Let’s start with a Kleenex intro. Please join in:

A Sunburnt Country
… I love a sunburnt country,
A land of sweeping plains,
Of ragged mountain ranges,
Of droughts and flooding rains,
I love her far horizons,
I love her jewel sea,
Her beauty and her terror –
The wide brown land for me.
Stark white ring-barked forests
All tragic to the moon
The sapphire-misted mountains,
The hot gold hush of noon.
Green tangle of the brushes
Where lithe lianas coil,
Orchids deck the tree-tops
And ferns the warm dark soil.


… An opal-hearted country,
A willful, lavish land –
All you who have not loved her,
You will not understand –
Though Earth holds many splendours,
Wherever I may die,
I know to what brown Country
My final thoughts will fly. (I love …)
— Written in 1906 by Dorothea MacKellar

Old Rhodies
Now turn your volume Low, so we can insert deviant lyrics:
Doo-doo doo …  doo-doo doo….
I believe disclosures made, to mandatory reporters, oft go nowhere.
I believe powerless-ness is, a traumatic feeling, that can’t compare!
I believe for every profession that goes astray, someone will come,
and show the way.   I believe, I believe.
I believe if Binni’s plea falls, on caring ears, it will stop her tears,
I believe that someone in St Kilda’s, Melbourne, listens and hears.
Every time I think of Senator Heffernan, and how truth broke,
because he spoke, Then I know why, I believe.
Every time that someone says “Society protects,” I see the Old Rhodies,
who did their best,  Then I know why, I believe.
Every time I read the RC summary, and know it’s true, and so do you,
Then we know why, we believe.  Believe….  Be-lieve!

One Love
One love, one heart
Let’s get together and feel all right
Hear the children crying (one love)
Hear the children crying (one heart)
Sayin’, “Give thanks and praise to the Lord
And I will feel all right”
Sayin’, “Let’s get together and feel all right”
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
Let them all pass all their dirty remarks (one love)
There is one question I’d really love to ask (one heart)
Is there a place for the hopeless sinners
Who has hurt all mankind just to save his own?
Believe me. One love (what about the one heart?)
One heart (what about-)
Let’s get together and feel all right
As it was in the beginning (one love)
So shall it be in the end (one heart)
Alright, give thanks and praise to the Lord
And I will feel all right
Let’s get together and feel all right
One more thing
Let’s get together to fight this Holy Armageddon (one love)
So when the Man comes there will be no, no doom (one song)
Have pity on those whose chances grows thinner
There ain’t no hiding place from the Father of Creation
Sayin’, one love (what about the one heart?)
One heart (what about-)
Let’s get together and feel all right
I’m pleading to mankind (one love)
Oh, Lord (one heart) whoa
Give thanks and praise to the Lord
And I will feel all right
Let’s get together and feel all right
Give thanks and praise to the Lord
And I will feel all right
Let’s get together and feel all right.

Oh, What a Beautiful Morning
(Please lower the volume again for “fantasy” lyrics):

There’s a wonderful feeling this morning
There’s a wonderful feeling this morning.
It’s hard to define why we’re all feelin’ fine.
I wonder if it may, be related, to spine!
Oh, what a beautiful mornin’
Oh, what a beautiful day.
I gotta beautiful feelin’
Everything’s goin’ my way.

See the bailiffs are standin’ like statues
See the bailiffs are standin’ like statues.
If they’re plannin’ to jail me, I have no clue why.
Who’d do that to me, when I’m such a nice guy?

The sound of the gavel will be music,
Cuz justice is a-waitin’ for me.
I’ve got a beautiful feelin’
My friends and I soon will be free, oh.
My friends and I soon will be free.
(by Rodgers and Hammerstein, 1955 and MM, 2024)

        • We can’t assume that Simon is Latinless. He may be the author of some of the maxims, such as “Apices juris non sunt jura.”

          Ah, I love that one. “The niceties of the law are not the law.” Or, free translation: Dear Law Students, If you think the niceities are the law, you ain’t dug deep enough. There’s something way down under there called — wait for it — justice!

          And when you find it, you will be th-rilled.

          • “All should not be presumed to be as it seems”.
            I would present in Latin if the time was convenient.
            Simon was a invention and a excuse for a typo🤷🙀🤣
            te!

  1. Jus finished Charlie Ward interviewing Ishmael someone.
    From about 30 mins..
    CW gave up coke and Ishmael states that the world is a sphere, not flat … round.
    (must be a bit like a rugby football …. That makes sense, rugby is the game they play in heaven)
    Oh, and he confirms that the moon was towed and put there plus some other stuff that I did not know. No mention as to whether the Draconians spoke Latin.
    We run in 26,000 year cycles and we are here to see/feel some changes.
    And Soros or someone has bought the rights to Taylor Swift to blow off the Trum..pet.
    Mary, you do not know what your missing.

      • I did not know that you were Greek and owned some.
        Have you asked Lord (or Earl—. Whatever?) Elgin and searched the British museum?
        Better catch up on your Greek if you want to conscript an army for a war to retrieve them , they could do with another one up there and that may as well be a good reason.
        Sorry that you have been missing them for about 2.5 thousand.

        Know a bit about those Greeks, in a past life I was just used as a gift horse and was dragged into a fort for a belly full of laughs.

    • Ned – Ishmael Perez, fills in a lot of blank spots on my journey in comprehending the workings of the Almighty and the place we chose to take up human form, in order to carry out what is expected of us.

      All of us get the opportunity/s to accept or deny, at some point in all of our lives, what we need to absorb, so as to take another step further on our journey into the higher dimensions of existence.

      You and I, have already accepted that responsibility.

  2. WALK TALL, PATRICK. You are making both Aussies and Africans proud. This documentary says the giraffe heart weighs as much as 50 human hearts!

  3. Commandment is “Don’t Kill.”
    With that it’s easy to see the 2 opposing views. I’ve taken it further, abstaining from red meat for 35 years, still eat fish for protein. Sincerely believe wars will end when sacrificial lambs are no longer slaughtered. Looking at animals the most bloodthirsty are demonic, yet the biggest in our kingdom eat krill and veggies. Look at how large bulls and elephants become without eating their own.
    Am a pacifist and truly believe Jesus did not partake in sausage sizzles. How can one “Love thy neighbour” and do so? Not possible, to top it our leaders sacrifice children taking all to the pits of abomingnations. No change within, genocide continues, 🙏 for redemption if you can.

  4. Thank you Tony always good to see your posts.

  5. From Guardian article above:

    https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2020/aug/29/australian-mp-takes-on-conspiracy-theorist-in-court-but-experts-dont-know-where-to-begin-with-online-battle

    “With that realisation comes the question of whether, and how, governments should respond, something the University of Tasmania academic Kaz Ross says has confounded legislators to date.

    “What can governments do? I honestly don’t know the answer. I do know that what they’re doing now isn’t helping,” Ross told Guardian Australia this week.

    Though Australia’s conspiracy landscape is complex, increasingly the thread that unites these groups is a messy Antipodean adaption of QAnon, a sprawling and baseless internet conspiracy theory born in the online messaging board 4chan in 2017.

    Wide-ranging and preternaturally bewildering, QAnon adherents are loosely tied to the belief that, as the Guardian put it this week, “a cabal of Satan-worshipping Democrats, Hollywood celebrities and billionaires run the world while engaging in pedophilia, human trafficking and the harvesting of a supposedly life-extending chemical from the blood of abused children”.

    Evangelical in its zeal, adherents believe a multitude of spin-off theories, including that Bill Gates is using Covid-19 to implant microchips in people and that the ongoing lockdown in Victoria is a cover for the premier, Daniel Andrews, to install 5G technology throughout the state.

    Though Brewer is not outwardly affiliated with QAnon, many of her beliefs line up with the conspiracy. Webster’s defamation claim, which also includes her husband and a not-for-profit women’s organisation called Zoe Support Australia that they founded together in Mildura, alleges the posts falsely accused the couple of founding the women’s organisation to “access young children on behalf of a secretive pedophilia network”.

  7. Found! Thanks to Ned, the Acropolis Museum rang me and said they’re with the Elgins and probably won’t be returned.

    Oh well, who needs marbles anyway.

    • How big was the largest human skeleton ever found?
      When the tomb was opened they found a human skeleton entire, 30-1/2 feet long, 10 feet wide across the shoulders, and 5 feet deep from the breast to the back. His teeth were about the size of an ox’s foot, and his shin-bone measured 4 feet in length.”

      If your going the believe in dinasaurs, this is a doddle

      • 2 min, they could have called this movie, Reset

        “Chandra Bahadur Dangi (30 November 1939 – 3 September 2015) (Nepali: चन्द्रबहादुर डाँगी, pronounced [t͡sʌndrʌ ˈbʌɦadur ˈɖãŋɡi], or [t͡sʌndraˈbaːdur ˈɖãŋɡi]) was a Nepali man who was the shortest man in recorded history, measuring 54.6 cm (1 ft 91⁄2 in).”

  8. Been there, every Australian should fly to Alice Springs, take a camper van from Alice Springs, do the area around to the East a bit and up to Darwin, drop off the van and fly back to Sydney.
    In Darwin check out all the memorials to Australians and US servicemen for those who died while we were being attacked and ask a simple question…. “Why do we have so many ungrateful miserable politicians who have been betraying Australia ever since”? …. I noted, so many killed in flying/training accidents.

    Sorry MM, Dianne has found much older marbles and we are keeping them, they are not yours anyway.

    • It is trite to observe, what if the ‘whities’ had never arrived and were not here and from there, to defeat the Japanese?
      Give us a break, same applies when other countries were sniffing around the Great Southern Land following Cook in the Pacific in the 1700s.
      ABC; ever done a program on reality?
      Deal with history.
