One thing which has been raised several times lately is suppression of the natural immune system, specifically T cells, leaving people vulnerable to other illnesses such as cancer. This is one of the points raised by Dr. Ryan Cole. Then, of course, there’s the issue that the vaccine defends only against one particular strain rather than the whole corona virus family even though there’s only about 20% difference between them and would normally be recognised by your body. In fact, just yesterday, the Pfizer scientists unknowingly recorded by Project Veritas were saying that natural immunity is much better. And that’s not even raising the most immediate risk which is blood clots and heart problems.

Not at all. The baker wasn’t refusing to deal with the customer. The business was just saying “we don’t supply that product, but you’re welcome to buy anything we do supply”. If there were evidence the baker had supplied pro-gay “marriage” cakes to other people, then they would be discriminating against the customers in question by refusing them. But there wasn’t.
It’s the same as trying to hire a concert pianist and demanding he play Barry Manilow songs. He’s entitled to say “I don’t do that”, even though he could.

Neilson
Of course it’s a trivial argument. In fact it’s stupid.
Stix
The cake baking vs vaccine passport thing is so dumb.
Last week you suggested the argument didn’t work because it only worked two decades ago when you said corporate libertarianism was going strong. Now, you just calling it dumb. So far no real argument because you can’t make one.
1. You defend the right of the cake maker to refuse service.
2. You’d oppose the same cake maker his right from refusing employment to someone.. (even a gay person)?
This is some cognitive dissonance going here and Neilson’s an idiot.
Neilson, I don’t really know what more is there to say. I made the comment about the baker vs the employer and you came back with an inane comment that the argument with the baker wasn’t about baking the cake itself, but the icing on the cake re decorations.
Neilson, splitting this hair is so diabolically stupid there is no logical way to return a volley. Often, stupid shit is just stupid shit and there’s nothing else that can be said.

I just got a summons for jury service.
What are the odds?
Had a five-week jury stint early-mid last year and my name comes out again.
For reasons I won’t go into here it was a shit of a time and the judge suggested at the end that jurors should be given a permanent exemption from jury service in future.
Trouble is, I didn’t get a letter to that effect and the reporting of the case was suppressed and I think still is.
Can I tell them that I was a juror in R v Smith, Jones and Others before Judge Bloggs and I’ve got a free kick?
Then it occurs to me.
What if I say I am one of the Great Unwashed?

Apart from this being better discussed on the other thread, Tim’s point is that there is a difference between asking a black man to bake a cake and asking him to decorate it with the words, Blacks are inferior to white men, on top. That is not trivial.

Hiya OCO!
It actually is trivial in the way Neilson presented the argument. “The cake” in both instances is the whole kit and caboodle that includes the icing and the decorations.
“Baking a cake” means the whole thing in general parlance. No one mentally splits the cake into the baking and the decorating parts except for the people doing the work. No?
I just got a summons for jury service.
Wear a T-shirt that says ” JURY NULLIFICATION” to the selection.
Starting with today’s point, let’s re-roll the tape:
“JCsays:
October 6, 2021 at 7:50 pm
I always explain the reasons why I think the person is making a stupid comment or is a moron. ”
Reviewing the 4 October emails, it’s clear that JC’s been caught out in a naughty little fib. Naughty boy! Spanky bot bot and the naughty corner for you!
Now, if JC wants to proffer an explanation today about his performance on the 4th, that’s fine, but he could at least try to understand what he’s deprecating.
The argument wasn’t about “decoration”, it was about the content of the message that the lesbians were demanding that the baker put on the cake. The baker asserted (and no-one seems to doubt the truth of the assertion) that he had never made cakes with pro-gay “marriage” messages on them, had never offered to do so, and had no intention of ever doing so in the future. That is, he was being asked to do something which had never been and was never going to be part of the business which he carried on.
There’s nothing wrong with arguing that a business should be allowed to turn down customers whether they’re asking for something outside the scope of the business or for something well within its normal course. But the two situations aren’t self-evidently the same. It’s perfectly possible to argue that a business shouldn’t “discriminate” in supplying it’s ordinary stock in trade while agreeing that a business shouldn’t be forced to do something outside its scope.
I wanna watch Vigil and I’m here having to argue with cronkite.
Studies are irrelevant if the product works in practice. This is what really gets my goat. People keep asking for more and more randomised, double bind, whatever studies when all they have to do is see the actual outcome of daily use among millions of people.
Obviously, saving lives is not enough evidence for some, especially if they don’t want to see it.

He says he’s got four kids but he doesn’t say much about “The Thing” at home because the kids have got enough to deal with. (Tick)
He then tells me his eldest girl (14) is watching the TV the other night, jotting stuff down and tapping on the phone.
“What are you doing?” he asks.
“Well Dad”, she says. “I am working out the number of people in hospital out of the number of people who have Covid. It’s only 2.5%”. (BIG TICK).
Neilson, as much as I totally support the baker’s right to choose not to make the cake, the excuse he pulled out of a hat is kind of stupid to. Let me explain why. Every cake, in terms of what goes on top etc is potentially unique. At least lots are very much so. The idea that he’s never done it before is laughable. All he had to do would be to have stuck small figurines of a couple of fat slobs on top and presto the lesbian cake is done. Don’t over-egg this cake.

Calli I didn’t ‘judge’ your family – though, naturally, lining 12 year olds up for the covid19 vaccine is pretty goddamned awful, which is why you told everyone here about it.
But 12 year olds aren’t naturally lining up to get vaccinations because it’s so cool man, their parents and teachers are ordering them to get it then using that bullshit as cover, which I suspect you already know.
Bzzzt.
They’ve seen it all.
Got the generic lecture last time about political/”in contempt” slogans on clothing, badges and bags.
That is the baker’s point. He can refuse to make it because the decorating involves a phrase that he thinks is unconscionable.
your hobbies are stoushing with some poor sap
What’s funny is that it’s JC who winds up giving himself the uppercut.
Face it, he just isn’t that bright or knowledgeable about much. Maths and logic aren’t his strong points.
The buyer isn’t buying a cake and then the decorations. He’s buying the whole thing together The baker obviously knows this and his argument is long winded and specious. All that needs to be said is, I’m not doing this shit as the two dykes weren’t buying just a cake, they were buying the topping as well.
It wouldn’t surprise me in the least if the same processes that Arky’s post on mass formation earlier this week are operating on kids as they are on adults. The constant messaging on tv, social media, and the like would be having a tremendous effect on the young.

That is not a mechanistic explanation. How are T cells suppressed? Apoptosis, Anergy, exhaustion, stem cell elimination, lymph node destruction? T Cells are lousy at attacking cancers. For 50 years they have been experimenting and trialing immune stimulation to attack solid tumours and the response is poor. Natural killer cells are the main cells for killing cancer cells and they don’t do a crash hot job. Many nascent tumours simply die or never progress, one reason being the lack of vasculature to supply nutrients so when we die we can have a number of pinpoint tumours in our body which may have been there for decades. Vaccines stimulate the immune system. Vaccines will induce undifferentiated cells to become specialised for a specific pathogen.
A mechanistic explanation is not just some bland statement about what might happen. It is a detailed description of the specific steps involved in creating the problem. So please point me to where the doctor explains that process.
JC, you can wear all the masks you want. 100 of them if you like. Just don’t try to force them on me. That is the real issue. Give people information and let THEM decide.

They can, they just need to be a little circumspect about it. First off, if a couple of gay dudes role up or a couple of obese dykes, you kind of know which way the wind is blowing.

You keep bumbling around failing to understand what is said. I don’t give a shit if you’re wearing a mask, hoodie or even a hazmat suit or none of these. Watch carefully. I don’t fucking care.
Cousin It (Brucie) said science doesn’t support mask wearing. Science cannot tell you if that’s correct or not. On balance, risk management suggests it may be a good idea to wear a mask at times. At times only… got that.
Don’t often post comments but the last couple of days has seen some interesting personalities on display that has had me thinking about levels of disagreeableness.
I could not think of a nice term for the level above A****hole. I guess in gutter terms it would be a c**t but that word is so distasteful that it is hard to label people like that.
Arky on a bad day could possibly be classed as an a****hole and JC the last couple of days has seemed like a right c**t. Don’t get me wrong, society needs a certain amount of c**ts to get some things done.
So how do you differentiate between and a****hole and a c**t? My guess is that they are both disagreeable but you would willingly associate with one but not the other. You would say of someone, “he might be an a****hole but he is my a****hole” where as you would never hear someone say, “he may be a c**t but he is my c**t”
Having said that, I am sure the gentlemen in my example are lovely people in person and their online personas are just put on for our benefit and entertainment.

Got a great laugh today when I posted this question to a normally logical and thoughtful friend. After I picked my jaw up from the floor.
We were discussing the Jab or No Job mandate and touched on the staff resigning from Dying Kangaroo Airlines, police forces, doctors, miners…and every other affected industry on an on into infinity. So, I asked, where are these organisations going to get replacement staff from once they lose between 10 and 20% of their workforce?
The answer is from the ranks of the unemployed apparently!
*insert dropped jaw clunk here followed by uncontrolled hysteria*
Given we have roughly 4.6% unemployment right now (that’s the official number, clearly does not include the vast numbers of those forbidden to work) and a decent slab of that 4.6% are probably unemployable, that still leaves a significant shortfall. Don’t start me on how many of the 4.6% are fully trained pilots, cabin crew, nurses, etc. etc.
What the hell has happened to our ability to think? It cannot all have been suppressed by panic, surely?
JC’s online persona is a barometer to his fortunes on the markets. When he picks stoushes we all know he’s had a bad day.
But like Arky he is not afraid of pointing out reality when necessary. And this is critical as it initiates the adversarial test by combat … typically to the death .. of the truth of the matter at hand.

Bruce, I have to tell you this. We have found where mum Currawong has made her new nest and it is very close by to her old one, but not in the Jacaranda, where she found she had bad sun exposure (I had to use a pump water spray on the chicks sometimes to stop them burning up), but in the thick of the Pttosporum that grows next to it and into it. We can hear the new chicks now complaining for food, and the perky and very attentive dad (a new and young one, maybe she ditched the old one or he was taken by a crow), is being very demanding about me giving over the food for his woman and those hungry kiddies. He’s so desperate I suspect he’d take the mince from my hand but I’m not game enough to try in case he nips with that raptor’s beak.
To think too that only yesterday Hairy was going to get his long-handled cutting tool and reach outside the windows of the now-enclosed terrace room and fiercely hack away at the Pttosporum because the wind was blowing a sticky residue that it currently drips and depositing it all over our new frameless glass on the balconies, especially disfiguring the chrome strip along the top. Can’t do that now, I say with a restraining hand. No disturbance at all allowed on my lovely bird’s choice of residential location.

The original is on Facebook and I don’t have access because I refuse to join so someone might like to confirm. One of the comments says it was posted by an MP.
Yes, this is posted at facebook by a Stephen Andrew MP for Mirani

They gave Maximum Leader 9 months last time. Maximum Leader will be calculating what’s the best way to finesse the “emergency” up to 24 November 2022 so he can control the whole state by emergency decree right through to the “election”. Maybe ask for a year? Nine months again then three? Two lots of six months? Whatever he asks for, they’re stupid enough to give it to him.
Sorry c*ntstable – the keys for the locks are with my wife. And all the stress of this search has made me forget the safe code …but got that written down in my other safe at my mothers place. Shall we go visit them? Will you follow me Or should I follow you. Can you use sirens please?
Then, I imagine, someone is going to be on the hook for lost earnings that would otherwise have been earned had the unlawful health order not been made and applied.
The govt has to think this through carefully. There will be gazillions of unfair or constructive dismissal claims that it (the govt) will need to be represented in. And it will prob lose and have to pay both the businesses and claimants oats and penalties.
And I reckon it’ll have to pay those sacked the dole. So the businesses are behind the eightball if it comes to a waiting game.

Difficult to get through because of the bullshit recording questions you have to go wade past. Finally got through to the pharmacy . I asked them I had a prescription for Iver and wanted to check it was in stock.
Dude didn’t even flinch and told me to go in and have it filled as it was in stock. No biggie.
This is NYC . bluer than blue.
Cohenite- really? Glory Road?
I’m chipping away into Heinlein, NEL and Penguin covers- I’d steered away from that one because it basically looked like a Piers Anthony. I pride myself on maving mismatched series- my Dune 5-book trilogy drives the OCD mad.
Charging four times as much is enough. Selling people inedible crud at that point is basically stealing. They were, ostensibly, Christian bakers.
So they don’t really want the work because they feel they would be sinful. They’re not going to feel good about themselves if they deceive a customer.
All they can really do is say no or demand upfront payment. They can bake them a cake and give them their money back if they’re not satisfied.

Constructive dismissal?
Thanks, B.J. I vaguely recall someone mentioning that last week or the week before, so it’s good to receive a reminder. I’ll have to do some research.
Am I approved yet or what.
I like just about all of Heinlein. I grew up on his works and he’s a significant part of the reason why I comment on libertarian/free market leaning sites. Heroes work, and am willing to take on the dragons. Got any to kill?
Bravo, I am.

We are opposed to the Biosecurity Amendment (Enhanced Risk Management) Bill 2021, specifically in relation to broadening the scope of the current Biosecurity Act 2015 to include biosecurity enforcement orders upon “classes of individuals”, specifically requiring them to wear specified clothing or equipment (108M), to be relocated and detained (108L), for an indefinite time (108 (2) ) and to provide body samples to the World Health Organization (108P). While we understand that these changes are meant to be imposed upon groups arriving into the country by plane or vessels, it does not expressly exclude the possibility of it also being applied to other “classes” of people such as the unvaccinated, or to certain ethnic, religious or politicosocial groups residing within Australia.

Me vaxxed, she unvaxxed, my Japanese neighbour and I danced together in our dining room to the online one-hour real-time class today, both puffing away. You do this four times weekly? she asked with new respect for 78 year old class leader and 79 year old me. She’s only 61, a keen tennis player, and found it tough enough but full of fun as well. She’s joining me now for two regular classes a week.
Calli, this vaxxed/unvaxxed thing will be history by the end of December. Hang in there.
And P, sorry you have to worry about vaxxing a 12 year old, especially given the heart issues. I have a similar issue with my autistic grandson who is turning 12 in January and whose mum wants him vaxxed. He’ll want to fit in too. I hope a bad reaction doesn’t just add to his existing problems.
When you become a grandma you just increase the worry load. Comes with the territory. All the best to your grandson for his future surgery.

LEGAL ALERT: Davis v Victoria Police Z848/2020. The FOI application to discover documents about the criminal investigation into Brett Sutton re Slug Gate had its 4th hearing last week. Vicpol rely on s.25A of the FOI Act to say they don’t even have to look for the documents..
biosecurity enforcement orders upon “classes of individuals”, specifically requiring them to wear specified clothing or equipment (108M), to be relocated and detained (108L), for an indefinite time (108 (2) ) and to provide body samples to the World Health Organization (108P)
“classes of individuals” – Jews
“wear specified clothing” – striped clothing & yellow star
“relocated & detained” – shipped via cattle cars to concentration camps
“for an indefinite time” – until death
“provide body samples to WHO” – close – lampshades, gold teeth, hair, fat for soap….
To make it all legal….
Can any of you imagine what it is like to try to open up a couple of restaurants in the Sydney CBD which have been closed for several months.
I think not.
It will be done though, it will be done. We are Aussies!
It’s easier with the restaurants that have been endeavouring to be operating as take-aways.
Thank you, dot. Where does one keep abreast of the resistance effort via the Australian judiciary?
ARE YOU SURE ABOUT THAT!?
City Lawyers is one of the best, it is anonymous as far as I can figure out. Hence they have a bit of freedom.

The quantity and intensity of Covid propaganda the ABC is pumping out is truly staggering. Its content is not markedly different from that produced by newsmedia outlets for Outer Party educated sheep found in history’s most depraved totalitarian societies.
I’m hoping when NSW opens up on the 11th that at least the hairdressers will open beforehand so that that those working in hospitality will not be forced to appear in their present state.

It’s the chicks.
They’ve gone slowly insane over the last forty years, and it’s reached a crescendo over this covid malarky.

They really don’t care how stupidly, in your face, their bald faced lies are; the tactic is to simply keep repeating the lies as if they’ve never been proven to be lies and constantly claim victory over those they lie about.
Thank God James O’Keefe has the intelligence & work ethic to not let the lying liars wear him out.
“Starship Troopers” was the all time classic…

The best way is for ALL the pollies to be replaced – and get ones in that still kind of understand the phrase “it is an honour to serve”.
A bit more difficult will be on how to get rid of the lobbyists and hollow men . You can’t vote those out!
And even more difficult is how to replace the bureaucracy? They are the rot that keeps this corruption lubricated!
Difficult Difficult Difficult!
No, of course not. But I’m hopeful. It was always on the cards that the impossiblity of monitoring this nonsense would make it implode in on itself by Decembeer 1. I think that is Perrottet’s view too. I think Calli and any other unvaxxed person should just walk in to wherever and carry on being there. Evictions are not what people want to do, but get cameras ready if they try it. If if comes to family or friends being unwilling to mingle, just laugh at them and mingle anyway. They’ll soon get used to it.
As I said, if you really want to go somewhere and you are a female over 60, borrow my printout vaxx.
If enough people do this it will help invalidate the system too.

Devastating. I can’t pick the arcade though.
I just liked and flagged my own comment. The new Cat is awesome!
Melbourne is the world’s most liable city, remember.
For me the formative Heinlein book was Time Enough For Live. Woody is a role model.
By the way – have you read Haldeman’s Forever War? It was meant to be an anti-jingoistic reply to Starship Troopers – but I reread it recently and it is kind of prophetic.

There’s no getting around the obvious.
He makes a very good point about why the US was hit so badly. Obese, vit D, magnesium and K2 deficient. Possibly zinc and selenium as well. Another issue could be people not seeking treatment early enough because of medical expenses.
He makes some interesting points but I didn’t see a single reference(I skimmed) and there is data which contradicts some of his claims. What he sees in the lab is a poor guide, we really need to see much more than what one man sees in a lab result. He states in COVID infection we see antibodies in different proteins than the spike protein. Last time I checked that wasn’t the case but perhaps it is true. When he talks about the future risks of cancer and autoimmunity he finishes with, “we don’t know”. Not very helpful, no meat on that.
Yes people with morbidities are more at risk from the vax than otherwise. They are also at much higher risk if they develop an infection. They will develop a better immune response but they can also risk some chronic problems that we do know about.
Dr. Cole’s webpage(if I got the right Dr. Cole), doesn’t have any listed publications. That’s a little unusual or it could be just an oversight.
I prefer doctors like Campbell in the UK because he goes through the relevant literature and makes it very accessible for most educated people. He digs into the data rather than relying on his personal observations.
I’m very much over the COVID\vaccine thing. Too much noise from both sides of the argument. I can appreciate why some are very suspicious of the claims by the medical establishment. There is too much politics in this but we shouldn’t abandon standards of evidence because we have feelz that something isn’t right.

My understanding is you would have to call the police because a forceful eviction could constitute assault. Security guards can arrest and detain but only if you have committed a crime. I’ll leave that here for others here who know the law better to correct me.
If only Melbourne… I fear the West is dead.
The economies are rooted and the governments way overextended in debt. All it needs is something that will decimate the populations and help identify and ostracise / cancel the free and nonconformist … oh wait!
All that will be left is the salting of the souls. (I know s/b soils … but in this case the auto correct may have hit on something)

Almost everything by Heinlein before the seventies was good to great; from 1970 onwards, sadly, not so hot.

The controversy surrounding Pope Francis and Cardinal Becciue continues as the trial escalates into the largest Vatican trial of the last several centuries.
Ten defendents are facing accusations of financial embezzlement, money laundering, abuse of office, misappropriation, and fraud.
Dr. Taylor Marshall summarizes the trial and explains why this is potentially the worse thing that could happen to Pope Francis.

Maybe Dan XiMan’s job is to wreck the Victorian economy for his CCP paymasters.
Gladbags was doing a knock-up job on the NSW economy – see what happens in NSW now for an indication on how deep the CCP corruption is.
If the economies of Vic & NSW are destroyed, then chaos will result from the civil strife.
This then would be the trigger to bring in the UN Peace-Keepers (CCP troops) under that new Federal legislation.
Between the UN (CCP) and the “vaccinations”, the population of Australia will be reduced considerably.
The USA won’t intervene thanks to the Demonrats and Uncle Joe Biden – they’ll be wracked by their own civil strife at the right moment.
Australia (the mines & farms) will become a CCP Province, populated by the Han Chinese.

Same reason they denied the defences request for a tour of the crime scene. Last thing they want is people seeing just how foul the parallel society in the area has become.

Great tactic. Single out individual cops like that and target them with mockery.
Thanks DOT. Citizen’s arrest. Rat cunning idea. A coordinated entry into multiple venues known to refuse entry all the same district. Easily overwhelm police resources. Probably also result in maximum fines.
