      It shows the degree of infiltration of Deep State operatives and compliance of the Left and their agents such as the Lamestream Media that they can actually get away with this without scrutiny, investigations, legal actions or punishment of any kind.

      If Trump’s votes can exceed the margin of fraud and he gets elected, he needs to establish national standards for election procedures that are designed to prevent fraud, e.g. honest voter rolls with no dead people or non-citizens, one vote per citizen, no votes for non-citizens, no electronic voting and no mail-out or mail-in ballots unless people have a genuine reason for not being able to attend a physical polling place (e.g. disability).l, vote ID etc..

          There is no compulsory voting in Australia. It is compulsory for you to attend to vote. Just show up you do not have to vote.

            You do not have to mark your ballot – but you are issued a ballot (when you get your name ticked off the electoral roll) and you must place it in the provided receptacle.
            You cannot leave with your ballot or dump it in the nearest bin.

            The AEC also has a legal duty to reconcile every ballot issued … to every ballot in the ballot box, every spoiled ballot and every ‘out of area’ ballot.

            In my electorate of 70k registered, 15k didn’t vote and there were 5k informal. I checked and this is the case for many electorates. Local Council was worse. Are they even fining folks?

          IIRC

          Back when history was taught –

          The battle to getting votes for all citizens was laid out.

          And compulsory voting was the reminder to not let the privilege slip – or be taken away.

      I am concerned on two counts.

      First is that no follow up information has been forthcoming. How many ballots were received illegally and what happened to them?

      Second is that these may not be the droids we are looking for.

      This second issue partially revolves around whether there are official accessible records on who has “voted” and where this takes efforts to stop the steal. For example in Arizona a judge ordered the authorities to release details of 1.2 MILLION potentially ineligible inactive voters still on the voting roll https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2024/11/obama-judge-rules-that-sos-adrien-fontes-must/

      Now if a whole swag of these inactive voters turn up to vote and later appear among the 1.2 MILLION?

      Well so what? The ballots will have been injected into the system by then. The only remedy would be not certifying the election result. It will be cold comfort to have rock solid proof of a scam by then because NOBODY can say whose vote tally they were added to.

      I’m sure somebody among the good guys is way ahead of me. Perhaps we are about to witness a HUGE sting. Perhaps the cheats will realize the jig is up and call the whole steal off.

      Who knows? May the farce be with you.

        I love your wishful thinking Forrest. The Democrats could not win any election if they did not cheat. The republicans make the mistake that everybody is honest like they are. Same here where the socialist parties refuse voter ID but the conservatives think it would be good. The socialists obviously benefit from no ID. The AEC say 18000 duplicate votes does not change an election but what if they are in only five or six electorates that are usually close?

    ozone hole latest.See chart on left hand side.

    https://ozonewatch.gsfc.nasa.gov/

    what is the ozone hole? Good explanation here plus the claim that it is the 7th lowest since action began in 1992. Depends what measure is being used but surely it should be the lowest since 1992 and the minimum ozone does not seem to have improved

        Fluorochemistry is interesting. The more F added to a carbon structure, the more stable and nontoxic and non flammable it is. R12, CFC, CCl2F2, was extraordinarily stable, non toxic, non flammable, non reactive, non carcinogenic. It was the solvent/propellant for inhalers. ODP=1, Lifetime some claimed 100 yrs. Refrigerating effect 55 BTUH/Lb .

        R-22, HCFC, CHFCl2, was the best balance of efficiency, nontoxicity, non flammability, and limited atmospheric lifetime, 7 yrs. Refrigerating effect 70 BTUH/lb.

        Now the HFCs and blends ‘HydroFluoroCarbons’. Then the PFCs ‘Perflourinated Carbons’, then the PFEs ‘Perflourinated ethers’. And soon you run out of available structures. It is the bond energy of F that causes stability, non flammibility, non reactivity, non carcinogenicity, etc. Unless a structure is stably Fluorinated, it will be flammable, reactive, carcinogenic, corrosive, etc.

        Now the advocates promote R32, mildly flammable, but in 1992 it was vociferously discounted as “too flammable and unsafe”, but now is 50% of R410A, and touted as the “new” refrigerant.

        Politicians are about to legislate the world out of any functional refrigerants. Rather than “modeled and potential harms” we would face actual deaths by spoiled foods and social upheaval.
        So, now, we’re back to Propane, R32, Ammonia, and other “natural” refrigerants. Navel Gazing has a cost, and that, quite soon.

        It is amazing what ignorant, malevolent, incompetent, people can do.

      ‘The improvement is due to … an unexpected infusion of ozone carried by air currents from north of the Antarctic, scientists said.’

      Water vapor breaks down in the stratosphere, releasing reactive hydrogen oxide molecules that destroy ozone.

      So says the NASA Goddard Space Centre. Noting, the Goddard centre blames climate change for the water to be there. Plenty of models for propagation from thunderstorms in the tropics to volcanic activity. Are we considering banning water from the atmosphere? An argument could be made that salt ions in water molecules in the stratosphere could also react with ozone using the exact same reaction as blamed on CFCs. I have had this thought for decades..how can you tell a chloride ion comes from a CFC as opposed to sea salt in a water molecule? They both exist in that environment.

        The Hunga Tonga eruption was unprecedented and is hotly debated. It wasn’t human induced.

        ‘Water vapour in the stratosphere has two main effects. One, it helps in the chemical reactions which destroy the ozone layer, and two, it is a very potent greenhouse gas.

        ‘There is no precedent in our observations of volcanic eruptions to know what all that water would do to our climate, and for how long. This is because the only way to measure water vapour in the entire stratosphere is via satellites. These only exist since 1979, and there hasn’t been an eruption similar to Hunga Tonga in that time.’ (Climate Extremes)

      And, it has always been a “crock”.

      It is not a “hole”. There is a phenomenon called “lensing”, wherein the Ozone layer ™ changes size and that is mainly assocated with the angle of incidence of the sunlight..

      What is Ozone?

      A weird, short-lived oxygen variant; (O3). It is TOXIC and corrosive and best avoided.

      It is CREATED by a specific band of Ultra-violet sunlight. Thus, the”hole” it has ALWAYS varied in size because the entire friggin’ PLANET is on a TILTED and Elliptical orbit around that big thermonuclear device in the sky.

      CFCs migrating to the South Pole, but, strangely enough, NOT from the Northern hemisphere to Santa’s place.

      “Situational Physics”, now?

      Goes =with their “situational ethics”.

      Next time the planet has a scheduled magnetic polar “realignment”; ALL bets are OFF. Virtually ALL terrestrial life will become “extinct”, as it were. BS?
      The geological record of this cyclic behaviour is LITERALLY “set in stone”; mainly on deep oceansea-beds..

      With monotonous regularity, the magnetic poles REVERSE. Why is there a “problem”? Because when the poles go “walkies”, the planetary magnetic field goes wonky. You know; the magnetic field that deflects a huge amount of harmful solar radiation. In the weeks or months that it takes for the “flip”, the entire revolving planet will be bathed in harmful radiation; the “sun-tan from Hell”. If you are a giant squid (or a crew-member on a nuclear submarine parked deep beneath the waves), you might be OK.

      Let’s see what hare-brained schemes the usual sociopaths come up with to deal with that sort of event

      I’m sure our CSIRO can find or not find anything the government desires. Recent finds include a big increase in temperature, failures include no improvement in crop yields due to extra CO2. They also find coral bleaching but can’t find coral recovery. The scientists there are like high priced escorts; willing to do whatever you are willing to pay for.

    From Letters at Conservative Woman. “The Daily Telegraph seems to be in denial about the cost of net zero. It recently quoted Mr Miliband’s estimate of wind-farm costs at £150 per household but omitted to issue a correction when it was pointed out the capital cost of 100GW of windfarms is over £6,000 per household. Even that omits the cost of around 100GW of gas-turbine generators, which will be needed to provide back-up power when wind velocity is low.

    https://www.current-news.co.uk/reaching-net-zero-to-cost-3bn-says-national-grid-eso/

    Indeed, National Grid estimates their costs alone at £3 trillion, as seen on the web link below. McKinsey puts the total UK net zero cost at 7 per cent of GDP per annum through to 2050, which equates to around £5 trillion, or twice the national debt, at around £170,000 per household.”

      And then there’s all those ‘slavery reparations’ the common people will have to fork out for ‘climate justice’ or summit stoopid like that.

      Did a little weekend reading on ‘slavery’ and, Lord help us, the 3 branches of the Abrahamic religions (tyrannies?) were at the cutting-edge of human misery – after all, their Good Book(s) condone it – with more than a little help from various peoples on the periphery of so-called civilisation.

      Those we refer to as Vikings had a well-oiled trade route, via inland rivers and seas, with certain empires of western Asia and northern Africa – the most-prized commodities being young white red-haired blue-eyed virgins of both sexes.

    Quite a long article. I went to a refugee camp in Gaza and Lebanon in the early 1970’s. Why are they still there 75 years after Israel was created? $80 Billion given to the Palestinian leadership over the years has unfortunately mostly been used to create a highly armed state and not enough in raising living conditions of the general population.

      Yes. Sadly polymarket is vulnerable to manipulation in the same way the share market is. The other betting markets likewise.

      Whether it is a push to scalp the market or a push to influence public opinion or something altogether different is not clear. What is clear is that there are people with deep pockets who can game the market.

      The latest on the polling has Iowa going to Harris.

      The view is that Harris has very strong support among women and there are a lot of new, younger, female voters coming out for Harris.

      I do not think policies have much bearing on the result apart from abortion and Harris has locked in on that. She has been trying to recover the ground she lost in outing the lord supporter by now praising the lord.

          I am still hopeful of 312 for Trump.

          It has been a long time since I have seen such glaring opportunities to improve productivity.

          By the time Hawk and Thatcher were in power, it was clear to me that trade union economic destruction needed to be reversed. Both Hawk and Thatcher, on opposite sides of the political spectrum, reduced the economic destruction of the trade unions.

          We now have socialists strongly embedded in government and doing a massive amount of damage. Huge losses in productivity as a large portion of the woking population now devoted to destroying capital.

          Four years of Trump may well reverse the unilateral economic disarmament of the west that is Net Zero.

        Abortion as a Federal issue should no longer exist.
        .
        Thanks to the Dobbs vs Jackson SCOTUS ruling it is not a pert of the suite of Federal issues.
        Kamala can do nothing legally about that.
        .
        I doubt that Congress can even legislate this issue, as it is now a state issue and any Abortion laws created by Congress can be legally challenged.
        .
        The only thing that Kamala can do is appoint more SCOTUS Judges and then line up another case (like Dobbs vs Jackson) to reinstate Abortion as a Federal right.

        For 50 years Democrats had the opportunity to enact legislation to underpin this former Federal right – but they did nothing – preferring to use the Abortion issue as a cudgel against their political opponents.

          That is basically what Harris is saying needs to be done. She has suggested Trump stacked the Supreme Court to the right. She would reverse that if the opportunity arises, which is not out of the question. There will be three incumbent justices 70+ by 2028. If Trump proposes replacements, the SCTUS could be right wing for a generation.

    In New York, Demon-rat authorities murdered a squirrel.

    At Least 10 Democrat NY State Authorities Raid Home of Caretaker Who Raised Orphaned Squirrel Since Birth — Beloved Social Media Star ‘Peanut’ Seized and Tragically Euthanized: “Officers Raided my House as if I was a Drug Dealer”

    by Jim Hoft Nov. 2, 2024

    In a heartbreaking story, Peanut the squirrel, a beloved social media star and household companion, was seized and euthanized by the New York Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC).

    Peanut had found fame online, charming his over half a million followers with his playful antics after being rescued as a baby when his mother was tragically struck by a car.

    His caretaker, Mark Longo, lovingly raised Peanut and shared his life on Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok, where fans celebrated the seven-year-old squirrel’s vibrant spirit.

    According to Longo’s nonprofit animal sanctuary, P’Nuts Freedom Farm Animal Sanctuary:

    Seven years ago, a tiny, fluffy baby squirrel entered our lives and changed everything. “Peanut the Squirrel” quickly captured hearts and became a household name. Despite being reintroduced to the wild, Peanut faced adversity, losing half of his tail in a severe attack.

    Without developing essential wildlife instincts, Peanut became an indoor, non-releasable squirrel. Remarkably, Peanut went on to become the first squirrel to amass over 1 million, and then 2 million, followers on TikTok, with a combined social media following of over 3 million.

    Thanks to the overwhelming love and support from our dedicated followers, we established “P’nuts Freedom Farm.” This sanctuary is a haven where neglected and homeless animals receive a second chance at life.

    And if rabies was a concern, squirrels only rarely carry it. It was no reason to murder this squirrel if nothing is done about millions of squirrels in the wild.

    If Democrat fraud isn’t successful in “winning” this US election I fear they are going to exercise extreme violence, far worse than their riots of 2020. They really do feel entitled to rule and do as they please. The last regime which ruled America and had this mentality led to the American Revolution and independence from Once Great Britain.

    This resulted in the Declaration of Independence which reads in part:

    We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. That, to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed. That, whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new government, laying its foundation on such principles, and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness.

    Which of these Rights of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness have the Demon-rats not violated and will not violate in future?

Quite correctly they have assumed that the American military will not participate in wholesale slaughter of their own and thus they needed others on hand to do so.

        A new report shows the Internal Revenue Service has been stocking up on weapons, ammunition and combat gear to the tune of $10 million since 2020.

        The taxmen are armed to the teeth.

        A new report shows the Internal Revenue Service has been stocking up on weapons, ammunition and combat gear to the tune of $10 million since 2020.

        The findings released last week by OpenTheBooks, a watchdog group that tracks government spending, reveal that in 2021 alone the IRS spent more than $5 million shoring up its arsenal for its increasingly militarized agents.

        Since 2020, the oversight group found, the IRS has spent $2.3 million on ammunition, $1.2 million on ballistic shields, $474,000 on Smith & Wesson rifles, $463,000 on Beretta 1301 tactical shotguns and $243,000 on body armor vests.

        A slew of other line-item expenditures – include a mysterious $1.3 million spent on “various other gear for criminal investigation agents.”

        The tax-collecting agency has also loaded up on hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of tactical lighting, gear bags, holsters, ballistic helmets and optic sights for weapons since the COVID-19 pandemic, according to the report.

      And there is a grave danger should the house election be stolen. There is a dem theory that the house can declare Trump ineligible for election because he has committed insurrection.

      Now that theory is wrong and of course Trump did no such thing BUT …

      The supreme court has been fairly clear that it has no intention of “interfering” with the business of the house. So the house can and in democrat hands has a history of doing whatever it feels like. That includes subverting elections.

      I still remember when people said that no court could possibly convict Trump on any of the obviously ludicrous charges. Not that I like to say I told you so but I pointed out that a combination of the wrong jury and the wrong judge can wrongly find anybody guilty of anything. I often wish I had not seen and experienced the things I have seen and experienced in court rooms.

      The wrongly chosen or stolen house may just be insane enough to blow the whole thing to hell.

      We live in interesting times.

    Australia Reports Historic Death Surge Among Vaccinated Population

        Japanese researchers have issued a red alert to warn the public that Covid mRNA injections are now “affecting every possible aspect of human pathology.”

        During the lengthy briefing, some of Japan’s leading researchers revealed that Covid “vaccines” have now been linked to thousands of side effects.

        “It is unprecedented in human history for a single vaccine to have this much literature out on it,” said Masayasu.

        “You will find diseases of the heart, kidney, thyroid, diabetes, liver, skin, eyes, blood, nerves, systemic diseases, brain, lungs.”

        Fukushima said the mRNA vaccine disperses throughout the body and is not contained in the shoulder like most vaccines.

        Fukushima said authorities preaching the safe and effective message ignored a wide body of evidence and should go back to school.

      And these statistics show up despite the Australian Government altering the way excess deaths were calculated to try and minimise the visibility of excess deaths.

      I wonder how much worse the real figures are?

      NOTE: I cannot find a reference for the ABS (Australian Bureau of Statistics) for changing their methodology for counting excess deaths. Perhaps it was reported here by Jo. Does someone have a reference for that? I certainly remember reading about it.

        One would probably get some interesting information if requests were made for data on diseases such as colon cancers in certain aged cohorts, autoimmune thyroiditis, Guillain-Barré syndrome, incidence of out of hospital cardiac events, etc. over the last 10 years. All diseases get coded and submitted to the relevant authorities who are charged with the health of the nation. Epidemiology 101.

        I think there may be another aspect that has being flying under the radar too which is car accidents. A few months ago we had the NSW one where a vehicle went into a pub beer garden and killed a family and last week the Victorian school incident where a woman doing a U-turn ploughed through a fence into a group of kids. Then there are the ran off the straight road and into a tree single car accidents – attributed to excess speed….. ok how long were the brake marks on the road.

        Secondary reports about the tragic Melbourne one – after the P plater focus – mentioned potential “medical episode” and the NSW one suggested another “medical episode” linking it to diabetes perhaps.
        Despite all the extra policing and holiday period increases in fines/demerit points we currently have a 9.9% increase on last years total. Suggest we need confirmation that “they” are or if not “they” will factor in a) common links like diabetes and b) common links like inoculation. Dead people tell no tales so the tree crashes/veered into oncoming traffic need expanded consideration for link IMHO. You can travel a great distance during 15 seconds of blackout.

          Hmm, used to be that if you were in a motor accident and died with a positive (incidental) covid test, that you were counted as a ‘covid death’. I wonder if they’ll bring in a category for road accident death caused by covid vax? (sarc, of course I don’t wonder)

      There remains an urgent need to actually compare death and disability rates between the vaxxed and unvaxxed, at a scale that would give us an unequivocal answer. The 2021+ rise in excess mortality, on its own, doesn’t convince me the vaccines are the cause, as much as I distrust them. We cannot say, at this stage, whether the increase in cancers, heart issues, etc are not the result of Covid itself. It might even be caused by BOTH the vaccines AND Covid, due to the spike protein in both.

      It beggars belief that we don’t know. That simple comparison would be quick and easy to do. And quite apart from the public interest aspect, surely this is a vital health matter which will impact humanity for years, possibly decades, so why isn’t this being done?

        The viral spike protein differs from the vaccine spike and they can be stained to differentiate. This is what Arne Burkholtz (I hope I have that correct) first demonstrated when looking at post mortem stains of the heart. It was all vaccine spike. This is not to say that the virus is not responsible for some pathology. Fauci and his funders knew that post mortem examinations would show the truth and thus there has been a sudden worldwide disinterest in post mortem examinations.

        Both Australian immunologist Robert Clancy and British oncologist Angus Dalgleish have pointed out how the vaccine has inhibited the anti cancer action of the CD4 lymphocytes as a likely cause of the sudden increase in cancers either of unusual types, reactivations or in unusual age groups. They are both interesting men to listen to with their vast depth of knowledge and experience.

    It has all happened before!

    Government protection of pharmaceutical companies from liability;
    Falsification and manipulation of death certificates and statistics;
    Use of media to create fear and suppress opposing views;
    Financial incentives to medical establishments for compliance;
    Rushed vaccines without proper safety testing;
    Suppression of early treatment options;
    Demonization of those questioning the official narrative.

    In her 1977 booklet – Swine Flu Expose, Eleanora McBean documented various orchestrated medical disasters of the 20th century. However, she could hardly have imagined that her work would serve as a prophetic playbook for the “COVID” events of 2020-2023. Yet, the parallels are undeniable and chilling.

    Compare this to yesterday’s article about the Deep State and think about Australia’s own one! Why do we only get to find out how two-faced and lying this so-called Conservative was, after he retires?? A top diplomat for Australia, a ‘Right-wing’ Senator and a federal attorney-general, now his true colours show as typical staff member at ANU.

    “The word “fascist” is usually a term of abuse … it is now the considered judgment upon Trump of respectable senior generals…The warnings of sober people like Milley and Kelly – not political figures but military officers bred in an ethic of service – cannot be written off as hysterical campaign overstatement. Only a fool – or a Fox News propagandist – would dismiss them….The more often that respectable conservatives, or members of the national security establishment, denounce him, the more compelling his pose as the champion of the alienated becomes…

    Whether or not Trump is rightly described as a fascist, a demagogue he certainly is. And if the history of the past century has taught us anything, it is surely to take demagogues seriously. They usually mean what they say. The great paradox of this election is that a notorious and systematic liar can probably be trusted to keep his promises.

    A recent poll found 73 per cent of Australians do not want Trump back in the White House. That means nearly half of Liberal voters prefer the alternative, however uninspiring she may be. Yet there is a small but voluble element of the right-wing commentariat barracking for Trump, regardless of the threat he poses to global security and Australia’s interests.”

    The whole outrage of these professional slimeballs is demonstrated in one line-

    “The great paradox of this election is that a notorious and systematic liar can probably be trusted to keep his promises.”

    They cannot stand the honesty of Trump!! An outsider in the sleazy world of politics, one of ‘us’, not one of ‘them’. As for George Brandis, this is a typical view of the world from a typical mouthpiece who was in power to advance the Deep State adgenda.

      Or worse, as above a dem house can simply declare Trump ineligible for election on the basis that they say he is an insurrectionist.

    If Trump wins, he will only be the second to win non consecutive terms in US history or the parties in their current form since the Civil War. And the first Republican. It means that everyone has gone through three consecutive campaigns where Trump was the Republican nominee.

    So it’s amazing that the Democrats are making up all this stuff when Trump was President less than four years ago. Trump built the wall. Democrats immediately opened the gates. Trump closes the gates. Where does Fascist come into it? And how can Governor Hochul and Nancy Pelosi claim Make America Great Again supporters are ‘anti-American’ and ‘unpatriotic’? What?

    There is a lot in the attacks on the Deplorables, the Garbage, the Conservative ‘Fascists’, Catholics and Jews which does not make any sense. No one even voted for Harris. The Democrats are treating their own members as stupid. I suspect a lot of rusted on Democrats will ignore Obama/Clinton/Schumer/Jeffries/Pelosi and vote Trump, even in deep Blue states.

    Okay then, best sites to watch the U.S. election results as they roll along.

    I’ve been doing this now since I started ‘blogging’ back in 2008, and while most sites are good, perhaps one of the most comprehensive for watching results is the Politico site at the following link.

    Election Results 2024: Live Map

    Under the Politico heading you see a menu bar for all aspects of the vote, so you can look at whatever part of the race you might wish to see.

    I’ve always found it to be perhaps the most informative site to watch on the day, with results updated quite quickly as the count progresses. This was where I first (very oddly) saw some massive vote dumps for a couple of States late in the count, and hey, how lucky can you get, eh!

    And from the 2020 race, here’s one of the Jurisdictions to keep a close eye on for the, umm, ‘closeness’ of the vote.

    Washington DC Election Result 2020 (almost as safe as the former palace chook seat of Inala in Queensland, now held by a non Palaszczuk for the first time in 32 years, after being won at the by-election a few Months back when ‘dear leader’ resigned to ….. “hey look over there”)

        Australian’s have this wonderful propensity for Australianising some difficult to pronounce names.

        I have always used Palace Chook, going back to the days when Henry, (Heinrich) her Father was the first MP for that Electorate, and it got me into trouble, because people actually thought I was slagging off at his name.

        Then there’s the Australian batsman Marnus Labuschagne ….. la boos skak ne with the boos oo as in look.

        And don’t get me started on Kos shoos ko. (evidently some Mountain here in Australia) Huh! Go looking at that name, and see just how many differing pronunciations there are.

        It’s infuriating at times, the casual way that Australians don’t even take the time to find a correct pronunciation.

        My name is Anton, and I went through life with so many people mispronouncing it in so many ways. When I corrected them, it was a perceived as a case of my actually being rude.

        I had to wait till I was almost 18 before finding another person with the same name.

        Everyone had an idea on the origin of the name.

        Years later, I asked Mum where the name came from. She had two long christian names, even then termed as old school names, names she herself never even used, going through life with a shortened and stylised version of one of those christian names. (Mardi) My Father also had three christian names as well, and they swore they would never ‘lumber’ their children with something like that, so we all had just the one christian name, and there were five of us children. I was the first born, in 1951.

        There was no TV even then, so all they had was a radio gram with a record player.

        Mum and Dad would read prior to dropping off to sleep. (Mum was 21, and Dad 22 when they married) Dad loved his Science Fiction, as did Mum as well, and back then, SF came in the form of large paper magazine sized booklets, similar to comics, in colour, and now termed as ‘pulp fiction’, and there were a number of them at the time. Most of the who’s who of science fiction got their starts with these early ‘magazines’ I guess you’d term them.

        Anyway, Mum was ‘out to here’ with me, just before I was born, and Dad was into one of the many short stories in these mags. One of the characters in the short piece was called Anton, and Dad leaned across to Mum, and said ….. what do think of that name then, And that’s where Anton my name came from. Nothing romantic like central European or anything like that. Just an obscure made up character name from a cheapo SF mag.

        I have always loved the name, and even though it was shortened to Tony (and Mum told me that shortening it to Tony was looked on as easier to pronounce than Anton, for others that is) I always thought of it as a nice thing that I had such a rare name.

        Tony.

          And here, palace chook is not meant derogatorily at all.

          It’s the way the name is actually pronounced.

          And hey, going off again on another tangent, that word derogatorily. It’s the English pronunciation of the word, and as in so many other cases, different (but similar) words are used for American (English) language, as their word is derogatively.

          When my wonderful late wife Bob’s father passed away in March of ’97, there were some things of his that he and I worked out beforehand would come to me. One of them was one of the first Seiko Quartz watches produced, which still works to this day, and four books, all large reference books, and one wonderful large hard cover Bible, which is as new now as when first purchased. When some others saw this was all I really wanted, I got some really weird looks and a curious ….. “is that all you wanted?”

          One of the books was a full sized hard back illustrated Webster’s Collegiate Dictionary, the fifth edition, and this iteration was first printed in 1941, so it’s now 83 years old. It’s in very good nick considering, and is a wonderful second reference to go alongside my Macquarie Encyclopedic Dictionary.

          Now, it’s not like you read a dictionary like a novel, but it’s so good to be able to compare words (and their meanings) across the many decades, and just a casual opening of this wonderful dictionary at ANY page at all will show you a number of words that have completely gone out of our language. And when they say illustrated, there’s between one and five illustrations on every page you wish to open it up at. It also has the ‘indent’ for every letter of the alphabet.

          That Dictionary from 1941 lists both of the above words as of similar meaning.

    Corruption……..the biggest issue facing Australians…the Pandemic of Distrust.

    The following sms to me this morning stimulated me to write this early than I had anticipated. It follows from years of frustration that a so-called health system is making people sick; a health system dominated by big pharma and its useless drugs and diseases created by big ultra-processed food. We are now a country where many people can no longer afford to buy high quality foods and certainly cannot afford to purchase nutrients they may need to supplement their pathetic state of malnourishment. Brought about by the mal-information created by the so-called leaders with their misinformation and disinformation.

    Basically, the medical ‘profession’ in this country just ‘followed orders’, because they were terrified of Ahpra, and had no moral leadership in their wretched medical colleges and professional associations to lead them out of the abyss…”

    Go Trump even though you have Scottish heritage. Mind you, Sir Winston Churchill had a USA’n Mum.

    A winery we drive by often on the way to Melbourne (Boat O’Craigo for locals) had been undergoing expansion and renovation for the last 9 months. Its looking pretty slick.

    I think the owners are realists as about 100 metres past the restaurant, on the edge of the vines, is a large permanent enclosed generator installation. I guess if you are investing a million plus (guessing) you really want to be open all the time, or maybe the power providers cant provide what they need when they need it.

    So Albo wants to blow $3Billion on student loan forgiveness, while cancelling $7Billion on military satellite communications! Will the student beneficiaries of his largesse put their hands up to defend Australia when the proverbial hits the fan as a result of satellite communications’shortfall? This enquiring mind would like to know!

      This, of course, raises the old question:

      “Was Guido Fawkes the only man to ever enter parliament with ‘honest intentions”?

      Bearing in mind that:

      “The road to Hell is paved with “Good Intentions”.

    It’s possible I’ve been misled.
    Someone has.

    My liberal American compatriots (officially an anachronism in about 24 hours), think everything is fine.
    The vaccine is safe, Climate Change is real, men can have children, the NYT and WP are not propaganda, the election system is not corrupt, Trump is Hitler and Harris is joyful.
    The rest of us, in subdued tones, out of earshot of the others, murmur about how a huge portion of the others have lost their minds.

    So, I write this on the Last Day of the World We Thought We Lived In.
    We’ve seen it coming, but kept hoping somehow some adults would show up and restore sanity.

    So, unless I’m also the the victim of misleading information …
    the US election will put the final nail in the construction of the House that Climate Change and Pandemic built.
    The final G-string comes off the last of the leading institutions of the Western World and the naked corruption shown beyond doubt.

    At least we know that America will remain the most racist sexist country ever, whether she wins or loses.
    Other than that, everything changes.

      “The final G-string comes off the last of the leading institutions of the Western World and the naked corruption shown beyond doubt.”

      Some leaders have been forced to realise, and then act, upon the same. I’ve been seeing these here and there for the last couple of years- Some big heads have rolled, Putin has had a massive house-cleaning that the West will undergo in the next war.

      “According to media reports, the former deputy commander of the Southern District of the Russian Guard demanded 140 million rubles from the supplier of modules for prefabricated buildings and threatened to terminate the contract worth 480 million if the money was not forthcoming. The supplier company transferred a kickback to the general through an intermediary; both were detained. The major general will celebrate the New Year in a pretrial detention center – he was arrested for the duration of the investigation until January 2, 2025.”

        “he was arrested for the duration of the investigation until January 2, 2025.”

        When does the trial for the person that knifed little girls to death in the UK dance class begin?
        Maybe Taylor Swift can do some promotion concerts for Keir Starmer.

    “Big Energy Policy Mistake: “All Of The Above” ”

    “It’s a little late for this election cycle, but I would highly suggest that it is time to ditch this nonsense. Renewables (and carbon capture, and hydrogen) either don’t work or are hugely too expensive or dangerous or all of those things. That’s the winning message.”

    A funny little bit of Russian propaganda.. Ukrainian POWs are refusing to be exchanged back to Ukraine- Better a prisoner of Russia than being killed by them!

    “A group of ten Ukrainian prisoners of war met with their families at one of the detention centers. Prisoners held in the Russian Federation are refusing to be exchanged en masse, volunteer Marina Ashifina said.”
