Arabs are just angry people. You could feed them solely on a diet of bromide-fortified hommus, ketamine, tofu and kale. And you’d not do a single thing to calm the place down.

I have been binge watching the memes of MEMRI TV.

But let me continue, as I do.

This is a cooking show, you people really are scum.

In present times I oft revert to those years in the ’50s when I sang with gusto those old hymns which today come to me so often.
It wasn’t an old country church, just a suburban one. Those years, esp during my teens, have stayed with me throughout my life. I’m now 81yrs.
Shall we gather at the River
In the sweet bye and bye
Leaning, leaning, leaning on the everlasting arms

Got my Vax certificate in PDF on my ‘puter ready to print now.

What a performance to get it. You have to create an link to Medicare via myGov and go through two major levels of authentication stuff – email, name, password, DOB, Medicare and DOB of anyone else on the card; they send a code to your email, they send a code to your phone via text, they send another code to your phone via text, they send you an email, you have to create three questions that only you know the answer to, they give you hints about what they could be, and then, and ony then, will they let you in.

OK says Hairy, who is guiding me through this nonsense. Pity any slightly older ladies who don’t have Hairy handy nearby. What was the name of your first pet? How the hell would I recall which one I would put down for that, I say. What is your favorite food? Could be anything depending on the day, I say. What is the name of your primary school? Which one? I ask. So we give up on the prompts.

We make up three questions to which I will give only one constant answer, and then we’re away!
Except we’re out of printer ink and I can’t print the damn thing so unless we can buy some within 5km I will have to brave going through the log-in if they ever let me go to the hairdressers and they require it. Or we can try Officeworks at the 7km level and buy a new cartridge, I boldly declare.

I learned my gusto songs at Sunday School aged 11 in the UK for 18 months living with my nana.

She sent me to Sunday school so she could have a rest.

Onward Christians Soldiers – I could really belt that out; also Jesus Loves Me, and There is a Green Hill Far Away, and especially I loved All Things Bright and Beautiful. At Christmas, the well-known carols.

I’ve learned other hymns since, but those childhood ones are entrenched. And still magic.

(Vertigo and nausea- no other episodes in the fifteen years I’ve known her.)
My blink reaction was, to your GP who waved you through the doubts and into it. Reporting to the authorities, website, AIRC, will just see it memory-holed after you waste an hour on loginorrhea.
GP might try to wave it away, or call it psychosomatic, but at least she’ll have to enter it into clinical records, and take it on board personally.

I keep hearing of and personally experiencing delays in mail/parcel deliveries especially by Oz Post. I’m currently waiting on a letter from Canberra for 10 days plus a small parcel stuck in the Chullora centre for a week.

At the other end of the spectrum today I ordered a delivery of 3 items from JB HiFi. I placed the order at 4PM. Delivery options were the usual postal services plus a new one-

‘Place the order by 5PM and deliver by 7PM for $5’

With deep suspicion I chose the $5 option. At 512PM I received a text advising the package would be delivered in 9 minutes. I clicked on an enclosed link and a live map with the delivery vehicle was shown ( like the Uber app).

At 521PM it was delivered to the door.

I’m still in shock, this is Australia after all, isn’t it?

This thing is telling people who own businesses that if their employees aren’t vaxxed, they will “go backwards”.

What the hell does that even mean? Does it mean that they can’t operate? What legal right does she have to threaten businesses about their employees’ private health decisions?

Hi calli just catching up a little on yesterday’s comments — I see you feel exactly as I do about the ‘leader’ of NSW – I have some terribly terrribly uncharitable thoughts about the ‘leader’ of NSW and your use of the word ‘thing’ is spot on because what is a thing: soulless. The statements she made are reprehensible and as you say – what is the authority on which these pronouncements are made? there is no law mandating vaccinations just a reliance on businesses to do their dirty work for the craven vile ‘leaders’.

Small business is the largest employer of Australians are they out to make everyone unemployed and reliant on the beneficence and generosity of our ‘leaders’?

Retribution awaits our ‘leaders’.

Hey, calli, this unperson is staring them down in NSW.

There is not much appetite for screening and banning people in this country town. As I have mentioned before, the cops have been invisible for the last few months.

A lot of businesses have a “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy. I don’t expect that to change.

But, the technocrats are devising all kinds of digital silken restraints for us, like the latest notion that people wanting to wander around across jurisdictions will have to have their vaxx status on their phones. Otherwise, they will have to apply well in advance and have the necessary paperwork on them at all times.

Think back to the carefree times only two years ago!

And people say you can’t enjoy yourself in the desert. The NT News:

POLICE are investigating a bold break-in at an Alice Springs residence, where $2000 worth of vibrators, ­dildos, lube and lingerie was reported stolen.

Among the booty taken were eight 18-carat gold vibrator necklaces worth $125 each.

Gillen resident Dianne McRae, who runs a part-time business selling adult toys and lingerie, said that the sex toy swindler smashed through her front window on Tuesday morning and packed a pink suitcase with the adult arousers.

I am extremely confident that ‘pink suitcase’ is a metaphor.

Ms McRae, who has lived in Alice Springs for 13 years, said the lingerie lurcher had left her “a little bit speechless”. “I’ve always known that my products are good, but I’m seriously baffled as to what this person is going to do with a suitcase full of dildos,” she said.

What Ms McRae fails to realise is that you can’t buy a hammer after hours in Alice.

Brown forgot one…malice. Malturd has basically come out and revealed he’s going to campaign against the Liberals next year. We all know his, he did this back in 2019 against the Liberals, but it was more subterfuge, through his grotesque son. I have no doubt they poured money into Steggall’s campaign along with Julia Banks and Phelps campaigns.

As bad as Rudd is, he doesn’t dump on Labor the way Turdbull dumps on the Liberals.

Geez. Apologies for stinking the joint up even more, but the very thing I look at (the NT News, again):

FORMER Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull says the federal government should keep its hands off the Northern Territory government’s Darwin Port agreement with ­Chinese company Landbridge.

The controversial agreement, inked by then NT chief minister Adam Giles with Landbridge officials in October 2015, granted the company a $506m, 99-year lease and committed the company to $200m in investments over 25 years.

The NT’s Belt and Road.

“We’ve got to be very careful to be seen as a trusted, reliable partner and going back in time and trying to break a lease and that would not be legally straightforward, it could open up a whole Pandora’s box of problems that probably could be best avoided.”

Well, he would say that, wouldn’t he?

I have chosen a particular path (how long that lasts under the pressure I’m getting atm is anyone’s guess). So you could say that I have brought exclusion upon myself. I am my own worst enemy. That might be true.

The argument has moved on to discriminatory practice by businesses and active participation in that. I’m old enough to remember South Africa, and the abuses of the American South. And the sectarian shyte of Northern Ireland. Whether medical discrimination is comparable to race or religious discrimination could be an argument worth having.

In Mississippi, at least blacks were allowed to board the bus, even if they had to sit down the back. So there was that.

I also am resolutely opposed to Covid passports and Covid papers.

During this time I have met and talked to whistleblowers exposing the deep corruption in our healthcare and legal systems; continued to research the absurd lies we are being fed by the mass media; and seen our innate freedoms of association, travel, commerce, speech, and bodily autonomy chipped away.

Meanwhile, my younger daughter is at school in a country with one of the most draconian medical apartheid systems in the world. Apparently she is the last pupil in her class who is uninjected for Covid, as she has so far resisted the fear-based social programming. Due to my concerns about what is happening I wrote to her headmistress to challenge her policies and actions, as is my right as a father.

In return I got a litany of unlawful, unethical, and unprofessional (non-)responses. No good father stands by idly and leaves his daughter (or any child) in the care of a liar and criminal. My daughter — your granddaughter — deserves better than this farcical fraud based on falsehood. The “pandemic emperor” has no clothes!

I have studied the Covid subject science in detail, spent years understanding propaganda and social engineering, and taken time to know the relevant law. I am a widely admired professional at deconstructing false belief systems. I look at original evidence, respect longstanding moral philosophy, and question the motives of all mortal authorities. Seeking verifiable knowledge and asking hard questions, so as to make up your own mind, is a righteous endeavour.

Having applied all my skill and integrity, this is my conclusion: my daughter is being groomed into a neo-Marxist ideology which substitutes mass conformity for personal conscience. The end game is grim: sterilisation of children by psychopathic eugenicists posing as healthcare saviours. If adhering to Biblical principles of right and wrong about the institutionalised abuse of children makes me a “cult member” in your view, then you may wish to reflect upon the solidity of your own ethical beliefs and moral authorities.

These injections are not working as vaccines. They demonstrably are a multipart bioweapon system. Several were provably developed in communist China as part of transhumanism research, and delivered to the West via a war of infiltration and deception. The Book of Revelations (18:23) warns of this EXACT strategy of wickedness. “Sorcery” is a synonym for “pharmacy”. Please pay attention to your own chosen sources of spiritual guidance!

The hard data is in, and this “vaccine” programme 100% certainly is not healthcare, since it kills more than it saves — by a large margin.

Never in my adult life have I had reason to not talk to you for this long, nor to feel such deep anger in your direction. My child is being psychologically, physically, and spiritually abused every day she is at school. The illusion of normality will be maintained until enough have fallen into the deadly trap; then the horror and nightmare becomes visible to all. Complicity in this evil puts you on the wrong side of history and is unacceptable to me.

You are tacitly supporting the abuse of your own granddaughter, and encouraging her to remain in the hands of child abusers — and thus at risk of serious injury (or worse). Wearing a face mask is a humiliation and submission ritual historically used for slaves, and is deeply harmful to the human psyche. The genocidal bioweapon injuries are piling up, and deaths mounting, and more people are awakening to this diabolical deception.

My daughter already faces exclusion from nearly all public facilities due to the Orwellian “freedom pass”, and prospectively will be subjected to shaming by being forced to “mask up” to reveal her noncompliance with the “clotshot”. At some point her school will inevitably close as the parents realise they have been played in the worst way possible. Her headmistress will not be able to show her face in public (presuming she is not in prison for her own safety).

There is a hard objective reality of events; the truth of it is coming out despite the censorship; and there is a global mass uprising against this medical tyranny. Lawsuits are being filed for war crimes, and there is unprecedented military activity at present. A season of sorrow is coming for us all, as many of the deceived fall ill and die.

I plan to use the full force of law and every resource I can access to bring children out of the path of such harm. I have tens of thousands of supporters, and will not back down on this matter of conscience and principle. My chosen life path is as a warrior for truth and justice, and nothing in this material world will deflect or halt me. Nothing.
I choose not to live by lies, and this is the value system I wish my daughters to live by too. If you continue to encourage her (and her older sister) to participate in this lie, then that has consequences for us as a family. I will not tolerate cruel lies and hazardous liars who endanger the innocent. This is not me “going crazy”; it is a mass psychosis of normalised wrongdoing — that I am calling out and rejecting.

In the fullness of time we can talk through our positions, and see whether there is more common moral and factual ground that can be discovered. I cannot in good conscience be part of any abuse of any children, nor will I associate with those who knowingly condone it in any way.

Dutifully and lovingly yours,
Martin

I don’t think the argument here is about getting jabbed or not.
That’s a very personal decision based on personal health circumstances, and viewpoints. It should be respected as such.

I think the issue here is the use of the associated higher status to get/experience that which is forbidden to fellow citizens.

Is not using the certificate to get a haircut, in a shop that discriminates, validating the two tier system? This is no longer a personal health decision, this is about principle.

Would you have entered a shop with “No Jews” or “No Blacks” on the front window? Would you have moved into an apartment which had recently been forcibly vacated by a Jewish family? Are you happy to indulge in things prohibited to others based on a spurious premise?

I’m not making judgements here, just pointing out the two different issues which seem to have been conflated here. I am genuinely interested in this discussion, but let’s at least understand what we are talking about.

I don’t recall Lizzie offering to not get her vaxx certificate as a gesture of solidarity, and she’s only one person, out of quite a few here that are vaccinated.
Are Queenslanders forgoing shopping , dining out , gyms and haircuts as a gesture of solidarity with lockdowned Mexicans?

Indeed, Rosie.

I would happily use providers who proudly state Everyone Welcome Here. And I will not be asking anyone their vaxx status before I come near them or invite them in. I don’t believe in a two-class citizenry. Nor do I expect any of my friends to be little Hitlers towards me, as above, because I’m vaxxed. Guess I’m the lightning rod around here for that. Hugs all round as far as I am concerned.

I think the whole Vaxx passport thing will disintegrate after December 1, though there will be a level of hysteria prior to that. Happy to do my bit to pull it into ridicule due to its inoperability asap. As for the US, we are still hoping to fly out to a cruise there at the end of March 2022. Airlines will insist on vaxxes as they have in the past depending on arrival requirements. Weather eye on the March date of course because you can’t always rely that lunatic lockdowns still won’t happen. Once we get away, if the Premiers continue the elimination path we will be citizens of the world again, living independently in the US or Britain until Australia implodes under its own isolation.

We’ve both reached the same point via different routes of thinking.

However there are a few here who seem to be very righteous about not getting jabbed…which is fine and I respect their decision but at the same time they are very judgmental about those who’ve made the decision to get jabbed.

The issue is not so much around getting it (although, with all we now know that is an enormous, and in my opinion unjustified, leap of faith) the real issue is WHY. If it’s genuinely for medical reasons then, naturally, that is for each and every individual to decide for themselves. However, if it’s because they’re sick of the current restrictions and just want to grasp the carrots being teased which like mirages keep disappearing into the distance, then they are actively helping to create this monstrous techo-tyranny that is quite deliberately being imposed on us.

The fact that doctors have been bullied and compromised into towing the party line instead of giving genuine, independent advice certainly does not help the situation.

No, a transformer near the substation in Cox Rd did not cause a blackout all the way to the surf coast but it doesn’t matter, the clearly descriptive eye witness reports & clear videos of the ‘thing’ travelling in the sky are mostly gone, with only a few scrambled, contradictory posts videos remaining.

Anyway, in the first video in this post you can make out the ‘thing’ in the sky coming out from behind the rooftop towards the next house before it ‘explodes’ blue (again, these aren’t arching, crackling, booming explosions, they are silent), but then they instantly loop the video back so you can’t see the blacked out houses.
In another post they claim it came from the ground even though that can’t be seen to be so in that video.

It was the ‘thing’ in the sky ‘exploding’, that first got the media attention, then by the end of the day it was your stock tale of a ‘transformer’.
When they stretch things this far they’d be better off going with St Elmo’s Fire, at least that’s usually silent and can pass through things without damage.

Russia to host first royal wedding in more than a century
By Gabrielle Tétrault-Farber
October 1, 2021 — 5.58am

Moscow: Russia’s former Imperial capital is set to play host to the wedding of a descendant of the Romanovs, the country’s royal family, in the first such event in more than a century.

Grand Duke George Mikhailovich Romanov will tie the knot with Italian fiancée Victoria Romanovna Bettarini at St Isaac’s Cathedral in St Petersburg on Friday in an elaborate religious ceremony with hundreds of foreign guests in attendance.

Russia’s last tsar Nicholas II, his wife and five children were killed by a revolutionary firing squad in July 1918 in the cellar of a merchant’s house in Yekaterinburg, a city 1450 km east of Moscow, where they hid.

The traditional Imperial ceremony is tipped to last two days, with the catering for the banquet provided by Yevgeny Prigozhin, also known as “Putin’s chef”.

“This was the first place in Russia to which we returned,” George Mikhailovich, 40, told news website Fontanka.ru about the choice of St Petersburg for his wedding. “This is very, very close to the family.”

George Mikhailovich was born in Spain to Grand Duchess Maria Vladimirovna of Russia – the self-proclaimed heir to Russia’s imperial throne – and her husband Grand Duke Mikhail Pavlovich of Russia. He lived in France and Spain for most of his life.

The Romanov dynasty ruled Russia for 300 years before Nicholas II abdicated in 1917, setting Russia on course for the Bolshevik Revolution, civil war and 70 years of Communist rule.

Mikhailovich’s great-grandfather, Grand Duke Kirill Vladimirovich, managed to escape Bolshevik violence during the 1917 revolution to Finland. He and his family later relocated to Western Europe. He was a first cousin of Nicholas II and proclaimed himself emperor-in-exile after the slayings.

Mikhailovich visited Russia for the first time in 1992, and now lives in Moscow where he works on a number of charity projects.

Bettarini, 39, a writer, converted to the Russian Orthodox faith last year and took the name Victoria Romanovna.

Russia’s Orthodox Church canonised Nicholas II in 2000, after being portrayed as a weak leader by Soviet authorities.

Tanya Davies, my NSW rep, told Alan Jones some time ago that she was getting emails from voters telling her that they had to decide which one of the spouses will get the jabs in order to work so the other one is there to look after the kids if anything happens. Our governments are pushing us into something akin to Sophie’s choice.

As I’ve commented here, Britain and other countries have an indemnity system for those rare vaccine deaths – 125000 pounds in Britain, straight off from Govt coffers in the sad event, so that families are not left absolutely stranded. We have nothing, which is a huge mistake. Legal recourse is beyond most people and even the no fee no pay guys are shy of it re the vaxx.

Of course, when you accept anaesthesia with certain products you also accept, without indemnity unless they are misused, the risk of death that accompanies them; same for various other medications where you accept the risks if you have been informed of them. But this is rather different to mandating the use, as with the vaxx, thus I am very much in favour of people making their own decisions to not vaxx without incuring any social penalty for it.

Case numbers in Victoria could soon hit 6000 per day as talk turns to an extension of the state’s lockdowns, an expert has warned.

Victoria’s roadmap to freedom may need to be paused or modified due to yesterday’s record-breaking numbers, with 1438 new infections recorded.

GP Dr Mukesh Haikerwal said cases will “probably double and double again”.

Piss off Doctator.
The Poms had 80% vaxx on freedom day. Cases in the mid thirty thousands each day and with ten times our population that would be sixty thousand per day if he is to be believed.

Nah, the bosses call is to not draw extra negative attention from the Jacks all over those country roads looking for ‘people unnecessarily driving’.

In Work Optional news:

4 in 10 workers are ready to quit their jobs, as the ‘Great Resignation’ comes to Australia

Australians are fed up with their jobs and looking elsewhere as the disruption of the pandemic forces workers to re-evaluate their careers.

More than six in 10 prospective jobseekers said they were primarily motivated to leave by a lack of career opportunities or no payrise. A lack of recognition from their bosses and poor company culture were also identified as contributing factors.

But it’s clear that for many, money remains the number one driver. Almost half said they would stay in their current position if they were offered an elusive pay rise, while just one quarter would be swayed by a promotion.

Pro Tip: Be on the lookout when hiring: a larger than usual tidal wave of zombies and dreadnaughts is on its way.

Little lies people tell themselves.

On the one hand is people being imprisoned without trial and run out of society.

On the other is people endorsing and accepting a new social order that bans those people from society.

And you’re worried about the first group being ‘offensive’ for pointing out the obvious?

You know what’s offensive? An 80 year old talking about engaging in the new social order – going out on the town and traveling overseas again while a young family next door is banned from society without trial exclusively for that 80 year olds benefit.

It was observed: if you get the vaccine because you want the ‘freedom’ you are endorsing the new social order, the vaccine begets support for the compliance passport. Day one: 100% true.

He outed himself totally in his response to Governor DeSanto.

That’s a non-sequitur. DeSanto is hardly a poster boy for the UN, he’s our next Trump. ScoMo simply ridiculed himself and Australia with that tired old ‘keeping us safe’ mantra.

My point was that he showed that he was totally on board with what was happening, that it wasn’t a case of the premiers getting the better of him, as some have suggested. He is the instigator of it all. And net zero too, of course. A total traitor in other words. Preventing people from leaving the country was a good indicator that this whole thing was planned.

One thing that has been disturbing me somewhat (perhaps I shouldn’t be surprised) is the utter silence of former prime ministers. John Howard only seems interested in cricket. Even Tony Abbott only said that the police were too heavy handed. Do any of them actually believe in freedom and democracy?

Rushkan – Shrine Protest:

This video of the protest at the Shrine of Remembrance (22.09.21) is from my on the ground perspective while reporting. It’s a chronological highlight of key moments that made up the totality of the incidents at the Shrine that day, incidents which have since polarised and divided parts of the nation.

I filmed non-stop for around 4 hours since the moment protesters arrived at the Shrine to the moment police fired on the last remaining groups of protesters to clear the site. Although much has been said by leaders and media personalities in the community that were not present on the day, including our Prime Minister, I’m still not entirely sure what informs their opinions on what took place.

There seems to be a disconnect between the reporting in the mainstream media, and the simple realities on the ground that day. The media have taken isolated incidents that may or may not have even occurred in some instances and then exaggerated them to represent the character of all that were present. Some of the misinformation about people trashing the site, are totally inconsistent with what occurred on the day.

Watch this highlight and if need be the entire livestream for full context: https://fb.watch/8luJRrlvfN/ and then compare it to the reporting by the msm and comments made by those that were not present.”

Except there is no evidence that the young family next door is being ‘banned from society’, for the benefit of an 80 year old (not even a boomer!) .
More than fifty percent of children* aged between 12 and 15 in NSW have been taken by their parents to get vaccinated when whether those children are vaccinated or not makes zero difference to the vaccinated percentage lockdown end.

I have noted before that a lot of people who have been vaccinated will feel inclined to insist other people be vaccinated.

Part of it might be the slightly childish feeling that if they have taken a risk then it is not fair that other people do not – not that they would put it that way because their grown up selves recognises how churlish it sounds, much less actually it, but it can provide motivation for them to grope about for other ‘arguments’ so they can release some of their pent up resentment.

Some might have done it because they have been so browbeaten by politicians, jumped up CMO’s and CHO’s, and the MSM into seeing vaccinations as the only way out of their hostage existence and, being double-dosed, have done all they can and are impatient for other people to take that last step to win blissful freedom. A little short-sighted but desperation can blind a person to less immediate realities.

And some are just dicks. Teacher’s pet tattle-tales who derive a sadistic pleasure from seeing other people tormented. Taking a risk with their own health would be an acceptable price just to see other people forced to take the same risk against but their will – such is their pathology. At school it is the harsh teacher they court. Now it is the state.

There are more varieties of course, but these are just examples for a wider point.

Now of these the first two might feel that they have reached an end point – now that they are jabbed they are jabbed forever. But that is the thing. They aren’t. I suspect that they lose sight of that because it is not talked about. Anyone jabbed in June will be due a booster in the month following ‘freedom day’. And every six months after that. (Freedom day. Remember, it is freedom from government, not from the virus.)

And that is just for Covid. What about every new virus that emerges, as they do regularly ever seven or eight years. Each of these will need new shots, each with its booster shots stretching into futurity. Is that what they want? Because they are voting for it with their rolled sleeves right now. When will it be enough? Have they ever considered what will be too many shots and too many boosters? And how will they argue against the logic then when they have already accepted it now?

That is what I am telling people. Accept mandatory vaccination now and you accept it for ever, for new diseases and treatments we have not even heard of yet, but without the right to question.

I gave three examples of ‘types’ above. The argument I think can apply to the first two and a host of related species. But of the last? The Karens and Kens? Mock them. Laugh at them. Invoke them as types for jokes. Make them cautionary tales for children. If we ignore them rather than engage they will rot in a puddle of their own impotence.

The sweetest rot there could be.

Very well said, Mater.

Certainly, I am wary about having an experimental gene therapy injection. But I’m more worried about the manic push to have everyone vaccinated against a virus that is far less lethal than the annual flu.

I’m worried that the media are so intent on pushing “deadly covid”/”safe vaccine” down our throats day after day, with no respite.

I’m worried that governments (state and fed) have stolen so many of our basic rights, then hint that a few might be restored, provided that we are vaccinated. I’m desperately worried that so many Australians think that this is okay.

I am fortunate that my children and grandchildren are close geographically and emotionally, and that they respect and heed my opinions. We talk regularly and share local and overseas videos and articles about the ‘pandemic’ and treatments, vaccines and side effects. All share my decision to refuse the experimental gene therapy injection until a) a fully tested, safer (proper) vaccination is available, or b) we are held down and forced to submit.

PS: Best Man is anti-experimental gene therapy, too, but is not as vocal as I am on this, or politics, or everything in general. Or perhaps he just can’t get a word in. 🙂
