A West Australian Covid Karen being normal in public.

Much to unpack in that video, not least of which the guy kept taking his gimp-like mask off to scream abuse in the protestors face because it muffled him so bad nobody could hear him LOL. They don’t even believe this bullshit themselves – it’s purely a class marker. Also the optics of a young, fit healthy man, wearing a massive mask outside screaming abuse and squaring up at a middle aged dude about a cold virus. Man oh man, this is a mess that isn’t going to be sorted out in 20 years.

There’s definitely a shift in the last four weeks. Covid Karens are getting very, very agitated and their hysteria is now boiling over into pubic violence and confrontation in a way that it did not at the height of the “pandemic”.

The mrs came home from the shops yesterday distressed that nearly every single child was masked. A child asked their mum why our daughter wasn’t wearing a mask. This is new. How could this be? Six months ago, one month ago, the number of children wearing masks around here was nearly zero. It’s like there was just an instant total collapse right before the critical moment.

Something is happening in people’s minds as this wraps up. They don’t want to just let it go, it has to be a big hollywood grand finale for them, and if it’s not, they’ll make it one.

When you have 19 yr olds being touted as “underage” for outrageous outraging against “people we don’t like”, the normalisation of sex with children may still have a way to go.

The press, the lefties and the agitators will have to decide. It’s their fork in the road, not ours.

Great comment.

Of course the press, the lefties and the agitators have no problem accommodating their own cognitive dissonance, but they are scoring a few own goals in their pursuit of normalisation of perversion.

Last night I watched the doco “a Day in Auschwitz”, on SBS. It was followed by a doco on Nuremberg which I also watched. The Nuremberg doco wasn’t bad, It was rehashed scenes from better docos, but!!!, the last five minutes was spent on predicting the rise of far Right extremism which will lead to another round of War, complete with ancient footage of German Neo Nazis and, wait for it!, footage of President Trump. They even mentioned the Jan 6 riots and how Nationalist talk can lead to future uprising.

. . . BTW, re the normalisation of paedophilia, although I think the confusion re LGB and marriage is important, it’s what’s going on re trans that is the litmus because there we see actual harm to children being celebrated for ideological reasons.

It’s also being celebrated, and eagerly pushed, because various national governments have allowed it to become a legally acceptable way for homosexuals to groom kids in anticipation of fiddling with them. Using public funds, too.

Gab gave legalisation ten years, upthread. On present trends I reckon that’s unrealistically optimistic. The next left-wing government will float it (‘a sad but all-too-human medical condition’) in their first term, and ram it up our bottoms in the second term.

Had a good morning chuckle thanks to the ABC news site.

Inside Ukraine, ordinary citizens are preparing for possible invasion by Russia

According to the ABC:
In sub-zero temperatures, in the woods outside of Kyiv, the men and women of Ukraine’s Territorial Defence Force are preparing for an invasion they fear is coming. Each weekend, these volunteers meet up to carry out training drills under the supervision of former military officers.

They are civilians who come from all walks of life: lawyers, business owners and IT programmers who are prepared to take up arms to defend their country. They range in age from their 20s to their 60s. Some are wearing military fatigues, others jeans and puffer jackets. The more experienced bring their own weapons while wooden replicas are supplied for novices.

Ok I thought. Some motivated ex-military have seen a business opportunity and are offering ‘defence classes’ to civilians. Good luck to them. Then, this gem….

Vadym Arystov is a 57-year-old managing director of a property business. He has never been in the military, but now finds himself spending his weekends doing infantry drills. He is worried about the threat posed by Russia and feels duty-bound to be part of the volunteer force.

They have a photo. So, 57 years old, no military experience, portly and out of condition. What is that phrase I’m searching for? Oh yes, cannon fodder. Then this….

A recent survey from the Ukraine Future Institute suggested that one-third of Ukraine’s population — roughly 13 million people — would be willing to join an armed resistance if an invasion took place.

Uh huh. Right up to the moment the bullets, shells and missiles start flying. At a guess, I reckon a similar percentage of Australians would offer the same survey result if asked about a Chinese invasion but on the day, I suspect things would downshift dramatically.

I don’t believe Russia will invade but the story was good for a laugh on a Monday morning.

Where as you had (courtesy of Nine shareholders) Albo, Peter Costello, Karl Stefanovic all wearing masks.

Cowin & Harry can do what they want.

A very good point:

The statement by Archbishop Mark Coleridge of Brisbane on the cardinal’s failed appeal in August 2019 was particularly cringe-inducing, with its waffling call to Australians to “accept” the judgment of the appellate court while the case played out in its final phase. That the dissenting judge Mark Weinberg had the courage to say that the appellate judgment made no sense and the president of the Australian bishops’ conference could not bring himself to do the same is, at the very least, noteworthy.

Scott Morrison, Coalition suffer huge blow in latest Newspoll as PM’s satisfaction rating drops to lowest since 2020 (Sky News, 31 Jan)

Prime Minister Scott Morrison has suffered a huge blow in the latest polls ahead of the federal election with his net satisfaction rating dropping 11 points, according to the latest survey published in The Australian.

The first Newspoll for the year shows Labor is the preferred party in leading the nation out of the pandemic as the Liberal-National Coalition slump to its lowest level since September 2018.

The primary vote for the Liberal-Nationals fell two points to 34 per cent while Labor lifted three points to 41 per cent.

Not exactly. 80% of the fresh foodstuffs sold in Coles alone in WA is locally sourced.

It’s all the snacks, sweets, non-boutique booze, bogroll, curiously essential Big W/Target/Kmart kitsch, automotive parts and other small-but-otherwise-essential equipment that comes in from over East that may be the breakpoint.

But Fremantle, Bunbury, Gero, Albany and Canarvon ports are all still open. So the pretence of life-as-usual might struggle on for the next 3-4 weeks while the natural obstacles to entry to WA are fixed. Hopefully more permanently this time around.

Worth noting again that this story first “broke” in August last year, then went immediately silent but percolated away on leftwing semi-mainstream media. In the same week the Daryl Maguire story broke re Gladys at the 15 million dollar “grant”.

Also the same week that both Morrison and Gladys completely collapsed as a force of at least mild opposition to Covid and to everyone’s astonishment, and outrage became absolute Covid maniacs and raped the people of NSW and allowed a new level of hell to be unleashed on Australia.

This is disingenuous bullshit of course. The bloke transferred ownership of the house before the case was heard.

This bastard is a typical leftie: a bully and a coward when the chips fall. If only conservatives had taken a no prisoner approach to the left about 10 years ago but they have capitulated basically since little Johnnie.

Defamation cases are some of the more expensive legal cases. Frydenberg has negotiated it down to $400k which is as cheap as the leftie’s urine sample. This figure must be approved by the court. If the devious little shit has transferred his share of the house as part of the preparation for the case it will still be on the table via the Relations Back rule. Since he is a greenie I think it would be appropriate for him to be turfed and have to live in a cave.

A same-sex penguin couple has become foster parents to a newborn hatchling in a first for an upstate New York zoo.

Humboldt penguins Elmer and Lima first got together this past mating season, and built a nest together in the fall, which they have both defended from incoming predators.

Their devotion to each other led officials at the Rosamond Gifford Zoo to test how the two would be as parents, using a dummy egg, before letting them take care of a fertilized egg of their own.

The baby penguin was born healthy on New Years Day, and weighed a healthy 8 ounces at its first health check at just five days old, zoo officials announced on Friday. The hatchling has not yet been named.*

The first Newspoll for the year shows Labor is the preferred party in leading the nation out of the pandemic as the Liberal-National Coalition slump to its lowest level since September 2018.

Pretty terrible for Moron personally.

But very lo-info, considering none of those polled have any real idea what Therapeutic Albo is actually offering. Particularly in terms of “leading the nation out of the pandemic” – whatever that is supposed to mean.

Unlikely that Scummo is going to be gifted a Bob Brown Convoy redux. So, based on similar previous predictions, this polling is pointing towards a narrow Labor win on the ‘sitting government has been there too long being useless’ vibe.

Hopefully there are enough PHON/indie/weirdo Senators to clip the upper house.

Someone might ask him why he forced nursing homes to keep infected patients in July 2020 then.

But Sutton said not all infected residents in Melbourne will be moved.

“I don’t think it’s always the case that patients in aged care, residents who test positive, need to be transferred. Sometimes the safest place for them is to remain in that facility, but we’ll always make a consideration and it will be a clinical judgment of the treating doctor for those patients,” he said.

I’ve not bothered to read Bruce Pascoe’s book but his motivation for making such exaggerated claims bears considering.

It occurred to me that with the current push on for aboriginal sovereignty* it may well be a ruse designed to bolster in the public’s mind the claim that aboriginals were not hunter gatherer nomads but were settled on the land and practicing agriculture & the husbandry of animal and fish resources. This might make the public more sympathetic to the notion of settled indigenous “nations”.

* Something that, I think, would never have occurred to the activists of two generations ago who pushed for the 1967 referendum. Their cause was almost precisely the opposite – a constitutional recognition of the sovereignty of the Commonwealth over aboriginal people with the accompanying power to legilsate for them.

Last month, President Putin told journalists that he believes progressive Western ideas are infiltrating Russia, particularly in the area of LGBT rights. “I believe that the traditional approach is correct,” he commented. “Male is male, female is female, mother is mother, and father is father. I sincerely hope that our society has the moral armor to protect us against this.”

In 2013, Putin signed Russia’s so-called “gay propaganda law,” which prohibits the distribution of material deemed to promote “non-traditional sexual relationships” among minors. The legislation, which was passed with the stated goal of protecting children from being exposed to homosexuality, has been criticized domestically and internationally as an attack on LGBT rights. The Kremlin has defended it as a measure to preserve traditional family values.

Last year, Putin signed into force a series of constitutional reforms following a nationwide vote. Among them was the stipulation that marriage is defined solely as a union between a man and a woman.

Great stuff.
The truth is the EU/NATO is now the communist bloc.

Interestingly, amongst G.K. Chesterton’s many warnings & ‘predictions’ is that Russia would once again step up to revive Christianity in ever more ‘secular’ Western Europe.

That would seem about right.

The problem is not the ships themselves (let alone container availability), but rather dock space.

If you can cycle ships in and out of port swiftly, their value as carriers will increase as the demand goes up. Ships at anchor and stuck in port due to terrestrial government authority and union stupidity and powerplays = No value as carriers.

Mate picking up his shipment from Europe to Brisbane in 3 days. Ship left mid December. Had to pay $10,000 vs the usual $3000.

If you can cycle ships in and out of port swiftly, their value as carriers will increase as the demand goes up. Ships at anchor and stuck in port due to terrestrial government authority and union stupidity and powerplays = No value as carriers.

Or alternatively, they manage their risk by building a conservative amount of demurrage into their inbound freight rates to bottleneck ports.

Interestingly, amongst G.K. Chesterton’s many warnings & ‘predictions’ is that Russia would once again step up to revive Christianity in ever more ‘secular’ Western Europe.

Putin says stuff that makes the needy all worm and fuzzy proclaiming him the saviour of Christianity. Among many others things he presides over a coulter not known for its fidelity of men or chastity of women.

He is trolling the west nothing more.

Where are most ‘teen’ model sites based, srr?

Would be totally out of his leadership depth running a Brownie troop. He”s completely pathetic and the 4 vax nonsense proves it.

Be Daniel Andrews gang in 2020.

Hardened communist political brawlers who regularly cross the line on the law and treat parliament as a punching bag and parliamentary democracy as a contemptuous bug.

Have the opportunity to run the state with no parliamentary oversight, no judicial oversight, no media oversight and 100% of the state’s brand new, never before used, “emergency” power in the hands of one single lonely, politically naive loser that you control.

I’m certain the power didn’t corrupt them. Ole Honest Abe Andrews and his gang.

Cassie earlier:-

And by the way, the other night I was accused by a well known conspiratorial nong who posts here of focusing on “George Pell”.

Because said conspiratorial nong hasn’t been quite able to come to terms with Pell’s exoneration by the High Court.
To be fair, he does have red shoes.
And likes pizza.

Lets assume that this time Cassie’s too gutless to name me directly, knowing she’s about to spin BS.

What I made clear was that the multi-named sock draw of creeps, Cassie and others keep using the injustice done to Pell to declare others “innocent”, even when already convicted, ‘Cos gee, Pell was wrongly convicted so all convicted, must be innocent.’

It really is an abhorrent stand to take when Pell himself did so much to help bring Justice to victims of paedophiles and tried so hard to fight the protections given the abusers.

And while on Pell; I have occasions to come into Ballarat where it’s still hard to avoid people cursing the man to my face (due to little things like wearing a Cross & not denying my faith), and my asking them –
“What about the Police and the Politicians that victims go to when they can’t get redress from the Church or have their faith so shattered as to wanting to take down the Church?”

“Why didn’t they step up & bring charges against the actual abusing priests?”

“Has it occurred to you that Police & Politicians were also involved in paedophilia and so, ‘looked after their own’?”

You know it’s much harder having these conversations with Christ, Church & Pell haters, face to face because their hate is insane & violent and they desperately want to shut you down by branding you a ‘paedophile protector’.

Pell didn’t protect paedophiles.
He sacked them but they crawled back to the Pope & got their jobs back.
Yet Non-Christians here still abuse Pell’s name by using it to libel & shut down others who don’t protect & blow cover smoke for paedophiles.

Sancho Panzer says:

If society continues on its current trajectory spearheaded by the left, paedophilia will be a thing of the past because it will be normalised.

By all means fight that fight.
But naming “high profile” members of “worldwide pedo rings” sans evidence is disgusting.
Nearly as bad as the crime itself.
We’ve had a couple of serial offenders here and at the Old Cat.
The next time might be their last.

I sometimes post MSM News of major busts of large, international paedophile rings (membership in the tens of thousands), two of the biggest having key Australian involvement and the latest (that started this current round of, ‘Lets make jokes about Baby Rapists and lie about srr.’), being a number of busts in Germany after they were pressured to take these crimes more seriously.

Interestingly to, we’ve had cats here who’ve done the, ‘You’re and old man & go to Asian countries. That’s what paedophiles do.’, to other cats here who they don’t like, but hey, that’s fine.

Smart people who don’t want to sound like apologists for child sex slavers would simply shut up when News of say, 40 Years of Police & Govt enabled Child Sex Slavery in just one of very many British towns, breaks, instead of attacking the posters of such news with ridiculous lies.

Also, Epstein & Maxwell did groom, abuse and traffic children internationally for sex.
That is not disputed.
That’s been proven at Law.
Some continued to work for them as child procurers when they themselves were no longer children but very well aware that there was no crossing those people who had the very powerful by the balls.

Abusing & using those broken women who were groomed as children, to again blow cover smoke for powerful people isn’t only disgusting, it’s evil.

Eyrie, Funny you mention December , because we had a machine shipped over from Italy and it boarded the ship a couple of weeks ago. There was no change to the freight charges.

You are constantly looking for causes to latch onto for a few minutes’ hate, and this is merely the latest.

Eggsactly, not a single person said that and USSR is just lying, which isn’t a surprise in the least. What I said was this:

If we make a linear progression using USSR’s distorted, conspiratorial illogical crap: she’s been plastering this site with the theory that the global elite have a thing going with all of them rooting kids. Like it or not, Pell is part of the elite because as a freaking Cardinal he qualifies.

USSR is in a pickle jar. Either Pell is guilty of rooting those two or her entire theory can be chucked in the toilet.

USSR, pull up the lid and get the toilet brush. We’re flushing your theory down the dunny.
