Never been able to understand why someone would pay through the nose for lamb cutlets. Local butcher had fillet steak for $70 kg recently. I look for marbled Sirloin, not many like it that way. Only eat steak occasionally, prefer slow cooked cuts, more flavours.

I’m particular about my steak, but since I do most of the shopping and cooking …

Take one rump medallion, the size of the palm of your hand and cut about 2.5 cm thick. Leave any external fat on until after cooking.

Oil steak lightly with quality oil (I use vegetable oil for higher smoke point than EVOO). Liberally dose with your favourite steak rub (dry).

Heat cast iron grill pan on high heat.

Salt steak and immediately place it on grill pan. Sear both sides, 2 minutes each.

Transfer to preheated 200°C air fryer for 3 minutes.

Rest steak for 5 mins loosely covered with foil. Cut off outer fat. Use any collected juices as a jus.

Enjoy.

(Drops stirring stick in pot and runs like hell!)

As a proud Wests (Balmain) Tigers man, I can only hope for the wooden spoon after 5, yes 5 captains are named.
In the modern game if one of your forwards is the real captain, I can understand co-captains because one of them is only on the field for half the game.
But 5 captains means you have no captains.

Bern, there is no Balmain club except in the history books.

Not even a NSW Cup side after they put all their eggs in the Labor basket, fatally assuming Labor would keep their word on the Rozelle Metro.

They also used Wests Tigers to push Balmain over Wests, exploiting their power advantage and trying to eliminate the Wests half of the JV by stealth.

And all unnecessary. Manly and St. George did the same, bit what does that tell you? It tells you that they entered joint ventures in bad faith, the difference being that karma hasn’t been visited on Manly and St. George yet.

But of course 5 captains is farcical. I could fix the club but I’d have to sack everyone.

The group, Fireproof Australia, has pledged to continue causing transport chaos if its demands are not met, and threatened to block roads every day from April.

I’ve long thought it’s only a matter of time before we have ecoterrorists.

This group doesn’t cross the threshold as they’re not employing the threat of violence but someone will (and a few already have in the past).

It’s an unfortunate fact that’s dawning on me that this is as big a fight as the battle against communism that started this time last century was. It’s going to take decades and entire political parties and rigid ideological movements and entire countries battling each other via proxy wars to end this. Because this is an ideological movement as vast in its dreams of reshaping society for this century, as communism was last century.

Worse even than that Twostix, since you are wrong about it being an ideological movement.

It’s actually a millenarian religion, and therefore it will just keep going. They think they have to do all this to save the world, even though it doesn’t need to be saved. Very hard to counter since no amount of data will overcome their belief. All you can do is deprogram the cult members one by one.

Hey. Anybody still interested in block-chain mumbo-jumbo since Justin showed how easy the whole Crypto shebang can be closed down? Also wondering if any New Cat who got in on the Bitcoin action at $A90,000 in November last year is hanging on at $A50,000 today….

You speak like someone who believes in the old system..

My lessons from Canada are different

1) Banks can shut down your accounts and ability to transact
2) BTC, being decentralised, CANNOT be interdicted by government.
3) Short term fluctuations in crypto prices are normal, and indeed it is that variability that is the price you pay for performance. Movements of 30% in a day and 80% in a month are normal in crypto – if you cant stomach that, its not for you.

I started buying crypto in 2015, after seeing the predatory nature of governments, even our cuddly ones. BTC was under $1000 at the time, now it is many times that.

I have not sold any, and now use it to fund my life, now my career has been extinguished by the government.

Communism & Nazism (1000 Year Reich) also had millenarian roots.

It’s not an either/or; political ideologies can have religious overtones.

Consider Hindu nationalism and Japan pre-1945.

It’s the secularism of Western liberalism which is, in fact, the exception to this phenomenon, although it was more an aspiration than a reality.

Moreover, the thing about this morning’s innocent error is that the actions described where simply the actions of the Portuguese police rather than the Canadian. This is now routinely occurring in our police forces. That is what should be exciting our attention.

Indeed. The police services must return to the Peel Principles, then work very hard for many years to regain the public trust, which they have destroyed in so cavalier a fashion.

Yes Roger but this is different. They truly believe that the world will be destroyed very soon unless they bring in their kooky policies. The Nazis just wanted to conquer. These people have incentive to be worse than Nazis because they think the stakes are the highest possible. That’s all rubbish but doesn’t stop them believing it.

Now add that IT advances and computerization of the financial system allow a level of control that Stalin would never have even dreamed of. Canada is the experiment: if they can make it stick there they’ll do so elsewhere.

On the other hand their policies are so unworkable and stupid that any country putting them in place is going to make like Venezuela very rapidly.

BTC can generate income by loaning it on various platforms, or borrowed against, and other assets can be bonded to their networks (aka ‘staked’) and pay an income stream.

One captain. One vice captain. That’s all that’s needed in the ‘leadership group’.

Often it doesn’t matter who they appoint officially.

At Geelong in their golden run about 15-10 years ago, Matthew Scarlett refused to be in the leadership group (except when, because of injuries to other players, he had to captain the team to victory in the 2006 NAB Cup Final, the team’s first senior team success in 43 years). But the CEO Brian Cook said that it didn’t matter what he, the President, the Board, the coaching staff or the team leadership group thought, there were four words that could kill any idea at the club – “Scarlo doesn’t like it”.
Luckily Scarlo was ok with Bomber Thomson (and then Chris Scott) as coach and Tom Harley (and then Cameron Ling) as captain, and got on well with Cook and with Frank Costa, so it all worked out.

Goon squads formerly known as police forces

Just been reading this collection of blog posts on the Canadian stuff. In it is one from a (now) former Canadian police officer.

To Serve and Protect – Bitter Centurion (20 Feb)

In one fucking weekend, these psychotic knuckle dragging ‘shaved apes’ in Ottawa managed to do more irreparable harm to the image and institution of policing than the media, the politicians, BLM/ANTIFA, and all of George Soros’s money could in several years.

Then, these fucking prima-donnas in the fucking musical ride, of all places, casually laugh about it and brag about how “these protestors are gonna hear our jackboots come down” and make fun of Ms. Paulsen getting trampled by a horse….God damn each and every one of you.

It was all for nothing.

All the good work that I, and the good, honest, decent people I KNOW are out there wearing a police uniform, have put an honest effort into doing was for absolutely nothing. Speaking for myself, a lot of the work I did, in the course of my duties, was repair already damaged public/police relations. It was something I enjoyed doing and I did a fairly decent job at it.

But….all it took was this fucking trash to come along and piss and shit all over that work. And of course they did, and of course they could….because, quite obviously, that’s not the reason they put the uniform on in the first place. Clearly, they not only don’t care about the public, but believe it is their privilege to terrorize and abuse them at their whim and get paid ‘double bubble’ for it to boot.

One of these nutjobs talked about ‘living the dream’. Right….beating the everloving fuck out of people YOU SWORE AN OATH TO SERVE AND PROTECT is ‘living the dream’. Funny, because taking down monsters like that and protecting innocent, defenseless people was always my dream. But this is Trudeau’s Canada now, isn’t it? Up is down, black is white.

Who Promotes or Profits from CSE?
Click here for an extended list of CSE supporters >
[all links here just for this page, it’s a massive site]
https://www.comprehensivesexualityeducation.org/what-is-cse/

Comprehensive sexuality education is promoted by powerful and respected organizations such as the U.S. Centers for Disease Control (CDC), International Planned Parenthood Federation (IPPF), the Sexuality Information and Education Council of the United States (SIECUS), and UN agencies such as the World Health Organization (WHO), UNAIDS, UNESCO, UNICEF, and UNFPA. Even the World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts (WAGGGS) promotes CSE. (See our Facebook Page 100QuestionsfortheGirlScouts.org.)

In addition, CSE is heavily promoted at the UN and at national and state legislatures by paid lobbyists of multi-million dollar organizations and businesses (the most prominent being International Planned Parenthood) that profit from services they provide to young people and adults who are sexually active. In fact, it is not unusual for these lobbyists to become members of official UN delegations without the governments understanding the deceptive sexual CSE agenda the lobbyists are intending to promote.

Lucrative “sexual and reproductive health care services” can include sexual counseling, family planning, contraception, condoms, abortion, testing and treatment for STIs, and HIV/AIDS prevention and treatment, as well as related commodities, pharmaceuticals, vaccines, etc. The early sexualization of children through CSE can create lifelong paying customers for these services, so this is big business.

This is just a blog comment by an anonymous contributor whose qualifications are obviously unknown but who does seem (at least to my unscientific self) to know what he’s talking about, at least medically. His take on the motivation I’m not so sure about. Someone with knowledge in the field my like to comment.

This is an excerpt –

So here’s a side by side comparison of the most important features of what a virus does and what their products do:

A. Where it goes:
1. A virus gets into living cells,
2. Their products get into living cells

B. What it does:
1. A virus unpacks its genetic material and makes a LOT of viral mRNA copies of all the viral genes
2. Their products unpack the genetic material they contain, either many viral mRNA copies of one viral gene or many little circular RNA vectors containing the viral RNA for one viral gene from which is made many viral mRNA copies of that one viral gene.

C. What happens next:
1. The virus’s viral mRNA interrupts the cell’s normal protein production
2. Their products’ viral mRNA interrupts the cell’s normal protein production,

D. For what purpose?
1. The viral mRNA uses the machinery and the cell’s amino acids and energy resources to make a LOT of new protein copies of all the different viral genes.
2. Their products’ viral mRNA uses the machinery and the cell’s amino acids and energy resources to make a LOT of new protein copies of just the one viral gene for a viral spike protein.

E. What happens next:
1. All the many new protein copies of the viral mRNA copies of the viral genes use the cell to reassemble themselves into many brand new viruses.
2. All the many new protein copies of the products’ mRNA copies of just one viral gene just keep building up as long as there are copies of viral mRNA to translate and enough amino acids to use.

F. The next step in the cycle:
1. The growing number of new viruses exit the cell either by exocytosis or by killing it from their sheer volume and then go drifting off to do it again.
2. Their products’ growing numbers of copies of just that single protein exit the cell by killing it from their sheer number and then go drifting off.

G. Until THIS innate immune system event happens:
1. The virus’s viral mRNA and viral protein are detected in the compromised cell by the innate immune system (2).
2. Their products’ viral mRNA and viral protein are detected in the compromised cell by the innate immune system.

H. And then:
1. The cells packed with viruses and viral mRNA and viral protein are attacked and destroyed by the different components of the innate immune system
2. The cells packed with their products’ viral mRNA and many, MANY copies of just that one viral protein are attacked and destroyed by the different components of the innate immune system.

I. So what does it all mean?
It means that those products function as artificial viruses to sneak viral RNA into cells to produce viral protein (though the AstraZeneca version uses an actual replication-disabled chimp adenovirus to do it) and, while they can’t make new versions of themselves from many copies of the one single viral protein, the results are still treated by the innate immune system at least in the same as an actual viral invasion.

J. Only worse because
1. Respiratory viruses are tissue-specific for the respiratory system.
2. Their products are NOT tissue-specific, do not stay at the site of injection on the arm, but have been found to be disseminated through up to 3/4 of the rest of the body.

K. How much worse?
1. Respiratory viruses and the cells they are in are attacked by tissue-specific elements of the innate immune system in the respiratory system.
2. The many different types of cells their products indiscriminately have invaded with viral mRNA and have gotten packed with viral protein are attacked simultaneously by elements of the innate immune system specific to all those different systems.

L. How the innate immune system responds:
1. Upon detecting respiratory viruses in cells: “Oh, part of the respiratory system is under attack! Mobilize the appropriate level of immune response in that region.”
2. Upon detecting in cells of numerous systems the presence of their products’ viral mRNA, viral protein, and disruption of normal cell processes: “Oh, shit, we are under simultaneous attack in many different systems by some unknown viral agent that is already inside the cells and replicating. Throw all available resources at it everywhere and kill it before it can kill our host.”

J. The outcome:
1. Respiratory viruses: outcomes range in severity based on the type of virus, the initial load of the virus, and the health and immune state of the victim; immunological outcome: sequestration by innate immune cells of viral protein debris and, in the case of Covid-19 Mark I, robust, long lasting adaptive immune response to a diverse range of viral protein antigens and adaptive immune system resistance to any other viruses sharing highly conserved genes, the degree of resistance proportional both to the number of conserved genes and to the degree to which their divergence does not disrupt shared identical epitopes for antibody recognition and binding on the proteins those genes code for.

2. mRNA vaccine products:
a. ranges in severity based on the number of systems affected, the number of cells in each system compromised by the products’ mechanism of action, the initially limited sequestration of naked viral spike proteins and all the consequences entailed by that (probably thrombosis), and the level of damage caused by inflammatory response, which, upon examination, in the absence of clear indications of pathogen involvement, if spotted at all, will be taken to be an auto-immune attack or “antibody enhanced immune response.”
b. immunological outcome: limited, short-duration adaptive immune response to a single viral protein antigen and little to no adaptive immune response to any variant with mutations of that spike protein, depending on the extent of mutations and the degree of alteration of all possible prior epitopes on that single antigen.

K. Real world outcome:
1. Viruses: disease states that have been fairly well characterized for known pathogens.
2. mRNA vaccines: disease states much less easy to characterize because:
a. They haven’t been around very long,
b. They can affect multiple systems to varying degrees, depending on the characteristics of the delivery vehicle, extent of exposure, frequency of exposure, gender, developmental age, number and extent of preexisting disease states, prescription and OTC drug interactions, immune state, and unique genetic background both individual and racial, etc.
c. There may be no identifiable pathogen-based active disease state or other information to draw attention to the actual source of the cause of death.

For example:

A group of 15 patients autopsied at the request of family following official pronouncement of cause of death and no official mention made of vaccination status, showed, on more detailed examination at the tissue and cellular level, unmistakable signs of inflammatory attack, all 15 on the heart, 14 on the lungs, and a few showed signs of inflammatory attack on other organs in addition to the heart and lungs.
The type and extent of the damage was enough to kill them but the signs were not visible in gross inspection of organs in any initial autopsies performed (3).

Normally this kind of damage would be labeled auto-immune damage because of no signs of infection by pathogens.

But all the deceased had been vaccinated with mRNA products, the principal mechanism of which mimics viral infection and which recruits the same attack response of the innate immune system as infection by viruses.

Regarding the comments about the price of beef steaks and other comments about music lyrics….

The reason beef is so expensive is because the cows are now armed. This was laid out several years ago by Dana Lyons in the song: Cows with Guns.

Edited lyrics……

He was a scrawny calf, who looked rather woozy
No one suspected he was packing an Uzi
Cows with guns

They came with a needle to stick in his thigh
He kicked for the groin, he pissed in their eye
Cow well hung

Knocked over a tractor and ran for the door
Six gallons of gas flowed out on the floor
Run cows run!

He picked up a bullhorn and jumped up on the hay
We are free roving bovines, we run free today

The President said “Enough is Enough!
These uppity cattle, its time to get tough”
Cow dung flung

The newspapers gloated, folks sighed with relief
Tomorrow at noon, they would all be ground beef
Cows on buns

The cows were surrounded, they waited and prayed
They mooed their last moos
They chewed their last hay
Cows out gunned

The order was given, turn cows to whoppers
Enforced by the might of ten thousand coppers
But on the horizon, surrounding the shoppers
Came the deafening roar, of chickens, in choppers!

We will fight for bovine freedom
And hold our large heads high
We will run free with the Buffalo, or die
Cows with guns

San Francisco hotel sinks Sir Francis Drake over links to the slave trade
Keiran Southern, Los Angeles

Save

To the English, he was a hero fêted for his exploits on the high seas in the 16th century. The Spanish knew him as “the Dragon”, a hated privateer with a massive bounty on his head after he helped defeat their famed armada in 1588.

And it seems, after years of celebrating Sir Francis Drake for his arrival in what is now northern California, the region has sided with the explorer’s detractors, deciding his role in the slave trade means he is no longer a suitable figure to adorn its streets and buildings.

In the latest example of California erasing the most renowned seaman of the Elizabethan era from the public space, Drake’s name has been removed from one of San Francisco’s best-known hotels following a re-evaluation of his legacy in the wake of George Floyd’s death and the rise of the Black Lives Matter movement.

The hotel in Union Square, built in 1928, will now have the far less evocative title of the Beacon Grand.

A rebranding process has been under way since the hotel, which has been closed since the pandemic began, was bought last year by the Northview Hotel Group for $157 million.

Tom Sweeney was a fixture of the hotel’s doors for 43 years, welcoming celebrity guests and waving to passersby while dressed as a beefeater.

Sweeney, 64, said: “Everybody knew the Sir Francis Drake, it was world-known. It’s going to be a sad day in San Francisco for sure — I think people will be pretty shocked to see a new name.”

While Drake remains a totemic figure in English history, his role in the slave trade has attracted increasing criticism. According to Plymouth University, Drake and his cousin, Sir John Hawkins, enslaved between 1,200 and 1,400 Africans over three voyages between 1562 and 1567.

He had been celebrated in California for landing there in 1579. In 2012, the US government sought to put an end to a debate over the spot where Drake had come ashore, saying that he landed at Point Reyes, northwest of San Francisco.

That led to his name adorning many local sites, but his presence is fading. Officials in San Anselmo, north of San Francisco, last year renamed Sir Francis Drake High School. It now honours Archie Williams, a black Olympic gold medallist and Second World War veteran.

Drake is not the only historical figure to fall foul of contemporary sensibilities in the city. In June 2020, a statue of Christopher Columbus was removed following complaints that he oppressed the native people of the Americas.

Exactly two years ago there were multiple Chinese aircraft unloading and reloading at Perth domestic airport between midnight and 4am. It lasted a week or so. Note, domestic. Workers were Chinese and remained airside.
This information appeared in a scattered way online for approx. six hours from dawn the next day, then vanished.
I trust the source, through family. No images, no corroboration. Yet. A data point.

Milton – Indeed. My wife and I are just another two but it was made 100% crystal clear to us both in our respective employment that no jab = no job. Like many we had savings and readily saleable assets to hold out for several months, but then what? The government were never going to reverse their position on mandating jabs so ‘when’ would this madness eventually cease? Another year? Two? Short of winning the lotto, we couldn’t financially hold out that long.

I will also say I am sorry for those Australian citizens who were prohibited from going interstate or overseas to see their elderly parents/family in the final weeks before they died. There were a great many tragedies where our citizens were unable to attend even the funeral. It was a despicably cruel government instruction carried out ruthlessly by faceless bureaucrats. (of course, if you had plenty of money or were ‘a name’, you could come and go at will).

I hope everyone remembers what our governments have done to us in the past two years as we approach the ballot box.

They are constantly peddling through the State Department and other measures their globohomo agenda in states that don’t want a bar of it.

It wasn’t just interstate. My cousin died during the last lockdown. His funeral had only his sister, her husband and children attending. The funeral was just down the M1, an hour and a half away.

He was an ex-serviceman, a wonderful man. Navy. Emphysema, no doubt from lagging in the ships.

And who will be your second preference? I, and probably others will give 1 and 2 (and 3 if relevant) to one of UAP, LDP and PHON. If there is a Commo running in our electorate, I would probably put them ahead of the UNiParty and the Slime, if only because they are at least honest about their intentions. In the Senate, those three parties at the top, innocuous minor parties next, and end with the lowest one on the ballot of the UNiParty where I stop filling in boxes, simply to prevent a “creative” ballot counter with a pencil adding an extra number.

What’s our policy on funding land rights for gay whales?

We don’t have one because we’re not interested in such tomfoolery.

That’s what laissez faire means.

Pay your own way and minimal intervention.

The 10 point freedom manifesto for the 2022 Federal Election is here:

https://www.ldp.org.au/freedom

Relax occupational licensing and certification. Overzealous licensing requirements stifle the entrepreneurial spirit and impose costs on small businesses. Auctioneers, bar staff, casino workers, hairdressers etc. should not require licensing to operate.

Cut green tape. Environmental regulations are out of control and look set to worsen with insane “net-zero emissions” targets. These regulations not only directly harm those in the resources and energy sectors, they also drive up electricity costs for all small businesses. The Renewable Energy Target should be abolished, and all associated regulations scrapped.

Constrain the excess of government agencies. Agencies like the ATO and ASIC have become bloated, unaccountable and a major threat to small businesses. We believe their powers should be strictly limited.

Make it easier to start a business. Start-up firms must be allowed to issue shares in lieu of income if agreed to by both parties. Allow family micro-businesses the leeway to opt-out of most regulations until they’ve had the opportunity to establish themselves in the marketplace. This should be associated with clear signage so that consumers can make an informed decision.

None of that amounts to banning anything.
