    Ronald Reagan asked in his speech in 1964 that if the US goes commo, where do you go?

    A lot depends on whether the putsch of 2020 can be undone. I’m not counting on it but it’s hard to believe Americans will take what happened lying down. Fuck off BosNYWash and silicon valley and there would be a massive improvement.

    Someone was wondering what happened to Avi’s anticipated clip of the hooligan element and VicPol, Andrews’ thoroughly debased Praetorian guard, at last night’s demo.

    On the old dead and gone catallaxyfiles.com the blog owner almost invariably allowed the Avian to have free rein for quite some time each time that he presented. It usually wasn’t until Bird got well wound up and the people who were then out of their depth started bleating that Sinc did anything about him. Then he would dramatically pronounce “smite” or laconically say “bye Graeme”, at the same time deleting all of the Bird’s words.

    That is just horseplop, Grigory. You don’t know how often Sinc blocked Bird from posting in the first place, or banned him early. Apart from anything else, you are falling victim to confirmation bias.

    Bird may be insane, but he has rat cunning.

    Just realised 6th August. Anniversary of the bombing of Hiroshima in 1945. Monday anniversary of Nagasaki & next Sunday VJ day. Pondering at the world today I see parallels with the historical records of the 1930’s and pre-WWI worlds together and different. I think any warfare will be vastly different to any we have experienced in the past though even if we aren’t in the throws of it already in the cyberspace, financial and at arms length by proxies like Confucius Institutes.

    At any length we seem dangerously under-prepared and reliant on the US in a rapidly changing region.

    Fat piece pf shit, worst evidence-giver in policing history during the Gobbo RC, ex-AFP numpty, contract extension hunter and police impersonator Luke Cornelius was quoted thusly in The Hun, talking about the anti-lockdown protests and protesters:

    ‘Assistant Commissioner Luke Cornelius said it was clear “hardcore protesters” are not deterred by fines and that it was time they were put before the courts for more serious punishment, including jail time.’

    Look you porky fuckwit – that is not your job. The job of the cops – even leaving aside the circumstances which brought these protests about in the first place – is to bring offenders before a court of competent jurisdiction. Allegedly.

    Spruiking this nonsense on a subject you have no control over in any way, shape or form. Press conferences do not – or should not – influence jurors or the judiciary*, and all you’ve done is allowed an argument against a fair trial to exist where none existed before.

    The issue seems to be mainly around our Constitution. The High Court appears to be running dead on violations and is asleep on the job.
    The Constitution appears to be quite toothless on our rights as well.
    Desperately needed is a rewrite with the emphasis on what the government cannot do. Also the US 1st and 2nd Amendments need to be included, as well as the ability of citizens to form an Irregular Militia.

    “So a starved German somehow becomes a gassed Jew. Yet we don’t have a photo or an autopsy of a gassed Jew. Not even one.”

    Have you ever been to Aushwitz or Belsen or any of the other camps? Like actually stood there? Have you ever listened to the interviews with the survivors?
    ————————————————————————————————–

    Belsen was a bit of a special case.

    Most of the industrial scale murder occurred in occupied Poland rather than the ‘fatherland’. When the Red Army rolled through Poland in the first quarter of 1945, the German’s upsticked and left.

    All the inmates of POW camps in Poland were force marched back to Germany. Many Australian POW’s did this awful winter Trek. I have personally known RAAF air crew who survived that hike. Most did survive. They were barely kept alive even given the straitened times of the Reich. Fair enough. They were belligerents.

    The German’s also marched their non-belligerent prisoners out of Poland and accumulated them at Bergen-Belsen.

    Bergen-Belsen get’s the press because it was literally a concentration camp and it was liberated by UK troops accompanied by UK reporters.

    The UK accounts of that time claim that their were 10,000 non-belligerent found unburied at Bergen-Belsen and 13,000 people that they had liberated, subsequently died on their watch, because of previous neglect.

    Just to put those numbers in perspective.

    Total Australians killed in WW2 = 27,000.
    Non-Belligerent deaths at Bergen-Belsen alone in April 1945 = 23,000.

    There’s a reason why people passionately hate anti-semites. It’s because we know what you are capable of. Graeme.

    Now fuck off.

    You don’t get to be a minute taker in such a senior position by recording the ACTUAL minutes.

    Bit different to PM &C meetings. The National Cabinet is effectively the new COAG and would require full and confidential recording of everything said and decided by Commonwealth and State representatives during its meetings. I’d be very surprised if the role of doing so was not fulfilled by Hansard. And I doubt that any decision by a tribunal will result in any of the minutes or documents being made public.

    BBS…you’re correct, I watched it too. Again it shows just how effing useless the Liberals are when in power. They’d rather ban greyhounds or pass legislation to butcher unborn babies than deal with electoral reform. The idea is that with a fixed four year term (which I personally think does undermine the Westminster system) is that you can petition for a recall election…they have similar in some states in the US…like California….where there is currently a petition for a recall election in order to kick Governor Gavin Newsome out.

    On the old Cat Vikki Campion used to upload her Saturday Daily Telegraph piece….here it is….it’s a good piece about the abuse of parliamentary privilege by leftist scum.

    Vikki Campion: Parliamentary privilege should not be a get out of jail free card
    The origin of parliamentary privilege was to protect politicians, but it has morphed into a tool used to destroy the integrity of opponents, writes Vikki Campion.

    New South Wales Upper Hunter MP Michael Johnsen has resigned from parliament after being accused of rape and seeking a sex worker to visit him at state…
    In 1689 parliamentary privilege under the Bill of Rights was established so kings couldn’t accuse parliamentarians of treason and execute them when they refused to raise taxes for royals — it was not so Blue Mountains MP Trish Doyle could call a man a rapist.

    It was established centuries before cameras, television and social media, as legal status protection for lawmakers to discuss laws.

    Not, as it was used on this occasion, as a media prop for a political opponent to destroy the integrity of an innocent person.

    It was not to throw around criminal accusations that would otherwise have people in jail.

    Not naming Upper Hunter MP Michael Johnsen on the floor for the rape accusation that he has since been cleared of is not a defence.

    Did she allow police time to investigate the allegation? No.

    When her allegation was proved incorrect, did she correct the record? No.

    Is the privileges committee investigating it? No.

    Did the House discipline her in any way? No.

    If you agree that then-senator David Leyonhjelm was out of line to tell Sarah Hanson-Young in the parliament to “stop shagging men” then, to be consistent, you would agree Ms Doyle needs to apologise and resign.

    Ms Doyle didn’t use privilege for its intended purpose –— discussing a matter of law for the day. She was getting a media headline in cahoots with the ABC.

    That same principle would apply to the Speaker in the chair who failed to act, whose only responsibility was to ensure that privilege is not debased.

    Liberal MP Felicity Wilson should resign from her Speaker’s duties for failing to rule it out of order.

    The role of the Speaker is to treat parliament as the institution of the people, not the plaything of the parliamentarians.

    Known as the “coward’s castle”, privilege enables things to be said without being sued; however, if the national Parliamentary Privilege Act is as thin as the Federal Court found in Leyonhjelm v Hanson-Young, then it comes back to the adopted Bill of Rights 1689.

    When the former senator argued last month the court had no justification for finding he had defamed Senator Hanson-Young for repeating things he said in the parliament, he lost his appeal.

    MPs cannot accuse each other of improper motives.

    One of the most common insults to pull them up on is calling their opponent a liar. Rape, being a criminal offence, is a big one with devastating consequences for the accused.

    An imputation of improper motive doesn’t have to be levelled at a named individual to be out of order.

    Ms Doyle said: “This man who raped her is a government member of this chamber.”

    That is a statement, not an allegation, in an orchestrated campaign — and an abuse of the parliament to do it.

    Inside the chamber, displaying signs is not permitted, taking photos is not permitted, but calling someone a rapist in the NSW parliament so far is.

    Unlike other Australian parliaments, the NSW parliament has never passed legislation conferring the powers, privileges and immunities of the House of Commons.

    Anyone who has been sued for what they have said in the House with such an act argues privilege isn’t worth the paper it’s written on.

    The precedent of Mr Leyonhjelm, sued for repeating what he said under parliamentary privilege, and Mr Johnsen, blown out of office on claims uttered under privilege found to have no validity, should terrify all parliamentarians and the public.

    What Ms Doyle said about Mr Johnsen she could have said about you.

    You must have a robust debate in the parliament, but the movement meant to empower victims has a real possibility of sorting grudges. Me Too has become Screw You.

    Now we have real victims who fear telling their stories because they will be weaponised for political gain from a faux-earnest face.

    Parliamentary privilege does not protect people who provide information to MPs.

    The sex worker who accused Mr Johnsen of rape could now in theory be open to legal recourse.

    Ms Doyle used this to blow Mr Johnsen out of a job, triggering the Upper Hunter by-election, which ended up handing the Nationals a bigger margin.

    Ultimately, she succeeded in doing what the NSW Labor Right couldn’t — blowing Jodi McKay out of leadership and herself out of a shadow ministry.

    Some 400 years later, this exceptional right has come far in time and purpose from its design.

    Next time you hear a salacious slur in the chambers, think of the motive.

    Privilege was supposed to be for protection, not assassination.

    Bird, you’re socially inept. That is to say, you cannot function in a normal society. Can you?

    So to compensate, already having a modicum of basic intelligence, you warped it to become a self-imposed outcast. Your own importance is critical to what’s left of your ego so you pretended to see things others can’t and have insights others don’t.

    And then, somewhere along the way, you stopped pretending. Didn’t you?

    Do you even see what you’ve become? Or have you wiped your own past, like the equally real European past of 70 years ago you deny?

    Bird, you’re socially inept. That is to say, you cannot function in a normal society. Can you?

    So to compensate, already having a modicum of basic intelligence, you warped it to become a self-imposed outcast. Your own importance is critical to what’s left of your ego so you pretended to see things others can’t and have insights others don’t.

    And then, somewhere along the way, you stopped pretending. Didn’t you?

    Do you even see what you’ve become? Or have you wiped your own past, like the equally real European past of 70 years ago you deny?

    This is part of the reason you’re a casual employee. Isn’t it?

    Interview
    Dave Rubin on Israel and Antisemitism

    In 2018, Dave Rubin made a bold statement for free speech. When Patreon shunned Carl Benjamin for using ‘racist’ language on YouTube, the popular podcaster announced his departure from the crowdfunding platform in protest. Controversy ensued and the story hit the headlines. Prominent fellow podcasters, including Jordan Peterson and Sam Harris, joined the protest departure, “taking a hit” for their ethics, as Peterson put it, and Patreon was faced with an exodus of disgruntled

    Love Vicki’s work but disagree it was a great win for the Nationals. If that is the prevailing opinion within the party cadres then they are sleepwalking to defeat in Mar 2023 especially in the Sydney suburbs where people have lost everything.

    Yeah, the Nat’s increased their 2PP in Upper Hunter by a paltry 3.26%. In fact National Primaries still slipped around 2-3% despite being even higher by up to 30% not too long ago. People in the Upper Hunter had already come to the conclusion it was a hit job on Johnsen. Agree there. That said I thought the man’s heart wasn’t in it, going through a marriage break up he made some poor decisions in light of the position he held. Perhaps a good excuse for a way out hence the lack of a fight or rebuttal.

    Osmar White, the Australian correspondent for the Melbourne Sun who rode with Patton’s column, records being the first journo into Buchenwald and what he saw.

    His book, Conqueror’s Road, is a terrific piece of writing and reporting and heartily recommended.

    It also comes with an interesting twist. Years later back in Oz, White is camping by himself in the NW when a carload of univited guests arrive to share his campfire. He’s a bit anxious, especially about one of the arrivals who keeps staring at him.

    Turns out his visitor was a Buchenwald inmate and White’s face was engraved on his brain, the human symbol that it was finally over.

    Also a great sketch, his encounter with Goering’s art curator at Carinhall. Creepy to the max.

    You’ve been given it.

    The situation for the all the prisoners of the Third Reich held in Poland was identical. A forced winter march back to Germany.

    The Western POW’s had it tough. Very tough. Most survived.

    The 23,000 non-belligerent prisoners of the Reich from Poland who were concentrated at Bergen-Belsen did not.

    Explain that disparity?

    It is legal. If not for the ADA it would have been legal for that cake shop to refuse providing cake for a gay wedding. I think the owners got the rough end of the stick because their religious convictions were not being respected and that is also part of the ADA coverage. Vaccination is not covered under that Act. The PM has nothing to worry about because the very greater majority of people will agree with him.

    —————————

    It would follow that they can also refuse admission to the vaccinated. Yes? Private business can decide who they allow on their premises.

    Did the PM mention anything about Government premises? Say, like Centrelink.

    Can of worms, but I reckon they would be pushing “shit up hill”.

    Calli, I think he’ got buckley’s and so have they. First, he’s leaving it up to private business, the same with employers “forcing” employees to take the jab. If he was in a position of power he would pass the relevant legislation.

    Second, the privacy laws mean that no one has the right to ask another person what their health status is – that would be like asking a pregnant woman if she’s pregnant.

    Up thread I said that the twin hurdles over which employers have to get are discrimination and reasonableness, according to the Sky report. If people are not showing any sickness – no symptoms at all – then to deny service is to discriminate. On top of that, at the moment many, many businesses are crying out for customers – which of these businesses will turn away paying customers?

    I see the PM’s position as a cop out – he’s on borrowed time and he’s got nothing.
