It’s all about instilling a sense of alarm and imminent doom in the populace. Then presenting them in a series. Do not allow the people to get over the last crisis before the next one is beamed into their living room.
It’s about getting a panic going. Just like it’s not the first lightning strike that sends the herds running, it takes a sustained, steadily increasing drumbeat of shocks before they finally panic.
I’m wondering what the next one will be?

It is because of racism. Prior to whitey arriving aboriginal women were revered as the givers of life, love, and liberty. The men were subjugated and only allowed to be near women for conception purposes, they had to deposit their semen into a emu egg which the women used to inseminate themselves. Men had to satisfy their lust through homosexual behavior and if they approached a woman without permission they were summarily castrated.
—
I read about the news report DV earlier today. Not one reference to aboriginal men being held accountable. It was because of racism and police discriminating against aboriginal women complaining of DV that the problem is so bad. The threat of castration would be a far better deterrent and is much cheaper than jail.

First item on the agenda every Cabinet meeting is the size of Dans online performance. It is a ritual that bores all ministers and interferes with the business of government. But ministers shut up – lest they offend the mad king. Dans private office contains a social media unit.

How hard would it be to show discord among Andrew’s cabinet or party members? A mutiny is way overdue!
Winston – It’s after knock off time so I won’t. 😀
I do however think Lister was onto something with his carbolic acid (ie. phenol) nebulizer. Theatre surgeries might well be better sterilized in such a system, especially in these days of MRSA, although the theatre team might need to wear activated carbon masks to protect their lungs. Which beat stupid blue paper “surgical” masks.
If you’re a child of the 50’s and 60’s, you’ve seen these women, Tom. You recognise them.
They lay in wait for poor unsuspecting mites in every Sunday School in the land, terrifyingly corseted, sensible shoed, hatted and handbagged. Small boys and naughty girls were skewered with their gimlet eyes and reproved with much shaking of blue rinsed heads.
Fast forward a few years and the Sunday School teacher was a lass from the youth fellowship, long blonde hair and miniskirt or a young blade with sideburns and motorbike.

NKP, like all psychopaths, Daniel Andrews worked out in his childhood that he could get his way by bullying people. It was self-fulfilling: he needed to get his way by coercion because, unlike normal people, he is a psychopath.
He needs to be locked up. Humouring him is exactly the wrong strategy, but exactly the right strategy for the weaklings in the state ALP who Andrews, being a psychopath, finds himself surrounded by.
They are afraid of him. Neat trick.
They are just creating a Nazarite community.

Guaranteed to make a terrible situation unbearable.
Wasn’t there a rather notorious murder case in Queensland, way back when, when a young girl was murdered in circumstances that had a retired detective ringing the officers working on the case, and recalling “I worked on a similar case, back in the day. The murderer was sentenced to be hanged, but the sentence was commuted to life imprisonment.” The offender had been released…….
There certainly was, in Western Australia – a murderer, sentenced to be hanged, the sentence commuted to life imprisonment, he was released, and went on to take another life…
Really, we’re going Airbus?

MEDALS RETURNED: FAMILY REUNITED WITH WAR MEDALS ALMOST 40 YEARS LATER (16 Dec)
Curiously the report tells of the lady’s dad who had his medals stolen. He is reported to be 84. But all six are WW2 service medals, which means he would’ve been quite young at the time (lots of RAF servicemen were conscripted from kindergarten). I suspect they are his dad’s medals.
My fun was working out each of the medals. They are:
– 1939–1945 Star (Battle of Britain or Bomber Command)
– Burma Star (Pacific)
– Africa Star (8th Army or 1st Army or North Africa 1942–43)
– War Medal 1939–1945
– Australia Service Medal
– New Zealand War Service Medal
Quite a story in all of those. I’d guess Mr Cutts senior served in the RAF, RAAF and maybe even the RNZAF. Well done that man.

My buzzword bingo card just melted.
Tassie school accident now up to five deaths, according to the Hobart Mercury.
The chief principle in sentencing is – or rather, was – the satisfaction of justice, or, in layman’s terms, the punishment must fit the crime. Deterrence naturally results from this sound regime (not absolute deterrence, for there will always be murderers who act in a fit of rage or because they think they will get away with it), but the general deterrence that results from an increased respect for the law and the fear of the consequences of breaking it).
By abandoning this principle, liberals have inflicted untold misery on human beings.
No censorship?

Any one of the bush lawyers in the Cat able to explain why this charming specimen was charged with “manslaughter”

Mens Rea. No intent. But there is a species of homicide where the act is so reckless and violent that by a reasonable standard death can be inferred as the inevitable result and the act accrues the same status as murder.

Bruce, that’s an unusual set of medals.
The Africa Star & Burma Star are in the wrong order.
The New Zealand War Service Medal & the Australia Service Medal on the one set. Unless someone has a nugget of information to the contrary, I cannot see how this could happen any way other than at some stage during the war the recipient was discharged from one country’s armed forces & subsequently enlisted/commissioned into those of the other.

Image in the hail storm if the vendor was – UN-VAX’D!!!
The term ‘doli incapax’ usually refers to a child between 10 and 14 being unable to commit a crime because it did not know whatever behaviour it used to land before the courts was wrong. It’s what they call a rebuttable presumption. A child between those ages can be found guilty of a crime if the court finds that the child knew the behaviour to be wrong.
Doli incapax then became almost a full defence for any indig kid in the NT, because the law-talkin’ guys worked out that they could say that kid’s mum was on the cans all the way through pregnancy. Bingo. Intellectual ‘disability’, no intent, not guilty.
They’ve started expanding the ages of doli incapax right up to adulthood now, and claiming that no matter old a crook is or what he or she has done, it’s not their fault because Mum was a pisswreck.
It’s a disgrace and fucking shameful. That bloke in Darwin slowly beat his missus to death for hours, then got her in the ocean, and then claimed she’d drowned. Should have got the mandatory 20 with zero parole, but got 12 on the bottom and out in eight. At best.
Our taxes at work.
It’s nuts to be treating a person double-jabbed as per requirements with their magic solution as though they are plague-ridden and a mortal danger to all and sundry – on the basis of a “casual” encounter with someone supposedly carrying the latest version of their ‘flu.
If they really cared about your status vis a vis the wuflu, why aren’t they doing rapid tests in hospitals, where I’d have thought speedy answers would be both necessary and advantageous to all. Common sense appears to be a vanishingly rare commodity in the “health” system.
We all know that none of this makes sense if you look at it from a genuine health perspective.
Stay on the up-side, Cassie. You’ll get through this and be back home soon.

Taboo Truths about the Covid Vaccine
You forgot antique car restorers.
They’re the worst.
Wasting the planet’s resources on some futile nostalgia trip.
JC, with the narrowbodies, it was a choice between 196os tech (Boeing 737) and 1980s tech (A320) plus the new-tech A220 (formerly the C series, which Airbus bought in 2018 from Canada’s undercapitalised Bombardier). The Airbuses (A320 + A220) are better planes; the 737 can compete only because a) it is fully written down and b) it squeezes them in like sardines – i.e., it allocates less seating space per passenger.
Plus, Qantas has always been seen as a Boeing airline, so it was able to extract a yuuuge discount from the frogs to get a foot in the door. QED.
Just checked it out…the maximum penalty for manslaughter in the NT is life.

Guys, does anyone know that from now on Officeworks and Bunnings will no longer require shoppers to show their medical passport in Vic?
It seems to me there is a cohort of the well educated professional class that has an inexplicable mortal fear of this virus. I’d have thought they would have the access to enough serious scientific papers and information coming out from various reputable and practical sources around the world to be able to make a reasoned assessment of what’s happening.
If a little old lady like me in regional Queensland can find enough information to know that it’s not worth my while to have any of these jabs, and that this virus is not an automatic death sentence, then there is no excuse for them not being able to understand the same.
Flyingduk, an experienced doctor himself, said that even of those who encounter a full viral load, only about 20% will develop symptoms. Statistically, depending on age and co-morbidities, it seems that of that 20%, mostly less than 1% will die from it.
That’s hardly Black Death territory. Yet, here we are with CHOs and politicians running around like headless chooks, causing more harm than they are capable of understanding. If they truly believe what they’re doing is for the good and wellbeing of the population, they’re too incompetent to hold any public position at all. I wouldn’t even make them dog catcher or street sweeper.
Dunno. Don’t care. I’ll never purchase anything from the fascist k*nts ever again.

Didn’t go to my previously usual Thursday pub as it is now a double jabberwok place now. Same for this following Sunday’s venue for a sub Branch meeting. Likewise the Surf Club.
Not having received an invite for anywhere else (cough rabz cough cough) got tickets for “Dune” on Sunday afternoon. Was staggered to find tickets have gone up to $9 for the pair of us
We turned the last tranche of out and about Service NSW dockets into Hoyts Vouchers. I shall be skolling Peronni during the show.
Life’s good. Staff are all I have to be nice to.
Should have phased the issue more clearly – Westfarmers shares are part of my portfolio….
Forecast for tomorrow (Forced-jab Friday)
The next pub along from me estimates his trade will drop about 40%, stone cold.
(He’s heavily into the young wanker market)
I don’t expect to lose much.
We’re going to have some issues with daytime regulars in the public bar. Many of these blokes have no idea how to demonstrate they’re vaccinated. Going to be a loooong day helping them out.
Main topic of discussion is nothing to do with vaccination, but how to survive the Gestapo.
SATP – Yeah, noticed all that. But the set seems in good condition. Furthermore the story says he got replacements after the originals were stolen, which means the ADF were in the loop. I guessed the guy was a tactical airman in support of the 8th Army, then in Burma and thereafter locally here and/or NZ. Why the Burma and African medals are backwards I don’t know but maybe that is service timeline related. As I said there’s an interesting story in all of that.
Good news, Bons.
Enjoy!

I watched one of the Big Men walk into the A&E at a remote hospital and demand to be seen ahead of the others. I told him to wait his turn and he told the rest of the patients to piss off. “Now I’m next” he smirked.
“So you are” says the Winston, and went for lunch.
His current girlfriend was on staff, pulling a wage, an unemployed benefit in her own name and another in her tribal name, while living in a guvvie house.

Haven’t been keeping track but from the scorecard earlier it looked like he and Marnus had seriously dug in against Jimmy and Broad, who were going for about a run an over in the first session. Good test match stuff, even if on the Adelaide airstrip.
I watched a few minutes, but the sight of all those jabbertards made me sick. Turned it off.
Gez.
Fair to say that the diligence of shopkeepers in rural areas in enforcing the rules has been patchy (excluding the large corporates like Bunnings).
Some got a bit red-hot on it over Cup Weekend, wary of dibber-dobber Melbourne Karens no doubt.
The 737 design elastic band has been stretched too far.
Winston you’d probably remember those old B737. The engines were long and skinny like the old 707’s. I saw a few of them flying with airlines like Merpati and the engine clearences were more than enough. Especially at 3rd world airstrips.
I have been a passenger on B737’s landing in squalls and seen wings dipping almost into the ground before flight crew stabilise and engage thrust reverse. I’d imagine the B737-400 onwards would be a stickier situation in the same conditions.
As for QF going airbus, meh. So long as we don’t get any qf72 noseovers.
It pays to be very careful about some of the ancestor’s military stories.
Some years ago now I accessed the military records of a deceased old fellow for his widow. She told me he was an artillery officer and had served in the Middle East in WW2, including the siege of Tobruk, El Alamein and had many stories of derring-do in the desert war.
When I dug up his records from the National Archives, I found that he had never served overseas, was not an officer but an enlisted gunner for an artillery battery on Rottnest Island off Western Australia.
I told the old girl that his records had been lost or destroyed. I didn’t have the heart to shatter her memories of her hero hubby.
I have heard many similar stories since those days. There were a lot of bullshit artists from WW2 who could never have conceived of digitised records and access by anyone with a computer.
Arky,
Welcome to my club.
Well, almost. Like a girly man you apologised
Unless you were being ironic.
Coming to a High Court near you
Canada has pledged up to C$40bn ($31bn; £23.6bn) in compensation for indigenous children and families who suffered discrimination while in foster care.
In September, a top court upheld a 2016 ruling that the government underfunded First Nations services compared with those for non-indigenous children.
It ordered C$40,000 ($31,350; £23,340) payouts to each child who was in the on-reserve welfare system after 2006.
I won’t watch or listen to the coverage these days. Woke rubbish gets right up my nose.
Someone told me the NSW health minister suggested NSW could see 25K cases a day by January. Dunno, but if this ends up being accurate , Victoria can’t be far behind. Would the Hunchback lock up again? I reckon he might.
Thanks, guys. So the virus knows not to go to Bunnungs but instead goes to Officeworks. It really is a [[wicked, wily virus” as Dear Leader Dan would say daily.
Yes, avoiding both like a

I’ve come to the conclusion – using the old method of removing the suppositions and embracing only the facts – that the ‘vaccine’ is being given for no other reason than to place something in our bodies we are not aware of.
Nothing else fits the facts.
Not just the blokes themselves. Families sometimes like to flower things up a bit, too.
Hi Bob!
Arky:
What about people who get pissed at parties and wear lampshades on their heads?
Why are we being left out?
Universal condemnation should include everyone.
*snif*
IIRC the WWII campaign stars are worn in an order of precedence unrelated to service eligibility timeline.
I hope so. No funding from the Feds. The 20% of people ilegally forced to get the poison are gonna go berserk.
Daniel Andrews in quarantine. LOL.
Great vaccine.
Cite you the “fine old family” who made much of their grandfathers service during the First World War. It subsequently emerged that he had been “sent home” without hearing a shot fired in anger, for catching a dose of V.D. from a Cairo whore…
Don’t get too wrapped up about it. It all comes down to the competency of the medal mounters, and they come in all shades. Many even mount the Siege of Tobruk Medal (unofficial) on official racks.
I can’t comment on the validity of the medals, but I wouldn’t make any judgement based con shitty mounting.
Telstra is a disgusting organization. It’s the most incompetent firm in Australia and the CEO is a worthless turd. He’s such a freaking phony too. Google excerpts of his bio suggest he’s a Harvard grad and so does Telstra’s bio on him. He’s not though. He’s not a Harvard graduate because all he did was attend the summer program for dummies who pay up and pretend they went to Harvard. Support is non existent unless one considers third world support to be useful.
My Great grandfather was in the 1st AIF, 2 machine gun company (1st Machine Gun Battalion). Name is in the Shrine.
I was fuckn fuming when the filthy cops desecrated the site. Unforgivable.
Just catching up on my Cat Scanning and so sorry to hear of your ridiculous ordeal, Cassie. So very sorry that its come to this. And, most likely, it is no longer about the science or actual safety, it’s about ticking a checkbox off a stupid list.
Wishing you a rapid and easier road to getting better!

I have heard many similar stories since those days. There were a lot of bullshit artists from WW2 who could never have conceived of digitised records and access by anyone with a computer.
Allegedly, in the early noughties, Archives were working to digitise and publish all the WW II records on-line (they had done this for the WW I records earlier). The project went on hold for a while, after complaints from some of the old blokes, certain medical records were a bit embarrassing.
Well done, Pedro, keeping the truth to yourself.
I’ve looked at many records at the AWM. The truth is, war was messy on many levels and often traumatic in different ways. For example, I researched one fellow (no relation) who never made it to the war in 1916. When the transport ship he was aboard crossed the equator, the hijinks of a Crossing The Line ritual led to an accident that caused him a very serious head injury. He was invalided out of any further service. I researched his subsequent life which bore the hallmarks of a man who never recovered.
Another common thing to find in WWI records is Diggers contracting VD.
As long as nobody finds out I was really a Navy Victiallimg Clek atHMAS Harman discharged for unnatural acts with the wardroom Labrador.
Or was I?
Expect I will be on takeaway coffee or instant for a few months. It might even be a chapter in my new book Goldfish Archipelago.
Heritage experts have given the green light to a controversial redesign of the interior of Notre-Dame, including possible street art and mood lighting, despite critics complaints it amounted to politically correct “vandalism” of the Gothic masterpiece.
This week 100 French historians and intellectuals blasted ‘kitsch’ the blueprint to give the interior of fire-stricken cathedral a modern makeover, exclusively revealed by The Telegraph, as “kitsch”.
Stéphane Bern, a celebrity TV presenter who the French president tasked with raising funds to save Gallic heritage treasures, joined high-profile artists and academics in signing a petition that warned the controversial plans would “gravely compromise the resurrection” of the cathedral.
However, the vote passed with only minor conditions set.
Notre-Dame was severely damaged by the blaze on April 16 2019, when images of flames engulfing the roof and toppling its 19th-century spire shocked the world.
Those parts of the building that were damaged by fire will be painstakingly restored to their former glory. However, under the new plans some areas that were relatively less affected by the disaster will undergo far greater change.
The commission approved proposals to create themed chapels on a “discovery trail”, with an emphasis on Africa and Asia, while quotes from the Bible will be projected onto chapel walls in various languages, including Mandarin and Arabicd. The final chapel on the trail will have a strong environmental emphasis.
Confessional boxes will be replaced with modern art murals, and new sound and light effects to create “emotional spaces”.
The culture ministry said that street art pioneer Ernest< Pignon-Ernest, as well as other modern artists such as Anselm Kiefer and Louise Bourgeois, are among the names being considered for display.
However, altars and classical sculptures will remain in the side chapels and the design of high-tech illuminated, removable pews faces more scrutiny.
Father Gilles Drouin, who is in charge of the interior renovation insisted there was nothing radical in the plans.
“The cathedral has always been open to art from the contemporary period, right up to the large golden cross by sculptor Marc Couturier installed by Cardinal Lustiger in 1994,” he said.
The altar will remain in place, but other items such as the tabernacle and baptistery will be rejigged, while most of the confessionals will move to the first floor, leaving only four in the main section.
Side chapels, which were in a “terrible state” even before the fire, will be entirely renovated with a focus on artworks including “portraits from the 16th and 18th centuries that will be in dialogue with modern art objects,” he told AFP.
However, the plans have sparked fury in some quarters.
Reacting to the vote, one high-placed Notre-Dame critic told The Telegraph: “In France, what is called modernisation amounts to vandalism.”
The petition in Le Figaro entitled “Notre-Dame de Paris: What the fire spared, the diocese wants to destroy” expressed horror at the plans, which it said were reminiscent of so many “‘immersive’ cultural projects where very often the inane vies with the kitsch” and risked “totally adulterating the decor and liturgical space”.
It complained that the planned makeover would “reduce to naught the patiently drawn up designs of Viollet-le-Duc”, the celebrated architect who restored the cathedral following the ravages of the French Revolution in an effort to recapture the spirit of Medieval Christianity.
“Let’s respect (his) work, let’s respect the work of artist and craftsmen who have toiled to offer us this jewel, let us simply respect the heritage principles of a historical monument,” it wrote.
However, the restoration plan has its supporters.
Henri Loyrette, heritage curator and former head of the Louvre museum, said: “One cannot imagine a reconstruction of Notre-Dame without an aggiornamento. The question is not, ‘should there be contemporary art?’, but rather, ‘what is a church today?’.
“A strictly identical renovation is a capitulation,” he told Le Monde, which said a fierce battle was underway in the French Catholic Church between “believers in modernity and ecumenism and the guardians of a nostalgic conservatism”.

Today’s fun fact:
In the past 5 years NSW Police have paid $148,210,678 to settle civil claims for assault, unlawful imprisonment, malicious prosecution, breach of statutory duty, conversion, intimidation, injurious falsehood, abuse of process, negligence, trespass etc.
That’s about $30M in payouts per year.

Happened to one Maurice Buckley, RTA to a VD hospital. Deserted, later enlisted under the pseudonym Gerald Sexton, awarded the VC under that name, but confessed to his actions, and received it under his real name.
Crows are smarter than rats, bureaucrats aren’t.
I wondered what was holding it up. The monsoon trough made a very brief appearance on one chart on the 4-day forecast then disappeared. From memory, the TC that spun off into the Coral Sea formed at the SE end of it.
Western Australian dive shop owner Jack Sue was awarded a Distinguished Conduct Medal for actions as a commando on Borneo in WW2.
In later years he wrote a book entitled “Blood on Borneo” in which he claimed to have secretly spied on the Sandakan Death March when Japanese soldiers murdered hundreds of Australian POWs.
Forensic historian Lynette Silver, an acknowledged expert on Sandakan, found that Jack had been in hospital on another island when the Death March occurred and could not have possibly seen the murders.
Despite being exposed, Jack was still a feature at Perth Anzac day marches until his death. The Sandakan BS was written off as “an old warrior’s faulty memory” or “top secret, never to be revealed”.
Lynette Silver went on to debunk a lot of the so-called Z Force exploits by digging through the obscure archives at the War Memorial in Canberra.
Doesn’t fit the bronzed Ozzie narrative, so she has pretty much been cancelled.
Who was it a coupla few years ago discovered the WWII individual service records online were horrifically error-riddled & having formed a huge team of volunteers was setting about the mammoth project of fixing them up?
First I had heard of that one, Boambee John, thank you.
He was supposed to appear in court tomorrow. But we already knew he would get out of that.
Blessed are the Bookmakers.
Sloppy work by Arky earlier. Really sloppy.
Hmmm, just checked his name again on awm.gov.au. Says he was in the 23 Infantry Battalion – 9 to 12 Reinforcements (February-April 1916). Not sure why it said 1st machine gun company in the Shrine….I need to do more research.
Lynette Silver; Sandakan, Conspiracy of Silence. and
The Bridge at Parit Sulong.
The ones that generally keep quiet are the ones who are much more interesting.
I never knew much about my grandfathers war experience till a family member dug. My dads I knew as he served on after.
I was surprised on what my GF was involved in and for nearly the entire duration and not demobed till well after. One part of his history from North Africa is still classified but they said could be quite benign. It did as an adult make me understand why he was cantankerous and very aloof to us grandchildren.
This is a link to Lynette Silver’s work on military history and a few of the more outrageous fake “heroes” she has uncovered.
Military Frauds.
WTF has ecumenism got to do with anything? It’s a Catholic Church, not a prayer room at a railway station.
Some of them are pretty inconsequential. How would no.8 send shockwaves say through the US bond market. No one gives a shit.
Are you still fielding, Armadillo?
Gawd. Word salad there. For context, GF was WWII dad was Vietnam.
My great grandfather was long gone before I came along. Although he survived the war, he died pretty young. Apparently didn’t mention the war much, the only thing I ever got told later on was that he was a small chap and use to do the running from the machine gun post, often times to come back with all his mates blown to pieces. The other thing was that he never got trench foot, which seemed to be quite lucky.
Do you think this is funny? Do you want me to accuse you of a sex crime every time you post here?
Why do you think you should be able to get away with this impunity, you old worthless sack of shit?
Can she do some work on exposing all the fake aboriginals? That would be far more useful.

There are two WW I Rolls. The Embarkation Roll lists the original unit. The Nominal Roll lists the final unit (or unit at the date of death. Both are incomplete.
The Embarkation is easily searchable, the Nominal is not. Try them, if you have no joy, publish his name and service number here, and I will give it a go. He might have been transferred at some point.
Or just go to the National Archives, and find his file. Search on name plus number, and category B2455.
I wish.
No. These German freaks do not understand America.
LOL
Eyes forward and back straight. This is actually important boomers. It could change online broadcasting and syndication.
Already happening.
Already happening, John H noted mRNA treatments for ageing cells and the ultra wealthy already eat NADH and NMN by the bucketful.
..
Yes.
I seem to remember a fair amount of discussion, when Lynette Silver revealed that the Australian nurses, murdered by the Japanese at Banka Island, had been raped before they were shot.
Okay Arky.
I know this is a tough time for you and Brett Finch.
Careful.
I have not accused anyone individual of anything.
You do that to me, I will act against you.
Retract or face consequences.
I know of the story of a couple of blokes who were New Guinea vets. They drank at the same pub everyday after returning home. They were both horribly scared with burns. Nice blokes, very quiet, but total piss pots. Pretty much “kept to themselves”. War pensioners. Everyone knew where they had been, but no one wanted to ask questions.
When one of them died in his 70’s after drinking at this pub all his life, his mate did the eulogy.
Turns out they had a stil in the jungle and were selling illicit booze to the Yanks. One night when stuffing around with the stil, it blew up in their faces.
They had both kept their “secret” the entire time. Their reasoning was that “no one ever asked what happened, so we never told them”.
You already have moron. You are just too stupid and ignorant too realise what you have done.
Stop looking at those kids out your window you freak.
Learn the difference between humour not directed at any one individual and an accusation of pederasty directed at me.
Suggest you retract, AND get a sense of humour.
What a crybully.
“I can accuse you and anyone else who identifies as the same ideology as you of sex crimes every 20th post I make, but you cannot do so towards me”
Fuck off.
It’s not humour. You are a psychotic bully trying to bully people who do not think the same as you into submission to your belief set.
Turn about is fair play.
Retract.
Last chance.
You have done the same to me, moron.
