Indeed.
My fil was travelling on a flight out of Florida, which was delayed on takeoff after leaving the gate. The woman sitting next to him became agitated by the delay – and it turned out that she had injected insulin before boarding, in anticipation of the (now delayed) drinkies and an airplane dinner. She suddenly became unconscious.
The plane was stuck in the takeoff queue – but luckily there was a doctor on board who, hearing that she was diabetic, diagnosed hyper rather than hypo, and promptly gave her an insulin injection.
Which killed her on the spot.
Fil scored an all-expenses-paid return trip to give evidence at the malpractice hearing.

Effective from 10 September 2021
New information
Myocarditis and Pericarditis following mRNA COVID-19 vaccination
Myocarditis and/or pericarditis have been reported as rare side effects after mRNA COVID-19
vaccines, including Comirnaty (Pfizer) and Spikevax (Moderna). These reports have been
characterised by:
• a predominance of males under 30 years of age
• more commonly following the second dose
• typically occurring within 1-5 days of vaccination
• resulting in mostly mild illness, which responds well to standard treatment.
Data from the United States has found the reported incidence in males aged 12-29 years was
40.6 cases per million second doses of an mRNA COVID-19 vaccine, and in females aged 12-29
years was 4.2 cases per million. The rate in males aged 30 years or older was 2.4 cases per
million second doses, and in females of the same age was 1.0 case per million second doses.
People who develop myocarditis or pericarditis attributed to their first dose of an
mRNA COVID-19 vaccine are advised to defer further doses and to discuss this with
their treating doctor.

Australia Bans Ivermectin

That’s one of the issues I have with conspiracy theories about events in our lifetimes.
They forget that millions of people saw the events via the media as they unfolded, and in the case of 9/11 tens of thousands live, as it happened.

But hotel quarantine is not one of his.
Transmission at schools and early childhood education and care (ECEC) services is occurring at a rate five times higher than 2020, new research from the National Centre for Immunisation Research and Surveillance (NCIRS) suggests.
The study, which analysed the spread and severity of COVID-19 cases among children from the start of the recent large-scale outbreak in Sydney, revealed there had been a secondary attack rate of 4.7% at school and childcare sites between 16 June and 31 July, compared to 0.9% last year.
However, it also showed that the vast majority of children (98%) had asymptomatic or mild cases of COVID-19 and reaffirmed that they are significantly less likely to pass on the SARS-CoV-2 virus than adults.
The parallels between the last few years and the late 1930s is striking.

Thanks Matrix, that burning platform article is excellent.
The good doctor might be onto something here.
Im sort of the same opinion for a while now.
Each currency has a ‘gentlemen’s agreement” they wont debase themselves at too fast a rate vs the USD so as to maintain a veneer of respectability.
Now US policy appears to be “money machine go brrrrrr” Im not sure how that will play out.
https://www.takimag.com/article/mutually-assured-rottenness/
The American dollar seems increasingly fraudulent, maintaining any value at all only by the fact that all other currencies are similarly fraudulent. In the days of the nuclear standoff between the United States and the Soviet Union, there was a doctrine called Mutually Assured Destruction (MAD). Either of the rivals would assure its own destruction if it attacked the other, therefore it did not attack the other, however inflamed the rhetoric. When it comes to major currencies, there is an implicit doctrine of Mutually Assured Rottenness. Each is as bad, or very nearly, as the other, so that there can be no flight into real value. Even gold is not safe, at least for private individuals: In 1933, President Roosevelt in effect confiscated gold from private citizens who “hoarded” it, and though the prohibition of holding gold was repealed (41 years later), there is no reason why the confiscation could not be repeated if governments deemed it necessary.
If for some reason the Mutually Assured Rottenness of currencies no longer held up (and confidence can be lost overnight), chaos would ensue not only for the United States but for the world. The former would lose its capacity to maintain both its deficits and its standard of living; the latter would lose a major part of its commerce, to say nothing of its agreed method of settling payments.
I’m not convinced being ‘middle class’ is so very attractive these days Winston.

2JJ. I remember the first song they played. Chris Winter was the DJ.
Looking here there have been about 122,000 cases in Oz of covid so far.
The age group LEAST likely to die is everyone under the age of 50.
So far 22 people under the age of 50 have died.
22 / 122000 x 100 = 0.0180327868852459 % death rate.
or to be charitable 0.02% chance of death for the under 50s.
In actual fact its far less than that as the bulk of infections (roughly equal to ALL infections in the over 50 age groups) are in the 20-29 age bracket.
Can someone check my math and see if Im missing something?
Thanks, B of N. Yes, in a brutal iron-age warrior society women may have taken up swords, though that is not proven, and more importantly, they may have also represented warrior lineages, acting as usual as figureheads rather than frontline warriors in a shield-wall. The mounds at Uppsala contained females of high status, with regalia as well as female things like spindles. Being a figurehead seems definitely to have been the role of Britain’s Boudicca, for her name simply means Victory. She has no grave and I suspect she may have been apocryphal, or certainly not at the vanguard of battle.
Spartan women of the Bronze Age we known told their sons to come back home with their shield or upon it.

So fucking over this. I remember having a conversation with an (ex) queer ‘friend’; I asked him why they were bothering with SSM since defacto relationships which included queer relationships had the same legal status as normal relationships and why didn’t queers just create a new name for their relationships to reflect their flamboyant natures compared to the staid nature of normal marriages. He said it wasn’t about equality but revenge and ownership, appropriation, of the institutions of normality which had persecuted them. And of course that has been proved as queers and the alphabet people attack normal values in education, gender and children.
And what the fuck have our conservative politicians done about it; Tony Abbott is the best of them and he has done nothing except stiff upper lip and make fine speeches ignored by the media.
mole
The Summary records a Total of 69,911 cases, not 122,000?
Diminish the goal of vaxxing – bultish!
I was wondering why there was such a one sided almost maniacal push to vaccinate- when someone pointed out that if there is an effective treatment (or alternative) then Pfizer; Moderna, J&J and Astra lose their emergency authorisation. And all their stockpiles are junk.
They know this day is coming and when finally NovaVax or similar get a normal FDA / TGA … they are Gorne!
Winston, while you’re here.
A few weeks ago I told Cats about my poor old Dad and how his health had deteriorated rapidly following his inoculation with the “vaccine”.
Aches and pains, then usual stuff that everyone reported. Then…gout, but not in his feet – a new site in his knees. Agony. Then his Grovers disease flared up so badly that he was basically one big rash, head to toe. Then a new horror, just diagnosed. Bullous pemphigoid. On his feet.
Being a horrible, suspicious person, I typed in bp covid vaccine and there it is – the bloody vaccine triggered this rare auto-immune condition that will take years to recover from. At 90, he will probably die with it, or sepsis from the wounds. The vaccine has destroyed his quality of life.
Cronkite
I don’t feel you’re supportive and celebratory enough of our LGBTQ people.
Thanks BJ, Ive doubled up the numbers by accidentally adding the total to the state by state…
so its 22/ 69911 x 100 = 0.0314685814821702% chance of death…
Much fear.
Wow.
SHUT IT DOWN!!!
Not quite, you know this, but don’t let get that in the way of the narrative.
Lizzie – I don’t know the story of that Viking lady well, but my opinion is such ladies were indeed leaders, either overtly or behind the scenes. And we know if a leader gives success they are honoured vigorously. I would not therefore think it unusual if a competent lady leader be honoured as a warrior-leader even if in practice that wasn’t what she was doing day-to-day.
Out of curiosity I had a look just now at the sculpture of Elizabeth I on her coffin. She looks more like she is carrying a sword than a sceptre. I think it is an innate after-death response of their people to regard a defender as a warrior.
Can someone check my math and see if Im missing something?
I don’t think the Australian stats are large enough to form a proper opinion. My impression is that – in terms of mortality risk- certainly, age at the upper end of the scale is very important. However, as you reach down into the younger groups the one factor that stands out are land whales. Land whales are at a significantly higher risk of death. Dunno why, but they seem to be. I’d bet the 100 plus odd currently in ICU in Australia are obese lardballs.
Here’s my thinking… vaccination is a must for land whales… that’s if they don’t want to suffer the risk of death from the Chinese bio-weapon.
How much wreckage does this thing have to leave in its wake before it’s stopped? How many lives completely and utterly ruined? Who gave these disgusting politicians permission to destroy us?
The AZ put my healthy daughter in hospital with reactive arthritis. Now it turns out my father has had his immune system broken. Yet the b*stards are threatening me with house arrest because I don’t want their filthy concoction on moral grounds.
Thank you Government for protecting my family.
tragic
Next these animals will come for my 12 year old grandson.
There is every possibility that there is some genetic predisposition to react to AZ. First dad, then my daughter. Bypassed my brother. The rest of the family have had the Pfizer, though it has been responsible for the exact same autoimmune response in some patients in the States.
It’s just a nightmare, given the obviously feeble lethality of the disease itself.
Calli, that is very unwelcome news.
Hope there is a quick recovery. Bound to be, with your support.
JC – Unfortunately for them the vaccine doesn’t seem to work very well.
As I linked yesterday – it was announced there were 9 deaths in NSW, 3 fully vaccinated, 3 with one dose and 3 unvaccinated. At the time they caught the infection the population spread would have been very close to 33% each for 2 doses, 1 dose and unvaccinated.
It really doesn’t seem to be that great, at least not for Delta. I suspect most of the reduction in death rate is actually due to therapeutic treatment upon admission to hospital – where we don’t see any details about what methods are used. But they certainly will have improved in the last year.
Rex Anger:
I most respectfully disagree with the upskilling part*.
At the start of hostilities, one thing we need to preserve is the integrity of the infantry units and immediately hiving off parts for a different role (unless the responsibility is within the parent organisations area of ops.) doesn’t help.
Your suggestion of a second Commando Regiment is better. Much better. But it needs to be a Corps Level asset, already equipped and trained to act independently against Corps level targets, otherwise it will get frittered away against inappropriate goals.
Of course I could just be taking out of my arse – happy to be corrected.
I share that.
The Australian Covid response is to an extent clearly linked to external drivers and third parties.
However I can more easily find an explanation for the bizarre, disturbing and frankly fucked up developments by looking through the prism of personal ambition and shitty retail politics than from the Grand Reset/New World Order models.
The idea that Gates /Soros/Schwab have somehow successfully mind-melded with our state and federal
scum‘leaders’ – and seamlessly carried out a fiendish plan to subjugate a Western nation – is up there with the controlled demolition of the Twin Towers.In real life George Soros would long ago have dumped Palacechook and Goblin Young into a tank of piranhas.
State of Tyranny extended yesterday in Best Austfailure.
Not reported anywhere to my knowledge.

One page and a signature to lock down an entire state.
https://www.wa.gov.au/sites/default/files/2021-09/Extension-of-State-of-Emergency-10-September-to-24-September.pdf
(5) Each extension, or further extension, of the duration of a public
health state of emergency declaration cannot exceed 14 days,
but there is no limit on the number of extensions as long as
subsection (2) is complied with.
Yet heres the WHOs official tallies.
Cases: 223 022 538
Deaths: 4 602 882
So take 4 602 882/ 223 022 538 x 100 = 2.063864056645253%
Roughly a 2% global death rate.
However if you look at India something funky is going on.
What is being done differently or is it just a case of not as many land whales and younger population??
India is about 1.3%
Whats more they seem to have only had one big wave of infections whereas the rest of the world has had 2…
So Biden has taken to killing the people the Taliban want to kill.
And what is this ISIS-K nonsense?
They had to invent a shadowy illusive organisation called ISIS-K to whom they can attribute the Taliban’s murderous excesses to keep up the charade that the Taliban are ‘respectable’.
No one had even heard of ISIS-K until Biden’s withdrawal went to shit.
And the name? Corn Pop sounds like a breakfast cereal. So does ISIS-K. Wait for Biden to start talking about a splinter group Beirut-Loops when he is sucking up to Hezbollah. Or Taiwanese nationalists called Rice-Crispies when fulfilling obligations to the Chinese.
Brucie, I’d really hope this stat is due to the fact that the count is far too small to reach a conclusion, otherwise 1/3 of the dead were fully vaxxed is pretty concerning.
And yes, therapeutics seem to be working these days,
Both here and in the UK, Diabetes is the co-morbidity of choice for Covid-19.
I’d say there is a close correlation between Land Whales and Diabetes, one that could possibly overcome the advantages of youth.

Me too JC, but I was struck by the statistics. Coincidence? Given the Israeli data on Delta I lean towards it not being coincidence.
I have never seen governmental people go so completely nuts like this before, not even the climate Chicken Littles.
I swear I typed in ‘elusive’, not ‘illusive’.
I reckon it’s a prelude to the shit they would try on over gerbil warming
Roughly a 2% global death rate.
2% of KNOWN infections.
The actual infections are way higher as shown by surveys in the UK and USA where some territories showed anti-body detection of over 90%.
Testing not being done in Australia as far as I can tell.

Stew Peters interviews Matthew Hopkins who filed the law suit against mandatory vaccination in the Supreme Court of NSW to be heard at the end of the month.
The basis is the constitution and also proportionality. Interestingly, he mentions the cycles on the test used on which the whole lockdown agenda is based, which, at over 40, are far beyond any possibility of accuracy, as acknowledged even by Fauci. This is similar to the argument used by Reiner Fuellmich in his class action.

Public Health Act 2016
Part 12 Public health emergencies
Division 4 Authorisation to exercise emergency powers
s. 174
173. Limitation of stay of operation of public health state of
emergency declaration
(1) In any proceedings for judicial review or in any other
proceedings, a court or tribunal is not authorised to make an
interlocutory order that has the effect of staying the operation of
a public health state of emergency declaration.
(2) This section does not limit judicial review for jurisdictional
error.
…
Its not a scarily broad and limitless power unchecked by the normal systems of government.
An “emergency officer” is effectively anyone they want it to be…
182. Powers to control or use premises or property
(1) For emergency management purposes, an emergency officer
may take control of, or make use of, any premises or property.
(2) The premises or property may be in, or outside, the emergency
area.
(3) For the purpose of exercising a power under this section, an
emergency officer may do all or any of these —
(a) enter or, if necessary, break into and enter, any
premises;
(b) search any premises and anything found in or on the
premises;
(c) open a container or other thing in the premises;
(d) seize anything found in or on the premises, or any other
property;
(e) direct the owner or occupier or the person apparently in
charge of the premises or, as the case requires, the
person apparently in charge of the property, to give the
emergency officer reasonable assistance to exercise the
emergency officer’s powers under this section.
…
Built into it is a provision for forced medical treatments/vaccination..
185. Enforcement of requirement to undergo medical
observation or medical or other procedure
(1) If an emergency officer gives a direction to a person under
section 184(1)(c) to undergo medical observation, medical
examination or medical treatment or to be vaccinated, an
emergency officer or police officer may use reasonable force to
ensure that the direction is complied with, including, if
necessary —
(a) to apprehend and detain the person to whom the
direction applies (the relevant person) and take the
relevant person to a place where the person is required
to undergo medical observation, medical examination or
medical treatment or to be vaccinated in accordance
with the direction; and
(b) to detain the relevant person at the place where he or she
is required to undergo medical observation, medical
examination or medical treatment or to be vaccinated in
accordance with the direction; and
(c) to restrain the relevant person —
(i) to enable a medical observation, medical
examination or medical treatment to be carried
out; or
(ii) to enable the relevant person to be vaccinated;
and
(d) to remove anything (including underwear) that the
relevant person is wearing, if —
(i) the removal of the thing is reasonably necessary
to enable a medical examination or medical
treatment to be carried out or, as the case
requires, to enable the person to be vaccinated;
and
(ii) the relevant person is given a reasonable
opportunity to remove the thing himself or
herself, and refuses or fails to do so.
….
I wouldnt mind betting this isnt being adhered to.
191. Further provisions relating to power to detain under
section 185(1) or 190(1)(o)
(1) Before an emergency officer or police officer detains a person
under section 185(1) or 190(1)(o), the emergency officer or
police officer must briefly explain, in language likely to be
readily understood by the person —
(a) the reason why it is necessary to detain the person; and
(b) that the person is entitled to obtain legal advice and to
communicate with a lawyer; and
(c) that the person has a right under section 194 to apply to
the State Administrative Tribunal for a review of the
decision to detain the person.
…
192. Review of detention
(1) If a person is detained under section 185(1) or 190(1)(o) —
(a) the Chief Health Officer must review the person’s
detention at intervals not greater than 24 hours to
determine whether the detention of the person continues
to be required; and
(b) the person is entitled to obtain legal advice and to
communicate with a lawyer
Would be fun to lodge a FOI or 2 to se how many peoples detentions are being “reviwed” every 24 hours in 2 week lockdowns…
This legislation is a horrorshow.
You can see it meant for absolute crisis implementation not 2 years of rolling flu.

(5) Despite subsection (2), the Minister may accept a person’s
application for compensation made more than 90 days after the

So all those lovely folk with severe COPD, anything promoting bronchiectasis, lung bacterial infections (which are almost impossible to shift) and so forth are still very liable to having a viral or bacterial insult rapidly turn into a serious pneumonia.
Then add in hayfever and asthma seasons as an additional aggravating factor. Also consider you have some form of heart failure or hypertension as an additional inbuilt comorbidity.
Somehow, Nosferaflu is such a super-duperbug that all these factors seem to miraculously disappear from all health record accountings.

Sorry I’m late to reply Rosie (behind on Flash Çat, but catching up). Anyway, I happened to get a call from the NBN the other day any and they didn’t hide their number. The nice Indian chap pointed out our NBN wasn’t performing properly (I hadn’t noticed) and he could fix it by getting me to access settings on my computer. Unfortunately, when I told him my computer wasn’t handy, he got upset and hung up on me. Strange.
Anyhow, would you like the number?

I don’t get the visual statement being made and it’s not infrequent to see a monstrous batch of lard wobbling along showing off her “attributes” in a tank top, short shorts displaying the rim of the arse and with legs and arms covered in revolting tattooes. Somehow the lard-mass must know it’s unattractive, surely. Is it an anti-beauty statement then?

Perhaps in their delusions they think that large tattoos make them interesting. Perhaps it is because people are no so bereft of conversational skills that they need visual cues to start a conversation.

No, Jennifer Spilsbury, you did not get the jab to protect others. That’s a myth hatched by health bureaucrats. The vaccine doesn’t stop you catching, spreading or dying of covid. If it protects anyone to any degree it only protects you – nobody else. You got the jab to try to comply your way out of government tyranny. At best you are a useful idiot. At worst you’re a traitor to the ANZAC tradition and a genuine menace to society. Why won’t you be honest about the irrefutable fact that covid can be easily cured by well-known drugs? Higgs Tolga

A new, published, peer-reviewed, real-time clinical study from Nigeria has shown ivermectin-antibiotic-zinc-vitamin C cocktails cure covid in three days. The zinc does the covid killing.

Tony Abbott lashes “dobber” after copping mask fine
Tony Abbott has been fined $500 for breaking a Covid-19 rule, with the former PM blasting whoever dobbed him into police.
Tony Abbott has lashed out at the culture of “dobbing” after copping a $500 fine for breaching Covid regulations.
Mr Abbott told reporters on Saturday that he would not challenge the penalty because he did not want to waste police resources.
But the former prime minister is not impressed with whoever snitched on him.
Mr Abbott was slapped with the fine by police after pictures emerged of the former member for Warringah not wearing a mask at Sydney’s Manly beach earlier in the week.
Police said Mr Abbott failed to comply with directions to wear a face covering at Fairy Bower on Wednesday morning.
Speaking to reporters on Saturday, Mr Abbott defended his actions.
“I just want to say two things. First, I believe that I was well within the law, reasonably interpreted,” he said.
“But I am not going to challenge the fine because I am not going to waste police time.
“Second, I never thought dobbing and snitching was part of the Australian character.
“I think as soon as we can leave this health police state mindset behind us, the better for everyone.”
According to the NSW public health order, all residents are required to wear a mask while outdoors unless engaging in physical exercise.
The picture captured Mr Abbott in jeans and a jumper chatting with a friend.
NSW Health Minister Brad Hazzard showed little sympathy when asked about the incident.
“It does not matter who you are, whatever station you have in life, there are orders,” Mr Hazzard said.
“Nobody likes to have these orders but it is to keep everybody safe and I hope people will comply with the orders.”
Health Hazzard probably doesn’t know what exercise is.
Unpleasant.
But all the actual significance of Shouty McPisstrousers, lying on the pavement and screaming at the Fruity Lexia Dragon.

Nice location; the beach looks a bit wild and it probably snows. That roof gave me a head-ache. Sloping wooden tiles. FMD. All in all a good set for the next Hobbit movie.
Nose bleeds.
That’s a sign you’ve developed antibodies.
Bleeding out the arse means you have very high levels of antibodies.
Cold in the mortuary fridge confirms you’re totally resistant to Covid.
Honestly, I never liked the Atlantic -especially that high up in latitude. The water is always grey and murky. Also the waves crash right onto the beach. Of course it snows there, you idiot.
Surely, you’re not peddling the idea that gerbil warming means it never snows in NY again.
Duncan – That actually isn’t good. It’s Spring. I get that because after flu infections years ago I became allergic to pollen. Which causes my nasal tissues to become sensitive and swollen, leading to the bleeding issue.
Keep an eye on it, and perhaps see your GP for antihistamines and anti-inflammatories. It may be a sign you are getting immune system sensitivity as it tries to find the baddie and kill it. Unfortunately pollen, spores and etc can become triggers if they’re around at the same time as its doing so, like now. The things to really watch out for are autoimmune responses, if your system decides to latch onto cells in your body.
It doesn’t snow here head prefect; and look what you get for 2.7 mill:

Rang my now ex-copper mate, hes riding out his last couple of months on leave.
His final straw (of many)
He had a child exploitation case referred to him, he investigated, secured statements, built up the case (including being sent copies of the material) and it resulted in a successful prosecution.
However the person who committed the offences lodged a complaint against him (presumably because he didnt announce he was a cop when he had the material sent to him) and he was fined 2 weeks pay..
And for a change the person producing the material was the kids mother.
So I sent him this happy story to cheer him up.
She is already unattractive to the majority of the population. Now she is making herself attractive to that small sub set who revel in being very different.

A group of Queensland police is planning to mount a legal challenge to Commissioner Katarina Carroll’s vaccination mandate for all staff and officers.
The page comes after the Queensland Police Commissioner last week issued a deadline to all officers and staff to be fully vaccinated by early next year.
so how have the top cops reacted to people pursuing legal and proper channels to see if the directive is lawful??
The sources told the ABC, Commissioner Carroll was aware of the page and was investigating the fundraising activities, and the officers who have contributed money, for potential police misconduct.The possible misconduct relates to misappropriating police imagery and publicly challenging a lawful direction from the Police Commissioner.
How spastic is the governments reasoning??
“It is important the Queensland community has confidence and feel safe when interacting with their police.”
Because vaccinated people cant pass…..oh wait….

Bluddee hell – a tale of a dinobore and a young woman, on the Northern Beaches … 🙂
Back when life was normal and we were enjoying existing on a calm continent.
Transferred from a deceased Frederick cos it wasn’t getting me any attention (a bit incomplete though):
Case Study.
A 70-something woman at my gym told me (and later others) quite proudly today that she had dobbed in the grandson of her elderly next door neighbour for not doing home quarantine after returning from a trip to Victoriastan (home is the Sunshine Coast). The grandson lives in his grandmother’s house next door, that is. As a result, the police turned up after staking out the house for two days, and just-short-of-dragged the bloke away into mandatory hotel quarantine for 14 days.
I don’t know the bloke or his grandmother; he may or may not be a bastard, I have no idea. There seems to be no evidence thus far that this bloke has Covid-19 either (though his chances of catching it in hotel quarantine have now increased).
What impressed me was the demeanour of my informant, who was absolutely convinced of the righteousness of her action in officially denouncing him. She is retired and thus not dependent on employment, and doesn’t seem to have a hobby (except for verbally sedating people at the gym). Roughly every second day, she asks me if I have been vaccinated yet. I respond with a sharp ‘No’ and provide no justification. Her response is always to jokingly question my masculinity: ‘Afraid of a small needle are you?’ Hardy-har.
I tolerate her because the young female gym manager seems to like her, and being a very slow learner who cannot read people, and possessing decades of unrealistic expectations in terms of the opposite sex, I want to remain on the manager’s ‘good side’ (which is actually the front).
Back to my proud informant. Having not endured any direct damage as a result of the elite’s mismanagement of the past 18 months, and being a firm believer in and transmitter of, whatever the mesozoic media dribbles daily, she is taking the opportunity to inflate her self-worth by assuming the role of ‘block warden.’
When we consider the propaganda efforts of the past 18 months, it is important to realise that a blanket approach will not work with everyone, so a different message must be sent to every subset of the target audience. ‘Help us to control the uncontrollables by becoming a safety monitor (block warden, etc), and know that by doing so, you are a valuable person.’
Look at what you made me do.

He’s sitting at the desk pondering the latest inflation figures and M2 growth like any other central bank head.
He’s probably wondering how to get the economy, such as it was, moving again. Prior to the NATO invasion, Afghanistan lived on its opium / heroin exports to Europe. That market probably no longer exists, I suppose all the Euro addicts would now all be hooked on Chinese fentanyl.

Gez, that first one interests me because it’s about the same as today’s Victorian figure.
How far into NSW’s lockdown was 17 August?
Melbourne is at about day 38 of the current one.
If Victoria’s trajectory is similar to NSW’s, that would seem to contradict the approved narrative that Gladys trying to manage things with limited restrictions has caused the current state of things in NSW, while Maximum Leader’s swift imposition of totalitarianism was a masterstroke of public health administration.
Given the population difference you’d expect NSW to get to 450 slightly before Vic, and of course we should really measure from the start of the outbreak, not the start of the lockdown, but some sort of comparison would be interesting.

“New domestic violence charges for former Channel 7 host Andrew O’Keefe
Police have charged TV host Andrew O’Keefe with new domestic violence offences following an alleged incident involving a woman at a home on Wednesday night.
Former Channel 7 host Andrew O’Keefe is facing fresh domestic violence allegations after being arrested on Friday night.
The 49-year-old was arrested at a Sydney apartment following an alleged domestic-related incident with a woman at a home in Point Piper on Wednesday evening. two days earlier.
“Police will allege in court that a man was involved in a domestic-related incident with a woman at a home in Point Piper on the evening of Wednesday, September 8,” police said in a statement.
O’Keefe was charged with assault occasioning actual bodily harm, common assault, contravene AVO, and resist officer in execution of duty.
He was granted bail in Parramatta Bail Court on Saturday after a night in the watch house, and will return to court this week.
“I spent a night in hospital, I spent a night in jail, despite an agreement with police that would not happen,” O’Keefe told Channel 10 as he left court.
“There is a dispute about facts, a significant dispute about the facts (of what happened on Wednesday).”
O’Keefe said he was “caught by surprise” on Saturday morning when told of the charges against him.
The allegations come after the former Deal or No Deal host had earlier domestic violence charges dismissed by a court on mental health grounds.
O’Keefe, who was also co-founder of domestic violence charity White Ribbon, was accused of hitting, kicking and spitting at his doctor girlfriend Orly Lavee in two incidents in January.
The charges were dismissed in June after the court heard O’Keefe struggled with bipolar disorder and substance abuse, and was in a hyper-manic state at the time of the alleged assaults.
O’Keefe left Channel 7 after the allegations surfaced.”

So the excuse is that when his “mental health” problems kick in they make it impossible to exercise any self control and therefore he shouldn’t be blamed for smashing up someone.
Funny how the “mental health” problems of blokes like this rarely seem to cause them to lose their shit with a 14 stone male martial arts expert.
Then sell off some of your favourite properties, Squire. You know you want to. 🙁
I don’t find it impossible. A kid in this day and age with some cadet credentials, clearly with some drive and not dumb, could be taken on as a rookie and taught things. This happened to me. I wasn’t a cadet in anything but a mere typist at the time (personable in looks and on the phone so useful for client contact), I could look at a written piece and say immediately that I could do better, offer better creative, and then do it. So I got made into a copywriter. In those uncredentialled days it could happen (refer to Peggy in Mad Men). I got an office of my own and three times the salary I was on. They also fired the alcoholic bloke who was doing the job before me (I didn’t find out till I opened his desk pull out and found the alcoholic’s prayer). I was nineteen years old but put my age up two years to twenty-one. At twenty I decided to get educated, enrolled in the day matric, and by the end of that year was admitted to Medicine at the University of Sydney. No science or maths, so didn’t continue in it, switched to Arts plus Zoology, but you could enrol without phys/chem/maths back in the early 60’s.
So this lass’s story could hold up, all you doubters. Plus it is so much easier for a young woman to get ahead these days than it was for us, which would make her diabetes simply a matter of special exemptions etc for exams and free medical treatment too. And no problems with getting living allowances etc. Big Sis has type 1 diabetes, but it didn’t hold her back from doing the Day Matric, like me, no Austudy for us, then getting a Com Scholarship, and she did maths and science so also enrolled in Medicine at SU. No special exemptions for her and she still topped the State in two subjects, beating my positioning and ending up with First Class Honours in Medicine. She’s only 18 months older than me. She also was by that time a single mum with a small child.
I am calling it for bright young women from ‘difficult’ backgrounds. It’s character building.
Hairy, btw, who has lectured in Computer Science at universities on cyber security, says a bright kid could easily be taught the basics of it and become useful, and we are not told what field of CS she was employed in. I’d suggest her interest in that job might have made her think that doing Medicine, like her boyfriend’s dad, could have been a good aim. Role models of various sorts as often tremendously important. A grisly-haired ex-journo copy chief was my very stern red-pencil mentor and he both encouraged me and taught me a lot.
Oh noes, not the anti brutalism shtick again. 🙂

Thanks Gez.
So despite Gladys delaying the full totalitarianism to try to manage the outbreak less intrusively, and Maximum Leader going full scale oppression virtually instantly, it took NSW (with a higher population) about twice as long as Victoria to get to 450 cases a day.
Almost seems like viruses don’t pay much attention to government edicts.
(Where’s Terry Pedersen? Surely he’s going to explain how this really proves that Maximum Leader was right and Gladys was wrong.]
Nah, that’s bullshit, Sneakers.
I put ‘way too many 20c pieces into pinball machines. Sometimes you could get in the zone, which is an amazing feeling.

Late today after the heat subsided somewhat, we went for a walk past two local harbour beaches. People everywhere, and as it was approaching sunset, the shrieks of kids in the air and a very joyful feeling around and about, the glasses came out and the party started. Everyone there in the exercise chairs they had thoughtfully brought along with the esky of the good stuff. The place was packed. Saw a couple of guys saying goodbye in a group of young adults, brotherly shoulder hugs, girls also hugging. Minimal social distancing and not one mask worn, except when mandatory at the kiosk, which was still open and doing good business.
There is a true groundswell of opposition to lockdown.

But Casuarina’s beach is too iffy, cohenite.
Yeah, a few shark attacks and a couple of recent deaths. But I like the board-walk, there’s some nice restaurants, or used to be before the chunk virus and the new world order surfaced; and the beach is nice to look at. Plus nearly every house in that area is an architectural masterpiece; look at this one:

Good stuff Rabz! I could never get into running, it does bad things to all my jointy bits. But I can ride for miles and miles. Miles and miles and miles!
Not as far as Shatterzzz. He’s a machine.
But I NEVER run, EVER! .. I’d rather watch the bus/train trundle off than dash the last 10 mts ..
There’s always another one .. eventually! … LOL!

You still haven’t answered mee question, Squire – are you or are you not a supporter of the Maggies?
Received an email from George Christenson of Nation First. This is what he had to say about vaccine mandates –
He also said you can opt out of the vaccine passport –
The Form IM017 was discussed here several times and I think many people did complete and return it. I certainly did. It’s good to have confirmation from Greg Hunt that it does prevent sharing of that information.
The other issue he raised was the TGA’s Ivermectin ban –
As if Barnaby Joyce or Greg Hunt would lift a finger to actually help people.

Brilliant.

Calli, I’m really sorry to hear that about your Dad.
This week my relo’s migraines came back and because she had a prescription repeat, she’s gone back on the beta blockers. She’s a high pain threshold so for her to complain it must be really something. She’s seeing her doctor next week.
