Damien Thomlinson on our Special Forces. Lest We Forget.
Friday, 20 November 2020
If anyone believes the actions of a few represent the Special Forces (SOTG) as a whole. Take the team I was lucky enough to have around me as that few. Near midnight after being blown sky high had the resolve to deal with the situation that confronted them. Two legs removed, both arms shattered facial lacerations, the threat of imminent attack in the pitch black (Night Vision for the first part) in order to pull of what doctors should later call impossible. 56 minutes of indescribable horror. No Awards were given and none expected. Only blown out eardrums and a rattle that had shaken the soul.
This is the type of Courage and Resilience that optimizes Special Operations. Not the actions of a few nutters. Let’s not tarnish the work that so many did with the actions of a few.
Did Americans really vote for 'leadership' like this?

Muslims want action over attacks on civilians.
Well it's going to be a very big trial in a huge courtroom.
The hide of these people.
New York, The Pentagon, Bali, Bali #2, Beslan School in Russia – 300 kids and their parents murdered.

Hey Muhammad … Do you really want to go there?
How easy is voter fraud in the US? 8 of the 9/11 Islamist terrorists were registered to vote.

Statement from Kerry Stokes AC, Chairman of Seven West Media Ltd on Ben Roberts-Smith VC MG
Friday, 20 November 2020
As I said at last week’s AGM, Ben Roberts-Smith VC is a very valuable employee of Seven West Media, has achieved great results in Queensland for us and enjoys our full support.
The funding of his legal action is a private matter, however he has put his medals up as collateral on a loan and will relinquish them if required.
If this eventuates, I will donate his medals with Ben’s approval to the Australian War Memorial, as I have done so with other VC’s and medals in the past.

Background for our readers:
Mr Stokes has been supportive of Ben and all other current and ex-SAS troops, as well as their families, dating back to the creation of the SAS Resources Fund in 1996 following the Blackhawk disaster.
He is a member of the Trust that administers funds to them.
While we moan about toilet-paper, our mates in PNG suffer real stuff like this 11 year old girl - unimaginable suffering.

UPDATE from our mate Sally Lloyd
$300 would have saved her life.
Rest in Peace little angel.
A beautiful 11 year old girl died a few minutes before arriving at the Mougulu health centre late this afternoon after being the 21st snake bite patient to arrive in our centre this year.
The clinic staff could do nothing to save her.
Her parents and brothers carried her and ran, likely for 3 or 4 hours from beyond Habi.
There is no health facility at Habi and no network communication to call for help.
We can make a difference to this outcome - please follow us and keep watching for how we can make a change to such tragedy in the coming year..
The Hon John Howard OM AC letterhead and signature block - humility personified, like the man himself.

Former long-term PM John Howard gets along just fine without trading off past glories.
Here's his letterhead and signature block.
What a contrast with the pretentious self-aggrandizing Rudd.
Signed off simply.
UPDATE
Thanks to reader John (!) who was quick off the mark in forwarding this to us!
Fixed it for you Kevni - you'll get an invoice from Michael Smith Heraldic Devices

Great letter from a great US cop - Your home is your castle. We won't be enforcing NY Governor Cuomo's order.
Friday, 20 November 2020
With regard to the Thanksgiving Executive Order, the Fulton County Sheriff's Office will NOT be enforcing it against our County residents. Frankly, I am not sure it could sustain a Constitutional challenge in Court for several reasons including your house is your castle. And as a Sheriff with a law degree I couldn't in good faith attempt to defend it Court, so I won't.
Who and how many people you invite in to your home is your business, unlike outdoor gatherings which may receive a police response if disorderly or other violations of public nuisance laws occur.
We have limited resources and we have to set priorities, so obtaining a Search Warrant to enter your home to see how many Turkey or Tofu eaters are present is not a priority. We won't be doing that. The only way to enter your residence is if we have a warrant, we are invited in or an exigent or emergency circumstance exist. We have three patrols a shift for 500 square miles, monitoring Family Dinners aren't our priority.
So don't feel a need to hide cars, cover with leaves or walk 3 blocks so your house doesn't become a target of the Governors EO.
I trust people in Fulton County to use their own judgement on who and how many people they invite. Obviously if you have high risk family members you will weigh the risks to your loved ones versus the reward. Thanksgiving is just that, a time to give thanks for what we have or have received over the year.
2020 has been the most chaotic year for so many people between the CV19, job furloughs, or loss of jobs, interference in education and every other activity. The riots and civil unrest which have cost millions of dollars and damaged or destroyed thousands of businesses and injured multiple people.
The constant barrage of Government Regulations and control over your daily lives has added to mass depression, the exacerbation of other medical conditions due to stress and the disruption of your normal routine.
Honestly in 2020 we have had all the disasters of the 1900s. A Pandemic(1918-19), a financial depression(1930s) and the civil unrest and riots of the 1960's. All this in the last 8 months.
With that said most people want a time to be thankful for the good things we have including family and friends.
I urge you to use good judgement, wear masks, wash and disinfect frequently and social distance. The safety of your loved ones, family and friends should be the priority.
I personally want to thank all the first responders, medical staff from maintenance thru CNAs to Nurses, Doctors and Admin for what they've done. I want to thank teachers and administrators, store employees, the businnesses who have tried to keep the people employed and their business operating.
There truly are alot more essential services from DPW employees to Gas stations to repair shops. I know I'm not listing every category but you get the drift.
I want to thank all the employees in all Divisions of the FCSO for what they do every day.
Fulton County Sheriff Richard Giardino
