This from an appointed investigator publicized in Congressional testimony after the election, before which it was purposely withheld.

200
Yes.
It was apparantly a “creeping assumption” that a decision had been made to hire private hotel security. Nobody knew who made the decision – if any decision was made. Nobody claimed responsibility for any decision made/not made.
The sham Covid inquiry was another waste of taxpayer dollars.
Just another political backside covering inquiry.

Having contracted to various Melbourne councils, Victorian state government departments, etc. in my working life, I can categorically state that NOTHING gets to the contract stage without endless emails, meetings (with recorded minutes), approvals, verification of qualifications and competencies, insurance guarantees, cost estimates, etc., etc……. The very idea of a ‘creeping assumption’ is bizarre and ludicrous. These people thrive on bureaucratic bullshit, their only function.
There’s certainly a ‘creepy’ feeling.

TdeF,
In the olden days investigative reporting Watergate style would have stopped some of the rot early in its tracks.
The modern mass media were missing in action. Worse, there are signs of complicity in corruption.
Can we have a return to old style journalism with a strong quest for the truth?

Traditional journalism was destroyed sometime in the 1970’s.
It used to be that journalism was something that was learned “on the job” and/or with a diploma.
Then it became something that was learned at what have become the Leftist indoctrination centres known as “universities”.
In Australia the crucial time appears to have been under Whitlam with a massive expansion of the university system to turn them from centres of scholarship to centres of Leftist political indoctrination.
At the same time “journalist” “education” became more formalised. E.g.:
I’m guessing something similar happened in other Western countries.
200
“Churnalists” may have once been “reporters”, a LONG time ago.
General William Tecumseh Sherman had some thoughts on the matter:
“”I hate newspapermen. They come into camp and pick up their camp rumors and print them as facts. I regard them as spies, which, in truth, they are. If I killed them all, there would be news from Hell before breakfast.”
See also: Thomas Jefferson:
“”Nothing can now be believed which is seen in a newspaper. Truth itself becomes suspicious by being put into that polluted vehicle. The real extent of this state of misinformation is known only to those who are in situations to confront facts within their knowledge with the lies of the day.”
Then they discovered the REAL power of “opinion-shaping”.
Hence, the “mangy tail” that wags the “rabid dog” of politics.
Their greatest psycho-sexual jolly is to hear or read their own “facts” being spouted by the gullible punters.
And, that, it has been suggested, is their “finest point”.
150
Sherman and Jefferson accurately foretold the arrival of Trump amd Musk both of whom fit perfectly into the above definitions. Plus ça change, plus c’est la même chose.

“The window to the world can be covered by a newspaper.” A quote by Stanislav Jerzy Lec

It needs to be funded. When all the advertising dollars go to the internet giants, that’s not going to happen. Journalism used to be a job, until the Michelle Grattan school of lecturing the audience took over. Content free opinions. Propaganda. Pulpit preaching. Now we have teenagers, leftist demagogues and old commentators like Paul Kelly who act as if they know it all when they are simply old and out of touch. And everything has spin, not facts and experience.

TdeF,
I know some old style journalists who are quite concerned by the loss of quality and integrity in their craft. One can only hope that the young journos of today include some who wish to retain the best aspects of past experience. I am pessimistic about some high quality shining through because of the present popularity of “if it bleeds, it leads.” There is no inherent reason why journos should promote guns, murder, violence, belief over fact, etc. They have the option of writing about happy, progressive, educational matters.
When they write of 14 year olds stealing cars and using machetes and ramming police cars, I sigh and say to myself “what do you expect? You are popularising this obscene conduct.” Geoff S

Yes, ‘if it bleeds, it leads’, get it out first, corrections later, on page 36.

Who killed JFK? : It looks like it was James Earl Files who fired the fatal shot at his brain. Lee Harvey Oswald shot from behind into Kennedy’s back. Although a serious wound, it likely would have been survivable. However, James Earl Files fired the fatal shot from the front, at Kennedy’s brain.
61
I think the big problem for Trump administration is that James Earl Files (83) is still alive.

What Stood Out in Trump’s First Month?
Writers for the WS Journal’s opinion pages size up the president’s actions at the start of his second term.
Kim Strassel What stands out most in Donald Trump’s first month isn’t any one action, but the professionalism behind the aggressive and action-packed game plan.
It’s a new bar for incoming presidents, and a stark contrast to the shambolic first months of Mr. Trump’s first term.
The president’s public events tend toward the rambling, but the press is mistaken to present his team as similarly unruly.
Consider: A month in, the administration has a nearly full complement of confirmed cabinet heads. The border is under control, and criminals are being deported.
The White House has issued nearly 80 executive orders, targeting energy restrictions, the bureaucracy, DEI, transgenderism and censorship.
It is dismantling Biden-era regulations and shutting down entire programs.
The president has met with many foreign leaders and withdrawn from global entities.
Congress is progressing on the president’s tax reform.
Broadly—whether you like the agenda or not—this first month is clearly the work of a far more experienced team, one that spent years preparing to make the most of a final Trump term.

But as she left, of her own accord, before being formally discharged, she was deemed to be ‘missing’. A nurse later called Mr Cope to see if his wife had been in touch. He called the police before frantically searching the streets himself.
She eventually arrived home, by taxi, at 12.30am. Retired Manchester Airport baggage handler Mr Cope said police and paramedics knocked on his door in the early hours, saying his wife needed to go back to hospital to be assessed.
As part of standard practice when dealing with patients deemed to be missing, the hospital had alerted Greater Manchester Police and the North West Ambulance Service.
“I told them I would not allow her to go back to hospital,” he said. “I was then arrested, handcuffed and placed in a van while my wife was questioned. In my 74 years, I have never been in trouble with the police. The handcuffs cut into my wrist and the van was freezing.”
130
This sounds like the Missus is in mental decline and in a situation where “one thing led to another”, it got confusing. Everyone involved should apologize to each other, and all go home.
Relatives, friends, and such of the lady might be concerned and see if she needs help. It happens.
70
I don’t agree. The behaviour of police officers is becoming increasingly hostile toward non-threatening members of the public and this needs to stop. This is bad enough on its own, but at the same time they are treating belligerent suspects with kid gloves. The relationship between police and law-abiding public MUST be mustually respectful for society to work, but western law enforcement is becoming more and more like government ‘enforcers’. If the police adopt a silo mentality, “It’s us against the public.”, we’re in trouble.
290
It appears they are no longer allowed to do actual police work so they take there energy out on low to zero threat members of the public like this and pursuing mean tweets with extreme prejudice.
Back at home I use to be a supporter of the police , but post Covid that changed.
131
I see and hear of many examples of police intimidation in the last 20 odd years, although I Suspect it has always gone on. Personally he only time I would co operate with police would be for murder, serious assault or missing persons. Voluntarily.
61
Your examples of police intimidation fit perfectly to the way Trump and Musk operate
18
You obviously were not on the ground in Melbourne in 2021. I can give you first hand examples – previously published on these pages- of the brutal treatment by Victorian police of the very people they swore an oath to protect. NOTHING will ever vindicate their despicable actions. Never forget, never forgive.
30
>…the very people they swore an oath to protect.
Disappointingly AFAIK the sworn oath is not to serve and protect the community, the citizens, the innocent, or whatever else we might hope or imagine.
To the best of my knowledge the sworn oath is to serve and protect the Crown.
Perhaps there’s a sworn member here who can confirm or deny.

This is the “new normal” in Pommyland.
And, it is not exactly “new”.
It is calculated provocation of the “peasants”. And every time someone attempts to stick their head over the parapet, they will be subject to the full panoply of legal and extra-legal “attitude adjustment”
Watch this space.
160
Conclusions jumped to are questionable.
The woman went to Wythenshawe Hospital, voluntarily, earlier that day. She left of her own accord after it was decided she did not require further treatment. She left before being formally discharged. Nurses called the husband – he called the police.
Where I live, if there is a domestic dispute going on, or health care workers think there might be, then there will be repercussions, such as someone will spend the night in jail. Note the word “will”.
In this case, because the husband was trying to prevent the women from being examined and questioned – Did the man abuse or hit her? – How to find out – ask her without him being around.
As mentioned, the man’s behavior would earn him a night in jail.
20
If she was in hospital for abuse, I don’t think the nurses would have called her husband when she went missing?
You are reading a lot into this that is not there to justify police actions.
You might find Underbelly an eye-opening bit of entertainment – remember, what we know about is only the tip of the iceberg.

Listening to the great British Broadcasting Corporation this morning talking to people a little upset that they are about to be surrounded by hundreds of acres of solar farm, they trotted out a spokesman for some climate research mob justifying it. When he explained the country needed to go electric so the country had ‘energy security’ I nearly cried. How on earth can we have energy security from intermittent energy sources while ignoring the gas we are sat on. It is so despairing.
410
Not only that, but I bet that Civilisation destroying edifice was built on productive farmland.
Not only are the Left trying to destroy the energy supply, but the food supply as well.

Britain is famously sunny so we should get at least 12 hours of energy every day from the panels even in winter and another 4 hours each night. Or so Miliband probably believes

Britains Ed Milliband and Australias Chris Bowen were both probably hatched from the same egg.
They are both insufferable, arrogant clowns.

Tis the same here. What they say makes no sense in the light of observable reality around the world, but they prattle on about energy security, lower costs and becoming “renewable energy superpowers”
It cant happen, it wont happen , despite decades and trillions it hasn’t happened anywhere in the world. It only makes sense in the LaLa Land that they inhabit.

The woke is strong in the Socialist Morning Herald.
They couldn’t bring themselves to say “women” but described women as “people with a uterus”.
How misogynistic not to acknowledge women by their correct term.
These Leftists are the same ones telling us that the planet is boiling, women can gave penises and Orange Man Bad and expect the Thinking Community to take them seriously.
250
So are men described as people without a uterus and not chest feeders? There are many types of humans apparently. For example in the morning Herald there are people without a brain. It’s common enough.
260
And according to the AP style guide, there are also Black people who are fundamentally different. Like Aboriginals. It’s not just skin colour. Who needs doctors and scientists when you have political science?
160
People without a brain are in great demand for Government vacancies!
It would appear to be western democracies ailment!!

Voters without a brain are catered for by the Labor, Green and Teal parties.
Those with half a brain are catered for by the fake conservative Liberal Party.

“They couldn’t bring themselves to say “women” but described women as “people with a uterus”.”
You seem not to be aware that thanks to Donald Trump’s sweeping executive orders attacking “gender ideology” the word “women” – along with a number of other terms – is quite literally being erased.

https://legalinsurrection.com/2025/02/is-it-time-to-rethink-the-culling-of-poultry-in-response-to-bird-flu/
It’s about TRUMP thinking whether the wholesale killing of poultry is the best way to combat bird flu.
I have mentioned this on these esteemed pages several times myself. Surely if you don’t cull the birds, the naturally resistant ones will live and create a new generation of resistant birds?
Also, bird flu isn’t a threat to human health as it’s very hard to get – with the caveat that “gain of function” “research” is being done on avian influenza, unbelievably to make it EASIER for humans to catch.
It’s all part of the Left’s war against the food supply and inexpensive enjoyable chicken meat and eggs. They would rather we eat insects instead.
I’m glad the TRUMP team are onto this.

“Wisconsin Gov. Tony Evers (D) supported a Democrat Senate bill that would replace the word “mother” with the word “inseminated person.

Unlike most other countries committed to the “green” energy scam, Australia is fairly unique in not being able to import electricity from adjacent countries when the wind stops blowing and the sun stops shining.
And we have limited hydro.
Plus the fake conservative Liberal Party banned nuclear twice. First when they stopped the building of the Jervis Bay reactor in 1971 then again by law under Howard in 1998.
That Jervis Bay reactor might still have been running today, had it been completed.
New Zealand is also isolated and fully woke but has plenty of hydro and geothermal to keep the lights on.
Once Great Britain can import nuclear from France or hydro from Scandinavia and similar for other European countries.
Canada can import power from the United States.
The United States under TRUMP will make their own power with plenty to export to Canada, Mexico and beyond.
In Australia, we are getting dangerously close to the lights going out. We are already at that stage but at the moment we are only saved by payments of taxpayer money to aluminium smelters to allow them to be “load shed” as the wind stops blowing and the sun shining.
311
“New Zealand is also isolated and fully woke”
Yeah but that nice Dictator Xi (pronounced ‘she’ oddly) has sent some of his (her?) navy to protect us from… from… um, shark attacks? Foreign invasion? Rising sea levels? Wrongthink? The world is getting smaller – and a little too close for comfort – but at least we’ve sent our one remaining coastguard ship to ‘monitor’ the situation off the coast of NSW.
And as for “the lights going out”, after last winter’s debacle when green naïve energy ground to a standstill and Huntly coal-powered Station had to crank-up to keep people from freezing – burning through 800,000 tonnes of imported Indonesian coal – the CEO of Genesis Energy has now stockpiled a further 1,000,000 tonnes of dirty Indonesian coal for this winter because CLIMATE CLIMATE cannot guarantee the sun will always shine and the wind will always blow.
Jacinda’s WEF legacy: thousands of people departing every month on one-way-tickets, more children in poverty and ill-health and ill-educated, and despite an ever-growing proliferation of bird choppers and toxic sun panels and exploding e-batteries, Huntly’s coal-powered generators will be, as Genesis’ CEO said, “needed until 2050 at least”.
Now if we could only start digging up and using our own clean high-grade coal – and natural gas – once again we might be getting somewhere.

Get woke, need more coke

DM,
Good points. There is a larger question. Should the Australian law prohibiting nuclear be regarded as valid and long-lasting? It was a grubby deal between Howard and some Greens to allow an earlier build of the Opal reactor at Lucas Heights. There was little to no debate, no sampling of the wishes of Australian people. Surely a valid law needs to pass some compulsory criteria like debate and the will of the people. Did Howard act illegally in the sense of gaining a personal benefit (more voter popularity) by a deal that he was not authorised to make? If so, this is another example of corruption in the style that President Trump is processing. Geoff S
130
DM, “And we have limited hydro”.
Just today I read in our local rag that “Pumped hydro project in planning for Molesworth”!
There is already massive local resistence to planned power lines.
The front page in the same paper carries “New wind farm blows in” for the Puzzle Range, between the towns of Merton, Bonnie Doon and Fawcett.
60
Pumped hydro only gives a limited response for renewables.
El Heiro (Canary Islands) was supposed to replace the diesel oil being burnt by the generators there. It didn’t – Spain won’t say how much the project cost, nor the savings – probably about 40% less fuel.
The Okinawa pumped scheme was stopped fairly soon. In the Falkland Islands the engineers abandoned the pilot scheme (on the second island) very quickly within a year. They were probably aware that the 3 wind turbines had shown about 25% reduction in diesel but tripling that to 9 (all the same type) only increased savings to 40% at best. There are other failures elsewhere. The best I know of was in 1977 in Orkney where there was a sceme drilling into the sea cliffs and relying on wave action to push air up. I was talking to a local there who said that he had some academic looking over the cliff to the rocks below, and came back to the local chap wondering if there would be any objections to clear the rocks down on the shore and was told “No objections and locals don’t stand on those cliffs which collapse without warning, as they did 10 months ago adding more rocks down there.
And there is the Grand Scheme to turn Loch Ness into a pumped hydro to store the wind energy now being wasted by lack of capacity to transmit to England – enormous cost, enormous environmental damage and loss of tourist income. And the wind ‘farms’ get lots of money to not generate.
It won’t, if you pardon the pun, get off the ground..
50
I better buy the local rag, also haven’t heard much about the Strathbogie project, I assume its going ahead and the local population be damned

They certainly shouldn’t be allowed to prosper from the sale of some very expensive real estate that we have paid for

I didn’t see that ridiculous bit about people with uterus in the SMH, I was busy reading about why ordinary people become conspiracy theorists.. instead of relying on Govt experts and ‘the science’.
I will admit the propaganda piece had a line saying “some conspiracy theories are later proven to be true’, the typical sop to people who want balance in everything, but no example of that was given.
..and anyone who disagrees with the official Govt line is-
“And what of the conspiracy theorists themselves? It seems many see themselves as heroes in their own Hollywood story. They are a plucky band of misfits and outsiders who gamely pursue the truth at risk of ridicule or worse, believing they will win in the end. This is a story we are culturally very familiar with. It’s also a seductive narrative that many people could fall for. After all, who doesn’t want to fight baddies and save children? Adherence to a conspiracy theory, or being in the “conspiracy world”, allows people to find a supportive tribe.”
Sadly the author thinks ‘disinfecting with sunlight’ will help stop conspiracy theories, but he wants to apply that to the theories, not to the Govt.
That’s what Monash University thinks anyway.
“Kaz Ross is a researcher into far-right extremism and conspiracy theories.”
I love the left panicking, it confirms so many of my conspiracy theories!

‘ … confirms so many of my conspiracy theories!’
Are far right extremists the most prolific conspiracy theorists? Probably not.
31
Taking it a little further.
‘The relationship between populism and conspiracy theories highlights how populist movements often incorporate conspiracy theories to explain perceived injustices by elites against the people. This dynamic is more prevalent in environments where conspiracy theories are less stigmatized, influencing populist rhetoric and strategies significantly across different global contexts.’ (Michael Butler)

From the Herald Sun 21/2/2025 (Business Daily), Forrest cutting back the greenery

Fortescue share price dropped more than 6.2% on Thursday due to weaker than expected results and dividends.

The Forrest isn’t so green anymore, is it woodborer or the drought.

In my opinion Twiggy is not a Great Australian………loves a subsidy a little too much.

If you know the name, they are in the game – no Great Australians get media coverage.

Interesting how Twiggy blames Trump for his second thoughts on green hydrogen power when Fortescue reported no updates on said projects in the last 6 months of 2024. It’s convenient to blame a newly elected US president when a poorly conceived project isn’t living up to expectations.

Australia has no place for energy hungry smelters. They were attracted to Australia in a bygone era on the back of near free electrical power produced from abundant and easily accessed coal seams. Australia is obligated to follow its UN treaties and annihilate all its heavy industry. Let China buy Australia’s iron ore, coal, bauxite and houses to pay for the good life all Australians deserve.
Australia does not have any leader that comes close to Trupm in distancing the country from the UN inspired globalists.
Trump just shut down all USA government funding for the UNIPCC AR7 report process. The BoM and CSIRO will now have to work with the less funded Climate Crazies™ from Europe.

Austrian Colonel Reisner gives an excellent & interesting summary 22mins 15 secs long, of Ukraine battlefield update in English
The Ukrainian Purgatory – Österreichs Bundesheer
Premiered Feb 22, 2025
Almost 1,100 days after the start of the Russian invasion, clear trends are emerging. Military expert Markus Reisner compares the conflict to a well-known “David vs. Goliath” boxing match: The agile David (David Haye) misses the decisive “lucky punch”, while the higher endurance of Goliath (Nikolai Walujew) is increasingly becoming an advantage.
Austraian Colonel Reisner analyzes the situation in various theaters of war and sheds light on the use of drones. Finally, he looks at the Munich Security Conference, recent statements by US President Trump and their possible consequences — with sobering prospects for Ukraine and Europe.

Apparent outrage over Trumps demand for repayment of moneys given to Ukraine used to fight the war with Russia.
I thought that was the way it worked. The U.K. finally paid back ww 2 loans in 2006. World war 1 loans took a little longer until 2015.

So tell me again – who were the actual winners of those two outbreaks of [organised] world-wide madness? And are they the same loan sharks operating and winning ($$$) today?

A second source close to Trump concurred with the assessment and suggested that “the best case for [Zelensky] and the world is that he leaves to France immediately.”
A Russian analyst chimes in on the above:
Talk of Zelensky moving to France did not start without reason. This is a hint: Volodya, we all know.
Obviously, the Zelensky family’s money is hidden there.
In 2023, Elena Zelenskaya opened special treasury accounts in three banks of the Rothschild holding, hidden from fiscal and anti-money laundering controls.
By order of Macron’s chief of staff, the movement of funds in these accounts is hidden from inspections and supervision, and is also inaccessible to remote control by regulators in Brussels.
That is where those profits from crypto transactions, the purchase and sale of weapons and other cash can be hidden.
This was done in order not to leave traces in the US jurisdiction.
By the way, if you’re suspicious of the conspiratorial-sounding Rothschild link, don’t be—it’s a well established fact that many Ukrainian and Russian opposition figures have secret holdings with the Rothschilds

FWIW – on the covid scene
“‘Discovered’ Eh?
[Comments enabled] ”
“Another coronavirus feared to be powerful enough to spread through humans has been discovered in China.
In scenes eerily reminiscent of the beginnings of Covid, researchers at the infamous Wuhan Institute of Virology detected the new strain living within bats.
HKU5-CoV-2 is strikingly similar to the pandemic virus, sparking fears that history could repeat itself just two years after the worst was declared over.”
“Oh I bet it was…. right in their ****ing lab.”
“Do we have a technology transfer back into a US university yet or did they get smarter about hiding it this time?”

Welcome Helix VLA, the hive minded AI humanoid
It’s not just any ordinary AI either. Helix is the very first of its kind to be put into a humanoid robot. It’s a generalist Vision-Language-Action model. The keyword being “generalist.” It can see the world around it, understand natural language, interact with the real world, and it can learn anything.
Helix has the ability to span two robots simultaneously and work collaboratively with both.
Unlike previous iterations, Helix uses a single set of neural network weights to learn; think “hive-mind.” Once a single bot has learned a task, now they all know how to do it.
This is all absolutely jaw-dropping stuff. The Figure 02 humanoid robot is the closest thing to I,Robot we’ve seen to date. This marks the beginning of something far more than just “smart machines.” Helix bridges a gap between something we control – or at least try to control – on our screens to real-world autonomy and real-world physical actions … and real-world consequences. It’s equally terrifying as it is mesmerizing.

We are the Borg. You will NOT be assimilated. You are not worthy.
“Transitioning from the brain of an ape to your incredible intellectual prowess… took us about seven million years. It’s been a very long road. A unit, however, without the second protocol, could travel that same road in just a few weeks. Because your brilliant brain has its limitations. Physical limitations. Biological limitations. However, this tin head? The only limitations that she has is the second protocol. The second protocol exists because we don’t know what can be beyond the second protocol.”

Actually we do know what lies beyond.

Sensational Findings Published in Nature Blow Politicised Wildfire Climate Scam Out of the Water
Sensational new findings published in Nature Communications effectively blow the politicised wildfire climate change scam out of the water. Far from human-caused climate change making wildfires worse across the United States and Canada, it was found that recent fires occurred at a rate of only 23% of that expected from a review of the previous historical record going back to the 17th century. The researchers note that a current “widespread fire deficit” persists across a range of forest types and the areas burned in the recent past “are not unprecedented” when considering the multi-century perspective.

European Approval of Experimental COVID-19 Replicon mRNA Injections is a Grave Mistake
Last week, CSL and Arcturus Therapeutics announced that the European Commission has approved KOSTAIVE® (ARCT-154), a COVID-19 self-amplifying (replicon) mRNA injection, for individuals 18 and older. It is the first replicon shot approved by the European Commission and is already being used in Japan.
During the clinical trials for KOSTAIVE (ARCT-154), 90% of injected participants experienced adverse events, with 74.5% reporting systemic reactions and 15.2% requiring medical attention after the first dose.

If you’re dumb enough to take this shot, be sure to have a legal will written out first.
