    WarriorofSparta:

    I’ve put together what I imagined would be a fitting end to the final episode of Better Call Saul 6×13 – Saul Gone. Combining all 3 main characters’ endings in a final farewell to the Breaking Bad universe, accompanied by ABBA – The Winner Takes it All, the song Jimmy and Chuck sang in Season 4 of Better Call Saul.

    Better Call Saul & Breaking Bad are some of the best TV I’ve ever seen, incredible work!

    I did this as my appreciation for the series, I’m not making any profit from this video nor own the rights to this media.

    The absolute imbroglio that is British politics will continue as the candidates for yet another Tory leadership contest ready themselves for a — blessedly brief — battle for the keys of Number 10. The race to replace failed PM Liz Truss is set to conclude by as soon as Monday, when another globalist stooge may well be installed into office.

    Vaccines Never Prevented the Transmission of COVID

    In late 2021 and early 2022, it was commonplace for journalists and public intellectuals to demonize and shame “the unvaccinated,” a group that in the United States was disproportionately low income. The New York Times ran pieces like “I’m Furious at the Unvaccinated,” and “Unvaxxed, Unmasked and Putting Our Kids at Risk.” The Los Angeles Times published a column titled “Mocking anti-vaxxers’ COVID deaths is ghoulish, yes—but may be necessary.” An opinion piece called “The Unvaccinated Are a Risk to All of Us” appeared in Bloomberg, and The Washington Post printed a piece called “Macron is right: It’s time to make life a living hell for anti-vaxxers.”

    Hancock Prospecting pulls netball support:
    Announcement comes after Australian Diamonds players raised concerns

    Hancock Prospecting has announced it is withdrawing its netball support.

    The company issued a statement on Saturday announcing the decision.

    “Hancock and Roy Hill do not wish to add to Netball’s disunity problems, and accordingly Hancock has advised Netball Australia… that it has withdrawn from its proposed funding partnership effective immediately,” the statement said.

    “Roy Hill, majority-owned by Hancock, will also be discontinuing its sponsorship arrangement with Netball WA… to be the principal partner of the West Coast Fever.”

    A great short from the Omeleto channel. It rings true for today.

    *********

    Little Brother:

    Jane is an activist, best-selling author and a Nobel nominee who speaks out against the tyrannical government of Iran. She has been persecuted in the past and is now an ex-pat, but when she travels back to Iran to gives a no-holds-barred interview on TV, the very government she speaks out against decides to take action.

    Little do they know, however, that Jane has a powerful weapon at her disposal. And with its aid, Jane will throw the latest salvo in the war against oppression, exposing the secret actions of the government in a way no one anticipated.

    Written and directed by Cyrus Saidi and Gautam Pinto, this short sci-fi thriller plays for high stakes, blending incendiary dialogue, committed performances and provocative ideas in a fast-moving, ambitious narrative. It charts the rise and fall of an activist committed to speaking out at any cost against an oppressive government that commits human rights violations with impunity.

    The film has a visual sleekness and coolly futuristic sheen, with dynamic camerawork and a chilly color palette, but ultimately this is a story of ideas, using the centerpiece of a high-profile media interview to explore its main character’s rhetoric of freedom, rebellion and revolution. Interwoven throughout the interview are detours into Jane’s dark, haunting memories, mixing past and present along with Jane’s inner landscape and her actions in the world, particularly as they rub up against the government’s growing repression against its people.

    Actor Natalie Brown plays Jane with a righteous conviction, with a steeliness at her core. She’s charismatic, and we can see as an audience why she serves as the face of opposition to terror. When she makes a crucial choice — essentially a sacrifice — in service of her cause, it’s believable even though it is extreme. After the bombshells of her high-profile interview, she faces yet another interrogation — and another sacrifice to make for her beliefs.

    Thought-provoking and engaging, “Little Brother” was shot in 20–. But it resonates with current events now, with political rebellion fomenting in Iran, proving that the film’s heroine and her rhetoric of rebellion and revolution are almost prophetic in their power. But, taking advantage of its non-linear storytelling, the film is also astute in examining the role of technology in exposing the corruption of the system and those in power. The ability to capture and then transmit almost instantly evidence of political abuses of power has ignited many recent revolutions around the world, including current-day Iran. Though surveillance can be turned against people, its tools can also be appropriated for justice and truth — and keeping the flames of hope alive, even when they seem to be dying out.

    A young woman speaks out against a tyrannical government. There are consequences. | Little Brother

    Hancock Prospecting has announced it is withdrawing its netball support.

    Some good comments on that story:

    1/ Sometimes, even in dark times, things happen that just fill you with joy and make you want to sing.

    This is one of them.

    Now, all I ask is that, when Netball Aust explains to the players that they are paying their own way and buying their own kit going forward, that they televise that discussion.

    2/Fantastic…
    Best news I have heard all day. Fantastic that someone finally stood up to these precious little darlings.
    If I might be so bold Gina, there are sporting codes in every town throughout Australia that would welcome your act of generosity, if it were to bo offered.

    3/Now Alinta energy needs to do the same with Cricket Australia. Let Chinese Solar Panels sponser them.

    4/Good on You Gina.
    It’s about time someone Stood-Up-To these woke-greenie’s and not crumble like a deck of cards to their demands….

    5/Well done Gina! 👏👏👏. These players are there to play not voice their political opinions. So now, because of their woke ideology, they’ve lost a huge sponsorship for their sport who are already in over $4 million in debt. Don’t expect to get paid and you’ll be paying your own airfares, accommodation and meals when you play overseas!

    6/They didn’t like Gina’s logo on their uniforms because of something her dad sad in the 1980’s.

    7/Well done, Gina.

    The Netballers will have to give Cannon-Brookes a call.

    8/I hope that patriotic Australians in business and investment rally together against the woke private sector too, bankers, telecommunications, insurers and others participating in globalism, climate hoax and related crony capitalism wealth creation ventures at the expense of Australians and economic prosperity generally.

    9/Well done Hancock Prospecting and Gina Reinhardt, she is not only a very successful business person and Australian patriot and she has supported so many Australians and organisations.

    The latest woke nonsense and naivety of sports people biting the hand that feeds them must not be tolerated.

    10/Good…about time there was some pushback on these woke idiots. Pat Cummins…you may have to travel cattle class shortly if there is a bit more pushback.

    ‘It’s crazy’:
    Days away from birth, genetic test ordered to ID biological parents in embryo mix-up

    An Israeli court ruled Wednesday that a genetic test be conducted to identify the biological parents of a fetus mistakenly implanted in a woman who was not its mother during fertility treatments at Rishon Lezion’s Assuta Medical Center.

    The Lod District Court said a genetic test must be conducted “immediately.” The child is due within days.

    The test will use tissues previously obtained and sent by Assuta to Sheba Medical Center in Tel Aviv and will thus pose no danger to the woman carrying the embryo.

    Ask any single woman about the ease of dating in today’s world and they will most certainly roll their eyes and groan. As a single woman myself, I can vouch for how tough the dating climate is for every one of us. But unvaccinated, single women now have it that much harder. The reason? The decision as to whether or not they will date vaccinated men is now on the table.

    The other woke sports story from the past week.

    Pat Cummins gets blasted for ‘hypocritical’ objections to Cricket Australia sponsor

    Reaction from fans

    One fan said: “Pat Cummins won’t accept Alinta sponsorship but will travel to India, the world’s 2nd biggest emitter and accept $1.5million from the IPL sponsor, a giant conglomerate that owns oil refineries?

    “Honestly, this guy is a piece of hypocritical crap.”

    A third added: “Is this the same Pat Cummins that was paid to appear in ads for Alinta Energy?”

    Another wrote: “Ok now stop flying to cricket matches, stop playing cricket in big polluter India & stop driving the fossil-fuelled Range Rover.”

    Woke Cummins (says):
    “It is a balance when you make decisions about who you are going to welcome into the cricket family.”

    Alinta Energy:
    Be brave, Alinta. Follow on from Gina Rinehart’s decision, bowl a fast final over and get out.

    Announce that you don’t want to be unwelcome after four years of sponsorship, and cancel the 12-month extension.

    Should be easy for woke Cummins to find a woke sponsor that he wants to welcome into the (woke) cricket family.

    Definitely worth watching from this point, focusing on the UK government’s SAGE nudge unit that nudges the sheep into the pen.

    Insiders didn’t talk about Gina and the poor girls. Offsiders agonised and couldn’t bring themselves to say “f**king idiots”, preferring to be able to see both sides of the story, after smearing Lang Hancock with “his treatment of Abbariginal people”. Nothing about Gina’ many donations in that domain. I hope she watched it.

    Some further digging on the Netball saga brings in this.
    If so-called leaders (politics or business or sports or whatever) had the backbone to stand up against all this wokeism, the problem would be solved.

    Sponsor hypocrites back off

    Article courtesy of Guest Author Clinton Wolf, the managing director of National Indigenous Times and non-executive director of Madalahof the National Indigenous Times, and the National Indigenous Times.

    He would have to be indigenous to hold all those titles.
    A few sections of the article:

    The subsequent hypocritical negativity from critics against Hancock Prospecting being a sponsor is puzzling to say the least.

    There are a number of Indigenous charities doing their absolute best to ensure that Indigenous students have the best possible chance of succeeding and making a better life for themselves, their families and the wider community.

    Madalah Ltd is one of those Indigenous Children’s Charities.

    Madalah was particularly grateful when at the instigation of Mrs Rinehart, the Roy Hill Community Foundation developed the Hanrine Futures Program and approached Madalah to partner with them in supporting Indigenous kids to secure scholarships.

    The Roy Hill Community Foundation quickly committed to a multi-year, multi-million-dollar funding arrangement to ensure that many Indigenous kids could now have the opportunity they so desperately needed.

    Did Madalah agonise over partnering with Mrs Rinehart and her companies, absolutely not.

    Many of the students who were provided scholarships are Traditional Owners of land on which mining activities are taking place and it is their families and communities urging the students to take advantage of the opportunity of a lifetime.

    Madalah is not going to throw Indigenous children’s futures away because of criticism of our sponsors by individuals or entities that have their own agendas.

    Madalah does not have the luxury of callously disregarding the hopes and dreams of young Indigenous Australians.

    That outcome is completely unacceptable.

    There has been much criticism of Mrs Rinehart because Lang Hancock was her father.

    Since when do we judge someone because of who their parents are or were or what they said?

    What people perceive about someone is often the exact opposite of who that person actually is.

    Check the rest of the article.

    Players’ Association CEO breaks silence on $15m sponsorship fallout

    Harby-Williams said the players believed an exemption would be granted for Wallam to not wear the logo, but Netball Australia left them disappointed by refusing to hand one out.

    “Donnell sought an exemption for herself and that wasn’t forthcoming because there was a meeting where it was made very clear that no exemptions would given to any player,” Harby-Williams said

    Super Netball premiers West Coast Fever ‘collateral damage’ in $15 million sponsorship saga

    Hancock Prospecting also announced that Roy Hill mining was withdrawing its support of Netball WA and the West Coast Fever, which won its first domestic Super Netball premiership earlier this year.

    West Coast Fever CEO Simone Hansen said the club was “bitterly disappointed” to lose its main sponsor Roy Hill as a result of the Netball Australia situation.

    SO, being a sceptic, I went to the Madalah website to see who’s getting the scholarships and I find 2 proud wymmin from the Biggusfalsies tribe
    Think I’m cherrypicking?
    The sky’s the limit
    The achievements for the remote area kids are considerably more vague.
    Still, I think it has it’ merits. Onya, Gina.

The hyena clan was trying to defend its territory from the fearless male lion but instead they lost a clan member trying to defend their territory in vain.

    If anyone is following that bloke’s ride from Perth to Cape York on the back roads, he’s just put out another video. He finally got to the tip of Cape York in his previous episode, he’s now on the return journey.

    In this episode, he travels from the tip via some back road to Cooktown then on to Cairns. He drops his bike in a creek at one point but it didn’t do any damage.

    That rainforest country up north is quite remarkable.

    Try again…

    That bloke who is riding from Perth to the tip of Cape York on all the back roads has put out a new video. He arrived at the tip in the last episode, he’s now on the return journey.

    He rode from Cape York via some back road to Cooktown, then on to Cairns in this episode. He dropped his bike in a creek but it didn’t do any damage fortunately.

    That rain forest country in FNQ is quite spectacular, I don’t think I’d like to camp out there though in the open with cassowarys walking around in the bush.

    Depends on the sim, but if done correctly could show, in the absence of war, eventual economic collapse.
    Just like taking the other side in an air combat sim.

    3 days of deliberations on a case with no evidence (Drunkney Hoggins). FMD. Mind you, I was a juror on a histerical sexual assault case which was thrown out by the judge on day 2 as there was no evidence. We were in and out of the court room every few minutes. Even in early jury room conversation some were convinced of his evil. “Where did he touch her that was sexual?” we asked. Didn’t matter so convinced are the poisoned minds and those with personal experience.
