It is fascinating. You are at stage 5 of the 6 stage model of how empires fail.
The worst part - you are past the point of no return.

Not just a different president.
In order to regain trust from the rest of the world, you will need to change your political system to prevent another megalomaniac from repeating what Trump is doing.
You need built in safe guards that work.

If you are medical and leave your guns in the US, you can look at Australia as an option as well.
We always need good med people.

"The COVID-19 pandemic at 6 years: Mass death, debilitation and media silence"

"The pandemic has killed over 30 million people worldwide, left more than 400 million suffering from Long COVID... It is one of the most catastrophic events in modern history—and it is not over."

being by "clearing" yourself of prebirth trauma.
Much psychobabble.
I observed the "elders" closely and saw no sign of any enlightenment beyond what you would attribute to any used car salesmen.

books and a ridiculous device they call an "E meter" which supposedly measures your emotional reactions

It is nothing more than a cheaply cobbled together galvanometer en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galvano...
They spoke at length about "engrams" and becoming a superior

interesting anymore because I was going with her and finding it interesting.
My cunning plan worked.

What did I learn.
They are a bunch of wackos who lure young vulnerable people looking for connection into their meetings.
Their prime goal is to sell you merchandise.
Books, more books, even more

approached in the street by them.
She came home and rebelliously announced that she was going to a meeting that night.
I smiled and stated that I had been interested in seeing what they were about for a long time and would be happy to take her.
We went for 3 weeks. Then she lost interest -it was not

It started as a joke. Bunch of guys challenged L Ron Hubbard to come up with a new religion.
He had such a bizarre sense of humour that he did just that.
I bet he is rolling in his grave and laughing at how it has turned out.

I joined Scientology for 3 weeks.
My 17 year old daughter had been

One might argue that Sir Francis Bacon may have been the author - but Trump would just be triggered into buying half a dozen bacon cheeseburgers.
hmmmmm.....

I would have written my assignment on how owning a cat has a negative impact on bean sprouts growing.
Bet no one has done that before.

You've justified, defended & been complicit in A FULL-SCALE GENOCIDE IN PALESTINE for around 29mths now, @australianlabor.bsky.social, but suddenly Labor MPs are "quietly alarmed"—what, their electorates are waking up that thanks to you, "Australia is at war with Iran"? Cry us a river to the sea.

is that a starbucks chai?
I went to a starbucks once whilst travelling overseas and was put off by the burnt coffee taste partially disguised by sweet syrup.
No wonder Starbucks only lasted a year in Australia.
We prefer good coffee.

That is mostly in the USA.
The rest of the world is steadily transitioning to cheaper renewable energy.
The middle east conflict will serve to accelerate the investment in renewables as fuel gets scarce and more expensive.

Endless war was already a given once Israel began indiscriminately bombing Gaza.
At least the nest two generations of traumatised palestinian children will be seeking retribution against Israel.
There will be no peace unless Israel relocates away from the middle east.

A picture is worth a thousand words.

Shows what a debacle the NACC is.

I am pissed off that Albanese has chosen to join the war against Iran.
The war is nothing more than Israel dragging the USA into a fight to decimate one of it's enemies (Iran) whilst continuing their joint genocide in Gaza.

Does anyone else get the feeling that whilst the USA is big on war related industry and technology, they are somewhat lacking in strategic ability and planning ahead.

Was pretty much the same story during WW2

Little to be proud of. #Auspol.

Whatever makes you say that?

Jeremy's reaction is a good measure of how this failure will be received among the wider public, not only as it concerns the NACC, but what it suggests about the broader ability of Australian institutions to hold anyone of significant power or influence to account for anything in future.

They really are dredging the bottom of the barrel.

He did cost the Libs any chance of winning government for at least the next generation (fingers crossed).

I think back to 1956 and despair that Hungary has forgotten how Russia mistreated them and is now licking their ass.

The whole show is a porky.

Never heard that one.
Probably never will as far as trump is concerned.

Not too fussed bout spyware per se.
If the Chinese want to know the movements of a 65 year old overweight retired man who spends most of his time gardening, playing online scrabble and loving his dog and wife......then good luck to them.

Who wrote Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet?

Whitlam.
Tho later it was found to be unconstitutional.
Regardless, the result they desired was achieved.
As opposed to the USA where the inmates are currently in charge of the asylum.
