Ah look.

Big Brained Rex getting stuck into truck drivers again.

That whole Canada Convoy thing must have been murder for you to keep your mouth shut during the duration of, musn’t it? Having to pretend all that time.

Last century this retard would have been saying the same about the World Federation of Democratic Youth.

“Hey morons, it’s just a talk fest, that it has a rigid ideological structure, the backing of the most power people on earth and an entire utopian vision of the world that its members all fully agree with and has many who are now in cabinet positions in dozens of countries. But that doesn’t mean anything!”.

Nope. Never said anything against the Convoy, and thought it was marvellous to see the popular groundswell. The Emergency Declaration was an act of desperate arseholery by a man incapable of de-escalation.

I know you don’t.

By choice.

Well if the choice is to take a death jab it ain’t a choice …….to those with half a fucking brain.
Especially now as it all comes out, like the high court in the USA ban mandating it and the reports are exposed.
And dumb fucks like you do as you are told by the MSM and Klaus and watch the war in Ukraine.
Or a sort of war……….

I tried to save lives on this blog from the very start, that’s doing something Choo choo, and I again tried as soon as bloody dot said he was going to submit, just recently, but I realise now, that if a Queenslander says anything, especially a truckie type, well people will actually kill themselves rather than look at what was said, the information presented and the ethics involved,……it’s only about who said it ….and race to sneer and mock.

Well how’s that worked out for them?

Arrogance, ignorance, and bigotry to a certain degree is going to kill even more (as the guy who played Elton John collapses).
It’s all coming out now.

What all you ticking time bombs should do now ( a suggestion not an order) is realise, you’re fucked. it’s too late for you, so worry about saving children and any you know, not just your families, and drag the fuckers into the street that you submitted to, and practice a little justice you’ll never get in courts.
Do something while you are still ticking.

What have you done for anyone, choo choo man, except help muddy the waters by carrying on?
How many people felt…oh well, it’s just struth and a few others carrying on….I’m going to get the jab.

It’s forever on you, not me.

Deep denialism at the overwhelming evidence is expected.
Who wants to admit the awful truth, and what they did to themselves.
But time now to help others.

Just because you are still breathing now, does that make the jab safe?
Of course not, as the video above, by the inventor explains.
I could start mocking now, It’s well past my turn, and the frustration felt over the last two years warrants it, but this is serious shit, and although I may swear, I’ve got more class in my little finger than you choo choo.
It’s a disaster, and no one should be laughing.

Correct. From Struth’s own manifesto, which became the opening shot in the First Great Truck vs Train War:

https://freedomaustralia.freeforums.net/thread/1066/digital-tyranny-transport

…It may also surprise you to know that truck drivers used to often “doctor” their log books to give themselves better rest, and to remain less fatigued.
I was one of them.
Let me explain.
If I finished work at midnight, and by law I was required to have a twenty four hour break, when can I next start working, according to dumb log book regulations?
That’s right…..midnight.
Our Australian log book was written by public servants who have no concept of competition and cost.
We must therefore go at midnight.
For fourteen legal hours after that, I may add.
So old hands like me, would leave early, and go down the road and go to bed, sleeping in the ungodly hours, and put it down that we drove from midnight.
This allowed our body clocks to better keep us from being “fatigued” .
The computer makes these little transgressions impossible, and complying with the actual log book regulations makes you a fatigued wreck.

And yet, somehow Communist Koalas on the railways are able to manage and recover their fatigue to the extent that despite their rolling 24 hour, 7 day rosters, fatalities are so rare as to make the evening news and be remarked upon…

On the Biden admin’s strategy in Ukraine:

“I do think the plan is to prolong the fighting… to complete the destruction of Ukraine by turning it into a quasi-Afghanistan.” – Ret. US Army Col. Douglas Macgregor

So, not only does this drive Russian and, possibly, India, closer to China, it might even break off Europe from the USA.

The only thing that will drive India closer to China is the earth swallowing the Himalayas.
A prolonged conflict in the Ukraine is a threat to Putin because the last thing he needs is a an embarrassed military. In recent decades Russia’s military has been very run down. Generals like new toys. He needs to keep the military on his side so the West is happy to prolong this conflict(at the expense of Ukraine citizens!) because it paints the Russian military as incompetent and increases the possibility of Putin being ousted.

For those disinclined to conspiracy theories, here is a very good explanation of the Hivemind:

A good example is this item in the war propaganda about Ukraine. The three “journalists” were given a story by the State Department that claims Putin is organizing death squads for after the invasion. He plans to unleash these death squads on the LGBTQI+ community in Ukraine. They also plan to fan out around the world to assassinate Ukrainian and Belarusian political opponents.

The whole thing is laughable nonsense, but the people authoring the story are unqualified to question any of it, even if they possessed the self-awareness to wonder why they were handed this scoop by government agents. Of course, that is why they were selected for the leak. That node on the network instinctively looks for the most gullible and compliant nodes on the media side for these selected leaks.

The point of this is to inject the story into the network so it circulates throughout the system and flashes from media nodes. An intern at National Review picked it up and reposted it on their site, which will get the story reposted on other neocon sites. The left-wing sites will then pick it up and, as if by magic, the prevailing consensus will be that this insane bit of propaganda is now received wisdom.

And, another story from the excellent Takimag site about how a subset of the population are always up for the latest ailment/excuse for why they are not ‘happy’:

Juliet
I have some personal experience here. In 1991, I dated a woman who would go on to become a high-profile MCS poster girl. I’ll call her “Juliet.” She didn’t discover she had MCS until after we stopped dating (indeed, she wasn’t “diagnosed” until the 1995 indie film Safe came out, which introduced hypochondriacs to the ailment).

Juliet was what I call a “personal utopian.” Political utopians believe in governments or ideologies that can ostensibly bring about a perfect world. But personal utopians internalize that mania. They don’t accept that any human should ever have a “bad” day (sadness, sluggishness, irritability). They don’t believe it’s natural. Having a bad day means there’s something wrong with you, something that must be “cured.”

These are the people whose belief in “climate change” rests on the notion that the weather should be perfect every day. An abnormally cold week, or an abnormally hot one, means something’s wrong. It can’t possibly be natural.

If personal utopians stopped existing, the pharmaceutical industry would fold overnight, and therapists would become welfare cases.

It should be noted that two separate surveys found that the majority of Rajneesh women had spent years in therapy.

Juliet tried everything—yoga, meditation, crystals, mysticism, “holistic healing”—to rid her of imperfect days. Finally she realized it was MCS. She sued her employer for the right to work from home.

Classroom ventilation, toxic kids, remote employment…these things long predate Covid.

The article says that teachers are very high on the neuroitic list, hence all the demands that little kids wear masks.

Ditto vaxes – shoulda said “No!”, but didn’t.
At what point can you continue to place yourself in a giant financial hole? 70%? 80%? 90% disagreeing and wanting to force you?
How big a hole can someone with a family and mortgage afford?
How much of a social outcast can you be?
How much family pressure can you bear?
How much of all of those at once?
If you can bear it, good for you.
Just recognise that your circumstances are not mine, or Rex’s, or anyone else’s – just yours.

First paragraphs from Julie Kelly at American Greatness. This trial is going to be fascinating and FBI must be pooing themselves. Their three top agents in the case not giving evidence for the prosecution !

“Jury selection begins in a Grand Rapids courtroom Tuesday morning in the federal trial of four men accused of conspiring to kidnap Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer in 2020.

The long-awaited trial centers on the question of whether a loose band of misfits angry at pandemic lockdowns hatched a sinister plot to abduct Whitmer from her vacation cottage and possibly kill her—or if the foiled caper was yet another successful attempt by the Federal Bureau of Investigation to interfere in a election and sabotage Donald Trump’s presidential campaign.

Timing of the trial could not be worse for the scandal-plagued agency quickly losing the trust of the American people. Top FBI officials refuse to account for its role in the events of January 6, 2021, raising concerns even among some in Congress that FBI assets acted improperly before and during that day. The first trials of January 6 defendants start this month but the Justice Department has yet to make hundreds of thousands of FBI files available to defense attorneys”.

There was a live one made in Sydney but I can’t find it – grr.

Anyway, Rabz, a single session (even with more than 100 contributions) is not enough. Many, many bands and songs are yet to be mentioned. How about a later version down the track?

Meanwhile, I like both Soul and 60s, but disco would be more challenging and therefore interesting.

I have to laugh about the “make me a sammich” horror.

The very first thin I learned in Home Economics (1968) was how to make sandwiches properly (as opposed to improper sandwiches – this was covered with much hilarity on Old Cat some time ago, footballer and physio imbroglio).

Thin sliced bread. Filling at least twice the thickness of bread. Must have meat or cheese plus some sort of relish and salad. Styled “a hearty sandwich to pack for your husband’s lunch”.

Having seen the enormous lunches mum packed for my hard-working dad, my response was, “only one?”.

Still, if it works out like you say, then I hope you’re ready to farm to feed yourself – manually, no tractors because no fuel, no going to the supermarket (no staff, no deliveries), no electricity, no medical help, just back to 1800’s lifestyle. Hope you’re ready for it, hope you’ll be still gloating then.

Do you think I’m hoping it works out like that?
It’s more likely to now!
We’re rushing toward it on the four horses of the apocalypse.
It’s a war, and your mortgage is the least of your concern.
Keeping your loved ones and yourself alive is paramount.

It’s the way it’s headed because as a nation, an emasculated nation, we shat ourselves at the start.
You know you didn’t save anything Kneel, you lost everything.
Instead of losing a little at the start, you have delayed it, so you could lose everything later on.
You actual life, your kids lives, (if they’re jabbed) your freedom and your country.
Everything.
They didn’t do this to look after you.
You and I are white “useless feeders”.
We are the cause of deadly climate Change.

What good did it do?
What’s done is done.
Make a mistake once……..but here we go again playing straight into their hands with scary wars.
Look over here kiddies, it’s really scary…………

You may note that even with masks gone in QLD , the mandates remain.
The states of Emergencies remain in all states.
The war will be the excuse to empty our shelves, while people who loved giving away their own freedom cheer on a team they are told to cheer on…..fighting for freedom?
Sco Mo and Trudeau actually talk of democracy and freedom…..

It’s the insanity here, and it’s actually more pronounced here than twitter. More people get it there!

How big a hole can someone with a family and mortgage afford?
How much of a social outcast can you be?
How much family pressure can you bear?
How much of all of those at once?

The choice to jab yourself and your children will cost you more than all of that put together.
And you know it.
You know it now, and it can’t be dismissed as conspiracy theory.
The jabs are deadly.
They admit it.
You don’t know if you’ve killed yourself prematurely, unable to collect life insurance as it will be deemed suicide, or that you’ve shortened your children’s lives.
I’d rather not have a cent than have that on my conscience.
You have to live with that, and you let the missus jab the children……….
I’d be fighting that with every breath.
Remember my son and grandson are jabbed….I couldn’t stop it.

And everyday now, they are letting the cat out of the bag about just how deadly the jabs have been.
Why?
Because phase two starts now.
Hyper inflation blamed on a distant war.

We get to know they killed many of us and many more will die, but we’ll be preoccupied with other things and they believe there’s nothing we can do about it anyway.

No elite will suffer for this and no justice will be served.
Power, gained and flaunted.

No physical wealth is worth the mental anguish that submitting to the jab will bring, besides the early deaths and those of children.

I hate to be blunt Kneel, but the price you paid for temporary relief was too high.
Way too high.

I am not holding it against you, and you held out, I’ll give you whatever help I can, I’m devestated by all this as any sane man is.
But we had gooses like Frank and choo choo, keeping us from getting down to real discussions, serious ones, as their fear put them into denial mode.
Scoffing at what is now common knowledge.
They’re not helping.
Your real friends are the pains in the arse, not the smart arses who amuse you with shallow, unethical idiocy.

Rabz and I have been putting up Donna Summer for years, Rabz more than me because he’s a bloke, I guess. But, I hadn’t seen calli’s version, and it’s a cracker.

Went with the motel owner to pick up her new cat – a rescue kitten about 5 months old. She is joining the resident cat, an elderly lady of about 11 who still managed to bring a dead rat in to the owner’s loungeroom yesterday as a tribute. She’s a killer.

The source was a cat lady of sorts. She found a couple of kittens outside her place and fed them, then a couple more turned up, and she ended up with four kittens that she took in along with the three cats she already had.

Under the auspices of some cat charity, the new owner paid $320 which includes shots and desexing, so not bad considering vet charges. The cat is a moggie, but the foster mother had an American cat which I can’t remember the name of that was a beast. It was more than twice the size of a normal cat, covered with heavy and spiky fur, eyes like lasers.

Tell you what, if that ever got out and bred, the stories of monster cats in the bush would become a reality.

The only thing that will drive India closer to China is the earth swallowing the Himalayas.
A prolonged conflict in the Ukraine is a threat to Putin because the last thing he needs is a an embarrassed military. In recent decades Russia’s military has been very run down. Generals like new toys. He needs to keep the military on his side so the West is happy to prolong this conflict(at the expense of Ukraine citizens!) because it paints the Russian military as incompetent and increases the possibility of Putin being ousted.

No. The sanctions, etc. send a message that if you’re a regional power that you are better off strategically to have parallel processing systems, markets, etc. that don’t hinge on US power. Russia and India have very good relations, and Russia and China are being brought closer together economically and strategically, because Russia has the resources that China needs and China has the large market that Russia now depends upon.

Also, the notion ‘the West’ is too glib now. Europe will not be happy to see the war prolonged at all. Russia will probably achieve its objectives in the next 2-6 weeks. Promoting guerilla fighting beyond that might be congenial to the US but is it really to Hungary, Poland, and Romania? Do you think that Azov units moving freely in Western Ukraine is not going to spill over into their territory? What of the proliferation of the sort of men attracted to this sort of warfare operating in this area, and so on. They will also have to deal with electorates faced with the spiraling cost of energy, food, etc. Sooner rather than later they will want to restore relations with Russia or at the very least arrive at a modus vivendi irrespective of US

Yup. There’s an awfully big chunk of the world that would like to get out from under the thumb of the US, or see them fall. Just look at the reaction in Serbia as an example. Like it or not, the US has screwed this up horribly, and we will be seeing the aftershocks for a long time.

Correct. Russia and India have strong relations that date back to the 1950s. Historically Russia and India were allied and Pakistan was allied with China. It was noticeable how India didn’t join in with the US, UK, Oz and other Western countries to try to censure Russia. Also, on the day Russian invaded Ukraine, Pakistan’s PM, Imran Khan, was in Moscow.

Her daughter is a stunner. The father is the loon in Law&Order Criminal Intent. Thank God she’s divorcing Sean Penn.

On Monday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “All In,” Sen. Jeff Merkley (D-OR) argued that in order to undermine Russia’s power, we have to “end our dependence on oil and have the world transition to renewable energy.” Because Russia will be able to sell oil as long as there’s demand for oil, and called for a “climate emergency.”Too stupid to surviveWhy is Oregon in particular so fucked?

there was encouragement (HR nonsense), but no mandates, direct requests or sanctions.

One son finished up at his company last Friday. Other son is in the process of losing his job. His company said last year that they would not mandate vaccines. Now they say they are not ‘mandating’ but ‘directing’. Don’t know what the diff is – job gone either way.

We have four extra folk living with us – 3 have lost their jobs as well. The war may be all the media talk about now, but it’s the jab – or lack thereof -that’s changing our lives.

Because nobody other than the (relatively) poor, homeless and uncultured live in Seattle or California. Or Portland, with its penchant for spontaneous self-combustion.

The most well-off live in the Pacific Northwest, with their Rocky Mountains, ostensibly pristine redwood forests, obscenely expensive nice property out in the country and quick escape routes into Canada or the more flyover-esque Montana or Idaho.

Heck, much of rural Oregon is done with rich leftwits ruining their State via their diktats from Portland, so want to join Idaho anyway…

“Why is Oregon in particular so fucked?”

Because, as Andy Ngo (who is a native son of Portland) argues, the problem is that the three west coast states, particularly Oregon and Washington, are by and large political monocultures. In cities like Seattle and Portland (and San Fran in California), there is no Republican voice, it’s wall to wall progressive far-left Demonrat. There is no opposition to them. Christopher Rufo, writing for City Journal, has chronicled the far-left infiltration of San Fran, Portland and Seattle and the appalling governance of those cities. The left run amok. They have control of City Hall, the police and the judiciary. When a conservative journalist like Andy Ngo is attacked in broad daylight in Portland, when a Christian prayer group in Portland tries to hold a rally and men, women and children are physically assaulted and verbally abused by Antifa scum in broad daylight, nobody is arrested and nobody is charged because the police and the DA aren’t interested in pursuing such crimes, they don’t suit their political narrative.

That’s why Oregon is fucked.

Biological sciences can not and have never dictated morality. That anyone accepts this as a premise simply demonstrates that they are inherently dishonest and evil.

“If the biological sciences reveal that there is no morally salient difference between a newborn and a fetus, that is, that they are almost at the same developmental stage, one must abolish the intuitively compelling idea that birth matters morally. It doesn’t.”

Arrogance married to stupidity.

George Kennan, one time American ambassador to the Soviet Union and author of Truman’s containment doctrine and probably the leading American authority on Russia in the 20th C., lived long enough to see the expansion of NATO eastward.

He called it “a strategic blunder of epic proportions”.

“We’re signing up nations we have no means or intention of defending”.

Henry Kissinger – not someone I normally have a lot of time for – said that if Ukraine became the site of a proxy conflict between West and East it would poison relations with Russia for decades.

And as if the war wasn’t bad enough some wheat importing countries may soon not be able to feed their populations due to rising prices.

Well played, neo-cons.

The only thing that will drive India closer to China is the earth swallowing the Himalayas.
A prolonged conflict in the Ukraine is a threat to Putin because the last thing he needs is a an embarrassed military. In recent decades Russia’s military has been very run down. Generals like new toys. He needs to keep the military on his side so the West is happy to prolong this conflict(at the expense of Ukraine citizens!) because it paints the Russian military as incompetent and increases the possibility of Putin being ousted.

No. The sanctions, etc. send a message that if you’re a regional power that you are better off strategically to have parallel processing systems, markets, etc. that don’t hinge on US power. Russia and India have very good relations, and Russia and China are being brought closer together economically and strategically, because Russia has the resources that China needs and China has the large market that Russia now depends upon.

Also, the notion ‘the West’ is too glib now. Europe will not be happy to see the war prolonged at all. Russia will probably achieve its objectives in the next 2-6 weeks. Promoting guerilla fighting beyond that might be congenial to the US but is it really to Hungary, Poland, and Romania? Do you think that Azov units moving freely in Western Ukraine is not going to spill over into their territory? What of the proliferation of the sort of men attracted to this sort of warfare operating in this area, and so on. They will also have to deal with electorates faced with the spiraling cost of energy, food, etc. Sooner rather than later they will want to restore relations with Russia or at the very least arrive at a modus vivendi irrespective of US interests.

Most nations military capacity is so weak they couldn’t invade an outdoor dunny so I don’t think they are worried about what has happened to Russia. In any event Russia is a special case. That NATO wanted Ukraine is evidence of a deep irrational hostility towards Russia. After the collapse of the USSR the USA and Europe should have reached out the hand of peace but instead has continued to regard Russia as a potent threat.

India has already cancelled purchases of Russian fighters. Last year India for the first time cancelled a bilateral meeting with Russia. The Russia-China alliance is most certainly not in India’s interests. India has recently purchased Rafale and Eagle fighters, which would not have pleased Russia. India has recently acquired a licence to build the latest version of the F16, the F21. India is a member of the QUAD, placing its alliance with Russia in a somewhat contradictory position. All that points to India slowly but surely reducing its reliance on Russia and strengthening its ties with the USA and Europe.

I think the former Soviet Bloc countries don’t mind seeing Russia embarrassed. The citizenry are probably holding “FU Russia” parties The Russian military hasn’t exactly covered itself in glory and Russia can’t afford to keep losing military equipment because it can barely sustain what it already has. Russia has a quandary because it if cuts off power supplies that will be a huge blow to its economy which is already pitiful. Europe doesn’t want a long war but it wants it to be long enough to impact on Russian military assets and damage Putin. There are protests in Russia and thousands have been arrested. How long can Putin continue to keep doing that? The oligarchs are suffering and will continue suffering until Putin is gone.

This is as much about hatred as it is about rational responses. Ukraine should have been subject to sanctions for the treatment in the eastern zones but has gotten off scot free. If Russia has chosen to occupy those areas I wouldn’t have a problem but obviously it intends much more than that. Neither country is innocent but invasions of this sort have a habit of creating more problems than they solve.
