Developers always want to make millions from every scrap of "available" land and are intent on ignoring flood plain water height records - and they always manage to capture shire councillors to support them. They either bribe the councillors or dazzle them with the level of extra income the council will get from the development. Nearly every country in the world is the same. Americans keep building in the floodplain of the mighty Mississippi - and every Mississippi flood is bigger and higher than the last one, because all the developments slow up the downstream movement of floodwaters, so the flooding upstream becomes worse.

One of the stories doing the rounds, most likely BS, but 'claimed' to be spread by Jimmy Kimmel, Stephen Colbert, Barack Obama etc., is that Barron Trump is the incestuous son of Donald and Ivanka, and the so-called spreaders claim to have DNA proof. If true, why hasn't he been arrested. America is sick, and taking the world down with it.

It can certainly be very difficult to prove sex trafficking and sexual abuse allegations. Witness the length of time it took to nail Rolf Harris. Bill Clinton is refusing to be subpoenaed in the Epstein investigations, because of two angles - one, he almost certainly had sex with underage girls with Epstein (knowing Bills ethics and morality from the Clinton-Lewinsky scandal) - and two, he's likely to be suspicious (and rightly so) that the current investigation is only about finding and blaming Democrats and their supporters who associated with Epstein. Don't forget there's a wild undercurrent of outrageous and unbelievable claims about the "Deep State", running a global paedophile ring, aided by leading Democrats. This conspiracy theory was started by the Q-Anon movement, and died down for a while, but those same conspiracy activists are always looking to revive this "evil underground Democrat conspiracy" line. Rabid Trump supporters are always looking for a good conspiracy story, America runs on conspiracies. I can recall conspiracy theorists advancing wild conspiracies way back to the 1960's, it's a disease in America, paranoia is rampant there - someone in hidden power, is always out to get ya! https://link.motherjones.com/public/40655751

IF the Riley allegations are factual, they should have some provability. For instance his allegation about a military person being dishonorably discharged for watching porn (that showed a underage Riley), there should be verifyable records to support that allegation. For too long I have waited to hear any comment from victims of trafficing. If they exist, why have they not come forward?
-
This media outlet rightly points out, that despite Sascha Rileys claims going viral, nothing that he claims can be verified - anywhere. So, take it as simply unsubstantiated allegations, and remember that Riley is also reputed to be an Army Veteran who suffered a head injury in combat. His claims have actually been around for much, much longer than the last few days, and the propagation of his claims just recently, appears highly likely to be the work of bots. https://www.msn.com/en-in/news/world/who-is-sasha-riley-and-why-is-alleged-epstein-survivors-testimony-audio-going-viral/ar-AA1U8Yxy

The full, true story is somewhat different. Battel was actually under orders from his superior, Max Liedtke. Their aim was to keep Jews alive for the Nazi war machine. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albert_Battel

I don't believe any of Sascha Rileys stories. I think the bloke is suffering from mental illness and hallucinations. I do believe Trump almost certainly had sexual interactions with underage girls, but it's highly unlikely anything he has done will ever come to light. He has too many supporters that can ensure nothing survives in records relating to his "Epstein" behaviour.

Here we go - off the track again.

Had a Cortina with that motor. Yes, it was fast in its day.

Yes, at this point, scepticism. But I'd bet your left nut there is a bunch of FOI applications rushing through the system. Based on recent crazy behaviour by entitled oligarcs and power brokers, it's too easy to believe it. If true, I hope there is enough integrity left in their corrupted legal system to bring the b.....s to account.
-
I'd never heard of him until now, but it seems that the only real evidence is these unverified voice recordings. Hard to know whether it's true or not without more information.

If you have a strong stomach and some time to listen to it, I have been following Sasha Riley’s story online. My wife told me about it. This man who has been a career soldier in the US Army had a childhood from hell. Things he talks about in the recordings with his lawyer tie in with what is written about in Virginia’s book( the epstien victim who lived in WA) others match up with records that can be verified, including a Medivac for one DJT. I don’t know how these rusted on supporters can still support this monster, and there is a bigger overall problem with the mega rich that also needs addressing.

Why? The word escort with respect to people is not the preserve of sex workers. Escort is a general term and can mean someone/people accompanying other/s in any context. The correct term you are referring to is prostitutes if you want to be specific. Apparently, prostitures are also referred to as models (according to Google), so would we stop calling models models because prostitutes are also referred to as models? In this context there is no derogatory or slang calling a security escort and escort in the same was a a flight attendant a galley slave, trolley dolly or other term.. Sorry to be pedantic.

"In 1942, Wehrmacht officer Albert Battel faced SS trucks heading to deport hundreds of Jews from a Polish ghetto. He blocked the bridge with armed soldiers and said simply: ""Not today."" What happened next changed everything. The summer heat pressed down on Przemyśl like a weight you couldn't shake off. German flags hung limp from every building. The Jewish quarter had been sealed behind barbed wire for months. And everyone knew what ""resettlement"" really meant. Albert Battel stood on the San River bridge that morning, watching the SS convoy approach. Truck after truck, engines growling, heading straight for the ghetto. He was forty-nine. A lawyer before the war. A Wehrmacht officer who followed orders and kept his head down. But something inside him snapped that day. When the lead truck reached the bridge, Battel raised his hand. His soldiers lowered the barrier. ""This bridge is closed,"" he told the SS commander. The man's face went red. ""On whose authority?"" ""Mine."" Battel had no authority to do this. None at all. He was blocking his own government from carrying out official orders. But he stood there anyway. And his soldiers stood with him. The SS officer screamed. Threatened. Demanded passage. Battel didn't budge. ""Any man who tries to cross will be arrested,"" he said quietly. Can you imagine that moment? The silence that must have fallen over that bridge? The SS convoy, engines still running, blocked by German soldiers pointing rifles at other German soldiers. The SS commander had no choice. He ordered his trucks to turn around. But Battel wasn't finished. He climbed into his own military truck and drove straight into the ghetto. Right into the heart of what everyone called the ""Jewish quarter."" Families were huddled in their homes, waiting. Knowing. Mothers held their children tighter. Old men sat by windows, watching the street. Battel started knocking on doors. ""Get in the truck,"" he told them. ""Now."" He loaded dozens of people into Wehrmacht vehicles. Grandparents who could barely walk. Mothers carrying babies. Children clutching toys they'd never see again. He drove them to the Wehrmacht barracks. Fed them. Posted guards to protect them. For hours, he moved Jewish families out of that ghetto under the cover of ""military necessity."" Every minute, he could have been shot for treason. Every decision could have been his last. But by nightfall, dozens of people who should have been on death trains were sleeping in German army beds instead. The news hit Berlin like a thunderbolt. Heinrich Himmler himself wrote Battel's name in his files. Called his actions ""inexcusable fraternization with Jews."" They blacklisted him from the Nazi Party. Started court-martial proceedings. Destroyed his career. Battel never apologized. Not once. When illness forced him out of active duty, he went home to his ruined life without a single word of regret. After the war, survivors started looking for him. The officer who saved us, they said. The German who said no. In 1963, Israel honored Albert Battel as one of the Righteous Among the Nations. The highest honor they give to non-Jews who risked everything to save Jewish lives. He never lived to see it. Battel died in 1952, forgotten in a Germany trying to rebuild itself. He never wrote a book about that day. Never gave interviews. Never sought praise. But what he did on that bridge proves something important. Courage isn't the absence of fear. It's looking at impossible odds and saying, ""I don't care."" It's one person deciding that orders don't matter more than human lives. It's standing up when everyone else is looking down. In a world that felt completely broken, Albert Battel showed that humanity could still win. Even when it wore the wrong uniform. Even when it stood completely alone. And sometimes, that's all it takes to change everything. One bridge. One officer. One word: No. "

Sarturay night Camden NSW recorded a totoal of 140 mm of rain. The Camden area over the p[ast 20 years and more so recently has been turned from open grazing land to residential estates. Remember the old song Tar and Cement ? The area was always prone to flooding as it lies in the valley of the Nepean/Hawkesbury River. With all that grazing land now covered with roads and houses, I reckon the flooding will be of biblical proporttions. Meanwhile, the Sun till shines and Maria blows.
