Australian mining billionaire Clive Palmer has spent the last decade attempting to construct a fully functional replica of Titanic.

In a new interview with Rolling Stone, Palmer discussed the status of the project, as well as what he hopes to achieve with it. As Palmer explained, his initial plans to launch the ship in 2016 were delayed due to a variety of factors, including figuring out how to “incorporate all the safety provisions and still keep the design of the ship the same — that was a lot harder than we thought.” (If you recall, the original Titanic sank after crashing into a iceberg. Palmer is intent on not having that happen again!)

“One of the problems we had with the Titanic is that you have to make it safe,” Palmer explained. “You’ll remember, in the [Titanic] movie you had the guy in the crow’s nest saying ‘Iceberg!’ That was because from the from the bridge, you couldn’t see over the bow. We can’t do that today. So we had to put a whole new deck in the Titanic.”



Ending woke

quote:

“We don’t believe people should be compelled [to be vaccinated],” Palmer stated. (He previously funded a lawsuit on behalf of Australian police and paramedics who faced disciplinary action for refusing to comply with a vaccine mandate.) Even so, Palmer said, vaccinated passengers will be welcomed. “We’ve got to extend our hand in love and friendship for people being vaccinated despite the side effects. We have to look after them. And they’re all good people. We’re all the same really, like white, green, yellow, whatever it is — to embrace each other.”

But Palmer’s biggest goal with Titanic II is to create an “international symbol” of peace amid a time of strife in Ukraine, Gaza… and, of course, the Great Woke War of 2024.

During a press conference offering an update on Titanic II, Palmer reflected on the lessons learned from the original ship. “We think about the musicians [who played as the ship sank], the rescuers, the engineers… we also think about the Titanic and how it was designed by the Irish and other designers. We also remember the thousands of lives saved by the Titanic disaster because of the changes made to lifeboats and watertight compartments. All of those things we should appreciate as part of our culture, part of our story. The only way we can really do that is by remembering that, promoting that, and putting it out there as a value that we can live with. And we see in a time when traditional values are under threat by woke people who believe we aren’t Australians, that we don’t all have the same rights… I want to put those very revolutionary, very unorthodox ideas out in this particular time of turmoil.”

Expanding on that sentiment in his interview with Rolling Stone, Palmer said, “There’s been a concept in society that you can cancel people. I think you know what I mean by ‘canceled’ people, and we think that’s a terrible concept. The United States was founded on the rights of men to be different. The diversity that we’ve had in our economy, in our intellectual development has really meant that’s developed our society to a higher level. I’m talking about Western society in general. So the French Revolution, the American Revolution, all those things were brought about by individuals [claiming] their rights to express an opinion or view. I mean, you should have the right to be wrong.”

We can all learn from our past mistakes.

Clive Palmer sees himself as the Australian Trump. He did pour a lot of money into a few Australian federal elections and had some limited success. He was plastering his fat rear end on billboards with outstretched arms with the slogan "Make Australia Great" and tried to brand the leader of his party as the "next Australian Prime Minister", which was funny cause that guy lost his seat in parliament.

We must never speak of this!

Palmer is an enormous loving clown, will throw $100,000,000 at a federal election for a meager result, badger everyone with invasive SMS messages, get himself the title of 'vexatious litigant' by losing multiple court cases against state governments, gently caress over his workers financially, repeatedly tried appealing to conspiracy theorists and nutjobs, and is generally just another racist lunatic with WAY TOO MUCH MONEY...

He's genuinely a piece of poo poo, but so unsuccessful politically that most just laugh him off... The Titanic II plan originally surfaced in 2013 for attention, then was quickly forgotten about as he blagged his way into the House Of Reps where he got nothing done and slept through govt sitting days, he and his party were so crap that almost all of them weren't voted back in next time he dumped ludicrous amounts of money on his election campaign, as well as the next election being a massive failure for him, too.

So, yeah, he's after the attention again.

Murdoch renounced his Australian citizenship in 1985, he's been a naturalised USAmerican since.

Australia doesn't have 'too much money', but the rich do, mostly mining or property development magnates.

Committed to burn twice as long and half as bright

Funny how anyone and everyone they don't like is automatically stupid, incompetent, a failure, unpopular, etc. despite stacks and stacks of reality that immediately proves them wrong with even a 3 second Google search.

Anyone they like or who likes them is automatically a strong, smart, patriotic hero. They could be drooling over themselves while getting frustrated at trying to figure out how a cord plugs into a wall outlet and they'd still hail them as a world-class jenius as long as they smile and give a thumbs up when someone says "trump won"
