are wholly dependent upon the largesse of those they condemn.
Which leads to IT nerds asserting that they need entirely new systems, plus staff, plus their super and vehicle packages to ensure said systems are compatible with something something. Plus adding on half as much cash again to the price for vanity projects unrelated to the original concept.
The testing process and negotiations are excruciating enough to make you want to build the entire framework with star pickets and duct tape instead.
Relatives of the murdered Boers – two of them were twelve year old boys – were unavailable for comment. “Breaker Morant” was a very good court room drama, but largely fiction. Morant’s own orderly testified to the Court that Morant himself had the murdered Captain Hunt’s uniform, and was, in fact, wearing that uniform at the time the Boer prisoner Visser was shot……

Glasgow is clearly a safe space for Twiggy Forest enthusiasts.
The old saying; “Shit or get off the pot” might be old and vulgar, but it’s never been more relevant.
Someone needs to tell Lord Waffleworth it is unseemly to be seeking a liege.
ABC an endurance event today.
Apparently it will be a renew-balls powered gaiafest with guests back to back, Maocolm “Potential greatness” Turdbull and Peter “spastic flogbag” Garrett.
Tractor Kelly moistening up for Glasgow nicely.
Some of the mockery of Biden is getting a tad desperate and the Right may be playing it up too much.
He “appeared” to fall asleep, he “allegedly” shit his pants, etc. The nipple fondling video? All these things could be true, but the again video slowed down and repeated can make anything look deliberate.
Although entirely understandable, this stuff is no better than the insane crap pumped out by the left for years about Trump.
Attacks like these will just be used by the left to dismiss all criticism of Biden and make it harder for serious critics to demolish the agenda of Biden puppet masters.
Yep, the ALPBC have got the groupthink turned up to 11,
I was thinking exactly that last week.
Went for a drive into Bigtown and got a coffee from a van in the local gardens.
There is an old well which is 100 feet deep and brick lined which has been restored.
The plaque on it said it cost 100 pounds or thereabouts and construction had to be completed within 12 weeks.
Without power tools.
FMD.
They wouldn’t get a preliminary EIS done in 12 weeks now.
Once the line was cleared, just like a coal or diesel powered locomotive.
Inspiring stuff, Indolent.
Thanks for posting.
Biden is on the acetate, time and time again, fondling kids.
The Lizard People will not let you see it on the MSM, and not let it be discussed. The evidence will not be admitted.
Havin’ a laff about him being incontinent as well as a letch, it’s about all we can do.
Beautifully put.
Complete collapse of the power grid or a takeover by China might focus some minds but it will be too late. It will take several more generations born into misery before the will and the capacity to change develops enough momentum.
As johanna said earlier…history provides an easily understood primer on this stuff. But we neither value nor teach it because Safe Schools and similar bloated social nonsense dominate the curriculum and weaken children’s ability to think.
A home away from home
By Debbie Cramsie -November 2, 2021
Ten years to the day Pope Benedict XVI blessed and opened Domus Australia in Rome, Cardinal George Pell celebrated Mass there to mark the milestone.
Cardinal Pell, whose vision it was to have an Australian presence in the Eternal City, took the opportunity to thank the many people, especially those who had been with him since the beginning, who helped make his dream a reality.

The tree was allegedly (it is Turdball’s version, after all) across the power lines. Not sure if London-Glasgow is electrified, but your point remains valid for a diesel electric locomotive.
Interesting video on the current supply chain issues – essentially a failure on the part of the manufacturing industry to have sufficient stockpiles of critical components.
They do, however, gloss over the regulatory obstacles that prevent the normal supply & demand functions from working – like the Californian EPA rules preventing trucks over 4 years old from moving goods from the docks.
Leaves on the line or an inch of snow is enough to stop the trains in the UK. They could teach the Sydney Ferries guys a thing or two.
Yeah, nah.
Sometimes too much is never enough.
Sloppy, sloppy reporting (again) courtesy of reuters and the ALPBC – on the topic of protecting forests as announced at the Glasgow Gaia Gimpfest:
The three countries named above actually account for the grand total of 17.5% of the world’s forests, according the FAO. So why single them out as to sound as though they have 85%?
97% of everything announced in Glasgow during COPOUT26 will be complete and utter bullshit, of that we can be certain.
They were terrorists. Fighting for a noble cause, but with desperate tactics.
The Boer War was immoral, no doubt, but the British High Command gave orders they were publicly ashamed of, were fighting assymetrical warfare and coming from the Colonel Blimp/Buy Your Commission era, could not bring themselves to fall on their swords.
Bruce of Newc at 8.34. Worth repeating.
It used to be Johnny Ray (early 50’s) or the Beatles (the sixties) where adolescent girls and some adolescent boys went orgasmic and hysterical over whatever. This also happened in Germany (over Hitler) and in Communist China (over Mao). Now this hormonal excess is turned to other fantasies – about changing gender or about imminent extinction. What was that the Greens leader here said recently about the climate ‘cooking’ the children? Children believe this, they are quite literal beings. That we have allowed a cult ideology to take over what is taught to children in our schools is a lesson about duty of care that we have to learn all over again.
We protect children for a reason. They are vulnerable.

“Some of the mockery of Biden is getting a tad desperate and the Right may be playing it up too much.”
Nope…Sniffer has a very complaint and subservient MSM to cover for him and cover they do. If mockery of the Sniffer was to ever reach Trumpian levels…and it won’t….I might have some sympathy for the Sniffer. Until then…..NO.
BTW……in Rome on the weekend Sniffer made a comment, when introducing Blinken, about “the trains running on time”. Now imagine the mockery, the screams, the smears, the ridicule and the labels of fascist, Nazi et al if Trump had used those words? The MSM duly covered up that faux pas by the Sniffer.
There’s nothing desperate about calling out a senile, decrepit old man who was used as a tool by the Demonrats to conduct a coup last year.
It didn’t happen overnight.
It’s been generations in the making.
And the chief problem isn’t the cult ideology, it’s the elevation of the state over the family.
Observe what’s happening in the US, where concerned parents opposed to aspects of the curriculum are being deemed to be terrorists.
There’s nothing worse than bad timing. If the Boers had waited 40-50 years they’d now have a nation, nuclear weapons and be the industrial dynamo of Africa.
Another obvious sign of the degeneration of our society is the length of time it takes to do anything.
Along with the things he’s doing with SpaceX, that this doesn’t have to be like that may be another of Elon Musk’s great contributions.

https://www.abc.net.au/news/2021-11-01/perth-mother-jailed-after-girl-almost-dies-of-gonorrhoea/100586208
And the mother, i dont know what you do with something like that.
The 34-year-old woman, who cannot be named to protect the identity of her daughter, was first told in 2016 by the then six-year-old child that she had been molested by her stepfather.
On Monday the District Court of WA was told the child also disclosed the abuse to other relatives who reported it to police and the man was charged.
He was granted bail with conditions he not contact the child but, after denying the allegations to the woman, she let him move back into the family’s home and he was left unsupervised with the girl.
His abuse of the girl escalated, and while the mother accepted she had a suspicion it was happening, she claimed she did not realise the extent of it until her daughter, who by then was eight years old, was taken to hospital by relatives and diagnosed with gonorrhoea.
…
The girl had complained weeks earlier of having a sore tummy and feeling sick but medical help was not sought and, by the time she was admitted to hospital, the infection was life-threatening.
Her mother has pleaded guilty to a charge of engaging in conduct knowing that it may result in a child suffering harm as a result of sexual abuse, and one count of attempting to defeat the course of justice.
The second charge related to the woman asking her daughter to recant the allegation she made in 2016 – which she did – that led to the first set of charges against the man being dropped.
……
udge Vernon sentenced the woman to five years and six months’ jail.
She will have to serve three years and six months before she will be eligible for parole and, with time already served, she will first be eligible for release in late 2024.
Her former partner pleaded guilty to six charges and was initially sentenced to nine years’ jail last year.
However, the state lodged an appeal and the term was later increased to 12 years.
Poor kid.

Then again there’s S.M.Stirling’s Draka (shudder).
I wasn’t asking for anyone to feel guilty about the tonnes of garbage tossed around in our environment and washed up in our waterways and on our beaches. It’s my bugbear – it doesn’t have to be yours. And having visited many places in the third world – it’s dialled up to eleventy there.
My point was that bending over and picking sh*t up was a proper starting point rather than worrying about changing the temperature.
Many…many comments on SincCat talked about the problems of food adulteration, from soy to corn syrup and what effects that may have on testosterone levels, amongst other things. There has also been some discussion about microplastic and other chemicals that find their way into the food chain and ultimately…us. That was where my “physiological” comment was directed. And that ridiculous food pyramid.

Probably. So I am not letting King Charles get in the way of the Monarchical principle in spite of his egregious beliefs and behaviour. I expect my government to sit down hard on any King who exceeds his remit by talking politics. Very very soon it should be clear enough to Charles that he is doing just that because the people of Britain, suffering from green ideologies more than most, will be howling for his head. Kings reign by popular assent, and if they don’t then the people turn their backs.
A popular movement for Princess Anne to succeed her mother would go down well. Just legislate to change the date of the female succession, as the legislation already exists for it. A little flexibility, allowing choice, would be no bad thing anyway, so that the Royals would have to prove their worth to be considered. It used to be that way: King Alfred was not in direct line, but rose above is brother’s son.
Queensland Health has suspended 4,000 unvaccinated healthcare workers with full pay after reporting at least one tenth of the state’s workforce had not yet had two jabs.

Paying pubic serpents as though they actually produce items of value was the start of it.
We actually send most of out ‘best and brightest” to be indoctrinated that a career in managing, not doing is the highest calling.
That and the cult of “not for profits”.
We have also somehow managed to get into the position where previously PS jobs were poorly paid drudge work but secure to where they are just as secure, but are commanding “professional” wages over and above those they ‘manage”.

I just think we’re in danger of focussing too much on his obvious personal faults and not enough on the deliberate destruction of America being enacted by the people operating him.
It appears that they’re trying to inflict as much damage as possible, as quickly as possible – hoping that it can never be overturned in the future. You know, the way Trump overturned Barry’s wonderful “achievements”.
They’re using the senile old man to front the wrecking, then he’ll be shunted off into a nursing home and someone ostensibly more with it will step in and pretend to steady the ship. Sadly of course, wrecked will be the new normal.
Changing it will be declared impossible , just like turning back the boats was declared impossible by labor here.
It always has been. I made a fairly comfortable living but the world would not have noticed if I never existed at all. I suspect this is the same for most people.
I doubt Prince Charles will be crowned Charles III.
He most likely will assume a middle name, George VII being the favourite.
As you all know, his grandfather was crowned George VI, rather than Albert I. King Bertie just doesn’t sound right, does it? 😀
“My point was that bending over and picking sh*t up was a proper starting point rather than worrying about changing the temperature.”
I would agree with that. Very Jordan Peterson…….everything starts with basics, make your bed, tidy your room, pick up sh*t, don’t waste food, all things most people once did. It was called being thrifty and frugal…..attributes which are now very undervalued and misunderstood. Being thrifty and frugal isn’t being mean…it’s about conserving, making much out of little and making things last. I regard thriftiness and frugality as two very good things to be. Young people nowadays have no idea about either.
“I just think we’re in danger of focussing too much on his obvious personal faults and not enough on the deliberate destruction of America being enacted by the people operating him”
Disagree. So where has turning the other cheek played out well for the right? No where. For four years Trump was assaulted and assailed with smears, ridicule and bile. Time to throw it back.

Australians fired for refusing Covid vaccine search social media for ‘welcoming’ employers
People turn to Telegram and Facebook to find jobs as mandates bite
Unvaccinated Australians who have lost their jobs for refusing to comply with Covid vaccine mandates are using social media to find and share employment opportunities at workplaces where the new rules are not being enforced.
Telegram and Facebook have had an influx of people searching for paid jobs after states and territories implemented mandates covering a range of industries from health and aged care workers, teachers and police to construction and hospitality workers.
On some job boards, businesses that are happy to accept unvaccinated people advertise that they are “welcoming of everyone”.
Beauty therapists, childcare workers, disability support workers and accountants are among 20,000 people who are members of the largest group for unvaccinated jobseekers in Australia.
…
Steve, who did not give his last name, runs Get it Fast Auto Glass in Sunshine. He has been advertising his company on a directory of businesses not requiring staff or clients to be vaccinated.
The only other staff member is his wife, and he said he would tell his customers he was unvaccinated if they asked.
“I’m not against vaccines, I’m against people making me do it,” Steve said. “I don’t like someone getting forced to do it.”
The managing principal of FCW Lawyers, Andrew Douglas, said if an industry fell under a government mandate, it was not possible to challenge it.*
..
Another emerging issue for employees who are vaccinated is whether they feel safe working alongside those who have not got the jab, said an associate lecturer in law at Monash University, Liam Elphick.**
“Employers have obligations under work safety laws to prevent against workplace risk, not just address it when it happens,” Elphick said.
Covid safety was likely to become “the main arena” of disputes going forward, he said, as vaccinated employees made sure all the necessary checks and balances, including vaccines, were put in place.
“Anyone has the ability to raise concerns about an unsafe workplace,” he said.
*Tyranny it is then.
Pure unadulterated tyranny.
** Obviously law, and not medicine or even “checking the latest news”, because the vaccinated can pass it on as well you fucktard.
Not really. Before the industrial revolution, and even after it, people did real work. Every person was important and the job they did formed part of the village, city or country’s capital. Sure, you had your super elites in the form of royal families and their satellites, but the vast number of the population were workers, producing something of value.
When all you do is consume without producing you become fat and flabby in body and mind. And probably spirit as well. Everyone needs to value themselves and what they do.
Trouble is they are now searching for outside validation from others because they know deep down their work, such as it is, is rubbish. So we get the rise of the “you go girl” and the cult of celebrity and every other malformation of assigning worth to worthlessness.
Correct weight declared.
Lotocoti wins the internets for today.
Not always the biggest fan of Showman Musk – but this is a very good point.

Eyrie, if you haven’t ever read A Small Colonial War by Robert Frezza you have been missing something epic. Afrikaans, Finno-Russian and Japanese culture clash. Just wonderful military SF. It’s a trilogy so get the lot.
I read one of the Drakka series and I don’t think I finished it. Too dark. Frezza’s ones aren’t at all like Stirling’s.
(The paperback has bad glue and falls apart, there’s no Kindle version although there appears to be a PDF version downloadable. Don’t know if it is kosher but. Worth persevering though, marvelous story.)
Not down on Stirling though. I love The General series he wrote with David Drake. It’s awesome.
Cf. David Riesman’s classic sociological study ‘The Lonely Crowd’ (1950).
You might even say he predicted where we have ended up, esp. with the power of social media over the ‘other-directed’ mass of individuals who validate their lives by conforming to the views of the dominant social group. Explains why there is so little genuine questioning and dissent among young people. Corporate and political interests looking to make fortunes by “greening” Western economies have proven quite adept at exploiting this, the “Nordic doom goblin” being a case in point.
I said something similar here and was reproached, by dot iirc, for not throwing things away fast enough.
It’s a variant of the broken window fallacy.
???
I am not sure I would have said that.
Throw things out as they need to be. Too quick and too slow are sub-optimal. Nothing wrong with mending things.
“Oh I was talking about the necessity of Tamponus Rex, as to avert Primus Consul Fitzsimian I…”

That won’t go down well because he’ll be seen to be exploiting his grandson.
Perhaps since he’d be the first green King he could adopt the name Shrek I.
Calling himself King Shrek would be usefully distinctive. Camilla can be Donkey.
Thriftiness is a mindset of creativity. How to do things better, more economically. That’s how inventors invent.
Wastefulness is just garbage production.
All but two of those “terrorists” were what the Boers contemptuously called “Handsoppers.” They were obeying British injunctions to surrender themselves to the nearest British unit, take the oath of allegiance to the British Crown, go home, and take no futher part in the fighting. The “Bushveldt Carbineers were not the colonial version of the Special Air Service Regiment depicted in the film – they were a mounted constabulary, along the lines of the RCMP, formed to accept the Boer surrenders, and escort them to the nearest British Provost Marshall…
I think it was my approval of the Cuban habit of refilling cigarette lighters that you objected to, dot.
It is a consequence of capitalism. By definition, if you make profit from selling things, you make no profit when you sell nothing. Therefore it behoves you to ensure that demand for your product never dies out. One way to do that is to ensure that the product breaks after years of usage. Thus we get products that are not crafted to last, instead they have designed obsolescence. Thus the throw away society.
It is the ultimate ironing that FitzSimian will probably realise his Republican dream the moment the jug-eared green loon takes the throne.
The one most likely to interfere in political matters to save da planet.
Is it just me, or does Dom sound exactly like Dan now?
My wife was watching some press conference on her phone when I entered the room, and I was 100% sure the voice was Dan’s. But apparently not. It was Dom. We were still hoping that NSW will keep 1st of Dec as promised, but alas, not going to happen. And boosters are go.
Nowhere to run.
Huh? I own Zippos and Saromes myself.
Please don’t be dumb. The communists never threw anything away?
WTF?

“I just think we’re in danger of focussing too much on his obvious personal faults and not enough on the deliberate destruction of America being enacted by the people operating him”
The latter is the real issue, but we no longer have a population in the habit of taking time to understand things like that, and it will be a long time before we’re able to rectify that.
In the meantime politics gets won or lost by the soundbite.
Fauci funded the Wuhan labs’ “gain of function” work, with tens of millions of deaths the result, but that hasn’t stopped vast numbers of Americans worshipping him. He’s in far more danger from the revelation that a few beagles suffered from his “experiments”. Don’t get me wrong, if the reports about the beagle experiments are accurate that should be enough for him to be hideously, slowly and publicly tortured to death as an awful warning, but the fact is that objectively that’s less of a reason to sack him than Wuhan, but it’s the one it’s easy to get time-poor members of the public riled about.
So when opportunities to ridicule the senile old pedo crop up it would be folly in practical political terms not to exploit them to the full. Keep working at informing the public about illegal immigrant crime rates, energy vulnerability, rigged elections etc., but when the hair sniffer shits his daks in front of the pope, pump out the memes!
Yes I guess if you are involved in subsistence farming or some variation of it that is true. Looking at history I am pleased we have moved on from there – my own efforts suggest I would have perished anyway. It is still about with the thinking unless you make (manufacture) something you aren’t doing a “real” job.

*I actually thought an anti vax protest might be covered.. foolish me
The next wave of freedoms were not expected to come into force until December 1 but Dominic Perrottet said that would be shifted to Monday, November 8 for fully vaccinated residents.
Unvaccinated people will now have to wait until the state achieves its 95 per cent double dose target, or December 15 – whichever comes first.
I’m still sure what the unvaxxed will be allowed to do from 15th of Dec, but I don’t think it will be much. Will unvaxxed kids be allowed at schools? Will I be allowed to work? I doubt that. Especially in light of “a strong booster program”.
FMS
Who even is the Premier?
Chant or Perrotett.
Just weak as piss.
Nice strawman. We are discussing capitalism and it’s rubbish. If you were confident in capitalism, you would have replied that the rubbish would eventually create a market in recovered materials. This would enable startups to recycle the rubbish to manufacturers as raw materials. This is indeed happening to some extent.
However, most economic systems fail at recycling, because the price to extract new materials is cheaper than the price to extract materials from rubbish. Thus rubbish expands. It will take a RULER to mandate that materials are to be recovered from rubbish regardless of the price. This price differential is present regardless of whether this is a capitalist system or a communist system or any other system.
Never forget what they have taken away from us.
So what? We’re better off having some stuff recycled and some stuff buried or sent into the sun.
Get over it.
lol so my original instinct was correct: Perrotet is an isolated puppet and has no power.
Grate – thanks, you f*cking fascist arseholes.
“forced to go to hospital”.
I didn’t realise that was even happening in QLD.
And your warning, capitulators who foolishly thought “two jabs” and this would be over:
This is never going to be over.
Unfortunately oceanofpdf.com doesn’t have “A Small Colonial War”.
Lots of other stuff though including old Heinlein and Poul Anderson and lots more. Thanks to whoever linked that site.
Then get Calibre which converts epub format to Kindle or other formats. Works great.
BoN I’m guessing you started the Draka trilogy with the middle one “Under the Yoke”. The last one, “The Stone Dogs” has a nice tribute to Poul Anderson, who did some mentoring of S.M. Stirling, at the end. He’s the Captain of the Starship the remnants of the North Americans flee in.
Wouldn’t you want people actually staying at home? Hospitals are literal petri dishes. Your home doesn’t need deep cleaning for golden staph.
Exactly. Or it can be burned, if possible, for energy creation.
Bear, I wasn’t lauding subsistence farming. How could I, when a few comments before I wanted the charlatans at Glasgow cooking over cow pats? Although a few weeks of that wouldn’t hurt them.
I was talking about the substitution of real work for make-work, and the culture of adoration and dependency around the latter. Which is leading our western civilisation, such as it is, into a useless cul de sac of worthlessness.
I see the standard of trolls isn’t improving. A RULER to raise the rate of recycling. Chairman Dan would be licking his lips. Only for the double vaxxed of course.
Super duper ABC expert “University of Queensland virologist Kirsty Short” explains that they have absolutely no idea what in the hell these vaccines actually do, now what they’re doing.
…
…
You look at the situation of boosters for every member of the population
…
Oh my sides. Paging Dr Notafan!
Sooooo Parrot-head has pushed the un-vaxxed release date out to 15 December as an incentive to get jabbed cos sooo many are taking up the offer & he/we is close to 95% and it’ll go all the quicker if! ..
Well, you’ve convinced me, Parrot-head .. I’m sure it’s more about the science than a threat .. sooo ..
I WILL NEVER, EVER take The JAB but thanx for the offer .. LOL!
Then what Service NSW sent me this morning was a blatant lie.
They said that “boosters” would not be mandatory.
We are governed by fiends.
Is Roger Moore riding?
Do you still have those toys from Taiwan and Japan made from recycled war materials?
Yes I agree Dot.
For some things obsolescence is vital. It creates an evolutionary life cycle for the product. But on the whole it is terribly wasteful.
The rubbish that is to be recycled, has to be broken down to it’s raw elements before it can be re-used in modern production systems. It takes energy to do that. Then you have to use energy to re-assemble the raw products into the base materials to be fed into the production system.
The Enviro-genociders cannot see this simple fact. At our current level of materials processing, the best we can do is to burn the rubbish and collect the burnt products for either reuse or burial.
If you want craftsmanship or long lived products, you either have to take profit and costs out of the equation, or pay an enormous amount of money for the product. This is makes it beyond the ability of the system to provide these types of products to everyone.
This means that our civilisation has to come to terms with is rubbish and how to deal with it.
So I’ve avoided Covid news for a week, and I come back and find out everywhere from the ABC to news.com.au happily explaining that the vaccines that people literally are still getting right now under the duress and promise of ‘two jabs and this is all over’ are basically shit, nothing like as promised, and everyone will have to get another one in a couple of months.
Obviously they’ve moved well into the ‘booster’ phase of the ‘roadmap’ – where they happily now explain the vaccine is shit, they have no idea about whether it actually works or not, so you better get another ‘jab’ because this time what The Data Says is right – forget last time.
Some good news.
Experimental depression treatment is nearly 80% effective in controlled study (1 Nov)
I am not a sufferer, but it’s a bugger of an ailment, so a new treatment which works would be very welcome.
Very disheartened to hear that Perrotet has abandoned his intention to release the unvaccinated from bondage.
What price was exacted for the Premiership?
Is there no integrity left in this age of fear, ignorance & the naked wielding of power?
I listened this morning, with great sadness, as a tearful unvaccinated friend told me of the cruelty of erstwhile friends & the difficulty of living with conviction in this age of convenience. She weeps a lot, she said, & worries about her stress levels. I told her I also weep. A vaccinated granddaughter now has a blood disorder & I am worried sick.
But, in a moment of bravado, I told her “you and I were born for this”…….don’t let the bastards get you down……. .
The unvax’d will never be released.
We have, you’re having an existential crisis.
We have millions complex machines (cars) that are very, useful, safe, affordable and reliable.
The same goes for personal computers and phones.
Attempts to build in disposal costs (eg motor oil, tyres and building materials) create black markets and illegal dumping.
Again, markets and prices are the best way to resolve the question.
this word vaccinates, I don’t think you are using it in the traditional sense at all
autocorrect strikes again
Sorry Bear, I did not make myself clear on this idea.
There is no way a economic system would, by itself, advocate recycling. The costs of recovery of the raw materials from rubbish to a state that they can be re-used in our modern materials production would be added to the costs of turning those raw materials into products.
As it seems we are not about to run out of raw materials any time soon, that would impose a double cost on the raw input materials.
If you wanted to re-use rubbish in the production cycle, it must be imposed on the economic system. Thus some form of RULER.
I know someone who had MS and they refused to discuss their adverse reaction to a COVID vaccine because she didn’t want her sister in law telling her “I told you so”.
Australians are not cut out to resist tyranny.
There are too many people complying.
Who knows what else they can pull off without actual resistance.
Apologies I may have jumped the gun. It seems that what you are talking about is relative prices, ie the cost of disposing of stuff is too low. That, essentially, is a value judgement and, as Dot argues there is much to suggest it is about right for most people. Sending plastics to China for “recycling” suggests like any system there is scope for gaming.
So you are saying that the market will bypass the re-cycle mandates. I agree, ergo the requirement for a RULER of some sort to impose on the market. Also, the market is not the best way to resolve the question. The market is the best way to resolve the price of a item, and I have shown that re-cycle costs will always be more than dig it up costs.
You think stuff MUST be recycled, so it justifies force.
Just like coomplying mandatory jabber.
New header up. The artist is José Gallegos y Arnosa, All Souls Day in Rome. The year is late 18thC/19thC, I think .
Have a look at his work. It’s quite something.
It’s outstanding that in the very same article, you’ll have it being overtly explained that they have no idea about these flash new ‘vaccines’ – to cover the explanation about why you now need to get more ‘vaccine’ (we’re still finding out what they do!), but also have them authoritatively explaining that the next ‘jab’ is definitely 115% effective, and completely safe because they know everything about the vaccines.
So apparently Australian Science!(tm), according to themselves, literally didn’t ‘know’ that the vaccine only lasts for six months until now, even though the vaccines have been around for over twelve months and six months ago I was on the old Catallaxyfiles saying they only last for six months because that’s what every country ahead of us was saying.
Here’s the truth: They do know. They all knew everything at the start of the year. The vaccines don’t work as promised – nowhere near, they don’t last for more than a few months, and they require the population to be forcefully addicted to boosters forever to be ‘effective’ in terms of ‘living with’ covid. And here’s the greatest truth of all: they aren’t even vaccines by any definition of the word, these injections are simply relabeled extremely short term preventative treatments that work at varying levels of effectiveness.
In Australia the last 11 months has been the greatest organised conspiracy to present a single orchestrated and carefully crafted version of propagandised reality to an unwitting populace since WW2. Because we’re talking wartime effort levels here – between the Australian government, Science (same thing), and ‘media’ in Australia to not only present a single unified message, but to deliberately not talk about foreign affairs until the Right Time (70% talk about ‘freedom’, 80% talk about ‘mandates’, 90% talk about ‘boosters for life’) . The goal was 95% percent injections and vaccine passports. That was always the target, that is what they’ve promised to Pfizer, Astra and the WHO, and that is what they were going to get to no matter what happened overseas or what they ‘found out’ about the vaccines in the meantime. It’s 95% or bust. It’s vaccine passports and ‘boosters’ or nothing. It’s a digital id and transformation of the economy and society into a medical controlled spiders web that you cannot move in lest you find yourself alerting the attention of the spider and down it comes upon your head and wraps you up and whisks you away.
I see my request to not be addressed by the yappy chihuahua is being ignored.
And I’ll point out that unlike many others I’ve never offered medical advice here, just said I’m not going to run around with my hair on fire about boosters or make morbid speculations about side effects.
And with only months to live or seventeen months to three years eleven months according to Emeritus professor Sir Doctor St Ruth qc mp and bar feels on a particular day, why would I?
Suggestion, you really are a first rate imbecile and that’s the reason you’re frequently advocating who should and shouldn’t post here. You’re embarrassed by your own stupidity and I don’t blame you. You shouldn’t be because you’re another low IQ moron and can’t help it.
Industrial civilization is a series of stages that cannot be viewed in a linear fashion. Let’s say garbage has doubled – trebled even. In 1998, the Economist ran a piece which said that since modern history, the total of accumulated landfill around the world was 30 miles long, three miles wide and 1 mile deep. Who gives a shit even if it’s quadrupled? It has next to no impact on the world.
You mention that modern civilization doesn’t cater for recycling/cleaning. Yes, it fucking does, you complete twat. It’s an expense… a luxury item that is demanded with higher living standards. Truly, you’re a single dimensional goose who shows no ability to think. Shut up.
Yes, but none of them last for 80 years do they? As such they are wasteful. We could design such products, but they require design languages would have to include the ability to upgrade components. We used to do this for computers, but even they have succumbed, and increasingly are available as a single unmodifiable unit.

There’s been sporadic videos that have surfaced in the last two months of the experiences Indigenous communities and people have been having. In particular those that aren’t so fluent in English. The impression I have got has been that the medical interventions aren’t exactly being marketed as optional. As a people pretty done resisting and intergenerationally raised since in compliance.
This video turned up yesterday. Is it old, is it new? Is it in reference to Indigenous communities? It is no less disconcerting than the others in recent times.
https://www.bitchute.com/video/56xxID3kZXTi/
But it does. Recycling will occur until the cost of recovered materials is more expensive than the equivalent virgin supply. Aluminium is perhaps the best example as electricity costs continue to raise the cost of virgin supply.
Dot
You are in la la land. Only the Brits get to decide through Parliament.
There are other ways to show displeasure at an uppity monarch. Limit the number of invitations for royal tours, put unpleasant spots on the agenda (coal mines, aluminium smelters if we still have them). Avoid the Barrier Reef and major cities. The hint will get through.
So Pair O’ Tits is gunning for glory at 95% vaccinated.
How sure are we that the counting is even accurate? They stop counting in LGA’s at 95% in case the numbers kick over 100% and show that it’s bullshit.
Who the fuck cares if ” da market” does or doesn’t ignore waste. Da market produces goods and services. It’s up to you to decide what to do with them after their use-by date. It’s not up to GM to decide what happens to a dead motor vehicle. If we wanted that service it would have to be incorporated in the acquisition price. It doesn’t! You deal with it.
The western world is “clean” because cleanliness is a luxury item and only wealthy people are able to afford this service. You cannot if you’re poor. It’s an expense, you testicle brain.
So fucking what? Who cares accept a communist twat like you?
We used to do this for computers, but even they have succumbed, and increasingly are available as a single unmodifiable unit.
It is called large scale integration. Instead of a circuit board with lots of smaller chips around the CPU, most of the peripherals are integrated into the one chip of silicon.
The circuit board is smaller and cheaper and the whole thing gets much cheaper. No point in upgrading.
Silicon and epoxy are relatively cheap. The cost is in the processing
Oh dear. I was right.
Goodbye. See you at the next Socialist Alliance wine and cheese night.
twostix, I’ve found a very good website on substack that is very sceptical of vaccine efficacy, universal vaccination program, etc. that I will reveal tomorrow because I’ve worked on a long post summarizing some of the material, that I mentioned Sunday. Let me tell you, its not only that efficacy for infection appears to fade within 5 months (it leaves you worse than the unvaccinated after that), a Swedish study indicates that whatever protection it gives re severity (hospitalization and death) appears to fade to negligible levels within 7 months (halved in 5 months) and some of those vaccinated are even more likely to suffer a severe reaction then the unvaccinated. Let me tell you, I’m more than a little worried about 2022; not only because of the virus, but because the governments are likely to double down on the vaccination ad nauseam as they did with lockdowns before.
The idea that defence force build processes are slow isn’t necessarily true, although the build process for the French submarines was laughable. Announced in 2016, not a metre of steel had been cut when they were cancelled five years later.
The Kreigsmarine – the German Navy – of WWII, had 1,156 submarines built through the World War II years. Following the Battle of the Coral Sea, the aircraft carrier USS Yorktown was repaired over several days for the coming fight at Midway – a repair that had been estimated at three months.
But perhaps the most admirable naval build record of all time was the construction of the mighty HMS Dreadnought, the battleship than revolutionized naval warfare prior to the Great War. Laid down in 1905, only 15 months later this 527 foot 18,000 ton monster was sailing. The British public had demanded “eight, and we won’t wait”. Perhaps the Australian public could learn from their refusal to be second-classed in what is needed for effective defence.
What has happened to Dec 1 in NSW? They are moving the date when they stop withholding our freedoms from us?
You’re a stasist idiot. In terms of what you’re advocating, you’d have Bob Brown only approved goods and services.
Let me make a suggestion. This sort of discussion causes you anxiety. Go to the doc and get a bunch of meds to help you through life.
No, I never said that. I said that an economic system cannot justify recycling on costs. I said nothing about cleaning. I get what you are saying. Basically, that the cost of recycling is so great that it can only be paid when you have paid for all the other things you want in your life and have extra resources with which to pay for it.
As far as I can see, in Australia, not many want to pay for or want it. Almost all recycling in Australia is imposed upon us by government, the RULER I mentioned. Not only that, it’s the most useless form of recycling – point to you.
except!!!
That sound you hear in the background is the clinking of moving goalposts.
And there’s one final unspoken truth, buried under stupid delusional childishness that these ‘vaccines’ work as they were promised, are ‘the only way back to freedom’ and cartoonish Qanon diversionary idiocy that everyone who has had one is going to drop dead at once, the comparatively mundane real truth lays waiting to be unearthed: once you have the ‘jab’ of this experimental biotech platform, your immune system loses the ability to deal with covid without it. The more ‘jabs’ you have, the worse it gets and the more dependent on the ‘jabs’ and their manufacturers you become. This goes for society at large too.
Good luck.
You call THAT freedoms?
Ok on our chap who had the full blown life threatening reaction to the vax,.
You know who reported it.
was it
A: the doctor that said he was fine to have it despite previous reactions to vaccinations?
B; The vaccination team who gave him the jab after it was oked by the doctor?
C: the medical team that performed the interventions that stopped him carking it from the vaccination reaction?
D: Himself, via the WA vax adverse reaction portal?
…
In addition he and I have been given the run around trying to get a record of the event to present as proof for the doc to do an exemption
Including memorable lines like ‘you will have to lodge a FOI request for that” from some involved.
That was finally 1/2 sorted and he due for a callback from a specialist vax crew in perth.
Anyone like to speculate on how well managed the adverse reactions database is?
‘Freedom’ no longer exists in Aus. The ‘vax’d’ think they are free but they aren’t. Time to identify alternative countries that value freedom over tyranny.
Look, you travesty of a human being, the advanced world’s production of steel comprises 75% recycled and 25 basic ore. Steel has always been recycled since we invented it’s use. Therefore, this example alone neuters your stupid assertion. When it’s economic, recycling will be introduced economically. Forcing this simply is a waste of scarce resources that could be utilized elsewhere.
Existing through life is a package of expenses distributed over time. The wealthier we become the more we demand in clean up.
Perhaps, because it’s not a problem here. It’s made a problem by worthless local government.
Not sure if it was posted before, but I just found it recently.

extremely short term preventative treatments that work at varying levels of effectiveness.
before BAT FLU you bought this sort of, packaged,stuff over the counter at the supermarket/chemist but now it comes in multiple injections from the seller-you-know-you-can-trust .. GUMMINT .. LOL!
This means that our civilisation has to come to terms with is rubbish and how to deal with it.
Have you been watching WALL E?
It is not an incentive. It is extortion.
What a stupid man.
No, worse than that. He took the job mouthing some essential democratic principles, like how the government has no job rationing out freedoms because freedom does not come from the government.
A faithless man.
All seem to be now convinced that the enemy is the unvaccinated.
Fear rules.
Sorry JC and Bear, I am NOT advocating anything. I am just pointing out that the current economic systems are antithetical to recycling.
If I were to advocate for something, it would be for the implementation, in Australia, of the waste recovery systems used in Europe. i.e. incineration of waste.

A safety culture not designed by Karens would also help them in this, I suspect.

Berenson on his substack.
Going to raise the alarm on the incoming QLD CHO suddenly quitting. I bet they were they telling him he was going to be expected to do what was necessary to people in ‘the regions’ to force up those numbers.
It’s a long, long way from 64% to 95% at this point, and they’re late, very very late. And they’ve made promises, to the National Cabinet, to Pfizer, to the WHO. Thing may get very hairy in QLD in December.
WA scampi barbecued and then dressed in burnt butter and sage. There’s not much better . Had them for dins last night with an Italian rose. Just wow.
I don’t doubt too much that Perrotet believes what he says about not wanting a two tier society etc.
I just think that Perrotet is the only one in NSW parliament who thinks like that.
Also Chant has real tangible power under the emergency powers, he can’t tell her what to do without taking NSW out of the state of emergency. She’s undoubtably – with the likes of her surrogate husband Hazzard at her back, telling Perrotet that she’ll ‘do what’s best for NSW in the name of Science(tm) with or without his permission.
He can sack her.
People who have not been vaccinated yet clearly do not wish to. It is not that the lines have been long or supplies running out. (If there were there are substitutes which government – adding scarcity in everything – have banned.)
So this can be nothing more than naked coercion.
Is this general political cravenness? Has he not noticed that he was praised for promising to release us and allow life to return to normal (even baby steps)? Has bureaucracy frightened him with tales of how freedom complicates administration? Have his staffers convinced him that there are more votes in supporting Karens’ desire to exercise more control over other people’s bodies than those people themselves?
Does this man really think he will come out of this looking better.
If anyone knows his Parish Priest perhaps suggest leaving some cushions on the kneeling rail next weekend because there might be some heavy duty penance going on.
Or don’t. Tell him instead there is an untested experimental vaccine for his knees, and that he does not have to have it, but if he doesn’t he will be excommunicated. But that is a choice, so nothing bad there.
Good article.
At least it is factual to a point.

Fuck Stuart Ayres!
Keep an eye on our professional sportsmen and women. I expect one or two to mysteriously have a year off.
My God, I just heard Perrotet saying on TV that his intention in the new directions is to “unite society”!
So, deferring the release of the unvaccinated, in order to coerce them into vaccination, is “uniting society”:
Have they drugged the man? We are truly now in an Orwellian society!
Not if he’s an isolated figurehead.
As the Gladys faction regroup and recover they’ll start running the government via the CHO, this was his biggest test and he’s been completely steamrolled.
It seems his best possible play is to hope that everone gets vaccinated then remove the restrictions on the last remaining person and declare victory. But clearly they aren’t even going to allow him to have that.
Re: what Ayres said: this is the end conclusion of “back the blue”.
It was only ever idiocy, go against Peel’s Principles and you are likely to end up with at best petty tyranny.
I love scampi. Even more than prawns.
Hold the line.
Remember Chant on a more illucid day talked about 97-98% double vaccinated.
I think they half escorted her off to stop her babbling.
I object to the un-boosted being allowed to wander around society.
This is almost hilarious.
At the same moment that the QLD government are still pretending and lying to regional QLD that it’s ‘just two jabs and this is all over’, NSW is already onto ‘just three jabs and it’s all over’, while Israel is at ‘just four jabs and it’s all over’.
Back in reality obvious facts speak for themselves:
“I object to the un-boosted being allowed to wander around society.”
I object to the unintelligent and the corrupt running our government.
Alas, our objections are irrelevant to our “leaders” unless they advance the required political agenda and/or garner votes.
And so, your objection (tongue in cheek or not) will likely be acted upon, whereas mine will not.
Pfizer:
Moderna:
AstraZenecca:
COVAX
Just two jabs and it’s all over!
“These were planned to be booster doses…”
Like I said, your government has been operating all year knowing that it’s not ‘two jabs’. They have been lying to everyone so everyone would get the first two.
Thank you, Dover. A little more here on this beautiful painting.

Agreed and there’s a very good reason for this. If the restrictions on the unjabbed were lifted, then the entire bat flu fear porn hysteria industrial complex effectively vanishes up its own fundament overnight.
This of course, cannot be allowed to happen.
The most infuriating aspect of this entire interminable clusterf*ck is that we’ve effectively become hostages to those loathsome fascist idiots’ gullibility, stupidity incompetence and hubris.
They will never admit they’re wrong, nor they will ever deign to give us back our erstwhile “freedoms” on any kind of semi unconditional basis. So here we are, being bullied and hectored by quite possibly the most stupid arrogant and dangerous “ruling class” to have tyrannized people in the West in since WW2.
They are increasingly preposterous, embarrassing power mad lunatics. Sooner rather than later, they will have to be shut down and most likely through the administration of violence – which I am not advocating, but simply observing that it increasingly seems there is no other way out of this intolerable situation.
Submission to this disgusting unrelenting idiocy is not the solution.
Suckers!
The Australian.
Just to repeat:
This is weird:
So they say this “COVAX Facility” is to provide vaccines to poor countries…apparently like Australia:
Not creepy.
Tell me this doesn’t read like a scam / embezzlement scheme:

But not the unvaccinated. They are to be denied early treatment, forcibly hospitalised, sedated and then subjected to a procedure with a fatality rate of 50%. Because that’s what refuseniks deserve and we can fucking well do it.

P, Spanish civilization is part of our patrimony as Men of the West. Many of its artists are masters. We are going to see more of their works here.
Dover: Easton Wood’s retirement from the Doggies brought exactly that thought to mind.
Dover, two more blog posts on that story today:
Swedish study of 840,000 shows vaccine efficacy at 7 months at, wow, zero (2 Nov)
CDC Reports 28x More Fully Vaxxed Than Unvaxxed Were Hospitalized With COVID June-Sept (1 Nov)
The latter also has UK and Israeli data. Both are consistent with the original Israeli study which showed the immunological response generated by Pfizer was nearly gone after 60 days (that data is repeated in the latter article).
What we don’t yet know is what the time-based efficacy of the booster shot is like, but given the immediate response is about half that of the original vaccination I wouldn’t think it’s going to last very long either.
Note well, also, that when these studies refer to infection, they don’t mean positive case whether asymptomatic or symptomatic, they mean only symptomatic infection, so negative efficacy in terms of symptomatic infection is even more problematic than what I, or we, have otherwise thought.
If the “booster” shot is the same formulation as the original jab (s), which ceased any efficacy weeks before, then it’s reasonable to expect it will do exactly the same thing.
Nothing.
