As I said, comparison is a relative game and in comparison the Armenian gal is doing better than the rest of the authoritarian douchebags.

Head prefect, both you and BBS are correct. In pure terms BBS is right: gladys has betrayed her principles and in pure political terms is not worth voting for.

However politics is a relative game; and you are right, compared to something like the hunchback, or palachook or that prick in WA/SA she is relatively better.

Politics is the art of holding your nose while you support people who in a fair and just world you would feed to the pigs. But it ain’t a fair or just world.

cohenite, Gladys has betrayed more than her principles: she’s betrayed those who voted for her party and its policies. That betrayal seems to boil down to not wanting to be seen as a “bad smell” at the “National Cabinet” and/or the need to give the PM cover because of the vaccine roll-out, rather than properly represent her constituents.

On the “relative” argument: residents of NSW have no power to deal with Pileofshit (h/t Diogenes), Dan Xi-man, etc. At the state level the only vote they get is in NSW. So there’s no way to make valid comparisons of each premier with another – what those other “leaders” do or fail to do is the responsibility of the electors of their own states and without any input from elsewhere.

Of course, people can vote with their feet – JC could always move to NSW if he thinks Gladys is worth the trouble, though methinks he’ll head back to that hell hole of New York the first chance he gets, which possibly may turn out post pandemic to be even worse than Melbourne.

The “relative” game standard also risks Liberal voters accepting the Liberals’ usual shtick of “at least we’re better that the Liars.” Holding one’s nose and voting them back in for that reason will see more and more Photios Liberals such as Gladys and Matt Kean become stronger and stronger rather than the shakedown to thin the ranks of these LINO.

And if we take your final point to its logical end, we would all be supporting Morrison likely taking a zero emissions target to Glasgow because “it’s not a fair and just world.” On that standard we may as well give up voting altogether and go for a dictatorship – it’ll say us time and money.

“While people can choose not to get vaccinated against Covid-19, businesses are equally free to choose not to permit them entry,” he says.

Notice the word “choose”. If businesses are free to choose whether or not to permit people entry, then how on earth can there be a vaccine passport? What about those businesses who choose not to discriminate?

Australia’s new $100b submarine could be a waste of money

We might not even be able to find enough crew for the subs. Even the USA currently has that problem. If WW2 is any guide subs are destroyed all too frequently. Even a nuke sub once detected is in a world of trouble. Stealth is great unless you have to attack something, then they know where you are and then it is much easier to detect you. Perhaps we’d be better off buying huge loads of missiles and some more aircraft rather than just the F 35. The B1B Lancers would be very useful down under.

Discrimination law expert Liam Elphick agrees, stating that “choosing not to be vaccinated against Covid-19” is not a “protected attribute” in discrimination law.

Oh good, so sophistry works with discrimination ‘law’.

I’m not banning gays, I’m banning people who go to gay bars. I’m not banning muslims, I’m banning people who don’t eat pork and people who have strange beards.

QLD discrimination law covers politics but, you know, that vast apparatus is all only designed to be used to ‘protect’ the classes of people that the ruling class are using as a battering ram at any given moment.

All enduring great families have ’emergency spares’ stashed around unexpected places.

e.g. remember when Mary Donaldson’s father got pissed at the wedding and said – not an exact quote –

‘the last time our families met we drove them out of Scotland’

– but what he said, the way he said it and the murmur it caused was even more telling of the old memories of old families.

Business’s couldn’t ‘choose’ to discriminate on vaccination status if the government wasn’t going to the ends of the earth to make a vast complex technological system and outing our private medical details for anyone to demand to see (without permission) and throwing the force of the state behind businesses to muscle us if we say no.

Also Gladys has loudly been running around telling NSW that businesses are not allowed to serve unvaccinated people.

The lies coming out of the mouths of Morrison and Gladys et al about this stuff are like nothing I have ever witnessed in this country. He is the worst advertisement for Christianity you could possibly ever imagine. He’s diabolical viewed from any angle, as PM, as a ‘christian’ as a representative for christianity, he is utter filth, has he been possessed? Is his family being held hostage? Is he being blackmailed? Or is he just evil.

In NSW the anti-discrimination laws states that no-one can be discriminated against for having, had, may have an infectious disease or if others think that a person has an infectious disease. No-one may be discriminated if a person knows someone in that situation. The Federal law is under the heading disability.

the actual german law from the above article – coming to a fascist state near you

Rules against hatred on the net – the Network Enforcement Act
The law to improve law enforcement in social networks (Network Enforcement Act – NetzDG) ??has been in force since October 1, 2017.

The law aims to combat hate crime, criminal fake news and other criminal content on social network platforms more effectively . These include, for example, insults, defamation, defamation, public incitement to criminal offenses, sedition, depictions of violence and threats. In order to encourage the social networks to deal more quickly and comprehensively with complaints, especially from users, about hate crime and other criminal content, the NetzDG introduced legal compliance rules for social networks.

This includes a statutory reporting obligation for providers of social networks on the handling of hate crime and other criminal content, requirements for maintaining an effective complaint management system and for the appointment of a domestic authorized recipient. Violations of these obligations can be punished with fines against the company and the supervisors. In addition, victims of personal rights violations online are given the opportunity to obtain the data on the infringers from the service providers on the basis of a court order.

A potential problem for China losing personnel is that nearly all will come from one child families so there will be a lot of angry older adults whose family line has been lost so they will have nothing to lose in taking on the government.

As someone in my family used to say

Salvatore, Understaffed & Overworked Martyr to Border Closure

I’m not sure the visit has made it to wider public knowledge. My source is direct from people on the ground in his hometown.

Cheers, even he hasn’t mentioned it yet.

He’ll be unlikely to. For obvious reasons.
It’s all the staff here can talk about. They’ve no idea what goes on outside their own ethnic community, & possess a stupefying lack of knowledge about Australian politics, but they know when one of their own is being put under pressure.

It’d have to be coming from the political class (a group in lockstep with MSM), who have some clout.

Once I’d have laughed it off as fake news, an over-egged pudding, or a mistranslation.

That was before the days of countless videos where trios of cops make unannounced home visits to people to enquire about their (bland) social media comments & ‘are you going to a protest tomorrow, or have you ever in the past protested anything?’
I’ve had such a visit myself – I now readily accept that route would be used, i.e. to pressure Rukshan via his family (in a country where the cops make Vicplod look like Dixon of Dock Green)

Rukshan’s crimes are manifold:
Had more eyeballs on his live feed than the MSM’s daytime ‘live’ coverage
Has a higher trust level among the proles than MSM. He gets cheered & offered water, they get urinated on & heckled so they can’t do a piece-to-camera in the field.

Worst of all: He’s showing video on a live feed (i.e. unedited & as it happens to occur in front of him) that is inconsistent with the MSM/Dan/ScomowhostandswithDan narrative.

A man and woman from Box Hill North have been charged after the incident in which a dog was allegedly set upon people at a park on Grosvenor Street at Blackburn North on Thursday afternoon.

The 44-year-old man is charged with two counts of wilfully urging a dog to attack and one of affray while the 35-year-old woman is charged with two counts of unlawful assault and one of affray.

“Two male good Samaritans were also injured during the incident after being bitten on the hand by a dog,” police said in a statement.

I blame little johnnie, Australia’s worst PM as much for what he did not do as what he did do. Howard’s broad church has been the doom of the lnp: any organisation which does not specifically and unequivocally declare it is conservative will inevitably be infiltrated by the left. By not abolishing the abc after Tampa when he had large majorities, by not recognising turdball and his supporters for what they were and for not fighting the cultural wars and rabbiting on about feeling fucking comfortable, howard is the chamberlain of Australian conservatism.

So what can be done; is there any hope in the lnp: most of their overtly conservative members -Kelly, Christensen, Flint- are leaving. Is there any conservatism left: Canavan, Rennick, Antic, Chandler, Stoker, Dutton and maybe Price after the next election.

Compare that admittedly small % of the LNP with any worthwhile members of the liars and filth: ziltch, SFA.

Sure you can vote minority in the senate, and should, but even if fatboy and Kelly do get a candidate in every seat before the next election voting for them is pixie dust.

So, what do you do. I’ll discuss that in the next post and after my takeaway gourmet hamburger from Trinity Point.

WTF. What are “desirable bloodlines” Nong? Is is the “master race”…..is that what you desire?

You’re a disgrace.

Now why am “I” a “disgrace” every time you choose to put your racist coloured edits to anything I post about?
the work arounds of the white Australia policy for those who didn’t qualify“, clearly means they were NOT of the stock that those running the country & still heavily aligned with Mosley’s mobs and other eugenicists didn’t want us mixing with and yet secret missions & other work arounds did bring those family members in.

Remember, I was talking about Old Families who did mix & mingle & keep track of each other over hundreds & thousands of years, and if you weren’t a racist you wouldn’t automatically jump to thinking that meant only one race of old families.

Surely, being a Jew you understand how much stock many old families put in recording their family lines.

Just like my Vietnamese & South Korean in laws families are also carefully recorded.
They’re good families. I love them dearly and even with translations slowing down conversations, sitting around the table, eating, drinking & laughing with those branches of my family is very much like those gatherings around a Ukrainian family table.
We all have histories of great struggles & survival against ‘impossible’ odds that very much makes us family in common spirit.

You know Jacob bred up a better flock from his father in laws rejects because he bred for character, not ‘blood’.
Those rough sheep that didn’t spook from the sticks around the water holes were better doers than the scatty ‘higher’ bred.
Yep, even in animal breeding, Spirit Trumps Blood, and God cared to have that fact of life recorded for us also.

The Oxford AstraZenica Covid-19 vaccine was trialed in just 23,000 people, and the Pfizer BioNTech vaccine in 44,000. Am I reading that correctly?

Apart from the following (which doesn’t seem to answer its own question), I’ve found nothing on this supposedly authoritative website (Uni of Oxford Vaccine Knowledge Project – approved by the WHO, apparently), about how Covid-19 vaccines affect the transmission of the virus:

Does the Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccine stop transmission, or stop you getting ill?

The trial was designed to show whether the vaccine prevents you from getting ill; we will continue to gather data on asymptomatic infection, and other outcomes.The results of the trial so far (interim results) did show that the vaccine prevented people from getting severe COVID-19. There were no cases of severe COVID-19 in participants who had the vaccine, and there were two cases in participants who had the control or placebo vaccines.

“While people can choose not to get vaccinated against Covid-19, businesses are equally free to choose not to permit them entry,” he says.

Can we please have some clarity about this vaccine passport regime. If this isn’t instituted by the government, why would businesses institute this system themselves?

But we’ve had no clarity around any of this, from the get go.

They knew they had to keep it all a moving target, behind a lead wall, in heavy fog, so that we couldn’t get clear aim to shoot the lying bastards down.

The ‘special’ people being allowed to ignore mask & other rules was one thing, but people still locked down & out of society are going to be far less forgiving of those who can also get away with ignoring ‘passport’ rules, so super foggy & fast moving ‘rules’ are for ‘the safety’ of the ‘special’ people as they finish building these ‘personal gulags’ around us.

The obsession with promoting the jab is pathological. It’s not being pushed at this level of insanity for any simple reason such as refusing to back down. It certainly isn’t for health reasons. I don’t know why it’s being done, but I’m sure it isn’t for the benefit of the jabees.

An unpleasant thought, but perhaps the relentless push to get people injected quickly is to ensure that it happens before the long term effects manifest themselves. Just look at the the figures from Israel following the third jab. If the media were not completed controlled this would be enough to end the whole thing.

If they get the vaccine passport up this will be forced on anyone wishing to maintain it’s validity and thereby their access to “normal” life.

Those are defined classes twostix and vaccination won’t be there. “Medical status” is far too vague, it needs to relate to a specific pathology.

Oh good, so sophistry works with discrimination ‘law’.

exactly. Identifying as another sex is a choice; that’s specifically covered by the various acts.

I think the angle for non-vaxxed discrimination lies under the “Disability” portions of the acts.

eg: in NSW (and I also think federally).

Firstly..

disability means—
..
(b) the presence in a person’s body of organisms causing or capable of causing disease or illness, or
..

49A Disability includes past, future and presumed disability
A reference in this Part to a person’s disability is a reference to a disability—
..
(d) that a person will have in the future, or that it is thought a person will have in the future (whether or not the person in fact will have the disability).

So you can’t discriminate against someone who has covid, or someone who might get covid, or someone who has had covid.

After Barnaby Joyce successfully challenged Michael McCormack for the deputy prime ministership in June 2021, Chester was sacked by Joyce from Cabinet, with his place taken by fellow Victorian National Bridget McKenzie. Chester publicly criticised Joyce as “incoherent” in the wake of his sacking, which also contributed to an unsuccessful move by State MPs in the Victorian Nationals to disaffiliate from the Federal Nationals in protest. Further tension in the federal party was fuelled by Chester’s comments in favour of the Greens/Labor policy to achieve net zero carbon emissions by 2050. However, some of Chester’s constituents in his Gippsland electorate, which includes the Latrobe Valley coal industry, criticised him for neglecting the coal sector and for having a tantrum over his sacking

Babylon, the “Daughter of Babylon” to the Prophets, or Mega Babylon, “Babylon the Great” to John, believes that it controls the seven continents (the seven “hora”, translated as seven “mountains” in most Bible translations), China’s abandonment of the NWO/Babylon indicates that Babylon is about to fall.

The destruction of Babylon will bring about some reprieve from the petty dictators presently plaguing us, but unfortunately bigger problems lie ahead, for thence commences the time period known as “Jacob’s troubles”. Jacob’s descendants live in two distinct groups, the House of Judah (the Jews) and the much larger House of Israel who occupy the Anglo sphere, western Europe and Scandinavia.

So sometime in the future, in our travails at that time, we may look back and remember with fondness “the good old days” under Chairman Dan or that incompetent buffoon Scott Morrison.

the actual german law from the above article – coming to a fascist state near you

Yep and remember how many people said, “Good, Mark Meechan should be jailed for posting that Nazi Pug!”

It didn’t matter that the specific joke he was playing on his girlfriend was to turn her Pug (that she always went on about being super cute), into, “the worst thing he could think of”.
The WORST thing. Not so cute now he’s, a ‘Nazi’!

Seriously, what these Laws being pushed in Germany, the same as Scotland & England (and already coming here), are doing is the very same thing Cassie, JC & others do.

Pick a target, find ‘words’ they said, strip them of all context, edit down & add a collection of other people’s words & sell the target as “criminal”.

Most won’t notice that’s what they do, because most haven’t had it done to them or someone they care about, yet, but how many more political prisoners are we going to have to have locked up in Australia for saying words the Govt Karens don’t like, before we stop accepting bad laws.

And if we take your final point to its logical end, we would all be supporting Morrison likely taking a zero emissions target to Glasgow because “it’s not a fair and just world.” On that standard we may as well give up voting altogether and go for a dictatorship – it’ll say us time and money.

I blame little johnnie, Australia’s worst PM as much for what he did not do as what he did do. Howard’s broad church has been the doom of the lnp: any organisation which does not specifically and unequivocally declare it is conservative will inevitably be infiltrated by the left. By not abolishing the abc after Tampa when he had large majorities, …

Look, I am not defending Howard, but as I have said before, it is wrong to blame him for not getting rid of TheirABC.

He didn’t have a snowball’s chance in hell of doing that. At least a third of his own party and all of the Nats opposed it. It might not even have got through the HoR, and had zero chance of getting through the Senate. If he had tried, it would have split the Coalition in half and resulted in a humiliating defeat for him.

Then, as now, the weakness of the Coalition’s policies are directly attributable to the gutless and unprincipled MPs who inhabit it.

BTW, the same applies to Tony Abbott, who is often wrongly blamed for not destroying TheirABC. He couldn’t have done it either, for the same reason.

Within 24 hours of the Pearl Harbor attack, the US Navy was ordered to commence unrestricted submarine warfare against Japan.

Didn’t that put an end to Allied plans to charge Karl Doenitz with war crimes for declaring unrestricted submarine warfare? Certain American admirals said they would give evidence for the defence?

fascists don’t play my principle vs your principles. they play my power and might vs your principles.

I don’t disagree in general. I’ve been writing similar things off and on for a few years now, including the following just two days ago:

Highlighting hypocrisy/double standards is done with the belief that the targets will feel guilt or shame, and thus in the future modify their behaviour, in order to avoid a repetition of that guilt or shame. How’s that working for us? How has it been working for us the past three decades?

Not everyone is capable of feeling guilt and shame. That much should be obvious. If they don’t have the capacity, how is it we still expect a future behavioural modification? Serious question.

The reasons for some individuals’ incapacity to experience shame or guilt is a digression, and perhaps even irrelevant. We cannot change another’s brain chemical makeup or life experience. Let’s remain focused on the practical: What IS and ISN’T working.

Constitutional lawyer reveals big problem for states that refuse to open

In an interview on The Sunday Project, constitutional lawyer Professor Kim Rubenstein said that anyone adversely affected by the states’ refusal to open their borders could have grounds for a case.

“Any person who is impacted by these restrictions and who can show that this is a disproportionate burden on trade [could mount legal action],” she said.

That “disproportionate burden on trade” is happening at the Qld-NSW Tweed border.

Professor Rubenstein said the court would examine “whether these restrictions are needed for the purpose that they‘re seeking to achieve in terms of health protection.”

If they’re found wanting, the state could be much more “vulnerable” to legal action.

WA and QLD govts could have a problem with high vaccination rates precluding the need for health protection.

Problem: who could afford such a legal challenge? Wouldn’t it have to go to the High Court or at least the Federal Court?

The ABC removes TV series into Juanita Nielsen death after serious issues

No Comments

The ABC has removed a two-part miniseries investigating the 1975 murder of journalist and activist Juanita Nielsen from its streaming platform after new information cast serious doubt on some of the program’s key claims.

Originally airing in September, Juanita: A Family Mystery broadcast allegations from retired lawyer John Innes that he was placed in Long Bay Gaol as an undercover investigator in an attempt to extract information from Eddie Trigg, an associate of Sydney underworld figure Abe Saffron.

Mr Trigg was one of three men charged in 1977 over a failed attempt to kidnap Nielsen – the founder of alternative newspaper NOW – four days before she disappeared.

But the series has been temporarily removed from view – as have two accompanying podcast episodes and an online article – after the ABC received information that cast “serious doubt on some of Innes’ claims”. They were removed “in order to address concerns about the accuracy of Innes’ claims”, a statement reads.

Nielson, whose father was heir to the Mark Foy’s retail fortune, had gained prominence for her newspaper’s opposition to developments in Kings Cross.

She was last seen alive on July 4, 1975 at the Carousel Club owned by Saffron. Her handbag was found eight days later alongside a freeway near Penrith but her remains were not found.

Don’t know. Perhaps you can help me with something. I watched a doco a few weeks ago that stated during the Pacific War the USA had stockpiled chemical weapons. Never used those weapons but I wonder if the situation had become more tense … .

As combat intensified in the Pacific, vigorous discussions occurred on the American home front and among generals about the use of poison gas. Many argued that using poison gas could shorten the war and save lives. However, despite the intense anti-Japanese feelings and the steady increase in budget and personnel for the Chemical Warfare Service (CWS) during the war, the United States never used lethal gases in the Pacific. Roosevelt himself had made it clear that for him the “use of such weapons has been outlawed by the general opinion of civilized mankind.” In a war where America told the world it was fighting to save civilization from totalitarianism, the President knew that using gas would come at a moral cost. Most importantly, public opinion was opposed to the use of gas. Most were still horrified by the images of mustard gas during World War One, some feared retaliation in kind while others agreed with Roosevelt that it was too inhuman and that the Americans would descend to the level of the Japanese and permanently tarnish their reputation.

That the US military never used gas was rooted in both the fact that plans for its use were deemed tactically unsound and that public opinion was very much taken into consideration. As more and more Americans lives were lost in the Pacific, public opinion slowly turned. In this March 1945 poll, 65% disapproved, down from 75% on September 1944. By June 1945, after the deadly Okinawa battle, disapproval went down to 54%. Following months of incendiary bombing of Japanese cities and civilians, the dropping of the atomic bombs in early August 1945 ended the debate about the use of poison gas.

A few days ago I mentioned how I thought we’d see stunning medical advances over the next 30 plus years.
This weekend, Barron’s did a front page story on this very subject.

Medicine’s Golden Age Is Dawning. 10 Ways to Invest.

Call it the Industrial Revolution for healthcare, the century of biology, Moore’s Law for medicine, or all three. Whatever metaphor you choose, the meaning is the same: Thanks to our rapidly evolving understanding of biology and the application of new technological tools—and a bit of urgency sparked by the Covid pandemic—explosive change is coming in our ability to diagnose, treat, and even cure many debilitating diseases. Indeed, a golden age could be dawning for patients and healthcare practitioners—and investors in pharmaceutical and biotech stocks.

Along with the abundant hope, there’s also lots of hype, and separating the two can be a formidable challenge. That’s one of the goals of our annual healthcare roundtable, which met virtually in mid-September, and on that score and others, this year’s panel didn’t disappoint. Even so, our experts found it hard to stifle their enthusiasm for the wave of innovation occurring throughout the sector, and the “value creation” that could result.

The members of this year’s healthcare roundtable are Ziad Bakri, manager of the $20 billion, five-star-rated T. Rowe Price Health Science fund (ticker: PRHSX); Liisa Bayko, a managing director and biotechnology analyst at Evercore ISI; Stephen Berenson, a managing partner of Flagship Pioneering, a creator of life-sciences companies, including Moderna (MRNA), on whose board he sits; and Chris Schott, a managing director and healthcare analyst at J.P. Morgan.

In the edited conversation that follows, our panelists take a deep dive into the innovations reshaping the industry from a scientific, business, and regulatory perspective. They also home in on companies, large and small, that are leading the revolution and offer compelling value for investors.

There’s little lateral thinking in Asia and this is why innovation isn’t a big thing. I’m not sure why, but a few people have suggested that the written language isn’t conducive to say engineering. Maybe. But over many centuries Asia hasn’t really come up with the goods.
