I have not read that book, but I recall a documentary I saw about 20 years ago, I think it was called simply, Pearl Harbour.
An Australian Navy Leut. exchange officer at the time was interviewed. He worked for RAN Intell and was posted in San Diego, where the USN Intel HQ was located.
He stated that the USN knew an attack on Pearl Harbour was imminent by Nov 1941. (The attack was originally planned for Nov 30, but due to maintenance issues, had to be postponed to Dec 7).
He was asked why little to no action was taken by the US to ameliorate the damage from an attack, eg ships in harbour and aircraft lined up close together.
He said he could not answer that, but that he had advised Canberra of the attack in early Nov 1941.
He added, “if an Australian Leut knew of the impending attack, it is beyond reason to think that the US President did not know.
As history shows, General Short, (USAAF) and Admiral Kimmel, (USN), were scapegoated for the losses on Dec 7.
The US has a grand tradition of vindictiveness and sacrificing its own defence personnel for political purposes. It is about to happen again in Syria.
Mind you, there’s a few who deserve a position in front of their own men. Milley and Lindeman just for starters. And there’s quite a few who have imposed the Woke culture on the armed forces, to its detriment.

Apparently First Nayshuns cryptanalysts broke the code between the Sirius and the Admiralty just three days before the Not-the-First-Fleet arrived, but the Nayshunal Navy’s only available capital ship, the aging battle cruiser Wunkanoo, was in drydock after a collision with a dugong. The rest, as they say, is yet-to-be-fabricated history.

Trouble a the mill, Herald Sun:
A planned review by former Midnight Oil frontman Peter Garrett of the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra has been canned after it was revealed delays in the review process meant he would not be able to take part.
In a statement on Friday the MSO also announced that chairman David Li and three fellow directors would be stepping down as part of “an orderly process of board renewal”.
It was also revealed that the MSO had reached a settlement with sacked managing director Sophie Galaise on Friday who had lodged a Fair Work complaint.
It is believed the complexities surrounding the claim with Ms Galaise had led to the reviews delay, which has now, in turn, led to Garrett stepping down from his role.
“The MSO intended that musician and former Federal Arts Minister the Hon Peter Garrett AM would lead the review,” the company statement read.
“Unfortunately, due to the delays in progressing the review arising from legal action commenced against the MSO, Mr Garrett is no longer available to lead the review because of pre-existing commitments.
“The MSO is deeply appreciative of Mr Garrett’s willingness to support this process.?
The review was ordered by the MSO board after they fired Ms Galaise following a chaotic reaction to onstage remarks by pianist Jayson Gillham.
Gillham accused Israel of deliberately killing Palestinian journalists which led to the MSO cancelling his remaining performances.
“Over the last 10 months, Israel has killed more than one hundred Palestinian journalists,” Gillham claims to have said.
“A number of these have been targeted assassinations of prominent journalists as they were travelling in marked press vehicles or wearing their press jackets.”
Gillham has since launched legal action against the Orchestra to defend artists rights to perform “without fear of censorship” and that the MSO had discriminated against his political views.
The dispute has now been resolved.
If ever Mr Gillham played again, I guess we can go to his performances and, ‘without fear of censorship’, give him a critique of his views?
Father Gilham to son Gilham*:
“I helped stop the murder of Hamas Terrorists Journalists during the ethnic cleansing of Gaza by the Jews.”
“Really Daddy? What did you do to stop the Jews?”
“I… umm… I refused to play the piano.”
*Some facts may not be as accurate as is required using scientific methodology. Like that used for Nut Zero.
Gillham has since launched legal action against the Orchestra to defend artists rights to perform “without fear of censorship” and that the MSO had discriminated against his political views.
Jayson Gillham is a passable pianist, good at some not so much at other pieces but that is besides the point. Still doesn’t give him any rights to offer his politics on stage.
He can do as he pleases privately or in interviews, who cares?
If I hire a carpenter or go to a concert, I pay my money to see or hear them perform, not to harangue me with their political views.

Huge machine, look at the size of it. There could be bigger, different tillers but it’s big enough to impress me.
The farmer says;
———————–
“Tilling in a drought killed, grazed cover crop. Northern Mallee region of South Australia.
14m wide, 12 km/hr using 3.1 l/ha.
Will use a rod weeder over summer then grow winter wheat on the low ground and cereal rye on the ridge.
Objective is to texture the surface so it doesn’t blow, mix in the sheep and cattle manure, level the surface and control weeds.
Ground was a perennial native grass pasture before the cover crop so the soil is sticky. This will go back to pasture after the cash crop.”
I’d like to see those ploughshares beaten back into swords. Probably get a couple of APCs out of it.

How did they translate this?
Is any of the 3 written languages from the 550 BC known or handed down?
A really beautiful work in gold, they knew how to impress.
All we put in time capsules is mostly crap and dig them up in less than a few decades.

The gold foundation plaque of Darius the Great (550-486 BC) is a trilingual inscription in Old Persian, Elamite, and Akkadian.
The inscription, known as the DPh inscription, describes Darius’s empire and is written as follows:
Darius the great king, king of kings, king of countries
Son of Hystaspes, an Achaemenid
This is the kingdom which I hold, from the Sacae who are beyond Sogdia to Kush, and from Sind to Lydia
What Ahuramazda, the greatest of gods, bestowed upon me
May Ahuramazda protect me and my royal house
Gold foundation plaque of Darius the Great. Decades ago, 2 gold/2 silver plaques were found during excavations of Apadana Palace at #Persepolis-#Iran. They were buried intentionally in stone boxes along with coins as a time capsule from Ancient #Persia.
They’re currently in the National Museum of Ancient #Persia in #Tehran.
Would just love to see this precious relic but missed opportunities to go to Iran. We once drove through Turkey following the footsteps of Alexander the Great in his epic conquest. Had Arrian and Plutarch in my hands. But we stopped close to the Syrian border. He went on and we turned back.such an experience. But will never see the inner sanctum of the Persian Empire now.
Seeing that Iran wants to impose on the world a dogma that Islam has been here forever, this piece of history is in great danger.
Why?
Because it is proof that Islam has not been here forever.

**Summary:** In the interview on UnHerd, Kevin Roberts, president of the Heritage Foundation, discusses “Project 2025,” a comprehensive conservative initiative aimed at reshaping American governance and institutions. He emphasizes the urgency for conservatives to adopt aggressive tactics to reclaim control over institutions that he believes have been co-opted by the left. Roberts expresses a desire to dismantle certain institutions, such as the Department of Education and elite universities like Harvard, to realign them with conservative values. He argues for significant reforms in the Pentagon and FBI, insisting on prioritizing American interests in foreign policy while also critiquing the current leadership of these institutions. Ultimately, Roberts envisions a revitalization of the American dream rooted in a new conservative movement that distances itself from traditional, more complacent conservatism. **Key Points by Section:** 1. **Introduction (0:00)** – Kevin Roberts introduces Project 2025 and its impact on the conservative movement and upcoming Trump administration. 2. **The truth about Project 2025 (1:30)** – Project 2025 is described as a detailed policy and personnel database aimed at ending fractiousness within the conservative movement. – Over 110 organizations collaborated, leading to an overwhelming response with 20,000 applications for roles in government. 3. **How is it conservative to burn down institutions? (6:00)** – Roberts argues for a proactive conservatism that addresses the left’s co-opting of institutions, advocating for “controlled burns” to regenerate them. – Emphasizes that he loves institutions but calls for their renewal rather than preservation at all costs. 4. **Should US universities like Harvard be ‘destroyed’? (8:45)** – Harvard and other Ivy League schools are critiqued for perpetuating a “woke mind virus.” – Suggests seizing their endowments if they continue to rely on government funding while undermining conservative values. 5. **“I want to tear out the US Department of Education root and branch” (14:50)** – Advocates for dismantling the Department of Education due to poor educational outcomes since its establishment. – Proposes that state governments take over educational responsibilities. 6. **Is Heritage Foundation President Kevin Roberts a revolutionary? (18:40)** – Roberts identifies himself as part of a new conservative movement that seeks to refound institutions rather than merely reform them. – Emphasizes a peaceful yet firm approach to reclaiming governmental power. 7. **Should the Pentagon and the FBI be reformed? (22:12)** – Argues that both agencies need significant reform due to leadership failures. – Advocates for focusing on future threats rather than outdated military strategies. 8. **Donald Trump and the new conservative foreign policy (25:30)** – Roberts rejects the label of isolationism for the Trump administration; he advocates for prioritizing American interests while encouraging European allies to take more military responsibility. – Critiques European nations for not sufficiently contributing to their own defense while relying on the U.S. In summary, Roberts presents a vision for a new, more assertive conservative approach that challenges established institutions and aligns governance with conservative principles as the starting point for Project 2025.
So how are they going to fix this “Failed Experiment?”
How do they fix the Grooming Gang victims?
How do they bring back to life the British citizens murdered by their invaders?
How do they get back the Trillions of pounds/dollars/marks/francs thrown at the invaders in an attempt to pay the Danegeld.
Heads on Pikes Time.

Georgia (bordering Russia) is on my mind.
On 26 October the Georgian people re- elected the Georgia Dream party to government.
‘Making matters worse, the Georgia people voted to support a referendum that requires any political activist group to make the source of their funding from foreign government a matter of public record. Georgia’s opposition political parties will now have to reveal if they get more than 20% of their activist funding from the USA (they do). This type of transparency makes a color revolution more difficult. Hence, the EU and USA are very angry.
According to the process, Georgia’s Prime Minister Irakli Garibashvili does not want expanded war with Russia. Therefore, just like Viktor Orban (Hungary), the prime minister of Georgia was targeted for removal and replacement with a pro-war leader.
Yes, if you want to have a Foreign Agent Registration Act in a nation where the United States is the foreign actor, then you must be a Kremlin stooge. So goes the argument. It would be a lot more difficult for the U.S. to meddle in foreign countries if the people receiving the money from the U.S. had to disclose it to their citizens.’
Election interference?
– Senior lawmakers from Germany, France, Poland, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Sweden, Finland came to Georgia to instigate the opposition to contest the election results.
– The deeply divided societies between the EU and Russia are forced to choose between “us” and “them”, and they must choose “correctly”.
– The Georgian government is not even “pro-Russian”, they merely do not want to be used as a pawn by becoming a frontline against Russia (like Ukraine).
– Imagine the uproar if Russian or Chinese officials would show up in the capital of other countries to contest their election results – with such an obvious bias. What are the rules of election interference?
Italians and other EU citizens being paid to demonstrate:
Yes, the hypocrisy here is monumental.
The US has that very act!

Here’s one miltonf. They want to intrude on every aspect of life. Get a load of this from the Daily Telegraph:
Booze bureaucrats want to police the flavour of premixed alcohol and ban drinks they deem “undesirable” – including anything too sweet, too fruity, or too tasty.
Flavoured vodka, alcoholic ginger beer, and bourbon mixed with cola are some of the products that could be in the sights of Liquor and Gaming NSW (L&GNSW) under extraordinary draft guidelines circulated to the industry.
The Saturday Telegraph can reveal that bureaucrats want to regulate the “taste profile” of mixed drinks on sale at the local bottle shop.
The industry has been warned that premixed drinks could be banned as “undesirable” if they taste too fun, particularly featuring “confectionary or dessert-based” flavours.
While the draft guidelines are intended to police drinks that might be attractive to kids, they could end up banning products that are popular among legal drinkers.
Alcoholic drinks that combine booze with prominent soft-drink brands are a specific target, “particularly if the taste of alcohol is masked, and the flavour of the non-alcohol branded product is prominent”.
The draft guidelines have sent shockwaves through the industry.
“This decision empowers unelected bureaucrats to become pseudo ‘taste police’ cruising the aisles of the local bottle-o and banning drinks they decide are too fun,” one industry source said.
The source said that there would be nothing stopping the regulator from appointing a quasi “assistant commissioner for taste” to “decide what’s in and what’s out”.
The wording of the draft regulations puts a whole range of drinks in the firing line.
They include Billson’s premixed vodka range, which offers flavours such as “Musk,” “Cake,” “Tangle,” “Twister,” and “Sunset Fizz”.
Baileys flavours like salted caramel, red velvet cupcake, or tiramisu could also fall foul of the regulator which believes “dessert-based” tastes are a high risk of appealing to children.
According to the guidelines, drinks that are too affordable could also be banned as appealing to minors.
The guidelines are the latest way the government intends to tackle an emerging market of premixed drinks, after Hard Solo was forced to rebrand as “Hard Rated”.
The regulations mean that while overseas drinkers can enjoy premixed Jack Daniels and Coca-Cola or an Absolut and Sprite collaboration, Australian drinkers could miss out.
Retail Drinks Australia CEO Michael Waters said the idea of policing “taste profile” was an area of “concern” for the industry.
“How a beverage ‘tastes’ is personal and subjective, making it difficult to establish any objective standards,” he said.
Asked for his reaction to the draft guidelines, Libertarian MP John Ruddick said they were the “absolute definition of the nanny state gone mad”.
“Regulating alcohol content is one thing, but these guidelines effectively prohibit properly labelled alcoholic drinks merely because they taste sweet,” he said.
The guidelines would directly impact the drinks popular with 22 year olds Grace O’Keeffe and Miranda Thomas.
“As someone who doesn’t often drink alcohol, having drinks that mask the flavour of alcohol is more enjoyable for me,” Ms O’Keeffe said.
Ms Thomas said everyone has different taste preferences.
“Unfortunately, people are going to drink regardless, and restricting their choice of drink based on “sweetness” is an odd thing to base a policy on,” she said.
A L & GNSW spokesman said that new guidelines are being developed to “ensure liquor products are being designed, packaged and promoted in compliance with NSW legislation and community expectations”.
“L & GNSW will consider feedback from consultation before finalising the guidelines.”
I believe that Billsons is no longer in operation.
But that doesn’t exclude the fact that this is a dingleberry that will do next to nothing except raise the ire of old mate who sees his Woodstock go begging.
I mean a taste commissar? To see what can be given the Khyber Pass? FMD
promoted in compliance with NSW legislation and community expectations
Funny that, community expectations when most in the community couldn’t give a rats about alcopops. I used to be partial to Dark & Stromy’s at this time of year with the humidity & storms but can’t justify the price.
However with other community expectations say, when it comes to crime, sentencing, stopping ratbags intimidating people/interfering with transport, na too hard.
I would suggest – if they are suddenly so keen on policing ‘communidity expectayshuns’ that they have a referendum which is binding on Parliament.
Except we’ve seen how that works after the effort to enshrine race based favoritism has been a flop.
I wonder if there will be a testing panel? Probably get paid 200 large to drink grog all day.

Law used as a cudgel to silence repugnant speech
Angela Shanahan, The Australian, 29th November, 2024
The recent ruling against Pauline Hanson by the Federal Court for an impulsive tweet deemed unlawful because it was insulting “at least in part because of the race, colour or national or ethnic origin of the relevant person or group of people” and was not exempt as fair political comment has outraged many right-wing commentators by what they see as an assault on freedom of speech. Or at least it was a trivial matter blown up into a Federal Court case. But was it right?
And a more pertinent question is whether the “prohibition of certain types of speech in 18C of the Racial Discrimination Act to offend, insult or humiliate certain people” is necessary and correct or a useless and even insidious attempt to legislate moral behaviour.
First, was the ruling right? In terms of the law, of course the tweet was sent because of the ethnic origins of Greens senator Mehreen Faruqi. You don’t demand publicly in a tweet, “why don’t you pack your bags and piss off back to Pakistan” without making insulting reference to that person’s ethnicity…
Well, actually…
“Pakistan” is not an ethnicity, it’s a nation state, with over a dozen major ethnicities making up its population, not all of whom get along with each other. The word itself was derived from the first letters of the three multi-ethnic geographical regions that were to constitute the new nation – Punjab, Afghania & Kashmir.
Telling someone to go back to their nation state of origin, Pakistan in this instance, is not necessarily an insulting reference to that person’s ethnicity, as it wasn’t when Hanson told another parliamentarian to “go back to New Zealand.”
This is not “splitting hairs”, it could be consequential in Hanson’s appeal, upon which more than this case alone turns.
Stewart’s decision was flawed and clouded in bias. He’s got an adult son who is the posterchild (No pun intended) of trans issues NSW and his opening speech to the FC was full of platitudes on colonialism, gender and lefty clauses. I could only imagine his private conversations and tut tutting about Pauline.
Seems Pauline’s appeal seems to have more of a coherent strategy that her defence at the original hearing. Good luck to her but I think ultimately this will end up in the High Court. The FC will probably back their own.
Unless there was more to the tweet that I’m unaware of, I’m struggling to understand exactly which word/s were determined as insulting or derogatory. Where are the adjectives describing that state of origin, the perceived reason for her journey, or the manner of her journey?
But where is the reference to Faruqi’s ethnicity or race?
If an Anglo- Australian told a whinging Pom to “go back to Blighty” is it racist?
The charge of racism, which rightly carries opprobrium, is being used as a legal cudgel to beat up anyone who deviates from what the ruling caste considers to be acceptable speech.
Words can change their meaning dependent upon context. It would seem to me that the phrase ‘go back to’ has been removed from the tweet and placed in a context of the court’s choosing. Did the court infer intent – is ‘intent’ part of the legislation?
I am deeply, deeply offended by Farqui’s terrible insult and slur on our dear departed Queen Elizabeth the Second, Head of the Australian State to which Farqui has sworn allegiance.
I very much would like this woman to return to a country more to her liking rather than accept the benefits granted to her by Queen Elizabeth’s Australian Senate. This desire I have is due to Farqui’s views and has nothing to do with her ethnicity, whatever that might be.
What dangerous creature am I describing in the following (rescued from a nested comment): People often only realise the damage when the bite becomes infected. Prior to that it’s ‘Awww, wookat da widdle ting!’ (Something that harmless looking – mediocre even – can’t possibly hurt, can it?).
Colloquially known as Legless Zombie Arachnids, the Chameleon (colour-shifting) Conservative Politician is a member of the reptilian-parasite family. For reasons probably linked to human pride and hubris, very few people admit to being bitten by one of these dull-looking creatures, therefore there are few reliable medical statistics. It is believed, however, that their slow-working venom, once in the bloodstream causes a type of hypnosis to occur in rational thinking part of the human brain, rendering it permanently flaccid.

Open borders but gated estates for the new establishment . Also known as lennonism. Could never that drug addled sanctimonious prick. Violent too I believe.
The condition is NATO accepting Ukraine. What’s to stop the war restarting (post Trump) at some point after acceptance with NATO ally member obligations?
How many Americans want their children to study Latin, read the Old and New Testaments, and appreciate the High Art of the Renaissance? Couldn’t be too many, say intellectuals and educators on the left. Those enlightened practitioners can’t help assuming that a classical curriculum should turn people off, given the half-century of multiculturalist criticism of Western civilization and American exceptionalism, but apparently the long campaign to kill respect for the old lineage hasn’t succeeded.
The depressing thing here is that the Morrison government would have agreed with the leftist bureaucrats who oppose this curriculum. We had Stuart Robert as minister for tertiary education blowing adolescent raspberries at Shakespeare.
The pragmatic and non-pretending people of Georgia saw what the U.S and EU did to Ukraine, and they want nothing to do with it. Georgians overwhelmingly voted to retain their sovereignty and right to self-determination. The Biden administration and the EU are furious about it, and immediately the U.S. State Department promised to organize every effort in their interventionist arsenal to challenge the election outcome.
Sundance -October 28, 2024
The nation of Georgia has learned from watching what the USA did in Ukraine; they want no part of it. The “Georgia Dream” party is essentially the Georgia equivalent of the U.S. MAGA party. Pragmatic, clear-eyed, nationalist-minded voters who do not want the CIA arm of USAID meddling in their affairs.
The majority of the people in Georgia do not support the continual bloodshed in Ukraine, they are pragmatic with their views toward Russia, and they don’t want the USA and Brussels determining their politics for them. Georgia Dream is like a Georgia-First party. They had an election last weekend and retained control over parliament.
Georgians are right to be “circumspect”. After all, it was Georgia that gave the world Josef Djugashvili; AKA Josef STALIN, the poster “child” for socialism in all its murderous manifestations.
That aside, totalitarian sociopaths seem to appear in all manner of cultures and “ethnicities”.

Thanks for the kind offers, but Elsie is mine.
At least until late Jan/early February. She’s really no bother ( cough – cat fur – cough).
As for the brush, I’ve got one but the matting happened suddenly over nearly a week and is located only above her rump. By the time I noticed her chewing on the damn things it had (cough) gotten to the point of her not allowing me within brushing distance.
Her fur is incredibly fine – if I could collect it I’d get $500K per bale. It’d make the best quality (cough cough) Merino look like steel wool. I’ve had long haired cats before but Elsie is streets ahead in fineness, strength, and ability to find it’s way up nostrils.
LOL the next door neighbours cat has taken a shine to me, not a problem because cats don’t bother me. Every time I’m out front I hear the meow then my legs are being attacked by rubs. She usually gets a scratch for her troubles so I don’t think I’m helping 🙂
My mrs however hates cats with a passion. Funny if both of us are outside the cat will make a beeline straight to her as if it knows she doesn’t like them.
I think cats have succeeded in their domestication of humans apart from one or two holdouts.
Mum used to loathe cats, and my two older sisters were the same. In fact I’m the only one who likes them. They all like dogs but only one has a dog – which is a nasty little whining rat dog – not a real dog at all – just a rat that was the subject of a failed radiological experiment. I’ve pointed this out to Sister sister on multiple occasions and warned her that the damn thing would wake her up one night, tearing at her jugular, but no – she won’t hear a word of it.

The king of Buffoons, Boris Johnson, has just given an interview on the Daily Telegraph UK podcast.
The inane ex PM just cannot help but put his foot into his sizeable mouth.
Saying the silent part, out loud, yet again, Boris stated:
“We are in a proxy war with Russia.”
He went on to declare that:
“The UK should send “Peacekeeping” troops to Ukraine” and
“Ukraine is not getting enough weapons, they should get everything (?) they need.”
Maybe Russia or China could send some weapons, because everyone in Europe, plus the US, have nothing more to give.
Continuing on the buffoon theme, ‘elensky has relocated the Rada, to a top secret Fuehrerbunker, in an attempt to avoid some of those Russian weapons, ……, that obviously don’t work.
Putin’s speech last week, has obviously caused great dismay to the cocaine snorting dolt in Kiev. Putin called him a usurper.
Clearly, Putin doesn’t understand that he HAD to postpone elections, indefinitely, to preserve democracy in Ukraine.
Just as he had to shut down radio and TV outlets, unfavourable to him and gaol political opponents, to protect free speech.
He IS a great leader, with a profound knowledge of military matters.
Just look at Kursk.

No idea of the accuracy of this. But loading it for those interested.
“Nuclear bombs now redundant, Russia’s new, Mach 10 kinetic weapon is far more deadly”
Russia’s new deadly Hazelnut missile takes out an underground bunker at Dnipro used by NATO to assemble rockets fired into Russia. Cairns News received intel yesterday that Trump had invited the head of NATO to Mar-a-lago in Florida to discuss a ceasefire in Ukraine From Cossack Colonel Yuri Komonyski
The “Hazelnut” is a non-nuclear solid-fuel hypersonic medium range ballistic missile which travels at Mach 10-11, (2.5-3 klms/second) delivering a 50kt punch with a strike range of 5000 klm. Reportedly launched from Astrakhan it took less than 5 minutes to hit Yuzhmash (Dnipro) located 800 klm’s away.
It has a starting weight of 40-50 tons and is capable of delivering 4 separate combat units and can be potentially equipped with 4 individual thermonuclear warheads each with a capacity of 150-300 kt’s. Each missile may contain 3-6 warheads each with individual guidance accurate to within 50 metres.
These missiles are impossible to intercept and can hit anything in Europe, if they want to play catch. The weapon, based on the RD-20 has detachable warheads with eight kinetic munitions weighing 350-500 kg each that struck Yuzhmash (Dnipro). All of the buildings and bunkers were vaporised. It punched through 10’s of metres of concrete destroying subsurface workshops which were originally designed and built by the soviets to withstand a nuclear attack. Everybody needs to go back to the drawing board. Kinetic munitions are near impossible to counter.
The weapon is the equivalent of a nuclear device that pulverises the target yet does not cause a fireball or leave dangerous radiation. This missile can take out every European facility in minutes and it cannot be stopped. Local residents are reporting that the Yuzhmash is gone, nothing but dust remains.
Under the soviets Yuzhmash once employed 10,000 workers. Most of the Yuzhmash facility existed underground comprising at least 5 stories, 3 of them 6 metres high. This is where the unholy NATO command was helping the Ukro’s assemble short-range ballistic (500 to 1500 klm) missiles from NATO supplied equipment and parts, which they pretend to pass off as Ukrainian.
There was no big blast or explosion, there was a huge flash and subsequent elements striking targets. The huge bang was followed by what appeared to many to be an earthquake and then total silence, the entire facility was turned to dust. While this was just a conventional weapon, the impact was so powerful that buildings for several klm’s shook and suffered damage. Because the facility was underground, all the pipes for the water supply in the city have been destroyed. The Hazelnut system is to be integrated into the Russian military, mass production is to commence.
The RF estimates that the strike killed at least 50 senior NATO staffers that were hidden below ground. These Horde members were responsible for programming and controlling the targeting of the long-range missiles being provided to the Ukro’s by NATO. This intel was gleaned from Ukro communications intercepts. Approximately 1500 security personnel were based there and at least 200 military personnel were liquidated by the strike.
Bunkers are now rendered ineffective, leaving the Wests best hope in negotiations with Russia. The Ukro’s and their unholy NATO brethren assumed they were unassailable in this subsurface bunker. This was a warning against further NATO / US escalation. A Russian ICBM would take approximately 40 minutes to reach a US target. These missiles can strike any European country, estimated flight times: UK – 19 minutes, Poland – 8 minutes, Belgium – 14 minutes, Germany – 11 minutes. Russia clearly and repeatedly warned NATO about firing NATO missiles at Russia.
The US has confirmed that Ukraine can strike Russia using US ATACMS, launched and controlled by the unholy NATO. NATO is considering pre-emptive strikes to take place inside of Russia. The UK and France are considering deploying troops into Ukraine if Trump reduces Ukro support. UK long range missiles are also being fired into Russia, which has declared that the UK is now directly involved in a war.
France has given authorisation to use SCALP missiles to strike Russia. Russia is entitled to use weapons against military facilities of countries that allow their weapons to be used against Russia, ie., US, UK, France. In lockstep the NATO Horde’s puppets Greece, Spain, and Italy are closing their embassies in Kiev. German Chancellor Scholz quickly called on the unholy alliance to seek de-escalation, stating Berlin will not supply Kiev with long-range Taurus missiles, but failed to comment on his secret plan in the event of war with Russia. US / EU propaganda outlets are discussing returning Ukraine’s nuclear status or deploying Western nuclear weapons on its territory, right now. Russia is on full nuclear alert as is the US. Biden is too incompetent to have control over launch codes.
Since the Ukro war began around 1.3 million Ukrainians are dead many more wounded. The RF is forecasting the east of Ukraine will be reincorporate into Russia, the central portion will have a pro-Russian government, and the residual will be “disputed territories” whose fate can be settled by Poland, Hungary, and Romania. The US is using Taiwan to provoke a crisis in the region while NATO continues pumping strike weapons banned by the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty into Asia hoping to provoke China.

I believe the above may have come from Russia Today or one of the Kremlin mouthpieces. Not discounting the effects of the new weapon but not out of character for eastern blocks, they do love their strategic rocket forces.
Musk and Vivek are entitled to their opinions but this is now outside their remit. I’m sure Zelensky is aware of Trump’s plan, which is to make further aid conditional upon entering into cease fire negotiations. As for Putin, if he doesn’t come to the table in good faith Trump will back Ukraine to the hilt.
Crypto entrepreneur Justin Sun on Friday fulfilled a promise he made after spending $6.2 million on an artwork featuring a banana duct-taped to a wall — by eating the fruit.
At one of Hong Kong’s priciest hotels, Sun chomped down on a banana in front of dozens of journalists and influencers after giving a speech hailing the work as “iconic” and drew parallels between conceptual art and cryptocurrency.
“It’s much better than other bananas,” Sun said after getting his first taste.
An Australian actor has revealed the Russian mafia stole the ABC’s iconic Bananas in Pyjamas costumes and held them for ransom. … Mr Radley said the theft happened when an ABC marketing boss took the costumes on a promotional trip overseas.
“Grahame Grassby was the head of marketing and franchising … and Grahame went all over the world with some banana suits to get photo opportunities at places like London Tower and the White House,” Mr Radley said.
“He took the suits to Moscow … and the suits were stolen, and there was a ransom note given to Grassby for $100,000 Australian dollars for the return of the suits.”
Inflation is getting really bad if you have to pay $6.2 million for one banana or $100,000 for two of them.
And prices?
Laws of nature and economics suggest a great year may generate dismal net.

Speaking of my bleatings about missing rain last night well early hours it came down. 3.5″ along with the lightning & thunder. Gutters overflowing everywhere.
According to Bloomberg, the traditional Thanksgiving meal is destroying the planet. Yes, you read that right— mashed potatoes, ham, green bean casserole, and especially turkey are causing so-called “climate change.” In an article titled “Gobbling Meat Is Fueling a Climate Crisis,” authors Zahra Hirji and Olivia Rudgard claim that eating turkey, or just meat in general, has become excessive.
Ok I can see how turkeys might want revenge for all those Chrismasses and Thanksgivingses, but destroying the planet would be a bit over the top.
They should have followed Kemal Attaturk’s blueprint for a secular state. Instead they became a muslim state under Erdogan.
That could only bring trouble.
Oh, wrong Turkiye.

‘Absolutely gutted’: Cases dropped against soldiers over notorious war crimes allegationsBy Nick McKenzieNovember 30, 2024 — 2.00am
The ex-soldier suspected of committing one of the most notorious alleged war crimes involving Australian special forces in Afghanistan will never face justice after an elite investigative agency concluded its case was too weak to put before a jury.
The Office of the Special Investigator (OSI) has told witnesses it will not charge the former Special Air Service Regiment sergeant suspected of brutally murdering an injured and unarmed Afghan farmer.
It is a decision that has shattered the Australian army medic who exposed the alleged crime and agreed to testify against the accused man.
It also highlights the failure of the OSI to achieve results almost four years after it was created by the Morrison government to investigate the Brereton inquiry’s findings that at least 39 Afghans may have been executed by about two dozen special forces soldiers.
Since its formation in early 2021, the OSI has charged only one ex-SAS soldier.
In November, the OSI advised witnesses assisting it in two separate major war crimes investigations that neither would proceed to prosecution based on internal legal advice. Witnesses had agreed to participate in the process often at great personal and professional cost.
Cut to it directly – Nick McKenzie is a useless turd. Nothing he writes says is believable.

There are certainly indicators that US culture has undergone a fundamental change since the election.
No pussy hats, no antifa, no arrogant MSM creeps announcing that they ‘control’ the political and social discourse.
My very favourite indicator is also a negative – no fashion designers announcing that they refuse to accept “bimbo” Melina as a customer – um. Ignoring the reality that Melina never wears Met Gala or Hollywood tartwear. Perhaps the accellerating crash of their customer base will see them undertaking the walk of tears to Mar-a-Largo begging for work.
Perhaps the most telling indicator is the inability of the MSM to generate insane TDS based false campaigns. It is entirely reasonable to predict that in future the only sites peddling baseless anti-Trump lies will be The View and ABC Australia. Being immune from market forces Sales and Furgeson will continue screaming their outrage over their irrelevance. Their fully owned clown William’s embarrasing Canuteish rant against social media is adequate evidence that they have no intention of ever reflecting Australia’s cultural and political beliefs.

For agricultural Cats – after a rotten growing season, West Australian wheat growers are headed for the third largest harvest on record.
Wonderful.
Oz is, after all, fundamentally dependant on agriculture and mining in today’s world. The only things left that we produce in any meaningful amount. Otherwise, we are a service economy – dutiful servants (and consumers) of the rest of the world and what it produces.
Yet, in an epic example of self destruction, our eco-fanatics are even trying to destroy what is left that we produce.
Indeed, the 2023–24 Budget, $10.8 million was allocated to “continue Australian diplomatic representation to Afghanistan from Australia’s interim mission in Doha”.
We should remember that Payman lived in Australia for more than fifteen years as a dual citizen and only undertook to renounce her Afghan citizenship when a political opportunity arose and required her to do so – again, not a crime, but hardly a good look, either.
Payman should clarify her position: with consular channels re-established, will she finalise the renunciation of her Afghan citizenship?
Ultimately, when our politicians like Payman champion the objectives of foreign entities – that is, they chant, “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free” – they undermine electoral confidence in what, exactly, their priorities are, especially if they are already burdened with dual citizenship complications.

Wandered over to the SpaceX website to see what they’re doing.
This afternoon our time they’re launching two rockets in the space of 10 minutes, one from Florida and the other from California. Amazing.
The first one is being live broadcasted but not the second, which interestingly is launching one or more spy satellites plus 20 Starlink ones as well. Which is a fine way to get the most out of a rocket launch. I wonder how much they charged the Pentagon for this?
I’m sure Zelensky is aware of Trump’s plan, which is to make further aid conditional upon entering into cease fire negotiations. As for Putin, if he doesn’t come to the table in good faith Trump will back Ukraine to the hilt.
What would demonstrate coming to the table in good faith? If Zelensky is offering territorial concessions for NATO membership, would that be considered good faith by Putin? No. Putin has outlined his least acceptable offer, if Trump offers less he’s already baked in that response given the outline.

That wouldn’t be coming to the table in good faith.

I very much doubt Putin would tolerate NATO on Russian borders. Remember that Russ has been attacked and has attacked from the West too many times to be happy with that coalition sitting on her front lawn.
Mind you, far too many of the nations on Russia’s western borders have had Russian troops murdering and raping their way across THEIR borders to be happy about any territorial losses to them.
I’d like to see a coalition of the intermediate states – sort of a Mittel Europa/Southern Europe excluding Germany, from the Baltic Sea to the Adriatic and the Black Sea.
It would be strong enough to resist Russia and NATO if needs be.
also highlights the failure of the OSI to achieve results almost four years after it was created by the Morristeen government to investigate the witch hunt’s findings that at least 39 taliban terrorists may have righteously had their pointless existences brough to a long overdue end

I don’t think the ceasefire agreement in Lebanon will last long. The Hezbies have been breaking it over and over and Israel has been returning fire as they are allowed to do. But which has the Lebs crying Israel Bad.
On the other hand the fun in Syria right now might change things, since the Syrian Army is anemic and has been relying on Hezbie fighters to keep the Sunnis out. So there’s incentive for Hezbollah to switch fronts from the south to the north, if they can.
they refuse to accept “bimbo” Melina as a customer

Canadian cops are pathetic. I reckon most are following orders from Castro to save their jobs.
From my reading of the motion, isn’t it not only a no confidence motion in Trudeau, but also a confidence motion in Jagmeet Singh to be his replacement as prime minister?
Wouldn’t Mary Simon just immediately appoint Singh as PM on reading this if its passes? That it wouldn’t necessarily trigger an election – it would be Singh’s decision as to whether or not to call one?
Scene from the excellent new Taylor Sheridan series, Landman, starring Billy Bob Thornton, where Billy Bob rips the bejesus out of renewables talking to a woke skank:
“Numbers” does his block about this on Michael Smith’s blog, resorting to his usual ad hominem attack on Thornton and then he ignorantly conflates “climate change” with the methods of producing and disseminating energy:
If you can take anybody with a name like “Billy Bob” seriously, you will believe anything.
Having said that, six women did. He’s been married six times.
And he knows absolutely buggerall about the climate.
Obviously that qualifies him to preach about climate change.
Next he’ll be offering advice on marriage.
And there will be neanderthals who will listen to him.

The CO always has ultimate responsibility (blame) in grounding/sinking/collision cases because he or she authorises the Officer Of the Watch to drive the ship.
If OOW is incompetent then why were they not removed?
Having said that a lot of court-martials of the CO do result in them being exonerated because the OOW was doing everything right and the accident occurred because of external factors beyond everyone’s control.
In the news conference, one of Chief of Navy or Minister of Defence said something along the lines of “Muscle memory should have kicked in and so-and-so reached over to check that “George” was off. That didn’t happen”
In that case, the Captain hasn’t ordered enough drills. That should have been on a checklist that had been run multiple times. That’s why we do drills – so ALL the bases are touched, and everyone knows what they’re doing.
In the world of geopolitics created by the U.S. Dept of State and CIA, the pretending is thick.
A recent report has Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy now offering to give up territory to Russian President Vladimir Putin in exchange for NATO membership for the remaining portion. The story is sold by western media as if Zelenskyy has options, he doesn’t. However, Putin has a very strong weapon that President Trump has to navigate with a team of people around U.S. policy that are tenuous at best.

Great article on Jo Nova’s blog regarding fightback against Big Business using collective muscle to increase their ability to dominate the energy sector and increase their market dominance.
Texas and 10 other US States have pressed the radioactive Antitrust legal button and filed against BlackRock, Vanguard and State Street. The states claim the money managers bought up large stakes in coal companies and then colluded to promote ESG and DEI (diversity, equity and inclusion) goals that reduced coal output. The decreased supply of coal, in turn increased the cost of electricity to consumers. It was fundamentally anti-competitive behaviour. These three companies together have $26 Trillion dollars of assets under management. That’s only one trillion smaller than the entire US GDP.

I felt the same about protecting our little Currawong mum on the nest from the weather. She’d chosen to nest in a fairly unshaded area close to our verandah and was open to rain and sun. I used to spray her with a mist when it was stinking hot, but in the rain she was on her own, and valiant with spreading her wings to protect her chicks.

Appetite for disruption: We’ve got to talk about Lidia ThorpeThe independent senator’s week of agitation ended with her being booted from a Senate fed up with her antics. Can she come back?
By James Massola
November 30, 2024
Listen to this article
6 min
Even on her way out of Melbourne’s Tullamarine Airport on Thursday night, Lidia Thorpe was still drawing attention to herself.
While the rest of the Senate sat late into the night in Canberra on Thursday, Thorpe had arrived on the Qantas shuttle to Melbourne at about 7.25pm.
As she made her way through the crowds in the terminal, the independent senator passed a member of the Australian Federal Police and then snapped.
According to a witness, Thorpe, still wearing her “Blackfullas Palestinians” tank top, turned to the officer and demanded to know if he was ready to use the weapon.
“A machine gun at the airport? For f—’s sake!” she shouted, and kept walking.
The officer said nothing (the AFP’s Counter-terrorist First Response team carries short-barrelled rifles at nine major airports around Australia, not machine guns). Passersby studied their feet, not sure what to make of the incident.
Before the flight to Melbourne, Thorpe had been spotted enjoying a drink with three companions in the Qantas Chairman’s Lounge in Canberra – one of the many perks of office available to all members of federal parliament – after spending hours on the lawn outside parliament at a rally denouncing what she called “colonial HQ”.
The AFP declined to comment about the incident. A spokesman for Melbourne Airport said no incident had been logged. Thorpe was contacted for comment.
No one protects standards or the values of the West: the liars and filth are up each other’s arse and the LNP are gutless chipmunks. So when a POS like thorpie or the muzzie hags comes along no one is going to stop the skanks from shitting all over our society. All that needs to happen is the next time thorpie opens her gob some one smashes her in the chops and then arrests the bitch. End of story.
I’ve thought a 5.56mm in an airport overkill for a while, a la Lindt Cafe they can cause collateral damage. Seen plenty of guns in airports overseas, mostly 9mm MP5 type though. Only ones that seem to carry assault rifles like AK47’s seem to be basket cases of countries.
Thorpe is a rolled gold idiot though. What Crossie said.
Good leaders can identify the issues that are important enough to justify running down their cache of power and influence.
Anthony Albanese’s decision to champion the cause of the last of the Bali Nine drug dealers is further proof he is not a good leader.
Of all the things the Australian Prime Minister needs to worry about on the world stage at the moment he chose to try to save five people so thick they thought it was a good idea to traffic narcotics in a country that is internationally renowned for having a death penalty for drug crimes.
Consider this snapshot of the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade’s to-do list.
We’ve signed up to arrest Benjamin Netanyahu because the International Criminal Court reckons he’s a war criminal.
Kevin Rudd’s Twitter rant against Donald Trump has left relations with the US in the worst shape since Ben Lexcen unveiled his winged keel in 1983.
The AUKUS submarine deal — which is to say the entire national defence policy — is hanging by a thread.
We’ve got no Plan B there because the French hate us thanks to Scott Morrison’s decision to cross his fingers when he talked defence contracts with Emmanuel Macron.
The Chinese are making our Prime Minister look like some kind of Manchurian candidate by lavishing praise on him while eyeing Washington.
We’re offside with almost the entire world over a deal to make big multinationals pay minimum rates of tax.
And the world’s richest man hates us for trying to tame social media, which would ordinarily be a cause for cheer but when the world’s richest man is also a Trump whisperer, really is not.
Of all those things, we’ve chosen to waste intellectual and political effort on a handful of oxygen thieves who rolled the dice with the Indonesian constabulary and lost.
After 20 years of mediocrity and confusion, Australian government is plumbing surprising new depths under this strange little peanut.
The Higgins equivalents in the Labor machine must have convinced the peanut that there is a deep residual sympathy in the Australian voting population for the remnants of this gang of drug smuggling simpletons.Evidence for this sympathy has been well hidden for many, many years.
Not BPD, no sustained depression. Probably no psychopathology. She is behaving like an asshole because there haven’t been any consequences.

Thorpe is the greatest hypocrite Australia has ever known. Had her “Blackfullas Palestinians” staged a “kinetic protest” in the terminal she would be the first to demand that the AFP protect her with everything they had. She has such contempt for all of us but has no qualms in taking our money in the form of senatorial pay and benefits. I hope I live long enough to see her come up against poet justice.

In all seriousness, if Lidia Thorpe feels so disenfranchised in this wide brown land she should piss off back to the land of her ancestors.
Many oirish bimbos have jet black hair (which contrasts magnificently with their alabaster skin) due to the Spaniards who washed up there many moons ago after a certain unfortunate regrettable naval incident.
Reflecting on last week’s Senate Hansard, I examined the upcoming expansion of the AML/CTF regime to include lawyers, accountants, real estate agents, precious stone dealers, and trust and company service providers. This initiative stems from a 2015 Financial Action Task Force (FATF) report highlighting shortcomings in Australia’s AML/CTF framework.
The Explanatory Memorandum of the mendments projects annual costs of $1.88 billion, which businesses will inevitably pass on to individuals. The driving force behind this regulation appears to be the risk of “grey-listing,” with the government estimating potential economic and reputational damages to Australia of up to $10.7 billion over the next decade. This raises questions about what has been done since 2015 to address these issues—and why the rush now, just before Christmas 2024.
AUSTRAC’s 2014-15 Annual Report noted that the FATF recognised Australia’s mature AML/CTF regime but recommended improvements. However, over the past nine years, progress has been limited. AUSTRAC reports in 2016 show efforts focused on global initiatives, such as supporting other nations’ AML/CTF programs and contributing to FATF projects. Meanwhile, issues critical for Australia to be compliant like beneficial ownership rules (Trusts) remain unresolved, leaving Australia either “Non-Compliant” or “Partially Compliant” in key areas (Mutual Evaluation attributes R24 and R25).
For nearly a decade, AUSTRAC has seemingly accepted the risk of grey-listing, which could cost Australia $10.7 billion, while prioritising international contributions. Adding to the concern, a Henry VIII clause in the new legislation allows future amendments by legislative instrument, suggesting uncertainty about its adequacy.
Ultimately, Australians face $1.88 billion in annual costs for legislation that may still be unfit for purpose. This reflects poorly on both AUSTRAC and the parliament, which have delivered increased expenses without tangible improvements to our AML/CTF framework.
Elizur, as an accountant the compliance is enormous and the change in interpretation is debilitating. The penalty of social shaming is enormous for the practitioner.Also it erodes trust between the two parties, something which underlies the relationship.

I was driving through Mossvale a couple of hours ago. As I was slowing to stop at the lights, I noticed half a dozen goobers standing on the footpath holding placards. Then I noticed the black and white monkey scarves around their necks.
These retards were protesting the “genocide” in Gaza, of course.
I told them to eat a bag of dicks.
Today’s ‘genocide’ doesn’t appear as productive as it used to be. Obviously the perpetrators have either let their work ethic drop, or the Hi-Viz Bde have culled (no pun intended) output. Either way, I’d be a tad embarrassed if I were them.

“Sliante’ to all you mob.
Reading George Victor’s excellent book on Pearl Harbor – rubbishing some of the more extreme of the conspiracy myths.
Seems the Dutch “Black Chamber ” in the Netherlands East Indies – now Indonesia – were reading the Japanese codes as early as 1935..”
I have not read that book, but I recall a documentary I saw about 20 years ago, I think it was called simply, Pearl Harbour.
An Australian Navy Leut. exchange officer at the time was interviewed. He worked for RAN Intell and was posted in San Diego, where the USN Intel HQ was located.
He stated that the USN knew an attack on Pearl Harbour was imminent by Nov 1941. (The attack was originally planned for Nov 30, but due to maintenance issues, had to be postponed to Dec 7).
He was asked why little to no action was taken by the US to ameliorate the damage from an attack, eg ships in harbour and aircraft lined up close together.
He said he could not answer that, but that he had advised Canberra of the attack in early Nov 1941.
He added, “if an Australian Leut knew of the impending attack, it is beyond reason to think that the US President did not know.
As history shows, General Short, (USAAF) and Admiral Kimmel, (USN), were scapegoated for the losses on Dec 7.
The US has a grand tradition of vindictiveness and sacrificing its own defence personnel for political purposes. It is about to happen again in Syria.
Mind you, there’s a few who deserve a position in front of their own men. Milley and Lindeman just for starters. And there’s quite a few who have imposed the Woke culture on the armed forces, to its detriment.

Apparently First Nayshuns cryptanalysts broke the code between the Sirius and the Admiralty just three days before the Not-the-First-Fleet arrived, but the Nayshunal Navy’s only available capital ship, the aging battle cruiser Wunkanoo, was in drydock after a collision with a dugong. The rest, as they say, is yet-to-be-fabricated history.

Trouble a the mill, Herald Sun:
Jayson Gillham is a passable pianist, good at some not so much at other pieces but that is besides the point. Still doesn’t give him any rights to offer his politics on stage.
He can do as he pleases privately or in interviews, who cares?
If I hire a carpenter or go to a concert, I pay my money to see or hear them perform, not to harangue me with their political views.
Huge machine, look at the size of it. There could be bigger, different tillers but it’s big enough to impress me.
The farmer says;

“Tilling in a drought killed, grazed cover crop. Northern Mallee region of South Australia.
14m wide, 12 km/hr using 3.1 l/ha.
Will use a rod weeder over summer then grow winter wheat on the low ground and cereal rye on the ridge.
Objective is to texture the surface so it doesn’t blow, mix in the sheep and cattle manure, level the surface and control weeds.
Ground was a perennial native grass pasture before the cover crop so the soil is sticky. This will go back to pasture after the cash crop.”
I’d like to see those ploughshares beaten back into swords. Probably get a couple of APCs out of it.

The gold foundation plaque of Darius the Great (550-486 BC) is a trilingual inscription in Old Persian, Elamite, and Akkadian.
The inscription, known as the DPh inscription, describes Darius’s empire and is written as follows:
Darius the great king, king of kings, king of countries
Son of Hystaspes, an Achaemenid
This is the kingdom which I hold, from the Sacae who are beyond Sogdia to Kush, and from Sind to Lydia
What Ahuramazda, the greatest of gods, bestowed upon me
May Ahuramazda protect me and my royal house
Gold foundation plaque of Darius the Great. Decades ago, 2 gold/2 silver plaques were found during excavations of Apadana Palace at #Persepolis-#Iran. They were buried intentionally in stone boxes along with coins as a time capsule from Ancient #Persia.
They’re currently in the National Museum of Ancient #Persia in #Tehran.
Would just love to see this precious relic but missed opportunities to go to Iran. We once drove through Turkey following the footsteps of Alexander the Great in his epic conquest. Had Arrian and Plutarch in my hands. But we stopped close to the Syrian border. He went on and we turned back.such an experience. But will never see the inner sanctum of the Persian Empire now.
Seeing that Iran wants to impose on the world a dogma that Islam has been here forever, this piece of history is in great danger.
Why?
Because it is proof that Islam has not been here forever.
That’s just magical. Lucky to have survived at all.

Kevin Roberts: Project 2025 is coming
**Summary:** In the interview on UnHerd, Kevin Roberts, president of the Heritage Foundation, discusses “Project 2025,” a comprehensive conservative initiative aimed at reshaping American governance and institutions. He emphasizes the urgency for conservatives to adopt aggressive tactics to reclaim control over institutions that he believes have been co-opted by the left. Roberts expresses a desire to dismantle certain institutions, such as the Department of Education and elite universities like Harvard, to realign them with conservative values. He argues for significant reforms in the Pentagon and FBI, insisting on prioritizing American interests in foreign policy while also critiquing the current leadership of these institutions. Ultimately, Roberts envisions a revitalization of the American dream rooted in a new conservative movement that distances itself from traditional, more complacent conservatism. **Key Points by Section:** 1. **Introduction (0:00)** – Kevin Roberts introduces Project 2025 and its impact on the conservative movement and upcoming Trump administration. 2. **The truth about Project 2025 (1:30)** – Project 2025 is described as a detailed policy and personnel database aimed at ending fractiousness within the conservative movement. – Over 110 organizations collaborated, leading to an overwhelming response with 20,000 applications for roles in government. 3. **How is it conservative to burn down institutions? (6:00)** – Roberts argues for a proactive conservatism that addresses the left’s co-opting of institutions, advocating for “controlled burns” to regenerate them. – Emphasizes that he loves institutions but calls for their renewal rather than preservation at all costs. 4. **Should US universities like Harvard be ‘destroyed’? (8:45)** – Harvard and other Ivy League schools are critiqued for perpetuating a “woke mind virus.” – Suggests seizing their endowments if they continue to rely on government funding while undermining conservative values. 5. **“I want to tear out the US Department of Education root and branch” (14:50)** – Advocates for dismantling the Department of Education due to poor educational outcomes since its establishment. – Proposes that state governments take over educational responsibilities. 6. **Is Heritage Foundation President Kevin Roberts a revolutionary? (18:40)** – Roberts identifies himself as part of a new conservative movement that seeks to refound institutions rather than merely reform them. – Emphasizes a peaceful yet firm approach to reclaiming governmental power. 7. **Should the Pentagon and the FBI be reformed? (22:12)** – Argues that both agencies need significant reform due to leadership failures. – Advocates for focusing on future threats rather than outdated military strategies. 8. **Donald Trump and the new conservative foreign policy (25:30)** – Roberts rejects the label of isolationism for the Trump administration; he advocates for prioritizing American interests while encouraging European allies to take more military responsibility. – Critiques European nations for not sufficiently contributing to their own defense while relying on the U.S. In summary, Roberts presents a vision for a new, more assertive conservative approach that challenges established institutions and aligns governance with conservative principles as the starting point for Project 2025.

Just Britain? Hardly.
Confiscate the remuneration and taxpayer funded pensions of everyone responsible, politicians, their advisers, the senior (SES and above equivalent).
Use the money to fund repatriation to countries of origin.
So how are they going to fix this “Failed Experiment?”
How do they fix the Grooming Gang victims?
How do they bring back to life the British citizens murdered by their invaders?
How do they get back the Trillions of pounds/dollars/marks/francs thrown at the invaders in an attempt to pay the Danegeld.
Heads on Pikes Time.
Thanks to this, covid and all the other failures by governments, HOP time could result in no politicians or senior public servants.
I don’t see a downside so far.

@RealMacReport
Georgia (bordering Russia) is on my mind.
On 26 October the Georgian people re- elected the Georgia Dream party to government.
‘Making matters worse, the Georgia people voted to support a referendum that requires any political activist group to make the source of their funding from foreign government a matter of public record. Georgia’s opposition political parties will now have to reveal if they get more than 20% of their activist funding from the USA (they do). This type of transparency makes a color revolution more difficult. Hence, the EU and USA are very angry.
According to the process, Georgia’s Prime Minister Irakli Garibashvili does not want expanded war with Russia. Therefore, just like Viktor Orban (Hungary), the prime minister of Georgia was targeted for removal and replacement with a pro-war leader.
Yes, if you want to have a Foreign Agent Registration Act in a nation where the United States is the foreign actor, then you must be a Kremlin stooge. So goes the argument. It would be a lot more difficult for the U.S. to meddle in foreign countries if the people receiving the money from the U.S. had to disclose it to their citizens.’
Election interference?
– Senior lawmakers from Germany, France, Poland, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Sweden, Finland came to Georgia to instigate the opposition to contest the election results.
– The deeply divided societies between the EU and Russia are forced to choose between “us” and “them”, and they must choose “correctly”.
– The Georgian government is not even “pro-Russian”, they merely do not want to be used as a pawn by becoming a frontline against Russia (like Ukraine).
– Imagine the uproar if Russian or Chinese officials would show up in the capital of other countries to contest their election results – with such an obvious bias. What are the rules of election interference?

Funny that, community expectations when most in the community couldn’t give a rats about alcopops. I used to be partial to Dark & Stromy’s at this time of year with the humidity & storms but can’t justify the price.
However with other community expectations say, when it comes to crime, sentencing, stopping ratbags intimidating people/interfering with transport, na too hard.
I would suggest – if they are suddenly so keen on policing ‘communidity expectayshuns’ that they have a referendum which is binding on Parliament.
Except we’ve seen how that works after the effort to enshrine race based favoritism has been a flop.

Well, actually…
“Pakistan” is not an ethnicity, it’s a nation state, with over a dozen major ethnicities making up its population, not all of whom get along with each other. The word itself was derived from the first letters of the three multi-ethnic geographical regions that were to constitute the new nation – Punjab, Afghania & Kashmir.
Telling someone to go back to their nation state of origin, Pakistan in this instance, is not necessarily an insulting reference to that person’s ethnicity, as it wasn’t when Hanson told another parliamentarian to “go back to New Zealand.”
This is not “splitting hairs”, it could be consequential in Hanson’s appeal, upon which more than this case alone turns.
Stewart’s decision was flawed and clouded in bias. He’s got an adult son who is the posterchild (No pun intended) of trans issues NSW and his opening speech to the FC was full of platitudes on colonialism, gender and lefty clauses. I could only imagine his private conversations and tut tutting about Pauline.
Seems Pauline’s appeal seems to have more of a coherent strategy that her defence at the original hearing. Good luck to her but I think ultimately this will end up in the High Court. The FC will probably back their own.
Unless there was more to the tweet that I’m unaware of, I’m struggling to understand exactly which word/s were determined as insulting or derogatory. Where are the adjectives describing that state of origin, the perceived reason for her journey, or the manner of her journey?
The phrase has been deemed to be racist.
But where is the reference to Faruqi’s ethnicity or race?
If an Anglo- Australian told a whinging Pom to “go back to Blighty” is it racist?
The charge of racism, which rightly carries opprobrium, is being used as a legal cudgel to beat up anyone who deviates from what the ruling caste considers to be acceptable speech.
Words can change their meaning dependent upon context. It would seem to me that the phrase ‘go back to’ has been removed from the tweet and placed in a context of the court’s choosing. Did the court infer intent – is ‘intent’ part of the legislation?
I am deeply, deeply offended by Farqui’s terrible insult and slur on our dear departed Queen Elizabeth the Second, Head of the Australian State to which Farqui has sworn allegiance.
I very much would like this woman to return to a country more to her liking rather than accept the benefits granted to her by Queen Elizabeth’s Australian Senate. This desire I have is due to Farqui’s views and has nothing to do with her ethnicity, whatever that might be.
Who do I sue?

Thanks for the kind offers, but Elsie is mine.
At least until late Jan/early February. She’s really no bother ( cough – cat fur – cough).
As for the brush, I’ve got one but the matting happened suddenly over nearly a week and is located only above her rump. By the time I noticed her chewing on the damn things it had (cough) gotten to the point of her not allowing me within brushing distance.
Her fur is incredibly fine – if I could collect it I’d get $500K per bale. It’d make the best quality (cough cough) Merino look like steel wool. I’ve had long haired cats before but Elsie is streets ahead in fineness, strength, and ability to find it’s way up nostrils.
LOL the next door neighbours cat has taken a shine to me, not a problem because cats don’t bother me. Every time I’m out front I hear the meow then my legs are being attacked by rubs. She usually gets a scratch for her troubles so I don’t think I’m helping 🙂
My mrs however hates cats with a passion. Funny if both of us are outside the cat will make a beeline straight to her as if it knows she doesn’t like them.
I think cats have succeeded in their domestication of humans apart from one or two holdouts.
Mum used to loathe cats, and my two older sisters were the same. In fact I’m the only one who likes them. They all like dogs but only one has a dog – which is a nasty little whining rat dog – not a real dog at all – just a rat that was the subject of a failed radiological experiment. I’ve pointed this out to Sister sister on multiple occasions and warned her that the damn thing would wake her up one night, tearing at her jugular, but no – she won’t hear a word of it.
The king of Buffoons, Boris Johnson, has just given an interview on the Daily Telegraph UK podcast.
The inane ex PM just cannot help but put his foot into his sizeable mouth.
Saying the silent part, out loud, yet again, Boris stated:
“We are in a proxy war with Russia.”
He went on to declare that:
“The UK should send “Peacekeeping” troops to Ukraine” and
“Ukraine is not getting enough weapons, they should get everything (?) they need.”
Maybe Russia or China could send some weapons, because everyone in Europe, plus the US, have nothing more to give.
Continuing on the buffoon theme, ‘elensky has relocated the Rada, to a top secret Fuehrerbunker, in an attempt to avoid some of those Russian weapons, ……, that obviously don’t work.
Putin’s speech last week, has obviously caused great dismay to the cocaine snorting dolt in Kiev. Putin called him a usurper.
Clearly, Putin doesn’t understand that he HAD to postpone elections, indefinitely, to preserve democracy in Ukraine.
Just as he had to shut down radio and TV outlets, unfavourable to him and gaol political opponents, to protect free speech.
He IS a great leader, with a profound knowledge of military matters.
Just look at Kursk.
No idea of the accuracy of this. But loading it for those interested.
“Nuclear bombs now redundant, Russia’s new, Mach 10 kinetic weapon is far more deadly”
Russia’s new deadly Hazelnut missile takes out an underground bunker at Dnipro used by NATO to assemble rockets fired into Russia. Cairns News received intel yesterday that Trump had invited the head of NATO to Mar-a-lago in Florida to discuss a ceasefire in Ukraine
From Cossack Colonel Yuri Komonyski
https://i0.wp.com/cairnsnews.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/yuri.webp2_.webp?resize=572%2C572&ssl=1
The “Hazelnut” is a non-nuclear solid-fuel hypersonic medium range ballistic missile which travels at Mach 10-11, (2.5-3 klms/second) delivering a 50kt punch with a strike range of 5000 klm. Reportedly launched from Astrakhan it took less than 5 minutes to hit Yuzhmash (Dnipro) located 800 klm’s away.
It has a starting weight of 40-50 tons and is capable of delivering 4 separate combat units and can be potentially equipped with 4 individual thermonuclear warheads each with a capacity of 150-300 kt’s. Each missile may contain 3-6 warheads each with individual guidance accurate to within 50 metres.
These missiles are impossible to intercept and can hit anything in Europe, if they want to play catch. The weapon, based on the RD-20 has detachable warheads with eight kinetic munitions weighing 350-500 kg each that struck Yuzhmash (Dnipro). All of the buildings and bunkers were vaporised. It punched through 10’s of metres of concrete destroying subsurface workshops which were originally designed and built by the soviets to withstand a nuclear attack. Everybody needs to go back to the drawing board. Kinetic munitions are near impossible to counter.
The weapon is the equivalent of a nuclear device that pulverises the target yet does not cause a fireball or leave dangerous radiation. This missile can take out every European facility in minutes and it cannot be stopped. Local residents are reporting that the Yuzhmash is gone, nothing but dust remains.
Under the soviets Yuzhmash once employed 10,000 workers. Most of the Yuzhmash facility existed underground comprising at least 5 stories, 3 of them 6 metres high. This is where the unholy NATO command was helping the Ukro’s assemble short-range ballistic (500 to 1500 klm) missiles from NATO supplied equipment and parts, which they pretend to pass off as Ukrainian.
There was no big blast or explosion, there was a huge flash and subsequent elements striking targets. The huge bang was followed by what appeared to many to be an earthquake and then total silence, the entire facility was turned to dust. While this was just a conventional weapon, the impact was so powerful that buildings for several klm’s shook and suffered damage. Because the facility was underground, all the pipes for the water supply in the city have been destroyed. The Hazelnut system is to be integrated into the Russian military, mass production is to commence.
The RF estimates that the strike killed at least 50 senior NATO staffers that were hidden below ground. These Horde members were responsible for programming and controlling the targeting of the long-range missiles being provided to the Ukro’s by NATO. This intel was gleaned from Ukro communications intercepts. Approximately 1500 security personnel were based there and at least 200 military personnel were liquidated by the strike.
Bunkers are now rendered ineffective, leaving the Wests best hope in negotiations with Russia. The Ukro’s and their unholy NATO brethren assumed they were unassailable in this subsurface bunker. This was a warning against further NATO / US escalation. A Russian ICBM would take approximately 40 minutes to reach a US target. These missiles can strike any European country, estimated flight times: UK – 19 minutes, Poland – 8 minutes, Belgium – 14 minutes, Germany – 11 minutes. Russia clearly and repeatedly warned NATO about firing NATO missiles at Russia.
The US has confirmed that Ukraine can strike Russia using US ATACMS, launched and controlled by the unholy NATO. NATO is considering pre-emptive strikes to take place inside of Russia. The UK and France are considering deploying troops into Ukraine if Trump reduces Ukro support. UK long range missiles are also being fired into Russia, which has declared that the UK is now directly involved in a war.
France has given authorisation to use SCALP missiles to strike Russia. Russia is entitled to use weapons against military facilities of countries that allow their weapons to be used against Russia, ie., US, UK, France. In lockstep the NATO Horde’s puppets Greece, Spain, and Italy are closing their embassies in Kiev. German Chancellor Scholz quickly called on the unholy alliance to seek de-escalation, stating Berlin will not supply Kiev with long-range Taurus missiles, but failed to comment on his secret plan in the event of war with Russia. US / EU propaganda outlets are discussing returning Ukraine’s nuclear status or deploying Western nuclear weapons on its territory, right now. Russia is on full nuclear alert as is the US. Biden is too incompetent to have control over launch codes.
Since the Ukro war began around 1.3 million Ukrainians are dead many more wounded. The RF is forecasting the east of Ukraine will be reincorporate into Russia, the central portion will have a pro-Russian government, and the residual will be “disputed territories” whose fate can be settled by Poland, Hungary, and Romania. The US is using Taiwan to provoke a crisis in the region while NATO continues pumping strike weapons banned by the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty into Asia hoping to provoke China.
Be wary of Cairns News Vicki, some serious tinfoil hat sh&% there, about the only things they are worth looking at is that like the Noticer they don’t care about being sued so some of the juicy stuff the MSM won’t go near with our politicians they will.
I believe the above may have come from Russia Today or one of the Kremlin mouthpieces. Not discounting the effects of the new weapon but not out of character for eastern blocks, they do love their strategic rocket forces.
Reports about this seem to be unsettled:

‘Absolutely gutted’: Cases dropped against soldiers over notorious war crimes allegationsBy Nick McKenzieNovember 30, 2024 — 2.00am
The ex-soldier suspected of committing one of the most notorious alleged war crimes involving Australian special forces in Afghanistan will never face justice after an elite investigative agency concluded its case was too weak to put before a jury.
The Office of the Special Investigator (OSI) has told witnesses it will not charge the former Special Air Service Regiment sergeant suspected of brutally murdering an injured and unarmed Afghan farmer.
It is a decision that has shattered the Australian army medic who exposed the alleged crime and agreed to testify against the accused man.
It also highlights the failure of the OSI to achieve results almost four years after it was created by the Morrison government to investigate the Brereton inquiry’s findings that at least 39 Afghans may have been executed by about two dozen special forces soldiers.
Since its formation in early 2021, the OSI has charged only one ex-SAS soldier.
In November, the OSI advised witnesses assisting it in two separate major war crimes investigations that neither would proceed to prosecution based on internal legal advice. Witnesses had agreed to participate in the process often at great personal and professional cost.
So much certainty here.
Not just murdered, but ‘brutally’. Not that the journalist was trying to curate the (somewhat fuzzy) facts and mislead the readers.
The inference being …?
[All emphases mine].
The OSI made a decision not to proceed. That is facing justice.
Exactly right, dopey. Another reason for the woke left to hate Mark Weinberg, I suppose; but any reasonable person would trust his judgment.
I guess it is one thing to encourage whistle blowers but they also have to be sure of their man.
He would have known a soldier could go to jail for years if his accusation had got up.
He might be looking over his shoulder for the rest of his life now. I don’t know if I’d want to p1ss off a SAS trooper without good cause.
I assume those soldiers found guilty by the media will be advising their lawyers accordingly.
If we didn’t have a lengthy list of reasons to despise that craven Morrison, this and covid are enough by themselves.
Time a few journalists faced justice.
Cut to it directly – Nick McKenzie is a useless turd. Nothing he writes says is believable.

There are certainly indicators that US culture has undergone a fundamental change since the election.
No pussy hats, no antifa, no arrogant MSM creeps announcing that they ‘control’ the political and social discourse.
My very favourite indicator is also a negative – no fashion designers announcing that they refuse to accept “bimbo” Melina as a customer – um. Ignoring the reality that Melina never wears Met Gala or Hollywood tartwear. Perhaps the accellerating crash of their customer base will see them undertaking the walk of tears to Mar-a-Largo begging for work.
Perhaps the most telling indicator is the inability of the MSM to generate insane TDS based false campaigns. It is entirely reasonable to predict that in future the only sites peddling baseless anti-Trump lies will be The View and ABC Australia. Being immune from market forces Sales and Furgeson will continue screaming their outrage over their irrelevance. Their fully owned clown William’s embarrasing Canuteish rant against social media is adequate evidence that they have no intention of ever reflecting Australia’s cultural and political beliefs.

Wonderful.
Oz is, after all, fundamentally dependant on agriculture and mining in today’s world. The only things left that we produce in any meaningful amount. Otherwise, we are a service economy – dutiful servants (and consumers) of the rest of the world and what it produces.
Yet, in an epic example of self destruction, our eco-fanatics are even trying to destroy what is left that we produce.
The question to ask them is how many people would starve if we stopped producing food, and do these ecoworriers give a damn?

I don’t see any evidence of them leaving southern areas.
Wandered over to the SpaceX website to see what they’re doing.
This afternoon our time they’re launching two rockets in the space of 10 minutes, one from Florida and the other from California. Amazing.
The first one is being live broadcasted but not the second, which interestingly is launching one or more spy satellites plus 20 Starlink ones as well. Which is a fine way to get the most out of a rocket launch. I wonder how much they charged the Pentagon for this?
What would demonstrate coming to the table in good faith? If Zelensky is offering territorial concessions for NATO membership, would that be considered good faith by Putin? No. Putin has outlined his least acceptable offer, if Trump offers less he’s already baked in that response given the outline.
I understand NATO membership is off the table.
That wouldn’t be coming to the table in good faith.

You took my turn of phrase too literally.
They have 60 days, obviously.
Why would they abandon areas that could not be taken by force?
Pagers.
The news overnight suggests otherwise.
I think making it clear what your floor is is conducive to good faith negotiations.
I very much doubt Putin would tolerate NATO on Russian borders. Remember that Russ has been attacked and has attacked from the West too many times to be happy with that coalition sitting on her front lawn.
Mind you, far too many of the nations on Russia’s western borders have had Russian troops murdering and raping their way across THEIR borders to be happy about any territorial losses to them.
I’d like to see a coalition of the intermediate states – sort of a Mittel Europa/Southern Europe excluding Germany, from the Baltic Sea to the Adriatic and the Black Sea.
It would be strong enough to resist Russia and NATO if needs be.
Gee, I hope so.
Yet another Goose Morristeen clusterfork.
I don’t think the ceasefire agreement in Lebanon will last long. The Hezbies have been breaking it over and over and Israel has been returning fire as they are allowed to do. But which has the Lebs crying Israel Bad.
On the other hand the fun in Syria right now might change things, since the Syrian Army is anemic and has been relying on Hezbie fighters to keep the Sunnis out. So there’s incentive for Hezbollah to switch fronts from the south to the north, if they can.

Oh so it’s not Beethoven and Brahms anymore? It’s a long long time since I’ve listened to MSO I must admit. Hiroyuki Iwaki was conductor back then.
Probably Wagner given the proclivities of at least one of the orchestra musos.
Ahem, bons – it is Melania, thanks very much. One of the designers whose creations Melania did wear, was Posh Spice, aka Victoria Beckham.

From my reading of the motion, isn’t it not only a no confidence motion in Trudeau, but also a confidence motion in Jagmeet Singh to be his replacement as prime minister?
Wouldn’t Mary Simon just immediately appoint Singh as PM on reading this if its passes? That it wouldn’t necessarily trigger an election – it would be Singh’s decision as to whether or not to call one?
Scene from the excellent new Taylor Sheridan series, Landman, starring Billy Bob Thornton, where Billy Bob rips the bejesus out of renewables talking to a woke skank:

“Numbers” does his block about this on Michael Smith’s blog, resorting to his usual ad hominem attack on Thornton and then he ignorantly conflates “climate change” with the methods of producing and disseminating energy:

What a disgusting, disgraceful bunch of weak kneed losers they are. NFW will they get my vote. Dutton is a UNiparty puppet and deserves nothing but my loathing.
So far and you may be able to inform me who exactly these people are likely to be.
The CO always has ultimate responsibility (blame) in grounding/sinking/collision cases because he or she authorises the Officer Of the Watch to drive the ship.
If OOW is incompetent then why were they not removed?
Having said that a lot of court-martials of the CO do result in them being exonerated because the OOW was doing everything right and the accident occurred because of external factors beyond everyone’s control.
In the news conference, one of Chief of Navy or Minister of Defence said something along the lines of “Muscle memory should have kicked in and so-and-so reached over to check that “George” was off. That didn’t happen”
In that case, the Captain hasn’t ordered enough drills. That should have been on a checklist that had been run multiple times. That’s why we do drills – so ALL the bases are touched, and everyone knows what they’re doing.
Thanks.

Texas and 10 other US States have pressed the radioactive Antitrust legal button and filed against BlackRock, Vanguard and State Street.

The decreased supply of coal, in turn increased the cost of electricity to consumers. It was fundamentally anti-competitive behaviour. These three companies together have $26 Trillion dollars of assets under management. That’s only one trillion smaller than the entire US GDP.

I felt the same about protecting our little Currawong mum on the nest from the weather. She’d chosen to nest in a fairly unshaded area close to our verandah and was open to rain and sun. I used to spray her with a mist when it was stinking hot, but in the rain she was on her own, and valiant with spreading her wings to protect her chicks.
Life goes on, and it is wonderful to behold.

Appetite for disruption: We’ve got to talk about Lidia ThorpeThe independent senator’s week of agitation ended with her being booted from a Senate fed up with her antics. Can she come back?
By James Massola
November 30, 2024
Listen to this article
6 min
Even on her way out of Melbourne’s Tullamarine Airport on Thursday night, Lidia Thorpe was still drawing attention to herself.
While the rest of the Senate sat late into the night in Canberra on Thursday, Thorpe had arrived on the Qantas shuttle to Melbourne at about 7.25pm.
As she made her way through the crowds in the terminal, the independent senator passed a member of the Australian Federal Police and then snapped.
According to a witness, Thorpe, still wearing her “Blackfullas Palestinians” tank top, turned to the officer and demanded to know if he was ready to use the weapon.
“A machine gun at the airport? For f—’s sake!” she shouted, and kept walking.
The officer said nothing (the AFP’s Counter-terrorist First Response team carries short-barrelled rifles at nine major airports around Australia, not machine guns). Passersby studied their feet, not sure what to make of the incident.
Before the flight to Melbourne, Thorpe had been spotted enjoying a drink with three companions in the Qantas Chairman’s Lounge in Canberra – one of the many perks of office available to all members of federal parliament – after spending hours on the lawn outside parliament at a rally denouncing what she called “colonial HQ”.
The AFP declined to comment about the incident. A spokesman for Melbourne Airport said no incident had been logged. Thorpe was contacted for comment.
No one protects standards or the values of the West: the liars and filth are up each other’s arse and the LNP are gutless chipmunks. So when a POS like thorpie or the muzzie hags comes along no one is going to stop the skanks from shitting all over our society. All that needs to happen is the next time thorpie opens her gob some one smashes her in the chops and then arrests the bitch. End of story.
That’s what the whole episode was about. Everything she does is to make herself the centre of attention.
I’ve thought a 5.56mm in an airport overkill for a while, a la Lindt Cafe they can cause collateral damage. Seen plenty of guns in airports overseas, mostly 9mm MP5 type though. Only ones that seem to carry assault rifles like AK47’s seem to be basket cases of countries.
Thorpe is a rolled gold idiot though. What Crossie said.
We’ve seen a few ballistic vests go missing last year, so perhaps 7.62 is more appropriate?
🙂

BEN HARVEY: Albanese’s choice to champion cause of the Bali Nine drug dealers is proof he’s not a good leader
After 20 years of mediocrity and confusion, Australian government is plumbing surprising new depths under this strange little peanut.
Aided and abetted by the SFL’s.
Mediocre would be a big step up for the useless f***s
The Higgins equivalents in the Labor machine must have convinced the peanut that there is a deep residual sympathy in the Australian voting population for the remnants of this gang of drug smuggling simpletons.Evidence for this sympathy has been well hidden for many, many years.
Has Thorpe got BPD?
She’s certainly showing all the signs.
Black Pig Disorder?
Not BPD, no sustained depression. Probably no psychopathology. She is behaving like an asshole because there haven’t been any consequences.
What?
Enjoying colonial benefits for free?
Oh, Lidia.
I remember this day well. The TRUE face of Australia’s Govt. Let’s not forget, our Scummo stood by silent funding Andrews during covid while his black uniform thugs pulled this shyte. Dutton (ex-cop)was Minister for Home Affairs , no doubt cheering on; ” well done fellas! “.

The tropical air coming down to Melb is due to a Low right over Deni.
Thorpe is the greatest hypocrite Australia has ever known. Had her “Blackfullas Palestinians” staged a “kinetic protest” in the terminal she would be the first to demand that the AFP protect her with everything they had. She has such contempt for all of us but has no qualms in taking our money in the form of senatorial pay and benefits. I hope I live long enough to see her come up against poet justice.
Ah duh, poetic justice. Should proof read before tapping on post comment.
I’ll think of Lydia next time I queue up for the Palestinian contribution to aviation – aka security screening.
The guns have stocks you know. One rammed into the back of her head would be enough to answer her question.
Woes deepen for KTM as money problems are laid bare
“Earlier this year KTM cited a change in demands from key markets and the recession in Germany as reasons for its declining financial health.”
Felt a bit sorry for Jack getting punted from KTM even though he falls off – and falls off the pace – too often. It’s beginning to look like a masterstroke, and I should be feeling sorry for Bastianini.
In all seriousness, if Lidia Thorpe feels so disenfranchised in this wide brown land she should piss off back to the land of her ancestors.
Ireland.
What have the Irish done to deserve HER back?
Plenty of brown Irishmen about. They weren’t too fussy back in the day.
Many oirish bimbos have jet black hair (which contrasts magnificently with their alabaster skin) due to the Spaniards who washed up there many moons ago after a certain unfortunate regrettable naval incident.
No colonisation, Lidia would not exist.
Reflecting on last week’s Senate Hansard, I examined the upcoming expansion of the AML/CTF regime to include lawyers, accountants, real estate agents, precious stone dealers, and trust and company service providers. This initiative stems from a 2015 Financial Action Task Force (FATF) report highlighting shortcomings in Australia’s AML/CTF framework.
The Explanatory Memorandum of the mendments projects annual costs of $1.88 billion, which businesses will inevitably pass on to individuals. The driving force behind this regulation appears to be the risk of “grey-listing,” with the government estimating potential economic and reputational damages to Australia of up to $10.7 billion over the next decade. This raises questions about what has been done since 2015 to address these issues—and why the rush now, just before Christmas 2024.
AUSTRAC’s 2014-15 Annual Report noted that the FATF recognised Australia’s mature AML/CTF regime but recommended improvements. However, over the past nine years, progress has been limited. AUSTRAC reports in 2016 show efforts focused on global initiatives, such as supporting other nations’ AML/CTF programs and contributing to FATF projects. Meanwhile, issues critical for Australia to be compliant like beneficial ownership rules (Trusts) remain unresolved, leaving Australia either “Non-Compliant” or “Partially Compliant” in key areas (Mutual Evaluation attributes R24 and R25).
For nearly a decade, AUSTRAC has seemingly accepted the risk of grey-listing, which could cost Australia $10.7 billion, while prioritising international contributions. Adding to the concern, a Henry VIII clause in the new legislation allows future amendments by legislative instrument, suggesting uncertainty about its adequacy.
Ultimately, Australians face $1.88 billion in annual costs for legislation that may still be unfit for purpose. This reflects poorly on both AUSTRAC and the parliament, which have delivered increased expenses without tangible improvements to our AML/CTF framework.
Elizur, as an accountant the compliance is enormous and the change in interpretation is debilitating. The penalty of social shaming is enormous for the practitioner.Also it erodes trust between the two parties, something which underlies the relationship.
It’s incredible when you look at those numbers again. Same thing happened here.
More on the Kiwi Naval ship run aground. If this commentator is right then the Captain should be screwed even if not on the bridge…

I was driving through Mossvale a couple of hours ago. As I was slowing to stop at the lights, I noticed half a dozen goobers standing on the footpath holding placards. Then I noticed the black and white monkey scarves around their necks.
These retards were protesting the “genocide” in Gaza, of course.
I told them to eat a bag of dicks.
Today’s ‘genocide’ doesn’t appear as productive as it used to be. Obviously the perpetrators have either let their work ethic drop, or the Hi-Viz Bde have culled (no pun intended) output. Either way, I’d be a tad embarrassed if I were them.
To use the Gimp’s favourite line, they were seriously “low energy”.
What really peed me off was that they were out in a lovely country area. Keep the protesting ‘tards in the cities.
