Two thumbs up, Tom! Thanks.
Alex Berenson was cranking out some monster numbers before twitter canned him.
He’s speculating that was the real reason they did it.
The follower growth did not begin to capture what was happening to its reach. In August 2021, it generated more than 210 million impressions and 25 million profile views, up from 192 million in July and 105 million (and 7 million profile views) in April.
It demonstrates the value of twitter.
And just how bad Jack is as a CEO not to generate better returns for shareholders.
Any harsh words for people claiming that Pope Francis is pro abortion and the Catholic Church profits from the abortion industry?
Or are they only for people who had the temerity to use a different urban dictionary definition of ‘ratio’ to the one you looked up?

I don’t like Pope Francis but I very much doubt that he is pro abortion and that the Church benefits from the abortion industry. Just more offensive conspiracy drivel from the Nongbat.

These jabs are not vaccines or people are being reclassified upon death.
One or the other.
The thing the jabbed fear most about the unjabbed, is not sitting next to them in a restaurant, but the fact everyday they are more right and the jabbed are more wrong.
You took an untested genetic concoction that has killed more people already compared to all other vaccines combined in the history of vaccine existence, because here’s the logical conclusion you can’t escape.
Either the vaccines don’t work or the The PCR tests are complete bullshit.
Which is it?
It has to be one of these things that do not work.
It has to be one.
But it can be both.
Those that research this shit before blindly following the orders of climate loon globalist bureaucrats and politicians, themselves following CCC orders, know in fact both are rubbish.

Humans are Hackable Animals
For some reason an 18 year old with no qualifications in anything is worth listening to…
Swedish climate activist, Greta Thunberg, has ridiculed world leaders at the Youth4Climate conference in Milan, saying that “hopes and dreams are drowned in their empty words and promises’’.
The 18-year-old mocked several phrases used by British prime minister Boris Johnson and French president Emmanuel Macron and the commonly-promoted hopes of politicians to strive for net zero carbon emissions by 2050.
“Leaders have had 30 years of ‘blah blah blah’ and where has that led us? Over 50 per cent of all our CO2 emissions have occurred since 1990, and a third since 2005,” she said.
“All this while the media is reporting on what the leaders say they are going to do, instead of what they are actually doing. And then not holding leaders accountable for their action, or rather inaction.”
Ms Thunberg was a guest speaker at the youth climate congress, a forerunner to the Cop26 climate conference in Glasgow at the end of October, and in her speech expressed frustration at decades of environmental inaction.
“There is no Planet B, there is no planet blah – blah, blah, blah; blah, blah, blah. This is not about some expensive politically correct green act, bunny hugging, or blah blah blah. Build back better, blah blah blah; green economy, blah blah blah; Net Zero by 2050, blah blah blah. Net Zero, blah blah blah. Climate neutral, blah blah blah.
“This is all we hear from our so-called leaders: words, words that sound great but so far has led to no action – our hopes and dreams drowned in their empty words and promises.”
She warned that the world was speeding in the wrong direction, with 2021 projected to have the second highest emission rise.
“Only about two per cent of government recovery spendings have been allocated to clean energy measures, and according to a new report by the UN, global emissions are expected to rise by 16 per cent by 2030 compared to 2010 levels,” she said.
“Our leaders’ intentional lack of action is a betrayal towards all present and future generations. The people in power cannot claim that they are trying because they are clearly not. If this is what they consider to be climate action, then we don’t want it.”
Ms Thunberg said it would take “drastic annual emission cuts unlike anything the world has ever seen”, demanding immediate action.
Thunberg is just an old bold scold. The Pipi Longstocking pigtails and idiot savant schtick just don’t cut it any more.
The Cause needs a younger face.
Spot on, TE, but sadly Hot-Button-Sutton has a medical degree, and my dog makes more sense when it whimpers.
Qualifications count for nought, nowadays, when it comes to wise and worldly comment.
On the corporate website plenty of photos from the USA. No masks, no mention of Covid.
The world has moved on except the mongs in Australia.

Hey scoffers…..
I’m putting a theory out there.
It’s just a guess, but from what I’ve read and seen, who knows?!
Klaus and his mates aren’t the closest of mates.
There you go.
Lefties use each other until services are no longer required.
China would have been quite supportive of their UN/WEF allies staging this global scandemic to get Trump out and seize, or should I say re-seize control.
Looks an awful lot like the people who us conspiracy theorists know are Klaus’s graduates, Macron, Trudeau, Hunt, Boris, Ardern and many others are being made to pick their sides now.
Or to declare it.
They’ve well and truly chosen already.
Global Socialist Megalomaniacs do not play well in the sand pit together.
Puts Ardern in a bothersome predicament.
Although the Davos Commo Climate Cult has captured Australia, they haven’t got the USA and some other smaller nations.
So what could be really going on between China and the UN/CCC here?
I am mainly talking to the people that have got past this being about a virus.
Those that know the corporate MSM are being paid off.
Will they consider once they know they have complete control of Australia with a passport system that our traitorous media still need to be bought off?
Or will that just be done via our taxes?
The reason I ask this is that due to the level of control they will be able to achieve due to this new digital age, It won’t matter what the press writes anymore.
A small pravda ABC for announcements is all they will need.
And who is seeing the tide turn on twitter and other social media, or is it just my experience.
Seems you tell people two jabs and your free but then don’t deliver, wakes at least a few more of the politically apathetic, mouth breathers referred to be kinder folk as Australians.
The left haven’t conceded defeat, but the useful idiots are now backing away from taking every chance to virtue signal.
Is there hope?
You can guarentee 1 thing Doc. B1 & B2 will be looking to muzzle up Qld wide by the weekend.
1 December 2021 is freedom day.
Eventually I hope to be able to cut and paste everything on the innernet to somewhere else on the innernet.
Eventually.

“NO SOUL, NO FREE WILL.” – THE END OF HUMANITY?
This is the video I linked above under “hackable humans”. It’s 10 minutes long and gives a genuine insight into the mindset of the people at the top of this pyramid of destruction and despair. It also holds a warning of the real end game, which we have already heard but which is clearly set out here.
Is Macron perhaps alluding to the sinking of Rainbow Warrior in Auckland harbour?

https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2021/sep/28/anita-hill-on-sexual-harassment-and-survival-you-have-to-think-what-is-my-life-for
In the pantheon of women shamed for exposing the actions of high-profile men – before Christine Blasey Ford in 2018 and Monica Lewinsky in 1998 – there was Anita Hill. In 1991, the US president, George HW Bush, nominated Clarence Thomas to the supreme court. Senate hearings for his confirmation were completed without incident, until an interview of Hill by the FBI was leaked to the press. In it, Hill accused Thomas of sexual harassment while he was her supervisor in two separate jobs, at the Department of Education and the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. Among other claims, Hill said that Thomas discussed women having sex with animals, and pornographic films depicting group sex or rape scenes, and described his own sexual prowess and anatomy. According to Hill, Thomas’s behaviour forced her to resign from her job.
The Senate hearings reopened, and Hill repeated her claims in a series of televised sessions. Not only was she not believed, her character and motivation were impugned by members of the all-white, all-male Senate committee. The senator Orrin Hatch called her allegations “contrived” and her motivations suspect as she was working with “slick lawyers” and interest groups bent on destroying Thomas’s chances to join the court.
Thomas was confirmed by a slim margin of 52-48. Since then people have been contacting Hill to tell her what they went through – and she has chosen to embrace the role.

Trust me on this, it is a little more than indifference.
French fashion, cooking, wine etc, with traditions harking back to France’s glory days, may well still be the measure against which others a judged, but the current government has no such connection and was never part of that glory.
Politically they are just another socialist province of the EU.
And France’s prestige is just an overhang from the past – the parts the government has not meddled with and killed yet.
Freedom is an abstract notion. A Platonic ideal. The cry of the utopian.
Freedoms, otoh, are an Aristotelian reality; moral rights that are ours because we are human beings.
The state does not grant them, but should recognise and encode them in law.

Good morning Dover,
I am going to compile a list of the points you made regarding Fernwood and combine them with the relevant legislation that Dot has often mentioned. I will approach them directly and see what they have to say.
I’m hoping the financial hit they are going to take will force them to revise their stance before the legal avenue is taken.
The idea is to protect the weak, not to make everyone weak so you can protect even more of them.

I don’t remember media watch having a go at Magrot.

The senator Orrin Hatch called her allegations “contrived” and her motivations suspect as she was working with “slick lawyers” and interest groups bent on destroying Thomas’s chances to join the court.
Wow!
So the first hint that she is not being treated fairly is that she is not straight out believed on the power of her mere say so.
Then there is the dog-whistle of ‘all-white, all-male’. They are always up to no good. If a woman is black and a man white you know the man is trying to destroy her.
Then there is the shameful ‘cover’ for their outright prejudice and their campaign to smear her credibility – that she is working with groups dedicated to blocking Thomas’ confirmation. That harmless, incidental circumstance was used against her.
Ah, Teh Gruniad.
If you are free to do as you please without hurting others, than you are free.
Any thing else is a tyranny.
A seat belt law enforced is a tyranny.
A helmet law is a tyranny.
Freedom”s” can only be spoken of in the past tense.
You cannot gain freedoms.
You can only remove tyrannies.
Freedom is not an abstract concept at all.
Before you argue back telling me I’m exaggerating and being dramatic, no one voted for these things to be made law, and as those laws impinge on freedom of choice while harming no one else, it is tyrannical.
We let this shit go in Australia to the point where they told you what colour shirt you had to wear to work, which no one voted for.
The tyrannies increased.
You can remove tyrannical laws, unjust laws, but you cannot gain freedoms -plural.
It’s all about the language used, and you should know better than grant it’s ownership to the left.
The NSW government will not be giving freedoms.
It will be (maybe, and only to a chosen few) removing some tyrannical restrictions while in fact no one is free at all.
COVID-19 disaster payments to be scaled back as vaccination rates rise
Financial support for people who have lost work due to COVID-19 will soon be wound back, with the federal government looking to discourage states from imposing lockdowns once vaccination rates hit their targets.
And in the ultimate irony, the safety shirts the left forced us to wear, have of course become the most unsafe garment to have on……… in Melbourne especially.

Meeeeow!
Pixie?
Pah-leese.
It’s Doom Goblin.
I was in a multi-company zoom meeting yesterday with bugmen representatives from all east coast big states.
What do you do when 20%-30% of the population, the back bone of the ruling elite: the professional middle class, think they’re personally in imminent danger of dying, if people don’t do exactly as they’re told by the political and media class told no matter what, without asking any questions?
It’s getting a little dangerous in this country. Getting a Jonestown / Salem vibey.
Creating an incentive for states to sabotage vaccination efforts and then further blame Morrison: one for the ‘lagging’ vaccination, two for not supporting ‘aussies’ during the ‘pandemic’.
Holy shit these people are retards.
But the identity politics in the dismissive use of ‘all-male’ and ‘all white’ is manifestly ridiculous – if for nothing other than that already many times observed reason that accusing a whole sex of sexism, and a whole race of racism is the very thing supposedly being denounced.
‘Da Patriarchy’ assumes that men feel a special solidarity with other men against women. It means I would feel a stronger affinity with some guy in the Western suburbs that I have not met than I do with my own wife or daughters (if I had any, but stay with me here). I would trust him more, and would take his side in any discussion with women I know.
Same with the raaaaacism. Would I feel an instant empathy for the bogan who beat up my Indian neighbour than for my Indian neighbour with whom I go to the pub and watch the footy with?
Or the case of some trailer trash (to use an Americanism) who appeared on TV having been arrested for roping a Chinese woman. If the Chinese woman next door, who comes to my place for BBQ’s and to whose place we go to swim in the pool, was angry – I would want to say (even if I bit my tongue) that it was less serious than she was making out?
We really ought not call them progressives – they are too stupid to realise it is being used ironically. They are not progressing anywhere. They are trying to navigate the world not with the map but just the legend because it is simpler.
From a very close friends who are cops:
Nah, the Maroon wants Greece to help pay to defend France’s Pacific possessions.
The truth of the hospital crisis in Melbourne is coming to light.
Ambulances ramping in northern suburb hospitals making big news.
A spokesman for a hospital said the Covid calls for paramedics and the admissions slowed the whole system badly.
He asked people not to ring an ambulance and present at hospital unless they have severe symptoms.
So, Andrews, Sutton and the terror merchants have panicked the community with the “deadly – can deteriorate rapidly” message and created a crisis.
Thank the lord these idiots were not in charge during WWII.
There were some real gumby’s in the older gen-x crowd. Probably 30%, just really unusual characters.
They just look like gumby’s, weird personalities. You know them.
Morrison and Frydengberg are a couple of those gumbys. Just look at them!
I’m beginning to see this in person. I’m daily walking maskless past (and occasionally through) large groups of regular uniformed cops. The only one who’s yet said anything was one I almost bumped into by accident on a street corner. And I still walked away without a mask, or a fine. Beyond that, it must be taking superhuman powers of deliberately looking the other way to miss my shiny mug. They are plainly over this crap.
It is still no defence.
And the robocops are still loving every minute of this.
You can see in some of the Cossack and Avi vids that the cops are sharing the joke and smiling/laughing behind the mask. While “just following orders” ultimately may not cut it … Good on them anyhow. You can also see some cops rather than sharing the humour react aggressively and violently as they hate it being a butt of humour and made look like a fool. The mask protects them too…
However the longer it goes the more the cops will be worn down. And the good ones will leave. And – this is the real problem – the psychopaths will stay and the good ones will be replaced by others who like beating up on people…
Thank the lord these idiots were not in charge during WWII.
They wouldn’t have been on our side.
If we could (without financially screwing ourselves) we would both resign. We are hating it and the bullshit. Both totally over the heavy handed, ego driven and unnecessary policing response. I’m hating being a cop. I want out. Haven’t really been doing my job (actual police duties) because I’ve been put on rubbish Covid duties. We’re really feeling down.
Not good enough.
Not good enough by a long shot.
There are other jobs about.
Do not accept the Nuremberg excuse.
The eldest sons of the boomers got fucked up a lot, definitely dealt a hard hand to play. First child of young boomers and all their weird attitudes and all the shit going on mid-1970’s. They grew up in this strange milieu of teachers and institutions still being ultra rigid and authoritarian, schools run by the greatest generation, getting whipped on the arse and knuckles by WW2 return service hard-arses (violent, physically abusive PSTD ridden crazies in many cases), but the culture getting all sexual and libertine and whacky with them as the target. They burned bright in the ’90’s, started to fade by ’99, had one last rally in the mid 2000’s, Howard, Nationalism, Jetski’s, Gold Coast pumping, surf life, motocross, Big Day Out, Internet, entrepreneurship, trading anything and everything, beef cakes bashing people in Surfers paradise and Kings Cross, then Cronulla their last and finest moment. Then the GFC hit, they had kids and simply disappeared up the arse of corporate Australia and turned into 40-going-on-90 low-Testosterone effeminate The Australian / SMH reading cucks.
Sad!

Just finished one of my thrice-weekly dance classes, a mix of styles, my faves are the balletic ones.
I also do a high intensity/low intensity ‘weights plus exercise’ class on Saturdays.
I forget about any odd aches and twinges, insufficiencies, for they diminish with activity. In the balletic warm-up I go back to when I was learning ballet more than sixty-five years ago in a Church hall, still knowing how to get the hands right, and doing the plie, arabesque, chasse, ronde-de-jambe, barre work and floor work. In my mind I’m back in my early teens, lost in the moment, a little grace against inevitably advancing years.
These classes are an absolute boon offering structure during lockdown. My girlfriends, these days between sixty and eighty, all log in and as the classes are in real time we know we are still dancing together. Small beer in the scheme of things I know, but in small ways do we survive strange times.

We have a vegie patch going now in the lower garden where the fruit trees are doing so well.
I could keep hens down there too if needs must. I used to have chickens of my own as a kid, and I know a lot about small-scale farming, although vegie growing is a steep learning curve for me. Doubt if the neighbours would approve of a pig as well though, or a goat to keep the grass down and give milk. It’s a watercourse down there, so we could dig out a small fish pond too. Very monastic, we could be.

NEWS ALERT
Facebook Efforts to Attract Preteens Go Beyond What Is Publicly Known, Documents Show
Inside Facebook, employees have spent years laying plans to attract preteens, spurred by fears the company could lose a new generation of users critical to its future.
The company formed a team to study preteens, set a three-year goal to create more products for them and commissioned strategy papers about the long-term business opportunities presented by these potential users, internal documents reviewed by The Wall Street Journal show. In one presentation, Facebook contemplated whether there might be a way to engage children during play dates.
Facebook’s approach to young users is expected to be addressed during a Senate subcommittee hearing Thursday. In calling for the hearing, lawmakers cited Journal reporting that Facebook’s own research has shown Instagram can have a negative effect on teen mental health, especially among girls.
On Monday, Adam Mosseri, head of Instagram, said the company would pause the development of a version of the app for children, often referred to as Instagram Kids. In a written statement for this article, he said, “It’s not new and it’s not a secret that social-media companies try to understand how teens and preteens use technology. Like all technology companies, of course, we want to appeal to the next generation, but that’s entirely different from the false assertion that we knowingly attempt to recruit people who aren’t old enough to use our apps.”
Unlike other parts of the investigation, this one is paywalled.

My virtue signalling today was fun. Went out walking and elderly lady down the road asked me to help – the BoM is forecasting bad stormy stuff and she wanted someone tall to put a few bricks onto her shed roof, which was lifting a bit.
Longest 1 minute job ever. Because first I was spotted by grey butcherbird, who landed on hand for some breakfast. Then lady magpie jumps onto fence begging. Then male magpie arrives. Then grey butcherbird, having stored first breakfast is back for another breakfast. Eventually bricks get put onto shed roof…
I think I made her day though.
I take it no-one is sick though?
That’s all I’d care about if I get Covid. Don’t fancy more hospital.
I’d quite like a light dose of Covid because the immunity is better from that than the vax.

If it is an ER protest the vox-poppers will be “concerned grandparents” and earnest (but photogenic) students. If it is an anti-lockdan protest, the vox-poppers will be a carefully curated selection of “5G implants peterfiles in tunnels” lunatics.

My Mum sent me a picture of a bedraggled junior Tawny Frogmouth that was resting on a concrete laundry tubs in her garden. Wow! I love those guys.
Good on you Bruce. A nice gentleman helping out would surely have cheered her up.
I still go up a stepladder but Hairy likes to be around when I insist on doing so. He actually does all of the really heavy lifting and big ladder work around our place, while I stand and flutter about how he shouldn’t be doing it and to hire a tradesman in to do it. Your brother ended up in hospital falling off his ladder at home, I remind him. As Hairy’s 70 next birthday I’m hoping he may soon start to listen.
That said, yesterday we both did some lifting, putting back the outdoor furniture into the new terrace rooms. Lucky it’s cane and not too heavy, but quite cumbersome and needed two to do it.
Bruce, my Currawong mum birdie, sitting somewhere on her new nest, still comes for her supplementary feed from me. I push the meat under the new frameless glass on the open verandah area and she swoops down to perch on the edge of the stone tiles to eat a bit and whip the rest of it off to her larder. She was totally freaked the other day to suddenly see Attapuss twitching at her behind the glass door in our bedroom. Even through two layers of glass, he looked menacing and she fled. He’s forbidden to go out when I feed her, but now I have to draw the curtains too or shut him in his room so that she doesn’t spot him. He’s also taken to creating a fuss if he doesn’t get some birdfood mince too. He’s gone right off his FussyCat.
Twenty five years ago it was established that daycares are massive incubators of disease, including being ground zero for many antibiotic resistant bacterial infections that spread outwards and kill old people.
The problem is structural with the entire system of parents ‘needing’ to go back to work and so ‘having’ to put toddlers in before they are better, and so demanding antibiotics and lying about their child’s health state.
So due to the nature of the system where parents send their sick babies and toddlers into the system still very sick on a regular basis, hopped up on their third dose of antibiotics that year, which puts upwards pressure on the diseases, and centres being for-profit, will not tell parents to not bring children in and parents will just lie or drop them at another centre anyway an ugly disease system is created.
By the standard that COVID is held to, and if this were an actual plague pandemic daycares would have been shutdown and banned as incubator and community spreading centre #1 that they are known to be last year.
But no. Clown world must continue.
I think I made her day though.

I think there’s a little problem with the daycare system that the government spends billions of dollars a year artificially sustaining. If they’re so concerned about public health and not killing grandmas four degrees of separation away from people, and all that.

Stop thinking our kids will be lumbered with massive government debts; they won’t be
If you’re one of the many who worry about how we’ll pay off the massive debt the Morrison government has incurred during the pandemic, the Parliamentary Budget Office has reassuring news.
The budget office – which is responsible to the whole Parliament and so is independent of the elected government – has prepared its own projections of the budget deficit and debt over the decade to 2032.
Thats fat Cats Monty, Ph.D. in wrongology.
Young Truckie telling me they are putting people through a quick 8 week course in SA and arming them and sticking them on the border and are not in anyway police.
Anyone know much more?
No they artificially incubate and spread nasty diseases that would not exist without them.
It is not normal for societies to cram dozens of babies and toddlers together in filthy bacteria ridden rooms alongside other toddlers hopped up on massive dosages of increasingly powerful antibiotics for chest and gastro infections that they cannot get rid of because they can’t be at home in bed and resting for the three weeks that they need to clear it up.
This is brand new.

Enter The Beloved, banging the front gate behind him. I have never seen a snake run, but this one would beat Usein Bolt. Up like lightning into the bay tree, where it disguised itself cunningly as a branch. The coast clear, it then popped back onto the sill to complete its tanning.
Other reptile residents include the blue tongues, one that lives cosily under the pool coping and the other under the air con. Too big for the kookas, they sun themselves languidly on the paving. Also an explosion of baby water dragons. Now they are definitely a kooka’s breakfast.
“Thank the Lord that these idiots were not in charge during WWII”.

The other highlight was when the Chairman announced that the Party Office would all be undertaking anti-sematism training. Even the brain dead delegates pissed themselves.

It’s exactly what you would do if you wanted to spread disease throughout society, and maybe even create a few new variants.

Oddly, so-called “progressives” (actually regressives) campaigned for years against the style of narrative history.
Re people’s immunity being low after all this. I worked from home for five years, when I went back to an office in the city I was sick for two years with random ear and chest infections. Just picked up all the grubby low level adult sickness that I’d missed out on for five years I guess.

If that’s your own work I see a future where you are an important contributor to Tom’s morning cartoon role call.
Having many babies it’s interesting to watch how illness affects very young children.
How they can be 95% over an infection, then all it takes is one hour of over-excitement, one night where they come in 10 minutes too late and the cold air gets into them, and they go right back to square one of being green phlegm, barking, germ factories for another week again.
But one thing that I do know for certain, toddlers regularly take weeks to get over colds and flu, and that’s at home in a stress free environment. I feel terrible sympathy for toddlers having to be sick at daycare. I mean, it’s bad enough being an adult and having to be at work if you feel like shit with a chest infection that will not shift, how much worse for a babe!

Just this morning I went for a walk with a neighbour who was telling me that a cousin had died in hospital and that while his unvaxxed son was allowed to visit him, his daughter, who was double vaxxed, was not. She was told that if she came to the hospital she would likely get sick herself!
