Zatara. KD commented on the lack of skills with the shotty last night. I just took a close up look at Rukshans footage, looks like a 12 guage pump action to me

Unmistakable.
The beanbag rounds come out of a standard 12 gauge pump-action shotty, which is what KD was talking about.
Five rounds in a tubular magazine under the barrel, loaded by pumping the left hand back then forward to eject and load.
As KD said, you can pretty much empty a mag pretty quick if you need to.
The point was, an experienced shooter fires, then pumps the next round in using a quick fluid “back-forward” action. The highly skilled operators at the shrine looked like they weren’t familiar with the weapons.
The “OC rounds” come out of something which looks like a glorified paintball gun.

I was wondering why we were seeing lots of Vic Police ‘BearCats’.

The Bearcats have been around for some time. They were initially bought with Federal cash, and every State and Territory got some in the interests of interoperability between States during counter-terrorism operations.

So every State etc’s SOG/TRG or similar got them.

A crew from the SOG in VicPol got their first one, which had arrived, fully assembled and ready to drive, off a freight aircraft from the US (they’re left hand drive, allegedly) which landed at Tullamarine in the middle of the night. The SOG crew were there waiting for it.

They fuelled it and decided to ‘test’ it on the Tulla Freeway back to the City at oh-dark-thirty. Shortly afterwards, and before they even got to Essendon it was on its roof about 50 yards off said freeway.

It is said by some that it was one of the last times a trusted flat-top towie was called at home and used. Cash only, naturally.

Besides, running round brandishing alcohol in public places like that is trés illegal anyway, innit? Yarragrad has all those placards about alcohol-free zones in major public places?

And none of the crowds you (or we remotely) saw, were going around with such things in the open anyway, correct? That’s why you carry an Esky, and bin any rubbish you don’t plan to pack out?

Voluntary voting versus compulsory voting. The turnout at the Canadian election three days ago was roughly 59 percent with some ridings (electorates) with a turnout as low as 37 percent.

There are advantages with voluntary voting but I can also see the merit of compulsory voting.

Yes, I think he was like the top MBA student, then got a job with a prestigious consulting firm, worked in the US for a time and then came here and took over the jam maker in Tassie.
As an insider to a very tiny degree (hearing from the bigwigs) he came within a whisker of succeeding with the buyout. He was selling the brewery to a British brewer and it almost went through but for the protestations from the CFO of the Brit brewer threatening to resign if they bought the beer arm. The sale failed to go through and the rest if history.

Good article, written by Fr. Benedict Kiely

When Pope Francis visited Hungary recently, he couldn’t leave fast enough. But the Hungarian Prime Minister used the occasion to remind the Pontiff that the defense of national borders is neither unprecedented nor “immature.”
(…)
ast year, during an interview with a Hungarian media outlet, the Israeli Ambassador to Hungary, Yacov Hadas-Handelsman, stated that Hungary was practically the only European country in which an observant Jew could walk about freely—“without being afraid of anything.” This echoed the words of the Chief Rabbi of the Hungarian Jewish Congregation, Slomo Koves, who asserted that Hungary was not only not an anti-Semitic country but that it was “probably the safest place at the moment in Europe to be Jewish.”

It was therefore peculiar for Pope Francis to use his extremely short September 12th visit to Hungary—it lasted seven hours—to issue a warning of “lurking” anti-Semitism in Europe.
(…)
Despite attempts by diplomats and officials in both Hungary and the Vatican to counter that perception, there can be no doubt that Pope Francis has little enthusiasm for the policies of the present Hungarian government. Certainly, Pope Francis’ repeated statements regarding mass migration and open borders are in closer alignment with the views of Soros than with Orbán.
(…)
Almost on cue, Pope Francis used his homily in Budapest to criticize, with very little subtlety, Orbán’s government for its strong border controls and refusal to accept the diktats of unelected EU bureaucrats in Brussels, who seem committed to changing the demographics of the sovereign nation-state of Hungary. Francis chided Hungary to “extend its arms to everyone.” That statement ought to be examined critically. While all Catholics are normally bound to give filial obedience and respect towards the successor of St. Peter on matters of faith and morals, that does not extend to Papal pronouncements on politics, science and climate change, or national sovereignty.
(…)
It was therefore a masterful moment of Chutzpah for Orbán to give the Pope, upon his arrival, a bound copy of a letter from Hungarian King Bela IV sent to Francis’ predecessor, Innocent IV, in 1243. At the time, Hungary had just suffered a terrible invasion by the Mongols (from 1241 to 1242) which had devastated the country and killed a quarter of its population. The letter of King Bela—known as the “second founder” of Hungary after St. Stephen—included a description of how Hungary would fortify its borders in anticipation of a second Mongol invasion, and requested Pope Innocent’s support for the project.

He had a chance of selling the finance arm to an American bank and walked. He had several opportunities to consolidate but didn’t. He wanted it all. The problem all those takeover fucks had is that they didn’t know when to stop. They had cash flow from their first takeovers that carried their interest payments because they were able to sell the under-valued assets. And then they go a big head.

I recall that idiot Alan bond buying Channel 9 off Packer. The business had a profit margin of about 2 1/2% while interest rates were in the teens. It was complete madness. He was miles away from profit or cash fl0w being close to cover the interest.

oh, and Tim Pool and Salty -both well worth watching. And that 6 minute twitter feed of that bloke doing the commentary about cops storming The Shrine and firing plastic bullets and pepper(?) spray – really shocking stuff.

All these citizen journalists out on the streets filming it all as well as the missteps from VikPol makes me think that there’s a big turning coming.

Today Credlin had on a media lawyer, I’ve seen him on Sky before. He explained the win in the Court today on the no media fly stuff and how CASA had essentially subbed out their jurisdiction to VicPol – so a Federal Authority decides it’s ok to allow an policing service arm of the regime to misuse its powers. The media were not happy with what it saw as state censorship. Yes, I know, the msm sees it as very much in its purview to decide the censorship stuff, because it’s a bad look when it happens before their narrative has been laid out. Maybe it will want to rub Dan’s nose in it to get back at the overreach.

Then Bolt had Gideon Rozer on his show who said he is truly scared about what is to come and went on to say that what is happening is real police state stuff.

Morrison was very strong yesterday when asked about The Shrine footage – he was disgusted by it, he said. But with more and more stuff coming out – the footage of that bloke at Flinders(?) Street Station being slammed to the ground, which is now being investigated, as is the elderly lady on Saturday being pushed down and pepper sprayed and the body armour black shirts firing at defenceless and non-violent people in the centre of the city – it’s not a good look to have the PM give his support real police brutality.

Morrison has always been very slow to change course but then backs down pretty quickly when things start to smell. After he’s watched and been told a bit more about what’s happening in Melbourne, I think it’s a strong bet that he’ll drop Andrews like the proverbial.

“I didn’t realise it was going to be such a big deal, honestly,” Chief Commissioner Patton said. “I don’t regret the decision, but we probably could have done it better”.

He said the application was made to stop protesters from using live vision from the media chopper above the CBD to avoid police.

“It is allowing them to see, in real time, what our tactics are,” Chief Commissioner Patton said.

They are PROTESTORS not criminals you friggin fascist moron! If they want to avoid a confrontation with your violent thugs more power to them. The only time you have call to use “tactics” against them is if they turn violent – they are called Rioters then.

Yes. Saw that too. They just can’t help themselves, anything they don’t like they invoke Trump, whether it has any real relevance or not. Journo-kiddies, taught to think auto-leftism at uni.

It takes years to get rid of it. Ask me. I know. I think I had fully shaken it off by about 1995.
You could thus call me an early from ‘left to right’ adopter in a very left-wing faculty.
But even in the 60’s, 70’s and 80’s I was pretty skeptical about New-Left feminism and its sisterly aggressions. If like me you were a teenager who enjoyed her feminine teen-years in the 1950’s you couldn’t hack hating men and pretending that biology had nothing to do with being a woman. 🙂

FWIW, Hungary is an eye opener. If you visit Budapest, go and visit the museum of the secret police, see the bullet holes in the walls of the Hungarian Parliament, and thank whatever God you worship that you live in a (relatively) free country.

Scenes of VicPol violence at the protests that require investigation:

. Grandma toppled, head cracked, and facially pepper-sprayed (investigation underway)
. Man slumped against doorway out-of-action, but still being facially pepper-sprayed
. Man at railway station simply standing talking being side-tackled, head cracked as he was floored
. Woman running away with a group of men, chased by VicPol, floored with massive push by VicPol as she was running, so momentum to the ground was extreme; woman was specifically targetted
. Group of protesters being crash-tackled by numerous VicPol thugs, beaten and piled on while down
. Man at car simply talking with VicPol being surprise-ambushed, head cracked as floored, and set upon by goons in some sort of heavy-duty army-type fatigues – who were they, under what authority?

And this is just stuff I have seen without really trying to keep up.
God knows what else went on that is still on record, or that was never recorded.
Witness statements need to taken asap to help these injured people, recorded incidents or not.

Australia’s reputation has been internationally besmirched.
Our media’s complicity and our politicians’ ignorant commentary disgrace us all.
As does our communal seeming willingness to accept this tyranny in the false name of health.

Australia’s reputation has been internationally besmirched.

The one word that has always be associated with Australia is egalitarian.

Whenever the left want to guilt us into some communist shit, they use the line they we are losing this characteristic. Australian writers and journalists fawn over the fact that Australians sit in the front seat of taxis, etc.

With what appears to be >50% of the Australian populace wanting to relegate a portion of their fellow citizens to tier two status, I’m thinking that this ‘egalitarian’ myth has been run over by a BearCat.

In fact, Australia better get used to the fact that may of the myths which drew people towards Australians, and Australia, have contracted have been demolished. Tourism, investment basic on low sovereign risk, etc. Our brand has been completely destroyed. Just one of the numerous consequences my grandchildren are going to feel.

As an aside, those SOGGIES (how appropriate) were wearing flight suits. Mainly because the SAS wear flight suits whilst during counter terrorism training. Always the wannabes. Tough men trouncing an unarmed population, who are seeking no more accommodation that the basic right to leave their homes, provide for their children, visit their families, and not be the subject of a medical experiment.

SOG members, you are weak as piss. Go back to getting your jollies bashing iced up criminals who are brandishing butter knifes. Real heroes defend Australians, not get off of telling them what to do…or laying the boot into them. They drive around in open top vehicles in Afghanistan, not armoured vehicles in Flinders St.

Actually, and on the subject of trouncing unarmed populations:

This week’s festivities started with, and starred the CFMEU throughout.

Construction workers. Who, when they’re not at the pub, work on construction sites. Which means that they have access to virtually unlimited stocks of edged weapons, blunt weapons, percussive weapons and throwing weapons. Otherwise known as tools.

I wonder what would have happened if the CFMEU types, when showing up to these protests, had intended to cause VicPol harm, instead of yelling at them and running them ragged?

The deployment of these coppers in all that light armour and shields, not to mention OC pepperball firearms is a partial attempt to justify their very expensive purchase in any event. If the union blokes had displayed any sort of actual bad intentions, the dressed-up effeminate milquetoasts that make up VicJack Inc in this day and age would have been routed in five minutes.

Their self-designated and deserved sense of elitism led to them refusing to have anything to do with pinching Gargasoulas, despite them being a block away, with an armed Gargasoulas parked nose first in a car park with warrants for his arrest and having got up to blade-related mischief all that day.

Yesterday we walked down to Watson’s Bay Doyle’s to pick up lunch and eat it on the local tables there. It’s a very fave spot for many people with the vista from the park and beach down the harbour to the city, so it was fairly busy, but not what you’d call packed. I did the purchasing at the counter open to the air, and completely forgot to put on a mask. I was still served politely. Hairy laughed at me being the only one in the queue who was maskless, and the queue was the only place where people were wearing masks at all. In retaliation I said you wait for the order and I’ll go search for a table, for most seemed full. He pointed me to some little round tables set over a metre apart on the edge of the pub, so I walked towards one obviously intending to sit at it. Grumpy man with mask around his neck said that’s not 1.5 metres away, so I backed off to look at a spare table of the same sort a bit further up, past two young blokes chatting. It was the same distance from them as the one I first chose was from grumpy. You can sit there, that’s fine by us say this maskless pair. We start chatting and Hairy arrives with the food, complaining that a Karen had appeared from the citizenry and was trying to boss those waiting for the food pick up to put masks on for that too. People seem to have told her to get lost, as she wasn’t official, just officious.

So the Grumps and Karens are still around. Always will be I expect. We had a great chat with the young blokes about the prospects of overseas travel and the horrors of hotel quarantine.

Ditto for NSW Working with Children Cards get arrested & charged – card revoked. Even if charges are dropped or you are found not guilty in a court, the Children’s Commissioner can take their sweet time restoring it after doing their own investigation.

A chap at a neighbouring school got in trouble with NSWPlod whilst drunk when he was at Uni, but was never convicted. 2o or so years later he lost the card when it showed up after the rule change & he was suspended without pay for 2 years while the CC did its thing.

I told her I support the protests but you never upload stuff like that onto social media. It comes back to my thread of last week about “privacy”……people, especially young people, don’t understand the importance of privacy and that it isn’t necessary to gloat about everything they do on social media. Maybe, since we’re now a police state, people will be more mindful of privacy and secrecy.

Steve Kirsch – The wheels are about to come off

Thus, our extremely conservative estimate for risk-benefit ratio is about 5/1. In plain English, people in the 65+ demographic are five times as likely to die from the inoculation as from COVID-19 under the most favorable assumptions! This demographic is the most vulnerable to adverse effects from COVID-19. As the age demographics go below about 35 years old, the chances of death from COVID-19 become very small, and when they go below 18, become negligible.

It should be remembered that the deaths from the inoculations shown in VAERS are short-term only (˜six months for those inoculated initially), and for children, extremely short-term (˜one month) [3]. Intermediate and long-term deaths remain to be identified, and are possible from ADE, autoimmune effects, further clotting and vascular diseases, etc., that take time to develop. Thus, the long-term cost-benefit ratio under the best-case scenario could well be on the order of 10/1, 20/1, or more for all the demographics, increasing with decreasing age, and an order-of-magnitude higher under real-world scenarios! In summary, the value of these COVID-19 inoculations is not obvious from a cost-benefit perspective for the most vulnerable age demographic, and is not obvious from any perspective for the least vulnerable age demographic.

The quote is from the linked study. Something else to completely ignore.

Thanks as always, Tom. Helping keep me sane. Although the increasingly distressing sleeplessness says otherwise.

Given the lack of sleep over the past 30 years due to other reasons – over the last couple of years it’s even worse when it should be getting better thank heavens for some comic relief- love Johannes Leak’s bespectacled, jug-eared, pink-arsed King Kong depiction of Dictator Dan –

Our lawyer son says that’s what he intends to do if nabbed, citing that 30% figure and clogged Courts.

Don’t get in harm’s way, Hairy advises, or you could lose your Practicing Certification.

Son says he is beginning not to care. Sick of lockdowns and their social effects. He’ll take whatever they throw at him in order to make his voice heard. Young hothead, Hairy says to me, forgetting how hotheaded he was when we first met. Very ‘Cat Stevens’ old to young between those two. 🙂

Interesting that the Working with Children card comes up on the same day that many here have commented on the deterioration of trust in the police.

A couple of months ago I did my WWC for a pastoral position. Passed with flying colours, except for one question. If I thought a child was at immediate risk, what would I do? There was no option called “hop in your car, go to the house in question and remove the child”, so I said contact my immediate superior.

Apparently the correct answer was “contact the police”. I found that very telling about my own, quite recent, mindset.

Megan here was noticing sleep disturbance too, Tinta, and so am I. Others too I suspect.

Going to bed tired but angry doesn’t help. I fade straight off in exhaustion but then find myself awake five or six hours later still mulling over my various outrages, and so I get up rather than anguish away. Then mid-afternoon I need a nap, which I hate taking, because I like my days to be days and my nights to be nights. Eight hours straight sleep happens for me now only about half the time.

Hairy says it must be hormones (wot men always say) so go back on oestrogen. I think maybe this time he’s right. I went off it for the big operation and AZ jabs but will now resume transdermal dose.

I also think once sleep deprived with children (and adult children and grandchildren) a woman gets into a pattern of expecting sleep deprivation. We have to start being kinder to ourselves and doing less, imho. Germaine Greer once said that post-menopausal women across the ages have always been ‘up betimes’, tending to the morning fires and stirring the porridge for the extended family. We still are doing that tending, metaphorical porridge though it may be now.

A young woman in my office attended the Sydney protest at the end of July. She foolishly uploaded pictures of herself at the protest on social media…..Instragram. Someone dobbed her into the the police, she got a knock on the door and she’s been fined $1,000. She says she’s going to fight it. Good luck to her. I told her I support the protests but you never upload stuff like that onto social media. It comes back to my thread of last week about “privacy”……people, especially young people, don’t understand the importance of privacy and that it isn’t necessary to gloat about everything they do on social media. Maybe, since we’re now a police state, people will be more mindful of privacy and secrecy.

And yet this boastfully politically active character, daily, publicly abuses me for not “PROVING” who I, my children & grandchildren are, then tops it off with calling me a liar for protecting the identity of me & mine?

Sancho – the bobcats were needed to help dispose of the ginormous mounds of rubbish and excrement left at the Shrine by the extreme right wing anti-vaxx rioters after they’d been peacefully apprehended or moved on by VikPol.

And from WA – McClown is now demanding 90% jabs before opening up the state border (?) – heard some idiot yabbering on about it, not sure if it was McClown or the chief medico. Take out quote: “The more you comply, the freer you’ll be”.
