I agree. The platforms themselves need to isolate Australians as a group. The screams of fury would be audible on…

The state of Australian “democracy”:
NT:
We have been run for two years by a secretive Junta of seven people that meets over zoom a couple of times a month and calls itself the “National Cabinet” and illegally pretend to exist as a formal governing legal entity under the Commonwealth – despite already being smacked by a magistrate saying they’re not. They meet, they secretly agree on the new “rules” – nobody knows how that actually happens (vote, drawing straws, sacrificing babies and reading the entrails), that we’re all going to live by, then go out, return to their provinces and order their CHO puppets to implement the “rules” under these unlimited never ending emergency powers acts.
It really was a revolution.
Some of them very permanent homes.
I was thinking more generally to all the aging rockers. Paul Kelly (of Coloured Girls fame), the bloke from Hoodoo Gurus etc.

Among the middle and upper classes, perhaps. It just means future Australians will be bogans. Those with a lot less to lose and from the legally favoured underclass will still pop em out as fast as they can if only coz there’s money to be made.

One possible tell that proceedings might be a tad prejudicial is that they include these agenda items at the outset:-

PREVIEW: The Wisdom of Ecclesiastes

The Lotus Eaters Published February 14, 2022
Rumble — Carl sits down with Luke Avery to discuss the fascinating wisdom and epic scope of the Book of Ecclesiastes.
Did St Ruth get a gig?
… hope I die before I get old … Well THAT didn’t happen.
Has anybody seen my prune juice?
If Australia were turned into a satellite client state of China – similar to the old soviet puppet states, how would they rule this country any differently than this?
CCP influence and ideology – which we could just generally call “globalist” ideology, shared by the international “institutions” like the UN, WHO, WEF, etc – flows relentlessly into Australia like a river, it is everywhere, ASIO called it two years ago: “every aspect of Australian society”. It starts with their money and ends with an ‘elite’ class propped up by their rivers of cash entering the country and their secret backroom interventions in our society, from politics to media, to business, all of who are enamored with their way of operating with impunity. They openly write about how they’re impressed with China’s ability to “get things done in public policy” (aka smashing the face in of their class enemies who disagree – witness Victoria and Sydney last year for what their “getting things done” looks like in real terms), they look dreamily on the promised utopian Chinese city where “citizens” are tracked, monitored and controlled to create the perfect zero crime, high productivity, disease free, ordered ant-farm.
The same thing occurred this time last century, it’s a two second look to find prominent people from the old ruling class declaring the wonders of Soviet communism and fascism for the exact same reasons. This ideology has seeped into every institution, the ruling class are hopelessly compromised by it and many are too stupid too even recognise it. They rely on it wholly, they rely on the money directly and indirectly that flows here from China, they rely on the institutions being compromised by Chinese influence to simply exist and retain their stranglehold over the control grid that governs our mass society, and they increasingly feel they must rely on violence to “protect” themselves from “us” – the people who are starting to physically reject it.
Say no to geriatric rock. Let them enjoy their twilight years – looking at old Ferraris they can’t get into in restored barns they didn’t even know they own but their accountant told them about but they forgot.

You’re on fire today bro. I’m enjoying it.
You do know that their frontman and singer Marc Hunter died years ago? Without him, they would have been nothing.
I don’t know how the others are faring, but it is unlikely that royalties from a few hits in Australia decades ago are funding a lavish lifestyle.
Oh, and they weren’t ‘likely’ indulging in ‘a crude hedonism.’ They did it to the max, unfortunately. The Hunter bros were both heavily into smack, and only one of them, Todd, survived to tell the tale.
I don’t understand the point of this moralism about artists as people versus their output as artists. Artists, as a group, are frootloops. That’s one of the things that makes them artists. Complaining about that is pointless. They are also attracted to leftism, because they ‘think’ with their feelings, not with their rational brains. That is also one of the things that makes them artists.
If an artist is also a rapist or murderer or something like that – sure, go after them. But pursuing them because of their deluded politics is like blaming ducks for quacking.

Among other actions, the Canadian government will freeze the assets of truck owners participating in the protests and suspend their insurance policies. In addition, the prime minister said that, under the Emergencies Act, the government will have the power to “compel” tow-truck drivers to remove rigs blocking roads, which sounds an awful lot like forced labor, i.e. slavery.
So without due process they have
.Frozen individuals and business bank accounts
.Cancelled or made void insurance policies of individuals and businesses
.Gained the power to conscript people to take action. (such as driving uninsured vehicles)
.Granted themselves the power to shut down crowd funding sites.
All under powers generally reserved for wartime occurrences.
C’mon Bear now you’re acting like an old woman.

Bogans with a decent education (work ethic, sense of pride rather than entitlement) and a grasp of history would do more good for the country than all the smug poseurs at Fauxfacts and the ABC who consider they know politics and therefore, as they see it, know everything.
Lotocoti mentioned this above:
So, not only are they allowed to freeze accounts without court order, they are legally immune from any recourse.
RCMP sabotages privately owned excavators on private property, and admit it.
Expensively “immobilized” so that they couldn’t be used for anything Trudeau doesn’t like.
So, not only are they allowed to freeze accounts without court order, they are legally immune from any recourse.
This has to be unconstitutional, surely.
This is another reason that despite all the evidence to the contrary, the, ‘we’re too good for the mongs we’re paid to hoodwink’, paid social media propagandists still keep insisting that the Jabs don’t negatively affect fertility.
Some don’t know better, some outright lie.
The Many Times Publicly Stated (even literally carved in stone), Aim To Dramatically Reduce The Global Population, has been tied to “vaccinations” for a very long time.
Now, as the one, two & no child people are getting old and seeing the evils of the Anti-Breeders they are warning all they know to drop that insane thinking and have families, big, beautiful families.
The Globalists who did so much damage with their Anti-Breeder Propaganda also knew they couldn’t pull it off for too many generations, hence the Global Mandating of this Humanity Destroying CON-cock-shun.
So on one man’s say so now all property rights, freedoms and ability to protest has been voided in Canada.
Oh. Isn’t there a word describing that form of government? On the tip of my tongue, starts with “d”.
Of course it is. But it will take you at least a year to prove it in court, guaranteeing the pig state short-term victory — all that is required to keep its zonbie rank-and-file cheering for fascism in the current news cycle.
That’s the way the modern pig state rolls.
Bruce. Fuckedocracy is the word you seek.
Correct.
It is a short-term starvation tactic.
A couple of months back, that Barnes chap on the Viva Frei show said in the US the Supreme court can kind of censure the President if they view an executive order that was given if if was known to be blatantly unconstitutional.
From memory it was during the time when FDR was getting spanked by the Supreme Court & they were going to go nuclear on him but he withdraw the EO instead.
On the tip of my tongue, starts with “d”.

One man, one vote, once.
I think two of The Dragons are deceased.
Drummer Neil Storey died of heroin overdose 1976.
Keyboardist and main songwriter, Paul Hewson died in similar circumstances in 1985.
The great Marc Hunter died in 1998 of cancer aged 44. I have visited his grave on the South Coast of NSW.
I think the only original member is Todd Hunter who is milking every last drop out of a very diminished Dragon name. I assume he and/or his manager were the ones behind the press release against Scott. My brother saw them some time back. When the band members have to sit on stools to play sets you know you should retire.
Thanks, Hugh. They admit that they vandalised people’s personal property in case they did something.
And, we’re not talking a few hundred bucks here. What they did to this very expensive equipment is going to cost many thousands of dollars to fix, not to mention the lost time for the owner/operators.
But, what does Justin Fairybread care? It’s only taxpayers’ money at risk.
What a nasty and malevolent piece of work he is.

Oh. Isn’t there a word describing that form of government? On the tip of my tongue, starts with “d”.

We would all be so much better off if twostix was wrong about everything rather than practically always right.
And to think they can launch these technological jewels into space, and keep them going for a decade + in the most hostile environment known to mankind. It always amazes me how damn smart we humans are yet, simultaneously so stupid. And there are no atomic clocks in Australia because, you know its nuclear powered, FFS.

They’ve ALWAYS known about the Jab’s attack against fertility in men and women and yet that’s the one evil their paid social media propagandist still work the hardest at trying to CONvince people the Jabs don’t do.
The Trudeau measures are brilliant – for the freedom protestors.
Have none of his laptop cowboys spent any time assessing the demonstrated character of the Canadian community he is assaulting.
He has just ensured the emnity of the fence sitters who have been shown that everyone outside of the administrative state is now denied civil rights.

Via Reuters:
‘The Canadian Parliament must approve the use of the emergency measures within seven days, and the left-leaning New Democrat party said it would support Trudeau’s Liberal minority government to pass the measures.
Ontario, which declared a state of emergency on Friday, backed the move. But premiers in Alberta, Quebec, Manitoba and Saskatchewan opposed the plan. Quebec’s Premier Francois Legault said using emergency powers risked putting “oil on the fire.”
Ontario said it will speed up its plan to remove proof-of-vaccination requirements and lift pandemic-related capacity limits for many businesses while Alberta ended its mask requirements for school children on Monday.
The Canadian Civil Liberties Association said the government had not met the standard for invoking the Emergencies Act, which is intended to deal with threats to “sovereignty, security and territorial integrity”.’
It seems Canada at least still has some liberals who value personal liberty.
I don’t think Trudeau & his Liberal Party, which lost the popular vote in both 2019 & 2021, is going to come out of this ahead.
Today Canada has officially become a Dictatorship.
Important question:
Will Trudeau’s eyebrows dislodge when he hits the end of the rope?
“Remarkable, Trudeau Government Use Emergency Act to Seize Bank Accounts of Protestors, You Cannot Protest Government and Maintain a Bank Account in Canada”
You gotta wonder….
Is this part of the plan? Get them to use Bitcoin etc to move the money around. Fiat currencies collapse, because many, having been stung once already, won’t go back to “real” cash. More and bigger emergency! Needs more GovCo control to “fix” it. Ban bitcoin, replace existing fiat with “approved” digital currency so “criminals” can be traced and imprisoned.
Part of the “Great Reset”?
See also: US National Guard doing a lot of things already – replacement teachers, nursing staff etc. Add UBI, deliberately destroy jobs (vax mandate) and replace people with GovCo funded “emergency” replacements to “keep people safe” and “keep the economy going” and making sue that children learn “The Truth”. Quickly becomes a permanent change and grows until everyone is a GovCo employee. No small business – you can only buy from Big Box stores on-line. All carefully planned by our “betters”.
Seems familiar – can anyone remind me where we had centrally planned economies before and how well they went? They wouldn’t replicate something that went horribly wrong before, would they? You trust our Government, don’t you?

That was not what I was doing. I was suggesting that the artists who write the music in their youth are different people than they are when they are older. I can happily think an old rocker a boorish curmudgeon without it diminishing their work from when they were younger.

They really have declared war on the people- the government has lost all faith and respect in the demos and will therefore dismiss them or words to that effect. As I’ve before, the Tides Foundation was heavily involved in the original ‘election’ of the dauphin.

“A knife can get you a pistol and a pistol can get you a rifle”
From “Unintended Consequences” by John C. Ross.
Tesla must either be the worst place to work or the easiest mark.
California’s Department of Fair Employment and Housing is suing Elon Musk’s company Tesla over racism and harassment toward Black employees at Tesla’s plant in Fremont, Calif., according to a lawsuit filed by the state this week. The company has called the lawsuit “unfair.”
he lawsuit says Tesla “turned, and continue to turn, a blind eye” to the years of complaints from Black employees at the factory. For example, Tesla allegedly is slow to clean up racist graffiti, including ones with swastikas, KKK, the N-word and other hate symbols that were drawn in common areas and on the factory machines.
The lawsuit says one Black worker saw “hang N[ ]” written next to an image of a noose in the bathroom of the break room. The same worker also saw “all monkeys work outside” and “fuck N[ ]” written on the walls of the break room. The writing and drawings allegedly remained for months.
Discrimination against Black employees was constant, the lawsuit says, and has been going on as early as 2012, the year after Tesla started production there. Black workers at Tesla complained that managers and supervisors “constantly” used the N-word and other racial slurs toward them and other Black workers.
Some workers at Tesla with tattoos of the Confederate flag would make their tattoos visible to intimidate Black workers, according to the lawsuit. Workers at Tesla also allegedly referred to the factory as the “slaveship” or “the plantation,” in addition to other slurs. “One Black worker heard these racial slurs as often as 50-100 times a day,” the lawsuit states.
Black workers had to clean the factory floor on their hands and knees while others apparently did not, the lawsuit says, and Black employees were assigned to more physically demanding work.
If Black employees complained about the harassment and discrimination, they were retaliated against, prosecutors say. And Tesla refused to take “all reasonable steps necessary” to prevent the ongoing discrimination, harassment and retaliation.
So many here are down on the UAP and some on PHON. So please tell me if you’re going to vote Lib or Labor and why. I’m asking because if you don’t like what has happened to us over the past two years, why would you vote for more of the same? If you want change it will only come from not voting Lib or Labor, nothing else will work. There isn’t a policy difference between the Libs and Labor, either one gaining power will just see it as an endorsement of their support for the recent and current destruction of our society.

Bern, the LDP are definitely running and they have a great candidate…..Daniel Lewkovitz. A group of us had a meeting last week. I’ll send you information. I think Daniel will be able to get some traction….he’ll use his contacts with Sky News. He already had a piece in last week’s Daily Telegraph re. Holmes a Court’s little protege, Allegra Da Big Spender and the fact that she’s using a carbon guzzling truck that’s parked down at Rose Bay promoting her candidacy. Like Zali, Allegra’s a hypocrite…but I guess to be Green you have to be a hypocrite.
Latham gets my vote every time.
Latham.
The Sex Panther of candidates.
I will be putting Greens (if they stand a candidate in my Electorate) last. Liberal, Labor, if the stand; Communist (one is standing) Top of the card to date is an Independent (seems to be a good one) and UAP second at this point.
I have already formed a vetting list with appropriate comments formed after researching each and every person standing, which will also be passed to my friends in same Electorate.
Razey, by not voting or voting informal you merely support the uniparty by your inaction. So from now on don’t comment on anything to do with Australian politics as you do not engage with it.
except that you deny any party your public (taxpayer) vote $.
Another forum I’m on has a bloke who’s a die hard Labor man. Admits the party isn’t what he supports, but isn’t interested in examining alternatives. One of the reasons I’m not a supporter of a universal franchise or mandatory voting.
Unfortunately I live in a safe Labor seat, both state and federal. They are everything that’s wrong with the system, having never done anything else.
Brits come to accommodation with Germany in 1938-39. No declaration of war when the Germans and Russians invade Poland. Neither wants the Poles on the other side when the main event starts.
US continues to sell military equipment to Britain -maybe, as Brits may want to protect themselves in event agreement falls apart. Brits arm themselves, become porcupine.
German pre emptive attack on Russia on schedule in 1941. Same strategic fuckups so war grinds on into 1942 but with no/minimal US aid to USSR.
No German declaration of war on the US in Dec 1941. Let us know how it goes, Sons of Nippon.
Americans have only Japan to fight so end war slightly early without nukes but overwhelming conventional forces. Horrendous casualties on both sides.
USSR/German war ends with USSR losing and Stalin removed. New USSR government sues for peace. German frontier now well east of Poland.
World now consists of overwhelmingly powerful US larger and more powerful Germany. Rest of world chooses sides. Australia and NZ ally with US as do Asian nations.
At this point Nazis may be content with being owners of all Europe with a neutered Russia offering no threat.
All good, Motherlode.
I like your comments, keep it up.
Thanks Cassie.
I just refreshed pollbludger.net & there he is.
They are not the only options.
Fat Cloive fucked up last time, basically pushing his own barrow, settling petty scores with old LNP enemies and putting his hand down Al Gore’s trousers.
So, it’s a long way back for Fat Cloive to redeem himself as far as I am concerned.
So if you’re fair dinkum you must vote for a minor, if you don’t you’re just as much a part of the problem as the uniparty. Informal votes are merely the modern washing of one’s hands, al la Pilate.
Short term yes, long term not so sure.
As long as the Uniparty still get the preferences they expect, they won’t be that worried that they’re not number one on your ballot paper. Textor said conservative voters don’t matter, and that’s what he meant.
Even if 10% of the population voted UAP/PHON/LDP, that wouldn’t worry the Photios Party greatly – they might miss out on a Senate seat or two, but as long as the HoR prefs rolled back to them they’d just take the 2PP and keep doing what they do.
Whereas if 10% of the population deliberately voted informal, gifting three years to Labor/Greens (yes I know) on a 50/40 [10 informal] 2PP and decimating the Coalition, the Coalition bugpeople might actually be forced to try to work out why that had happened.
I intend to vote at State level for the LDP preferencing the Photios Party ahead of Labor/Greens, because:
(a) getting rid of Maximum Leader is a moral obligation no matter how hopeless his replacement might be; and
(b) States don’t control immigration, so I don’t need to worry whether the LDP are actually open borders loons;
(c ) David Limbrick is about as impressive as any current politician in Australia.
Federally I was going to vote UAP, but Fat Clive’s drivel about the Catholic Church has made me have second thoughts. Not sure what I’ll do.
Malcolm Roberts is on the ball re. the possible use of LRAD at Saturdays protest. With regard to the cops, from his page: “We didn’t get an answer back straight away but the police will have to give me an answer on notice.”
Do you have voting rights in Japan?
is there a way to vote to ensure your preferences are exhausted before going to the uniparty?
That way – you could funnel your $ to your minor party of choice, but deny the uniparty any preference.
Dot, please don’t grind your teeth.
Tim is being a dick saying the LDP is open borders without including the part about not getting any taxpayer assistance.
What was that?
re: the LRAD accusations.
I refuse to believe they used the anti-personnel function unless I see video recording one in use.
I understand they are ~ 2.5kHz.. ie: like a smoke or intruder alarm.

Let’s accept the Nazis committed the most heinous acts, although the Soviets weren’t that far behind with the treatment of the landowning peasants. I wonder what the world would be like now with Germany controlling Europe (ex UK) and the US on the other side. It would eventually have come to blows I think.

It’s not about the court it’s being held in, KD. It’s about getting information out into the public view.
And while it may not be a ‘real’ court, as in the name the “Court of Public Opinion” I hope it works at getting exposure.

Or it’s a deliberate tactic, ordered from someone high up in the California Democrats to ‘get’ Elon Musk for all his public declarations of virulent wrongthink and more recent dissings of their diverse and equal utopia. After all, it’s their own policies that led to Union Pacific’s trains being robbed at signal stops in downtown LA. Not Elon.

Putin is a dick – a total dick.
This is funny though and so well deserved.
It would eventually have come to blows I think.
JC, I think both sides would have had nukes by 1950 or so. The US would probably retreat into isolationism having been a Pan Pacific power, not a world power. Monroe Doctrine would have been re-vamped – keep out of western hemisphere. Maybe some proxy wars in Africa but nothing there for either side.
Yes. And if they lost the election to Labor and Greens, they would believe that they need to swing further to the left.
Your strategy is horrendously dumb.
In order to pressure the Libs to swing to the right you need to vote for actual right wing parties. If the Libs won on 2PP but only had 30 per cent of the primary vote (with actual right wing parties carrying 25 per cent) then every one of their policies would shift massively to the right.
Even ScoMo would grow a backbone with those sorts of numbers.

Fact check: This is false. Five ukulele’s.
And yet reports of knifings, shootings, or even garden variety assaults in response to such gross provocation of the black workers at a time when BLM was burning down entire cities with no provocation? None.
Yeah, nah.

That will work well. Tesla production will move to Nevada, Texas, Germany and China.
SpaceX is moving Raptor rocket engine production to Texas, Musk lives in Austin and Boca Chica. Starships and boosters made in Texas and Florida. Once Starship is operational Falcon 9 will slowly get wound down only providing for customers who specifically want it. Bye bye the LA operation or a least a radical downsize to a design organisation.
Fair calls Eyrie.
Again, leaving aside the heinousness of the Nazi regime, I wonder if it would have been easier to deal with them than the Soviets.
The only thing they lack is an army to enforce their sentences.
Maybe some proxy wars in Africa but nothing there for either side.
Without the Russians stirring the anti-colonialisation pot the Brit Empire retains most of Africa along with Italy having some in North Africa. Maybe Algeria and Morocco go to Germany.
Dealing with them (Nazis) … in terms of an American perspective.
Just as they did to Antifa and BLM groups when they actually used those guns, ammunition, firebombs, etc.
Right?
Economically, continental Europe would have been a moribund shit-show and the closest likeness would have been Franco’s Spain in that nothing would be happening economically. The authoritarian structure of the regime would have prevented much in the way of economic progress, but it wouldn’t have have as bad as Soviet Russia.
Again, leaving aside the heinousness of the Nazi regime, I wonder if it would have been easier to deal with them than the Soviets.
Possibly. The Nazis were National Socialists not Transnational socialists. Without having been defeated and with a neutered rest of Europe they may not have been as paranoid as the Soviets.

The Ukraine has a history of being a very effective insurgent country. Russia may be just about to remember that history – if they do invade.

It was a rant about child abuse, demanding that the Catholic Church do something[TM] (not clearly specified), alleging that celibacy of priests was the problem and demanding that be abandoned… etc.. etc….
and not quite getting around to any clear statement about child abuse in any context other than Catholicism.
I think it was linked on here some time ago.

What was that leftist slogan from the 1960s/1970s? Oh, I remember.
“If you’ve got nothing, you’ve got nothing to lose.”
Unfair. It was Janis Joplin: freedom’s just another word etc:
Me and Bobby McGee,
The author is all very good, but the slogan was used by many lefties of the time.
A video recording would show nothing, there’s no visible or audio sign when the things are in use. What we have seen and heard are:
1. The equipment was on display at the demonstration, at Parliament House and police vehicles surrounding the demonstration.
2. The sounding of a siren before the LRAD was (supposedly) turned on.
3. Police officers wearing ear protection devices.
4. Demonstrators reporting headaches and nausea.
5. One police officer advising parents with a child that she would be “more comfortable” if they moved her to the rear of the demonstration.
Did the police actually turn the thing on? We really don’t know, perhaps someone should ask Karen Andrews, the minister responsible for the AFP, if she authorised its use.
If it was used then we need to know why.
Tim is being a dick saying the LDP is open borders without including the part about not getting any taxpayer assistance.
Actually I didn’t say they were open borders loons.
When I looked at their website some months ago immigration wasn’t mentioned – which is why I said that at State level I needn’t worry about it.
I’m not sure that the policy is entirely sound.
In a lot of third world countries the population is almost entirely genuinely poor, with a small uber-wealthy elite living behind security fences with armed guards, and little if any middle class living like most Australians. How’s a robber supposed to make a good living there? Better to come to somewhere like Australia, go to somewhere like Tarneit or Hoppers Crossing and do carjackings and home invasions on people who are affluent enough to be worth robbing but not rich enough to hire protection.

My GP is kind of a friend. He was telling me about his surgeon pal who specializes in bowel cancer. Because of the lockdowns and delays, he’s conducted a disturbing number of surgeries and the poor patient is too far gone to remove the tumor and they just sew them back up.

Despite his enormous business success, I’m not sure I want this man to be our next Treasurer.
I wonder is they can outrun the tumble weeds.
this is not true.
The LRAD’s do not work at some inaudible frequency.. they use (like I said) about 2.5-3kHz, just like a smoke alarm or intruder alarm designed to pain a burgler out of your house.
Like this- in use at the G20, 2009: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QSMyY3_dmrM&t=8s
