Then as they start dying of the jab, we’d just turn around and say exactly what they’ve been saying to us, ……..we all had choices, we’re all adults, deal with it!
Stop complaining….so what, so you’re going to die, STFU, you’re annoying us.
You want us to join you in fighting the government just because they jabbed you to death….be fucked…I’m going on a holiday to Europe!

Google Ministry of Information Announces Zero Tolerance Policy Against Any Information That Does Not Support NATO War Against Russia
March 11, 2022 | sundance | 57 Comments
Comrade citizens, after success with the Ministry of Information controlling efforts surrounding the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic and public health vaccinations, The Division of Correct Thinking has announced they will also not tolerate any information against their war efforts in Ukraine.
[YouTube Twitter Announcements]
(SOURCE LINK) [at link below]
All good global citizens will appreciate the Ministry’s effort to protect you from bad Russian influences. Only the approved truth must remain visible to combat any Russian efforts to influence our thinking. The only horrors approved for review must be approved by the compliance division within the Google Ministry of Information.
Comrade citizens, as our experience with COVID and the heroic vaccination program has shown us, the Ministry always looks out for our physical and mental health. The inherent dangers of wrong thoughts could lead to misplaced sympathies, lack of necessary motivation and questions about the altruism within the Ministry for Peace. Further guidance continues….

Hour 3 of “ the wings are being gaffa taped back on the oldest Fokker in the fleet”.

You are absolutely right.
Now, I am off to troll the buskers and street preachers IRL. I kept on catching Sgt Bakers and Snook here (yuck).

St. Ruth, the night before last:
I’m beginning to think there might be quite a bit more oestrogen in St. Ruth’s makeup than he lets on.

Don’t forget those experts who brought you the gfc never went to jail (except Iceland)
Indeed most were saved with massive transfusions of government money.
Once you do that what’s the point of being the last honest politician in the late Roman Empire?
St Ruth – at the risk of sounding like a bit of a ratbag, do you really think that incessantly abusing certain personages that frequent this blogue is a productive use of your time?
I appreciate you’re less than gruntled about various hitlerist idiocies that have been inflicted on us over the last two years. I’m not exactly happy about it, either (as people here might have twigged).
All this existential angst can’t be good for your soul, man. Cheer up and give it a rest. Go and do some gardening, clobber some cane toads or something else that might help alleviate your frustration.
WHEN DO WE GET JUSTICE?
You already got it, from a .40 S&W Glock 22.
Hang on. Whoa.
Are all the vaxxed going to die in 13 to 43 months or not? Because that is exactly what you said St. Ruth. And there are an awful lot of people in this country (including far more Quenthlanders than not) who have had the jab.
And if the vaxxed are all dead and/or dying, why are they building long-term expensive investments like death camps for the unvaxxed? With gas pipes to the showers?
Who’s going to guard the camps? It can’t be the vaxxed, because they’ll be dead.
So the vaxxed will be dead, and the unvaxxed will also be dead in the death camps. And yet you said:
By your own words, it certainly sounds like it.

4. The bloke was brain damaged and treated like a stray dog.

Oh? Did Albanese say something recently? Who cares what he says?
Especially if the policy agenda is determined by the public service in collaboration with major corporate suppliers – regardless of which democracy codpiece “wins” the election.
I’m trying to be fair. The last time I can remember a federal election deciding what actually happened on an issue of importance was in 2013 when Abbott cancelled the carbon tax (and kept in place the RET established by Howard). So it’s one issue in every 3 elections, that’s how much democracy we have? Can we quantify it any better?
If that’s the guy I saw, he was doing okay till he said the police shouldn’t have taken guns and it should have been one on one.
Reading the internets on da war. On the ground in Ukraine everything still looks very bogged down. Mud, mud, more mud. Whatever you think of the just cause or otherwise of either side nothing decisive is happening. Lots of Russian vehicles are being knocked off because they have to stay on the roads due to mud. Syrians are flocking to both sides. Oh joy.
The most interesting thing I’ve read is that something like 80,000 Ukrainians were working on ships as merchant sailors. Many of them on Russian ships. Which could cause quite a bit of pain if the shipping lines and authorities don’t handle it right.

Dot mentioned calumny and heads rolling earlier today, in respect of the Rolfe shitfest.
As Churchill said – this is not the end, nor the beginning of the end. It is the end of the beginning. The aftershocks from this will last for years. There is extremely widespread sentiment amongst the punters that this was a politically driven murder beef, which spells disaster postponed rather than cancelled for Chief Minister Gunner.
The piece in the Oz about the senior NT detectives jacking up at a murder charge laid within four days, and without a single statement from any of the multiple witnesses being taken is – from speaking to people – accurate.
The DPP have to agree to lay a charge of this type. There is zero doubt the head of the DPP and his deputy – of whom both resigned in disgust afterwards – were leaned on heavily by Gunner through his AG.
Murder charges in the NT have to be signed off on by a Superintendent in charge of their prosecutions. The Superintendent whose job it was to sign off on the charge had been around for quite some time, and also just happened to be admitted to the Bar. He refused to do it – not because in his view there wasn’t enough evidence to support such a charge, but because in his view there was no evidence to do that.
He (apparently) said he wouldn’t do it, and if the NT jacks’ top rung weren’t happy with that to get someone else. So they did.
Rumour is that there are quite a few people who nailed their colours to the mast in order to curry favour with the Commish, and whose collective ring gear at present are going five cent-fifty cent.
One Deputy Commissioner, two Assistant Commissioners (one promoted to that rank for his support) and various hangers on who are all on contract. The armchair defence ‘expert witness’ Barram and the stupid bint nominally in charge at Yuendumu at the time will (allegedly) never be spoken to by any other copper and are said to be unwelcome in any police station anywhere.
Oh, it’s probably broader than that.
And he walked.
Imagine the hysteria if he’d stopped after firing the first shot, then yelled into the 2-way:
EGGPLANT DOWN, repeat EGGPLANT DOWN.
His career [and life] would now be over.

Since you’re such a brain DickEd, when someone attacks you say thankyou I needed that. Never ever call the cops for anything. As far as I’m concerned Rolfe did a public service.

Unvaxxed third world immigrants are going to guard unvaxxed camp inmates?
I prefer to flip that over. Why are people choosing to remain in such a hopeless situation? The WA govt was on a hiding to nothing with the proposal because the approach was wrong headed. Incentives should be provided for people to move away. I suspect there is significant pressure on the youngin’s to get their schooling but always return. Forget about the adults, most of them are a lost cause but if we can find a way to encourage those approaching 18 to relocate that is the only way this ridiculous remote communities policy will be solved.
Why is fine & dandy to keep selling Jabs (even feverishly so after yet more evidence about the dangers of them comes to light), but somehow it’s the worst of all things to remind people that those who knew from the get go how dangerous the Jabs can be, are still lying people into continuing to take them, and paying their armies of ‘Social Influencers’ to also continue the push.
Thanks to all media controls, there are still very many people who don’t know about the very real dangers (too long to list here), that the original pushers knew from the start, before they contracted Govts around the world to force them onto people.
Surely it’s only just to keep sharing the warnings until they’re understood as well as the propaganda to take them was accepted as smart.

The media seems to be on the prosecution side, despite the not guilty verdict.
Seems to be, but isn’t.
Most coverage I have seen emphasises the emotion and anger from the victim’s indigenous community,
It’s being stage managed to portray aboriginal people in a poor light.
Selected mouthpieces, told what to say and what’s not in the script, by their Minders.
Still nothing to say about the “background” that (in your opinion) excuses the high rate of DV in indigenous communities? Talk big, but nothing under the hat?

Yeah working for DFAT is tough. I mean moving residencies and having to pack and unpack your souvenir statues of Buddha. A career bureaucrat becomes a politician. Of course he is very concerned about climate change, of course.
I’d be more impressed if he’d spent a few years on a building site mixing cement.
Lotocoti the armoured column from the NE got the shit shot out of it. Abundant videos around. Pentagon briefings say that (Lamothe is WaPo in the Pentagon loop). That column was stopped in its tracks. Their doctrine on an ambush attack really sucks (compare with the 2/6 Independent Company at Kaiapit in PNG who I read about some days ago, aggressive attack and an amazing firefight). I don’t know about the column from the west, my impression the terrain was worse. I’m not seeing anything much notable from that side and the logistics look fairly precarious.
Yes the Russians are encircling Kiev very slowly. Still not completed. But they don’t even have enough forces to maintain a siege of a city that big let alone assault the place. I suspect the RGS are in a holding action on Kiev while pushing as best as possible on the coast, particularly Mariupol. That town is still holding out, but if it falls (as seems very likely) it completes a connected territory from just east of Odessa all the way to the Russian border in the NE. Plus links up Crimea. That I think is going to be the negotiating position from the Russian side. Doubtful if the Ukrainians will agree, it may just degenerate to a bloody frozen conflict.
“In dealing with climate change you have to get emissions down … dealing with climate change is about resilience and adaptation as well,” Mr Morrison said.
Yeah right. After 91 floods in 150 years the floods in Lismore are caused by climate change this time. Totally.

Haha. Busted arse countries are where you put them if you are a Fauci sort of guy. See “Wuhan, PRC”, for example.
As I posted on Dover’s thread it was the same with the round-up of ferals after 9/11. They were routed through black CIA sites in busted arse countries, staffed by appropriate contractors. The whole waterboarding thing was hilarious since the real 3rd degree took place in the transit countries. I think Ukraine from memory, certainly Egypt. Absolutely no surprise to me that Ukraine might be a location for such grey wet-work, especially re the Hunter Biden grift.
Why Russia can’t take the skies over Ukraine
From my reading of Ian Plimer. Australia is already net-zero, negative in fact.
(1) CO2 removed by forests, grasslands, crops on farms and the waters around our coastlines. (2) Emissions from industry and domestic purposes. (1) is estimated more than double (2).

But for some reason the long & filthy history the US investment in dodgy biolabs around the world seems to scare most off.

Damn it all. There’s no winning BJ. There I was thinking of a viable strategy and in one fell swoop you vanquished what slim hopes I entertained.
Again the last Liberal Government of Western Australia proposed encouraging those who were approaching 18 to relocate, and, yes, that’s exactly what happened. There were two cases of those who had relocated, done well, yielded to pressure to return to their Third World shitholes. Both were abused and took their own lives as a result.
The main reason why the Russians have yet to crush Mariupol is that the UAF is keeping thousands of civilians penned inside as shields. The Russians could flatten the place from land sea and air in a day but will not because they are desperate to avoid footage of miles of dead civilians. Fair enough . It’s certainly not the “brave” neo nazi resistance there holding back the tide. It’s a similar situation in Kiev where the Russians are putting the squeeze on slowly , taking suburb by suburb. And yes, copping a flogging here and there for their reduced mobility. The Ukrainians are gagging for more atrocity footage to show the world, in the hope that they can finally get NATO involved and ramp up their propaganda to eleventy plus plus.
From what I can discern on the daily map changes, the Russians already have this wrapped up. It’s the mopping up stages now and making sure Zhelensky doesn’t get gifted more propaganda to excite the braindead and gullible. Of which there are millions. For Zhelensky, he’ll be stalling as long as he can to get his grubby hands on some of the $13.6 Billion coming his way.

Yesterday I posted in relation to the cost of fuel here on the Mid North Coast, this morning I had to do a trip to town for a visit to Bunnings and other essentials. Decided to fill up before another increase in prices.

Horses use fuel even when you aren’t using them.
Makka – That could well be so. What was blackly amusing was the humanitarian corridors they were negotiating on – all of them went from Mariupol to Russian territory. Which is why the Ukrainians rejected them. Human shields to human hostages!
Both sides are fruity. I am commenting on the tactical situation, I’m not in favour of either side. How they both get out of this mess I don’t know, but it certainly is a mess. Very like Syria with bogged down racial and religious cantons that hate each other, plus larger powers who see advantage in maintaining the mess. The people stuck in the middle of it are the victims, on all sides (and I include the poor Russian conscripts who never wanted to do what they now are forced to do.)

He does neat map graphics and seems fairly wonkish and neutral. The general flavour is no different from the ISW maps or other ones in the MSM the last several days.
The Russians are trying keenly to get the Belarussians to come in, which would be a significant reinforcement. So far it looks like Lukashenko wants that to happen but his general staff are finding all sorts of excuses not to. Which is pretty wise on their part. Given the readiness level of the Belarus Army I doubt they’d do particularly well, and being conscripts won’t be especially keen.

Analysis: The six-minute-and-33-second statement that should cost the Police Commissioner his job
by David Wood |
Mar 12, 2022
There were some important words Police Commissioner Jamie Chalker did not say in his press conference – which he walked away from without taking questions – after the verdict in the Constable Zach Rolfe murder trial yesterday that rendered his statement meaningless.
Some of those words were: Zach Rolfe; Kumanjayi Walker; police shooting; murder trial; died; Yuendumu; Aboriginal community; not guilty.
If you did not know what the presser was about going in, you would have finished the bizarre six minutes, 33 seconds, knowing even less.
And wondering who the man/robot impersonating a police commissioner was, as he rambled on about unrelated deaths – which even then he couldn’t call deaths, but rather ‘critical incidents’ – and why journalists were listening to him?
Or why it appeared he had undergone an empathy-adectamy.
But to be fair, he wasn’t the only leader who was missing those keywords in response to the not guilty verdict today.
Although Chief Minister Michael Gunner’s emailed statement did manage to include the words “dead” and “Yuendumu community”, Chalker missed it.

Just been cold called by a staffer(?) of the ALP candidate for Hunter (where Joel has retired from).

Never had that before. The ALP must be worried, clearly chucking money at us if they have guys ringing up individual voters.

That was Chalker speaking to the press. An extremely predictable sentence, washing his hands of the matter. Or so he thinks.

One thing at least I have learned in parenting – BACK OFF.
Or your children will do that for you by moving as far as they can from you. Or not visiting, or denying access to grandchildren, or all manner of things.
My parents had the sense to do that with me, and we have never had a fracture in the relationship. And, I’m proud to say that it’s the same with my own kids.
Also, I couldn’t kick any of their backsides. They are all way too tall and I’d hurt myself.
The inability to influence his own family has clearly resulted in a rage out against the entire country.
Naturally, someone else is to blame for this.

For all of you southerners lauding how wonderful it will be to have Jacinta Price in parliament, I ask – for whom?
She will be the third aboriginal woman senator for the NT and the fourth aboriginal woman federal representative. The NT has just two senate quotas, Malandirri McCarthy holding one. Veterinarian Sam McMahon the dis endorsed current conservative Senator (who also has aboriginal forebears – but she chooses not to make a thing of it) successfully lobbied with Malandirri for the NT to not lose its second quota due to a fall in population.
With ALP’s Marion Scrymgour to be elected in Lingiari, we will have our fourth aboriginal lady NT representative, and she is a very able politician, previously having held Ministerial portfolios in the NT ALP Government before this one.
It might surprise some to know that aboriginal NT is not just a population of unemployed people on communities, in fact I would hazard they are the smaller part of the indigenous population with the majority of aboriginal people in employment of some sort, and at every level, not just park rangers, but doctors (my gynae), nurses, grader drivers, clerks, tradies, all walks.
It suits the aboriginal industry to keep the communities because that is the road to the river of gold and free money. So they will never, ever be fixed up, so long as there is money available and white man’s guilt to sign the cheque.
All of it ties back to communities (ghettoes) and nothing will improve until people realise this. It is the existence of the communities themselves that enable this and their legacy is bashed and raped kids and women.
In fact, the communities all need to be shut down and people move to town – it will be hell for a few years but eventually education and jobs will win out.
Apart from the sorry communities, the NT is also made up of a variety of business and industry, and all of us need able conservative representation at the federal level. I have great respect for Malandirri and Marion, who are ALP, but I want a strong knowledgeable conservative business and industry voice too and I dont believe Jacinta has that.
So excuse my cynicism but how exactly Jacinta will make it better for all Territorians? Or will she prove to be a one trick pony?
Only time will prove me right, (or wrong) but I am concerned Jacinta might prove to be just a black Rosie Batty.
In fairness to Abbott, he did try to end the RET but Big Clive didn’t support him.

Gambling addicts are in many ways worse that alcohol, heroin & crack addicts in that they don’t carry the physical ‘tells’ of the other addicts and even put a lot into presenting as clean & successful in order to scam their way into raising more stakes from the unsuspecting.
Why anyone thinks it smart to take advice from gamblers online is beyond me.
They will literally rob their parents & sell their children to raise the money for another bet, on anything.”
______________
This is braindead, knock it the fuck off.
Your parents made a gamble in coming to Australia, as did my paternal grandparents.
Dad’s family could have ended up in…Namibia!’
____________________________________
I don’t know about “braindead” but your intense over-reaction to a topic that also made you desperate to re-write what was said in order to attack someone for warning of the dangers of Gambling Addiction, could at best be thought of as a ‘brain spasm’, and at worse, well it obviously doesn’t matter to you what I actually think or say, so …
Anyway, sorting my settings on my phone banking, their list of, ‘what about’s before you go’, included setting daily withdrawal limits.
This, along with some cat’s obsession with turning everything into a bet, started a conversation about Gambling ADDICTS we know and how much they’re targeted online to sell literally anything, and the wrongs they do even their nearest & dearest to keep feeding their addiction.
Banks automatically have such options because of how massive the Gambling Addiction problem is and online is one of the worst places for them and their victims because the dehumanising detachment and instant gratification make it so much easier for them to sink so low as to even sell poisons to babies if it keeps their gambling stake money rolling in and prevents their trauma of not being able to feed their addiction.
Fuck off, SRR.
If a Cat calling out a troll’s ongoing bullshit about how everyone is going to die except him (in the total DeAtH CaMp that is Australia now, no less) by daring them to put their money where their keyboard is offends and upsets you to the point of wordwalling yourself, perhaps it might be a good idea to take a little holiday from endlessly spamposting for Vlad Bae…
Do you think the CLP guy has any chance? Marion is a Tiwi islander, who mightn’t be popular in Central Australia.
I’m in two minds about Jacinta. She’s very much a ‘one issue’ candidate. I would have voted for her if she’d stood again for Lingiari, but I liked what I saw of Sam McMahon and was annoyed when they dumped her for Jacinta.
At the end of the day, it’s about who gets my second last preference and who gets my third last (obviously last is always reserved for the Greens).
Yeah!
And that’s not at all ‘Bosi-esque’.
‘Cause ‘They’ said it!
🙂
It’s a beautiful part of the world. We stayed at a National Parks hostel on the Land Between the Lakes just southwest of Paducah. The town itself is lovely and was all decked out for the NQA show, including cows (fibreglass) wearing quilts in the main streets, and every shop front and balcony featuring quilts. (Braidwood does the same thing each year). There are still a few antebellum houses there to look at too.
The lack of graffiti on the murals was interesting. I don’t know what the place will look like 12 years later,with the depredations of BLM and other nihilistic groups.
southeast of Paducah. Southwest would place me in “Clinton” – wouldn’t feel safe at all.
If you recall, Mayfield a few miles south was flattened in a tornado last year with many lives lost.

Still no word on the “background” issues that excuse (in your opinion) the high rate of DV in indigenous communities? It’s almost as if you came up with a smart arse comment, without expecting to have to justify it.

Well, he does talk a lot about boy bottom sex and mano-mano fellatio, so ….
He also talks a lot about denialists.
More importantly, Sanchez.. do you know if Struth did his Saturday bread deliveries because Baker’s Delight is complaining about lack of reliable drivers in regional Queersland.
And interestingly, in my previously Blue Ribbon State Liberal seat (always held by the Libs since its creation in 1969). the sitting member, Josh Teague (the one who sent SAPOL round to ‘ask’ me to be more careful about my COVID emails) has preferenced the GREENS second!!
His ticket is Liberal – Greens – Labor – Family First – Nationals.
My word from those in the know is that he KNOWS he is done, partly due to the freedom friendly minors, and this is a fuck you to them.
Personally, I will find it delicious to see my nemesis go from First Term MP – Attorney General – Speaker – smear on the bowl, in a single term :), and that will be his career over. We all know Labor is winning the next election here in SA. Hopefully with an obstructive ‘freedom friendly’ Senate.
It was self defence, you malignant fuck knuckle.

Josh Teague was interviewed by the ACL, his answers to their questions were pretty evasive, I liked the last question.
“How would you like to be remembered as a parliamentarian?
I would like to be remembered, as a person as well as a parliamentarian, as a man of love and integrity, a good listener, and an effective advocate, full of hope.”
His preferences show that he is as hard left as anyone can be, what happened to the Libs, nearly all of them are soaking wet lefties and expect (and get) that their base will always support them.
WHEN DO WE GET JUSTICE?

Fifty bucks says not all rrsrsrs’ dogs are barking.
Helen, when I heard Marion had been preselected I knew the race was already run. As you know Linigiari covers most of the geographic area of the NT and Marion will be known in the northern part of that. Now there have been further developments which make it more, rather than less likely Marion will win. Yes Marion is a Tiwi through her Mum, but her Dad came from Central Australia, I suspect because half caste and sent to school but I could be wrong. In any case there are Central Australian connections.
When Bess (Jacinta’s mum) won her NT seat, it was a hard road, as there were on going family feuds being conducted (the Warlpiri are a war like mob) with the result those aggrieved against her family would not vote for her. Marion will not have any of that humbug.
Marion will have the sitting retiring member to introduce her and recommend her and endless feet on the ground to man booths.
CLP will find this hard to do, given their shrinking membership, even if they are allowed to contest, as with Sam going independent after horrendous treatment in CLP to the effect she felt threatened and unsafe, the CLP, having no federal members, now have to prove membership to be recognised as a legitimate federal party by the AEC.
Marion ‘s opponent may well have to run as an independent due to the AEC thing.
As a previous ALP Education Minister, ( also acting Chief Minster and Deputy Chief Minister), Marion may still be recognised in the southern Areas, although this may also go against her – as Education Minister she directed that all children on community must learn in English until lunchtime and language (or what passes for language) to be optional after lunch. Naturally she was shot down and after several weeks had to reverse course due to the learned murmurs that it was racist and kids did better learning in language and those NAPLAN results were rubbish, of course kids would be able to find jobs later not being able to speak English. Oops, that might just have been me that last bit.
More recently Marion has been CEO of the Northern Land Council and that will likely aid her in the indigenous vote.
Aboriginal communities often vote ALP because as one gentleman told me when asked why that person did not vote for Bess (reading body language) “We didn’t know we had a choice” (not to vote ALP)
Marion has held many positions in health etc, so her recognition will be broad and broadly positive.
Personally I think she is pulled in different directions as to indigenous (community) people, education, work and everything. For instance, she has some utopian ideal that meaningful education and work can be had on community, against her own lived experience having been born and educated in Darwin.
She was also strongly opposed to the intervention (which also lost Clare Martin her job, sitting on the Little Children report for so long.) I have no idea what her thoughts on that are in hindsight given the level of pain and suffering it exposed, but her opposition may tie in with her utopian ideal.
Who knows and Helen I apologise for drifting so far away from your question, but yes, failing death or disability, Marion will win.
No, you really, really, really, really, really want to talk to them as a lifelong rock ribbed ALP voter.
Don’t get angry, lie.
What the public wants:
More gay festivals.
More COVID testing.
More money for safe schools.
More money for big ticket public art and public purchases of art.
More people to lose their jobs over health mandates.

Recognition of furries and MAPs as a legal status.
A full air, sea and land commitment to fight Russia – three army divisions, all fighter squadrons and all frigates and subs in the Black Sea or invading from Poland.
Go back into Afghanistan to defeat the Taliban after that.
A massive commitment to QE and fiscal stimulus to get the economy going.
A republic, with the President chosen by the National Cabinet.
Compulsory consent courses in school, high school, trade school, university and work.
Clamping down on unsafe industries such as Uber, crypto, wineries, pop up food shops etc with more occupational licensing.
Investigate if big employers like BHP, Rio, Atlassian, FMG need to be split up as they are not fulfilling social obligations.
No coal, oil or mining – OR forestry and fishing by 2050.
All new housing MUST be medium density, boomers owning all the land makes housing unaffordable.
A licensing system for farmers, Bachelor’s degree required.
Import substitution – we want 1984 XE Falcons and VK Commodores, not queer European and Japanese cars.
Ban home schooling and all private gun ownership.
Ban all contact sports, judo, boxing, rugby league etc.
Ban all those who don’t sign up the COVID vaccines and digital ID from any legal commerce.
Immediate doubling of all traffic fines.

Thanks for the very comprehensive response.
I’m not a very social person and it’s hard to find NT specific stuff on line. It’s great to have people like you here at the Cat who can provide background.
Err, .40S&W is the calibre of a Glock 22.
Is it Kelly Beaver? That’s only my first guess.
The Glock 40 is chambered in 10 mm auto.
The Glock 44 is chambered in .22LR.
The Glock 22 is chambered in .40 S&W.
?
Market research consultancy Ipsos in February surveyed 20,524 adults across 30 countries, including Australia
Here is the website for a laugh. Ms Beaver knows her stuff. Great questions “gender inequality doesn’t really exist” really really – I wonder how they translated that into Arabic, Urdu, Pashtun… Actually it reflects the level of ‘research’ of the PhDs nowadays. Ask lots of opinions-> statistics software-> hard percentages 14%-> TRUTH.
nearly all of them are soaking wet lefties and expect (and get) that their base will always support them.
What they don’t get is that the nose-pegged voters who supported them (with growing reservations) in past elections represent the few winning points that put them over the top. Maybe wrong, but the impression I’m getting is that they are going walkabout.
Or think about this way: When tens of thousands turned out to protest lockdowns, no Liberals of note joined them. Indeed, as Scumbag Dan went to town with measures his Chinese patrons must have recommended, police opened fire on their fellow citizens and capricious malevolence manifested itself in travel limits, curfews and mandates, the federal Coalition backed Dan the Filth all the way.
Now distribute those protesters and their disenchantment amongst Victoria’s 22 federal seats. In the close-run seats those will be dearly missed votes.
The ‘conservative’ platform:
* $3.3 billion for Their ABC
* The Net Zero pledge
* Pre-convicting Brittany Higgins’ supposed attacker.
* Saying nothing about the Pell tragedy
* Underwriting every act of self-harm by the premiers
* Believing nitwits like Stuart Robert are worthwhile candidates
Karma coming up fast.

Wish I were still in Heysen so I could send him (another) crabby email, but we’re now in Hammond with Adrian Pederick as our rep. I think his is a blue ribbon seat, too, but even so he’s been door-knocking, facing the electors and inviting questions. That’s quite impressive these days.
Even so, Labor Lite will not get my vote.

White House Briefing Tik Tok Battalion To Advance NATO War Effort in Ukraine
March 11, 2022 | sundance | 322 Comments
If you remember this very important quote from two weeks ago, what follows will make a lot more sense:
…”Strategic success in the 21st century is not about a physical land grab of territory; that’s what Putin has done. In this century, strategic power is increasingly measured and exercised by economic strength, by technological sophistication and your story – who you are, what your values are; can you attract ideas and talent and goodwill? And on each of those measures, this will be a failure for Russia.”
~ Deputy National Security Advisor Daleep Singh
White House Deputy National Security Advisor Daleep Singh boiled down geopolitical power to a cultural issue of social likeability. This is genuinely what the people running the Biden administration believe.
Everyone in the Biden administration is, after all, spawned in the petri-dish of community activism. When they successfully installed Barack Obama, the premise of their strategy proved accurate. Within this political and cultural strategy, pop icons are used as influencers and policy ambassadors.
This report today from the Washington Post is directly aligned:
(Washington Post) – On Thursday afternoon, 30 top TikTok stars gathered on a Zoom call to receive key information about the war unfolding in Ukraine. National Security Council staffers and White House press secretary Jen Psaki briefed the influencers about the United States’ strategic goals in the region and answered questions on distributing aid to Ukrainians, working with NATO and how the United States would react to a Russian use of nuclear weapons.

It is very easy to snark or ridicule this approach from the position of being an intelligent adult in a world of childishness. However, we dismiss it at our own peril.

2.
The CFMEU is already running Queensland, why would you vote for it to run Australia
3. Queenslanders fucking hate Albanese
4. Labor lying over employment prospects for Miners after they shut the Coal Industry.
In Victoria, workers have seen how a Labor Government treats them, why vote it into Canberra?
Plus, the Labor Leadership is now from New South Wales.

I befriend my magpie family. Haven’t sprayed the lawn for years. They flock when I’m lawnmowing and their strong long beaks gobble up the grubs.
Earlier St Ruth was bemoaning (nobody does it better) that I hadn’t had a crack at Dot for not just getting a job, whereas I was suggesting St Ruth should get off his fat arse and get a job.
Let me “please essplain”.
St Ruth claimed to be at the world epicentre of the ReSIstaNce in rural Queensssland, where less than 40% (probably less than 30%) had the jab. There was a yuuuge underground movement of tacit ‘wink-nod’ push-back against TyRaNny by The People, and St Ruth was at the forefront of the revolution.
Why are rural Queensssland employers freezing St Ruth out of a job?
Given that rural Queensssland hasn’t seen any perceptible dip in employment there must be vast numbers of unvaxed people in work, right?
I mean, at least 60% of them are unvaxxed (cough) “pureblood” resistance fighters so we are told.
The thing is, Dot has made no such claims to being part of a vast underground movement which is thumbing it’s nose at authority.
Delusions of vital self-importance much, Faulty 2.0?
History Rhyming, Biden Administration Constructs Familiar War Plan Using Qatar as Long-Term Mechanism to Fund Protracted War in Ukraine
March 11, 2022 | sundance | 299 Comments
Mark Twain was reported to have said, “History may not always repeat, but it rhymes.” With the Obama foreign policy team back together again in the White House, we are watching Twain’s truism play out in real time.
Yesterday, the Biden administration specifically designated Qatar as a major non-NATO ally {LINK}.
[Image of Statement & link at link below]
The purpose of this designation is brutally obvious. The United States is putting Qatar back into the business of brokering arms sales from the U.S. government into Ukraine. Following the geopolitical intervention models previously used in Egypt, Libya and Syria by President Obama and Hillary Clinton, Joe Biden and Antony Blinken are now repeating the process toward Ukraine.
In many ways this should not be a surprise. Qatar is the financial hub and support network for the Muslim Brotherhood. Qatar is also the arms broker for covert military operations when the U.S. does not want visible fingerprints.
By making this designation now, the Biden administration is setting up the groundwork for a long-term proxy war between the U.S/NATO and Russia in Ukraine.
[…]
In the United States – Democrats, Republicans, Wall Street, Big Tech and the multinational corporations are always aligned in a pro proxy war stance. This is why Big Tech announced yesterday it is okay right now to support Nazis in Ukraine and violence against Russians.

A few weeks ago my lawn was coming out in huge clumps like someone after a heavy duty dose of chemo.

No invading army engaged in combat on the vast endless steppes has ever experienced this phenomenon, ever.
Except when they have. The truly absurd aspect is that it’s the Rooshans now experiencing it, having allegedly launched their own “ground offensive”.
Everything about this current contretemps in Eastern Europe makes no sense at all. I’m not even bothered trying to make sense of it either. “Cheap Chinese Tyres” – seriously? 😕
Hence my absence from various debates and threads covering it. It’s a case of keeping the trap shut and looking somewhat benign, as opposed to opening it and revealing the “vast lack of knowledge”.
I never thought I’d see the day.
Not if St Ruth’s stormtroopers go looking for me where he thinks I live.

Try Fortune 500. Works for me.

Approaching peak hot cross bun season too.
Buns are go.
Mission critical.
Amongst all the rubbish which is occurring these days, censorship in the West is a major worry. If you look back to 1941 when the USA joined the allies in WWII, there was an outcry about Hitler’s Mein Kampf being on sale in bookshops around the USA.
The government declined to ban it due to freedom of speech, and also as it let the American’s understand the demented mind of its author.
Now we have social media banning any thoughts and opinions from people not 100% beholden to the official narrative. That’s disturbing and quite strange as the USA isn’t even involved (directly) in that conflict.
Thanks Squire, I knew there was a word.
Thanks Hugh.

Along with the mentioned (alleged) (non) vax rates, this will precipitate the Mother of All Wordwalls.
From benefit recipients to Australian soldiers who served in Afghanistan, this government has a history of discarding the rule of law when it suited them politically.
Then, as soon as one of their own – Porter – got prejudged by the media, Morrison suddenly discovered the presumption of innocence.
I detest the man and his government.
Good points Helen, those remote communities would be very depressing and dangerous places to live. Rather than just close them down would it be possible for individual families to be assisted to relocate to the towns and cities where there are opportunities to better yourself.
I’m not talking about creating another government bureaucracy, more along the lines of well-minded community groups like Rotary and church groups offering mentorship for young families to help find accommodation, employment, help with education, etc.

Those who are intentionally deceptive, manipulative, and destructive have seemingly endless supplies of initiative and strength for implementing their ideas…(it’s a nasty characteristic that is seldom anticipated by those who live with straightforward thinking and planning).
Dealing with such people is exhausting, unless and until we realize that we cannot out-deceive, out-manipulate, and out-destroy them. Having realized that, we then have the option of refusing to continue our participation in the game on their terms.
We may leave the field (which is not always a wrong or cowardly decision) and/or we may find some niche where our resistance is effective even though it’s low profile….a place where we live according to our strength, our opportunities, and our skills.”

No, but if you have an old toothbrush and a bar of soap, dishwashing liquid or even a splash of detergent, you can spot-clean the area without having to re-launder the lot. If you can reaonsably grip and rub the fabric against itself once the spot is soaped and watered, you don’t even need the
