Suggestions needed.

I'm currently making a website for the little lady and I need you guys to tell me what you like about a site.

Click this for the link and I'd be really grateful if you'd take the time to offer some suggestions. I really wanna keep it minimal because I know if I go to a site I don't wanna be bombarded with info or options. People won't go there for anything other than seeing what it's all about after googling mini goats or seeing a link somewhere.

Cheers in advance.

Mining Kids in Africa

I know Jenn thinks she's the ACTUAL Madonna so I won't talk ill of Madonna, the muso/business woman Alpha.

I actually don't care about celebs adopting kids, it's really only the media that do. It only becomes interesting after years of the media plastering our consciousness with crap and demand we find it worthy of time. It's a self perpetuating cycle of shite. I believe the military do similar sorts of things via the PsyOps department.

The only comment I really have on that side of it is that if the kid she wants isn't allowed to be adopted - which it WILL - it will 'wake' up one day after a hard days work of rendering a house wall with cow shit, mud, and water, whilst sucking back a bowl of fly ridden soggy rice and have thoughts about killing everyone who stopped it happening.

UN Declaration on the rights of Indigenous Peoples

It seems Australia is about to sign off on the UN declaration on indigenous rights (pdf).

Only four nations went against the declaration originally. Australia, Canada, New Zealand and The States. Anyone know why they did?. I read in an article about how it was thought it would put custom law above the laws of a nation.

Anyone explain this to me?.

Happy Anniversary To Me!!!

Today, the 25th, is my 10 year anniversary for arriving in Aus. Holy shit how time flies.

It's also the missus' birthday. Old fart.

Happy Birthday baby.

My Zombie Apocalypse survivability chances are heading up!.

The majority of the population believe that supermarkets are for everyone's convenience with hunting and gathering food. Yeah right. The fools.

Originally they were designed (NB: Totally made up for dramatic effect) as storage depots in case of Apocalyptic meltdown. Over time when the supermarkets were purging their old stock to make way for the new and we'd learned to take advantage of those 'back-door specials' and gather there and 'shop'. Eventually we took it for granted and the caretakers of these depots sort opportunity for vast profits. The fools. These evolutions in apathy and convenience has resulted in what we know today as the Supermarket.

PREVIOUSLY we had to travel 20 - 30mins to get to Supermarket but NOW, our town is getting one. HAZAAH!. And it's just two paddocks away.

NOW I can begin to draw up plans for an assault, capture, and fortify/extraction operation for when the shit hits the fan.

The Slut Vs The Stud

I was reading a rant about the double standard of promiscuous (young) women being vilified and promiscuous young men being celebrated. It's a topic you could do a thesis on and I ain't about to do that, but it did get me to using up brain bandwidth that I don't have due to the Dead Sea Scrolls post the other day.

Interestingly enough the author of the rant is right. Disappointingly enough she didn't go past reasoning and only stayed at the rant stage.

It seems to me - caveat: I'm guessing - that the attitude surrounding promiscuity dates back to when we were beating each other senseless with large weighty sticks and rocks. I think you'll find that double standard goes right back to when the Alpha Male was a dominating force in the survival of the tribe itself. Men were measured on their skills as hunters, warriors, and those that succeeded above the others were given the pick of the women to breed with.

I think that traditionally the nurturing parent concept lasted up till the kid could walk then the male either was beaten by another Alpha Male or needed to breed with others for the benefit of the tribe's survival.

I think you'll find the plight of women being a product of similar factors. Not being picked for breeding with Alpha Males and other social and religious factors.

The attitudes today are just a clash of the hangover from those ideals and needs with the modern day demand that EVERYONE, "weak, or strong" has a right to breed and dominate their own little slice of the planet. We don't win those rights any more, they're demanded.

We're not that far out from being a tribe and many cultures still run that way while coexisting with this modern culture.

It's like waves hitting the beach. The beach being our ingrained tribal ways and the water being change.

IT'll happen. But it'll take time.

Like I said, you could do a thesis on this.

This MAN, he speaketh TRUTH.

Amen.

Ego Trumps Truth

Some little upstart in Jerusalem - who happens to be female *gasp* - has thrown a blanket of doubt (more like a spear in the side) on the reality of the 'authors' of the Dead Sea Scrolls found in 1947 by, funnily enough, a shepherd.

"The texts are of great religious and historical significance, as they include some of the only known surviving copies of Biblical documents made before 100 A.D., and preserve evidence of considerable diversity of belief and practice within late Second Temple Judaism."

She says that the people who biblical scholars believe wrote the texts in and around 150bc didn't even exist. This has been the direction of scholars and their research for the last SIXTY YEARS. We're talking SIXTY years of Christian, Jewish, Catholic scholar waffle being thrown in the bin. It's like starting for the DISCOVERY of the south pole, researching and documenting your trip and discoveries on the way and finding out SIXTY YEARS LATER you were holding the compass upside down. lol It's HUGE.

Anyway, typically the 'Dead Sea Scroll Community' went "pffffft". They won't enter into the conversation.

When someone challenges the 'truth' - not saying she IS right, or wrong, I have NO idea - but they get written off without debate. I saw one dude challenging the generally accepted idea about the Aztec's (or was it the Inca?) once. He got vilified. Turns out, he was right.

It seems to me the study of the universe - ours as a species, and the big black one - is based on evidence and guess work. What we know as fact, really isn't, it's the generally accepted conclusion to the reasoning behind the evidence.

Reality is what the majority believe. Arrogance is a negative. Arrogance is our major fault as a species.

...that and not being able to fly. That would be cool.

Article.

The pot beating the piss outta the kettle.

Check this out.

FOUR of the state's most notorious killers, including triple family killer Matthew Wayne De Gruchy, appeared in court this morning over the vicious jail bashing of infamous gang rapist brothers.

Matthew Wayne de Gruchy, who is serving a 28-year jail term for the murder of his mother and two siblings at Albion Park Rail, near Wollongong, in 1996, is among the four murderers, two rapists and an armed robber allegedly involved in the vicious bashing of the brothers who can only be known as MSK and MAK.

The bashing, in a yard of Goulburn jail in February 2007, almost killed MAK who suffered severe head injuries and needed to be airlifted to hospital for brain surgery. His brother was treated for a broken arm.

After an extensive two-year investigation the inmates have been charged and made their first appearances for inflicting grievous bodily harm in Goulburn Local Court this morning.

The inmates charged, who appeared this morning via videolink, include De Gruchy who was only 18 when he killed his mother Jennifer, 42, brother Adrian, 15, and sister Sarah, 13.

Also charged was triple child murderer Craig Andrew Merritt.

Two words: 'Foxtel' and 'TAB'.

Iraq Insurgents Using a UAV.

Don't think it's much of a secret that Ahma-dinner-jacket (the Iranian El Pres) is supporting the fight against coalition forces forces in Iraq. Whether it's logistical, material, intelligence etc.

Turns out though, the 'mericans blew an Iranian UAV outta the universe that was hovering 60 odd klinks north of Bagdhad for an hour and a bit last month.

Certainly a developement on the bad side.

Here's the article.

Storm damage from yesterday. (photo's)

Because of the drought we've had for the last few years the roots on the trees are shallow. Makes for a hazard when the storms come. Thankfully this one is gonna be the electricity company's drama. It's right near the neighbours driveway and there's power lines running down it.

Forgive the quality. They were done as stills on my video cam.




The end of this one.




Same one. The goat's name is Rogue. Bit temperament.




The goats don't complain.




I've got lots of chainsaw work to do over the next few days. The whole valley is alive with saws right now. Sounds cool.

Our first fog of the year. (photo)

From yesterday morn.

Fucken Politicians.

We've got the state elections in Queensland coming up in the next week or two. I don't really care cause I don't vote here, but the the damn tele is full of pollie bullshit ads and it's funny how they can solve all our woes two weeks out from an election. Two years AFTER it we're all wanting to shoot (figuratively speaking, of course) a few of them. Happens every time.

History is written by the victor.

Just finished watching a show about the hypocrisy, I guess, in regards to us trialling the losers of Dubya Dubya Deuce at Nuremberg. 'We' were just as guilty of war crimes as the Japanese and Germans. For example about how the creators of Gulags, the Russians, 'liberated' the the likes of Auschwitz then reopened it for their own 'political prisoners'.

He mentioned Dresden and the mass murder that went on there and also what went on at the caves of Okinawa and on the Pacific islands.

The dude had a point, and I don't totally disagree with him, but I felt he was lacking a few facts that should have been mentioned to give a more rounded story rather than the agenda that seemed to emanate from the screen.

He basically SAID that the Japanese didn't surrender throughout the Pacific DUE to the treatment they would cop from the allies. Probably true a decent percentage of the time throughout island phase of the war but it took a nuke to get them to stop, which was another crime, he said.

Dropping the caves of Okinawa on the people hiding in there was another crime. Forgetting to mention that the Japanese were beaten by then. Who would volunteer to walk the caves practically guaranteeing your death when the end of the war was in sight?.

I think there's is a valid point in what he was saying. I'm glad we got the write history as opposed to the alternative. I'm sure a large percentage of the world feel the same. Just ask the population of Asia and China that fell under Japanese rule, or the people of Europe and the Mediterranean who fell under Nazi rule. Would they have preferred the alternative?.

We're heading a similar direction with the current conflict against a passionate and driven enemy. If the people of Pakistan have a certain amount of sympathy towards their extremist brethren how else do we BEAT such a foe without laying to waste the whole nation?.

Either we lose our freedom, or they lose their lives, to finish it. Not a pleasant choice.

I'm thinking The Simpsons are in purgatory.

Anyone seen The Others?. BOOOOORING as fuck, but a good ending. Glad the good bit wasn't at the start. Stop reading NOW if you haven't seen it and wanna see it. Okay, NOW, otherwise you wouldn't have read the seen it bit.

The Others is about a family that lives in a house haunted by people who do shit that is wierd. Turns out the people observing the wierd shit are actually the ghosts and the people doing it are real and live there. Kinda like a ghost story from the ghosts POV. Tricksies.

Anyway, The Simpsons are starting to perplex me. 20 years as a family and they haven't aged a day. Perhaps the WHOLE town was taken out somehow and they are all dead, but they just don't know it yet. Would that be purgatory.....a cool version....but purgatory nonetheless.

Just saying.

Bart would be pushing 30 years old. But he hasn't aged a moment.

Yep, the big issues have been churning me up today.

The Octuplets.

Jesus H Fucking Christ in a bean bag, SHUT UP ABOUT THEM. WHO CAAAAAAAAAAARES?.

I used to like Dr Phil when he was on Oprah. Now he's like the moving pictures version of a fucking gossip mag, with ridiculously white teeth.

"The country needs to be able to forgive and heal from this....".

Seriously, he said that. He's been yapping on about it for like A WEEK.

Day TV sucks piss.

...and what does the 'H' in Jesus H Fucking Christ stand for?. Anyone?.

Operation Pakistan

I read this article about the stirrings in Pakistan which makes for some scary facts. It's long, but worth a gander if you're interested in the subject.

In some respects the situation potentially puts Pakistan up the ladder of drama's somewhere near Iran. A few well placed bombs and she'd zoom past Iran IMHO. Is it a blessing in disguise, though?. Quite obviously it's in everyone's - Global Community - best interests not to have Beardy, head hacking, woman bashing, stoning, sharia toting nutters with an arsenal of nukes and unlimited weaponry ready to be sold to any Koran waving group of crazies anywhere in the world to cause death and mayhem in the name of intolerance and stupidity.

We might even see the United Nations cracking some heads....

....nah, we won't, the U.N. is redundant, but you get my point.

The global community really has got their hands in their pockets on Afghanistan....*cough* and Iraq *cough* - we should've too really, but I disgress - but maybe Pakistan will force several tens of thousands of soldiers on the ground in the region, sometime.

Quite obviously the extremist Islam freaks topic is probably a coupla hundred years away from being solved through superior fire power. Maybe, just maybe, the moderate Muslims with something to lose might get involved and start drawing lines in the sand - no pun intended - if their crazy brethren wing start looking at aquiring nukes.

Read the article before commenting too. It'll help with your edukashun.

Woman basher the face of anti-domestic violence

Check this out:

FORMER footballer Wayne Carey could be the face of a new campaign to combat domestic violence.

The North Melbourne champion had talks with domestic violence campaigner and one-time Federal MP Phil Cleary about supporting the cause to end violence against women.

Mr Cleary told 3AW today the pair had chatted during a luncheon last Friday.

Mr Cleary said Carey told him: "I would do anything with you in the future on this question."

The potential role comes 18 months after Carey was arrested and charged with assaulting Miami police who were responding to reports he allegedly glassed girlfriend Kate Neilson.

"He talked about the glassing, he said it wasn't like it has been portrayed," Mr Cleary said.

"He said 'I know I am a big man, I know I can be intimidating' but he said 'I am not violent towards women'."

Mr Cleary admitted women would want to be sure Carey was serious but said Carey's message could bring big benefits.

"It's really important. If people like Wayne Carey can stand up and talk about these things, gee we will go a long way," he said.

"I think that if Wayne Carey says yes I've done certain things wrong and there are certain things that look bad and this is what violence really means and in the football culture there are problems and I don't like it then we can step forward.

"And wouldn't it be good to see Wayne Carey - a big, strong warlord type figure - telling other men that he's learned."

Mr Cleary has campaigned against domestic violence after his 25-year-old sister Vicki was murdered by an ex-boyfriend in 1987.

Good grief. Perhaps they should use his missus.

THAR SHE BLOWS ME HARTIES

Soz about the lettering. It's a fraction exciting cause we haven't had a cyclone down this way for awhile. Think it's blowing itself out tho.

Click the thumbnail. Full image was too big for me page.

The goat show yesterday.

The little lady entered four of her mini goats (no not the Zombie goat Al) in a show south of Brisbane yesterday. Long hot fucking day, I might ad, but fun. I was in charge of looking after the our guys while the missus was running round like a blow fly. I showed a couple to make up the numbers.

Her guys did well:

FTW!!!! 12 - 24 months does, Jitterbug, the temperamental little bitch. She's been shitty for the last 3 days, but she won.

FTW!!!! 12 - 24 months bucks, Grover. He was the red goat that look like Elvis in the 'Our Animals' vid some of you might remember. V proud of him. He's a cruiser.

Under 12 months 3rd, Bags. Bags is 'my little mate' from one of the other vids. V proud of her.

FTW!!!! Siblings, Grover and Jitterbug. Jitterbug had to be carried to the ring. lol She was over it. She got the shits and just lay down. rofl.

FTW!!!! Champion miniature bred buck under 3, Grover. V proud.

They're all under 3 (which is like the senior goats) so she did well. Lotsa ribbons and a trophy which made the missus stoked. I got burnt to shit. Fortunately I brown up fairly quick. Good fun day but a bit too hot.

Stop calling it a DAMN natural disaster.

Those fires that burned their way through Victoria's consciousness are being labelled as Australia's Worst Natural Disaster.

It was tragic, horrifying, and hot, but nothing about them was natural.

It was caused through man's apathy and disregard for the welfare of fellow humans AND bureaucratic incompetence, IMHO.

Saying it was a NATURAL disaster removes liability and diminishes the urgency and need for someone to start answering some questions. I think that is intentional.

IF you wanna see a NATURAL disaster head to the north of Queensland.

The Truth, According To Moko.

Going by the recent happenings in the Capitalist world perhaps we can't really be trusted with our hands in the cookie jar.

The 'rulers' gave us 'working class' an open licence to make as much money as possible and bowed to our needs to make even more when we bitched and moaned about unfair it was that 'they' had access to markets that made them ridiculously wealthy. That same working class ended up ruling, and making laws for themselves, which created a brick wall at the end of the tracks.

The 'Empire Class' lost the reins to the galloping conundrum around 1900. They just didn't know it yet.

Join, or create, a reason for a group of people to get together without any strict guidelines or anyone standing over them with a large stick and watch what happens. Lord Of The Flies is where we're at as a species.

'Money' is the worst thing that has happened to us. It was created by people who couldn't be arsed getting up early to milk a cow.

We belong in a tribe, without money, only cows, and Xbox's.

Right now, on the Moko Scale, we are at 'concerned'. But the general population really has no idea where we REALLY are, and no one at the top is sharing. If we see economies making shifts using their military then I'll shift from 'concerned' to 'build a bivvy in the bush, and take ammo'.

If I had to pick an era to shift back to cause we can't be trusted with money, I'll pick the tribe from 10,000 BC. They were really clean, and still had good teeth. A Sabretooth cub would be awesome.

This has been The Truth, According to Moko.

Gang Assignment.

Got the gang topic. Hoorah.

Compromised with Youth gangs in and around schools. Cool with that.

Got the Queensland Law Handbook from a legal aid firm in The Valley. 40 bucks down from 80; must be a new edition coming out....pffft.

Took a WEEK to get here tho. A.WEEK. I can drive there in 30 minutes. Go figure.

I take Cheds and chewy to the course to eat. I love Cheds, right now. I take the chewy cause the Cheds have parmesan cheese on them. Poo stinky stale breath. It's fortunate I like chewy too. My spirit likes coke too, unfortunately my spirit and my body don't see eye to eye. I side with my spirit usually. Only because coke's yum. Makes me pee tho.

Why The Sri Lankans?.

Why the hell would they shoot up the Sri Lankan cricket team?.

Twelve unidentified gunmen opened fire on the team bus, injuring five Sri Lankan players and killing seven people, including six policemen. The assault took place in Lahore, the scene of a dramatic power struggle last week that saw the ruling party of Pakistani President Ali Asif Zardari remove the main opposition from its seat of power. Critics now say that political infighting distracted the city's security forces at a key moment.

It's not clear yet if the gunmen came from the ranks of home-grown militant outfits. But if they did, the ambivalence in the security forces and among Pakistanis more broadly about vilifying some of these groups – whose targets also include India and poor local governance – could be diminished.

"If [authorities] genuinely investigate it, and they do find evidence that this was the work of internal militant groups, then I'm sure it will help contribute to the people being mobilized against the terrorists and militants," says Lt. Gen. Talat Masood (ret.).

Ain't no hope there either. I don't think it'll mobilise the public against the militants factions. If Hamas attacked a visiting soccer team the Palestinian people wouldn't reassess their loyalties.

An attack like this has been a fear for everyone in the cricket community for a LONG time. We've all been half expecting it. For how long have tours to those areas been going to happen, then not, then maybe, then no.....?

Anyone tell me why the SL's though?.

Moko Has Face Sexies With Dead People (video)

Never ending source of humour. This is me "Tea Bagging" dead people. When you blow them away you get two or three seconds where they can see what you're doing.

Don't worry, it'll come clear fairly quick. Like people farting; always funny.
