Good Night Oppy.
You are missed but not forgotten.
Plucky little thing.
Thank you Mark.
Just adding the link to the charity where that patch originates from.

Given this is being seen, it was remiss of me to not reference this patch to the amazing 69th Sniffing Brigade and their Freedom Convoys.
Check them out. These patches are unique and limited based on funding campaigns.

John crushed it!
Apart from the obvious failure of this money wasting scheme.
I rather we invested in food security, energy independence and critical infrastructure.
AI isn't going to feed the population, heat our homes and provide clean water should the world order go to hell in a hand basket...
Only one appropriate answer.
A reminder that Putins Eurasian Empire has identified Iran as a strategic ally in its war against the western democracies in 1997.
Foundations of Geopolitics, 1997.
And women.
Tell me again why we would not allow Ukraine to be part of NATO, or whatever alliance Europe needs to form, now that Trumpism has destroyed the cohesion of Atlanticism.
Foundation of Geopolitics, 1997. Excerpt page, detailing how to break up the UK.
Did you know Putin's strategy of how to create a russian ruled Eurasian Empire was published in 1997?
Includes destroying Atlantic Alliances, isolating the UK from the EU, promote breakaway efforts etc
The smaller the states across Europe, the easier for Putin to rule us all.
I like his jib
Fighting for women's rights today also includes fighting for the right to live in a peaceful and safe country.
Ukrainian women are among those fighting for this right.
Glory to Ukrainian Heroines!

Moral equivalence is one of the most irritating of argument fallacies and equally not worth debating as its intent is to discredit the moral baseline of one of the causes or facts, which is of course nonsense.
Prison. Prison. Prison. Nothing short of every CEO of Water Companies going to jail will suffice.
I listened to a single mum with two teenage kids breaking down on radio because despite 3 jobs she couldn't make rent and was being evicted.
So fuck you, the rich and the people you're writing these articles for.
Would that make him King James VII and II?
I am so going to watch this and its going to make me so angry, again...

Tai Chi juggling. Love it, will build that in!
He had me on 'have them join the Commonwealth and our Sphere of Influence.'
Like Empire Building hasn't been the cause for any wars ever.

LBC is in a way a remedy as it brings discourse back to what is usually the preserve of those owning the airways. Influencing opinion and popular culture through campfire style debate. Although the moderator still holds disproportionate power 😉
1st time I heard the term manufacturing consent was reading Assault on Reason, A Gore.
The problem aren't the pundits but the one way street of communication that invaded public discourse with the invention of the radio.
Germans called it Gobbels Schnauze as its sole purpose was mass manipulation.
Of all the surprises this one isn't even of the list.
Loyalty in a Dictatorship is a one sided proposition.

Not so sure.
Quis custodiet ipsos custodes.
Less oversight bodies means its easier to corrupt them.
A system of strong state powers is the best safeguard against federal corruption.
That and a more protected Judiciary.
People shouldn't have to fear repercussions doing the right thing.
Its an emotionally difficult thing to watch.
I think people who voted for Trump lack empathy of 'Other'.
Those opposed care for more than their own demographic.
So I am conflicted. I feel his pain as his cognitive dissonance bubble is being burst and I emotionally understand but logically... 🤷♀️
As William Slim stated: “In battle nothing is ever as good or as bad as the first reports of excited men would have it.”
The important thing is to course correct based on new information.
Thank you. It's worth listening to his 1h interview after he defected to understand how we ended up where we are now. The UdSSR might have seized to exist but Putin inherited their legacy program of Ideoligical Sunversion.
Here's a 13 min extract of the most salient point
