Sorry, Ed, I can’t help myself when a nice sciency segue presents itself. 😀
Australian Submariners have been on USN Nuclear Powered Subs, but none have been allowed into the Nuclear Propulsion Compartment.
Are you challenging that, Top Ender?
I think he already did, gypsum-snorter.
And you lost the argument the moment you logged on and started to type.
Please change your script- This one is boring?
May we know more about that Dread Pirate Theodorrrrrrr Detmerrrrrrrs (Yarrrrr!) and his dastarrrrrrdly plan to sink the HMAS Sydney with the Whiiiiiiite Suuuuuuuub?
Or about your time-travelling exploits to pre-Federation Brisbane, and the Brisbane River’s pristine sandy bottom?*
* AKA Where the hell did you get a licence to operate a Time Machine from, when you clearly failed the aptitude test?
And are you the source of Australia’s Mutton shortage, Grigory?
Breaking up with M. Micron and his $90bn submarines by text because White House press schedule and ‘no pickup’ in Paris was pretty extraordinary.
But the usual suspects are currently bronzing themselves:
Morrison accused of worsening rift with French government after leak of Macron text
By:
Penny Wong
Albanese
Kevin Rudd
Michael Trumble
The Grauniad
All conveniently ignoring the facts that:
• Micron knew the deal was on the skids; and
• Micron put his own political interests first and publicly and deliberately called Morrison out as a liar.
Rudd (and bff Turnbull) are also stabby over Morrison’s affront to President Poopy, by backgrounding on the failure of the Administration to give the old lizard a proper briefing.
No winners.
For me, but I am easily pleased, the best show on Netflix is one recommended by my 2-year old granddaughter – Pingu – delightful and very funny and in no way woke — everything is pretty much black and white unless there’s pottery and painting to be done.

Oh I’ve heard tell that the lantern-jawed craven duplicitous Prime Minister is getting a bit of exactness – how unsurprising — is he’s thinking Why me? —
Really who gives a fuck about our ‘diplomatic relations with France’. I thought the approved line was “Australia’s future is in Asia”. Actually I think Japan, Taiwan and South Korea are much more important allies or should be anyway. While France is controlled by a puppet of the EU-Globalist-UN-Marxist-Soros cabal, we’re better off forgetting about it.
Only makes sense with a vaccine that provides immunity.
These ‘vaccines’ are now so dreadful that even the relentless liars pushing don’t feel comfortable going that far.
Though you do still read the occasional article where the phrase is thrown in because it sounds good.
Thanks Rex now I know why it’s not recommended to watch sausage-making
Agree with that.
I still say Macron and Biden have got a big problem if they lied about Scotty.
The SubsDeal that Turnbull engineered was a great deal, Turnbull’s honeymoon with NewsCorp ended shortly after, then Scotty emerged from the instability.
Any chance he made promises to cancel the French Subs deal in return for a bit of armtwisting of a few Dutton supporters?
I love the artwork on the banners – the 17th century Dutch artists are my particular favourites – saw the Dutch Masters exhibition in the National Gallery of Victoria when the collection was sent over here while they were renovating the Rijksmuseum – unforgettable.

You are correct in that relative to actual vaccines, they are not safe. More death and adverse events reported than all other actual vaccines put together. I mentioned earlier that these medical interventions are only providing mRNA which codes for an individual protein rather than all the other bits and pieces that the body would encounter if it actually was responding to a virus. That a single mRNA and consequent protein does not set off the network cascade of intra-cellular communication that is necessary. The timing is also important in that developing a specific immune response takes weeks. There are a lot of little sub steps.
The delivery vehicle which is being used in the Moderna and Pfizer vaccines is actually for chemotherapy. Without it the mRNA encased in lipid would be cleared from circulation by the innate immune system rapidly with ease. There would be no need for the body to bother selecting, maturing and proliferating specific white cell lines to clear foreign mRNA.
https://patents.google.com/patent/US20100216804A1/en?oq=2010%2f0216804
Then along pops all these franken spike proteins on the outside of cells that lot long ago had no “non-self” or “danger” issues. The immune system is confronted with a molecular situation that makes no sense at all- it will not make a lasting immune response. Why the hell should it? Should you see a flying horned pig, or “unipig”today, likelihood and causality aside, would you expect to see another next Friday and every second Sunday thereafter(?)

I am not so sure the chocolate machine would be unaffected. It may “die” a slow death from rust. When the operators go out of business because kids lose the taste for the chocolates.
However the butter unlike malicious code or a mRNA medical intervention does not introduce operating instructions to the electrical systems controlling and regulating the compressor.
…question about evidence of changes to DNA seems general, it is in fact intended as something quite
It is really hard to say. The jabs are all experimental and while there are registered patents describing the technologies, the ingredients and preparation processes are proprietary.
You use the term evolutionary which would suggest you are thinking about changes in heritability post medical intervention. There’s not a starting point for that is there- all the experimental animals in recent and past other experimental “vaccines” for coronaviruses, died on re-exposure to coronavirus. Which implies there is a significant effect on DNA heritability as a result of these particular medical interventions. Though beyond creating certain death, nothing been ascertained from animal experiments.
Dammit Grigory!
Not when I’m eating!
Now I have to wipe crumbs off my screen…
Not very bright ed. Biden doesn’t know what day it is and Micron is playing to home audience, re: election.
The SubsDeal that Turnbull engineered was a great deal,
It was the equivalent of Billy Hughes’ government agreeing to pay vast sums of money for Sopwith Camels retrofitted with hot air balloon elevation technology for delivery in time for the Korean War.
So, here’s what shits me about the putrid MSM, although it’s only the latest shit lie.
All day I have looked at the MSM propaganda which states or says ;”Micron head says Scomo lied”.
Fact is, he did not say that, he said “I know”!”. Etc etc bla bla je suis bla!que?
Micron was asked a leading question by some fucktard and gave his mmmmm answer.
The ever too powerful press in Australia reported that the frog said scomo lied, but he didn’t.
So the msm ran like froggie cowards with it and spew it out to us.
There is no wonder we, who read and comment here are partial to the revolution.
Cop 26 can go and fornicate with themselves and for us,
REMEMBER THE ALAMO!
The SubsDeal that Turnbull engineered was a great deal,
Jeez what a ridiculous statement. Even without the yankee nukes, it’s good that this abomination has been killed off. Trumble couldn’t engineer anything, he’s just a sharp suited lawyer. A walking, talking example of what’s wrong with Australia.
The SubsDeal that Turnbull engineered was a great deal,
ROFLMAO! I’ve got a bridge for sale Ed, payment in BTC.
How would I know whether RAN submariners have been inside US nuclear boat reactor compartments Ed?
The Submarine Service is a very discrete and discreet part of the Navy. They keep themselves to themselves. As every pusser knows.
My point is – you don’t know they haven’t.
How are you going with the rest of the questions I asked you to clarify?
They have been known to admit, under pressure, that, yes, R.A.N. does actually operate submarines….
He says what he’s told to say..
What he’s been told to say is that the Administration was completely blindsided by Scotty canceling the Subs Contract.
Who believes that?
Scotty doesn’t even fart without clearing it with the Yanks.
So why didn’t he blame the Company for underperforming the Contract?
Because that would invite a response.
So he called Scotty a liar, which isn’t true in this particular event.
Concluision:
Macron has got something to hide, as well as being a political novice.
Funny how Tim Smith is being kicked out when Dan Andrews after a barbecue was in a car accident that badly injured a young boy. Firies were called first and funnily enough when police arrived they forgot to breathalyse

Terry Gilliam, the former Monty Python star, has been “cancelled” by one of Britain’s leading theatres because some of its staff had concerns about his views.
Gilliam, 80, had been due to co-direct the Stephen Sondheim musical Into the Woods at the Old Vic in London next year. The American composer had expressed support for Gilliam’s artistic vision for the production.
The theatre, however, has unexpectedly announced the cancellation of the show. Gilliam, who could not be contacted, is said to have upset members of staff at the Old Vic because of his views on various topics, including Harvey Weinstein and trans rights.
Last month Gilliam publicly supported the US comedian Dave Chappelle, who has been accused of attacks on the trans community. Gilliam said Chapelle was “socially aware, dangerously provocative and gut-wrenchingly funny”.
Chappelle’s perceived anti-LGBTQ comedy skits had led to walkouts by staff at Netflix, which has a long-standing contract with the comedian.
Last year Gilliam described the #MeToo movement as a “witch hunt” and while saying he “hated” the film producer and sexual predator Weinstein, added that there were “decent people” who were “getting hammered” by the movement and its highlighting of abuses of power.
Weinstein was one of the most powerful producers in Hollywood until he was named in the scandals. He was imprisoned over sexual assault charges in 2020. “There are many victims in Harvey’s life and I feel sympathy for them, but then Hollywood is full of very ambitious people who are adults and they make choices,” Gilliam said. “We all make choices and I could tell you who did make the choice and who didn’t. I hate Harvey. I had to work with him and I know the abuse.”
Gilliam also raised hackles in an interview with The Independent newspaper last year. After being questioned about the privileges of “white men” he replied: “When I announce that I’m a black lesbian in transition people take offence at that. Why?”
The Old Vic was the British theatre most affected by the #MeToo movement after allegations were made about the actor Kevin Spacey during his tenure as artistic director of the venue. Following an investigation the theatre said 19 people had made allegations of “inappropriate” behaviour by Spacey. It said his “star power” had meant people were reluctant to make complaints about him to management. The theatre also suffered a financial hit from the pandemic although it did salvage some money, and credit, through its innovative digital stagings.
John Berry, former artistic director of the English National Opera, whose production company Scenario Two holds the rights for Into the Woods, said they were “focusing on finding a new home for this show”. He said: “These things happen. It’s not the first change of plan for a West End show or the last, and current times everywhere are unpredictable.” He added: “The designs and vision for the show is vintage Gilliam.”
Gilliam’s former Monty Python partners have been critical of “cancel culture”. It was announced this year that John Cleese was to explore the phenomenon in a new series on Britain’s Channel 4. He has criticised the “stifling” effect of political correctness on comedy. According to the channel, Cleese’s series will “explore why a new ‘woke’ generation is trying to rewrite the rules on what can and can’t be said”.
No one from the Old Vic was available for comment. It told The Stage in a statement that a meeting had taken place between its executive director Kate Varah and members of staff following the announcement in May of Into the Woods. It said senior management had later met Gilliam and his co-director Leah Hausman “as a matter of course to discuss our culture and values”. The theatre said it had “mutually agreed” with Scenario Two “that the production of Into the Woods will not take place at the Old Vic”. The show had been due to open in April and thousands of tickets had been sold.

On 3 November 2016, Engie announced that Hazelwood would be closed by the end of March 2017, citing the company’s transformational policy of investing solely in low-carbon and renewable energy, as well lower energy prices and oversupply within Victoria.
And
The largest shareholder in Engie is the French government, which owns 33% of the company. The French Environment Minister said ENGIE would ‘disengage’ from Hazelwood power station during a documentary that aired on French TV in May 2016.

Romanian MEP explains to audience how Big Pharma forced governments around the globe to sign Secret Agreements in exchange for Vaccines. He states that they received redacted versions of the agreement.
How “forced”? Who needs their dodging products? I’m sure some of the hidden clauses in that contract refer to the withholding of lifesaving treatments, which is effectively murder. Why do governments bow to these criminals?

Bit of discussion above about the concept of ‘waste.’
Look, as a person of Dutch heritage, thrift and minimising ‘waste’ is ingrained in my fingernails. Much of it is irrational in 2021. But, I still do it.
My point is that ‘waste’ is a cultural thing, driven by economic necessity. ‘Make do and mend’ was about maximising the physical resources that people had. It was nothing to do with morality.
Meanwhile, out there in the ‘nature’ that dewy-eyed but ignorant acolytes espouse, they should be grateful that they are not a spermatozoa or a grain of pollen.

Fat T,
As expected, it’s sputtering to a halt. The fullbloods in the communities (particularly down in the desert) want no part of the vaccination process, as they’re a superstitious lot to begin with. Some of them believe that an evil spell is in it. Vax rates in some joints are single figures.
To counter this and skew the figures, he’s only made it mandatory for ‘workers’ – ie, nurses, firies, cops, bar staff, other retail staff. You’ll be able (if failed local businessman turned Chief Minister Michael Gunner doesn’t change his mind again) to go into a pub and have as many beers as you like, but you won;t be able to serve them from behind the jump.

Driller, pass Adonis our fondest regards. Is he still being chased around the gym by barely legal girls?
Garbage. Lennox has nothing useful to say.
All our experience of the universe is derived from long after it came into existence. So we conclude that nothing can come out of nothing because we’ve never seen it happen. That doesn’t mean it couldn’t have happened once a longish time ago.
You’re happy to buy lousy arguments because you want to. This is extremely vulgar.
Somebody on this blog recommended James Hollands book “Brothers in Arms – One Legendary Tank Regiments Bloody War From D-Day to VE-Day.”
It’s an account of the Sherwood Rangers – they were the first British unit to cross into Germany. Damnfine reading, a good account of a tank unit, not only in battle, but also out of the line.
There’s one aspect of military history I had never thought about.
After some weeks in the front line, the unit was withdrawn , and packed off to a colliery, to use the pithead showers.
“At the showers there was a strict and efficient system: they stripped off, chucked their old clothes in a pile, had a good shower, threw their towels on a heap, and headed, naked but clean to a bench, where clean clothes were issued.” Page 360.
That bench was staffed by Belgian women, who had not only seen all of 8th Armoured Brigade in the buff, but also all of 43rd Wessex Division and the Desert Rats too. By my reckoning, that’s some thirty thousand or so unclothed men.
Any Kittehs care to comment?
Likely NSWPOL treat PDWs like the FN P90 as pistols.
Or it’s the next best alternative to trying to claim the block of plastic as a machine gun.
I seem to recall a few years back that a digger doing some pack marching training in his own time down the back of Enoggera, was the subject of multiple panicked phone calls to police and was ultimately accosted by half a dozen policement.
His crime? To carry a training aid made of steel bar that mimicked the size, weight, grip profiles and sling points of an F88 Austeyr. Same as the umpteen morons in the past who have mistaken Hi-Lift ‘kangaroo’ jacks for some form of impractically massive and ‘tacticool’ anti-materiel rifle on the bonnet of someone’s rock-hopping 4WD.
To borrow from the Afrikaans, “Fokking civvies, man…”

It is my consolation prize for there not being a second copy of Beevor’s Arnhem book at Boffins Bookstore in Perth a few weeks back- That last copy in the store went to a family friend for his birthday. The man was over the moon at the gift. 🙂

FWIW, I thought Beevor’s book on Arnhem fairly average. The best book I have ever read on that battle was Robin Neillands “Battle for the Rhineland.” He was one of the first authors to point the big finger at the 82nd Airborne……

*(they could by taking tips from the more proactive & aggressive atsils lawyers)
I pointed out years ago that Stalin had won the cold war despite being dead. Good to see that someone has caught up.
Drunk again, and bawling on, J## C##########. Poor, sad, tired and pathetic.
And just to prove that it can be done in the meatspace:
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=HsxBw6ls7Z0
And what you pointed out was ridiculous. The Western left is not in a good place at the moment and with a few exceptions is in retreat or has to pretend it’s winning elections by cheating.
If Stalin had won the Cold War, the Soviet Union would still be intact with perhaps a few bits of Europe added on to that rotten carcass. It’s not intact and the entire GDP of what’s left (Russia) is about the size of Italy’s GDP which is about 40% of the Russian population.
Is there an argument that the West could be defeating itself? No!
Isn’t the vulgar argument that something can come out of nothing so long as it was a long time ago and only once? I mean, I never see that ‘possibility’ entertained in the present, or the near past? Or the near future (excluding renewables, were everything is considered possible in the near future). The only time I ever read sane individuals doubt the principle of causality, or the principle of sufficient reason, and the like, is in arguments for the existence of God. No where else.
But, look, this is a happy position for a theist to find themselves.
Rones, If you think your veiled threat of doxing scares me, you drunk, cuckold, you really need to sleep off the alcohol. As I predicted earlier today, you only pretend to own a pair of knackers (those she stole from you) in the late hours.
Other military guys have wondered aloud about you and how you weren’t hazed and beaten up everyday. Seriously. Most here, would wonder too.
The West won the military/ econonic cold war. Stalin won the ideological war. For example: The opposition to nuclear power in Australia came directly from Stalin’s orders to communists in Oz. And has been maintained by the watermelons ever since.
No. The origin of the universe being a singular event and not remotely like anything that has happened since is not likely to be explicable in terms of our experience.
The Soviet Union lost the ideological war too. What’s left of communism in Russia? Putin is the wealthiest man in the world.
Until now, not counting the Green slime and even then I would say 50% of the slime do not go with the communist Adam Bandt’s view. That’s perhaps 5% of voting age Australians who don’t want anything to do with nuclear energy. No biggie.
How much grief did that bi-partisan support for nuclear subs receive in Australia when the deal was announced? Zero?
And then there’s this week’s sickening apotheosis of the KGB-infiltrated Green Movement, as well as the UN and its organs busy imposing a single template for a pandemic response on the world, thanks to Nosferaflu.
And the Borg-like legions of good little Marxists from the bugmen to the academics to Amnesty Internationalites to the obscenely rich and prosperously connected neo-nomenklatura (and those chardonnay-sipping bourgeousie who ape them) and the rock- and petrol bomb-throwing street militias.

How many so called Australian Politicians are NOT infused with fabian/communist ideology let alone so called public servants?
ZERO TAXATION
Perhaps we need to reconsider Marxism and its evil little suckers and offshoots as being a man-made religion instead of a mere ideology.
In this sense, its constant reappearance in umpteen different forms (and the hilarious schisms and heresies this provokes) makes more sense.
Marxism as derived in 1879 faced its first crisis of belief in 1920-24, when newly Sovietised Russian society all but carked it. Lenin stroking out and the Georgian arsehole considating his control did not help matters.
Somewhat reformed under its new Master, Communism became a patriarchal, prosletysing faith. Finding traction amongst the rich and idle in the west, and even more murderous expression amongst its devotees and subjects in Eastern Europe. It fought off its competitors between 1941 and 45, obtained millions more followers and established outposts and missions worldwide.
Consistent military and political rebuttals in the 1960s through 80s saw it being forced to reform again, as idealists and zealots sought to take Communism’s transformative and millenarian aspirations and apply them semi-independently of the increasingly calcified and moribund Centre of the Faith in Moscow. Marxism now applied to race and sex and the Environment (reviving ancient animist ideals for political gain), not just economics.
The great Glasnost and Perestroika Heresies if the late 80s and early 90s finally shattered the power of Marxism as it was known, and shifted its powerbase into zealous young preachers and believers amongst its most hated enemies. Especially those Christian organisations not rooted in their own faith, and wont to chase the world in its windblown giddiness.
Think of latter-day Sexual, Racial and Environmental Marxism as semi-competing Reformation movements (versus the established pseudo-Marxism of China) with an old guard of Classical Marxists in Sestern society…

Then it can be plowed into FMG (bought more yesterday), AMI, JMS… possibly keeping KAR if they can move to blue chip status.
For the military history book nerds among us.
The History of the Sixth Battalion the Royal Australian Regiment Volume I: Vietnam Era 1965-1970.
Black Swans over Java.
Avonmore Books also has some great Japanese WWII aviation illustrated books.
It’s an understated Al Goodwyn for me this morning. Thanks, Tom.
I may have called that a bit early. I also like Branco, Stiglich and Margolis.
I approve of how you append (Anti-Business Daily) to Rowe’s name, Tom. If we don’t call it as we see it, we’ll be nose-bridge deep instead of just chin deep as we are now.
LOL. That’s based on this story:
Biden Cruises Rome with 85-Car Motorcade Before ‘Climate’ Summit (30 Oct)
Been listening to the audiobook of ‘The Gulag Archipelago’, it’s around 75 hours long. I’m about 20 hours in. It’s amazing but the endless descriptions of the evil that was the USSR is both amazing and depressing. A work of genius but I’m wondering if I’ll stay the course.
Croissants are killing the planet.
‘Eat fewer croissants!’ France’s eco minister urges breakfast change in climate fight (2 Nov)
You should avoid the puff pastries too then Mr Johnson.
IT’S HAPPENING AGAIN – Judge In Virginia Dismisses Case – Allows Fairfax County to Include Absentee and Mail-In Ballots in Governor Election that Violate the Law
I suppose it takes that many of them to make sure Biden is alive and coherent (well somewhat). The last presidential candidate Democrats had needed to be peeled off a post and tossed in the back of a van before she disgraced herself. Democrats can certainly find them.
But Trump wrote mean tweets. What I wouldn’t give for a mean tweet now.
Of course it is. Did you think Democrats would let the people decide anything ever again. The election result of 2016 surprised and scared them so much that democracy had to go.
Time to ask the question after yesterday’s moving of the, freedom, goalposts .. again!
Is dum parrot-head the luv-child of GLADYS & the dapto dish-licker? ..
I would be too scared to read it in case it showed how closely we are tracking with what occurred in USSR. I’m already thinking we are done for and will never be free again. Solzhenitsyn had somewhere to escape, we have nowhere to go for asylum.
Yeah, I thought that too after seeing this headline:
Trafalgar Poll: Youngkin Has 2.3-Point Lead in Virginia Gubernatorial Race (1 Nov)
They always play games with the polls too, so that the Dem is just behind the Republican, so that they can stir the rank and file to go and vote. Yet the “margin” is kept small so a “surprise win” isn’t too unbelievable. Polls are now completely fake.
BAT FLU fact check : TRUE …

It means he is just a figurehead. If he had any power he would have got rid of Kerry Fauci.
I have been rereading Hitler’s First Hundred Days.
The parallels are striking.
Went to the beach yesterday.
Black letterboxes are always disconcerting but on a hot day at the beach they move into mighty peculiar territory.
Just catching up on last night’s discussions. Re the idea of all legislation having sunset clauses and having to be reintroduced into Parliament at regular intervals, it would also have the effect of taking up a significant proportion of Parliament’s time and there would be little time for pollies to think up new legislation and ways to make our lives more complicated and miserable.
Death from covid complications means death from vaccines.
95% jabbed means 95% of four fifths of fuck all times by the power of socialism carrying the five.
Looks like I’ll be in the concentration camp with 4000 doctors and nurses who are decent people and who have seen what the vaccines do.
Maybe be able to see a decent quack!
The reality is, unfortunately, if you succumb to the bullying to take the jab, you will lose all freedom forever.
As will your fellow Australians.
I believe the moral stance is to not cause misery and death of your fellow Australians by submitting to tyranny.
In submitting, what follows is on your head.
4000 doctors and nurses have been willing to lose their careers and livelihoods rather than become good little Nazis.
Be at peace with yourself and fight by not complying and insulate yourself and your loved ones as best you can.
Lose a job or lose your nation, your freedom, and all reason for existence.
In reality there are about 30% vaccinated Queenslanders.
It doesn’t jump up to 60% in one week.
Hold the line.
People think our polls are any different to those published in the US. We keep getting the two party preferred split rubbish when they are both mightily on the nose. Equally silly are the polls for the preferred prime minister when Australian politics are not presidential though that is more for the benefit of the MP to see when it’s time to ditch the head prefect.
Why is it that we and millions of ordinary Australians can see it but the media are oblivious? Is it ignorance or malice?
Repeat after me.
NSW IS NOT FREE.
It is a two tiered state where the good , compliant Nazis enjoy privileges easily granted or taken away by an undemocratic dictatorial government who , once so many people are jabbed are not mentioning rescinding the state of emergency.
Funny that.
How many of the good little Nazis here plan on showing their papers today to get privileges Australians fighting these tyrants are refused.?
Why would I be wrong in despising you?
SFW,
It can seem a little repetitive at times (because of the sheer magnitude of the evil), but it opens up again as you move through it, and there is some stuff you really shouldn’t miss.
Well worth staying to course.
My 15 year old has listened to it, and now regularly sees analogies with everyday life as we now know it. It’s mandatory reading in Russian schools, and it wouldn’t hurt our kids to plough through it either.
Make of this what you wish, but that’s more vehicles than a US Army mechanized infantry battalion which has 60 vehicles and 900 soldiers.
Shirley, this can’t be for real .. I’m not a fan of compulsory voting or waste-of-time Council elections but read on one of the news sites this morning that dum parrot-head moving the “open” day means that the un-vaxxed won’t be allowed to vote on Dec 4 ..
Can gummint, actually, decide whether someone who is registered can or can’t vote?
I dunno struth. What normal life activities aka privileges are you going to forgo today in solidarity with your NSW and Victorian comrades?
Sal sort of answered that question yesterday, rosie.
It’s a different world south of the Tweed.
Moving the date to one week before Christmas wouldn’t go down well. I wonder whether they’d fine us for not voting after being excluded from voting?
I wondered about those elections too, shatterzzz. Will they force the unvaxxed to mail vote? Or deny them the vote altogether? When the inevitable fine pops up, will they expect payment for something they themselves prevented?
Crosstie asks why so many people, including the media, cannot see the serious situation that has occurred in respect to freedoms & the persecution of the unvaccinated.
Yesterday, we visited my daughter and son-in-law for the first time in many months. It was a joyous reunion, & we had a wonderful afternoon.
He is a good man & has shown a very high sense of morality and dedication to his family and friends over the years. He is high in the corporate world in work safety.
For the life of me I could not convince him of the wrongness of the rules regarding vaccination. For him, it was about liability issues! Companies & government, he insisted must guarantee the safety of people. But, I argued, the vaccines have limited efficacy – where, ultimately, is the difference in viral loads when either is infected? He acknowledged this, but still could not abandon his conviction that the official entities were just doing their legal duty! Any other argument, for him, was not going anywhere.
This particular attitude will not apply specifically to others. But it does illustrate the commitment to a certain way of thinking that justifies the otherwise inexcusable. And, of course, there is undoubtedly a form of mass psychosis, & even Stockholm Syndrome that is occurring.
We went home thrilled that we had seen our loved ones, but deeply saddened & frustrated at what we had heard. I will argue to the point of violence over these issues with all others, but not with the ones so locked in my heart. And so it is thus.
And what do they think of us. Fondly eccentric, I think.
The police in WA have found that little girl alive and well.
Good news amongst the idiocy
Harvest trail report from the environs of Walgett.
Crops are fantastic, last paddock went 5.7t/ha APW which hits the sweet spot of nutrition / rainfall / protein.
Heavy going with a lot of green and still sappy stalks (got through 1100 lts of diesel yesterday, that’s a lot of battery recharges)
Unfortunately there’s a rainfall event (TM) kicking off tomorrow so big days are the go. And gallons of coffee.
‘According to reports from various eye-witnesses, some voting locations are turning away voters in Virginia over not wearing masks or are trying to convince others that masks must be worn at the very least.
Washington Times writer Charlie Hurt wrang the alarm bell, reporting claims from some voters that they were being troubled by people for not wearing a mask as they lined up to vote. Hurt noted in a tweet that this was indeed illegal voter suppression and reminded voters that they may vote in any polling place in Virginia, even in schools, without a mask.’
The point being, you dumb bint, I won’t be showing my papers anywhere to do anything, ever.
What I am allowed to do up here, I continue to do without showing ze papers.
I don’t comply with any of the bullshit.
The things that stop me are guns.
Guns on the borders.
You know, after all this, after you being absolutely wrong about everything , like scoffing at the very thought of vaccine passports and social credit schemes, anyone with a semblance of humility would slink away in embarrassment.
But not good Nazi Frau Notaclue.
So the companies and governments that mandate are happy to be sued for any current and future adverse issues with the clot shots.
Missed it calli.
Pleased atm because my young acquaintance who got bumped off a business class flight a few weeks ago took my advice and waited, arrived home on first flight into Melbourne on the 1st.
Saved several thousands of hard earned savings avoiding hotel quarantine.
Sorry, my last post was for a different thread, but generally relevant anyway.
Good news, Gez. The best.
Um.
Did Rowe really put a Trump-style crown on Morrison’s bonce in this morning’s ‘work’?
In other words you’re an hollow windbag telling everyone what to do from the comfort of your recliner rocker.
Incidentally I don’t have a nazi pass, but I’ll get one, eventually. Why should I maintain solidarity with people who do nothing but hurl abuse at me on a daily basis?
Yes Calli.
Now to discover the reason the man in custody took the child.
This could be complicated.
Seems by the police statement that she came to no harm.
The media is wildly speculating with “experts” but we know their skill level.
Chloe Smith story
Wonderful news for a change – little Cleo had been found safe in a house in Carnarvon.
Weren’t you going to ram the border checkpoints in your Kenworth? Or someone else’s Kenworth? I’m quite sure you said that this is what you would do. More recently, the thing that stopped you was an unelected border nuffy not letting you back into Quenthland. Well, that’s what you said.
Thank you, Sir William Wallace.
Things like the Flu have NEVER been considered a work-related infectious disease, and thus liability issues are extremely questionable.
From The Australian Compensation and Safety Council:
Work-related infectious disease
Work-related infectious disease is infectious disease that is caused or exacerbated by occupational factors.
Organisms capable of causing an infection in humans are ubiquitous in the environment. This is true for both the occupational and the non-occupational environment. Infections that may arise from workplace exposures, but that could just as easily arise from non-workplace exposures, would not usually be considered work-related infections. An example is the common cold. The likelihood of catching a cold increases with a person’s proximity to others, and so would be higher in a busy workplace than it would be if the person stayed at home on their own. However, this increased risk arises from interaction with work colleagues, rather than from some specific exposure related to work, and would be similarly increased if the person travels to or from work on public transport, or walks around the local shopping center.
If employers want to go down this path, they’ll be giving out workers compensation for people going down with the cold. It’s very short sighted of them.
Covid-19: Researcher blows the whistle on data integrity issues in Pfizer’s vaccine trial
‘Falsified Data’: Pfizer Vaccine Trial Had Major Flaws, Whistleblower Tells Peer-Reviewed Journal
https://www.zerohedge.com/covid-19/falsified-data-pfizer-vaccine-trial-had-major-flaws-whistleblower-tells-peer-reviewed
Vicki – A possible argument is HIV/AIDS. Do you exclude people with HIV because of legal liability?
Of course that would be illegal. But then if it is illegal to discriminate against people infected with HIV should it not also be illegal to discriminate against someone unvaccinated? Especially when they aren’t even infected?
None of these arguments will work against emotion, which what the elites have been tweaking into a frenzy. But at least it illustrates their hypocrisy.
I see it not just me who doesn’t click on Rowe links. Tom does a great job with the toons but I think Rowe’s cartoons are not necessary.
Wow , they found the kid.
Dot
Good luck with all. Make lots of cashola.
Dunno Crossie.
Rowe is, of course, an A Grade cockhead firmly in the Canbra bubble with a fetish for naked flabby old blokes. There are others here would rail against him, calling him a global agrarian socialist Marxist elite in the pay of Davros*, leading the long march.
I just think he’s a dickhead putting out what he thinks will be popular in his own little circle.
But it’s worthwhile having the opportunity to see his ‘work’, if only to see how some people genuinely think. Otherwise it’s like turning you head the other way and pretending there isn’t a giant spider on your pillow while you sleep.

Questions not asked of the miserable ghost at COP26.
Do you or any of your family have large investments in the renewable sector?
Will you make considerable gains in personal wealth if climate mitigation mandates are beefed up?
Malcolm’s moral crusades are usually a dollar deep.
Bruce of N – re that argument citing discrimination on the grounds of a disease, there is indeed a law ( can’t cite it at the moment) against such discrimination that is being cited in cases such as the one recently in a NSW court. But it was rejected in the decision of the court, although it is now under appeal.
Will try later to find the reference. I contributed to the crowd funding of Sydney law firm who took up the case.
Ha ha.
Turnbull said it wasn’t just a sub deal. Apparently it was a ‘sovereign partnership’.
Morrison could have thrown a crumb off the table by turfing him from the Libs quite some time ago, but no. He can’t bitch and moan now about the press pack doing what press packs do, which in this case is giving disgruntled multi-millionaires a voice.

Embrace the power of “and”. The media are both ignorant and malicious.
So sayeth the man whose two jobs (one self-employed) contribute tax dollars levied from his income and commercial transactions, to perpetuate the Queensland TyRanNy (and its Nasti passes) he so despises.
After all, as Greta demonstrates to us, no modern Moral Crusader ever need suffer any of the privations their convictions might inflict on their followers. Solidarity is a rhetorical, not practical concept…

Anyone high in the corporate world of work safety is not a good man. He’s a parasite on the productive.
As I’ve said before I do like Ramirez drawing style. His messages are sometimes a bit tepid, echoing the MSM message when it has already started to crack under its absurdity and mendacity, but the drawing style is good.
But I really like Margolis too. Just the right amount of detail with a clear focus on the action (compared to Rowe who fills the entire panel most of which is just meaningless detail – unless he crams in one of his long overdone ancient references). The drawings have 3-D solidity and physical weight and movement.
He is beginning to nudge past even Ramirez.
Now here’s a Dan I CAN stand with.
