Quite likely. OTOH, today's news had a report of a woman who ran over & killed two pedestrians, in Merimbula. Adjectives ?

I recognise that Mossad is clever - but the logistics of this one (if it were a "false flag") seem to me impossible. Which part could have been put up ? The (attempted) hijacking (&/or crashing) ? That AND it's thwarting ? Or the whole business staged, or just made up ?

I've been trying to remember where I got that from. I think it was from a schoolmate, about 50 years ago - but I'm not sure which one, or where. Anyway, it might have had some slight restraining effect on me ... (or made me a little cautious).

It looks like this is a problem. My suggestion is for them to scrap "Chiefs", and instead call themselves "PNG Big Men". "Big Man" is the traditional (Tokpisin) term used for him who elsewhere might be called a "Chief".

Nurses and community members are protesting in San Francisco today as part of the "People vs. Palantir" Global Week of Action. Organizers say the demonstration is focused on Palantir's work with ICE and concerns over immigration enforcement.

I heard the same thing about the Warragamba Dam (main water supply for Sydney). This probably goes for many concrete dams - if you fall in during the concrete pour, what they gunna do ?

The Skeleton Panda Sea Squirt (Clavelina Ossipandae) is a translucent reef-dwelling creature whose rib-like structures and panda-like markings give it a spooky, animated look. Found in Southeast Asia, it harmlessly filters seawater and helps keep coral ecosystems healthy. Original post

Well, this was in my back yard - 25 years ago. www.abc.net.au/news/2026-09... At least it's going into an area used to noxious facilities - there's a power station, the city dump, and, in times of your, this was where the knackery was.
