How can there be a covid alert when they are all vaccinated?

Maybe they are alerting the virus. Sure the covid virus is nasty, but some things you wouldn’t wish on anything living or even on the cusp of life.

If this is true then wouldn’t every contract with Pfizer be vitiated on that perfidy? And shouldn’t the veterinarian in charge of Pfizer be cattle-prodded into a gaol cell for crimes against humanity?

The real problem is who will hold them to account. They no longer even try to pretend to probity. They just do whatever they want and rub our noses in it.

So who did you plagiarise the quote from, JC?

Hallward, you have nothing else to come back with other than cheap smears and defamatory accusations. The passage explaining why Karl Denninger is a piece of trash is in quotes. You lowrent dirtbag. In quote format means I am not the author. If you really want to know who wrote it I suggest the following Google search , which is what I used.

Karl Denninger is a dishonest Douchbag.

I didn’t say the clot shot CAUSES cancer.

Yes you did you dishonest c..t. Here’s the quote.

This is exactly what Karl Denninger has been saying at http://www.market-ticker.org for months.
Not only are the “vaccines” ineffective after a short time they screw your natural immunity to variants of the virus and possibly ANYTHING ELSE, including cancer. The next few years will be “interesting”.

The funny part is that Hallward Hughes is relying on Karl Denninger for advice on medical science.

The other funny part is that ” including cancer” doesn’t mean the claim of getting cancer in a dew years as a result of the vax. It really means people will develop hooves and hairy tails. What Queensland loser.

By inhibiting your immune system the cancers which naturally occur in the human body quite often, probably only a few cells at a time , may not be eliminated in time.

If we need medical advice, we should now go to Professor Karl Denninger.

Now look at the Dr Ryan Cole video, or even, spend some time at http://www.market-ticker.org and find out what Denninger ACTUALLY says, which you don’t appear to have done.

Why? For what purpose? So as to waste my time to see who’s causing your hallucinations? Yea naaa.

You are arguing from a position of ignorance as usual and degrading the signal to noise ratio of the blog.

Hallward, get off you rocking horse, you mentally sick individual.
1. You started stoush trolling last evening
2. You slander me with a lowrent smear.
3. You post links to stupid sites with ethically questionable dickheads
4. You propose I get banned.

If it were up to me you’d be arsekicked so hard off the site my boot would be gaping out of your mouth, you piece of dishonest low information QLD whitetrash. Fuck off and don’t ever try grovelling to me again like you have in the past. I think you’re a piece of shit and nothing will ever change my mind.

Germany to follow Austria’s lockdown apartheid: Berlin considers new Covid restrictions for 14million unvaccinated citizens after Vienna banned those without jabs from leaving their homes

Can’t use public transport and can’t go to work. Exactly how are they supposed to exist? Not that they care.

I found this bit particularly interesting –

In Germany, the former Communist east remains a bastion of support for the far-right AfD, vaccination sceptics. Half of all unvaccinated people voted for the party in the September general election, according to a poll by Forsa.

On a better more pleasant note. Wifey’s sis was rifling through an old suitcase containing some of their dad’s belongings (he’s been dead for just around a decade) and found some old pics taken when he was in the military during WW2. Presumably Palestine (then) was a staging post for Australian personnel as they made their way further up the Med, which he did by ending up in North Africa.

Anyways she found a photo that he’d taken in Tel Aviv and on the back he captioned it with
“this is the most modern city I’ve ever been in”. He hadn’t been to many cities I’d guess as he was a country boy from Northern Victoria. The pic is truly amazing and it just shows just how industrious the diaspora was in a short time. I’ll ask Dover to post it above the site if possible. Tel Aviv perhaps in 1942 /43.

Groundhog Guy finds his spine…

“Guy condemns violent protests, hits out at double standards
Rachel Baxendale

Victorian Opposition Leader Matthew Guy has condemned protesters who have threatened violence against Daniel Andrews in recent days, but also accused Labor and crossbench MPs of a double standard when it comes to protesters from their side of politics.

Mr Guy reiterated his condemnation on Tuesday of protesters who have used nooses and gallows as props and made threats against the Premier as they demonstrate against the government’s controversial pandemic legislation.

“People who have different points of view in this state should put those points of view respectfully and sensibly. There is no place for extremism of any kind,” Mr Guy said on Wednesday.
“Some of the images we’ve seen in the steps of parliament, I for the second day will say I absolutely condemn those, and I don’t support them in any way. I can’t be any more clear in my language on that.”

However, Mr Guy defended some of his MPs who have addressed the protesters, saying not everyone demonstrating against the bill “is committing the same silly things”.

“The majority are not. It’s like a union demonstration, or when unionists turned up at the front of (former Premier) Jeff Kennett’s house. You didn’t blame everyone in the Labor Party for that,” Mr Guy said.

Mr Guy suggested the same questions that were being asked of the Coalition should have been asked of Animal Justice Party MP Andy Meddick, in light of farm invasions enacted by members of his party, and the Greens, when federal leader Adam Bandt attended a 2014 rally at which students burnt effigies of then education minister Christopher Pyne.

“These people come and lecture the rest of us about bad conduct. I’m sorry.

When demonstrations are out of hand, whether it’s left wing or right wing, who you choose to blame for it should be the people doing it, and I don’t in a moment condone any of that kind of behaviour, particularly any kind of threats of violence. It’s wrong, and it should be condemned,” he said.”

I note that articles like this make a big deal about the ‘gallows’ at the protest but don’t show a picture of them. Could it be that they are a just a small, obvious mock up.

I also note that they refer to neo-Nazis but don’t show pictures of them either. Could it be that the Nazis are all back in their garages and not at the protest?

Calli, recently a study in the USA found that the most “vaccine hesitant” were in two demographics: 1) PhDs
& 2) those with a very basic education – i.e. no college degrees

I quoted this study in a published letter to “The Australian” a few weeks ago & speculated that while PhDs are “compulsive researchers”, while those with a basic education nevertheless “excel in detecting incongruities” (i.e. have great bullshit detectors).

I have not got a letter published since………

The real anti-vaxxer cohort always seemed to me people of the left. Not dogmatic left, but attracted to the warm fuzziness of the messages they put out – where everyone can have what they want or need, our problems are caused by capitalist greed, the ‘Magic Happens’ lot. They believe in auras, chakras, telepathy, reincarnation, spirit and God but not religion, and that modern medicine is corrupting and corrosive – pills are bad (m’kay) and vaccines an invisible but near demonic perversion of nature.

At present anti-vaxxers are being portrayed as right-wing. Of course, what is now being called ‘anti-vaxxer’ is a reluctance to take these particular vaccines (for whatever reason) or a distrust of the politics upon which they are borne, despite not having a problem with vaccines otherwise.

I wonder how the real anti-vaxxers feel suddenly finding themselves lumped in with right wingers?

Their quarry – the unvaccinated – enraged and scandalised Innoculated Immortals because they – and they alone – were spreading the virus. After that rumour died the slow death of a Fauci beagle, the unvaxxed were instead chided for delaying freedom. But as governments realised the vaccines were wearing off faster than one of Annastacia Palaszczuk’s marriages, the VC Days they promoted were scaled back almost as soon as the first print-run of Mission Accomplished posters was ready. Until the inevitable booster mandates start drawing many of the hitherto compliant away from the mob and hospitalisations start rising again, the un-syringed will be a handy minority to blame for one vicissitude or another on the road to winter.

Just looking at Dr. Fleming’s presentation (previously linked). He compares the various vaccines and confirms, as have many other doctors now, that the spike protein is the toxin. He confirms that Novavax does not inject mRNA to make spike proteins, it makes them externally in a moth and then injects them into people. So one way or another, you are being bombarded by spike proteins, at a level far above what the virus itself produces. The part about prions I don’t quite follow but they effect the brain and produce mad cow disease and Alzheimer’s.

I’d be very interested to hear any comments on this presentation by anyone with some medical background.

So, in 2017 when Andrew Bolt was casually walking to a book launch and he was physically set upon and attacked by Antifa scum . I don’t recall any condemnation from Daniel Andrews and in fact many progressive on social media sewers and in the MSM laughed.

So, in 2017 when Milo Yiannopoulos toured and appeared in Melbourne, hundreds of far-left progressive scum turned up to try and shut down the event and these same protesters harassed and threatened ordinary Victorians from getting into the venue. I don’t recall any condemnation from Daniel Andrews and in fact many progressives on social media sewers and in the MSM laughed.

So, in 2018 when Lauren Southern and Stefan Molyneux toured and appeared in Melbourne, hundreds of far-left progressive scum turned up to try and shut down the event and these same protesters blocked the Hume Highway for two hours to prevent the audience from attending. These far-left protesters also assaulted police, threw rocks, grappled some audience members and invaded the venue. One screaming woman nearly reached Southern before being grabbed by private security. I don’t recall any condemnation from Daniel Andrews and in fact many progressives on social media sewers and in the MSM laughed.

And the above is just a smidgen. IPA functions have been protested, right to life marches in Melbourne have attacked. I don’t recall any condemnation from Daniel Andrews.

So spare me the sanctimonious indignation from Andrews and the hypocritical MSM scum about a noose at a protest. There’s far worse at any far-left protest…particularly anything that involves “Palestine”….and I’ve never heard Andrews, his Labor party comrades, the Greens, the ferals that inhabit social media and the MSM scum condemn any of that.

All of this confected outrage is a deliberate ploy to smear, intimidate and silence ordinary Australians. It is high time to tell the progressive left, Andrews, Labor, the Greens, the social media ferals and the MSM to get fucked.

I like John…but he’s a wimp. I note that he refused to assist Bettina Arndt last year when she was being lynched. He and the IPA refused to support her (I know this for a fact), Bettina received assistance from the UK’s Free Speech Union, not from Australia’s IPA.

I bet the gov would like to not have that feature available to you and as such nearly all traffic will be reduced to the speed of the slowest vehicle, especially on single lane roads.

I am on open roads a bit, this sums it up IMO. Have you seen some of the so called improvements they are making? One I saw was the Kamilaroi Hwy just shy of Narribri, a slab of straight section of perfectly good overtaking length is now double white lines with the obligatory motorcycle killers installed down the side. It goes for Km’s and if stuck behind grandpa in his rusty 1995 Triton trayback trundling into town well there is no legal way of passing even though it is perfectly safe sans oncoming traffic. Seems to be happening everywhere on single lane roads and not in “black spots”.

Also touches on your post, what is the lowering of truck limiters to 90km/h achieving? Came across this frustration on Newell Hwy a while back. I was at the end of the line, some of who made risky moves to pass. A road train fuel or B double is going to have the same catastrophic consequence at 90 let along 100km/h. I saw the aftermath once on the southern entrance to Alice Springs of a fuel carter once, melted the bridge rails! The idea has all the appearances of safety reps in a pissing comp.

Just looking at Dr. Fleming’s presentation (previously linked). He compares the various vaccines and confirms, as have many other doctors now, that the spike protein is the toxin. He confirms that Novavax does not inject mRNA to make spike proteins, it makes them externally in a moth and then injects them into people. So one way or another, you are being bombarded by spike proteins, at a level far above what the virus itself produces. The part about prions I don’t quite follow but they effect the brain and produce mad cow disease and Alzheimer’s.

Private Eye [Old Muckspreader] was the first to advance the Prions as a cause of MCD.
The theory goes something like this:
Prions cause Scrapie in Sheep.
Sheep suffering or dead from Scrapie were rendered into Blood and Bone, which was being fed to feedlotted Beef and Dairy Cattle as a supplement.
The temperatures of the rendering process aren’t high enough to destroy the Prion, therefore it ends up in the brain of cattle that have eaten it and…Voila, Mad Cow Disease.
Complete garbage, though plausible.
One good thing that was supposed to come out of it was a ban on feeding blood and bone to cattle, though I doubt it ever came to pass.

When the Church Stopped Believing Their Own Message

Religion offers something that enlightenment thinking, secular worldviews and naturalist understandings can not. Life and hope after death.

For example – Christianity – which makes particularly ‘salty’ claims and promises about sickness, ‘the name of Jesus’, healing and blood covenants.

Sometimes by word but more often by action, Christian churches have abandoned their beliefs in the face of a mild pandemic (relative to other historical pandemics).

Christianity also makes a claim of ‘Welcome Home’, a sentiment of acceptance of all (regardless of health, wealth, status or life choices). This sentiment is also strongly practised by other religions such as Sikhism.

Again, many Christian churches have abandoned this principle under pressure from secular governments and from their own parishioners (to whom they have obviously failed to teach fundamental beliefs of Christianity, or what they would call ‘disciple’).

Most of society would endorse the ‘wisdom’ of churches deferring to government mandates to ‘keep us all safe’ but it raises the question – what are the point of Christian churches?

Are they merely a place to fellowship with like-minded people? Are they a place to be entertained? Are they a place to sear a guilty conscience? Or are they what they are now becoming – a place to confess boldly but act cowardly?

An institution that was called to be ‘salty’ (different, distinctive, effective, set apart) is losing its ‘saltiness’. Why subscribe to the teachings, beliefs and actions of the Christian church if there is a vanishing difference between them and the secular world?

No, many are abandoning the lukewarm and the unsalty salt merchants.

If you’re going to bother making some ridiculously bold claim like ‘there is no other name above the name of Jesus’ but then give every other name primacy (‘safety’, ‘duty of care’, ‘Covid-19’, ‘keep the peace’, ‘what choice do we have?’) then you are a hypocrite, and your relevance will become irrelevance in good order.

I am proud of those who are holding firm to their convictions (check out the Sikh community) and I am saddened that I am getting a much warmer welcome by strip clubs (in my search for interview guests) than many churches.

Surely it’s time for a reformation.

If You Read It In The Mainstream Media, It’s Wrong — Plastics Edition

LCA analyses are done by government agencies in the US, Canada, UK, Australia and Denmark. They all agree that the single-use polyethylene bags we use today have much lower environmental impact than potential replacements such as bioplastics, paper, unbleached paper, cotton or organic cotton. . . . To replace plastic bags with paper bags requires 2.7x more energy, 1.6x more carbon dioxide emissions and 17x more water usage. It has also been estimated that replacing the plastic bags in the EU would require cutting down an astonishing 2.2 million more trees per year and require 60 000 Olympic swimming pools more water.

I was surprised to find that our traditional PE and PP bags are far greener than the alternatives that are being thrust upon us. That means that the bans being implemented are actually harming our environment. . . .

I’m shocked. Not.

Here’s the best part about prions, Grigory (and those Cats who didn’t scroll):

Prion proteins exist naturally, being present in all living mammalian cells, and in their normal form are easily denaturable.

The prion associated with neurdegenerative diseases of anikals and humans is a misfolded variant of the protein that would be otherwise utterly unremarkable but for its particular isoform. Pathogenic prions are structurally very stable and tend to aggregate with each other to form amyloids, which provokes ineffective inflammatory responses and subsequent tissue damage. This is how they cause neural tissue degeneratiom. They are highly resistant to pretty much everything but high-temperature incineration. The natural proteases and other enzymes living creatures produce cannot denature them and most identified chemical denaturing agents and even cooking techniques have no effect.

Here is my source and jumping-off point for further, detailed research:

Hot Button Sutton hasn’t been in the news lately.

Oh wait (the Hun):

A Commonwealth public servant who put together a “completely inadequate” replacement workforce for doomed St Basil’s warned the Victorian health department never to repeat the “frankly dangerous” decision again.

At an inquest into the deaths of 50 residents, Neil Callagher questioned why Chief health officer Brett Sutton made the dire call to stand down all St Basil’s workers, deemed Covid-19 close contacts, and replace them with agency staff on July 22, 2020.

The decision, described by “very impassioned” doctors as “shocking”, led to the severe malnutrition of residents – 50 of whom died in the coronavirus outbreak in July and August last year.

And:

Mr Callagher said he “failed to understand” how Prof Sutton did not put more weight on the desperate pleas of doctors against the staff stand down plan.

But Prof Sutton did not attend the meetings where doctors said it was a “shocking idea” and “general care is the problem, not Covid”.

“In the face of that sort of evidence, I don’t know that I could have taken the decision that was made,” Mr Callagher said.

If 50 people hadn’t died because of Sutton’s recidivist idiocy, this would be hugely entertaining.

Fish paste was a thing in the Anger household for many years when I was a small tantrum. Though we may have gone off it in latter years due to the salt content. We still hit the Vegemite pretty hard at times, though.

Vegemite makes a superb seasoning for a fried egg, on hot and freshly buttered toast. Melty cheese optional. 🙂

Don’t trust Somyurek. He is easily swayed and only has HIS best interests in mind.

Right now Gab, I’d think that we would all happily take petty revenge and political eyepoking over principle.

As Maxim 29 of the 70 Maxims of Maximally Effective Mercenaries declares, “The enemy of my enemy is my enemy’s enemy. No more. No less.”

Freedom-loving Victorians need not adopt him as a figurehead, but should take full advantage of and celebrate his counter-skullduggery.

Anything can happen, but there is one good thing about disaffected ALP, they hold a grudge and ratfuck the guys that shafted them earlier when if the chance arises. Conservatives should take note.

Somyurek: Using his hate and bile in the cause of good! Have no doubt that this has anything to do with principle.

Australia Day date debated in WA parliament but party leader fails to get support to change
Angie RaphaelNCA NewsWire
Wed, 17 November 2021 4:53PM

An upper house MP has failed in his bid to get his West Australian colleagues on-board to support changing the date of Australia Day.

Daylight Saving Party leader Wilson Tucker raised the issue in parliament on Wednesday, calling on Premier Mark McGowan to ask the federal government for a formal date change from January 26.

While the motion was supported by the Greens and Legalise Cannabis MPs, it had no backing from Labor, the Liberals or the Nationals.

In his motion, Mr Tucker asked the house to recognise that “Australians deserve a national holiday around which we can all rally and celebrate our positive achievements and experiences to date”.

He further urged MPs to acknowledge that January 26 was not an appropriate date because for many indigenous Australians it marked the beginning of a period of immense loss and trauma at the hands of European settlers.

“As Australia becomes more multicultural, issues of identity and belonging are becoming more important, and governments can’t afford to ignore them,” he said.

Mr Tucker called on his colleagues to express support for a change to the date of Australia Day and for the Premier to request that the Commonwealth make the change.

This specimen was elected to the Western Australian Upper House, with just over ninety first preferences……

I’m starting to conclude that each and every one of these “vaccines” is complete BS.

There is probably a good reason they couldn’t make one against any coronavirus for 60+ years.

I’m at a loss as to how the situation in NSW is evidence that vaccines are bad.
Neither Victoria or NSW have experienced anything the hospitalisation and death rates of similar sized populations in other parts of the world, where covid has circulated broadly in the community.
Seems to me vaccines, for all their weaknesses (waning effectiveness over time, not as effective against delta) are in fact preventing many people from getting serious complications from covid.

As for the highly speculative hospitals full of vaccine injury claims, we’ll see.
There was a time when the cat consensus about 10,000 compensation claims would have been at least some of those were from spivs and chancers but not any more, all 100 percent fair dinkum and eagerly seized on as ‘see I was right all along!’
“Both the Pfizer (Comirnaty) and the AstraZeneca (Vaxzevria) vaccines require the full 2-dose course for the best immune response. Individuals may not have the best protection until 7–14 days after their second dose of the vaccine. Find out more below.”

Italian Government:
Revises Covid Death Toll down from 130,000 to 3,000.
People that were dying with covid had been counted as dying of covid.
Once the problem of False Positives is admitted, that figure will be re-revised down to-not much at vall.
Meanwhilea Billion people have been injected with an experimental drug.
If even one of them is injured it’s Unlawful Wounding and if one dies it’s Murder, isn’t it?
You do concede that at least one person has died from a Covid Vaccine, don’t you?

Look at how appalling Sutton’s judgement was above and yet he has lorded it over us as our Health Czar since March 2020.

July 2020 was also when he refused to transfer some infected nursing home residents to hospitals, therefore causing exactly the same horrific outcome as we saw in New York. And now we see he also dumped the staff at the nursing home so that the residents were poorly cared for just as the virus was spreading?

Families call for virus-hit nursing home to be shut down (27 Jul 2020, The Age)

Victorian Chief Health Officer Brett Sutton said he did not believe routinely moving all nursing home residents into hospitals to protect them from outbreaks was feasible, nor was it always the safest option.

“There’ll be circumstances where residents are looked after right where they are,” Professor Sutton said.

He and Dan should be prosecuted for this.

It’s like arguing that pedestrian deaths from being hit by Motor Vehicles while crossing the road is a small price to pay for having roads, cars and an efficient transport system..
Which is sort of true.
I don’t recall anyone who was run over being described as a Spiv or a Chancer though.

I’m at a loss as to how the situation in NSW is evidence that vaccines are bad.

There is plenty of evidence I have found in peer reviewed literature which shows:

The currently available vaccines –

*Lead to pericarditis
*Lead to capillary damage
*Lead to acute anaphylaxis
*Have efficacy that falls significantly in less than one year
*Lead to blood clots

I have seen nothing like that for Novavax.

I have seen the following claims for Novavax:

No deaths from COVID in the vaccinated cohorts.
97% of those exposed to Coronavirus either had no infection or were asymptomatic.
A safety profile like that of the flu vaccine.
Similar, safe and well established tech. like the hepatitis B vaccine, for example.

Happy to be proven wrong either way.

If Adem Somyurek is true to his word and votes against the Dictator’s Pandemic Bill, then he will, effectively, be the MP who saved Victoria (for the time being!) I think that is how Somyurek would like to be remembered, notwithstanding his alleged openness during the IBAC hearings.

White roofs will save us!

NSW government should plant more trees instead of ‘banning’ dark roofs (18 Nov)

I’ve noticed lately how there are all these very black panels on everyone’s roofs these days. Something to do with saving the world. I wonder if the 80% of energy they do not convert into electricity is converted to something else? We should ask Matt Kean about this mystery.

“Rob Stokes said dark roofing will be discontinued…”

How clever. And after a while, when all the pale roof material gets covered with a layer of sooty mould (from eucalypts), lichens and other organic materials and turns a few shades darker, is he going to pay for the unsightly and useless mess to be cleaned?
