The Trump Counterrevolution Is a Return to Sanity
The worst elements of the Muesli society are laughing at the police. I am sure they see the appeasement from…
For those here who’ve watched the superb Israeli drama, Fauda, you would be familiar with the character of Taufiq Hammed, the terrorist who is known in the fictional series as ‘the Panther‘. Taufiq is the nemesis of Doron, the Israeli operative from the Shin Bet.
I’ve heard it said that the character of Taufiq was based on Sinwar. There’s an intriguing line in one of the episodes. In one scene Taufiq secretly meets up with his wife. This wife yearns for a quieter life for herself, her daughter and her husband. She’s tired of the endless violence, of having a husband on the run, of having Israelis visit her frequently. She asks a simple question of her husband…
‘when will it end?’
To which Taufiq aka the Panther responds…
‘when we win’
Taufiq’s answer is telling and it is one that doesn’t just belong in a fictional series like Fauda. Anyone with some basic insight into the Palestinian mindset, anyone who’s viewed some of Cory Gil-Shuster’s Youtube videos will know how the average Palestinian thinks and feels about Israel and Jews. Gil-Shuster’s videos are a vox populi of the average Palestinian on the street in towns such as Hebron, Jenin, Ramallah and Bethlehem. And those feelings and opinions aren’t pretty. 95% of Palestinians believe that one day the Jews will be gone and they will take back Tel Aviv, Haifa, Siderot and all the rest of the land that Israel was founded upon in 1948. Note, they don’t dispute the 1967 borders, no, they dispute and dislike the 1948 borders because here’s the rub, they detest the very existence of Israel. They don’t believe in coexistence with Jews. The believe in the chant….
‘From the river to the sea Palestine will be free….OF JEWS’
An unequivocal call for genocide. Israel knows it and the Palestinians know it. And it is a sign of just how far the West has fallen that this same genocidal chant is now chanted by gormless indoctrinated middle class males and females (particularly females) across the Western world, on our streets and university campuses. The West should be so ashamed, it is sickening.
Israel knows it has to fight, and it knows how to fight. It has no other way, the only alternative is death and Israel and Israelis do not believe in committing suicide, their religion is not a death cult.
Over the decades, ‘Palestinians’ have been fed and endless litany of lies, not just from their own corrupt leaders but also from spineless leaders in the West. Western leaders ae still parroting lies. The Palestinians never believed in the two state solution, instead they tricked the West and they also tricked Israel for a time. Whilst Israel woke up to that trickery a long time ago, it did nothing about it but since October 7 2023 I can assure you it won’t be entertaining any more trickery from the Pallies. There will be no more workers coming into Israel from Gaza, Israel can and will source workers from other countries, such as India and the Philippines.
As shown with the news this morning that Sinwar the Psychopath has been eliminated, Israel will continue to do what it must to survive in a brutal and ugly neighbourhood. Many in the Arab Muslim world, particularly in cults like like Hamas, ISIS and Hezbollah, pride themselves on the fact that they love death over life. Israel prides itself on its love and reverence for life. It was that reverence for life which saved the life of Sinwar the Psychopath over a decade ago when a Jewish doctor saved his life, it was only fitting that Sinwar the psychopath’s life was terminated last night by another Jew.
The Israeli and Jewish love for life will always defeat the Palestinian lust for death. Despite what Taufiq the Panther says, despite what the average Palestinian feels, it is Israel who will win because love for life will always, and I mean always, triumph over a love for death.
I see Trump has cancelled appearances on NBC, MSNBC and the NRA. I guess he needs more Spotify Time.
Meanwhile, Harris appeared on Fox where they showed her a wrong clip in an aborted attempt at a gotcha. Bret Baier didn’t realise it but Harris did and went after him hammer and tongs, Baier has since backed down in embarrassing fashion making his protestations in the interview look even more foolish.
No October Surprise so far, Harris is cruising to victory. I guess why that’s why they call it a surprise.

News just in – it has been reported that Mehreen Faruqi and Fatima Payman are heavily consoling each other after hearing about Sinwar and are considering asking Parliament to declare a day of mourning. But there is more – Sinwar has tragically lost his ticket to “Paradise” and is now headed in the opposite direction. Terribly tragic after all he had been told.

Transfected plasmids can cause cancer.
This plasmid DNA transfection problem was known about at least as far back as 1999.
It has taken 25 years, a manufactured pandemic, an intrepid journalist, a group of dissident scientists and a council meeting on the other end of the world to expose it.
The pharma companies knew about the problem and have tried to suppress it, as have the multitude of agencies who have tried to ridicule, threaten and harass those scientists over the years who have tried to raise the alarm.”

Taxpayers on the hook as pro-Palestine vandals run up $200k damages billNoah Yim and Dennis Shanahan
1 hours ago
4 min
Taxpayers have had to pay at least $120,000 to clean up and repair damage to 10 federal Labor MPs’ offices after pro-Palestinian protests and vandalism between the Hamas terror attacks on October 7 last year and June this year.
Estimates of the overall costs, including lost rent and service charges for MPs’ electorate offices that were blockaded by pro-Palestinian protesters, including Prime Minister Anthony Albanese’s electorate office in Sydney, go well beyond $200,000 for the nine months.
Official figures from the Department of Finance, obtained under the Freedom of Information Act, show the highest cost of damage to any of the offices was $89,309.55 to Labor Jewish MP, Josh Burns, in the Melbourne seat of Macnamara.
The Finance Department figures for 10 MPs include six ministers: the Prime Minister; NDIS Minister Bill Shorten; Attorney-General Mark Dreyfus; Climate Change Minister Chris Bowen; then immigration minister Andrew Giles, and Assistant Health Minister Ged Kearney.
But the estimates do not include Deputy Prime Minister Richard Marles, whose electorate office was attacked three times and smeared with red paint.
Nor does the estimate of costs include the lost rent and service charges to MPs who were forced to vacate their office while repairs were made or because of fears for the safety of MPs’ staff.
The Australian revealed earlier this year that Mr Albanese had been forced to vacate his electorate office in Marrickville, in Sydney’s inner west, for six months as pro-Palestinian protesters blockaded his office.
The average rent and utilities for an MP’s electorate office add up to about $27,000 a quarter, with a six-monthly bill of at least $54,000 plus about another $5000 to $6000 in maintenance and cleaning.
James Stevens, the Coalition spokesman on waste, told Weekend The Australian: “It is appalling that Australian taxpayers are forking out hundreds of thousands of dollars to clean up the damage caused by these vile and bigoted stunts.
You know it’s Friday.

Greens silent amid killing of Hamas chief SinwarAlexi Demetriadi
5 minutes ago
0 Comments
The Greens have remained silent about Yahya Sinwar’s death as Labor and the Liberals said Australia would “not mourn” the Hamas leader but they would his thousands of victims.
Anthony Albanese said the killing was a “significant moment” and a “vital turning point” in the conflict, and he hoped Sinwar’s death would “break the cycle of violence” and bring an end to the Israel-Hamas war.
Leading Greens, however, were tight-lipped on Friday after the Israeli government confirmed Sinwar had been killed in the southern Gazan city of Rafah.
Federal party leader Adam Bandt was on leave and unavailable, and did not comment on the death on social media. Neither did deputy leader Mehreen Faruqi nor senator Jordon Steele-John, the Greens’ foreign affairs spokesman. Neither senator’s office returned calls on the subject on Friday.
The lack of response from the Greens was in sharp contrast to that of the Labor government and Liberal opposition.
The Prime Minister welcomed Sinwar’s death, saying it was a “significant moment” in the Middle East conflict.
“Sinwar was a terrorist and the architect of the atrocities committed on October 7,” Mr Albanese said, calling him not just an enemy of Israel but of “peace-loving people everywhere”. “(His death) can be a vital turning point in this devastating conflict.”
Mr Albanese renewed his calls for a return of the remaining hostages in Gaza, more humanitarian support for civilians, and a ceasefire that would “break the cycle of violence and put the region on the path to an enduring two-state solution”.
Foreign Minister Penny Wong said Sinwar’s death was an opportunity to end the war, saying the terrorist leader had committed “untold suffering (on) so many people”.
“His violence culminated in the worst loss of Jewish life in a single day since the Holocaust,” Senator Wong said.
“We all look to a day when Gaza is free from Hamas, and to a day where both Israelis and Palestinians can live in peace in a two-state solution, which ensures that both parties (and) peoples can live in peace and security.”
Treasurer Jim Chalmers said Australia did not mourn Sinwar’s death “for one second”, but that it did for all his victims and civilians lost in the ongoing conflict.
Memo to Anthony Albanese – the Palestinians have rejected five offers of a “Two State” solution since the late 1930’s – what makes you think they are interested in such a solution today?
I dont suppose the corruption commission would care to take a gander at this??

It was a nurse.
An older, allegedly experienced, know-it-fkn-all nurse. It was only my protests AND the protocol that two nurses have to sign off on drug dispensing that forced a review of paperwork where the failure to carry forward the surgeon’s instructions was discovered.
Now, this wasn’t going to kill me, but it was poor form. The old paper chart system is fraught with opportunity to screw up.
To be fair, I found the younger nurses more amenable to listening to patient questions and concerns. This particular older one inserted a canula in my arm and I told her it didn’t feel right.
“It’s fine” I was told.
It was not being used but was only there for emergencies and as an extra “inlet tap” if needed.
Next day I go for a CT.
They use the canula she inserted.
Hands above my head on the tray.
They push the contrast button and then I got the cold contrast running down my arms and back.
Canula not in right.

King Charles III: Monarch’s Australian ‘secret son’ makes bold claim before royal tour beginsThe Nightly
The Australian man who believes he is the illegitimate love child of King Charles III and Queen Camilla has made an astonishing challenge to the royals before they embark on their royal tour of the region.
Their Majesties are set to land in Sydney on Friday to set off on a nine-day tour of Australia and Samoa — where the King will attend the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting between October 21 and 26.
But before King Charles III even packed his bag, the Australian man who claims to be his “secret son” challenged the 75-year-old ruler to take a paternity test to prove his claims.
British-born Simon Charles Dorante-Day, 58, has made headlines around the world over unproven claims he is the illegitimate love child of Charles and Camilla.
Mr Dorante-Day was born on April 5, 1966, in Portsmouth, England, and was adopted at eight months old. He has long claimed that his adoptive grandmother, who worked for the late Queen Elizabeth II, told him on her deathbed that he was Charles and Camilla’s son.
The 58-year-old, who lives in Queensland, claims that in the nine months leading to his birth, a then-17-year-old Charles was sent to Australia to study and Camilla, age 18, disappeared from the public eye.

Just had a news update that King Charles’ plane has landed at Mascot. I heard one of my grandkids pipe up “You mean like Taylor Swift?” Who is the real royalty?
The ‘news’ (*Cough* Cough*) was on during my tea break today in the work lunchroom. The several staff members present aside from myself showed more interest in the One Direction bloke’s death, than the revelation that the vermin Sinwar had been killed. On Sinwar, a department manager stated that it was ‘the height of hypocrisy’ for Israel to call him a mass murderer, because that’s exactly what Israel was. Had I been drinking at the time, I would have spat it out, but I sadly need to keep this moron onside in a work sense. It was a challenge biting my tongue.
Can we act surprised though, when individuals such as this one, probably unaware of how much he is being deceived by the curators-of-opinion, parrot the standard lines they have been programmed to emit?
It used to be that ignorance was perceived as the result of not having access to information. How does that theory now stand up with the internet?
I would like to see Israel sue a major media corporation for providing ‘material support’ to terrorists. I realise this would not be successful, for several reasons, but the intent would be to publicly quantify the support provided, and contrast this to the potential success of the same terror organisation if such active media support were not provided. Israel needs to publicly confront these media conglomerates and demand an eye-watering amount of compensation (which would not be paid, of course, but the goal would be to shine a spotlight on this element of terrorist infrastructure).
They had Soviet nukes so they have had the knowledge for decades, and they still have four nuclear power plants making them the seventh largest nuke energy producer in the world.
If Norks and Iranians can build nuclear bombs, it would be easy peasy for the Ukes. Keeping silo locations out of harm’s way in a war would be a different matter, of course.

OMG, Camilla has to hold her own umbrella. What a comedown.
I remember how, back in the 1970s and 1980s, the left agitated for nuclear disarmament.
Now we have our very own leftist Nazi agitating for nuclear rearmament.
Wow…the world really has become upside down.
It’s a difficult time, Mum is in hospital….again.
I went to Shul tonight, it always gives me comfort. I can report that no one celebrated the death of Sinwar the Psychopath. We did discuss how an UNHRA worker was found with Sinwar the Psychopath. I can assure everyone here that no one in that room tonight will be voting Labor.
I note how the Australian Nazi Party has remained silent about Sinwar the Psychopath’s elimination. I am not surprised by this, Nazis always stick together and Nazis always mourn dead Nazis. I suppose if there was a condolence book for Sinwar the Psychopath, Midget Bandt, Fatso Faruqi and all the rest of the Nazi Green scum would happily sign it. Oh and I note how our own Nazi here has said not a peep about Sinwar the Psychopath’s elimination. But we know where he stands.
The TV reporter is telling me that at present royal images are projected on the Opera House sails. You mean Taylor Swift’s image?
Not sure of the context of this comment, but I understand your cynicism. However, if the tax status of charities were revoked the work they do would fall to government agencies and bureaucrats, which would cost taxpayers much, much more, yet and be less efficient. Not to mention that it would be a Kafkaesque nightmare for the recipients of charity.
Commentary is that images on the Opera House sails are from King Charles’ early visits to Australia. Of course they would be to make sure there are no images of Princess Diana. To spare
Camilla’s feelings. Isn’t that ignoring history?

My 2c worth on Ukraine nuc’s. Yes they could do it but timeframe seems unrealistic.
Going from making power station grade fuel rods to fissionable material takes a bit more effort, reason why Iran’s claim to a peaceful nuclear program is unadulterated horse manure.
The equipment may still be in a dusty warehouse, they may have some knowledge if the scientists haven’t drunk themselves to death and the means of delivery as they were intimately involved with Soviet rocketry.
However, the minute Putin gets a whiff of anything like this, the power plants are spewing radiation all over western Europe Chenobyl style after being hit. Not that I think it will get to that, EU won’t allow it. It would be an escalation even they aren’t keen on.
In any measure I reckon if Trump gets elected Ukraine & Russia will be negotiating by this time next year and Israel will have wound up kinetic ops in their AO and a lot of this intemperate speech will amount to just bellicosity.
Had a porta-cath implanted for my chemo course, way back when.
The first “stab” missed the bullseye, in fact missed nearly everything, glanced off the stainless steel ring of the porta-cath and into my chest proper!
A not funny feeling.
The Ukes already have the industry, technicians and plenty of land out of range of most Russian missiles, plus their own rocket delivery systems up the wazoo.
You would look foolish to the extreme if you try to pretend that Ukraine has less capability than the pre-Cambrian Norks to develop nuclear bombs.
If the Ukes decide that this is the catalyst for them to win the war, evidence from the last few years shows that they have the wherewithal and gumption to do it.
It’s okay to admit that Uke nukes are technically possible, Bruce. It doesn’t win the argument for Zelenskyy. What he is doing is defining the terms of the game. Technically possible is a long way from reality, both political and logistical.

Paul Ham’s book “Vietnam:The Australian War” is making interesting reading.
Regarding the 1968 Tet Offensive
“The communist forces fell on the once beautiful ancient capital of Hue, with the ferocity of a Mongol horde. The city of 145,000, on the shores of the Perfume River (Sonh Huong) was the murmuring, once pounding heart of the democratic nationalist movement, the Dai Viet Party, whose members held the candle for a united Vietnam free of foreigners and Marx. They would suffer for daring to propose a “third way”: long before Tet, the People’s Army had been determined to exact a terrible punishment on the city’s recalcitrant population. (Page 372.)
“The Vietnamese Communists visited an atrocity on the people of Hue that went largely unreported in the West and disturbed no television meals in Australia or the U.S.A. To this day, many of Australia’s former anti war protestors remain unaware of the Hue massacre.
Mangled in a mass grave in the lime pits near a swamp on the outskirts of the city were found 3,000 civilian corpses, shot, clubbed or bayoneted, their hands tied behind their backs. The North Vietnamese had spent February hard at the grisly task of rounding up and killing anyone whose names appeared on the lists Dai Viet, that is the middle classes, government officers. teachers, doctors, anyone who failed to rise against the Saigon regime.Anther 2,800 were unaccounted for, suggesting total deaths of almost 6,000. About 800 were buried alive. (Page 375.)
Just a bunch of gallant little Robin Hoods, fighting for dear old Uncle Ho…
