Big Bruvva’s Watching, Mate
In East Germany Australia, the Stasi Gummint is stepping up their efforts to spy on its slaves citizens:
The next generation of speed cameras being rolled out in Western Australia don’t only catch lead foots but also snap drivers using mobile phones or not wearing seat belts.
In a $1.5million three-month trial, the first mobile point-to-point road safety cameras in Australia will be deployed in and around Perth.
Six cameras, which work in pairs, will measure the average speeds of drivers over a distance, which means those who only slow down when they spot a camera are more likely to be caught.
This is why the OzGov has been so keen to disarm their populace — those fucking intrusive cameras make awfully tempting targets.
I especially like this one:
However, during the pilot the cameras will not be directly used to issue infringements as laws would need to be passed to allow this.
But (and you knew this was coming):
For now they will be tested for their suitability but police can use the data to determine where certain offences are happening.
West Australia’s
StrassensicherheidtsgauleiterRoad Safety Minister Paul Papalia said images showing particularly dangerous behaviour would be passed onto police to investigate.
Someone explain the difference to me between:
“directly used to issue infringements”
and:
“passed onto police to investigate”
From the perspective of the end user (which end of the user needs no explanation) there’s NO difference.
Bastards. Still another reason to avoid the poxy place
Stoking The Fires
Well, now… here’s one that would have made Josef Goebbels proud.
How do you convince people that this summer is hotter than an earlier one — thus supporting your argument to the masses that the climate is heating up? They’ve tried dodgy forecasts, which have the annoying tendency not to come true, and all sorts of other little schemes to make you think we’re ALL GONNA DIEEEEEE!
But what of you just manipulate the mood of the reader?
What the hell do you mean, Kim? This:

Sometimes, the news is just priceless.
Why are people across China refusing to pay housing loans?
A wave of disgruntled homebuyers are refusing to pay mortgages for unfinished or stalled housing projects, as debt-strapped property developers run out of cash. Payments have stopped on at least 100 projects in more than 50 cities, according to researcher China Real Estate Information Corp. Analysts believe that a drop in home values may be another driver for the refusal to meet payments. Until recently, China’s mortgages have been considered among the safest banking assets because of high down payments and collateral value.
So let me see: you take on debt to purchase a product, and when the product fails to be delivered, you refuse to pay for it. Only in a world of banker-thought can you be the bad guy.
As to why all this is happening, see here. (Executive summary: it was all built on debt.)
And it couldn’t happen to a nicer bunch of Commie assholes.
Quote Of The Day
From Hugo Gurdon:
“We’re now able, with our dazzling technology, to look billions of light years from the surface of our planet all the way to the rim of outer space and to peer back as far as the beginning of the universe. But here on Earth, we blind ourselves with ideology and cannot see what’s staring us in the face.”
Most concise takedown of the Green Tyranny I’ve seen to date.
Needless To Say
Here’s one of life’s little ironies which will be totally lost on… well, you’ll see.
Apparently, some dickhead made a fool of himself outside a Congressional rep’s house, making death threats and various racial slurs, all while carrying a gun.
We know nothing about Dickhead, but we know quite a bit about the politician, who is an extreme socialist and Indian immigrant named Pramila Jayapal. Jayapal is one of the leading lights of Seattle’s left-wing residents (no small achievement, that), who was (and is) a strong supporter of defunding police and of BLM in general.
So what did our cop-hating lady socialist do when said dickhead made his appearance outside her house, wanting to send her back to India or else kill her?
Of course: she called the cops.
The Seattle cops have no sense of humor, of course, so they raced over and arrested the schmuck.
Had I been a Seattle cop, I would have taken my sweet time to get there — observing the speed limit, stopping for a bathroom break while taking the most circuitous route possible, and finally: letting Dickhead go with a warning (he was carrying, but not brandishing his pistol) — all so this dreadful Commie could come face to face with some of the consequences of her own political positions that she inflicts on others.
I don’t know whether this foul bitch is on record for supporting the “activism” outside the various Supreme Court justices’ homes, but I’ll put money on the likelihood that she does.
So it’s all the more ironic when yet another of her positions comes around for a little home visit. [insert Alinsky reference here, something about using their own rules to harass them]
Update: via Comments, I see that the dickhead was released (to the consternation of the locals) — yet another of the criminal-lovers’ chickens coming home to roost. Too funny.
