Gab that’s funny, since my ten years of friendship with lady brushtail has evinced nothing like that. The fleas and ticks all left when my old cat died. Lady brushtail is toilet trained (not her kiddies, but they don’t know any better). And I really doubt a brushtail could even dent an electrical cable. They have quite a weak bite and small teeth. I have direct experience. Rats, now, are a different matter.

I think Janis is hard to beat, not just as a great singer but also an interpreter of songs. I think even Aretha conceded that.

After that, Grace Slick in 1967/68, before the alcohol took hold, was incomparable in both power and subtlety.

Then Tina and probably a tie between Bonnie and Susan.

Then come your also rans, I’m afraid, Rabz, with an honourable mention to Kate Bush for her enigmatic performance on Wuthering Heights, although the change in registers in the opening section is more than a bit dodgy.

You need to define your peramters more clearly, Rabz.

But in any case, if that’s to be the definitive criterion, Susan Tedeschi is of this centruy and blows your others out of the water. She also happens to be married to the greatest slide guitarist ever, which doesn’t hurt.

What is the monster variant of COVID-19?

Fauci, the White House medical adviser on the coronavirus, told MSNBC’s Mika Brzezinski that there could be a “monster” variant that makes the delta variant look weak in comparison.

“There’s always a risk of, as you get more circulation of the virus in the community, that you’ll get enough accumulation of new mutations to get a variant substantially different than the ones we’re seeing now,” Fauci said on the MSNBC’S “Morning Joe” show.

Given we have never wiped out chicken pox, all other common cold variants, the flu etc; we should be having pandemics constantly.

We can be locked down 23 hours a day in a supermax under 23 masks for our own safety to guarantee our way of life.

[Verse 1 Urthboy]
It’s not as if you didn’t get the warnings
You got the transcripts and recordings
History was a way of sunning herself in the morning
But you’re a late starter make it easier to ignore it
Later not recall it, yo
You had unfettered access to the facts
But the fact is your back was turned to the atlas
Nothing like not being in the crash test
To help you make your mind up
Unknowingly the young sign up
The enemy of our enemy is still our enemy
So why are we arming them? Is this insanity?
That’s how the Taliban began
Watch em as they turn around and aim their weapons at Americans
How’s it feel to be a widowmaker?
Taker of the father of the family
Your tragedy is fate, that’s the stakes
So scoff at the Saigon link
Flash those pearlies take us way past the brink

[Bridge 1 Urthboy]
And we knew you were frauds
But onwards we went to war
Nothing could be said to convince you
We’ve already see it before

[Chorus Jane & Urthboy]
Someone could’ve told you it would end like this
We did, you didn’t listen you can’t take a trick
Lookin back 2020 mistakes I got many
And the truth is that I’ll probably do it again
No one could’ve ever hoped to sway your mind
We’ve been there before but it’s not that time
Lookin back 2020 mistakes I got many
And the truth is that I’ll probably do it again

[Verse 2 Jane]
There’s something familiar about the story you told me
The way that you mouthed it was not what you sold me
Well yes I’m one of many yet you ignored the signs
You made it personal don’t spin me that line
You can’t relax, cause it occurred on your watch
History will judge you cause you’re all that we’ve got
Is anyone listening? Are you fucking insane?
Am I to sit watching as it plays out again?

[Verse 3 Ozi Batla]
The truth is we knew this, people aren’t stupid
You play the innocent because you think we let you do it
If we think you’re too ruthless
Show you where the point of the boot is
It’s all about where the fuck your proof is
Keen an eye on that new kid
He’s liable to do shit
If you don’t keep a check on it, beyond your electorate
Peace in Iraq, man stay in Afghanistan
Looking for Osama, getting killed by the Taliban
War on drugs? War on terror, 9-11?
We knew where Johnny stood, where’s Kevin?
Don’t get me wrong, alarm clocks from heaven
Going off when the country woke up in ’07
But there’s no letting up
Yo we’re just getting up off the canvas
That very fact demands that
We stay as vigilant as can be, transparency?
Another AWB, well let’s see

[Bridge 2 Urthboy]
Even as we applaud
And we show them the door
Thought we’d warn you that we’re wary
Cause we’ve already seen it before

From Pooper Popper (ZeroHedge)

“The Most Terrifying Force of Death, Comes from The Hands of Men Who Wanted to Be Left Alone. They Try, So Very Hard, To Mind Their Own Business and Provide for Themselves and Those They Love. They Resist Every Impulse to Fight Back, Knowing the Forced and Permanent Change of Life That Will Come from It. They Know, That the Moment They Fight Back, Their Lives as They Have Lived Them, Are Over. The Moment the Men Who Wanted to Be Left Alone Are Forced to Fight Back, It Is a Form of Suicide. They Are Literally Killing Off Who They Used to Be. Which Is Why, When Forced to Take Up Violence, These Men Who Wanted to Be Left Alone, Fight with Unholy Vengeance Against Those Who Murdered Their Former Lives. They Fight with Raw Hate, And A Drive That Cannot Be Fathomed by Those Who Are Merely Play-Acting at Politics and Terror. True Terror Will Arrive at These People’s Door, And They Will Cry, Scream, And Beg for Mercy… But It Will Fall Upon the Deaf Ears of The Men Who Just Wanted to Be Left Alone.”

One thing VicJack Inc learned since the last time going around:

Using M4 lookalikes to spray protesters with OC pellets, regardless of what they are and the effect they have is extremely untidy, and (although I will stand corrected) it appears they didn’t go over that line. This time.

Other notes, before Keno gives me thousands via the new Pommy toppie:

1. Fat-arsed sheila cops have the capacity to be rolled on their arse, to the applause of all assembled, despite no doubt ‘using her mother’s voice’*; and
2. They persist in the idiocy of corralling thousands of people into confined areas with no way out, and then wonder why said people ‘wedge up’ and smash their lines. Note to Patton: You should not attempt to recreate the Battle of Cannae.

*’PTSD’ and 20 years of combining office work and maternity leave, having allowed herself to be filled in during a station piss up will no doubt ensue.

shatterzzz,
thank you for sharing your story and for pointing out the difference between what you did to your younger self and how it almost destroyed you, with the now potential destruction of our young, not because of anything that they have done, but because of what is being done to them by their own government(s).

In fact, the sacrifice the government(s) of this nation ask demand we make – the stealing of our lives, and of which the young, whose hopes and plans are yet to be fully formed if ever to be realised – is truly despicable.

It reminds me of the Weeping Angels in the Dr Who episode Blink, and how they feed off the “potential energy” of their victims, which is much like the effect that the government’s virus policy is having on all of us right now.

It could be justifiably argued that stealing potential energy is what governments always do to taxpayers and the wealth producing sectors of the economy. Where we’re at, however, is at the stage where the government is picking over the country’s entrails, whereas, normally, it’ll leave something for the citizen/taxpayer.

Wiki:

According to the Doctor, the Weeping Angels*…[are] “the deadliest, most powerful, most malevolent life-form evolution has ever produced.” Weeping Angels are unusual as predators in that they neither kill nor directly parasitize their prey. Their usual mode of feeding is to make use of time paradoxes – with a single touch, a Weeping Angel can send a person into the past to a point before their own birth, and can then feed off the “potential energy” of the years which that victim would have lived in the present

(*If anyone hasn’t watched Blink. it’s well worth it.)

No. He completely failed to rid his galaxy of those irritating cretins Princess Leia and Luke Skywalker. Not to mention R2D2 and his buddy.

Darth Vader was a penny pinching tyrant He strict budget control prevented his artillery from practise firing on an escape pod with no life forms aboard. If he did not demand to sign off on all weapons firing, his men could have blown R2D2 and the Death Star plans into oblivion. Game over.

Rabz – he’s apparently quite the drummer, so much so that the teachers in the NT tell me he’s outgrown them. He runs stuff like Tool, and the anthemic Def Leppard stuff. He’s got a job in the kitchen at a pub that runs live music to a decent crowd a couple of times a week, and comes home with a critique of whoever was on the sticks at the time. He’s on the lookout for a band though, which will clash with any probable future in hospo.

I fear the Triumvirate of Broken Dreams will claim him, as it has so many others.

That triumvirate, of course, consists of work, women and wondering where his keys are when he wakes up in the morning.

I was at the Melbourne protest today. Whether it was by accident or Vicpol tactics, it seems that there ended up being a couple of separate groups of protesters. Two groups attempted to merge on Burnley St but the police were able to keep us from joining.

Even though it didn’t generate the crowd that would have turned up to the CBD, it still feels like it was a good day. The vision of the police line being smashed through is sensational. Those boys would be feeling pretty good about themselves tonight, as they should. Absolute champions.

It sickens me when the media portray the protesters as hooligans. Many are just average people like me who were there. I spoke to a 60 year old mum who was there with her son. A man who came down from the country. People who just want to be able to go to work, live their lives and not be forced to be vaxxed.

Insanity strikes the legal profession again in the US.

Judges in North Carolina blocked a state voter-identification law Friday, calling the measure unconstitutional and discriminatory toward Black voters.

Two of three judges on the North Carolina Superior Court panel struck down the 2018 law, writing in a 100-page majority opinion that it “was motivated at least in part by an unconstitutional intent to target African-American voters.” The third judge on the panel dissented.

The ruling was the latest decision in a lawsuit filed in December 2018 by five North Carolina voters.

In the majority opinion, Superior Court Judges Michael O’Foghludha and Vince Rozier, Jr., wrote that it didn’t appear the lawmakers who supported the law targeted Black voters due to racism. The judges said Republican lawmakers targeted voters “who, based on race, were unlikely to vote for the majority party,” citing a 2016 federal appeals court ruling that struck down a 2013 photo voter identification law in the state.

Informed ‘Consent’

The QLD Government, via schools, is currently pushing school children to get vaccinated against COVID19. Take notes frisky university students enduring mandatory induction lectures about ‘consent’, here the QLD government explains the child-rapist sounding low bar that it uses when it’s claiming it has a childs ‘consent’:

Consent

For young people, consent from a parent/guardian is usually required. In Queensland:

individuals aged 12 to 15 years may require a parent/guardian to provide consent, however may be mature enough to provide informed consent
individuals aged 16 years and older are generally deemed to have capacity to consent for vaccination.

It is recommended that children under the age of 16 have a parent/guardian with them at their vaccination appointment. Young people seeking to provide informed consent themselves, without parental consent, should speak to their vaccinating clinician.

What they’re telling you, dear parents, is your 12 year old ‘may’ be capable of making life altering adult decisions all by themselves. And if they do, it’s a matter between your child and some complete stranger acting on behalf of the government. Not you.

On the other hand, here’s consent, as the government applies it to the public vis-a-vis adult relationships:

Consent is not…
Incapacitated, consent can not be given when drunk, high or unable to think clearly
Coerced, Threatened or Manipulated
Assumed, there shouldn’t be any doubt as to whether consent was given
Silence, the absence of a “no” is not a “yes”

Get it?

The crux of the matter from Joanna, if I may say, and it has become Patton’s massive, unparalleled Gordian Knot.

The larger protests of the last twenty or thirty years all involved militant unionists, including the wharfies and stevedores, and almost exclusively the usual Socialist Alliance and its varied splinter groups. A significant proportion of them trucked in from interstate. Protest-anything fuckhead anarchists gluing themselves to things and each other. Fish hooks braided into dreadlocks. Plastic bags full of piss and marbles under horses.

In general terms the public enjoyed seeing them mashed and trampled and beaten.

Not now. Now it is the public in the streets. Joe and Jane Mortgage with kids and bills, and who used to have jobs until Daniel Andrews and Hot Button Sutton destroyed said jobs along with the entire economy.

Wendy Matthews – The Day You Went Away

This song will forever remind me of the day my grandmother died. As newlyweds my grandparents had a farm in western NSW and went through the severe drought of the late 1930s. They moved into town in the early 1950s and had a retail business but Nan always had farming on her mind.

She had myeloid leukaemia and when she went to hospital for the last time I was talking to her on the phone and she expressed concern about the dry spell we were having and she would like some rain for the local farmers. On the day she died I made it up there an hour too late, as we walked out of the hospital into the brilliant sunshine my sister said “I wish it had been raining today for Nan.”

This song was on the charts at that time and whenever I hear it I think of Nan.

There’s not a cloud in the sky, it’s as blue as your goodbye.
And I thought that it would rain on a day like today.
There’s not a cloud in the sky, it’s as blue as your goodbye.

The very same people who had to endure weeks of not being able to get to work because of people glued to roads being protected by those same police!

Fuck these hyper political para-military thugs., they are done here.

This is the zenith of 30 years of making the police force more ‘sensitive and tolerant’ by the way. All that was just cover for subversion.

Every town has one. They are generally accessible, but also have easy egress. Most are surrounded by parkland. There is no reason that everyone on a Saturday might decide to visit the family graves, at precisely the same time. It’s something many promise to do, but it seldom happens.

World Health Organization European Advisory Group of Experts in Immunization former Vice President Professor Christian Perronne yesterday said that all vaccinated people must quarantine over the winter months or risk serious illness.

Perronne specializes in tropical pathologies and emerging infectious diseases. He was Chairman of the Specialized Committee on Communicable Diseases of the High Council of Public Health.

Confirming the rapidly deteriorating situation in Israel and the UK, the infectious disease expert stated: “Vaccinated people should be put in quarantine, and should be isolated from the society.”

He went on to say: “Unvaccinated people are not dangerous; vaccinated people are dangerous for others. It’s proven in Israel now – I’m in contact with many physicians in Israel – they’re having big problems, severe cases in the hospitals are among vaccinated people, and in UK also, you have the larger vaccination program and also there are problems.”

It could be the new “Remembrance Day”.

We get to go to the cemeteries and lay flowers on our deceased loved ones, and to beg forgiveness for the fact that we were the ones that killed Liberty.

jupes – I will never criticise my friends on this blogue.

When I posted that I’d had the jab, I expected criticism. That doesn’t bother me, however having the jab certainly does. I don’t feel good about it.

I don’t feel good about it.

I would say, Jupes, if and when they start asking for proof of vaccination, resist regardless.

all vaccinated people must quarantine

That would be right. I have be sharing a house with five workmates. Three fully vaxxed, one with one jab (me) and one with none. Two have just come down with the ‘rona.

No prizes for guessing their vaccination status.

The ‘rona must do its evil work very quickly.

Some good news to report to Cats.

Mostly the coppers in regional Australia aren’t hassling people. The plod are just going about their day to day stuff. In fact, they have very low visibility, if not being completely invisible altogether.

They know it’s bullshit, we know it’s bullshit. There is nothing wrong with a blind eye. No one goes looking for trouble. It’s an easy peace.

It kinda makes you wonder about city life. It’s a mirror of the populace.

You head to “the big smoke” if you want to make a name for yourself. It’s no different for the Police ranks.

Today could have been completely different. The Police should have waved the protesters through, and in fact, walked with them. Their job should have been to make sure no private or public property got smashed up. End of story.

If any protesters had started smashing shit up or burning it, then I would be 100% for a swift Police reaction. The majority of protesters would have helped/applauded them sorting out the rioters.

But it didn’t pan out that way. This “us against them” mentality is rife now. It could have been so easily avoided.
