After having the last two years of our lives destroyed by unrepentant hitlerists, you take the victories where you can, Cats.

So feel free to tune in 7:00pm tomorrow evening, for the next Radio Show.

Sancho, at the very end of the OOT:

On the credibility of St Ruth’s guided tours of Melbourne …
The giveaway was “Lygon St”.
A private joke in Melbourne.

Yeah, it’s a cracker isn’t it. Apparently been to so many places for so long and did so much work in all of them he’d have needed a Tardis.

I particularly like the way he could spell ‘Lygon’ but not ‘Moonee Ponds’. Almost as if he Googled it, but very poorly.

I’m spending tomorrow (today) on a sailboat. When I come back I’m going to be an expert on regional Queensland, having lived there before and travelled through it occasionally.

Of course, I would know that area better than the people who’ve lived there all their lives (or South Australians). I’m going to have lived in Gimpy, or Longreech or Cloncurrie.

Peoples – there is way too much abuse being dished out on this blogue.

At the risk of sounding like a f*cking hippee, enough, please, Cats.

Someone above made the observation that this blogue will never be as “productive” and/or “useful” as the Perfesser’s, because all we ever do is abuse each other (incessantly).

These open threads are akin to blundering through mud. Suggesting solutions would be nice, if we believed in the cause – but it seems we don’t. 😕

Rabz,

I will use some lines from Roadhouse here. I am nice. I am nice to everyone.

Until it is time to not be nice. And that time is when I am called a coward for refusing to follow the Prophet of Faulty’s exact messaging on how to stand and fight and fall. And when he holds individuals responsible for the actions of governments, of which they are not part.

When people exercising their own freedom of choice, often compelled to take a course of action through dire personal circumstance are wished to develop blood clots and die, and referred to as cocksuckers.

And every time he walks it back with ‘oh I was joshing’ as he did when his commentary on women failed to get the traction he wanted, I will put him high in the rigging.

And he lies, and says that he lies to get ‘shock value’.

Abuse is all he’s here for. To abuse people. And at the first hint of reciprocation he wordwalls everyone to death, trying to explain why he didn’t say what he actually did say several times over.

He’s a gigantic sook, and I don’t take well to demands from sooks as to how I should commemorate Anzac Day. The great frilly fake girl’s blouse.

Australian cricketing great Shane Warne has died in Thailand, aged just 52.

The shock news has been confirmed by the Warne family, who have released a statement, saying Warne died of a suspected heart attack.

“It is with great sadness we advise that Shane Keith Warne passed away of a suspected heart attack in Koh Samui, Thailand today, Friday 4th March.

“Shane was found unresponsive in his Villa and despite the best efforts of medical staff, he could not be revived.”

I had my honeymoon in Koh Samui. If Warne had bothered to ring me I could have told him the joint was cursed.

Because he was a celebrity, there there will be intense scrutiny of Shane Warne’s death and health Even though he was a smoker, my first thought is about the experimental flu jab he was forced to take to be allowed to travel internationally.

Oh come on
Oh come on
March 5, 2022 3:40 am

To government health authorities:

What was Shane Warne’s vaxx status, when was he last vaxxed, what was he vaxxed with.

And don’t get your ridiculous media poodles to to trot out their ‘his body isn’t even cold’ huff and puff. Let’s cut to the chase:

Is your mass vaxx program killing way more people with its experimental gene therapies than you currently admit?

Because it sure as hell looks like it is, so you can fuck right off with your phoney moral indignation about using Warney’s death for an agenda blah blah blah. He died young and from a medical event that is widely linked – rightly or wrongly – to the vaxx.

So if you want me to put that shit in my body – and the bodies of my children – then answer the damn question. And bear in mind that if you respond in the negative, the onus is on you to prove to me that your vaxx is safe. I should add that your burden of proof is extremely high, and you will have to overcome a deep skepticism I hold of anything you claim.

Unfair? Not really. You have been lying to me for the last two years about anything Covid-related, and you’re still lying. So answer the damn question – honestly – or get the fuck out of my face.

Hungarian PM says countries can’t count on NATO to protect them
Viktor Orban gave an interview on relations with the EU and sanctions against Russia

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban said on Friday morning that he felt he couldn’t count on the Western bloc when it comes to real action concerning the country’s security.

“NATO will protect us when we are ready to defend ourselves. Anyone who thinks NATO will protect us is wrong,” he said in an interview for Kossuth state radio.

Orban praised the fact that Hungary had managed to reorganize its army since 2010 and was strong enough to protect itself and its allies. Still, he believes the country should stay away from war, as it was not “Hungary’s job to sort out world politics.” The president added that the safety of Hungarian citizens was his top priority in this conflict.

Orban also warned that Western sanctions against Russia pose an “immediate danger” to the economy, noting that they have already had an impact in Hungary, where energy prices escalated rapidly, prompting further inflation.

“Sanctions have a price as it is a double-edged weapon, and we will pay this price in the short term,” he said in the interview, adding that it was “only the beginning of the crisis.”

Orban also commented on Ukrainian refugees arriving in Hungary. While about 70% to 80% of the 140,000 displaced citizens are going to other countries, he said Hungary wants to offer jobs to those who stay, and the prime minister has already initiated talks with employers. He added that the country is ready to accommodate refugees for three months, but warned that they will then have to integrate themselves into Hungarian society. He also stressed the importance of healthcare, as the coronavirus pandemic remains an issue.

According to the UN, more than one million people have fled Ukraine since Moscow began its offensive last Thursday, heading to Poland, Russia, Hungary, Moldova, Romania, Slovakia and other countries in order to find safety.

In the wake of Russia’s invasion, the European Union and other countries have placed a number of severe sanctions on Moscow, including barring several of the country’s banks from the global payment system, SWIFT, and closing airspace to Russian aircraft. Prominent international brands such as Apple, IKEA, H&M and Airbnb have also suspended their operations in Russia over the Ukrainian conflict.

“So, there’s 14 child killing Catholics sitting in the US Senate who Bishops have barely uttered a word about, with the one exception being Durban from Illinois who Bishop Thomas Paprocki of Springfield Illinois told to stay away from Holy Communion.
These Senators should all be made a massive example and excommunicated, they aren’t Catholic in any meaningful or even remotely meaningful way and yet they’re allowed to present themselves as Catholic and allowed by the Bishops,”

Jo Nova has a piece on Russia-linked groups lobbing money at western activists to keep the green anti-fracking, anti-coal, pro renewables thing going while they set Russia up to be an energy money machine.
For the same reason I’d say Putin would make sure and lob a few shells at the nuclear power plants in Ukraine – not to damage them but to reignite the hysteria that has kept the west shy of nuclear power stations for decades while they carry on regardless.

Hungarian PM says countries can’t count on NATO to protect them

Putin crossed Biden’s red line in the snow early on when he launched an attack on Kiev from Belarus.

Faced with the unthinkable, Biden doubled down on sanctions, which are a two-edged sword as the analyst notes.

Orban, sensibly, has drawn the obvious but disquieting conclusion – the US (& NATO) cannot be counted on to defend even member states on the periphery of W. Europe if the risk is deemed too great.

Australia, once again eager to carry water for the US in a war on the other side of the world, should take note of Orban’s words.

Sad that Warnie and Marsh have gone. Sad also that Australian science has gone too.

CSIRO LGBTQI+ staff to march in Mardi Gras Parade as gender affirmation leave is unveiled in diversity and inclusion strategies (Sky News, 4 Mar)

CSIRO LGBTQI+ staff and allies will march in the parade under the theme of “Power to Shine”.

Mr Gerbing added that the new diversity and inclusion strategies would help to improve the innovation and scientific research being completed at the CSIRO.

“Innovation happens when you bring together people with different views and experiences,” he said.

“We know that diversity of thought is crucial to doing impactful science and I’m looking forward to being in the parade and representing CSIRO and our incredible people.”

That last line is especially galling since they lockstep believe in CAGW and woke, and woe unto you if you don’t follow the herd. “Diversity of thought” a la Pyongyang.

What does that even mean?

Do they mean an “open mind”? How open? One that dispenses with scientific method because old and busted?

What is “impactful science”? Is it discovery? Or is it something that makes a difference? Or is it the manipulation of others to accept a predetermined outcome?

How does that fit in with how the scientist wishes to express their sexuality?

No one seems to want to attend these things as private citizens any more. They all have to have an angle and an axe to grind. It was once about acceptance, now about an agenda.

The missus and I went to a restaurant in Wodonga last night. Back in my more financially secure days we used to regularly dine at Le Restaurant in Collins St and a few other top quality Melbourne restaurants, sadly those days will not return. Anyway this place advertises itself as ‘fine dining’. upon entering we’re met by a large butch women with sleeve tatts. She tells us we must scan in, I pointed out that there’s no requirement and that the state gov itself has admitted that they stopped any monitoring of QR codes months ago. Still she insisted so we did a paper sign in.

The room itself was ok but full of hard surfaces and noisy modern music, no table cloths and the tables way too close together. Service was good and the food ok, the wine list also good. Trouble was that it was nothing like fine dining, just expensive restaurant prices for bistro food. Plus the kitchen was open to and part of the dining area, may as well gone to the local Chinese, would’ve got better food at a fraction of the price.

Is there anywhere in Australia that offers top level fine dining nowadays?

Funny how he knows underneath.

I said you have up to four years.
I didn’t say you had the whole four years.

See how reality is coming back to bite those that submitted and then went into complete denialism.

And the whole theory about me not living in Victoria or touring it gets based on the way I spell moonee ponds after 30 years pass from living there, combined with my general lack of caring about editing every post lest I make a slight spelling blue.
It’s called clutching at straws.
I know more about Victoria than most of the parochial ignorant dickheads on this blog.
Just a fact.
I have been a Victorian.
I also lived in Mildura twice, so country Victoria as well.

My life on the roads or Australia has had me in and out and living in Victoria most of my life.

But, but, but,…you you you spelled Moonee Ponds wrong!
Straw clutching.

But let’s get back to important issues.

Warnie…or Warnee…..I’ve known about him for a long time too, is now dead.
You didn’t want that news this morning Mr Cricket head KD.
That’s why your first comment about it was the above.
It’s fucking OBVIOUS to all not in denial what has happened and trying to excuse it as not the death vax puts you in the loony camp of denialists who have congregated on this blog for mutual fantasy building and self justification speeches that will not be scrutinised and criticised.

As I said last night, there is a lot of mental issues now on this blog.
Again we see Notafan trying desperately to twist the truth and justify her actions, and dismiss things like Warnie’s death….
You don’t know how sad you have become.
And the worst thing, and the reason I’ve turned up again, like Notafan you were told.
But in your mental decline, you’ve decided those who brought you truth and a way to save yourselves and your country were the enemy, you went down the wrong road.
Are you going to spend your last days deluding yourselves or are you going to get revenge, seek justice?
Do something?
Or will you obituary read……
Here lies Notafan
She fell in the coup of 2020

“Putin crossed Biden’s red line in the snow early on when he launched an attack on Kiev from Belarus.

Faced with the unthinkable, Biden doubled down on sanctions, which are a two-edged sword as the analyst notes.

Orban, sensibly, has drawn the obvious but disquieting conclusion – the US (& NATO) cannot be counted on to defend even member states on the periphery of W. Europe if the risk is deemed too great.

Australia, once again eager to carry water for the US in a war on the other side of the world, should take note of Orban’s words.”

Orban, who knows his backyard very well and who knows Putin very well, also understands that the current US administration, EU and NATO are no no friends of Hungary and his government. In fact they’re no friends of any country in Eastern Europe trying to protect their way of life. Hungary, under Orban, has banned Soros and his sinister NGO’s. The US is currently backing Orban’s opponents at the forthcoming election, one party the US has backed is an unashamed anti-Semitic party yet it’s Orban who’s smeared in the western MSM as the anti-Semite. You couldn’t make this shit up.

I don’t think we understand the depths to which Ukraine since 2014, under Zelensky (who’s just a puppet), has been infiltrated by the US state department and Soros’ NGO’s. It’s been used as a cash cow by the likes of the Biden and Clinton families (and others) and Soros’ NGO’s have been in the country trying to push through LGBTQIARSE stuff, Islamic immigration and so on.

It was good to see Bernardi on Sky last night try to give some balance to the unbalanced and unhinged reporting by our MSM.

It was a Paige McGeary company and that meant it owned AAT Kings.
That’s where I did a lot of Unimog touring as well.
But as the government did all it could to destroy the tourism industry, because it promoted Australia as they did not want it promoted, it got to hard for them and they sold off and went to boat cruising in Europe.
Bus tours on water.

Oh well.

“Tudge accuser’s love texts revealed

But of course, and such bitterness and nastiness was written over the scold’s face from the first time I saw her on television. Most women could see that, it was very obvious that she was out for revenge. Miller allowed herself to be used by the always ghastly Nilligan and their ABC in its never ending war against the Coalition….an ABC, mind you, that the Coalition never fails to throw money at so it can continue to wage a never ending war against conservatives…..but what admonishment will this plain scold face?

Peter Campion got this in the Cairns post.
36 ooo circulation.

The Editor

The People’s News

If you’re like me, you’re thoroughly sick of incompetent and distant bureaucrats trying to micromanage every aspect of your life – including your health. If you’re aware of the lock-stepped, one-size-fits-all approach to the so-called “novel coronavirus” by all Western governments, you’ll also be aware that it tips centuries of best medical practice on its head.

It’s not up to the federal government in far-off Canberra to promote one course of medical action only, in this case ill-advised mass injections with leaky vaccines in the middle of a disease outbreak, by using the Australian Health Practitioners Regulation Agency to silence all sceptical and/or dissenting doctors with threats of prosecution and deregistration.

It’s not up to the government to use the Therapeutic Goods Administration to ban your GP from prescribing well-known and effective therapeutics off-label to cure your Covid-19, such as those outlined by Australian disease expert Professor Thomas Borody with his “Covid triple therapy”.

You and your GP know your health status better than anyone else and are best placed to make day-to-day decisions on your best health care – how dare governments usurp that traditional arrangement?

How dare governments spend tax money taken from us by force of law to trigger a population-wide fear campaign, or “mass formation psychosis”, via “media flooding”, as they call it, to generate widespread belief that Covid-19 is way more dangerous than it ever actually was?

Many of us have known for over two years that Covid-19 was circulating in Wuhan from October 2019 during the World Military Games. We had direct flights to Australia for five months after that. Anyone who had the flu in that time likely had the “highly infectious and very deadly” Covid-19 – but it was no big deal because the artificial fear campaign hadn’t been ramped up yet.

Even Federal Health Minister and former Director of Global Strategy for the World Economic Forum, Greg Hunt, noted in a press release on 25/01/2020 that the first community case of Covid-19 had been officially found in Victoria – a Wuhan man who’d flown from Guandong on 19/01/2020. ScoMo belatedly closed the border to China on 20/03/2020.

For two years now we’ve been bombarded with information from governments that is doubtful at best and incredibly damaging at worst. Regardless of the government propaganda, Covid-19 presented no greater threat than many flus before it and it claims the same demographic, the elderly with co-morbidities, as every other flu always has.

As Professor Borody had established by August 2020, Covid-19 is particularly treatable and with early intervention with his ivermectin, azithromycin and zinc therapy there was no need for lockdowns, social isolation, job losses, business destruction, masking, experimental-vaccine “mandates”, and all the social division that followed.

There was no need whatsoever for our state and federal governments to be implementing elements of the Rockefeller Foundation’s 2010 “Scenarios for the Future of Technology and Development”, specifically parts of the chapters titled “Lock Step” (about a pandemic), “Hack Attack” (about government debt) and “Smart Scramble” (about societal collapse). Yet here we are with a vestigial Chinese Communist-style social credit score system called a “vaccine pass” or a “green tick”.

Our established political parties have been solidly behind this insane, anti-Australian attack on our economy and our societal cohesion. They have even wilfully disregarded our national Constitution, which is written in plain English, in matters relating to state border closures and forced medical procedures, such as vaccinations and masks. Our Constitution was never intended to be “interpreted” solely by highly paid lawyers – it’s the Australian peoples’ contract with the Australian government.

Section 117 states,

“A subject of the Queen, resident in any State, shall not be subject in any other State to any disability or discrimination which would not be equally applicable to him if he were a subject of the Queen resident in such other State.”

And yet we were discriminated against based on our state of residence.

Section 51(xxiiiA) states,

“The Parliament shall, subject to this Constitution, have power to make laws for the peace, order, and good government of the Commonwealth with respect to:

(xxiiiA) the provision of maternity allowances, widows’ pensions, child endowment, unemployment, pharmaceutical, sickness and hospital benefits, medical and dental services (but not so as to authorize any form of civil conscription), benefits to students and family allowances;”

And yet many of us experienced “civil conscription” into “medical services”, such as “mandatory” experimental gene-therapy vaccines, and surgical splash-masks that never have stopped viral transmission.

If our established political parties won’t abide by their contract with the Australian people, we can never trust them with government again. We need to give them our last preferences on our ballots in May.

My name is Peter Campion, I’m a retired fireman, a father of five, a grandfather of four, an Australian patriot, and I’m the United Australia Party’s candidate in Kennedy.

There’s a restaurant on the Far South Coast that has a fine dining experience without the snootiness. It’s run by a husband and wife team, he was a chef at one of the top hotels in Sydney and they decided on a tree-change and bought an old bank and turned it into a white linen restaurant with a fixed three course menu that changes weekly. She is the maitre’d and is friendly without being too familiar. They use the bank vault as the wine cellar, which is a nice touch.

Fiamengo said something last night that really hit home and then I wake up this morning and I read the headline that Miller has been exposed for her vindictive lies against Alan Tudge, lies a sordid MSM gave hysterical prominence to, but what censure will Miller incur?

Fine Dining, to me anyway is one of the most pleasurable things you can do. I’ve never had a snotty waiter, the best waiters are invisible until they are there just when you want them. The food, it’s food that is beyond the skills and resources of most chefs, much less ordinary people, and it has to be French. How a master chef can make a relatively small serving so intensely flavoured and rich and at the same time satisfy your appetite is one of the wonders of the world. I love BBQ and most food but some geniuses can take food to a level that can’t be believed until you eat it. Combine that with a beautiful room, subtle but perfect lighting, quite enough to talk to each other but spacious enough that the next table can’t hear your conversation and staff that anticipate your needs perfectly. It’s difficult and very expensive but it can be done.

In Australia we have excessively large meals, done quick with second rate ingredients and crappy décor, and you’re served and surrounded by bogans.

They all have to have an angle and an axe to grind. It was once about acceptance, now about an agenda.

The agenda has advanced from legalisation (reasonable, the laws were nor being enforced, bring the law as an institution into disrepute), through toleration (I don’t care what they do in private), then acceptance of public display (you will accept our behaviour), now the push is for acclamation (don’t just accept, cheer). The final step will be the age of consent. I hope that will be a bridge too far, but the hope is slender.

He has nailed his colours to the mast, and shrieked so long and so hard about ritual enslavement and death (in 13 to 43 months), that he has nowhere to go but doubling down now that the coof panic is dying out.

A proven and self-admitted liar and mayo-spreader. Which, by the way he has never addressed – other than to spread more mayo on his chicken burger left in the sun all afternoon.

The easier target for some, it would seem, are the people who react rather than the people who started the contretemps in the first place.

I await the next wordwall, complete with CV.

Puts me in with all the nuff nuffs.

A quite pathetic attempt, and actually quite left wing, putting me into groups.

I even fought against banning numbers

This is correct, although St.Ruth’s definition of ‘fought’ obviously differs to mine.

I didn’t ‘fight’ to keep the Miata driver, but I did mention quite a few times – to quite a few people who wanted him cut from the herd – that I didn’t see it as an option, and that it wasn’t my decision anyway.

There is absolutely no reason – in my view – for banning St. Ruth, if only for the comedy value.

This came even during the 2005 Ashes when England won and the fans brutally sang “Where’s your missus gone?” for hours. He said: “The only way I got over everything was because I was tough upstairs. I blocked everything out.”

He also said at the time that he and McGrath were not going to retire until the Ozzies had won back the Ashes.

Which they did 18 months later, in a record 5-0 thumping. The Adelaide test in that series being one of the best I’ve ever seen.

Hilarious tale of woe by a well-known wymminses magazine editor.

Why your swanky EV is more likely to break down than your banger (4 Mar)

The decision to buy an EV seemed like the logical one for my husband Neil and I back in 2019. Our ancient and battered Land Rover Discovery wouldn’t be compliant with the extended Ultra Low Emissions Zone (ULEZ) in the capital, which came into effect in October 2021, so we wanted to offload that sooner rather than later. Also, our growing teenage twins no longer needed to be ferried to and from sports fixtures across the South East, team-mates and bags of kit in tow. Finally, we thought, we could downsize our car and upscale our commitment to the environment. And we could get something brand new and sexy to assuage any pending midlife crises, too.

When we saw the Jaguar I-Pace electric car in a Mayfair showroom – price, a mere £65,000… – we were both smitten, imagining our next lifestage as empty nesters. Things would be much simpler, and we would have more time for adventures in our cool new set of wheels. If only we’d known how curtailed those exploits were going to be, and how short-lived our love affair with our EV would be.

Admittedly Jags aren’t exactly known for their reliability in general, so an electric version is asking for trouble. And did she have trouble or what…

There’s a bit of that going on.

City Victoria’s lost the plot with food. When there’s too many people the quality goes down
Much of it is very mediocre and over-priced.

The clever cookies have left the smoke and gone regional.

foot of the Grampians, Royal Mail, Dunkeld … on the list

head of the Grampians at Horsham had a perfect eye-filet and deconstructed ceasar salad which, I promptly re-created at home a week later with excellent results

Apparently there’s a nice joint in Merrijig called Boma
That’s on the list

a Pizza joint in Meeniyan called Trulli recommend by a mate.
deffo, on the list

there’s many more … and I’m on a mission to find them

Recently got back from Adelaide where their closeness to the farm and a parochial attitude to content shines.
Best food I’ve had in decades and the joint reminds me a lot of a much smaller Melbourne back when we still had tour buses.

Genuine Whiting on the plate. Not some replacement junk like Hake
Perfectly prepped eye-filet with exquisite hints of tarragon in the sauce
they even had linen table-cloths

In skanky St Claire I had a fish and chip shop burger like I’ve never eaten in my entire life. A fair-dinkum two-handed job that you could hardly get yr gob around
Unbelievable
felt like a kid again.

Mates of ours have a winery, distillery and bar … even their cheese plate was crafted, local and sublime all the way down to the olive oil and balsamico

Same mate says that if they show you the pictures of their food on the website … don’t eat there

You only hear of the famous, but the unkown are dying in their thousands in working age, and children too.
Children are dying (while Notafan holidays), and they are dying from the jab.
You can ignore all their deaths, even though insurance companies aren’t, and call me, what was it above, that’s right ….melodramatic.
[…]

Just a little reminder that this was The Topic at which notafan [now rosie] & I crossed swords; State Mandated Deaths of Children.

I was (at first), willing to accept her claim that she didn’t know Big Pharma relied on the Abortion Industry for parts harvested from still live babies, but when she went hard in support of the NHS & EU Court Death Panels making criminals of parents who wanted to save their children from NHS ‘Best Practice’, I knew her holy roller schtick was just that, a character shield put up so she could cry, “Anti-Catholic Bigot!” whenever HER character was called into question.
The same as another character here.

Also, both of them have no problem religiously & racially vilifying others and worse still, none of those who join in their libelling of others ever call them out when they do far worse than what they falsely accuse others of.

Reminding the general audience that not being a bigot also shows in that you will call out individual arseholes for being arseholes rather than give them a pass because they claim to a ‘protected group’, is heavily frowned upon by the propagandists and generally causes another round of bald faced lies to be tossed at the Anti-Bigot by the Bigots-In-Thin-Disguise.

Again, Social Media exists FOR the Global Agenda Pushers to Socially Pressure the general population into compliance.

That is why you see such vicious, gutter mouthed attacks by self proclaimed ‘princesses’ and their ‘friends’, over ‘outrages’ they invent, being accepted as ‘classy’.

It’s why those they target are constantly being smeared as ‘low class’, far ‘beneath’ the smearing mob members ‘rich’, ‘important’, ‘connected’, blah bullshit blah, ‘position in successful & respected society’.

The cat/s are prime locations to study Totalitarian Propaganda 101.

P.S. rosie & Co.’s answer to any facts exposing them is always, ‘You Lie!’, without any evidence to back up their lies, just the rest of the mob repeating their lies.
This is also why the mob complain about detailed, quoted in full context with time stamps & links, answers to The Liars Lies and not the personal attacks that warrant such detailed replies; it exposes the mob members complicit in keeping up that Social Pressure Against Individuals who refuse to join any mob.
