Disgusting.
The gall of some people to ask a question! !!!
This morning showed many people so much
How dare struth ask a question.
Oh the outrage.
Oh dear …..thou doth protest too much.
Funny shit this morning.
It’s THE question that can’t be answered wirhout admitting you’re a fuckwit.
Did I expect the response?
Most certainly.
You either keep injecting yourself with poison or you become rhe great unjabbed with us anyway.
All you achieveis was two years of no freedom anyway and empowered tyranny….and killed yourself early.
Certainty the booster will quicken that outcome as that young conductor found out this morning.
Not real fuckung bright kiddies.
No wonder you don’t want to answer the question.
No wonder the vile spitty spits and tears because I asked it.
Oh what a tangled web we weave when first we practice to …..comply.

What Breadvan Man doesn’t realise is that the majors will run through every one of Fat Cloive’s candidates looking for overt sexism, racism and poofter bashing and then run it on high rotation.

Look. The majors deserve a shitrain of black propaganda the likes of which we have never seen.

I mean this sincerely St Ruth.
You are probably best not to run for the Fat Cloive Party.
Because you will fuck up.
And I mean that in a nice way.
You will almost certainly do something that Fat Cloive doesn’t like.
And he is not a good man to have as an enemy.
What does Faulty think?
Has he explained how you could use electoral officers for “the cause”?

But he is an excellent public speaker and looks good in a suit.

It could be said that the procession of nuffy microphone-seizers at the recent urban rallies thought they were excellent public speakers as well.

It could also be said that Malcolm Turnbull looks good in a suit. Both make unwarranted demands, dream of control over others and excel at D Grade soapboxery from the pulpit.

True.
The reality is, though, they and the MSM will be looking to nobble Fat Cloive.
That is why, if he has any sense, he will be vetting the social media of potential candidates for signs of “COWS in the kitchen” or “dirty wogs” or “Jewish bankers”.
This happens all the time.
It is usually a Liberal running in a safe Labor seat who hasn’t been vetted properly.
“Who cares?” they say. “The seat is unwinnable and he’s an enthusiastic young Nazi who has a team who can hand out our Senate HTVs”.
Until it all blows up and they are fighting rearguard actions for days at the height of the campaign.

there’s no such thing as a bad hangover

This is a vicious lie.

Bunky Mortimer’s Hangover Guide.

Article describes the three types of hangover in order of severity: the physical, the mental and then the psychological of which

Needless to say, it is the very worst version. Yours is an empty husk of an existence. Everything you have ever done is wrong. In the words of Talleyrand, your life is worse than a failure; it is a mistake. You have torn everyone who reached out to you. God help the beast in me, you think, knowing that He won’t.

Our great shared culture provides abundant reminders that you are not alone. Among the best of these is the word onrust. From the Dutch for “unrest,” it communicates a vague, creeping shame at the previous 12 hours.

Too many times whimpering in bed.

A veteran of the Great Convoy who didn’t run away until almost the very last minute.

Kingsley Amis wakes Lucky Jim to the consequences of alcoholic excess:

“Dixon was alive again. Consciousness was upon him before he could get out of the way; not for him the slow, gracious wandering from the halls of sleep, but a summary, forcible ejection. He lay sprawled, too wicked to move, spewed up like a broken spider-crab on the tarry shingle of the morning. The light did him harm, but not as much as looking at things did; he resolved, having done it once, never to move his eyeballs again. A dusty thudding in his head made the scene before him beat like a pulse. His mouth has been used as a latrine by some small creature of the night, and then as its mausoleum. During the night, too, he’d somehow been on a cross-country run and then been expertly beaten up by a secret police. He felt bad.”

Just spent several hours reading transcript of early December interview of Joe Rogan with Dr. Peter McCullough. It was worth it.

While it seems McCullough called Omicron too early as having low transmissibility, many puzzling aspects of Covid and the vaccines were explained.

For example, the perennial question re why vaccines adversely affect some, and not others : he says it is the same as for Covid itself – some are adversely affected by the spike protein, not others. Possibly due to health of individual immune systems. He also suggests that if you have hit Covid hard with early treatment, you possibly don’t get enough spike protein to develop a high tiger – explaining why up to 50% may receive negative results after exposure. The high incidence of myocarditis in the vaccinated may be because the lipid nanoparticles are taken up more readily in the heart (as well as the ovaries and adrenals).

I had that happen to me a couple of weeks ago. Lady Bracknell mixed up comments about herself and comments about her underwear, (neither of which I was involved in), and demanded that I produce my Bona Fides if I were to continue to be published on this blog.

Much mirth ensued resulting in a Tsunami sized flounce.

Had a little fire start from the manifold that set the dust and chopped lentil trash on fire just above the battery box. They all start there.
The header then dropped little fires along the harvested row.
The extinguisher on the header put that fire out and then we raced up and down the paddock putting out small spot fires.
All good now and back home to let the blood pressure settle.

Salvatore, Understaffed & Overworked Martyr to Border Closure

All I want is one of the double jabbed to give me the pros and cons as they see it.

In the land of the double-jabbed there are a million different stories.

Re my industry colleagues:

Pro:

Comply with govt mandate to double-jab under pain of fines exceeding $10,000 + public health laws will be used to close the business by force, resulting in almost certain mortgage breach & subsequent foreclosure – bankruptcy & a life’s work completely down the tube. Result: Sitting in the gutter with a change of clothes & a toothbrush, wondering where you’ll sleep tonight & if your next meal will even be this week.
Chances of a permanent negative health outcome are extremely low, the punt on the jab is almost certain to be a no-lose punt.

Con:

Gotta find the time & energy to haul your sorry carcase over to the jabbing site, & do it all over again a few weeks later.
Plus you gotta have your schedule arranged so that it can withstand you being absent for a couple of days should you have a negative reaction to either jab.

Choice: Strong possibility of mild reaction to the jab, vs losing everything & putting your entire family out of house & home, total destruction of your life’s work & future security. Plus putting a lot of longstanding loyal people (& their families) out of work.

Result: Bitter & unending hatred of those who issued the mandate. (Very bitter)

Happy new year to all! Last night was incredible – was glued to the screen the whole time watching the ABC’s constellation of stars putting on their famously awesome NYE show.

Honestly, though; we stayed home this year due to our youngest having just turned 1. And we turn on the telly to watch the Sydney Harbour fireworks show on the ABC. And we did catch the end of the singing of Auld Lang Syne on the ABC (very woke, it was). And we laughed when they wrapped it up and we found out they’d been performing on the stage in a large, empty theatre. Which seems represtative of the size of the ABC’s audience. In fact, we may have been the only people in the country watching the show.

Okay Professor Bruce McStruth of Woolloomooloo U, I like David Allen Coe but that doesn’t impress voting soccer mums.

Dot, will the government approve Novovax?

Likely, not certain.

If they do, why would you take it with what you know.

Yes. It has a very good safety and efficacy record. Superior to what we currently have.

It is manufactured more ethically. I am not happy with some of the testing of, it, but I didn’t know that when I backed myself into a corner.

If I don’t have to take it I won’t unless it gets packaged with a flu shot. If COVID! Mania! dies down I won’t go out of my way to take it.

The technology is the same as the Hep B vaccine (already have that). Protein subunits. A safe and proven tech. Novavax were working on SARS and MERS (very similar viruses) vaccines before COVID hit.

You know you are not going to die from covid and you know this is about digital passport control and that every compliance empowers tyranny.

Very likely not. We all know the lies and manipulation that exists. However, there are benefits to not getting viral infections at all. Look, I might have had COVID in early 2020. Quite frankly, we should be testing everyone for this. Surely I have natural immunity???

[Also note COVID samples have been found in wastewater in Spain back to March 2019 – COVID may have been endemic globally before THEN!).

It will also allow me to not be homeless and move interstate and possibly earn more; if I go back to consulting on my own (likely), then some work will require some vaxx cert to get govvy. or wokeist corpo. work.

(“Don’t work for government or woke corpos!”) [Okay, tell that to an infrastructure tenderer. My econ work has been related to that].

I agree about the passport; but I have already lived as a second class citizen. Heads they win, tails I lose.

Really dot, you claim to be a libertarian.

*Yep. My body, my choice, but I am a pariah where I work and I made a promise, I hate not keeping my promises. My preference is for Novavax, Sputnik or Covaxin (my actual first preference) packaged with the yearly flu shot and taken voluntarily.

What do you think you should do?

Pray that COVID Mania ends. Businesses are only psycho about this because of the two week isolation rules and frivolous lawsuits. I’d rather not take the vaccine and I am still pissed off about it. If I had the wherewithal I would laugh this off. CAD gott mit uns…

*…and no, I do not “claim” to be a libertarian, I am a libertarian. The government is the problem in all of this fake crisis.

How many chances do you get?

A s3x predator who attacked six women days after he was released from a prison sentence for similar offences has been jailed for life.

Joshua Victorin, 24, was supposed to be under supervision when he embarked on a 12-day spree of terror during the festive season last year.

He attacked four women in a single day, Inner London crown court heard.

Victorin’s previous victims included a prison officer as well as a drug and alcohol worker.

He was released in early December and attacked his next victim on December 23, 2020 when she got off a bus in Peckham.

At an earlier hearing, prosecutor Claire Harden-Frost said: ‘These offences can be seen as part of a campaign to r@p3 and s3xually assault women walking alone in the streets of London.

‘This, frankly is most people’s nightmare in this situation.’

Victorin has seven previous convictions for 14 offences dating back to 2014.

He was jailed for 17 months in February 2019 for unlawful wounding and possession of an offensive weapon.

Victorin was jailed for a year after s3xually assaulted two prison guards while serving his sentence, as well as a separate s3xual assault on a female police officer in March last year.

He was released halfway through his sentence in August, but recalled to prison after being charged with possession of cannabis and outraging public decency – by having consensual s3x in a park in front of people, including children – and was then freed under licence in December.

The furniture shop was set up by NFA after Sinc’s first closure as a back up….not competition oh tribalists…..a backup.
And it was used as such by many here today while this blog was set up and the other cat.
As intended.
I was asked by NFA to be an administrator which I accepted.
He, until recently blocked people like bird.
This time he didn’t and I hadn’t heard from him so I gave bird enough free speech to hang himself and worked out how to smote him myself. Which I have now done twice.
I still have had no reply from NFA.
Maybe a few smart arses here mught see the good he did.
And this may come as a shock to all you superior beings but you talk about freedom furniture being a nuff nuff site well I can assure you the first year and a half of this covid coup there was more insanity here.
Some of us left for a year.
I often get things up on Facebook by first postung them there and then linking to it.
Stuff they won’t allow.
It is easy to find my posts when I need them Etc.
And MV is MV.
There are a lot more questionable characters here and those lost to the propaganda where you know MV was not.
We don’t decide who can post on F F based on the opinions of the mere visiting commenters here.
You would think the more right wing blogs the merrier. ….but alas those that crave clubs and gang membership aren’t about practicality.
NFA did well and many weren’t lost because of him.

Retired general warns the U.S. military could lead a coup after the 2024 election

As the anniversary of the insurrection at the U.S. Capitol approaches, three retired U.S. generals have warned that another insurrection could occur after the 2024 presidential election and the military could instigate it.

The generals – Paul Eaton, Antonio Taguba and Steven Anderson – made their case in a recent Washington Post Op-Ed. “In short: We are chilled to our bones at the thought of a coup succeeding next time,” they wrote.

Paul Eaton, a retired U.S. Army major general and a senior adviser to VoteVets, spoke with NPR’s Mary Louise Kelly earlier this week.

Below are the highlights of the conversation.

How could a coup play out in 2024?
The real question is, does everybody understand who the duly elected president is? If that is not a clear cut understanding, that can infect the rank and file or at any level in the US military.

And we saw it when 124 retired generals and admirals signed a letter contesting the 2020 election. We’re concerned about that. And we’re interested in seeing mitigating measures applied to make sure that our military is better prepared for a contested election, should that happen in 2024.

How worried is he on a scale of 1 to 10?
I see it as low probability, high impact. I hesitate to put a number on it, but it’s an eventuality that we need to prepare for. In the military, we do a lot of war-gaming to ferret out what might happen. You may have heard of the Transition Integrity Project that occurred about six months before the last election. We played four scenarios. And what we did not play is a U.S. military compromised – not to the degree that the United States is compromised today, as far as 39% of the Republican Party refusing to accept President Biden as president – but a compromise nonetheless. So, we advocate that that particular scenario needs to be addressed in a future war game held well in advance of 2024.

Can the current Pentagon leadership handle it?
I’m a huge fan of Secretary [of Defense Lloyd] Austin, a huge fan of the team that he has put together and the uniformed military under General Milley. They’re just superb. And I am confident that the best men and women in the U.S. and in our military will be outstanding. I just don’t want the doubt that has compromised or infected the greater population of the United States to infect our military.

What should the military do?
I had a conversation with somebody about my age and we were talking about civics lessons, liberal arts education, and the development of the philosophical underpinnings of the U.S. Constitution. And I believe that bears a re-teach to make sure that each and every 18-year-old American truly understands the Constitution of the United States, how we got there, how we developed it and what our forefathers wanted us to understand years down the road. That’s an important bit of education that I think that we need to re-address.

I believe that we need to wargame the possibility of a problem and what we are going to do. The fact that we were caught completely unprepared – militarily, and from a policing function – on January 6, is incomprehensible to me. Civilian control of the military is sacrosanct in the U.S. and that is a position that we need to reinforce.

Are civics lessons ‘weak tea’ to stave off an insurrection?
A component of that – unsaid – is that we all know each other very well. And if there is any doubt in the loyalty and the willingness to follow the Oath of the United States, the support and defend part of the U.S. Constitution, then those folks need to be identified and addressed in some capacity. When you talk to a squad leader, a staff sergeant, a nine man Rifle Squad, he knows his men and women very, very well.

I’m puzzled as to why the Feds are paying up to $600K to people injured by the jabs (and free funerals for those who died) when the Feds haven’t mandated the jabs.

Surely it should be the state and territorial governments who are held liable as they are the ones mandating the jabs, and the business owners who mandate jabs when there is no state decree for their industry in place.

Could someone pick up the $600K offered by the Feds and still be able to sue their employer and/or state government for injuries? This unholy mess will bankrupt this nation.

struth

January 1, 2022 4:25 pm

Indeed I am happy with the answers I have received regarding the jab
But my question was about the booster.
It is overwhelmingly obvious taking these jabs is playing Russian Roulette.
How many are you going to take?
How many before it kills you?
Have you signed your own death warrant already.?
Really was submission to the jab only delaying what they plan all along
Your small business gone and you dead.
You aren’t going to save your business by complying Sal…you know that….not a pub especially.
People talk to each other in pubs.
Was the initial compliance now worth it knowing endless jabs and all manner of tyrannical regs are going to do you in anyway?
One way or another and maybe both ways…you are gone.
Mate…..I’m just trying and have been since March last year to say not only can you not comply your way out of tyranny you’ll increase it by doing so .
Early realization of this may have saved millions.
so knowing taking the booster won’t help would you still take it?
How can it help you if it kills you?

I don’t know why you banned Bird from the the Furniture Factory, Struth. 
It’s not as though he wouldn’t have blended in quite well there and in fact would have starred as a commenter. Rash decision. Very rash decision.

Well, according to Rex, it was all going beautifully at first.
Awash with nano-wrigglers, hook-nosed Rothschilds, faked moon landings and Mossad controlled building demolitions morning, noon and night.
Which didn’t cause any offence whatsoever.
They cheered it on if anything.
Then Bird bumped up against the boundaries of their much vaunted free speech policy.
He called St Ruth a c..t.
Gone.
Truth is not a defence at the Furniture Store, apparently.

Seems a bit hysterical rabble rousing by US media outlets on an insurrection. I have met a couple of Marines and known some more ex US army types through my travels, most would sit comfortably to the right of most conservatives in Oz. Not saying all are like that but as a guess coming from a defence family I’s say a sizable majority of those either in or who have worn a uniform would be of a right persuasion. The job attracts that sort of mindset.

If on the remote chance they do happen to try it on I reckon they will be looking behind listening to the crickets chirp after issuing a call to arms. May get a bunch of woke staff grade types, a few ANTIFA or BLM rabbles but not the trained disciplined force they desire.

All I want is one of the double jabbed to give me the pros and cons as they see it.

In the land of the double-jabbed there are a million different stories.

Re the punter-ocracy of my town:

Upon discovery they are denied entry to the TAB until double-jabbed, immediately ceased all enquiries and disappeared in the direction of the nearest vaxxpoint. (It’s going to be a looong three weeks for those blokes)

Pro: It’s no big deal.
Con: Can’t into the TAB without this, my hands are already shaking from withdrawal – it’s going to be a loooong three weeks until I’m eligible for the 2nd shot.

Outcome: I’ll be allowed back into the TAB again…. phew!

Legacy: None, as the jabbing was last week/month & has already been forgotten, anyway, the 4th at Flemington is about run… so shaddup, I’ve got a week’s wages on Bobtail Boy & wanna watch th’ race.

Priorities- Theirs are never the same as yours.

Billy Connolly once did a very funny routine, effectively taking the piss out of the anthropomorphism of wild animals, ascribing noble motives to them.

“Picture this.
A wild animal wandering through the jungle.
He comes to a clearing and spots another animal 100 yards away on the other side of the clearing.
In a millisecond three thoughts flash through his brain, which will determine what happens next.
These three thoughts are:-
1. Can I eat it?
2. Can it eat me?
3. Can I fuck it?
The end”

Urban dictionary:-

Schrodinger’s douchebag

One who makes douchebag statements, particularly sexist, racist or otherwise bigoted ones, then decides whether they were “just joking” or dead serious based on whether other people in the group approve or not.

Example:-
“Oh man women should just stay in the kitchen, it’s the only place they’re useful”
*with one group* “Haha just kidding, that’s sexist”
*with another group* “lol amirite”

Who’s this?
Any takers?
Sadly UAP candidate vetting has figured out that, once your social media commentary gets picked up, you don’t get to play the “only joking” card like you do down at the Upper Bumfuck West pub.

Check out this Nine news report about police harassing a cafe in Queensland

This reportedly happened in a Perth drinking establishment overnight, too.

However, the Police spokesmong made references to ‘considerable police resources’ being required to shut the place down. That’s salon talk for “Things did not go as planned, and we needed many reinforcements.”

So, to the King of the Nuffs and everyone else casually tossing out the slur that “You can’t comply your way out of tyranny, and none of you lot are resisting hard enough,” what say you?

How much non-compliance and resistance is acceptable non-compliance and resistance?

Queensland has brought back the requirement to wear masks inside from Sunday as the state records 2266 new cases.

There are currently 80 people in hospital, with one in intensive care
So Queensland is still using the “cases” metric to strike fear into the population, and totally ignoring low hospitalisation and ICU numbers.

Nope. Your fevered proclamations have just never anchored in the objective reality of the enforcers being really as tolerant and laid-back in general as the population they are drawn from.

But hey, everyone needs a fantasy to think nice things about. This one is yours.

I just don’t appreciate (as I suspect is the case for many) having your fears and pecadilloes projected onto me, because it is the only way your fantasy works in a way that doesn’t cause you a fatal cognitive dissonance.

Question for Cats.
I thought Cardimona said he had been pre-selected by UAP.
I have a vague memory of him wishing Bob Katter all the best when he can spend more time with his family after the election.
Katter is in the seat of Kennedy.
Here is an extract of an announcement from the UAP website (undated) on Qld candidates:-

“The United Australia Party candidates endorsed so far in Queensland are Majella Zimpel (Blair), Simon Flitcroft (Bonner), Shane Clarke (Bowman), Lindsay Sturgeon (Capricornia), Colin Thompson (Dawson), Stephen Austin (Dickson), Mara Krischker (Fadden), Jacob Rush (Flynn), Paul Creighton (Forde), Christian Julius (Griffith), Susan Bertuch (Kennedy), Jeanette Sackley (Leichhardt), Bailey Maher (Longman), Fiona Mackenzie (McPherson), Garry Eilola (Moncrieff), Carl Grading (Moreton), Shyamal Reddy (Rankin).”

Queensland has brought back the requirement to wear masks inside from Sunday as the state records 2266 new cases.

Pure theatre.
I’ve received the directive a few hours ago.

From 1am Sunday 2 January 2022 face masks will be required in all indoor settings across Queensland.
Indoor face mask requirements will include:
• patrons in all hospitality venues including hotels, clubs, restaurants and cafes.
Masks are not required to be worn when seated, or when eating and/or drinking.
These changes will be in effect across the whole of Queensland.

Keep in mind that Qld already has a total & complete indoor mask mandate anywhere that unvaccinated are allowed.

repeating the key sentence:
Masks are not required to be worn when seated, or when eating and/or drinking.

Translation: Pure theatre, nothing much will change, almost nobody has to mask up anymore than they already are.

Pretty typical New Year’s Eve in Northbridge….

New Year’s Eve in Perth: All hell breaks loose in Perth, Northbridge as clock strikes 12
Headshot of Sarah Steger
Sarah Steger
The West Australian

After a quiet start to the night drunken brawls, death-defying stunts and a morning full of sore heads marred New Year’s Eve celebrations in Perth and Northbridge last night.

As the sun set on 2021, West Australians celebrating the end of another tough year couldn’t wait to count down the minutes until 2022.

All was quiet, calm and almost eerie until midnight.

But once the clock struck 12 and the fireworks came to a close hell broke loose across Northbridge and the city.
Police made 79 arrests, 89 summons, 268 charges and 154 move on notices.

By 1.15am on Saturday, a number of alcohol-fuelled brawls had already spilled out onto the streets, each fight more violent and frantic than the last, fanned by drunken onlookers enraged by the a heavy police response it triggered.

On James Street, chaos reigned from 12.40am onwards, when 21 police officers including three from the mounted section tore down the entertainment strip as a fight erupted between a large group of people outside Kebab Unlimited.

On the floor, surrounded by the throng, were two women exchanging furious blows. By the time authorities were able to separate the screaming duo and ease the tensions rippling through the crowd, officers at the incident almost outnumbered revellers.

Less than 20 minutes later police flooded the green space opposite Irish tavern An Sibin. 13 officers towered over a single figure on the floor, a young man who was escorted into the back of a police car minutes later.

It was was one of 90 arrests made by police across WA over the course of the New Year’s Eve celebrations — on top of 154 move-on notices and 89 summons issued.
