Trump Reveals ‘Aggressive Cost Cutter’ to Hold OMB Position
Tom – that’s Calli’s.
Addendum:
If it it’s not obvious what these clowns are up to, have a like at this crap from the Castan Centre for Human Rights Law (Monash University).
From the opening gambit:
Oh they’re focused on human rights alright. I’m just a little concerned about what they classify me as. “All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others”.
The ‘media’ are ‘reporting’ that a 30 year old chick from NSW has been carried off ‘by’ covid, apparently in the same manner as one would be carried off by a lightning strike, or being eaten by piranhas whilst crossing a river or struck by an asteroid.
I’m not referring to these people as media any more, because they haven’t been for some time. I will apply to them the term they both invented for themselves, and practice on a daily basis.
They are influencers.
Academics: Some of the most dangerous people in society.
“We are relying on an election to remove the most dangerous and totalitarian politicians out side China . What hope do we have when we know from past elections that any brilliant Liberal National politician will be removed from his seat. Campbell N ewman, Griener ,John Howard. Never Labor .Paul Keating the most hated politician until Dan Andrews never lost his seat.”
I’m not sure I’m aware of any current “brilliant Liberal National politician”…can you name one?
I wouldn’t describe Nick Greiner as “brilliant”….and I don’t recall Nick Greiner losing his seat, he resigned.
“And even if they were we now, courtesy of Elon, have sufficient launch capacity to do something about it quickly enough. I forgive him a lot for that.”
Yeah, he’s a flawed human being. Aren’t we all? However unlike Gates and Bezos I don’t think he’s evil and he’s leading from the front. Branson is just a lightweight showman.
Well, there was Malcolm Tu
“Brilliant” should never be used to describe John Howard. I can think of lots of other words.
Harsh, but fair.
I prefer “shills”, but I’m old fashioned.
“Snake oil salesmen” is a step to far…into the past.
“Looks like the ACLU really isn’t about civil liberties these days.”
No it isn’t…and it hasn’t been for a least the last five years. Like other once reputable organisations such as the ADL, it’s been hijacked by the progressive left and now all it does is spruik progressive ideas such as transgender gunk. Once upon a time the ACLU would have stood up for Alex Jones, it would have condemned the silencing of Donald Trump…but no longer, all it does now is defend the rights of autogynephiliac men to put on a dress to get an erection and for them to have the right to enter female only spaces. Gone are the days of Skokie…when it actually stood for something.
“They are influencers.”
Generous KD…I just refer to them as scum.
Ben Garrison
(I don’t know what it’s about but it just needed a small url fix.)
“Well, there was Malcolm Tu’
As yes…the great messiah…hard to believe it’s been three years since Tu Tu’s “brilliant” departure….after decades of assassinating others he actually assassinated himself!
“Will he cheer on the antifa doing the same thing to Maranie Rae as per what Glenn Greenwald tweeted overnight?”
What happened?
Proving yet again that I need to become more worldly, I had to look it up. Wiki:
I initially believed autogynephilia to have something to do with diesel generators. Learning, every day, on the Cat.
Mark Twain didn’t like them much either.
And it turned out to be a nice little earner for them.
“I initially believed autogynephilia to have something to do with diesel generators. Learning, every day, on the Cat.”
LOL……actually the old fashioned word to describe a man who dressed as a woman and who hung around female only private spaces was “pervert”.
Peeping Tom.
The logical progression from here is that a movement must be created to establish autogynephiliac Men’s Sheds.
If it hasn’t been done already.
“Peeping Tom.”
No Calli that’s dead naming them….HE would now be called a “Peeping Tammy”.
Thanks BoN.
Oh yeah.

NEWS ALERT
CIA Chief William Burns Met With Senior Taliban Figure in Kabul, U.S. Officials Say
The CIA director met secretly with the Taliban’s top figure in Kabul on Monday as Biden considers extending the U.S. evacuation effort past Aug. 31.
As soon as the media leaves, the bloodshed really begins.
As long as the legacy media & social media can suppress it, the Biden Crime Cartel will deny everything.
NEWS ALERT
Taliban Say They Will Block Afghans From Kabul Airport
The Taliban said that they have decided to prevent Afghan citizens from accessing Kabul’s airport for evacuation flights, a move that would strand tens of thousands of people who worked with Western governments and organizations and now fear reprisals by the country’s new rulers.
Re nuclear power, don’t the power stations need a lot of water to operate? If so I can’t see them being too far from the coast.
BTW, both those are from WSJ, so it’s not Infowars or Buzzfeed.
sfw, you need to ditch the waste heat from coal too. You can use a no loss coolant system and reject the heat to the atmosphere just like you car “radiator” but much larger.
While this might seem like a smart move, this is all about driving up the costs for smaller livestock producers in the US.

Ever since Teddy, the US has been on the path to monopolies & cartels.
Australia is the gold standard for monopolies & cartels.
It’s a feature of the Australian way.
Not a bug.
Speaking of influencers:
Watching the teev. Footage of teeming hordes of Afghanis awaiting salvation in Kabul.
Teeming hordes, that is, of military age men. There’s a smattering of chicks and kids, but only a smattering. Doubtless the rest of them, ie the people with the absolute most to lost have been left behind by the blokes who are engaging in a bit of chancery. This would seem to be the same rough ratio as the people chucking passports into the sea only a few years back.
Half the ANA are now the Talibs. The other half are said to be hiding in Tajikstan.
The West, in a prepared statement: ‘We will take as many of these courageous individuals as we can fit.’
Thank you, Tom and thank you, Bruce of Newc for the Garrison ‘fix’.

If Dash Cat dies….can DB please ensure that Grigs in any of its guises isn’t given a pass to post here.
Is Dash Cat dying Cassie?
Also, how is BF ? Did he keep a treatment diary?
Seconded
Twitter is saying that there was a graffiti incident at one of the VicPol officers that was doxed on TikTok.
He & his family were not there as they were moved as soon as VicPol was alerted to the doxing.

I was just reading Dash Cat from overnight….Grigs was being his usual sinister self. And if the site does die then Grigs will attempt to post here……of that I am sure.
“Also, how is BF ? Did he keep a treatment diary?”
He’s okay….he’s been moved from hospital to quarantine. I haven’t asked him about a diary…..but I know he’s reading a lot!
And there I was quoting Mark Twain earlier!

On skinsuit incursions, what makes you think a commenter name hasn’t already been established?
I don’t want it to die, but the functionality of the site is a nightmare…and only getting harder.
You can see a distinct drop off of commenters, and many refuse to come here (for whatever reason – maybe it’s my posts?).
We lost a lot of good people when Cat V1 died, and we are losing more everyday. It’s sad, right when we needed it most.
Millions of secular Afghanis don’t want to live under the Taliban.

I’m sure as this blog gets more publicity the refusniks will be replaced by other new commentors.
Better staid that fruitlooped.
“I don’t want it to die, but the functionality of the site is a nightmare…and only getting harder.
Correct.
You can see a distinct drop off of commenters, and many refuse to come here (for whatever reason – maybe it’s my posts?).
I can’t understand why they don’t come here as well…..many of us here read and comment on both sites. And no Mater…it isn’t your excellent posts. More from you please. I also would like to do more.
We lost a lot of good people when Cat V1 died, and we are losing more everyday. It’s sad, right when we needed it most.”
In these dire times we desperately the Cat…in any of its reincarnations. I suspect people will return….remember it’s been less than a month since the sudden demise of Sinc’s Cat.
I really DB’s site.
“On skinsuit incursions, what makes you think a commenter name hasn’t already been established?”
I haven’t noticed Grigs here.
“I really DB’s site.”
I meant to write…..”I really LIKE DB’s site”!
Agreed. Two different suites of commenters with a degree of crossover, which to my mind is healthy and desirable.
The six minute delay and error messages are a bit trying, but a lot of the info posted is valuable and thought provoking. I like it.
this is provoking my thoughts
Not just TikTok. The alleged bloke who yelled ‘Come on, pussies!’ Is being named on the YouTube videos showing the event, and more.
It’s an unfortunate thing. Cops have always been protective of their identities to prevent Crims and Scrotes from undertaking retribution. They were even advised years ago to not use real names on FB. Society has, up until now, supported them.
Unfortunately, when you start oppressing a large portion of your own community, and you lose popular support, you can no longer hind amongst them. Someone always recognises you. Overseas experience has taught me that.
Now the traditional intelligence tactics of the police have been turned on them. When once they’d release a picture of a perpetrator to get community assistance, the police are now being outed by that very same group. Things were so much easier when they policed by consent.
I don’t necessarily support this, but I’ve seen enough cross my feeds in the last 24 hours to know that it’s happening. They are not naming all the police involved, just those that ‘appear’ to be ‘overly enthusiastic’ about their job, or may have stepped over the line.
I’m at a loss as to the yes but thinking about the ludicrous in any case 80 percent.

Jamie Newburrie on the warpath
Innate conservatism and a justified belief that Dover is too intelligent for them to feel comfortable. They also refused to visit m0nty’s site. I can understand ppl loathing m0nty, but his site wasn’t that bad. He tried to do an honest job.
I only come here now, it’s very good at providing what I like: humour, information about what’s happening in the world, and sanity in a world gone mad.
That’s just remarkable, rosie! And intertwines well with your “end times” reference – Laodicea was one of the seven churches (the lukewarm one).
Twenty years ago, I visited Pompeii. And of course, the amphitheater. The tour guide, a bit of a showman, directed us to go up into the top and sit. He then stood on the sweet spot and launched into a little bit of opera. Great voice, and it carried right up as if he was standing next to us.
Good times.

Looks like the ACLU really isn’t about civil liberties these days.
Much like Australian “Sybil Liberties” organisations, all completely silent since bleating about the “waaacisssm” of banning flights from Chynerr in February last year.
More on what the Ben Garrison cartoon is about here and here.
Via Mater
“Protecting public health and protecting human rights are not mutually exclusive choices. Measures to protect public health can protect human rights, like the right to life. And restrictions on human rights can sometimes be justified if they are necessary to protect public health.”
See bolded bit. Except the “right to life” of babies being aborted full term.
The abject and dismal failure to control bird did it for me.
As you know I detest guided tours and only take them when there is no other option.
Barefoot Carmelite monastery in Madrid and the music college in Siena* but your little bit of opera sounds like one of those moments.
One of the enormous frustrations that we can’t travel 5km but in the Northern hemisphere they are getting back to normal.

Apparently there still exists youthful blithe spirits who thumb their nose at the Andrews police state.
And a definite reminder that if enough people committed acts of civil disobedience there is nothing they could do about it.

I admit to putting a tiny boy on a swing for a few minutes yesterday.
Very stressful but completely ridiculous that it should be.
“I don’t necessarily support this, but I’ve seen enough cross my feeds in the last 24 hours to know that it’s happening. They are not naming all the police involved, just those that ‘appear’ to be ‘overly enthusiastic’ about their job, or may have stepped over the line.”
Well said Mater…..like you I don’t support “doxing” in any way…but I find it interesting how the tactics of the left are now being used against them….people are angry….rightly so.
This site definitely needs more irreverent banter.
“The abject and dismal failure to control bird did it for me.”
Yep…plus a certain “incident” about two weeks ago also did it for me. Now Adam has cleaned up the site…but when I think about the Cat now…my first thought is always DB’s site.
“This site definitely needs more irreverent banter.”
It’ll come….remember it’s only just a few weeks old!
Actually, we need the “gang of ten” here.
“Australian “Sybil Liberties” organisations”
Made up of the likes of Tim Soupinthemouth and Julian, I’m superior to everyone else, Burnside.
They are silent.
I think seven of the Gang ‘o Four have visited here.
apparently the Australian’s circulation is growing
“I think seven of the Gang ‘o Four have visited here.”
The gang is open to new members!
The two cat demarcation dispute is somewhat entertaining in itself.
The jacks, particularly detectives used to go to some length to conceal their personal phone numbers, home addresses and so on to prevent proper crooks, not your low-end shitbags from performing what was and is known as ‘R&D’.
It was never considered necessary to protect your identity from normies protesting the loss of their businesses, jobs and the development of their children.
More proof, if it was needed, that the consent of the public for the police to police them has been lost.
Unsurprising, really.
Ah yes.
I saw Rockinghorse aka NoIamPeter aka Iwasnearlyfamousonce aka AKBurialGuy was making predictions about Impending Big Things over on Discordant Cats a couple of weeks ago.
Presumably it all came to nought.
Again.
“More proof, if it was needed, that the consent of the public for the police to police them has been lost.
Unsurprising, really.”
Yep but it’s really sad.
The time will come when people proudly display their original member of the gang of four credentials.
If only the freedom blog had inserted the word catallaxy in their name, it could have been a four way tussle.
I am not sure why there needs to be a survival of the fittest “final Cat-off”.
Some go one way, some go another.
And some like it both ways.
Just an observation – some of you guys talk about Themmmm more than they talk about you.

There’s a bit of concern trolling going on right now at the Front Bar about unseemly words being bandied about.

It’s like the menu. You can always look but choose not to eat.
I’m still curious about the banner. It has to be clipped from one of those renaissance perspective frescoes, but I just can’t pinpoint it. Driving me nuts.
I hope Dover puts me out of my misery soon.

The paywall bypass hack someone published is working fine for me.
Yep, just like those on ‘social’ media who constantly, ‘report’ exactly what the ‘media’ churns out, as, ‘The Sources to be trusted, because look, it’s all over MSM.’, while they trash every actual expert who contradicts the ‘media’ ‘experts’.

Lockdown lingo we’ll never want to hear again
JANET ALBRECHTSEN – The Australian
There is a lexicon of words and phrases from Covid that many of us never want to hear again. Like “we’re all this in together”. We aren’t. We never were. Politicians who say so are not even fooling some of the people some of the time. This phrase will turn out to be the biggest fraud of all about this pandemic. It is usually a pointer to some other motive.
Sometimes we’re told “we’re all in this together” to encourage us to follow rules. That doesn’t work because, like Animal Farm, some animals are more equal than others, like footy players and their families who can enter Queensland, yet the Premier denies a man entry to see his dying father.
Last weekend the phrase was used by 19 Labor local councillors from southwest and western Sydney. In their open letter they said: “Applying a curfew to half of Sydney only is not how you tell them we are all in this together.”
You don’t say. But where were these Labor politicians when the good folk on Sydney’s northern beaches went into lockdown to stem the Avalon cluster last year? Calling for solidarity across Sydney? Demanding that we should all be in this together? It’s hard to find any other reason for the letter except politics. That’s nothing new. But these politicians’ hypocrisy deserves a “call out” – another exasperating Covid phrase.
The notion that a state should not impose different rules for different regions depending on the spread of the virus is utter nonsense. For that kind of crazy, head to South Australia where Premier Steven Marshall is – using Labor’s measure – the most unifying Covid leader in the country. How did the people of Oodnadatta, 1043km north of the capital, feel about being in this together when Marshall shut down the state after one or two cases in Adelaide?
Sensible leaders apply different rules for different risk scenarios. On Monday, of 818 new Covid cases in NSW, more than 700 were from southwest and western Sydney. That’s why different restrictions make sense. Perhaps the councillors could encourage more of their constituents to follow the rules. Clearly many aren’t, otherwise case numbers in their electorates would be falling.
It’s especially unfortunate to see federal Labor MP Chris Bowen, who represents the western Sydney seat of McMahon, trying to score points by confecting a class war between east and west. Bowen should know better. His franking credit policy was a textbook case of how class war backfires. It failed so badly during the 2019 election that Labor won’t touch it next time around.
It’s fair enough for Labor councillors to hold the NSW Premier to account for confused and constantly changing rules in areas where English often is not the language spoken at home. But what makes Labor’s cruder campaign of division especially misguided is there are other legitimate reasons to challenge the Liberal Premier.
The councillors could focus on the lack of medical evidence that a night-time curfew does anything to reduce case numbers. The Premier has told us it doesn’t make a difference. Labor should hold Gladys Berejiklian to account for provable nonsense rather than confecting its own.
But that’s the dilemma for Labor: evidence-free curfews are the go-to restriction for Victorian Labor Premier Daniel Andrews.
Federally, Labor is wedged by premiers who are addicted to hard and cruel lockdowns. Who can forget Andrews locking down 3000 people in nine public housing towers last year? That said, it’s hard not to see the direct line between a federal government that continues to lock 22 million Australians, even double-vaccinated citizens, inside the country and premiers who keep locking down their states. That’s another pointer to the fraud that we are in this together. How many cabinet ministers responsible for turning Australia into a hermit kingdom feel that pain? How many are separated from their children by their closed international border?
Labor would serve the country better by holding the Morrison government to account by demanding the scientific and medical evidence that prevents fully vaccinated Australians from being reunited with family overseas. Or is Scott Morrison’s policy based on parochial politics led by polling, not science?
On Monday, the Prime Minister said: “Once we get to 80 per cent (vaccination levels) we have to move forward. We cannot be held back.” There is another critical question Labor could ask Morrison: what happens if 80 per cent vaccination rates are not reached?
Opening the country is premised on reaching certain vaccination levels: fewer lockdowns when the rate reaches 70 cent and rare and highly targeted lockdowns when it hits 80 per cent. Morrison is plugging a plan that makes no room for plan B.
A few countries have reached 80 per cent (United Arab Emirates and Malta), a handful have reached 70 per cent, and most are between 60 and 70 per cent. Most of these countries started their vaccination programs late last year, not in March this year when the Morrison government started dribbling out jabs.
At the federal level, Australians have endured a dismal vaccination rollout: confused health messages, hysteria from the Morrison government over AstraZeneca, Health Minister Greg Hunt telling Australians they could wait for Pfizer in October, and no discernible marketing campaign. If only Morrison had used the ad guys from Qantas.
How certain is the timeframe to 80 per cent? Given the damage to children, young people, the most mentally vulnerable, people who can’t work during lockdowns, this deserves an answer.
Is next year going to be another one of locking Australians inside their country, being the laughing stock of other countries that are living with the virus sensibly? What if NSW gets to 80 per cent vaccination levels while other states don’t? What about allowing NSW to open its international airports to vaccinated Australians? Why should NSW be forced down the demented rabbit holes of Queensland, WA and SA? That would get these states off their lazy lockdown backsides.
Apart from playing class war, does Labor have a plan out of this recurring lockdown nightmare that is especially horrendous for people who should be Labor’s path to election victory?
Yes.
This is Sancho.
I have a great idea.
Why doesn’t someone just paste across all the comments from dash cat?
Because we know no-one actually reads both.
Also I wonder how thrilled Professor Borody would be to be linked with small men with big chips and general assorted internet loons.

Apparently not.

Another reason 80 percent is a pipe dream.
The eligible Australian cohort includes 16 to 19 year olds.
Even non vaccine hesitate parents in their forties are likely to baulk at vaccinating their teens where the risk of an adverse reaction is higher than their covid risk.
My 24 year old asked me again yesterday if he should get vaxxed and I said I couldn’t see any medical reason for him to do so.
His body isn’t a charitable institution.
Covid is also responsible for a rise in split personalities.
Very sad state of affairs.

30 years ago, we were assured by our betters, academic grifters and corporate criminals that the rise of capitalism in China will lead inevitably to an overwhelming movement towards democracy. “So don’t bitch about us exporting your kids livelihoods to the benign aspirant model global citizen”.
The English language lacks adequate expressions of outrage.

That’s very unfortunate zippy.
Mandatory vaccination should be heartily resisted.
Still of the firm opinion the focus should have been on encouraging over 50s to vaccinate and left the rest entirely optional.
Matteo Salvini was clear enough under 40 don’t bother, 40 to 59, optional, 60 and above encouraged but what would Italians know about covid?
From Janet Albrechtsen’s column via TE’s post above:
I wonder if the councillors were saying that they would be fairer if the lockdown conditions were applied to all of Sydney.
The experiment should be declared a failure but the MONEY, the MONEY, the MONEY which the academic grifters and corporate criminal to say nothing of the retailed politicians, is just so intoxicating and they’ll sell nations out for it. China would be gone in a heartbeat if only the Western nations would simply STOP DOING BUSINESS WITH THE REGIME

The Irish data shows that even if vaccinated it’s the underlying co-morbidities that are a predictor of hospitalisation. Obesity seems to be at the top of the list.

I remember when Beijing was awarded the Olympics (and also earlier when granter Most Favoured Nation status by the US) that people said it would encourage them to be more open and democratic.
My immediate thoughts were “Why should they? They are getting exactly what they want without it.”
I don’t think that the people behind the decisions really believed China would change. They doubtless had cynical and opportunistic motivations, and I expect more than a little Machiavellian manipulation (although it was the Chinese doing the manipulating). So they had to confect a more idealistic message about openness and democracy.
And they were comfortable that by the time the Chinese had given the lie to the slogan they would have been out of politics.

That’s 4 international teams from Oz, NZ, South Africa and Argentina.
So her “Fuck off we’re full” is utter bullshit.

Seriously, fwuck them.
Stop supporting professional sport.
They aren’t “role models” the aren’t “the best” the sport produces. Go and support your town or suburban team when the lockdown lifts. You might be suprised at the high standard and the fun you can have when woke isn’t involved.
I hope the chicken trucks will be at the front of any trucking blockade.
A message worth sending!
Dot:
No. This is where government continually stuffs up – no special deals for anyone. Instead drop all the subsidies and special provisions for all industries.
Government should be treating everyone the same – industrialist and unions are too bloody good at getting tax deals for themselves.
Just make sure the legal system stops the workshy Greenies from interfering and hammer the damn unions when they play silly games.
Perhaps a special workforce can be arranged for the cobalt mines? Those kids need a hand, and the greenies need an education in the social cost of their policies.
Is it true it’s now called the USSNSW?
Happy to oblige JMH; I found in the old days of the cat it would often run so fast that there was little chance to scout around others site and barely a need to due to the quality of thinking and links it provided, so when I see an especially worthwile post on one that I haven’t seen on others, I figure it’s worth sharing further.
While it is good to have a few cats to bounce around for those with extra time to spare, some people have settled into one or another and even when they pop into others for a look, often good posts are missed because 1. they’ve been buried way back, because 2. there are always those invested in burying information that goes against what they’re committed to selling.
It still astounds me, how after all the drama’s of the old cat’s slow and ugly death, that there are still people who can’t accept that such a site MUST attract “Influencers” who’s job it is steer people’s thinking away from questioning Govt’s Agenda peddled via MSM and armies of ‘Social’ Media ‘Influencers’.
Anyway, more to the list –
Arky. Spot on. Our local regional rugby comp is full of passion, skill, and it doesn’t cost $160.00 for seat behind the goal posts.
It is amazing how many very classy players exist in top level amateur sport.
Free parking, good volunteer food, friendly crowd and no welcome to country. Why would you bother to watch the Wobbler incils.
Yes zippy
Being over 50 is a ‘comorbity’
The G7 met to debate Afghanistan. The decisions were already made.
G7: a modest force for global good behaviour.
Another scalp for Biden.
Mrs Mangels is sooo altruistic in her desire to bring certain posts to the attention of others.
More bolding and random capitalisation might help.
I wonder with so much time on her hands to helpfully repost comments across multiple sites she isn’t one of these paid social media influencers she pretends to despise?

This is ridiculous. Stop posting the posts of others at Dash Cat. If people want to read them they can go to the site. Clearly you don’t have a day job.
“I wonder with so much time on her hands to helpfully repost comments across multiple sites she isn’t one of these paid social media influencers she pretends to despise?”
Indeed.
““srrsays:”
Or Steve Trickler can come here and post.
Absolutely correct.
As much as skill and physical capabilities, selection for Australian rep teams depends on having ‘connected’ sponsors who can navigate the suffocating world of rugby politics. Perhaps more.
Being in the Wallabies squad certainly doesn’t mean you are the best on park.
Bruce in WA, do you have a link for the Mark Latham statement you posted at 11.19am?
Are the vax rollouts part of a random double-blind?
If they are, and this virus is the most deadliest scrourge and it’s gonna kill us all … is it even ethical to sit back and watch what happens with a placebo?
What if the rollout is NOT part of a random double-blind?
Well, then even more dubious ethics involved.
Lets just stick it everybody and see what happens?
Everyone has to drink the KoolAid or it won’t work. Right?
We need to find out which modeled projections are close to reality.
FMD
I read a study this morning where they took Covid positives and did a random double-blind and used plasma transfusions. Passed an Ethics Committee too.
Of course the transfusions did pretty much zero.
To make such an experiment useful in any sense, they must have implicitly withheld other treatments
What did they do … just sit back a wait for punters to keel over?
We are being lied to.
ML, the latter did incredible harm to the US and the West. But the corporates loved it.

Quite so…Rugby Australia and the Goth aka Raelene Castle, when they weren’t destroying professional rugby with all their inclusiveness and LGBTQISTUVW nonsense, also tried to destroy club rugby. My nephews, who always bought tickets for the Tahs and the Wallabies, now just support their local district team.

===============================================
Which is why I’m as disgusted with the people selling the ‘normalisation’ of these experimental Jabs as I am with those who sell the ‘normalisation’ of ‘Trans’ Children.
Both are sold to the world by the same WHO approved ‘medical experts’ & Media (‘Social ‘& MS), while the front line doctors having to clean up their mess and trying to warn the world of what they’re finding, are being smeared as ‘loopy’ & worse by the armies of MSM & mercenary ‘Influencers’.
Who’s had a vax?
…got a copy of the contract you signed?
care to share ?
BTW, why are some here so VERY ANGRY that some of the public posts made at other Cats, on serious, public issues, are being shared elsewhere, the way sound thinkers & good writers everywhere have their thoughts shared around the world.
I remember when it was a good thing to have your writing shared around the world.
Having strangers approach just to thank you for, “What you wrote in the last issue of …”, another publication that reprinted your work, certainly wasn’t something to become enraged about … unless it was one’s job to prevent that sort of information flowing far & wide.

There was a reason why Sinclair banned you.
Does anyone know the truth about this? If correct it is being kept very quiet!

Rosie:
No.
The only acceptable – to me – decision is to immediately drop all the bullshit lockdowns, resign, and beg for forgiveness.
This whole shameful episode has been all about their egos and arrogance and should not have happened.
We need an investigation with very tough powers and the ability to issue warrants for arrest to the entire State apparatus who have caused untold death from the entirely predictable social disruption they caused and were never subject to.
What has this ridiculous exercise in governmental stupidity cost us $1 trillion? $2 trillion? The loss in wages, lost production, bankrupted businesses, the toll in lives and lost years of education for our kids?
I’m enraged at the stupidity of the pricks.

Oops. These researchers are going to get cancelled before you can say ‘outrageous outrage’.
Study: Merit-based employment practices contribute to gender pay gap (24 Aug)
If merit based employment practices cause inequality maybe we should move to rewarding incompetence. After all it clearly works amazingly well in Parliament and academia.
No, what is ridiculous is you, or anyone thinking it’s your place to tell anyone where they & may or must not share public comments made on public platforms.
I don’t see you telling ‘rosie’ to stop posting what MSM has to say about taking Jabs.
I know, but that’s different, very different, seeing as the people who don’t want anymore brainwashing from the MSM selling belief in The Great Reset, come to open public forums to learn about what the MSM ISN’T telling us.
Just saw this clip from twatter.
Father and son and Spiderman
So many feminist harpies insist that men are not needed in childhood and denigrate the relationship of fathers with their kids, and certainly the law courts are of the same opinion.
Top Ender:
Someone who has been quiet – like most of her colleagues – for the last 18 months.

I used to think a lot of her but the last 20 years have seen her take a decided Lefty view.
Perhaps Our Janet has noticed the wind is shifting?
Outrageously outrageous outrage?
“I don’t see you telling ‘rosie’ to stop posting what MSM has to say about taking Jabs.”
Because Rosie isn’t a nong. This is a place for intelligent people…..clearly you don’t below here.
I’ve had my first vaccination…I respect those who choose not to have the vaccination…for whatever reason. What I hate are QAnon conspiracy mongers spreading lies and misinformation about vaccines….and that includes Mrs Nong…aka ussr….above.
There you go Brislurker, seeing as I’m not a propagandist with a bank of phones & pc’s, sometimes I miss what’s already been shared before I repost it, oh and thanks for the link. Someone with more time than I have is keen to look into it.
ML – Feminists haven’t reached that level yet.
Where are the Feminists? (24 Aug)
There you go: if you put a big black bag over your head you are invisible to feminists.
(That was my thumbs-up, Cassie)
NSW Covid statistics today – 919 new cases, one death. A man in his 80’s who caught Covid-19 at an Aged Care home.
I’m sure Bereshocklian will accent the positive and eliminate the negative.
Although I fear that for her, rising case numbers are a positive for her police state mentality.
Declining death rates and only in the vulnerable cohort is not going to suit her narrative.

I am wondering if the excess fat cells provide a substrate for the virus, or is it just a down-regulation of the immune system?
The gut microbiome will be limited in the obese. My guess is that industrial type food is against the immune system.
“(That was my thumbs-up, Cassie)”
Thanks M.L. Mrs Nong is turning this blog into a full blown QAnon/Alex Jones site.
Oh and at least Alex Jones can be funny…..Mrs Nong is not funny.
The current crop of feminists do not see feminism as a movement to liberate women in 3rd world shit holes, but to enhance the job prospects of feminist professionals.
Actually, they don’t even care about the plight of women in rigidly Islamic families in the Western Suburbs of Sydney. They try fobbing it off with ‘respect for culture’.
I suspect that if they were to imagine themselves trapped in a family where they were told their lot was to serve men, to marry who she is told, to bow and scrape and take the occasional slap-around, and to pop out sprogs like a Pez dispenser, that they would immediately envisage themselves heroically rebelling and breaking free as her familial oppressors can but look on dumbfounded.
“”The current crop of feminists do not see feminism as a movement to liberate women in 3rd world shit holes, but to enhance the job prospects of feminist professionals.”
Indeed….I once had an argument with a well known “feminist” about eight years ago…..she was presenting a talk about “corporate glass ceilings” so I stood up and asked her if she cared at all about women doing lowly paid work such as cleaning and so on, who spend hours every day commuting on trains from Sydney’s western and south-western suburbs….women who, if they had the choice, would probably prefer to stay at home. She didn’t like the question and she quickly fobbed me off.
“Our Bill never misses an opportunity. He makes a shithouse rat look like a naive and trusting three year old.”
Just remember that Bill and Chloe would still have the curtain measurements for the Lodge.

That quote is lifted from Mark Latham’s Facebook page:
https://www.facebook.com/MarkLathamsOutsiders
The more I think about it the more it looks like the pay-ops by the Chinese government, the WHO, the DC Deep State including the evil dwarf Fauci. The aim was to create a crisis, muddy the waters, unbalance the voters and get rid of Trump who was an existential threat to all of them.
Why else outlaw effective treatments and not look for new treatments? Nothing was said what treatments were used at all, just the use of ventilators? Could it have been that they needed high death statistics?
Why did it take almost eighteen months to start experimenting with new or alternative treatments? Could it be that things are getting politically out of control? Could it be that the medical profession have suddenly realised how much trust and respect they lost?
Hello Cassie. I wanted to congratulate you on your (I presume) AZ vaccination.
MT:
BMJ editor’s thoughts on the FDA Biontech vaccine approval.
I posted this on Steve Kates’ two sides to the vaxxination story thread.
All the controls in all the vaccine trials were unmasked in February 2021 and almost all have subsequently been vaccinated.
We just keep following “The Science” TM back to the dark ages.
The Enlightenment is past history.
And sfb is Mr Nong.
Sinclair smited both Mr Nong and Mrs Nong……wise.
It still registers as a bit of a shock that I like Latho.
Couldn’t stand him when he was running for PM. I relished the schadenfreude when he appeared to have a bit of a meltdown afterward, especially as he discovered that all his erstwhile spruikers and supporters tossed him aside like an old greasy sandwich on election day +1.
But something happened. A metamorphosis? A road to Damascus moment? An evolutionary leap? Maybe a bit of, “Sod you guys. It’s on now!” But he showing up all the frauds and spivs, and we are lucky to have him.
Have Gladys and Kerry Chahnt (not a typo, that’s how Gladys pronounces it) thought it through about hairdressers only being able to see vaccinated clients and only if they are also vaccinated?
My hairdresser is pregnant so she will be prevented from earning a living. That is discrimination on the basis of pregnancy.
Children are not vaccinated, so does that mean they cannot be taken to salons for haircuts? Discrimination based on age.
Pregnancy and children do not figure in Gladys’s world so easy to see how these problems do not occur to her.
Thanks, Bruce in WA. I’ve just put myself on Mark Latham’s mailing list.
“But something happened. A metamorphosis? A road to Damascus moment? An evolutionary leap? Maybe a bit of, “Sod you guys. It’s on now!” But he showing up all the frauds and spivs, and we are lucky to have him.”
That’s how I think too…he’s not perfect but he’s a lot more perfect than any other politician here in NSW.
I see the ABC are now instructing millennials on how to treat their tax hesitant parents like idiots.
You do realise don’t you, that in response to a valid & timely question, you just, ‘stomped your foot’, like a spoiled, little fat ‘princess’ who’s Daddy always lets her have whatever she wants, but her Daddy isn’t here anymore.
Someone posted a link to this either here or on the other Cat, sorry can’t remember who.
From Sept 11, 2020.
So the ‘authorities’ have known about this, from a reputable source, for 12 months, yet never mentioned it once.
My God, what a crime!
Damn autocorrect. Should be VAX not tax (although that may also be valid).
Link also appears to be missing

Well Winnie
I agree but we all know that is not going to happen.
Nor are ordinary Australians going to indulge in the most modest of civil disobedience on a large scale.
I was speaking to a young medical professional today (who mentioned btb that both he and his father had their first jabs on Monday, his pfizer and his dad the AZ) who said his friend in the biz told him that if Mrs Mangles types rang and complained about children in playground, youth at skate parks etc they answered the call without lights and sirens and hopefully when they arrived ‘no one was there’
“You do realise don’t you, that in response to a valid & timely question, you just, ‘stomped your foot’, like a spoiled, little fat ‘princess’ who’s Daddy always lets her have whatever she wants, but her Daddy isn’t here anymore.”
I’m not fat and my “daddy” is alive and well.
You really are a nong.
When Trump sought to cut the cost of pharmaceuticals in the US I remember thinking , whoa- this is going to cause a stir. Never thinking to the extent that it has. That was around the time Big Pharma joined the Get Trump club.
Big Pharma then heavily backed Biden;
21 Oct, 2020.
Professor Borody made those comments to the media on 15 August 2020.
Yet there has been zero follow up or proper trials to confirm his initial views.
What happened?
I’m all for cheap prophylactic treatments but its been over a year of silence.
Even Craig Kelly says there’s a place for vaccines and a place for treatments like Ivermectin.
The objection of course is because the reposting treats readers like idiots who need to be led by the nose by the gnostic all knowing pizza lover.
I think he is the remnants of a left that actually gave a shit about the working class. The current left is the party of bugmen and elites. Intersectionalism is a form of voluntary psychosis. The only thing the left have to offer ordinary folk is contempt and derision.
Goin’ ter the Big Smoke this weekend.
I have currently growing in the yard
Oranges – Navel and Valencia,
Mandarin,
Blackberries,
Lemons.
Two apple trees in pots but ready to go into the ground. Didn’t get around to pruning to shape them this winter. Got 6 apples last year – birds got 5 of them. Lots of buds that are looking like they will fruit up.
Any other food trees I should plant, still have about ten meters of fence spare.
Probably chuck in a passionfruit vine.
No bloody apricot trees, Arky. I saw the problems you inflicted on yourself a couple of years ago in The Great Apricot Disaster of 2019.
“I think he is the remnants of a left that actually gave a shit about the working class. The current left is the party of bugmen and elites. Intersectionalism is a form of voluntary psychosis. The only thing the left have to offer ordinary folk is contempt and derision.”
Correct…which is why Latham joined PHON. He’s old Labor…he isn’t a progressive and he’s seen what progressivism has done and is doing to the working class.
Raspberry canes and a mulberry Winston.
And cherries
If the climate is right.
Prefer things that don’t end up cheap as chips when yours are ripe.
My son was watching a short video
“I’ve spent $140 on supplies watered every day and in four ti six weeks should get a 25c fruit”.
rickw:
It’s a Stupid Agenda = OK, I’ll settle for that.
It’s also a Mass Psychosis.
I’m actually really angry about this. I hope no one asks me for reason I’m not wearing a mask because all the rage and frustration I’ve been accruing over the last 18 months is going to leap out and jump on their stupid bloody heads.
OK – “Why aren’t I wearing a mask?”
Now that’d be a good conversation starter.
Further to this, I posted a comment at the Australian, drawing attention to this quoting bits of and linking to their own article.
Here is my comment, which they rejected.
