Great post BBS. Alas Scummo doesn’t have a conscience and has zero sense of responsibility. He’s a disgrace….he’ll even stab his on in the back……ask Craig Kelly, ask George Christensen and ask Christian Porter.

Cassie, +1.
I had him pegged when he stood with Porter in a presser the same(?) day that Cardinal Pell was fully exonerated by the HC, and instead of making a statement on Australian justice, he said that “he supports the victims.” Crud, through and through!

Yes, Rabz, THAT Max Sharam, but the woman I was thinking of was Monique Brumby. I bought her first disc Thylacine, and she was the support act for Wendy Mathews.

Immediately after Cardinal Pell was acquitted by the HC last April, Christian Porter rushed to release Pell’s Royal Commission extracts and findings. As far as I’m concerned Porter did this to further embarrass and besmirch George Pell’s character. Pell was an innocent man who had just been through a great injustice. In doing so I believe Porter sided with evil….as did Scumbag Morrison. Perhaps Porter can reflect on his actions…..he’s now had his career destroyed by that evil. This is what happens when you side with evil…..the evil will come for you one day.

The conservatives never learn this.

Porter is indeed a creep. He failed to resolve any of the issues raised by the Fleming case and ironically was heisted by the same short-comings in witness testimony which impugned Fleming:

As the _roomba continually finds out, doxxing is only doxxing if you get it right (the Hun):

Bungling online thugs have been menacing a policeman in the mistaken belief he worked at a wild weekend anti-lockdown protest. He is the latest to be targeted as figures linked to the protests move to zero in on individual officers, via social media and encrypted apps.

The officer was singled out on Twitter by people who believed he was involved in an incident captured by the media, which is now the subject of an internal investigation. But Victoria Police says the member has been on leave and had nothing to do with the demonstrations.

“These posts are incorrect. The member named was not on duty on Saturday and had nothing to do with the incident which has been referred to professional standards command for investigation,” a force spokesman said.

That incident involved a woman being knocked to the ground and capsicum sprayed as police moved in on demonstrators.

From the same piece:

Protesters’ correspondence, seen by the Herald Sun on Telegram, suggests the next locations be “kept secret” in the future, to prohibit police from planning weeks in advance.

“Drop location one hour before meet up on the designated day as to not give cops time to prepare,” one message read.

Duh.

Another suggests the organisers should continue to announce the protest location as the CBD but announce a “completely different” location an hour prior.

Duuuuuuuhhhhh.

One member of the group agreed, telling their fellow 8000 members to “never actually go to the CBD” again, after police proved they were willing to shut the city down to foil further protests.

Duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

A man’s body was pulled from the Yarra River about 5:00 pm this evening, upstream of the Swan St bridge.
He was dressed in fishnet stockings, stilettos, a school girl’s uniform, a Victoria Police cap and had a dildo inserted in his rectum.
Authorities removed the Police cap to spare his family any embarrassment.

That incident involved a woman being knocked to the ground and capsicum sprayed as police moved in on demonstrators.

Let’s be more observant here:

That incident involved an elderly, unarmed woman standing alone, who was pushed to the ground, hitting her head on the road, and was then sprayed in the face at close range by two male officers who stood over her as she remained lying on the ground, barely moving. Vision of the incident did not show the woman resisting police orders or actions in any way.

The only difference between the two major political parties is that one of them will tell you you’re pretty BEFORE they insert the rusty star picket, and the other will take a photo of your ‘prettiness’ DURING the insertion.

For the last 18 months, via senate committees & questions on notice, Tim Wilson has put on a brake on Industry Super.
That brake will go as soon as the ALP/Greens control the senate, but the discomfort Tim Wilson has caused the union movement has been enormous.
Who has Pauline Hanson made feel uncomfortable over the past 18 months?

Morrison is the architect and enabler of everything that is happening in Australia right now. It is happening because he is making it happen, or letting it happen.

In one week of pulpit thumping he could put a stop to it all at this stage. The premiers, the violence, the threats, the carving up of Australia back into colonial fiefdoms, the people would back him in a second now, they want their prime minister to act like they always have towards the states: with contempt and a big stick.

He is objectively the single worst prime minister in 120 years by a mile, and quite possibly a genuinely evil character with his sinister and relentless machinations to create a vast panopticon ‘passport’ surveillance prison system and dividing us into a dual class country running millions of normal healthy people out of society and into the gutter and oblivion.

Why such an over the top response when it will mean they lose the next election?
To me, they are saying that there won’t be an honest election in the future.

Again I’ll say we can pinpoint the moment, the literal day, that Morrison completely turned on us.

If found guilty, Houston could face heavy penalties including jail time. If found guilty, he could also significantly hinder Scott Morrison’s chances of winning the next election, whose longstanding esteem for Houston has never been a secret.

Indeed, Morrison credited Houston as being a key spiritual mentor, thanking the “dedicated church leader” in his first speech to Parliament in 2008.

August 5th this story dropped: Morrison panicked and gave us over to our enemies that week.

Agreed. The cops were sure anxious to get away quickly, and weren’t exactly forthcoming when asked what station they were from.

If he had any conscience and any sense of responsibility for the position he holds, now would be a good time for Scummo to make a speech directly to the Australian people.

That’s a good list BBS, it’s the only way they can save themselves next March. If Morrison can’t change direction I can only conclude that he’s been compromised. They’ll have to sack him as PM but who else have they got?

Yes, O.B., he is clearly compromised and has been so ever since he decided on the National Cabinet. Since then he’s been receiving protection from the premiers and as a result he will not criticise any of them. This has diminished him in the eyes of the electorate. No one else is to blame for the situation he finds himself in; he’s done it himself.

If he won’t show some real leadership, the only option is Peter Dutton. But more than likely that won’t happen, so I’m passed caring. He’s gone and good riddance.

It’s not stupidity per se, Crossie. It’s self-preservation (and power). Having stuffed the country, the politicians can hardly say now “gee, we made a mistake; off you go, back to whatever you were doing before he called it pandemic.”

How would that look to electorate; how would they handle that admission? Of course, there’s lots of us who know it anyhow, but there’s still lots of citizens who don’t and who still believe that we’re in the middle of fighting off the Black Death. The “put your mask on” crowd, who get their news from the msm. Any backtracking on the public health orders will see the end of their support, not to mention the large numbers of public servants who’ve done very well out of this little shakedown of the real economy by the parasites. While as to the former group, their vote has already been lost.

And on the power trip; I don’t mean to be gross, but power is the ultimate political wet-dream; just look at the way Andrews, Gladys, Pileofsh1t (h/t Diogenes) and that arsehole in the West are handling the predicaments of their residents; they’re wallowing in the media hype of the daily news conferences.

Abbott is a decent man (God save us from decent men) who got Hanson deregistered because he thought she was racist and would compromise the immigrant vote particularly the chunk vote. What Hanson did was prescient: she claimed the essential elements of Australian society was being changed and threatened by mass immigration, particularly chunk immigration; at the time she didn’t focus on the muzzies but made up for that later on with her astounding stunt of wearing a burqa in parliament. Anyway she was right.

Once Abbott had her deregistered then the smirking turd peter beattie put her in jail for election fraud since if her party was illegitimate then the electoral funding it received was fraudulent. So Abbott did the ground work but I think he didn’t intend that Hanson go to jail.

Anyway, she has more guts then any other pollie and if she doesn’t do everything the purist wankers here judge her by that’s a reflection on the wankers not her.

The event features 35 experts from 19 countries with expertise in six areas of inquiry: medical, legal, political, media, civil society and policy-making. The topic centers on the far-reaching impact of the Chinese Communist Party’s organ harvesting atrocities on human dignity and all aspects of life, and how to combat and prevent such atrocities.

Forced Organ harvesting of living people poses a great danger to humankind as it violates universal ethical values, moral principles of life and human dignity, thus turning the medical profession into an abusive practice.

Boris seems to have managed it. After locking England down for months he said they were opening up, that the virus could not be eliminated but sufficient numbers had been vaccinated. (I know he still wants a vaccine passport, but that’s another issue.)

How are we any different? Summer is coming. The numbers are going to do down (especially if they reduce the testing, or just turn the cycles down), just like with the flu.

It was a means to an end, Dot. It was always all about the vaccines – but the only way to get them over the line was to scare the populace so badly that, unlike the ‘flu vaccine, which has never had 100% coverage and which Fauci has bemoaned for that reason. But this one was going to bring home the bacon. (Again, if you haven’t already watched the vid on David Martin etc, that provides much of this stuff).

As to the msm. Where once the media “held the politicians to account,” nowadays, they’re all after jobs in the politicians’ media units, which have grown exponentially. On top of that, governments spend heaps of money on government advertising – so how can the media be investigative anymore when there’s so much money up for grabs – it can’t bight the hand that feeds it, can it? And when politicians lose an election, where do the media units go? Why, some of them go back to the media but they always take their links with them. Finally, journalists no longer have cadetships where the training once upon a time was robust. Now, it’s all done at tertiary education level where it’s a nursery for left wing agendas and the making of connections. The entire thing is equally symbiotic and parasitic, which means neither does it serve the interests of the public nor is designed to do so.

Are people with personality disorders capable of recognising the need to save face?
The fear of ‘losing face’ is based on a desire to avoid feeling shame, right?
The pre-requisite for the ability to feel shame is the capacity to self-reflect?
Is empathy necessary for self-reflection?

Sorry for being pedantic, but … you know.

They’d just lie and say that the target has been reached.

Or they could say “the vaccination target was 62%” and has now been exceeded.

These are all narcissists. Consequently, they have no understanding of real people; they’re a means to an end.

Pacifists aren’t going to make it in any Parliament.

We need narcissists as Politicians. Mongrel dogs.

It’s the length of the chain that counts.

Muds – “loss of face” is basically just admitting you were wrong.

“The Gunslingers Jockstrap” lmfao!

Now There’s a name for a Regimental boozer!

If you’re gonna get ‘exposed’ by Sammie Crumpets and Their ABC, best to be as Balls-To-The-Wall whoopy as you can get.

Because if your audience can’t listen to some sanctimonious *Cough*individual *Cough* reading out a roll-call of your alleged dirty deeds (done dirt cheap, no less!) without getting a violent case of the giggles, then any trial-by-media is doomed to failure…

NSW will start to reopen once we reach the 70% double vaccination target.

NSW:

Masks will remain mandatory for all indoor public venues, including public transport, front-of-house hospitality, retail and business premises, on planes and at airports.

Fucking retards.

There will be revised guidance on isolation for close and casual contacts who are fully vaccinated, with details to be provided closer to the reopening date.

So they’re either making it up as they go along; or they are embarrassed by how illiberal what they plan is.

If we don’t hit 70% by 12 October, the Legislative Council might nuke a lot of these executive orders.

Last week I checked and there is simply no legal basis so far for the plan to “open up” NSW at a certain vaccination rate.

23 days for 20% of the population to hold out.

Ergo, why this is also being pushed so damned hard.

Easier to learn to drive trains. Especially steam trains.

Or they could say “the vaccination target was 62%” and has now been exceeded.

Or they could just keep hammering the entire country into tyranny – Vik & NSW first, followed by the others. Once Vik & NSW fall, it will be too late for the other states & territories to do anything.

Vaccine passports as the means to a full identity trace with a Social Credit Score. Freedom to do whatever the arseholes tell us to do.

They have caused too much damage to back out now – especially when the deaths and injuries from the “jabs” become too large to ignore.

“The Gunslingers Jockstrap”

Much like the perfect name for a sports bar with included ping-pong or squash courts would be “Balls To the Wall.”

Or “Poverty” if you run a place with some pokies attached.

  1. Pyramid Building Society. Nothing much has changed from time immemorial. This sounds like one of the less deserving cases.
