Don’t get me wrong, I hate Putin too. I hate him like cancer. I hated him when hating him wasn’t cool. I’m just not stupid enough to believe that punishing people for being born in Russia will do anything to stop any of this.

It seems that Morrison has been accused of having “a woman problem” and it’s said that he might be over-reacting to the manoeuvres of certain activist women. The Tudge matter is a case in point. When a tactic works, however fake it is, it’s going to be used again.
Tony Abbott was said to have “a woman problem”. This was amplified by a totally fake attack on him by Gillard. Any decent woman could find much to admire in Tony Abbott, but such observations matter little in the world of media-hyped politics.
There are two common threads in this:
1. Both Abbott and Morrison have been successful in their political lives, and
2. The problem has been activism by certain women, not a problem in the character of those men.
If Dutton ever becomes PM he will probably face the same sort of subterfuge, and may have already. -
I posted an image of the poisonous propaganda pumped out by Western Educators under the evil ideology that is Critical Race Theory.
Cassie of Sydney says:

“I seriously don’t know how anyone puts up with the poison challis that ‘Cassie of Sydney’ is, knowing that no one is safe from her confected outrages and bitter preciousness.”What confected outrage? You, slag heap, have posted a link to a racist and neo-Nazi…someone who denies the Holocaust……but once again you refuse to take any responsibility for your actions and you always play the victim.
Oh and by the way slag heap, it’s poisoned chalice.
You really are a fetid disgrace….but even that description is too charitable.
Dover….can you please remove the link at 7.45…..she jeopardies the blog by posting links to neo-Nazis.
I’m sorry that I don’t know every position of everyone who posts on the Net, but the position of a poster doesn’t make an observation of the tools used to push Critical Race Theory, false.
Interestingly, in the Lotus Eaters video I watched & posted later (about States & Companies “un-banking” people & stealing their money, with no right of reply or redress), they mentioned that person as a target worthy of that ‘Social Credit’ System that robs & starves ‘wrong thinkers’ who include the Canada Trucker’s Supporters.
And this is where I wouldn’t trust you as far as I could kick you.
You didn’t simply want the OP removed ‘for the safety of Dover’s blog’.
If that were the case you would have quietly emailed Dover with your concern, but no, you simply had to keep using Dover’s blog to keep trying to publicly ‘prove’ me an ‘anti-Semite’ (after getting it so embarrassingly wrong so many times), because like all obsessive name droppers, you don’t give a hoot about anyone but yourself.
You’ve already tried too many times to declare people ‘Anti-Semites’ & ‘Nazis’ for the ‘great crime’ of simply being on Gab.
That Gab is full of Jews & others who take on the Anti-Semites or simply block them, means nothing to you.
Just being on Gab makes them ‘Anti-Semites’ by association, by the same illogic you keep trying to push here, so yeah, you’ve already shown that you’re capable of betraying your own if it means you can declare yourself, ‘the most virtuous “Jewish Princess” in the village’.

Another excellent article by Steve Waterson in the Oz.
Don’t fall for the myth of Covid competence
STEVE WATERSON
11:00PM MARCH 4, 2022
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.

Anyway, onto something important enough to have ‘Sundance’ at Conservative Treehouse Re-Post it at the top of the page, and so well and truly worth re-posting here in the hope that more will take in the full implications of what’s being revealed –
Dr. Andrew Hill, The Man Who Killed Millions?
[…]
His decision gave the medical research community the space to claim Ivermectin was ineffective, and thus the Big Rx vaccination protocol was affirmed.In this video, the single most influential person in the anti-Ivermectin narrative, Dr. Andrew Hill, admits to knowingly shaping his findings based on institutional influence and withholding information about the efficacy of Ivermectin while millions of people were dying. This video is absolutely stunning. WATCH:

The problem has been activism by certain women, not a problem in the character of those men.
The Left has gone low and dirty. This slimy tactic was first developed against Clarence Thomas, and perfected against Brett Kavanaugh. Fake calumnies used for effect and amplified by the lefty MSM. It stinks, but I don’t know what you do about it. It seems very effective on a certain type of low information woman – which we saw endlessly in Trump’s case where he always polled 10 or 15 points higher among men.
It’s why when the Right gets in they have to go hard, really really hard. Shut down lefty public sector organizations, fire lefty bureaucrats, lay waste to this infrastructure of lies.

Really sophisticated piece from Aaron Maté on Ukraine.
A bit of history, but some reports on some new stuff that would knock the socks off the punters flying Ukraine flags. -
From the piece above.
The centrality of fascist elements to the Maidan coup was recently trumpeted by one of its key figures. At a public event in Kiev last month, Yevhen Karas of the neo-Nazi C14 gang proclaimed that “Maidan was a victory for nationalist forces.” Dismissing what he called the “LGBT and foreign embassies” who “say ‘there were not many Nazis at Maidan,’” Karas offered a correction: “If not for those eight percent [of neo-Nazis] the effectiveness [of the Maidan coup] would have dropped by 90 percent.”
Without his far-right allies, Karas added, “that whole thing would have turned into a gay parade.”

This isn’t at all creepy, threatening and an explanation as to why the likes of, Pro-Jab & Anti-Ivermectin notafan/rosie et al are so comfortably smug at their job of shoving that shit down our throats –
Surgeon General Asks Social Media Companies for Target List of COVID Skeptics and Influencers
March 5, 2022 | sundance | 20 CommentsDr. Vivek H. Murthy, Vice Admiral, U.S. Public Health Service Surgeon General of the United States, is married to a woman named Dr. Alice Tu Chen. If you look into the past of the surgeon general’s wife, you will discover Alice Chen is essentially a ghost – from the perspective of: who were her parents, where is her family? The lack of early childhood, parental and familial history is a key characteristic of CCP plants in the U.S.
When the U.S. Dept of Justice recently announced they were dropping the Chinese spy initiative, a program to review how CCP officials had been working for years to seed the U.S. with Chinese operatives, indications are the DOJ motive was connected to serious internal discoveries surrounding the wife of the U.S. Surgeon General, Alice Chen. I do not say this lightly.
Unfortunately, a tangential outcome from eliminating the FBI “China Initiative’, is recognizing we now have a completely compromised U.S. Surgeon General who is a controlled mechanism for the Fourth Branch of Government to leverage. This is the background context for this story.
Amid recent revelations surrounding the purposeful use of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic by government entities for political gains, which includes the structural control of social society vis-a-vis digital ID’s or COVID passports, The New York Times is now reporting the U.S. Surgeon General wants a list of people, groups and entities who were spreading “misinformation” about the COVID-19 vaccinations.
(NYT) President Biden’s surgeon general on Thursday formally requested that the major tech platforms submit information about the scale of Covid-19 misinformation on social networks, search engines, crowdsourced platforms, e-commerce platforms and instant messaging systems.
The surgeon general, Dr. Vivek Murthy, also demanded information from the platforms about the major sources of Covid-19 misinformation, including those that engaged in the sale of unproven Covid-19 products, services and treatments. (more)
Knowing what we know about the extent of the government activity, influence and manipulation in the vaccination process, we should likely view this story through the prism of government now managing their risk exposure. [HHS notification Here] – [Federal Register Notification Here]

“Another Alternate Perspective on Ukraine From Col Douglas Macgregor

[…]
It appears all of the western interests, specifically the billions of dollars flowing into Ukraine from U.S. and western sources, are the driving factor in Zelenskyy’s decision making. The Ukraine President held a zoom conference with the U.S. Senate today and received more assurances of money and arms to keep up the battle. The U.S. is going to frame this as a multi-year-long insurgency battle if Vladimir Putin succeeds.” -

This is the fact nobody will confront. That Russia (not Putin, but the Russian political class, including Putin’s critics) legitimately perceived NATO expansion as threatening wasn’t invented by RT & Grayzone last week, but was the widespread view of top US officials for decades:Gray Connolly

The current CIA Director, William Burns [left], and a former CIA Director (and US Defense secretary), Robert Gates [right], both warned years ago, in the clearest terms, of the inevitable Russian response to any attempt to expand NATO to include Ukraine.
Are these two Putinists?Indeed.

On Ukrainian Flags at the Gay & Lesbian Mardi Gras:
Here’s the bloodthirsty reality of the Flamer lifestyle:
https://www.familyresearchinst.org/2009/02/violence-and-homosexuality/
Excerpt:“…In line with traditional psychiatric opinion, violence goes hand-in-hand with the ‘gay’ lifestyle… Almost all the exposure by homosexuals to violence and disease is encountered within the gay subculture, rather than outside of it. Most of the murderers in the lifespan study whose sexual orientation could be determined were also homosexual. While violence toward homosexuals is deplorable, most violence involving gays is self-induced. Overall, the gay subculture may export more violence than it absorbs from without…” -
LGBT campaigner likens Christianity to Holocaust
Claims ‘history is repeating itself’A letter signed by thousands of Christian ministers and pastoral workers in the United Kingdom, asking lawmakers to make sure Christian prayer and preaching are not censored by any bans on so-called “conservation therapy,” is as bad as the “Holocaust.”
That’s according to LGBT campaigners who are warning in the United Kingdom and elsewhere around the world that they will tolerate no comment, no sermon, no prayer, no suggestion that their chosen alternative sexual lifestyles should or could be abandoned.
