I realise that I will be forced to take the booster gangrene shot because I am desperate to visit my daughter in the UK in March.
I’m not going to give up that chance.
I fear that the depth of frustration I feel at being a victim of these amoral, corrupt, whores is disturbing my wellbeing.
I should stand firm like Rick, but my daughter and I are close and who knows what is coming down the line? Another effort like falling onto the spa steps could be final.
I need to get over it and get on. They have beaten us and they don’t even know that I hate them, let alone care.
The only tiny meaningless fightback is to delay until the last possible day.

Assuming you’ve been jabbed, Bons…did you give them the dates? How would they possibly know you were “ready”.
Or is this just another example of ad hoc voodoo medicine?
Perhaps PonyGirl can look into the WA health system. Even for a hermit kingdom you get the feeling it ain’t too flash.
Bons, yours is a hostage situation, like Jupes. And there’s zero chance the UK will be over it before we are.
Calli. When I arrived in Casualty, the first thing they did was crawl over my vacine status.
Yeah I am jabbed because the DIL (#%*&@) locked me out from the kids unless I submitted. Frustration is that I didn’t get to see them anyway because of the Ukranian slamming the border shut.
Being jabbed has not stopped me from attending protests or developing a volcanic hatred for them.
The same baseless rubbish* was being incessantly screeched by various politico/meeja imbeciles in NSW last Christmas holiday season, when we were also gifted with a series of last minute pointless petty restrictions by Beryl Gladyschlocklian and Health Hazzard.
The foul obnoxious fascists simply can’t help themselves. I’m also expecting an announcement by Parrothead (probably late this afternoon, evening or tomorrow morning) that the restrictions won’t be lifted. Here’s hoping I’m wrong.
*Minus the descriptor “omicron”.

I up voted you. But they don’t actually care if you hate them, they only want compliance.
They win when you comply, it’s that simple.
It is frightening how many people can be lured from their rights – that others fought and sacrificed for – by slogans.
We find now that people now accept that your individual freedoms exist so you can voluntarily dedicate yourself to the collective. Holding ideas or living according to your own wits is viewed as being done at the expense of the collective, and an act of selfishness. That use of freedom is no longer seen as legitimate.
How did this happen? Fear. Fear makes people huddle together, and it would seem to work on a psychological level as well the physical.
Funny thing is that the impetus for this new, degraded grasp of freedom is a contradiction, but the fear is able to drown out any voice of dissent within the frightened. It is now widely accepted that the vaccines will not stop you from being infected. They do not flush the bug from your system , or snare the errant proteins in little nets. It merely (supposedly) makes symptoms less severe. And this makes sense, that the benefit of the treatment would be experienced by the person who has received it. Whether a person picks up the virus from someone also vaccinated or unvaccinated makes no difference. The latter is no additional threat.
And yet it is this nonsense, that vaccinated people are only saved by other people having the vaccine in their system.
How the hell is that supposed to work.
But fear keeps that question at bay, even though to ask it is to be freed from fear.

Forget plaster board. I have lost my high tech PEG feed for my stomach tube and had to go back to gravity and a pinch flow meter. In a container somewhere between Singapore and the Australian distributor apparently.
Does anyone know if there is any progress / announcements in VIC re pandemic rules post the 15th of December?
Haven’t heard anything yet, Rickw
Groogs – better screenshot that one. For the record. Show Mother too!
You can refuse to show your papers, and they can kick you out.

I don’t know what any of that means but it doesn’t sound good!
Two Melbourne nurses who have lost their jobs due to the mandates speak out.
Once the pandemic broke, they were frontline heroes, now they are unemployed and called fanatics.
But be warned: some of their stores of the cold cruelty infecting the health system will be difficult, but necessary to hear.

AS part of the Victorian Government’s new pandemic management framework, Premier Daniel Andrews has made a formal pandemic declaration applying to the State of Victoria from 11:59pm, Wednesday, December 15, 2021 until 11:59pm, Wednesday, January 12, 2022.
The declaration is made under section 165AB (1) of the Public Health and Wellbeing Act 2008 and replaces the current State of Emergency declaration, which expires at 11:59pm on 15 December and will not be extended.
That was announced 10th Dec
So just like contract law the? Except if you leave the State of Sneakerstan.
Seems ‘The Science’ ™ is a bit slippery.
I’d drop the final goodbye words, something like – “Bye then, you good little fascist”. In this case it would appropriate, because they are not forced to do that.
rickw – basically instead of an exact computer controlled pump you have a gravity feed, count the rate of drips and control it with a thumb wheel thing. No real drama but a lot less accuracy over the timing of the whole process.
The Lotus Eaters Podcast at about 14 minutes covering covid insanity in Germany is compulsory, if difficult to believe, listening.
Aside from the sackings, financial beggering, cops with meter rules and other fascism that could only be created in Europe’s leading democracy, the worst, the unbelievable worst is infant kids at school being humiliated in their classrooms on a daily basis for not being poisoned.
Hopefully those poor little ones will carry that memory into adulthood and act accordingly.

Mr Health Hazzard is not known for his accuracy, unfortunately. I expect the NSW Libs are tied in knots right now between extremely angry freedom deplorables and the Karenist we-must-panic lobby. When I went for treadly ride this morning at about 9:30am the car queue for the crud testing station was so long that it was causing a 2 km long traffic jam on the main road.

Not sure who it was that was affected by the 6month exemption after COVID – if not you, apologies. – but there was some suggestion by someone that this exemption may no longer apply after a PCR.
The official vic COVID site still says that there is immunity for ‘at least’ 6 months after COVID, and exemptions apply for 6 months.
There is an AIR form to fill in and for the doc to sign.
(Keep them form as evidence – don’t leave it with the doc who can inform authorities with electronically – since it takes weeks for other kinds of authorisations to come to pass. )
I suspect that the 6 month exemption will not be around for long because there will be too many people who have had COVID so natural immunity won’t be tolerated, not even for 6 months, given that there are millions of vials in storage to be dispensed-with.
Even the BBC implied the deceased was already in hospital.
BTW anyone know why the cfmeu are picketing csr?boral? on Whitehall Street? Lots of blokes on comfy chairs under tents.
And there are still some who argue frontline health workers shouldn’t have to be vaxxed. For shame.

It would be rather nice if the vaccinated would stop their keening on here. You complied with a suddenly more and more totalitarian government. You may have had reasons that sounded good to you. But you bent over the fascists.

Your unappreciative attitude towards the virtual support I have sent your in my thoughts and prayers if not actual concrete actions, is exactly the thing I was looking for in order to decide you unvaxxed slobs are getting precisely what you deserve, you rude bastards.

Some resistance being organised to the north:
A group of Polish citizen-intellectuals recently made a public declaration against the encroaching new world order being ushered in through anti-COVID measures. Church Militant’s Martina Moyski tells more about the citizens’ efforts and why their project is named with a nod to the military tribunals following World War II prosecuting those committing crimes against humanity.
Reiner Füllmich, German attorney: “I am convinced that the only way to end this is by the people rising up and telling the authorities that this is the end of the line.”
Polish intellectuals are putting their heads together for the purpose of exposing and prosecuting the perpetrators of suffering and death resulting from government COVID policies. Calling themselves “Nuremberg 2.0,” they are targeting large multinationals in the tech, banking and pharmaceutical fields, who have undertaken an overhaul of our world, destroying the health, wealth and lives of billions of people.
German attorney Reiner Füllmich, who has worked with Robert Kennedy Jr. and Dr. Robert Malone and who was a guest speaker at the project’s inauguration, explains what the group is up against.
Füllmich: “We are dealing with megalomaniac psychopaths and sociopaths who must be stopped. … People worldwide are waking up … even if the mainstream media are trying to hide this.”
The launch of the project comes as tyrannical lockdown measures are raining down on the unvaccinated throughout Europe, with vaccine mandates having befallen even Catholic Poland.
European Union president Ursula von der Leyen, whose husband is said to have ties to a corporation creating cell-based COVID vaccines, is inching toward a trans-European vaccine mandate.
Von der Leyen’s comments quickly got tagged as a violation of the Nuremberg Code — in particular, the clause “the voluntary consent of the human subject is absolutely essential.”
Dr. Jordan Peterson quipped, “Hey, it’s just the Nuremberg Code. Only what we learned from the Nazi atrocities, not least those that were medical.”
For where justice is to be found, Füllmich is clear — it’s not the courts of law, because they are so infiltrated by the other side that there needs to be a whole new judicial system. The Nuremberg 2.0 members underscored that it is a duty to resist authority that threatens the dignity of the human person, the truth and natural laws.

Um, no. Brad, I don’t give a crap about what some scumbag politician thinks is fair or selfish or what is and isn’t “OK”. What, you’re some kind of paragon of fairness and selflessness, Brad? I wonder how many people you’ve trampled on and screwed over to get to where you are today. Was all of that manoeuvring you engaged in to become a cabinet minister in the NSW government fair, totally unselfish and “OK”? And let’s not forget what you’re currently doing to maintain and enhance your position? Do you meet the standards you’re demanding from me? Rhetorical questions since everyone knows their answers.
Go fuck yourself, you ridiculous finger-wagging hypocrite.

That site you mentioned is only garden path ‘advice’.
The official position (mad though it is) holds that vaccination after COVID should not occur, even after 6 months, if COVID symptoms persist. Cough cough.
John of Mel
Aus gov site binding on states.
Your doc may not be aware of site and what is permitted. (We are permitted to be immune, I ask you.)
Anyway, which state- if vic, then, all ok to go with the AIR form, Australian immunisation register.
Echnidas
And they are reusable.
Just give up your current views and get vaccinated, Calli. Also, stop asking questions because it’s selfish and unfair to healthcare workers and not okay and stuff.
And it’s probably not just healthcare workers affected – let’s throw children, victims of domestic violence, refugees, the homeless, pensioners, Aboriginals, single mothers, non-whites, the disabled, welfare recipients, sex workers and any other sympathy group you can think of into the mix as well. So selfish and unfair. Not okay.

Gosh, if only there was a simple solution to the dangers presented by counterfeit ivermectin.
Given that -iiuc – the vaccinated with “breakthrough” infections can carry similar viral loads to the unvaccinated and be just as infectious, even though in both instances they can be asymptomatic, perhaps we should just close the hospitals to all non-emergency cases as was done in lockdown. It’s not fair to health workers. Eh, Brad?
This is awesomely awful.
Pinched from instapundit,.
American figures…
Headline one for me is the inter-generational misery index: IE, self harms by kids.
“We had tripling of medical visits to doctors by teenagers for self-harm in the United States compared to the previous year. What does that mean? That means these are kids putting out cigarettes on their skin, slashing their wrists out of the isolation,” he insisted. “It’s the lockdowns that did this. It’s the isolation. It’s not the virus. The isolation was caused by the grossly wrong public health advice. And this is going to take decades to solve.”
….
We had 650,000 people with cancer on chemotherapy. Half of them skipped their chemo just during the spring of 2020 out of fear. We had 85% of living organ transplants did not get done compared to the previous year. We had two-thirds of cancer screenings did not get done. These people still have cancer.”
Not sure. I just assumed that as the orders were extended to Jan 12, the same rules/mandates/insanity/whatever apply.
Eat.A.Dick you lardarse
I’m guessing the mandates for children will be announced.
That was my understanding too Gab. I posted it here a few minutes after the news release but there was no response.
Understandable as the creature wasted no time in showing his hand and it was totally expected. You are at his whim and mercy and nothing will stop him extending it after the January deadline.

What no-one is asking is, what is the benchmark for declaring a pandemic ‘over’? Who decides?
At the moment with the BS that’s going on, it will never be over.
Or maybe world wide uprising is required…..
Sure thing once there’a vaccine available that hasn’t been produced or tested using aborted fetal cell lines.
I don’t get the griping by people against those who have had the vaccine but are prepared to denounce the tyrannical ambits from politicians, spruikers, spivs, etc.
There seems to be this singular devotion to the image of a dwindling band of ‘purebloods’ making a desperate stand atop some hill. This is the fight. It is the only fight. Everybody else is a sell out.
Romantic – in a ‘Boys Own’ sort of way. Perhaps.
Perhaps their forlorn but glorious last moments will inspire others – woops, most of those others are sell outs, so I am not sure who it is meant to appeal to.
But its not the only battle. Not even one you could expect to win. The numbers are simply against you – if you insist on making it unvaxxed vs vaxxed. There is too much to do. Make all those people who foist this appalling state of affairs upon us pay. It doesn’t have to end at 95% or anything. Let all those smug brown stains on seats in Parliament be your prey. Remind everyone of what they did, of how these ‘leaders’ forced people to get the jab by imposing such terrible choices upon them, playing on their fear for the future, their love of each other, their security, their incomplete knowledge – thanks to the conjurors’ tricks of political leaders, talking heads, and battalions of experts etc.
Different people have made their own choices as to whether to take the vaccine. I have absolutely no problem with this. I have not been vaxxed. I hope I will not have to, but there are some things that I hold dearer to me than looking heroic.
And for all the purity of not being jabbed and arguing against it, there is also a moral cache in being a person who has had the jabs but, rather than deciding that since they have paid for their place to just go along with it, instead stand against the mandates and passports because they don’t have to make that choice: It is a principle.
Anchor What:
Exactly.
This is what the whole Transgender thing is about. When the State can force you to believe a man can get a Pap Smear because he identifies as a woman, or it’s snowing and people are dying from cold because “Global Warming”, then Jews/Unvaccinated can be declared disease carriers and need to be in special camps ‘for their own good’.
Have the state premiers ordered cancer to halt its progression until an announcement in January?
Premiers do not slight cancers.
Professional courtesy.
Sitting in Pitt Street Mall today while my darling wife was shopping. There was a bint and camera man from Sky interviewing passing punters. Most interviews took a minute or two. I was curious – was she asking silly Christmas questions or serious political questions? I got up and moved next to her while she interviewed some bloke but just as I arrived, the interview finished and she turned to me.
Me: Are you asking silly Christmas questions or political questions?
Bint: You will have to agree to an interview to find out.
Me: Okay.
Bint: Are you here doing Christmas shopping?
Me: No. Just shopping.
Bint: What do you think of Omicron?
Me: It is the common cold. There should be no restrictions whatsoever over a harmless disease.
Bint: (Lowers microphone) Thankyou.
Me: I thought that would happen.
I don’t think I’ll make the news tonight.
…
LOL nice dead cat strategy Buzzard you scumbag.
Hazzard shook hands with a covid ‘case’ in NSW parliament and magically didn’t have to self isolate when people elsewhere in the building did.
Not selfish.
I get the feeling Hazzard is in a RAGE that a couple of ratbag NSW
studentscitizens may manage to hold out, duck and weave and ‘win’ against his personal reign of complete school teacher authority over every person in NSW.Back in the old days he’s the teacher that got sweaty and licked his lips when whipping boys bums with the cane.
Dead baby parts you say, thems good eatin’
From wiki.
In August 2019, Brad Hazzard came out in support of removing abortion as a criminal offence (after 119 years within the NSW Crimes Act 1900 section(s) 82–84)[22] via a bill he co-sponsored with 14 others of all different political parties and independents.[23][24] The bill passed the parliament on 26 September 2019.
Just another baby mincing moral pervert.
Merry Christmas, from the Australian Taxation Office. You owe us a shedload of money…
You are so unnewsworthy Jupes.
Indeed, Struth. You leave great, big, steaming ‘duties’ every time you post here about how poor and heroic you are, and how everyone else is a collaborating Nazi pooftah-pansy who is a lesser being than you because they are not you…
Arky,
My most fulsome apologies. I should have used imperatives but it always been my practice to only give orders when there is a good chance of someone actually following them.
Ha ha. I hope so.
2 weeks
2 jabs
turns into
2 years
3 + jabs.
People may need three jabs to use controversial Covid passports for entry to large venues by January, the Health Secretary warned last night. Sajid Javid told the Commons that people will only be considered ‘fully vaccinated’ once they have had their booster, and that three doses will be required for vaccine passports once all eligible adults in England have had ‘a reasonable chance’ to get another jab.
Who could have possibly seen this coming…. well at least this will be the last one.. right.. right??
Where are all these extra syringes made?
Which of out elf bureaucrats and/or politicians is making a killing (so to speak)?
..
Now you’re getting it.
All we had to do was: nothing.
Just nothing.
Just wait, and the omicron would have come along, some old biddies would have snuffed it, like they do every year.
But nooooooooooooooo.
You felt the need to do something.
Here’s the tip: statistically, 95.667% of the time the correct action is to do nothing.
Motherlode the absolute heaven and earth that are being moved to ensure 100% of people are vaccinated no matter how much the don’t want it, pretty much says that it is the only battle. They think so anyway.
They know full well once people get the ‘jab’ the fight starts to leave them.
And what next battle is there? The next one will be identical to this one: get the jab or we’ll ruin your life and run you out of society. Except then they’ll have the added benefit of saying: “you took those ones, so why not this one? Clearly you have no problem with it, so you’re just being SELFISH.”, etc, etc.
Mother Lode,
You just wrote that to annoy me.
If you make a decision that has catastrophic side effects a decently brought up person would endeavour to rectify it.
Only good manners to own your stuff ups.
Please don’t for a moment think I’m suggesting I have had the benefit of a better upbringing than others when I remind them of their manners.
Now back on topic Mad Brad Hazardous-To-Citizens can kiss my arse.
With 95% of the population compliant that would have to count as a loss. You certainly cannot turn vaxxed people into unvaxxed for this battle.
But you might make them arc up at the boosters. You might make them angry about what they were forced to do.
It is what we do now, from the options we have now, that counts.
Here’s the tip: statistically, 95.667% of the time the correct action is to do nothing.
93.7% of the time that advice will be correct.
Calli:
Leave it long, Calli.
Just make sure they are all aware of why you’re doing it.
Let’s put it this way, how useful would Nancy Wake have been had she just refused to get papers just because they were German issued. How long would she have lasted had she refused to show her papers when asked? I doubt we’d even know her name.
Destroyed people offer little resistance. Those who are able to keep their jobs, but are sympathetic, are far more useful in the longer term. A mix is ideal.
Arky,
I agree with your sentiments but 88.3% of stats are wild guesses, to put it mildly.
Also, at the moment there is a residual group of normal old fashioned people who the system must make allowances for. A reminder of what ‘normal’ was. No matter how much the system hates and grumbles about it, it must still allow provision for normal old fashioned pre-2020 type people to engage with it: enter hospitals, buy food, go to school etc.
If everyone throws in the towel, those provisions will be swept away. There will simply be no concept of being ‘unvaccinated’ aka ‘normal’, in these systems anymore.
If that makes no sense try and get a child into daycare having missed a single one of the dozen + ‘jabs’ mandated for them. There is no official way to do it, there is no state approved way around it, there are no exceptions except near-death, the system says ‘no jab no play’ and that’s that.
Here’s some examples:
I) A disgusting, drunken hag comes up to you in the pub and sleazes onto to you. Correct action- none.
2) You come across a horrific scene: a petrol tanker has overturned and caught fire onto Dan Andrews. Correct action- none.
3) Your landlady asks you for twenty years to cut back that vine. Correct action- none.
4) Your boss asks you to induct this young feminist vegetarian save the dugongs activist into your work. Correct action- none.
5) You have put the last, perfect, coat of paint on, with no runs, but you feel the need to add another coat. Correct action- none.
6) The state asks you to inject some random shit into yourself in order to stay free. Correct action- none.
No. But the first paragraph of your post reminded me of something that I have seen too much of.
Sorry, but catastrophic side effects are in reality still, in absolute terms, rare. Higher than not being vaxxed I will grant you, but not occurring in a high proportion of shots. The ones that do occur are pretty nasty, and even a single fatality is reprehensible, but that is not the same as being common.
I don’t have to whip myself into a frenzy to engage in conflict. The enemy is not some great boogey man. Don’t have to immerse myself in the imagery of the old soviet propaganda posters to feel there is a reason to fight. But perhaps that is just me.
It actually crossed my mind that, after the French Army was defeated, it was the Resistance that took the fight to the Germans. A longer campaign, less glorious, but determined to win.
Mater,
If the Frogs had stood up for themselves Nancy Wake wouldn’t have been heard of.
If her papers hadn’t been forged the British she would have had none.
If wishes were horses beggars would ride.
If people would own their decisions there would be no quibbles.

Wokdocter:
Of course.
The new CMO had a brother die of the OmiGod Variant? and he’s out to virtue signal to the world just how much it has affected him and, by God! you will do as I say! or else!
Mother Lode,
That is a rather different view of history as I know it.
I think it had been discussed here before.
Did Nancy Wake use German-issued papers or did she use PDF editor?
Sorry Mother Lode, should have been addressed to Mater.
You have a whole range of tools to enable you to do nothing:
The bullshit excuse.
The run away and hide in the toilet.
The stonewall.
The point blank refusal.
The angry ranting finger pointing and blame shifting.
The dig in right where you are and refuse to move.
The shaggy dog story.
The crash the car into a kindergarten distraction technique..
The over- friendly sleaze on and apparent compliance while making the other party too uncomfortable to ask again if you ever actually complied.
The lie that you did it but lost the paperwork.
The ongoing computer technical issues.
Speaking for myself, I have never seen a person whip themselves in to a frenzy. It is on my bucket list.
Arky,
It was like that when I got here.
I saw that used in an educational tv show.
Hi twostix,
You describe it as having thrown in the towel, as if people have given up all claim to fight. The image would blind a person to seeing that people, even jabbed, might fight back.
There have been occasions when people have endured oppression and finally rounded on their tormentors.
As things are, how do you think the ‘purebloods’ might win?
It’s not 95%. NSW with it’s crippling beatdown of holdouts is barely at 93% of adults, QLD is at 80% and these numbers are fairly suspicious. It’s somewhere near but they’ve been ‘nudging’ us with these numbers make no doubt.
Yes, agree and I hope so, but without a large group of people who haven’t taken it at all, and are still holding out and ensuring that the ‘old normal’ still exists in some sense how much harder that will be.
As is the battle for everyone is “drop these new painful ways and modes of operation and continue with the existing ones that are still there”.
If everyone gives in the battle becomes: “we want to abolish this huge new system you’ve created, and go back to the old system and processes that are shelved and not in use anymore” – which as we know from 40 years of ‘conservative’ failure, never, ever happens.
The number of times I’ve been partnered up with some dolt who thought you actually had to do what they ask you to do.
“Are they actually going to check”?
“Probably not, but we better do it anyway”.
“Does this task make any sense to you. At all”?
“No, but we’re supposed to,sign this pro forma and return it to Lucy tonight”.
“Have you ever seem Lucy do any actual work”?
“Ummmmmm”.
“Does this in any way shape or form help you do the real work we do when we’re not being screwed around by these morons any better”.
“Look I think we better just do it”.
I keep saying to people that I expect to see an uptick in aviation “incidents” as planes aren’t meant to sit on the ground for months on end:

Just in case there is any doubt about Google’s evility (neologism by me) every time I create a new tab it brings up a list of my most visited sites – allegedly.
Yep, Catallaxy Files is there – but it is Ye Olde site, and the link is to Trove. Someone there has decided to block this site.
Hrrumph!
Anyway, the reason I came here was to highlight a very confused story at TheirABC about a proposed coal mine expansion in the Hunter Valley.
On and on goes this poorly-written, confusing heap of mashed potato about how this group says this, another says that, and a third person disagrees with all of them.
Tom, don’t read it. It will add nothing to the sum of human knowledge and just make you cranky.
But, the message is clear. Coal mining is bad.
Worse still, they always not only do the useless make work bullshit task, they insist on talking about it and trying to make sense of it.
People are retards.
Yes, but from now, how do you think the final victory will be achieved?
I also think it is unfair to think that people who have had the jab are now just drones with neither the will nor the legitimacy to fight back.
Besides, I don’t care if people have been jabbed. I do care that they do not want passports, apartheid, and a repeat of this lock up lock down nonsense. That is the issue. A lot of vaxxed people will oppose that. Calling them names and characterising them as detritus will probably just put them off.

You’re all just experiencing what I experienced in schools for the last twenty years.
You poor, poor dears still think there’s a way back.
It’s cute, and tragic and a little bit funny.
Interesting, Joh. This one comes up on my list but not Dash, which I lurk at constantly. And CL’s.
Also, Gab’s Twitter! And I’m not even on it. But I have a peek…a lot.
Insiders are valuable tools.
Non-vaxxed are now unable to be insiders.
I’m getting lots of information from vaxxed insiders. I’m not getting so much from those who have lost their jobs.
All I’m saying, as I have previously, is that a small portion of the population who have been sidelined from society, are no longer capable of creating many ripples by themselves. Better to be in the tent pissing out, than outside trying to piss in.
Far better to team up based on mutual abhorrence of mandates.
My advice: find the small group of people who think the shit is as crazy as you do and give each other moral support.
And deploy all those tactics I list above to get yourself through until escape is possible.
I’m not joking just because I’m putting it in humorous terms.
I am off to my preferred sock purveyor, Lowes, tomorrow.
Lowes sell a very good heavy duty sock consisting of wool, bamboo and a synthetic. Can’t get it anywhere else. I will be there with debit card aloft tomorrow.
My temporary inconvenience is nothing compared to the fact that Lowes, and others outside the Charmed Circle, were closed down due to the fake pandemic panic.
What was done to small and medium sized businesses outside the Charmed Circle is the worst case of political and economic bastardry in my lifetime. 🙁
A vaccinated super spreader event.

Oops. Should be:
Everything there’s best in wear for men and boys.
Doing nothing is what we are doing.
Doing nothing, except, of course, shopping and dining and being entertained and hoping it will all go away, or at least stay away until after the holidays.
After which time we can continue doing nothing while our children are offered on the altars of safety.
Correct. I personally felt the need to do this:
However, Comrade Sneakers felt a need to act on his supposed political mandate by making it very difficult to have a paying job unless I was made to have several innoculations, none of which favourably matched any of my personal risk assessments or medical understanding (The nearest option is currently the beneficiary of the Bureaucratic Slow-Walk) but which made Comrade Sneakers feel secure.
Let’s go, Mark…

Better still, leave the idiots in the tents pissing everywhere and get a taxi home.
Omicron Could Be Natural Vaccine for Unvaccinated – Prof. Eleanor Riley (University of Edinburgh)
Adem is still going off at Dan on twitter! 😛
(How is this not huuuge news in MSM?)
Indolent @3.30pm
No, no. Look at MY new clean green car!
Twostix, whilst I take your point and I note you’ve been pretty spot on so far, you also need to take into account the injuries each vaccine is causing. People who are in love with vaccines in general are now experiencing the same injury/gaslighting process that parents of vaccine injured children have suffered for two decades.
Overseas experience (Israel, the US) appear to show a significant leakage after the second dose. I doubt the US will be able to get anywhere near half their population to take the boosters (it’s one seventh so far, and only one sixth of 5-11 year olds have gotten it).
Australians and Europeans are more brainwashed so we’ll have to wait and see (and hope).
That’s a silly outline of the situation. The end of this nasty and ugly war on ‘unvaccinated’ people is naturally the goal for everyone. Knowing that ‘unvaccinated’ will soon formally include booster-refusers.
People shouldn’t have to wonder if they’ll be allowed to see their hospitalised children.
Or feed their families.
Or even buy food.
The “win” state is the absence of the nasty vicious assault on the dwindling group of people who refuse to get ‘jabbed’ and the endless campaign of new and shiny ways to ruthlessly punish people who don’t want what they’re selling. And make no mistake once this group is gone, ‘double jabbed’ will simply become the new ‘anti-vaxxers’ being banned from life and threatened daily by the AMA and government ministers.
I’m not saying they’re drones. But we’re all seeing people who were once hardcore against, get the ‘jab’, accept the passports then start to get fairly comfy with the new normal. It’s not a given but it most definitely is a natural progression and there’s no point in pretending it doesn’t happen. It happens with every social movement. It’s natural for people refusing to get with the program to see that then try and fortify themselves and everyone against it – sometimes with silly carry on but that’s what it is.

This has never made any sense.
So there’s this tent, and people are pissing everywhere, including into it, and you want to be in this tent?
In the piss tent?
Of course they are, Chad Thunderbrain.
Please do find me a single documented and demonstrated case where Measles/Mumps/Rubella did indeed cause Autism.
Or is that merely emotional trauma and petty weakness, too?
C’mon Thunderbrain, it’s either all in the victim’s head or it isn’t. If it is, you are as arrogant, petty and disdainful as you sound.
And if it isn’t, then not a single one of the dogmas you rely on as a basis for your gnosticism work.
P.S. Calling me an imbecile means you already lost…
Lysander. Agree apparently quite a few parked up round Brisbane airport and keep in mind what is usually short cutted when cashflow becomes poor. Heard a few very ordinary stories of what Qantas is serving up recently.
Funny Jo how the native title claim this mob claimed was discontinued and is still being sqabbled over with neighboring tribes. Bet the ABC failed to mention that. I am seeing native title in cases where it has been well and truly extinguished on freehold or by those with tenuous claims more and more being used as weapon.
It is where the piss is.
Just don’t step on the Wet Bar. That seems to upset people…
The harder they crack down and the crazier they get the more there will be black markets and alternative lifestyles and people making their way outside their shitty and corrupt systems.
(US) Hospitals Dropping Vax Mandate Due To Labor Shortages, Court Order
Not sure we are in such disagreement as it might have seemed.
My original point, twostix, was regarding those on the hill staying pure were not going to achieve anything.
The goal is for people who want to be left alone and make their own decisions be left alone to do just that.
For them to be left alone they will need the ‘sell outs’ and ‘bum-boys of the fascist junta’ or what ever to take their side as well. So no point dismissing the vaxxed as useless at best, complicit at worst.
If you’re asking that question perhaps you’d be interested in this bridge I’m selling for cheap? Dan is the right people, so MSM will do jack shit.
I don’t mind that. It’s when he starts to legislate to me to suck mine that I get excited.

No, no, no, nope.
If a few sheepishly return to the side of reason and righteousness, all well and good. But no one needs flicking anyone.

Everything government touches, has an adverse effect. You’d think they’d have learnt now to just. not. touch. anything.
But no, they’ve got to meddle.
They can’t imagine anything without them in it.
It is not just in the way that you cannot imagine a piece of scenery without imagining a point that your are seeing it from.
More like the way that histrionic teenagers talk about suicide but do so by imagining everybody else feeling guilty and miserable about causing it.
They’re building a factory to make Moderna jabs but wouldn’t build a single ward to house covid patients.

The big love of her life was this chap. Here he is with the lady herself. He was repudiated to have the biggest dick ever in Hollywood.

As for his other feature, I thought that was David Niven.

Perhaps that was “was” rather than “had”. He certainly had a reputation for parsimony.

End-of-the-worlders, I’ve just munched down on some Vita Weet multigrain crackers with butter and locally made Port Salut cheese. Delicious.
I do hope that in between standing on street corners with signs, among other hugely successful marketing techniques, the End of the Worlders avail themselves of some of the soon-to-disappear luxuries, or would that be traitorous?
Popped in to Dan Murphy’s Queanbeyan yesterday and, intrigued by the stories about champagne shortages, scanned the shelves.
No shortage of Moet, and The Widow vintage was 20% off. There are plenty of cashed up tradies etc around here.
I suspect that the stories about ‘shortages’ of champagne are just another BS marketing ploy.
Also, lots of local fizz is very good, and getting better.
Petersens is my favourite local fizz.
I saw some program the other night where one character astonishes another by telling them that in Holland Santa Claus has an African slave called Black Pete.
I assumed Black Pete was a young (boy) helper who was black from slithering up and down chimneys.
According to Wikipedia it is even older than that – a motif inherited from the pagan days of the Vikings, where Odin would go out on a hunt and he had two ravens who would listen at people’s chimneys (or at least the hole in the roof where the smoke got out) and report back what they heard. Later these ravens became fire scorched demons forced into servitude, apparently a common image in Germanic Europe, and as a contrary counterpart to the more benevolent Santa.
Hollywood is such a shit hole. They have a few manias and absolutely no sense of joy or wonder. Which is kind of sad. When I was a kid movie stars lived deliriously exotic lives unabashed and unlimited – and we vicariously loved it. Now they are a strangely puritanical aunt with a strange fetish about not wasting electrons by having too many lights on at night.

Cronkite
I was led to a piece about her in the New Yorker. I know, the leftist rag doesn’t deserve a single click. The piece reckons she was rug munching too. I read it after I posted the question to you.
Here, I read it to spare you the pain.
I was curious also where she lived in NYC and looked it up. One of my kid’s pals lived there. Garbo’s apartment building is terrific and this leads to real estate porn as there’s an apartment listed there for $12 million.
I think Kissinger lives or lived there too.
One blurb says that the building is very LGBTQ friendly, so you’d be fine there , Cronkers.

I just looked up Gilbert. Wiki reckons Louis B. Mayer was responsible for the poor reviews and “squeaky voice” story. Apparently he did his roles in RP and it sounded odd to American ears.
Petersens does big reds in the Hunter, but some cooler climate reds from Mudgee.
BUT – if you are venturing to Dam Nurphy’s, keep an eye open for Dubonnet – it will be in the section near vermouth but is not vermouth. A glass with ice, a generous splash of the drink, and sitting somewhere breezy. And in the shade. A nice afternoon on a warm day.
Well, works for me.
“With 95% of the population compliant that would have to count as a loss. You certainly cannot turn vaxxed people into unvaxxed for this battle”.
You can keep their children pure.

Q’landers, help please.
A few days ago the Green across the Street was crowing about the massive windfarms being installed in the state forest behind Gympie. He appeared to imply that because it was state land all was kosher.
Then yesterday I read about the same event in the state forests behind Cairns.
The few photos I have seen show horrendous destruction on the ridgelines and for access roads. Sort of “we had to destroy the village to save it” philosophy it seems.
But all is OK, no firebreaks were created we are assured.
Does anyone recall this outrage being publically announced or any plans being published for community consultation?
Calm laddie, calm!
Is Hazzard talking about the thousands of health workers he made redundant that can now no longer treat the sick piling up from the clot shot?
So you took the jab, choo choo man, explains a lot.
Mother lode, your argument is that it is no big deal to take the first jab, and we “purebloods” as you call us cannot hope to achieve any success now without you.
While the last part is now true, (but you won’t be fully vaxxed for long) that logic is so flawed and I think you know it.
Firstly, we are in a more dire situation because you did take the jab, and all of this could well have been over now if no one had complied.
Because people did, they felt empowered to jab children.
That’s not on my head, sport.
You seem to calculate the risks and benefits of taking the jab only on how it effects you personally, and not others or the nation.
Yes we need you now, we need as many as possible, but that does not justify taking the jab which has so many consequences for others bar yourself, including the death of children.
Now that may be fighting words, and I say it to spark outrage because compliance has emboldened tyranny and they are now KILLING CHILDREN because people complied.
So as much as you want to brush off compliance as irrelevance in the big picture, it most certainly is not and it has consequences for others, your nation and the children of the nation.
But it’s done.
So lets move on, because you’ll either be dead by continuing to be jabbed, or in a few months your green tick will go red and you’ll be back down with the purebloods anyway.
The compliance has caused untold death and misery and plenty more of it to follow even if they stopped jabbing today.
They won that propaganda battle, which may have already won them the war, or it may not have.
You didn’t do a good thing for yourself or others.
Stop trying to excuse it and lets move on.
The flesh is weak and no one is perfect and the pressure was overwhelming, but facts are facts.
Lets unite, forget who has done what now, for all will be unjabbed in a few months anyway.
Lets stop looking back now. What is done is done.
We still haven’t agreed with who the bloody enemy is yet, and how to fight them.
Bons, I find that hard to believe that about sheilas. It’s possible for dudes but not sheilas.
Yep, My youngest and his mates all hate what’s going on but if they quite they will be giving up chance to change thing in the future when they are in charge.
It’s only one tactic, all depends on the individuals circumstances.

It actually explains nothing. You would have looked for any excuse at all to try and publicly disdain me, for that is the sort of hollow, violently insecure un-man you are.
I mean, look at your screed above. All about how wonderful and pure and hard-done-by poor Struth is. And just how low the rest of we untermenschen (since you have a sudden hard-on for the Nazi and fascist imagery of late) are for lacking your blood-purity. And worse, somehow having the temerity to be complicit in the inconveniencing of your poor, so-superior-it-is-a-terrible-moral-burden existence.
Now either tell me to Repent (or call me a N****r/Rabbi/[Insert Bird-word Of Choice Here]) or fuck off with the cheap, discount-Bird act.
