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

Well and truly off in this case.

Only IF you let it. There are Much Worse things happening OUT THERE. Nev

Just nitpicking on a Monday morning, but there's another one of those really irritating American expressions in that joke that has found it's way over here. ".. off of furniture.." It should just be "... off furniture...". Here's another classic - ".. should of..." instead of "... should have...". So irritating!

Here's another conspiracy for you. Does it confirm the new bond between Russia & USA ?

Because it usually gets you Nowhere? Nev

But I paid cash for it.

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.

Land of the free ! Land of free speech ! Land of not-so-original dictatorship.

Donald Trump has graciously accepted the Ashes from Pat Cummins.

You Curry things that are a Bit OFF. Nev

Trumps AMERICA CANNOT be TRUSTED. THAT is where we are AT. HOW much DAMAGE is ENOUGH? Nev

The Gaza group will be a small sub-committee. He's trying to set up something a lot bigger to rival the UN as an international organisation with himself as the inaugural head with final authority over everything. That and the $1b contribution request should be a red flag for any country that's been invited to join. I don't think he's going to many takers at this stage of the game unless they see it as a way of currying favour, but that often doesn't work anyway.

Donald Trump will reportedly charge leaders $US1 billion for a permanent seat on his newly created ‘Board of Peace’. Australia is among the countries invited to join the board, which is part of the US President’s 20-point plan to end the Israel-Hamas war and will oversee the reconstruction of Gaza. According to a draft charter for the proposed group, first reported by Bloomberg, members can receive a permanent seat on the panel if they fork out at least $1 billion. Members who choose not make the payment can still join but will reportedly only serve three-year terms.

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

Here we go - off the track again.

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

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.

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.

The Heron Head cross flow wasn't much. The OHC 2 Litre was Quite quick. They all need another gear. Todays cars cruise at about 2000 RPM. Nev

Nothing wrong with the word 'escort'. All types of working women deserve respect.

I once had a 15 year old escort. Needed a head job to be any good. Otherwise it was a good daily drive.

Looks like he might be declaring war on Minnesota. He's been looking for an excuse to use troops against the US population since his first term. The Pentagon has ordered about 1,500 active-duty soldiers to prepare for a possible deployment to Minnesota, defense officials told The Washington Post late Saturday, after President Donald Trump threatened to invoke the Insurrection Act in response to unrest there.

As is usual, there is more than one casually hears in a passing conversation: https://www.nytimes.com/2026/01/15/us/politics/trump-iran-israel-us.html

I worked in a bank for 40 years, They were always referred to as 'the escort'.
