The fatal flaw of renewables is intermittency. The wind dies. The sun disappears. Electricity demand never sleeps. Giant battery arrays only store energy; they don’t create it. They can bridge hours, not days or weeks. A reliable grid demands baseload power. #Coal #Gas #Nuclear

@eurofounder 😂🍿

Had coffee with my friend Thomas today in Munich He looked truly awful "I'm not doing good man" he said "Been waiting six months to see a doctor for my lungs, they say it might be cancer" "Also, we barely survive, our heating bill doubled and tax is now almost 65%" "And the worst, my Muslim neighbors have been harassing my daughter, and there is nothing you can do to them" I took a sip of my coffee "Have you tried the new bike lane on Friedrichstraße?" "What?" "Smooth asphalt, rest area with benches" I smiled "Did you hear anything I just said?" he got angry I ignored his negativity and complaining Some people will never appreciate how great European quality of life is

@goodfoodgal That’s all very well until it goes across Murray Watts desk. It’s not going to happen, labor will say they will change the target just for votes Truth is, they will not change their ideology until China attacks Taiwan and then it will be too late. When fuel runs out, anarchy 🥱

Ooops… Looks like “renewables” was a bad call after all. Go figure. I knew we’d get there eventually but this took WAY too long. What a disgusting waste of time and money with NO accountability. Again.

@JimThom90458694 Yes hearsay is NEVER evidence.🥱

Let's not forget it's the same bloke who got on TV etc and promised he would vote one way…… AND THE VERY NEXT DAY WITHOUT SAYING ANYTHING HE VOTED THE EXACT OPPOSITE !! and here he is like a good traitor 🤦‍♀️🤬 Says a lot about he’s honesty and trustworthiness! Key Evidence and Statements: During his court testimony, Hastie made several critical points that undermined Roberts-Smith's case: "No longer proud": Hastie explicitly told the Federal Court, "I am no longer proud of Mr Roberts-Smith," and stated that he now "pitied" him. Corroborating Rumours: He testified that there were "fairly well-established rumours" within the SAS that Roberts-Smith had kicked an unarmed prisoner off a cliff in Afghanistan. Bullying Allegations: Hastie gave evidence supporting claims that Roberts-Smith was a bully within the regiment. Support for Journalists: Roberts-Smith's family, including his mother, accused Hastie of actively assisting the Nine Network journalists who first broke the story of the alleged war crimes. Rumours over there and allegations is not hard evidence , it is heresay , especially over there among the soldiers some with gripes , some with PSTD , some afghan nationals who are angry with the west especially with all the blue on green attacks .. EVIDENCE needs to be hard evidence without a reasonable doubt ..

@lauren_vasiliou They would have been lefties that would run away if Australia was ever attacked. Not someone who I would trust to have my back.🥱

I have been called a cunt multiple times by men in the last 2 days for supporting Ben Roberts Smith. Fuck off you bunch of fucking pussies. Those of us who have never been to war should never judge the heroes who have. Now eat a bag of dicks and shut the fuck up

Australia has a canny son – his skills are world renowned. When tensions on the globe erupt, he’s first upon the ground. He’s the lion of the army – to this most would agree. He’s the fully rounded soldier that many want to be. Though plenty seek selection – few ever make the grade. The sandy beret signifies: a master of his trade. He’s a military specialist – an expert with his tools. He’s quick to speak what’s on his mind and doesn’t suffer fools. He’s a stubborn sort of fellow who seems without a care. His motto’s not for cowards – to win he has to dare. You’ll find him in the jungles, the deserts and the snow. But ask him where he’ll be next week; he’ll say he doesn’t know. He moves freely in the daytime, but always out of sight. He appears where least expected – a phantom in the night. He’ll face extreme conditions with minimum supply. His body may be soaking, but his humour’s always dry. He pays the price for liberty – far from the warmth of home. His family pays a price as well, through endless months alone. In public celebrations, we never see his face. In times of recognition, he feels quite out of place. He says it’s just his duty, the service that he vowed. But Australia thanks you anyway; you’ve done this country proud. -Ian Coate The SAS Soldier

@NoticerNews Good grief.🙄🥱🤡

A Sudanese thug has been spared jail, a conviction and deportation over a cowardly gang attack on two off-duty soldiers in Queensland. The court heard he has "potential to be a leader" in his community, and aspires to be an NDIS support worker. noticer.news/african-spared…

@strangerous10 What truth, your opinion that you think is truth? You have no idea what went on anywhere outside Australia, you are no better than a fifth columnist.🥱

While Ben Roberts‑Smith’s War Memorial display is “under review,” this photo they have up was cropped to erase a dead Afghan he posed over. What’s there to review? — this should never have been displayed. It hides the truth.

@PhillipAdams_1 Enraged? 🙄🥱🤡

Rinehart enraged by Roberts-Smith arrest. The nation quails.

@SimonBanksHB Using a leaf out of labor’s lie book Simon.🥱🤡

O dear Sky After Dark blaming the Government for higher fuel costs caused by the war in the Middle East Active deliberate misleading and deceptive conduct In pursuit of a shallow commercial interest Just an embarrassing failure of basic logic

@mattjcan True and when China attacks Taiwan, it will be worse. China has been stockpiling resources in anticipation of this, they could continue even with the cancellation of shipments from Aust Watt and his idiots won’t know what to do when Aust descends into anarchy after fuel runs out

Labor has no plan to deliver liquid fuel security

I’m not intimately acquainted with the details of this case against the Australian former SAS Corporal Ben Roberts-Smith VC, other than which I have heard in the media. As a retired military Officer, I agree that there is no place for criminal behaviour in the military, however, when it comes to COIN warfare where a man or a boy is a combatant one minute and a civilian the next, the stress on Security Forces to make the right decisions every time are overwhelming. Throw into that mix, adrenaline, fear, the knowledge that your fellow soldiers have been murdered or assassinated by Taliban sleeper agents in an act of perfidy, then the lines between what is acceptable to you and I, versus the man on the ground begin to blur. All Western armies judge their personnel to the highest standards, our expectations of their conduct and operational efficiency is enormous. During my time serving in the SADF/SANDF, my troops and I were committed to work in three very different military theatres of operations over my service period. 1. Urban COIN operations in the townships of South Africa, where, just like in Northern Ireland and Afghanistan, your enemy combatants do not wear a uniform, they do not engage with the rules of war or even the rule of law. They are terrorists and their aim is confusion, terror and destabilisation. 2. Rural COIN operations, similar to an urban environment, the enemy combatants use the local population as a shield for their operations, either by being a member of the Local Pops or by extreme violent intimidation against the Local Pops. Violence so graphic and horrific that I dare not detail on X what that entailed. 3. Conventional Warfare operations - just like WWII, where we had aircraft, artillery, armour, infantry, sappers, logistics etc. deployed against an enemy with exactly the same resources. The enemy was formed into Brigades, wore uniforms and behaved like a conventional military, albeit the one I was fighting against was directly supported by Soviet “Advisors” and 50,000 Cuban soldiers fighting alongside the Angolan Army. All three theatres of war had challenges, however COIN warfare where the line between combatants and civilians is blurred, has varied challenges for commanders on the ground and their troops that in my opinion and experience can be costly when errors of judgement are found or considered found to be made In South Africa, on urban deployments in the Townships, I as a Company Commander or Platoon Commander was subject not only to military law and conduct, but my actions and commands were subject to civilian law, as were the actions of my troops. Any subjective “error” could see me tried in a civilian court, not as a soldier (with military protection) but as a civilian, almost accused of vigilante behaviour. Hardly a motivation tool for soldiers serving in those circumstances, nor a tool that could be used as an effective “force multiplier”. I was considered by my superiors and peers to be a very aggressive military leader, pushing my soldiers to achieve enormous success, but if we were to be judged by armchair experts who have never been exposed to life threatening danger, I fear I may have operated very close to, or even touched the line at times. We were constantly questioned by “The Reasonable Man” test, as in what would a reasonable man’s actions be in the circumstances we found ourselves in? Noble, admirable to hold one’s soldiers to this standard, however, let’s also remember that reasonable men are seldom found in life and death situations for extended periods of time. In SA post 1994, I was able, like many other former SADF soldiers to look any accuser in the eye, knowing my conscience was completely clear. Whatever the outcome for Roberts-Smith, I hope there’s no political agenda or modern guilt driving a guilty verdict. Governments ask their soldiers everything. Isn’t it fair to protect them from political persecution? #Veterans #Afghanistan

Yeah

There is not a single historical example of a country successfully reversing what Australia is doing right now. No Western nation has ever replaced its founding population at this speed, watched social trust collapse, and then peacefully come out the other side intact. History is brutal and consistent: once social cohesion breaks down at this level, the only outcomes are: - Permanent ethnic enclaves and parallel societies - Violent conflict - National decline and fragmentation Australia is not special. We are not the exception. We are following the same path as every other nation that ignored the basic laws of human society — and none of them came out clean. The comfortable fantasy that “it will all work itself out” is now officially dead.

Let’s be crystal clear here, these two shit stains are openly declaring their support in Sydney, Australia for a mob of murderous Hamastinian rapists, a proscribed terrorist organisation. Where are you @ASIOGovAu, @AusFedPolice, @nswpolice, and what are you doing about it @AlboMP and @Tony_Burke ?

Yes, how come? It stinks.

With respect @OfficialACLN - you have missed some important points. It’s been widely reported that 21 former SAS soldiers lined up to testify against Roberts-Smith during the civil defamation trial. Because what is routinely ignored is that the defamation case was not just about alleged war crimes—it also centred on claims of “bullying” within the SAS. How many of these twenty one testified about the bullying allegations and how many about the war crimes? And “Bullying”? In elite combat units? By commanders in war zones? By that standard, you could indict most of the officers in the history of the Australian and British armies. And let’s not forget—this was a civil case, not a criminal one—where powerful interests opposing Roberts-Smith were secretly paying witnesses hundreds of thousands of dollars in exchange for their testimony. That’s not justice. That’s a stacked deck. And those that testified that he killed people ? That was his job. That’s what he was awarded the Victory Cross and Medal for Gallantry for. Read the citations; ordered to "kill or capture" "resulting in the death of an insurgent" "killing two" "engaged and killed further enemy" "locate and neutralise the Militia" "effectively employ his sniper weapon" So you bet he killed people - it was kill or be killed. But Taliban or "civilians" ? This wasn’t a conventional battlefield. The Taliban didn’t wear uniforms. They blended in. They hid among the population. So what exactly was an Australian soldier supposed to do—wait until a weapon was pointed at him before acting? So some killings were worthy of a Victory Cross - but others were "war crimes" ? Any fair-minded Australian should see this for what it is—a grim, dispiriting moment for the country. A Victoria Cross recipient dragged through a process that raises more questions than it answers, while Defence Force morale sinks and recruitment struggles deepen. And if he is to face trial, then it must be exactly that: a fair trial. Not a show trial. Not a political spectacle. But already we’ve seen Channel 9 cameras placed at the airport ready to film his arrest. And any fair trial—must be by a “jury of his peers” , people who have experienced the brutal reality of combat, not those whose greatest daily risk is a nasty paper cut.

On the night of August 29th, 2012 a Taliban sleeper agent in the Afghan National Army massacred three Australian soldiers in cold blood as they prepared to sleep on their own base. Their names were Private Robert Poate, Sapper James Martin and Lance Corporal Rick Milosevic. The rogue Afghan soldier was named Hekmatullah. It was the fourth insider, or ''green-on-blue'' attack by Taliban sleeper agents in the Afghan National Army against Australian soldiers in 15 months. Hekmatullah escaped with the aid of the Taliban. Ben Roberts-Smith was sent to track him down at the village of Darwan. It was on this mission that Ben Roberts-Smith was accused of war crimes. Today Hekmatullah lives freely in Afghanistan as a hero, despite the fact that he carried out the war crime of perfidy in massacring Australian soldiers while wearing a friendly uniform as a sleeper agent. We torture and lash our own men while the real monsters go unpunished.

@2worldsPodcast Waste of money.

No murder weapon. No body. No access to Afghan crime scenes after 15+ years. No forensics, no post-mortems, no projectiles recovered. The witnesses are all battling PTSD, which will get ripped apart in cross-examination. Memory loss, faded combat memories, all the usual side effects and the defence will hammer that hard. And remember, it still has to be proven beyond reasonable doubt. Good luck with that. No jury's going to convict Ben Roberts-Smith on this evidence. And don't get me started on the timing… arresting him right before Anzac Day, in front of his family as he gets off the plane, with the cameras already there waiting like they knew exactly what was coming. Something here really doesn't add up.
