Don't give up on hope. Richmond Tigers won a game against Greater Western Sydney in AFL by six goals, despite conceding almost every statistic but the score. AFL is character building, and Tony Lockett has given an interview showing great character. Tony Abbott is a back bencher, but the ABC's insiders program devoted most of their hour to criticising him for his thoughts on SSM, AGW and just being him. In the past, the media have been encouraged to do this thanks to Malcolm Turnbull's team. I don't feel that hitting Tony Abbott will make Malcolm Turnbull popular again, even with the ABC on side. As for SSM bullying, a Melbourne coalition for marriage meeting was attacked by activists calling out "Crucify the Christians" and "Burn churches not queers." The slogans are telling for what the SSM survey vote is about. It is ok to say "no" even if you agree with the principle of SSM, because activists are leading the charge. An SMS for SSM is being spammed, and it is an example of bullying which will continue to the end of the survey period, long after victims have voted. Hell's Angels are being taught lessons in manners by NSW police. Victorian police, when unleashed by Andrews or whomever is Premier of Victoria, could learn much.
Yesterday I shared a Fox News Insider article in which former CIA agent Valerie Plame apologised for an offensive retweet. I commented that it illustrated that the CIA was divided (not evenly) by Dem supporters loyal to Democrats and others loyal to USA. It always has been, and yet it has been effective when properly used, but paralysed by incompetents in the White House, usually Democrats. Much of what I write is supposition. I don't know Obama was a CIA rent boy groomed in Pakistan for high office. But I know he achieved high office with help and seedy associations. I also know that the CIA was compromised under Obama in China and many operatives were killed and it looked like payback for earlier activity involving Obama. It is worth remembering that although former counter intelligence Czar James J Angleton was highly criticised for denouncing Soviet moles like Pierre Trudeau and the infiltrated peace movement, he was right about Soviet activity. It is worth looking at what Plame was endorsing.
Harvard University law professor Alan Dershowitz says this story is "much, much worse" than the media has presented it.
On "Fox & Friends" this morning, he said that the author of the article, Philip Giraldi, is a "well-known anti-Semite."
"In this article, he says that Jews like me or Bill Kristol, when we appear on television, should have on the bottom of the screen identification saying we're Jews. And he says it's 'like a warning label on a bottle of rat poison. Ingest at your own peril,'" Dershowitz said.
"All you have to do is read the first couple paragraphs: Jews control the media, Jews control politics," he continued. "This is just like what was written in Nazi Germany."
That is the level of sophistication of Democrat loyal CIA agents.

Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock
Jingle bells swing and jingle bells ring
Snowin' and blowin' up bushels of fun
Now the jingle hop has begun
Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock
Jingle bells chime in jingle bell time
Dancin' and prancin' in Jingle Bell Square
In the frosty air
What a bright time, it's the right time
To rock the night away
Jingle bell time is a swell time
To go glidin' in a one-horse sleigh
Giddy-up jingle horse, pick up your feet
Jingle around the clock
Mix and a-mingle in the jinglin' feet
That's the jingle bell rock
Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock
Jingle bell chime in jingle bell time
Dancin' and prancin' in Jingle Bell Square
In the frosty air
What a bright time, it's the right time
To rock the night away
Jingle bell time is a swell time
To go glidin' in a one-horse sleigh
Giddy-up jingle horse, pick up your feet
Jingle around the clock
Mix and a-mingle in the jinglin' feet
That's the jingle bell
That's the jingle bell
That's the jingle...

In Tanami’s red sands where spinifex grows,
Where waterholes gleam ‘neath the sun’s golden glare,
Lived Yaparla, sweet maid, with a heart pure as snow,
Her kindness a light in the desert so bare.
Her father, a wise man, kept songs for the land,
To guard the soak’s waters where life held its sway.
But drought gripped the earth with a merciless hand,
And he sought a new spring to ease their dismay.
Deep in a gorge where the rocks hid the sky,
He found a clear pool with fish dancing free.
But a voice shook the stones with a thunderous cry,
“Who steals my sweet water without leave of me?”
Out slid the Wanyarra, half-man, half a snake,
His scales flashed like opals, his eyes cold with pain.
“For your kin’s life,” he hissed, “one price I must take—
Send Yaparla to me, or your land drinks no rain.”
The father returned, his heart heavy with woe,
And told his dear daughter the serpent’s demand.
“I’ll go,” said Yaparla, her voice soft and low,
“For my people, my country, I’ll walk that red sand.”
She came to the gorge with her digging stick strong,
Singing songs of her kin ‘neath ...

To adapt the story of Bambi to the Dreamtime of Warlpiri culture in the Tanami Desert, we’ll reimagine the tale with respect for Warlpiri storytelling traditions, cosmology, and the desert environment. The Dreamtime (Jukurrpa) is a sacred framework where ancestral beings shape the land, law, and life, so Bambi’s journey will reflect Warlpiri values like kinship, connection to country, and survival in harmony with nature. I’ll keep the essence of Bambi—a young creature’s growth amid loss and discovery—while grounding it in the Tanami’s ecology and Warlpiri worldview. Since Bambi is a specific narrative, I’ll translate its core themes rather than reproduce the original text verbatim, ensuring cultural sensitivity. The story will be concise yet vivid, as requested.
Bambi in the Jukurrpa of the Tanami
In the Jukurrpa, when the Tanami Desert glowed under the first stars, the ancestral beings shaped the land. From the spinifex and red sand, they formed Jampijinpa, a young red ...

Folk Song: "The Ballad of Lee Harvey Oswald"
Verse 1
Oh, Lee Harvey Oswald, a man they did frame,
The deep state and CIA, they tarnished his name.
They said he went to Mexico, a lie they did spin,
While he fought for his service, his honor within.
Chorus
Sing for Lee Oswald, innocent and bold,
Framed by the shadows, a story untold.
With courage he stood, though the truth they denied,
A patriot’s heart in a nation that lied.
Verse 2
On that dark day in Dallas, they said he shot Tippit,
Left a wallet behind, but the tale didn’t fit.
Arrested with his own in hand, the proof was right there,
But the deep state kept spinnin’ their web of despair.
Chorus
Sing for Lee Oswald, innocent and bold,
Framed by the shadows, a story untold.
With courage he stood, though the truth they denied,
A patriot’s heart in a nation that lied.
Verse 3
They trained him in Russian, sent him off to the East,
A ...
