I wonder if Aboriginal people living in regional and remote communities’ health is robust enough to claim nothing to worry about because 99.8% survival rate

Rounding up Aboriginals “for their own good” was tried in Tasmania in the 19th century, and is generally regarded, with hindsight, not to have been a success.

Even if it could be demonstrated that being herded into a “camp” was for the good of their health, there’s no provision in the Constitution which I can recall that says that any citizen is obliged to make physical health his or her number one priority in life.

Perth protester speaks out against Woodside’s Scarborough plans as Burrup blockade draws ire of residents

1:36 | 7NEWS Perth
Current Time 1:07
/
Duration 1:36

Protestors have blocked the entrance to Woodside’s Pluto LNG plant after the company decided to proceed with its Scarborough gas project

Perth protesters who have set up a roadblock preventing access to and from Woodside’s Burrup gas plants in the Pilbara are under fire for endangering the safety of workers trying to get home from night shift.

Three protesters who travelled from Perth parked a car and trailer across the main access road to Woodside’s gas plants, Dampier Port, Yara’s operations and King Bay businesses in the early hours of Wednesday morning and chained themselves to concrete barrels.

Perth resident Liz Burrow said she and fellow protesters were standing with the Ngarluma people in opposition to Woodside’s Scarborough gas development.

Reuters has reported Murujuga Aboriginal Corporation is seeking a stake in the project and Pluto LNG expansion.

“They can just blow up up a World Heritage amazing collection of rock art for the sake of fossil fuels that shouldn’t even be getting bought out of the ground,” Ms Burrow said.

“The only way we can make a difference is to sit on the road with our arms in a barrel of concrete.

“We’re staunch as hell; we’ve got food, water and we don’t give up. We’ll keep on coming back to Scarborough again.”

Ms Burrow said they were willing to remain at the blockade for “as long as it takes”.

Their actions have found little support online from Karratha residents, who have widely criticised the protesters for preventing staff from getting to work or home.

Australian Manufacturing Workers’ Union WA state secretary Steve McCartney said the protesters’ actions had risked the safety of workers.

“This isn’t a fight you need to be having with our members, the workers just want to return home or get to work safely and do their job properly,” he said.

“AMWU supports the future of green manufacturing and jobs and many of our members look forward to working in green industries, but for now they need to do the jobs that are available and do them safely.”

Mr McCartney’s criticism was backed up by Woodside, which on Wednesday morning said: “our teams are currently maintaining safe operations at our facilities while access to and from our sites and others, is rectified.

“Woodside respects people’s rights to protest peacefully and lawfully but actions such as these that endanger the safety of others go beyond those rights.”

Lotocoti:

Anyone else remember the Atropine Autoject included in NBCD kits?
IIRC Might save you, probably won’t kill you was the marketing line.

Atropine is an effective counter to the Sarin type nerve poisons. One of the issues with getting it to the troops was that they would get accelerated heart rate, sweating etc – all the things that were symptoms of organophosphate poisoning were also part of the effects of Atropine administration.
That meant the poor buggers who were nervous about Sarin would self inject and make their symptoms worse.
Do you remember the size of the needle? Bloody huge – it had to go through the charcoal/double layer of cloth of the NBC suits, then through the cams.
We were still getting priority for atropine after I left and the public hospital system was way behind in getting stocks. When I left the army, I went to a cardiac ICU and we used a fair bit of the stuff to increase slow heart rates up to 40 beats minute.

Customers have been increasingly aggressive towards retail staff who have had to enforce vaccine mandates as part of Victoria’s most recent relaxation of COVID-19 restrictions, which “blindsided” workplaces after they were given just a few hours’ notice.

A cup of hot coffee was thrown over a worker in one instance reported to the Australian Retailers Association, prompting chief executive Paul Zahra to write an open letter to Premier Daniel Andrews. He expressed concern about rising customer aggression and asked for an end to the mandates.

Like the Reichstag Fire of 1933, historians may never know how SARS-CoV-2 came about. For scientists, exploring its origins would be a rewarding endeavor if it weren’t precluded by an immovable force—the jackboot of Xi Jinping’s Chinese Communist Party.

But while intelligence agencies spent months investigating the virus’s origins, the world employed an unprecedented response that proved far more devastating than the virus itself, leading to the greatest economic collapse since the Great Depression, widespread hunger, and the disappearance of countless lives and livelihoods. Across the world, governments implemented measures modeled on the mass quarantines imposed in China, commonly referred to as “lockdowns.”

It was the greatest geopolitical catastrophe since the Second World War, and the largest man-made famine since the Great Leap Forward. And it was all for nothing. Lockdowns had never been science. Rather, they’d sprung into global policy on the order of the CCP princeling who would become the most influential member of the Baby Boom generation; an aberration thrust upon the world through an unprecedented, international influence operation.

By corrupting global institutions, promoting forged data, publishing fraudulent science, and deploying propaganda on an unprecedented scale, the CCP under Xi Jinping transformed the snake oil of lockdowns into “science,” the greatest crime of the 21st century to date. This is the story of how he did it, and why.

At current consumption levels, the equivalent of almost three planets would be required to sustain a world of 9.6 billion by 2050.

If there are presently nearly 8 billion on the planet, I am not sure how they figure that one out. I wonder if this “calculation” takes into account mass deaths from gene therapy or not(?)

Brings to mind that nineteenth century fellow HS Chamberlain that Hitler and his eugenicist mates (likely Bill Gates as well) thought was wonderful. His theory that cannibalism and homosexuality are natural selection processes that occur when the world’s population becomes too large ( >800 million) and there aren’t enough wars on the go.

Three Men Guilty of Murder in Shooting of Ahmaud Arbery

A jury in Brunswick, Ga., found three men guilty of murder in the shooting death of Ahmaud Arbery, whom they confronted as he was running in their neighborhood in early 2020.
Travis McMichael, 35, chased Mr. Arbery with his father, Gregory McMichael, 65, and William “Roddie” Bryan Jr., 52, in two pickup trucks on Feb. 23, 2020. Travis McMichael shot Mr. Arbery three times with a 12-gauge shotgun, killing him.

This article is about America today but, obviously, has strong resonance here. It goes a long way towards explaining what is happening and why, with historical context.

Are You Ready To Be An American Kulak?

Why must the American kulaks be destroyed? Because, fundamentally, they are an obstacle. An obstacle to everything.

American small businesses run lean operations, which cannot hand fat sinecures to useless, obese Diversity, Inclusion, Equity commissars. They have far more to fear from rioting, looting, shoplifting, and general mayhem; their work is in the real world rather than cyberspace, and if their place of business is burned or plundered, they don’t have a thousand others locations to pick up the slack. Their belief in merit and work stands in the way of a society where wealth is doled out based on birth and class. Their basic goodness and worthiness is what renders the demands of worthless, hateful Bioleninist freak shows so pathetic and risible. Their ability to recognize and appreciate fine things in life, whether it’s meat or living space or a personal vehicle, stands in the way of the campaign to reduce Americans to atomized bugmen living in pods and eating crickets.

America’s de-kulakization process is, above all, about breaking and demoralizing Americans so they will no longer demand or expect better, and providing a villain for the Globalist American Empire to project its failures onto.

“Are You Ready To Be An American Kulak?”

What we are witnessing in 2021, be it the Covid cult, the climate change and ruinables cult, global corporate fascism, transgender lunacy, build back better bullshit etc is, at its core, an attack on the western middle classes…..the bourgeoisie. It’s about destroying the most productive and industrious group of people ever to live on planet earth. Stalin knew this…..hence his elimination of the kulaks. It’s worth remembering that it was never the elites or the working class in the west that valued, nurtured, installed and practiced hard work, tolerance, nationalism, productivity, family values, the desire for prosperity, literacy, education, aspiration, respect for the individual and the spirit for democracy….this was the genius of the middle class, a class that grew out of the enlightenment and the industrial revolution. Here in Australia, Robert Menzies understood this profoundly, which is why he created the Liberal Party back in 1944…yet we now have Liberals (cough), from the PM down who have completely trashed his legacy.

A strong robust middle class is the spine of any western democracy. Once gone, democracy will collapse. Perhaps it’s happening already.

So, before long, unless we fight back and it may be too late, we’ll all be serfs again…..which is what the elites desire above all else, they’ve always loathed the uppity middle class and it’s both sickening and funny to see how right of centre parties across the west are willingly participating in this destruction….yet by doing so they are destroying their voter base.

The Vaccine Moment, part one

Internment. Mandatory medication. Segregation of whole sections of society. Mass sackings. A drumbeat media consensus. The systematic censoring of dissent. The deliberate creation by the state and the press of a climate of fear and suspicion. What could possibly justify this? Perhaps the combination of a terrible pandemic which killed or maimed large percentages of those it infected, and the existence of a safe and reliable medicine which was proven to prevent its spread. This, of course, is what we are said to be living through. This is the Narrative.

But it is clear enough by now that the Narrative is not true. Covid-19 is a nasty illness which should be taken seriously, especially by those who are especially vulnerable to it. But it is nowhere near dangerous enough – if anything could be – to justify the creation of a global police state. As for the vaccines – well, let’s just acknowledge that vaccination has become a subject which it is virtually impossible to discuss with any calmness or clarity, at least in public. As with almost every other big issue in the West today, opinion is divided along tribal lines and filtered through the foetid swamp of anti-social media, to emerge monstrous and dripping into the light.

Rebel News, a firm believer in Big Tech:

Disturbing news has surfaced from the Northern Territory where the army has been brought in to round up 38 indigenous Covid contacts and escort them to compulsory quarantine camps.

Wrong. Debunked before, and debunked now. As has happened around the country before, they’re supplying food (directly into the indig communities) and tents and water. The ADF, in the NT News:

“Defence is aware of social media posts claiming the Australian Defence Force (ADF) is forcibly vaccinating or detaining members of the Australian community. These claims are false,” a Defence spokesperson said.

“Defence is supporting the Whole-of-Government response to COVID-19 under Operation COVID-19 ASSIST, providing support as requested by States and Territories through Emergency Management Australia.

“ADF personnel serve in a supporting role to State and Territory authorities and are not empowered or authorised to conduct any law enforcement activities.

“In support of the recent NT outbreak, the ADF will surge around 85 personnel to support NT government transport for isolated close contacts to COVID-19 testing centres, to provide delivery of food to vulnerable communities in the Katherine area, and provide support to NT police,” the spokesperson said.

There are ADF people who have driven minibuses to Howard Springs. The Army are not ’rounding up’ anyone. This is up there with the local chockos (ARES) nudging up to people every six months or so and going ‘oh yeah, I’ve been called up for a secret mission. It’s in line with my specialist training. Can’t say too much.’

It’s a shit enough situation in the first place, without the usual ‘Aaaaaarmy tanks pointing guns at babies’ tongue-out rants from dickheads on social media.

This is why you don’t make fast bowlers captains. This is exactly why. A piece from Malcolm Conn in the SMH in September:

Pat Cummins has spent some tense moments recently squaring up to Australian cricket heavies. But it is his soon-to-be-born baby he wants to look squarely in the eye one day when asked what he did about climate change.

“With a child on the way I’ve started to think more about the future of our children and grandchildren, nieces and nephews. They’re going to be the ones who will feel the effects of our actions right now,” Cummins told the Herald and The Age.

Sigh. That child will, one day, look Cummins squarely in the eye and say ‘Dad, why the fuck are my power bills bigger than my mortgage?’

This week he was announced among almost 400 athletes from 35 sports as part of Cool Down, headed by former Wallabies captain David Pocock, to raise awareness of climate change through their profiles as sportsmen and women.

You are good at cricket Pat. You are not good at demanding that others should live in poverty.

Cummins is walking the talk, having made their house solar and ordered an electric car.

“We’re trying to bring our footprint down as close to zero as possible by doing things differently to what we’ve done in the past,” he said. “There are lots of little choices you can make every day. As I’ve taken a greater interest in it in recent years I’ve started to feel more passionate about this space.

’Obviously climate change is real. We’re already experiencing it now and will feel the effects more in the future.

Just hit the fucking pegs Pat. Leave the rest of it alone.

The Oz has a story about “a short term energy spike on the way before renewables bring prices down”.

Presumably the incurious reporter is looking at only the price that appears on your bill and ignores all the extra money you pay in taxes to provide the subsidies to ruinables – people don’t notice because how tax is used is not itemised.

Coal and gas power would be cheaper too if it was subsidised – Funny how they keep saying fossil fuels are subsidised but never admit ruinables are.

The reporter is almost certainly unaware (this is the most charitable option) that laws have been put in place to hobble coal and gas in order to paper over the reliability issues of ruiniables.

Coal and gas are always there. But when ruinables occasionally stir from their slumber and make a voltmeter needle twitch the ruinables must back out and make way and they are unable to sell. So even with subsidies they are being sustained as a credible source by leeching of reliables.

The unreliability of supply of ruibables is artificially transformed into unreliability of demand of reliables.

They can do that on paper, but when the reliable energy capacity has been whittled away there will not be anything to cover over the intermittency of ruinables, and no amount of new legislation, political posturing, or trips to CO2 conferences will be able to nudge a single additional electron to help.

He’s been dancing up and down the sides of the Darwin protest marches with a megaphone, encouraging people to smash all the shop windows along the way and burn the CBD to the ground.

He’s been roundly told to fuck off by the crowd, and copped at least one smack in the chops doing so from genuine protestors.

Home Affairs Minister Karen Andrews told parliament there is no place “for violent, hateful ideologies” in the country as she announced the clamp down on the Shia Islamist militant group based in Lebanon but active abroad and predicated on the demand for the complete destruction of Israel.

She said the Tehran-backed group “continues to threaten terrorist attacks and provides support to terrorist organizations,” adding its militia has been listed as a terrorist organization in Australia since 2003 as well as overseas, as Breitbart News reported.

Triumphant tweet with a short half life.

An amusing story. All due to the conservative party no one wants to be seen associating with. So when the lefty bird PM put up the budget not only was it voted down but a centre-right alternative budget passed, because the conservative party voted for it. That caused the Greens to leave the government in a huff, since if the government continued it’d have to do so according to the Opposition budget.

Sweden Parliament Approves First Ever Female Prime Minister by Just One Vote (24 Nov)

Just Hours After Selecting New Prime Minister, Failed Budget Vote Plunges Swedish Government Into Chaos (24 Nov)

Sweden’s First Female Prime Minister Resigns After Less Than Eight Hours (24 Nov)

Going to be even more fun since the purples don’t want to go anywhere near the conservatives because cooties, but if they don’t the same thing could happen again. I suspect the wet supposedly centre-right party will do a deal with the lefties to shut out the conservatives and to keep the spice flowing.

The current crop of reporters, or journalists as they like to call themselves, are the most incurious and the most ignorant people

Rip and Read* used to be a term of derision, now it’s the industry standard.
*News stories indistinguishable from PR spiels hot off the fax machine.

At current consumption levels, the equivalent of almost three planets would be required to sustain a world of 9.6 billion by 2050.

Who produced this report?

It is not enough that they have an impressive sounding name. Calling themselves ‘thinktanks’, describing themselves as this ‘Institute’, or that ‘Organisation’, or ‘Working Group’ or ‘Committee’ etc.

It really does come down to ‘but who exactly are they?’

Seriously, all it takes now is for some small band of cranks and faddists to call their extended press release a report, call themselves scientists or statisticians or chairmen, and the unsupported conclusion filled with ‘might’, ‘may’, ‘possibly’, and ‘up to’ is printed in papers as the final word.

How often have you heard of some official sounding body with their latest sibylline prognostications of worldly doo, clicked on the website and found a bunch of busybodies from PR who have suckled the government teat all their lives, and further down a scientist or two, a researcher (as in a library gofer) and…the body’s own PR team.

So we have a few scientists of unknown and obscure reputation passing tales on like Chinese Whispers to people whose career is spin.

Doesn’t sound as impressive as ‘Institute of Concerned Scientists for a Sustainable Planet’. But, of course, the name is the spin creation of the institute’s directors.

These people feel shielded in numbers and become more brazen accordingly. Actually looking at them for who they are strips this imposture away. Most will immediately be revealed as small, naked, needy little people, their cover blown, their bravado evaporated.

It might sound a horrible thing to do to a person but, God damn it, they want to take my quality of life away. And for no good reason.

Forced vaccinations of Aboriginal people in the NT by the Labor government, and it’s also a dry run for the rest of Australia.

In Emperor Xi Won’t Be Best Pleased news:

Parliament building and police station burned down during protests in Solomon Islands

The protesters were demanding the prime minister, Manasseh Sogavare step down.

The tensions between the provincial and national government intensified in 2019 when Sogavare announced that Solomon Islands would switch its diplomatic allegiance from Taiwan to China, to the chagrin of Malaita premier Daniel Suidani.

A police station and another building, owned by a Chinese national, were also burned down during the protests.

An SI expat colleague explained:

The Malaitans are outraged by China’s Belt and Road projects: where useless and unwanted infrastructure is built by Chinese labour/materials, left in a shit state, leaving a big debt and no money in the ‘cultural system’.

Apparently Scummo triggered this by giving Sogavare a folksy ‘in Australia we kick the kids out of home at 18’ lecture early in his dismal PMship.

The Solomon Islands are strategically important to China.
Watch this space.

Think you’re safe because you’ve vaxxed?

84 people locked up in Byron Bay backpackers over 1 case, MP understands they are all ‘fully vaccinated’. Compare the differences to what is happening to people in NT “crowded houses” to a Byron Bay “crowded dorm”. The obsession with zero covid doesn’t care about your vaccination status.

I’m sure there was discussion here early last year that the WA and NT governments were terrified of covid getting into remote aboriginal communities because of the poor general health of people in those communities.
Now they’ve been gotten to by anti vaxx scaremongering.
Some people should hang their heads in shame.

If it worked, then Gibraltar wouldn’t be going into lockdowns again, 100% vax rate.

Who produced this report?

Well it was four planets for 7 billion in 2015, so 3 planets for 9.6 billion shows what progress can do!

It’s rubbish. India is exporting food despite 1.4 billion people on an area not much bigger than Argentina.

I’m absolutely in favour of those not wishing to be vaccinated not doing so, Razey, all medications involve risks of side effects.

Just don’t pretend to hold the high moral ground when you knowingly repeat lies.
