I note the gravitation from ‘The New World Order are putting tiny self-aware robots in vaccines’ (that line of commentary, by the way, had died out – why is that?)

A variation on the “tiny metallic fragments contained in a 5 ml vaccine which self-replicate in the body to a level where they can be picked up by airport x-ray machines so that the authorities could wave through the vaxxed and detain the unvaxxed”.
Firstly, they could simply achieve the same end by cross-referencing the vax database to the mandatory ID which must be produced at check-in.
Secondly, if I invented a method for replicating metals I wouldn’t be fucking around with vaccines. I’d be playing poker with Elon Musk on Friday nights for $1 meg a hand.
Sadly, when I asked someone here (who projects as a serious sciency type) about it, I got lots of duck and weave obfuscation.
Presumably because an honest answer would push one of the club under the bus.

I had to nip down to Sydney yesterday to do something at Ultimo.
No, dropping 100 tons of coal on the front steps of their ABC was tempting, but I didn’t have a truck.
What was hilarious was all the Chinese kids flogging chop chop, and the Chinese girls flogging what I imagine was stolen or fake brand name cosmetics.
Concern over authorities was non existant apparently.

Last time I was in area the plods were handing out tickets for people crossing against the lights of that little one way street that runs from the corner of Broadway and George St to Paddy’s Market. There were about 6 plod.

Landmark Decision Vindicates Victims: Supreme Court Orders Total Wind Farm Shutdown
March 26, 2022 by stopthesethings 13 Comments

In a world-first, neighbours tormented by wind turbine noise have won a landmark victory, forcing the operator to shut down all of its turbines at night-time.
Yesterday, Justice Melinda Richards of the Victorian Supreme Court slapped an injunction on a wind farm because the noise it generates has been driving neighbours nuts for seven years, and the operator has done absolutely nothing about their suffering.
Her Honour also ordered damages, including aggravated damages for the high-handed way in which the operator has treated its victims. Since March 2015, the community surrounding the Bald Hills wind farm have been tortured by low-frequency noise and infrasound generated by 52, 2 MW Senvion MM92s.
Neighbours started complaining to the operator about noise, straightaway. But, as is their wont, the operator simply rejected the mounting complaints and carried on regardless.
Locals, however, were not perturbed. Instead, they lawyered up. Engaging the tough and tenacious Dominica Tannock.
Starting in April 2016, Dominica went after the South Gippsland Shire Council which, under the Victorian Public Health and Wellbeing Act 2008 has responsibility for investigating nuisance complaints and a statutory obligation to remedy all such complaints within its municipal district.
The locals won that round, when Justice Richards found the wind turbine noise generated constituted an ‘unreasonable nuisance’ as defined by the Public Health and Wellbeing Act.
Following that victory, Dominica launched civil proceedings in the Supreme Court, based on an action in common law nuisance. There were 13 plaintiffs in all – when the action started there were 6 plaintiffs, who were later joined by another 7.
Over time, Dominica was able to settle the claims of 11 of her clients on very favourable (confidential) terms – STT hears that those who settled pocketed figures of more than $2m for each affected household.
However, two of the plaintiffs, Noel Uren and John Zakula rejected the operator’s monetary overtures, because they were furious with the way that the neighbours have been treated and, accordingly, determined to take the matter all the way.
After a bruising piece of litigation (where the operator withheld critical evidence from the plaintiffs and its acoustic consultant was caught out ‘filtering’ – ie destroying – rafts of noise data) and a hard-fought trial, these thoroughly courageous gentlemen have established what has been known, all along: everyone has a legally enforceable right to sleep soundly at night in their very own homes; and the wind industry has been destroying that right with impunity, for far too long.
What Noel Uren and John Zakula have achieved is not just notable and noble, it reflects the adage about evil prevailing when good men do nothing.
Refusing to be cowered by the operator’s threats, bullying and intimidation, these men did something and, accordingly, every wind industry victim owes them a debt of eternal gratitude for what they have achieved and placed on the public record. At last. At long last. Vindication. Sweet vindication.
What their efforts have also brought to the surface, is the monstrous corruption that is part and parcel of the wind industry, which has compromised the integrity of every political and government institution in this Country, and anywhere in the world it operates.
At one point during the trial, the National Wind Farm Commissioner (a Federally appointed wind industry stooge) approached the judge’s Chambers directly, without the knowledge of the plaintiffs’ lawyers, and offered his “assistance” to Justice Richards, including an offer to provide her with knowledge and information about how ‘wonderful’ wind turbines really are. Justice Richards was not amused.
The judgment is the first of its kind, where plaintiffs have established that the noise generated from wind turbines constitutes an unreasonable interference with the use and enjoyment of their homes and, therefore, an actionable nuisance, at common law.
The decision is, therefore, of immeasurable significance to any of the wind industry’s victims, anywhere in the common law world; Australia, New Zealand, Canada and the UK, for starters. And, no doubt, it will be seized on by our American cousins in the US.
The full judgment appears here: Uren v Bald Hills WF [2022] VSC 145
At 148 pages it is a thumping analysis of the evidence and issues, and well worth careful consideration. However, set out below are the key extracts of Justice Richard’s reasons, interposed with our commentary on the factual background and legal principles in issue, appearing in square brackets. Note that the extracts below do not contain the citations to the legal authorities or evidence. For that, you need to see the PDF of the judgment linked above.

Dr Faustus, your piece on mining and the explosives made me nostalgic for the days of yore.
My FiL used to tow a concrete barge up and down Sydney Harbour – unload explosives from in-bound ships , take them to the explosive storage facility at Bantry Bay, and then haul them back again to White Bay for rail transport to the Snowy scheme.
It was a tough life he would say, but someone’s got to to do it.

But, on the way home, the thought came to mind that placing just one piece of coal on the front steps of their ABC could have hilarious consequences.
National news definitely, lock down probably, demand for AFP investigation certainly, counselling of distraught staff undoubtedly, stress leave and compensation payments for all journalist and creative staff of course, decontemination protocols implemented for external and internal collective spaces, seal-off for at least four weeks, possible building replacement due to contamination cluster, Morrisson’s fault of course.
Now imagine if we could assemble a relay of patriotic folks to randomly place lumps of coal on various ABC locations erratically.
Streets will be closed off, special new ID requirements will be imposed, new risk allowances will be paid to ABC staff, a boon for the security industry, free meals for staff to avoid the risks inherent to using the front steps to go for lunch/dinner.
Extinction Rebellion will go insane gluing themselves all over the place in attempt to attract the spotlight back to their particular insanity.

It can be increased fairly easily to a few homes but if a lot want increased current then the street mains, transformers and the transmission network will need upgrading, this is very very expensive and the cost would be spread evenly over the consumers, even those who neither want nor need increased current for ev chargers.

I wouldn’t want to be buying an EV if the whole street was getting slugged for the chargers.
That would guarantee my vehicle ‘caught alight’ one night in the garage while it was charging.

zyconoclast- re the decision in the wind turbine case:

The action was in relation to the effect on health of neighbours, given that the turbines operated at night as well as by day.

My understanding is that, as well as awarding compensation for past damages, the court has ordered that the turbines be switched off at night. This severely affects the profitability of the turbines, and should have a knock-on effect on future installations.

“I don’t know him but Struth is not the “I’m all right Jack” sort of bloke.”

And I’m not one of those who wanted to get vaxxed ASAP, but was coerced into it under threat of government order forcing me to lose my job, which struth well knows. But he doesn’t care about that – I’m just “dumb” ’cause I caved in when >70% in my state had already done so, and I would have lost my job if I didn’t.
I told him to ease up and that we are on the same side, but no – he insists I’m to blame for letting them get away with it, despite the fact (which he knows) that I went to my state and federal MP’s, the Human rights Commission and the state Governor general and got fobbed off by all.

I’m over the top? Perhaps I was, but I don’t regret the shit I threw at him in the least. I tried to reconcile, but he’s have none of it and just lied about what I did and didn’t do to make himself feel like a genius. So fuck him, not interested in even trying with that moron any more.

Thanks for that, Vicki. That is my experience too. I have been out and about and in and out of the shops and even cuddled my son who was immersed (unknowingly) in a Covid household. Church, enclosed, people coming down with it. Shopping in the wilds of north west Sydney, and up here during school hols. Nothing. Not even a sniffle.

Am I more likely to get Covid? Those figures, on the surface, say I am. That’s what piqued my interest. All my children are vaxxed and boosted, all caught it. A couple of points:

The vax is formulated for the first iteration. They caught Omicron. It seems then, that the vax provides little if no protection from Omicron.

The boosters likewise. They are completely useless in stopping transmission or infection.

It was the ratios that had me intrigued. Was there an environmental factor that was coming into play outside of the already established OAS one?

Of course, Ontario in winter presents an entirely different picture to here in Oz. Is there something in that?

I would like to see a replication of those ratios here. That would confirm that it’s the vaxx and the vaxx only that’s causing this.

Now to scroll back. Might have already been answered.

Comments are fast and loose about calling people mad, yet it is neither rational nor ethical to publish covid stats where a comparison between the vaxxed and the unvaxxed is on the basis of the vaxxed deemed as susceptible to covid as the unvaxxed. We are led a merry dance.

We have a young girl working for us at the family business. She’s just great and while working for us she also is training kids as a gym instructor. In August she’s gone making her way to Stamford undergrad on a scholarship as that’s how whip smart she is.

She was telling her fellow workers today how she’s teaching gymnastics to a 4 year old boy and the parents are raising this kid “no-binary”. The child abuser (mother) has also asked for neutral pronouns to be used.

The mother and the father should have the kid removed and adopted out permanently as they’re destroying this poor little kids life.

“What would things been like [in Russia] if during periods of mass arrests people had not simply sat there, paling with terror at every bang on the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but understood they had nothing to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people?” ~ Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Why do the Chirussian people see us as weak?
Well, first we must look at our response to Drag Queen Story Hour. What happens here?
Well, there are grumbles and protests.
In Chirussia, they would do precisely what Solzhenitsyn asks. The perverts would be thrown out of the schools. If they returned, they would be beaten. If the authorities sided with the DQ, the authorities would be dragged from their offices and beaten.
It doesn’t happen here – ergo the people are weak and refuse to protect their own children from predators. It would only take a few instances of the DQ being punished for the rest to get the message.
So why doesn’t it happen?
Because the perverts have the protection of the authorities.

Judge will not compel ex-SAS soldier to give evidence about alleged ‘murder’
Michaela Whitbourn
By Michaela Whitbourn
March 30, 2022 — 2.28pm

A Federal Court judge has declined to order a former elite soldier to give evidence about whether war veteran Ben Roberts-Smith directed him to shoot an Afghan prisoner, after the man objected to answering questions because his testimony might incriminate him in an alleged murder.

Person 66, a former Special Air Service soldier whose identity cannot be revealed for national security reasons, started giving evidence on Monday in Mr Roberts-Smith’s defamation case but objected to answering a question about how many missions he went on in Afghanistan in 2012 when the decorated former soldier was his patrol commander.

Barrister Jack Tracey, acting for Person 66, told the court on Monday there were reasonable grounds for his client objecting to giving evidence because the testimony the witness was anticipated to give “would have the tendency to incriminate” him in the commission of an alleged offence. Asked about the nature of the offence, Mr Tracey said it “would be an offence of murder”.

Mr Roberts-Smith is suing The Age, The Sydney Morning Herald and The Canberra Times for defamation over a series of reports in 2018 that he says portray him as a war criminal who murdered detainees in Afghanistan.

The newspapers are seeking to rely on a defence of truth and subpoenaed Person 66 to give evidence as part of their case. They said the evidence of Person 66 may have been a path to winning the case, but not the only one.

Justice Besanko told Person 66 on Monday that the court had the ability to grant him a certificate under section 128 of the Evidence Act, “which means that, if you give the evidence, the evidence cannot be used against you in any proceeding in an Australian court”.

But Person 66 objected to giving the evidence even with that certificate, and Mr Tracey said on Tuesday the disadvantage to his client if he were forced to give the evidence “would be very substantial … notwithstanding the existence of a certificate”.

Nicholas Owens, SC, acting for the newspapers, sought to have Justice Besanko compel Person 66 to give the evidence.

In a decision on Wednesday, Justice Besanko said: “I have decided that the court will not require Person 66 to give the evidence.”

He said he was not satisfied the interests of justice required that the witness give the evidence. He will deliver a written judgment at a later date.

After the ruling, Mr Owens put two further questions to Person 66, namely whether he shot a “PUC”, meaning a person under the control of Australian soldiers, while “on a mission in October 2012 when you were a member of Mr Roberts-Smith’s patrol”, and whether Mr Roberts-Smith asked him during that mission to shoot a PUC.

Person 66 also objected to answering those questions and was not compelled to answer them.

The newspapers have alleged Mr Roberts-Smith directed Person 66 to kill a prisoner in 2012 in an area of Afghanistan called Siah Chow, as an exercise in “blooding” or initiating a soldier by getting them a “kill”. Under the rules of engagement, persons under the control of Australian troops cannot be killed. A killing in those circumstances is murder.

Mr Owens said on Tuesday the newspapers could win the defamation case if Person 66 gave evidence about the alleged murder, and Justice Anthony Besanko accepted that evidence.

“I can concede frankly that it is possible for me to win this case without succeeding in proving the murder at Siah Chow, and it won’t shock your Honour to learn that I hope to do so,” Mr Owens said.

“But it is equally possible that I could win this case by only proving the murder at Siah Chow. It is an independent path home to victory.”

The newspapers have alleged Mr Roberts-Smith committed or was involved in five other murders of Afghan prisoners.

Mr Roberts-Smith denies all wrongdoing and has said any killings in Afghanistan were carried out lawfully in the heat of battle.

The trial continues.

Recruiting came back a bit later with “Yes she checks out.”
Boss: “She isn’t a nurse. She knows shit about nursing. Check her out properly!”

Health authorities are adding children aged zero to four to Australia’s vaxx injury compensation claims scheme, as health authorities finish defining regulations to administer vaxx to babies and toddlers.

it has been noted in the new budget papers that the government had extended the Covid-19 vaccine claims scheme “to include children aged zero to four years and fourth doses for priority cohorts to access compensation for claims related to the administration of Therapeutic Goods Administration approved Covid-19 vaccines”.

The scheme allows citizens who suffer serious adverse reactions to the Covid-19 jabs the ability to claim up to $20,000 for lost income, medical bills, and other expenses. The scheme first started paying out claims earlier this year after more than 10,000 applications were registered.

TRANSCRIPT OF PROCEEDINGS

SUPREME COURT OF VICTORIA
S ECI 2020 00471
COMMON LAW DIVISION – TRIAL DIVISION
MELBOURNE

TUESDAY 7 SEPTEMBER 2021 (2nd day of hearing)
BEFORE THE HONOURABLE JUSTICE RICHARDS

NOEL UREN & JOHN ZAKULA (Plaintiffs) v BALD HILLS WIND FARM PTY LTD (Defendant)

___________________________________________________

HER HONOUR: Good morning everyone. There’s a matter that I
need to raise with the parties before I turn to you, Ms Costello.

This morning shortly before 9 o’clock my
associate, Jane Kluske, received a telephone call in my
chambers number from Andrew Dyer, the Australian Energy
Infrastructure Commissioner, who I understand was
formerly the National Wind Farm Commissioner.

I understand that Mr Dyer was one of a number of people
who were watching the live stream of the proceeding
yesterday. Mr Dyer apparently wanted to let me know
that there is a range of resources on his office’s
website and he also offered to speak with me about
issues in the case. Needless to say, I will not be
consulting the website and I will not be speaking with
Mr Dyer. As my associate informed him, I will be
making my decision on the basis of the evidence that I
receive in the course of this trial.

This is, of course, a trial of an adversarial
proceeding involving a common law nuisance claim
brought by Mr Uren and Mr Zakula against the Bald Hills
Wind Farm. There are a confined set of issues for
determination. It is not a broad-ranging inquiry into
wind farms generally.

While I don’t doubt that Mr Dyer’s contact with my
chambers was well-intentioned, I do regard it as quite
inappropriate and I do not wish it to be repeated. If
there is anything that arises from that I expect the
parties will let me know.

Ms Costello, did you have anything further that
you wanted to add this morning?

Good luck with that. As my son found out in this very complex scheme, unless you have a medical recognition that your serious auto-immune injury which happened immediately after your second jab is due to the jab, you have no hope. For two months he was in excruciating pain, couldn’t lift a frying pan nor even wipe his own bum, let alone work, and an MRI (which I paid for as the medical system wouldn’t; they sent him off with no diagnosis at all) showed severe sinovitis in both wrists. He’s never had any auto-immune issues previously. But no medical certificate is forthcoming; no GP or specialist will face the music on this.

March 30, 2022 5:55 pm

Lets have a look at what I got this morning for saying Kneel has been having the most sane response to taking the jab, this morning.

“And he’s correct and it’s happened in the last ten years, particularly the last five.”

No, it goes further back than that.

We lost textiles, electronics and automotive industries on the basis of “free trade” (which was anything but), and no-one seemed to really care much, despite those losses decimating the supply chains that were also local like steel, glass and components for the automotive industry.

Then we had the totally ridiculous situation where we had thousands graduating with IT qualifications, because according to GovCo that was “the future” and there was a “shortage”, only to be undercut by immigration ponzi imports especially selected to “fill the gap”, when there was no gap at all and plenty of locals ready and qualified to do the job.

Add in the education industrial complex, where you now need a degree in beverages to be a barista, and it is no surprise to me that this ridiculousness has finally reached into the logistics chain and people like St Ruth are feeling the impact.

It seems it was fine while it was manufacturing and other services because “I’m alright Jack” and you always need truck drivers right, and that involves physically being present and no way to off-shore it, plus you need local qualifications, so that’s never going away. Yeah – until they used the same immigration ponzi fix on you they used on the IT people.

So you know what? Why the fuck should I care about truck drivers when they never gave a fuck about me? Why should I care that you are being undercut on pay and conditions when you never gave a fuck about my pay and conditions being under the same attack as long as you got your cheap shit from overseas? Oh, you whinged about crappy call centres, but you never stood up and said “We need these jobs here in Australia!”, did you?

Too fucking late now Struth – you had the chance to stand up for Australian jobs and Australian industry, but you didn’t because it didn’t affect you – you even thought it was great you now had lots of cheap plastic dog shit from China – and now that it is affecting you, you complain. Suck it up princess, you let it happen in your inattention and complacency and your “I’ll be OK” attitude. Too fucking late to whinge now, you hypocrite.

No Kneel.
Your last statement is an illogical melt down.”

Nope – just sick to death of your holier than thou attitude, your put downs of anyone who disagrees in even the tiniest amount from “the law according the struth”, and your refusal to help those who may have been hurt against their will. When you act like that, and then complain that no-one cares to support your own circumstances, you shouldn’t expect anything except the abuse and contempt I have shown you – from anyone.
If you don’t see that, you’re even more fucked up and pathetic than you have already shown yourself to be. And frankly, I’ve given you enough chances to see things from my side, but you just kept up your crap – so, yeah, I am angry with you, why wouldn’t I be? You should know better, you’ve been given the information, but it doesn’t fit with your view of the world and yourself, so you ignore it. I can forgive ignorance, but you have gone well beyond that – it’s either willful ignorance, arrogance, stupidity, sheer bloody mindedness or shit stirring. And no matter which it is, for someone like that, I wouldn’t give you the steam off my shit – you’re an oxygen thief and a waste of space.

Now I have already explained why this is just emotion LIES, but I will say this.
I’m adult enough to see when something hasn’t gone right from the jab with loved ones or family and this outburst of bullshit has therefore spewed forth.
I am willing to say yes we are all doing it tough and god knows what has happened Kneel.
An apology and all will be forgotten.

Last night Christian Porter gave his valedictory speech. In the speech he said as follows…

“that the rule of law is the antidote to the rule of the mob. People, so utterly convinced in their own judgment that they didn’t need anything else and that people will just cut through any law or abandon any process that might get between them and the target of their judgment. And in that experience I saw the real truth about how critical the protection of the rule of law is and how fragile it is and how every man and woman in this country should fight for those protections as if their lives depend on them.

Fine words from Christian Porter. Can I just say to Mr Porter the following…..

1. Mr Porter, where were you when the baying mob went after Cardinal George Pell? He went to jail for a crime he did not commit. Cardinal Pell was the subject of years of ridicule, vilification and character assassination at the hands of the mob. I noted your silence along with many others in the Liberal Party, even after the High Court verdict….7-0…..remember that? Mr Porter, you could have and you should have uttered the above words then to remind people to respect the law. But you didn’t. You chose silence.

2. Mr Porter, perhaps before leaving Canberra, you could have a word or two to the Prime Minister Scott Morrison because Mr Morrison himself has a history of willingly joining in the baying mob….against Pell, against Holgate, against our SAS soldiers, and against the accused in the Higgins’ allegation.

All the best Mr Porter.
