The cops were shooting the fleeing protesters in the back. Who ordered that? We need to know.

Liberty Victoria will be right onto it.

But seriously, if those were live rounds that’s beyond the pale.

Even if they were rubber bullets it’s inexcusable.

I’m wondering now, once the lockdown ends, whether I’ll still be welcome.

All are welcome Chez Delta.

Fortunately, my immediate family agree with me 100%: no vaccination until safety verification.

Son, who is Godfather of his nephew and all nieces, sent an impassioned email to Daughter, begging her to refuse the vax for his sweeties. She replied that none of them had any intention of taking it. The kids* are informed enough to make their own choice which, unanimously is, no vax. They also refuse to wear masks in school (with no problems from teachers), or at any other time.

I don’t know what our current state restrictions are: we don’t take any notice of them. Weekly family dinner night (minimum of 12) happens no matter what ‘the authorities’ say. There has been precisely ZERO cases of covid in our community -or in within 50+ kms of our community- and we are not going to allow a group of unqualified bureaucrats to rob us of these precious family moments.

Calli, I’m not anti vax. I’m not pro vax either. I’m agnostic.

I am a true conservative. A true conservative, unlike the “feels,” assesses a situation, weighs up options, makes an informed decision. The section of weighing up options can take true conservatives a while. Especially if there’s a lack of data available; a conservative will take longer to make up their mind.

I’m not anti vax at all. I just don’t have enough data to currently make an informed opinion. I don’t think anyone else idiotic for getting it or not. I just want more data. And that takes time… 🙂

I think it must feed into a character trait.

Winston’s aphorism about feeding crocodiles springs to mind:

“An appeaser is someone who feeds a crocodile, hoping it will eat him last.”

Given that there are plenty of people who have seen the West’s Red Guards in academia, the intelligentsia and the various administrative bugmen classes getting more shrill and more aggressive as they realise just how legion they have become, it is easier to play along.

Once again, nobobdy has bothered to stop and read up on how this went for the average Russian, Pole, Hungarian, Czech, Chinese, Korean, Cuban or Venezuelan.

The difference being, that the Red Flags do not look like the Red Flags they were conditioned to recognise (by being solely force-fed Nazi films and photos in school. Not the equally plentiful media of various Anarchists, Communists, Red Army, PLA or western Antifa groups).

Red Flags these days look like BLM flags, Antifa flags, Extinction Rebellion street theatre, Rainbow flags, Socialist Alliance/Alternative logos, etc. And their black- and brownshirts now include the police themselves. Ditto the various violent and non-uniform rabbles each movement attracts…

Dover, Clennell is one of the most idiotic of idiots. On and on, for months, he’s been spruiking the vax and the “stupidity” of those Australians who refuse to get jabbed. In fact he doesn’t seem to be able to understand these people’s position at all.

He continues to draw a illogical comparison to the jab with seat belts and bike helmets. He seems completely unable to differentiate between actual instruments of safety and an unproven medical treatment. Not only that, but more importantly, he doesn’t seem to understand what informed consent is, what freedom and liberty mean nor the role of the conscience in the decisions and choices of free people.

Just had a look at the vision (h/t someone). Certainly pump-action shotguns, and almost certainly the bean bag rounds because I am very happy that the baton rounds they have are 40mm in calibre.

The bean bags (a lot less cuddly than it sounds) hurt more in any event.

Awful drills as well. Awful, poorly-trained drills. If you can’t rack five rounds out of a pumpy in two seconds or thereabouts you’re kidding yourself. That shit was straight out of the movies. Bang. Work forestock back. Then forward. Bang.

Notice today, even worse than yesterday, some people have no problems getting feeds & getting them to stay up, others are chasing links all over the place that keep getting cut off.
Some have success with searches, some get year old BS, and so on.

THE thing to take particular notice of is how some people abuse & mock others for daring to even report that they can’t get links to play, lose internet service, etc.

It’s a warm up to a more sinister version of, “post a pic or it didn’t happen”, and it’s The Baddies who are playing it to further cut off The Goodies from gaining an audience.

However, we have it all worked out if we go into lockdown again, with restrictions again, and are caught flouting those again: everyone has their hidey place… unless one of us imbibed too much Shearing Shed Red and is willing to take on the cops.

Well, yes. At least they train regularly with said handguns.

This stuff (light ‘armour’, shields, the fancy M4 impersonations, baton rounds and shotguns configured for bean bag rounds) is hardly ever trained with, let alone used in real time – except, obviously, for this week.

The coppers using this stuff will almost certainly be elements of the Public Order Response Team (PORT), who secretly long to be in the Critical Incident Response Team (CIRT), who are specialist toys-of-this-type buyers and serial bongo van passengers with a reputation for both hardly doing anything themselves and roiding up for the next Special Operations Group (SOG) intake.

And the SOG, while quite all right in most ordinary law enforcement situations are waaaaay out of their depth in both training and expertise for things best left to the ADF’s Special Forces.

Australian Gas Light Company has been watching the gas price in Euroland go through the roof because the Russians now control almost 100% of their supply. And the wind has slowed down lately, necessitating more gas fired power generation. The price graphs are hockeysticks.

“China’s explosive growth and modernization of its nuclear and conventional forces can only be what I describe as breathtaking. Frankly, that word, breathtaking, may not be enough.” — Admiral Charles Richard, Commander of US Strategic Command, Space and Missile Defense Symposium, August 12, 2021.

China has had the ability to make nuclear weapons for over 50 years, and the CIA thinks they have 300+?
Those bomb factories will have been working 24 hour shifts for all that time, and if the Chinese arsenal doesn’t exceed the rest of the world combined I’ll eat my hat.
Remember that these pricks play the long game and if they inhabit a world irradiated back to 100 million people – 95% of them Han Chinese – in 120 years when the Cobalt 60 has run through its second half life, they own the bloody planet.
While they have been building the weapons, we have been looking at the delivery systems.

Great news for AGL shareholders, not so great for NSW electricity consumers. However, gas is GREEN, so that justifies the extra costs.

Sadly my crested pigeon mass-production factory died recently. She was a good friend, who produced so many kiddies in the last seven or eight years that the suburb is awash with her offspring. She turned up one day as a kiddie. With pigeon version of kwashiorkor. She was puffed up in all sorts of odd places like she was wearing a fat suit. After a month of Coles bread she shrank down to normal and became the in-house Cafe crested pigeon.

But finally her dice rolled snake eyes and she was monstered by a peregrine falcon. I actually saw the falcon that day flying overhead, a beautiful bird. Amazingly the pigeon survived the attack, but with injuries and minus her entire tail. Survived two days in pain before something finally took her off. Vale.

Old news to you and I, Cronkite.

How many punters know that gerbiling means a better world?

It may be old news but very few people know this as all that counts with gerbil warmers are costs.

Riddle me this.

I’ve been watching the live feeds since they started this morning. My very first thought was this when the protesters started congregating. Why?

Why are the protesters doing this? It’s absolute stupidity.

They should have protested during the night hours. And all worn black.

Hi Viz strictly prohibited. Total mayhem assured.

So in the last 36 hours it was confirmed that Morrison, Joyce and Guy all stand with Dan. The unipardy doesn’t even see the need to need to pretend anymore.

They stand or fall together.

They know this. Look at how deep they’re into this. These aren’t Stalin’s or Hitlers who rose to power after a decade of taming the fiery forge of revolution and coup. They’re just b-grade australian career retail politicians who woke up one morning and found themselves with unlimited power and have destroyed the country.

Andrews is in charge of their little gang, and is offering them protection only he can give.

Two years ago, I would have rolled my eyes and shaken my head in derision hearing a statement like that.

Yet two years ago, even many years ago, people were warning of these things and being mocked mercilessly for it.

Thankfully some people are now being credit for their foresight.

If you want to be taken seriously, don’t do it. You did it.

Now please, stop traumatising the Nano-Wrigglers and put that Junta away.

Next thing you know, you’ll be trying to pick a fight with Chile, and proclaiming that the Malvinas are yours, at Conscript-point. And you won’t give it up until you have Royal Marines and Paras up your Port Stanley.

And nobody likes the Marines and Paras up their Port Stanley…

Mother Lode:

The argument of convenience over principle. Someone else’s convenience.
I wonder of that would console them if something they were told to do of which it would be inconvenient to oppose turned out to have a deleterious effect.
For my part I have seen over the past year and a half how our governments have stumbled from one blunder to another, still using the solutions now that did not work last year, and stuck with the fact that infection rates are unaffected by vaccine rates.

I think that trying to imbibe the OOD red wine from the Prepper stockpile was a mistake, as well as listening to Tori Amos.
How did we get here?
The pendulum is swinging from tyranny to freedom.

Two Commando were waiting for the word to go. They had built a replica of the Lindt Cafe, and worked out how to storm it – but New South Wales Police were too worried about “hurt face, tilty heads” in certain suburbs of Western Sydney…

“The President of the United States has refused to even acknowledge the 4 newest American astronauts who helped raise hundreds of millions of dollars for St. Jude,” user @rhensing wrote. “What’s your theory on why that is?”

“He’s still sleeping,” Musk responded Sunday afternoon.

As of Monday morning, the White House had yet to comment on the mission, dubbed “Inspiration4,” which marks the first time an all-civilian crew has ever made it to Earth’s orbit.

If it was just Australian politicians doing this, your hypothesis would be close to the mark.
However, the same is being done all round the world. Can you fit that into your explanation?

Delta!

The Shrine is not a place to protest and that it is a sacred place that commemorates those who fought and died for our freedom
If “those who fought and died for our freedom” could be here today I’m sure they’d be pleased to find that their descendants are not squandering that freedom.

I just found out, due to a schism in the family lines, that I had 3 Uncles who gave their lives in the fight against Fascism.
One from the Engineers who defused a bomb in 1946 on a Japanese beach the wrong way, one who died in ’44, and one who died in 45 – 6 weeks before the surrender.
I have known of the branch of the family who were ‘disappeared’ in the Dresden bombings in the same war – refugees from the East.
I am over these pricks who think our families and lives are collateral in their grand vision of the perfectibility of man.
But I don’t want to take the next step until I am provoked beyond endurance.

Time for bed.

Why are the protesters doing this? It’s absolute stupidity.

They’re doing a great job, but the mistakenly believe that there is a whiff of democracy, hence they think visibility is important. On top of that, night ops would give the black turtle wankers and opportunity to use their NVG’s.

Pauline Hanson throws her support behind construction workers refusing mandatory vaccines

Good on her. That also ensures that neither Tony Abbott, nor any other liberal, will support them.

So much for Abbott’s commitment to freedom.

Note the ICCPR. Entered into law by treaty prior to 1986 but made part of the AHRC Act in 1986 (Schedule 2).

Article 7

No one shall be subjected to torture or to cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment.

In particular, no one shall be subjected without his free consent to medical or scientific experimentation.

Are or were AZ or Pfeizer/Moderna ever classed as an experimental drug at all in Australia?

In my opinion, the vaccine mandates are illegal.

Australia is relatively unarmed, thanks to the traitorous Howard.

The big problem isn’t the number of guns, it’s the competence to use them and the mindset that comes with believing that you have a right to be armed.

There are 100,000+ gun owners in Victoria, probably owning an average of three guns each. PORTS 700 AR-15’s are looking quite thin.

I did see that. Piss funny. The rest of the crew behind that jack would have been wondering why he decided to go off the reservation at that time.

Anyone left in VicPol with any sense of humour should by now have christened him ‘McScreamy’, a la Grey’s Anatomy.

This excruciating episode will follow that bloke to the grave, and rightly so.
