    Tell us Nongy…did your granddaddy fight in the White Army against the Reds?

    Fun fact, some Aussies fought with the White Russians.
    Russian history is fascinating.
    The story of the Czech division in Russia would be something you couldn’t possibly believe if it wasn’t so well documented.

    Back peddle harder JC.

    Oh, why would I do that, USSR?

    Abortion used to be illegal.

    Now it’s something that feeds industries you’re happy to boast of being personally invested in.

    I did, did I? I boasted about investing in abortion, did I? Your middle name is KGB, USSR you dishonest rat. I said I was toying with the idea of putting some money into biotech.

    Police bashing Victorians in the street for the shear terror of it, used to be illegal, now it backs the Jab industry that is also tied to the abortion industry.

    You’re also happy to be a Pro-Jabber.

    No, I’m not happy, nor am I unhappy. I don’t really think about it much. Jabbing is a personal decision and if you choose not , I don’t give a shit. Having said that, I’m guessing you’re grossly obese, USSR. That’s because you appear to spend most of your waking hours in front of a screen collecting or peddling conspiracy theories. Covid appears to be the sickness of the fatties, so I’d watch out if I were you and remain in the basement.

    China has a massive industry in harvesting human organs to order.

    Yea, people suspect this and?

    How long before buying directly from then also becomes legal in this Global Age of The Great Reset?

    Dunno, haven’t really thought about it.

    About when you may really need a heart … to live, not only to feel human?
    See, I do have a sense of humour as those who know me well know.

    Yea, you’ve always been a laugh a minute.

    Oh but you joke about monstrous things, insisting they’re not real, when you know damn well they are.

    OMG.

    You and many like you do that all the time and so the monstrous things trundle along, largely unimpeded, all the while making big money that always finds it’s way into the market.

    This is insane.

    And if that also means chopping up healthy babies, children & adults for their parts, hey, it’s only business, right.

    Can I ask… Let’s be hypothetical for a sec. If the Chinese chopped you up and boned you, would they get 120 kilos including the fat? Just curious.

    The Reds also had non-Russians fighting for them. Many ex-POW’s from the old Austrian-Hungarian empire fought for the Reds……the soldiers who shot the tsar and his family were mainly non-Russians…and one them was probably Hungarian Imre Nagy…who later was leader of the Hungarian revolution in 1956.

    I was in town today & didn’t leave the office until almost 7pm.
    I saw a group of about 20 skate boarders & roller bladers going nuts on at the bottom of Martin Place.
    I thought it was a protest, but probably just a some smart kids realising the streets are empty & what better time to take advantage of it.
    Yes, I did say roller bladers.
    But there were a lot more skate boarders than them.

    Dot,

    there are plenty of pundits to tell you where in a field to properly locate your mind,
    my issue is that the Grattans of this world are there to show you how far in the field you’re allowed to wander.

    Oh give me land, lots of land, and the starry skies above
    Don’t fence me in
    Let me ride through the wide open country that I love
    Don’t fence me in

    Let me be by myself in the evening breeze
    And listen to the murmur of the cottonwood trees
    Send me off forever but I ask you please
    Don’t fence me in

    The DW youtube channel has a lot of good mini doco’s.
    The kind of thing the ABC should be doing.

    The doco pulls no punches, the first 5 minutes makes it clear that the theme is Big Pharma is too powerful and too dangerous.

    I enjoy European movies and news. My impression is that they are more wary of corporate power than in Aus. No Aus news outlet would have the courage to do that sort of doco.

    Biotech = abortion industry.

    ..
    I’m sure you can find biotech companies that don’t use aborted babies tissue.
    Which is what I’ll be looking at soon.
    I guess if you invest in something which is based on treating certain humans as non- human, the risk there is that the money you make can be taken off you because such an outlook makes all decisions about who is or isn’t human arbitrary.
    It is on the same continuum as the CCP transplant stuff, because that is about de-humanising and commodifying people too.
    Therefore it’s in one’s own interest not to encourage such, because you’re doing it to make money, but if people can be reclassified as non- people for profit, then the money you have is now only your own until such time as you get reclassified as a non- human.
    But here’s where it gets very, very difficult: Once society operates on that basis, it becomes almost impossible to untangle yourself from it. You live in a society that allows this. The consequences permeate all through everything. Difficult, difficult stuff.
    I’d be very interested in J.C. and SRR thrashing this out, so go to it. try to keep the hair pulling and eye gouging to a strict minimum.

    Conversely, there’s no reason to read articles, watch news, listen to dissenting viewpoints, consider the infirm, nothing. You just need to get back to first principles.
    Does our government have a constitutional power (let alone moral imperative) to segregate citizens into anything other than free men and detained convicts? No.
    Does our government have a constitutional power, or moral imperative, to compel other citizens to discriminate amongst their fellow citizens as anything other than free men or detained convicts? No, of course not, even without considering the first.

    I’d never invest in one biotech firm as you need a bundle of them to spread the risk. That’s why I mentioned ETF’s earlier.

    But honestly, I’m appalled by the censorious tone here.

    This is a life saving industry that will reduce human suffering and prolong life over oceans of time. It’s wonderful. However, I’m being told I’d be investing in the abortion industry and I’m evil.

    At least this is what that obese cow , USSR is suggesting. Ironically, this is the style of the accusations that used to come out of the Leninist playbook. The slob says she’s Russian , so go figure. 🙂

    But on a serious note, this sort of censoriousness is what you’d expect from leftists of today and not from the right. We need to be careful not falling into that trap.

    Yes, I did say roller bladers.

    we roller bladed down the north sydney side of the harbour bridge approach when it was closed to traffic for its anniversary. was like skiing a bitumen mountain. foolishly we started a race and started going straight down the big hill, terminal speed was absurdly high, from memory we estimated it at well over 80kph. it was fucking fast. on roller blades. on bitumen. one of the guys got the death wobbles but kept it together. we were all tucked right down to get maximum speed but the road was so rough I was bouncing all over the place. any fall would have meant broken limbs. my legs were shaking when we finally reach the bottom of that multi kilometre hill.

    so we took a bus back up and did it again and again.

    Irrelevant. If they do wrong they must be punished. The Purdue matter was an atrocious example of not so Big Pharma lying and concealing data for the sake of profit. It’s not the only one, the doco I linked too provided evidence of Big Pharma concealing data for the sake of profit. There is even a phrase for it, “the bottom file drawer”. They practice “enriched enrollment” which involves choosing the patients to obtain the best possible result. The original Prozac studies were so positive it was ridiculous and latter proved to be a product of manipulating data. The keep tweaking drugs to obtain new patents.

    If you are concerned about the censorious tone then perhaps it is because you’ve never bothered to learn about the dirty tricks played in that industry. We need it but we need it cleaned up.

    Someone has no idea about the sacrament of confession.

    But do go on.

    as a supposed ‘woman’ you know all about the sacrament of confession????

    you must be in a Gnostic church.

    do you have those ‘dream catcher’ thingies???

    Nah, rosie (she ain’t), is a super Catholic, so super Catholic she left her old church for one that did Latin mass.

    Now her Pope would rather they not do Latin mass, so she’s shut up about how important that was to her.

    Her Pope also told Bishops not to deny the Eucharist to unrepentant, Abortion Industry Investors, so that’s also ok by notafan of God’s Word over her Pope, rosie.

    Funny how nota rose by any name took it upon herself to ‘uncatholic’ Daniel Andrews even though he still claims the faith, but doesn’t have a problem with Joe Biden, Nancy Pelosi and a whole host of those Abortion loving Political “Catholics”, still receiving the Eucharist while being so unrepentant they don’t even have to bother with confession, cos it’s cool by her Pope.

    I’m not your librarian. Purdue was dragged through the courts. Charges were laid against some executives but were little more than a slap on the wrist. The fine was pitiful, less than a month’s profits. It has recently gone into bankruptcy to avoid further litigation.
    Don’t erect straw men with the “pure evil” remark. I never said that. You don’t care about these matters, you don’t care that people have died because Big Pharma engaged in corrupt practices. You only care about how much money you can make out of them. See how easy it is to erect straw men? Though in your case I expect that may well be true because your responses indicate you have never bothered to read a single word about the issue. So spare me you your stupid demands because you are too lazy and hence too ignorant to recognise what many have long recognised.

    For two introductions get off your lazy arse and read “Dopesick Nation” and watch the DW doco. You’ll find plenty of evidence in both.

    I’m not your librarian.

    If you make a big claim, either provide evidence and prove it or just you know, fuck off.

    Purdue was dragged through the courts. Charges were laid against some executives but were little more than a slap on the wrist. The fine was pitiful, less than a month’s profits.

    Oh so they weren’t as bad as you make out?

    It has recently gone into bankruptcy to avoid further litigation.

    And this is evidence is it? Firms go broke for a number of reasons.

    Don’t erect straw men with the “pure evil” remark.

    I’m not erecting anything of the sort. you insinuated yourself into a discussion dealing with biotech and you tried to turn it into some cheap Friday night horror movie painting ALL pharma and biotech as evil.

    I never said that.

    You most certainly did try to insinuate that, otherwise why raise oddball assertions?

    You don’t care about these matters, you don’t care that people have died because Big Pharma engaged in corrupt practices.

    Again with the mind reading crap. Actually, you know what, no, I’m no saint or holly man of some sort. I don’t really care. Anyone who feigns care like you is a bullshit artist.

    You only care about how much money you can make out of them.

    Yep. If they make lots of money, it means they’re making and creating great products.

    Though in your case I expect that may well be true because your responses indicate you have never bothered to read a single word about the issue. So spare me you your stupid demands because you are too lazy and hence too ignorant to recognise what many have long recognised.

    You said yourself that Purdue has filed for bankruptcy which is exactly how firms that do bad things are dealt with. So what fucking more do you want to see? That’s how capitalism is supposed to work. If you don’t like it then fuck off to North Korea or some shithole like that and live there.

    For two introductions get off your lazy arse and read “Dopesick Nation” and watch the DW doco. You’ll find plenty of evidence in both.

    No thanks. Zero interest. I’m more than aware there are rotten people who at times do rotten things. It doesn’t surprise me. Unlike you though, I wouldn’t paint an entire industry as evil, which is exactly what you’ve done, you clown.

    Here’s a weird thing JC:
    Up until 2020 all the leftists thought Big Pharma was the devil incarnate. Hollywood made movies about it. There was no way they would support things like vaccine mandates or the suppression of doctor’s rights to treat off label.
    Then, this year, all that became cool, and Big Pharma couldn’t be questioned or you were a science denier.
    It’s all very, very strange.
    Maybe the old left were at least partly right to be suspicious of these things.
    I can’t square the demonisation of treatments with the stated aim of saving lives.
    ..
    I’ve never liked transplant technology, because even if you accept it’s OK for donated organs it will never stop at freely donated because the demand will always far outstrip supply, and I believe that in the end, we’ll find it’s easier to reclassify people as non- human in order to satisfy that demand, rather than invest in alternatives to transplant technology.
    Using aborted fetal tissue to produce hybrid critters for experiment is another problem. Blurring the lines between human an non- human.
    Done under Christian social norms it’s bad enough. But we’re well into a new atheistic epoch. If they can murder a full term baby with Downes syndrome now, if they are growing human ears on the back of mice now, if they are making it illegal for private hospitals to prevent euthanasia practitioners entry now, if they’re talking about leaving babies that survive abortions in a dish while the doctor and “mother” have a discussion about what to do, now, if they testing just about damn near everything on fetal cells now. Where the hell does it all go in five years? Ten years?
    The question isn’t what might I personally accept or not accept to save my life.
    Because these decisions operate at a society level. What I do has zero effect on that. It’s like the voting thing. No one single vote has ever changed an election result.
    The decision to go down the route of transplants rather than artificial organs or finding technology to repair organs. Or just accepting that for all of us at some point our time is up.
    The point is, the profit motive is good, the best, if it works within a christian moral framework.
    it’s not so good if companies can find a profit in murder and push and push at bounds of the acceptable in order to get there in cohoots with Planned Parenthood, cultural marxists and the lunatic, atheistic left.
    My brother is genetic engineer. He has a doctorate. Some of the research they do is amazingly dystopian. He is also a full blown sociopath, and I say that as a brother, so I know it. These are not the people you want pushing at the bounds of who is classified human and who isn’t, when there is money to be made pushing it and pushing it and pushing it a bit more.

    The “file drawer” phenomenon: suppressing clinical evidence

    “Unsettling circularity”: Clinical trial enrichment and the evidentiary politics of chronic pain

    In this respect EERW helps find the ‘right patient for the drug’ within the context of the clinical trial, but fails to help clinicians find the right drug for the patient, and so represents only an empty promise of personalization.

    No thanks. Zero interest. I’m more than aware there are rotten people who at times do rotten things. It doesn’t surprise me. Unlike you though, I wouldn’t paint an entire industry as evil,

    Oh, I should be looking for the relevant material because you made a series of claims. Claims, incidentally that had zero to do with the original discussion, which was about passively investing in biotech through ETFs.

    I know your game. It is the same with everyone here. That facile, puerile I’ll comment last and win game. FOAD.

    Oh lordie, the mind reading again. Seriously, will you just fuck off with the mind reading.

    I have zero interest in worrying about Purdue’s bankruptcy and even less about caring about what you care so much about, or purport to. If you don’t like… really don’t like pharma, stay the fuck away from chemist stores and stick with herbal teas, which are sure to cure everything.

    Some of the six year olds got stuck in the woodchipper, and I had to poke them through with an eight foot reo rod I found. Then the belts started slipping and I had to change them out, and then the IG Farben barrels they sent didn’t have the right sealing straps.

    “My grandfather, a very good farmer, got the family out of the Ukraine a year before they were locked down to starve.

    Before that he fought against the Red Russians.”

    Tell us Nongy…did your granddaddy fight in the White Army against the Reds?

    Oh and how did granddaddy leave Stalin’s Ukraine in 1931?

    First, I hope you now refrain from pulling your, ‘How dare you insult a Jew! Don’t you know I’m a Jew, you Jew hater!’, act, on people you want to silence from now on.

    The way you treat and speak of people who suffered what you only read in books (and obviously learned not an ounce of human compassion or humility from), is worse than arrogant. It is heartless.

    My mother was born in 1927. Her farther got them all out in 1928, knowing it was to soon become impossible to leave.
    Doing so meant taking bugger all & selling less, because any sign of preparing to leave meant being stopped before you started.

    Now do feel free to carry on with your bloody stupid school girl name calling and geeing your equally deep partners in human debasement to join in with you, but I am done with all of you now that you’ve all gone to so much trouble to prove there isn’t a drop of honest good faith in any of your missives.

    None of our institutions are functioning as they should, the High Court doesn’t give a shit about our Constitution, Parliament only sits when an unelected bureaucrat says it’s OK, the coppers are running amuck and the whole bloody thing is going tits up.
    Which is what they want – chaos.
    They think they are in control and can turn the screws whichever way they want. It’s a very dangerous frame of mind to be in – thinking one is in control while denying the evidence that one is not.

    More lies from srr who clearly never ceased building the dossier during her four year absence.
    I changed parishes about three years ago but not to an exclusive Latin mass parish, of which Melbourne has only one.

    If you’d kept up you would be aware that Archbishop Comensoli has maintained the Latin mass in the Melbourne diocese.
    If you have evidence that Dan Andrews is active in a parish please produce it.
    As for Biden Pelosi etc, I have commented about them in the past, but will not do so on a daily basis to please one of the resident nut cases.
    Pope Francis made the point that no abortion supporting ‘Catholic’ politician has approached him to receive Holy Communion, perhaps his view about being pastors not politicians is a good one.
    You seem to have no grasp on the fact that Catholic sacraments are first and foremost about a Catholic’s relationship with God, who even an empty vessel like you should realise isn’t fooled by liars.

    Yes, I read the articles.

    These are reasonable questions for us, as a society, to consider. What will happen to those who cannot be vaccinated for medical reasons or whose faith prevents them from doing so? Would we exclude them from shopping in a supermarket or having a meal at a restaurant? Perhaps a negative rapid antigen test could help those for whom vaccination is not a viable option.

    No.
    These are not reasonable arguments as they sidestep the issue.
    This is the sort of sleazy prevarication I expect from the media – hedge the argument with only those options they think we should have, and then call us unreasonable when we refuse their choices.
    Where do I fit in this scenario where I am just a cranky old coot who wants the government to just piss off and leave me alone?
    No place for me in their social credit world, just the options I’m allowed to have.

    Life is hard for young male brushtails. They have to traipse huge amounts of territory in hope of finding a willing female, then get driven off afterwards. Never well fed. Dodging powerful owls. This one looked like a body builder, stripped muscles and no fat at all. A little unnatural kindness is all I can offer.

    Life is hard for any wild creature, Bruce, although as you note some have it worse than others in the eternal hunt for food to stay alive. We humans were like this too in the hunter-gatherer stage, and often made it worse for ourselves by our social organisation, which doomed some to food and others to near starvation or callous death. Learning to create our own food sources enabled us to survive and thrive – except where we did the same thing as before and knocked some out of the sharing.

    So where you can, be kind. A creature fed can show you that your little kindness matters. I feel the same way about some of my birdies, especially those who have some disablement, such as a torn wing or crook feet. Then, if and when they don’t return, I know that the big black crow is well fed.

    They have an excellent library of documentaries.

    Maybe I should just put them off Chesterton, The History Guy, Lotus Eaters, Rukshan, Topher, The Bible, and countless other valuable productions I care to share, just to keep their minds down where they’re more comfortable.

    I use the word mob, deliberately & correctly, as a mob is, what a mob does.
    One lies about the target, the others in the mob take the lie unquestioningly and run with it like flaming torches & pitchforks out for blood.

    JC’s “fat” lie being the latest example of countless bald faced lies, that the admitted, not too slender anymore, ladies, simply couldn’t resist, but alas unlike the lie they liked to mock, the truth will likely only fuel their womanly hate for another woman all the more.

    It does have Heinlein’s favourite sexual fantasy of using time travel to successfully realise an attraction to an underage girl. Other then that its full of Heinlein’s usual engineering potpourri. Heinlein was a natural story-teller and could make asinine plots totally convincing but his sense of his own mortality and interesting sexuality got the better of him in his later novels. But there is no doubt overall he is maybe the top S-F writer of all time.

    “Her farther got them all out in 1928, knowing it was to soon become impossible to leave.”

    You’re a liar, the famine began in 1932….earlier you said your grandfather left one year before the “great hunger”. And the borders were shut by Lenin. It would have been near impossible for anyone to leave…..even in 1928.

    As for this line “‘How dare you insult a Jew! Don’t you know I’m a Jew, you Jew hater!’,”….clearly you have an unhealthy obsession with Jews…because that’s probably hereditary.

    Oh and just remember, as Judge Judy says, that if you tell the truth you don’t have to have a good memory.
