In the Crimes……ACT statistics – first Covid death.
Dig down – it’s first Covid related death.
Dig down further – man in his nineties, under “end of life care”.
Poor old bugger was sitting on the edge of his grave.
How did they diagnose Covid? Shove a stick up his nose?
That’s what probably fucked him.

ABC news now claiming the Trump administration had a plan to assassinate Julian Assange if he left the Ecuadorian embassy.

Actually from a story I saw yesterday it was the CIA who had the plan, and it was developed under Obama. And Trump opposed it. As we know the CIA was actively against Trump, so I think it’d be a stretch to blame Trump for this. Pompeo might be partly culpable, but this was in 2017 very early on, before it became clear how dirty the CIA was. The swampies in the CIA would’ve have had no problems playing Pompeo.

Apparently Biden had Modhi over. When Modhi entered the room with the press corp and Joe finished arguing in the hall with the bust of George Washings “Where’s your mask? C’mon man!” and shuffled in, he started off requesting Modhi not to take any questions from the American press as they were not as well behaved as the Indian press, and they would not ask questions ‘on point’.

This abuse by their President is beginning to rankle the MSM, but they outsmarted themselves. Kamala would be no better. Just laughing at everything she doesn’t want to answer.

He need merely be anti-vaxx. I mean that in its proper and original meaning of opposing all vaccines.

He might be licking the outside of the red-pill like a red smartie but I would say that since the left is home of the full on anti-vaxxers that may be his motivation. He is famous enough and established enough that he may feel he does not have to kowtow to every hypocritical about face the mainstream left engages in – he is true to his moose.

Something has to give with biden soon; ‘sensible’ demorats, particularly in the Southern states affected by the non-border are already screeching but are ignored by the media. Nothing will come from the fbi/cia/doj because any dissenters from those ranks will be dead. It has to be the media which put the rabid dog into power.

‘My prediction is he will not be around much longer.’

My prediction is he’s 80 years old. Of course he’s not going to be around much longer.

He will die of unspecified causes tomorrow. Or in the next few weeks, or months or years.

And his autopsy results will not be released. His relatives will thus become conspiracists in the eyes of the Dead Weight, who will say to hell with Jones’ privacy or that of his remaining family.

the military industrial complex wanting a forever war with china

there is plenty of truth in 1 & 2 & 3. likely these overlapping agendas are working in conjunction. just as russia and the US cooperated with each other to take down the nazis. once the nazis were out of the way the cold war was on.

Surprise! QLD ‘discovers’ new ‘mystery’ cases the very moment that serious pressure comes on to palawhatever about the borders and NSW and the Feds try and timebox this whole nightmare to end before the end of the year.

The politics involved in this are as vulgar as any in the communist eastern european countries last century.

Obviously Labor wants this state of affairs to drag on into the election, ‘see Scomo’s plan is a failure! Only we can move this country forward and free you!”. Obviously Scott and Gladys want this wrapped up right now, new social order in place, this year, come hell or high water – damn the people.

What’s ironic is they all want the same thing: a vast new medical surveillance state with government licences to leave your house, they’re just battling over who gets to be in charge of it.

And so between it all, the people must suffer.

The best way to fight this is to expose the traitorous for what they are.
Is there anyone here who has not seen Greg Hunt’s own Bio?
Is there anyone who has not listened to Klaus Schwab?
The truth regarding the globalist tyranny is right before your eyes.
The facts are there.
As we saw, we few conspiracy theorists could point this blue in the face all last year, to no avail.

Now, if we spent our time on social media letting people know who the real enemy is, showing the facts that not only Greg Hunt (although he was awarded by them), but Jacinta horse face, LE FRENCH PM Macaroon, Boris, and Truedope came out of the WEF academy for Global traitorism.
Greg spending two years there.
So two years into a communist dictatorship what do you think now>
Is it really about a virus.
If we do not expose the real enemy, when they themselves are telling you that they are the enemy, and people blame this premier or that dumb CHO bint while this is happening the world over, with Australia’s isolation and level of political corruption (Greg Hunt etc) we will never win.
The first thing you do when fighting a war is find out who attacked you so you know who to fire back against.
Or else we could even end up firing on each other.

Thanks Gab, I watched the video this morning, now over 17,000 views.

On the side-bar there were some comments about the Holcroft vs. Hazzard case which didn’t proceed to court. Comments were that she withdrew her action and lost, was this what happened?

I had heard that she was a NSW police officer and (single?) mother of three children who was reluctant to take the jab as she didn’t want to risk adverse reactions to the jab due to her family responsibilities, and that the NSW government agreed that she would be excluded from the mandatory jab requirements as part of the out of court settlement.

From Dr John Humphreys:

Last Friday the Liberal Democrats lodged an application with the High Court seeking to have a recently enacted provision of the Commonwealth Electoral Act 1918 declared invalid by the court. That provision will have the effect of prohibiting the Liberal Democrats from using the word liberal in our name. The Parliamentary Library Bills Digest of 25 August 2021 states on page six:

“Probably the most contentious of the provisions of the four Bills are those in the Party Registration Integrity Bill that relate to the naming of political parties. In short, these provisions would: (1) prevent the AEC from registering a new political party with a name that includes a word that is in the name of an already registered political party, unless the latter party consents to the registration and (2) allow a political party (the first registered party) to object to the continued use of another registered party’s name (the later registered party), if the later registered party uses a word in its party name which is also in the first registered party’s name. Section 129 of the Act specifies certain restrictions on the use of party names.”

This provision of the legislation is entirely political in nature and we are hopeful the High Court will review the constitutionality of this law. The High Court has the power to declare a statute unconstitutional and while that does not happen often we are confident we have a strong case. If successful our action will also protect other political parties.

US military personnel pouring into Sydney.

why does it feel like we are hurtling towards some deadline?

I was hoping there are military games occurring. I was struck by the news that even Britain sent its aircraft carrier into the South China Sea. In recent months China has been penetrating Taiwanese airspace with increasing frequency. That is not just bullying, it is also about obtaining radar signatures and identifying installations. It looks like someone is preparing for war. The latest ADV China clips clearly indicate the CCP is telling the populace they already are at war with the USA.

“Does anyone have any information on why there is such a huge influx at present?”

Many have suggested that a proportion of the persons dressed as Police that have been busy brutalising Melbournians are not actually (Australian/ Local?) Police. Private security contractors such as those “Predator” dickheads? Perhaps the new Sydney arrivals are the NSW batch/ “garrison”.

Perhaps in the vein of how Muammar Gaddafi used to run the show in Libya where he had concerns for the loyalty of Libyan security forces when ordered against their own people. Apparently used to fly in medical teams from Eastern Europe amongst other places to do all his’ cosmetic surgery.

N-Acetyl Cysteine is in critical short supply in the US. however is still available here

I understand the FDA is currently considering reclassifying it as a drug. Amazon pulled it from sale a few months back and that’s had an flow on impact on manufacturing due to the uncertainty.

A friend of mine was a big fan of NAC. It is substrate for the production of the most important antioxidant in our body, glutathione. Studies have found it useful in cancer immunotherapy and various inflammatory conditions because those often reduce glutathione levels in the body which is makes the problem worse. Reclassifying it as a drug is nuts, makes no sense. I don’t understand what is going on there.

This is the reason for the NAC shortage:

In July of 2020, the FDA sent warning letters to specific companies stating that N-acetyle-L-cysteine (NAC) cannot be lawfully marketed as a dietary supplement. In fact it was tested as a drug in the 1960s for treatment in acetaminophen poisoning and prevention of severe liver damage. With recent revelations of the efficacy of NAC in possibly treating and being highly effective as a component in drastically improving immune health, the FDA has decided to ban its sale as a supplement.

In other words, the agency is reverting to a position that NAC is a pharmaceutical ingredient, based on an approval nearly 60 years ago. This is despite the fact that FDA and other regulators have tacitly permitted its use in supplements for 5 decades.

Someone is trying to take control of the NAC market.

Israel’s positions is by far the most interesting. The strongest clues as to what is really going on are right there. The government seems to me terrified of something big. There is no way I would buy into any depopulation theories involving the israeli government. That would be seen as holocaust #2.

I watched Netanyahu’s address at davos

His body language talking about the race against “mutations” as justification for very high vax rates indicates to me he is scared. Is he really scared of mutations or alternative bioweapons? at 7:00 minutes he compares his calls to pfizer CEO
about vaccine delivery to checking munitions in a war. He is obviously proud of his ability to have acquired so many vaccines in such a quick time.

The other thing I noticed is the urgent need to cut time in the processes. Again like we are hurtling towards a deadline. At around 11:20 he says its just a matter of time and looks off screen at someone. In fact every mention of time seems to come with a glance offscreen at someone. His target is 95% of the population.

When talking about mutation he doesn’t seem overly concerned. He is also very keen on having at least available a vax for kids although wants them tested first.

Towards the end of the video, he says “when it comes to defence matters” he again glances offscreen at someone, this time talking about cyber security industry.

So there we have it.

Don’t dismiss Leunig because of his past politics.

Wouldn’t dream of it.

He would not be the first lefty to discover that they actually have the right wing opinions and called themselves left out of habit.

My favourite case is the American playwright, David Mamet. I remember hearing that he had an epiphany when driving in his car and listening to the radio. It may have been someone who was mocking conservative commentators laying out one after another their most objectionable beliefs but, much to his surprise, Mamet found himself with increasing energy agreeing.

I went looking for the story (well, clicked Gulag and it wasn’t in the first few answers) but did not see a reference for the story so it could be apocryphal or misattributed. So I clicked on the IMDB link and found a resonant quote:

Before the US [2006] mid-term elections, my rabbi was taking a lot of flak. The congregation is exclusive-liberal, yet he is a self-described independent (read “conservative”) and he was driving the flock wild. Why? Because a) he never discussed politics; and b) he taught that the quality of political discourse must be addressed first; that Jewish law teaches that it is incumbent upon one to hear the other fellow out.

‘So I, like many of the liberal congregation, began – teeth grinding – to attempt to do so. And in doing so I recognised that I held two views of America.

‘One was of a state where everything was magically wrong and must be immediately corrected at any cost; and the other (the world in which I actually functioned day to day) was made up of people who were in the main reasonably trying to maximise their comfort by getting along with one another (in the workplace, the marketplace, the jury room, even the school meeting).

‘And I realised that the time had come for me to avow my participation in the country in which I chose to live – and that this country was not a schoolroom teaching values, but a marketplace.

It is true.

And this seems apposite to the times:

The poker player learns that sometimes both science* and common sense are wrong; that the bumblebee can fly**; that, perhaps, one should never trust an expert; that there are more things in heaven and earth than are dreamt of by those with an academic bent.

* Obviously ‘science’ refers to the science we know, which even now is often flummoxed by things, is confident they are in accordance with natural laws, but cannot explain.

** I believe they have worked out now how it is possible for a bumble bee to fly – but for the longest time they could not. And just appealing to an expert, who is at best a compendium of orthodoxy, would have got you nowhere.

Trying to prevent WW3 by devastating China’s military infrastructure now. The rate of Chinese military build up is astonishing. China has also been trying to establish alliances with the “stan” countries in middle Asia and already has Pakistan on side. Russia remains an unknown quantity but would probably remain neutral because its primary military advantages are air defense(s 400\500) and a gazillion tanks. It has very capable aircraft but the air force is so bereft of funds it is a bit of a joke.

I’m not one to become paranoid but given what my friend told me about the US military personnel moving into Australia, and the AUUKUS treaty which I think is more about setting up Australia as a servicing facility for the US military than those submarines, the carrier fleets parked in the South China Sea, the recent removal of Patriot missile batteries from Saudi Arabia presumably to be redeployed in Asia, the increased presence of F 22’s in Okinawa, and various US military strategists arguing the longer we wait to deal with China the bigger the threat, all suggest to me Zipster that the deadline is looming.

Methinks Ms Byrne is looking for attention…having been gazumped by the likes of Kylie Minogue and Tina Arena.

Debra Byrne slams Young Talent Time co-stars years after bombshell sexual abuse claims

Former Queen of pop Debra Byrne has slammed her former Young Talent Time co-stars, years after bombshell allegations.

Former Queen of pop Debra Byrne has slammed her former Young Talent Time co-stars, years after making bombshell allegations over her treatment on the show.

Byrne, 64, who was a founding cast member of the 1970s variety show, took aim at former show host Johnny Young and performers Tina Arena and Dannii Minogue after the trio appeared on Sunday night’s 50th anniversary special on Channel 10.

In 2014, the Logie award winner claimed she was sexually abused while working on the show during separate incidents in 1971 when she was a teenager, which left her “a very disturbed girl”.

During her appearance on Channel 10’s Young Talent Time Unmasked on Sunday, Arena, 53, said the show was a safe environment as the cast was protected.

“What’s really important to point out as well is the role that family played in that show. We were all part of a family, we all grew together. If we made mistakes, we made mistakes together. It was wonderful, it was a family and that was something that was very much guided by yourself,” the Sorrento Moon singer said.

“What we have unfortunately seen today, and we can see that with Britney Spears’ story, this girl was not protected. We were. We were [protected] by our own families and we were protected by you. That is a gift.”

Byrne criticised Arena’s comments.

“It has nothing to do with luck. It takes mindfulness, organisation, vigilance, intelligence, awareness and an understanding that wherever children gather there is likely to be an abuser. For me there were many,” Byrne wrote.

Confidential has contacted Channel 10, Young and Arena for comment.

Debra Byrne slammed her Young Talent Time co-stars in a series of scathing Facebook posts which have now been deleted.

Byrne, who appeared on the show for four years before launching a singing career, previously made claims on Facebook while calling on witnesses to come forward.

During one alleged incident, she claims she was “digitally raped” by a Young Talent Time crew member.

She claims another incident occurred while filming a commercial.

Byrne claims one of her attackers was previously convicted for “carnal knowledge” and given a 12-month good behaviour bond.

Anna Young, who is Young’s daughter, previously urged Byrne to report any incidents to the police.

“He would like her to go to the police, if she feels so strongly about it, rather than put it on Facebook,” Anna previously said.

“He feels if any woman has been wronged in any way – he’s very protective – go to the police, don’t put it on Facebook. We wish her all the best, if she does feel there is something that happened to her I agree with my dad, she really needs to go to the police.”

It appears that all governments are so mad with power, and so isolated from their constituents that they are driving their economies into the ground.
This is a prize example.
It’s about parasitic government and its demands on the productive sector.
The West – Christendom – is currently in crisis because the economic decision making is being made from political necessity, not economic realism.
The parasite cannot stop its demands, even when it becomes aware it is killing the host. That awareness cannot percolate through to effective action, the political body is incapable of this level of self perception. It will always delude itself that it is doing what is necessary.

First, characters are inserted into the story from prequels, that are not part of the original books.
Second, black-washed and girl-washed characters. Characters that were clearly male are swapped to female, the woke paradigm is everywhere present. Asimov was a white male. His characters are white males.
Third, clones – do not exist in the Foundation trilogy.
Fourth, Seldon is murdered – never happened.
Fifth, Anacreon is destroyed – never happened.
Sixth, Trantor was not attacked until the second book.
Seventh, the Foundation council are idiots. Which number system to preserve! Asimov wrote that the council were naive, not that they were idiots. The Council, being diligent archivists, would have preserved ALL number systems.
Eighth, Savlor Hardin came after the Foundation had been established on Terminus for some years. His story is saving Terminus from Anacreon – now destroyed.
Ninth, Gaal Dornik is elevated from a minor character used by Seldon to precipitate exile on Terminus and a plot device to explain the Empire to a major character – and is the wrong sex – NEVER HAPPENED!
The whole thing is an abomination and deserves to be rocketed into the Sun.

Thanks for reminding me of Mamet….a thinker, unlike so many in the arts.

I interviewed David Mamet in the 1980s when the Melbourne Theatre Company staged his Pulitzer Prize-winning play Glengarry Glen Ross – a marvellous yarn about unscrupulous real estate sharks selling Florida swampland to gullible American idiots.

Mamet is a helluva writer, but his work in Glengarry went to another level, turning key scenes into a type of rhyming Beat poetry. Absolutely sublime – like his 1987 screen version of The Untouchables.

In the ‘80s, he was already well on his way to the escape route from the leftard plantation.

Harking back to Arky’s tale about being security at what turned out to be (at the very least) a huge nude party, I wonder how many senior Coalition figures, in and out of Parliaments, have been compromised by attendance at such events.

The Liars/Slime wouldn’t care if they were recorded in compromising positions at such events, as their propensity for bedroom hopping is well known. But it would be different for Coalition members, who try to present themselves as ordinary family people.

“PwC seeks legal advice over Wuhan bat skit

Accounting and consultancy heavyweight PwC is understood to have sought legal advice following staff outrage over two executives mocking Chinese accents and dressing up as a ‘bat from Wuhan’ during an internal trivia event.

Last Thursday’s trivia event also contained an allegedly racist trivia question in which a series of company logos were shown including Chinese tech company Huawei, with contestants asked which best represented communism.

PwC chief executive Tom Seymour has apologised to staff that attended the event for the incident, which he said “did not reflect the values and culture of our firm and which has caused discomfort and offence”.

“The behaviour included two racist and offensive sketches which, whilst unintentional, were thoughtless and harmful,” he said in an email that was sent to staff on Tuesday morning.

“On behalf of all the team at PwC, I am extremely disappointed that this incident has occurred,” Mr Seymour said.

“We have shared communications with our partners and staff reminding them to consider how our behaviour can impact others. Put simply, our ask is that our people put themselves in other people’s shoes.”

All PwC partners were emailed about the incident on Monday, with Mr Seymour holding a company town hall in the afternoon in which he apologised to attendees of the trivia event.

Mr Seymour urged staff to “speak up” if they saw behaviour “that doesn’t feel right and is inappropriate”.

PwC said Mr Seymour would hold further company webcasts to discuss the broader issue of inclusion at the firm later this week.

“I am hugely disappointed we fell short of the standard we hold ourselves to,” Mr Seymour said.

PwC has in recent years pushed to widen diversity among its workforce.

“One of the best aspects of my career at PwC has been the opportunity to work with colleagues from all backgrounds, cultures and beliefs,” Mr Seymour said.

“We aspire to be an inclusive and caring organisation. We have to work harder to meet this goal.”

The night trivia was one of many run by the company as a morale boosting activity, but has reportedly left many PwC staff questioning attitudes of company management.

The behaviour of two HR executives will now be investigated by a People and Ethical Conduct Panel, with potential disciplinary action or termination an outcome.

PwC said it would expedite the investigation process, aiming to resolve the matter within the week.

The group stressed that while the racist trivia events were first circulated on the Instagram page The Aussie Corporate on Saturday, the firm was aware of the allegations by Friday.

In a post the Instagram page warned the incident would “hit the mainstream soon”.

The page offers anonymous submission of tips.

Diversity and inclusion but no laughter.

My God we live in ridiculous times.

I think we can assume the fix is in at Sky, as everywhere else.

Absolutely. We thought that too re that piece.

Also, very disgusted today with Sky. Turned on Afternoon Agenda with a late lunch and some baby-faced wimp guy was interviewing a Lib and a Lab (wasn’t paying enough attention for names and unlike Cassie I just don’t know them all) on matters climate and coal-ish. The Lib guy scored over the interviewer because he’d actually read the IPCC Report, not just the policy document on it which was all the interviewer knew of it, and as the Lib guy’s time to put his position came up the Lab guy just would not let him put it – he kept on shouting the Lib down and arguing over him so that you literally couldn’t hear what the Lib guy was saying. And nowhere did the so-called interviewer intervene, he just came in after about four minutes of this overriding voice of the Lab and changed the topic!! NO apology to the Lib guy for the overriding by the Lab guy, Lib guy not given time then to put the case he was shouted down from making.

That’s what they do, says Hairy, the Labor Deep Greenies. Shouting you down. Deplatforming you. Insisting you are wrong and have no right to speak.

And Sky News totally OK with this, quite complicit in fact, in an ABC sort of two (including interviewer quite obviously by his actions) against one.

I turned it off. Wonder how I can make my disgust known to Sky and if it’s worth it.

Is Foundation series on Apple+ worth watching?

I believe they have also wrecked Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World, creating a series not so much about the dystopia of a world where, in contrast to the gritty impoverished world of 1984, people are denatured and dulled by pleasure and convenience through technology.

Apparently they have turned it into a teen-romance-angst sort of thing.
