A big rally in Canberra today. The call to sanction Israel front and centre. A rough guess, seemed around 2-3,000 in Civic Square, but bigger once everyone had moved onto the street (don't quote me, not a doctor). Lots of families, great vibe. Needs more singing, but that's just me. Same complaint at the football.

The UK and Keir Starmer are complicit in genocide (and, it would appear, in the murder of British aid workers).

(And Keir, please feel free to sue me for libel under your country’s ridiculous libel laws because I would *love* the chance to run discovery on this.)

still stands as the main question on this post.

but sure, maybe your line of query has more traction for mends.

yeah, the zeolites, bentonites, etc... i've yet to venture far with these, knowing they can deplete other minerals too, and mineral depletion's something i've been striving to mend for years.

gerson protocol, similarly, i was failing to keep it well balanced enough with the nutrition, the remineralisation, to keep up with the mineral and hydration loss from the enemas, so had to postpone that ... at least until getting gut healed (so can absorb minerals), and have reduced stressors (so can cease having "autoimmune" ailments rob me of even more minerals).

nutrition nutrition nutrition, detox, means focus 3x more on what goes in, than what comes out. sufficiency of the good stuff, eliminating the bad from even getting in. a lot easier that way.

... and that's not easily done now, what with all the pollution, the bad, getting in, from all around.

shall be a lot easier when we eliminate the pollution problem upstream.

There appears to now be a growing movement to normalize psychopathy, grounded mostly in arguments about it's adaptivity in the context of capitalism, which is viewed as justifying a subset of psychopathy rather than repudiating a subset of capitalism. I don't think psychopaths need to be unpersoned in all cases, but it's worth noting that as with all things pertaining to psychology, the minor manifestation of this (petty criminal womanizing drug addicts) has always received the supermajority of state and social violence, while men who kill thousands or millions of people have until now been invisible under the diagnostic label. The primary purpose this sort of rehabilitation will have in the context of power if successful, is to completely bypass the period of time where scientific light is shed on psychopathy while the people who cause the most harm could be maligned or held accountable as a result of this, jumping instantly from invisibility to sanctification

A so-called antenna-hilted dagger, dating 6th c. BC, found in a burial mound at Niederraunau. The corroded blade is partly enclosed in the remains of its sheath, with bronze fittings and traces of degraded organic material.
The name of this type of daggers is derived from the distinctive pommel. Such daggers were not merely weapons; they were also markers of prestige, reflecting the social hierarchy of early Celtic societies.

SMUD - an appropriate name for the electric company conducting surveillance for the police.

The $94 Million Smart Meter Surveillance Scheme Exposed

youtu.be/onYWQJsWFpk

Sacramento residents discovered their utility company has been secretly feeding their private energy data to police without warrants, leading to a massive surveillance operation that generated $94 million in fines. This explosive investigation reveals how SMUD transformed smart meters into government spy devices, monitoring when you shower, sleep, or use appliances.

Innocent homeowners faced armed police raids for using electricity to power medical equipment or mine cryptocurrency. One resident was forced outside in his underwear at gunpoint, while another disabled veteran was threatened with arrest for refusing warrantless entry. The surveillance threshold dropped dramatically from 7,000 to just 2,800 kilowatt hours per month, making air conditioning use suspicious in Sacramento's brutal heat.

Internal documents expose how SMUD analysts actively mined customer data for police, checking over 10,000 homes in a single month. Despite California law explicitly prohibiting utilities from sharing precise meter data without warrants, SMUD violated these protections daily for a decade.

The Electronic Frontier Foundation's lawsuit could reshape smart meter privacy nationwide. With the October 2025 court decision approaching, every American with a smart meter needs to understand how their utility company might be spying on them right now.

Dear people with skills and knowledge in electronic music stuff!
A while ago, I was given a diatonic accordion with one in-built hook-up/connector and a different port that seems to have put in later.
Any ideas what these are called?
The previous owner of the instrument has died and their daughter doesn't know anything about the equipment they might have used.
I'm not planning (for now!) on using the instrument with any kind of amplifier or DAW, I'm just curious.

Boosts welcome 🙂

We are looking for an investor who can loan our holding company 237,000 US dollars.

With this money, we will open a farm in Baku, Azerbaijan to produce animal-based food.

We will also make our own animal feed, so our products will be healthier, better quality, and cheaper.

Because we sell quality products for less and have strong advertising, we will sell more worldwide and make big profits.

Why Azerbaijan? Because animal farming makes a lot of money there, but few people do it. That’s why we will earn more by starting in Azerbaijan.

Additionally, by producing our own animal feed, we will be able to sell healthier, higher quality animal products at a lower price.

Since we can sell quality products cheaply and thanks to our strong advertising network, we will be able to sell more internationally and make huge profits.

The reason for establishing the business in Azerbaijan is that animal husbandry is a very profitable business in Azerbaijan, but since there are very few people doing animal husbandry, establishing the farm in Azerbaijan will provide us with more income.

Your profit:

You will lend 237,000 US dollars to our holding company and when 22.03.2026 comes, you will receive your money back as 953,000 US dollars.

Your earnings will be great. When 22.03.2026 comes, you will get your money back as 953.00 US dollars.

You will lend 237,000 US dollars to our holding company and when 22.03.2026 comes, you will receive your money back as 953,000 US dollars.

When 22.03.2026 comes, I will give you back your money in the amount of 953,000 US dollars.

That means you will earn 716,000 US dollars profit in just 9 months.

If you like this project and want to loan us money, message me on WhatsApp or Telegram for more details.

If our project is suitable for you and you would like to lend money to our holding, send a message to my WhatsApp number or Telegram username below and I will give you detailed information.

Looks simple, lots of work though. (also filled the dishwasher with all the bowls and equipment).

Nearly missed this.

“Did UK surrender to Nazis and drop food to them?

“Ever heard of Dresden, PM Starmer? That wasn’t food you dropped. If you had been PM then UK would be speaking German!”

The bombing of Dresden by the RAF and US air force in February 1945 is believed to have killed tens of thousands of civilians. It remains one of the most controversial allied acts of the second world war.

Official figures show that dozens of British MPs have taken all-expenses-paid trips to countries with poor human rights records over the past year. Others have accepted costly travel to the US funded by donors and organisations linked to Donald Trump’s political machine.


Don"t worry, MPs from all countries have made countless free trips to despicable countries, the first being by far Israel...
