https://www.nytimes.com/2020/11/27/style/trust-fund-activism-resouce-generation.html
“My money is mostly stocks, which means it comes from underpaying and undervaluing working-class people, and that’s impossible to disconnect from the economic legacies of Indigenous genocide and slavery,” Ms. Gelman said. “Once I realized that, I couldn’t imagine doing anything with my wealth besides redistribute it to these communities.”
…
Heres the sort of slime tenured and burrowed in like ticks to keep the flame of idiocy alive.
“The wealth millennials are inheriting came from a mammoth redistribution away from the working masses, creating a super-rich tiny minority at the expense of a fleeting American dream that is now out of reach to most people,” said Richard D. Wolff, a Marxist and an emeritus economics professor at University of Massachusetts Amherst who has published 12 books about class and inequality.
He said he has been professionally arguing against capitalism’s selling points since his teaching career began, in 1967, but that his millennial students “are more open to hearing that message than their parents ever were.”
…
Heirs whose wealth has come from a specific source sometimes use that history to guide their giving. Pierce Delahunt, a 32-year-old “socialist, anarchist, Marxist, communist or all of the above,” has a trust fund that was financed by their former stepfather’s outlet mall empire. (Mx. Delahunt takes nongendered pronouns.)
“When I think about outlet malls, I think about intersectional oppression,” Mx. Delahunt said. There’s the originally Indigenous land each mall was built on, plus the low wages paid to retail and food service workers, who are disproportionately people of color, and the carbon emissions of manufacturing and transporting the goods. With that on their mind, Mx. Delahunt gives away $10,000 a month, divided between 50 small organizations, most of which have an anticapitalist mission and in some way tackle the externalities of discount shopping.
Meh. Forget the Four Yorkshiremen skit.
This sums it up.

Only the rich can afford to be leftists.
But as the Liars have become more the party of the comfortable gentry and the large corporates, an opening exists for a party to provide for the political aspirations of the middle class and trades/working class. Many of these are socially very conservative. Unfortunately, the SFLs are too stupid to see this and take advantage of the opportunity.

HAS STATE BEEN OMI-CONNED?
PETER LAW
Seven of the Premier’s key reasons for ditching the planned February 5 reopening do not stack up
Claims made by Mark McGowan to justify his decision to delay the reopening of the WA border indefinitely do not stand up to proper scrutiny.
The West Australian fact checked claims the Premier made in his prime-time television address on Thursday night and which he repeated at Friday’s press conference.
They showed inconsistencies with evidence about what is really happening in Australia’s hospitals amid an explosion in Omicron cases in the Eastern States over the past month.
Some basic facts were incorrect and repeated many times despite being wrong, as Mr McGowan attempted to mount an argument that delaying the February 5 reopening would help WA avoid a “catastrophe”.
Claim #1: “South Australia had 11 people die today, back when they opened they were COVID-free like us, so that’s the sort of thing we’re doing our best to avoid.”
South Australia’s Premier Steven Marshall earlier on Thursday announced 11 deaths over the previous 24 hours, but cautioned he had been advised by Chief Health Officer Nicola Spurrier that the “unusually high number” was possibly a backlog.
“She said, ‘Look, it’s quite possible that it’s an accumulation for a number of days’,” Mr Marshall said.
“There is no urgent reporting requirement from residential aged-care facilities into SA Health related to COVID, and so sometimes there’s a bit of a catch up.”
Claim #2: “There’s been a surge in hospitalisations around Australia, with an average of almost 5000 Australians hospitalised a day since the start of the year with COVID.”
There were 5147 patients with COVID-19 hospitalised in Australia on Thursday. The peak was two days earlier, when there were 5307 people hospitalised with the virus.
The West Australian calculated that since January 1 there had been a daily average of 3800 people hospitalised with COVID-19 in Australia, well below the 5000 cited by the Premier.
Claim #3 “Hospitals are overflowing with patients, hospitals in meltdown. That’s what’s happening and it would be grossly irresponsible of me not to watch and act on the basis of that.”
The Federal Health Department on Thursday published its weekly report on how hospitals were coping with the number of COVID patients.
It showed 8 per cent of hospital ward beds and 22 per cent of ICU beds across Australia were occupied by COVID patients.
In NSW, those figures were 12 per cent (ward beds) and 24 per cent (ICU).
Australia’s Chief Medical Officer, Paul Kelly, on Wednesday said the nation’s hospitals were “coping” at the moment.
“These are levels of coping that have been agreed with the States and Territories in our common operating picture through the National Cabinet, and so in terms of hospitalisations right across the country, that’s still green, in a green-orange-red traffic light system,” Professor Kelly said.
“In terms of intensive care, there is pressure, so several States are showing amber and are taking action appropriately for that, and Victoria has been in that higher level of red for the last couple of weeks.
“But even there, that means that they’re at 33 per cent of their capacity. So there is plenty of capacity.”
Claim #4: “I can’t predict what the future will hold and we couldn’t predict Omicron. Omicron came along on December 8 in Australia.”
NSW Health announced Australia’s first case of Omicron on November 28 — 10 days earlier than the Premier’s claim — after genomic sequencing showed two overseas arrivals had the strain.
The first suspected case of community transmission of Omicron was on December 3, a Sydney school student with no history of overseas travel.
Mr McGowan again wrongly stated on Friday that Australia’s first Omicron case was on December 8 while defending the timing of his Government’s rapid antigen tests order.
The Premier’s office later said he had been provided incorrect information.
Claim #5: “If there’s an argument somehow we should have gone and spent half a billion dollars on rapid antigen tests with some sort of foresight for a virus that didn’t exist at that point in time, I think it’s a very unfair argument.”
The Premier has been unable to reveal the exact date WA Health ordered millions of rapid antigen tests, only saying it was in the first half of December.
The Commonwealth and State governments agreed on November 5 to share the cost of RATs required to comply with public health orders.
The Therapeutic Goods Administration approved the sale of RATs for at-home use from November 1, but the ban on their sale was not lifted in WA until January 10.
WA Health Minister Amber-Jade Sanderson said she expected there would be 10 million RATs in the State stockpile at the start of February, with 1.5 million already in stock and more than 80 million by April.
Ten weeks ago, the Victorian Government announced it was giving kindergartens, daycare centres and schools free RATs to help manage outbreaks.
Claim #6: “The science shows that people with only two doses of a COVID vaccine have only a 4 per cent protection against being infected by the Omicron variant, but a third dose can provide a 64 per cent protection against infection.”
The Premier on Friday said these figures had been provided by WA Chief Health Officer Andy Robertson and were based on academic papers.
Dr Robertson’s written advice attributes it to a research paper published in Denmark on December 27.
The study found Omicron was up to 3.7 times more infectious than Delta among the vaccinated and the booster reduced transmission.
The Premier’s office referred questions to WA Health. Dr Robertson told The West his advice referred to a table contained in the report on the effect of vaccination.
The West was unable to find anywhere in the report that explicitly states double dose protection fell to 4 per cent and received no explanation about how Dr Robertson extrapolated the data.
Last week, the UK Health Security Agency said vaccine effectiveness against Omicron 20 weeks after a second dose of Pfizer or Moderna fell to 10 per cent.
Two to four weeks after a booster, effectiveness ranged from about 65 to 75 per cent, falling to 55 to 65 per cent at five to nine weeks and 45 to 50 per cent from 10 weeks.
Claim #7: “The local AMA (Australian Medical Association) endorsed our move (to delay reopening) and called for it.”
AWA WA president Mark Duncan-Smith did not call for a delayed reopening. He instead advocated the Government immediately impose harsher restrictions to slow the transmission of Omicron already spreading in WA.

The “Freedom Rally” and march today: Strathfield and Burwood, Sydney.
I had intended to attend but due to difficulties with my opal card couldn’t make it. Pure serendipity as it transpired. I found a live feed on Facebook and watched. There was a promising start with views of people assembling at Strathfield station – lots of kids and middle age and elderly people. Things degenerated from there. During the march, the throng was being led in chants such as “ScoMo is a scum bag”. Very edifying. At the rally the MC set the tone with an expletive laden opening address. I think the organisers of this event have set the cause of liberty and individualism back years. Every eff word would have sent a tranche of votes from AUP and LDP straight to One Nation. If they want to roll around in the mud using abuse instead of reason and base their tactics on the BLM/Antifa play book they can count me out. I noticed people drifting away from the opening remarks at the rally. If Cameron Newman and Craig Kelly think this is the way to go, they are destined for political oblivion.

I won’t be doing the webers, I’ll pay a specialist for that one.
There are many things I can do myself, but Carbys are not one of them.
It absolutely would. It is what drives the fear porn from the media. They know what side their bread is buttered on.
I don’t have an Aldi within reach, so I am going to have an accommodation with my local bottle shop to pay him by bank transfer and have him deliver. My local vietnamese restaurant does takeaway. So I shan’t be greatly inconvenienced.
I had been considering the novavax, but not any longer. The more government tries to coerce me, the more resistant I become to the whole vaccination bizzo.
How do they have your email address? I mean, I’m sure I’ve provided mine to some government department at some stage, but have never been emailed by the WA government or the health dept before.
Anyway, I haven’t received any scary threatening email yet. McGowan can stick the needles he’s put aside for me into both of his eyeballs, and the booster up his caboose. He’s made me even more determined to refuse the shots.
As for the restrictions on the unvaxxed, I reckon it’ll take a week or two for most of the unfortunate people McGowan has charged with enforcing his edict to get heartily sick of doing so, and will get sloppy, and they’ll enforce it in the way they enforce ‘mandatory’ check-ins.
At the very least, it won’t take long to figure out which places check and which places don’t. My policy is that I’m not showing anyone anything regarding my health except for my doctor, and I wouldn’t even if I was vaxxed.
Another thing that will be interesting to keep an eye on – I wonder how many people those places that do check fastidiously will be turning away? Because if it’s quite a lot, I think we will have some idea of how trustworthy the cited ~95% vaccination rate is.
Cwuel, so very cwuel.

Don’t be obtuse, Ed.
If it’s at all possible.
Fortunately I’m in the Sydney region.
I’ve rung around and there’s a guy in blacktown who does this stuff and has been doing it for years.
The only thing that would move me to get vaxxed is the ability to travel abroad. Fuck McGowan and Morro and their rules – I wouldn’t do it for them. However, I have family OS and, at the end of the day, if I want to enter their countries, I have to abide by their rules. Not much I can do about that if I want to visit. Also, do the airlines permit the unvaxxed to travel?
Not planning a trip any time soon, however. It’d only be if someone got very sick or something like that. Let’s see if the madness dies down. Now that England has nixed virtually all of its Covid restrictions and Ireland has done much the same, I think these could be the first dominoes to fall.

‘What Putin Wants in Ukraine’ (the concluding paragraphs of a recent essay in Foreign Affairs, which offers analysis you will hardly ever see in the pro-war liberal msm):
‘It’s not just Ukrainian leadership that Moscow sees as problematic. France and Germany have flubbed efforts to strike a diplomatic resolution to the Russia-Ukraine stalemate. The Europeans, who were the guarantors of the Minsk agreements of 2014 and 2015 that were supposed to bring peace to the region, had little success pushing the Ukrainians to strike a deal. German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier, then foreign minister, could not even get Kyiv to accept a compromise that would have allowed for elections in the Donbas region. Last November, the Russians went so far as to publish private diplomatic correspondence between their foreign minister, Sergei Lavrov, and his French and German counterparts to demonstrate how the Western powers fully sided with Ukrainian government’s stance. And although the focus in the West has been on the Russian troop buildup near the Ukrainian border, this came as NATO countries expanded their military activities in the Black Sea region and in Ukraine. In June, a British destroyer sailed through territorial waters off Crimea, which London does not recognize as belonging to Russia, provoking the Russians to fire in its direction. In November, a U.S. strategic bomber flew within 13miles of the Russian border in the Black Sea region, infuriating Putin. As tensions rose, Western military advisers, instructors, arms, and ammunition poured into Ukraine. Russians also suspect that a training center the United Kingdom is constructing in Ukraine is in fact a foreign military base. Putin is particularly adamant that deploying U.S. missiles in Ukraine that can reach Moscow in five to seven minutes cannot and will not be tolerated.
Putin’s threat to resort to force comes from his frustration with a stalled diplomatic process. For Russia, the escalating military threats were unmistakable. In his articles and speeches, Putin may emphasize the unity of the Russian and Ukrainian peoples, but what he cares most about is preventing NATO expansion in Ukraine. Consider what he said in March 2014 after sending forces into Crimea in response to the overthrow of Ukraine’s president, Viktor Yanukovych. “I simply cannot imagine that we would travel to Sevastopol to visit NATO sailors,” he said of the famous Russian naval base in Crimea. “Of course, most of them are wonderful guys, but it would be better to have them come and visit us, be our guests, rather than the other way round.” Putin’s actions suggest that his true goal is not to conquer Ukraine and absorb it into Russia but to change the post-Cold War setup in Europe’s east. That setup left Russia as a rule-taker without much say in European security, which was centered on NATO. If he manages to keep NATO out of Ukraine, Georgia, and Moldova, and U.S. intermediate- range missiles out of Europe, he thinks he could repair part of the damage Russia’s security sustained after the Cold War ended. Not coincidentally, that could serve as a useful record to run on in 2024, when Putin would be up for re-election.’

In September 2021, the High Court found that gentle soul, Dylan Voller, had been grievously upset by online rude comments.
Like a bat out of Hell, the Moron Government sprang into action to “urgently address” this appalling state of affairs – one that threatened the Good Order of Australia.

I had been considering the novavax, but not any longer
Same turd, different glitter.
Wifey and I went out for dinner last night with a group of middle aged middle class people Wifey is associated with and, apart from another couple, all were jabbed. I had last associated with this same group over a year ago, all were then praising the virtues of McGowan, nothing has changed since.
The only difference I noticed was a sense of apprehension, a fear of something unknown which wasn’t there over a year ago. There was also a lot of defensiveness which wasn’t there previously, for example when I mentioned Boris Johnson’s removal of all mandates some became very agitated about how this will kill everyone in the UK and their pets too.
Zombiefication is already happening, it’s not through the injected concoctions but through a psychological process of induced fear. These people will cheer when the unvaxxed are deported to their internment camps.
Not one of his better known films, but he starred in a film adaptation of Colin Thiel’s Blue Fin in the 1970s, filmed on the South Australian coast, iirc.
A question fellow cats and Johnsons. Does the unmasker first have to show that the comment does not originate prior to the new law? Or is it retrospective legislation?

Hasn’t hit the grassroots brigades so far, but they did introduce a ‘must be vaxxed’ policy for the air staff (pilots, air attack supervisors, groundies etc) last month after a FULLY VAXXED groundie brought OMIGHOD onto the base.
I’d be very interested in finding out exactly what getting the Novavax jab will buy you?
Will you be considered fully vaxxed and allowed to do everything the obedient triple mRNA jabbed are permitted?
One day I’m a filthy far right anti-vaxxer, then suddenly I become one of the chosen people?
Seems a tad improbable.
Won’t our rulers claim that Novavax only protects against the original Alpha strain, so we’d still be a menace to the first class citizens?

Some guy giving a long speach. Talking about UK protest where helicopters were surveilling protesters with drones which had facial technology. When they got home there were emails waiting for them with fines.
Whoever he is a long time anti vax due to problem with Vax in his family.
Hard to count but in a high spot. If anybody says over 5,000 then total BS.
It’s all about him whoever he is.

Miss Thailand has some lax tucking skills.
A female giving a speach that is more about home educating kids at home. Pretty much zero relationship to Vax and mandates.
An author to wrote a book called the Power of the Light
Saw a group of about 30 Army looking guys. Veterans against the Vax
. Would not be surprised if a few still serving as covering face. One is ex SAS.
Talking of SAS was given a flyer by an Australia One guy. When I realised what it was gave it back and told him was not impressed by Bosi saying Hobart shooting false flag operation. Despite me saying that he then went on to say he had spoken to an SAS who also thought same. I think guy himself ex Army but said I wished him and Australia One well but there are others to support.
Main speaker now encouraging people to call police to report hospitality venues who are discriminating against unvaxxed to saying serving unvaxxed.
About the overlap between Greens voters and One Nation voters bei9ng zero:
Sure, but the Greens don’t have to do the hard yards of wooing One Nation Voters.
All they’ve gotta do is pressure the LNP in Queensland to preference One Nation last to get either 2 ALP/ 1 Green or 2 Green/1 ALP to get 3 ALP/Green Senators from July 1 2022 [up from 2 at the moment].
So prepare for some Murdoch instigated Shock!!/Horror!! involving Hanson shortly.
I’m ordering a copy of that book.
Forcing kids to get vaccinated to go to school, sneakily vaccinating over 12’s at school without consent, and not returning them to school this year because of all that plus masks in classrooms and covid craziness is absolutely a red hot entry level issue for many, many on-the-fence parents.
other thoughts on popes and pets at American Magazine
These people are Labor Operatives.
About 25 years ago, they made a big fuss about not being allowed to dump
their unvaxxed sprogs into ChildCare.
It went to Court and the ruling led to a Vax Mandate for toddlers in Childcare in Qld.
Never, ever trust them..
Just claimed nearly 30,000 teachers don’t want to go back to school due to Vax.
Now lady from Qld Health Practitioners Alliance speaking. Talking about health workers walking away from jobs. Group has 5,000 members. Probably best speaker so far. Pfizer lying, TGA underreporting. Talking about Vax injuries she has come across.
inbound to Australia no longer required to have pcr test and wait for 14 days before travelling to Australia if they test positive, now rats and 7 days, hopefully by March no test required 😉
Not a single redhead among them.

Really does make WA a stand out
Sure, the ALP (Plibersek) never proposed to take kids at 3 and give them back at 21/22.
Cradle to grave early education to adult daycare…it has been ALP policy for years now.

All parents want is somewhere to dump the kids all day while they save for retirement.
If the price tag is CovenVaxxed kids, well, there’s $600,000/kid + Carers Benefit to assuage the grief.
I thought teachers, by and large, were gagging to get vaccinated and appalled at being expected to teach unvaccinated covid carriers.
Last chance to guess Gab’s age?
All future comments must run by the same standard.

What would judge Mordy do?
Thanks Plasmamortar.
Teachers tend to be pretty well informed, and well informed people aren’t taking the Vax [at the moment].
That’s the reason for the delay to the start of the School Year.
Gab is a woman and young – probably underage.
There are no girls on the internet and all kids are Feds.
Don’t talk to Gab. Or you may have to take a seat.
What is a woman; good rant, but too little too late:
That was straight fire. As a woman, I’m offended when a man puts on a dress and pretends to know what my struggles have been as a biological woman. The h— you do. A woman is biology. It is experience. It is not a costume. And any man attempting to put on that experience without having lived it is appropriating my sex. We are told that cultural appropriation is wrong and racist. Appropriating the appearance of a woman and then gaslighting other women to accept you as one of them is sexist. Get out of here with that. Stop trying to take over women-only spaces. We need protection and safety from men. We need places to go where no men are allowed. Our girls need their sporting events to be segregated for their safety and fairness. Enough of this madness already!
I can see paradise by the dashboard light.
Ed your usually impeccable contrarianess is leading you down the garden path again.
I didn’t say all parents. Let’s say a hot button issue for 5-15% of all parents on a spectrum of will absolutely pull their kids if the school system get sneaky and pushy with these vaccines to are simply all talk and bluster and will hand their kids over because they can’t afford to not make the payments on mums 2020 Prado.
Not an insignificant boost for the home education movement if they can get even just another 5%.
Suitable for today’s pampered, triggered and ignorantly judgmental snowflakes.
I doubt they’re off their phones long enough to watch TV, anyway.

Even by your low standards, this is pathetic.
While everyone was protesting about Victoria’s pandemic laws, the ACT slipped identical laws in under the radar.
Now,if we recall, the ACT was held up as the Good Boy of Australian states and territories with 100% vaccination within the first five minutes of it being available.
Look at what obedience gets you:
At this point there is a perfect correlation, state and territory-wise, between compliance and cementing in of ’emergency’ measures as permanent.
Today’s Sydney (Strathfield to Burwood) World Wide Rally for Freedom – impressions
my footage (basic, 11 min.)
1. Attendance: probably 10k at most.
2. Crowd composition: again, mainly anglo/european, smattering of islanders, saw hardly any asians/indians (even though Sydney City is quite demographically asian), one would ask again, why is this so?
3. Speeches at the end were shite. Really, why bother.
4. Yet again the indig industry tried to shoehorn their way in (I believe people probably tolerate this BS because it’s nowhere near being the main cause they turned up).
5. massively over-dimensioned numbers of Public Order and Riot vehicles, police of all types, mounted police horses (idle, grazing in the Park at the end), and helicopters. None of which was necessary in any way, other than to maintain a small number of road closures and redirect some traffic.
That is all.
What sort of sickness is this?
The Evening Standard reports on a study that finds that face maskes make men more attractive:
You’d have to be an academic to believe that.
What it reveals is that official propaganda is warping fearful people’s minds.
Qld: It comes as the state recorded 15,050 new Covid infections and 10 deaths in the past 24 hours.
The deaths included a woman in 40s, a person in 50s, six in their 80s and two in their 90s.
One of them was unvaccinated, six had two shots and three had boosters.
There are 884 in hospital, including 52 in intensive care. Eighteen require ventilators.
Queensland Chief Officer John Gerrard said the true number of Covid cases the state has had since welcoming interstate visitors could be four times the official number.
“In Queensland, since opening the domestic borders, we have confirmed cases of Covid numbering about a quarter of a million,” he told reporters on Saturday.
“The real number is substantially greater than that.
“It’s a very large number – it’s almost certainly greater than a million.
“We don’t know the true number, because not everybody’s getting tested, either because their symptoms are mild, they don’t recognise the symptoms, they don’t seek to be tested or they can’t get access to a test.”
Dr Gerrard added the probability of a vaccinated person ending up in hospital was “tiny”, but it was much greater for the unvaccinated.
As the figures prove…
You have to really despise your audience to peddle this shit.
That is is thoroughly researched and documented but has been ignored is a good recommendation!
They hope that by doing so it will go away.
The Palestinian leadership has scored some big own goals over the decades but this is the biggest.
And health authorities announce that muff divers and rug munchers must wear face masks when munching.
“As the figures prove”
To be fair, Dr I added the last line.
When he says “vaccinated” does he mean three shots?
Inquiring minds…
If only there were some in the Brisbane press corps.
