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.

Nah. Medicos of all stripes are beholden to both Saviour Complexes and the arrogance of intellectualism as described by Thomas Sowell, amongst others.

As such, they not only know all there is to know about how a person should live a long and healthy life, but they would cheerfully impose it on you if they could. Amd they get mightily offended when you don’t follow their advice holy writ. I can recall many times at Fiona Stanley Hospital lunchtime education meetings (of no practical use or interest to me as a Scientist, but we had to attend anyway. Rules), where we would be subjected to polemics about arsehole patients from frustrated Respiratory Consultants (20-30+ yr experience in their fields and sub-disciplines), that would make Struth in full flight (minus the swears) seem tame.

So a ‘crisis’ like the pandemic indulges both of these institutional and personal vices, in the same way as dropping an addict a few points of ice.

There’s a reason elements of the AMA and Nursing Federation branches here in WA have continued Nuffing about keeping the border closures and iso and masks and stab campaigns up in a way that even Sneakers would probably like to back away from now. And it’s nothing at all to do with virus itself, nor the well-known and greatly exacerbated structural failures and misgovernment in WA Health.

It’s all about them.

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

Bazinga, did the Holy Spirit reveal to you, or anyone you know that accepting a Covid vaccine, be it under the coercion of a mandate or voluntarily, was a sin that would deny you your Salvation? Because it would kill you, and thus accepting it was an act of suicide?

And if this is the case, why has this Revelation not become widespread, and why are Christians worldwide not listed as the primary resistors?

Who told you, Bazinga?

I read somewhere that Mel Gibson’s notorious outburst was tied to the reaction to one of his movies.

It will have been “the passion”, where he had supposedly consulted closely with high ranking Jewish clerics. Apparently when the film came out they were accusations of deliberately making Jewish people and society of the time look bad but he assumed these clerics would step forward and defend him. But they did not.

So he felt betrayed, and being drunk at the time he just lashed out wildly.

I don’t believe that there is any evidence that he truly is antisemitic. He was just a drunk blindly throwing abuse at people for perceived injustice.

Hollywood didn’t like him because he was profoundly Christian and his politics did not encompass the newest feds of Hollywood.

At least, that is what I read somewhere.

I don’t know about Gibson and anti-semitism, except for the incident with the Jewish policeman who pulled him over for drink driving. Gibson got mouthy and the policeman was offended and reported it.

Anyone other than Gibson…zip.

Then they had John Caviezel, another Christian, in the frame trying to get him to bad mouth Gibson. The usual stuff which he sidestepped neatly.

Hollywood hates Gibson. Only one problem – he’s a talented original. And audiences love him.

Mel’s pappy was a Quiz Show whiz?
Quiz show contestant
In 1968, Gibson appeared on the Art Fleming-hosted version of the game show Jeopardy! as “Red Gibson, a railroad brakeman from South Ozone Park, New York”. Gibson won $4,680 and retired undefeated after five shows, in accordance with the rules of the show then in force. He was invited back to appear in the 1968 Tournament of Champions, where he became the year’s grand champion,[17] winning slightly over one thousand dollars more, as well as a two-person cruise to the West Indies.

[15][18][19][20] Art Fleming observed on the October 18, 1968, episode that the Jeopardy! staff had had difficulty informing Gibson about his invitation as Gibson had decamped with his family to County Tipperary, Ireland.[20]

Gibson later participated in many Australian quiz shows, including Big Nine with Athol Guy and Ford Superquiz with Bert Newton.[21][22] In 1986, The Sydney Morning Herald reported that Gibson had recently won $100,000 and an automobile in a TV quiz program.[23]

What are the odds, eh?
Spook.

CL

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.

CL, I saw the NY Fed’s gold vault in the 90s, 80 yards down below ground. The gold bars were piled and stacked in neat pyramid shapes as far as the eye could see. There were dudes on the other said of the prison bars and we were told they were there doing an audit for a country. I think audits would be pretty routine, so it’s not great shakes that Australia regularly counts is gold reserves at the BofE. You know the most disappointing thing. The gold bars aren’t as glossy as the ones you see in movies.

There’s a funny semi-related related. Throughout the 50s and 60s the US ran a significant balance of payments deficit. The system of gold exchange standard created at Bretton Woods, after the war, meant that governments/central banks received gold credits from the US against their dollar reserves. However, there was no official exchange of gold for dollars. In other words, country X held dollars and those dollars would be an indirect claim against American gold reserves. The Frogs, being frogs had accumulated a heap of dollar assets. With inflation raging and things looking messy, the Frogs sent their finance minster to Washington on a Friday with a formal demand they (the Americans) swap the Frogs Dollar reserves into gold. He met Treasury secretary Connolly and Nixon on that Friday with the demand. They told the Frog that they would figure it out over the weekend. That weekend, in 1971, saw the dollar floated against world currencies. They floated and went unambiguously fiat with the dollar no longer holding any claim over US gold assets. Basically, they fucked the Frogs.

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.

organized labour: Chance to expand the role of government AND crush those tradies…
legal: All those exclusive party invites and a permernent blav\ckball over being appointed magistrate somewhere… nup nup nup.
medical: Similar, plus a government agency that can strip you of your practice if you step out of line.

The common thread. All 3 are hopelessly corrupted by politics.

The father though…I expect there has been a lot of reassessment and realignment going on in the son all his adult life. And the marriage bust up was another pressure point, all over someone who wasn’t going to be a lasting feature anyway.

.
Hollywood cool kids “knew” a movie about boring Christian stuff would never sell, especially when if made not in English but total Gibberish with no subtitles, haw haw haw, how stoopid is Gibson?

The movie (+ add ons & ancillaries) grossed him north of $1.2 Billion.
That lifted him into a whole new dimension. He had FU money on a scale most cannot imagine.

Most of his detractors were working for wages like he had been, hawking themselves out at $15 – $20 million per movie, top price of $40 million a movie.
Most of the (pre-release of Passion Christ) sneering came from people on $10 million a movie.

They come with health issues, no doubt aabout that, but you balance the odds.
After that, you can balance the politics of it; but your own health comes first.
Everyone has a right to take the medical treatment they want if it is there for them.
And everyone also has a right to decide not to take it.
That’s where I come from. It’s a personal decision with manya aspects to it.

Mel’s pappy was a holocaust denier, so there’s that.
Gibson Sr. had an interesting life [102 yrs], likely a spook, which casts shade on Mel’s bona fides as well.

Dickless

After an enjoyable day with family (son, DiL, and two grandchildren), I come back to find you still driveling on about “spooks”. Do you have actual evidence, as different to a shonky Wiki page, that Gibson Snr was a spook? If so, produce it. (Being on a couple of quiz shows is not evidence, unless Barry Jones, at least in your fevered brain, is also a spook.)

And if you can’t do that, how about actual evidence that a USN aircraft carrier was off the coast of China as the Pearl Harbor attack went in, and that Curtin was prevented from handing Australia to the IJN only by the arrival of the Americans.

PS, you seem obsessed with spooks, except Scott Ritter, who was probably one, but you never mention that. Pourquoi?

Mr. Ed.

You reckon 4.85 for a drink is blindingly expensive these days? Are you living off grid in a cave, you idiot?

So the whole ‘no booster, no start’ thing is a bust if you are (ahem) “RAT cunning”?

Anyone who goes that route has rocks in his head.
Basically, you’re letting the Government know you’re diseased.
Yeah, I know …
NonConformity is a fatal disease now, and you’ve just admitted to it.

Since when have you identified as Italian?

Err, all my life, JC. Like your good self, I’ve been blessed with an Italian surname. 🙂

Thanks Rockdoctor. I couldn’t work out why I could go anywhere without being asked and others couldn’t.

As pointed out, these creeps are holding out to keep memories fresh for the Fed election. Presumably so wall to wall Labor can do as they please.

And they will. You can green tick that with confidence.

You haven’t been in a pub for many years, then?
I don’t blame you for that, but clearly you’ve got NFI what i’m talking about.

Google it.
You’ll find it in the Guardian.
Yet memory itself should serve, unless one takes the memory hole route relied upon by the state.

Monica Bellucci speaks French too?

And Spanish no doubt. Europeans, when they’re not slaughtering anyone in sight, are too “civilised” for their own good.

Bloody Romans.

Are you still living a Can berra or you’ve moved. You don’t to say where as a result of recent breaches of the privacy act here. 🙂

“Monica Bellucci “

One of the most beautiful women ever. She’s fluent in French, Italian and English.

Naaaaa fuck’em . It’s much more fun when they’re at each other’s throats like now.. and I bet, behind the scenes, there must be all this double dealing too with the Russians. I can’t imagine otherwise there’s no back stabbing going on.

I suspect the rouble is undervalued at the moment.

Does anyone know of a way that one can still invest in short term rouble bonds?

Never, Squire – merely attempting to stimulate some discussion, depressed as I am about the gliberals getting slaughtered on May 21. Being the unrepentant gliberal shill that I am.

What size swing are they looking at Rabz? 5%, 7%, 10%?

Makes contradictory claims, then wave vaguely at ‘The Guardian’ when asked for evidence.
Is it that hard to at least provide a headline and a date?

We had a dude who was our chief economist and worked in Maggie’s PM office in the role of economic adviser. He was hilarious at times, telling us some old war stories. He was around when Maggie was making noises about not joining the Euro. The Frogs would come to the office explaining to Maggie and her people saying the Brits needed to ally closer with the French in order to prevent the Germans taking control of the EU and the new currency. Next week, the Germans would roll up and dis the Frogs saying they couldn’t be trusted on anything and the UK needed to closely align with them.

Dogs, why purchase bonds as they’re about to default on dollar bonds? Buy stocks there if anything. Thinking out loud, probably the only way to do it is to find a Chinese based brokerage firm with a Hong Kong office. In the old says Sun Hun Kai was a firm I recall in HK.
