Sorry Struth, but if I am going to spontaneously die in 12-42 months because of the mRNA shots and Klaus is gonna take all my stuff, why should I worry? I get to go home! Eternity is in the offing, and I’ve got a one-way Express Ticket!
Sorry again to point this out. Suicide is a mortal sin, just sayin’, and the insurance wont pay out either.
It reminds me of poor old George Donikian diligently pronouncing every “foreign” place name in an exaggeratedly ethnic style.
Trying to give the plebs the idea that only sophisticated multicultural types like him knew about these things.
‘Kosovo’ used to amuse me; he’d twist his mouth into a weird shape and say it as ‘korsorvor’, even though footage of the locals showed us all that they pronounced it exactly as we would!
No wonder the Late Show guys mocked him.
It’s a frigging epidemic. Not only has the federal election taken Sky Outsiders off the air, but the Channel Nein AFL Footy Show has been replaced by TV hacks barracking for Albo.
All political parties know the TV networks regard Sunday mornings as dead-air time. Expect the party apparachiks to target Sunday morning for the next six weeks to drop key policy announcements.
Bugger.
The French Presidential Election
Paul Joseph Watson
It’s already happening at the National Review and similar CINO orgs.
Vote Labor?
Which state do you want the nation to emulate? VIC, QLD, WA?
I always thought the there was only two genders (and still do).
None of them work.
None.
Not one skerrick of evidence to prove they do.
“I’m glad I got jabbed or the three times I’ve had covid now would have been much worse”
Or “He died WITH covid, but his death would have been worse if he wasn’t jabbed”
The insanity we are dealing with.
“asymptomatic”
Nation news
“The sad passing of a 101 year old Victorian with covid”
Etc.
We are in a propaganda war and there is not one skerrick of reliable evidence covid is not just the seasonal flu renamed, caught by fearful hyperchondriacs, while there is ZERO evidence the jabs do anything but kill.
You’ve been had.
In the worst possible way.
Sweden
Note – I am not, NOT barracking for that insipid weathervane Morrison.
I think the networks did exactly the same thing three years ago cheering for the Hero of Beaconsfield.
Anything by Dr. Jack Kevorkian, CornHolio.
Still more life affirming than anything youve written skin suit boy.

Anyone got any decent book recommendations?
Ban this shit poster, Dover.
Dover can you please ban people calling for other people being banned. Unless its in response to a banning request of course.
bespoke at 5.58:
Preach it, brother.
When voting, it might be nice of the jabbed with Nazi passes to remind themselves there are millions of people in this country being held prisoner by Sco Mo….not a Premier, but Sco Mo.
He is a globalist.
That’s why Malcolm would not vacate the PM’s chair for anyone not in the club.
There is plenty of evidence that Novavax and Sputnik work.
If you are saying that it can be unfalsifiable, then maybe you are right, but that assumes the experimental design is flawed.
Having a mandate for any of them, fails a CBA test.
Certainly multiple boosters is rather naff. ATAGI never release their reasons.
Also:
Someone put this up in lights.
Sco Mo is a mass murderer.
That’s just the truth.
So are the Premiers and anyone mandating these Jabs.
But if Sco Mo had allowed you to leave the country, all the tyranny of the state Premiers would have been able to be escaped.
He and the Premiers are as one.
Controlled by Globalists.
Morrison now preaching to the converted/alienated on all the TV networks, except 10 (F1) and SBS (wog stuff).
Struth
I appreciate you are a bulldog for liberty and medical freedom especially. Keep on barking.
Don’t say silly things though.
Covid-19 is a cold, like other diseases caused by coronaviruses.
It is not the flu.
How many people have died from COVAXIN or Novavax?
Phabulous Phil (Anti-Business Daily) leaps into action with today’s first ScoMo gotcha.
Dover.
Amazon link might be broken.
Dead link for me.
It’s pissweak to blame “globalists”, struth.
We have voted for the same stuff unbroken for nearly 50 years straight now.
Whilst I do expect LABOR to form government, I think there is a very real possibility that UAP will hold the balance of power in the Senate and pick up some Lower House seats as well.
I had a 1 hour meeting with Craig Kelly this morning and can say he is very well aboard the stench behind the COVID response, mandates in particular, and is a strong supporter of Liberty. A UAP balance of power may be our best hope at the next election.
Bring back Constantinople, Persia and Siam.
Hitchens (P) wrote a whole essay on wanky renaming of cities etc in 2020:
The ‘Beijing’ Kowtow and the Mumbai Jumbai Cringe – more on the strange renaming of cities.
Inspired, I intend to use ‘Peking’ from now on.
Dot, I think it would be the currency side of things that would make it hard. Those shitty currencies would be like hot potatoes. Would you really want to hold any of them?
We know what oil at 100 bucks a barrel “looks” and “feels” like. What the fuck does a barrel or oil in Yuan or rubble look and feel like without converting it to the latest US/Yuan exchange rate? Pleazze.
Also, the BRIC heads have been trying this shit for years and ended up at zero. I know the US is weakened or at least looks weak with the demented crook in the white house. But don’t forget we had Carter and then came Reagan.
Do you think they appeared overnight?
Yes you are right about a coronavirus being a cold.
If I use the term flu, you still know what I mean, but further to that, prove corona virus exists and isn’t a flu.
The flu is the one that disappeared when it turned up.
Yea.. Beijing duck – one of the finest dishes known to man. Yea right.
It’s dispiriting to read the comments at The Australian: all of them have segued straight from ‘lock up the unvaxxed’ to ‘let’s go WWIII.’
The same demographic.
The sheer hatred of the young in these people is unbelievable.
Mr Ed
The rubble has crashed and no amount of bullshit disguise is going to camouflage this. The Rubble now has some extremely harsh exchange controls in place and the currency essentially lacks convertibility. The central bank created the new exchange rate out of thin air. And just a casual reminder. You are an idiot.
Truth cannot be not believed. It can be rejected.
The IATA airport codes also reflect the traditional names for cities, guess which cities have the following codes PEK, CAN, BOM, SGN, MAA.
If we’re going to have to use the native language names for cities we’ll need to get umlauts on our keyboards for Cologne and Munich.

The “Masters of Rome” series
by Colleen McCullough
Colleen McCullough’s “Masters of Rome” series about the final days of the Roman Republic is one of the most surprising triumphs of recent decades. They trace eighty years of crisis that led to the end of the Roman Republic, beginning with the political duels between Sulla and Marius. Encompassing dire threats from barbarian invaders, civil wars, and a slave rebellion, they move at length to the rise of Julius Caesar, his victory over his rivals, his assassination, the struggles of his successors and the surprising triumph of his great-nephew and adoptive son Octavius.
The novels are not for those who like short, swift books centering on romance or action-packed adventure. They are at heart huge, rich political novels, treating in detail the inner workings of the Republic and the unceasing struggles of ambitious men to use its institutions to gain fame and fortune. You will come away from them knowing more than you ever wanted to know about Roman offices, how the plebian assembly chose tribunes, how the Senate chose consuls, and the roles of praetors, questors, censors and the Pontifex Maximus. You will also travel deep into the private lives of the citizens, their dining halls and bedrooms, and across the breadth of the Mediterranean world to exotic lands where crucial wars were fought and won.
The key to McCullough’s success is the succession of great characters she creates. Decisive in her interpretation of well-known historical figures, she also brings to life an array of vivid female characters whose stories have been neglected in the short summaries of history as we know it. If you want to dive deep into another world, to take part in the struggles of scores of fascinating people whose swirl of loves and hates, skills and fatal weaknesses all played a role in the ultimate downfall of the Roman Republic, the “Masters of Rome” series is for you.
We are in a propaganda war
Agree
and there is not one skerrick of reliable evidence covid is not just the seasonal flu renamed
Huh?
Explain the test results, then?
The only people that read the papers any more are Boomers, sorry to say. Not all of them, of course.
Works for me. Anyone else having any problems?
If comments on line are similar to comments in the Dead Tree version, then they’re 95% rusted on Labor shills.
We’ve posted many links pointing out the wrong use of magnification cycles, that they were never fit for purpose and couldn’t distinguish between viruses.
It’s about time you “believers” in socialist propaganda started proving why you did.
JC, speaking of gold, I was interested to read the other day in the Fin that the RBA has dispatched an official to London to audit Australia’s 80 tonnes at the Bank of England. With 400,000 bars in its vaults (6400 of which are Australia’s), the possibility of fake bars is a real issue, apparently. Weird how something has value even if it cannot be easily confirmed that it’s all real.
Works fine for me. I use it every day to check out ebook deals.
Flu is a colloquial term.
There’s no Flu test.
4-5,000 people died of Influenza every year up to 2019, according to the

Any truth worth knowing is rare and requires a certain amount of work and dedication to discover.
Most people can’t be arsed. Especially if repeating your discovery involves upsetting the people around you.
No, there is no easy ways out. Do the work and get yourself prepared for blank stares and hostility, or just be happy to go along with the crowd and concentrate on other things, like being nice to dogs and children, or which style of clothes, watches, cars or houses you like. Footy and horses and make work and so forth.
The main work is always against overcoming your own biases. Be prepared to look at what you don’t want to look at or don’t start in the first place. The likelihood that the world actually conforms to your initial take is remote.
Certain folks on this site now declare that being jabbed is a mortal sin, and mightily un-Christian.
Wow…
The sandwich board has been getting a workout this morning:
Put on trial. Okay. By whom? Who, exactly, is going to put ‘them’ (whoever ‘they’ are) on trial, and for what?
It’s not rolling over. What exactly is your plan? You haven’t got one. Just beige motherhood statements.
Apart from the millions of Quenthland rebels, obviously. What’s their plan? Who are they electing to put ‘them’ on trial, and what’s the potential sanction?
You accept that there is such a thing as the COVID-19 Virus, though?
Right?
I’d say 10 has a watertight contract with F1.
F1 contracts are not “rights” contracts.
They are “rights and obligations” contracts.
Which means F1 precisely determines what and when you will broadcast, with yuuuge break penalties if you wander off.
Albo the underdog!
LOL.
the insurance wont pay out either.
Friend of friend was terribly depressed after the 2008 crash wiped him out. He had the decency to go out the apartment window while holding a squeegee and a bottle of windex.
Don’t know if the widow was paid out on his policy, but it was a thoughtful thing to do.
Ha.
I watched Albo’s version of talking to the punters while cameras were on him last night. Hadn’t seen it before. Shit hot.
‘I am absolutely up for a tough question. This press conference is over.’

.5 No. They have no standing;
.6 Only if they repent within seven days;
.7 Death by firing squad;
.8 AK47s;
.9 The People.
Well done that man.
Others would have gone off the high board with a placard saying ‘TyRanny’ taped to them.
I also hope the missus got the dough.
Yeah, Albanese is the Australian Joe Biden, except Australians are uncomfortable with displays of anger, so Albo’s Meet & Greets are strictly managed and curated.
The same was done for Rudd leading up to the 2007 Election.
A reminder.
It is 161 days since Mr Bosi’s ‘six days to repent’ expired.
This dude is ready for anything:

The Bank of England holds about 6400 bars on behalf of the RBA, worth about $6 billion. They sit alongside another 400,000 bars in special vaults used for centuries.
Only a Mongocracy in the middle of nowhere would hold emergency reserves in other countries thousands of miles away. Oil. Gold. I wonder where our National toilet paper reserve is held?!
Frollicking Mole,
I have just finished reading “Empire of the Summer Moon” about the Comanches in the mid- to late 19th century.
Brutal, stomach-turning but fascinating. Well-researched and comprehensive – I felt I came away having learnt a lot about a period in American history that I had never really delved into before.
#126 of things that make you realise you’re getting on – the cars that were brand new when you were a kid are now entitled to Heritage number plates. I just saw a photo of the last model of the Holden Kingswood with ‘H’ plates.

Ranga at 9.09:
St. Ruth, sadly, is easily influenced by others. This is known due to his attachment to Faulty*, but there’s more.
He started using Sovereign Citizen terminology a while back. Then, when it was pointed out that other people had actually heard of this sort of thing before, and that the SovCits were regarded as delusional cockheads unlikely to garner any significant support, it was ‘oh no I would never’.
Then it was Bosi. Up until Bosi started making his more nutty propositions (actual executions for ‘political warfare’, ‘economic warfare’ etc) public rather than private, then it was ‘oh no I would never’.
The White Australia policy (‘only Anglo-Saxon white Christian males can save us’). Pushback. ‘Oh no I would never’.
Relegate chicks to the kitchen forever and take the vote off them? Pushback. ‘Oh no I would never’.
Katter? ‘Oh no I would never.’ Palmer? ‘Oh no I would never’, but flavoured with ‘didn’t want it anyway’.
Now it’s all – as mentioned by several – excuses, abuse and catch-all motherhood.
*The attachment to Great Predictions that get scaled back, in the manner of net zero emissions targets, remains – and is pretty funny.
Only a Mongocracy in the middle of nowhere would hold emergency reserves in other countries thousands of miles away. Oil. Gold.
Oil, yeah, that’s stupid.
Gold, that makes sense.
The issue is whether or not that Gold has been stolen and Fake gold substituted.

Considering how many boats and people Indonesia has, I suggest 10 – 40 million starving Indonesians is going to bloat the welfare rolls a fair bit.

Years ago I worked with a bloke who just walked into the sea at a well known spot which ensured his body was never found*.
Forget life insurance.
His wife had hell’s own trouble accessing super and selling assets without a death certificate, which took ages.
….
* I didn’t attend, but the firm brought in a counsellor. He explained that, with suicides like this, part of it is the urge to remove any trace of themselves from the planet. At the other end of the spectrum are the “spectacular exit” types. Think those types who hang themselves in the garage knowing their partner will be confronted with it when they get home.
None of it makes sense.
I don’t watch MSM, deliberately anyway, so if anyone out there can let me know if any of the footage of Russian POWs being murdered on video has been covered I’d be grateful. The last I heard of overnight is of a Russian POW being beaten and tortured while tied to a tank-trap and then, finally, being set on fire.
Generally blokes, and for the missus and children to find.
The most selfish bastardry ever. If there weren’t going to be autopsies for toxicology and other similar things, you would perhaps be forgiven for wanting to use – after all the family had been removed and before the contractors got there – the person concerned’s remains used as a pinata using the Symons Tusker in the corner of that garage.
Has the Fauxdemic been Lachlan Murdoch‘ s Road to Damascus moment?
See how long he lasts when all the rocks are rained upon his head, his families head and his pet dogs head for such logical statements.
More Scott Riktter:
I’m not so sure, Dover, but it’s a minor qualification based on a fallen world. Lies are all around us, swirling and luring to ensnare.
The act of believing the lie is what leads to sin.
Winston Smith chose to believe O’Briens lie and that led to his betrayal and ultimate mental destruction. That the lie had to be accompanied by the threat of torture simply shows up the weakness of the lie.
I’d like to give you a thumbs up Dover, but what is written is so sick and depraved, I cannot.
More Gaslighting from you.
In fact, it’s women who are more likely to do that.
Classic Schrodinger’s douchebag syndrome.
Considering how many boats and people Indonesia has, I suggest 10 – 40 million starving Indonesians is going to bloat the welfare rolls a fair bit.
Won’t happen.
If there’s ever a drought like that in Indonesia, the entirety of Australia will be burnt to a crisp.
Did you read this in the same book that had the US carriers operating off the Chinese coast?

Good book, already read.
Explains very well why the Spanish didnt push right up through the Americas from mexico.
And in comes KD, playing with both his dicks and needing to “align” me with other people, so he can get a shot away, (so to speak) Oddly, last night we countered his bullshit, but here he is again peddling the exact same bullshit, and people wonder why it goes on for days….weeks…..months…..years.
That’s right KD.
There’s nothing wrong, everything’s ticketyboo.
Now, a little lie down perhaps?!
Maybe there’s some cricket on……..
More Gaslighting from you.
In fact, it’s women who are more likely to do that.
Oh bugger me Ed. Really? Talk about a failure of the imagination.
Try to hoist a half-decent straw pinata to burley up a Sunday stoush with.
Thats rude and un lady like, Helen.
Which is exactly why we have a couple of hand-patters here defending their Queensssland sponsor child – “boring, repetitive” and “do we really need this?”.
Because they know it will end in a Faulty style hissy-fit if he keeps being reminded of his ridiculous predictions.
If they want it to all go away, his sponsors would be better advised to counsel their sponsor child to simply admit he went OTT after an extended Dark ‘n Stormy session.
Sure, if you believe something you know to be a lie, that is a sin. No controversy there, Calli.
CVT tractors.
We’ve got two of them. Good for most jobs but a pain in the arse with a loader attached, almost dangerous.
I’ve got 4 tractors (one is just a pretender, a Fergie 35 for the grand kids) but the other 3 all have loaders (2 JD and 1 Claas) and I refuse to get the CVT versions. Got a new JD replacing the Class this month and it will be non CVT as well. I agree with you about the safety issues.
But George Costanza says it isn’t a lie if you believe it.
Girls, girls…..
Meow and scratch all you like, you were totally destroyed last night.
Sancho’s great opinions on the serious matters boil down to
“I owe you nuffiink struth”
You little gang are neither judge nor jury here.
Just fuckwits.
And the pathetic thing is, your little bum boys won’t even denounce your self confessed lies.
Such is their desperation to remain in the little gang of sneering nobodies.
No wonder the country is down the shit tube.
There are below ground vaults in the Reserve Bank building in St Georges Terrace, Perth that used to hold Australia’s gold reserves. All shifted to London some time in the 1990’s I believe.
Fascinating place to those who were allowed to enter the hallowed ground.
Row upon row of glittering 400 ounce gold bars stacked up over head height in multiple strongrooms.
Unless you were an employee or had legitimate business in the vault, it was impossible to set foot in the place, and even on business you were subject to search and under escort everywhere you went. Gloves were issued before handling the gold and had to be surrendered before leaving. More cameras than all of Hollywood combined, barred gates, armed guards and electronic keys ensured nobody could make a break for it outside with gold bar or two under their arm.
With all this security, I was amused to see an internal door being propped open with a 400 0z gold brick worth close to $A 1 million on today’s prices.
And although I was getting most of the upticks, at this blog that means nothing these days.
If I got none, I think I’d be more comfortable.
There must be an incredible amount of smart Lurkers.
Hope she got the cash.
Going out via autoerotic asphyxiation seems like a goer in that regard, unpalatable though.
That would take a phenomenal amount of mental gymnastics. I’m struggling to work out how that could be even possible.
There’s this:-
And also this:-
There are several – and only several – lurkers who follow you assiduously before handing out upticks, and retiring to the victimhood table to complain about how mean some people are, and about how their pettifogging numbskullery is not received with critical acclaim by the wider public.
Your epistles have become election ads St. Ruth. It’s just white noise, but good to take the piss out of.
Glad to see I’m getting up your nose, I must be losing my touch for it to have taken so long. My certificate of being unjabbed is in the filing cabinet of the death camp, remind me where it is. I would have responded sooner but I had to earn a crust even though I’m retired. It matters not what you do just do something instead of bitching about it bitch. It seems that’s all you can do. Dumbarse.

Here are Sancho Panzy’s Nuanced examinations and thoughts regarding our situation after going off and researching and bringing that information back to share with us all.
Offering his opinions and stating how he sees things, for analysis and discussion amongst his peers, ….after all he values your views on things too/two/to.
LOL. Seriously, Pedro?
Why was our gold sent from Perth to London?
Costello sold two-thirds of our reserves in ’97.
You mention upticks around the little club of sneerers and typically it gets to them.
They’re hated by many, but we only have a handful who could be bothered to fart in their general direction.
Which means those handful are definitely eating enough truth beans to blow these attention seekers away.
Why are our strategic oil reserves in the US? Because, we are not a serious country.
No idea, CL. Macro economics is way beyond my pay grade.
Re lurkers, there are quite a few. The difference between the number of commenters and number of unique visits can be anywhere between an order of magnitude or 2 difference.
I thought Gordon Brown got fleeced when he sold off most (?) of the UKs reserves during the reign of that fiend Blair.
Similar to MAFS viewers?
I didn’t know that. Cluey guy. I’m sure he realized that anything left in the cupboard when the Libs lost office would immediately be wasted by Labor. Which Gillard did, so he was right about that.
On that basis the best thing to do with a bucket of money is to wall it off so that Labor dared not raid it. Selling off gold reserves is one good idea, that way Labor can’t. The Future Fund was genius, since it applied the surplus to public sector unfunded retirement liabilities. Labor dared not touch it because the lefty ALP-voting Public Service regarded it all as their pension fund. Neat trick. Which hasn’t stopped the Left from white-anting it into lefty causes like stupid green energy. Ah well, you can only do the best you can do at the time.
Yeah, righto Struth.
And after all your posturing and Birdshit, your never said single a word in reply to my demonstrations about how Mickleham, Wellcamp and Howard Springs are utterly useless for concentration/extermination camps for the unvaxxxxinated. Despite being confident in your assertions that you could pick it all to pieces.
Without using a single ad-hom or sexual slur.
All you did instead, was bang on for hours about how we are all going to die, and how this is somehow both an evil and selfish act because all the umvaxxxed would be left behind.
I like the cut of your jib.
Oops.
Sorry.
Got a means of proving that?
Calli:
Enthusiasts smile and laugh.
Zealots scowl and rant.
To get it away from Bondy.
Only six weeks to go: Albo’s “A Better Future” ads are on high rotation on Nein around six times an hour, which means saturation force-feeding on the commercial networks until the third week in May — and there will be no-one at Liars HQ wondering whether too much is enough. You vill own nothing and you vill be happy.
Time to get on a streaming service or get interested in sport, which may be the only way to escape it. (Note: the ABC’s LNP gotchas will also be 24/7 on all its platforms).
Turn it off. Life is a lot more serene as a rule after doing so.
The whole lurker/unique visits thing interests me. Can the figures be blurred by VPNs?
I hate choo choo man but I’m not a lurker.

Tom and others re Skah News.
I wouldn’t say Clennell was the only reason I pissed off my Skah sub. However, looking at content, he would be in the top half dozen reasons.
Along with Tom Connell and the increasingly hysterical and screechy Paul Murray, with his Bronny vs Nick Reece “Punch ‘n Judy” show.
Apart from content the only other things were price, service for faults and, as Top Ender often scratches his head about, the inflexibility of packaging.
Yes if they used the same nodes.
St. Ruth:
Again – who, exactly, is going to put ‘them’ (whoever ‘they’ are) on trial, and for what?
Don’t dissemble. Please provide an answer.
You talk quite a bit about what you assert to be ‘facts’. The simple, real fact is that if Faulty told you to vote Morrison on 21 May you would, because you have no independent thought process.
I’ve found Mick Herron’s Slough House series of spy thrillers very good.

I thought it was because the Mickelberg brothers had just been released?
The big lie strategy eh? Well at least they’re consistently hypocritical.
Just been done for you. This headline is on Sky News today:
Free-to air TV undergoing big change (10 Apr)
I don’t subscribe to Sky and can’t watch the vids, which is ok since life’s too short to watch vids even at 2x speed. But I wanted to know what the story was about so I hunted up an explanation, which I found on Seven’s twitter feed:
https://twitter.com/7NewsSydney/status/1512726104330579970
It’s smart TVs: the manufacturers are doing deals with streaming services and are placing the favoured ones in high profile positions on the index screen, and relegating FTA channels to the cheap seats. Haha! Given the woefulness of FTA here I couldn’t not chortle.
I gather it means that we’ll be able to ditch Aussie FTA rubbish completely and access streaming directly onto big screen televisions without a set top box. That might allow mobs like Sky News Aust, Newsmax and OAN to be accessed directly one can hope, although anything righty may well be buried even deeper down the menu than Se7en, Nein and the Always Bloody Communists.
Chicken Little: A Cautionary Tale
by George Bridge
I believe it to believe the seminal book of all time.
The difference is certainty. The zealot is absolutely certain he, or she, is right.. Sane people have doubts. They live with them. Zealots can’t handle doubts.
The human ability to fool yourself also accounts for “believing” lies. It deforms the psyche to do this, because at some level you know it’s not true. Likewise, zealots repress their doubts savagely, but there remains the little voice inside which asks ‘yes, but how do you know that?’
Entirely hypothetical.
Faulty is rock-solid on “vote the sitting member last”.
That is an absolute.
Until it isn’t.
I remember when he was “helping” Cardimona with the state election campaign. Someone asked him, if Cardi was elected, surely he’d have to be relegated to last on the ballot at the next election (being a despised “sitting member”).
He got angry. Accused Sinc of deleting the post where he qualified it with “except for independents”.
He was then asked if this got, say, Zali Steggal, an exemption from the Faulty rule as ab independent.
He then got really angry. Might have even involved heart palpitations.
What a way to ruin a Sunday morning, no Outsiders. Have come in from garden to discover Albo rabbiting on without taking a breath. Will also need book suggestions! Sensational day here however, tomatoes and beans gone, soil prepped for peas and broad beans. Love autumn.
Interesting.
Like in spite of many red flags, desperately trying to find an excuse that you haven’t been championing a crank all along?

Currently re reading the Rama series.
Rama1 was good as I remembered it. The technical aspects are well done, the characters are also written well.
Rama2 must have been written in part by a female who was obsessed with putting herself into the picture. Page after page of turgid descriptive background that drowned the story. I am at that point where I’m about to just end the torture.
Rama3 -I’ll let you know.
I hope that is true but I have my doubts. I can’t make a call because the zealots I’ve recently encountered are all found here and I certainly don’t want to look inside their heads.
Trad Jews or Noo Jews?
Only a little I would think.
I hate choo choo man, too.
Especially when I’ve got nothing to wet it down a bit and make it easier to both chew and unstick the remnants from my teeth…
Anyone got any decent book recommendations?
I’m reading Fred Pohl “The Boy who would live Forever”. Last of the Gateway/Heechee novels.
Nothing personal Rex more to do with my Mill being train nerd. Worst then a Vegan.
Chicken Little: A Cautionary Tale
by George Bridge
I believe it to believe the seminal book of all time.
Woah slow down with the heavy philosophical tracts there perfesser.
Anyone got any decent book recommendations?
“The Magic Pudding” by Norman Lindsay.
It’s essential reading in order to understand how public finances are managed in this country.
I have read that.
Cheers TN
At last some one with Class.
Might help to give a clue as to what genres you like/dislike.
I second the recommendation for Colleen McCollough’s Masters of Rome series.
Similar to freedom Australia.
We get hundreds of visits a day with only me and a couple of others there, Dover.
The sneerers like to think MV is there, but he isn’t.
That’s why I do what I do, and always have.
You’d probably get thousands of visits here a day, basically only a regular 20 or so posting.
It’s worth putting up with or indeed using the wrongologists to get points made.
I’m going to vote UAP in the HoR and UAP-LDP-PHON in the Senate. Anyone have thoughts on the order of preference for Vicco? LDP and UAP are collaborating iirc.
You can always dump her at the nearest Museum with some ticket and ice cream money, offer up some excuses about trying to find a better carpark, then shoot off as soon as the back is turned… 😉
Could always just follow UAP how to vote I suppose. I certainly think David Limbrick deserves support.
What, that you’re now more obnoxious and monomanic than Bird?
Bird at least is hilarious when wound up. And even Grigs generates the odd moment of comedy…
Yes he is. He just flips usernames from time to time and gets the shits with you over tolerating Bird.

In regards to the Australian gold in Londons vaults, why is it there?
I can understand $500 million, to smooth out transactions, but $6 Billion?
I don’t rust the bastards.
Bring it back and recast it to make sure there isn’t any dud ones.
We’ve seen this with genuine people trying to organise sensible anti-mandate protests.
The fringe zealots act as a repellant to normies who just wanted to focus on that one issue.
I actually went to one of the very early protests in Melbourne at Parliament House.
Oooh, boy, did that bring some weirdos out of the woodwork.
Unfortunately, most of the people protesting were common-or-garden conservatives who were not seasoned protesters and were a little shy, for the want of a better word.
Within fifteen minutes the noisy loons had commandeered the stage and were shouting all sorts of batshit crazy stuff into the mike.
To be fair, I think the fair dinkum organisers managed to cull the zealots as time went on.
The MSM struggled to get footage of them on podiums spouting bullshit, if that is any measure.
A story I didn’t expect but had hoped for:
https://asiatimes.com/2022/04/australia-gives-us-hypersonics-a-much-needed-boost/
This is the sort of thing we can do well.
I couldn’t do that Rex, Not without issuing mirror sunglasses like mine to the innocent public.

Where are the National Toilet Paper reserves held?
In my garage.

You can’t have a discussion with someone if you have decided their view is without any merit whatsoever.
Which is where we are at, left vs right, Ukraine vs Russia, Vaxxed vs unvaxxed, etc, etc etc.
All that is left once you are so enmeshed is ridicule, abuse and ultimately hatred.
It’s now rarer to find someone on either side of a thing who isn’t so mentally invested in whatever they think is true they can still engage politely, concede even the least of points or consider alternative explanations.
At my kid’s party I started asking a lung specialist about his view of the cov. His hackles were up already before we even began.
So that’s everyone now, including me at times.
It’s not good.
No he isn’t.
The problem you guys have is saying things to yourself doesn’t make them true.
And yes, KD.
I don’t expect a Vicplod to understand charges like murder.
Or what murdering is.
You call it policing.
If we could vote in enough freedom reps into parliament, why can’t these fuckers be charged?
Oh know Mr Give up first choice may not see any way of making it happen, but they must be brought to some sort of Justice to be made an example of, or this never ends.
You won’t allow yourselve to see criminal behaviour in any politician.
It must be Vicplod training.
I am pretty solid on LDP at the top of the paper in the senate. Not sure who I go with after that.
Filling in from the bottom, it will be Greens, Animal Justice and Socialist Left last, ALP second last, Libs third last.
The HoR?
Dunno.
We are not in a marginal seat so practically it doesn’t matter.
I really don’t know who is running yet (obviously). I have looked up the UAP candidate on Facebook. Not overly impressive, but let’s see what else pops up.
Old Ozzie
Interesting theory about the Pope.
I suppose you have read everything he’s ever said or written in coming up with that.
Plus it’s impossible not to place too much weight on what one young tour guide didn’t say.
I hate guided tours and now I realise I’d hate being a tour guide too.
Of course of living popes I much prefer Benedict but the is the Pope a Catholic thing is getting a bit tedious.
After all, according to the experts anyone baptised Catholic is Catholic.
Close to what I was getting at early this morning. They believe, as in really believe. If they don’t believe, they’re manipulators with a semblance of belief to add weight to the message.
I love cooking
Making these again today whilst watching the F1

I’m glad you put that at the end.
Basic truths are basic truths.
Water is wet.
Fire is hot.
The vaccines are killing people.
These are not “MY” truths.
These are truths.
The humour in the mental pictures………………..
If you start with shit posting over Russia or the Vax don’t expect people to respond civilly.
No even when it’s walked back.
Start civilly (lead) or stop playing the victim.
Becareful Klingons, there are truths, men and women, etc, and there are lies.
Some denialists here are trying to paint people speaking absolute truths as zealots.
Expected, but sick.
How much “mental gymnastics” is involved in voting Labor?
You know Unemployment is going to skyrocket under them and just about everyone will be worse off.
Yet people still vote Labor without a worry in the world.
..
So are pies.
In order for that sentence to have any meaning, you have to be able to put numbers into it.
In order to put numbers into it you have to find a reliable source of data.
Any source that gives you the conclusion on a plate is liable to be corrupted.
So you have to be able to do some basic stats and analysis and research.
Even a small amount of doing that will take you to a place where you will become a lot less certain either way.
New post addressing the ‘tiny Russian economy’ meme of a few weeks back now up.
We are drowning in data.
What batshit crazy stuff were they saying?
Did they call for freedom?
Did they call for an end to mandates.
Call for the perpetrators of this to be locked up?
Try to get a welcome to country?
Or claim Sco Mo was abducted by aliens and is a lizard man from the zombie eucalypts.
NSS?
So is being born.
It’s the number one killer.
There’s thousands of reports out now, and no government is denying they don’t kill anymore. They are denying people were forced to take it.
I’ve got threads of them up at freedom Australia.
I can start posting them here if you like.
Remember Sco Mo making that exact claim when confronted with Vax deaths?
Thanks for the Father Stu trailer CL
I see it’s being released here on May 12.
I’m going to see it.
None. People vote according to their world view. If they are the centre of their world, they will vote for the ones who will satisfy their needs. A Labor voter will want a handout, a Green pretends to be an altruist and says it’s “for the planet” but it’s really just to satisfy their need for a semblance of control over a chaotic system.
Some people might vote for “what’s best for the country but not me necessarily”. They are rare.
Certain folks on this site now declare that being jabbed is a mortal sin, and mightily un-Christian.
Wow…
Only if you knew/had an idea it may be a death sentence
Normies are talking. I am still amazed that people had to choose between their jobs and their health with so little professional resistance at the level of organized labour, legal, and medical.
Palm Sunday today.
Someone in my parish very kindly makes little palm crosses which get blessed during mass.
They keep very well.
If you are looking for something to read I can recommend the operating manual for the Matsushita E270-a EZ self-cleaning Toaster with Muffin and Crumpet options (and attachable auxiliary cradle for small items).
It has a very direct and concise writing style, sometimes verging on the terse, but unflinchingly honest.
Toward the end is a litany of scenarios of a world gone wrong, where signs and signals, and substance are estranged – such as the power light being on but the toast is not cooking. Or another case where the switch is set to ‘Muffin/Crumpet’ but it is toasting both sides. Or the timer display is flashing but pressing ‘Set’ does nothing. I had trouble cooking breakfast for a week after that – and I was only having Weetbix, no toast.
I am looking forward to the Eco-DW1335-F combines front loader washer/drier with the AI eco-senors.
Candidates who oppose abortion will get my vote.
Those that support it will not.
Indeed. Good to see Wahlberg and Gibson in the same film with an overt Catholic emphasis. I’m also really looking forward to Gibson’s Resurrection.
Old Ozzie.
It is worth remembering that the guide’s approval to operate in the Vatican would have been hard won and his/her meal ticket.
Asking a loaded political question about the Pope would obviously cause the guide to be very guarded.
Just talking to my mother about this this morning. Our old church used to be decked out in palms all along the nave and in big urns at the apse. Her little church in the islands ditto – they made the little crosses there.
I must make a diary note for the guys here for next year – I’d love to organise something like that and include the little children in making them.
Not really. Data is reliably measured numbers. What we are drowning in is bullshit. Some of it numerical.
I have to add…candidates who genuinely campaign on this platform are even rarer.
Who are they, rosie?
Okay.
We’re drowning in Numerical Bullsh*t.
Just don’t mention Vietnam.
The organisers started with that which is “what it said on the can” in the Facebook posts.
Everything from 5G mind control to naturopathy to suspension of The Constitution under maritime law.
And a lot of other indecipherable stuff shouted through a screechy PA.
Could have been about nano-wrigglers but can’t be sure.
Just watching the trailer gave me a feeling of joy.
The perfect Easter movie.
And I’ll refer you back to the original comment you tried to dump on earlier this morning.
It does not matter to me whether I go home now, or later. Nor by whose hand, nor what chemical exposure or life event, nor if He just declares one day “Rex, time to come home,” and everything stops on the spot. I don’t care- I’ve got Eternity ahead and nothing to look back at.
And if you feel the nees to throw shitty politics du jour in order to disparage a statement of faith like that, and project your own fears about your own life and death onto me in the process, it says far more about you than me. And none of it good…
You forgot the paedos.
Obviously my interest is only my local house of reps and Senate candidates
I think this website published them bespoke
Has the alleged accusations of Gibson’s anti-Semitism been addressed?
Dover0Beach:
Yes – the three sectors have certainly pissed their collective reputations against the wall. And what for?
I expect that sort of stuff from the Unions.
I kind of expect that response from the legal apparatus.
Medical is the one I am most surprised by. The way they have rolled over and forgotten their oaths in response to a tummy rub has been a revelation.
In my opinion, the medical profession has moved from ally to enemy, and I cannot understand how that happened. I can understand the mechanics of it, but the emotional aspect has me bewildered. Why?
Ha, ha.
But no.
I don’t recall that particular shark got jumped.
No criticism of the organisers.
It was early days and I think they probably thought a “broad church” of opposition.
They quickly learnt that Dan’s PR machine and the likes of Planet Cornelius would exploit this, so they cut these dickheads from the herd.
And fair enough.
They were hijackers who would struggle to fill a phone box with their own dedicated supporters.
St. Ruth, on behalf of the Committee:
You must have missed the past two years where I have been very publicly, and very deeply critical of VicJack Inc, and in particular its upper management.
Unless, of course, it is ‘Freedom and self-reliance is strong in my breed‘ when is very clear that you rely on other people for your own success or failure, and also that you’ve gone back to running your comments past Faulty before posting them.
White noise from an aspirational yet failed dictator.
There’s thousands of reports out now, and no government is denying they don’t kill anymore.
Bullshit.
No Government has admitted that.
They are denying people were forced to take it.
That’s bullshit too.
Are you able to tell the truth at all?
Because, so far, all you’ve said is:
It hasn’t even begun till someone mentions nano wrigglers.
Righto. I’m getting myself mixed up with some of the later ones elsewhere, when a certain personage of no standing began making a few appearances round Sydney and Canberra…
All those things got a run from the loudmouth tag-alongs at the protests I went to.
And they were allowed to by the protest organisers, thus ruining the anti-mandate message.
Dunno. Maybe they’re a ‘broad church’.
Seems this all hinges on one drunken outburst.
CULTURE
Cancel Mel Gibson
Why is Hollywood still hiring this raging anti-Semite?
Except that you can’t really claim to have eternity ahead if you are Christian, and have knowingly topped yourself. These aren’t my rules. If your rules are different so be it and good luck to you.
‘My’ protest had chemtrails as well, by the way.
My wordy lordy it did.
It’s fun, over on “The Australian” site, watching all the Labor trolls, re-badging themselves…
Shit.
Snap on the broad church, Mr Panzer.
This is what happens when you don’t run comments past the central approval point.
Zali has her own shopfront covered in her library and her photoshopped face. She seems also taken over another shopfront a couple of doors down, likely vacant now thanks to the brilliant Covid policies that she supported.
But on a nearby corner there is a shop which has been taken over by the UAP candidate. The vast windows are loud UAP bright yellow, and features many incriminations against Zali.
Zarley actually has a good location, her offices is at the traffic lights at the intersection of Spit Road and Military Road. A lot of traffic stops there, where they can hardly fail to look at her visage.
But the UPP display makes a stronger impression. Bright gaudy yellow. And being on a corner, the window which is parallel to the side street is perpendicular, that is almost front on, to the main street.
That at least is clever.
Cheers rosies.
As you know I’m not for a ban. Yet I will boost those that come up with programs that reduce unwonted pregnancies and push back on the death cult set up by feminist.
You should be able to link it with your fitbit so that all the white goods spring to life as you awaken from your slumber, then you can go back to sleep knowing the chores are done.
The zombie what?
