(copied from the other side of the page turn because it took me freakin ages to type out.
And vanity. OK, mostly vanity.)

It seems all of the ‘splodey, stabby and swerve-into-the-crowdey Men Of Middle Eastern Appearance have one thing in common- they are lasped M*slims. From Christmas markets, to Lindt Cafe, to Ariarne Grande concerts and Taylor Swift parties, it turns out all the monsters who go about Slaying The Infidel Wheresoever Ye May Find Them have notably renounced the raghead faith, lapsed from their regular prayer groups, been Radicalized Online or, in extreme Man Monis cases, struck out on their own oddball Imam journeys. Which have nothing whatsoever to do with the Religion Of Peace. Even the Slaying Infidels command has Nothing To Do With Isl*m, dontcha know.
So- all this, plus the obvious truism that just like the similarly hate-crime-patrolled qualities of race or gayness, Isl*mism is actually an indelible characteristic which a person has no control over-
plus the full application of the Holy Command that no-one at all is ever allowed to criticize Isl*m or even portray its bloodthirsty paedophile founder, the Prophet Mohammed, which our commitment to gutting the western Enlightenment and quashing Christianity as eeevil, corrupt and possibly capitalist to boot-
We, like the Imams of old, have to fully commit to ensuring that Apostasy from Isl*m is absolutely haram.
Enforce it at the muzzle of a gun.
Make sure no virtuous mosl*m is ever tempted by the paths of sin, the happy-clappy evangelicals who never do background checks, the multiculti main street or, of course, the awful internet.
So, guards with guns, razorwire fences, and total tech blackout. Save the muzzies from temptation, and save the poor dhimmis from liquidation by those poor 18-35-y-o men who stray, somehow, from the surveillance faith.
It’s the only way to stop all the misguided mass murdering, obvs.

Well, sick Nellie has been discharged and sent home. But still incredibly weak and without control of his bowels. What were they thinking?? Did they need his bed that badly??

Anyway, wife and I have been on the go since 4.30 this morning, so late this arvo we crashed for an hour on the bed. She left and I dozed and with a start realised Mum was standing in the doorway of the walk-in robe. Of course, she wasn’t … she’s been gone since 2015. But it gave me one hell of a start. And for some weird reason, this song came to mind.

If I may feculate on the boxhead murderer.

He was facing charges back home.
He needed asylum claim accepted to not be extradited.
Realising ” I’d have to pay for my crimes” isn’t a great asylum claim he does lots of public ” I’m no longer a muzzie” bullcrap online etc to generate a new asylum claim.

It’s not rocket surgery.

Next would be the ” I’m gay” gambit with a strategic pic or 2 from madi gras.

The interesting thing about the attack is that the Regime is using the counter-jihad links to smear AfD.
That’s not interesting. It’s not even mildly surprising.
What is surprising is that there is not a Don’t-Look-Back-In-Anger, #I’ll ride with you, #notalldarkies campaign loaded and deployed yet. There’s most probably some signwriters embarrasedly explaining to their mutters that they have to go in to the printing shop on a Sunday after all.

Makes sense

Despite claims made by the German press, Taleb Al Abdulmohsen is not an ex-Muslim atheist, nor is he a fan of the AfD or Elon Musk. While he may have spread this misinformation himself, it aligns with the practice of Taqqiye, an Islamic doctrine that permits lying and deception to advance Islamic objectives.

In reality, he is a radical Shia Muslim, as evidenced by his name and numerous tweets and chat leaks circulating on Arabic-speaking platforms like X. Disturbingly, his plans to carry out mass killings of Germans were brought to the attention of German authorities by a Saudi woman. Tragically, the police ignored her warnings.

The links are added in the thread.

This is the real story of immigration in Australia, Europe and the USA. Our political rulers decide to import terrorists because that guarantees them future votes and police forces/law enforcement decide their loyalty is to their political masters — not the civilians they swore an oath to protect.

If German police had taken seriously their oath to protect civilians, the terrorist attack in Madgeburg — and other previous attacks — would not have happened.

But don’t expect any accountability because the news media is on the side of the terrorists.

Liz Cheney abused her power and turned the January 6th Committee into a tool to attack not just President Trump, but also many of his supporters, including me. She knew we were innocent, yet she went ahead to intimidate and financially burden us.

Now that she’s under scrutiny, she’s claiming victimhood, which is hilarious because, unlike us, she potentially committed real crimes, including witness tampering.

She could be facing significant legal consequences. What a shame.

Well, we’re now seeing, yet again, the MSM trying to gaslight the population about the Magdeburg accused, that he’s far-right, he’s an AFD supporter and so on.

We live in a clown world but that clown world is becoming more and more rancid and dangerous.

Meanwhile, the German authorities, despite more than one warning from Saudi Arabian intelligence, despite the accused’s numerous Twitter threats about his intention to commit mass murder, didn’t intervene to stop/prevent this mass murder but those same German authorities will knock on your door if you make a joke on X about a Greens politician’s weight and those same German authorities have said they will abide by the ICC warrant and arrest and deport Benjamin Netanyahu if he ever steps foot in Germany.

Early 2006:

‘Taleb Abdulmohsen’ flees Saudi Arabia after being accused of rape and implicated in serious crimes.

After arriving in Germany, Abdulmohsen reinvents himself as a dissident, publicly declaring himself an atheist and ex-Muslim. This move appeared strategic, likely aimed at securing full asylum protection in Germany by portraying himself as a victim of persecution rather than a fugitive from justice.

With reference to the discussion yesterday, it seems pretty clear that a significant proportion of the AWM staff see their jobs as just another front in the ongoing culture war being waged by the left against Australian history.

What, then to do?

First, a lot of work in the AWM is already done by volunteers. Tasks included guides for visitors, assistance to visitors researching family members, conservation of major items, and collation of data.

Perhaps more tasks should be given to volunteers with interest in commentating Australia’s military history, and fewer revisionists given power over the presentation of that history?

As a simple example, for years the Army History Unit sponsored authors writing about Australian military history. For a relatively small cost, a lot of work was produced.

Expanding on that would seem to be a better approach than, as now, pouring large sums into the pockets of philosophically hostile revisionists.

Sub-contract much of the work to Muddy!

For those interested, German substack writer eugyppius:

Magdeburg Christmas Market Attack

eugyppius

Dec 21

Yesterday, a Saudi-born man named Taleb al-Abdulmohsen rented a black BMW sport utility vehicle and drove it into a crowd at the Christmas market in Magdeburg, killing five people and injuring 200. It is the second such attack in German history, following the 2016 Berlin truck attack by the unsuccessful Tunisian asylum seeker Anis Amri, exactly eight years and one day prior.

German police arrested al-Abdulmohsen almost immediately, near his smashed-up SUV.

Al-Abdulmohsen is a 50 year-old psychiatrist and psychotherapist who lived in Bernburg, 46km south of Magdeburg. He first came to Germany from Saudi Arabia in March 2006, when he was granted political asylum. German authorities repeatedly refused Saudi Arabian requests that he be extradited. The Saudis accused him of terrorism and human trafficking, for alleged complicity with efforts to smuggle Arab girls to the European Union. Al-Abdulmohsen finally obtained refugee status and permanent residence in Germany in July 2016, and for years he has worked at a government clinic in Bernburg, where he has treated patients for problems with addiction.

Al-Abdulmohsen has a significant media profile. He gave interviews to Frankfurter Rundschau and the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung in 2019, in which he presented himself as an activist assisting refugees to Germany from the Arab world and as a staunch anti-Islamist. In the FAZ interview he even called himself “the most aggressive critic of Islam in history.” He also appeared in a brief BBC segment, where he described his efforts to help young Arab women emigrate to Europe while wearing a literal fedora…

Just eight days before the Magdeburg attack, on 12 December, he gave an extended video interview to an American organisation called the RAIR Foundation, in which he claimed (among other things) that Germany is working to Islamise Europe by welcoming jihadists, while neglecting the asylum applications and the needs of ex-Muslims like himself.

Prominent voices on the right of the political spectrum, assisted by some of al-Abdulmohsen’s acquaintances, collaborators and enemies in the German ex-Muslim community, are trying to construct al-Abdulmohsen as a jihadist sleeper agent. They obviously want to distance themselves and their cause and from the Magdeburg attacker, but their arguments are not convincing.

At 7:07pm yesterday – three minutes after the 7:04 pm attack – al-Abdulmohsen posted four videos to his Twitter account in which he appears to expand upon his motivations. These videos frequently border on incoherence and suggest that the man suffers from paranoia and other psychiatric problems. He claims that Germans are like the Athenians who “a very long time ago … executed Socrates for his religional [sic] critique,” because Germans are “actively criminally chasing Islam critics to ruin their lives.” There follows a bizarre six-minute rant about a USB stick that he believes the Cologne police stole from his mailbox, and then finally remarks about his core grievance, which is related to a Cologne-based refugee organisation called Atheist Refugee Relief (ARR).

This is the story, as near as I can reconstruct it, from al Abdulmohsen’s obsessive and extremely tiresome thread:

Some years ago, female Saudi refugees to Germany, who left Islam because they were inspired by the work of Richard Dawkins (I swear I am not making this up), ended up in the hands of ARR, who housed them with a male employee whom these women accused of sexual harassment or abuse. Al-Abdulmohsen spent years demanding that German police investigate, and when nothing happened he developed a murderous rage, concluding that “the citizens of Germany” were collaborating to persecute ex-Muslim Arabs in service of a broader plot to Islamise Europe…

As many Twitter users have noted, and as Welt is now reporting, a Saudi Arabian woman noticed al-Abdulmohsen’s threatening posts in September 2023, and went to considerable efforts to warn German authorities, repeatedly sending emails and text messages…

German federal police and police in Magdeburg conducted a “risk assessment” of al-Abdulmohsen last year, ultimately concluding that he posed “no concrete danger.”

As Welt and other German media have reported, the Berlin Public Prosecutor’s Office also charged al-Abulmohsen for misuse of an emergency line earlier this year, after he called the fire brigade on 23 February for no reason. The Tiergarten District Court fined him 600 Euros; he appealed, but did not appear at his hearing on 19 December, one day before killed five people and injured more than two hundred at the Magdeburg Christmas market. 

(I’ve cut some screenshots and related text for ease of posting.)

On the other hand, there’s plenty of mid to late 40’s I know who don’t have children, and may be normal on the surface, but dig a little and they’re all nuts. Like a teacher who loves kids, is driven and successful but will decide she’s in love with a bloke and love bomb him until he leaves her.

Clinging on by the fingernails news (the Hun):

A broad coalition of Liberal MPs are preparing to blast John Pesutto out of the state party’s leadership in the new year if he continues to refuse to step aside.

On Saturday Mr Pesutto stood with deputy David Southwick to stare down ­potential challengers, declaring he would “fight on, on ­behalf of the Victorian people”.

But conservative and moderate MPs across factions spent the day thrashing out details of a new leadership pairing, with likely frontrunning candidates Brad Battin and Jess Wilson frantically marshalling numbers.

“We are going to have to blast him out now,’’ one Liberal MP told the Sunday Herald Sun after Mr Presutto’s press conference.

Happy New Year, Pesutto.

A topic for contemplation at this time of the year:

I saw an interview on Utube with a bloke that is reputed to have an IQ of 200. He offered his thoughts on Divinity. Reckons the Universe is God.

As many of you may know I am a fan of the German poet Rilke who mused that we are here “ so that God may know himself in you”. Loved that idea. Also interested in the idea of God being the Universe.

But then, if so, can God accomodate Evil in that scenario?

Roger

 Also interested in the idea of God being the Universe.

Pantheism is an inherently contradictory position in that it assumes a non-theistic deity (a “god” without the classical attributes of God).

You might call it the last resort of the materialist in denial of the supernatural, i.e. an order of existence above (so to speak) the material realm.

Women have had the vote in Australia for 122 years.
The first women to vote are so long dead, they’re dust.
The first female university graduate was 141 years ago. She dead. Loooong time ago.
Yet, when I go into my local bike shop to get my derailleurs adjusted, all the mechanics are boys.
I watch the electricity company cherry picker, and it’s yet another dude on the line way up there, risking getting his cock cooked at high voltages.. The girls are only interested in standing there holding the stop sign apparently, and so it is with every roadwork crew I pass. The men are doing the work of fixing the road, the women are holding the traffic sign.
The local primary school is full of female staff, and the math department of the local high school is full of blokes.
The car mechanics are all men, nearly four decades after our Kylie played a mechanic on Neighbours.
90% of the people working in the dirtiest and highest risk to life and limb occupations are, can you guess? Men.
But if any of these facts are mentioned, conservative “good” women go into paroxysms of indignation and female solidarity with their leftist sisters, with a side serve of denial of reality.
Men and woman are different, and we on the centre right have to talk about roles, at least as much as those on the left are.
We have gone past the point where we can afford polite deference to female feelings, the left ain’t waiting for us to catch on to the scam, and our sons and daughters need us to figure it out.

All the news feeds keep calling the turd a “far-right, ex mussie”.

The msm label “far-right” is rapidly losing its ability to scare people through lazy overuse.

The ABC (which gave Pesutto a lot of air time and must have only narrowly avoided a defamation suit themselves) applied it to Moira Deeming, for heaven’s sake.

Inescapable are the facts that he came to Germany as an immigrant, from an islamic nation under sharia law, who after living well in the west over several years has now betrayed that goodwill and horrifically massacred innocent people enjoying Christmas.

The AfD migration policy proven right again.

A long article from Tablet is here.

I followed the link to it on Citizen Free Press.

The author chronicles the rise of obama through the manipulation of public opinion provided by axlerod and his cohorts. He also shows how Musk buying Twitter broke the dam and eventually allowed the great masses of deplorables to realise they were neither alone nor wrong in their thinking, with a side dish of the tech “elites” realising they may have backed a losing horse.

The final paragraph is below.

As for Barack Obama, I will admit that I wasn’t sure I’d ever see him face the consequences of his own arrogance, obsession with personal power, and efforts at vanquishing the exceptionalism that makes this country different from every other one. But I guess, as a wise man once explained: “Life’s a bitch.”

He’s a lefty.

Christmas Market Attack Suspect Was a Saudi Arabian ‘Leftist’ Asylum Activist Promoted by BBC: Reports (21 Dec)

The suspected perpetrator of the Magdeburg Christmas market attack was reportedly an asylum seeker activist who was promoted by legacy media outlets, including the BBC.

“Taleb A. said in the interview that he was not a right-winger and described himself as a leftist,” Der Spiegel reports.

There’s certainly a whole bunch of contradictions, taqiyya maybe, grandstanding, or just psychosis, but he was an asylum seeker activist who publicly described himself as a leftist, and was on speed dial to a number of MSM outlets including the BBC.

Here are three incongruous assertions presented in her post. He’s a Shia Muslim, ISIS supporter, and that he might have been in cahoots with the Saudi government.

Where’s all this incongruity in her post?

Despite claims made by the German press, Taleb Al Abdulmohsen is not an ex-Muslim atheist, nor is he a fan of the AfD or Elon Musk. While he may have spread this misinformation himself, it aligns with the practice of Taqqiye, an Islamic doctrine that permits lying and deception to advance Islamic objectives.

In reality, he is a radical Shia Muslim, as evidenced by his name and numerous tweets and chat leaks circulating on Arabic-speaking platforms like X. Disturbingly, his plans to carry out mass killings of Germans were brought to the attention of German authorities by a Saudi woman. Tragically, the police ignored her warnings.

And then when you check the replies there is a comment of his admitting/ alleging he’s Sunni.

Oh yeah, replies:

Translation: “No.. We will return Hamas to Gaza and if you like we can bring Hamas to your home so you can taste it” Turns out this terrorist was a radical muslim jihadist and a “Palestinian” supporter after all. Never trust a single one of them and their filthy taqiyya.

The Vic LNP situation is a disgrace. That they can’t muster enough numbers to depose Pesutto now, even after his proven lies and petty viciousness, screams of cowardice and complete disregard for the Vic electorate.

Labor are sitting back, popcorn in hand watching this self destruction.

The future turned out a complete disappointment.
We were supposed to be riding turbine- powered robot dinosaurs with laser eyes to a three hour workday at the local robot factory.
Instead, we continue to buy pre- landfill from a global slave based dictatorship of pathological arseholes, while our fellow citizens either work 14 hour days keeping the dying remnants of an industrial society functioning, or laze about pretending to work from home, while swapping pictures of food.
And we’ll never get the Starship Troopers shower scenes, just the bad parts of that movie.

The German government has blood on its hands.
Import barbarians, ignore their threats and behaviour, get dead innocents.
