Google the first sentence and all sorts of things come up…but not this article.

They’re getting worse. I use gmail for its reliability but I won’t be doing so in a few months.

Use Gmail? Google is changing the way you log in and not everyone will like it (9 Oct)

Google has announced a huge shake-up for Gmail users – and it will change how you login to your inbox. Yes, the Californian company has confirmed plans to roll-out two-step verification (2SV) to all 150 million Google accounts.

I use an email client to get all my emails from the different servers and it is going to stop working for Gmail. Gmail already refuses VPNs I’ve found. I have not given Goolag my phone number and I do not wish to do that ever. But without a phone you’re about to be locked out of Gmail and possibly YouTube also. (YT login will be SMS verified also, but whether that extends to unlogged in viewing I don’t know.)

They everything possible about you stored safely in their nice database. And if you don’t kowtow to their lies you are made an unperson.

Google demonetizes climate skeptics and bans “denier” ads because skeptics win over too many people (9 Oct)

Fury intensifying in bull dyke lezzo socka circles (the Hun):

A former teammate of Lisa De Vanna has doubled down on the sensational claims of the Matildas legend and urged the football community to not confuse gender politics with the real issue – protecting junior players.

Luisa Bishop-Marzotto, a teammate of De Vanna’s in the 2001 Young Matildas, said fear had driven teammates to remain silent about a toxic culture that had allowed bullying, grooming and sexual harassment.

But worryingly, Bishop-Marzotto said some of the football community were trying to turn the conversation into a political debate of sexuality when the real issue was providing a safe environment for players.

‘Some of the football community’ want to retain their exclusive benefits, ie the never-ending Lazy Susan of fresh meat twirling before them to chew on with impunity.

“I witnessed what Lisa went through … everything Lisa said was true. She was absolutely targeted when she was teenager because she was an easy target because of her reaction,” Bishop-Marzotto said.

And this:

“I was also an outsider and also made to feel uncomfortable. I was made to feel uncomfortable in the changeroom, I would always wear my shorts and sports bra in the shower or shower back in my room because of the bullying I received, I was that uncomfortable.”

Fucking unbelievable. You are part of the national squad. Playing for your country – and you’re compelled to wear shorts and a bra in the shower because of these predatory, hideous wildebeest.

Said it the other day. All organised, competitive adult women’s sport in this country should be burnt to the ground.

Further, the moles responsible for this ongoing predation – along with the governing bodies’ officials that condoned it – should be dragged out in public and beaten with axe handles fashioned in the shape of giant penises.

Calli

You said you initially decided not to have it based on ethical grounds but now have gone ahead due to other important pressures (marriage, family).

I wholeheartedly believe it should be your choice whether to jab or not, so my question is sincere in understanding your decision process (as it may help me): what about your initial comment re ethical grounds? How did your current situation change those beliefs? (Seriously not having a go at you as I do respect your thoughts/opinions).

Yours is smaller than an axe handle?
Is that normal?

Shit. That was a typo.

I meant to say axe handles shaped in the shape of micropenises.

A 19 year old cannot be groomed.

If done by these frightful ugly beasts in packs, who have the full backing of their governing body to do so, and with the carrot of playing for their country (or not) dangled in front of them, sure they can.

Grooming does not equal consent.

De Vanna was dragged to the floor and dry humped in front of the muncher crew. She swung her way off the deck and challenged the lot to a punch on.

Because De Vanna did it doesn’t mean everyone did.

I’d wager it’s through other organisations as well KD. A mate’s ex who was army pretty well much laid out how the lesbians picked out and went after young women once to me. Sounded very predatory.

Fucking unbelievable. You are part of the national squad. Playing for your country – and you’re compelled to wear shorts and a bra in the shower because of these predatory, hideous wildebeest.

That sounds about right when in a predatory environment. In a public Japanese women-only onsen bath I was at first a little shy but soon became extremely comfortable stark naked in the company of Japanese women of all ages and body types, from grannies to pre-teens. But it would have been a different story if any of them had been sexually leering at me. Lesbians know how to behave in all-female change rooms just as other women do, there is considerable modesty and plenty of discretion, and some woman in authority should be reading the riot act to them about the need for this in women’s sports environments too.

Thanks, Calli. Appreciate your reply.

Yes, I have recently heard about other products that have used fetal cell lines in testing and I now avoid those products if I am aware of them. It’s a long list for sure.

What a world we live in when animals are not to be used to test cosmetics but fetal cell lines derived from aborted babies sees no campaign from the usual ”activists” against cruelty to animals.

Again, Calli, thank you for your reply, it has helped me.

Makka,
Are you really a provax anti smoking zealot?
Because you sure sound like one.
Don’t tell me to do stuff, like a jackbooted fascist. Not a good look.
You really should stop insulting people on the net, you savage and fearless keyboard warrior.
Nothing personal. I couldn’t give a stuff about you. It’s the nasty stench of totalitarian you’ve dragged in here. Detestable.

That would be Nanna Wrigglers, Arky.

Hopefully they work off some of the CovidKilos. Nothing else seems to shift them.

What was that press conference Gillard (??) had some years ago? “The blackest day in Australian sport”? Would Scummo be game to repeat it, using Gillard’s words?

It all disappeared real quick, eh?

There is an internal post-mortem underway, Arky. To be followed by the inquisition and resulting meting out of punishments.

I suspect the big sign identifying Setka as “Andrew’s Bitch” was over target and none too welcome.

‘Third World’ NYC drug store shelves empty amid shoplifting surge
Thanks to a citywide shoplifting tsunami, bare necessities are now rare luxuries on drug-store shelves across New York City.
“Insanity,” the police commissioner tweeted last week in response to The Post report. “No other way to describe the resulting crime that has flowed from disastrous bail reform law.”

Unsurprisingly, it would appear the Auslan chicks on the noos are getting fatter.

It’s become a spin-off industry in its own right. Doubtless Andrews will be getting a sling from the Auslan Fat Chick Jazz Hands Union (AFCJHU).

Hang on – wait. There’s a skinny one now. Doubtless she’ll be being groomed in the changerooms with cheesecakes.

Report, 100 to 200 Congressional Reps and Staff Were Treated with Ivermectin Protocol From Front Line COVID Critical Care Doctors

Cynthia Plaster Caster?
Wikipedia, for once, an invaluable resource.

From the Oz. Evidence from pre-epidemic database that Cov-Sars-2 is laboratory-bred.

Where did Covid-19 come from? The answer can be found in the SARS-CoV-2 virus itself. To get to the truth, we need only unleash the power of science.

Based on experience with SARS-1 in 2003 and MERS in 2012, we know that many people are infected by a host animal long before a coronavirus mutates to the point where it can jump from human to human.

An extensive data set from late 2019 — more than 9000 hospital samples — is available of people exhibiting flulike (thus Covid-like) symptoms in China’s Hubei and Shaanxi provinces before the epidemic started. Based on SARS-1 and MERS, the natural zoonotic theory predicts 100 to 400 Covid infections would be found in those samples.

The lab-leak hypothesis, of course, predicts zero. If the novel coronavirus were engineered by scientists pursuing gain-of-function research, there would be no instances of community infection until it escaped from the laboratory. The World Health Organisation investigation analysed those stored samples and found zero pre-pandemic infections. This is powerful evidence favouring the lab-leak theory.

Shut up, they explained.

Mexican science board tells researchers: don’t criticize (9 Oct)

Mexico’s newly politicized government science board has reportedly ordered researchers not to publicly criticize the body, and said they have to clear any public comments through its press office.

The council was already under fire after it helped prosecutors try to lock up 31 academics in a maximum security prison usually reserved for drug lords.
…
Part of the problem is that the current director of the government science board, María Álvarez-Buylla, appears to be trying to inject the politics of López Obrador’s administration—which he calls “the fourth transformation”—into science.

In a letter reportedly accompanying the new rules, Álvarez-Buylla told council members and researchers that employees “should not only be outstanding professionals, but also should have a commitment to society, the environment, human rights, and above all the public ethics promoted by the Fourth Transformation.”
…
It doesn’t help that Mexico’s attorney general, Alejandro Gertz Manero, decided to bring the most serious possible charges—money laundering, organized crime and embezzlement—against people who had no criminal records and are respected in their professions, and sought to put them in the country’s most-feared prison, which is normally used to house drug lords.

Far-lefties really hate people who tell it like it is. Gulag archipelago Mexican-style.

And more from this article:

Within months of the SARS-1 and MERS outbreaks, scientists found animals that had hosted the viruses before they made the jump to humans. More than 80 per cent of the animals in affected markets were infected with a coronavirus. In an influential March 2020 paper in Nature Medicine, Kristian Andersen and co-authors implied that a host animal for SARS-CoV-2 would soon be found. If the virus had been cooked up in a lab, of course, there would be no host animal to find.

The WHO team searched for a host in early 2020, testing more than 80,000 animals from 209 species, including wild, domesticated and market animals. Not a single animal infected with SARS-CoV-2 was found. This finding strongly favours the lab-leak theory. We can only wonder if the results would have been different if the animals tested had included the humanised mice kept at the Wuhan Institute of Virology.

A coronavirus adapts for its host animal. It takes time to perfect itself for infecting humans. But a pathogen engineered via accelerated evolution in a laboratory using humanised mice would need no additional time after escape to optimise for human infection. In their Nature Medicine paper, Andersen and colleagues pointed to what they considered the poor design of SARS-CoV-2 as evidence of zoonotic origin. But a team of American scientists mutated the stem of the coronavirus genome in nearly 4000 different ways and tested each variation. In the process they actually stumbled on the Delta variant. In the end, they determined that the original SARS-CoV-2 pathogen was 99.5 per cent optimised for human infection — strong confirmation of the lab-leak hypothesis.

All good reasons for some very firm controls to be placed on gain-of-function research which has kept an international cabal of academic back-scratchers in publications and funding for no good purpose for too long. Send them to the coal mines, I say.

On Queensland sustainable panic.

A friend has just left hospital after a three-day, $10,000 medical episode.

She rocked up to her GP complaining of a persistent cough and severe shortness of breath. Lower than normal oxygen, she was sent off for Covid test – and thence to hospital.

Although PCR negative, she then spent three nights in a plastic bubble-bed, attended by nurses in spacesuits. And was kicked out on Saturday morning with Diagnosis Asthma, possibly pollen related.

This, too, cannot continue.

It seems to me that the reform that needs to occur in the US voting system will take some time to complete. However I’m pretty sure that there is enough momentum to get it done and it should be largely complete come the mid-term elections.
Surely the only reason Trump is having rallies is to continue building the case against the fraud (he’s spoken about that the most at this rally) and then a massive win in the midterms.
I’d wouldn’t be surprised one bit if the Donald was the next Speaker and then we’d see some really great impeachment’s.

The discoveries of Fauci and the NIH regarding covid research off-shoring to my mind clearly point to human creation of the covid variants we have been dealing with. How it “leaked” may be up for conjecture but it has the CCP’s human fingerprints all over this virus. The very same mob who have threatened to target their nukes at us.

The ability of SARS-CoV but not SARS-CoV-2 to replicate in R. sinicus kidney cells, consistent with previous findings (12), may suggest a different evolutionary origin and path of SARS-CoV-2. SARS-CoV was most closely related to SARSr-Rs-BatCoVs from Yunnan, China, suggesting R. sinicus as its primary origin. It could also use Rs-ACE2 as receptor for cell entry (13), which may explain the efficient replication of SARS-CoV in R. sinicus kidney cells. Although SARS-CoV-2 is closely related to SARSr-CoVs in bats and pangolins, none of the existing animal viruses represents the immediate ancestor of SARS-CoV-2. SARS-CoV-2 was most closely related to SARSr-Ra-BatCoV-RaTG13 (96.1% genome identity) in Rhinolophus affinis from Pu’er, Yunnan (2), except that its RBD region was closest to pangolin-SARSr-CoV-MP789 (86.9% nucleotide identity) in smuggled pangolins from Guangdong, suggesting that SARS-CoV-2 may have evolved through recombination (3). The inability of SARS-CoV-2 to efficiently infect and replicate in R. sinicus cells may imply that R. sinicus bats were unlikely to be its proximal origin. However, bats are the primary origin of SARS-CoV, human coronavirus 229E (HCoV-229E), and probably MERS-CoV; therefore, SARS-CoV-2 most likely originated from bats. One possibility is that SARS-CoV-2 has restricted bat species tropism. Other bat species, such as R. affinis, may harbor the ancestor of SARS-CoV-2 and can be tested for cellular susceptibilities in future studies. It is also possible that SARS-CoV-2 can no longer replicate in bat cells because of substantial genetic adaptation, such as through natural evolution in an intermediate host before infecting humans.

or through gain of function procedures

It is also possible that SARS-CoV-2 can no longer replicate in bat cells because of substantial genetic adaptation, such as through natural evolution in an intermediate host before infecting humans.

SARS-CoV-2 can no longer replicate in bat cells but is precisely “adapted” to infect human ACE2 cells. Gosh I wonder how that happened…

Grooming involves “befriending” someone who is in a position of much lesser power

That’s why “mentoring” has to be highly structured, completely transparent and accountable. It can sometimes devolve into an unhealthy co-dependency ripe for abuse. A lot of this sort of stuff is not on busy parents’ radars.

Makka,

You started personal abuse.

This, from a Chinese man who had suffered through the Cultural Revolution in China and thought he’d escaped to freedom in America.

On September 10, freshman Olivia Cook attended Sheng’s composition seminar. The course that year was going to analyze the works of William Shakespeare, and Sheng’s first class featured the 1965 film “Othello,” which featured actor Laurence Olivier wearing blackface. Sheng told the Daily that he showed the film to highlight how opera composer Giuseppe Verdi had adapted the play. Sheng told the outlet that cross-casting happens regularly in opera and didn’t see Olivier’s performance “the same as the minstrel performances which did degrade African Americans.”

“I thought [that] in most cases, the casting principle was based on the music quality of the singers,” Sheng wrote to the paper. “Of course, time [sic] has changed, and I made a mistake in showing this film. It was insensitive of me, and I am very sorry.”

Perhaps these disgusting students should make him wear a sign around his neck too.
The trouble with their ilk is that they are completely ignorant of history.

Since you keep addressing me in like manner I’m outta here. Too much risk.

I have a son named John, you know, who could also be called ‘bong John’. There are many of them.
There is not really much risk of doxxing when you have a well known Christian name. And your surname initial letter could be completely made up. So could the ‘John’ for that matter.

If you enjoy a toke, that’s your business of course, and you did mention it.
If you wish it to be no longer raised then I am sure people here will oblige.
We all find your scientific commentary valuable, so please don’t go away.

Zippy’s quote above came from this article in American Thinker George Orwell Was Right.

The interesting thing is that one aspect is demonstrably true – Google the first sentence and all sorts of things come up…but not this article.

Remember when anyone mentioning this fact of what the internet does, got mockingly smeared by cats as, ‘crazy conspiracy nuts, who dodn’t know how the internet works.’

I do.

That smear got used to tack other bullshitting smears onto, and invite actual conspiracy nuts to try to tack, “12 foot shape shifting lizard” Ickeian type bullshittery onto those who warned how the internet & social media were selling global false narratives and … here we are …

Perhaps if every such order had to be submitted to parliament and voted on by that body and then sent to the senate for those states that have a senate and voted on and once passed by both bodies, sent to the governor of the state and promulgated as a short term law. Then it maybe ok. Otherwise you would just replace one fascist with another.

I disagree. You spoke eloquently and even answered my question with grace. I, for one, am very glad you spoke up.

In Unintended Comedy news:

Deputy Prime Minister Barnaby Joyce says the government is not joking over plans to regulate social media

“The motivation is now there at the federal level in Australia, at the highest level in the United States, in other corners of the globe, to say: ‘we’ve had enough, you can’t treat us like fools. You think we’re joking, we’re not’,” Mr Joyce told the ABC’s PM program.

“This time, something’s going to happen,”

Mr Joyce said legislation to curtail the power of social media giants would be put on the table “soon.”

“It’s rare when a prime minister and a deputy prime minister in basically an unscripted way both have the same messages on virtually the same day and so the impetus is there,” he said.

Somehow I doubt that a regulatory initiative by the Beetrooter and his stupid mate is going to improve free speech in Australia, far less other “corners of the globe”.
