It was Catholicism that surrendered it’s entitlement to compel worship that directly led to worship of the state. A vacuum is ALWAYS filled.

I think it was the welfare state taking over Christian charity that did it. Led to marrying the government. So the sad sacks who couldn’t organise their own lives competently formed an alliance with the political class. A coalition of losers.

No sweat Muddy. Don’t worry about not understanding all of it. The workings of the brain are so mysterious attempts at understanding it often amount to desperate guesses. A neuroscientist told me decades ago that we’re still very much at the “butterfly collecting” stage of research. It hasn’t changed much since then and the findings of people missing huge chunks of the brain yet being functional call for an explanation goes way beyond our current ideas about brain function.

Vanuatu is asking the International Court of Justice (ICJ) to issue an opinion on present and future generations’ right to be protected from climate change.

Vanuatu, with a population of some 280,000 people spread across roughly 80 islands, is among more than a dozen Pacific island nations facing rising sea levels and more regular storms that can wipe out much of their economies.

Faaark! According to our Bureau of Meteorology they have every reason to be worried.

Wiki:

The highest point in Vanuatu is Mount Tabwemasana, at 1,879 metres (6,165 ft), on the island of Espiritu Santo.

Might be a while before they are submerged. I’m sure more money will help though.

Remember over 35 years ago when blokes were clearing land in the hinterland of Coffs Harbour to develop Nashi Fruit farms to sell to investors as a tax dodge .
They had trouble with the local aboriginals because some rocks had been identified as having aboriginal rock paintings.

Yes, I think you are right. Furthermore, who was to know that at that time, the church was being infiltrated by the very evil it sought to protect against. The clergy who could have stood up to the state were compromised by kiddy fiddlers and were distracted from defending the faith. They were too busy defending themselves or colleagues.
What should have happened, was the offenders should have been denounced to the faithful, stripped of their position and handed to the state for punishment. Then the clergy would have been free to use the pulpit to denounce the infringement of the state into Christian affairs. Remember, at the time, most people went to church on Sunday.

Perhaps The Age knows comments will in the similar vibe, no surprises on the cowardice though. Gotta tow the line, Dan’s the man and all that…

Yes, few things are done for only one reason, particularly in this, ‘kill the truth’ stage of what is still largely an information war.

As bad as direct terror & ‘othering’ people is, there’s an even more demoralising tactic in the strategy of breaking down will, that cruel mockery of –

“So what that you have popular support, so what that the world knows, we can still shut you all up and no body is going to come to your rescue.”

When they actively parade The People Heroes and effectively, ‘slit their throat’, we are at that stage.

In Chicago on Saturday, a boy named Kaden Ingram was confronted by his mother, Fallon Harris, because he didn’t know where a digital memory card had been left, according to prosecutors. When he couldn’t produce the card, she shot him, they say. Then she took a phone call.

Afterward, Harris returned to her wounded son and asked again for the card. He still didn’t know where it was, so she allegedly shot him a second time. Kaden died at the University of Chicago Medical Center. He was 12. Chicago is on pace this year to have the most homicides in a quarter-century, with at least 60 people shot, seven fatally, last weekend alone.

A reality check…. for overly romantic rose-coloured glass-wearing Cats: no offence intended..

1) The Police in Australia has always been a – often corrupt – force for the protection of the power elites.
The fact that ordinary people – and many Cats – actually believe that they exist for their protection shows an amazing naivety, ?bred from complacency?, ?a cultural curio?, ?amnesia of early convict history?.
I don’t know exactly why, but it seems to be a quaint feature of the Anglo-Saxon mindset. NZ, Canada and the UK are afflicted by the same belief. US and Europe… not so much.
Many, myself included, are totally unsurprised by the way the fuckers have behaved in the last 3 months. Just one small, highly visible part of the slow, gradual, remorseless descent into a fascist state.
The clincher here is the silence, the clear support of the political, judicial, legal, institutional and media classes for what is happening under the patently false excuse of a health “emergency”.
Instead of holding politicians and bureaucracies to account, the MSM have been running cover for the actions of the various Governments. A fifth column, propaganda arm that knows on which side their bread is buttered.

2) The belief, often stated, that the Police have lost trust that will take years to regain..
Romanticised bollocks.
Fact: If you believe cops are there for your protection, you’ll still support them after this is over. They only acted to protect us, after all. What was wrong with that?
… Most Australians will believe this.
If you didn’t trust cops before the lockdowns, you’ll continue to view them as the armed, dumb bullies they’ve always been.
… A minority view, amplified by social media in the current environment.

3) Passive, mass disobedience, non-payment or contestation of fines, peaceful demonstrations and other acts of peaceful “resistance” will achieve nothing of substance.
The division of society (vaxed vs. non-vaxed) and the fomenting of community mistrust is working a treat to protect the future of the Uniparty.
Future elections will show that nothing of significance will change. Canada is just the latest example. Also lookout for the old classic: “Lessons have been learnt!” Lip-service has never been easier.

Oh, and try to avoid paying fines.. you’ll likely be slapped with interest and recovery costs, if you’re lucky. Or you’ll be stopped at the airport passport control on the way to your next overseas trip.
All that Palantir, Five-Eyes and 5G technology isn’t there just for kicks!

4) As history has taught us, and as some Cats have also pointed out, the human need to control is a malignant constant. It must be resisted by all freedom-conscious citizens, by force if necessary.
Paraphrasing what someone wrote some days ago:
Hitler wasn’t defeated by the forces of rhetoric, reason, ridicule and sarcasm.
It’s so easy and convenient to believe otherwise.

A bit like believing the police are there for your protection.

You’re welcome.

An old friend said to me that when he sees a meta-analysis he reaches for his gun. The above is one reason why. It is very time consuming to examine the raw data and it is a pain that the quality of research is often so parlous that needs to be done. Unfortunately all too often meta-analyses do not dig that deep.

Okay so far the left have beat up a few of the studies.

So you might have 63 studies left from 65.

That’s still very, very good.

This is bullshit though.

Let’s see the left come clean about COVID deaths for example; let alone show the same level of scrutiny to any other pharmaceutical agent.

You and I both know it isn’t going to happen.

There is no fake data as far as I know in the IVM studies.

If that’s valid I can assume all COVID deaths recorded under the veil of privacy or incentives for healthcare funding are ALL fake.

You don’t know if the authors of the study were leftists.

We don’t know how many studies were flawed so stop choosing numbers to suit your desired outcome.

The fake data was uncovered from the IPD data, which you do not have access to so your knowledge of this is irrelevant.

The JoNova so called meta-analysis went around the world and many embraced it as proof. As soon as I looked at the summary I knew it was suspect so I sampled a few studies. One was a case report, another a phone survey, and in others the figures claimed in the meta-analysis did not match the conclusions in the study. Two possible conclusions. The people who created that meta-analysis didn’t have the faintest clue about what they were doing or the people were deliberately fabricating the evidence.

Yet people here thought it was the duck’s guts of meta-analyses. I did find one good quality meta-analysis from a good journal that found “moderate quality” evidence and even the Cochrane Review called for more studies. If people applied the same level of cynicism to studies supporting ivermectin as those against it they might realise that it is not only their opponents who are corrupting the research.

The church surrender happened that fateful day some time the end of February 2020. In one church, by 5pm that afternoon, despite the scheduled Mass and Evening Prayer for that hour, the doors were locked, the gates were barred, and so they have remained. Communication from any number of official sources is that the civic and church leaders are together working to ensure that the ‘roadmap’ succeeds.
The new sacred text.
Let it be anathema.

Makka,
I will say again, this is a country built on democracy. We should never lose sight of what we have/had. To do so, is to let the politicians and bureaucrats off the hook and means that the only way forward is to compromise: the that-was-then-this-is-now stuff, can’t be allowed to stand.

Every day and every minute of every day we need to remind ourselves of what they have done to us.

. If people applied the same level of cynicism to studies supporting ivermectin as those against it they might realise that it is not only their opponents who are corrupting the research.

No, you missed the point.

They only care because it is against the narrative.

Apply the standards to ALL research and data collection (particularly of COVID related deaths) – no, this isn’t going to happen.

That is why we know they are leftists.

We don’t know how many studies were flawed so stop choosing numbers to suit your desired outcome.

Which means – we don’t know anything and the public health orders have no merit and medicine should be unlicensed.

I am puzzled that the “fraud” ( was it actually fraud ???) can be identified but we can’t say how many studies are valid or invalid. Or that the quantification of that doesn’t matter.

Yet people here thought it was the duck’s guts of meta-analyses. I did find one good quality meta-analysis from a good journal that found “moderate quality” evidence and even the Cochrane Review called for more studies.

Dude. The Cochrane Review isn’t much better. It is as corruptible as any human institution. There really isn’t a better guide than your own judgement.

It is the same here. Comment against the narrative and people discount your opinion. It’s a common failing.

We don’t the basis of the claims but the article was about the bods who did get the data and found fraud.

The public health orders are guesswork. Not my problem, I live in Qld. It is you lot down stuck there with the dunderheads issuing all those orders. Yesterday Qld announced a relaxation of mask use.

Yet people here thought it was the duck’s guts of meta-analyses. I did find one good quality meta-analysis from a good journal that found “moderate quality” evidence and even the Cochrane Review called for more studies.

Dude. The Cochrane Review isn’t much better. It is as corruptible as any human institution. There really isn’t a better guide than your own judgement.

The Cochrane Review was much better than those making assertions for or against based on the available data. I don’t like meta-analyses and fortunately I didn’t have to read them that much. Unfortunately our own judgement is often very limited by the data available to us and without access to primary data we have to trust the integrity of people. I don’t like that. It is not at all uncommon for researchers to provide the primary data and when the request is refused it is right to be suspicious and the absence of that data is sufficient reason to not include the study in a meta-analysis. I have previously supported the use of ivermectin in specific circumstances and I agree with Cochrane that ivermectin should not be abandoned because it may have utility. Cochrane Reviews are far superior to that tripe meta-analysis which didn’t even include methods of analysis, criteria for data inclusion, and the search strategy.

People too often confuse glamour as charisma.
I’m not one for glamour but happy to say my dearest friend has very wisely used charisma.

charisma
noun: charisma; plural noun: charismata
1.
compelling attractiveness or charm that can inspire devotion in others.
2.
a divinely conferred power or talent.

mid 17th century (in charisma (sense 2)): via ecclesiastical Latin from Greek kharisma, from kharis ‘favour, grace’.

Then we get into the glamourous, so well described by Terry Pratchett –

“Elves are wonderful. They provoke wonder.
Elves are marvellous. They cause marvels.
Elves are fantastic. They create fantasies.
Elves are glamorous. They project glamour.
Elves are enchanting. They weave enchantment.
Elves are terrific. They beget terror.
The thing about words is that meanings can twist just like a snake, and if you want to find snakes look for them behind words that have changed their meaning.
No one ever said elves are nice.
Elves are bad.”

? Terry Pratchett, Lords and Ladies

… and unlike charisma, a gift to aid in doing great things well, glamour is basically hypnotic sex magic, you know, the deceptive work of the other one –

I think it was the welfare state taking over Christian charity that did it. Led to marrying the government.

I agree, once the catholic church took government grants, subsidies etc for schools, charities and hospitals they became beholden to government. If the churches kowtow to the government on who can and cannot receive the sacraments, or go to church activities they are basically no better than the “catholic church” in China, which obeys the dictates of the government.

I have to admit at being shocked at the churches lack of fight back to support the spiritual wellbeing of the faithful. I guess we really need some one like Dr Mannix, but unfortunately he was a man from another era, today we have weaklings in charge of virtually all our institutions. Too many clergy are too afraid to stand up and be counted. Cardinal Pell proved that.

I really hate alarmists; they’re either stupid useful idiots or lying spivs and commies.

Embrace the power of “and”.

“Our democracy is a fkg facade, a construct. Just like our so-called “freedom”.”

Correct…..we no longer live in a democracy. As I wrote earlier…every single Australian should gather outside the offices of their local MP as well as media outlets and scream, shout and throw chairs and bricks…just like what was done last Monday.

Hey Mr Tambourine Man …

I had to sing that at school. No thanks.

Can’t beat this Church song.

Something which has been bugging me for twenty years: on the night of 31 Dec 2000 someone governmental commissioned a musical accompaniment to a bunch of floating lit-up sculpture thingies on Sydney Harbour. It was fascinating, and wonderful, on TV midnight at the turn of the century. I think it was The Church who did the music, or maybe Crowded House. It was awesome, but I’ve never been able to find a video on line. Anyone recall this?

Yah, as a kid Cassie. And the others. Voyage to Venus I found extremely irritating, so much so that I’ve never had the urge to reread the trilogy. I like Genesis 3, but not for that many pages.

Good Omens is an interesting book, since Pratchett and Gaiman orbit the Bible like moths around a flame. I don’t subscribe to Amazon Prime or Netflix, but the TV series of Good Omens is a serious temptation to do so.

George Christensen has sent me a newsletter advising that he will hold a livestream video session on Monday with a legal expert and an industrial relations expert to help people who are being pressured by their employer to get the jab.

The big news is I am planning a livestream video session at 3.30pm on Monday 27 September 2021 primarily aimed at informing those who are facing ‘No Jab, No Job’ demands by their employers (or by State Governments). Joining me in the livestream will be a legal expert and an industrial relations expert. You can connect to via my Facebook page or in the YouTube link below or the embedded video:

This might be of some interest to several people here with concerns about their employment.

I couldn’t get into the voyage to Venus book. I read Out of the Silent Planet but it left me cool.

But That Hideous Strength is a great book. Even George Orwell – who hated CSL – gave it a good review.

Yup, been there done that. Music in Year 9, wince.
We did get to sing a few from the Beatles though, which was OK. Not this one but:

A Day In The Life

I was delayed in putting this vid up. There was much bouncing on my tin roof. Went outside. After a long pause newest brushtail kiddie appeared, despite the rain. They hate rain. But he appeared over the guttering of the roof and accepted a bit of bread, then a little later a piece of carrot. He was happy. A good day in the life of a possum kiddie.
