Hi Fester,

Bit more info on Iran...

What would we do if Palestinian protested killed 100 police?
http://www.aljazeera.com/news/2026/1/11/iran-says-dozens-of-officers-killed-as-protesters-defy-government-crackdown

A lot to go through in here, the moment Iran shut down the internet and blocked Musk's starlink, the protest began to collapse. Now there's counter protests with millions of Iranians supporting the government and constitution bigger than anything, millions.

mhaze: The third and fourth video have information on both the targeting of Putin's residence (the drone tracking chip the Russians handed over to the US) and that during Isreals attack on Iran during the 12 day war Israel didn't go inside Iranian airspace (one of your other ongoing whinges) They were cruise missiles fired from Azerbaidan and Iraq, and the takedown of ait defenses inside Iran was through an infiltration operation with Israeli operatives on the ground attacking with drones hidden in shipping containers just like the Ukraine employed in Operation Spiders Web with the attack on Russian strategic bombers.

>>The 62-year-old arrived in Israel on Monday and was received and accompanied throughout his visit by Intelligence Minister Gila Gamliel. He had meetings with Netanyahu and President Isaac Herzog.

Pahlavi, who bills himself as an “advocate for a secular, democratic Iran”, said his visit was aimed at building a brighter future because he wants “the people of Israel to know that the Islamic Republic does not represent the Iranian people”.<<

CM,

It's all getting too hard. I think that we are on the edge of an abyss to nowhere. I am glad that I was born when I was and have seen the best of Australia and Australians.

Answer-

If we feel it's getting hard our enemies are feeling it too. We need to have faith, stiff upper lip, backs straight, chin up, carry on till the end. Every day stick to our principles, the worst our enemies can do is kill us, at least we keep to 'our truth'. Things will get better, it's harder to lie than tell the truth even when there are profits. Sometimes the truth is the profit, the wise should try to create a nation where truth is profitable, and through this set the example to the world. Those of a kleptocratic bent will eventually burn themselves out, sadly much of the world will burn with them.

One Nation's new movie sounds great Super Progressive Movie (https://www.asuperprogressivemovie.com/) "Narma-geddon" was mentioned, loosely corresponding to Melbourne-Armageddon from a language that seemingly has very little relevance to the vast majority of people living in Australia.
