Grumpy Old Nasho

It's not so much "immigration", but "mass immigration" created by the conjoined major parties. They ignored public opinion and went ahead with it anyway. Immigration was no longer included in the democratic process, and still isn't. You can have your say, but it inevitably falls on deaf ears. Things might be changing though, with the high cost of living and shortage of housing, the pig-headed major party politicians can't help but hear rumblings from nearly every sector of the broader community. Mass immigration drove me to support One Nation, that's how it affected me. I will not support or vote for parties who find it convenient to gang up against the Public for selfish reasons. They promise sweeteners at election time, but the issue of immigration is completely off the table. As the major parties lose their influence over the general public, as is happening now, we'll get a chance to gain power over them and tell them what we want, not what they want all the time. Mass immigration is not doing what it is intended to do, making us stronger, no, it is making us weaker in every respect you can think of. Why do we have a trillion dollar debt? Why do we have so much drug crime? Why is the nation split into 200 different groups with 200 different flags? Why did we have an anti Semitic "Bondi", and blocked streets full of River to the Sea people? We shouldn't go around with blinkers on. Take them off and look around.

I explained it already. The very public arrest was to appease ethnic Australia, making sure they could all see it, and say ... "Damn Skip" It's consistent with the multiculturalists policy of beating down Traditional Aussies until they are down on the same level as ethnics and immigrants ... you know, vegetables displayed outside main-street vege shops where pedestrians have to detour around them, or bump into them. And dirty takeaway food shops that inspectors are reluctant to say anything for fear of being called "racist". That sort of level. I've seen it, taken photos, complained about it, still nothing was done, I gave up in the end and let them have their third world filth. Every member of the Armed Forces needs to ask: "What are we defending?" - Traditional Australia, or Ethnic Australia that has a population 40% of whom are born overseas? Remember the 2,000 Sydney Olympics opening ceremony? There was Victor lawn mowers and Hills Hoists, and then, separately, there was ethnic dancing and ethnic costumes, etc. This should have proved the point to all who watched, that there is two distinct Australias. This is what Ben has to contend with in regard to public scrutiny. Traditional Aussies will generally stand by him, whereas to the Ethnics, he's just a Skip who is guilty no matter what, even before he went to Afghanistan.

What do you mean by "locals"?

Once again, good news for One Nation.

I don't think we'll hear Iranians say "Death to America" again.

But how can they keep charging $600-$1,000 per quarter when it's only solar electricity? It's just sunlight hitting fancy glass panels. There's no enormous coal fired power station involved in solar electricity.

Not necessarily, I've seen in a news report, a judge sentence a muslim father to only a token 3 years jail for stabbing a bloke to death, and he said" "The Public won't understand this sentence". He imposed it for cultural reasons. In other words, in Islam, it's ok to kill someone who brings dishonor on the family. Actually it was the father's daughter's non-muslim boyfriend who was murdered, just south of Sydney.

Ben is done for if there are any Afghans or muslims on the jury.

So is the ABC .. specifically about Asians https://www.abc.net.au/news/2023-12-15/need-for-diversity-in-australian-defence-forces/103207560

I'd be happy if the media pitbulls got off his back. He's totally innocent before any guilty verdict is announced, if it does.

Anglo Aussies have to stick up for each other, no one else will. More so since the vast majority of Defense Force personnel are Traditional Anglo Aussies, who are susceptible to the hidden wrath of the ethnic community, for just being "Anglo". We get blamed for everything, even Bondi, according to Albo.

It's the political elite that are not trusted. Ben's trial will likely run concurrent with the Bondi mass murderer's trial. I'm betting Ben's trial will be reported with a fervour that will keep the Bondi murderer almost invisible, as he almost is now.

Nah, I've been observing it for decades. While you guys might be concentrating on economics and the weather, I've been concentrating on the harmony and adhesion of a multicultural society, like we've got. One particular trait I've noticed is that Traditional Anglo Aussies' are not going to be allowed to be perfect, that they must be shown to be as bad as any other ethnic group for the sake of "Ethnic Equality". Ask any ethnic person other than an Anglo Aussie. Ben's arrest was in the news on the same day as a report about the Bondi attacker's case. Ben's arrest was given big headlines (he wasn't even handcuffed), and overshadowed the report about the Bondi mass murderer (will he ever be convicted of anything? His crime was right before our eyes. Why isn't he in jail already, never to be released?) https://www.news.com.au/national/nsw-act/courts-law/more-time-sought-to-look-at-voluminous-evidence-in-alleged-bondi-terrorist-naveed-akrams-case-court/news-story/d9db319aa5ce51018ed1cf7d2dcf7a7f

It's gonna be a show trial to appease the multiculturalists so Labor can get some badly needed votes from it. The spotlight has now shifted from the Bondi murderer to Ben Roberts-Smith. I'm sure Ben's arrest was deliberately delayed to coincide with the Bondi murderer's long drawn out investigation. Can't blame an ethnic without an Anglo Aussie to blame also. Gotta balance things out a bit. That seems to be the unwritten motto in leftwing politics these days.

Here's Mars with camera movement. I used a 14MP compact digital camera at full 3x zoom. This was when Mars was orbiting closest to Earth in Aug 2018. I've expanded the image for better viewing. I was just fooling about on the night and tried to hold the camera as still as possible for the 1sec exposure. Click on it.
