A professor specialising in “inhuman geography” at a British university has declared the subject of geology as racist, claiming it has been unduly influenced by colonisation.
Kathryn Yusoff, who lectures at the prestigious Queen Mary University of London, condemned geology as a subject was “riven by systematic racism”

The incurable TDS is the subject of an in depth analysis by Deborah Tyler at American Thinker. Here’s an extract, but the whole thing is essential reading. As Harold Ford Jr. Is fond of saying, I don’t agree with everything she says, and the comments below the piece are as fascinating as the article itself, which has a historical perspective on the indoctrinations visited on us since the 1960s.
”This obsessive hatred, popularly called Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS), is not a free-standing mental disorder. Rather, it is a delusional symptom cluster at the terminal stage of a sixty-year vast, progressively insane attempt by the left wing, especially the cultural, educational and political elites, to entrain the American people to despise their nation, their laws, and themselves in order to break their self-respect and mentally enslave them to government control. Few people can stand against indoctrination and brainwashing that they have been exposed to all their lives.”

Is it my imagination or has it suddenly gone very quiet in ME and Ukraine?
Following on from the TDS article, the current mass-hysteria indoctrination using misinformation is of course the all-encompassing climate alarmism. It could only work with the complicity of the corrupto-crats in parliaments, business, the PS and the MSM. All should (one day maybe?) be held accountable for the damage being done.
Callie – Probably just local MSM not reporting. Lots of stuff is happening. Israel potted the Hezbie press spox guy overnight. Russia hit Ukraine’s electricity sector with 120 drones. Biden has given permission to Ukraine to now use long range US missiles to hit targets in Russia. The Norks are thinking about sending another 100,000 troops to help Russia. And it’s reported that the remaining Hamas leadership has just bugged out from Qatar to Turkey.
Let’s hope they are successful, and that the same happens here in Oz.

I spent some time on the weekend looking through ‘X’.
I wouldn’t say that the election of Trump is driving the left crazy, but I would say it has turbocharged their crazy.
One person reported that black people and Latinos were being sent text messages informing them of their imminent deportation. The next sentence melodramatically pondering why MAGA is so full of hate.
Absolutely no connection shown between any such messages but the thread took off from there.
We do know which side of politics loves hoaxes to cause alarm and try to gin up outrage against their enemies. If there are such messages I am pretty sure where they originate based on history.
But my favourite was one where one Twit was flabbergasted that Trump was already choosing his team. There must have been a steal and the election investigated.
Or more accurately, when will such practices be implemented here.
It’s an idea that’s been around for yonks but never got up for wage and salary earners. Income splitting.
Mothers do the best job of looking after their children, but don’t get paid to do it.
Vote Labor and get drop-kicks like Thistlethwaite banging on about helping people with cost of living pressures, including child care!
Which blog and first person was the first to coin the name of the incurable illness know as TDS?
Politicians tend to make sure such measures are not inflicted on their particular electorate as they want to be re-elected. Living in Bowen’s electorate then I might be at less risk of suffering the effects of his decisions. Or does he think he will get enough votes no matter what, his is a safe seat after all?
That would make far too much economical sense and too many families would no longer be reliant on government “services” such as childcare. It suits politician far better to have whole families on welfare and safely voting for the those who promise them more “benefits”.
Actually, there are a lot of lefties on X who are adamant there must have been a steal in the US elections.
When Trump’s supporters claimed fraudulent behaviour in the 2020 election they had evidence such as the late-night drops of extra ballots when there were no Republican observers, or said observers being told the count was done for the night only for it to resume when they left, the real-time transferral of votes from Trump’s tally to Biden’s (Trump losing thousands of votes and Biden’s leaping by the same amount), the boarding up of Windows so people could not see what was going on, and impossible instantaneous addition of thousands of votes creating vertical lines on the graphs tracking tallies, and so on.
As far as I can tell there is absolutely no evidence available for this election. The Democrat vote sunk back to where it had always been before (no extra 15 million which made the basement hiding lacklustre Biden more popular than the near numinous charisma-geyser Obama – such was the feeling of the Dems at the time).
But, by golly they are full of unfounded theories.
It is cathartic, I suppose.
Slightly less destructive than sitting down pulling the wings off birds* while tearfully screaming “Look what you are making me do, Trumpf!”
*They would not pull the wings off flies. Call it a professional courtesy.
I had my usual Sunday night call with my Kent based farmer daughter.
She was not he usual placid self. Apparently the landholders in her district have been receiving emails, calls and in some cases visits from the Chief Constable’s people announcing that it has been declared illegal to operate farm machinery on the roads even if registered.
This thuggish outrage is of course focused on preventing Tuesday’s farmer protest.
She said that her frustratingly passive neighbours are finally recognising the risks that they are facing are are at least beginning to talk about organising.
You have to wonder if there will be enough telephone poles to accommodate UK fascist constabulary.
And in “not my SFL” news:
Littleproud is making pronouncements distancing the SFL from Trump.
Have these morons ever spoken to an Australian conservative?
From wiki:
The origin of the term is traced to Charles Krauthammer, a conservative political columnist, commentator, and psychiatrist, who coined the phrase Bush derangement syndrome in 2003 during the presidency of George W. Bush. That “syndrome” was defined by Krauthammer as “the acute onset of paranoia in otherwise normal people in reaction to the policies, the presidency—nay—the very existence of George W. Bush”.[10][11][12][13] The first use of the term Trump derangement syndrome may have been by Esther Goldberg in an August 2015 op-ed in The American Spectator; she applied the term to “Ruling Class Republicans” who are dismissive or contemptuous of Trump.

@TimRunsHisMouth
Ironic of course it was where all three countries had some mighty fights in WWII:
Japan, Australia and USA alliance
Australia has increased security ties with Japan amid fears over China’s military might. Annual deployments of hundreds of Japanese troops will now rotate to Darwin, with a new alliance-style agreement with Tokyo and Washington to counter regional threats.
Up to 600 Japanese amphibious force personnel will join annual US Marine Corps deployments to the Top End from next year.
Australia’s Defence Minister Richard Marles announced the measures with US Defence Secretary Lloyd Austin and Japanese Defence Minister Nakatani Gen in mid-November, saying a new formal commitment to consult on regional contingencies would provide “substance and a structure” to the trilateral security partnership.
Speaking at the naval base HMAS Coonawarra, the commitments came as Mr Austin declared he was confident the US could deliver on its promise to provide Virginia-class submarines to Australia, while Mr Marles confirmed Japan’s Mitsubishi Heavy Industries was one of two remaining contenders to build Australia’s $10bn general purpose frigates.
US submarine production is languishing at around 1.4 boats a year – well short of the 2.3 per year needed for it to meet its AUKUS commitments without eating into its own requirements. But Mr Austin said investments in production, including a $5bn funding injection by Australia, would “get this done”.
Japan’s Mogami frigate is up against Germany’s MEKO design, proposed by TKMS, in the race to build 11 new warships for the navy after South Korean and Spanish rivals were knocked out of the running.
Mr Marles said Australia was “very impressed” with the Japanese ship and would make a decision next year, with the first three vessels to be built overseas and the remaining eight to be constructed in Perth. The US Marine Corps rotational deployments have been under way for the past 13 years. About 2000 marines exercised in the Darwin area this year.

They are expected to provide instruction to US and Australian troops on a) using captured and/or wounded enemy for bayonet practice, and b) cannibalism.
