? It always makes me chuckle that there are people that are gullible enough to believe that people on their death beds are saying “get the vaccine” as their parting words.***
It makes you realise that the media simply makes stuff up. Donald Trump said the current media is the “enemy of the people” and he may be right.

“Perrotret is setting himself up for a spill by the looks. “
I doubt he has any chance. The odious Michael Photios controls the NSW Liberals and I doubt he would want someone on the right of the party, like Perrotet, to become Premier. However, I get the feeling that Perrotet has long been anti-lockdowns.

And that screeching fucking sheila Daisy Pearce with the forehead x 7 is giving me a headache.
sez Toad.
Hear, hear.I can barely understand what she is howling about. Who thought it would be good idea to have some hyped up bint allowed to go to air?
So glad I pay through the nose for Foxtel Sports for uninterrupted coverage only to find I have to watch the GF on that loathsome FTA Channel 7 with an ad stuffed in every 10 seconds.
The alleged half time “entertainment” is utter shit.
Yes, I am cranky.

Thanks for the messages of support. To be fair, the Age did give me an opportunity to comment, and I actually think the article is somewhat balanced. However there are obvious attempts to make connections that don’t exist, particularly about things out of my control.
I shared this because there are a few articles floating around today from msm sources, and other people on social media have been triggered. I’m mature enough to understand that I will be criticised and judged for being outside the sphere of mainstream control.
Keep an open mind on anything you see or hear about me, and remember the msm are master manipulators. -

…
I doubt he has any chance.Yeah, I agree. He’s like Dutton – great politics but cursed with negative charisma. Photios has a horde of empty-headed zombies he can call on to win any spill because gorgeous. Which is why, I might add, that KKK still gets a run, despite serial faceplanting.

We have to see what’s happened as a turning point. And I think more and more people are seeing it in that way too.
the vast majority of people get their news from the MSM and the censored socialist media. Rupert has just pledged his devotion to the cause.
Davos works by shaming billionaires into action for the common good, it appeals to their ego, after all, look how smart they are becoming billionaires. Surely they should know better than us common morons.
Bannon has warned us about davos for years. I was wrong about it, it is not benign. It is an influence network for the elites of the elites.
Klaus schwab is a myterious man, his past is very well hidden. Taking him at his word, one can only see him as an extreme fascist.

Stew Peters, what’s in the vax?

Younger generations are going to damn us for failure to see how things were going until it was so late. But everyone with any knowledge of history can now see it plainly, so this is our opportunity to step up and fight the good fight. I can’t see how it will play out in detail, but the general nature of the conflict is plain enough. It’s those who want freedom versus the totalitarians, with the majority of natural slaves on the sidelines, waiting to be told what to do, think and feel, as usual.

Zulu Kilo Two Alphasays:
“September 25, 2021 at 7:08 pm
They had trouble with the local aboriginals because some rocks had been identified as having aboriginal rock paintings.There was a well, in South Australia, supposedly a sacred site, dug by the tribal elders, and used as a campsite for “longtime now.”
It had been sunk by the Australian Army during World War Two.
There is an idyllic river mouth, sandbar and beach in northern NSW that was claimed as a sacred site. The beach and sandbar was the result recreation work after sand mining.”

Similarly a calendar put out by some enviro-wankers with pictures of the wilderness that had to be preserved from da eeeeebil nuclear industry – unfortunately for them one of the photos, a beautiful shimmering sheet of water with birds flying off it, was the tailings dam at Ranger uranium mine. -

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

Brilliant expose on the shallowness of Scott Morrison’s bullshit address to the UN

BTW, the video is AGE RESTRICTED.
Yes, that’s how ugly the POLICE VIOLENCE is –
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AoIPToh-i3kDuring his message to the United Nations, Prime Minister Scott Ingadene Morrison also touted Australia’s love for freedom, democracy and the rule of law. He went on to say other fancy words and sentences which do not apply to Australia in the slightest. “

it’s time for some unrepentant beauty.
And for some serious physicality.
NASA (not the space agency) has what I think are some really marvelous tracks, like Way Down…as you could expect ( 😀 ). I don’t like the Meltdown song much but the video is a display of breathtaking talent.

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 –

JMH at 5.39, and apropos of VicJack Inc’s current surge being dependent on regional jacks:
That’s nothing new as you well know KD.
I well know that statement is wrong.
Two to three days, for ‘events’ known and planned for well in advance. It’s never been done, or resourced for anything longer than that. Their logistics will fail, if it hasn’t already.

Who are the Jesuit judges or who at least trains them & appoints them?
Dot
The Jesuit trained, Xavier College in Kew, have a lock on the judiciary of Victoria and have had for generations.
Believe it, or not.
Your choice.
The greatest never worked in his life hero of the Tasmanian mine shit is a product of that same mind set schooling.
Did someone mention Rob Hulls???
Pell, the dickhead, took the lot on.
Pell is too old now and the Jesuits stopped him from becoming Pope.
check it out yourself Dot.

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.

Personally I think they’re pretty nice to me compared to what I expected from them (but my expectations were VERY low).
And I appreciate the free advertising!

There was nothing Pratchett described “well”.
The only author whilst reading I’ve physically fallen off a chair laughing. Twice. Once in the Colour of Magic and once when reading Good Omens. Side-holding-in laughing. No other author has done that to me, not even once. I forgive him his apostasy for this, and I’m sad he suffered what he did.

We have to see what’s happened as a turning point. And I think more and more people are seeing it in that way too.
Think what you like BBS. I believe the national cabinet has thrown our democracy out the window and now all decisions governing our fate are decided in secret, ala Politburo style. There will now be big theatre pieces come election time but when the dust settles it will still be authoritarian elites in charge., monitoring us, surveiling us, thieving from us, controlling and restricting us, censoring and incarcerating dissent.
Our democracy is a fkg facade, a construct. Just like our so-called “freedom”.

“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?

Janey, that slim, exquisite, long haired brunette is back … 🙂

BoN….have you read C.S. Lewis’ That Hideous Strength?
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:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zLxCxCMXkOYThis might be of some interest to several people here with concerns about their employment.

You should be so blessed. We were “compelled” to “harmonise” Kum by Ya, Bruce
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: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.
