Mild-mannered granny, timidly dipping toe into scary new world of Twitter. But sometimes I surprise myself.

In 2017 in Senate Estimates, Chief Scientist Alan Finkel was asked: "If the world was to reduce its carbon emissions by 1.3% - approx Aust's rate of emissions- what impact wld that make on the changing climate of the world? His response - the impact would be virtually nothing!

Exiled Iranian calls out the useful idiots who marched against the imaginary "far right" in London. Explains that the capital is already under sharia law via Sadiq Khan and Keir Starmer. Says what's happening in Britain is how Iran fell 50 years ago, and he's had to flee London to get away from it.

Surely it is time to scrap all climate change ideology and focus on the fastest path to energy security. Surely.

People have always been less offensive face to face than behind your back. But go ahead and blame the "algorithms". I wonder if he even knows what that is.

#BREAKING Anthony Albanese says that algorithms can cause “enormous issues” and that people say things online “that they’d never say to my face” I’m not so sure about that Albo.

This is one of the best explanations I've read on the justification for attacking Iran. If your podcasters and information sources have led you not to be able to understand this, you need to drop them and break the spell they've put you under, very much on purpose in many cases.

Iran was trying to use the North Korean model to get a nuke: create sufficient conventional deterrence so you won’t be challenged in acquiring one (it’s called the Seoul Hostage Problem). This has been explained over and over since day one. Everyone claiming shifting goalposts or no imminent threat has been lying. The reason North Korea was allowed to get nukes is because Seoul (and its 10 million inhabitants) is within artillery and rocket range of North Korea. During the 1994 nuclear crisis, the Clinton administration seriously considered airstrikes on North Korea’s Yongbyon reactor but backed off precisely because of the artillery threat to Seoul. Iran was trying to accomplish the same by stockpiling missiles and drones which would have had the same deterrent effect. The proof is what Iran has been doing in the past month: attacking all its neighbors in order to pressure the US to stop attacking it Beyond this, they were building medium-range ballistic missiles that could reach Paris and London, meaning all of Europe could be held hostage as they built a nuclear bomb. The reason Iran has not built a nuclear weapon until now is not because it couldn’t, but because it knew it would be attacked and denied this capability. So by allowing them to continue developing this conventional deterrence, you would be allowing Iran to get a nuclear weapon. And unlike North Korea, Iran is led by an eschatological death cult Reagan saw nuclear mutually assured destruction (MAD) as both morally bankrupt (because of the innocent-body-count problem) and dangerously fragile because it assumed flawless rationality between adversaries…this means it only takes one irrational actor to destroy the world. Working backwards from the conclusion that Iran’s Islamist regime must never have a nuclear weapon, it was necessary for the US to attack Iran to deny it the conventional capacity to hold the entire eastern hemisphere hostage. Every European leader knows this and behind the scenes praises the US for this action. But they are cowards, held hostage by their own internal Muslim populations, and so adopt these ridiculous public positions. This was never about Israel. And if your argument is that Iran should be allowed to get a nuclear weapon then you are a fool and a traitor to western civilization…you’re a useful idiot

Craig Kelly:🇦🇺Foundation for Economic Education
Albanese: Australia’s most dangerously incompetent and clueless Prime Minister in history. Almost every single crisis crushing Australia right now is the direct result of this government’s arrogant, destructive INTERFERENCE in free markets. The deluded belief that nincompoops like Blackout Bowen are so wise and such geniuses that, they direct economic activity more efficiently that millions of free people. This fuel crisis wasn’t an accident — it is a direct result of Albanese’s deranged Net Zero cult. Their insane subsidies for solar panels, wind turbines, batteries and electric cars, their bans on drilling, and every cent of the “carbon tax” shoved down our throats via the Orwellian “safeguards mechanism” have interfered with working of the free market, caused distortions and have wrecked our energy security, trashed our economy, and left the nation weak, poor, and exposed. Government has one damn job: to protect the country. That includes maintaining at least 90 days of fuel reserves as basic national insurance policy. Albanese and his green zealots haven’t just failed at that job — they’ve actively sabotaged it. This isn’t mere stupidity. This is deliberate national self-harm by an ideologically possessed government that hates cheap, reliable energy and couldn’t care less about Australian families paying through the nose. And now, Albanese asserts even more interference and government subsidies is what is needed. Australia is in huge trouble. afr.com/politics/feder…

Samantha Smith@SamanthaTaghoy·
I feel like many people still don’t quite understand the level of depravity inflicted on those little girls — or just how young they were. Think of your sister, daughter, or granddaughter as a child. Picture them. Think of how young and vulnerable they were. Lucy Lowe was 14. Vicky Round was 12. Becky Watson was 11. Charlene Downes was 11 or 12. Sammy Woodhouse was 14. Victoria Agoglia was 13. Sarah Wilson was 11. And there are countless more. They were children. Many barely out of primary school, so young and in no way responsible for the atrocities committed against them. Think about what gangs of Pakistani-Muslim men put those little girls through. Now imagine it was your sister, daughter or granddaughter. Pakistani-Muslim grooming gangs plied them with alcohol and drugs, they raped them in graveyards, they put them into the back of taxis and drove them to be gang-raped by 20+ of their friends, they dismembered them and sold them as kebab meat, they inserted a pump into their anal cavity and had multiple men sodomise them at once, they raped them on filthy mattresses above takeaway shops, they forced panties down their throat to muffle the screams, they threatened to murder them if they told anyone, they brutally beat them, they killed them and torched their houses with their family inside, they picked them up from local authority care homes to be raped, they forced them to take crack cocaine and heroin, they convinced them they loved them so they could abuse them, they killed their unborn children, they targeted the most vulnerable and marginalised, they told them no one would believe them, they forced them to get abortions, they passed them round like a piece of meat, they threatened to kill their families, they gaslit and manipulated them. And that is just a fraction of the abuse inflicted by Pakistani-Muslim grooming gangs in Telford, Rochdale, Rotherham, Oldham and elsewhere. That is just a tiny percentage of the horror that thousands of little girls faced at the hands of their abusers. Now think about the people that were meant to protect them. Who comes to mind? Police, local councils, social services, sexual health clinics, schools, care homes. But they didn’t. Those in positions of power turned a blind eye for decades while little girls were being raped, tortured, and murdered. They branded them “white slags”, “child prostitutes”, and “paki shaggers”. They walked in on victims naked and drugged with 20+ adult men and only arrested the child, they arrested girls for prostitution and handed them back to the same men that were exploiting them, they added the victims to dockets as co-defendants in their own abuse, they downplayed the scale of abuse, they refused to investigate reports, they paid for the taxi rides the girls got raped during, they silenced whistleblowers (like @MaggieOliverUK), they blamed the girls for their own abuse, they tried to block inquiries, and more. Imagine all of this happened to your sister. Or your daughter. Or your granddaughter. Now think again about how young they were, how vulnerable, how innocent. And understand the true horror of child sexual exploitation and the depravity of Pakistani-Muslim grooming gangs.

The Spectator Australia@SpectatorOz·
DAVID FLINT | "Despite what the commentariat says, Pauline Hanson is no ‘wrecker’. She’s the guardian of a policy richness designed to arrest and reverse this decline." One Nation is now the bridge of a gigantic Australia-wide pincer movement. On one flank is the ‘Menzies heart’ of the Liberal party – voters exasperated by a leadership that has drifted into a pale imitation of the left. They have followed Menzies’ precedent of actually voting for the DLP. On the other flank is the ‘old Labor’ manual worker, abandoned by a party of inner-city privilege that now prioritises extremist ‘social justice’ and Islamist radicalism over the dignity of labour. In this historic realignment, One Nation connects these two traditionally opposing groups in a unified front against the ruling class that is strangling Australia.
