Also attended Melbourne march.

A few crazies, most notably Moses who was standing on a tram shelter in Burke St. Couldn’t read what was written on his tablets, but gave many of us a good laugh.

Statue of the Virgin Mary also winding its way down to the mall.

God is not completely dead in Melbourne town.

Lots of Mums, lots of kids, dogs. Ages 8 months to 80.

Completely uneducated guess would put the crowd at 15-20k.

Police were still lining side streets, which I am unsure of the tactics behind. Major principle of mine is to always leave an escape route when in unpredictable crowds.

Anyway, a great day, and reassuring that I am not alone.

Cat identifier for large crowds is definitely required.

Gentleman Cats should wear their Dickless Upticker club ties.

Lady Cats, look out for the neckwear with white shields bearing the blue thumbs up sign, with a tick as the crest and the supporters being suits of armour with the codpieces conspicuously missing.

Police like to contain protests to the main road where some control can be exercised.

Once crowds disperse mayhem could be the result.

Just back from the Brisbane rally. Very big crowd. Not a hint of violence or any aggro. No so called right wing extremists to be seen. But there was a “noose carrier”, with his face fully covered in a black ski mask – he was ignored by all.

I was hoping to CATch up with some Cats but it was not to be

err, peoples – I have a confession to make – I’ve let you, my family and my friends down (again).

Thanks to the total absence of a back up/contingency plan, got to the train station at about 11:25am this morning, only to discover that no trains were running between Sydenham and Central. This is despite checking on the state rail website two days ago that showed no “track work” activity this weekend on my line.

$20 dollars cash, no wallet and no phone and 12 minutes from the cottage (in 97% humidity).

I apologise unreservedly, Cats.

Kyle Rittenhouse Not Guilty Verdict Breaks Hollywood: ‘I Weep for This Country’

They are not just so feeble minded that they can see nothing else in any interaction between a white guy and a black guy as being a black guy/white guy thing – like there is no other possible dynamic possible (such as criminal/victim, rivalry, personal animosity, who got a pony for their 9th birthday etc).

No, when all the people involved are white – and you can see it in all the footage – they will ignore what their lying eyes are telling them and see racism (with one of the races is conspicuously absent) simply because the MSM says so.

I think this same ability to immerse themselves absolutely into a fantasy that underwrites their acting ability.

But seriously, just because one of them plays a physicist in a movie no one would be stupid enough to trust them when they say in the free time they have discovered a new sub-atomic particle.

He was not harassed, just ignored. If you’re going to make a statement like that, take the mask off and own it. Unless, of course, you don’t want to be identifable as your social media may link you some particular group **cough** ANTIFA ** cough, cough***

He’s entitled to his anonymity. I’m entitled to point out the cowardice in his actions given the context. Unless you think he really is a hangman, of course. Although I’m not sure it’s much of a career in Australia at this point. What does the LNP have to do with anything?

Completely uneducated guess would put the crowd at 15-20k.

Very easy to underestimate, but today was in the hundred/s of thousands.
I don’t actually believe the figure being thrown around about 450K people in Melbourne, but several hundred thousand I can live with.

Most definitely larger than last week. At least double. We hadn’t really made it far into Bourke St (from Spring St) and they were reportedly already arriving at Flagstaff Gardens, and we couldn’t see the end of the sea of people behind us. Some didn’t even continue on to the Gardens, as progress was so slow due to the numbers. Took hours to get there. The numbers at the Gardens don’t reflect all those who were at Parliament.

It was incredible.

The Dan cult (prguy17) can talk the numbers down all they want on Twitter, but he will be briefed by VicPol about the true figures (from mobile phone pings), and he will be shitting himself. The increase from last week to this week indicates grassroots momentum that he really doesn’t want to see.

I’m unsure whether to be surprised or not, but the Hun has given today’s Mongyang event some decent press:

Tens of thousands of people gathered in Melbourne’s CBD on Saturday to protest the state government’s pandemic bill. Protesters flocked to the steps of state parliament from midday before marching through the city to Flagstaff gardens.

Hundreds of police monitored the demonstration but no arrests were made.

In contrast to earlier published pics of the protestors, some of these were taken from a height – one in particular showed the number of people in from of Parliament, and another from there looking down what appears to be Bourke Street. Very, very striking pics showing the numbers there, but I suspect they still don’t do the actual numbers justice.

The Hun also threw this bit in:

A counter-protest organised by the Campaign Against Racism and Fascism (CARF) in Carlton attracted around 300 people. Attendees carried signs saying “Melbourne is an anti-fascist town”, “neo-Nazis off our streets” and “stand against the far right”.

Fears the two groups would clash and become violent did not eventuate.

Not terrible, especially when contrasted with coverage of earlier protests. Not great, but certainly not terrible.

And the statue of Our Lady of Fatima is my mob. We processed around the completely locked up St Patrick’s Cathedral (gates as well) while praying the Rosary for the cause and for the conversion of the Archbishop nd then mingled in with the crowd amid cheers and expressions of joy at seeing the statue of Our Lady.

Unable to attend today, but delighted and exited to see my local centre had a good turnout, along with a couple of other regional ones. Senator Matt Cavanagh has posted on farce book about some regional protests – check it out. Even one of the regional councils up here has canned jab status demands for businesses. One councillor’s son was hospitalised the day after his jab. Feeling is running fairly high.

Stand in the Park has been a weekly Sunday event around here too.

Next week is the big one, 27th. Hoping to be with a decent-sized group for that one, making up more numbers! Need to organise a Cat T-shirt, several are followers.

Well, yes! The very good stuff nowadays tends to be purchased by private companies for private use. Some are so popular, everybody gets into them. And you never notice it because it just goes and gets the job done…

Some turn out to be a bit lemony, but that is a risk you take when you want to minimise outlay for maximal capability.

It is unusual these days, but not unprecedented for something to be ordered with good intentions but then turn out to need a lot of rectification work, or get quickly scrapped as being unsuitable.

However, anything that has governments, tender processes and nobody with skin in the game or their own money involved can risk trouble.

As South Africa has demonstrated…

“The 12-person jury, made up of five men and seven women, which appeared to be overwhelmingly white, deliberated for close to 3 1/2 days”.

Lefties pick and choose.

If it was seven men then they would be able to claim there was a ‘male’ thing going on. But it was seven women so that is out. In fact we must assume that seven women managed to prevail upon a numerically inferior (and therefore morally inferior in the ways of leftist social calculus) men. Leftists do not believe in individuals the make up of the jury determines outcomes.

Hence the 11 white jurors somehow dissolved the black juror like an aspirin tossed into the ocean. There is no way a black juror might have seen a white kid killing two white guys and injuring another as anything other that white supremacy except for the overwhelming number of white jurors. The black juror had no agency or opinion.

From earlier today,I think.

Excellent Lionel Shriver article at the pommie Spectator.
“In every age group over 30 in the UK, the rates of Covid infection per 100,000 are now higher among the vaxxed than the unvaxxed. Indeed, in the cohorts aged between 40 and 79, infection rates among the vaccinated are more than twice as high as among the unvaccinated.”

…but what in blazes were the counter-protestors protesting for, or against?
Were they madly in favour of the pandemonium act? In favour of the panjandrum premier? Were they supporting the brave Vicktorian health workers who were battling to penetrate the picket lines and get to work? Were they holding off the demented mob so that steely-hearted workers could upgrade rail-lines unhindered?
Or were they against the crowd gatherings, and selflessly trying to disperse the mob into 1.8m2 density? Were they struggling to hand out paper masks to the raging mistaken libertyniks, through the barricades? Were they calling out available jab appointments to the immovable passing cattle, pen poised vainly at the ready above an empty appointments sheet on a clipboard?
Counter-protest of hundreds… my arse. Id’ be interested to see if any of the upper house muppets addressed the brave minority.

A counter-protest organised by the Campaign Against Racism and Fascism (CARF) in Carlton attracted around 300 people.

As they say in the classics, “oh, the ironing!”

I did not have a watch nor a phone to verify things, but about block or so away from Flagstaff along William St, a small group walking in the opposite direction was telling us all to head back to Spring St because the protesters had been misled in that they were heading towards a gathering which was a music festival. Some protesters doubled back; I did not, preferring the nearby gardens to the distant Spring St. What a surprise then to see the many thousands of protesters already settled in the gardens. They must have got there so much earlier than the rearguard – that is to say, it was a very big gathering, all up. As for the group spreading misinformation, can’t say what they were about.

Introduction

Socialist Alliance exists to campaign for the ecosocialist changes so desperately needed in our society. Capitalism has proven manifestly incapable of resolving the impending climate catastrophe, arguably the most pressing challenge for humanity.

Equally, capitalism has no answer to the rampant inequality crisis that gets worse every year. In large parts of the world it is incapable of meeting people’s basic needs for shelter and livelihoods. This is increasingly the case in wealthy countries including Australia and has been dramatically illustrated by the global response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Solutions exist. However, achieving them requires taking power away from the billionaire class and the corporations and governments they control.

The Socialist Alliance believes it is possible to create a democratic socialist society focused on meeting the needs of people and the planet.

It can only be achieved with a revolutionary approach involving the whole community in the transformation of society and the economy.

This platform guides the work of Socialist Alliance members in campaigns and those who are elected to public positions.

We place great value on working with communities, trade unions and social movements because popular mobilisation is the key driver of progressive social change. Direct involvement in struggle changes people’s ideas about what is possible, while creating, expanding and strengthening the grassroots organisations that can make change a reality.

Our goal is the establishment of a new form of radical democracy allowing all those currently exploited, oppressed, and excluded from power, to start shaping the direction society will take, together. We believe it is important to work with others to achieve even partial realisation of the goals and policies outlined in this platform, to make life better now, and as a stepping stone to building the working class and community power capable of achieving more far-reaching change.

Capitalist Australia was founded on colonial theft, genocide and dispossession of First Nations people. We seek to work with Aboriginal and Torres Straight Islander communities to rectify these injustices and realise meaningful sovereignty for First Nations people.

In non-Day Of Action thoughts
Wifey back from a catchment councils meeting in nearby bigger regional centre. Half of the meeting was spent on being instructed on how to enforce jab mandates in local govt property, apparently one is not permitted to ask employees outright for certification, or updates for further second jab/first booster jab etc.
Big push from all catchment councils, under government cultural engagement directive and indig employment targets, to involve local ATSI people. Wife nearly- nearly- voiced concerns as it’s well known that indigenous people are seemingly indifferent to, or massively resisting, jab mandates, so are such engagements now scotched in the way that unjabbed employees will be unceremoniously sacked, or put on indefinite hold?

I went to the Brisbane demo today – first time in my life as it was to quite a few I talked to along the way.
Diversity – yes, all ages, all colours & races and all friendly & courteous. Amazing as I have read about it but never seen it. One elderly lady told me of her 16 year old grandson in hospital with myocarditis after getting “vaxxinated”. After about an hour & a half, my knees were starting to get a bit of a problem & I had to sit for a rest. Within 1 minute, some people came over & gave me a bottle of water, a pear & a nectarine – all gratefully appreciated.

Police – a few blocking off side streets but a very low level presence.

At the beginning when I walked out of Central Station (Anne Street), I could hear some very noisy people. These turned out to be the AntiFa group. Probably 100 max – with twice that number of police surrounding them.
Cop cars, cop motorbikes & cops on treadlies – to keep the morons contained and away from the large demo group.

Got back from my very first protest in Perth half an hour ago, 4 pm. It was great. Forest place was full of people when I got there, about 12:15. All of Australia was there, or at least a cross section; happy, smiling, friendly ppl of every sort. With flags, banners, placards and even a few chants: Freedom! Freedom! And Aussie, Aussie, Aussie, Oi Oi Oi!

It was all about complaining about mandates and government over reach. Enough to lift the heart: the placards were home printed and all different but with common themes. A genuine people’s revolt.

I talked afterwards to some of them and they were all decent ppl who have had enough of mandates. One placard said “You can stick your mandate up your man date.” Lots of Australian flags and the general attitudes we see on the Çat. Another placard said “You are not alone”. This is genuine grass roots revolt, and with no ideology beyond freedom.

I have no idea of the total numbers, but the crowd had thinned by 03:30 in Forest Place, but then a march started up. Again, every type of person you could meet in Oz was in it. Kids carrying flags and wearing tee-shirts with slogans, teens, young adults, middle agers and old folk. Kids being pushed in prams. Lovely ppl with healthy attitudes. Great to see.

My very first protest, and I never imagined I’d be one of those protestors, but I’ll have to get a tee-shirt or print a slogan next time.

One sad, solitary woman at the tail of the march was carrying a placard that said “People before Profits”. That was the only leftie support I saw. She was rather plain and neurotic looking, in contrast to everybody else.

A convincing disguise, no doubt.

She’s likely a far right extremist QANON garage neo-Nazi Trumpian pro-lifer hatching a plan to assassinate Mark McGowan by means of a rope noose obscurely hung from a tree in a public place.

Who else would attend such a rally.

I hope they’re not implying that non-whites are less inclined to perform their civic duty…

Not a chance, though Persons convicted of a Felony can’t serve on a Jury
Some insane number of blacks are convicted of a Felony in their lifetimes, it is about 6 times the white rate.
Anyway, it’s Race Baiting.
Wisconsin is 10% black, there was one black on the Jury

The only person there who was planning to hang Mark McClown was me, as far as I know. And I’d prefer piano wire.

There may have been others, but we had no way of identifying each other. Sad.

Perth today was my first protest, too. And I was so encouraged by the conversations I heard among strangers – these people are well-informed, eager to engage and in no way listening to the MSM. All ages, families, lots of different ethnicities and best of all, lots and lots of young women.

My favourite sign – “It’s called a mandate because in the end, you get f**ked in the a**e”. Most Australian protest sign evah!

(I put in asterisks because I don’t swear and also wish to protect the delicate sensibilities of my dear fellow Cats.)

A message from Archbishop Comensoli

“It is with grave concern that I write to you about proposed new legislation “the equal opportunity religious exemptions amendment bill 2021” from the state government, which will impact on all faith based organisations in Victoria. The Victorian government is depicting it as merely a protection against discrimination in religious settings. Sadly however this is a seriously far reaching law that will limit faith based organisations from managing employment matters according to their faith conscience and values.
Suggested actions:
1. contact your local member of Parliament

2. contact your federal members of Parliament

3. share your concerns with others, family friends and those in your local community and ask them to become active too.
4 Get active on social media. You may also like to share your concerns with your members of Parliament via their social media pages
5. Keep up-to-date about this issue at http://www.melbournecatholic.org/religiousfreedom

That was hyperbole. I wouldn’t really hang him. But I think I morally ought to be present when the mob does. It would be right and proper to be present when my prediction comes true.

Wisconsin 6.4% black so 1 black on Jury means blacks were slightly overrepresented.
Some suggest that the deliberations might have been brief, but they stayed sequestered to give the impression of impartiality.
And to give Civil Defense time to remove pallets of bricks dumped in convenient locations.

Allegra Spender

As Cass noted the other day, she would have never ventured west of Strathfield. When she did venture that 15 or so kms west, it would have been participating in her hockey team’s showdown against the Santa Girls.

The latter did not take any prisoners. All the femmes in my family are Santa girls.

The unsexiest schoolgirl uniform inhuman history is the Santa girls’ uniform. That’s why you do not mess with them. All that pent up resentment.

while many of us can see the similarities, there are other who will, with reason, take offence, hence my suggestion a few months ago of the red triangle (political) superimposed over the black triangle(ascocial) or vv. Those who know will understand the symbology.

I’ll take your point into consideration, Diogenes.

In unrelated news, today November 20th is Cambrai Day.

The Battle of Cambrai was fought from November 20 to December 7, 1917. It was characterised by the first massed use of tanks in combat,* when 400 tanks of the Royal Tank Corps were sent into battle to break through German lines and support the British and Commonwealth infantry push.

While the tank itself still suffered from serious mechanical reliability issues (only half the tanks committed to the fight were still operational on Day 2 of the offensive), and a fierce German counter-attack late in the battle (using an early version of the storm trooper tactics that would characterise their 1918 September offensive) drove the Allied forces back, Cambrai is honoured to this day as a proud tradition by the Tank and Cavalry Regiments comprising the UK’s Royal Armoured Corps and its descendants in Australia, Canada, New Zealand and India.

Through the Mud and the Blood, to the Green Fields Beyond.

* Tanks had been used since September 1916 at Fleurs-Courcelette, but only ever in small and isolated ‘packets.’ Cambrai was one of the first examples of combined arms operations using mass and surprise to achieve breakthroughs and fscilitate rapid tactical movement. These would further mature into the tactics used in the Allied ‘100 Days’ Offensive in late 1918, reach apotheosis in the German Blitzkreig of 1939-41, and continue to inform the tactics and strategies of modern militaries today.

Rukshan made a keen observation that the Antifa protest was far less diverse than the Freedom March.

He tried to interview some of the Antifa mob who were also protesting racism. They wouldn’t let him near the main group and the police sent him back for his “own safety”. He kept referring to that throughout the afternoon, that he, a poc from Sri Lanka, was excluded from a protest against racism, but acepted – indeed, revered – by the ‘far right extremists’.
