Perhaps Victorians protested their way into slightly better terms of ‘freedom’ today.

The socially autistic dictator has been told by his slightly less disabled advisors that the protester demonisation plan has not worked as well as hoped and the great unwashed really don’t like him much.
Add the real risk of Somyurek being branded a hero of the people has forced the hand of the cult leadership team.

Of course. And their safety includes not having their feelings hurt.

All that’s happened in the past two years is that:

a) Our politicians have worked out they can use media fear and hysteria to win elections.

b) Our power-hungry state and federal public services have worked out they can acquire even more power if they accommodate politicians’ desire to win elections with public health orders that have little to do with public health and everything to do with forcing public compliance with the fascist wet dreams of the government health Nazi industrial complex.

Until politicians pay a price at the ballot box for scaring the shit out of people over what amounts to the latest version of the flu, it will keep happening.

Is submitting to a novel medical therapy now a “civic duty” alongside paying taxes and obeying the law? When did we have an informed discussion on this?

Where does one draw the line on the right of people to safety? Because a line has to be drawn, else life itself, with all its attendant risks, would come to a standstill.

I don’t believe anybody is claiming “absolute freedom” on this matter, but a freedom relative to and justified by the low risk to themselves and others associated with remaining unvaccinated. So to accuse others of wanting “absolute freedom” simply because they choose not to receive a novel medical therapy is a straw man argument.

No biggie, sounds like a typical Demonrat voter.

Rosenbaum, 36, had spent years of his life in prison because he was a convicted sex offender. The morning he was killed, Rosenbaum was released from a Milwaukee hospital where he had been admitted after a suicide attempt. Ryan Balch, another witness for the prosecution, testified that Rosenbaum threatened both Balch and Rittenhouse saying, “If I catch you guys alone tonight, I’m gonna fucking kill you.”

Another bit of truth to throw into the face of the people claiming vaccines are harmless: The vaccine compensation scheme demands that you spend time in hospital as a basis for a claim.

https://www.health.gov.au/initiatives-and-programs/covid-19-vaccine-claims-scheme

After a week or so of release where its existence has been spread mostly by word of mouth, there are already more than 10K proposed claimants.

Cohenite:

If Rittenhouse is convicted I want civil war to break out in the US.

I doubt too many want that to happen, but you are right in the context of dealing with the destruction of the Great Experiment in the US.
Unfortunately a partition of the US is becoming necessary.
The people who think socialism and the subjection of the individual for the greater good, is an achievable goal and have shown themselves to be unable to understand and apply the copious lessons from history at the cost of millions of lives, incalculable grief, and poverty.
If there is one certainty in life, it will be that the Socialist camp in the US will be the most effective at supplying fertiliser for the Tree of Liberty.

Independent journalists Andy Ngo and Erin Smith know a thing or two about how Antifa operates and particularly how it recruits, both have said that Antifa preys on types like Rosenbaum….blue cities are full of such scum.

Also, Ngo says that when Antifa say they’re gonna come after you and kill you, whilst they may not succeed, they’ll certainly try. It’s extremely dangerous to think that they’re just soy boys and girls, they’re not, they’re are armed and very, very dangerous.

If Rittenhouse is acquitted, he needs to leave the area….and go and reside in a very red area of a very red state.

Rabz, even worse than Morrison’s eleventh hour selective intervention, I guess, is in this article , Palazwhatever rebuffs him, then goes on to celebrate that ‘schoolies’ week is going right on ahead.

So a week or two before unvaccinated people are banned from everything, the situation is so grave, such an emergency, that a hedonistic degenerate state-sanctioned party of largely unvaccinated teenagers is going ahead, hooray guys!

Then a week after they’ll all be banned from doing that because.

Meanwhile, Ms Palaszczuk has confirmed Queensland’s Schoolies Week celebrations on the Gold Coast will be able to go ahead after a COVID-19 cluster detected in the city last week was “sufficiently contained”.

The Premier said last week the annual festival for school-leavers, which is scheduled to begin on Friday, was at risk but was now “good to go”.

“I know that this will be good news to the 53,000 Queensland teenagers who are finishing their school days and many of them will be heading off to schoolies celebrations across our great state,” Ms Palaszczuk told state parliament this morning.

Vs

Queensland Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk last week announced restrictions for unvaccinated people from December 17, or whenever the state’s vaccination of people aged 16 and over hits 80 per cent.

Under the new rules, only fully vaccinated people will be able to attend pubs, clubs, cafes, restaurants, cinemas, theatres, music festivals and stadiums, where all staff also need to have had two doses of a COVID-19 vaccine.

Obviously Morrison’s gotten the internal polling: QLD swing seats that delivered the last election are going to preference PHON and UAP in large enough numbers that they may actually deliver seats to one or the other, or at a minimum crush the Liberals.

His retarded attempt to veer left with “Net Zero” and appeal to the Victorians instead was met alongside the protests last weekend which perhaps scared the shit out of everyone that Victorians are just as cranky and ready to take a baseball bat to whoever they can get to first.

Liberals fags:
1. Scott Morrison must aggressively prosecute the case against a concept of selective / collective punishment and ‘lock outs’ in this country. Either there is an ’emergency’ or there is not. 80+% ‘vaccinated’ and some ‘cases’ does not an emergency make. Not fakely, not feebly. They must be critisised as Chinese style authoritarianism from China curious premiers from here unto the election.
2. Scott Morrison must aggressively defend the Commonwealth and order the border controls to be abolished. Either this is Australia or it’s not, end of story. And if it’s not, then there is not point in having a “PM” Scott Morrison either…

The concept of internal movement was settled in this country 120 years ago, it was to be one people, one nation, one continent and free movement within.

And so it was. For over a century.

They argued and battled and the people settled on it. That these hollow men in the Federal parliament, for this brief moment that they are there, couldn’t even put up a defence of their very own administrative state’s reason for existing is just so telling.

One thing I know is many covid-karen lite boomers around here, are also white hot about Morrison allowing the abolition of Australia (mostly because it interferes with their 30 year traveling holiday – but you take what you get).

So, in the light of the Melbourne protest last Saturday, Labor are expertly goading Scumbag Morrison about “far-right” and “neo-Nazis” all because a handful of protesters among thousands and thousands displayed a noose and a guillotine. Labor and the Greens know they’re on a winner here, because they know Scumbag Morrison to be a completely spineless, craven, supine and very despicable lightweight who’ll readily jump on a bandwagon to dump his own so he can fellate the left. It worked a treat for the left back in February when they goaded Scumbag Morrison about Craig Kelly and so he sided with the left and dumped on Kelly and it worked a treat for the left in August when they goaded Scumbag Morrison and so he sided with the left and dumped on George Christensen.

Perhaps Morro could also use the opportunity to denounce Rittenhouse as a white supremacist – drawing on his unerring gift for erring in his reading of current events.

“Fear for the safety of elected leaders has been heightened since British Conservative MP Sir David Amess was stabbed to death during a constituent meeting last month.”

Max Igan pondered this issue earlier this week, at the 13 minute mark, when he asks why the police escorted Dan Andrews and Brett Sutton out of Melbourne’s Parliament House in the presence of protestors. They were brought out down the front stairs even though they have private and secure entry and exits away from public view.

They wanted media coverage of the verbal abuse these individuals received to develop the narrative of dangerous right wing protestors from whom our “leaders” need extra protection.

We can expect our “leaders” to withdraw more from public interfacing for their protection, locally Mark McGowan has announced that he’s closing his electoral office in Rockingham due to his staff being abused, other states and territories will probably follow suit.

Pierre Kory. THIS is a guy dissing Pierre Kory.

Says in that diatribe that getting 2 doses of the vaccine is cheaper than the ivermectin protocol. This was obviously before the efficacy of the vaccines collapsed and a booster is likely required every 6 months.

Kory had never said that his protocol was 100% effective in preventing Covid. Various studies had shown upwards of 80% effectiveness in both prevention and reducing illness. Those figures are spectacular when compared to the vaccines.

Kory did indeed contract the virus but also noted he recovered in a couple of days with little discomfort – all consistent with his claims about the treatment. He also publicly stated issues with the delta variant and the necessity to revise the treatment in the face of the new danger. All the while, the official course of action from the authorities was for the infected to isolate and seek hospital treatment when their condition deteriorated. No meaningful treatment until then at all. As time goes on it is increasingly evident that the vaccine is much less effective against the delta variant and most likely other variants as well.

Ivermectin was attacked because governments thought it would result in vaccine hesitancy if people thought it was effective. As it turns out it is as effective or even more effective than the vaccines they tout.

The average age of Covid fatalities in Australia is 85. Since the pandemic began, the COVID fatality rate for Australians under 50 is four in 12,000. Sixty-six per cent of COVID deaths have been in nursing homes. Seventy-three per cent of COVID deaths involved pre-existing chronic health conditions, and a higher number involved non-chronic but somewhat serious health complications. ”

They wanted media coverage of the verbal abuse these individuals received to develop the narrative of dangerous right wing protestors from whom our “leaders” need extra protection.

The non stop 24/7 propaganda / narrative of everyone conservative/white/unvaccinated is a right wing terrorist is driving the moronic left to ever increasing acts of violence. I saw this from US… it’s disgusting that a) the black vagina owners think it’s OK to behave this way; b) no one defends the (asian) girl when they let lose.

Gillick Competence – Consent for minors.

Is this new, or am I just a bit slow? Queensland Health has amended various surgical consent forms, and on one of them (Endovascular Thrombectomy and/or Thrombolysis for Acute Ischaemic Throat Consent) I noticed the following, but I’m unsure if it is a new addition, or has been there for some time:

Although the patient is a child/ young person, the patient may be capable of giving informed consent and having sufficient maturity, understanding and intelligence to enable them to fully understand the nature, consequences and risks of the proposed procedure/treatment/investigation/examination and the consequences of non-treatment – ‘Gillick Competence’ (Gillick v West Norfolk and Wisbech Area Health Authority (1986) AC112).

Service NSW is planning to introduce face verification technology across its digital channels, as the one-stop shop for government services looks to make it easier for customers to prove their identity and stamp out fraud.

The agency today went looking for liveness detection and facial matching software, while revealing longer-term plans for “trusted, decentralised credentials in a personalised digital wallet”.

The software will allow Service NSW users to create a “strong identity”, otherwise known as identity proofing level three (IP3), by matching a live photo against an on-file identification photo.

Vegan activist Tash Peterson sued for defamation by veterinary clinic
Tim Clarke
The West Australian
Thu, 18 November 2021 12:06PM

Notorious vegan activist Tash Peterson is being sued by the owners of a veterinary clinic, who claim they have been brought into “hatred, contempt and ridicule” by one of her video stunts.

With her online presence — and OnlyFans account — Ms Peterson has become on the country’s most outspoken vegan agitators, regularly posting videos of protests at farms, food outlets, shops and on the street.

On September 24 this year, Ms Peterson along with her boyfriend Jack Higgs paid a visit to the Bicton Vet Clinic, owned by Kay McIntosh and her husband Andrew.

In the video, which is still online, Ms Peterson can be seen questioning the vet’s staff about the “animal slavery” being advertised — referring to birds in cages stationed outside the door.

After arguing with staff, Ms Peterson later posted that she had been issued with a barring notice from the Bicton property.

“Animals should not be forcibly bred into existence and used for human pleasure,” she wrote about the visit.

“Birds should not be bred to spend their entire lives in enslavement living in a cage. Seeing birds in a cage is so normalised, many find it difficult to see how immoral it is.

“Imagine if there were dogs instead of those birds; living just about their entire lives in a cage. I am sure most would be outraged then. There is no moral difference, it is slavery.”

This is the POS who claims to earn $40,000 a month selling photos of her bare ar$e on the net – I hope the Australian Taxation Office is on her case.

They often wore a wicked sneer, with jagged teeth laid inside their distended, shrieking maws

Vic ALP selection process anyone?

The process could take as little as a few hours or as long as a day to complete and began somewhat innocuously as the victim lost all hair. Afterwards, the victim’s head began to resemble a vargouille more with each passing hour, teeth sharpening into fangs, tentacles sprouting from the scalp and chin, horns appearing on the top of the head, and ears becoming pointed and slowly developing into large wings. From then on, possibly before, the victim’s intellect and personality would degrade, until finally the bestial mind of the former individual ripped itself away from its body and began to drink from the resulting carnage

frollicking mole, to answer your earlier question:

https://www.freedomsphoenix.com/Uploads/129/Media/Unintended_Consequences.pdf

Fun read, especially if you like guns and aeroplanes and dislike fascist governments.

Here’s the beginning:
It was late afternoon when he finally heard them coming to kill him. The wind was blowing gently towards
him, and it carried the sound well. Two choppers, he judged from the pitch of the engines, possibly three.
Henry realized that his first emotion upon hearing the sound of rotor blades approaching was an
overwhelming sense of relief. The waiting was over.
His next thought concerned the relatives of the men that were about to die. The widows will never
understand that their husbands died because the government got a little too heavy-handed after June of
1968. He scanned the sky until he spotted the aircraft approaching from the north.
That isn’t quite right. The Kennedy and King killings weren’t the first links in the chain that dragged us
here. No, the death sentence was handed down before World War II. Henry settled in behind the big
Solothurn and checked his field of view through the weapon’s optical sight. The gleaming example of Swiss
craftsmanship had been manufactured in 1939. The irony was not lost on Henry Bowman.
In March of that year, the U.S. Supreme Court had heard a case involving a moonshiner who had been
arrested in 1938. A Federal District Court had thrown out the charges as being unconstitutional, and the
government had appealed. At the hearing, something very unusual had happened. Neither the moonshiner
nor his lawyer had seen fit to appear before the Court to argue the case. They didn’t even bother to file a
brief on the moonshiner’s behalf. The Court ruled for the government, judicial precedent was set, and the
issue was never again heard by the Supreme Court. The 1939 ruling became the foundation on which many
additional laws were constructed.
Supreme Court’s been ducking that issue ever since Henry thought as he strained to hear a change in the
approaching noise. Well, guys, the tide has turned. It’s time you thugs had a little history lesson. I don’t
suppose you’re familiar with what happened in the Warsaw Ghetto in 1943. A small smile appeared on his
lips, as Henry remembered something. It’s just like the story Uncle Max told me when I was a kid. About
Billy Dell, pulling a Paul Bunyan.
Henry Bowman’s right hand tightened around the walnut grip of the Solothurn S18-1000. The weapon had
been a present from his father, given to him on his fourteenth birthday in 1967. Cost $189.50 back in the
sixties Henry thought irrelevantly. / thought that was a steal. Dad’s friends thought it was astronomical.
Wonder what they’d think now.

Lets play spot the confection in this “sharticle” from their ABCcess.
https://www.abc.net.au/news/2021-11-18/wa-school-students-threatened-by-anti-vaxxers/100630308
Education Minister Sue Ellery said she had heard reports of “extremist” behaviour at a Perth school.

“There was an incident yesterday at metropolitan school where there was a protester out the front engaged in a conversation with a student, it’s alleged, and as part of that conversation the protester said words to the effect of ‘well I might as well shoot you now’,” Ms Ellery said.

..
“Holding a peaceful protest is one thing, intimidating and threatening children is really pathetic, it’s gutless.”

But this thug is just fine with threatening to ruin their parents through forcing them to have a medical treatment or face ruin.
Also fine with “if you dont get vaxed no schoolies for you”..

..

AMA gaping for government, do me harder daddy they cry..
Australian Medical Association WA president Mark Duncan-Smith urged the government to introduce safe zones around schools and vaccination clinics.
“It needs to be very clear to these people that their behaviour, their intimidation, their use of fear and threatening will not be tolerated by our society, especially when they apply it to our young and vulnerable,” he said.

“The people that we’re meant to be protecting most of all are our children.

Except for the boys who develop heart problems from the vaccine for a disease they are functionally immune from already.
….

WA Premier Mark McGowan slammed the behaviour of anti-vaccination protesters who had targeted students getting their COVID-19 vaccinations.

“It’s deranged, it’s outrageous, it’s selfish,” he said.

“Harassing kids at their schools or in shopping centres is not the Australian way.

“This kind of conduct is verging on urban terrorism.”

Whereas locking down a state till early 2022 and removing skilled workers from their jobs is completely ordinary?
But Mole you say, thats hyperbole…


Meanwhile, Ms Ellery said she was investigating reports the principal of a private college in Perth’s south, Divine Mercy College, had threatened to shut down his school rather than get the COVID-19 jab.

Ms Ellery said she had also sought advice on whether the principal of the college in Yangebup could be stripped of his teacher’s registration.
“This is a school principal who holds a position of privilege and power effectively abusing that position with his own personal views against the public health advice,” Ms Ellery said.

Ms Ellery said she had sought advice about whether the principal had breached standards under the Teacher Registration Board.

“I think this conduct is unconscionable,” she said.

He has frightened his staff by threatening their jobs, and he has frightened his school community and the parents by suggesting to them their children will no longer be able to attend this school.”

Archbishop of Perth Timothy Costelloe released a statement expressing disappointment at the anti-vaccination stance reportedly adopted by the college.

Gee, imagine that. Someone threatening peoples employment… if only there was some sort of precedent for this sort of behavior by people in authority…


“I do know that parents will be quite concerned if the situation that happened in Margaret River becomes a regular or an increasing thing around our schools.

The only other place I’ve been to is church in the last two weeks.

He doesn’t stock any IPA paperbacks.

I doubt anyone does. I am tempted to ask my local bookstore to see if their head explodes. Victoriastan Cats might try the same trick at Readings.

This can be entertaining. Many years ago I ordered a copy of The Black Book of Communism from Imprints Booksellers, a trendy left wing bookshop in Adelaide. (It was easy for me to get to.)

When I went in to collect it, the staff member appeared almost unwilling to actually make physical contact with the volume. His facial expression and body language displayed such intense revulsion that it gave me great delight to innocently engage him in as long a conversation as I could engineer about the book and its contents. I’m sure he disinfected his hands and the counter after I left.

Still makes me smile!

Yesterday afternoon, the protesters on the steps of vic parliament were calm and friendly. Peaceful. Free food and drink was shared amongst those who were hungry, considering that some had stayed overnight. One woman I noticed went around picking up bits of litter. A couple of older men accompanied the music with some nifty footwork on the footpath. All kinds of people, different, yet somehow representing a single desire for some unnamable good. The violence is in Dan Andrews’ head and in the heads of those who fear what is true.

Yep, I don’t recall Husic ever uttering one word of condemnation….not one fucking word….about the decapitation of Maurice Antill and Zoe Antill last December by one of his fellow co-religionists.

But Cassie….don’t you know……the brutal murder of an elderly couple in their home in a suburban Brisbane street wasn’t caused by terrorism….it was mental illness.

Oh and I haven’t heard this hypocrite Husic publicly condemn the video that’s emerged from May of this year, filmed in a street in Lakemba, where hundreds of Husic’s co-religionists called for Jews to be decapitated or perhaps Mr Husic doesn’t have a problem with that.

I’m getting sick and tired of these hypocrites on the left. As I mentioned last night, they’re fucking hypocrites and it’s time we stood up and told Husic and others to fuck off.

Election coming up? Apparently, it’s not government mandating vaccines, and he’s all for business making their own decisions. Ha ha.

Saying all the right things now, when the country is a smouldering wreck, but how about doing something about it?

It is the Federal Government which has banned anti-viral treatments for Covid-19.
It is the Federal Government which continues to permit the injection of an experimental concoction which causes death and permanent damage into thousands of Australians.
It is the Federal Government which has paid for the construction of the detention centres for the unvaxxed.
It is the Federal Government which plans to alter the BioSecurity Act to authorise detention of the unvaxxed in those camps.
It is the Federal Government which passed legislation which will allow foreign troops to keep order in Australia.

Just heard an Ermagerd! moment on the Channel 10 News.

Apparently large numbers of Critical Care nurses have chosen not to renew their registrations this year, or are just walking away from the profession due to alleged ‘overwork.’

Pretty ANF Union mouthpiece talks about stress and feeling unvalued and ‘Da Gummen Aorta…’

A little thing called a ‘mandate,’ otherwise known as ‘No take-a de Jab, No keep-a de Career in the [Insert State Here] Health Service, Tovarisch!’ suuuuuurely wouldn’t have anything to do with that, right?

Surely, our wise and benificent rulers would never do something as lethally short-sighted as overburden their own health systems with perpetual fund starvation and make any degree of professional registration and continuing education cripplingly expensive and bureaucratically onerous. While simultaneously relying on an (now suddenly dried up) influx of foreign medical staff to maintain a semblance of service. And then punish and sack them all for daring to be better informed about said jabs than the Narrative-Spinners and -Enforcers themselves.

This whole thing about the ‘violent’ protesters is laughable, especially from Saturday.
I was there. I have never seen a more diverse, polite and determined crowd in my life. Neither had those I was with.

Politeness and manners was the key feature of the day. It had to be. We had so many people crammed into a small space, that you were forever bumping into and rubbing against others. There were far more ‘Sorrys’ and ‘Excuse mes’ than there was chants. I saw not a speck of hostility or violence. Everyone knew what they were there for, and that it was historic.

I saw a number of signs which referenced gallows and nooses, all of them in the context of Nuremberg. Referencing a Legal process that we (as a nation) were a party to, doesn’t seem like vigilante justice or mob violence. Just an expression of the similarities of the crimes…and the potential legal outcome.

Possibly 100k+ people gathered in Melbourne on the weekend, and not one arrest occurred. What does that say about these vexatious claims of a violence mob? As for right wing, what bullshit. The protestors had elements of the gay lobby, the Aboriginal industry, Islamic groups, etc. as I reported on the Cat during the event, it was EXTREMELY diverse. To bundle them up as right wing Nazis is one of the funniest things I’ve ever heard. It would be for you too, if you’d been there.

This latest round of bullshit is designed to smear the protests and the protesters in an effort to dumb down the momentum they are getting. It’s definitely making Dan nervous, and if there’s an upside to his cowardly and dishonest bleating, it that it proves he was watching. I intend to give him another spectacle this weekend, too.

Yesterday I ordered wine from DM’s for next day delivery. Later I received a text from their contract delivery people telling me I must have ID available to show them when they deliver.
I checked their site on the internet which states:
For ‘Just Say When’ (other than the same day) delivery orders, registered users don’t have to show their IDs to the drivers.

When the driver pulled up in my driveway I opened the door as he was at the boot of his car putting on his mask, I called out to him to place the deliver in front of my front door where I had placed on my flyscreen door written signed instuctions to leave the delivery in front of the door. I also attached my DM member card to the screen door.
He called to me when coming up the path to my house that I must prove that I am the said person and live at this address. I banged the door shut and yelled out ‘I am not vaccinated’. I could hear him calling out ‘sorry darlin’ as he scuttled away.

Religious discrimination commissioner to cost $11m
Exclusive
Geoff Chambers
@gregbrown_TheOz
An hour ago November 18, 2021
35 Comments

A new religious discrimination commissioner tasked with overseeing proposed protections for faith-based groups and individuals would be handed an $11m ­budget over five years to establish a stand-alone office inside the Australian Human Rights Commission.

The Australian can reveal the Morrison government will proceed with appointing a religious watchdog alongside existing age, disability, race and sex discrimination commissioners.

Religious discrimination legislation put into the parliament next week will establish the statutory position of religious discrimination commissioner to promote understanding and compliance with new laws.

The religious discrimination commissioner will also advocate, inquire into and report on issues associated with freedom of ­religion in Australia, filling a void inside the AHRC.

Additional ­responsibilities imposed on the AHRC will require additional funding and resources under the religious discrimination commissioner.

The new role, which was a key demand from faith leaders and organisations, aligns with similar regimes overseeing commonwealth anti-discrimination law. LGBTIQ discrimination currently falls under the remit of the Sex Discrimination Commissioner and was not expected to be considered as a stand-alone statutory office.
