    Looks like Ukrainian advances continue, with possible encirclement of Russians in Lyman.
    Whatever your opinion of the rights or wrongs of it (which is the boring aspect, everyone can have an opinion on that) this phase of the war is going against Russia.
    The next phase? Mud again. Then General Winter.

    I suspect the next tilt will be as Russia attempts to mobilise external help to overcome some of the technical disadvantages that have turned the tide recently and a change in tactics to overcome the HARMs. Gotta win in the air.

    Internetting can be very time consuming and there’s simply so much stuff out there to get through. I’m convided out so have no desire to bring you the latest revelations or political bullshit hence just a few memes and occasional comments.

    Shy Ted, thanks.

    I look at it this way: There are alternative media sites that are posting the facts and the truth. Those sites and contributors are making the effort and spending time to find and share the truth with others.

    If I have learnt from them, then I can do my part to share what I know with others. There are many who still don’t realise what is happening in the world. I don’t have to pay for using this blog, but I have this platform to use and share what I have become aware of. Who knows how many others may get a peek into reality from what they read on this blog?

    We have a free site and it is important that those who know and have the facts or news pass it on.

    If those who have high BS meters can spot the BS in the political, MSM and other areas and comment on it, it may help those who are naïve and brainwashed to also realise they are being conned.

    7.3 deaths per million, Phillipines in 2022, post Duerte.
    27.7 deaths per million in Asian region 2014.
    ..
    Look at the numbers above. I can’t easily find like for like data, but those are the best numbers to tell you what happens when you REALLY conduct a war on drugs. Drug deaths get cut in half and in half again. Every scumbag dealer who you blow away saves many, many other lives.
    ..
    Of course, now Duerte has gone, the “international community” will start working away at degrading his legacy and making the Phillipines again safe for scumbags to sell drugs.
    From their ABC:
    ..

    In the final days of his wild and bloody presidency, Rodrigo Duterte was wistful about a few things he had yet to achieve for the Philippines.

    “Before I leave, let’s finish three or five drug lords,” he said.

    “I want to kill them. I do not want them alive.”

    From the moment he was sworn into power in 2016, Mr Duterte declared that Filipinos had one common enemy: the drug trade.

    Claiming that there were 3 million addicts in need of “slaughter”, he said he would offer bounties to police for killing suspected users and dealers.

    A bloodbath ensued.

    I had a bike circuit back in the day. Down to St Kilda beach, South Melbourne, then up the Yarra to Chapel street, over to Orrong Rd and home.
    Along the Yarra in the nob part of town they have all these big, majestic old houses facing the river. Lovely.
    Only I was back there the other day and all these mongs are replacing them with horrible modernist boxes. Same same everywhere. No imagination.

    Some light shed on the character of our pollies, including the Labor leader of Senate + Foreign Minister.

    Such a big deal about indigenous voice to Parliament and yet a senior Labor pollie cannot extend the basic courtesy to a new Senator.

    Jacinta Price reflects on reaction to her maiden speech

    Senator Price said she had managed to crawl under the skin of Foreign Affairs Minister Senator Penny Wong, the leader of the government in the Senate, with her remarks.

    She added Senator Wong had left the chamber without shaking her hand or offering congratulations on her maiden speech as is tradition in Parliament.

    “I can safely say nothing told me I had my message any louder or any clearer than seeing that I had effectively managed to crawl right under the skin of Penny Wong,” Senator Price said.

    “Her bolt from the Senate floor to avoid following Senate tradition mind you, as government Senate leader to shake my First Nations hand and congratulate me on my first speech was a clear indication I thought.”

    I looked into it more and the ‘error message’ refers to Sony Music Enterprises – SME. So my guess is that Sony has a web crawler (algorithm) that searching for the zero one combination (i.e. music) that they own (according to copyright law) and automatically informs Youtube to automatically stop allowing it in certain areas of the world. So it is a form of Artificial Intelligence. My link is still working as I haven’t closed it, so I guess, once you are linked, the web crawler just gives up. Poor thing. What an amazing world. Music is just a combination of zeros and ones in the digital world and that is what Sony has the rights to and can stop you hearing Scott Ritter. You might try a VPN connection, if you are into it.

    https://funker530.com/video/female-lawyer-overpowers-and-disarms-man-with-gun/
    ..

    The woman in this video, who is identified as 27-year-old Nayara Gomes, was shout three times by the attacker, Diego Dorado. In spite of being shot once in the chest, arm, and hand, she continued to fight with her assailant until she gained control of the pistol. She then proceeded to point the pistol at Dorado’s head before changing her mind and throwing it down the stairs.

    “I took the gun and pointed it at his forehead and didn’t pull the trigger. I said: ‘you’re ruining your life’, and threw the gun down the stairs. In my view, no one has the right to take anyone’s life. Even in self-defense. I thought about his family and I didn’t want to carry a death on my back, in my heart,” Gomes told local reporters in January after the incident.

    The longer term debt cycle has turned.
    Debt matters again.
    You can’t just buy shares on shorter term cycles or buy and hold.
    You have to look at individual balance sheets and debt is a company killer from here on.
    Higher interest rates, surging inflation are, in my bet: here to stay for most of this decade.
