Meanwhile, Maher did commend the success of the coronavirus vaccine, however he added that while it does prevent one from dying, it does not stop the transmission of the virus.
‘They just prevent you from dying, which is a great part of it, let’s not undercount that.’
‘But if they don’t prevent you from transmitting it and they don’t prevent you from getting it why are we still treating this disease the way we always have?’

Sunday lunch at the pub, catching up with locals. Seems most of the families in town with kids & teenagers have Covid or have had the coof.

Fair cop on the slip up on unedifying. Alas it was, as Gerard Henderson would say, after gin and tonic time.
As for new poster, I was a regular commenter on the original Cat for several years, This re-incarnation was not widely publicised as far as I can tell and I have only recently caught up. As for appropriate language to suit a given situation I stand on my dig. The language of the football locker room and the public bar is not necessarily appropriate in a an assembly comprising young children, pensioners and everyone in between. The polite word for those who cannot show such basic social courtesies is “yobs” and there were plenty on display on Saturday not least amongst the organisers.

Dr Faustus says: The interesting bit is that this – and particularly the last para – is being reported neutrally by a significant part of the MSM.
Let’s break it down:
In the first Para, Bill Maher is saying that the Vaccine will save your life.
In the second para he says that nothing can stop everybody from getting some variant of Covid/19.
Only possible conclusion to draw from those 2 paragraphs:
Bill Maher is saying that everybody must be fully vaccinated, end of story.

As the rest of the world begins to shrug off the Covid restrictions as OMG and the pandemic panic subsides, the ABC demands a return to lockdowns, mask mandates, capacity limits for venues, restrictions on gatherings in private homes, the works:
In a statement this week, the Public Health Association of Australia (PHAA) said easing restrictions with the intention of “opening up the economy” had had the opposite effect.
PHHA chief executive Terry Slevin said most states’ determination to return to normal had backfired.
He would like to see state and federal authorities returning to a policy of slowing the spread of the virus — a strategy that became widely known as flattening the curve.
Why should we revert back to such a model? Well, to make people like this feel safe:
Hillary Wardhaugh has stopped going out and cut back on shopping because she is terrified of catching COVID-19 and losing more work.
“It’s like a lockdown that the government is not paying for,” she said.
She works as a portrait photographer in Canberra.
A typical ABC consumer, then. We need to lock down properly – no half measures! – so she can start getting more of that government cheese.
But let’s hear what an Expert has to say on the matter:
Professor Warwick McKibbin of the ANU’s Crawford School of Public Policy said small businesses, which generate most of the jobs in Australia’s economy, were being squeezed from both sides by worker shortages and slower spending.
“Small businesses are haemorrhaging, and there’s no government support,” he said.
He said it was not shutdowns that caused the greatest economic loss, but rather how people changed their behaviour while in a pandemic.
No, I’m pretty sure it’s the shutdowns that cause the greater economic loss. Unless you can explain how reduced economic activity is more damaging than an artificial and complete prohibition of economic activity across vast swathes of the economy.
He wanted to see a broad strategy to support the economy through what he believed would be recurring waves “for many, many years”.
Sigh. OMG ought to be the end of the pandemic. If it’s not, it’ll be because people like the above create and intensify the “recurring waves for many, many years” – every time a new variant emerges that causes the sniffles for half a day, they’ll have us lurching back into panic mode again. These people need to be told No. No, professor. No, silly scared woman photographer. We’re all moving on with our lives – I suggest you do the same.

I know people in Oz who had AZ, Pfizer & Moderna who all have had shingles within a couple of months.
Oldest one in their 80’s.
Youngest one early 20’s.
The only person I know who had the J&J shot also had shingles during the middle of the US summer which he said was just horrible.
The question is, why ?
Shingles is a secondary disease which follows childhood chicken pox*. The virus stays dormant in your body, suppressed by your immune system. When your immune system is weakened, usually through the ageing process, the chicken pox virus reasserts itself as shingles.
Shingles in the vaxxinated is a sign of a weakened immune system, what else are the vaxxinated now susceptible to?
*chicken pox or mumps or some other common childhood illness.

I noticed this backthread re Cassie’s need for surgery and her orthopaedic surgery costs.
I’ve known Cass for a while, but I’ve never known her to be a ‘keen gardener’.
I may be wrong, but I suspect there is a name confusion here with Calli.
And Calli, that gardenia of mine in the indoor conservatory is still struggling with tiny little black things like a fungus or insect droppings on the leaves, especially the undersides. Doing well on the new growth shooting upwards but lower down the leaves are yellowing and falling. I have used white oil and a light misting of household mortein in case it was unknown insects, but nothing works. Unusually too, a weblike cream residue is appearing all over the glazed pot. I wipe it off but it reappears. What is the best thing I can buy at Bunnings for this weird stuff?
Cassie sat next to it on Friday night but noticed nothing amiss. She did well to get up our steps.
If there Calli may have spotted the problem but she lives far away from Sydney.
I hope she has an answer anyway.

That gardenia was a bad purchase. It was full of beautiful buds that I thought were about to burst forth. But it had an insect infestation (as Calli advised), seemed to be cured by white oil, but then all of the buds went black at the tips and all except one struggler bud failed to open and all eventually fell off.

The worst atrocity was at Dinat – the town devastated, 674 civilians shot.
That was the worst individual atrocity. During the 1914 advance, German troops murdered over 6,000 Belgian and French civilians in similar circumstances.

One impressive thing is the extent and care with which the Belgians rebuilt after the war. Today Dinant looks just like the pretty little town that existed before being flattened by war.

From the songwriter himself:
Anderson has also said that “the album was a spoof to the albums of Yes and Emerson, Lake & Palmer, much like what the movie Airplane! had been to Airport”and later remarked that it was a “bit of a satire about the whole concept of grand rock-based concept albums”. Although Anderson wrote all the music and lyrics, he co-credited the writing to a fictional schoolboy named Gerald Bostock. The humour was subtle enough that some fans believed that Bostock was real. Reviewing the 40th anniversary reissue, Noel Murray suggested that many listeners of the original album “missed the joke”.
No smoke, just a joke. Unless those listening inhaled. And many…many did. In those days everyone scanned lyrics for meaning.
But is was fun. And the lyrics might be useful today as a cultural observation.
And the sand-castle virtues are all swept away in
The tidal destruction
The moral melee.
The elastic retreat rings the close of play
As the last wave uncovers
The newfangled way.
But your new shoes are worn at the heels and
Your suntan does rapidly peel and
Your wise men don’t know how it feels
To be thick as a brick.
The last couplet describes our economist quoted up thread.
I was listening earlier to Wakeman’s ponderous staves from “And You and I” (Close to the Edge). I get why Anderson wanted to parody them.

The basis of any successful civilisation is Agriculture, specifically the raising of Cattle.
Once a country is led astray from that basis, it’s Game Over.
Agriculture is the raising of plants; civilisation does not depend on this, plenty of horticulturalists are sporadic planters of various crops, as in New Guinea. Proper agriculture on which civilisations depends produces a storable surplus; usually some sort of grain crop. The domestication of animals is also no foundation alone for civilisation. Depends on what is domesticated and how it is used, often animal power is important for more than food, and cattle are only one of the important animals raised and depended upon. The place of the horse under civilisation is also worth inspecting. And it is Western Civilisation that the above mainly applies to. South American and to some extent Eastern Civilisations, were different in significant resources and produce. Jared Diamond, for all his faults, gives a reasonable overview.

They’re still contact tracing in the West (naturally – McGowan continues to belabour under the assumption his government will be able to get a handle on this outbreak).
I have only had a day and half of ‘freedom’ in Perth since May last year but here is a little snapshot of what I’ve seen in Perth City:
No business is enforcing QR coding, and nobody that I saw was bothered to do it voluntarily. The Old Mill Theatre, on the other hand, did enforce the QR code probably because it is run by (volunteer) Karens.
No business is enforcing masks, though plenty of people do wear them when they enter a business. I occasionally will wear the stupid thing if I don’t feel like putting an employee in an uncomfortable position, but generally don’t. I have been chipped twice: Once by the Karen at the theatre and the other by a ferry driver. It was encouraging to note that when the play started, over 50% of the patrons I could see took their masks off.
I have seen signs in businesses stating only the fully vaxxed (whatever that is these days in the West) can be served but, again, no one has asked to see my ‘passport’.
That’s a pretty big change in attitude since I was last here. I hope it continues next week when McClown cracks the whip harder and bans the Jews unvaxxed from society.

The Belgian Governance of The Congo was no better or worse than that of other Colonial Powers in Africa.
Bullshit. The Belgian governance of the Congo was up there with the German Governance of South West Africa – no other of the colonial powers had such a record.
That’s the headline as it appeared on Sky News website this morning. He’s impassioned! I was amused.

The Belgian Governance of The Congo was no better or worse than that of other Colonial Powers in Africa.
Nope.
The French and British alike still maintain their old colonies as allies and commonwealths, though the French are a little more active in the affairs of West Africa than the Poms are in the East.
The Belgians were ejected and stayed the hell away. The UN became the DRC’s de facto patron. And a football for many different Cold War powers’ competing agendas.

85,000 dead Namibians – today’s German Government describes that “Governance” as “genocide”, apologizes and pays compensation?
Fly-bys and other demonstrations by military aircraft have become commonplace as part of events building up to the start of races.
There is also a concern the displays can be used to make geo-political statements with which F1 does not want to be associated.
However, it is likely groups such as the RAF’s Red Arrows will be permitted as they are less obviously linked to the military.
And fly-bys involving civilian aeroplanes – such as happen at some of the Middle Eastern races that are sponsored by airlines – will still be permitted as long as the planes are using sustainable fuels.

Err, some sad news, Cats. Yet another of my contemporaries has died, way before his time. A twin, adopted by high profile corporate parents and in my year at school with his brother.
He was a legend. Strong and fit, musically and sportingly gifted and the funniest guy I’ve ever known in my lifetime. He leaves behind a devoted wife and a twenty year old daughter, distraught at their loss.

In weird news from Galaxy Government, this from NSW health:
Masks
All primary and secondary school staff will be required to wear masks indoors.
No vented masks or cloth masks should be worn. If required, surgical masks will be available at schools.
Secondary school students are required to wear masks.
Primary school students are strongly recommended to wear well-fitted masks indoors.
The surgical masks are a textile product, the same as any other including neoprene. The surgical masks are one size “fits” all and are designed for ADULTS. They are meant to be worn for a short duration only because of health risks for the wearer.
Yet there smooth brains expect our little ones to wear them ALL DAY.
This is child abuse.

A Forgotten Genocide: What Germany Did in Namibia, and What It’s Saying Now
The German government agreed to recognize the killings of two ethnic groups in Namibia as genocide. What happened more than 100 years ago, why was it forgotten, and what is Germany doing to atone?
By Norimitsu Onishi and Melissa Eddy
Published May 28, 2021Updated May 29, 2021
It has been called the first genocide of the 20th century, the “forgotten genocide’’ and the genocide that was the precursor of the Holocaust. Tens of thousands of Africans were killed between 1904 and 1908 by German soldiers in what is now Namibia, a vast, arid country northwest of South Africa.
German soldiers targeted people of two ethnic groups — the Herero and the Nama — because they had resisted land grabs by German settlers. Africans were shot, hanged, abandoned in the desert and died in concentration camps. Descendants of the Herero and Nama, marginalized groups within Namibia itself, kept alive the stories of their genocide through oral tradition and cultural events.
A push to recognize the genocide began after Namibia’s independence in 1990, and grew stronger with the 100th anniversary of the atrocities in 2004. In recent years — with researchers and left-leaning politicians pushing Germany to come to terms with its rarely examined colonial history — the process gained momentum.
While Germany indicated early on that it was ready to recognize the atrocities as a genocide, there was a stumbling block: money, not only the amount to be given, but what any payment would be called.
On Friday, Germany formally described the killings as a genocide, agreed to issue an apology and committed to providing $1.35 billion toward reconstruction and development projects. The Namibian government hailed the agreement, and some Namibians welcomed it.
But Herero and Nama leaders dismissed the deal as a “public relations coup” because it did not include funds deemed “reparations.”

Sneakers the Insufferable is called Sneakers because on clambouring up the greasy pole of Labor politics Sneakers McClown was a brown-noser extraordinaire so much so he was so far up the fundaments of the higher-ups in the Labor party all one could see was McClown’s Sneakers — voila the name has stuck as has the rancid stench.

Rabz,
what Pogria said.

The name Snickers originated during McGowan’s Service in the RAN.
Sez Ed.
Bullshit.
“Sneakers” has been a long standing nickname coined by WA journos in McGowan’s early political career.
He was very obliging to the party hierarchy to the degree that not much of him could be seem apart from his shoes.
Vice Admiral Kay-Achim Schönbach stepped down as the head of the German navy after publicly saying Crimea was lost to Ukraine and that Vladimir Putin “probably” deserved respect.
What were Schönbach’s remarks?
Schönbach made the comments during a talk that he gave in a visit to India. Speaking at the Manohar Parrikar Institute for Defence Studies and Analyses.
“What he really wants is respect,” the vice admiral said, speaking in English in remarks that were posted on a video on YouTube.
“And, my God, giving someone respect is low cost, even no cost. … It is easy to give him the respect he really demands — and probably also deserves,” Schönbach said, calling Russia an old and important country.
Schönbach said Russia’s actions in Ukraine needed to be addressed, but added that “the Crimea Peninsula is gone: It will never come back — this is a fact.”

Rabz condolences to you and your friend’s family. I too learned very early this morning of the death of one of my dearest friends at 2:00am. I am so shocked and saddened, that’s two life-long friends lost in the last couple of months, and well before their time, totally unexpected with no chance to hug and say farewell.

You bet Rabz in fact the older littlie was in my arms this morning as I received the call – such devastating news my heart stopped as soon as I saw her husband’s number on my phone. I hate what they’ve done to us, kept us apart from the people we love, I haven’t seen my friend since the 29th of May last year when during a hiatus in the madness we had a party for all our life-long friends and her brilliant son entertained us all with a stunning performance, ably supported by our own son. Such memories will fill the void and thank heavens there are many such wonderful memories because the void is so great.

Masks! The constant reminder of the value of propaganda and the gullibility of a large proportion of the population. How anyone can still believe masks are worthwhile is beyond me. It’s a classic example of people being broken by having to repeat an obvious lie.
Normally, I have sympathy for staff who are told to enforce the mask mandate. However, last night I was chipped by a volunteer Karen at a small theatre in South Perth. While waiting for the play to start, my darling wife and I sat down in a fairly large waiting/lounge room. There were four other people in the room, two had a wine while the rest of us didn’t. None of us were wearing masks.
Karen entered the room and went around individually telling the non-drinkers to put their masks on. When she told me to, I decided to emphasize the absurdity of the situation and asked her to pretend that I had a glass of wine. Seriously, how can anyone not see how stupid that rule is? Karen was a bit taken back but then claimed that I needed to consider whether it was appropriate to be questioning a volunteer about such things. The darling wife then took over and bit Karen’s head off who retreated without another word.
Vice Admiral Kay-Achim Schönbach stepped down as the head of the German navy after publicly saying Crimea was lost to Ukraine and that Vladimir Putin “probably” deserved respect.
As Russia supplies about half of Germany’s gas supplies and owns about a quarter of the gas in storage in Germany, with no alternative supplier to be found in the short to medium term, I’d venture to suggest the Rear Admiral was only stating the obvious.

I don’t agree, pretty clear that even in the absence of a government mandated lockdown, many people will change their behaviour in the presence of a pandemic disease.
Sweden is a very good example.
Qantas are cancelling flights, eg to Honolulu through February and March because people are reluctant to travel.
And it was distinctly my experience in early mid March 2020 when the morning coffee/brunch crowd absented themselves from my local cafe, I had the ‘have here’ to myself for a week before the government said anything.

Shouldn’t generalize I know I know, but Belgium is a rotten little place imho. How appropriate that the EU operates out of there.

Sweden is a very good example.
Sweden is culturally unique. The population is very, very obedient.
The behaviour changes can be shortlived, ie. the beginning of the pandemic when people were quickly in and out of venues because they feared the worst. But when lockdowns were formalised, behaviour patterns became locked in. The longer the behaviours were enforced, the more entrenched they become. Anyone who has had a smidgen of exposure to cognitive therapy will know this. It’s even worse with children.
The cancellation of flights now is evidence of the long term effects resulting in aversion to travel. Not to mention changing rules that may catch travellers mid-route.

In the current world of turmoil, grief, anger, frustration along with complete and utter contempt for those who falsely believe that they are our betters, there are at times, moments of great joy, happiness and beauty.
The old Irish Scot and his beloved have become grandparents again for the sixth time. Only two hours ago no. three son and his beautiful wife gave birth to their fourth baby (well, she did, am I allowed to say that lol) and finally we have a grand daughter.
Whilst we are over the moon (as are the other siblings) we are unable to visit as they are interstate. The Irish Scots anger is smouldering under the surface, however, the Welsh beloved is more than a little livid at the spivs, bums and numb nuts who continue to make most peoples lives a mess.
Thankfully we know that we are truly blessed and proud ,we do have skype and/or zoom to keep in touch. But my word grandmum would dearly to cuddle of the newest family addition.
Might sit and have a glass of wine with her tonight just to settle her.

French TV has low key covid ads to remind people to ventilate rooms with an open window ten minutes every hour when you have visitors.
I’ve also noticed older French men who normally greet with a handshake are fist bumping, which is quite jarring to see.
And like in Italy, most people use hand sanitiser before receiving Holy Communion.
Mask wearing is inconsistent though it’s mandatory, most people adopt the sensible, at a distance, under the chin, close contact put it on properly.
I suppose, when it is likely everyone knows at least one person who has died, people will maintain these behaviours, irritating though they are, but infinitely preferable to the former stay at home orders.
Looking forward to February when France is flagging further relaxation of rules.

Tripe.
The native people of Namibia are the Khoi/San, no one else.
German colonists treated them quite well.
The Herero and the Nama were Bantu herdsmen who entered Namibia after German Colonisation.
Relations were okay until the Herero and Nama started massacring German Settlers to the last child in 1904 but sparing British Settlers.
In other words, acting as proxy murderers for the British.
Now, the present day Government of Germany is totally cucked, but back in 1904 they didn’t have a lot of choices against an armed uprising funded and encouraged by the British Empire.

WE were told in High School that Leopold used the Belgian Congo as his personal plaything.
If that’s what you were told, then you were told wrong.
Leopold never set foot in Africa in his lifetime, his interests in the Congo were managed by Non Congolese and the atrocities carried out by the Congolese.
King Leopold derived no personal benefit from the tapping of Rubber Trees, but spent his share of the money on building beautiful buildings for the people of Belgium.
Control of the province passed from Leo to the Government in 1908 and, presumably, conditions for Congolese Rubber tappers improved from horrific to dismal, just like in the British Colonies.
Masks! The constant reminder of the value of propaganda and the gullibility of a large proportion of the population. How anyone can still believe masks are worthwhile is beyond me. It’s a classic example of people being broken by having to repeat an obvious lie.
Political correctness is communist propaganda writ small. In my study of communist societies, I came to the conclusion that the purpose of communist propaganda was not to persuade or convince, nor to inform, but to humiliate; and therefore, the less it corresponded to reality the better. When people are forced to remain silent when they are being told the most obvious lies, or even worse when they are forced to repeat the lies themselves, they lose once and for all their sense of probity. To assent to obvious lies is to co-operate with evil, and in some small way to become evil oneself. One’s standing to resist anything is thus eroded, and even destroyed. A society of emasculated liars is easy to control. I think if you examine political correctness, it has the same effect and is intended to.

Just had a call from my mate in NZ. Has only discovered within the last 2 weeks that government,health and media lie. Something I’ve been telling him for nearly 2 years, what prompted this I don’t know but it is good. I only hope his wife does too. He is quite influential in his small community as a voice of reason and for getting things done through community hard work. I’m waiting to hear if he has a go at another mate of his whose family own a newspaper. It seems the tide is turning, I could be wrong, been wrong before but I was wrong about that and was actually right. Right.

. Fact check: True. He has written a book called Johnny the Walrus which has made it to the top of the best seller list on Amazon — about a little boy who thinks he’s a walrus, mother is dealing with it as the usual childhood transient fantasy until the social media crowd pressure her into going further and indulging in the fantasy as if it is the reality. An absolute pisstake of the wolkfolk.

Oh, well, that’s all good. Flogging, starvation, murder, sex slavery and rape are all excused because there are beautiful buildings for the people of Belgium.
You’re talking like the old Zulu again, the stupid one.
This was the deal in the Congo:
The native congolese were set a daily tally of latex that they had to collect from the rubber trees in the plantation.
Demand for Rubber had exploded in the 1880s and The Congo was one of the few places it could be grown profitably.
Labourers who failed to collect their tally for the day might have a hand or a foot amputated by machete.
More commonly their children suffered the amputations. The Tibetan Elites inflicted similar punishments on their slaves.
Worse is happening in the Congo today.
There’s a War on for resources there that may have claimed 20 million lives.
This was obvious when they first announced OMG community spread last week. Now we get to see if McGowan is dumb enough to lock the city down. Will he cancel the Australia Day fireworks? He’s damned if he does, damned if he doesn’t. He’s already copped a lot of flak for abandoning his commitment to open the border, and I think he’ll be leery of cancelling the fireworks. On the other hand, if he lets them go ahead, there will be an explosion of cases linked to the show. Then he’ll be flayed for not cancelling them.
McGowan has flown high and flown far on the crude formula of pulling up the drawbridge and stoking parochialism. I’m going to enjoy his power dive into the ground.

If the histories I’ve read are any guide, Leopold spent considerable sums on the teenage prostitutes he kept as mistresses.
Leo liked ’em young, no doubt about that.
At least he stuck to females and didn’t abuse boys, like most other Royalty.
However, the profits out of the Congo were enormous.
He spent that on buildings that he bequeathed to the Nation.
Relations were okay until the Herero and Nama started massacring German Settlers to the last child in 1904 but sparing British Settlers.

A lot of chickens are coming home to roost for McGowan, and they’re going to make him look like the absolute plonker he is.
His perfect score for keeping Covid out is gone.
His decision to not open the borders at a time when OMG was already circulating in Perth – idiot. If he goes on to cancel the fireworks, he’s going to look like the Grinch taking revenge because he couldn’t steal Christmas. If the fireworks go ahead, they’ll be branded a ‘superspreader event’ (rightly or wrongly) and he’ll cop the blame.
He will probably attempt to suppress OMG, his efforts will fail, and he will look incompetent. The more heavy-handed the measures he takes, the worse it will be for him. The introduction of his vaxx passport regime will – at best – pass relatively unnoticed and be largely unenforced, or it will generate resentment. It’s not working. Nothing’s working! The numbers keep rising!
The media is going to scream blue bloody murder at the slightest strain on the hospital system. Then he will have to explain why he wasn’t able to make adequate preparations in the two Covid-free years he had. This will probably be unfair, but he deserves every bit of what’s coming, given the hysteria he’s whipped up and profited off of over the past two years.

Sunday lunch at the pub, catching up with locals. Seems most of the families in town with kids & teenagers have Covid or have had the coof.
Visited Mum in aged care, they’re just running the usual temp check and electronic sign in. Staff seemed to be back to hands on with the residents. Nice to see because for some that is the only human touch they get.

Fair cop on the slip up on unedifying. Alas it was, as Gerard Henderson would say, after gin and tonic time.
As for new poster, I was a regular commenter on the original Cat for several years, This re-incarnation was not widely publicised as far as I can tell and I have only recently caught up. As for appropriate language to suit a given situation I stand on my dig. The language of the football locker room and the public bar is not necessarily appropriate in a an assembly comprising young children, pensioners and everyone in between. The polite word for those who cannot show such basic social courtesies is “yobs” and there were plenty on display on Saturday not least amongst the organisers.
Dr Faustus says:

Let’s break it down:
In the first Para, Bill Maher is saying that the Vaccine will save your life.
In the second para he says that nothing can stop everybody from getting some variant of Covid/19.
Only possible conclusion to draw from those 2 paragraphs:
Bill Maher is saying that everybody must be fully vaccinated, end of story.

Why should we revert back to such a model? Well, to make people like this feel safe:
A typical ABC consumer, then. We need to lock down properly – no half measures! – so she can start getting more of that government cheese.
But let’s hear what an Expert has to say on the matter:
No, I’m pretty sure it’s the shutdowns that cause the greater economic loss. Unless you can explain how reduced economic activity is more damaging than an artificial and complete prohibition of economic activity across vast swathes of the economy.
Sigh. OMG ought to be the end of the pandemic. If it’s not, it’ll be because people like the above create and intensify the “recurring waves for many, many years” – every time a new variant emerges that causes the sniffles for half a day, they’ll have us lurching back into panic mode again. These people need to be told No. No, professor. No, silly scared woman photographer. We’re all moving on with our lives – I suggest you do the same.
We live in something which is a stepping stone to fascism.
Foul language is an irrelevant concern until we are safe from the nightmare of QR codes & a state of emergency forever and the imposition of an electronic big brother enforcing a social credit system.

Hi Neil?
Dick Ed
Atrocity propaganda from 1914 to stir up patriotism in Britain.
Proven to be FakeNews after the War.
More FakeNews from Dick Ed. Almost 1700 Belgian civilians were killed between 19 and 23 August 1914. Perhaps the shooting of Edith Cavell was also propaganda?
Lay off the gypsum Ed!
Just back from picking up a few things at the shops.
When I see someone – usually an OAPer – struggling to QR code I want to tell them not to bother as the authorities aren’t contact tracing anymore. But I know I’ll just be met with a blank stare.

In a total war situation (was it – I presume it was), involving a land invasion and occupation, this is actually a “good” outcome, pre PGM warfare.

They’re still contact tracing in the West (naturally – McGowan continues to belabour under the assumption his government will be able to get a handle on this outbreak). I wonder how many more “mystery” cases have to appear before they give up.
But people changed their behaviour dirong the pandemic because of the government shutdowns!
Ditto the mask and stab mandate bullshit! Why go out beyond the barest minima if you find you cannot breathe comfortably behind the face nappie (let alone the self-administered sweat-waterboardings in summer), and you’ve been told there is nowhere you are welcome to go anyway?
I don’t know just how many Cats have said it in various ways over the years, but we are truly poorly served by our alleged ‘expert’ classes in Australia…

Sorry Dot, I didn’t make it clear. Those are just the ones lined up against a wall and shot. Undoubtedly many others became collateral damage.
What a dill. The two are locked together like conjoined twins.
The shutdowns caused people to change their behaviour. No shutdowns, no behaviour change.

Shingles is a secondary disease which follows childhood chicken pox*. The virus stays dormant in your body, suppressed by your immune system. When your immune system is weakened, usually through the ageing process, the chicken pox virus reasserts itself as shingles.

Some bands make music look easy cos they keep it simple. Tull demonstrate that their music is hard: complex, intricate, demanding, physical, intelligent, multi-layered and a real team effort. They do it brilliantly, with each member at the top of their game to push the collective higher and higher. Amazing stuff!”

Economists say.
I noticed this backthread re Cassie’s need for surgery and her orthopaedic surgery costs.
I’ve known Cass for a while, but I’ve never known her to be a ‘keen gardener’.
I may be wrong, but I suspect there is a name confusion here with Calli.
And Calli, that gardenia of mine in the indoor conservatory is still struggling with tiny little black things like a fungus or insect droppings on the leaves, especially the undersides. Doing well on the new growth shooting upwards but lower down the leaves are yellowing and falling. I have used white oil and a light misting of household mortein in case it was unknown insects, but nothing works. Unusually too, a weblike cream residue is appearing all over the glazed pot. I wipe it off but it reappears. What is the best thing I can buy at Bunnings for this weird stuff?
Cassie sat next to it on Friday night but noticed nothing amiss. She did well to get up our steps.
If there Calli may have spotted the problem but she lives far away from Sydney.
I hope she has an answer anyway.
DnD
No one’s ever let on why McGowan is called Sneakers, so i’ll have a shot at it.
Sneakers was originally Snickers, a short chocolate covered bar.
Since Snickers’ minders knew the name couldn’t be memory holed, they changed it to Sneakers, which adds a layer of obfuscation.
How’s that sound?
Rex Franger?
Anybody?
I’ve heard economists could ‘soothsayers’ of the modern west
Dick Ed
The basis of any successful civilisation is Agriculture, specifically the raising of Cattle.
Do you do your bit by providing the bullsh1t?
That gardenia was a bad purchase. It was full of beautiful buds that I thought were about to burst forth. But it had an insect infestation (as Calli advised), seemed to be cured by white oil, but then all of the buds went black at the tips and all except one struggler bud failed to open and all eventually fell off.
That was the worst individual atrocity. During the 1914 advance, German troops murdered over 6,000 Belgian and French civilians in similar circumstances.
Ask any Belge and they’ll tell you.
One impressive thing is the extent and care with which the Belgians rebuilt after the war. Today Dinant looks just like the pretty little town that existed before being flattened by war.
If they outnumber everyone else they cease to be fuckwits. Consensus then says the sane are retarded.
Cassie – Nice to hear the mechanical knees are performing!
This comment is in honour of Cohen the Barbarian, who when asked “what’s best in life?” answered “Good dentistry.”
Not to be confused with Conan the Barbarbarian who yesterday ran over a Prius.
Let’s just say that for much of Mark McGowan’s early years in the ALP, he was a noted sycophant of major Party powerbrokers. The classic Australianism comes into play from there.
(Any references to chocolate ‘bars’ when even you understand that ‘Sneakers’ is a variation on ‘Boots,’ indicates that you are an appalingly sick-minded individual who needs banning, Grigory…)

Posted upthread about the opening of the archives of Imperial Germany in the mid 1960’s – Kaiser Wilhelm had territorial ambitions in Europe, equal to anything the “Austrian corporal with the funny mustache” had twenty years later.
Agriculture is the raising of plants; civilisation does not depend on this, plenty of horticulturalists are sporadic planters of various crops, as in New Guinea. Proper agriculture on which civilisations depends produces a storable surplus; usually some sort of grain crop. The domestication of animals is also no foundation alone for civilisation. Depends on what is domesticated and how it is used, often animal power is important for more than food, and cattle are only one of the important animals raised and depended upon. The place of the horse under civilisation is also worth inspecting. And it is Western Civilisation that the above mainly applies to. South American and to some extent Eastern Civilisations, were different in significant resources and produce. Jared Diamond, for all his faults, gives a reasonable overview.

I have only had a day and half of ‘freedom’ in Perth since May last year but here is a little snapshot of what I’ve seen in Perth City:
No business is enforcing QR coding, and nobody that I saw was bothered to do it voluntarily. The Old Mill Theatre, on the other hand, did enforce the QR code probably because it is run by (volunteer) Karens.
No business is enforcing masks, though plenty of people do wear them when they enter a business. I occasionally will wear the stupid thing if I don’t feel like putting an employee in an uncomfortable position, but generally don’t. I have been chipped twice: Once by the Karen at the theatre and the other by a ferry driver. It was encouraging to note that when the play started, over 50% of the patrons I could see took their masks off.
I have seen signs in businesses stating only the fully vaxxed (whatever that is these days in the West) can be served but, again, no one has asked to see my ‘passport’.
That’s a pretty big change in attitude since I was last here. I hope it continues next week when McClown cracks the whip harder and bans the
Jewsunvaxxed from society.Discussions on Belgium shoulld really include their governance of the Belgian Congo.
To bring balance.
I somehow think he might not be entirely willing to risk going any further or any harder.
At least, not for the moment.
Looks like it was Snickers after all.

Formula 1 has banned military air displays at Grands Prix on sustainability and environmental grounds.
Fly-bys and other demonstrations by military aircraft have become commonplace as part of events building up to the start of races.
There is also a concern the displays can be used to make geo-political statements with which F1 does not want to be associated.
However, it is likely groups such as the RAF’s Red Arrows will be permitted as they are less obviously linked to the military.
And fly-bys involving civilian aeroplanes – such as happen at some of the Middle Eastern races that are sponsored by airlines – will still be permitted as long as the planes are using sustainable fuels.
Err, some sad news, Cats. Yet another of my contemporaries has died, way before his time. A twin, adopted by high profile corporate parents and in my year at school with his brother.

German navy chief Schönbach resigns over comments on Putin, Crimea
Vice Admiral Kay-Achim Schönbach stepped down as the head of the German navy after publicly saying Crimea was lost to Ukraine and that Vladimir Putin “probably” deserved respect.
What were Schönbach’s remarks?
Schönbach made the comments during a talk that he gave in a visit to India. Speaking at the Manohar Parrikar Institute for Defence Studies and Analyses.
“What he really wants is respect,” the vice admiral said, speaking in English in remarks that were posted on a video on YouTube.
“And, my God, giving someone respect is low cost, even no cost. … It is easy to give him the respect he really demands — and probably also deserves,” Schönbach said, calling Russia an old and important country.
Schönbach said Russia’s actions in Ukraine needed to be addressed, but added that “the Crimea Peninsula is gone: It will never come back — this is a fact.”

Sorry to hear Rabz. It can be a terrible shock. Precious friends hidden in death’s dateless night.
Rubbish.
The German Governance of Namibia was also no better or worse than the other Colonial Powers, though probably better than France and Portugal.
OK, that’s it for the day. Dick ED has scaled the heights of stupidity and ignorance, no-one else is even in the race, including that ANU “economist”.
You bet Rabz in fact the older littlie was in my arms this morning as I received the call – such devastating news my heart stopped as soon as I saw her husband’s number on my phone. I hate what they’ve done to us, kept us apart from the people we love, I haven’t seen my friend since the 29th of May last year when during a hiatus in the madness we had a party for all our life-long friends and her brilliant son entertained us all with a stunning performance, ably supported by our own son. Such memories will fill the void and thank heavens there are many such wonderful memories because the void is so great.
Rabz and Tinta,
commiserations and prayers.
Masks! The constant reminder of the value of propaganda and the gullibility of a large proportion of the population. How anyone can still believe masks are worthwhile is beyond me. It’s a classic example of people being broken by having to repeat an obvious lie.
Normally, I have sympathy for staff who are told to enforce the mask mandate. However, last night I was chipped by a volunteer Karen at a small theatre in South Perth. While waiting for the play to start, my darling wife and I sat down in a fairly large waiting/lounge room. There were four other people in the room, two had a wine while the rest of us didn’t. None of us were wearing masks.
Karen entered the room and went around individually telling the non-drinkers to put their masks on. When she told me to, I decided to emphasize the absurdity of the situation and asked her to pretend that I had a glass of wine. Seriously, how can anyone not see how stupid that rule is? Karen was a bit taken back but then claimed that I needed to consider whether it was appropriate to be questioning a volunteer about such things. The darling wife then took over and bit Karen’s head off who retreated without another word.
Hopefully she learnt something but I doubt it.

As Russia supplies about half of Germany’s gas supplies and owns about a quarter of the gas in storage in Germany, with no alternative supplier to be found in the short to medium term, I’d venture to suggest the Rear Admiral was only stating the obvious.
I don’t agree, pretty clear that even in the absence of a government mandated lockdown, many people will change their behaviour in the presence of a pandemic disease.
Sweden is a very good example.
Qantas are cancelling flights, eg to Honolulu through February and March because people are reluctant to travel.
And it was distinctly my experience in early mid March 2020 when the morning coffee/brunch crowd absented themselves from my local cafe, I had the ‘have here’ to myself for a week before the government said anything.
Correctimundo.
Case closed, I believe?
Rabz and Tinta….commiserations. Stay strong.
All primary and secondary school staff will be required to wear masks indoors.
Makes me wonder how/why the Teachers Union(s) around Oz are able to dictate terms rather than teach .. Two, bloody, years and they’ve been on full pay whilst for most of the time kids have been at home .. instead of caving in to these bludgers why aren’t gummints ORDERING them back into classrooms on gummint this-is-hjoe-it-will-be instructions! …. gotta be as simple as …. NO work .. NO pay … of course, when your getting paid to stay home your not gonna be too keen to go back …….. FFS!
If that is so, then why are you still posting, Grigory?
You said Case closed. So turn your computer off and begone…
“The Belgian Government assumed control of the personal estate of King Leopold, in 1908, following revelations of atrocities perpetrated on those who were forced into virtual slavery.”
Correct…and even in the early 1900s there were outcries about what Leopold was doing in the Congo.
Conrad’s Heart of Darkness iirc
Commiserations Tinta and Rabz.
WE were told in High School that Leopold used the Belgian Congo as his personal plaything.
Shouldn’t generalize I know I know, but Belgium is a rotten little place imho. How appropriate that the EU operates out of there.
Sweden is culturally unique. The population is very, very obedient.
The behaviour changes can be shortlived, ie. the beginning of the pandemic when people were quickly in and out of venues because they feared the worst. But when lockdowns were formalised, behaviour patterns became locked in. The longer the behaviours were enforced, the more entrenched they become. Anyone who has had a smidgen of exposure to cognitive therapy will know this. It’s even worse with children.
The cancellation of flights now is evidence of the long term effects resulting in aversion to travel. Not to mention changing rules that may catch travellers mid-route.
In the current world of turmoil, grief, anger, frustration along with complete and utter contempt for those who falsely believe that they are our betters, there are at times, moments of great joy, happiness and beauty.
The old Irish Scot and his beloved have become grandparents again for the sixth time. Only two hours ago no. three son and his beautiful wife gave birth to their fourth baby (well, she did, am I allowed to say that lol) and finally we have a grand daughter.
Whilst we are over the moon (as are the other siblings) we are unable to visit as they are interstate. The Irish Scots anger is smouldering under the surface, however, the Welsh beloved is more than a little livid at the spivs, bums and numb nuts who continue to make most peoples lives a mess.
Thankfully we know that we are truly blessed and proud ,we do have skype and/or zoom to keep in touch. But my word grandmum would dearly to cuddle of the newest family addition.
Might sit and have a glass of wine with her tonight just to settle her.
French TV has low key covid ads to remind people to ventilate rooms with an open window ten minutes every hour when you have visitors.
I’ve also noticed older French men who normally greet with a handshake are fist bumping, which is quite jarring to see.
And like in Italy, most people use hand sanitiser before receiving Holy Communion.
Mask wearing is inconsistent though it’s mandatory, most people adopt the sensible, at a distance, under the chin, close contact put it on properly.
I suppose, when it is likely everyone knows at least one person who has died, people will maintain these behaviours, irritating though they are, but infinitely preferable to the former stay at home orders.
Looking forward to February when France is flagging further relaxation of rules.
Tripe.
The native people of Namibia are the Khoi/San, no one else.
German colonists treated them quite well.
The Herero and the Nama were Bantu herdsmen who entered Namibia after German Colonisation.
Relations were okay until the Herero and Nama started massacring German Settlers to the last child in 1904 but sparing British Settlers.
In other words, acting as proxy murderers for the British.
Now, the present day Government of Germany is totally cucked, but back in 1904 they didn’t have a lot of choices against an armed uprising funded and encouraged by the British Empire.
Deaths – and a birth.

Congratulations on the granddaughter Robert.
Seems to be lots of couples having babies, several of my daughters’ friends have just had or are about to to have babies.
I guess that’s not surprising all early, mid thirties, it’s time.
One of Craig’s favourite songs – he was after all, a child of the eighties …
Ballocks on stilts to both counts.
Heh. Masks can come in handy as sociological filtering devices, even though they don’t filter much else when it comes to Covid. Wear one under your nose. You’ll get some glares. Those people are the fuckwits. Avoid them, and get ready with a snappy riposte if one of them moans at you.
If that’s what you were told, then you were told wrong.
Leopold never set foot in Africa in his lifetime, his interests in the Congo were managed by Non Congolese and the atrocities carried out by the Congolese.
King Leopold derived no personal benefit from the tapping of Rubber Trees, but spent his share of the money on building beautiful buildings for the people of Belgium.
Control of the province passed from Leo to the Government in 1908 and, presumably, conditions for Congolese Rubber tappers improved from horrific to dismal, just like in the British Colonies.
Political correctness is communist propaganda writ small. In my study of communist societies, I came to the conclusion that the purpose of communist propaganda was not to persuade or convince, nor to inform, but to humiliate; and therefore, the less it corresponded to reality the better. When people are forced to remain silent when they are being told the most obvious lies, or even worse when they are forced to repeat the lies themselves, they lose once and for all their sense of probity. To assent to obvious lies is to co-operate with evil, and in some small way to become evil oneself. One’s standing to resist anything is thus eroded, and even destroyed. A society of emasculated liars is easy to control. I think if you examine political correctness, it has the same effect and is intended to.

ABL on the gender bullshit:
Matt Walsh DEBATES Trans Activists On Dr. Phil!
Walsh declares that his pronouns are handsome and brilliant and they must be used in addressing him.
My pronouns would be muscular, resolute and really smart.
Oh, well, that’s all good. Flogging, starvation, murder, sex slavery and rape are all excused because there are beautiful buildings for the people of Belgium.
Just had a call from my mate in NZ. Has only discovered within the last 2 weeks that government,health and media lie. Something I’ve been telling him for nearly 2 years, what prompted this I don’t know but it is good. I only hope his wife does too. He is quite influential in his small community as a voice of reason and for getting things done through community hard work. I’m waiting to hear if he has a go at another mate of his whose family own a newspaper. It seems the tide is turning, I could be wrong, been wrong before but I was wrong about that and was actually right. Right.
Thanks Timothy, Cassie and rosie and the kind thoughts of others here – the finality is very sobering –
what’s the word for somebody that puts themselves on a pedestal and proselytizes their own piety?
Wanker?
Oh … snap Cassie
prissy

Snickers’ nickname is because he’s a brown nose?
Well, why not call him Florsheims, Grosbys or Julius Marlowes?
Who wears sneakers at Labor Party functions?
Unconvincing.
I read that the name originated in the Navy, Snickers sounds about right.
The imagery for the fake Sneakers name is interesting tho.
Imagine if he was wearing a pair of those Bata Scouts with a compass in the heel?
Interested observers could guide him
“Matt Walsh DEBATES Trans Activists On Dr. Phil!”
Matt Walsh is a hero….and his most scathing and accurate comment on Dr Phil to the two sinister trans activists was as follows…”what you want to do is to appropriate women and womanhood and turn it into basically a costume that can be worn”.
100% true.
Has only discovered within the last 2 weeks that government,health and media lie.
Incredible that this is a revelation.
Robert what wonderful news congratulations, in the midst of sadness, thank heavens for joy and life.
If the histories I’ve read are any guide, Leopold spent considerable sums on the teenage prostitutes he kept as mistresses.
. Fact check: True. He has written a book called Johnny the Walrus which has made it to the top of the best seller list on Amazon — about a little boy who thinks he’s a walrus, mother is dealing with it as the usual childhood transient fantasy until the social media crowd pressure her into going further and indulging in the fantasy as if it is the reality. An absolute pisstake of the wolkfolk.
You’re talking like the old Zulu again, the stupid one.
This was the deal in the Congo:
The native congolese were set a daily tally of latex that they had to collect from the rubber trees in the plantation.
Demand for Rubber had exploded in the 1880s and The Congo was one of the few places it could be grown profitably.
Labourers who failed to collect their tally for the day might have a hand or a foot amputated by machete.
More commonly their children suffered the amputations. The Tibetan Elites inflicted similar punishments on their slaves.
Worse is happening in the Congo today.
There’s a War on for resources there that may have claimed 20 million lives.
For those Sweet Janeys out there … 😕
Boom:
Omicron can’t be ‘eliminated’ in WA, Health Minister concedes as case numbers jump
This was obvious when they first announced OMG community spread last week. Now we get to see if McGowan is dumb enough to lock the city down. Will he cancel the Australia Day fireworks? He’s damned if he does, damned if he doesn’t. He’s already copped a lot of flak for abandoning his commitment to open the border, and I think he’ll be leery of cancelling the fireworks. On the other hand, if he lets them go ahead, there will be an explosion of cases linked to the show. Then he’ll be flayed for not cancelling them.
McGowan has flown high and flown far on the crude formula of pulling up the drawbridge and stoking parochialism. I’m going to enjoy his power dive into the ground.
Leo liked ’em young, no doubt about that.
At least he stuck to females and didn’t abuse boys, like most other Royalty.
However, the profits out of the Congo were enormous.
He spent that on buildings that he bequeathed to the Nation.
Fuck off, Grigory.
And take your cheap, discount Bird act with you.

Grigory, come West and work for the railways.
I know of some locomotives that have dynamic brake faults. If we wired you into the dynamic grids instead, I and my fellow drivers would have all the retardation we need to keep our trains in check on the downgrades. So much retardation, in fact, that if we put you into maximum dyno, we could send the train backwards.

WA government still needs to talk to the public about ‘eliminating’ omicron.
Wow.
I guess you reap what you sow.
Meanwhile France has over 11 million cases and here, life seems normal, other than the little adjustments I mentioned upthread.
There is no supply chain disruption and hospitals are under pressure but that’s two years of same.

Yobs.
Haven’t heard that for ages.
I must remember to use that.
Often.
Probably on male Karens.
This is not an Australia I recognise.
Unjabbed thrown to the ground and arrested for trying to take their protest to a “covid passport” only shopping centre in Queensland.
I dunno, MA.
A male Karen is not the sort of boisterous, foul-mouthed, quick-tempered, belligerent and occasionally hilariously unintelligent caricature that the word ‘yob’ implies.
A ‘yob’ will stand up for itself when challenged, for good or ill.
A Karen is about as cunning (not wise, nor intelligent) as a shithouse rat. It will whine and wheedle and passive-aggro at you, then reach out from behind Mummy’s skirts to stab you in the back for whatever sins it believes you have committed. Then smarm and smirk and simper when Mummy/Daddy/Nanny Government punish you further for bleeding.

I see the queers and freaks have their special day at the AO tomorrow. What fuckwittery. Kids dress ups and face paints in drag too, just to enforce the notion that a hairy legged and chested bloke dressed up with tits and heels is entirely normal.
Anthro – are we good?
Dr. Roger Hodkinson does not mince words “When that penny starts to drop, the general public are going to be revolted!”
Boris is dropping all the mandates but, apparently, they’re still sacking unvaccinated NHS staff.
More footage of NHS staff and care workers throwing their uniforms at downing Street as they’re being sacked for not getting injected with the experimental covid jab.
All this talk of Belgium tempts me to go there.
However I’ve heard it’s only interesting for beer and chocolate.
A recap. Ed’s life philosophy:
‘I tell a lotta lies, pal.’
And their male and female seniors and non-uniformed civil functionaries are almost all universally Karens.
Same with many upper echelons of the Services.

Mr Brightside …
A lot of chickens are coming home to roost for McGowan, and they’re going to make him look like the absolute plonker he is.
His perfect score for keeping Covid out is gone.
His decision to not open the borders at a time when OMG was already circulating in Perth – idiot. If he goes on to cancel the fireworks, he’s going to look like the Grinch taking revenge because he couldn’t steal Christmas. If the fireworks go ahead, they’ll be branded a ‘superspreader event’ (rightly or wrongly) and he’ll cop the blame.
He will probably attempt to suppress OMG, his efforts will fail, and he will look incompetent. The more heavy-handed the measures he takes, the worse it will be for him. The introduction of his vaxx passport regime will – at best – pass relatively unnoticed and be largely unenforced, or it will generate resentment. It’s not working. Nothing’s working! The numbers keep rising!
The media is going to scream blue bloody murder at the slightest strain on the hospital system. Then he will have to explain why he wasn’t able to make adequate preparations in the two Covid-free years he had. This will probably be unfair, but he deserves every bit of what’s coming, given the hysteria he’s whipped up and profited off of over the past two years.
Have you ever seen someone garroted by their halo? You might be about to.

Excuse me, there is no randomised control trial that proves this statement. None that Pfizer paid for, anyway, and they’re the only types that count.
Pfizer CEO sees annual COVID vaccine rather than frequent boosters
They’re going the “effective against severe disease and death caused by the heavily-mutated Omicron variant but less effective in preventing transmission” route again. No proof, of course, unless you count the number of deaths of “vaccinated” people. But that’s not the kind of proof he’s after.
