You have, however, wished for me to be unemployed, living in the street and dead.

Unfortunately, besides living in the street, you will probably be dead soon.
You know that.
I know you HAD to take it and it’s a fucking crime.
A big crime.

In anger, and frustration I may have said something like that.
Why do you think I am being this obtuse now?
I even left catallaxy for a year such was the frustration level at not being able to get through to the deluded, panicked, fearful propaganda victims here.
I begged people to stand firm and not take it.
( I didn’t order).
I fought with notafan, but the second I stopped, the talk immediately went back to case numbers and , well, people were just lost to the nonsense.
I know that has a lot to do with the boomer age group here, who could not bring themselves to believe that the MSM would be all complete shit.
So I left because it was pointless.
What’s done is done.
Most have succumbed, submitted and complied, and unlike you, didn’t really have to.
But two years later we see a delusional denial as the facts poor in, another this morning, maybe even yesterday morning.
We see children dying while notafan reports from Europe after flashing her Nazi party “whites only” style pass, and people wait and are wishing her all the best.
This blog has become the home to the deluded denialists who will tolerate no mirror being held to them.
That’s why JC and Notafan and the desperate to forget their actions congregate here.
Their actions still have consequences and their mental state now is as dangerous as it was two years ago.
It’s denialism.
It’s weakness.

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

Yep. Cardi has nailed it there.

The last two years are what happens when staggeringly stupid vainglorious narcissistic braying donkeys are allowed to “rule” over the masses.

Yet they still expect to be able to slink away with their ill gotten gains, unscathed. Well, sorry* knobheads, it ain’t going to happen.

*I’m not.

Thought similar things myself Indolent. Never looked right.

Absolutely something nagging at me as well as a that doesn’t seem right eg one of the first apartments shown to be hit, “rocket” fired from ground level to 4th or 5th floor, Russians still a few clicks away, since shown to be attack by Ukrainians on Donbass a few years ago.

Reporters breathlessly reporting rocket attacks , but no big kabooms, looked more like flares -ok that can be explained away as ignorance.
That massive stalled Russian convoy has me totally stumped. The perfect target, yet seems to suffer no attacks, not even from a section of infantry/partisans, let alone armour or air. Given it has been sitting there for days threatening Kiev I would have thought that it would be priority target no 1.

A bit more detail.

Warne was in Koh Samui with three mates on a boys’ trip. Koh Samui is a party island, which I know from experience.

Went for afternoon nap. Didn’t wake up.

Koh Samui is a party island. Warne also had considerable form for nose beers. Koh Samui is a party island.

Although I don’t know exactly what caused him to shuffle off this mortal coil (and neither, I might add, does anyone else at this point) I can draw a few inferences that might be closer to the mark than an automatic confirmation bias-based assumption.

Koh Samui is a party island.

If you want to see the true Hawkey, watch the video of Normie Gunston on Parliament House steps, November 11, 1975. The former was very unhappy (to put it mildly) about the latter trivialising such a momentous occasion.

They said that about Jack Kennedy for years, it turned out he was a Flamer.

Have you ever actually linked to any evidence for your multiple claims that particular historical personalities were “flamers”? Or do you just suffer from raging homophobia?

PS, don’t forget your suggestion about JFK and Justine, unfortunately marred by the reality that JFK died years before Justine was born.

Steve Waterson is back in the Weekend Australian and doesn’t miss:

Don’t fall for the myth of Covid competence

At a Sydney restaurant last month I found myself sitting next to a woman I’d never met before, the wife of one of the other guests.

We’d already endured the unattractive, passive-aggressive, American-style formulation of “I need you to check in”, from one of the staff, who then “needed” us to wear a mask for the five metres and six seconds between the entrance and our table.

My old-man mutterings about a time when people began such requests with “Would you mind …” or “Could I trouble you to …” were interrupted by my cheery new dining companion. “You shouldn’t really be complaining,” she smiled. “Australia has done better than anywhere else in handling the pandemic.”

Heroically resisting the urge to up-end the table, I made a few polite observations in response, until my wife gave me her “nobody needs another rant from you” look and piloted the conversation into more tranquil waters.

It’s barely two years since the Covid lunacy first infected us, but already its history is being rewritten. In newspaper columns and on television, opinion-laden pundits are patting the enforcers and the obedient on the back, reassuring themselves with this dazzling myth that we managed our pandemic with admirable wisdom and efficiency.

Lacklustre politicians are understandably keen to embrace and promote this view, starting with the Prime Minister’s mantra that we “saved 30,000 lives”. Did we, though? Figures emerging from the few places that didn’t impose life-changing restrictions on their populations suggest they made next to no difference.

At best we tacked an extra couple of months on to the lives of some very old people in nursing homes, then immediately cancelled whatever benefit that afforded them by turning their last weeks into a lonely, bewildering, miserable slide towards the grave, when they were forbidden to see family and friends and were attended by carers dressed like astronauts. They’re mostly dead by now, but I trust they slipped away with a message of gratitude on their lips.

Have we forgotten what we went through? Is there a societal equivalent of the mechanism by which we suppress the memory of acute pain?

Before the narrative is embedded too deeply to remove, thereby permitting the same ludicrous weapons to be deployed when the next crisis occurs, perhaps we should remind ourselves of some of the highlights of our exemplary Covid performance.

Oh yes indeed, we got through the pandemic better than anyone else, as long as you’re prepared to ignore the curfews. The house arrest. No visitors. Toilet paper battles. Five-kilometre limits. An hour a day of exercise. Closed borders, internationally and internally. Closed pubs, restaurants, shops, parks, gyms, beaches, golf courses.

What else? No hospital or home visits to dying parents or children. No funerals or weddings. No holidays, reunions, gap years. No school or university. No jobs. Small businesses destroyed. A mental-health crisis. Surgeries and medical screenings suspended.

Then the impositions: carrying ID papers outside your home. QR codes. Contact tracing. Masks. Vaccine passports and mandates. Quarantine. Isolation. Protests forbidden. Monstrous fines. The thin blue line of pepper spray and truncheons.

That’s probably enough to be getting on with. Except to note that the whole mad exercise by now will have cost us almost half a trillion dollars. If that’s success, you’d hate to see what failure looks like.

And it’s still not over. Britain and other European countries, much harder hit than we ever were, are lifting all their Covid-related rules; but here, time ran out this week for hundreds of lowly supermarket employees who didn’t want to be vaccinated, punted from their jobs even as unvaccinated customers were flooding, maskless, back into their aisles. Their vaccinated colleagues in the retail sector, meanwhile, are recommended by state governments to continue to wear masks “to protect vulnerable people who must access these premises and services”.

This novel notion that ordinary citizens are obliged to make whatever sacrifices pop into our health bureaucrats’ twisted brains to save their vulnerable neighbours is getting a little sinister. There’s a small number of people I’d feel obliged to protect if they were in danger – family, a few friends, some of their less obnoxious children – but I assume, and expect, that everyone else will similarly see to themselves and their own. We pay substantial taxes to ensure the state takes care of those in genuine need, and my responsibility to the rest of Australia is to behave myself and do as little harm as possible.

It’s a shame if there are people so fragile that contracting Covid is a death sentence, but that’s life in all its savage unfairness. Perhaps I’m an unfeeling monster, but I’m puzzled that their frailty entitles them to have all 25 million of us accommodate their needs, rather than take the appropriate precautions themselves. Is it genuine selflessness that motivates the shoppers who continue to wear masks, or fear? Or even, as I’m starting to suspect, ugly faces?

When America’s doomed experiment of Prohibition ended in 1933, there were counties in many of the Southern states that dreaded the return of alcohol to their towns, and they are still “dry” to this day. The same appears likely to ensue in parts of this country, with vestigial, nonsensical regulations set to remain in force in perpetuity.

How else can we explain the lingering idiocy of the mask rules? In NSW they are still required in “high-risk settings”, such as on public transport. How sitting next to someone for five minutes on a bus or ferry presents a higher risk than sitting next to a stranger for two hours in a cinema defeats me, but it was never about logic, was it? In Victoria, masks are no longer required in most indoor settings, but you still face a fine if they catch you outside the house without one in your pocket.

Pity the poor politicians: it’s so very, very hard to let go, particularly if you’re a certifiable cretin. There are no density limits in our parliaments.

One consolation is that we’re not in freedom-loving Canada, where the measured response to the truckers’ anti-vaccine mandate blockade of Ottawa was to cancel their driving licences, freeze their bank accounts and seize their pets. With luck the truckers will never bring their semi-trailers to the capital again. It would be amusing to see how long the government could go without their maple syrup and poutine, eh? Or in PM Justin Trudeau’s case, without tins of shoe polish for when he’s putting on his party face.

Elsewhere, world affairs reveal how flimsy are the rights and institutions we take for granted, and put this fading disease and our response to it into perspective. Let’s hope we can one day rule a line under these two years of stupidity and focus on more important matters.

Should that day ever arrive, and you find yourself feeling unmoored, nostalgic for the days when ridiculous politicians and their lickspittle minions blew their meddling noses all over your private business, remember the Western Australia fun park has just reopened (the state was shut down for one case last year, but opens now with thousands of cases every day; but again, it’s not about logic, is it?).

Ignore the sneering insults thrown your way in recent months by WA’s profoundly unimpressive Premier, jump on a plane and head west for a taste of the golden era of government overreach, where lockdown remains a thrilling possibility!

Getting in couldn’t be easier: if you’re double-vaccinated, have a valid G2G pass, take a rapid antigen test, carry proof of vaccination, wear a mask everywhere indoors, you’ll be welcomed and encouraged to savour the touristic wonders of the state. My mistake, sorry: that only applies to people from the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Venezuela or any other dump around the world. Interstate Australians will be denied entry unless they can show they’ve had a third vaccine shot.

WA’s obstacle course is moronic, sure, but don’t expect it to disappear in a hurry. Instead rejoice in the inventiveness of our highly placed buffoons, who can be relied upon to deliver a series of comic masterpieces to lift our spirits in troubled times.

Certain characters always lie about ‘the targets’ because it’s how they play the, ‘Social Pressure by the weight of numbers’, hand.

When targets make their own corrections of the lies, ‘the numbers’ attack them with more lies such as the stupidly arse about, lie they are a ‘cry bully’ (for simply correcting the lying crying bullies), and the important attack, lying that they are ‘friendless’ (because they don’t hide behind a mob or call friends & sock puppets in to fight for them), and so warning everyone else about the ostracism they to will suffer should they agree with anything ‘the targets’ say.

I may swear a bit, but I have more integrity in my little finger than Frank will ever have.
I’ve met many like him.
Most of you have way more integrity and class than him, (sorry Notafan, not you) and when you work out what he and his simpleton lackies have helped happen, with over two years of them sneering at the truth and muddying the waters , you might then reassess who truly care.
Notice the one comment.
“Is Frank dead” made by Frank just then.
He is scoffing at a very valid question under the circumstances, and especially this morning, you must ask yourself, did Frank and his 24/7 domination on this blog make me feel more comfortable in taking the jab.

This is the idiocy caused by moral vanity of the professional “good people “caste.

G7 nations condemn attack on Ukraine civilians, urge accountability for war crimes

Now spoiler, I used to think this was a good approach, but with one important caveat, you dont announce this sort of shit until a war is over.

“We reemphasize that indiscriminate attacks are prohibited by international humanitarian law. We will hold accountable those responsible for war crimes, including indiscriminate use of weapons against civilians,” G7 foreign ministers said in a joint statement released by the US State Department.

In effect they are announcing to Putin that his only choice is victory.
If he loses the war he will be hounded and imprisoned.
Its the same choice they offered Gadhafi (dead), Saddam (dead, but kept insurgency running anyway) and more to the point Assad.
If Assad had been granted the traditional “gold parachute” ending of dictators (loot the treasury, run for Saudi Arabia or similar) at his low ebb when things were going bad he might have gone. Instead the spastic wise men in wigs gave him the stark choice of victory or imprisonment/death, for him and a lot of his leadership team.
Many thousands less lives lost, massively less infrastructure and economic damage etc.

War crimes trials should be weighed against the evil they help continue.
Never announce or run them until a war is finished and you have most of the people to be prosecuted in the bag.

Dear ssr

1. Yes I am a princess, thank you….I’m a Jewish princess.

2. I’ve never tried to ban anyone however I understand that sometimes, as in the case of Bird, it’s necessary to ban him in order to keep the blog alive and well. The blog cannot be a dumping ground for Jew haters and far-right lunatics who believe Jews run the world.

3. Do you agree that Bird, with his chronic anti-Semitism, should be banned?

4. I’ve asked you time and time again to ignore me, now I understand you find it quite hard because my posts are often very good but I’ll ask you politely yet again to ignore me, just as I ignore you. However since you, once again, can’t help but mention my name, I’ll respond accordingly…fuck off.

5. I was going to post a thank you to you for uploading the Lotus Eaters piece on the “The Destabilisation of Ukraine”….which happens to be very good and everyone should watch it…..but I won’t because one thing is clear, you’re a nasty, vindictive piece of work who Sinclair rightly banned for being a menace on the blog, just like you’re banned from other sites.

When you became Labour Party leader, seven weeks before the 2017 election, you had been a little-known list MP. We now know that nine months before being elected to Parliament in 2008, you had become President of the International Union of Socialist Youth. The fact that instead of immediately resigning from that role after becoming an MP, you continued on as President for a further fifteen months, should have caused concern – especially after a video emerged showing you referring to conference attendees as “comrades” fifteen times in seven minutes.

Being trusting people, we didn’t think that meant you were a communist.We saw the media fawning over your elevation to Party leader so enthusiastically that the term “Jacindamania” was coined. And we noted that these media cheerleaders gave you favourable coverage during the election campaign.

In spite of that, Labour received 956,000 votes or 36.9 percent, while 1,152,000 New Zealanders – 44.4 percent – supported National.That result showed the country had overwhelmingly voted for conservatism and stability.But Winston Peters, holding the balance of power and ignoring the wishes of the majority of voters, anointed you as our 40th Prime Minister.

Kiwis are fair-minded, and you were given the chance to prove yourself. But while you had great communication skills, and what appeared to be genuine empathy, it soon became clear that true to your hard line roots you intended to impose destructive socialist extremism onto New Zealand.

The first indication of your intention was your unilateral decision to ban new deep sea oil drilling to effectively close down New Zealand’s oil and gas industry. This was done without warning, without consultation, and without Cabinet approval, on the eve of your first overseas trip as Prime Minister – allegedly so you could look decisive on the world stage.

We saw this again following the Christchurch terror attack – even though the perpetrator was a deranged foreigner, you cracked down on the rights of law-abiding Kiwi firearm owners without warning, consultation, or proper justification. Driven by a seemingly insatiable desire for international recognition, you appeared oblivious to the livelihoods and lifelong interests you were destroying.

We then became concerned in 2019 to hear you tell a meeting hosted by Bill Gates, that without our knowledge, you were imposing the United Nations Agenda 2030 onto New Zealand: “My Government is doing something not many other countries have tried. We have incorporated the principles of the 2030 Agenda into our domestic policy-making in a way that we hope will drive system-level actions. I believe that the change in approach that we have adopted in New Zealand is needed at a global scale.”

But while you were successfully embedding the UN’s socialist agenda into every regulation and law change, your election promises of building affordable housing, reducing homelessness, and eliminating child poverty were all turning into dismal failures.

And even though the media had largely stuck by you, by the end of 2019 the growing discontent – especially within the business and farming sectors that were facing a tsunami of restrictive rules and regulations – was so widespread it was reflecting in the polls, indicating yours was likely to be a one-term government.

That is until Covid-19 came along early in election year. Covid became a socialist leader’s dream. It enabled emergency measures curtailing freedom and liberty to be embedded into every facet of our lives – with minimal Parliamentary scrutiny.

Under the guise of fighting Covid you hired a multi-million-dollar Rolls Royce communications team to provide you with expert advice: as long as you could keep fear of Covid top of mind right up to voting day, your re-election was assured.

And that’s exactly what happened. Winning over 50 percent support from New Zealanders was a remarkable achievement. On election night you assured the country you would govern for ‘all’ Kiwis: “We will not take your support for granted. And I can promise you, we will be a party that governs for every New Zealander.”

We wanted to believe you. But we now know, those words were a lie. The separatist agenda you unleashed is unprecedented in New Zealand’s history. We now know that you concealed the ‘He Puapua’ blueprint- to replace democracy with tribal rule – for 12 months prior to the election.

That report reveals your plan is to introduce 50:50 co-governance, to give the Maori elite, who represent just 15 percent of the population, disproportionate power and unimaginable authority over the lives of the 85 percent of other New Zealanders. Why did you not tell us during the election campaign that you intended to transfer democratic power to an unelected and unaccountable tribal aristocracy so they can control New Zealand for their own benefit?

Since you didn’t reveal those intentions before the election, you have no mandate from New Zealanders to replace democracy with tribal rule. And while you have denied ‘He Puapua’ is Labour Party policy, it’s clear that is another lie.

New Zealanders are not stupid – we have read the He Puapua report and we can see that the laws you are now enacting are part of this agenda for tribal control.

In health, when you realised that a Maori Health Authority with the right of veto over the entire health system couldn’t be established under the decentralised District Health Board model, without any consultation you announced that DHBs would be abolished. You have no mandate to replace community control of health with a centralised apartheid bureaucracy prioritising Maori over those with more serious medical needs.

Putting race ahead of need is not the New Zealand way. It is shocking and callous. How can anyone with genuine empathy and a clear conscience possibly think it’s OK? And restructuring the entire health system during a pandemic is not only ideological madness, but it borders on being criminally reckless.

In education you are allowing Maori extremists to dictate the curriculum and indoctrinate children with a worldview that denigrates our history and the people who helped build our nation.

In local government, you abolished the democratic rights of local communities to reject plans to divide them by race. It seems clear that this was the first step towards the He Puapua goal of tribal control of local authorities.

You have no mandate for your disastrous Three Waters proposal to give control of ratepayer-funded water infrastructure and services to the Maori tribal elite. Communities up and down the country are outraged at this blatant seizing of local assets – and the transfer of democratic control that will undoubtedly lead to the imposition of royalties to Maori whenever a Kiwi tap is turned on.

And what about your plan to silence opponents through proposed hate speech laws? You did not seek a mandate to ‘criminalise’ someone for political views – such as criticising Labour politicians or Maori supremacists – yet that is what your draft law changes are proposing.

Nor did you seek a mandate to effectively buy media support for your plan for tribal rule. You campaigned on funding the media, but you did not explain that the $55 million Public Interest Journalism Fund would be contingent on supporting the fabricated Maori ‘partnership’ claim that underpins He Puapua. In some countries, political leaders who attempt to unduly influence the media through taxpayer funding, are being accused of corruption.

What hold does the tribal elite have over you? Why are you prepared to sacrifice the democratic rights of all New Zealanders, so they can have power? Kind people may think that you are simply naive and being duped by your Maori caucus. Others believe that creating disunity is part of your socialist DNA.

When it comes to your management of Covid, we are now witnessing the loss of liberty on a scale unimaginable from a New Zealand Prime Minister.

You have given yourself the authority to control our lives, even to the point of allowing police – or their ‘agents’ – to enter our homes and businesses without a warrant.

Now, through vaccine mandates – that you promised before the election you would not introduce – you are dividing our nation and trampling over sacred civil liberties and democratic rights protected by the New Zealand Bill of Rights.

In 1990, when Labour Prime Minister Geoffrey Palmer was introducing the Bill of Rights in Parliament, he explained that it was a safeguard to protect New Zealanders against the unbridled power of future governments: “It is unlikely that there will be a wholesale disregard of human rights in New Zealand in the foreseeable future, but… we cannot afford to wait until rights disappear before we take action, because it is too late by that stage. It is better to have a Bill of Rights when it is not needed than to not have one when it is needed.”

Now, twenty-one years later, you are leading a government that is doing exactly what he believed would never happen in New Zealand – you are stomping on the basic human rights of New Zealanders.

This is not the New Zealand way – and it is not what voters thought they were getting when they gave you the responsibility of leading our country for the benefit of all.

You have betrayed us, and we have lost trust in you and your Government.
That’s why we don’t love you anymore, Jacinda – and why we want you to resign.

Yours sincerely, Dr Muriel Newman

Interesting article on the Palmersaurus party..
It is worth a RTWT even if they cant help sneering at anyone who thinks the last 2 years have been a monumental disaster.

https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2022/mar/05/kellys-heroes-can-the-uaps-politics-of-anger-derail-the-australian-election
I like the sound of this bloke.
Julian Fayad describes himself as a “regular” guy. The 29-year-old second-generation Australian with a Lebanese background runs a finance business in western Sydney, has a young family and has lived in Parramatta his entire life.

Like many Australians, he had only a passing interest in politics, until the impact of Covid restrictions on his community lit a spark.

“I was having grown men that I would consider to be somewhat bulletproof – strong, great business owners, really switched on – calling me up crying because they were unable to pay their rent,” Fayad tells Guardian Australia.

“There was the laptop class, that I am actually part of, and then there was everybody else.

“If you want to know what’s happening in Parramatta, take a walk down Church Street – every second shop has a ‘for lease’ sign on it. The restaurants and the small businesses, they still have the signage on them, but they are freshly closed and lost.”

Angry at what he saw as a betrayal of his community (“the federal government screwed us, the state government screwed us”), Fayad decided to put his hand up to run for the United Australia party in the western Sydney seat of Parramatta.

“This was not on my list of goals. If you had told me 18 months ago I was going to run as a candidate for the UAP, I would have laughed in your face.

“I would normally have no business paying attention to this. I am a regular person, wife, two kids, young family, but the danger [the major parties] have run into is people like me are now paying attention.”

Hmm this makes the usual omni-smear of garage nazis a little harder to sustain.
Craig Kelly, the defector Liberal MP and now leader of the UAP, says his observation is the party has won over strong support from first, second and third generation migrants from former eastern bloc countries, the Middle East and Vietnam.

“Where they have had first hand experience themselves, or a story from a grandfather or mother about how they lived in a country that didn’t have the freedoms they have enjoyed in Australia for decades, that seems to be where we are getting the strongest support from,” Kelly tells Guardian Australia.

….

Never change gruinaid ‘white people are the worst”…
In this world of perceived threats, Palmer’s freedom narrative resonates.

“For some of them it is status anxiety, so white males there they don’t like getting told by authority what to do in their lives,” Samaras says. “They’ve had it like that for two years and they’ve lost their brains.


And if Palmer preferences against the Liberals? “Labor wins in a landslide,” one senior figure said.

I once read a short horror/sci-fi story that made quite an impression on me. It was about a man who received a brain injury and woke up from his coma able to read minds. It might be where the “Unbreakable” story line came from, though that was by touch only.

He was unable to turn it off.

The thing started quite benignly, he heard people thinking about cooking dinner, and admiring someone’s looks – the nice, everyday stuff. And then the “gift” amplified – he heard the stream-of-consciousness horror blurting up from deep within the psyche. The hatred, distain, malice, cruelty.

In the end he went quite mad.

The internet can be like that. It gives some people license to vent stuff that the normal veneer papers over adequately enough for everyday life.

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.

When you look at how much the UN & other Leaches churn in the selling of that evil, ‘as good’, and for how long they’ve been at it, ‘slender’, still looks like ‘Fat Chance’ –

“The History & Agenda Behind CSE
One of the main goals of comprehensive sexuality education is to radically change the gender and sexual norms of society and to establish rights for children as sexually autonomous beings. In order to fulfill these alleged sexual rights, activists claim that children must have unfettered access to “comprehensive” sexual information that leaves no sexual knowledge behind.

The following is a list of some of the core philosophies upon which CSE programs are based:

• Children are naturally sexual from birth, therefore any restrictions on their sexual expression or sexual activity violates their sexual rights.

• To have good health, children and adults alike should be having regular sexual experiences either alone (masturbation) or with persons of either gender.

• A right to sexual pleasure, even at the youngest ages is a primary human right that trumps other rights.

• Children have privacy and confidentiality rights that trump the rights of their parents to guide their education in the area of human sexuality.

• Children have a right to abortion and to sexual relations without the knowledge and consent of their parents.

• Most societal sexual and gender norms, especially those based in religious beliefs are repressive and unhealthy and should be changed.

• Children have the right to experiment with diverse sexual identities and orientations and the behaviors associated with them in order to develop a healthy sexuality.

• Youth are to be enlisted to combat “homophobia,” “transphobia” and “heterosexism” and to advocate for their sexual rights,

• Youth should be involved in the design and implementation of CSE programs.

• Children, under internationally recognized rights to health and education, have a right to all sexual information, uncensored and without parental consent.

Where did all of these sexual philosophies and the “children are sexual from birth” concept come from? Who decided that the world’s children should have all of these sexual rights and should be taught about and encouraged to experiment with high-risk sexual acts?”

Mate of mine had one (bought it as a joke back in Adelaide) and I drove it a few times.

Wiki has a good description:

The gear stick came horizontally out of the dashboard with the handle curved upwards. The shift pattern: first gear was back on the left, second and third were inline, and fourth could be engaged only by turning the lever to the right from third. Reverse was opposite first. The idea was to put the most used gears opposite each other—for parking, first and reverse; for normal driving, second and third.

An applied chemist has passed away aged 101.

Farewell to Aleksander Tarnawski, the last ‘cichociemny’ of the Polish resistance (4 Mar)

This Friday Aleksander Tarnawski “Up?az” passed away. He was the last of the 316 members of the elite force of the Armia Krajowa (AK), the main organization of the Polish resistance in World War II, the famous “Cichociemni” (silent and dark).

Aleksander was 18 years old when the Germans, Soviets and Slovaks invaded Poland. He was a student at the Faculty of Chemistry at the University of Lwów, so in 1939 he was not mobilized. The Soviets arrested him in Drohobych, but released him shortly after. He fled to Hungary on October 26, 1939 and from there reached France, where he joined the Polish Army that had been formed in the country, being assigned to the 1st Infantry Regiment of the 1st Grenadier Division. After the fall of France he was evacuated to England, being assigned to the 16th Armored Brigade and later to the 1st Armored Division of the Polish Army.

In the summer of 1943 he volunteered to join the Armia Krajowa (AK, Home Army). He was trained as a commando in order to be parachuted into Poland to assist the AK in sabotage actions. The commando unit consisted of 316 operators. Together with them he was sent to Brindisi (Italy). From there he flew to Poland. He was dropped over his native country on the night of April 16-17, 1944, near Baniocha (24 kilometers south of Warsaw), as part of Operation Weller 12.

In May 1944 he was assigned to the Nowogródek District of the AK, which he infiltrated into the Todt Organization, an entity of the German armed forces that brought together foreigners employed in forced labor to build all kinds of infrastructure. In Nowogródek he was in charge of sabotage and explosives production
