NFI how it’s done.
As for diesel engines, an old one without the modern electronics will still work – probably. The new ones won’t work at all without the computers.
There just may be some hope for something like a Jeep with a distributor replacement and a petrol engine. But the lights won’t work. Nor the cigar lighter. 🙂
The issue with EMP is the Gamma radiation that knocks electrons off wiring and creates a surge in everything attached. But some old radio receivers with valves are resistant to the surge, so look in your great grandfathers old garage for a valve radio which just might still work.
I have one that still works in my spare room. Lovely old thing but the sound can be..um..fuzzy.
Just change out the speaker, Megan. Easy to do and is the source of most ‘fuzzy’ sounds. You’ll probably find the speaker fabric/material has torn or perished.
Keep it for when all the electronic stuff* suddenly stops working – if you’ve still got power, that is.
*The newer electronic stuff is really susceptible to current surges.
EMP – Electro Magnetic Pulse, detonate in the upper atmosphere and bye bye transistor circuitry and closer satellites.
Older Soviet fighters till the MiG-25 still had valve technology to combat this. Older diesels and pre 1980’s cars with contact breaker points would be largely impervious. Anything really without an engine management computer would be able to work.
Unsure if the military has hardened their electronics these days but I wouldn’t be surprised as these effects of nuclear blasts have been known about since the 1950’s.
Do they have pocket miniHEMP for poker machines?
The lefty MSM is completely obsessed. No one else is.
David Crisafulli repeatedly refuses to reveal his position on abortion during heated media conference ahead of Qld election (Sky News, 11 Oct)
Not about the cost of living, or about keeping the lights on, about the hospitals, about housing, about crime and policing. No they have to keep on pounding away at when women are allowed to kill their babies. This is one case where I support Chrisafulli in refusing to answer such an insulting and evil question.
Miles is about to cop a shellacking Bligh & Newman style.
Media now in full rescue mode by bringing up non-sequiturs.
Personally the ALP is on the nose in Qld that much IMO it will have zero effect. I’ll take my $200 rego discount though…
It’s about time our politicians called these questions for what they are – activist statements – and refuse to answer them. And if they persist, leave the interview.
Abortion is the only issue they have so they stick to it.
Interesting how, with their backs to the wall, that Academics Lawyers and Perverts’ party and the Gangreens fall back on baby-butchering and granny-killing.
In other news, the BBC decides some details aren’t particularly newsworthy.
I was often a visitor to an local “Environment Centre”. These are residential facilities in rural areas for schools to have camps. They have bunk beds and kitchens and toilets. At one I went to, a brown snake had its home at the foot of the associated house, and hung around the toilet blocks for frogs to eat. This in a location with lots of kids.
Snakes, like trees, are sacred, and it is illegal to kill them. In fact, there was a proposal to Parliament a while back that all wildlife, including snakes, were to be given first aid if hit by a car, under force of law.
I share this world with insane people.
I have a pommy knocker in the car for dispatching kangaroos after the bull bar has dealt with them. No way I’m giving first aid.
“Brown snakes are protected!”
Not against Winston’s Wire Snake Whacker they aren’t!
So Greens have to give mouth to mouth resuscitation to brown snakes? Well ok then.
No wonder abortion is their most sacred issue.
These are atmosphere exploded nuclear weapons designed to produce a shower of neutrons in an “Electromagnetic Pulse (EMP)” which degrades and destroys electronic devices. It basically sends the victims back to 1800’s technology to survive. There has been some work in the USA to harden their electrical substations against an EMP, but the effect would still be devastating.
EMPs can occur naturally, look up “Carrington event”.

Today’s Saturday Tele:
SORRY FOR ALLEGED NAZI SIGN
A restaurateur charged with displaying a Nazi symbol at a pro-Palestine rally in Sydney has apologised after a furious response to his alleged actions.
Al Yazbek was arrested after marches last week marking one year since the start of the war in Gaza. Police allege that he displayed the swastika on a sign pictured as showing Israel’s flag.
Mr Yazhek is the owner of upmarket restaurants Nomad Sydney and Nomad Melbourne, as well as Reine & La Rue.
In a statement, Mr Yazhek, 56, “apologised unequivocally” for his actions at the rally.
He said the sign he allegedly carried during the pro-Palestine rally was “deeply offensive to the Jewish community”.
“Friends and acquaintances who know me – both Jewish and gentile – know I am not an anti-Semite,” he said, adding he was passionate “about supporting diversity and equality”.
Mr Yazek said he was “traumatised daily by the ongoing bloodshed” in the Middle East.
He was arrested at the rally on October 5, and granted bail to appear in court this month.
Yair mate…sure mate…of course you are… /sarc off
I don’t know you personally, Mr Yazek.
But I do know you’re a liar.
The sign was premeditated abuse aimed directly at Jews. And the most insulting abuse of all, apart from a physical attack. Just go away and hang your head in shame.
I’m surprised he didn’t quote the old chestnut of the photo being “out of context”. What a vile lying grub.
This is the first step in the fix.
Too many persons of wealth and/or influence dine at his restaurants.
I keep thinking this sounds like a mid-life crisis action of a man in thrall to a young lover who is an activist. People keep mentioning his wife Rebecca so I think she should be asked about this for a full picture.
Nothing alleged about it, clearly a swastika, clearly him holding the sign, being arrested, named and shamed. Issues a disingenuous apology. Don’t need ‘the justice system’ to determine the truth of the matter.

They expect war with China in 2027 .
Min I know some ex-defence types who say China will go if it does when it thinks it is ready and not on western timetables. They think the longer the Chicoms wait the less chance it will happen. Anything after 2030 when their demographic issues really start to bite and also affect their rather opaque financial system.
If anything having a beer with same boys who did deployments from Rwanda to Afghanistan enlightened me to how perilous the state of our forces are, we are far from ready for anything even upheaval on our doorstep. Worse than 1999 when East Timor kicked off. A senior I met who is on his way out of the system medically said after Talisman Sabre last year our 2 Divisions on paper would be lucky to field a combat brigade with antiquated equipment that is full of fatigue cracks and out gunned. The Navy can’t even protect it’s own landing ships, we don’t even have the Frigates & Destroyers to screen. The only new stuff is apparently the Abrams 2 we are getting delivered and the next stuff doesn’t start getting acquired till after 2027.
Sobering stuff but at least we don’t have DEI hires sinking ships on reefs yet.

I’m aware that both education and health in pre 7 Oct G@Z@ was greatly funded by external donors, but why after nine years of h@m@s government was there still such a dependency on outside aid?
That’s a rhetorical question, of course.

Generational malaise of girls gone bananas for guerrillasGemma Tognini

The image I saw was jarring. A young girl, she couldn’t have been more than 14 or 15.
Such a lovely face. Beautiful, open smile. In her hands, a large poster that covered most of her torso. On it, a slogan of hate. It was a proclamation so vile that for a moment I questioned what I was seeing. The poster featured a masked terrorist, his head covered in a keffiyeh, a slit only for his eyes. He was carrying an automatic weapon of sorts, armed and ready. The text on the sign read: by any means necessary.
This young girl was one of thousands who marched in Melbourne against Israel on October 6, her image shared widely on the day and the days following on various social media platforms.
We have deliberately chosen not to show her face because this isn’t about one teenager carrying a hate-filled slogan on the streets of Australia in 2024. The image captured speaks to something so much wider, deeper and more disturbing.
By any means necessary: we all know what that’s alluding to. It’s alluding to the horrific acts of October 7 last year, the worst slaughter of Jews since the Holocaust, and says they were justified. “By any means necessary” is a favourite slogan of the anti-Israel hate mobs globally. It says: whatever it takes. Ends justify the means. Rape, mutilation, kidnapping, summary executions, sexual violence, burning alive – all of it is fine. All of it is justifiable, because by any means necessary.
I’m not convinced a person of such tender years can understand fully the depraved nature of this statement and the weight of what it suggests. But we know from the events of the past 12 months that many scores, hundreds of thousands of women the world over know exactly what it means, and still choose to stand on the side of evil. Align themselves with the bad guys.
This picture bothered me for days and it took me a while to pinpoint the reason before I finally found myself asking: Have we lost a generation of women and girls? And if so, how?
When the war first started, the world was introduced to a woman called Johannah King-Slutzky.
She was, probably still is, an anti-Israel protester studying her PhD in English at Columbia University in New York and became a key face in the early days of student protests there. She also became notorious for asking the university administration to send food to the protesters, just a day after they illegally occupied buildings: “Do you want students to die of dehydration and starvation or get severely ill even if they disagree with you?” She was serious. And seriously mocked from one part of the globe to another, justifiably so.
The propensity for millennial and Gen Z women to take up their self-appointed, terrorist-chic, fashionable arms for Palestine has been well canvassed since Iran, via its proxy Hamas, declared war on Israel a year ago. The psychology of this has been analysed and pulled apart.
Yes we have.

sheila driving
The cover story is engine failure. Given that the Nationals are running to her defence in such robustness I reckon that what the Board of Inquiry will find or some other failure that isn’t her fault. For all we know there a chance that may have been the cause but the BOI needs to do it’s work without interference from the Government or press, as for us in the peanut gallery we’ll always have our opinions but once upon a time they would have just been ignored not fed.
This wouldn’t be much of an issue if she wasn’t wearing 2 notches from the victimhood totem being gender & sexuality and hadn’t been sold to the public along those lines.
Where this gets interesting and hopefully the BOI is open and public is ex-Navy/merchant seaman on quite a few websites have commented that these ships have battery powered thrusters so the ship technically could be manoeuvred or in event of emergency that close to shore just drop anchor. Lack of distress call means it happened fast. Most say there’s a possibility of inaction or incompetence on the bridge.
All say though even her boosters that losing a ship even if not at fault in naval traditions is a career killer.
A young Ensign Nimitz ran his ship aground in the Philippines.
The BOI found he’d failed to consult the local tide tables.
Perhaps seeing his potential (he had graduated with distinction from the academy near the top of his class), they refrained from issuing any career impacting punishment, merely issuing a letter of reprimand.
He repaid their confidence in spades!
Loss of power near reefs? What are anchors for?
I’ve forgotten a lot of the detail, but there was a young Captain in the British Army in the 19th Century on the staff of a very competent Brigadier. The Brigadier was however from less than adequate social background and the Captain – who was – was determined to scupper the Brigadiers career before he won a great victory and would have been catapulted into the Upper Ranks of the army. So he sabotaged the Brigadiers orders during a battle and the result was a defeat for the Army along with the ruin of the Brigadier’s chance of nobility.
The Captain was cashiered, but was so proud of his effort to stop his class from being contaminated by the unworthy that he had a calling card printed with the words – “The Celebrated Coward” embossed on it.
(I’m having to dig way back into the distant past for this but the general thrust is there.)
The point is that a junior rank can get back at a senior officer in ways we find wrong in civilian life, and I’m not saying this has happened, but the chance of it should never be ignored.
Captain was trying to read the map upside down.

Lots of snakes at Werribee Zoo, my grandson and I had encounters with two on the same day last year.
I did take a video of the first, a hatchling moving away from us, but only at a very safe distance.
The other had us trapped inside a small building but we just waited for it to move on.
There are snakes everywhere in the burbs, I nearly mowed one once, I don’t think mine, which was most likely a tiger snake, was government approved.
There is a large creek nearby and an old feeder creek running across the back of my block, now in a pipe, and it’s a breeding ground for rats and as a consequence always plenty in the area so there are going to be snakes as well.
It’s Australia.
If it were Brisbane the council would have the terriers around.
They’re everywhere around me. The red bellies will zoom off as fast as they can slither. The browns not so much. That’s what happens when you have ponds and lakes filled with frogs.
Also had an olive python resident here for a few years (still have the metre long sloughed skins) but I suspect it fell victim to the kookas.
The worst by far are the lace monitors. They steal the chicks from nests, regardless of height in the trees. They just climb up and feast. Horrible things. Swamp creatures.

A police sergeant who allegedly performed Nazi salutes has been suspended on pay.
The people development command officer was suspended on Friday evening following allegations she performed a Nazi salute twice this week.
Both alleged occasions were in front of colleagues at the Victoria Police Academy on Tuesday and Wednesday while the officer was on duty.
The Professional Standards Command are investigating the incidents.
The officer has been suspended on pay.
A statement from a Victoria Police spokesperson said “it wouldn’t be appropriate to comment further at this time” as the “matter is ongoing”.
The alleged incidents follow the banning of Nazi salutes, symbols and gestures in Victoria in October 2023.
The first person was found guilty of performing the banned gesture this week.
He performed the gesture in October last year, days after the new laws came in.

While many here don’t like Greg Sheridan, he has written an excellent article today in the Oz. He demolishes the stupid claims of “proportionality” pushed by Israel’s foes. He also slates Jason Clare (as I did in the Letters) for pushing the Muslim barrow.
I remember when Jason Clare was reasonably sensible…for a Laborite. I wonder how he can rationalise his stance/look in the mirror in the morning?
Usually within a week or so he’ll destroy his own argument trying to keep in with the cool kids. He may only do so on Credlin which is the only place I see him.

It’s been clear for a while now that authorities are reluctant to publicly associate Islam with terrorism for fear of provoking a backlash from Muslim leaders, who have threatened to instruct their communities to cease cooperating with security agencies, leaving ASIO et. al. without vital sources of intelligence.
In short, mass Muslim migration has delivered us quite a pickle.
Another brilliant idea foisted upon us by our political class.
Can’t associate a group with terrorism for fear the group will indulge in terrorism?
How odd.
No, for fear that, at the behest of group leaders who are quick to take offence, members of the group will cease to inform on others in the group who are interested in terrorism.
Charming mindset, eh?
These are very much top-down cultures and the police et al have to keep the leaders on side or they close ranks.
The liberal conceit was that when these migrant groups were exposed to our superior values they’d integrate and assimilate.
The evidence several decades later, both here and in the UK, is that by and large they don’t; rather, they replicate the home culture, which they regard as superior to ours.
Sounds a bit Islamaphobic of them.
ASIO losing a source of intelligence? Did Mike Burgess resign? That should result in an increase in intelligence at ASIO.
Muslims fear a backlash after tomorrows terrorist attack.

King Charles tells Republican campaigners ‘I won’t stop Australia ditching the crown’Rebecca EnglishDaily Mail
Sat, 12 October 2024 7:17AM
The King will not stand in the way if Australia looks to replace him as head of state, he has told republican campaigners.
As Charles prepares for a historic visit Down Under, he told anti-monarchists he will not interfere if the people of Australia one day vote to remove him.
In a letter to the Australian Republic Movement (ARM), who had written to Buckingham Palace to request a meeting with the monarch when he arrives on his landmark royal tour next week, his assistant private secretary emphasised His Majesty’s “deep love and affection” for Australia.
Dr Nathan Ross added: “Please be assured that your views on this matter have been noted very carefully. His Majesty, as a constitutional monarch, acts on the advice of his ministers, republic is, therefore, a matter for the Australian public to decide.”
He also commended them for their “thoughtfulness” in writing, saying it was “warmly appreciated”.
The ARM campaign had itself praised the “important contribution” of the royal family, saying many Australians would continue to “respect the British monarchy” and wish the two countries to remain “the closest of friends and allies”.
But they insisted in their letter that it was time for their country to stand “on an equal footing with other nations” internationally and claimed there was mounting support for the move.
I doubt the leaders of ARM really care about Australia first. I think they see positions for themselves and grift and to lord it over their fellow Australians.
It will become another elite industry like the aboriginal one.
One more.

Yes.
Where’s the bony skull damage?
There’s none I can see – and a blindman should be able to see that calibre damage.
The damage from genuine skull shots is real and obvious. These ones provided by Palliwood, – and notice they don’t give two views for triangulation – have probably had the projectile sat behind the victim. The neck one is too disordered to tell.
The contemporary cultural cringe:
“What must the “international community” think of us!?”
Some might aver that our polity has proven itself superior to most other nations, as exhibited in our general stability and prosperity. Until the socialist wreckers who tend to favour republicanism gained the upper hand, that is.
Republics are boring and have nothing above politics.
And so many are oppressive dictatorships – the Peoples Republic of China, the Republic of North Korea are a case in point; and not forgetting for a moment the Republic of Cuba, the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, and the Federative Republic of Brazil –
I’m not one for monarchy’s if not home grown then it seems like a waste of money.
However the crown & rep GG keep that power out of the hands of grubs like Turnbull who has his eye on first Prez and others like rep of the third waves of human migrations. Imagine someone with a tub and thumping away in that role which we would likely get if popularly elected or elected by 2/3rd Parliament..
Our system of Government may not be perfect but it works. Leave it alone.
No republic without an elected president.
Can you imagine a President, chosen by a joint sitting of both Houses of Parliament – President Julia Gilliard, succeeded by President Malcolm Turnbull?
And no one can be nominated if they are a sportsperson, have been in the ‘yarts industry, or associated with any political party in any way, shape or form.
I’m sure the list of exclusions could get to a point where no one could be Prez.
No self-nominations. As Billy Connolly said, “The desire to be a politician should automatically disqualify you from being one.”
It’s been clear for a while now that authorities are reluctant to publicly associate Islam with terrorism for fear of provoking a backlash from Muslim leaders, who have threatened to instruct their communities to cease cooperating with security agencies, leaving ASIO et. al. without vital sources of intelligence.
I think you may be right, Roger. Burgess has been behaving oddly, in my opinion. While he has been on the ball in the past, since Oct6 he seems to me to have been missing in action. Admittedly, he was excluded for some time from the Labor government’s security committee – as appalling as that was. But since being readmitted he has been, in my humble opinion, a docile participant – at least from the public perspective. I thought that may have been because he was back in “on trial”.
I may be uncharitable (& probably not aware of the facts) but I think he has been a waste of space. And it worries me.
ASIO et al can work from the bottom up if they are brave enough.
When someone is caught doing or planning a terrorist act, or providing support for terrorists (Mr restauranteur), they go to their family home and deport everyone related to them and seize all their assets as recompense.
Either they start to break ranks, or we get rid of lots of them.
Treat them the way they would treat us. They might decide to move to a muslim country on their own.
A snake will die if you cut the head off or the body in half.
Burgess has the unenviable task of attempting to contain a mess our political class has created.
To reprise my nested response to calli upthread:
Muslim cultures are very much top-down cultures and in Western countries the security authorities have to keep the leaders on side or these communities close ranks on their instruction.
The liberal conceit was that when these migrant groups were exposed to our superior values they’d moderate, integrate & assimilate.
The evidence several decades later, both here and in the UK & Europe, is that by and large they don’t. Rather, they replicate the home culture, which they regard as superior to ours. Misguided notions of multiculturalism acted as a handmaiden in this endeavour.
We – or rather our political class – have been quite foolish in all of this and more recently quite craven in their avoidance of the issues.
Quite so, Roger. I know it is easy to criticise, but sometimes one’s instinct is right.
I’m sure Burgess would rather be monitoring local Communists & their Soviet agent sponsors, as in days of yore!
Conservatives haven’t been in charge for the last few decades.
If they were we wouldn’t be in this predicament.
And I might add in regard to voters that they were never given a say in the matter. In fact, the views of the majority, which have always been known through reputable surveys, were never heeded by politicians, just as they aren’t now.

If they don’t the Straits of Hormuz close and good luck getting anything through the Red Sea past Yemen. Iran will be a bigger PIA than it already is.
Second COA and the more likely IMO is like Iran’s symbolic strikes is some largely symbolic strikes back at some IRG complexes.

David Pocock?
Oops, not him. Bummer.
I really love the work of the US pundit Kunstler. Here is his latest on the political machinations in the US:
Don’t kid yourself: Kamala Harris does not want to be President of the United States. She doesn’t even want the ceremonial stuff, the incessant shuffling from one photo op to the next, the tedious Easter egg rolls, the prayer meetings, the turkey pardonings, the tiresome state banquets for men in strange headgear who are unfamiliar with using the fork and knife, and forbidden to sip chardonnay. . . .
It’s obvious she has been played for a chump, that she was sandbagged into play-acting “the candidate” by an odd coalition of the distraught and the desperate — that is, the many agency blobsters who fear prison and the perfidious politicians such as Pelosi, Schumer, Mitch the Turtle, the Clintons, and Obama, paid to cover for the blob, often doing it badly, who fear the judgment of history, as well as the loss of their fortunes. Distraught and desperate characters make foolish decisions.
About thirty seconds after “Joe Biden” vowed to stay in the 2024 race, a delegation of these panicked pols paid him a call and passed him the black spot, knowing he could not credibly front for the massive election cheat underway. He was barely able to front for the previous one in 2020, when every lever of power got pulled to-the-max to conceal the truth about the steal, and to severely punish those who dared to murmur doubts about the election’s freeness and fairness.
How did they decide that Kamala would do any better? I assure you we will find out when the party explodes in recriminations sometime after November 5. It will probably turn out to look like the 2017 movie, The Death of Stalin, a frantic vaudeville of scheming buffoons oblivious to mundane doings of the suffering nation they pretend to serve. Unlike Nikita Khrushchev in 1953, Kamala did not prevail among this gang of squabbling clowns by force of personality or guile. She was merely a default setting as veep, arrived at to present the illusion of continuity and solidarity where none existed. She was not even involved in the backstage action. I doubt that anyone even asked her if she wanted the assignment — she was only notified after-the-fact. Thus, all the drinking.
The outstanding question: will the Democratic Party actually go ahead and attempt to execute an election steal despite growing evidence of a developing Trump landslide that might obviate it? The works are already in motion. The mail-in ballots went out long ago and early votes are getting cast by the day. The overseas ballots that require no US address or voter verification are flooding in by the millions and four years of open borders has 10-million illegal aliens (at a minimum) dispersed around the nation, great gobs of them planted in swing states, processed through the DMVs and social services — with the requisite automatic voter registration — their ballots already pre-bundled for harvest.
It could go a few ways. One is, just let’er rip, harvest all those fake votes, stuff the drop-boxes, flood the zone, and do it all right in America’s face as if to say: we can do whatever we want. . . to get whatever we want. . . and you can’t stop us. That is probably the point where blue America finds out exactly what the Second Amendment was designed for. You might also expect a whole lot of state-organized resistance, especially in the populous red ones, Texas, Florida, real court cases over fraud this time, contested certification.
Or, the election could come out a hopeless unresolvable muddle. There’s no precedent for this and no provision in the Constitution, but you can imagine the Supreme Court having to decide a necessary do-over minus all recent gimmicks, paper ballots only, voters with proof of citizenship only, all voting on one re-scheduled election day before January 1. This novelty would be something apart from the clunky Congressional machinery established for settling electoral college disputes, since it is predicated on various states’ inability to determine their electoral college vote in the first place, based on patent irregularity and fraud.
You could also imagine a period of disorder so deep and grave that the regime behind “Joe Biden” declares martial law. . . or, alternately the military — the martialinstitution — has to take matters into its own hands, shoving aside even “Joe Biden” and his filthy retinue. Appalling to consider, I’m sure, but these things happen in history, and the Party of Chaos has set enough mischief in motion to wreck the election and wreck the country. Call it catastrophizing, if you will. There it is.
But to step back from that abyss, it appears that Mr. Trump’s momentum accelerates by the day, that he is becoming, at last, an implacable, irresistible juggernaut who will, perforce, overcome all the gimmicks, traps, and frauds arrayed against him. Kamala seems to think so. Have you ever seen such resignation, such loserdom-in-action as her recent performance on CBS’s 60-Minutes, or her pitiful admission on ABC’s The View that she couldn’t think of anything she would do differently beyond the excellent management of national affairs under “Joe Biden” (and herself as veep). Surely that said it all. She has nothing, brings nothing.
Long ago, she was a pretty girl with a law degree and an infectious laugh on the fringes of local politics in San Francisco. The winds of fortune blew her this way and that way until she ended up way over her head, used by the reprobates around her as a mere device to stay out of jail. She ends as an historical prank on her own country. It must be deeply demoralizing to be used like that in front of the whole world.
As long as they have NFL, NBA, Baseball, NASCAR and all the fast food they can eat (panem et circenses), the American people will not rise up in revolution against the Democrats. They can cheat to their hearts content, and it will just make grist for the mill for conservative pundits.
The military won’t do anything other than support the government of the day.
No one knows where the line is that has to be crossed and frankly they probably don’t care.
Their guns may as well just hang on a wall and they can look at them from time to time.
I really hope I’m wrong.

Last section on the US red lines lays out a possible counteraction if Iran closes the Straits of Hormuz and probably the furious back channel negotiations with Israel that we wouldn’t be seeing to blunt their response:

Chick footy news (the Hun):
Outstanding journalism. This is a mighty call, given the packed field of putridness inflicted on this wide brown land in recent times, but that call is absolutely on point.
Ha ha ha.
But ‘elite athletes’!
Oh my lord. That is an Under 12 scoreline (or Minis, should one go as far back to recall that term) – which, by the way, was played in 20 minutes on smaller grounds. These two teams of tarts took an entire football game to reach that Under 12 benchmark.
Hard to imagine indeed.
This almost-entirely subsidised and unjustifiably over-promoted madness must end.
There’s your problem with the unwatched, unloved Lezzo League right there.
It’s like boys under 12 footy. Even the chicks watching it can’t pretend it’s entertaining.
Girls grow up without the hand-eye coordination that footy drums into boys.
Changing that will take a generation.
The low attendance numbers will be fixed if AFL agrees with a current demand that an AWFL game precede an AFL game.
Heh, I’m still hoping that on some wet muddy Melbourne Saturday an AWFL basement matchup will actually manage a 0-0 draw. It’d be historic!
It would make bagging soccer that much harder.
You really do have to wonder about some of these people:

My response to Rosie’s 1:01 p.m. post re alleged x-rays of G@z@n children:
While the images are not of sufficient quality to be examined, and I’m certainly not an expert in this field by any means, I have the following questions:
In the image top right, with the (roughly pixelated) bullet apparently sitting within the brain itself, should there be an entry wound on the top of the skull? (Clicking on the image reveals the top of the skull. There does appear to be a small fissure in a skull plate, but at first glance (remembering my amateur status) it does not appear to align with the angle of the bullet.
The image at left with the bullet seemingly having pierced the spinal chord (or perhaps passed beside it) gives the impression that the bullet has entered towards the bottom of one of the eye orbits. Should there be a noticeable damage path, or would that not show up on an x-ray?
On the image bottom right, with the bullet seemingly coming to rest between several of the cervical vertebrae, but not severing the spinal chord, is it normal for the projectile to travel such a short distance? If it was a ricochet, why is the bullet still perfectly shaped?
My final thought is that the projectile in the top right image gives the appearance of being more elongated than the other two, and indeed, the projectile in the bottom right image has a different profile again, though possibly that is not helped by the poorly-pixelated black outline.
I’m genuinely interested in the thoughts of Cats who have some forensic knowledge, especially whether or not an x-ray is capable of showing a wound channel/path and point of entry through bone.
No forensic knowledge of Xray of skull bullet wounds, just from standing behind the radiologist where we both say “Faarrk! and he’s still alive?!” but generally there is a fragment trail in cases where bone has been disturbed. And it’s as obvious as dogs balls.
Nah – the fact there is only the one picture and not one at right angles so we can see the position of the projectile is the ‘tell’ of bullshit.
From the comments…
The bullets look like they still have their casings.
I can’t find an x-ray image of a .223 to show that with casing they look very different to in that x-ray.
Those look like the bullet/pill only (i.e. sans casing) however they look pristine, like they’ve just come out of the box when you’re reloading.
They just looked too long to me. No deformation. I thought the actual bullet was much much smaller. Also, for a projectile of that size why no catastrophic damage to bony structures?
Here’s a fair idea of how they look naked, and inside a shell casing.
Can someone do the sums for a comparison between this:
And this – The Halifax Explosion.
It isn’t that bad really.
As a kid I remember as passenger in our old EH station wagon on the way to nanna’s passing the big gasometer on the North Shore. It was huge! Painted green, which is ironic in the circumstances. Town gas is 50% hydrogen and most of the rest was carbon monoxide.
Of course that gas mix was produced from coal, so there was nothing special about it back then. Now it is green hydrogen though so holy and perfect (and extremely expensive).
Further to my post above (pretending I know what I’m talking about!), on two of the three images, the purported bullet has been outlined using some type of basic graphics software. I’m assuming that due to the jagged pixellation of the black outline (the shape having been created horizontally and then rotated). This tampering (presumably to highlight the location of the projectile for the visually-impaired?) makes it even more difficult to discern the shape and size of the former.
Upon re-examination: in the bottom left image, the projectile seems to have passed through the spinal chord (this is a child, bear in mind) without having damaged the dorsal spinal process (apologies for just guessing the terminology). Correct, or impossible to tell? Don’t quit my day job yet?
X-rays are good for counting bullets and bones- fractured bones can be diagnosed reasonably- any tissue softer than ligament is nigh impossible to guess at.
I’m genuinely interested in the thoughts of Cats who have some forensic knowledge, especially whether or not an x-ray is capable of showing a wound channel/path and point of entry through bone.

Jacinta Price: Payman’s attempt to falsely equate Indigenous disadvantage with Palestinian cause is offensiveJacinta Nampijinpa PriceThe West Australian
Fri, 11 October 2024 2:37PM
Comments
The last thing Australia needs is more politicians trying to make it all about themselves.
But that’s what we got this week with Senator Fatima Payman’s latest stunt to draw attention to herself and her divisive political ambitions.
Her announcement that her new political party will be called Australia’s Voice is yet another divisive brick thrown through the window of our national project.
It’s not a mistake that she announced this around the one year anniversary of the barbaric October 7 terrorist attack on Israel and the anniversary of the defeat of the Voice in the 2023 referendum.
Payman’s refusal to stand up for Jewish Australians and back our allies in Israel already put her outside the Labor party, the party that preselected her and got her into the Senate.
It’s true, Labor speaks out of both sides of its mouth on the conflict in the Middle East.
But for Payman, only fully blown, pro-Palestinian social division is good enough.
She wants a government that, like her, is deathly silent on the atrocities perpetrated by Hamas, but which accuses Israel of “genocide” for responding.
She wants to turn a blind eye to Australians flying the flag for Hezbollah while turning up her nose at the Jewish Australians facing a rising tide of anti-Semitism.
But her persistent attempts to falsely equate the issue of Indigenous disadvantage with her pro-Palestinian cause is just too much.
Is she serious?
First, she wears a flag pin that combines the Indigenous flag and the Palestinian flag. That’s just grossly offensive.
And while my views on the Voice are well known, and I don’t agree with the leaders of the Yes campaign on how we address Indigenous disadvantage, they’re right to be outraged about Senator Payman’s thoughtless co-opting of their cause.
Imagine naming your pro-Palestinan political party after the Voice, while signalling to the world that you’re jumping on board their issues with an Indigenous-Palestinian flag pin on your lapel.
It’s as ignorant and naive as Payman’s false claim in her first speech that Labor abolished the White Australia policy, when in fact the Menzies government started dismantling it in the 1950s.
Former Senator Nova Peris said it well in the pages of The Australian.
“It is breathtakingly disrespectful, and a complete misappropriation of yet another aspect of my people’s story and emblems,” she said.
“The Australian Labor Party gave Ms Payman a voice. This rogue Senator has misappropriated that privilege in a self-entitled manner.”
And you can tell it’s self-centred because when pushed on what her party will actually stand for, Senator Payman has no answers.
Because there is no policy, only division. The division is based on disrespecting Indigenous Australians and failing to defend Jewish Australians.
It’s not the system of government that is the problem, it’s the government system that is the problem. Endless unelected overpaid leftist drones.
OK, prolly meth addled dude tries to hijack bus. Cops in attendance us OC spray, first part good.
They then tried removing him from drivers seat but got smacked in the chops for their troubles. Having escalated to OC why go back a notch on the use of force? Next step should have been batons or tazer but if he wasn’t responding to OC, tazer would have done not much, so get the ASP baton out FFS. Then I read about a chick getting a broken jaw, ah makes sense now. How many were 10lb wringing wet chicks?
FMD, the guy was full of some substance trying to drive a bus full of old people to Geelong and could have been a danger to others. So at what stage does he not get beaten to submission by ASP batons and dragged onto the nearest footpath where paramedics inject him full of Narcan or sedatives to a quick check at emergency and a nice padded cell after.

It’s a desperate tactic, why would fucked up zztop work when the csiro boondoggle failed?
I’ve found this belief to be widespread among young people. Is it taught in the curriculum? Or are teachers disseminating disinformation off their own bat?
No worse then Linda Burney’s claim that she was regarded as “Flora and Fauna” before the 1967 referendum.

Or Bill Shorten’s claim that the early settlers presented Aborigines with small pox infected blankets?

Legendary folk hero Robin Hood falls victim to woke culture as Nottingham Building Society drops him from logoTroy de RuyterPerthNow
Thu, 10 October 2024 2:20PM
Comments
He’s been a legendary hero for centuries, robbing from the rich to give to the poor and saving maidens in distress — but Robin Hood has finally met his match in the modern world’s woke culture.
The outlaw and his band of merry men, along with Maid Marian, have long been at the centre of countless movies, TV series and books, hiding out in Sherwood Forest in Nottingham.
But an English financial institution that once proudly used the 12th-century noble turned rebel in its logo has dropped him from its banner — because he’s not “inclusive enough”.
Nottingham Building Society axed Robin as part of a rebrand to celebrate diversity.
Old fuddy-duddy logo on the left, new & improved logo on the right.

I’m amused that Robin Hood is now a running dog racist capitalist.
Ok, yes, he was a monarchist too, that probably has something to do with it.
On the other hand in all the movies he was terribly ghey, so I’m not sure exactly where they’re coming from. Men in tights!

I was wandering to and fro and came cross this by Freeman Dyson. I thought he was a theist but this is more Buddhist than theist:
He imagined Dyson spheres.
That is big balls stuff!

Heh, equal and opposite takes!
I’ve just been off to see if I could find my copy of Ringworld in all my bookcases, so that I could read it again. I failed. Might have to buy it off of Amazon rather than spend more time searching!
(Dyson was a climate realist, btw, because he knew science.)
I think for Dyson these subjects were playful explorations not to be taken seriously. He wouldn’t have cared if it sounded like Hegel or Buddha.
Response to Rabz’s 9:25 a.m. post:
All we filthy Caucasians could get tatts on our foreheads of the word ‘INVADER’ and it STILL wouldn’t be enough.
We could allow every fauxborigine who demanded, to spit in our open mouths, but it STILL wouldn’t be enough.
We could hand over all our material possessions and wealth and march ourselves off the coastline into the frothing breakers until we drowned, but that STILL wouldn’t be enough. Because there’d be no-one to fund them then, and they’d accuse our ghosts of turning our backs on them.
There is NO ENDPOINT, NO SOLUTION, NO CATHARTIC MOMENT of national ‘reconciliation’. The victims and the milkers-of-victims require a never-static stream of perceived trauma in order to sate their narcissistic urges. They will use, abuse, and seek to damage anyone who refuses to feed them, because the alternative is to stay silent and listen to the voices in their heads that repeatedly drone ‘YOU are not good enough.’
That was a pretty embarrassing ‘genocide’ for an industrialised empire, wasn’t it?
All those “Frontier massacres” that turned out to be nothing more then “Stories my Nanna told me?”
The only way I deal with this is to ask them the following:
How will reconciliation stop women drinking during pregnancy and hence prevent FASD, how will it stop men bashing women in remote communities, etc etc. Make the focus on specific behavior issues not symbolic crap.
I do that because their rhetorical tactic is always to control the narrative and they have been remarkably successful at that, mainly because our politicians and most talking heads are too gutless or too ignorant to challenge their narrative.
To say to a person that their problems are entirely the result of other peoples’ behavior is to make that person powerless to change their own behavior. Intergenerational trauma happens but it isn’t solved by talking about it, it is solved by creating better home environments for children, by working towards a better future, by recognizing that it is possible to transcend the past. More importantly, it naturally washes out. It must do that because otherwise everyone would be effed up.
Heh.
A comment on the Bounding into Comics website:
(Emphasis mine).
I’ll be appropriating that one.
I don’t normally comment nor get hot-under-the-collar about TV or fillum remakes that change the gender or race of prominent characters (if it’s their IP, they can do whatever they want), but a story on Breitbart about ‘the first openly transgender stormtrooper’ in the Star Wars universe prompted a thought. The character has very pink & blue stripes on their body armour – won’t this draw attention to them in battle? How practical is that?
Anyhooo, enough of the procrastination…
The Voice failed because the communication vacuum that was Albanese was filled by a motley of obvious, greasy-faced troughers and opportunists selling contradictory versions of what the Boice might be.
Any misinformation was the direct result of a process that was set running by politicians without any proper information as to the end point.
As Dr Beaugan notes above, I feel no particular need to reconcile myself with the broader Aboriginal community, or them with me. I suspect that 60% of punters felt the same.
