Howard disarmed this country – allowing the scum to take over.
Never disarmed me – two high powered rifles- one a .303 – , a .22, and a 12 gauge shotgun, all quite legal.
I hear this quite a bit.
Tell me, ZKTA, how long do you think you’ll be able to keep them if you really need them?
I’m referring to needing them against a rogue government.
Being legal, the government knows who you are, where you live and exactly what legal firearms you have.
Should take WAPlod about half an hour to remedy that.

The Romans understood that controlling the ports and roads was imperative to the success of the empire. It’s the ultimate taxation point. Nothing comes in or out without a handout.
The Chinese are seeking a “new silk road” worldwide, and for good reason. What they and the socialists haven’t bargained for is that it works both ways.
The Canadian truckers actually illustrate this point perfectly. You can choke your opponent to death if you control the lines of supply.

Another one who failed the Arky test!
Somebody earlier in the day asked about coverage of 6 Jan Capitol protest.
The best two commentators on 6 Jan are Julie Kelly and Darren Beattie.
Julie writes many detailed articles about the events of Jan 6 including the mistreatment of those arrested, the investigations, FBI involvement etc. Her articles can be seen at American Greatness.
Darren is a former Trump staffer and his articles can be seen at Revolver News.
If you have not heard of Ray Epps by now that is where you will learn all about him.
Both also comment on the so called plot to kidnap Michigan Governor Gretchen Whittmer (D) where nearly half the participants were working for FBI. Plus the top three FBI agents will not be giving evidence. Defence lawyers are going to have fun at the trial.
Both also been on Tucker Carlson show.
Darren has previously been on Tim Pool’s podcast (a month ago) and as I write listening to Julie on Pool’s latest podcast. Tim has a Free Honk Honk T shirt which is quite cool and relates to both China and Canada and the Canadian truckers.

“Grace Tame attacked by vicious online trolls after serious crash
Sexual assault survivor Grace Tame has copped a savage pile-on from vicious online trolls after being rushed to hospital following a serious accident.
Ms Tame suffered a broken collarbone after the bike crash.
Ms Tame posted a photo to her Instagram story, showing her smiling face with her right thumb up, but her left arm was in a sling and had a nasty-looking graze.
“Bike stack, broken collarbone, thank you for understanding that we may take a while to respond,” she wrote.
“Out of hospital now and on the mend.”
Ms Tame was flooded with messages of support from fans and followers across Australia, but not everybody wished her well.
The 27-year-old also copped a barrage of personal attacks.
Ms Tame recently made headlines after appearing stone-faced beside Prime Minister Scott Morrison on the eve of Australia Day.
A series of awkward photos show her giving an icy side-eye look at the grinning Prime Minister.
In response to her bike crash, one cruel internet trolls wrote: “Well that’ll give her something to scowl about.”
Another responded: “Ouch! It looks like she fell off her high horse.”
Ms Tame has been a vocal critic of the federal government’s handling of women’s safety issues.
While her supporters backed her decision not to force a smile, others described her snub as rude and disrespectful.
Mr Morrison brushed off the incident, describing Ms Tame as a “passionate person” who had raised important issues after “terrible” things happened to her.
On Tuesday, Ms Tame wrote on social media about the incident, following some backlash from trolls.
“The survival of abuse culture is dependent on submissive smiles and self-defeating surrenders. It is dependent on hypocrisy,” she said.
“My past is only relevant to the extent that I have seen — in fact, I have worn — the consequences of civility for the sake of civility.
“What I did wasn’t an act of martyrdom in the gender culture war.
“It’s true that many women are sick of being told to smile, often by men, for the benefit of men.
“But it’s not just women who are conditioned to smile and conform to the visibly rotting status-quo. It’s all of us.”
Ms Tame and fellow advocate Brittany Higgins are scheduled to address the National Press Club next week.”
Oh and Brittany Higgins has a court case coming up…..you’d think wiser heads would advise her to keep shtum.
“And please, don’t carry on like Sancho”
Oh fuck off Fat Tony.. I don’t carry on like Sancho or KD or Rosie or anyone else for that matter. I’m Cassie and my comments, just like my opinions, are my own. And Razey has form…being sanctimonious, hypocritical and nasty.
Have been trucking lentils down to Donald (Vic).
It would be interesting to find out how much money, in real terms, is being spent on (a) new road construction and (b) maintenance of said roads.
It’s a fact in many instances that new paving, when it’s done, is woefully inadequate and 90% of new paving is being re-patched within a year.
It’s like no-one gives a shit about workmanship or oversight/quality.
I also have a theory that disproportionate sums are spent on the “traffic control” component of any job (attenuator trucks, escort vehicles, stop/go people everywhere etc etc), as a result there’s not enough in the “budget” to properly compact the sub grade layers or put a thick enough layer of bitumen on.
Once off the “A” roads the network is crumbling.
Victoria in particular is really bad.
What’s all this about being told to smile* or being conditioned to smile.
*I do recall being asked to say cheese for school photos.
“In NSW we are not doing vaccine mandates. This is the government we voted for. If you are unhappy with your governments over this, then don’t vote for them. Simples.”

Nikki Gemmell commenting on a film “The Lost Daughter:
This film captures the complex contradictions of motherhood, the sheer relentlessness of it. How some mothers can be… unmaternal. And we may be good mothers yet rage for something other, something easier as we implode with the impossibility of extricating ourselves from the vine-like tenacity of children.
The film reminded of my own nadir as a parent. Curled in the foetal position on the kitchen floor, clutching a throbbing head with two children under two beside me as I keened in despair, “I can’t do this, can’t.” How often is that kind of reality shown on screen? Yet it’s one many women recognise.

I’ve also noticed how shallow the boxing is for the sub grade. If the layer is thick enough then the soil and vegetation around doesn’t interact with the road and the shoulders remain intact. Crap shoulders are a result of crappy thin boxing.

The same goes for climate rubbish. Again the problem is that it’s obvious to everyone that Omicron is not especially bad, and that climate isn’t doing much.

Bush, Gez, the Bruce Highway here in CQ is a typical example of what you describe. They spent almost two years reconstructing selected bits of it, while totally ignoring the actual growing holes at either end of the selected bits. Those places that are breaking up are still being ignored, and will end up being actual holes large enough to park a sedan in.
The old ploy of doing nothing until there’s an accident, then only reducing the speed limit and putting up “rough surface” signs, common on state maintained roads, doesn’t solve the problem, but does leave govt more (borrowed) money to throw at Olympic Games bids and the like.
To be honest, some of the very old- as in these were laid down before I was born – single lane country roads are still more stable than this abomination of a “national highway”, even though they do carry loaded grain and cattle trucks.

Cummins owes the Cricket Australia machine. Owes them big time, because he was injured at 19 and received the best rehabilitative treatment in the world for years – for free – while remaining on retainer contracts not to be sneezed at, and was also groomed to be the first bowling captain in 70 years before he was fully recovered.
I note that Cummins’ zeal for renewable power hasn’t affected his bank balance, because he routinely appears in Alinta Energy ads as well.

Not sure of exact details but didn’t communists steal elections in eastern Europe after WW2? This exactly what happened in the US in 2020. Big business fully on board too.
No vaccine mandates in NSW.
Just lock you up until you comply.
We voted for fascist arseholes?
So it seems.
Protect me harder daddy.
Both barrels from Mark Latham. Excellent! RTWT.

Also, if you keep smiling, they don’t realise you’re auditioning alibi scenarios.

Over half the households in the US have amazon prime.
But that 17% price increase will not be reflected in the CPI numbers.
These streaming services sound like drug pushers. Get them hooked then increase the price.
There’s always the “off” switch. Starve the buggers.
Few things more irritating than a uniparty troll with their bullshit.
Not mentioning any names.
What’s the difference between NSW and other states?
The unvaxxed can go to a coffee shop and actually eat in.
Amazon Prime of course also gives free delivery for stuff bought from Amazon. It is an amazingly cheap service from that perspective. And crazy.
Buy a stack of stuff, say, soap, cotton buds, case of drinks, some electronics all in the one order.
If the cotton buds can be delivered next day, they get delivered, with the rest to arrive later. Perhaps over several deliveries.
On country roads.
Travelling to the Big Smoke the other day and I almost have a ‘mind map’ of where the worst craters are.
Thankfully a couple of really bad ones have been patched.
Anyway, rolling along in a line of traffic (not a convoy) and car up ahead taps the brakes and swerves to the middle of the road.
‘Pothole’ I thinks to meself.
Everyone slows a bit, twigging that there is a hazard, but opportunist 2 or 3 back pulls out to pass everyone at lightspeed.
When he gets level with the car in front of me he sees the problem – a pallet halfway across the single left lane.
Instead of gunning it past and making room he slows down and traps the other car in the left lane.
Fortunately the bloke managed to squeeze between pallet and dickhead.
Rang the cops in the town ahead and told them about the pallet but resisted the temptation to say anything about dickhead.
Justice was served though.
Twenty minutes down the road there he was, pulled over by Plod with the book out.
Oh, and Queensssland plates.
(Test) Cricket will probably disappear as a sport, possibly in my lifetime. It is played by a variety of small, insolvent countries that will never have the critical mass to be competitive; a small number of larger countries that once had the critical mass to be competitive and India, who couldn’t give a shit about the game outside India (and frankly don’t need to).
Good tone!

Catty? It was an honest question – whether the report had been reported in places other than those where people are already opposed to the lockdowns. If it was reported on MSNBC, or in the NYT or WaPo then it would be very significant – their viewers and readers have been sheltered from anything against the mask and lockdown narratives up until now. Otherwise it is similar to (but not the same since it introduces new facts) preaching to the converted.
As for research challenged, you came in yesterday with news of the report. I asked you where it had been reported (for the reasons above). All I expected was a simple answer like “It is in the Daily Mail. Not sure where else.” That would have been fine. I just wanted a bit more info, as far as you knew, regarding your news about the report. It would not be unreasonable to assume you knew things not included in your comment.
I was not asking you to furnish evidence.
Do you think that when people read a comment of yours that, before they ask you for more info, they should start trawling the net and maybe after 30 minutes find something you might have answered in 30 seconds?
Geez.
Speaking of potholes, I saw a promo for the TV series La Brea which is about a massive sink-hole opening up in LA.
It was filmed in Melbourne.
In one shot it appears that the sink-hole has swallowed up the Exchange Hotel in Port Melbourne.
This is a good thing.
Well, said, Mark Latham. But there’s another dimension to this.
If the autonomous self engaged in the pursuit of happiness, defined as the gratification of material & physical desires, is the be-all and end-all of life in this world, it’s no wonder people are prepared to accept deprivation of liberty, experimental vaccines and vaccine & mask mandates in the attempt to keep death at bay.
When there is nothing of transcendent value, the horizons of this world shrink as well.
NSW was sacking people not not getting the rotten injections. Nothing to crow about. As for voter choice, uniparty is the word.
Comment rejected by the Australian:
Morrison seems to think that by backing the WA Premier the people who voted in droves for Mr McGowan will turn to the LNP federally, despite he (Morrison) being supposedly for opening up and living with the virus. But now, he backs the locking down and sealing off from the rest of the country and world that McGowan has ordered.
This is either cynical or dishonest. He was either lying when he was for opening up or lying now when he backs McGowan. Either way it is two-faced and deceitful and repulsive to most fair minded people.
He is fool if he thinks those in favour of locking up people will now vote for him, and will lose tonnes of votes elsewhere, notably from his base. He does not seem to care.
One suspects he is actually deviously in favour of controlling the people as the Premiers have demonstrated, since he created national cabinet (I will not use capital letters) and turned a blind eye to the excesses and refusals to abide by supposed positions arrived at by this cabinet.
He is showing us that he is at least untrustworthy and more likely simply deceitful and dishonest.
Either way unworthy of being returned.
Hear is some tone.
A lot of places in Sydney at least still keep to the double jabbed thing.
Because brainwashed cretins.
Operations cancelled.
Police running amok.
Mask mandates.
NSW is certainly the envy of the free world.
Made up story.
Probably actionable.
Mummy, what’s dogging?
Go ask yer father.

It’s an internal contradiction of capitalism where corporations are happy to pal up with communists.
And then they all become happy little fascists.

I put this link up earlier but I’m repeating it in case anyone missed it because it needs to be seen to be believed and I have never heard it explained better. It had to have been intentional. There is absolutely no possibility that they didn’t know what they were doing.
Breaking News: Pfizer’s Own Stats: 1200+/40,000 Trial Participants Dead | Interview with Dr. Nagase
Pfizer’s COVID vaccine trial results; are these statistics “acceptable”?
Absolutely not. They wouldn’t be acceptable for any medication brought to market, this magnitude of side effects, 31% either died, had permanent disability or were not recovered. It’s insane that at the time of the report to government authorities, April 30th, 2021 that this drug, this injection wasn’t pulled off the market immediately.
And even worse outcomes for children, who are not at risk from the virus.
I had a look at the link in this post of the Pfizer “trial participants”. What was reported was so alarming (31% of trial participants either died or suffered significant disabilities) I wanted to know more.
I would point out that I too have been concerned for a long time about the safety of the vaccines. My wife is a GP and she is horrified at the prospective mandates for children to be vaccinated where the long term effects of it are unknown. The high incidence of myocarditis in young males particularly should be ringing alarm bells.
What concerns me about this post is that it has lashings of Mayo applied to it. The trial participants were not trial participants at all. The 40000 cases were adverse events reported between December 2020 and February 2021. These are not trial participants. They come from tens of millions of vaccinated cases.
While these numbers are high when compared to adverse events for other vaccines they come nowhere near 31% of recipients in a trial.
Dr Nagase’s credibility is seriously degraded by pushing figures that are demonstrably wrong in their classification. What is needed in this debate is data that stands up to scrutiny and not exaggeration and misrepresentation.
In The Sooner Meta Goes Tits Up The Better news:
Meta beta tester says she was ‘gang raped’ in virtual reality
Mark Zuckerberg: Patron Saint of the extremely unwell.
This is just casual observation but NSW seems to be more uptight about masks and checking in than vicco.
Even in the country
Bwah ha ha ha ha.
That bit was.
NSW plates actually.
Facebook is probably the most evil thing the 21st century have thrown up so far
dark.
I see Ted Runnybum has been questioning my courage overnight.
Righto Ted.
Let’s meet tonight to sort it out over a beer, man to bananafama.
5 o’clock.
Front bar, Exchange Hotel Port Melbourne.
Be there, big mouth!
I imagine runnybum always needs to be near a loo
Mr Zuckerberg continues with his long history of appropriating other people’s ideas. Facebook first and now Meta which is a copy of Second Life. Almost ten years after the fact too.
Unsurprising considering it’s development by a defective nerd to meet chicks in college who would never bother to speak to him IRL.
I’ll be at the end of the bar on the left as you walk in.
Right near the toilets.
No excuses.
I think it is the other way. It is not capitalism that has made the private sector so clingy with the government.
The government has to grow to such a size, and have its fat fingers in every pie, so there is no choice. Once you have to comply with government in whatever you do then the nature of business is to pursue policies which offer greatest reward and security. The big money is in government contracts, so businesses jump through every hoop and obey every command.

Do you chaps mind if I take a few snaps of this event?
Give you 10% each of the sales.
I wake to the email news that our high school has cancelled its opening Mass because batflu 300km away. Parent-teacher night will now be by “Zoom”.
Microsoft was built on a stolen idea too. Being first has never been important in IT. Being easier and being bigger is more important. Excel wasn’t even the best spreadsheet at the start.
Some corporations may as well be government departments but without some of the cushie conditions.
Thats only one reason bundy lives in a tent.
Sure as shit there were better OSs than windows like OS2.
New term for that hated word, breakfast.
Early lunch
I’ve always said , the first company with new tech may not be the best that wins through.
Go for it.
But set a fast shutter speed.
It won’t take me long to sort out that mouthy prick.
Bull. We’ve had pretty comprehensive regulations which are essentially vaccine mandates.
Neither the fed or state liberals have stopped this. NEVER forget this!
We’ve had no-vax exclusions for a whole raft of activities and services.
Non-essential shopping and community sports required vaccination.
The NSW Art Gallery still insists on vax for access, as does the Australian Museum.
Seem a few LNP shills popping up today.
There comments can’t be put down to parochialism.
NSW is far too cosmopolitan than that.
You know NSW.
That’s the one where the Armenian whore prorogued parliament and stamped on any dissidence.
I started out using Lotus 1-2-3.
Had to be dragged kicking and screaming to use Microtheft.
Brunch, JC ya illiterate doofes.
Will Zuckerberg end up delivering pizzas for Uncle Enzo?
Cats, i need advice on a new phone urgently.
Are there any you recommend to buy or avoid?
My old Sony Xperia finally carked it. I don’t need anything specifically that isn’t standard. Cheers.
