Role of antioxidants and a nutrient rich diet in Alzheimer’s disease
Note paragraph 16 and
We can’t absorb large amount of C in any one dose so I advise people to spread out the dosages during the day because plasma values decline very quickly, mostly going into tissues. The brain really likes C and E. We don’t need supplements but we should be consuming vit c rich foods on a frequent basis. It’s water soluble so we need to keep up a steady intake.

World War 3 fears as Russia warns of ‘universal nuclear war’ if West defends Ukraine
Having unknown Russian colonels issuing threats on Russian breakfast TV is probably great for the domestic strongman image, bites into Western political uncertainty, and is somewhat deniable by the bloke at the top.
But this shite is also playing directly into the politics of defence spending in Europe and elsewhere.
In addition to tanking the prospects of the Russian energy export industry, it’s looking like the Poot’s Big Adventure has shot a series of long-term holes in Russian interests, irrespective of the military outcome in Ukraine.
• Bigger and better militaries for the NATO border countries;
• Nuclear disarmament as a Western political driver sidelined;
• Pressure to consider independent nuclear deterrence increased;
• Almost unlimited US spending on missile and space defence assured.
Possibly the world was a safer place imagining the Russian military would perform like 1944/45.
You are such a vile fool Knuckle Dragger-
Either admit you make shit up to keep on the good side of the bullshitting bullies or you just take the bullshitting word of the bullshitting bullies, because that was just a boring old rehash of the bullshitting bullies proven bullshit.
Now, you have claimed that you recently went home for a funeral, to what is also Pell’s home town.
If that’s true you should also know what sort of trouble you can get yourself into by having a good word to say for Pell, let alone defending him, face to face, with the very many hatefully deranged there.
Being a Cross wearing Catholic, on those occasions I have to visit that town, it’s rare that I don’t cop abuse from one or more of the largely VicPol & ABC emboldened swarms of Pell haters, for being on his side, from the get go.
Of course if you really cared about anyone but your own quivering skin, you’d use your past position to remind Pell haters how terribly victims were let down & abused by the Police, Govt Ministers & Reps & other non-religious authorities they went to for help, and ask them why they don’t actually go after those with the power & authority to have stopped the abusers but rather, also abused.
Or closer to what it was thought they could do in 1989.
NATO always planned in the full expectation it would get steamrolled by masses of Soviet Armour, with the expectation of inevitably having to use tactical nuclear weapons as the enemy offensives picked up steam and overran all defensive lines in Western Germany, Denmark and further towards the Channel.
Pharmaceuticals giant Moderna is set to build the southern hemisphere’s first mRNA vaccine manufacturing facility in Melbourne following a $2-billion, 10-year deal with the Australian and Victorian governments.

Well howabout that. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Member_states_of_NATO#/media/File:Location_NATO_2017_blue.svg
The three ex-Soviet Baltic states are members of NATO.
That means there are members of NATO that share a border with Russia: Latvia and Lithuania. Ukraine, if it joined, would not be the first.
So that imminent military alliance, in itself, surely cannot be the reason for Putin’s ~~war~~ Special Operation.
Still struggling with the Kremlinology on this one. Are we back to the “breadbasket of Europe” explanation for why Putin is doing all this? Or possibly it’s just the biolabs?

Umm, no.
My home town and Pell’s home town are vastly, vastly different home towns.
Try again if you like, although I note the insult that I was born in the Rat is not something to be sneezed at.
That’s nice.
But Struth’s grandstanding display for all you folks tonight was based on my response to a mendacious lie posed by people putting words in the mouth of a now-dead medical researcher, for the sole purpose of stirring up trouble and upsetting folks.
You can dump on me all you like because you’ve decided I’m spoiling somebody’s Narrative of resistance. I understand it’s cathartic. That’s why some of you uptick it. I am pleased to have provided all of you who did some cope to sustain yourselves in these miserable and turbulent times we’re universally stuck in.
But understand that Struth’s lies for effect tonight are based on yet more of exactly the same thing. Just another lie for effect.
And you stooges think you’ll somehow defeat the Left by engaging in their behaviour…
I’ll throw out a spot of folk wisdom in return-
“This too shall pass.”
– Ancient Jewish folktale
Crimea was too easy, he expected Ukraine to be easy. Even Trump recently commented that there is something different about Putin’s behavior and the way he looks. Others have made similiar remarks. Perhaps there is something to that but suggestion is a powerful thing. I don’t know what Putin hoped to gain out of all this except perhaps control of the Black Sea but there is little strategic value there. Perhaps Putin just felt like doing something military wise to consolidate his position in Russia and as a veiled threat to neighbouring nations lest they decided to become unfriendly towards Russia. The biolabs stuff is rubbish. One of the very first signs of dementia is poor risk assessment and loss of executive functions. Those behaviors are often present long before a formal diagnosis. There you go, I just played long distance neurologist. What a doofus am I.

European MP Calls Justin Trudeau a Dictator During Public Speech in Front of the Canadian Prime Minister
March 23, 2022 | Sundance | 239 Comments
This is just epic and well deserved. EU Parliament Member Mislav Kolakusic delivered a humiliating speech directly to Justin Trudeau as the Canadian Prime Minister visited the EU members. [h/t to CounterSignal for transcript] This is quite likely the first time Trudeau has ever been publicly called out in such a grand fashion.
MP Mislav Kolakusic lived in Croatia under soviet rule. Kolakusic saw the recent behavior of Trudeau as familiar to him from former soviet dictators. He took the opportunity of Trudeau appearing in the European Parliament to eviscerate him publicly. {Direct Rumble Link} WATCH:
https://rumble.com/vyaksl-mep-from-croatia-calls-trudeau-a-dictator.html
[Transcript] – “Freedom, the right to choose, the right to life, the right to health, the right to work for many of us are fundamental human rights for which millions of citizens of Europe and the world have laid down their lives,” Kolakusic began.
“…. Canada, once a symbol of the modern world, has become a symbol of civil rights violations under your quasi-liberal boot in recent months. We watched how you trample women with horses, how you block the bank accounts of single parents so that they can’t even pay their children’s education and medicine, that they can’t pay utilities, mortgages for their homes.”
“To you,” he continues, speaking to Trudeau, “these may be liberal methods; for many citizens of the world, it is a dictatorship of the worst kind. Rest assured that the citizens of the world, united, can stop any regime that wants to destroy the freedom of citizens, either by bombs or harmful pharmaceutical products.”

Morn all, not trying to sound ungrateful but who is advising Morrison. While I was in the nether regions without mobile service I note he was up here spreading largess around.
In Leichardt more money for Tourism the Qld & Fed Government killed with their COVID restrictions. Was in Cairns recently, the place is a sea of boarded up shops in the CBD. Damage is already done and it will take years to recover.
Money for Hells Gate Dam on the upper Burdekin for yet another feasibility study (About the third in 20 years) for already fattened consultancies and the worst option. Katter is dead right on this one, not only is the height too low halving the initially proposed capacity, from what I hear it will have the same problems as the Traverston Crossing dam being wide and shallow in an area with insane evaporation rates. My predictions, can kicked down the road yet again and the dam will never be built especially when the ALP gain power.
Then this thought from the nether regions turning the Carnarvon hwy/Developmental rd and Gregory Developmental rd into and alternate freight route, the expense to upgrade this road would be huge and the slovenly way infrastructure is completed in Aus will be a generation in the making (Oddly enough the evil Adani mine has already put more infrastructure in a remote area north of Clermont than imaginable in a little over 2-3 years).
One would think that maybe Herbert is a worry for them and they think they have a chance at Kennedy. We already know the odious Entsch is in trouble in Leichardt. Apparently Fat Bastard has been in the north stirring the pot about port access and reopening Yabulu to pump his tyres. Going to be interesting when the starters gun is finally fired.
That’s where my thinking was going. And a little episode at the garden gate when someone said to me, “I love you!”.
That was the truth too. 😀
You have proof of that truth.

“Incidentally that ADE sure is taking its sweet time.”
Indeed.
“Original Antigenic Sin” seems more likely given Stanford’s recent publication of negative efficiacy of the mRNA vaxes against Omicron and it’s sub-variants.
Given that Omicron and it’s sub-variants appear to be dominant, it would seem unwise at this time to get the original vax or a booster of same – mRNA or otherwise. Hopefully, most peoples immune systems will “forget” the immunity they “learnt” from the vax after about 6-24 months (as per cold and ‘flu virus’ – there’s only a handful of ‘flu virus’ and they “take turns” being the dominant strain) and things will simply go back to “normal”. That’s also assuming that the published “reverse transciptase” issue (actual changes to DNA of the subject from mRNA vax, so that it continues to produce the spike protien) is not wide-spread in the general population.
But we won’t know until the long term, high participant trials comes to a conclusion.
Calli, the council of Nicaea is the main reason I can’t accept that the Bible has any more truth in it than any other religious text. A bunch of blokes sitting around centuries after the events and deciding what to leave in and what to leave out, it just doesn’t work for me. I know some claim that they were ‘divinely inspired’ sure they were.
My youngest daughter got a huge compliment at the childcare centre where she’s doing a workplace apprenticeship.
The kids were jostling to sit next to her and she said they all couldn’t do that at once.
A little girl whispered “It’s because we all love you.”
That’s not what the Council did.
Councils are not divinely inspired.
Roger, then what did they do?
Madeleine Albright receiving generous tributes.
They all seem to focus on her sex, not her achievements, perhaps because they were mostly disastrous, including sanctions against the people of Iraq & the expansion of NATO eastwards.
Not notable among the tributes is that of Penny Wong. Evidently she’s forgotten Albright consigning women who don’t help other women to hell.

The 1st Council of Nicaea defined the nature of Christ as divine and human, based on the teaching of scripture and in opposition to the teaching of Arius that the Son was a created being. Hence the creed’s “God from God, light from light, true God from true God, begotten not made…”. It was Arius, not the fathers at Nicaea, who was trying to deny and delete parts of scripture.

I remember watching a us reality show where people traded places, in this episode it was Christian fundy and a Muslim.
Fundy was having a fireside chat with an iman who kindly explained that God couldn’t appear in the form of a man.
Good to know God has his limits.
Islam is probably just an heretical cult that just had to have a few points of difference with Christianity.
The Reyes Católicos certainly thought so, as reference to the defeat of those heretics is inscribed on their tomb.

I’m confused dot.
Doesn’t that mean that people who are vaxxed should generally have more severe symptoms of covid than the unvaxxed?
“Bourne1879 says:
March 24, 2022 at 10:28 pm
Any political leader or medical authority praising high Vax rates is really boasting about something acheived by threats to jobs and loss of freedoms.
Let the people make their own medical decisions and the percentage vaxxed would not be nowhere near as high as they are.
You know what statistic they never tell us ? How many have lost their jobs or retired early due to not wishing to comply. Likewise you rarely see deaths mentioned in conjunction with their average age (ie. 80 something) or the 2 + comorbidities.
I was recently shown a text message that did the rounds amongst Qld medical workers. It related to the number of teachers and teachers aides who had responded to the January Union survey about taking the Vax. It said the number was 20,000. No way of knowing if true and many may have subsequently given in. I know a relief teacher who has greatly benefitted from the teacher shortage in some schools. Naturally cost to Government for a relief is more than a regular teacher.
For the Qld Government health workers a figure of 4,000 has been mentioned. Some took early retirement and others being placed in non frontline positions like Telehealth.
Speedbox said “As pointed out endlessly on the Cat, governments should not equate percentage jabbed as equalling support””

It’s three weeks today that I broke my foot.
It was crushed and punctured by a large garden rock.
It’s still bleeding, still swollen from infection.
This should not have been the case but for the hospital staff shortage & overwork when it happened.
It was never even cleaned until I got to see my doctor 4 days later.
It should have been opened up, cleaned out & stitched up when it happened.
A vein was punctured and when the bandage the ambo* applied was removed hour later in the hospital, the blood again shot many inches into the air, all over the hospital.
A nurse bandaged it again & more hours later still, when a doctor first saw it, long bandaged, raised & not moved, it has stopped shooting blood but was still weepy. The doctor thought that fine.
The next day when I finally saw the doctor who’d seen the CT scan, I’d been left alone in room with no buzzer, no blanket, no food, no water, no pain killer for 9 hours, because in the whole of the Emergency treatment wing of a major hospital, there was only one nurse on duty.
I was sent home without antibiotics and it took me giving them 3 reminders to get the tetanus shot that such an injury called for.
That’s not all or the worst of.
There’s many more reason people say I should sue, but what struck me was that they couldn’t raise enough staff for a major regional hospital on a Friday when serious work, driving and ‘partying’ injuries are usually very high.
* The Ambos were great. Despite being run off their feet, their care & diagnostics was top notch.
It was only after being handed over to the hospital’s care that went to shit.

Mohammed was a religious dilettante who chose his beliefs like someone attending a smorgasbord.
John of Damascus, who mad ea study of Islam, maintained that an Arian monk was one of his teachers. Muslims are not, strictly speaking, Arians, but one can detect Arian influence in how they regard Jesus or Isa as the call him, which is entirely contradictory, in that they regard him as a prophet while denying everything significant that he claimed about himself!
Thanks Roger.
I’ve been off cleaning loos. Yay!
Yes, the Council of Nicea was a lively one, nipping heresy (extra stuff) in the bud.
I’m reading James this morning – the one Luther wanted out. Glad he repented and, for him, it went back “in”. Nothing like a bit of practical teaching about loving each other regardless of differences.
It could be confounded by any number of variables. Who are they vaccinating and how vulnerable were they? As for adverse effects, remember the poor bugger mole was helping out? It’s virtually mandated adverse events. Then you have the open corruption and incentives under the CARES Act in the US.
I will be very blunt. Most people in medical science are not stellar at statistical analysis. I also don’t trust most people willing to give an opinion on the matter.
Swedenborgians. Same stuff, with extra smorgasbord.
The Age published an interesting article today – or, at least, an article with some interesting data.
1 in 7 working Australians now works in Health Services. This raises the question:
Given the universally accepted parlours state of health services in Australia, what on earth are all these people doing? What is this vast public expenditure being diverted to?
The second interesting datum is that more Australians are now employed in “public administration” than in the manufacturing sector … and when they talk of public administration they are excluding the education and the health sectors. In essence there are more people employed to stop people doing what they want to do, or sticking their hands into peoples pockets to steal their earnings, than are involved in actually making things.
And people wonder why the country is in a death spiral.
Bullshitting bullying rocks I believe.
Looks like an ortho surgeon is about to cop a dose of ball lightning.
And that should say “parlous”. Damn proactive spell checking.
That should just read ‘every vaxxed person I know has had covid…’
Not everyone is on the Team Ukie Train.
Reasonable skill and care for a professional. Can you prove that wasn’t the level of care provided to you? Can you prove the hospital – as harsh as it seems – did not have higher priorities?
You cannot sue (in my opinion) if you think the hospital was understaffed. What duty of care is owed by the Health Service to you to have this staff level. Can you prove this is causally linked to your predicament?
Get legal advice but don’t assume you have actually have a case at all.
Add in some very convenient revelations that give the guy in charge extraordinary license for promiscuity and presto the perfect ‘religion’.
I remember that Canadian red head who converted to Islam was a enthusiastic proletizer for them, then reverted back to Christianity was extremely good at pulling apart M’s convenient revelations on who could have sex with whom.

Sfw – the Westminster Confession of 1646 and the 1689 Confession go into more detail, and have the source bible passages cited, which means it’s easier to go to the text of the Bible to check. They aren’t comprehensive but are a reasonable summary. See ch 2 para 3 in both documents.
I would say that the Nicene Creed wasn’t so much about what’s in/what’s out as an attempt to reduce misunderstanding in a time when the Bible had to be laboriously hand-copied and wasn’t very accessible to the people. Big fights were going on over the Arian controversy. The Creed is short enough to be fairly easily memorized, or copied out. I’m sure other Christians will disagree with me, and it’s been a while since I read anything about it, but disagreement is good!

Are you making formal diagnosis on people you have never met?
Or are you saying everyone in the world has now had covid?
Jeez Louise.
1 in 7 working Australians now works in Health Services.
It’s a big beast.

It’s a fair assumption that everyone not living in solitude has been in contact with Covid 19.
As I keep saying, it is possible it was globally endemic as far back as March 2019.
If that is true, its a disaster and goes a long way towards explaining the fall of Australia.
‘Service’ jobs of any kind are parasitic jobs because they don’t produce any of the things which are essential for life (food, shelter, transport, energy etc). As such, all such jobs can only exist if someone else is making those things for the person doing the service job. In other words, service jobs consume wealth, they dont make it. Consider that every time a politician announces another 200 nurses/paramedics/teachers have been recruited.
All very well Dot.
For the last two years several people have been adamant that Ruby Princess proves that most people don’t get covid.
Its a safe assumption that most have already had an infective dose exposure.
“I just want reduce the risk of getting covid pneumonia and needing half a dozen doctors giving me about every drug in their cabinet with an ambulance on standby at my front door.”
NOTE: I am NOT a doctor and this is NOT medical advise!
Sure, that is quite reasonable. If you get a “cold” (even a bad one) that is OK, but needing to go to hospital etc is clearly much worse, and that is what most people want to avoid.
I hope you are aware that the alpha and delta variants were considerably more lower respiratory tract infections (lung issues, coughing etc) where the omicron and similar variants that are becoming (if not already) dominant appear to be primarily upper tract infections (runny nose, sneezing etc)
This https://stevekirsch.substack.com/p/new-study-shows-vaccines-must-be?s=r has several links to studies in different countries re: higher risk of getting COVID variants after vax. There are other places you can find similar information.
This is hardly definitive, but it is certainly concerning.
This is also why it has been “standard practice” – pre-COVID at least – to avoid wide-spread vaccination during a pandemic. Unless the pathogen is “stable” in terms of antigen specificity (and COVID is clearly not), you are essentially “selecting” for variants that can evade any vax protection.
Worse, “original antigenic sin” means that your body will tend to produce antibodies to the original variant, which are less efficacious against the newer variants, so it will take longer to recover, and you may get more serious disease than you would if your immune system was “naive”. Fortunately, with new variants being more upper tract, that tends to mean a worse/longer “cold” rather than a hospital visit.
Better, in my view, to actually get a mild case of omicron, as the immunity you gain from that is not specific to a single protein (the “spike protein” of the alpha variant) like the vax gives, but also to 2 other proteins of the virus that are much less variable across variants. Thus you are much more likely to be protected from being reinfected with a different variant.
But – and I can’t stress this enough – talk to your doctor. You and they know much better than some GovCo weenie what your medical history and individual risk factors are, so the resulting advice should be better “tailored” to your individual circumstances and more likely to be effective for you. If the above info I posted is concerning to you, then you should ask your doctor about that too. If the answers you get do not satisfy you, there is nothing wrong with getting a second opinion. To my mind, simple dismissal as “conspiracy theory” where there are published papers in such august journals as the BMJ and NEJM warrant a second opinion, but that is of course up to you.
Maybe they couldn’t get COVID in 2020 because they already had it in 2019?
The Ruby Princess is a good “natural” experiment. You cannot discount it with rhetoric.
Natural immunity is at least 30% of the population. It might be a fair assumption that older people who are not invalid have *experienced* immune systems.
The Diamond Princess had less that 20% become ‘PCR positive’ after 5 weeks of exposure.

Interesting that you (someone who’s gone through many names yourself over the years), who’s always being attacked by JC with vile accusation (but under “pet names”), should feel compelled to say that to struth (who you all “pet” name), re: his reply to “rosie”.
The very well known (because she’s always here selling Govt Pro-Jab propaganda), “rosie”, changed her name from “notafan/Notafan” because under her old name she’d become well known for many reason’s she’d rather not, including being one of The Mob who applies insulting “pet” names to others but even worse, the cowardly act of “privately” In Public, bitching at individuals by not using any name at all.
So why do The Mob constantly use “pet” names to attack others?
Those they’re attacking know they are being attacked.
The regulars know who’s being attacked.
Ah, but newbies who drop by (potential New Numbers for The Govt side), only know the rest of the vile bullshit that gets nailed to the bullshit names of The Targeted Individuals.
By the time they do figure out who’s who, they’ve already had their impressions of The Targets tainted with a coordinated, steady stream of the same abusive BS.
Any personal & private good impressions they’ve formed of those posters are simply filed away under, “must have been mistaken“, because such is the Social Pressure of The Mob, even & especially on [Anti] Social Media.
The Govt “gifted” (“poisoned” in German), us with the World Wide Web of Deception for this very task and just as they’ve forced people to get Jabbed to work, they’ve forced people to, ‘get on [in] The Net’, to function in the modern world.
As obvious as that is, it’s still one of the things that draws the most savage attacks when you explain it, because staying under hypnosis/remaining brainwashed, requires that you not be snapped back into the real world while you’re believing the utter bollox the hypnotists are telling you to believe.
I kind of noticed that the variants seemed to have first appeared before the vaccines were developed or in countries with very low vaccination rates.
I thought it was just normal virus gotta virus.
Another day of mendacious trolling.

Luther was critical of James, calli – incorrectly, imv – but James was included in every edition of the Luther Bible, even though Luther continued to have reservations about its authenticity, as did some of the church fathers, btw.
What he said was it should be “out of this school”, i.e. the students at Wittenberg would be better spending their time on the Gospels and Paul.
It’s the sort of rhetoric Luther was inclined to but should not be taken too literally.

Go and see a doctor if you have an ongoing injury and you are unsatisfied with the treatment received from other health professionals.
This will also help any legal claim you have. You cannot give professional opinions as evidence in court.
I had to go and look up the backgtound:
Italy also failed to qualify for the 2018 World Cup after losing to Sweden in a two-legged playoff. Missing two straight World Cups is an unprecedented low point for the four-time champion, especially just months after winning Euro 2020.
And all this just after the country celebrated their first win for a long time in the Rugby 6 Nations, beating Wales 22-21 with a last minute long range try.
“Why should I talk to my doctor?
I’m not sick.”
If you are considering taking any medication (inc. a vaccine), or even going on a diet, or otherwise changing your lifestyle, then it would in my opinion be wise to consult your doctor before doing so. Any and all of these things can affect your health, and as I said your doctor knows your medical history better than anyone else and is qualified to provide you medical advice.
Since you seemed concerned about COVID…
At the end of the day, it is your body, your life and your choice, so do as you will. I am not trying to change your mind on anything, only trying to provide you with information on what may be pertinent to ask your doctor about – whether you actually ask them about such things is your choice. Some people just want “the answer”, others are more curious and perhaps “cautious” and so ask more questions. Nothing wrong with either approach, and if you fit into the former class then perhaps your doctor already knows this and will respond with his best opinion tailored to both your attitude to such things and your medical history. That is as it should be, and I would not be so bold as to suggest that they are wrong to do so.
the council of Nicaea is the main reason I can’t accept that the Bible has any more truth in it than any other religious text. A bunch of blokes sitting around centuries after the events and deciding what to leave in and what to leave out, it just doesn’t work for me.
If you believe in Divine guidance at all, why would you baulk at that?
And if you don’t believe in Divine guidance, then what exactly do you mean by a “religious text” containing truth?

On statistics.
It’s looking like the Trusted Blogger ‘negative efficacy’ and AIDS arguments are about to fall in a screaming heap.
The Great Denominator Debate about the UK* population – which gives the estimated number of unvaccinated Poms – is due to be settled shortly, when the 2021 Census results start to be published in May.
The Office of National Survey has released a preliminary result relating to vaccination rates in the working population:
This is significantly lower than the ~45% (3x jabbed) and ~25%(unjabbed) rates published in the UKHSA Vaccine Surveillance reporting, based on the NIMS population estimate.
If you carry the lower unjabbed population through the calculation of rates per 100,000 for infection, hospitalisation, and death, the apparent lower incidence of Covid infection amongst the unvaccinated vanishes.
As does the ‘evidence’ of negative efficacy.
This is preliminary, obviously, but a harbinger of a festival of statistical revision in six weeks time.
* More accurately, English and Welsh.
I’m not considering anything.
I’m interested in the many conflicting claims about the vaccines, as are many others.

It’s easy for the mobsters who’ll always have fellow mobsters to back up their BS, because the mob always out numbers the individual, as all good Commie/Socialist/Labor/Union/Cowards know.
Nice of you to also spit on Pell’s home town and all who grew there (like Pell), but then someone who had to run away from it to the other side of the country wouldn’t have warm feeling for the place, would they.

Putin is ultimately responsible for the Ukrainian war but Biden gave him the go-ahead with the reference to “a minor incursion”. Just as April Glaspie, US ambassador to Iraq, told Saddam that “we don’t have an opinion on Arab-Arab conflicts”. Saddam saw it as permission to go into Kuwait. God save us from diplomats and self-proclaimed smart people.
“I’m not considering anything.

I’m interested in such claims as well – hence my postings on the matter.
Perhaps we are at crossed purposes – not uncommon in such fora as this.
If so, then I apologise if I have come across in such a manner as I did not intend to do, or if I have mis-understood your intent and posts. My only excuse is that text based communications allow for such things to happen much more easily than an audio or face-to-face discussion.

That is how socialists win support – tell people all the stuff they are get when it is confiscated from someone else, letting them incorrectly construe that as meaning they will never have anything taken from them.
While there is severe inequality in socialist states, it is only a small group that live like kings. Far and away most people live equally drab, monotonous, ramshackle lives. Suddenly there is no one to take from and the end state is worse than when they were given nothing.
