Beef farmers will be forced to slash production before 2030 to meet climate targets even as demand increases, sending prices soaring

Years ago a CSIRO lady professor was telling us unwashed farmers at a conference that rising sea levels were an imminent danger unless we cut our CO2 production.
Naughty me suggested that if we go down that path we’ll starve long before we drown.
She was very cross and huffed off.

I know someone in vic who is in isolation because of his kids in daycare.

He was lamenting being locked at home with them. He works from home, and is a covid karen. So what he was whinging about is that while he’s comfy at home with his fat mrs who is also at home ‘working’, is they can’t boot their toddlers out the door to go to the local masked-prole staffed disease incubation centre during the Global Pandemic(tm).

Two and four years old, a real trial for him he lamented to the team who showed sympathy for that dreadful plight.

It’s not an exaggeration to say that much of the professional class loathe children, culturally. The old Victorian era upper middle class was the same. Palmed them off to nannies and au-pairs and school as fast as they could, just a real callous disregard for them which naturally begat the industrial child labor atrocities.

So don’t expect to see any push back against the vaccine lunatics chasing little kids around with highly experimental DNA / mRNA concoctions for no benefit to them.

All the rest are ghastly mistakes.

George Lazenby’s decision to turn down a 7-film contract was the biggest Bond mistake ever.
Lazenby did a good job as Bond and was probably the only Bond actor who could carry off the film’s sombre ending.

I’m coming around to the inescapable conclusion that the new No Time to Die will be my last Bond film. Just repeats from now on.

And what do you estimate the percentage of vaxxed to be?

About 50%
Most lefties …not all by a long shot, and that might give you 35% vaxxed and add to that the Karens on the right, I would guess at about 50%.
Immigration of low IQ millions from third world shit holes might take it to 60%.

So, just a guess then?

For us this is the line in the sand. If they force it on our kids (6yo to 15yo), we are thinking of getting out of here. The problem is I’m not sure where to, since the whole world looks crazy at the moment. And it’s not that easy either when you don’t have much financial resources.

2. Kids aren’t getting really sick from it, they’re not really dying from it and they aren’t suffering ‘Long Covid’.
3. If vaccinated individuals still get and give the virus, why stab them in a vain attempt to stop it happening?

TV show review..

Watched 2 episodes so you dont have to.

Lovecraft Country is basically a racist pile of shit.
2 episodes and everyone bad is white, the negroes are all so peachy keen and wonderful and no mention of anything can be done without an obligatory “whites are evil reference”.

The pacing is just shit, I thought the DVD had skipped a few times as things just happened because they could.
Lots of foreboding, done about as convincing as a pantomime villain with kids yelling “hes behind you” at the hero.

It got the obligatory good rating (please dont cancel me) for being so “brave” but wasnt renewed for a second season.
When your business model revolves around insulting about 80% of your audience based on skin colour every episode, you might be a racist piece of shit.

Australia is funny, the terror at the thought of kids not being in school means they won’t mandate it to go to school I don’t think.

But what they’re gearing up to do – is sneak into the schools and ‘jab’ kids half on the sly before anyone can put up resistance or organise to pull their kids out.

The best thing to do, if you are worried about stuff happening at school in your absence, is to not return them until next year.

Things may have changed by then. There are all sorts of reasons you can put ip for their absence – they’ve lost so much classroom time a couple more weeks won’t hurt them.

Jeremy Paxman’s new book, on the history of coal mining in Britain makes the point that, at a time when the British Empire was sending ships around the world to redeem natives from sin, and to suppress slavery, Britain’s own people, including children as young as four and five years old, were being used as “beasts of burden” in the coal mines.

Given the average age of the deceased I think its fairly safe to assume, in light of deliberate non-reporting by either government or media, that they had received vaxes.

Yes. Somewhere between fairly safe and very safe, one would think.

The victims were apparently mostly over 70, the youngest 40. In Victoria 90%+ of the population over 40 is reported as double vaxxed, with 94% of the over 70’s.

So, statistically, you would expect most victims to be vaxxed – and 100% vaxxed wouldn’t be a surprise outcome in a small sample.

Silence on the matter is most likely due to The Science.

Judge blocks Baltimore from banning Catholic group’s rally
AP NEWS – Yesterday

FILE – Fr. Paul Kalchik, left, St. Michael’s Media founder and CEO Michael Voris, center, and Milo Yiannopoulos talk with a court officer before entering the federal courthouse, Sept. 30, 2021 in Baltimore. A federal judge has blocked Baltimore city officials from banning the conservative Roman Catholic media outlet from holding a prayer rally at a city-owned pavilion during a U.S. bishops’ meeting next month. U.S. District Judge Ellen Hollander ruled late Tuesday, Oct. 13, 2021 that St. Michael’s Media is likely to succeed on its claims that the city discriminated against it on the basis of its political views and violated its First Amendment free speech rights.

Goes alongside “I put the kids in daycare so they learn to socialise”.

Myess, that’s why they’re imprisoned there eight hours a day five days a week since they were one.

True enough, but only for nine years.

Slavery was abolished in the British Empire in 1833.

The Mines and Collieries Bill, which prohibited women and girls and boys under 10 from working underground, was passed in 1842 after a Royal Commission alerted parliamentarians to the poor conditions they laboured under.

As with the slavery issue, evangelical members of the C of E took the lead in addressing the matter and pushing it through parliament in the face of vested interests.

What years were these, Zulu? Wilberforce was agitating for change in the late 1700’s and Shaftesbury in the mid 1800’s.

Sometime in between, the great missionary movement began. It looks as if all these reforms and the desire to bring the Gospel to other lands fed upon each other. The industrial revolution, with all its abuses, enabled the establishment of a large middle class and a renewed sense of responsibility.

Work houses were a feature of English society until well into the 20th century.

Thanks for bringing up the topic. Makes a change from the Great EnJabbening.

One was doing practice autos on to RWY 06 at Toowoomba one day as the new owner was doing his factory familiarisation. Didn’t recover soon enough so rolled itself into a ball.

A girl named Mary Richards, who was thought remarkably pretty when she left the workhouse, and, who was not quite ten years of age, attended a drawing frame, below which, and about a foot from the floor, was a horizontal shaft, by which the frames above were turned. It happened one evening, when her apron was caught by the shaft. In an instant the poor girl was drawn by an irresistible force and dashed on the floor. She uttered the most heart-rending shrieks! The factory overseer ran towards her, an agonized and helpless beholder of a scene of horror. He saw her whirled round and round with the shaft – he heard the bones of her arms, legs, thighs, etc. successively snap asunder, crushed, seemingly, to atoms, as the machinery whirled her round, and drew tighter and tighter her body within the works, her blood was scattered over the frame and streamed upon the floor, her head appeared dashed to pieces – at last, her mangled body was jammed in so fast, between the shafts and the floor, that the water being low and the wheels off the gear, it stopped the main shaft. When she was extricated, every bone was found broken – her head dreadfully crushed. She was carried off quite lifeless.

Charming society the wealthy beneficiaries of the top-down, forced, industrial revolution created.

What is the society of this top-down, forced, technological revolution going to create? Children won’t be sacrificed to machinery and industry – the gods of 1800, naturally. Instead look to what the gods and idols of the current revolution are: science, ‘healthcare’ and technology.

We’re starting to find out what the establishment class imagine their new society to look like right now. But whatever the age, post revolution, children are always shuttered away and violently mistreated by the first generation in the post revolution world.

I started down the pit in the 1970’s, shortly after turning 16. There were a few trade apprentices who would only just have turned 15.

Dying shortly after retirement was sadly very common – for some reason particularly for Deputies and Overmen. Retirements were usually somber affairs.

Wasn’t there a change some years ago to low sulphur diesel that likewise has poor lubricity?

Yes, in conventional diesel the sulphur content provides the necessary lubricity, in ULSD it is achieved with an additive package.

No free lunch!

Fuel / Lubricant/ Engine interactions can be incredibly complex. Particularly as the starting point for most combinations was “because it works”. eg. Volatiles in Jet A1 are necessary for high altitude engine re-light, but this property is not directly tested, it just all works provided you take crude and run it through normal processes. Synthetic Jet into conventional Jet is limited to 50% because the synthetic processes don’t produce many, if any, volatiles.

CEO gave a gentle rebuff about everyone going back to the office on Dec 1. But tellingly didn’t pull the Karen up on the rank bigotry and definite breach of the ‘workplace behaviour’ policies that everyone just endured 1.5 hours on which makes clear that any sort of judgmental attitude to anyone about anything at work or at home was a hanging offense.

Bruce of Newk, did the climate models fail to predict global stilling or did the wind generation spivs ignore the science?

The models predict nothing. Climate science is astrology rebadged. A while back there was a discussion about the warming of the oceans. The alarmists said is was due to CO2 infrared radiation warming them. Someone pointed out that IR CANNOT penetrate the ocean skin. So the alarmists then decided that increasing wind speeds were happening which disrupted the ocean skin allowing IR to enter the ocean and do its warming magic. But then new papers came out showing winds were not increasing but declining, stilling, so the mechanism of wind speeds could not do what the alarmists said it was doing:

I’ve noticed that too. Roskam has been on Sky a lot lately bemoaning the Scumbag Morrison government and its refusal to speak up about free speech, religious liberty etc. Funny though, I remember early last year when Roskam and the IPA refused to speak up* and support Bettina Arndt when she was lynched by frenzied far-left progressive mobs and was the subject of a senate censure, supported by every fucking Liberal and National senator. Bettina received more help from the UK’s Free Speech Union (run by Toby Young) than the IPA. So Roskam and the IPA can be quite selective about free speech.

FILE – Fr. Paul Kalchik, left, St. Michael’s Media founder and CEO Michael Voris, center, and Milo Yiannopoulos talk with a court officer before entering the federal courthouse, Sept. 30, 2021 in Baltimore.

A federal judge has blocked Baltimore city officials from banning the conservative Roman Catholic media outlet from holding a prayer rally at a city-owned pavilion during a U.S. bishops’ meeting next month.

U.S. District Judge Ellen Hollander ruled late Tuesday, Oct. 13, 2021 that St. Michael’s Media is likely to succeed on its claims that the city discriminated against it on the basis of its political views and violated its First Amendment free speech rights. (AP Photo/Gail Burton, file)

Besides if he is sincere in his Catholicism then the task of reconciling his inclinations with his faith is up to him and God. If at the same time he is encouraging Christian teaching and defending the Church then we might consider there is a place for him.

But perhaps that is just my secular self trying to apply secular notions onto religious matters, and I prefer to avoid that sort of thing.

And there has always been counters to it.

Eugenics and Other Evils:
An Argument Against the Scientifically Organized State

by G.K. Chesterton, Michael W. Perry (Editor)
In the second decade of the twentieth century, an idea became all too fashionable among those who feel it is their right to set social trends.
Wealthy families took it on as a pet cause, generously bankrolling its research.
The New York Times praised it as a wonderful “new science.”
Scientists, such as the brilliant plant biologist, Luther Burbank, praised it unashamedly.
Educators as prominent as Charles Elliot, President of Harvard University, promoted it as a solution to social ills. America’s public schools did their part. In the 1920s, almost three-fourths of high school social science textbooks taught its principles.

Not to be outdone, judges and physicians called for those principles to be enshrined into law.
Congress agree, passing the 1924 immigration law to exclude from American shores the people of Eastern and Southern Europe that the idea branded as inferior.

In 1927, the U. S. Supreme Court joined the chorus, ruling by a lopsided vote of 8 to 1 that the sterilization of unwilling men and women was constitutional.

That idea was eugenics and in the English-speaking world it had virtually no critics among the “chattering classes.”

When he wrote this book, Chesterton stood virtually alone against the intellectual world of his day. Yet to his eternal credit, he showed no sign of being intimidated by the prestige of his foes.
On the contrary, he thunders against eugenics, ranking it one of the great evils of modern society. And, in perhaps one of the most chillingly accurate prophecies of the century, he warns that the ideas that eugenics had unleashed were likely to bear bitter fruit in another nation.
That nation was Germany, the “very land of scientific culture from which the ideal of a Superman had come.”

In fact, the very group that Nazism tried to exterminate, Eastern European Jews, and the group it targeted for later extermination, the Slavs, were two of those whose biological unfitness eugenists sought so eagerly to confirm.

Most Eugenists are Euphemists. I mean merely that short words startle them, while long words soothe them. And they are utterly incapable of translating the one into the other, however obviously they mean the same thing.
Say to them “The persuasive and even coercive powers of the citizen should enable him to make sure that the burden of longevity in the previous generation does not become disproportionate and intolerable, especially to the females”; say this to them and they will sway slightly to and fro like babies sent to sleep in cradles.
Say to them “Murder your mother,” and they sit up quite suddenly.
Yet the two sentences, in cold logic, are exactly the same.”

NT boasts of strictest vaccine mandate in the country:

Chief Minister Michael Gunner has announced that nearly all Territorians will need to get vaccinated by November 12, or possibly lose their jobs and be fined $5000 as of November 13, under the strictest vaccine mandate rules in the country.

The new health direction will require employers to request proof of vaccination and also requires employers to keep a register of all staff member’s vaccinations.

Mr Gunner said there would be “circumstances where people won’t need to get vaccinated” but that “most people know we are a very small jurisdiction, most people in the Northern Territory are one degree away from a vulnerable person.”

A full list of occupations – both private and public – was not released by the government until now:

Workers who are likely to come into contact with a vulnerable person:
Workers who work with children, such as teachers, child care workers, tutors, gym coaches and swimming instructors
Workers who work with disabled persons, elderly persons or other persons vulnerable to infection with COVID-19, such as legal service providers, disability care workers and personal carers
Workers who directly face customers or patients in health care and ancillary health care services
Workers who work in a community consisting of mostly Aboriginal people (including family outstations and town camps)
Workers who provide community services
Workers who directly face customers in retail services, financial or hospitality industries and other service industries.
People who work in the construction industry who could come into contact with vulnerable people.
Workers who are at risk of infection with COVID-19 because they, during the course of work, are likely to come into contact with a person or thing that poses a risk of infection:
Health care workers in hospitals and emergency departments
Police and emergency service workers
Workers in quarantine facilities or other quarantine places
Border control workers;
Workers at other places to which symptomatic people may go, such as medical clinics, respiratory clinics and pharmacies.
Workplaces that pose a high risk of infection with COVID-19, including the following:
Correction and detention facilities
Shelters for persons experiencing homelessness or other forms of adversity
Mining sites
Food processing and distribution facilities
Cold storage facilities and abattoirs
Cruise vessels as defined in direction 5 of the COVID-19 Directions (No. 5) 2021.
Workers who perform work that is necessary for the operation or maintenance of essential infrastructure or essential logistics in the Territory, including:
Electricity generation facilities, electricity networks and electrical installations
Liquid natural gas and other gas facilities
Water supply and distribution infrastructure
Sewerage treatment facilities
Telecommunications systems
Roads
COVID-19 emergency operations centre.

An interesting question.

Similar to how schools probably won’t risk kicking off an exodus into home and correspondence schooling by mandating ‘jabs’, I get the feeling the Commonwealth doesn’t really want to risk losing a case on mandatory vaccinations as it will risk collapsing the entire ‘no jab no play’ dickhead system it has carefuly setup over the last 15 years.

Education unions are concerned the NT government’s COVID-19 vaccine mandate will lead to worker shortages in schools, after a survey revealed about one-sixth of teaching staff do not intend to get vaccinated.

Getting workers into the NT in any area has always been a challenge.

Also keeping them here once they have arrived.

In the 1980s it was a case of “how long are you here for” at parties. The implication was no-one in their right mind would stay.

The other day one of the swisher waterfront food and drink venues announced it would close two days a week for lack of staff.

Scott Morrison has issued a rallying cry for the nation to address the challenge of climate change “together”, saying reducing emissions is now a question of “how, not if”.

Big ScoMo is a complete retail politician; no foundational principles and shaped by the last thing that touched him.

On Zero Emissions, he’s just had his fortune read by the Biden Administration and Bozza – plus a violent wedgie from the EU. The message: ‘We’re all betting our economies on this renewables stuff; any free-range crap from a G7+1 member will not be rewarded at all well. Capiche?

For Morrison, conversion on the Road to Glasgow is politically convenient. And that’s all.

It’s a fig leaf to avoid pre-election finger-wagging humiliation at COP-26, all the way from Mutti to the President of Rutabaga. Done sincerely enough it might even attract plaudits from Gropey Joe, or some EU grandee.

Better still, it kicks the ground out from the ALP’s campaign – and leaves them having to provide detail of their ‘Zero By 2035’ strategy.

The cost to Australia of all this desperate fluffing and ad hoccing doesn’t register. We’ve all got used to unbudgeted $100 billions flying out of the door.

Don’t worry, I’m not the only one who gets it; we’re still not supposed to admit to the existence of, let alone great damage done by enemies of Christ within The Church, let alone acknowledge those who’ve escaped their soul crushing influence.

However, I also agree with Rosie that it is a leap of logic to assume that all eleven dead were vaxed in the absence of evidence.

Not sure I would describe it as a leap of logic. More of a working assumption.

That’s kind of what I said.
When they omit a stat which they had been running in support of the “pandemic of the unvaxxed” slogan, you are entitled to speculate, that is true.
What was the real breakdown of the eleven deaths?
A majority vaxed?
7-4?
9-2?
Who knows?
But suddenly someone postulated here yesterday that it was 11-zip, and that became fact.
The stuff Mater has been posting is invaluable, because it draws heavily on Government data.

Well another nail in the job coffin.

2nd doc seen today, wouldnt fill in the exemption but quite candid that any docs that did could expect a “please explain” for every single one.

Good conversation, know him quite well, and he was ‘i cant give you advice, but if i were you”…
He also informed me 2 docs in Feraldton had surrendered their registrations over the issue.

I was quite forthright in why, that I consider compulsory medical treatments for this illness as morally repugnant and an awful abuse of power.

Doesnt really help me though..

And for anyone hoping Steiner is coming with the HRC fuggeddubouit…
https://humanrights.gov.au/about/covid19-and-human-rights/covid-19-vaccinations-and-federal-discrimination-law

Section 48 of the Disability Discrimination Act 1992 (Cth) (DDA) provides that it is not unlawful for a person to discriminate against another person on the basis of disability — either directly or indirectly — if the person’s disability is an infectious disease and the discrimination is reasonably necessary to protect public health.
The exemption in section 48 of the DDA clearly applies to people who have a disability that is an infectious disease. ‘Infectious disease’ is not defined in the DDA but it appears likely that it would apply to COVID-19, as it has been accepted as applying to other transmissible viruses such as HIV.

In considering the application of the section 48 exemption in relation to COVID-19, a court would need to consider whether the relevant conduct was ‘reasonably necessary’ to protect public health. The existence of the COVID-19 pandemic, and information and advice from public health bodies such as the Australian Health Protection Principal Committee, would likely be relevant to any consideration of what was ‘reasonably necessary’ conduct.

The exemption in section 48 of the DDA may also extend to people who are not vaccinated against COVID-19 (see Beattie (on behalf of Kiro and Lewis Beattie) v Maroochy Shire Council [1996] HREOCA 40 (20 December 1996)).

However, as judicial consideration has not been given to the application of section 48 of the DDA to unvaccinated people, it is strongly encouraged that anyone seeking to rely upon the exemption in relation to mandatory COVID-19 vaccinations seek legal advice.

Apparently being potentially infected with covid is the same as ACTUALLY HAVING AIDs….

Being “pre-infectious” with a generally short term, 99% survivable condition is the same as a long term condition requiring tens of thousands of dollars to treat each year.
Thats from the best brains in the human rights field.

Its a rationale which, in sane times, would have a truck driven through it.
