– endless stream of retards trying to be the next revolutionary leader screeching into the microphone

I thought the nurse – perhaps the doctor and definitely Topher Field carried the speeches. (IMO Topher’s speech was a call to arms – of sorts.) I missed most of the lady explaining the Constitution, due to crappy comms. How did she go over?

My sis had a huge turkey for thanksgiving. It fed a very large family gathering.

I was concerned at the cost of such a turkey until I found out that my nephew had taken the turkey in the wild with bow and arrow.

Our youth aren’t entirely poisoned.

They need to refocus the speeches, and keep them limited.

Agreed. I caught up on a couple of chores when the Abo stuff was on. It’s not ABOUT them. It’s about all of us, FFS.

goldie only has about half a million, so that’s about 1%, pretty good turn out.

Yeah the crowd size was big enough for it to be a success optically.

Look it wasn’t a failure people went and there was enthusiasm and it was well organized. Though no idea if they ever even marched or not.
But like I say if you wanted to crush the momentum of a movement going viral this is close to how you’d do it. There was a lot of staid middle class people with their kids there, some looked pretty grim as we left and old mate was on stage talking about the ‘fucking negative energy man’. The protest still seemed very geared to appealing to activists and radicals that it was built on. Which is expected.

I guess they need to change gears now if they want capitalize on last weeks success and go to the next level of size and acceptance.

The takedown of Paul Krugman. This is in Tablet magazine.

‘The Millions March Protest took place across Australia. This footage is from the Gold Coast Protest that took place in Broadbeach. Including a passionate speech from Pauline Hanson.’

The crowd is pro-Hanson, cheering her.

The minor parties will need to retain the crowd support until the elections.

To anyone attending protests tomorrow.
– threatening is bad. Call it out and reject it.
– aim for peace. Be peaceful. Victory hand
– weird messages don’t help. The goal is stop the mandates, stop the bill and spread peace.
– for the actual “far right” – stay home. You’re pests.

I see what he’s saying but the people with ‘weird messages’ and the ‘far right’ built this entire movement. They were the ones getting the shit kicked out of them, arrested, harassed and terrorised but continued to turn up and build the small machine that now runs and promotes this stuff, while everyone else stayed home. They carved out the space that allows the middle to now operate in.

So MP Limberick isn’t just going to swan in now and order them liquidated now that there’s mainstream interest and it’s safe. Yes there needs to be a refocus and gear change, but throwing their activists under a bus is where the non left always fails.

Obviously very tightly controlled and the organizers have been given the rules.

Why would anyone go to a protest without knowing who the organisers are?

Yeah, driving 1.5 hours, taking 20 mins to find a park, hiking to the park, assuming we’d missed the march which was fine, but dutifully standing around for an hour to find out that they had yet to get the cops permission to march through the empty streets of broadbeach and then leaving in eye rolling boredom is the definition of a firm basis on commenting on it.

I stand corrected. There should have been people directing you how to protest and where.
So what did you do with your banners/signs?

Why would anyone go to a protest without knowing who the organisers are?

Because when Black Lives Matter, just whom they matter to is unimportant, Grigory?

Stop being stupid. There is an entire Left who do a far better job of it than you…

Howz them jabs working out for you, Cloggers?

A desperate Dutch government, besieged by massive anti-mandate protests on one side and soaring COVID cases on the other, has ordered the night-time closure of bars, restaurants and most stores.

The Netherlands surge, the worst in Western Europe, came even though 85 per cent of the adult population has been vaccinated…..

Keep your ivermectin dry, Cats. More of the same here soon.

Do these people- credible, substantial, and organised* – actually exist?

The League Of Rights was the bogeyman 40 years ago, though I doubt they called for insurrection.
If there is any Far Right in Australia they’d be heavily infiltrated and their actions scripted by ASIO or somesuch.
This David Limbrick sounds like a Narrative Promoter.
I guess the Nazi Party, wound up in 1945, was the last of the Far Right.
I can see why politicians might get a tad edgy, the NAZI Party came to Office on the promise to repeal Vaccine Mandates.
It’s a funny old world.

Seriously?

Yeah, that’s always been the case in Qld, though it doesn’t apply to the CFMMEU, who March down Edward St and up Alice Street any time they fucking like.
The issue back in the late 1970s was that the Coalition Government was denying Permits To March to groups critical of the State Government.

There should have been people directing you how to protest and where.
So what did you do with your banners/signs?

Are you retarded?

@ DrBG,

Perth’s demo today was down in Elizabeth Quay, as Forrest Place was booked for the WA State Strongman Competition. Old Man Anger and I went there to cheer my sister on for a bit round lunchtime.

Probably just as well it wasn’t on in Forrest Place today- The sun and glare were vicious, and it was certainly screwing with the competitors (Watching a 6ft tall, 120kg Man-Mountain spectacularly lose his composure over an otherwise simple Jerk and Press at the start of a medley event is something that does not fade quickly).

I suspect it will be back on as usual next weekend. Hopefully with gentler conditions…

Our youth aren’t entirely poisoned.

The young man will go far…

He’s a Naval Aviator now in training to be a Hornet jock. Seems marksmanship is a given.

You know who else mandated unecessary medical procedures and gave people deemed unworthy on pseudoscience, less rights?

That’s right, Nazis.

In the topsy turvey newspeak world of far left authoritarianism, the left have been pushing a narrative that rounding up Aborigines and vaccinating them at gunpoint is liberating.

See? Propaganda is easy.

Rex,
believe it or not true

Thanks Diogenes.

@ Grigory-

Don’t get too excited about being the broken clock that got it right once today. The following still stands:

wipe that Gypsum off your nose and go punch a concrete wall somewhere, until your knuckles show through your skin and you’ve shown that wall who’s boss…

Want to play aviation games?

Try this.

I always did like the original Van Halen video. A-4s are grouse. I do sometimes wish I was born 40 or so years earlier, so as to have had a bash at operating them off HMAS Melbourne back in the day. Or Trackers. Trackers are cool

But since I am still on a Dos Gringos bender:

Here’s the Air Force version… 🙂

I was sitting with some aborigines eating my lunch. They had got some shade which was why I joined them.

We may have only been a few tables apart at one stage. 🙂

Also, nothing wrong with bow ties. My Consultant (boss doctor) at FSH used to wear some gloriously garish ones. He was colour-blind as I recall, so saw them somewhat differently to the rest of us. Good bloke…

So effectively, Adolf did a Gough and took credit for things either applied or repealed by the ancién regime he replaced, or were de facto already gone.

Chronologically, surely Gough did an Adolf?

Wouldn’t be the only time.

Gough “recognised” Soviet control of Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia, making him the last leader in the world to endorse a term of the Ribbentrop/Molotov Pact.

You tell us why (nano?) micro teslas difference in ambient background fields make a difference to anyone’s health.

Time and place. Inverse square law. Beam/field convergence and interference. Heating.

In the late nineties at a particular metropolitan university, there used to be issues with the homeless finding their way into warm places of an evening. Turns out the lock on the “plant room” door on the top floor of a particular building was not locking. Therein was a door to which led to the roof, which housed various microwave amongst other transmission and reception antennae/dishes.

I recall that particular Thursday having beers at the uni bar with some mates and none of us could figure out where this absolutely delicious smell of marinated, seasoned garlic lamb kebab was coming from. That noticeably smoky, lemony-vinegar kind of tang with a hint of fennel. Turns out the final act of homeless guy the previous evening was discovering a particular dish shielded the wind as well as was nice and warm to sleep in.

These people are so stupid they can’t even understand that the thing they are stating is proving the opposite of what they think it is.

Huh?

In fact, from what they state, you could say that truthfully that it was the Weimar vaccine mandate killing children which helped make the Nazis more popular.

Well, yeah, because that’s what happened.

i.e. vaccine mandates kill children …

Sadly, that’s unarguable.

… and lead to Hitler.

Vaccine Mandates had been around for a long time, neither the Monarchy nor the Weimar Republic had the Political will to end it.
The Vaccines of the day likely didn’t work, it was killing and maiming children but Big Pharma was huge in Germany and Big Pharma isn’t accustomed to entering into negotiations.

Fuck off Grigory.

They text of that sharticle says the opposite of what they argue to be the case:

As a result, in the waning years of German democracy, the Weimar government suspended compulsory vaccination in practice, even if it was still officially the law of the land.

LOL

Lying arseholes.

I couldn’t stomach the gross propaganda, thanks for reading it all of the way through, Arky.

My First Protest Rally…

Attended the Darwin rally today. I was a bit of a wimp and did a drive by first to check that it wasn’t too scary.

It was pretty laid back, very diverse cross section of people from families with kids in strollers, through young people, middle aged and seniors.

Started with rendition of ‘We are one, we are many, we are Australian’, then young girl read some stories that had been shared in social media, invited people from the crowd to come up and tell their stories. A few did, mainly about losing their job for refusing to get vaccinated.

Then a youngish bloke talked about bad media coverage of the NT over the last week, especially Gunner’s rant about ‘anti vaxxers’. Talked about what is happening in remote communities near Katherine, noted that vaccinations had gone from around 20% to 100% and that it was highly unlikely that everyone consented without coercion. Joked that six months ago he’d been a rabid left wing greenie and now he was a right wing extremist. Noted that a lot of businesses disagreed with the mandate and gave a website to check for who these are (which I’ve forgotten).

None of the hijacking by indigenous activists that KD warned about.

Then we proceeded to march down the Esplanade. Stopped at the Cenotaph where they played the Last Post and had a minutes silence. Then proceeded on to Civic Park.

Chants while marching:
* Terminate the mandate
* Coercion is not consent
* My body my choice
* Don’t poison our kids
* Gunner’s gotta go

Not sure I liked the last one. I’m no fan of Michael Gunner and would agree in general that he needs to go, but in the context of the rally, I’m not sure Lia Finnichiaro, the opposition leader, would change anything.

Two things I found interesting. First , while there was a police presence, they kept well back from the rally, except for when the march crossed roads where they stopped the traffic so we could proceed. Some of them looked a bit disconcerted when the groups around me thanked them as we walked past, while some of them smiled and waved at us (I wonder if the second group will still have a job on Monday?).

Second thing is that I didn’t see any media presence at all. Checked the ABC website when I got home and you’d never know there has been a rally at all. Not sure about the TV news as we can’t get a signal in bad weather.

Oh, last thing. I’m not good at estimating numbers, but I think there would easily have been 1000 people there, which is pretty amazing for Darwin.

Thanks for the report, Helen, and Pedro, I appreciate your updates as well.

My First Protest Rally…

join the club, you know how serious this when so many cats get out to protest

Would the Nazi Party have formed a Government in 1932 if they hadn’t promised to end Vaccine Mandates?
Possibly not, since it was a Minority Government.
If that was the case, then they paid a high price.
The Country was destroyed by May 1945 and the successor Governments relegislated Vaccine Mandates anyway.

Megan

Special mention to John of Mel whose great Freedom sign was clearly visible to us shorties (and oldies) struggling to match the increasing pace of the Cat front runners especially as the march reached its end.

Not sure what you’re talking about, Megan. Haven’t noticed any oldies among the Cat crowd. But, anyway, you’re welcome 🙂

Regarding the Solomon Islands, I can’t claim to have a full understanding about what’s going on there, I’ve never visited the place, but from what I understand about the riots it is the locals are protesting against their government’s involvement with China and the Belt and Road plan.

The rioters are attacking Chinese owned businesses in Honiara, several Chinese ethnic citizens have been killed.

My question is, why are Australian military being sent there to restore calm, wouldn’t it be more logical that China should send their PLA to restore order in their vassal state?

Solomon Islander: Can we please NOT have Chinese for again dinner tonight? Just for a change!

As Russia, Tibet, Nepal, India, North and South Korea, Vietnam and others can testify.

Australia government would be doing it for their CCP paymasters – much better optics than sending the PLA in to restore örder”

My question is, why are Australian military being sent there to restore calm, wouldn’t it be more logical that China should send their PLA to restore order in their vassal state?

1. Because the PLA are shit at it;
2. Because they have zero naval capability, particularly at distance; and
3. Because they would have to send a gazillion troops in to ‘restore order’ to all six main islands in the Solomons chain, as well as the hundreds of smaller islands in the archipelago.

The slightest hint of difficulty in doing this would result in immense loss of face, and all the talk of invading and conquering Taiwan – which is like 25 Iwo Jimas on top of each other with 24 million people in it who’ve been preparing for this exact circumstance for decades, would go softly into the bin.

Thanks Tom. I sent five on to Spiky to cheer her up.

Thanks to all who could turn up.

If reef coral has expired due to dreadful heat why is this business going so well?

Monsoon Aquatics wins Australian Exporter of the Year Award (Sky News, 27 Nov)

Monsoon Aquatics’ Founding Director Daniel Kimberley says he was “overwhelmed” when he found out his company won the Australian Exporter of the Year Award.

“It’s a huge deal for a relatively small business like ours; started from nothing 13 years ago, underneath our house in Darwin,” Mr Kimberley told Sky News Australia.

Monsoon Aquatics exports coral and marine life, and they have permits which allows them to “sustainably harvest coral and fish” from waters in Western Australia, Northern Territory and Queensland.

Well done to them, but the dead reef is clearly in good shape if the government is letting someone harvest it.

Does that BBQ look like a stage prop or what?

Surely they realize that meat is destroying the planet?

If you can stomach it, look at this:

I know you put up a warning, but it wasn’t enough, looks like a pedo convention.

Cathedral of Woke.

Critics: Plans for Notre Dame Will Create a ‘Politically Correct Disneyland’ (27 Nov)

“It’s as if Disney were entering Notre Dame,” Paris-based architect and critic Maurice Culot told The Telegram after seeing the plans.

“What they are proposing to do to Notre Dame would never be done to Westminster Abbey or Saint Peter’s in Rome. It’s kind of a theme park and very childish and trivial, given the grandeur of the place.”

The proposed changes, which have been reviewed by the publication, include replacing the cathedral’s confessional boxes, altars, and sculptures with sound and light effects that they say will create “emotional spaces,” and adding modern art murals.

A “discovery trail,” with an emphasis on Africa and Asia, is also planned, and quotes from the Bible are to be projected on walls in various languages. The final part of the trail will focus on the environment.

Maybe they could repaint the Taj Mahal in rainbow colours next.

New vaccine-resistant variant and no ability to enforce any health orders? No thanks. Next week is Parliament’s last sitting this year. Crucial that we pass pandemic laws before State of Emergency runs out. Other Xbenchers need to stump up. #springst

Repulsive creature. I’d be very disappointed to see this thing get re-elected next year.

Omicron is out for days and they can test for it specifically in Australia already.
With the same PCR tests??????
Another deadly variant……yawn.
What a load of cobblers.
Businesses are adding themselves to lists of businesses that won’t participate in passports…..you know those passports that were scoffed at here by the usual dumb bastards……and big numbers now also in Hervey Bay protests as things get serious now for those millions of apathetic Qlders who were keeping their heads down for the last two years realise they can’t comply their way out of this.
All work soon gone again for this unvaxxed outcast…..more time to fight.

Which I am sure is the reaction the establishment wants.

Interestingly, he also surmised (interviewers we’re so stunned they couldn’t stop him) that the variants tended to be nurtured in the immune-compromised. Hadn’t heard that before. Don’t ask me his name – didn’t catch it – but he was the real deal. Shocked the pants off the interviewers who were all ready for the Fear Porn with the advent of a new variant.

From the WIP this one is scarily accurate.

Drivers could be fined £40 for using their engine to defrost car windscreens – warning (24 Nov)

Motorists may be hit with a £20 fixed penalty notice for leaving their engine idling on a street. The penalty could rise to £40 if the charge is not paid within a specific time frame.

“By minimising car idling on our daily commutes, school drop-offs and simply waiting in traffic, we can contribute less CO2 emissions.

Not allowed to unfreeze your windscreen because you’ll melt the planet too.

He has urged road users to “cover” their windscreen overnight or use a “can of de-icer and a manual scraper” instead of turning on their engines.

LOL

No greenhouse gases in that can, amirite?

Tanya is extraordinary. She’s the smartest person I know, and has the soundest judgment.

Michael C-T seems to be a bit of a hermit.

In the bad old days you’d have to cover the windscreen with a couple of hessian sacks, tucked into the door frames so they wouldn’t blow away. In the morning, they’d be stiff as a board.

No good hosing down…the water would be frozen in the hose.
