Here we go, yet again; UK illegal immigrant attempts apparent beheading in broad daylight in NI street, riots kick off.

As declared on early television “far right” and totally unjustified rioting and will NOT be tolerated. The odd public attempted beheading is fine anything else just simply not on.

I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again. The Ireland civilian population is one of the few in the west that still has institutional knowledge of how to run a guerilla campaign against a hated government that imposes policies on them that they despise. It’s been less than 30 years since the ceasefire and there are still a whole bunch of those old Provisional IRA guys around to educate an organize a new generation of soldiers if the government continues to ignore the will of the common people. The Irish politicians had better keep that in mind when they are demonizing their indigenous population of pasty white angry gingers. Because if they keep it up, there will be a violent reckoning using PIRA tactics.

We few, we (not so happy) few.
Let us not wish one skeptic more.
One day, (like maybe tomorrow), we can emerge and say, “I’ve been saying this climate stuff was bogus for more than a decade”. (*)
We can say, “I was there with Jo the Queen, fighting against fearsome odds for science and intellectual integrity”.
No really, it is truly staggering that climate doomsayers are abandoning doom saying for power to power AI like Reich believers stripping their uniforms and burning them.
Except we didn’t vanquish them.
They just moved on.
Never mind.
And we will still be called conspiracy theorists for remembering, and trying to get some sort of acknowledgement of what they did.
My recognition of the lie cost me socially.
Many people I know owe me an apology I will never get.
They’re not even aware why.
(*) some here, much smarter than me, for much longer.

Have looked at the Australian govt climate advisory documents and found that where they mentioned IPCC scenarios, they were all referencing either RCP8.5 or SSP3-7.0.
So I presume this means that all govt climate documents at all levels of govt should be replaced.
Would be interesting if somebody challenges their local council on a climate-related issue related to their property.

It’s what happens when governments enact rules which defy science. Very high diesel compression will produce nitrous oxides. So the engines were designed to minimize these under strict test conditions. They succeeded. But if you varied from the test conditions, reality appeared. No suprise there. You cannot legislate reality or chemistry. You cannot redefine pi legally, although even that was attempted once.
This applies to the entire CO2 industry. There is no green hydrogen supply. And the swap would mean rebuilding every smelter in the world at unbelievable cost and time. And for what? No one can control atmospheric CO2 in the first place. It is the vapour pressure of a dissolved gas.
Green is chlorophyll, a long chain hydrocarbon made from atmospheric CO2. More CO2 means more Greenery. Green activists and legislators need to learn some chemistry, not make it up. That’s megalomania.

This is not news but the website was recently updated.
Sicktoria’s very own “Population scale mRNA manufacturing”.
How much of your tax money went into this?
According to Gulag AI:
Australia is an ideal recipient of any future experimental “vaccines” because of the demonstrated willingness of the Government to make them (effectively) compulsory. [Supposedly optional but if you want to work, shop or do other activities, you better get the juice.]
And what do they actually do when there isn’t a pandemic? Well they do research and make mRNA covid “vaccines” and others.
From Gulag AI:
A lot of money and resources tied up just so the Government can force the next round of experimental “vaccines” on people.
And no, I am not anti-vax. I fully support properly tested and proven evidence-based vaccinations.

Australia is stuffed.
I’ll bet One Nation has more than 2 Million dollars in their Liar campaign by now.

Why oh why are the taxpayers of Australia not allowed to know where/why/how much of their tax dollars are spent?
“Commercially confidential” never has and never will pass the pub test as far as I’m concerned.
This applies to all governments, of all colours.

Good news on the cost of living in Australia. While walking through a major Melbourne market I noticed that European carp, the most despised fish in Australia was on sale for $19.50/kg. Fish that most people wouldn’t even use for yabby bait, and illegal to return to the water alive now selling for a bargain price. Even more expensive than farmed basa from S.E. Asia.
80
Carp:
The feral and despised typographical error.
But, they have their “uses”.”
https://charliecarp.com.au/
50
A sure sign that Australia’s standard of living is regressing rapidly, just as planned.
European carp is poverty food.
You know things are bad when even the Government propaganda unit, Their ABC admits the standard of living is falling
So imagine how bad it really is!

This morning in The Australian (comments about home batteries) a comment that appealed to me.
A costly, complex and half baked plan from Baldric Bowen. Who would have thought! It matches the plan that struggling households can somehow find $40k plus to buy an EV. With nearly 50% of emissions coming from transport sources, Australia is unlikely to see the EV numbers to reach the ambitious yet useless emissions goals.
81
It shows just how disconnected from reality our Elitist politicians and Elitist Leftists are, most of who are dependent on the taxpayer for their income and who have never worked in a real wealth-creating job their entire lives. Professional parasites

Struggling households who have to find $440,000 a year for numerous public .” servants”.
50
$440,000?
Gulag AI says (citing various references):
FFS, these are public serpents 🐍 and are meant to be dutifully working for US for modest salaries. If they want huge salaries they should go to the private sector into a worthy job and compete against others for the position.

A business owner in Fishwick ACT told me years ago that the worst customers to deal with were public service and the more senior they were the bigger the problems they presented.
And typically self important.

Australia is heading for bankruptcy when CRIMINAL NON-CITIZENS are funded by
TAX PAYERS to remain in Australia and be “compensated” through Grubbnmnt ineptitude
and ordinary citizens are sent to the wall unable to get any help whatsoever.
Looks like The Laundry is in full swing.

Wow, as reported in “The Age” wonder what it pays. Also unaware that ON was a party that promoted misogyny. Oh well the damn “new right” can be blamed for everything, I think its their fault that its raining at present and I have to go out in it! Note that its also anti democratic, anyone that is popular with the people is “anti democratic”
“Brittany Higgins is returning to frontline politics, launching a campaign against Pauline Hanson’s One Nation and what she describes as a rising tide of “misogyny, extremism and anti-democratic movements” in Australia.
Higgins has been appointed executive director of the Vida Fund, a progressive fundraising and advocacy group established to support independent candidates and push gender equity reforms. In her first major role since leaving politics, she said the organisation would target the growing influence of the “new right”, including female One Nation voters.”
50
Than you Sambar, I now have another one that I won’t send money.
Indeed, with Less than three years after Ms Higgins secured $2.4 million in December, friends of the couple say they are renting an apartment in Melbourne and face bankruptcy.
One imagines that spending so much money in a short time, would have made her ideal for Labor politics.
90
The Vida Fund is a significant financial supporter of Teal candidates – so Mme ‘Iggins involvement comes at some risk for these daughters of privilege.
Aside from extracting $2.4m of my money from a grateful Albanese Government, the lady has a track record that’s not exactly brimming with success. It’s altogether possible that she may not be quite as influential to ON-attracted female voters as she was to Katy Gallagher.
00
It’s interesting that the Liberals/National Party in Australia are suggesting that One Nation and the Coalition do not fight each other, agree not to compete in certain seats. That means nothing more than Liberals are afraid for their seats too.
A real Conservative deal would be a simle preference swap to join forces and let the voters decide who they want. It would be great to see many of the priveleged Green Liberals, Malcolm’s Liberals wiped out. The same ones who defenstrated Tony Abbott and then pushed Climate Change and protected every bit of insane, rapacious Labor/Green/Teal legislation and wild spending off budget. $2.2Trillion in debts and rocketing.
Otherwise nothing would change when what is needed is a wholesale repeal and destruction of mad Green legislation, carbon credits, gender, hate speech, taxation. Electricity prices alone would halve and business, energy exploration would boom. And just stop Snowy II. Stop building transmission towers. Stop building a national ‘grid’ no one needs. And start building high efficiency coal power, if only to double coal reserves.
110
As I heard the suggestion it was about targeting Labor held electorates with the objective to get rid of Labor government and that first preference by both parties and candidates [ 2 ] be listed as the other party candidate.
In fact there was a statement published in the past few days about this, and earlier I heard Angus Taylor and others comment that all conservative parties must cooperate.

They should compete for ALL seats but preference each other as you say, TdeF.

Another example of the dividends of crime in Victoria:
https://7news.com.au/video/news/victorian-prisoners-receive-free-ozempic-behind-bars-bc-6397616895112
In 2023 Victoria spent $409/day on adult prisoners and $5051/day on child prisoners. Maybe England had the right idea a couple of centuries ago. There are a few uninhabited rocks/islands in Bass Strait. Just transport the crims to the rocks and let them fend for themselves. Survive or die. I wonder how many would be transported before crime became history. The ones who survive could make a good living posting their exploits on Youtube. I expect there would be media organisations willing to send them a phone so they could record their survival. A new model for the prison system.
90
I suggest the prison would be a good place for a placebo controlled trial of calorie control versus the “fat drug!” It should be easy to control calories in the control group. Do not feed them too much. Then have some on the fat drug and some on saline shots. It would be interesting!
00
How are they even getting enough food to get fat?
They should be provided basic nutritional requirements only.
And certainly not given hugely expensive trendy weight loss drugs.

FWIW
FWIW – IPCC RCP 8.5 fall-out!

Suspect that useless piece of paper, “Paris Accord”, might be implicated.

Exactly what it is, a useless piece of paper that cannot be enforced internationally, and only when compliant governments are willing.

I would extend the phrase to FIRE THE LIARS – and include all the government funded criminal organisations pedalling the UN agenda – they include their ABC, their CSIRO and their BoM. They must now know they are lying or are completely incompetent and should not be taking taxpayer money.

I got this text from One Nation, probably the whole country did:
The linked site lists some of Albo-sleazy’s lies:
21
See immigration intake statistics including average intake in government periods since 2000-2007 and Howard Governmemt average 125,800 compared to the Abbott to Morrison governments 2013-2022 average 168,700 and since 2022 Albanese Labor average 424,300
One Nation policy is for 130,000 intake a year !!!

Trump says Times Up to Iran
Negations around the Peace Deal taking too long.
Not that the peace treaty meant anything anyway.
Meantime two more maritime tankers disabled in the Gulf of Oman for attempting to run the US blockade.
And Trump says 200 ships have successfully transited the Strait of Hormuz, which is more than previously suspected.

Todays Sydney Morning Herald reports that AI data centres will be required to curtail power usage during peak periods to guard against blackouts. An admission the grid is not fit for purpose?
As I understand it, AI needs 24/7 reliability.
Perhaps they’ll use diesel generators.
10
AI data centres need to run 24/7.
You can’t just turn them off when the wind stops blowing and the sun stops shining and the Unicorns stop flatulating.
I just don’t understand why anyone would want to set up a data centre in Australia, or indeed any other type of business, unless the actual purpose was to harvest taxpayer-funded subsidies as I mentioned yesterday.
It just shows you the staggering cluelessness of our politicians and Leftists in general.
