Now do NK troops in Ukraine.
Lost about 3000 so far. Which makes sense since they are not trained against modern warfare styles. Kim doesn’t care of course, he just wants the money and the stuff.
Putin’s problem is labour shortages driving wages, with spiking inflation and interest rates. The first batch of NORKs was a test run, larger intakes pending? Kim is still using fighter aircraft that would be target practice. Even in Crysis NORKS are an easy kill.? South Korea is becoming a top tier military hardware source so Kim is desperate for new bang bangs.
Lol.
The greatest wealth transfer in Victorian history. Hundreds of Billion$ stolen in plain sight from the savings and earnings of Victorians into the pockets of the CFMEU and assorted thug unions, corrupt politicians and their maaaates, more billions throughout all levels of the ruinables scams , into union corrupted construction outfits and the union governed industrial superannuation funds.
The debt is several generations deep. I daresay, insurmountable
And Labor STILL in Govt and polling 37% primary, tied with the SFL’s as per Christmas day.
That’s how sick Sicktoria is.
You’d have to be the only person on the planet who doubts Norks are fighting for the Russians against Ukraine.

10 Events from 2024 They Don’t Want You to Remember
I think Bronwyn Bishop said it best tonight on Sky….
Well Danica, the Greens are truly a vile party, they really are.
Well said Bronwyn, and this needs to be hammered home.
Any Party that numbered Lidia Thorpe amongst it’s members…
Having seen it up close, I can vouch for that. BIRM. Horrible, spoilt, feral people.
Any Party that numbered Lidia Thorpe amongst it’s members…
Thorpe, the attention seeker, has always been the least offensive of the lot. Bandt and Fatso Faruqi are a hundred times worse than Thorpe.
We’d have to agree to disagree on that one, Cassie. Thorpe strikes me as the ultimate hypocrite, with Fatso Faruqi running a close second.
Thorpe would have trolled the Greens just to get a senate sinecure. Yeah nah I agree with Cassie.

The “DPRK” has been busy with “offshore adventures” for quite a while.
They came to the notice of some people back in the heyday of Idi Amin. He has a regiment of “Hork” troops as “advisors” / trainers, in the 1970s.
More “advisors” popped up as Mugabe was handed Rhodesia on a platter (Thank-you Malcolm Fraser and “Lord” Carrington). “Zimbabwe” is now,essentially” a Chinese colony.

I’ve been waiting for that one to come out in a video set.
A lot of hard work went into that.
Brilliantly researched and produced.
Interesting, I had read that you could count on one hand how many Jews were still living in Syria…
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7qVNqxO_hT0
In 1948 the Jewish population of Syria had been approx 30,000
Syria once had a thriving Jewish community, although subject to the whims of Muslim rulers and payment of the Jizya tax was compulsory. Thousands of Jews had left Syria in the early 1900s for economic reasons, moving to America and Argentina.
When Palestinians and left-wing Nazis say “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free” they really mean the Israelis will be killed or at least driven off their land.
Despite what governments and police here and overseas claim it is not a meaningless, innocuous chant.
It’s no coincidence that Alex Karp, CEO of Palantir, has a book coming down the pipe.

At this time it’s hard to find a coaching tree that betters Peter Thiel.
Most people appear to not understand that Israel’s neighbours have wanted to eradicate them not just since 1948 but for thousands of years prior to that.
I remember it well.
@robinmonotti
The religion of climate alarmism @AlexStarling77
“The 2009 story of “climategate” has been almost completely erased from the national consciousness. A reminder: the efforts of key players in the climate alarmist camp to produce data that supported the AGW (anthropogenic global warming) hypothesis were shown to be somewhat irregular. Computer code that was used to produce temperature models required the application of copious quantities of “fudge factors” to produce the temperature hockey sticks that were needed to scare the populace.
One of the entities that controls this narrative is the IPCC, the International Panel on Climate Change, a UN body. Through various working groups, this supranational religious order regularly publishes papal decrees that update the liturgy to be distributed to the masses by the priestly orders, such as the Behavioural Insights Team, aka the Nudge Unit. One of the fundamental tenets of this religion is that “one of the defining challenges of the 21st century [is] human-induced climate change”. Specifically, there is an irreversible “tipping point” of warming due to the anthropogenic influence of greenhouse gases (CO2, methane, etc.) being released into the atmosphere.
As I have written about previously, heretics who speak out against the priesthood’s wishes get quite rapidly closed down. In fact, it seems that the priesthood wishes to make such wrongspeak a criminal offence. To limit the chances of any questioning plebeian masses going off-piste, the UN works with popular search engines to ensure that top search results align with their orthodoxy. Thankfully, the flailings of the Monbiots and ludicrous talk of “global boiling” from old men in suits have provoked some modest pushback from certain quarters. The new head of the IPCC, Jim Skea, has struck a different tone from his predecessor: “The world won’t end if it warms by more than 1.5 degrees”. Such words are in marked contrast to recent claims about man-made climate catastrophes and fatally undermine the justification for our aggressive Net Zero policies.
But the underlying articles of faith remain, as yet, unchanged. Apparently, we must still “battle against climate change”. The “short-term focus should remain expanding renewable electricity to reduce emissions from fossil fuel electricity generation and from internal combustion engine vehicles”. Hmm. Forgive my scepticism about throwing perfectly functioning vehicles into landfills to be replaced by a completely new technology. A new technology with a supply chain based on raiding the earth’s crust for rare elements with an as-yet untested post-processing/reuse/recycling infrastructure.
It is high time that the heretics get to say their piece.
It is an article of faith for the IPCC that reducing CO2 (and other greenhouse gas) emissions can somehow effect a reversal of recent climate changes. This is a sacrament upon which rests the whole Net Zero edifice.
FALSE
Sub-sacraments are threefold.
Firstly, CO2 emissions have gone up materially over the last few hundred years.
TRUE
Secondly, this is primarily due to human activity since the industrial revolution.
FALSE
Thirdly, there is a direct causal link that these emissions have created most – if not all – global warming/boiling/climate change.
FALSE
These all have to be true to justify the breakneck pace of decarbonisation efforts.”
BUT THEY ARE SIMPLY NOT TRUE:

Not even President Trump will do that.

Alas, Mr. Chauvin’s principal criminal conviction is a Minnesota state conviction, & he’ll be languishing in the Minnesota hoosegow for decades to come.
For the power to pardon Mr. Chauvin is wielded by Governor Tim Walz.

The one thing that must be entirely eliminated from the workplace is DEI. It’s not just harming people economically, but, as some have pointed out in relation to cultural issues tied to visas, DEI contributes multiples more to cultural destruction.
100%.
Alex Karp (registered Democrat & vocal supporter of every DNC nominee since Gore) has called DEI a pagan religion.
Matt Walsh:
Why Derek Chauvin Deserves A New Trial (And Will Win It)
Every alleged piece of evidence indicating NK troops has been fake or unconvincing.
Just to put things into perspective, there are 85,000 H-B1 related visas offered each year.
The US workforce is around 160 million and 34% represents white males.
I don’t quite know the estimate caused by DEI displacement as well as limited advancement opportunities of white males. Let’s say, it’s 5% in total.
That would mean there could be up to 2.7 million white males adversely impacted by DEI polices either in recruitment or limited advancement due to skin color.
H-B1 needs to be fixed, but it’s nickles and dimes compared to the elephant in the room.
Name a few of the fake and the convincing ones.
…unless yr an automaton blindly following your programming without the slightest clue that your reactions and conclusions are predefined
H-B1 needs to be fixed, but it’s nickles and dimes compared to the elephant in the room.
100%.
This is what I mentioned earlier.
H1B’s are an issue and easily made less of a scam (for those who do scam them).
It’s all about fixing that border to start with.
Unconvincing?
Trans, you will always remain unconvincing.

As soon as Amazon can dump its drivers it will.
You can’t dump 10mill odd Americans on the scrap heap like that.
It needs to be phased in over a long period of time.
It will happen but the working poor need a level of protection because if you don’t, it’s counter productive and bad for society.
AI is coming for a lot more jobs than that in the US.
Color me convinced now, Trans.
About 110K were issued this year. And there are about 600K current holders.
cohenite, got a new year’s cute owl for us?
Or should I say uberhuman?
Some of the recent ones I’ve seen involved a suicide note, a ‘long distance massed attack’, a pic of a Russian from Siberia.
Primary source was Google search obviously.
It dwarfs the numbers impacted by DEI.
Dover, as a side issue, you appear to be going really hard against this visa program, yet you told us in the past that you lived in the US. Was there an HB-! visa involved?
Let me say that’s how I gained entry prior to a green card, which makes it a little hard for me to complain about others. How do you reconcile this aspect?
And if it is true, what would you say then? If there’s “convincing” evidence.
Should have Mankaded that bloke. It’s T20. No holds barred.
Can he pardon state crimes?
Was hoping 2025 might be the year “normal” people started to wake up to the psyops and fakery. Apparently not.
Go back and read the official story regarding the Floyd George incident. Utterly ridiculous and clap-trap.
Set off a desired chain of events, so job done.
What prison is Derek Chauvin housed in? Lob there and ask for a visit, LOL
Only governors and state parole boards can grant pardons for state crimes.
I doubt Chauvin qualifies for a federal pardon.
Lee,
He could appeal to the SCOTUS, but I doubt they would want to hear it. He has a legitimate claim that it’s a very harsh sentence, especially after the evidence that came out.
Showing your expertise in talking fancy technical and legal jive is more important to you than actual truth. OK, nice to know.
Some jobs will be replaced by AI, such as low- to middle-level programming particularly in the flick the switch field 🙂 , but since the advent of the Industrial Revolution, more jobs have been created, and human well-being has improved exponentially.
Initially, the Microsoft CEO suggested that AI would cause many job losses in his firm. Six months later, he revised that view and suggested that even more jobs would be created than those displaced, as it would allow employees to focus on tasks they didn’t have time for before, such as product improvement. It would also improve the quality of work.
Then, there’s this to consider: The workweek hasn’t been reduced in over 60 years. If AI improves efficiency, why shouldn’t the workweek be reduced to four days?
Technology has always worked for the betterment of humanity, and it should be viewed that way, not with fear.
Let’s have some fun.

I downloaded a biography on him a few years back but haven’t gotten around to reading it.
Interesting fellow. Came out of the Crete invasion having been defeated, but with a B+ for trying.
H1B visas was simply a way of making it clear that the base’s position on immigration was non-negotiable. That they weren’t joking and that they would not forgive bad news on that front.
Yet the “base’s position on immigration” has been ignored for years!
there either is … or there isn’t
the plural of opinion is not fact
Over the past few days, you’ve made comments that it’s a cultural hindrance. If you believe that then which is the bigger egg to fry in all this: the visa or DEI?
Trans, it’s new year’s eve. Try and give the trolling a rest for the evening. Go drink some more and go to bed. Resume trolling and the frantic multiple down and up ticks in the morn.
If I felt a need to deny it I’d be posting all those instances I’d just referred to. If they were being used I’d be surprised as I don’t think they’re experiencing manpower problems nor engaging in meat grinder with their infantry tactics. And using foreign troops would diminish the effectiveness of their operations. If they were going to use NK they’d be put in a secondary zone that freed up their own troops.

Bagging the ALPBC on New Years is a traditional as Auld Lang Syne.
So reassuring.
Well, actually, he does have a manpower problem in the sense that he would want to limit Russian casualties as much as possible for domestic consumption.
You know as much about their infantry tactics as anyone else outside of the Kremlin and the Russian military brass, so please stop with the insider knowledge.
But I ask again, since there’s very little free flow of information from the front, you have no real idea what’s going on other than your obvious bias. Even so, let’s discount the bias issue—why are you so concerned with dispelling this Nork thing? Putin would, quite obviously, be motivated to use outside troops as much as he can. It’s not as though he hasn’t been. Mr. 87%.
Mass immigration is one of the problems. H1B is one of the manifestations. DEI is one of its symptoms.
85,000 or 110,000 people annually is hardly going to cause commotion as much as DEI. DEI is most certainly not a symptom of the visa problem.
Are you for DEI because it sounds like you’re skirting over this problem.
Woke is dead — let’s make sure it never comes back
You don’t limit your casualties by making yourself operationally less capable. I have a reasonable idea of their infantry tactics because I’ve listened to interviews with foreign mercenaries that fought for Ukraine, seen drone footage of assaults, and so on.
As I said above: If I felt a need to deny it I’d be posting all those instances I’d just referred to.
Also, given the claim above that SK were concocting false flags about NK, I wonder if the claims of NK troops in Ukraine are connected. Wouldn’t surprise me since SK intelligence is implicated in Yoon’s plan.
For the coming inauguration:
Why do you want to narrowly focus on H1Bs and not mass immigration? The people that are critical of H1B also want to limit other avenues too. And yes DEI is most certainly a symptom of mass immigration post -1965. There is largely no DEI ‘problem’ without it.
Oh sure, I’m for severe limits on mass immigration but for DEI. That would make a lot of sense.

@ScottJenningsKY
My thoughts on Jimmy Carter’s legacy last night on @cnn: terrible president, soundly rejected by the American people. Even worse ex-president, whose meddling in US foreign policy & virulent anti-Israel/anti-Semitic views must not be forgotten. Undermined US interests repeatedly.
How would Pukin be limiting effectiveness by throwing 10,000 Norks at the Ukrainians? If the Norks are killed en masse, why would Pukin give a shit? He has people thrown out of hotel balconies and also has bombs planted in adveraries private jets. He wouldn’t give a rats about the Norks. As for less capability: the circumstances they’re used, or more correctly, abused wouldn’t change things.
Please.
You don’t appear to apply the same doubting Thomas routine to your guys. It appears to be only one way.
Trans:
Your attempt at insults is as weak as your understanding of any topic that’s ever been discussed here;
I’m convinced.
Why not as that’s been the focus discussion.
Yeah naaa. DEI is symptom of hard feminism and the descendants of slaves, otherwise DEI would be as pervasive in other high immigration countries and it’s not.
DEI is a symptom on its own.
oh, they aren’t insults JC … they’re observations
Truck v trains?
Certainly not, simply history.
Had to be a reason to construct the railway.
—————————
LONGEST WA RAIL JOURNEY in the 1950s.
The longest Western Australian Railway single train journey in the 1950s was the Perth to Wiluna trip – a journey of two days and two nights.
The train left Perth the first day, travelled to Midland and on to Northam, which was some distance on the line to Kalgoorlie.
There the train branched off in a northerly direction for the overnight journey through Pithara and Dalwallinu and arrived at Buntine in time for breakfast at the refreshment room on the platform.
The train on the second day headed north east for Yalgoo, a very slow journey and then almost due east to Mt Magnet. During the second night’s journey the train headed north again to Meka, then north east to Meekatharra.
The line then ran almost due east to Wiluna, with the train arriving in the morning for breakfast on the third day. This area is the southern most part of the Pilbara, not all that far south from the Lofty Ranges.
Drawing an almost straight line west to the coast to the town of Carnarvon gives you some idea of how far north Wiluna was – fit was almost due north of Kalgoorlie.
The centres north of Mt Magnet catered for the gold mining days – the Murchinson Gold Fields. There were 6 crew changes on this Wiluna train and its route took in typical central Western Australian scenery. It was a journey to remember.
Intermediate stopping points
Meekatharra – 600 miles (970 km) from Perth
Gnaweeda – 615 miles (990 km)
Richardson – 628 miles (1,011 km)
Yaganoo – 628 miles (1,011 km)
Paroo – 667 miles (1,073 km)
Wiluna – ~709 miles (1,141 km)
The Railway Goods Shed dating back to the 1930s has high historic significance for its association with the railway line between Meekatharra and Wiluna. The place has further significance given that it is one of the last remaining relics of the railway in the Wiluna district. The Goods Shed is representative, in both form and materials, of the type of industrial structure used for storage.
At Meekatharra, the railway buildings consisting of the station, a goods shed and a station masters house are on the Shire’s Heritage list.

Not of particular interest but for one thing.
Notice how well the people were dressed, or was that their only attire to go out in?
Nimby was working then as well, never mind the convenience of a close by railway station.
“A crowd of people stand on the roadway in King William Street, near Angas Street, in readiness to board the train which is arriving at its terminus from Glenelg.
On the right is Braun’s Tea Rooms, displaying a sign that boasts ‘This is the place for cakes and pastry: Best in the town’. The smoke billowing from the South Australian Railways ‘P’ class locomotive was the subject of continuous complaints and eventually, in 1914, the line was terminated at South Terrace.
In 1929 the line was upgraded and electrified as the Glenelg tram line. [On back of photograph] ‘King William Road [an error — should be ‘Street’] South, showing the Glenelg train.”
Happy New Year all!
woo, woo, woo!
I’ll wait until the New Year.
Happy Hogmany to all Cats and Kittehs from here at Invernocky Castle under Ben Nevis in the Scottish Highlands. We are still in preparations for the festivities here tonight. Hairy has done what he set out to do – collected the Scottish kilt and the full caboodle from the little shop in Fort William and I have been trained to be his ‘dresser’ for the evening. I have bought myself a Royal Stewart tartan for tonight to throw over my party dress to keep in the mood of clanship.
I was born in Glasgow during the war in 1942 and have quite a lot of Scottish ancestry (including the Dixon reiver clan from the Debatable Borderlands) but he hasn’t a skerrick. I’ve told him he can borrow some of mine. 🙂
We’ve just returned from clay pigeon shooting where I managed to drop his wooly hat into the mud while he was shooting. Just what I need for a big evening coming up, he says, a wife who plasters my head with mud, for muddy it was near that puddle.
Have a great 2025 everyone. T’will be a quarter of a century since 2020 and it seems like longer, almost another era, those 1990’s.
Trump will fix it!! Fingers crossed anyway, to make some magic happen. As you do, in this land of hobgobblies and various other sprites of time.
And that’s Inverlocky, not Invernocky.
It seems it may snow tomorrow.
Since 2025 I meant to type!
We had mulled wine after the shooting and it seems to have gone to my fingers. With small mince tarts. They are determined to feed us well. A latish buffet lunch coming up now at 2pm for lunch and canapes and a lavish feast happening at 7pm, before the dancing.
Most people seem to want an arvo nap after this lunch, for after the fireworks they are offering traditional bacon rolls at 12.30am for those who intend to dance on until 2am. I wonder if that is us? 🙂
Pictures for all Sydney Cats at the pub of Hairy kicking up his heels in a kilt. What is underneath is apparently the dresser’s secret. And will I ever tell? Of course I will.
Anybody else asked by GP whether vaccinations are “uo-to-date” when attending for some mundane reason such as medical validation for drivers licence?
I certainly did. I replied without flinching – “No. I haven’t had any vaccinations”. I meant during my adult life – but GP knew not to continue the conversation as” she knew that I knew” that she was meaning Covid booster.
Again, only a few weeks ago, while returning to Sydney, I attended one of the emergency clinics for a doctor to look at a bad ant bite (probably a fire ant) & the female medico sarcastically doubted that I had not had any vaccinations. “Not even as a child?” she asked. “Well, actually yes”, said I, “I had tetanus vaccination when I collected a facial laceration in a hockey match….& my face afterwards huge swelling and my arms itched with red welts”.
She let well alone.
