Hardly surprising since the masks are useless for anything but interfering with normal breathing and causing bacterial infections. They do work great as a mark of submission, though.

World-first laws will force social media giants to identify keyboard cowards
Tech giants will be ordered to identify anonymous online trolls or face heavy defamation costs in tough, new, world-first laws that will make them responsible for what they publish.
Attorney-General Michaelia Cash is pushing for defamation law reform in the area of social media liability in response to a “lack of legal clarity affecting millions,” says Sky News host Peta Credlin.
This comes after a High Court ruling last month which stated publishers could be liable for defamatory comments which were posted…
Anonymous trolls will be unmasked with tough, new, world-first laws that will give Australian courts the power to order social media giants to identify perpetrators or risk incurring hefty defamation payouts.
Under the legislation to be announced by Prime Minister Scott Morrison on Sunday, people who believe they have been defamed online will also be able to get court orders to force social media giants to reveal who is responsible for the posts.
If the social media giants refuse or are unable to identify who made the defamatory comments, then they will have to pay the defamation costs.
Social media giants will also have to establish online customer shopfronts in Australia to make sure they comply with orders.
Mr Morrison said social media could too often be a cowards’ palace, where the anonymous could bully, harass and ruin lives without consequence.
“We would not accept these faceless attacks in a school, at home, in the office, or on the street. And we must not stand for it online, on our devices and in our homes,” he said, adding that the rules that existed in the real world should exist online too.
The centrepiece crackdown on online trolls will be a change to the law to make it clear social media providers are responsible for payouts arising from defamatory comments on their platform where the troll cannot be identified.
It will also legislate to reverse the recent High Court decision in the Voller case, which found that operators of social media pages were liable for defamatory comments posted on them. Social media companies will be considered the publishers of comments, alongside the commenters themselves.
Trolls falsely accused Ellie Smith and Jake Gliddon of all manner of horrors when their young daughter Cleo Smith vanished in rural WA. They had no involvement in her disappearance.
The changes were heavily backed by Deputy Prime Minister Barnaby Joyce, whose daughter Bridgette was smeared on Facebook with false allegations she was having an affair with former NSW National Party leader John Barilaro.
Mr Joyce accused social media companies of making billions of dollars “destroying the authentic fourth estate by siphoning off advertising revenue” while destroying people’s lives and saying “It wasn’t me. I didn’t do that”.
“I’m going to the (United) States next week to talk about what we can do about this,” he said.
“And something will be done. We will either live in a democracy or a Zuckerbergcy, and our preference is for the former.”
Radio and TV personality Erin Molan has been the victim of a unrelenting threats from online trolls, including some who wished harm on her unborn child.
Trolls will be unmasked in two ways. Social media companies will be compelled to create a complaints scheme which will allow victims to know if comments were made in Australia and, if so, to obtain the contact details of the poster, with their consent.
If that doesn’t work, victims will also be able to seek a new form of court order, to be called an “End-user Information Disclosure Order”, which will allow a social media company to unmask trolls without consent.
The government is highly-aware that most litigants in defamation cases against social media giants will be hopelessly outgunned financially.
To get around that power imbalance it has signalled it is prepared to intervene in defamation disputes involving social media companies to support victims, to make it clear to the courts how it thinks the Commonwealth legislation should be applied.”
Don’t you just love Scumbag Morrison’s words above that “social media could too often be a cowards’ palace,”….yet he and his government have done nothing about their ABC….an outlet that’s destroyed one or two lives. Oh and whilst we’re on the topic of “coward’s palaces”…..what about the abuse of parliamentary privilege? We’ve seen two such examples this year….back in March when some skank in NSW Labor made a rape allegation against a National MP (later proved to be unfounded) and only just over a week ago, when Mendicant Meddick in Victoria smeared Avi Yemeni as a Nazi.
For any other Queenslanders that may be interested, there is a petition for the Queensland Parliament to stop the proposed segregation policy. Unfortunately today is the last day.

“‘Public won’t comply with any more Covid rules’
In a hint at what may lie ahead, the UK’s chief medico says his ‘greatest worry’ is that the public won’t consent to another round of restrictions over Omicron.”
And why should we consent anymore? Over the last twenty months, whether it be in the UK, here in Oz, the USA and elsewhere, we’ve been lied to, we’ve been gaslighted, we’ve been smeared, we’ve been ridiculed, we’ve been locked up and we’ve had our rights and freedoms eroded and stolen.
NO MORE.
Giggled just now at Sky Outsiders’ piece on ABC Karen Zoe Daniels, the former Trump-deranged US correspondent who’s running as a Greenfilth “independent” against Tim Wilson in his federal Melbourne seat.
Daniels’ lack of self-awareness is loud-out-loud hilarious. Though I don’t especially like his politics, if I were Wilson, I’d encourage him to get Daniels to speak as much as possible in the runup to the 2022 election because she thinks everyone else is as dumb as she is.
Woops. Typo.

2) the current FLCCC guidelines for early treatement of COVID with Ivermectin are 0.4 -0.6 mg per kg daily for 5 days. Based on my calculations, to get to 0.4mg/kg in an 80kg person would be 13 mls or 2.6 teaspoons of the Eraquell pellets. The dosage safety margin is high, so I wouldn’t get too worked up about it.

There was one here. Belmont. Traumatic. Baby poo beige. Very original and slightly battered. The only thing looking non-original was the chrome trim rings on the standard wheels. Even had a tow bar with ram’s horns and a patinad rego label (not a reproduction label, like I’m seeing now). The V8 badge on the tailgate may be the reason it survived!

Turns out it was just one Bird.
This is Stage 1 Bird. The Stage 2 (delta variant) Bird should appear later this afternoon or tonight, and the following days will herald the appearance of Stage 3 (epsilon) and the full-blown yet incoherent Stage 4 (omicron).
Nobody has yet experienced Omega Bird. Shock and Awe.

“HOW CAN EVERYONE IGNORE US?!! THE PLANET IS DYING!!!!!”
From the first time I saw and heard Plibbers, this poem by Robert Herrick always came to mind.
The Hag is astride,
This night for to ride;
The Devill and shee together:
Through thick, and through thin,
Now out, and then in,
Though ne’r so foule be the weather.
A Thorn or a Burr
She takes for a Spurre:
With a lash of a Bramble she rides now,
Through Brakes and through Bryars,
O’re Ditches, and Mires,
She followes the Spirit that guides now.
No Beast, for his food,
Dares now range the wood;
But husht in his laire he lies lurking:
While mischiefs, by these,
On Land and on Seas,
At noone of Night are working,
The storme will arise,
And trouble the skies;
This night, and more for the wonder,
The ghost from the Tomb
Affrighted shall come,
Cal’d out by the clap of the Thunder.
And how is the average prole supposed to do that, Graeme? Unjab themselves?

article about unrest in the Solomon’s
I have consumed dodgy bain-marie museum pieces from roadhouses and servos all over the country. Have done for decades. Dodgy pork rolls. Expired milk. Parmas with unexpected grey squishy things inside. Barrels of salt over everything. The peepers still work.
I’ve had blinding hangovers. Does that count?
My wife (pre-wife days) once saw a patch of onion weed in flower at the side of the road and insisted I stop to allow her to collect some. I suggested she may not want to do that and gave reasons but she thought the smell would not be enough to overcome the beauty of the flowers.
It was only a few km further down the road before they got chucked out of the window.
I bet Graham was the first to uptick your comment John.

The mechanics of viral entry and apoptotic rupture of the invaded and subverted cell are well known and documented. Much of our genome, previously derided as ‘Junk DNA’ is full of incorporated viral fragments, passing resistance for various conditions between generations. And every infection we overcome in our lifetimes is incorporated, too.

Man, I just cleaned out the garage with the leaf blower and the smell of 2 stroke is choking. I feel the flu coming on.
Graeme – who do you believe is responsible for all of this? Could it be someone acting alone, or as part of some mysterious larger organisation and/or group?
The evildoers here must have almost unlimited money, that’s for sure.
I’ve looked at the vision of the protest but can’t see myself. My legs appear at the back of the big Aussie flag that Rukshan walked under.
I was chatting with a teacher and his kids from the NE who had lost his work because of the jab at the time.
Sorry I didn’t hunt out the Cats. I looked at the phone a couple of times to see if there was a meet up point but I was with a group who brought in other people they knew, so it was introductions and stories being told in the shade.
Lots of these folks are out of work because of the jab. Very sobering experience for me and only added to my intense dislike of the TaliDan regime and his PM enabler.
Yes it does, Graeme. You’ve so far pulled the trigger on 5 chambers out of 6 in the Ban Roulette pistol. It won’t be long before you will have to go away and sulk for another 2-3 months, before magicking up a new IP address and another inane screen name to try your derivative bullshit here again…

Bespoke,
I also have Dorpers! whoooosh! runs away laughing!
You know, I have a feeling we should defer to the Sth Afticans on this variant and their initial view is that it’s not problematic. This may be another huge hysterical fit and we come undone again with bullshit restrictions. That’s the real concern and not the variant. There would be a variant produced very, very frequently anyway. Big fucking deal.
I love Graeme’s method of argument. It’s like watching a grown man revert to being a two year-old under the influence of the drink on a Friday night.
Stomping its little feetsies, wrapping its stubby arms round its Chupachup-like head and incoherently squeaking NO NO NO NO NO NO NOOOO!
Sounds like Graeme is in desperate need of a lightly smacked bottom (to relieve the emotional tension) and put to bed…

Everyone knows the two blokes on The Curiosity Show (of whom one was Ian Chappell) invented science.

Not because of the furor over his dick pix but because he is the most idiotic, useless captain I have seen in the Australian XI (hmmm Hughsie?). He can’t shut up behind the wicket with his fatmouth unfunny sledging, his keeping swings between mediocre and appalling, he can’t bat, his field placings are unfathomable at times, the series loss to India was just an utter shambles- I could go on.
CA has been on a “what a great skipper” rant (ensuring the media comply ) for years. We now know why. This bloke’s judgement is phenomenally hopeless and they had to pump him up to save their skins after the Smith/Warner debacle.
What a shit show.
Interesting body language from dude with full neck & half face tattoos.
To keep these a/holes from locking us down again… and again? WHATEVER it takes.
Some old time funny ads here. It’s a woke site so the soyboy who runs it makes fun of the ads but personally I think times were better when you could buy Temperance Spoons to eradicate unwanted erections, cocaine toothache drops, wife-training and lard ads. You can’t have enough lard.
Because he failed where I succeeded, Graeme.
He didn’t have legions of Nano-Wrigglers. I did. All those weeks of pocket universes randomly being farted into existence and then spontaneously exploding into infinity was totally worth it, to see the look on your face when I announced I’d done away with all the aether in existence… 🙂
It’s not my fault you will not read up on anything you make vast and sweeping pronouncements over, Graeme.
Wipe that spittle off your chin. You’re upsetting my pigeons.
The were locking up before anyway and not allowing in flights. I very much doubt they’re stop going forward.

I bought some stock based crap on Friday NY time. I think this maybe just a huge hysterical teenage girl hissy fit. I hope.

Cricket Tasmania were doing that. A ‘beacon’, they called him.
At the time he was brought back he was the best gloveman in the country, but yeah his captaincy was found wanting. Caved into his quicks looking for reviews too often, when as keeper he should be best placed to have an idea of whether it’s worthwhile.
Carey’s smacking it (at the moment) in the one-dayer against QLD, but I think they’ll go with Inglis. Better bat, and a quality gloveman.

Edmund Fitzgerald tune was used on ‘I wish I was Back Home in Derry’ . Gordon’s tune always sounded like he got it from a much older Irish tune. The Derry song had something to do with the IRA hunger striker.
Rog,
The measures will escalate again , given the opportunity. NSW and VIC are coming out of that, or were until this new opportunity to ruin our lives popped up in Africa, and elsewhere. I’m only looking at the lesser of 2 evils here and without a doubt, locking down our borders to the O hotspots is easily less evil than giving our our Prems another opportunity to brutalize us. Especially the Vic version. Until and unless we can be rid of these deplorable state Govt’s, it’s the best strategy to remain un-incarcerated.
We have friends who are from here and really freaking wealthy. They’re currently living in southern Europe and swing between there and their place in London. The dude smells restrictions coming on and is n0w thinking of moving to De Santis land.
Well come on then, where’s your proof of refutation?

I don’t think they would try another lock down again in Australia of the sort we’ve experienced. That’s if the crowds are any indication.

Barnabus is a joke.

No way in the world he wouldn’t have been given the option of retiring with dignity rather than going out in disgrace, but he called their bluff.

That’s true Cassie, but the size of the crowds would also warn him which way the vote could go next election.. maybe.
The anti-perspirant and bad breath ads were good. This is a good piss take of them about why women should keep their mimsy fresh.
Germany Frankfurt FREIHEIT! 27/11/2021
There’ll be Lockdowns for Christmas far stricter than any we’ve seen.
The groundwork is being laid with the Omicron Variant.
So, oif you’ve got family members you need to see in the flesh, do it now, it’s your last chance.
Neil Oliver: ‘I think the pandemic is over and the government can’t bare to let it go.’
Cassie of Sydney at 12:33 – I’m inclined to agree. At every stage where I’ve said “They won’t do that.” I’ve been wrong.
How did our civil liberties fare with the border closed for 18 months?
Truth is our civil liberties rest in the hands of state premiers and their unelected (and probably politically biased) public health advisers and are theirs to grant or take away as they deem necessary in order to keep us “safe” and ensure their reelection.
Received an email from an American old trader pal from years ago. He would know as much about Australia as I know about Mongolia. But the shit that’s been going on here seems to have been making the rounds.
He does have a point about guns. There are some concerning trade offs about a citizenry armed to the teeth like in the US. However, the negative fallout is by far outweighed by the benefit of the government apparatus knowing the punters are armed. Vicpol would be much more timid, I think.
Confused South African Medical Community Says Omicron Variant Only Has Mild Symptoms, “We Do Not Know Why So Much Hype”

How BO makes women more AGGRESSIVE: Sniffing a chemical in human body odour triggers aggression in ladies, but makes men less hostile, study finds (Daily Mail, 20 Nov)
Might explain the general behaviour of Stinky Rebel lady protesters.
Thanks Groogs. I feel better now.
P
I’ve only been told this in the past few days.
The Sth African medical research functions are apparently very good as it may not have been totally destroyed by the government.
On Colds>Flu>Pneumonia:
It’s a progression..
A Cold is a prophylactic effort by the body to rid itself of accumulated waste.
If that is insufficient, the body amps it up to Influenza.
If even that is insufficient, then Pneumonia is the last gasp before the organism expires.
Do people living in the same house get colds at the same time?
Probably occasionally, but it’s random.
Bret Weinstein: The Liberal Case for Gun Ownership
the wife is pestering me to move there as well
Helen Davidson:
Yes they will.
It will be in Airleron or Curtin Springs.
Ditto.
At least it’s a step up from California, where she has rellies.
And she’s impressed that they have the death penalty too.
Might explain the general behaviour of Stinky Rebel lady protesters.
There’s no coming back from a stinky mimsy.
Yes, I think could well be a serious opportunity, good for maybe another 6 months. Next few sessions will tell I suspect, possibly lower. Have to see.
Graeme pulls out the soppy nonsense about Hiroshima and Dresden.
They were both legitimate military targets (as was Nagasaki).
I am glad they died instead of more of us.
Don’t deflect Gayim!
Tell us if da juice ought to be pre-emptively taken out ala a Turner Diaries cum rag.
From other site: party game: change one word of a popular song to fart.
Just read the official AWM accounts of Australian POWs held by the Japanese.
After which I felt the Hiroshima and Nagasaki attacks were a blessing.
For the Japanese. It cracked them out of a really noxious cultural psychosis.
Let me say I like the Japanese a whole lot less than I used to after reading that history. But they’ve behaved very well for over 75 years now, so there’s hope for them.
Fuck off Grigory.
These are different species of Upper Respiratory tract viruses with different methods of attack.
Pneumonia is an inflammatory symptom based on any form of insult to the lung tissue. Be it viral, bacterial or foreign material lodgement.
Stop fluffing Graeme and go away and occupy yourself with whatever beige, mutton-powered mediocrity comprises your life away from trying to retard-post at the Cat.
How it is possible to knowingly misrepresent your bile-flecked hatred of a group of people you have never even seen, let alone met once in your life, whom you hold collectively criminally responsible for your every failure and personal dislike in this world?
You are a sickeningly small and angry little man, Graeme. Smaller than even my nano-wrigglers…
Take it up with Monteazuma, Tojo and Hitler, fuck knuckle.
Now, do you think the Jews should be killed?
Yes or no.
Failing that, do you think they should be excluded from society and let to die off?
Yes or no.
It is sad (and amusing) when you try to present yourself as the voice of ‘Reason’ relative to Chad Thunderbrain, Graeme.
You are still as incapable as he is of demonstrating your ambits as ‘irrefutable,’ and you stomp your little feetsies like an overtired toddler in the face of anything that challenges your madness…
Oh god you irredeemable loon.
What was Pearl Harbour? A *cry for help* from a drunken, suicidal “friend”?
Graeme – What the Japanese did when they took Ambon, Timor, Rabaul and Malaya would turn you shit white. They were not nice in any sense of the word.
Aussie POWs were treated better than others. Dutch had it bad, Indos worse and Chinese even worse. And of the North Borneo Aussie POWs I think one man survived, out of about 2,500. They made the SS look like softies.
But remember, as far as Graeme is concerned, it was only ever to do with the nasty Juice…
Well, that’s ahistorical bullshit.
Japan knew its only serious rival in the region was the United States, and had planned so for a long time. Everything from its ‘Co-Prosperity Sphere’ to some 25 years of naval planning (including thumbing its nose at the Washington Treat), was designed to set itself up as a truly self-sufficient peer competitor in the Pacific.
Why do you think the Chinese have aped the concept, but inserted a clever twist in the form of making their own island chains?
(including thumbing its nose at the Washington Treaty),
Correction.
Former England Test spinner Monty Panesar has said it’s wrong for the BBC to blacklist former England captain Michael Vaughan from their Ashes broadcast whilst allegations of him making racist remarks to Asian players at Yorkshire remain unproven, saying it’s a denial of natural justice.
Say, remember when the Left deplored the tactics of McCarthyism?
There’s no principle these useful idiots won’t sacrifice for the cause.
Reminds me of the story of KGB agent & later defector Yuri Bezmenov, who was stationed in New Delhi in the 1960s. One day he came across the KGB’s list of Indians to be targetted for assassination should the country ever fall to Communism, which was not an unrealistic prospect in those days as the Soviets had a lot of influence on the Indian government (in fact the Russian-Indian “special relationship” continues to this day). The list comprised mainly idealistic leftists, including pro-Soviet journalists. He was told they would be killed because they would become disillusioned and antagonistic once they experienced the true nature of Soviet Communism.
There were six survivors of 2,700 of those P.O.W’s – four lived to give evidence at the war crimes trials.
The Japanese government had derived a beautifully worded, 14-part declaration of war on the US that was supposed to be given to Washington just prior to the IJN’s carrier strike force making landfall over Hawaii, but due to timezone flubs and cackhanded cipher clerks, the fully decrypted and translated message did not arrive in American hands until some time after the bombs had stopped falling.
The Japanese were holding around 300,000 POWs in mid-1945.
The orders had gone out to kill them all if an invasion of the Home Islands had started. In some places the mass grave pits had even been dug.
Looks like Graeme pulled the trigger on the last Ban Roulette chamber while we were kicking him about his lethal wrongology regarding Japan.
Thanks, d0ver.
One Australian POW, watching the pits being dug, remarked that he didn’t think the Japs were taking up gardening…
Thanks for that Zulu. When I read the account a few nights ago it was a like a fever dream. Very nasty.
Then I read about the Rabaul survivors and some of the things done to them at Tol Plantation on the SE coast years before. That was about as bad.
1) Unfortunately, even after full infective dose exposure, less than 20% of people will even develop a positive PCR
Is this because of natural/existing immunity not allowing enough virus to be present to trigger the test?
Three of the locals – three brothers – were taken prisoner with 2/4th Machine Gun Regiment at Singapore. They didn’t survive.
Notre Dame ‘is being turned into a woke theme park’: Cathedral is being revamped with a ‘discovery trail’ and ‘Christianity for dummies’ exhibits, claim critics
Paintings depicting George Floyd as Jesus Christ hang in both The Catholic University of America’s campus ministry office and its law school, The Daily Signal has learned.
Catholic University appeared to shrug off responsibility for the painting Monday, telling The Daily Signal that artist Kelly Latimore’s painting “Mama” depicts “the Virgin Mary supporting the body of the dead Christ”—although the artist has indicated repeatedly that his painting depicts both Floyd and Jesus.
Bruce, since the war the Japanese have behaved much more rationally than the Germans who still see-saw from ostensible philanthropy to utter authoritarianism.
But of course it is. It’s being rebuilt by people who see it as a historical artefact and not a spiritual sanctuary.

It looks like a collage.
Have the replaced the kid who did the nurse and hospital setting?
Did they look at his resume?
Could any informed NSW cats background the media reports claiming a war between Morrisson and the LNP Executive over preselection and the naughty chaps who have been displaying personal morality in Parliament:
I would have thought that Morrisson’s big crony owners on the Executive would be very keen to flick anyone who shows heretical independance;
or, does Morrisson have a list of favourites that differs from the Photios, Textor, Turnbull list of crony submissives ?
Crony politics is impossibly byzantine and opaque.
I try not to look at History like the decisions to target Dresden of Hiroshima/Nagasaki through modern eyes. The world at the time had been through 6 years of brutal conflict and the scale of atrocities committed in Europe were becoming known. We even had bombs landing on the Australian mainland and shells fired at our most populous city. One of my grandfathers was still involved in actions at Balikpapan. People would have just wanted it over or would have wanted vengeance. I suspect at the time the a bomb attacks would have been widely supported.
For travelling Cats looking exotic locations, Thailand JEATH Museum at Kanchanaburi has an excellent display and accounts of Japanese atrocities not only on POW’s but the hapless Thais, Malays, ethnic Chinese peoples of the region that were often pressganged into service by deception. The Australian Hellfire Pass Museum similar but to a lesser extent. As Bruce & Z2KA describe above the Japs were very nasty. The Americans were training Thais by the end of the war as partisan rebels and weren’t short of recruits in 1945, even the local populations were off the Japanese.
Here we go again…
WA has reportedly revoked entry permits for residents from SA over Omicron concerns after SA announced three new cases who appear to have contracted the virus whilst interstate.
For those who are interested in such things what I’d been reading was The Japanese Thrust edited by L G Wigmore:
Part III – Prisoners of the Japanese
and
Appendix 4 – Ordeal on New Britain
Bruce O’Newk:
Bloody Barbarians.
Is there anyone who does not believe that Morrisson’s amateurish internet defamation and religious freedom bills are anything other than tools for the incoming Plibersek Govt to completely suppress free speech and to destroy all except ROP religious freedoms.
In my darker moments I scream “how could they be so stupid”, but then realise that the repression tools are not intended for use by Labor, they are for Morrisson, Hunt, Joyce and the LNP greens/LGP…. to wield. If Labor score the benefits; well so be it.
Japanese Unit 731 , what a horror show
When Ed says something will happen I have a great deal more confidence it won’t.
Thanks Ed!
Those six survived because they were able to, and did, escape.
Of those who remained in custody, the number of survivors was zero.
The Yanks transferred the entire Unit 731, along with all the evidence, to the U.S., where they lived out their lives as respected citizens.
They were pretty selective about who was a War Criminal and who wasn’t.
Werner Von Braun, he was welcomed too.
The Frogs are definitely bizarre, but I don’t for one moment believe that they will permit the desecration of Notre Dame.
Paris is still on the verge of revolt over Pompidou’s barbarian constructions. Mayor Commie will meet her match over the most revered monument in French culture.
The Academie Francais may have been penetrated by lefties but they know where the limits lie.
Cohenite – Lard is good for you, dairy is good for you, meat is good for you, three veg with meat is good for you. Everything they say is bad for you is good for you.
I’m 65, I didn’t know anybody who was fat when I was growing up, none of my relatives, none of my parents friends, none of my friends. There were a few fat kids at school, they were usually Italian. Now what do (or did) Italians eat back then? Pasta, lots of it. Carbs make you fat and vegetable oils are bad for you.
It’s simple, but like wuflu the establishment refuses to look at the real world.
It’s already happening, dumbo, McGowan just closed the border.
