I have had the following conversation on innumerable occasions with young men of about 20 who have been unemployed since leaving school, and whose general educational level is outlined above: ‘Have you thought of improving your education?’ ‘No.’ ‘Why not?’ ‘There’s no point. There are no jobs.’ ‘Could there be any other reason to get educated?’ ‘No.

Unfortunately DB for many young people education is only about getting a job. We are doomed.

Not only did they lose the war against the Taliban but …
They had no fucking idea that the Taliban could advance at the rate they did,
They gifted the Taliban $90,000,000,000 worth of military kit,
They actually bragged about how well their evacuation operation went despite it resulting in the death of 13 US service personnel and leaving up to 200 US citizens behind, and
They bombed a car-load of kiddies in retaliation.
They could not have fucked it up any more if they tried. With that track record, I would be shocked if the tens of thousands of unvetted Afghans they brought to the US don’t include terrorist sleeper cells.
This Caravaggio chap is growing on me.

Merck produces an anti viral pill.
KENILWORTH, N.J. & MIAMI–(BUSINESS WIRE)– Merck (NYSE: MRK), known as MSD outside the United States and Canada, and Ridgeback Biotherapeutics today announced that molnupiravir (MK-4482, EIDD-2801), an investigational oral antiviral medicine, significantly reduced the risk of hospitalization or death at a planned interim analysis of the Phase 3 MOVe-OUT trial in at risk, non-hospitalized adult patients with mild-to-moderate COVID-19. At the interim analysis, molnupiravir reduced the risk of hospitalization or death by approximately 50%; 7.3% of patients who received molnupiravir were either hospitalized or died through Day 29 following randomization (28/385), compared with 14.1% of placebo-treated patients (53/377); p=0.0012. Through Day 29, no deaths were reported in patients who received molnupiravir, as compared to 8 deaths in patients who received placebo.
It would appear that some one advising Biden was working with the Taliban. Think of Benghazi.

Marvellous painting, Dover. I love Caravaggio’s style. He captures a precise moment in time, like a snapshot taken with a flash, and the facial expressions are sublime.
Just who exactly is it that Christ is calling? The bearded man, the young man at the far end who’s head is bowed, the youth? It doesn’t matter – He’s calling all of them but only one will get up and follow.
And that pointing hand – we’ve all seen it before in another work by another artist. (Hint-you have to look up).

Caravaggio was a very naughty boy and was always flaunting his lifestyle but could he paint . Upset the locals by using a prostitute to portray the Virgin .

How will the corporate media react to this?

Caravangio was, let’s just say, an unruly character, and his associates were accident prone.
Everyone handles worry in their own way guys. Sometimes bravado helps.
I found Arky’s description of the “threshold event” helpful. It chimed with my world view, but others will see it differently.
Meanwhile, I will face another day of velvet glove pestering, all for my own good of course. Not everyone sees the same thing, the same danger, and I really feel for poor Megan and her fractured family.
Withholding of grandchildren is the act of a desperate, over-emotional person. Which leads me to think that the young mum is under the pump too and punished the one she knew would offer unconditional forgiveness. As mums do.

Attention Hardcore Gym Loyalists,
On behalf of Hardcore Gym management & staff we hope that this email finds you well.
Hardcore Gym is a 25-year-old family-run & owned business, that upholds a strong value for family, community & human relationships. We hope that our valued Employees, members & guests share the same values.
Since our opening in 1997 Hardcore Gym has implemented zero tolerance towards segregation and discrimination and will continue to do so.
A large number of our employees, members, and guests have been an integral part of the Hardcore Gym family since they were teenagers who are now fathers. Our extended family includes people like this.
Upon analysing the information presented within the NSW State Government Roadmap to freedom we concluded that the management of a safe reopening on the 11th of October without discriminating against members, friends & guests will be an impossible task.
In conclusion, we have decided not to open our doors on the 11th of October.
We will carry the burden of waiting a little longer in order to serve every member and guest in a safe, respectable and honorable manner.
Hardcore Gym anticipates that you will be supportive of the decision that we have been forced to make.
We thank you for your support and your patience and look forward to seeing you all in the near future.
Your brother’s in humanity
Hardcore Gym management

I had a conversation the other night with my other half…the only person, I might add, whom I know has had Covid, btw….all he got was a bad headache for a few hours and for that headache he was locked away in quarantine, paid for by you and me, for over two weeks. Anyway, we discussed just how many small businesses in this state will rigorously enforce this. We don’t think many will, they need the business. Whilst Coles and Woollies are checking people, smaller supermarkets aren’t…..and for that I’m now doing more shopping at those smaller supermarket chains.
As I wrote yesterday, we have an important family dinner coming up and so I went to book a restaurant in Woollahra. On the website it said that it will check people’s vaccination “IDs”. I didn’t continue with the booking.

Just wondering, are Andrews latest autocratic decrees issued under the state of emergency? If so will they lapse when (if) the SOE ends? I think it currently runs till Christmas and he would again need the three moral vacuums in the upper house to extend it again.

Hmmm, just read that Qantas statement on reopening borders on MS News. Leaves a few questions, like if someone doesn’t live in NSW do they quarantine in their home state? How do they get there if that is the case? Also relies on a lot of good will from Premiers, good luck with Dicktator Dan & B1/B2 if that is the case. Lastly by the looks still no concrete date from the Feds. Any other airlines a part of it?
Early days yet I suppose and purveyors of the population ponzi are obviously getting restless. From what I read into it is that to go on a week to say Fiji you would have prove vaccination status, be a whim of the destination countries COVID entry rules, still quarantine on return. Why would any pleb bother, even for 2 weeks.

“PITY THE NATION”
Lawrence Ferlinghetti (After Khalil Gibran) 2007
Pity the nation whose people are sheep
And whose shepherds mislead them
Pity the nation whose leaders are liars
Whose sages are silenced
And whose bigots haunt the airwaves
Pity the nation that raises not its voice
Except to praise conquerors
And acclaim the bully as hero
And aims to rule the world
By force and by torture
Pity the nation that knows
No other language but its own
And no other culture but its own
Pity the nation whose breath is money
And sleeps the sleep of the too well fed
Pity the nation oh pity the people
who allow their rights to erode
and their freedoms to be washed away
My country, tears of thee
Sweet land of liberty!

As for mandates, I’m hoping they’ll get knocked over in the courts, if not they too have a very short use by date as politically driven covid mania dies its own death.

That’s for sure. But I think both parties in all states have past their use by dates. Sure if you break the LNP back into the LP and NP you’re still stuck with two bunches of wishy washy careerists who believe in nothing.
What do you think pathologists do today? Simply in the breadth of his knowledge and interests Leonardo was indeed a genius.

Oct 1 (Reuters) – An experimental antiviral pill developed by Merck & Co (MRK.N) could halve the chances of dying or being hospitalized for those most at risk of contracting severe COVID-19, according to data that experts hailed as a potential breakthrough in how the virus is treated.
If it gets authorization, molnupiravir, which is designed to introduce errors into the genetic code of the virus, would be the first oral antiviral medication for COVID-19.
Merck and partner Ridgeback Biotherapeutics said they plan to seek U.S. emergency use authorization for the pill as soon as possible and to make regulatory applications worldwide.
“An oral antiviral that can impact hospitalization risk to such a degree would be game changing,” said Amesh Adalja, senior scholar at the Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security.

I have a feeling Perrottet does have some spine…the Perrottet family endured an ordeal, a few years ago, where they were the subject of the progressive culture wars. I won’t elaborate and luckily the Perrottet family came out on top….but it was brutal.
I put this at the end of the 27/9 thread, but would like it here too, because as I said there as well, I did not think it was mandatory to sign up to Riccardo’s Edict to be a Catallaxian these days:
I am on record (Quadrant, June 2020) publically questioning the proportionality of the governmental responses to a pandemic that I had judged for myself to be no reason to stop my travels in March.
Proportionality is something worth bearing in mind here too re the vaxx passports, which will die their natural death in a few months, as they must. Most Australians do not want to live by divide and rule and I along with others will be saying that loud and clear in daily activities.
I will never forget the threat of the 1945 haircut though. That is obscene.
Perrottet is doing a double-act with Kean.
So our hopes are dashed even before Tuesday.

The mild mannered ancient historian reveals his ferocious contempt for the Woke.
When the Australia Council cut off Quadrant’s piddling stipend ($40k a year, while Overland scored $70k-plus just to update its publishing system and web presence), Perrottet pushed for an emergency NSW grant to fill the gap. We might well have folded after being blindsided like that had that support not arrived in an hour of need. Quadrant now accepts no public monies (which is why you short-armed, deep-pocketed sorts should subscribe)
Perrottet is a politician, true. But he seems to have some core principles, good ones, and that in itself recommends him.
“Quadrant now accepts no public monies (which is why you short-armed, deep-pocketed sorts should subscribe)”
I subscribe! I love Quadrant.

If it is a hoax, we’ll see the legacy media go nuts.
If it’s spot on, we’ll see the legacy media run dead on it.
Time will tell.
Calli, just sit tight. This being a government initiative, expect a total clusterf**k, like the COVIDsafe app but a thousand times worse.
Records won’t be entered, databases left with updates and, if previous form is any guide, the mere nuts and bolts of setting up a reliable registration system will be totally, and expensively, beyond them.
Given that Gladys said it won’t make any difference after Dec 1, when us lepers can rejoin society, you need only wait out the inevitable incompetence.
and your litotes is gaping
Perrottet is doing a double-act with Kean.
I had a premonition yesterday that, by hook or by crook, Kean was going to end up NSW deputy.
Perrotet might as well not bother.
I’m not trying to be a wet blanket but but there is absolutely no point in getting excited when when some lieboral or national replaces some other treacherous mediocrity. It’s happened recently with Guy and Joyce.
What? Is this some sort of something something?
Am I Hannibal Lecter? Is that it? Is that what this is about? A Soros thing? Hungary 1944?

Calli,
Defence is always done in depth, with multiple prepared defensive positions in the rear.
I’ve been talking extensively with many people (mostly husbands and fathers) of like mind. Many are not stupid enough to believe that as providers, etc that they can’t be forced into have the vax. However, they are going to push it (and their employers) to the limit. They are going to get the mandate in writing, so that the employer is responsible and accountable for future action. They may have it to keep their job, but they will then use that position to continue the fight against the two tier system and mandatory vaccination.
Some have already move to the second line of defence…a sad reality but they are still fighting.
The one line that seems to be the last defensive position, is mandatory vaccination of the kids. That one appears to be the stand, fight and die position.
Being forced into it isn’t a personal failing, it’s a reality of life and our current situation. Dusting yourself off and continuing to stand by your principles is the defining factor.
Nothing will happen, it won’t even be reported.
Another Friday afternoon dump by the deep state.

Good Morning Troops
I see things are as depressing as usual in Ozganistan
Hoping this may cheer you up

If you have an asian wife or girlfriend you will get it.
I have heard people calling him Canute.
Or something like that.
The ABC is concerned that Russia is concerned that Australia will have nuclear powered subs.
They’re also concerned that the EU is postponing a trade deal with Australia.
And they’re still concerned that China is “angry” with us.
All that “concern” in one sub 1000 word article
No by-line given. Treacherous and cowardly.
The whole scamdemic seems to have given some people’s sad, empty lives some meaning. It’s also a great way for nasty nobodies to make themselves feel important.
Yes, I tossed up trying this but that would’ve involved someone else being a “partner in crime”.
If they were, hypothetically, giving out saline shots I wouldn’t take one. I would be just as bad as the “I got the shot to get my freedoms back” brigade.
Thanks guys. Encouraging.
Like you, I’m reliant on this. 😀
Perrotet was just a name to me until yesterday when a few here were expressing some hope in him and I delved a bit deeper. Looks like that hope has already been dashed as he appears to be a believer in the “broad church”. I don’t suppose he’d be where he is if he wasn’t.
Sacré bleu! There was a contretemps on the ol’ thread last evening? Who’da thunk it.
Anyway, can’t help wondering what wonderful news lies in store today. Yesterday was a veritable roller coaster, with good and bad news in equal measure.
areff – I’ll consider a Quadrant subscription, but I’ve previously not bothered because of the Vogon poetry. Although I am starting to feel a bit guilty about all the free riding.
Milton, the world is full of mouthy idiots.
They seem to get worse after 6pm. Can’t imagine why.
Am I Hannibal Lecter? Is that it? Is that what this is about? A Soros thing? Hungary 1944?
Worse, much, much worse..
is nsw not requiring the fully vaxxed to isolate for 14 days after ‘close contact’ to minimise disruption to ‘essential services’
Seems like some people must be constantly rolling into quarantine.

Um? So learning how to use VBA to link your spreadsheets to customer email orders is bad?
Can anyone translate this McWilliam’s Brown Muscat inspired drivel?
Pretty please!?
Indeed, ivermectin has those results or better. Merck clearly spiked ivermectin because it was now out of patent and they couldn’t gain financially from it any longer.
Well, it was all going beautifully until Hitler turned up.
Bat eared mong seen on tv.
Hes saying the CHOs are making the vaccines compulsory where people are a “severe risk” of infecting others.
Given the disease can be carried by vaccinated as well as unvaccinated is the CHO mentally challenged or is the mong lying?

Most Australians do not want to live by divide and rule
Are you sure about that?
Have you seen the narcissist couples on Facebook with with their portraits framed by a double jabbed logo or (hold your breakfast down) in love hearts?
The first deadly sin is pride and the first virtue is humility.
TaliDan has many disciples out there.
It is scandalous that everyone who got vaccinated was never tested as a matter of course for COVID or COVID antibodies let alone antibodies for similar pathogens that confer natural immunity, let alone trying to identify natural immunity.
A chance for a great natural experiment ruined by politics.
Rabz, last night:
Dunno if we ever grew up in one of those. We might think we did, being a bit younger and potentially more naive, but once people got into adulthood I think the realisation set in that there always has been, is, and always will be a ruling class in some form or another.

It was being restored when I saw it in the 90’s. It was rather faded. I was a little surprised it was in an unassuming church as I recall. And not really in the salubrious part of Milan. But beautiful non-the less. They keep the lighting down (then) so I found it best viewed around dusk.
You should see all of the special interests.
NSW – commercial fishing, towing & even cleaning drains.
Victoria – working taxi families.
Of course lawyers are the worst, they’ve ruled the west since Henry VIII went mad with syphlis. The sad fact is, the legal fraternity is the unofficial “new” aristocracy since the musket made all but the best plate armour obsolete.

I subscribe to both the Spectator and the Quadrant. Worthwhile in both cases.
Imagine getting sexually aroused or feeling true romantic love for your special person having a course of Cephalexin or Heplisav-B.
Wow, just wow!
“For Valentine’s Day, give your special someone a pint of Interferon-B or a bed pan….”
Loopy stuff!
The Last Supper is very faded.
The building lost it’s roof during WW2 I think and it wasn’t replaced for a while.
Also the church was used as a refectory for a while and someone cut a servery hatch through Jesus’ feet.
That’s because this has never been about medicine or we would have heard about all sorts of experiments and studies, there would be discussions galore. That we are not even allowed to speak of such things means it’s about power and oppression. The more they insist we must not ask questions the more suspicion it raises.
This leads into my next question.
Tumbril ticket numbers. Should health bureaucrats be placed ahead of Vik and NSW plod?
Should we have different tickets for Vik and NSW plod?
