Subprime governments?

by

Last week, Japan’s 20 year bond auction failed. https://www.ig.com/en/news-and-trade-ideas/japan-s-bond-market-turmoil–understanding-the-causes-and-global-250521 The pressure on JGBs has been going on for a while. Big JGB buyers like local insurance firms have reported big paper losses: https://www.insurancebusinessmag.com/asia/news/life-insurance/japanese-life-insurers-report-major-bond-valuation-losses-536925.aspx The government got yields to fall a bit by promising to issue fewer bonds, but if they do that, then won’t that … Read more

The Toxic Feminine

by

Corbie Walpole – a name you have undoubtably NOT heard in the msm. She is the strong independent woman who poured petrol over her male friend when he jokingly said she should ‘get back to the kitchen‘ leaving him with burns to 63% of his body, was put in a coma for 10 days, spent … Read more

Oh dear.

by

3 years of Albo means more mega immigration, more gas cartel, higher electricity prices, more expensive vehicles, more subversive propaganda via schools and state owned media, more of nobody doing anything much except mining and building investment property portfolios. Dutton has gone, but so what. He was an opposition in name only. Most if not … Read more

Replication

by

Just because the last thread was getting a little overly long, this interview of the Hungarian President Vicktor Orban seemed like a good follow on from “Space, community and religion“ Here he is talking about the demographic crisis, pointing out that if it were not for these European wars, mainly to crush nationalism and implement … Read more

Space, community and religion

by

This started out as a reply to Lord K’s post here https://www.ezfka.com/2025/02/22/quis-custodiet-ipsos-custodes/#comment-71078. But since it ended up being an essay and since we need a new post, here it is. We are all pretty upset about the theft of our country by hostile elites, but outrage is just a beginning. You can’t stay outraged. It’s … Read more

Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?

by

Western government, including the USA and Australia have government departments whose role is to audit the performance of the government. This begs a couple of questions: 1. Why did Trump create DOGE rather than give Musk authority over the US Government Accountability Office (USGAO)? I’m not saying that he necessarily was wrong to do so, … Read more

Hate speech and civil society

by

Drew Pavlou posted this and it’s been picked up by onenation: It purports to show an Israeli being told by a muslim nurse in Australia that she is killing jews in Australian hospitals. Given the passing of the hate speech laws, this may have been staged to justify them. It is normal not to trust … Read more

Boomerwaffen!

by

Never really watched the Footy show (at least the Victorian version of it) I don’t know a lot about Sam Newman and have never really listened to him other than as a passing curiosity in terms of whatever news, scandal or outrage he managed to generate through his own public behaviour. However, given the work … Read more

How Australia ceased to be a nation

by

The claim that mass immigration began as part of the ‘populate or perish’ doctrine post WW2 only part of the story and neglects important context. Marc Moncrieff read Arthur Calwell’s memoirs and wrote this review: https://xyz.net.au/2025/01/arthur-calwell-and-his-memoirs-be-just-and-fear-not He quotes: “If Australians have learned one lesson from the Pacific war….it is surely that we cannot continue to … Read more

Kalgoorlie property

by

I have been checking out Kalgoorlie in the data. There are 225 properties for sale and 75 for rent according to realestate.com.au . Growth has been tapering even as Perth continued to go nuts: https://www.yourinvestmentpropertymag.com.au/top-suburbs/wa/6430-kalgoorlie (go to the bottom for links to the other kalgoorlie suburbs) From ABS: https://abs.gov.au/census/find-census-data/quickstats/2016/LGA54280 2016 population: 30,059 2021 population: 29,306 … Read more
