Hmmmm, I don't have an instagram account either, but it opened for me.

Try typing Stacker Satire Global Warming into Google and it should come up.

On a totally different subject or maybe a similar vein ?? The Epstein saga continues , my question is how can one man generate so much email traffic , I mean we are looking at millions . Is it a case of burying the real information in the associated crap ?

I've been saying for ages, the CIA, FBI any every other security agency had Epstein as an asset. That could explain a lot of the recorded comms traffic. :-k

And, a bit of breaking news:

The royal family are said to be devastated after Prince Andrew's car crash next Wednesday.

Imported Chaos, radicalised teenagers plotting violence
From: Veterans Frontline News

AFP Commissioner Krissy Barrett says too many young Australians are being radicalised online.

Australians are being told to brace themselves for a chilling new reality: minors could soon be declared high-risk terrorist offenders. That stark warning came from Krissy Barrett, Commissioner of the Australian Federal Police, during Senate Estimates hearings.

Since 2020, twenty-six young Australians have been charged with terrorism related offences through joint counterterrorism operations involving the AFP and Australian Security Intelligence Organisation. Even more alarming is the Commissioner’s admission that it is now “probable” minors could fall under
the High-Risk Terrorist Offender regime — a regime that can see individuals detained beyond their sentence or placed under strict monitoring upon release.

This is not just a policing issue. It is a national failure.

Australians should not have to live in fear of radicalised teenagers plotting violence. Parents should not have to wonder whether their children are being
groomed by extremists online. Yet here we are — and the question must be asked: how did it get this bad?

For years, governments have presided over mass migration policies without adequate integration safeguards, while also failing to confront the growth of
extremist ideologies festering both online and within isolated communities.

Instead of demanding cohesion and shared values, Canberra imported complex social tensions and then acted surprised when they erupted.

The AFP has confirmed a rise in lone actors — individuals radicalised quickly, often online, driven by grievance, hatred or a warped sense of injustice. Some
are influenced by racist extremism; others by militant ideologies masquerading as moral or political causes.

National security teams are now running standing operations targeting white supremacists and hate preachers. Yet even authorities admit that some agitators operate just below the legal threshold for prosecution, exploiting free speech protections while poisoning vulnerable minds.

The Commissioner has promised disruption — overt and covert — and warned extremists their lives will become “very uncomfortable”. But disruption is a reactive measure. It does not address the root causes.

Australia is one of the safest countries in the world, or at least it was. Ordinary citizens did not create this climate of division and radicalisation. They did not
vote for neighbourhoods fractured by imported hatreds or for children to be pulled into global conflicts via a smartphone.

Government after government ignored warning signs, prioritised political optics over social stability, and dismissed concerns about integration as alarmist.

Now, Australian families are paying the price.

Public safety must come first. That means honest conversations about migration, stronger integration standards, decisive action against extremist
networks, and a refusal to tolerate ideologies that reject Australian values.

Our children should be planning their futures — not being assessed as potential terrorist threats.

A VETERAN... :captain:

To understand a Military Veteran you must know:
* We left home as teenagers or in our early twenties for an unknown adventure.
* We loved our country enough to defend it and protect it with our own lives.
* We said goodbye to friends and family and everything we knew.
* We learned the basics and then we scattered in the wind to the far corners of the Earth.
* We found new friends and new family.
* We became brothers and sisters regardless of colour, race or creed.
* We had plenty of good times, and plenty of bad times.
* We didn’t get enough sleep.
* We smoked and drank too much.
* We picked up both good and bad habits.
* We worked hard and played harder.
* We didn’t earn a great wage.
* We experienced the happiness of mail call and the sadness of missing important events.
* We didn’t know when, or even if, we were ever going to see home again.
* We grew up fast, and yet somehow, we never grew up at all.
* We fought for our freedom, as well as the freedom of others.
* Some of us saw actual combat, and some of us didn’t.
* Some of us saw the world, and some of us didn’t.
* Some of us dealt with physical warfare, most of us dealt with psychological warfare.
* We have seen and experienced and dealt with things that we can’t fully describe or explain, as not all of our sacrifices were physical.
* We participated in time honored ceremonies and rituals with each other, strengthening our bonds and camaraderie.
* We counted on each other to get our job done and sometimes to survive it at all.
* We have dealt with victory and tragedy.
* We have celebrated and mourned.
* We lost a few along the way.
* When our adventure was over, some of us went back home, some of us started somewhere new and some of us never came home at all.
* We have told amazing and hilarious stories of our exploits and adventures.
* We share an unspoken bond with each other, that most people don’t experience, and few will understand.
* We speak highly of our own branch of service, and poke fun at the other branches.
* We know however, that, if needed, we will be there for our brothers and sisters and stand together as one, in a heartbeat.
* Being a Veteran is something that had to be earned, and it can never be taken away.
* It has no monetary value, but at the same time it is a priceless gift.
