How it started
How it is going.

Australia's identity was formed in gold mines, not in monastaries or churches.

Australia is a nation defined by golddigging.

From the state library of New South Wales:

🇭🇺🇮🇹 Viktor Orbán's state-media mouthpiece M1 Híradó wrote about Giorgia Meloni:

➖️ "Before Giorgia Meloni became Italian Prime Minister, she was the most vocal politician against illegal migration in the European Union. As an opposition politician, she regularly warned of the dangers of attempts to replace Italians with ethnic minorities.

However, during her term in office, her migration policy took a completely different direction, which resulted in a sharp increase in the number of illegal arrivals.

Since Meloni's tenure as prime minister, she has also introduced legislation that allows up to 1.5 million new migrants to arrive in Italy through legal channels."

💬🤔 One must wonder if this is a sign that Orbán is becoming increasingly frustrated with Meloni's shift towards the centre-right and cosying up with Brussels.

Latest from Simplicius:

"These drones are nearly invisible to radar because cardboard is basically porous to radar waves. It shows that Ukraine and their Western controllers are constantly innovating and finding new ways to bypass Russia’s defenses. But Russia subsequently innovates and adapts as well, which is why you likely won’t see such a “successful” strike again for several more months.

"There are big questions also about how these drones made it all the way to Pskov, 600km+ from the Ukrainian border. Some are claiming they came from Estonia. Many people have asked me recently, in general, how Ukraine conducts drone strikes on Russian territory. So allow me to use this circumstance to elucidate slightly on this matter.

"Firstly, it must be known that it was already confirmed by Western media several times that Ukraine is sending saboteurs into Russia armed with drones which are launched from within Russian territory..."

CDC Says New COVID-19 Variant Could Cause Infections in Vaccinated People

“The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) stated Wednesday the new BA.2.86 COVID-19 lineage may cause infection in people who received vaccines or previously had the virus.

‘The large number of mutations in this variant raises concerns of greater escape from existing immunity from vaccines and previous infections compared with other recent variants,’ the CDC stated in its assessment.”

I suppose the Thugshot has more mass appeal than the Smugshot.

🇭🇺🇺🇸 The leaders of some NATO member countries, such as your president, had a strategy to somehow crush the Russians. And the strategy was that Ukrainian soldiers would fight, and some NATO member states would finance this fight with money and military equipment, and so we could beat the Russians militarily.

We Hungarians have said very clearly from the beginning that this strategy will never work, it is a bad strategy and now after 1.5 years of war it is obviously a bad strategy, we must stop this, we need a new strategy or we should make peace as soon as possible.

Hungarian President Viktor Orban in an interview with Tucker Carlson

Those who do not study history...won't get it.

"Stop falling for the lies. You have the advantage of knowing the lies are coming, they are usual at least bordering on the absurd, when they don’t fly right past the border and into outright ridiculousness. They’re also usually championed by a small phalanx of Prometheans who provide the paper-thin 'evidence' to support the President’s Daliesque whoppers.

"There is no excuse for falling for this nonsense again. You’re going to hear outrageous lies about China, Iran, and quite possibly Niger or some other African nation soon. Don’t fall for them."

🇺🇸 Tucker Carlson: At some point they [Ukraine] will need more people, they will need more soldiers, where will they come from?

🇭🇺 Hungarian President Viktor Orban: This is the most risky question, because if any Western country sends any ground troops there, it will mean a direct clash between the West and Russia, and we will immediately find ourselves in the third world war, so now it is very dangerous moment.

🇺🇸 Tucker Carlson: Is this obvious to you?

🇭🇺 Hungarian President Viktor Orban: Of course, not only to me, to anyone on the street, citizens are aware that we live in a very dangerous time, and the third world war may knock on our door. So we have to be very, very careful, and that has always been my message to America, and at the NATO summit: be careful.

A well-respected Republican legal activist was fatally stabbed in the neck inside his New Hampshire home this weekend

The death has been ruled a homicide.

“Alex was an exceptionally skilled champion for the rule of law and the importance of fair and honest elections"

Investigators are trying to determine if the person who stabbed Talcott was acting in self-defense, the AG’s office said.

——

So, a Republican lawyer gets stabbed to death in his own home, and the police are already trying to clear the killer by determining if he acted in self defense?

That's not how this usually works. You kill somebody, you are suspected of murder. You offer the "affirmative defense" of self defense, and that's usually difficult to do when you stab somebody in their house and flee the scene.

I wonder if this had something to do with the victim's pursuit of "fair and honest elections".

Surely there are plenty of people who would feel like they were defending themselves if they killed to keep that secret.

Roman Swordsmanship

"They were likewise taught not to cut but to thrust with their swords. For the Romans not only made a jest of those who fought with the edge of that weapon, but always found them an easy conquest. A stroke with the edges, though made with ever so much force, seldom kills, as the vital parts of the body are defended both by the bones and armor. On the contrary, a stab, though it penetrates but two inches, is generally fatal... the recruit was exercised with the above mentioned arms, as it were with the common shield and sword, sometimes aiming at the head or face, sometimes at the sides, at others endeavoring to strike at the thighs or legs. He was instructed in what manner to advance and retire, and in short how to take every advantage of his adversary; but was thus above all particularly cautioned not to lay himself open to his antagonist while aiming his stroke at him."
