Lizzie try the federal government website. According to that site, which you can book through, Rose Bay North pharmacy, Gaslight pharmacy, Bondi doctors, Bondi pharmacy and Double Bay doctors are all offering novavax boosters.

Thanks, Rosie. NSW Health site lists the pharmacies but gives no info as to whether Novavax boosers are available, and says to consult your doctor if you want Novavax. We’ve given it away anyway, because our usual health clinic (not one listed aabove) has now contacted us and offered us Novavax, so we’ll probably get it next week. Another storm in a teacup.

Hope we don’t get any adverse reaction to it. I know Dot had a week of feeling off colour. Areff OK.
Anyone have any news on adverse reactions, data etc?

And I wish to wish a most felicitous Monday to all Cats.

With a side order of Baby Metal. One of the most polished and skilful metal outfits currently going.

Also very upbeat and boppy…

Going back to something I wrote last week, it seems the FSB did report to Putin that Ukrainians were unhappy with their leadership and this led Putin, in a gross miscalculation, to believe Russian troops would be welcomed.

It seems to me Putin is much like the Silicon Valley billionaire HTML coders who now control the West’s social media monopolies: a sociopathic loner cut off from his peers with zero human empathy who likely hates the human race and considers himself superior.

As king of the Russian castle, of course he surrounds himself with yes-men who, because of his track record of intimidatory autocracy, never tell him about what is really going on for fear of the consequences — a recipe for self-delusion.

Arky:

And yet the often stated position on here was that private individuals should be able to own whatever weapons they wanted.
One of a few libertarian arguments I have warmed to over the years.

In the main, those individuals were to be in an Irregular Militia with training as a necessity.
The demands for Theatre Level nukes were, perhaps, a little overboard. 🙂

Its not about the science or medical efficiency. It is all about acheiving the next vaccination target. Nothing else matters even if it involves BS.

One of my favourite examples of BS recently was Dr Professor Lt Gen Frewen saying the vaccinations and boosters prevented long Covid. The original trials were done so quickly they did not know would wane after a few months. So how could prevent long Covid ?!

Naturally our press failed to call him out because they are also fully on board the vax train.

How transparent was ScoMo?

That’s two a week in the same spot.

Diogenes:

Shades of the 4 Kotluban offensives, which were costly to the Russians, but they did a great job pinning down German troops on the Don who could have been sent to reinforce Stalingrad.

Certainly you are correct, but the bigger issue was the 14th Pz Korps with 16th Pz, 3rd & 60th Motorised Div were mobile units who could have been pulled back to repair and recuperate and replaced by three infantry Divisions. Add 24th Pz who had over 100 tanks/ AFVs waiting on spare parts to be repaired and moved them back to Kalatch, this force could have been pivotal.
The failure of Germany to rest and refit their mobile formations was a common problem throughout the war and the refusal to appropriately employ new recruits/surplus Luftwaffe/Naval personnel endemic.

Any preppers here? Just curious, seems to be a thing in the US.

does 6 months of toilet paper and 3 months of emergency rations count?

Actually Rex, any update on the influx of people into the Death Camps?
I assume the numbers are so yuuuuge they are using rail transport (trucks couldn’t handle the volume).

Delayed by flooding, and the privatised ex-gummint operator being dicks…

John H:

If Putin knew then what everyone knows now this conflict would not have happened. It’s an embarrassment for Russia, the exact opposite of what he desired. One of Russia’s fundamental problems is trying to maintain a massive military with such a pitiful GDP.

He’s been staffed by basic economics – you can have efficient government, a productive industrial sector, or an effective military.
But you can only pick two.
I’ve not seen any figures, but the cost of corruption in Russia looks like destroying it. Imagine if the superyachts, private aircraft, luxury dachas, all that money had gone to a permanent professional military…
It looks like Putin is going to have to do a clean out of the stables and drag his mates into the Lubyanka building where he learnt his trade, before the military do it to him.

Who looked after the harem, Pedro?

How was this disproved?

I’ll take that as a legitimate question.
The pregnant woman who was the showpiece of the Ukro-story of Russia bombing the maternity hospital released her own video to set the record straight on what happened.
It is fairly common for armed forces to use their own tragedies, or their own people, as fuel for propaganda and war.
In this case it looks like an artillery strike (or a bomb) on the hospital.

Reflecting on the atrocities committed at the close of WWII and following on from comments about Stalin and others…the population had been starved and brutalised for almost 20 years under Communism, and before that the revolution and the Tsars.

Brutalised soldiers make for brutal occupiers and victors.

Last night I watched a documentary on Stalin and I thought of Putin. Now whilst Putin and Stalin are no where near in the same league, the fact is that Russian history is replete with sociopathic rulers, as far back as Ivan the Terrible

I would much rather be ruled by Putin, or even Xi, than the current satanic globohomo leaders we have in the West. Naturally a true Christian state would be the ultimate, but that’s not coming down the pipe until we get over the great tribulations.

Good to hear there’s still some earning their keep on the farm, JMH!

Nothing else can do that? It is a fairly common symptom of any cold (keep in mind COVID is a cold anyway).

I see Russia’s economy is fairly resilient bouncing back even though the hollow vessel “west” have tried to cuba it.

I guess it’s a problem that we don’t actually make anything anymore which we can take away from them except funny money, real estate ponzi schemes, bad software built by Indians and chain coffee shops, the sum total of “western” civilization in 2022. But enough about Sydney. China makes everything, because we gave all of our industry to them and now China likes Russia better than they like us, so….oops?

We on the other hand can’t keep toilet paper on the shelves if somebody sneezes, nobody under 30 can afford to even rent a house within 150km of a city, and we now pay $2 a litre for fuel.

Winning!

Yes but why would the corruption and theft in the armed forces be any different what what is alleged about Russia?
I suspect the Russians were preparing for an invasion since 2014 also.

Eyrie – The one under the death sentence is the one who takes things seriously. The approach taken by Putin hitherto had been creeping facts on the ground. That was working. The preparations for a conventional invasion were poor – for example the lack of trucks, forklifts & pallets, repair & recovery vehicles and bridging regiments. By contrast as I said the successful demolitions carried out by Ukraine and the flooding of the NNW sector of Kiev, both of which took place immediately on day 1, show there’d been significant preparation. Then there’re the defending regiments at the two airports which were waiting for the paras. Plus a rapid reaction battalion that arrived in a couple hours. Very fast response to get a whole battalion on the road and into combat with an elite Russia paratroop force that quickly.

Firstly, that sounds like an advertisement. The statement of farmers just not planting doesn’t ring true. Mind you, if it was, then it’d be a real danger signal.
I understand some are changing crops. Like wheat to soy – I’m sure the farmers here have a better grasp than I.
The big issue will be Africa and Indonesia unable to feed their people.
I wouldn’t call myself a prepper, but I like to keep a reasonable stock of tucker, fuel, and ammo – just in case.

Does not seem to be much of a difference between attitudes to the vax on this site and attitudes to the vax in society generally. Consensus rather than common sense rules.

Common sense is for people too lazy to use their brains.

Saw a cheering sight in the main street today.

Three kids (male), two about 15 and one about 10.

15 year old on a bike, 15 year old in a wheelchair*, and 12 year old on foot, larking about. The bike boy was doing wheelies and jumps, and the 12 year old was helping the kid in the wheelchair to perform similar feats in his chair.

They were having a great time. No doubt it would have brought screeches of fury from the bubble parenting crowd, but it made my day. 🙂

*No sign of plaster or anything, looks like Wheelchair Boy has some kind of chronic condition.

Someone who may not have visited either Russia or China recently, even as a cosseted tourist.

He says everyone saw the Ukraine war coming, that “only those who know nothing about this matter can say it was a surprise”.

Sounds like righty Mr Juillet is doing a nice bit of opportunistic trolling! 😀

French military intelligence chief leaves job over Ukraine war failures — report (1 Apr)

Reports say the head of France’s military intelligence will leave his post for failures related to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

General Eric Vidaud will immediately be removed as the head of the Directorate of Military Intelligence (DRM), according to a military source.

One report from the French Ministry of the Armed Forces said Vidaud was blamed for “insufficient briefings” and a “failure to master the issues.”

According to AFP sources, Vidaud had been in the sights of the army staff since the war in Ukraine began last month. Another report is that his departure is part of a structural reorganisation within the DRM.

Earlier this month, the chief of staff of the French army had admitted that the country had not predicted Russia’s invasion like officials in the United States.

“The Americans said that the Russians were going to attack, and they were right,” General Thierry Burkhard told Le Monde newspaper.

Rex, just looked at your BabyMetal clip. Good stuff – the Japs have a long standing fondness for metal.

It is very reminiscent of the first big metal album to chart there, Deep Purple Live in Japan, 1973 or thereabouts. Indeed, some of the guitar runs are straight copies of Ritchie Blackmore. Not that there’s anything wrong with that. I don’t think that he would mind.

Ukraine presidential advisor Oleksiy Arestovych said during a briefing on Sunday that the next “week or two” could determine the outcome of the Russia-Ukraine War, according to a report.

“But, the next week or two will be uneven. There will be reports that we are winning, counterattacking and repelling in some areas. We are liberating our lands from the enemy,” he added via Ukrinform. “However, there will also be information that in some parts of the front, particularly in the east, the situation is complicated. You need to be emotionally, organizationally and consciously ready for this.”

ie it’s a lost cause

Common sense is a matter of examining the data. Nothing lazy at all about it, as a matter of fact.

That’s not common sense. Most people think what they read on their favourite website is data when typically it is an interpretation of data. How many people are capable of delving into the statistical analyses or even know what SD stands for?

Very overt Christians ruled Victorian England. Yet there was grinding poverty, cruelty, endless wars and imperial skirmishes and seething evil within a stone’s throw of Big Ben.

It won’t bring the perfection that some might hope for.

The best we can do is encourage our leaders to follow Christian principles, which is another thing altogether.

I see we share a love of bird flight, JMH. I guess that’s something. The older I get the more birds fascinate me. Something that John Dawkins, aka Mr. Selfish Gene, also finds.

My favorite funny little birds are puffins, which don’t fly much, and my own Currawongs at home, who swoop across the gully, but for the big birds, give me soaring eagles. There is an island off the tip of Norway, Storrstappen, way up high on the top of the planet, where you can go out in a small boat and see more eagles and other seabirds nesting and flying around than anywhere else known. Even King Alfred, back in his day, had heard reference to this place from visiting Vikings.

Is there a bigger fucking nanny state on the planet than australia?????

UK, by a country mile.

Speaking of which, here is an excellent exposition of the lie about tree planting in the UK and Saving da Planet. I wonder if our version is similar?

Councillor Sanderson didn’t mention the primary reason for the state promoting and paying for (through grants) the planting of new woodlands – their value as ‘carbon credits’.

Rich people and big business will be able to buy these from the owner of the trees to offset the carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions caused by their activities.

However, trotting out that the trees are being planted to save the planet, or promote wildlife and ‘health and wellbeing’ and to ‘support a thriving local community’, is nonsense which doesn’t take much thought to see through.

Planting trees has become necessary to supply the rapidly expanding market in carbon credits. Each metric tonne of CO2 (tCO2e) absorbed by trees will be worth a ‘carbon credit’ which the Government promises to buy at a set price or, if the owner thinks it more advantageous, can be sold at auction into the private market.

Established woodland is excluded from the scheme. And only carbon sequestered by new planting is saleable, even though newly-planted trees emit more carbon in the first five years of their lives than they absorb. Don’t old trees absorb carbon? Or is the scheme limited to new trees because it’s aimed at getting trees planted on established farmland?

and

This whole carbon credit scheme arises from the 2005 Kyoto Protocol on climate change and the 2015 Paris Agreement, whereby Western governments made pledges to achieve ‘net zero’ CO2 emissions by certain dates.

Our government chose 2050 for the whole economy to go ‘net zero’. But ‘net zero’ doesn’t mean no CO2 emitted anywhere. By this ingenious system of ‘carbon credits’, those individuals and large companies whose activities emit carbon dioxide will be able to offset their emissions by buying from the owners of woodland the carbon that their trees are calculated to have absorbed over a period of time.

But if saving the planet from ‘greenhouse gas emissions’ is as vital as we are told by the eco-zealots and their acolytes, then surely we shouldn’t allow the global elite to criss-cross the world in their private jets, or big business to continue their CO2 emitting activities?

However, so long as they can persuade national governments to get landowners to plant trees, the elites and global businesses will be unaffected if they can afford to buy a share of the carbon stored in somebody else’s trees and pass the cost on to us.

It gets worse. Most of the carbon credit agreements are to last for 30 years. Which means that for the duration of the agreement the landowner will have given up the ownership of his woodland and be unable to do anything with it contrary to the terms of the agreement.

He will have ‘monetised’ the natural assets on his land so that one or more of the roughly 12,000 large companies in Britain (and others across the world) that are required to undertake ‘greenhouse gas monitoring’, will own the substance of the trees growing there, but similarly be unable to do anything with them. And if the owner sells the land, the obligation will pass to the buyer.

What a scam! Alan Bond, Peter Forster and the rest of them would be bowing down and kissing the ground the architects walk on.

As for the acutal land and the people who live there – meh.

I’m not arguing that a Christian state brings perfection.

😀

You wouldn’t be that silly!

I suspect that what we both have in mind is pretty similar.
