but when they drop nazi in the first five minutes, that's enough for me

shame, because I think they were on the right track re. elon being thin skinned... and it might have been interesting...

There you go again - how many times have you dropped TDS today syppo?

The point remains - TDS is a reflexive response to any criticism of Trump; and is often levelled at women in particular. Is this OK?

Sure you haven’t got TDDS?

Syppo,

If the anti-Trump brigade are afflicted with this TDS psychosis, then I would argue the pro-Trump, in fact the entire Right, are afflicted by WDS.

Woke Derangement Syndrome.

This is evident in the Right’s continual accusations that this group of people (in reality a figment of the Right’s imagination) are solely responsible for all the “ills” plaguing society at the moment.

The truth is though, all these “ills” are the product of the Right and their philosophy.

The Right can never accept any responsibility for their own actions and hence always need a scapegoat or an enemy.

As the communists and socialists have faded from view, or are the Rights best friends apparently; and as the environmentalists and Greens are being proven correct, the Right were in desperate need of a new enemy.

Hence the “Woke”.

And WDS.

Cheers.

Anyone know wot day...
Trump's Genocidal Harry Potter Hackathon reprograms our Jewish US/OZ/UK Govts.

Valar = Recall NZ Citizen Thiel Gods Eye View
Clarium = Gain false Birth-rite to unlock Keeper of the Secrets ( Global Cable empire via Govt plants)
Palantir = Bibi's Crystal Ball > That Knows who to Shoot first before they blink...
Doge is the Harry Potter Invisible Advance Guard Dogsbody of the Order of Jewish Nerds.

In other words Elphias Doge
Invisible Caped Advanced Guard defender for ministry of the Jurist (Order of the Phoenix)

Also referred to J K Rowling's Pet Dog Bronte (Doge)

Trump is hooking Israeli Genocide to every US Taxpayer to every Coles Shopper into one Crystal Ball.
Like Western Xi Jinping...World is mine...precious!

For those on the uptake...Jewish Plants in Oz Govt have been mandating Oz Palantir in Oz for 15 years.
That's why we gotta bow down to Israeli Nuke First don't ask any Questions later Program..
Wotz new at Coles / 7 / Qantas / Rio Tinto /Westpac + Many More
https://www.uq.edu.au/research/article/2024/02/why-coles-just-hired-us-d...
All are Palantir Jewish Ai Slave Robot Factories ...Got it....

Check our putrid hate infiltrated Oz Future Fund skyrocketing 268%
https://www.abc.net.au/news/2025-04-06/future-fund-weapons-manufacturers...
Oz Govt Palantir Shares don't suffer do they...Nope! 2024 June $5.5m - Dec $20m.

https://english.elpais.com/economy-and-business/2025-03-08/palantir-trum...
Yo Yo up another 15% just last week...Why the fuck wouldn't they...Huh! KILL KILL KILL
https://www.google.com/finance/quote/PLTR:NASDAQ?sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwiP_-6Bx...

KILL KILL KILL.
Jews ...Yes Jews hooked their stealthily purposely undeclared Genocidal Palantir into Oz Mainframe.
https://michaelwest.com.au/corruption-busters-double-life-with-secretive...
All names dates of non declared...all Devout Friends of Israel Pollies that secretly run our show!

5 eyes 2011 > ADF 2013 > ACIC 2014 > Aust Signals Directorate 2019 > Austrac 2017
Victoria Dept of Justice 2012 > NSW Crime Commission 2014
All Devout Israeli Sympathisers installing Genocidal Palantir by undeclared means & awarded as Gods.
US / UK / Oz are slaves but EU are fighting back...ridding the Genocidal monster by installing own AI.

Oz / UK are too stupid & cowardly so gotta lick Trump's Ai Crystal Balls.
Yes the Nuke deals & all that shitty baggage that Dutto signed up to...
Palantir also underwrite and run Nukes > for Liberal Party backers...so on...it's a big yawn!
Palantir run all Jewish leaders in Ukraine / UK > preemptive Ai Nukes & Missiles Mega Rorts
Albo / Dutto / Andrews / Minns just close eyes & sign for the Jewish Genocidal takeover & applaud!

Quite a few [L] Commentators wonder how Ambassador Rudd keeps in with Trump...It's Palantir...Got it!
He's an honest Free beholden Chinese Strategist of highest magnitude...Trump can't buy that in US!
Here''s Rudd paying dues to Palantir at DAVOS...Got it...that's his real Job...Jews love him...

Doge is simply US digital services USDS rebranded as DOGE by Musk's Harry Potter nerds...
https://harrypotter.fandom.com/wiki/Elphias_Doge

Most of the Gamer Nerds influence stems from Jewish Irving Kristol.
Kristol deeply influenced & funded their 1987 Libertarian Stanford Review
All were deeply rooted in Kristol's review for ages
Strange that Jewish leaders can't trace this link to Thiel..all dismiss any Jewish links...Huh?

There is an outlier with many players...many date or marry Jewish Women & quietly adopt / convert .
Just saying there are more cases of later Jewish conversion surrounding Palantir Karp's Mob.

Palantir Crystal ball Hackerthon instructs Doge to suck up then weaponize all rival's dirty laundry.
Bibi : We know what you'll do next Summer so we can accuse you, tar & feather then deport or kill you!
Can be Prez rival or Coles Check Out chick...get zapped equally and efficiently by Bibi's Nerds.

Anyhow this Hackathon starts-Runs next week & Musk wraps it up in 30 days..
All rivals Dic Pics & Gun Licences to Mag subscriptions to Tax Dodges all Weaponized by Jews!

https://www.wired.com/story/doge-hackathon-irs-data-palantir/
https://themunicheye.com/doge-hackathon-consolidate-us-tax-data-16296

It was never about Trump ...it's his Jewish Ai Takeover Nerds hat's enslaving our world.
Every nations everything all flushed as Trump's Toilet paper in his Throne Room
He already openly admitted & lauded the fact that Clever Musk rigged swing state election results...

Can remove Trump and Oz Civil society will still be enslaved to Bibi's Computer Nerds!
Don't think tbb is allowed to speak openly on the topic...anti something or other...
Gotta pretend that Jews never corruptly infiltrated Oz -5 eyes Defence / Legal network...just lap it up.
Anyhow, enjoy Voting in our Oz bankrolled Genocidal Campaign.

So in short No...tbb never knew any of this until now...
Only down to this Hackerthon thingy...
So tbb is not imposing this info merely sharing an intro based on face value of Media.
Not conversant to any politics driving this apart from Stanford Uni Paper / Wizard Shit.

Ok! Tell a lie...
Thiel was blown away by NZ Queenstown open Tourism Policy > Says the Jet boats were insane!
This comes off the back of Religious Youth Camp Compound exploiting Far reaching Engineering.
We're talking Sir Hamilton > Jet Boats / Ski Rope Tows / Airfields / Hydro...
All are far reaching tech that bankroll free Licence over distance to bankroll a Religious compound
Thiel was blown away by how tech grants far reaching God Like Powers = Hook into Govt -Pac Cable,
Basically bribe corrupt Conservative Pollies to (grant > Lock in) international repeat Cable contracts.
Across the board at all Civic to defence levels piggy backing countries for gradual World Take Over.
The one constant being a veil of secrecy in never openly declaring this linked network ambition...
For whatever reason...Right leaning Jews were Ok with that & got on board to hide his crooked empire!
So no...tbb is not isolating the Jews any more than a true intro of how this plays out in the media!

As tbb demonstrates...went to great lengths to associate other Wizardry / Anarchy / School papers!
Read what ya like into it but tbb assures he's not implying any Jewish takeover any more than reported!
Again it's the Ai tech that drives the Jewish response...all saw recent raid on Emergency crews...
Even Israel apologized...it's over the top Palantir Ai tech that Judges > targets > erases innocents ...
Like our smoko chix...ya pack of bastards!
That's what frightens people the most...we don't want that evil Palantir Genocidal Matrix here thanx!
Take yer shit back & keep it far away from our exploding checkout Chix please!

...................................................................................................................................................................................................

Tariffs
All here know that China outsources to their nearby growing empire to exempt Tariffs...
See here > deep red circle of high tariffs lumped onto Chinese Hugging Outsourced Nations
https://cdn.statcdn.com/Infographic/images/normal/34229.jpeg
This is why Trump cancels out every tiny 3rd nation outpost to outsource any tariff exemptions.
Like XXXX rebranded & re-Packaged by Macquarie Island Lager

Chinese must now continue to pay US licence for [Made in China] > [Made in US Label] to avoid Tariffs
MAGA dickheads still wave $2b [Made in China Flags] but they'll be relabelled with [Made in US] lOGO!
Yes! Ok...not officially but shit happens...Quite a lot of shitty patriot gear are Chinese fakes mostly!

Hi flollo,

Your call of a 4500 bottom on the S&P 500 wasn't far off the mark.

This is just an orchestrated DCB.

Nothing has changed: if anything the situation has worsened.

The traders who made 5 to 10% overnight will sell out soon and I see another decline into next week.

Maybe we'll see 4500 then.

you started so well

before regressing into hyper partisan nuttery...

it's not any and all criticism that is bad, there was some good and fair criticism in previous posts about manipulation etc.

and it wasn't me that brought up tds, that snowball was well under way before I dropped it...

but the fact of the matter is, I could write a list of a heap of significant events jeffy's fake left friends have gotten wrong since trump rolled down that elevator...

not just wrong, but fundamentally, detached from reality wrong..

fuck I could write a list of 100 with little effort at all

these 'wrongs' were / are now so obviously fundamentally wrong, the only thing that explains them, is opposition for opposition's sake

simply because trump said something, a whole cohort of the fake left media mega complex say the opposite...

and, with little passage of time, are proven wrong

again...

as to your hypothesis on woke, even once staunch deniers have conceded it became a problem, a big one...

fwiw, I think it's barely a problem now, that pendulum has long since corrected

for most normal people...

with only the late to the party, and the rusted ons, feeling the need to go there

but I must say, review bessent's words a few days ago, he tried to enlighten people to the game, and he did give a trigger warning if you will

pretty explicit, in that roundabout giving clues but 'not giving financial sdvice' manner that such official love...

Here's a message i got from a female friend in the US this morning after asking her how it's all going. Hysteria?? I'd say those bagging the two chicks in that video have more of a problem with strong women than with the subject matter.

"Hey! Things are definitely terrifying here. I’ve been taking a news break the last few days because the anxiety was getting to be too much to be able to still do normal life things and get work done.
I hope it all implodes things go back to normal but every day it’s just one awful thing after another. The tariffs are pretty scary for my business the deportations all of our civil rights being taken away. Just unreal."

It's one thing to 'know'' something,..it's another to live it. Id say most of the commenters here bar the ones in the US haven't even half a clue of what it feels like to be a person living under this regime over there at the moment.

Here's a message i got from a female friend in the US this morning after asking her how it's all going. Hysteria?? I'd say those bagging the two chicks in that video have more of a problem with strong women than with the subject matter.

"Hey! Things are definitely terrifying here. I’ve been taking a news break the last few days because the anxiety was getting to be too much to be able to still do normal life things and get work done.
I hope it all implodes things go back to normal but every day it’s just one awful thing after another. The tariffs are pretty scary for my business the deportations all of our civil rights being taken away. Just unreal."

It's one thing to 'know'' something,..it's another to live it. Id say most of the commenters here bar the ones in the US haven't even half a clue of what it feels like to be a person living under this regime over there at the moment.
Hysteria hey.....

regime

hysteria indeed...

chicks watching too much jeffy tv

I'm sure your friend has genuine concerns, but she also brings a heap of bias, that is shown in your post...

2 key things in your post... and 8 years of bullshit and hyperbole..

the media ecosystem - one's chosen media ecosystem - has created this mess

and people like sasha stone - another former dem - write about this all the time, showing real concern for her fellow USAers - how misinformed some are - and the general state of play...

https://x.com/realsashastone

most of the protesters at the recent rallies are fighting bogeyman that simply don't exist

people love to blame fox etc. - and perhaps you could argue it's just an (over)reaction to the fox playbook... but the reality is... both sides have warped reality beyond recognition... the whole media landscape is a toxic mess of misinformation...

as to... 'scared of strong women'

fuck off, you're being pathetic

penny wong for PM!!!

Er...Westminster Parliament 101 gents.
Penny Wong is a Senator.

The Prime Minister by convention must come from the House of Representatives.
John Gorton is the only PM ever voted in whilst a Senator and had to change to the lower house. immediately.

Fun fact- John Gorton used to schedule most of his meetings early in the morning or at the latest by mid morning because he was drunk by lunchtime most days.

Fun fact2= Penny Wong has a brief for a warrant to be issued for her arrest on war crimes and genocide charges under International law and the Statute of Rome sitting on the desk of the Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court in The Hague, Netherlands. So does Anthony Albanese.
It relates to their "support" (now "previous") of the State of Israel in defiance of International Law and UN Resolutions and Australia's supply of parts for a jet fighter used by the IDF.

The Prosecutor won't proceed with the matter. The case was prepared and submitted to the Prosecutor by a group of Australian lawyers.
This is (one of) the reasons Australia's vote recently changed in the UN on the issue of Palestinian Statehood and right to self determination, and why the rhetoric coming from the PM and Foreign Minister changed last year.

Well that’s a good outcome. Surely? Was Australia’s stance previously that bad? I’d hope not!
Who are these Australian lawyers? With the J Lobby?
Can’t see PW coming back to the house. I wouldn’t.

Australia still is manufacturing parts for F-35s for Israel, and Penny Wong is still tiptoeing around calling the whole Palestine issue what it is, ethnic cleansing. Shame.

Islamists are Nazi too.

Im guessing you dont know that "Tens of thousands of Muslims fought for the Nazis in World War two"?

Anyway apart from the obvious hatred both share/shared of Jews and even gays, they do share some history a few Arab leaders tried to work with Hitler in particular The Grand Mufti of Jerusalem who even got Honorary Aryan Status (basically okay technically you aren't us, but we recognize you as one of us)

And Hitler himself had a great admiration of Islam and Mohammad, not just because of the hate of Jews and even Christian's but he saw islam as a warrior religion and weirdly “strong affinity between Germanic and Islamic culture”

Of course many islamic leaders past and present admire hitler and the Nazis and there was even a shop in Gaza called Hitler 2 with pro Nazi garb.

Of course you will just call this Hasbara, but as you can see these are mostly mainstream fairly centre rated links, as it's well documented and accepted, even if many do not know the history.

Two sides of the same coin basically.

"Why Hitler Wished He Was Muslim"

‘It’s been our misfortune to have the wrong religion,” Hitler complained to his pet architect Albert Speer. “Why did it have to be Christianity, with its meekness and flabbiness?” Islam was a Männerreligion—a “religion of men”—and hygienic too. The “soldiers of Islam” received a warrior’s heaven, “a real earthly paradise” with “houris” and “wine flowing.” This, Hitler argued, was much more suited to the “Germanic temperament” than the “Jewish filth and priestly twaddle” of Christianity."

https://www.wsj.com/articles/book-review-ataturk-in-the-nazi-imagination...

"How Nazis courted the Islamic world during WWII

Tens of thousands of Muslims fought for the Nazis in World War Two. DW spoke with historian David Motadel about whether pragmatism or anti-Semitism drove Adolf Hitler's overtures and why some Muslim leaders backed him."

https://www.dw.com/en/how-nazis-courted-the-islamic-world-during-wwii/a-....

"Grand Mufti al-Husseini: Britain’s Deadliest Enemy?

Prime Minister Winston Churchill labeled Haj Amin al-Husseini, the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem, as such.

"Like all Palestinians and most Arabs, Haj Amin al-Hussaini not only looked forward to an Axis Pact victory in World War II but also saw it as a means of defeating what he believed was a joint British-Jewish conspiracy to foist an Israelite homeland on the Middle East that would be to the detriment of his own people."

https://warfarehistorynetwork.com/article/britains-deadliest-enemy/

"Hitler’s Palestinian Ally: Grand Mufti Amin Al-Husseini

Although less known than his distant cousin, Palestine Liberation Organization founder Yasser Arafat, Jerusalem grand mufti Haj Amin al-Husseini (1897-1974) played a prominent role in pre-1948 Palestine. As one of the ‘founding fathers’ of Palestinian nationalism, Al-Husseini remains a respected figure in Palestinian society.

The grand mufti – praised by Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas as a “hero” and a “pioneer” – gained most of his notoriety, however, as a Nazi collaborator. During World War II, the cleric served as an Arab ally and propagandist for the Third Reich in Berlin, continuing the campaign of antisemitic incitement he started in Palestine."

Hi Seeds!!

She was young and attractive!!

And coffee it was!!!

All the media speculation and innuendo at the time was unfounded.

And I can recall Gorton, post politics, advertising whisky.

On the other hand there was Jim Cairns and Junie Morosi who kept the media entertained for quite some time!!!
