Liberty Quote
He who disdains the fall in infant mortality and the gradual disappearance of famines and plagues may cast the first stone upon the materialism of the economists.

By coincidence, Cathy O’Brien claims that George Bush tried to convince her that he was an alien.
What a thoroughly creepy looking individual is that Podesta, Crooked Hillary’s campaign chief. He actually looks like what WikiLeaks seems to suggest he is.
MV has provided enough pieces for you to put it together.
Dr Salaem’s thesis, exposing the welfare system, the LOR, it’s all there if you wanted to piece it together. If not for his conspiracy theory fantasism (and the child abuse conviction I just heard about) he’d be on the side of angels.
A clinton victory means a plibblefilth reign of terror for australia, using exactly the same script doesn’t it?.
Their turnmerkel has shown not a single scrap of capacity or willingness to interfere with the progress of the now borderless transnational pay for play social justice economy.
bwhaha.
Did Super even exist back then, what a visionary!
Fox media just had a lefty on, progressing the meme that:
“it isn’t about Trumps one percent, it is abouit fairness for all Americans.”
Fox will play lefties, but their abc only progresses the narrative of the left. Who are the extreme, blindsighted, unthoughted fanatics?.
Sky business just had an earnest heartbat reciting the narrative that batteries will save social justice electricity from all its problems and shortcomings.
Now we have spent all the money on social justice electricity, we must spend the money on batteries to make it work, if you want to be able to have uninterupted power.
Just as seamlessly as the left switched from “we will never fill the MCG” to “We have come so far, there is no way back from socialist voteherds now”, their left switches from “just build social justice power” to “you have to pay for social justice batteries to have electricity in your home there is no way back to the old grid now”.
The fundemental transformation of victoria, once Nazgul andrews dynamites the coal powered plants, will be truly toryproofed.
There is no way back, once the dynamite goes off, resistance is futile.
Everybody in their inner economy has solar panels [ outer economy subsidised] and just wait for their tesla powerwall battery subsidy.[outer economy subsidised]
Not to provide any links or names but one such reference in a now out of print publication states:
In 1987 he predicted Aboriginal revolution:
The real weapons for the Great Black Revolution arrived quietly in WA some months ago. 7,000 AK47 Russian assault rifles, plus ammunition. These were shipped in on false documents prepared by Fuller Firearm Group of … Sydney. Transfer of funds was arranged through Mr. Laurie Connell’s Merchant Bank, Rothwells and they are currently … stored … around various warehouses owned by Mr. Alan Bond.
There’s no shame in being wrong… but lying about it?
The Cat is no place for lies.
Everyone makes mistakes. For instance I was disbelieving that Turnbull would sacrifice the Liberal Party for his own PM and RET ambitions, and that so many of the right would applaud his coupe (at least initially).
I once believed that Trump would never be President. Here’s hoping I’m wrong again.*
MV own up to your mistakes, these experiences only help sharpen your future predictions.
If you don’t learn from these mistakes you’ll only be stuck repeating them and that path leads to further crazed conspiracies such as moon landing and 911 truther conspiracies.
*Yes, Trump has a lot of policies that stink but Clinton has adopted some of the worst of his anti-trade rhetoric and none of his glorious border (both wall and derkas ban) securing goodness.
I guess I’ll be buying a generator or two, except they require hydrocarbons, which will be banned next, doh.
Maybe an old ww2 wood gasifier is the go…. nope cutting trees down will banned…doh
Oh well welcome to the stone age via rolling black outs, until the power stays off permanently.

Michael Ramirez introduces Week in Pictures: Richard Milhouse Hillary edition. It’s truly a collectors edition with more zingers than you can shake a Crooked stick at.
He is angling for a high position in government, he is on Obama’s original vetted list as released by WikiLeaks.
Yes, John.
Tuesday is kind of important.
Human history is at a fork in the road.
Superb posting by you this morning. It’s appreciated.
Actually that’s probably a feature not a bug.
Unless nations have control over who comes and goes from their respective nation, voters support for immigration in general and for free trade will continue to plummet.
For example see the masterful way Howard boosted skilled migration while stopping the boats (strangely without causing a war with Indonesia) and crushing Pauline’s One Nation.
Or Abbott’s similar feat with the boats and massive massive early successes in signing off on free trade deals with all and sundry.
Compare this with the EU cesspool, where Merkel has let in millions of unskilled migrants and Italy has played the role of their Indonesia unabated and without censor for decades, rescuing 100,000s of ‘refugees’ and channeling them through to the welfare states of France and England. Brexit succeeded based on angst against immigration (esp given the migrant driven terrorism attacks in France) and support for Trump stems not just due to his plain speaking ways but his wall and promises to restrict muslim migration.
Work colleagues who hail from there are dead against oriental Asian migration to Australia, when pressed for details as to why – they bring up the examples of ‘asians’ in the UK their welfarism, sex slave trafficking scandals and terrorism.

Tesla powerwall has a payback period of 24 years.
Paul McGeough finally topples over the edge:
The US election is rigged, and here’s the proof.
I thought it had a lifetime of 8 years or thereabouts? That Choice article seems to have forgotten to mention this, or the likely fall in capacity over the battery life.
So has politico magazine, as quoted in the above post, come out and said openly that their open borders is about recruiting an eternally socialist voting demographic?.

Abbott was on the ropes, largely due to all of his Leftoid appeasement measures, but we weren’t aware of this noxious creature’s internal destabilising which only Credlin? brought out?
The line outside Tim Kaine’s latest campaign appearance:

I love those! Gotta love the enthusiasm 3 days before the biggest election of all time.
Compare to the crowds that Trumps children get in their campaign stops.
Septimus, I’m amazed you’re still here, when even the blog owner things you’re a numpty fuckwit:
Glad to see you here srr.
I was worried you might have died of natural causes or from a robbery where nothing was taken.
McGeough is writing Fakefacts’ suicide note. Next year it will be a activist website in the process of getting out of newspaper publishing. In a decade, it will be remembered like Ansett: another crap company with a defective business plan that killed it.
I had no idea of the whiting anting and of how much of Abbott’s weird backflipping was due to Turdball and the influence of other’s like him in the LNP.
BUT we all knew from Turnbull’s past performance as opposition leader, as a minister and his voting habits (carbon tax, banning lightbulbs questioning the need for border control) that no matter the question the answer wasn’t Turnbull.
Not to excuse Abbott for being a big spending, big government conservative, but Turnbull was always going to be much worse.
But da heavy metals?
Tesla’s virtue signalling requires noxious high temp incineration in the product lifecycle.

Dems thwarted again.
Has a 10 year warranty. Basically nothing but expensive insurance against a short-term power outage.
Bolt channels Credlin about possible Aussie Trumps. This is wishful thinking. Trump is a billionaire, not beholden for funds from any party machine. He has extensive networks and a big foot within the political class but due to his financial independence is not bound by the political correctness of that class. He is also courageous and a brilliant speaker. He is a focus point for the discontent with the progressive agenda which is really only a facilitator for tyrannical forces, Islamic or otherwise.
These are unique qualities. There is no one in America let alone little old Australia who has this ability. If he doesn’t win the regressive left will continue on its inexorable path of destruction of the West.
So now an essential buy in all Australian states run by the ALP and LNP cucks alike?
Turned their Insiders on.
Three dribbling leftards, a junkie who allegedly likes humping veal and an accused rapist, all of whom had no problems at all with Craig Thompson, killing people with pink batts of killing 4000 boat people all waxing hysterical about someone who allegendly knocked off a $7 key.

Oh look, the 29th Annual Swap meet’s on at Epic. Hmm. might be a carby kit there I need for a rat rod.

Oco,
Re you 3:49 diatribe….
I dare, no i double dare you to put the exact phrase “in australia my voice identifies me” into your favourite search engine, look at the top 6 or so results, i would not call dealing with the federal government at any level ‘matters of no great import’.
I am no conspiracy theorist, however all technology can and wll be misused. Atm facial recognition does not work with any huge accuracy execpt under controlled conditions ie passport control , perfect lighting , perfect distance etc, but as it gets better tracking crowds for faces will be carried out. As microphones are a damned sight smaller and cheaper to deploy …
Turnbull will ensure they are bailed out with tax payer funds.

I am student of the great Catallaxy.
I am somewhat confused with slide no 7.
Is SRR an elderly Ukrainian woman who is pro-Russian, or an elderly Serbian man who has lived in Australia most of his life?
A couple of lefty activists that both cash abc paychecks may well see nothing wrong with virtue signalling by installing a new tesla powerwall every few years.
The same activists are deadset keen on removing the social licence of the rural serfs to murder trees for firewood from ‘The Kings Forest’.
All is fair, the serfs can get a subsidy for their tesla powerwall just the same as the inner economy members can, just pay up front then apply for some money back.
Let them burn cake for warmth.
He’s a queer buggar, isn’t he.
Trawling YouTube during the week I came across a video of Trump going way back and his interest in politics and policy. Seems he’s been going at it for a couple of decades or so and been pretty consistent in what he’s had to say.

Social justice panels and social justice batteries don’t give you electricity in a social justice blackout, it seems that you need extra social justice hardware as well if you expect the social licence to turn on a light in event of sudden social justice.
Indonesia on high alert for Nov 4 protest against Jakarta governor
…
Thousands of hardliners from outside Jakarta are expected to arrive in the capital to protest against Jakarta governor Basuki Tjahaja Purnama for alleged blasphemy.
They are demanding that authorities prosecute Mr Basuki, also known by his nickname Ahok, following claims that he insulted Islam after criticising opponents who used Quranic references to attack him ahead of the February gubernatorial election.
Ahok has apologised for the statement, but for some hardliners, this is not enough.
I just read a post on RVF which was lifted from /pol on reddit.
The Wikileaks emails seem to point to a renewable energy angle for gaining $ and power,especially in small island nations, for the Clintons through partnership with General Electric.

How much real estate do those Tesla AAA batteries that people are talking about occupy and are they as big an eyesore as solar panels? I fully appreciate that for SJW’s some things can be beautiful in their ugliness, especially if they signal virtue.
That is some serious brain atrophy, right there, Septimus

Ha – I saw that,Stimps.
He knows about all the shady stuff in Hollywood. He bailed to Africa for a year to get away from it.
We could have batteries to even out the recharge cycle for the batteries. Simple.
Again, the important thing that Charles Ortel raises here, is that we DON’T need some corrupt US government mob to decide to take these crooks down, but even a foreign State or citizens, have the power to do so.
Also, Julie Bishop, as Foreign Minister of a Foreign Nation that is one The Clinton’s Biggest Payers, SHOULD be gunning for them on our behalf … except she isn’t because she’s one of those who was so happy and proud to hand The Crooked Clinton’s so much of Our Money … so she could keep playing with the scum … oh, and as an actually tough and successful Lawyer for big business, she can’t claim too dumb to understand what what what, like Gillard possibly was ….

Crowd shocked that a comedian went after the Democrat.
The rest is brutal. You have to be black to hammer trannies and homosexuals like that.
The supposed “blasphemy” is just that the Governor happens to be Christian and there’s this religious instruction which says no Muslim may tolerate a non-Muslim to rule over them. The Governor attempted to argue against the literal interpretation and now is facing accusations of “blasphemy”… but if he had said nothing they would still be protesting against him. The real problem is lack of tolerance for any other religion.
Hi all
HELP

Still chasing fire, Zulu, but Captain says (from old fred)
ZK2A I asked Captain and he said he thought the post was on the side of (not the top) Castle Hill Townsville, which in those days would have been a bit out. He tells me the yanks also had a listening post near Townsville – the source of much contraband. MiL got on well with the bosses, she was a striking girl, slim with almond green eyes, olive skin and masses of hair and she tells a few tales of deals being done, one involving a whole dead pig supplied by jeep in the dead of night.
Were any of the surviving staff interviewed for the book?
Dweezy;
Used to read The Telegraph quite a lot. In fact it was just about the last newspaper I ever bought.
No more.
Get my news from The Cat and its links.
btw, about this –
Shorter version of the comment that the cat ate – Julie Bishop was actually a smart, tough, ruthless, successful Lawyer, but as a politician, still signed away Our Money to The Clinton Crime Cartel so she could keep playing with them and be an even tougher, more ruthless and more successful Politician.
Oh, and The American Law that The Clinton’s broke with their Foundation, means that even We The People of Australia, can go after them for their crimes … rather telling that our Foreign Minister, Julie Bishop (who signed us up to handing them millions), has chosen to attack Trump and the Trumpster’s instead.
Suicide doors for the ’39 Ford ratrod are go!

The supposed “blasphemy” is just that the Governor happens to be Christian and there’s this religious instruction which says no Muslim may tolerate a non-Muslim to rule over them.
Thanks Tel. ABC news is careful not to mention the bit about not allowing non-Muslims to rule Muslims.
Heard a recent speech on ABC Newsradio (only FM I could get enroute) and thought it masterful.
Stuck in a cafe that had only the SMH, I read a piece by McGeogh that even by Cat standards was weird. But, contra to CL at 9.oo am, he is right to say that Obama was attempting to quieten his own supporters who were drowning out the lone old guy Trumpster. That’s clear when you look at the audience behaviour shown 0n the tape. Obama does deserve some respect, while Clinton is heavily into the negative. Noel Whittaker, in today’s Canberra Times, writes that it was Bill Clinton – with his “everybody must have a loan for a house” – who laid the basis for the GFC. Where was Hillary when he devised this policy?
Cohenite at 9.34 – well said!
Tailgunner at 11.27. The thuggery one expects, but the quiet acceptance of what happened in front of them is a bit terrifying.
Trump is a fluent and witty speaker. What I hope to see is he and Turnbull go head to head, even if they largely agree with one another.
The sad thing is that you wouldn’t have had to trawled YouTube if you didn’t scroll by who the liars tell everyone to scroll by, because from the beginning of cat interest in the man, we’ve been posting those old videos and making the case that the only buffoons in this epic story, are those who didn’t respectfully take Trump seriously, considering all that was so well know about his consistency of character, achievement and steadily progressing direction.
The debate as to whether he does actually see around corners and into the future, because he is actually a time traveller, is purely a bit for fun for those of us who don’t really have to know how he does It, but are truly grateful that he Does. 😉
Australia, it is the near future.
You enter your self driving electric car and turn it on biometrically.
“in australia my voice identifies me”.
You tell it to take you down the pub.
“Mr Constantine, it is too early in the morning for beer, besides you have an appointment with The Department of Tolerance in an hours time” says the pleasant artificial intelligence.
“Fuck ’em, I’m going down the pub instead”.
“Your social licence to use the road system has been revoked for all routes except the one to The Department of Tolerance, until you attend and are accredited as successfully re-educated” says the artificial intelligence just as pleasantly.
“Fuck ’em, I’m gonna walk down the pub.”
Electric self driving car locks doors and smoothly swings out into the traffic stream, on its way to The Department of Tolerance, pleasantly informing its passenger that pubs are no use to people whose social licence to access the electronic credit system of payments has been withdrawn, pending successful re-education.
“There, aren’t you sorry that you posted all those deplorable things on that deplorable catallaxy now?.”
“Go on, take me to the damn Department of Tolerance then, all me mates are down there already anyway.”

What I hope to see is he and Turnbull go head to head, even if they largely agree with one another.
Has Turnbull said anything “hurtful/unfair” about Trump?? Please let it be so…I’d love to see Trump Jeb! Malcolm in front of the cameras!
So much to look forward to after Jan 20th!
John Constantine, Diogenes: and as I said last night, it shouldn’t surprise anyone – nor is it particularly visionary to predict – that voice recognition technology will be used for identification purposes by the government in future. It’s also not surprising or visionary to be concerned about the potential for it to be misused. I have read about concerns regarding biometric ID technology for more than a decade.
😀
funny, coz it’s also joked that Trump-like mate controls the weather … 😉 … 😆
Trump’s been deemed a “Revolting Slug” by Turnbull’s home state parliament. Love to see someone having to answer to the POTUS for that little official diversion.
Gunner, I know it’s not traditionally much to expect a leader of our government to retain a diplomatic silence regarding the democratic machinations of a foreign ally, but we’ve sunk that low in recent times. Turnbull, to his credit, has responsibly stayed silent. The ALP and Greens – plus the NSW parliament – lamentably have not.
Already used by mygov, MV and I have both mentioned in the past that “In Australia, my voice identifies me” as for misuse, it is just another thing. Government already has access to most of your personal data, it just has to break it’s own existing laws to access them for the ‘wrong reasons’.

Turnbull, to his credit, has responsibly stayed silent.
Sad that’s now something to be lauded.
I’d love him to do a Bush and visit our parliament. And troll TF out of those on the left here that have spoken against him. And Julie Bishop.

Have you walked back last evening’s revelation or am I missing something?
This article explains a bit more:
https://www.yahoo.com/news/indonesian-islamic-hardliners-protest-christian-governor-104230256.html
So the way it works: first they use the Koranic verse to try and show this guy cannot be Governor. Then, when he disagrees, he must be a “blasphemer” and therefore they should kill him. Later on journalists just skip the details and simply report him as accused of blasphemy, which is understood by “Progressives” to mean someone guilty of thought crime.
Kind of similar process to the way the Democrats were throwing accusations at Trump.
They will be absolutely shitting themselves if he wins. Out of all the reasons you’d want a Trump victory, the effect it’ll have on the left has to be right up there. Petty, I know. But by crikey it’d be delicious.
Holy Shit – Trump rushed on stage in Reno, SS to the rescue. Early reports of a gun???
I’ll be back
Is there a livestream,srr??
BREAKING: Secret Service rush Donald Trump off the stage in Reno, Nevada
https://mobile.twitter.com/ditzkoff/status/795069623284756481/video/1
Mentioned by me too in the same discussion. I will add that the iiNet Support contact number now also asks if you wish to identify by your voice.
He came back on stage.
Whatever.
Do they do metal detectors at these rallies?
It’s amazing that hasn’t happened more often to both sides.
I love seeing the Secret Service in action. (Remember Gillard and the lost shoe?)
Thanks to Stimpton for steering me to the weekly New York Observer (published by Trump’s son-in-law), which, in its current edition, has picked up by far the best piece (>3500w) I have read on the corruption of the US media, the Clinton Foundation and the Washington establishment by Ken Silverstein, publisher of the excellent Washington Babylon website, which I have just added to my favourites (no formatting because stupid fucking spaminator):
This Election Has Disgraced the Entire Profession of Journalism
We still don’t know the outcome of the 2016 election, in which our “democratic process” has produced two candidates widely despised by the American people, but we do know the race’s biggest loser: reporters and the profession of journalism, which has been reduced to surrogacy, largely on behalf of Hillary Clinton.
Before going further, let me state that my own politics are on the left but I won’t be voting in this election. Both parties have collaborated to rig the system so that’s it’s virtually impossible for an independent candidate to compete given the financial and institutional hurdles that have been put in place to block such a possibility. We live in an oligarchy where democracy is virtually meaningless; I’m not debasing myself by participating in this charade.
Several studies rank electoral integrity in the United States as the worst among Western democracies — for example, the one discussed here — and this year’s campaign has made the United States an international embarrassment. I’ve personally witnessed elections in Africa and Latin America that had more legitimacy than the charade that will culminate here next Tuesday. The idea of the United States lecturing foreign countries about holding fair elections has long been dubious and is now grotesque.
We have two unbelievably shitty candidates, neither of whom is fit to lead the country. Donald Trump is a reckless narcissist who, as his debate performances indicated, cannot string together more than two sentences, let alone articulate a coherent vision for the country’s future. His remarks about women, Latinos and African-Americans are reprehensible and, whether he believes his own statements or is merely trying to stir up anger for his electoral benefit, have emboldened people who hold retrograde and genuinely scary views.
Then there is Hillary Clinton, who has been in public life for decades and who grows more and more unpopular upon exposure —and for good reason. Whatever one thinks of the so-called “Servergate” scandal —and I personally find it troubling that she put classified information on a private server that was almost certainly obtained by foreign intelligence services — she stonewalled and lied to the FBI during its investigation, which has now been reopened. She and her family run a foundation that aggressively solicited donations from corporations, wealthy individuals and foreign governments that have interests before the government, and in some cases Clinton, as secretary of state, took actions that can only be seen as quid pro quo for big donors. These facts alone should disqualify her from political life and make her the legitimate target of criminal investigations.
…
It appears there may be a few late Democratic defectors but Clinton is surrounded by a core group of amoral supporters who, like her and her husband, lie without remorse or shame and with such conviction that it appears they don’t know the difference between fact and fiction. The truth is utterly irrelevant to the Clinton crowd, as are the issues. All that matters is winning — as seen in their rigging of the DNC to ensure Hillary’s nomination — and their continued ability to exploit public office for private gain.
It’s even less likely that the media, especially major outlets and Washington political reporters who have all but openly worked on Clinton’s behalf, will rethink their roles. This election has exposed as never before that there is indeed a media elite, bound together by class and geography, that is utterly clueless about its own biases and filters. A vast number of journalists covering the presidential campaign are economically privileged brats that seem blissfully unaware that for most Americans, the economy is in recession and people are terrified.
If you don’t understand that, you can’t understand Trump. That an addled, reckless, dangerous billionaire is the last electoral hope to tens of millions of Americans may be a sad reflection of the complete breakdown of our political system, but it doesn’t make Trump’s appeal to a significant chunk of the electorate illegitimate nor does it make all of his supporters irrational morons and racists, as one gathers from news accounts and liberal pundits.
Calling all cucks!
Hey guys, I’m a wild red head woman.
I’ve been hiding.
Do my homework for me.
🙄
Globalist lackey tries to assassinate Trump.
Trump! “They’ll never stop us,never,never!!”
It’s amazing that hasn’t happened more often to both sides..
You’re a disgrace, Monty.
The time to rise against these [email protected] is NOW!
GO TRUMP!! We can’t be stopped!
Assassins are nearly always Leftists trying to take down anti-communist politicians.
That one was funny. The Trump thing could have been a little worrying because, as we know, Crooked’s supporters are extremely violent.
I loved the Slapper event because the AFP guys were dragging her around like a rag doll.
just read that and my puter decides to have a spas :angry:
Remember that the whole thing was a false flag set up by Gillard’s office. They incited the riot in order to make Abbott look like a “racist”. Never forget Gillard peeking at the cameras when she was talking to Abbott in the cafe, it was so obvious!
Video,sound not working for me?
Tone, Sookylala. 😉
99.5% of the time it’s leftists.
They tried to pin the Kennedy killing on The Right, as though Oswald’s ideological background didn’t exist.
What a clown.
I would think someone who advances conspiracy theories has a twisted mind and hence I won’t trust a word from them.
I know who you have in mind but not sure how you made the association.
It is amazing! But for some reason it keeps happening to Trump yet not Hillary. I have no idea what to make of this phenomenon, and I’m not going to think any more about it, either. As I said last night: move along, nothing to see here, please disperse!
Megyn Kelly was in the front row?
Oswald took numerous trips to the Soviet Union, was trained/educated there, married a Soviet citizen, learned Russian and I think had even been to Cuba.
But the media blamed the assassination on ill-defined “hate” in Texas, a blue state. The contortions they needed to go through to do that are quite impressive.
I recall too clearly. She made sure she was in front of a live camera every time she suggested they should “help Tony”.
The Cat picked that up immediately.
Those were the times when the Cat was great, Fisky.
Lets make Catallaxy great again.

JC was the first one to work out that it was J. Gillard’s mates up to tricks and not exactly spontaneous. She really was a piece of work.
jc being modest .
Why the fuck was this screwball allowed to return to the US?
How is that “contra” me?
He was yelling at his own supporters. That’s the joke.
Sorry Monster, but we now have confirmed proof that your side are violent, death mongering satanic pedofiles.
You need to abandon this depravity. You are a good man with small children and a nominal Catholic.
The Kopechne murder? Ted was a Lefty.
Candy
I can sniff shit out like that at 100 miles upwind. It was so amateurish too.
What no hat tip to ‘and friends’ Johnson?
Let me save you some pixels.
“You’re one, no you’re one, no you’re one”
or does
“I know you are but what am I?”
work better?
Yeah, I know – the Gillard incident was really just her attempt to get at Abbott over race relations. But I admire the way protective personnel cover their man like that, putting themselves in the firing line. There’s so much ugliness in politics, it’s good to see some noble qualities. And Crooked Hillary supposedly treats hers like dirt.
coz I’m not sexist, I can say it’s a pity she’s woman, now, when we’ve had so many f’ed’ up one’s remind us of why a Good woman Is Rare.
As to her inheritance, well, like her father’s start, it’s what she did with it that qualifies her as deserving of the respect of a blue collar worker; they didn’t sit on their laurels, but worked, worked hard to plant more laurel groves for everyone up for the contest 😉
But then, just as DJT has many loyal friends much richer than he, I’m sure Gina wouldn’t be short of Trump-like friends worthy of her backing.
LOL. You forgot the lizard people and the chemtrails.
Your concern trolling is duly noted, IT.
Jacques – call the FBI – Putin’s hacked the hamsters!
IT is right, monst.
Indeed. It was a Fredo moment.
Bill Maher – yeah we called every GOP candidate a fascist, Hitler, etc, but this time it’s serious!

The National Enquirerisation of the Cat is somewhat disappointing. You lot spent a lot more time excoriating MV yesterday for some minor technical debating point than you did figuring out if Hillary really was a witch.
Chicago Dems again.
yeah, likewise for me on that link, but it was on a live feed, but my puter is still spazzing out, so …
I mean, you lot used as evidence that Hillary was a blood-guzzling witch that her CoS’s brother knows a freaky performance artist who was once photographed holding a goat head. You have completely given up on anything resembling the truth.
Maher is a clown. His crying now because shit just got real.
Fucked if I know, Sookylala. You going for Johnson now? I thought you were a Trumpster. 😉
Incredible story leaves me incredulous.
The MO is just amazingly the same.
Rotherham comes to Blacktown
Dude, they’re fucking weird. The so called performance artist is a satanist. Stay away from and support Trump.
Trump is God. Crooked is Lucifer’s rep on earth.
Monst
Don’t force me to call an exorcist for you.
Some current Breitbart headline to consider, considering ….
JC, have you instructed your daughter to vote for Trump now?
Louis CK, appearing on Conan O Brian, gives the most anti-Hillary endorsement of Hillary imaginable.
He says he’s totally behind Clinton 100 percent – then moves from being vaguely nice to trashing her; while explaining that all these terrible things about her are good things.
“…and she’s not in jail, which is amazing!”
Conan O Brian (sarcastically): “you’ve really changed my mind, I was all in for Trump.”
Oohh, I get it, Sooky – you did a Dick joke — ha ha. Sledgehammer subtlety there – heh. 😉
Of course DB.
She doesn’t have to be a ‘witch’, monty. Connections to people whose hobbies are Satanism and sex with children is more than enough.
Comes?
Been there, and all over the bloody country, for yonks.
Who the fuck do you think have been so keen to import all those ‘Rotherham‘ types in the first place, besides those in desperate need of diversions of public awareness of their own, child sex (and worse) trading, businesses 👿 😡
???
Srr thanks for the (usual) unwarranted and illogical abuse. You and grigory are obviously besties.
I was referring to the fact that the girl was in an out of home care facility which was the case for most of the Rotherham victims.
And I’s sure you’re right, that all the progressives and ignorant of islam do-gooders, imported muslims to cover up their own depredations.
Because encouraging islamic immigration reflects so well on them as well.
… we coulda been a contender … 🙁
A related aside to this –
In only one year, the serious crime stats for my whole patch would have been 110% higher if … ahh, never mind … Life is Good 🙂
Sooky – you should eschew such delusions. Recent history says so.
Oh for God’s sake, please, go back to waxing lyrical about gregorian chants … 🙄 … I was posting about the trafficking and murder of State Wards when you churchian mobs were preaching against us for not being pleasant enough to commune with.
Attempted assassin confirmed as #NeverTrump Republican. All NeverTrump Republicans must be questioned by police at once!
Seriously, wtf was that “Whatever”, in reply to?
I scrolled back and only saw a busted loser throwing their hands up.
Did I miss a worthwhile point your dismissiveness was supposed be making?
Weapon free this time. more or less
interesting in view of the current migrantion into Europe
Hey, remember Julia Gillard’s “Elite of The Media” …
😉 🙂

m0nty has a whinge about concern-trolling then immediately commences concern-trolling. Not big on self awareness is our m0nts.
Oh really? I do recall personally posting some similar allegations about sex rings in Sheppaton and Dandenong that were supposed have been investigated by the Victorian government.
You, however, seem to think yourself an oracle, and the only one.

Wasn’t it yesterday someone posted police advise to run away if you saw a gang of … men in Dandenong?
And in other older Dandenong news
Victoria Police has set up a taskforce to investigate a gang of Afghani men in Dandenong suspected of preying on teens in care.
Lets just ignore the thousand and one reasons people are afraid in Dandenong and wear a symbol of servitude. Does that request extend to men who identify as women btw?

Cl – when you opened with “Paul McGeough finally topples over the edge”, I thought you implied that the three points he made and you quoted illustrated this claim. His points 2 and 3 certainly do. I withdraw the ‘contra’ however given that you say you quoted the passage to illustrate a joke. I thought that what Obama did – in this very specific instance – was credible.
Have you walked back last evening’s revelation or am I missing something?
Let’s just assume I was psychotic and got carried away. It’s the most likely explanation.
F?cking delusions of reference.
?
I don’t think you have grasped the weakness in your Kevin Bacon intellectual position, Dash.
That’s because most people aren’t stupid enough to waste even a second with pumped up and puffed liars, once they’re shown to be just that, while they’ll turn to even the most mocked and denigrated, once they see the truth of why the liars lie about them.
Local TV outlet calls Nevada for Clinton already, not just the presidential vote but also the Senate and House races, based on early voting patterns from the 53% of the electorate which have already voted. Trump would have to win the votes cast on election day by double digits, in a state whose polls are about neck and neck. Latino turnout is up 30% already. The Chupacabra Vote is real.
Hillary’s reaction to Trump assassination attempt.
Also currently being used separately by the ATO, Centrelink, Vet Affairs and Human Services that I know of. The DTO is currently negotiating its migration to the private banking/ investment sector, and also working on using it in an integrated digital passport system, with the UK, the USA, and Canada. That’s why the phrase starts with “In Australia . . . “
As I’ve pointed out before, once it’s up and running in the next couple of years, not only will they know who you are, but also where you are, what you are doing, and who you’re doing it with. The ultimate Big Brother surveillance system tracking you in real time.
HAAAAAAAAhahahahahaha!
I mean really, if you’re sourcing 4chan now, you might as well delete your account, you’ve given up on sanity.
It appears the assassin was a Hillary supporter who attempted to kill Trump by raising a sign.
Supporters thought it was a gun.
False alarm folks.
Keep calm and MAGA!
SRR,
I think I am leaning towards the Monty position re the child exploitation stuff.
Position against believing anonymous 4chan reddit:
If these people had anything they should have put it out already.
It is already Nov 6 in NYC – so they miss another deadline losing a lot of credibility.
Position for believing:
There were a bunch of pics released through one of these reddit boards that showed photos allegedly from Epstein Island. So they may have photos etc. Not explicit but old men with young girls, some looked under age to me. But there is no way of knowing where and when they were taken. If they do have photos or evidence they need to release them immediately.
🙂
Another contribution from the ultimate nanny state that is Australia:
Life jackets mandatory for rock fishers
Australian Associated Press
Life jackets will be mandatory for rock fishers on a dangerous stretch of the Sydney coast, the NSW government has announced.
The 12-month trial aims to increase safety on the 29km coastline in Randwick Council where 17 people have died from rock fishing in the past decade.
It has the highest rate of rock fishing drownings in the state.
Minister for Emergency Services David Elliott will introduce the Rock Fishing Safety Bill 2016 into parliament this week to take effect on December 1.
“Rock fishing is one of Australia’s deadliest pastimes, and of the 10 people who died in NSW in 2015-16 not one was wearing a life jacket,” Mr Elliott said in a statement on Sunday.
The move has been welcomed by Randwick Mayor Noel D’Souza.
“I believe that compulsory life jackets is a sensible next step and an important part of the solution to increase safety for rock fishers,” Mayor D’Souza said in a statement on Sunday.
Rock fishers in the area will be given a one year grace period before the new law is enforced with a $100 fine.
The legislation comes after a 2015 coronial inquiry into the deaths of eight rock fishers in NSW recommended the use of mandatory life jackets.
From the Oz – no link – complete article posted
Rock fishers in the area will be given a one year grace period before the new law is enforced with a $100 fine.
If it is such a life saving device, why isn’t it manditory NOW.
yeah, it’s a comfortable position, except for the children … and, after what psychologically, physically and spiritually gutting babies and children in such ways, does to society in general, over generations.
But before you can reject the reality of it, first, you have to find that all the different cases, of tens of thousands of child and baby rape images and live, rape-to-order videos, busted around the world, didn’t happen.
It’s a global industry, providing for a global market, and those who dominate supply for all specific tastes, make a killing.
We live in an age when abortion is celebrated, After Birth ‘abortion’, violently defended, and Big Baby Parts touted as a legitimate branch of the ‘advancement’ in health sciences … and legal child ‘euthanasia’, a ‘human right’ … and all this brought to us by the same circles of educated, respected professionals who’ve brought us “Safe Schools” and “gender transitioning” as Government backed and promoted industries.
It’s also no secret that those same circles of people include those who have long campaigned for children to have sex with anyone at any age, as ‘their human right’.
The capacity for human depravity and cruelty is not in dispute, nor the all consuming lust for boundless power.
Indeed, when we put all the known known’s together, the only thing shockingly unbelievable is that the reality of the depth of depravity that humanity has sunk to, is still in dispute at all.
Life jackets will be mandatory for rock fishers on a dangerous stretch of the Sydney coast
A stretch of beach in NSW today, an Oz wide law tomorrow, (especially when there’s $100 fine for those who dare to disobey.)
Does Nanny have a specific definition for ‘rock fishing’? I’ve seen exposed beaches with the occasional rock here and there that are signposted with warnings of rips and freak waves etc, but despite the potential for danger, they’re not really what I would call rock-fishing areas.
OTOH, ‘my fishing rock’ is to the left of a rocky cove opposite our house. I crawl over rocks to get there and occasionally, when the summer n/easterly picks up, I’ll get my feet wet from an errant wave. It’s definitely rock fishing, but definitely without the danger*.
*Unless one is stupid enough to go during a winter storm when one’s own eyes can see that the cove is a boiling cauldron and ‘my rock’ is completely submerged.
Was wondering why posts have been light this afternoon. “Lovely spring Sunday arvo,” thinks I. “Everyone’s out visiting or carousing and having fun. Good thing, too! Far too many lovely days are wasted at this site.”
Then slowly, truth dawns: NEW FRED! And I’m left behind.
I’m talking to myself. Fine! At least there won’t be any disagreements.
Nice header, but.
Any chance of some mood music for us happy loners?
Muttley thinks that despite tolerating a rapist in the white house, Americans will baulk at the idea of a president who parked the odd beauty contestant.
