    Saw an interesting video on the defeat of the Somalia pirates . UAE paid for the training of a local police force. The 60 min documentary is quite graphic. It shows the interconnections of tribal societies, as the police were telling the pirates what they were about to do. The head pirate’s solution was just to shoot a foreigner and everyone would go home.

    Clayton Morris (Redacted News) talks about the Russian attack on the NATO command centre in western Ukraine with one of their Kinzhal missiles. These are hypersonic (Mach-12) missiles which can’t be shot down and they carry a very deadly payload.

    This missile attack was in retaliation for a Ukrainian attack on a Russian village just inside the Russian border which killed and injured some civilians and burned down some houses.

    An estimated 300 senior NATO military personnel were killed in the underground bunker and they were mainly Polish, US and UK high ranking military officers. This hasn’t been mentioned in the MSM, and is probably the reason for NATO’s Secretary General’s recent visit to Kiev, to organise the return of the remains of the deceased to their families.

    Clayton doesn’t mention the US response to this attack which occurred the following day; two US B-52 bombers which carry nuclear weapons flew down the Baltic Sea towards St. Petersburg, they were intercepted by Russian fighter jets so they changed course and flew back to Germany. This is just a bit of sabre rattling but the Russian attack has unnerved many NATO countries.

    It’s over and NATO is finished | Redacted with Clayton Morris – 16 minutes.

    Here’s a thought….

    During the Covid “pandemic”, quarantine camps were built all over Australia which could house many thousands of people. Was the pandemic used as a cover for other purposes?

    America has said that it will go to war with China in 2025, Australia being a nation of suckers will join America in that war.

    How will Australia stop a fifth column of Chinese-Australian citizens from sabotaging Australia from within when Australia goes to war with China? We have 1.4 Million Australians who have Chinese ancestry, and 600,000 residents born in China (some of whom are probably included 1.4 Million census figure?).

    Where will these people be interned when hostilities begin?

    Will the quarantine camps re-emerge as internment camps?

    Reports from several sources say that Ukrainian forces to the east of Bakhmut have gone on strike and refuse to go into Bakhmut. The Russian forces recently took control of the sealed road from Chasiv Yar to Bakhmut, and the Ukrainians have been trying to recover control of the road using human wave attacks, all of which have resulted in mass deaths and failure.

    The Ukrainians in Chasiv Yar and other nearby towns have refused orders to go on pointless attacks, the Ukrainians should have abandoned Bakhmut many weeks ago.

    If this revolt spreads through the army then the war will be over. Other sources are saying that large numbers of Ukrainians are not only surrendering to the Russian forces, but that they are also joining the Russians to fight against the Zelensky regime.

    The frontline Ukrainian forces are predominately Russian and Hungarian speaking Ukrainians who were rounded up and forced into the war against their will. The Galician Ukrainians, the Azov Battalion and associated units, form the blocking units behind them to shoot any Ukrainian soldier who leaves their post. The unfortunate conscripts choose to go forward and surrender to the Russians instead of being shot in the back by their “fellow” Ukrainians.

    Anzac Day commemorations in our very small rural community are a family event with 8 generations of farming families and relatives of those lost in war sharing family histories of the names on our Honor Boards. We have been unable to find a church minister to lead the ceremony for some years now and have recruited a well known local to lead the service which runs to the original format apart from the benediction. This is held at 9:00 am followed by a morning tea in the town hall with finger foods donated by the local C.W.A. and families. Bugle calls are performed by a local resident (and very well too). Today we even had a fly over (by another local) in a 1941 Stearman Boeing. This is a strictly volunteer event with no oversight from any military organisation. Flagpole duties are carried out by ex military personnel and The Ode is recited by an ex serviceman (by invitation). The service includes a poetry reading, sometimes a poem about a returnee after war, sometimes a personal note or a poem chosen from the war years.
    This event is well attended by residents and visitors, both old and young and brings the community together.
    There is only one jarring note from today’s service. The poetry reading was to have been by a teenage boy to represent the younger generation. There is a cadet corps organised through the schools and this lad was not a current member. He was informed on the day that he was not permitted to participate as he was not a cadet.
    I will be informing the school that we did not select him as a cadet (as there are none from our district) but as one of the younger generation. If the school wishes to nominate a cadet to take part in next year’s service, they may do so and we will duly consider it. This is our Anzac commemoration and we do not appreciate discourtesy.

Carlson’s breathtakingly courageous April 19 monologue broke TV’s two biggest rules: Tucker told the truth about how greedy Pharma advertisers controlled TV news content and he lambasted obsequious newscasters for promoting jabs they knew to be lethal and worthless. For many years, Tucker has had the nation’s biggest audience averaging 3.5 million — 10 times the size of CNN. Fox just demonstrated the terrifying power of Big Pharma.

    The MSM are spinning this as a good result, but it’s not.
    Inflation at this level is horrific when there is already a cost of living crisis.

    Headline annual inflation growth slowed to 7 per cent in the first quarter, from 7.8 per cent in the December period. Consensus expected CPI growth of 6.9 per cent.

    Core CPI, which is the RBA’s preferred measure, cooled to 6.6 per cent from 6.9 per cent. Economists had expected a reading of 6.7 per cent.

    RBA website:

    Since the early 1990s, these objectives have found practical expression in a target for consumer price inflation, of 2–3 per cent per annum. Monetary policy aims to achieve this over the medium term so as to encourage strong and sustainable growth in the economy. Controlling inflation preserves the value of money.

    Someone should ask Dim Jim to give a ball park figure for the inflation print for MarQ 2024. Because if he doesn’t expect the figure to be back within range, he needs to sack Lowe immediately as there is no way a medium term figure will end up at 2%.

    Unfortunately not, it will live forever as just speculation.

    There are differences of opinion as to where the strike took place, some say it’s somewhere just outside Kiev and another story said the bunker was near Lviv. There are also different opinions about how many died, some say 300 and another version I heard this morning claims 400 died.

    The story may be true but we’ll never know with any certainty as no one would want it widely known. Russia is happy to leave it as a private message to NATO, and NATO would prefer to keep it quiet to avoid questions from the media etc.

    Over the twelve months to the March 2022 quarter, the CPI rose 5.1%.

    Over the twelve months to the March 2023 quarter, the CPI rose 7.0%.

    If we take the RBA’s “medium term” target as 5 years starting from the March 2022 quarter, the next three years need to average 0.13% CPI to reach a 2.5% target.

    If we treat the medium term as 10 years, for the next 8 years the RBA needs to deliver 1.6% CPI to reach a 2.5% target.

    If anyone bothered to put this to the RBA, I expect they would advise the target is only to bring CPI down to 2-3% at some point in the medium term, not to get an average over the medium term.

    If the latter is how the RBA views the CPI target, theoretically they could deliver 100% CPI for 2024, deliver a 2% CPI in 2025, and argue they achieved target inflation in the medium term. Would that be preserving the value of money? Of course not.

    They are full of shit. Prove me wrong.

    They passed the earlier mRNA vaxxes with even less “evidence”. The TGA has been totally captured by BigPharma.

    The Moderna Spikevax is the first jab given full approval in Australia. The others have only been given provisional approval.

    In the UK, the head of MHRA (their TGA equivalent) has stated that role of the MHRA is changing. It involves “a culture change from a regulator, that is a controller, a watchdog, or a policeman if you like, to an enabler, or an air traffic controller landing the plane that is the new entity, the new asset.” From a black box to a system partner.
    Dame June Raine – CEO MHRA. Nicola Wheatley Memorial Lexture. “Making medicines safer”

    So the regulator becomes a system partner with no one seeing any conflict of interest. The system is broken beyond repair.

    The REAL Reason Tucker Carlson Was Fired By Fox News!

    Fox hasn’t fired Carlson, they have just stopped his show. Carlson is still under a contract with Fox News till sometime in 2024, and they will keep him on the payroll ($1.6 Million per month) till his contract expires.

    Carlson can’t go anywhere else, he can only sit at home and collect the pay cheques till after the 2024 election.

    Keep Tucker silent until 2024. South Africa ICC flip-flop. UK depleted uranium in Ukraine. U/1

    Carlson was having interviews with Trump and Robert Kennedy Jnr., and raising other issues which the Uniparty didn’t want raised, can’t have that happening as it might cause problems with Biden’s re-election.

    2023.04.26 Demographics of Ukraine – Gonzalo Lira – 8 minutes.

    Ukraine has lost around half of its population and it won’t recover. The refugees who fled to western Europe and Russia won’t return, and that includes most of the young women so its population won’t recover. Those who remain will have to look after the permanently damaged soldiers who number in the the 10’s of thousands, possibly more, there’s no future there.

    Their long term economic prospects are also poor. The four regions which Russia has now reincorporated into Russia provided 85% to 90% of Ukrainians GDP, that’s now permanently gone. These are the regions which Khrushchev transferred from the Russian Soviet Republic to the Ukrainian Soviet Republic to get their votes when he stood for election as the Secretary General of the USSR after Stalin’s death. Khrushchev was happy to do this as he was a Ukrainian, and Brezhnev didn’t change the borders later as he too was a Ukrainian.

    Putin was also prepared for Ukraine to keep those regions and he took heavy criticism from the nationalists in Russia and the breakaway Ukrainian republics as he wanted them to remain in a viable Ukrainian state, he didn’t want a failed nation-state next door to Russia.

    This is the basis for the Minsk and Istanbul agreements, Ukraine would recognise Russian sovereignty in Crimea, they would remain a neutral nation, and they would stop killing their Russian citizens.

    These are reasonable conditions but the western globalists wouldn’t have it, they wanted the destruction of Russia. All they have achieved is the destruction of Ukraine.

    All nations should take warm criminal Henry Kissinger seriously:

    “To be an enemy of America can be dangerous, but to be a friend is fatal.”

    Kissinger was a very brainy guy who enthralled the ‘intelligensia’ for a long time. He spun a compelling narrative, and it worked for him.

    In retrospect, Henry was no better than the public service analysts on both sides of the Atlantic.

    But, what a salesman!

    Big news if true, Trump is considering a joint ticket with DeSantis. Trump will find that his previous anti-DeSantis comments will come back to haunt him during the election campaign.

    Nothing wrong with Kevni

    Foxtel’s conservative current affairs program Outsiders breached accuracy guidelines in its coverage of climate change issues on multiple occasions, according to broadcasting regulator the Australian Communications and Media Authority.

    In an investigation in response to more than 80 complaints from former prime minister Kevin Rudd, the authority found the program, which is hosted by Rowan Dean, Rita Panahi, and James Morrow and broadcast on Sky News, had breached its responsibilities to present news accurately and fairly and to distinguish clearly between factual material and commentary on four separate occasions between October and December 2021.
