Liberty Quote
[E]very significant 100-percent bank known to history was a government-sponsored enterprise, which depended for its existence on some combination of direct government subsidies, compulsory patronage, or laws suppressing rival (fractional reserve) institutions.

Morocco ‘bans the sale and production of the burka’
So far Morocco has avoided the worst of the Salafist revolution, but that may be about to change.
LOL, now you lot stoop to the “look, 4chan” defence.
Notice Australian media given more air time and credence to an unverifiable ‘intelligence’ report written about Trump’s supposed behaviour than they did about the leaks of real behaviour done by Hills.
Wow, you know some pretty weird stuff, Calli.
Woody Herman – Golden Wedding
OMG, he’s crying.
Trump certainly pissed all over a whore on November 8th,that’s for sure.
The next four years are going to feel like one long golden shower for the Left. Believe me.
Trump, more WINNING!!! You think you are sick of WINNING now, but you arent, not really, and we will keep WINNING until there is no more WIN left.
U2 delay new album release after Trump win: ‘The world is a different place’
Post-US election, the band are taking time to reconsider their already completed new LP, which they might alter in light of the result
The group have made their views on Trump known. At the iHeartRadio music festival in September, Bono used lyrics from their song Desire to make pointed remarks about the then presidential nominee. He also told a virtual Trump, “You’re fired,” at an October benefit concert.
Speaking to Charlie Rose in September, Bono said that Trump is “trying to hijack the idea of America”.
The Edge described Trump’s win as a “pendulum [that] has suddenly just taken a huge swing in the other direction”. The group are gearing up for a tour to celebrate the 30th anniversary of their album The Joshua Tree, and he said that things have somewhat come full circle since the album’s release during the Ronald Reagan and Margaret Thatcher era of transatlantic politics.
“It was a period when there was a lot of unrest,” he said. “It feels like we’re right back there in a way.” The Edge also suggested that the group might write additional songs as they reconsider if the album’s content is “really was what we wanted to say”.
The US could be called North Mexico, but now there is an Even Norther Mexico.

Refugees from what? Tequila and chillies? I love lefties. Maybe Trudeau will make Spanish the third official language of Canada (oh wait there’re all those first nations’ languages too, aren’t there?).
SRR, get here & explain to us what the Donald was thinking!!
I used to have one in the front yard. The wonder of the neighbourhood when it flowered. I had to look up alternative meanings to work out what the latest outrageous outrage was all about. I wish I hadn’t.
Ciao buon giorno. I hope everyone is keeping cool, can hardly wait for the pretty little weather girls to go hysterical tonight about the extreme weather event in the middle of summer in Sydney.
Parting shot that young people (those indoctrinated by Marxist Education) will soon outnumber all of us so the future is in good hands.
Is it just me or was that the most boring, predictable speech ever.
It’s just before 6am in Moscow, his minders haven’t woken up yet.

hang on a bit didn’t the Boy PM say Canada no longer exists, that they are in a post-nationalist phase?
Say what you will about Obama buy he gutted and destroyed the Democrats.
They barely hold office anywhere in the United States and have no quick path back to doing so.
Has Barry said what his focus will be as a FPOTUS?
Rough trade and crack smoking in a limo probably isn’t viable, despite the yearning for the good old days in the ‘hood.

Ahmed the ‘Clockboy’ Lawsuit Tossed Out Of Texas Court
Hopefully he and his dad will keep all the other lawsuits going. Who knows some lefty judge may award them some nice jizya. And if they lose all the court cases I guess they’ll just stay in Qatar and leave the tab to those nice lefty lawyers who’ve been doing the work.
I cannot listen to Obama speak it is a physical thing, he makes me sick
He has had nothing new to say since he gave a speech as a junior Senator at the DNC in 2004.
Those pesky, unpredictable pendulums.

Never ask the The Edge to fix your grandfather’s clock.
Obama was made president because first black president. (Ignoring, for a moment, his mother, who was whiter than Joe Biden’s pocket square). In 8 years he achieved absolutely nothing worthwhile.
Did bazza congratulate the incoming president on his crushing WIN ?
This is very cryptic – has it got anything to do with cricket? Is it about bowling down the leg-side perhaps?
He may have ‘polished a few clocks’ in his time?

Not true, he enabled property rights in outer space allowing private companies to profit if they work out the problems doing it.
Just in time for NASA to be focusing on Muslim outreach, QWERTY, and climate change as opposed to anything much space related though.

My ex’s mother, bless her heart, wandered Bunnings asking staff for a golden shower to match the one she had at home.
Lefties have been having that delusion for a long time.
Thankfully nature is stronger than nurture.
And for whoever asked what Obama would be doing post-POTUS ?
Try – nominal but-still-golfing-frequently head of Organizing for Action, the Obama money bucket and political action group, leveraging all those products of the failed US education system to push hard from the Left.
All the guilded yoofs in Plant Materials had a good snicker when Cassia fistula came up for ident. I had no idea what all the hooting and hollering was about. No Google edumacation back then.

That said, I do find urban dictionary quite funny.
Brigitte Gabriel doing a public service announcement.
For those interested, the original David Corn story in Mother Jones — published nine days before the election — detailing the now-blossoming story that Trump paid hookers to pee in the hotel bed once occupied by Obama and his missus.
http://www.motherjones.com/politics/2016/10/veteran-spy-gave-fbi-info-alleging-russian-operation-cultivate-donald-trump
Something to check:
Did Obama actually stay in the hotel where said depraved acts are said to have taken place? Isn’t it customary for presidents to stay at the US Embassy, not least for security reasons?
True or not, and it seems highly improbable, the smear is already achieving its goals. Jenny “Nitwit” Noyes in Fairfax just now:
Of course, once the jokes die down, the very serious question remains: how many more allegations of sexual misconduct will surface before Donald Trump’s presidency crumbles under their weight – given it hasn’t even yet begun?
Bono is a turd.
South Park said so.
Sounds about right, South Park has been the pinnacle of political insight for some time.

That’s brilliant, Sparkx. Thanks for posting.
Damn late again for the new fred!
The story about Skeletor using taxpayer dime to go to the polo is close to cracking the 500 comment mark at the Oz.
Rellies of mine are in her electorate and love her, I filled them in on the various soubriquets by which she is known. They were horrified. They still love me though, mostly because I can cook and speak Italian.
monty, good morning. May I refer you to “Rerum Novarum” published in 1893 I think. It’s a good read for people from your lot.
The Magic Negro only ever had one good speech in him. Since then he’s reworked it to death, much to the delight of insomniacs.
Jules is a very effective local member. She doesn’t have to do anything because Curtin is so wealthy and established it wants for nothing, so she just has to smooze the right people and she is tops at that.
It also helps when she looks and acts like all the other birds in the area.

Can someone tell me the name of the woman delivering that speech?
Woops. Tinta has answered my question.
Tom she is Brigitte Gabriel, check her out.
That pic should come with a trigger warning.

The shock-horror “confidential” golden-shower memo, as reproduced at Zero Hedge:
http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2017-01-10/here-full-35-page-report-alleging-trump-was-cultivated-supported-and-assisted-russia
Obama stayed at the hotel with his family in July, 2009.
Four years later — June, 2013 — Trump was in Moscow with the Miss Universe gals and it seems this is when he chose to “defile” the sacred mattress on which the sainted One laid his head.
This story smells worse than the memo claiming George W. was a draft-dodger, the one written on a typewriter that didn’t exist at the alleged time and, consequently sank the careers of Dan rather and Mary Mapes.

Excellent. I’m glad I watched. Added to my ‘favorites’. Thanks.
Don’t think so Johanna; at their ABC they are going to be watching for every “gaffe” or slight mispronunciation, wink or Trump onion eating moment. Iraq aside, the US MSM crucified Bush on everything except policy. It was all GAFFE.
Obama’s speech included these outright lies:
1. No foreign sponsored terrorist attacks on US during his reign.
2 That he shut down Iran’s nuclear program.
Lewinski wasn’t getting paid. Also, Bill wasn’t installed in the White House by Yeltsin.
Hilarious!
But Bill was the Prez, not a private citizen…
And (if Real News,lol) Trump paid the girls for their services, not took advantage of a lowly paid employee that he had power over like your boy Bill the Rapist.
The mental gymnastics are gold though Montel,Gold!
The idea that Trump, possibly the world’s greatest modern day pantsman (Leo notwithstanding) would pay for sex with hookers is ludicrous.
When you actually look at the guy’s character – no drinking,drugs, big family man, genuine good nature,etc it becomes even more impossible.
Those scamps at 4change have struck again. The Leftists being pantsed again by the alt-right troll army! Glorious!
JC, no she was not. She was an unpaid intern.

Monster is OK with a Prez that sticks cigars inside the unpaid work experience girl IN THE OVAL OFFICE…
A private citizen availing themselves of the services of professional sex workers at market rates – EVIL!
LOL!
Here are some fake facts from the ABC:
http://www.abc.net.au/news/2017-01-11/female-act-public-servants'-pay-packets-$3,200-less-than-men/8174978?WT.ac=statenews_act
back in the ‘oughties I was involved, as a consultant, in an investigation into a ‘gender gap’ in the ACT Public Service. We found no evidence whatever that employees doing the same job at the same level over the same hours were paid differently on the basis of gender. Such discrimination would have been unlawful under the ACT PS umbrella enterprise agreement – the same basic framework that is currently in place – as well as administratively difficult to implement via the payroll system. Their ABC’s reference to ‘pay-packets’ is therefor mendacious.
Collectively males earned more than females but a major factor in the ACT PS – apart from the typical differences in career/family choices and aspirations – was that males tended to predominate in those areas – fires, ambos, transport – that had, some would say, utopian overtime and penalty rates and conditions.
So if there is a gender pay gap in the ACTPS, blame the TWU.
All from the Old Fred.
You bastards left me there hassling Monty on my own!
It hit 36C here today, and the local media are going spare. Drink plenty of fluids! Stay out of the sun! Check up on elderly rellies and friends! OMG, glowbull warmening, we’re all gonna die!
Firstly, anyone who doesn’t have the sense to drink fluids and stay out of the sun deserves to die. Since they apparently keep having to remind themselves of it, that includes several in the MSM.
Secondly, in the years I have lived here, it has frequently hit 39-40C in January.
Just as well there are no real news stories to follow up around here.
Tails – if the story is bogus, the likely scenario is Trump planted/leaked this himself.
That Rick Wilson guy who 4Chan pwned on the Trump Mattress Splash has some flack incoming on his Twitter feed

35 degrees here right now. A warm day in a – so far – unusually mild summer.
Aaand – former Conservative MP Louise Mensch goes there
Just like I said – Trump’s lawyer’s Tweet saying he had never been to Prague would be proof positive that Trump is up to his eyeballs in a Russkie conspiracy !
It’s a Tweet – not an affidavit.
The one in Cairo where he pretty much gave the Muslim Brotherhood the green light and tossed Mubarak under a bus was pretty memorable. The rest – not so sure about.
Louise Mensch is the looniest woman on Twitter. Recovering methhead.
What happened to the sexual revolution?
If Trump wants to watch people piss on a bed in a hotel and he has the consent of all parties and the hotel owner, then who cares?
Isn’t this what the left want? People pissing on whoever and wherever they want?
The other night Obama was on tv snarking that “Being President isn’t the same as running a family business”. Oh to have been there and asked him “Please Mr. President, tell us everything you know about running a business, family or otherwise.”
And C.L., if you’re out there, did you enjoy the media event the other day when the AFP were displaying their big haul of pseudoephedrine? They had two scary-looking tactical ops cops in full weaponry and ski masks, one of whom was a girl. Even with the ski mask she looked more suited to delivering weather reports or spinning a TV competition barrel.
3525 degrees here right now. A warm day in a – so far – unusually mild summer.If we get to mid-Feb without a 43C day, I will pronounce it as the coolest summer since I have lived here.
The epic 4chan hoax revealed!!
😀 😀 😀
Utterly breathtaking.
What a turd.
You’re right Philippa. Perth seems to get a typical “hot” summer day or two but it cools down quickly.
Is it true that the Water Corp had to stop using last years ad? They were running last year’s summer water saving ad and it claimed that we’d had the hottest spring on record (or one of). It was probably BS last year, but this year it was definitely and obviously wrong – it was a record cold spring, with especially September standing out on the stats.
They were running it regularly and I haven’t seen it for a while. I’d like to find whoever got onto them and shake their hand.
Happy New Year everyone – my first post on why we should be optimistic for the upcoming year is out:
https://themarcusreview.com/2017/01/10/saudis-lose-game-of-chicken-with-usa/
I did see that, yes.
I was flabbergasted.
Just so I understand the story. Was trump participating in the waterworks display or was he a spectator?
Monst, what’s the angle on this one.
Like this?
JC: the “ex-MI6” briefer says he watched as carnal consultants went from bladder to worse.
Thanks areff.
This is patently absurd.
Can anyone actually think of an Obama quote – except for the hilariously portentous ‘seas cease to rise and planet begin to heal’?

Has Bono checked in a mirror, lately?
Brings a whole new dimension to the old slogan “Save water – shower with a friend.”
Interesting that Carl Bernstein is weighing on via CNN on Trump’s alleged taste in perversion.
Someone should ask him about his visits to The Vault on 14th Street in Manhattan’s Meat District.
Just in from Florida. Black shooter. Two dead cops – both black. Plus the dead black ex-girlfriend, who was also pregnant when he shot her. Meanwhile, their ABC News just can’t stop gushing about that epic going-away speech by their favourite oxygen bandit & CO2 emitter extraordinaire, Barack Obama. Did you see that the flight to Chicago was his 445th on Air Force One? Not to mention the two C17 military transport aircraft that accompany him with all his support crap. What was wrong with a teleconference?

Again Johanna shows the cost of the Swiss finishing school she attended was money well spent. Value for money.
BoM were pretty close, it reached 40.7 C at 3pm at the nearest weather station vs 41 C in the forecast. But humidity is so low I went for a walk around the reserve half an hour ago. Didn’t feel hot at all. There was a bit of fun at a shady corner adopted by the dollarbirds as a dollarbird hangout – about a dozen of them took offense at my insulting presence. Usually you only ever see one or two at a time.

Senator Rod Culleton: Senate vacancy set to be confirmed within days
Funny how no helpful union has come along to mysteriously pay his debts.
I know, I know. But I never went there first. A trader blog is reporting that Zerohedge has the goods on the waterworks story.
It was discussed on 4Chan back in November to eventually run with this story and have the MSM buy into it. It’s a complete hoax conceived at 4Chan.
http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2017-01-10/4chan-claims-have-fabricated-anti-trump-report-hoax.
Unfortunate for saying this by referencing Zerohedge, but they are right. If the CIA bought into this fabricated story, the Intel community is worthless.
Bloody blowflies.
Meanwhile:
A former Navy submariner sent to prison for photographing his ship’s classified engine compartments has filed a presidential clemency request, arguing that President-elect Donald Trump should realize the sailor was a “scapegoat” amid the FBI probe into Hillary Clinton’s mishandling of classified material.
The paperwork was filed Monday with the Justice Department’s office of the pardon attorney, which now will conduct an investigation.
The case of former Machinist Mate 1st Class Kristian Saucier has become a cause celebre for conservatives. They watched the young sailor go to prison for carelessness with classified information while Mrs. Clinton avoided any punishment from the Obama administration.
He apparently took six photos inside a classified space on board his submarine, but didn’t pass them on to anyone.
Lol, now she’s pretending she’s above it all.
Doesn’t safe schools teach that the golden shower people are just as deserving of full respect as the piddle in the loo people?.
How many golden shower people will committ suicide because of the hurtfulness of the non-difference accepting media?.
Was he an attendee?
Yep. The preservation of my own reputation rules out confirming how I know.
That would not surprise.
He was the one who peddled the Cruz sex scandal rumour.
lol.. Areff was the vault the same place as Plato’s Retreat?
Bernstein! Where’s Woodward? We know about deep throat! WaPo Felt OK! Now we’re getting showered!
You were only there for the articles.
So monty just got trolled by 4chan. Big dummy.
You know that alien Dyson Sphere? Well it may just be a bad case of indigestion.
This May Be The Best Explanation Yet For That Mysterious ‘Alien Megastructure’
It’s still just a hypothesis, but certainly sounds plausible given the amazing number of close-in planets we’ve been finding lately.
I was visiting my folks earlier and Channel 9 was reporting on the waterworks story. They referred to it as “a widely reported lewd scandal’ hitting the wires.
But……
They had three, albeit good looking bimbos, offering opinion on this bullshit, as though it was true.
The MSM is done.
Plato’s was in the basement of the Ansonia on W72nd. Charming place: white velour covers on the benches and with everyone naked, skid marks aplenty.
Correct.
Presently, the Trumpinator will be opening the fire hoses at Langley to blast it clean before pulling the plug on the spookswamp.
By autists no less.
But here’s the real problem, it appears that US intel may have also picked up the story and ran with it for a while. If this is fucking true, then entire layers of the US intel apparatus are useless and must get cleaned out immediately.
On second thoughts, they aren’t just fucking useless but very dangerous too, as their screw ups could lead to something serious.
I had Todd Carney in mind, but the Left are herd animals?
Trump’s first presser is scheduled for tomorrow (our time).
Should be lots of fun, especially if the 4chan clim can be true’d up by then.
It’s quite astonishing that the CIA were able to run 9/11 and get away with it.
A highlight from Marcus’ post above:
LOL. Good post Marcus, keep them coming.
How good will 2017 be if a video surfaces of smoking hot Russian hookers pissing on a bed while Trump looks on?
Dare to dream.

Bruce,
a few problems…
“Most voted?” Since when do we do science by consensus or voting? Flickering would come from debris in front and/or around any “hit” object as it says later.
…
Large comet, small fast comet, gravitational irregularities pushing it into a smaller planet? Dark matter?
As noted above, could be anything; least of which is a “popular vote.”
It can’t be #fakenews with this shiny new coat of Bernstein gloss.
IT: Plato’s was work-related. Just found the story I wrote in 1980 for Fairfax. Can’t be read unless I take a sub, but that’s the yarn. The Vault was the end result of a night’s nomadic carousing which ended up, if I remember correctly, at an underground casino in Brooklyn.

Can we shut down the internet now, nothing can top this surely?
You think one basic check for an agency would be copy/paste whatever they have and see if it comes up in a search.
FFS even Unis have a version of this to check for plagiarism.
I hope Trump sues the crap out of every newsagency who spread this, down to individual reporters.
They have been bleating about “fake news” then print 4 Chan stuff, inconceivable!
Lets recall pizza gate and how the New Times totally discounted it.
Get a load of NYTimes concern trolling attempt with this piece.
A total disgrace.
MSM showering in it’s ‘golden’ age!
I bet Trump leaked this story. 80% sure.
Some highlights from Obama’s final speech:
Yeah but it’s not because you were so hopeless. The future is overwhelmingly Republican.
That is a true highlight. I did not expect him to say that. After all he had previously done nothing to stop the idiotic protests.
Yeah right. I don’t know the US stats, however would be surprised if it was any different to Australia where the chance of Muslim joining Islamic State is at least four times greater than them joining the ADF.
LOL. He certainly was – to Republicans.
Good riddance.
I want the golden shower vid released on LiveLeaks.
If you like your plan you keep it
If you mean more than straight people the answer is ‘no’.
Safe schools deems they deserve more respect.
Be patient and wait for zipperhead to post the link. He’s at work and been busy checking out the latest ISIS beheadings vids. As soon as he’s finished he’ll link to the Russian shower.
haha!:
Carl Bernstein’s old comrade Bob Woodward, an editor at the WaPo, might have some ‘splainin’ to do to Bezos.
During the campaign Woodward invested the hours of twenty staffers to turn over every aspect of Trump’s life to dig dirt.
Seems all of them missed The Donald’s alleged predilections for shower parties with hookers ( a notoriously indiscreet cohort where cheque book journalism is concerned ) atop the beds of people he allegedly doesn’t like.
Which one retired British spook allegedly turned up courtesy of numerous undisclosed sources in Moscow – including eyewitness Source D.
Amazing how the entire resources of the WaPo missed it.

Well it’s that time of the month when all us mums start thinking about buying new shoes for ourselves because it’s back to school for the kids who don’t really need new shoes anyway, so I thought I’d just share one of my pearls of experience with the younger generation.
When I was a young Frankenjulie in Transcanberrania being home schooled by my creator, I often wondered what relevance the maths questions would have for my future career. Questions like
”There are 3000 workers and just 1 Blue Asbestos mine, if you buy one new pearl necklace for each victim of Asbestosis ..’ and ‘There are 1.2 million Timorese and just 1 gasfield left to exploit, when it’s exhausted they have no more resources forever. How many kids will die if you take 50%? Express your answer in pearls.’
And my creator would always say ‘Be patient young Frankenjulie I’m training you to do things no true human being would ever do.’ And he was right! Although I had an unconventional genesis it was no bar to joining the Young Liberals on campus and my career was guaranteed!
And I’d just like to take the opportunity to say how unfairly my very special friend Peter Dutton is being treated, Like myself, Peter had an unconventional genesis when the Gorillas revolted and took over from the Chimpanzees on the Planet of the Apes and his youthful apehood was dealt a cruel blow when Charlton Heston shot his father. But did leave him without a skerrick of empathy for humans? Of course it did, but did he ever complain about it? We are such close colleagues that he rang me up one day and and said Frankenjulie I’d like to shave your back for you and I said If you shave my back I’ll shave yours. And we’re so close that we’ve made it a regular habit. What his critics don’t know is how deeply committed Peter is to his beloved Alt Primate Movement, to which he so generously gives his time.
So children, as we all begin to think about new shoes, you may not think that those tricky math questions have any relevance for your future career. But just look at me.
I said, LOOK AT ME!
Squelch, squelch, this thread is decidedly damp, at this rate will have to change from the sloggers to wellies
Muttley, did you draw the short straw to leave the echo chamber or did you do it voluntarily? You are tolerated here because you lack the usual leftard cowardice.
And because your raking is humorous.
The BoM reported air temperatures just after midday today at Homebush Bay, Ryde and Macquarie Park Sydney at over 38 Celsius. At my home within the area defined by those stations the outside air temperature was 31 Celsius. It was a similar story when BoM reported their 41 Celsius Sydney readings.
The modern resistance temperature sensors are not accurate where infrared levels are high. The instruments are regularly calibrated, but with the sensor in a liquid bath where the infrared is not an issue.
When it comes to presidents and lewdness, JFK ordered a teenager to fellate Dave Powers and Bill Clinton ordered Monica Lewinsky to lick his anus. Ted Kennedy required his intern to drown in an Oldsmobile.
For piddlegate aficionados, here’s Twitchy’s thread on the
elutingevolving story.‘How are we going to have an inauguration next week?’ Russians have compromising info on Trump, says source
I haven’t seen any discussion yet about why, if Putin hacked America in order to get Trump elected, that he should be now trying to get him impeached before his inauguration.
But of course the most respect goes to those in receipt of a dirty Sanchez. You know it makes sense.
ABC Obummerlove is still gushing away! Now we get:
Followed by reams of adoring schlock.
There hasn’t been so much mourning since Queen Victoria’s hubby died. They really are distraught over there at the Collective.

Go Trump , GO!
Leo G aircraft going into Mascot north/south. Must be a southerly.
It is starting to look like the greatest media-beclowning hoax of modern times.
Lol JC
ADF maneuvers?
Now raining. Not golden!
Ted Kennedy required his intern to drown in an Oldsmobile.
And she obliged.
It also looks like that dickhead John McCain is involved in this.
Even scientists love fart jokes. I understand completely.
Maybe their ABC means this:
Obama Quietly Hiring New OFA Staff to Fight Trump
Infy, John McCain has now proven beyond doubt that he is as thick as bricks, deceitful, petty, spiteful, vengeful, complicit, naive and abundantly stupid. Funniest of all, lefties believing a neocon.
It also looks like that dickhead John McCain is involved in this.
Yes. Yes it does. Good get,IT.
You,and the rest of us, do newsbreaking better than thousands of highly paid mofos.
Explain. Don’t leave staff like this up in the air.
Meanwhile, in Russia…

No matter how slight, the subtle progress of human evolution towards further refinement always fascinates me. Disappointed I am then, that The Oz announces the arrest of a senior member of The Finks motorcycle gang, without publishing a photo.

Trump is going to be untouchable if this turns out to be hoax.
MSM can’t help itself! Everything’s turning wet!
Protocols of the Elders of Zion, Hitler Diaries and the Trump Dossier.
Next it’ll be the Donald Diaries surface with tales of him secretly drinking and smoking.
Me right now (but with tequila&soda in hand) 🙂
I can’t stop laughing 🙂
Monty – get back here and give us the Golden Showers Update!
This is an interesting tweet because of where it leads.
Everyone seems to have forgotten, that this dude was killed ostensibly by robbers just outside his home.
Assange claims it wasn’t the Russians while the D’rats and their media buddies do.
Meanwhile this death is still unsolved and the robbers left his wallet.
Ah no. You lot did. The story is a lot bigger and has been building for a lot longer than the cockamamie bulldust that 4chan has dreamt up.
Here you go,JC.
Guardian report
Thanks Monster.
Keep fighting the good fight!
Do you have inside information, M0nty? Do tell!
John Schindler is going to ruin his reputation AGAIN over this.
Okay then. One of the main pillars of the story is that Trump’s lawyer met with the Russians in Prague. He’s prepared to show proof he was never there with his passport info.
Fail.
Meanwhile the Russians are supposed to have leaked the emails and Seth Rich’s death remains unsolved. Sure, the story is pretty big, but not the way you think. The dead DNC IT guy’s death is still unsolved. You reckon the Russians killed him too and not the D’rats?
If Assange fingers Rich, the Russian connection is over and there’s going to be a lot of finger pointing as to who would have killed Seth Rich. Personally I wouldn’t go with the future story that Trump had him bumped off because it won’t pass muster, even though you will buy into it.
Um, you’re joking right?
It is like being sarcastic. If you are too good at it and do it all the time, people don’t know if you’re being sarcastic or not.
Prediction. By January 19, Monster will be posting the following word for word.
Its been whored around to every media outfit on earth and they all passed… except buzzfeed!
Don Juan el Trumpo can’t believe his luck.
The Grauniad strikes again! When they’re not claiming that the second largest electorate in NSW is about the size of Parramatta Westfield, they are coyly spreading rubbish about Trump, which they admit they have no corroboration of.
They have form in this department. In the lead-up to the current jihad on press freedom in the UK, they published lies about messages on a murdered girl’s phone, again without proof.
They simultaneously rail against their competition for being unethical and cavalier with facts, while being among the worst offenders.
It used to be that job ads for the government and the BBC were always published in the UK Guardian. I wonder if this is still the case? Leaving aside the inevitable effect on selection, their bottom line would be severely affected if that money flow was cut, and moved to newspapers that large numbers of people actually read.
Don’t be shy, Monty.
Tell us the details of this BIG ‘story.’
Thanks Gunner.
Especially with so many gullible idiots reading this blog.
The man has a gold lift, why not a golden shower?
Story at the Oz about the NSW Greens heading for the Supreme Court on the pre-selection of some swampie of the near left over a swampie of the far left. Greens people really do look like they need a good wash and haircut.
Sarcasm on this blog?
I resemble that!
A lot of people have forgotten, but the Seth Rich story is the big sleeper in all of this.
Fair enough, but if it exists it should really be published direct to redtube or pornhub. Just sayin’.
You idiot, monst. You journalistic boob head.
Russians helped Nixon fabricate Moon landing.
That is indeed a major issue. If he was in Prague, it is all over and Trump is guilty of treason.
As for the Rich stuff, JC, don’t be an idiot.
The Irish fuckwit ,Bono, strikes back at Trump by “delaying a record release
https://www.theguardian.com/music/2017/jan/10/u2-delay-new-album-donald-trump-election
Now THAT will hurt?
The last record Preachy McPreachpants released he had to get Apple to automatically install on everyone’s itunes.
Monty has swallowed piddlegate hook, line and sinker!
Talk about ol’ white man privilege. Bono Bonehead is somewhat lacking in self-awareness
Three possibilities Tom
1. People here believe the CIA did 9/11 (no).
2. People here believe that they can discredit people questioning the credibility of the CIA (no).
3. People here think making a conspiracy theory comment they don’t believe somehow makes the CIA look bad, (most likely (I hope) not their funniest comment, but even Dangerfield couldn’t fire at 100% all the time).
People have been challenged on comments such as wishing for more terrorism for a desired political outcome and they have not disavowed their comments. Maybe doublign down was part of their schtick as well.
WSJ
STFU Monster. It’s over.
BoN,
I have seen that thing about OFA before, but is it credible?
Oh, I don’t doubt that the vain spindly idiot will want to take on someone who threatens his (ahem) legacy. His ego is one of the strangest creatures to have ever snuck in through existence’s back door.
But is he really in any way competent? As a ‘homeless-vote hustler’ is there anything to suggest he is actually good at running things? His signature legislation died in the table. He oversaw, with all the resources of POTUS with brazenly politicised government organs and comically partisan MSM a precipitous decline in his party’s fortunes.
If he ever made any headway the new President needs only to release info on how Obama worked.
And now that the MSM has compromised itself, what else does he have.
The SMH accidentally provided the best comment in the whirlpool of leftie wish fulfilment:
Obama: You’re out.
Trump: Urine.
Ever think that they may learn something from reading this blog?
Well, Piddlegate is not nearly as bad as Cecilgate will be.
it turns out that Trump and his gay lover Putin brutally slaughtercarnagemurdered Cecil the Lion by buggering him to death while in a meth frenzy.
Absolutely true and validated by the Guardian, Monty and Meryl Streep.
Understand 4chan will finish inventing the story within hours. CIA release may take several femtoseconds longer.
What part of Czech law says so?
What about Clinton’s breaches of security?
monty – don’t tell me you have a fetish for show trials and dumping people into the ocean like others here?
4. Beep boop!
LOL. The person most likely to swing by her neck until she is dead, for treason, is Hillary for Benghazi. The second most likely guy to be hung for treason is Barack, for the Iran nuke betrayal and hostage payoff (in small bills on four pallets).
Sure Fisk, say any old shit you like. Anyone who questions it is autistic.
What a load of bollocks.
Oh yes JC, a person accused of treason says he is not guilty, we should all take that as gospel. LOL.
Bono & co had the rewrite their record because it was all about a new era of enlightenment in the US (and the world) following the election of their pal, Hillary.
Oh, well. Back to the drawing board. Perhaps they could get someone from The Smiths or Joy Division to lend a hand with the new lyrics.
Repeating part of excerpt from the WSJ.
This is fucking hilarious. The allegation is suggesting the Russians couldn’t/wouldn’t pay for the Russians hackers themselves and therefore expected the Trump organization to do so.
Sure. Sure.
It’s stupider by the second.
Monst, you’re an idiot. Just a dim bulb.
So far reports on Trump humping in Russia are UNSUBSTANTIATED but CNN and other honest news providers still print.
http://dailycaller.com/2017/01/10/report-russian-operatives-claim-to-have-compromising-info-on-trump/
Wonder why Putin and Russians would prefer Trump over “Reset” Hillary and her email ”
system”?
Today my Paywallian subscription doubled in value when I finally got them to give me the code I needed to get a free subscription to WSJ.com. In my opinion (especially if you’re in business), you’re insane not to be getting this service for $A32 a month when the Fakefacts anti-business daily charges around $A60 p.a. for fake news. I took this action because the WSJ paywall is getting harder to penetrate in my experiences this week. Note: I haven’t worked for News Corp for 30 years.
We’re not, dickhead. We have US intel to say it can’t be confirmed, which means it isn’t true.
Here. WSJ again.
Treason has a precise meaning, monty.
“Providing aid and comfort to enemies in a time of actual/declared” war is the usual common law/civilised definition and close to/verbatim to what the US specifies in the constitution.
Trump could never even be successfully indicted by a grand jury or indicted by a competent prosecutor, let alone impeached or tried by the House and Senate.
You are being delusional.
