Just in case it is of use to somebody. Daughter in law got a good photo of the aurora from near Mudgee NSW,
She couldn’t see it, but her phone camera could.
70
What model of phone was that?
10
What colour was it?
Green is the lowest energy level for an aurora and SHOULD be the first one generated and visible. Red is higher energy and should be fringed by green, (at the edges as the energy level falls off).
If the photo shows red….. maybe it’s not an aurora but likely some thermal artifact of the sensor.
Can you publish the pic? Would love to see an aurora that isn’t in Norway or south of Tasmania.
30
The glow is purple/pink. The aspect is close to south. I don’t know the camera.
10
If you have permission, can you post the pic.
All the aurora pics I have show green. Red/pink/purple are often thermal problems, (at least in my cameras with long exposures).

I know every reader on Jo’s blog loves electric cars so wonder how they are coping with negative equity on their vehicles?
https://www.telegraph.co.uk/business/2024/10/16/electric-car-drivers-being-plunged-into-negative-equity/
110
The buyers I know are not concerned. It is a luxury second car.
Those people buying business transport on a lease, the bulk of new cars buyers, will find they cannot flip the car and will have to write it off. It’s not an investment in any sense. Hertz proved this in the US where they dumped all their electric cars mainly as no one wanted to rent them but also because the maintenance costs were double.
It’s a bit like solar power. Fine if you want power only at lunch time in summer on a clear day. Utterly predictably zero at night. We will end up like the Romans using nett zero olive oil at night to read papyrus and vellum text.

James O’Keefe records a Senior Meta engineer explaining how FakeBook’s algorithm suppresses anti-Kamala posts
Zuckerbucks obviously lied a few weeks ago when he apologized for Facebook’s election interference last time.
He thinks we believe that.
He’s no more sorry about that than he was the very first time he testified before Congress.
From the comments:
>…blatant ELECTION INTERFERENCE. Mark Zuckerberg and everyone involved belongs in prison. META is doing exactly what they did in 2020 all over again. Rigging elections is the purest form of treason and everyone involved should share the punishment that carries.

If there is an honest election and Trump is elected, he needs to remove Section 230 protection from social media.
This law allows social media to claim they are like a telephone service and not responsible for the content of their platforms. I.e. they are not a publisher.
The fact that non-Musk social media engages in extensive censorship and pushing a particular political point of view means they are in fact publishers with all the responsibilities and liabilities that go with that.
They do in fact perform extensive election interference by suppressing non-Leftist opinions. It was never “the Russians” but Leftist social(ist) media itself. I always said Zuck’s “apology” was disingenuous.

Would it not be better to keep the protection of Section 230 but strengthen provisions against editing and censorship by the social media platforms?

Australia already has digital ID.
It’s supposedly voluntary at the moment, only woke Leftists will eagerly submit to it.
But it’s only a matter of time before it becomes compulsory for the rest of us.
70
Let’s hope that the digital ID’s are not hacked. Imagine a list of all lefties being available on the net for anyone to flick through.
What could you do with this list? Target EV sales brochures? Offer them discounts at gender reassignment clinics? Mental health advise after elections? Send them rental agreements so the current wave of migrants can take up residence in their spare rooms?
Or maybe just give the list to a Nigerian prince. Why shouldn’t they get to help a person in need too, they could make a few dollars on the side as a bonus.

I rec’d a notification from MyGov yesterday, telling me that it will henceforth be known as ‘MyID’, which sounds to me like a step toward universal digital ID laws. Why bother with the expense of rebranding otherwise?

Dr John Campbell interviews Australian MP Russell Broadbent who wrote to the PM with the following letter. Video at https://youtu.be/LDH16SLr8v0
I don’t expect the PM or his minders to understand or care and as the Left keep telling us “the science is settled” and “the experimental covid vaccines (sic) are fully safe and effective”. You know how scientific fact is decided by “consensus” …LoL.
Note that the Australian Government is still pushing covid “vaccines” and you are required to be covid “vaccinated” to get an organ transplant. If you don’t get the covid vax the Government is happy to let you die awaiting an organ. Compulsory vaccination still exists for some professions. For example, I have a friend who applied for some Victoriastan public service jobs and vaccination for covid was compulsory.

Thoughts on my personal psychological preparation as an American for the looming political storm as result of the next POTUS selection voodoo ritual. (You’re welcome.)
Functional basic situation:
The Pandemic demonstrated beyond doubt, that the Intelligentsia of the Western “democracies” are beyond recovery.
The elite education system has been turning out monsters for a least a few decades and these have fully infiltrated the basic institutions that gave us what is likely the ultimate medical, cultural, and political disaster of modern history.
This, if not perpetrated for purpose, provided cover for the faux legalized de-legitimizing of the American election process which was only barely legitimate in the first place.
Add on top the corruption of the Federal legal and intelligence administrative agencies, including large swaths of the courts, protected from scrutiny by an infiltrated legacy media and the information elitists information censors at Googly and TheirTube.
So I says to myself …
the most survivable outcome is the inevitable election theft … resulting in the first indefinable female POCPOTUS … after which America will remain irredeemably racist.
If the Democrats loose, they will become unhinged.
The Deep State will deploy its’ Antifa and BLM Brown Shirt Color Revolutionaries.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colour_revolution
Disappointed Trump supporters, including moi, will likely continue to show up for work, growing and delivering food, and fixing and building things. (Though likely to be subjected to random political persecution.)
It may be better that the new zealots be given the keys to the family car and just run it into a ditch.
They’ve already pretty much flattened the tires.
Complete failure may be the least catastrophic path to recovery.

Lose vs loose, hate it when I mix those up.

Honk,
Here’s a couple of questions I have been wondering about after looking over Polymarket;
1) Trump bet today is 61% to win election when most poles say Trump is behind?
2) Polymarket bets 66% Harris will win popular vote, I bet Trump will get >75 million & I bet Harris gets <75 million and if she does, what do you think will be the first question??
3) When Trump wins will there be an dumbocrap insurrection on January 20th?? Or Some significant attemptSS (yes multiple!) to deny Trump the presidency??
70
and an addendum to my 3) above;
10
‘Elections’ are not an obstacle when Saving Democracy.
They will exercise what power they wish.
The issue is the legalese costume construction.
The plan is to paint the pig with section 3 of the 14th Amendment.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fourteenth_Amendment_to_the_United_States_Constitution
The reason so much effort went into developing the ‘Insurrection’ narrative.
(Antifa and BLM rioters are ‘protestors’, MAGA protestors are ‘insurrectionists’.)
The FBI has admitted to agents placed in Jan. 6.
A report is soon to be released, conveniently post election, that may reveal more detail.
Late on a Friday, before a holiday.
Additionally, psyop preparation is under way.
The recently recently retired head of the JCOS just told Watergate Bob Woodward that “Trump is a fascist”.

Dostoevsky loved humanity but hated the jews.
02
Not true, E+G.
Dostoevsky was absolutely sick person – eg just read what he wrote about Poles and other bipeds…
Still, in my list of writers he is in front of Pushkin and other geniuses….
50
A man of his time, a prolific writer and serious Christian, spent time behind bars where he came across Poles. Needless to say they didn’t get along.
Crime and Punishment is a classic.
02
You touched on a critical point. It is not about one writer even if very important.
My education was technical (no studies of philosophy or religion) and my opinion is one of a user, not developer.
I doubt that he was true Christian – see his relationship with opposite sex. He loved Christianity but can you please think for a moment – if he was a Baptist or Seven Days (whatever…) but still lived in Russia?
In Russia today former communists become so passionate Defenders of the Faith! I do not believe for one second there are Christians.
40
May I correct what I said above – Dostoevsky loved Christin Church and tolerated Jesus Christ.
By the way, it is hard be untouched with all the attributes – singing, icons, Bible parables, one feels like a thinking and compassionate person
Greta Tunberg tolerates green leaves as long as they are not carbonised.
Our leaders tolerate (with a bit of difficulty) struggling families…

Global warming hysteria seems to be related to Christian millenarianism.

I can’t put a number on that but I do know Singaporeans and I do know drugs are available and used, despite the death penalty.
Granted it’s tiny there compared to most everywhere else though, and obviously it’s well hidden.
Nobody wants to lose their head and although the threat is frighteningly real, Singapore don’t particularly relish the ugly spectacle of executions. They are after all, a superbly sophisticated and civilised country.

Fantastic news, but I’m sure a sad day for the Left, the Hamas terrorist leader Yahya Sinwar, was killed by the Israelis.

Yahya Sinwar Dies as He Lived
Had Israel listened to Biden, the terrorist would still be alive.
By The WSJ Editorial Board
The death of Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar on Thursday is a proper measure of justice for his lifetime of murder, and with any luck it will be a step toward a cease-fire in Gaza and an end to Hamas’s terrorist rule in the territory.
Israelis fulfilled one of their main war aims in killing Sinwar, who is believed to have planned the surprise attack and massacre of 1,200 men, women and children on Oct. 7, 2023. Hamas also took 250 hostages, and about 100 are still being held, dead or alive.
Sinwar was killed by Israeli soldiers operating in southern Gaza, after he had escaped detection for more than a year by hiding, almost certainly in Hamas’s vast underground tunnel network. He was found with several passports, which could mean he was looking for a way to flee the territory as the Israel Defense Forces hunted for him.
“I am standing here today to announce that Yahya Sinwar was eliminated,” Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said in a short video statement on Thursday night. “Hamas will no longer rule Gaza,” he added, but “the war isn’t over.”
Sinwar’s demise adds to the impressive Israeli record in killing the leaders of the jihadist radical groups bent on the destruction of the J@wish state.
Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah was killed by 2,000-pound bombs in Lebanon last month, while Hamas political leader Ismail Haniyeh was assassinated in Tehran in July. Most of Hamas’s military commanders and hundreds of its fighters have also been killed.
This is crucial as a deterrent against future attacks, signaling that the lifespan of future terrorist leaders will be short.

The Good Guys Score Another Win: Hamas Political Chief Blew up Real Good
While you might have already seen the headline elsewhere, some of the reactions are priceless — and I’ve gathered some of the best of them here for you.
While this photo of Sinwar’s blown-up corpse might not quite be “the most iconic photo in history,” it’s certainly way up there on the list in Israel’s history — and for anyone who believes in the sacred task of protecting civilization from barbarians.
“Well, you could say Sinwar is more open-minded now,” Matthew Dempster replied.
Noam Bloom tweeted, “At least now Sinwar can engage in his favorite pastime — being underground.”

The IDF should have kept him reasonably alive, just enough so that after he was given to some less forgiving friends & families of deceased hostages they could emphasise on him how they & the hostages have suffered. I think about a month of emphasis would be a reasonable amount of emphasis!!

Disappointing Keith.
I had some problems with my previous I-Phne8, battery capacity was down and the charger receptacle seemed faulty with intermittent connection.
I ordered a new battery and a set of tools to replace it on EBay. One has to be careful here as it is quite easy to get the wrong battery!
I watched the YouTube videos and then got to work. It is not that easy the first time. In the end I did get the new battery installed and working but I lost several tiny screws in the process.
In the end I had to buy a new phone anyway because I could not repair the charger receptacle.

Singapore Officially Releases Annual Birth and Death Report 2023: Post Vax Deaths Continues to Erupt and Stunning Declining Births
https://metatron.substack.com/cp/147482411
Singapore releases annual births and deaths in a single report, from which one can easily calculate the natural increase in the population (ie births -deaths = natural increase in pop).
Singapore still has a positive natural increase. The long term trend since 2014 has been a gradually declining natural increase but the trend has accelerated quite markedly since the Covid vaccinations began. Births are down and deaths are up.

Two stories from, as the wonderful Katie Hopkins describes it, “Batshit Bonkers Britain” today, emphasising yet again that western governments have pretty much turned their police forces into political enforcers. Law and order has gone out of the window in favour of pursuing and eradicating any behaviour, even simply speech, that the government doesn’t like:
In the first story, a woman merely TWEETED that she didn’t care if the recent rioters who protested the murders of two little girls burned the migrant hotels down. She didn’t burn them down, nor did she actually take part.
She was jailed for 31 months.
In the second article, a woman working for a charity that supported sick children stole thousands of pounds of donations to spend on herself, including a holiday in New York, evenings in cocktail bars and trips to the coast.
She was spared jail, receiving instead a light slap on the wrist.
Having said that police and the legal system now targets the government’s opponents more than criminals, there is another possible explanation for the difference in outcomes, which might occur to you when you see photos of the women in question …

A Bulletproof Guide for Dealing with Haters, Trolls, and Critics like a Pro
Why “haters gonna hate”
They see your opinion as a personal attack
It’s normal for us to have differences of opinion. Haters take this reality as an act of war. They want us all to agree with them, or they’ll take you down. It’s an immature way to live life online.
They hate themselves
Stop worrying about being liked by people who don’t even like themselves — Lawrence King
Life can cause us to take an emotional beating. Online hate is a release valve for many people. They don’t like who they’ve become and being a troll is easier than dealing with their own problems. To them, it’s the world’s fault and life is unfair. So you must suffer online abuse.
I’ve never met a happy person who gets mad online — @SaveYourSons
They seek revenge
Revenge destroys you if you indulge. Haters get upset when you succeed or do something they have dreamt of doing. Their game plan is to get revenge at the cost of your reputation. Don’t join the game and expect revenge for the pain their harsh comments cause you.

Slovakia Moves to Ban ‘Dangerous’ Covid ‘Vaccines,’ Declares Pandemic a ‘Fabricated Operation’
Top government officials in Slovakia are moving to ban “dangerous” Covid mRNA shots from the country after an explosive investigation determined that the pandemic was a “fabricated operation” and the “vaccines” were a resulting “act of bioterrorism.”
The findings were revealed in a Slovak government commission report on the nation’s investigations into the Covid pandemic.
The investigation was led by Commissioner Peter Kotlár.
In releasing his report, Kotlár held a press conference to call for the immediate ban of the Covid mRNA injections and called on governments around the world to do the same.

Big Pharma Pushes Controversial ‘Fentanyl Vaccine’ For Childhood Immunization Schedule
Big Pharma and the National Institute of Health (NIH) are making a controversial push to add a new fentanyl vaccine to the childhood immunization schedule, sparking heated debates about its potential impact and necessity.
The fentanyl vaccine initiative follows the ongoing opioid crisis, which has claimed hundreds of thousands of lives in the US, and mainstream media has already begun promoting the idea.
The concept is simple: the vaccine would produce antibodies that target fentanyl in the bloodstream, preventing it from reaching the central nervous system, where it can be fatal.
Despite its promise, the proposal has raised questions about the ethics, effectiveness, and social implications of adding such a vaccine to childhood immunization schedules.

It has been pointed out in various places that the democrats weren’t running on a platform as such, only on “Not Trump”.
And now they are in a situation where “Why not Trump?” is a viable question without an answer that they can sell

The bombshell of the night dropped when a voter asked Elon Musk, “Do you think there is a shadow government behind the Biden-Harris administration?”
Musk replied with an awesome answer.
First off, he said, “It’s not Biden. We know that for a fact. The dude has barely got two functional neurons.”
What about Kamala? Elon answered that it’s not her either. “They just replaced the Biden puppet with the Kamala puppet, very obviously. If the teleprompter stops working, then the puppet breaks, and it’s like, ‘Oh, the puppet just starts looping because the teleprompter broke.’”
So who is it? Musk said that he believes “There isn’t any one sort of puppet master but maybe a thousand or “a lot.”
During his interview with Tucker Carlson, Musk said that there is a very high chance that Kamala’s top puppet masters happen to also be on the Epstein client list.
He explained that’s why they’re so terrified of a Trump victory because if Trump wins the election, the Epstein client list is coming out.
Musk believes in this crossover relationship so strongly that he said it again during today’s speech.
“[It’ll] be interesting to see the crossover between the Epstein client list and Kamala’s puppet masters. I bet there’s a lot of names that appear in both lists.”

There Are BLINKING LIGHTS in Peoples’ Blood.
“…Pfizer BioNTech COVID -19 injection when it was first put on a slide. And in the background you see all of this blinking lights and extreme activity. This is 100 times magnification. And here you see something has self-assembled that we call microchips, because we have done studies that these microchips are actually emitting what’s called a “MAC address phenomenon…”

This self-assembling nanotech nonsense just won’t die.
These idiots make Kamala look like Einstein.

Emitting a MAC adress phenomenon? I would love to know what he thinks that means

Absurd stuff like that is designed to convince people that any and all concerns about nanostructures assembling themselves in vaccinated blood are baseless and lunatic-fringe theories. This might indeed be the case, but until I see credible refutation, I will give the less ridiculous claims a little of my attention, nutjobs (who are probably just provaxxers posing as “antivaxxers”) notwithstanding.

Friday sarcasm: USA edition
I took down my Rebel flag (which you can’t buy on e-bay any more) and peeled the NRA sticker off the front door.
I disconnected my home alarm system and quit the candy-ass
Neighborhood Watch.
I bought two Pakistani flags and put one at each corner of the front yard.
Then I purchased the black flag of ISIS (which you CAN buy on e-bay) and put it in the CENTER of the yard.
Now, the local police, sheriff, FBI, CIA, NSA, Homeland Security, Secret Service and other agencies are all watching my house 24/7. I’ve NEVER felt safer and I’m saving $69.95 a month that ADT charged me.
Plus, I bought burkas for my family when we shop or travel.
Everyone moves out of our way and security can’t pat us down.
SAFE AT LAST…..

A definition:
“A democracy is a form of government that empowers the people to exercise political control, limits the power of the head of state, provides for the separation of powers between governmental entities, and ensures the protection of natural rights and civil liberties.”
Doesn’t seem to describe US or Shtraya at all, especially from the last comma. ToM

The devil is always in the detail. Note that the definition says, ” … ensures the protection of natural rights and civil liberties.”
Which is true; it’s just that those rights and civil liberties apply, under leftist rule, only to leftists.

Greatest Hits: Trump Gets Big Laughs at Al Smith Dinner, Roasting Harris, Biden, Media Elite
Critics praised former President Donald Trump’s performance at the Al Smith Dinner on Thursday as one of his funniest speeches of all time.
Trump spoke for about 30 minutes and roasted several notables in attendance, such as New York Mayor Eric Adams (D), Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY), and even himself.
Vice President Kamala Harris was the butt of many jokes, but she did not attend the charity dinner. It was the first time a Democrat candidate skipped the dinner since 1984, when Ronald Reagan soundly drubbed Walter Mondale.
“If you really wanted Vice President Harris to accept your invitation, I guess you should have told her the funds were going to bail out the looters and rioters in Minneapolis and she would’ve been here guaranteed,” Trump mocked Harris and Gov. Tim Walz (D).
Trump made fun of President Joe Biden, second gentleman Doug Emhoff, and Gov. Gretchen Whitmer (D), among others.
Below are 17 of Trump’s greatest jokes from the evening:
Self-Deprecating:

PRESIDENT TRUMP: “It is a true pleasure to be with you this evening… and these days, it’s really a pleasure ANYWHERE in New York without a subpoena for my appearance.”

PRESIDENT TRUMP: “The fact is, we need new leadership in this country. Right now we have someone in the White House who can barely talk, barely put together two coherent sentences, who seems to have the mental faculties of a child… But enough about Kamala Harris.”

Unfortunately, Governor Walz isn’t here himself. But don’t worry, he’ll say that he was.”

How to Fight (and Win) an Information War | Peter Pomerantsev | TED

Journalist explains how Sefton Delmer tried to undermine Nazi propaganda (my summary):
1. Break the monopoly the regime propaganda has on strong emotion by throwing mud.
2. Give people useful facts they can use for resistance or lessening their dependence on the regime.
3. Foster alternative communities outside the regime.
This could be useful, no matter which side of the misinformation war you find yourself on.

“Delmer wrote two volumes of autobiography, Trail Sinister (1961) and Black Boomerang (1962)”
Particularly take note of some things in the current German constitution that are hold overs from pre WW2 and that he thought should not be in it.

Sounds just like the insulation scam.. Pop-up companies run by criminals bribing politicians to get contracts and then using installers who have no clue about what they are doing on solar plants, maintenance crews who have had the expensive older guys fired and are full of green young school dropouts..
..and everyone takes the money and runs!
““The reality is no one has any idea of the bullshit that goes on in monopolised industries awash with cash funnelled by governments and provided by consumers….He also referred to a new solar farm “built so poorly by a company that has stood over the owners by way of government green promises being held to their client’s head so that their approved variations run into tens of millions yet they are more than 12 months behind in delivery and handover.”

So Australia is getting rid of 49 old Abrams tanks by sending them to Ukraine to be broken up for scrap. The Yanks have twisted the arm of Marles to pony up three and a half billion dollars to buy new ones and keep the military-Industrial complex going over there. Its just us paying protection money to the schoolyard bully..
Seeing that the Abrams the Yanks sent to Ukraine haven’t made a difference at all, I can’t see the point of it, we could scrap them here and sell the steel to China! Of course, if they look like being a nuisance on the battlefield the obvious thing to do is sink the ship taking them over there and get rid of them all at once. Russia could do it as soon as the ship hits international waters and we could do nothing about it.
By the time we get organised and actually do it, the war will probably be over, maybe that’s what Albanese is working on.. That $3.5billion would buy a lot of drone research here, specialising in tank-killer drones.
