Thursday

Vale Charlie Kirk, assassinated today because he spoke for The People, against The Blob. It is a pivotal and dark moment in US History.

The WhiteHouse declared, In Memory of Charlie Kirk — flags will be flown at half staff across the US.

The parasites who had no answer to him can only respond with bullets.

    In the North Atlantic, as of now, there have been six named storms, including one major hurricane, Erin (paralleling the East Coast of the U. S. from August 19–21).
    The forecast was for an above-average season with 13 to 18 named storms, 5 to 9 hurricanes, and 2 to 5 major hurricanes.
    The next 10 weeks are going to be very busy – or not!
    One major hurricane will get us to “2” and the forecasters can claim a victory.

      But why did it take them over three decades to decide this?

      “Green” power was never going to work.

      It is non-viable and the only reason it works at all is the massive subsidies or forced purchase of its defective product.

      The entire business model has nothing whatever to do with energy but about harvesting subsidies.or tax concessions.

      As Warren Buffett said:

      We get a tax credit if we build a lot of wind farms. That’s the only reason to build them. They don’t make sense without the tax credit.

      Britain demands reparations from Rome for the Roman invasions and occupations.

      Likewise for the Viking/Dane incursions and occupation from Norway and Denmark.

      Then, Normandy for the Norman invasion.

      Then, all those illegal migrants currently invading Britain. Go after the Countries that they come from. Must be some money there.

      Britain should also ask for money back for building all those railways and infrastructure/public works, etc, in those African countries.

      There. That should help the British coffers (or the Debt load) out a little bit.

        Well, you won’t get much from France for the Norman invasion, nor much from Italy for the Romans (indeed they might claim the reverse due to improvements left).
        Nothing likely from Denmark but Norway is loaded with cash, but any suggestion about payments from them might result in no energy delivered when you need it. And didn’t they suggest fairly recently that the Shetlands, Orkneys and northern Scotland be returned to them?.

          Why Shetland would be better off as part of Norway?
          Shetland News
          12 March 2025. and Contributed
          8 September 2025
          Pledging of Shetland (1469): In 1469, King Christian I of Denmark and Norway unlawfully pledged the Shetland Islands to Scotland as part of a dowry arrangement for his daughter’s marriage to King James III of Scotland, ‘unlawfully’ as he didn’t consult with the Norwegian authorities.
          The 1469 pawning of Shetland was never intended as a permanent transfer but as a temporary pledge until Norway repaid the dowry. However, Scotland unlawfully withheld Shetland, ignoring the rightful claim of Norway and the terms of the agreement. Instead of honouring the deal, Scotland imposed foreign rule
          They’re not that keen on being part of the UK, and don’t forget that Lerwick is closest to Bergen than to Edinborough.

        Nah, just throw them on the ground, then claim you are “storing them for future use”. That’s what one wind system dismantler is claimed. Or just throw them away anyway, as was one done in Esperance..

      Just imagine all the “greenhouse gases” generated by a plane that large.

      It is already claimed that wind turbines don’t generate and pay back the energy used to build them, taking into account all the steel, concrete, fibreglass, rare earth metals, copper, transport, lubricants etc., this will make the negative net energy payback even worse.

      A plane that large should be used for delivering useful goods (not windmill blades) or as low cost transport taking people on vacation to exotic locations.

        Also such huge planes will likely need huge non-standard runways and maintenance hangers. The energy used to construct those should also be included in the energy balance.

        Also, how will these huge blades get to the plane? They will likely have to be fabricated on-site. And then after delivery, how do the blades get to the off-shore wind plsntation? An airport will have to be built next to a wharf. Then you’ll need specialised transport ships etc..

        The whole idea is preposterous.

        At some point the aircraft carrying the blades must land so that the blades can be loaded onto land transport so they can be transported to a site, probably in a mountain range somewhere. I can recall, a few years ago, news of a cargo of blades being unloaded from a ship at Eden NSW, to be transported to a site in the Snowy mountains. The blades could only be transported one at a time by truck, and were so long that each truck required an escort front and back, plus a police escort. Then the transport vehicles had to travel back down the mountain empty, along with escort vehicles, to pick up the next blade.

        Then there is the thousands of tonnes of concrete required to anchor the structures to the ground. Transport of the concrete mixer and materials, plus return of the empty vehicles for another load.

        Plus transport of the other components, for the towers, and turbines, and return of empty vehicles for another load.

        All that CO2 not counted as part of the “green” electricity generated.

      I think the popular belief in UAP’s as extraterrestrials has a lot to do with the general dumbing-down of the population and the anti-science, anti-reason movement brought about by the Left.

      I’m not saying intelligent extraterrestrial civilisations don’t exist, they almost certainly do, although exceeedingly rare, but they are unlikely to be visiting us in the manner claimed.

        I think people believe in ET’s because they want to believe there’s something more out there than just us.

        The universe is born. 13.8 26 billion years pass. 200 billion trillion stars are born.
        A band of murderous monkeys on a rock circling one of these stars says, “we must be the reason for all this.”
        Shortly after, the monkeys blow themselves up.

        Our Milky Way galaxy alone is 100,000 light years across, with 60 billion possible life-harboring planets. One light year = 10 trillion kms. The observable universe is 90 billion light years across and the real size could be hundreds of times that, or 7 trillion light years.

        And yet some believe the invisible man that lives in the sky only made us.

              A new paper out shows that these prototypes coexisted and that Darwin’s linear descent of man might be incorrect.

              “This new research shows that the image many of us have in our minds of an ape to a Neanderthal to a modern human is not correct — evolution doesn’t work like that,” ASU paleoecologist Kaye Reed said. “Here we have two hominin species that are together. And human evolution is not linear — it’s a bushy tree; there are life forms that go extinct.” (News.ASU)

        During the 1990s I met a business man who had earlier been a senior Army officer and part of his career was attached to an Australian Embassy, Jakarta Indonesia. Over lunch he asked us if we believed there could be UFOs (UAP), all of us agreed it was possible but more often than not there would be a reasonable explanation as to why not extraterrestrial.

        He then described his sighting standing behind the crew on a RAAF C-130 Hercules flying across the coast of WA. Above and ahead was a aluminium appearance object similar to a large commercial aircraft with no wings or tail, no windows, and it was stationary/hovering. The flight crew reported it and received an acknowledgement from the ground controllers.

        At a later date he met the crew again but they were not willing to discuss the sighting, they said they were not permitted to do that.

        A former Canadian Airforce pilot and senior officer told me that sightings of UAP were regular events when he flew Argosy surveillance aircraft monitoring shipping lanes, and were all reported.

        Last, I was with friends at a barbecue in Queensland after dark and four bright red lights in formation 1-2-1 like a triangle travelling north were observed by all of the people there. Very high speed, no sound. About two hours later the four lights returned in the opposite direction.

          The triangle shape UAP is quite common, as is the cigar shape.

          I had the good fortune to see a squadron flying in V shape formation and heading towards Antartica. There were many witnesses right across Australia, including astronomers, and the authorities had no explanation.

      I am a skeptic. That missile probably misfired. What it looks like, and I mean exactly looks like, is a missile hit a drone, but didn’t disable the drone entirely because it misfired. Note that pieces came off the missile or the drone at the point of impact. Note also no evasive action on the part of the drone ahead of the collision. Does that seem like what an alien spacecraft would do? Seriously.

    Here is a “man on the ground” video of a motorcycle blogger, not a “journalist”, that just happened to get stuck in the anti-government riots in Nepal.

    Just like Australia currently has, Nepal had an incompetent and corrupt communist* Government that banned social media and the people didn’t like that. (Australia’s social media ban for under 16’s will be implemented in December with the full support of the Uniparty including the fake conservative Liberals who created the position of e Safety Kommissar, a WEF zealot whose idea it was.)

    As I said yesterday, I’m surprised because Nepali people are generally calm and gentle and very tolerant of hardship. In Australia I used to employ a lot of legal Neoali immigrants. Good workers.

    Since the riots, in which 19 people were killed, Government members have resigned and fled the country, and social media has been reinstated.

    I doubt Australians will fight back against their incompetent and corrupt social media banning Government like the Nepali people did. And if they do, they should keep protests legal and peaceful.

      After finishing school, Albanese worked briefly at the Commonwealth Bank of Australia before enrolling in an economics degree at the University of Sydney. There, he became involved in student politics and was elected to the Students’ Representative Council (SRC). He stood unsuccessfully for the SRC presidency in 1983, losing to Belinda Neal. It was also there where he started his rise as a key player in the ALP’s Labor Left During his time in student politics, Albanese led a group within Young Labor that was aligned with the left faction’s Hard Left, which maintained “links with broader left-wing groups, such as the Communist Party of Australia, People for Nuclear Disarmament and the African National Congress”.

      For those of you from Australia and other parts abroad who don’t know who Kirk is, he is a conservative campus influencer and ally of the Bad Orange Man that does public speaking events on college campuses as a lone conservative voice shouting into a sea of indoctrinated leftists.

      The ‘tolerant left’ strikes again.

      I’ve lost track of how many conservative politicians and activists have had to deal with leftist political violence over the last decade, but can’t think of even one prominent democrat who has been targeted by a conservative. The only prominent democrats who have been attacked that I can think of off the top my my head were Pennsylvania governor Josh Shapiro’s home being targeted in an arson attack by a pro-Hamas loon for being Jewish, and Nancy Pelosi’s husband being the victim of a home invasion by some homeless junkie with a hammer.

      Even among the general population, it has become commonplace to see leftist violence targeted against regular people attending political rallies, wearing MAGA hats, driving Teslas, or speaking up in favor of natal women’s rights / immigration enforcement /Israel’s right to exist, etc. Yet I cannot think of a single corollary where a right-wing mob attacked leftists at any of their demonstrations, or for wearing the wrong hat or driving the wrong car or attending the wrong political rally.

      Liberals have lost their damn minds and are sowing the winds for a reactionary response. I would very much hate to see it get to that, but sooner or later conservatives are going to choose fight fire with fire.

        Steve,
        Some speculation, if I may.
        I spent some years in the RAAF and also did a fair bit of target shooting on ranges. Have fired about 20 different guns, manual, automatic, small bore to large, short barrel to long, telescopic sights to none but a barrel.
        It is my understanding that Kirk was killed by a single shot to the neck from a distance of 180 metres. If this is correct, it suggests that the shooter had a top class weapon and was highly skilled in its use. It was obviously premeditated. The question then arises as to who planned and paid for this professional hit job. They would be just as open to a charge of premeditated murder as the shooter (if not the same person).
        Given US history, there might be a rash of copy-cat murders and injuries, as well as this deplorable assassination of Kirk, a bright young respected soul who shall be missed.
        Such horrible primitivism by the murderer is a sickness beyond my comprehension. I can but hope that he is caught and subjected to proper legal process, not released on a cash-free bail.

          You really dont need to be that skilled at a couple hundred meters with telescopic sights. I guess there may be some skill and gun familiarity to set it up in the first place and get it zeroed. But just to make the shot at 200 metres on a dinner plate size target, I’d say most of the readership here could do it.

          If the Trump attempt was real, then it certainly wouldnt take much to set yourself up on someone like Charlie with zero security if you are looney enough.

            In my limited experience, a shooter of a target like Kirk would not be disciplined enough to loose only a single shot after going through all that planning. But yes, that is just speculation. Geoff S

        >but can’t think of even one prominent democrat who has been targeted by a conservative.

        In June 2025, a series of targeted shootings occurred in Minnesota, described as politically motivated assassinations, resulting in the deaths of State Representative Melissa Hortman and her husband, Mark Hortman, and the wounding of State Senator John Hoffman and his wife, Yvette Hoffman. The attacks took place in the early morning of June 14, 2025, in Brooklyn Park and Champlin, Minnesota.

        Melissa Hortman, the former Speaker of the Minnesota House of Representatives (2019–2025) and a prominent Democratic–Farmer–Labor Party (DFL) member, was killed alongside her husband, Mark, in their Brooklyn Park home.

        John Hoffman, a Minnesota State Senator (DFL), and his wife, Yvette, were shot in their Champlin home, approximately 5 miles from the Hortmans’ residence. Both survived but were seriously injured

        Vance Luther Boelter was arrested on June 15, 2025 after a 2 day manhunt..
        A list of approximately 70 potential targets was found in Boelter’s vehicle, including prominent Democrats… his target list focusing on Democrats and abortion rights advocates…
        A friend… described Boelter as a conservative who voted for Donald Trump and was devoutly Christian, with strong anti-abortion views

        The attacks occurred amid heightened political violence in the U.S., with the Center for Strategic and International Studies noting 25 politically motivated attacks or plots against government officials between 2016 and 2025, compared to only two in the prior two decades.

        In that article it says:

        An online petition calling for university administrators to bar Kirk from appearing received nearly 1,000 signatures.

        The university issued a statement last week citing First Amendment rights and affirming its ‘commitment to free speech, intellectual inquiry, and constructive dialogue.’

        The Left just don’t accept the concept of free speech, even though it is one of the foundational rights of the United States.

        In the US, Australia and elsewhere they have already employed violence and threats of violence to stop free speech, (and in Australia anti-free speech politicians which is most of them, to impose bans on overseas speakers), now they are murdering people.

        As I keep saying, the Left are becoming increasingly violent and dangerous.

        This is a dangerous development in the Lefts’s war against Western Civilisation.

They have volunteers distributed all around and in urban areas can get response times as little as 90 seconds with an average response time of 3 minutes. The first responder volunteers have specially equipped motorcycles (they keep at home or wherever they happen to be) with medical equipment for first attendance who are followed up by an ambulance, also staffed by volunteers, to take the person to hospital if needed. They attend to about 2000 medical emergencies per day.

    There is intelligent software at a central control room that allocates the jobs and determines the optimum route the responders are to travel on.

    I found it to be a very impressive organisation.

    On 9/10/2001 Donald Rumsfeld mentioned that the Pentagon had $2.3 TRILLION unaccounted for. The very next day the 9/11 attacks occurred. In the rush to fund the war on terror, the investigation into the missing $2.3 TRILLION dollars was forgotten.

    Video 33:31
    https://youtu.be/vN_NGYdgDck?si=WsD7LIlmRlnZmO_I

    The only department destroyed at the Pentagon was the administration. So the details of these trillions were destroyed by the attack.

    Additionally WTC 7 was demolished.
    It contained CIA and other agencies. Likely contained backup and additional data.

    The world is run by a gigantic organized crime syndicate hidden behind secrecy.

    That $2.3 Trillion figure has continued to rise over time as more investigations were made.

    $10 Trillion missing from the Pentagon and no one knows where it is.
    https://thefreethoughtproject.com/10-trillion-missing-from-pentagon-and-no-one-not-even-the-dod-knows-where-it-is/

    MSU scholars found $21 trillion in unauthorized government spending from 1998 to 2015.
    https://msutoday.msu.edu/news/2017/msu-scholars-find-21-trillion-in-unauthorized-government-spending-defense-department-to-conduct

    The missing money is probably over $90 Trillion at this point.
    https://usawatchdog.com/financial-system-fake-la-la-land-dr-mark-skidmore/

    “To hide what was going on with the federal books, Congress made all government accounting a national security issue, making it impossible to get real accounting …”

    The entire accounting system of the federal government is fraudulent? Dr. Skidmore says, “I think it is. It doesn’t have any integrity. The federal government can modify the financial statements for the public, and they are not going to tell you how or to what degree. So, you get a financial statement or a report that’s available to the public, but it means nothing. What does that mean? It’s totally fraudulent. It’s fake. We are in La La Land. I’m just a normal professor of economics who has a background in budgeting, and I am just stating the obvious. It’s not rocket science. I am just not pretending. I am just saying what it is.”

    This doesn’t mean that all of that money was downright stolen, but still, even one trillion dollars alone is enough money to make a huge difference to poverty in the US.

    The racist murderer of that poor young Ukrainian girl in America is receiving the usual treatment by the media. He is being cast as mentally ill and his attack purely random.

      A beautiful young war refugee trying to rebuild her life, traveling to put in an honest day’s work at her low wage job gets brutally, senselessly stabbed from behind multiple times by a man twice her size ….. and it goes entirely unreported for WEEKS until footage leaks of the murder itself. Even then, legacy media outlets refuse to report on it for days until the outroar on social media becomes too loud to ignore.

      Why the different coverage?

      I won’t state the obvious.

      You know. I know. The media knows. And they we know. And we know they know we know.

        They don’t help because Good Samaritans get charged while recidivist criminals go free.

        It’s the Daniel Penny / Jose Alba effect.

        Career criminals crimes are considered part and parcel of living in a big city and are given a slap on the wrist and then released for the 15th time. Law-abiding citizens who take the law into their own hands are considered a threat to the establishment order and are prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.

          Your punishment for having a knife when they searched you would be very different from the thief’s. For him to have a knife was mere misbehavior, tradition, he didn’t know any better. But for you to have one was ‘terrorism.’”

          –Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn

          That’s how the rules work in an anarcho-tyranny. Criminals doing violence is normal and expected because they are criminals. Law-abiding citizens doing violence (in dfense of themselves and others) is not onlt a violation of the state’s monopoly on violence and will not be tolerated, but it also exposes the fecklessness of the state. They don’t want the proles realizing that when seconds count, the police are minutes away.

    Parliamentary elections held in Norway on 8 September 2025 to elect all 169 members of the Norwegian parliament
    The election resulted in incumbent Prime Minister (Labour) winning the most seats. The opposition Conservative Party fell to third place The right-wing populist Progress Party gained seats with 47 seats, the highest seat count in the parties history and becoming the leader of the largest opposition party. It also marked the highest voter turnout since 1988.
    Labour 53 seats vs 48 last time. Helped by a ‘tough line’ about cutting off electricity supplies to Germany
    Progress 47 seats vs 21 last time. Not keen on electricity supplies to Germany which increases local prices.
    Conservative seats 12 vs 24 last time.
    Social Left seats 4 vs 9 last time (mostly Oslo).
    Liberal seats 8 vs 3 last time (mostly Oslo)
    Greens 8 seats 3 vs 8 last time

    “As I have written many times, with New York’s fantasy “net zero” energy plans, it is not a question of whether they will fail, but only when and how. The Democrats, who dominate state politics, and their environmentalist allies, are firmly committed to the impossible. Thus, they are caught in a trap of their own making, and from which there is no good escape. The fact that they are caught in this trap is obvious to anyone with basic arithmetic skills, but almost all of our politicians and environmentalists lack those. However, a small handful of them are starting to sense the impending crash. This makes for amusing interplay.”

      it is not a question of whether they will fail, but only when and how

      The dynamics in Australia are quite different to most places in the NH. Spain is the most comparable with Australia. Its grid crash was a wakeup but probably not bad enough to quash NetZero in the country.

      Australia’s grid demise was guaranteed once WDGs were permitted access trio the grid on far more favourable terms than dispatchable generators. But rooftops have proven to be a viable source of generation for many Australians and is the only source of generation increasing in line with installed capacity, which is growing 10% year-on-year. The wholesale market has been in decline in volume since 2008; meting higher costs spread across less energy – a double whammy for unit cost. Increasing grid scale WDG connected capacity has little to no increase in penetration at without substantially more storage such as Snowy 2. With more household batteries now going in, the severity of the duck curve will reduce so instability is becoming lower risk. No energy intensive industry can survive in Australia – that includes AI data centres.

      If the big blackout is avoided in Australia then the long, slow downward spiral in economic activity is the only way it plays out.

      The rest of the world may well have moved past NetZero long before Australian governments realise they have been royally scammed – literally. King Charles being the most prominent useful idiot.

    The fire on Greta Thunberg’s Gaza-bound flotilla was likely started by one of the activists onboard, according to authorities in Tunisia — who said there was “no basis in truth” that it was struck by a drone.

    Tunisia’s Interior Ministry said there were no drones detected when Thunberg’s Global Sumud Flotilla [GSF] claimed it was hit by one Monday, starting a fire as it was off the Tunisian port of Sidi Bou Said.

    The ministry maintained that the group’s claim that a drone attack started the fire had “no basis in truth” — and that it was likely started onboard, possibly from an activist’s cigarette.

      The Department for Education (DfE) is keeping files monitoring the social media activity of some of the country’s leading educational experts, the Observer can reveal.

      At least nine experts have uncovered files held on them, some as long as 60 pages. One individual even discovered the department had compiled an Excel spreadsheet in which officials had detailed who she interacted with.

      The results, which she received at the end of the summer, revealed that the department kept a file on her. It included critical tweets she had posted about Ofsted, England’s schools inspectorate, and noted that she had “liked” posts promoting guidance on teaching young children that was written by educationists rather than the government.

    The hapless woman in Japan’s northern Hokkaido island met the fraudster in July on social media who claimed to be a male astronaut, a local police officer told AFP, describing the case as a romance scam.

    After some exchanges, the scammer one day told her he was “in space on a spaceship right now” but was “under attack and in need of oxygen,” the official said.

    The scammer then urged her to pay him online to help him buy oxygen, and successfully hoodwinked around 1 million yen ($6,700) out of her.

    In California, activists are naming ballot measures after Luigi Mangione.

    The left is being whipped into a violent frenzy. Any setback, whether losing an election or losing a court case, justifies a maximally violent response.

    This is the natural outgrowth of left-wing protest culture tolerating violence and mayhem for years on end. The cowardice of local prosecutors and school officials have turned the left into a ticking time bomb.

    “The U.S. has devised a crypto scheme to erase its massive debt at the world’s expense.

    “The U.S. is now trying to rewrite the rules of the gold and cryptocurrency markets. Remember the size of their debt—35 trillion dollars. These two sectors (crypto and gold) are essentially alternatives to the traditional global currency system.

    Washington’s actions in this area clearly highlight one of its main goals: to urgently address the declining trust in the dollar.

    As in the 1930s and the 1970s, the U.S. plans to solve its financial problems at the world’s expense—this time by pushing everyone into the “crypto cloud.” Over time, once part of the U.S. national debt is placed into stablecoins, Washington will devalue that debt…” until it no longer exists!

    Mind you, he’s Russian, so sees things fairly clearly. Trump will have to hurry before the people who don’t want to use American Dollars leave it completely, or it will be just the West paying for the Yanks expensive life habits. Whichever crypto the Americans go for will see the BRICS leave immediately.

    Francostan will be pissed, they were up front when the Yanks dropped the gold standard and refused to redeem $US for gold. We have paid for that expensive American lifestyle ever since.

    France In Flames As The ‘Block Everything’ Protest Movement Sweeps The Country

    On Monday, Macron’s government failed to survive a “no-confidence” vote as the country spiraled into crisis. What’s most worrying for Macron is that the vote wasn’t even close. Prime Minister François Bayrou was dumped overwhelmingly in a 364-194 vote. At issue: Bayrou’s sensible but unpopular notion that France had to cut spending to address a growing debt crisis.
