Why the Silence on Lockdowns?

I had noticed that heinous bat crud has completely vanished from sight, at least if you are following the election campaign. The silence from the pollies is deafening.

Mandatory vaccination is already in the recruitment process for many sectors, including aged care. No jab, no job, regardless of face to face with “clients”. It seems to me nothing to do with efficacy and everything to do with OH&R and future litigation.

But what about litigation on the basis of discrimination – which it very clearly is?

Wonder what he’ll do with that.

Apple, Google and Microsoft will be getting a bit worried even though they are so much bigger than him. Musk has come a long way, obviously surrounds himself with the right people. He doesn’t seem caught up with existing business structures. Wouldn’t be surprised if he uses AI for problem solving. Imagine if he was in Microsoft, it might actually be a good product.

They’re now getting dropped off at the funeral parlor with more to come.

Tiger Global is having a year.

According to a new report from Financial Times, the low-flying-yet-seemingly-ubiquitous 21-year-old outfit has seen losses of about $17 billion during this year’s tech stock sell-off. FT notes that’s one of the biggest dollar declines for a hedge fund in history.

As shocking, per FT, according to the calculations of a fund of hedge funds run by the Edmond de Rothschild Group, Tiger Global’s hedge fund assets have been so hard hit that the outfit has in four months erased about two-thirds of its gains since its launch in 2001. (Ouch.)

We hear the word “billion” so often these days, it’s now being relegated to the “million” spot on the pyramid and “million” goes to the “thousand” spot.

This dude was worth $14 billion around the turn of the century. He was caught finagling the accounts and the stock collapsed. He then turned the firm into a software operation for data mining and it did nothing much until apps showed up and he began to create apps. Nothing much happened and then, a few years ago he turned the entire company into a bitcoin mining operation. At its height the firm went from around $1 billion in market cap to $10 billion plus. He held onto all the bitcoin mined and now the market cap has collapsed to US1.9 billion.

All this hysteria over the cost of groceries is getting ridiculous. My grocery bills have barely increased over the last few months and I’ve been monitoring them closely ever since people started to screech about grocery prices.

Scottish Cop……………

A London lawyer runs a stop sign and gets pulled over by a Scottish cop. He thinks that he is smarter than the cop because he is a lawyer from LONDON and is certain that he has a better education than any Scottish cop. He decides to prove this to himself and have some fun at the Scottish cop’s expense!

Scottish cop says, “License and registration, please.”

London Lawyer says, “What for?”

Scottish cop says, “Ye didnae come to a complete stop at the stop sign.”

London Lawyer says, “I slowed down, and no one was coming.”

Scottish cop says, “Ye still didnae come to a complete stop. License and registration, please”

London Lawyer says, “What’s the difference?”

Scottish cop says, “The difference is, ye huvte come to complete stop, that’s the law. License and registration, please!”

London Lawyer says, “If you can show me the legal difference between slow down and stop, I’ll give you my license and registration and you give me the ticket. If not, you let me go and don’t give me the ticket.”

Scottish cop says, “Sounds fair. Exit your vehicle, sir.”

The London Lawyer exits his vehicle.

The Scottish cop takes out his baton and starts beating the lawyer. After several minutes he says, “Daeye want me to stop or just slow down? “

BREAKING: Evidence of Biden Payments from China Support Tony Bobulinski and Show the Bidens Made Millions Swindling America

Yaacov Apelbaum at the Illustrated Primer reports:

Apelbaum claims to have a small sampling of documents and other digital evidence confirming Bobulinski’s assertions are legit.

This content has been certified via traditional computer forensic techniques and has been authenticated via these sources and methods:

Hunter Biden’s official identification documents such as driver license, passport, and birth certificate

A variety of Hunter Biden’s financial records

Detailed records of wire transfer activity into and out of his accounts

Source documents

Email and messaging activity

Voice recordings

Imagery, video, cell phone, laptop, and geospatial linkages

Note that in 2020 we reported that Hunter’s Owasco Company is where he is making recurring transfers to an individual who is a ghost with no Internet footprint, and Hunter’s company OWASCO happens to be the name of one of the Finger Lakes in New York.

In another image, Apelbaum provides a Biden family contract with the Chinese CEFC and subsequent large wire transfers to a New York bank account controlled by Hunter and his uncle Jim and aunt Sarah:

The Bidens are a crime family. We have proof. Unlike the Democrats who claim all sorts of libelous activities of President Trump and his family.

A note on Leak’s work, as published this morning:

A low-value, reconstituted loud communist illiterate like Albanese should never be getting anywhere near twenty 2PP points of anyone. Absolutely anyone.

All Morrison would have had to do was point at the other team and say ‘Just look at this abhorrent shambles. Just fucking look at the state of it’ and adjourned to the pool room. But he can’t, and he won’t.

Morrison will lose. Even if he holds a minority government, he loses. If he’s reliant on independents, he loses.

It won’t be because of the bushfire response, or the flood response, or the economy, or renewables or reliance on the inscrutable dry cleaners or putting our strategic fuel reserves on the other side of the planet. It will be this:

Scott Morrison deliberately enabled an assortment of feudal State Labor premiers to continue lockdowns – thus destroying jobs, lives, livelihoods, businesses and family groups – by feeding an endless supply of cash to people banned from going to work – thus reducing the incentive for said people to jack up, and also handing limitless power to unelected mid-level bureaucrats who unsurprisingly used it to build empires and pursue their individual agendas.

He could have avoided all this with the stroke of a pen, but he didn’t. It was a monstrous betrayal, and that’s why. People never forget.

Not all ships of the desert are camels. Some of them are ships.

Great Wall of Naval Targets Discovered in Chinese Desert (11 May)

China has been honing its ship-killing skills for potential future conflicts on new targets in a remote desert, according to new satellite photos reviewed by USNI News. New analysis shows the People’s Liberation Army is testing the ability to hit ships in port with long-range ballistic missiles.

Since USNI News reported China has been building aircraft carrier targets in the Takmalakan Desert, other target sites have emerged forming a string of large-scale target ranges running along the eastern edge of the desert, according to new satellite photos. Several of these are naval and two have layouts that appear to be modeled on ships in port.

Eight miles southwest of an elaborate aircraft carrier layout, a site with full-scale piers and a destroyer-sized ship-like target was constructed in December. A test missile hit a dead center on the ship replica in February and thent the target was then quickly disassembled and is now gone, according to more recent images.

This new target was discovered as part of the research into aircraft carrier targets, which had been found by All Source Analysis (ASA) with more details revealed by high-resolution satellite imagery from Maxar Technologies.

Definitely a better idea than the Iranians’ wooden carrier, which rolled over and sank.

If, like the late and loved Jeffrey Bernard, she succumbs to age and infirmity the supporting cast are primed to step up and will just carry on as needed. Like an ensemble touring the provinces before the big metropolitan engagement everyone has understudied and can slip in and out of other parts. Charles and William do the necessary for Parliamentary openings and garden parties. Harry hangs around. Perhaps someone will slip up and do their back and he will be called upon.

Down here an opportunity presents itself. Albo is the coming man. With ER out of the way in the next few years what then ?

Will Albo drink from the chalice ? It must be tempting to go down in history as the PM who shepherded Australia into the modern era. Rather Maoist: Australia has stood up (or something).

And then comes the question of a President. Who?

It can’t be a middle aged white man. A woman, then.

In all seriousness, I think the name is the faddish bit. The concept of feeding yourself only complex nutrients like protein that take more effort and energy to digest and make usable forces your body to expend more of its fat reserves is not new. It’s been around in various iterations, stemming from the old Banting method in the 1860s.

Oh for fuck’s sake. From TE’s link:

Ms Fyles is from the left faction of the party, while Mr Gunner was from the right faction. In a party room vote, Ms Fyles had the advantage of not being known as Mr Gunner’s “wing woman” – Mr Gunner’s nickname for Ms Manison [the Police Minister].

Fyles had the Health portfolio, which was directly responsible for squandering untold millions of both NT and Federal cash. She was a massive fan of unlimited lockdowns not that long ago.

However – an acquaintance had a brief convo with her after she’d acted in the role of Chief Minister for a week. He said she looked drained and paler than usual.

He asked her how the role was. She said, ‘It’s fucked’.

The general mail was that she didn’t want the job, so I’m putting this down to the competitive girl thing – ie, someone else wants it, so I must have it.

Totally agree. One could argue that a Shorten government would have done the same damn thing, but that’s what you expect from the ALP. It does what it says on the tin. The Liberal Party is supposed to be liberal – let’s not forget it first won government on a platform of dismantling the war-time measures and restrictions that were still in place in 1949 as well as abandoning Chifley’s plan to nationalise the banks etc. Menzies won that election, and ended the rationing etc. The Liberals genuinely did liberalise the country in some regards.

Today, the LNP stands for nothing apart from remaining in power. In what way is it liberal? In what way is it conservative? How are the outcomes it delivers different from those of your average ALP government? How does the lesser of two evils logic work with the LNP? At least Labor doesn’t pretend to be something it’s not.

Some of the better lines from an article about an ongoing trial in the UK:

He…took the stand and declared: ‘Bodies are not inherently male or female. They are just their bodies.’

The activist’s mother, solicitor and dog all had to be present at the tribunal to provide ‘support’ — requirements that were apparently sprung upon the court without warning.

Stonewall is saying that no one has the right to question the presence of a naked and obviously male interloper in a female changing room.

Now read on at the Daily Mail

In the Daily Mail article the author makes reference to “alternative facts” by Donald Trump and how he used coercion against those who disagreed with these “facts”.

I’m a bit puzzled. Where did Trump use coercion or force against those who disagreed with him? We are talking here about free speech and open debate not Islamic terrorists.

‘Kim Jong-un’ crashes Scott Morrison’s media event in Chisholm

A man posing as North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un has gatecrashed the Prime Minister’s morning media appearance.

In what a member of his staff has called “one of the most offensive things I’ve ever seen on a campaign trail” the man was quickly circled by journalists after Scott Morrison’s press conference at a manufacturing business in Melbourne.

The man, who called himself “the Supreme Leader” when asked what his name was, was asked to leave but continued to talk.

“Excuse me, you don’t tell the Supreme Leader what to do,” he said to a member of the Prime Minister’s staff.

“I’m here to support (Chisholm MP) Gladys Liu. She supports (Chinese President) Xi Jinping and now she supports (Dear Leader),” the man said.

“Thank you all for coming for coming to support this great, great candidate for the area.”

The man said he went by the alias of Howard X, whose website describes him as a music producer and political satirist.

Queensland anti-China activist turned senate candidate Drew Pavlou took to Twitter to take responsibility for the stunt.

“This is actually one of the best things we’ve ever managed,” he wrote on Twitter.

“Love you Howard you beautiful genius.”

Victoria police were called and were speaking to Howard X after he allegedly pushed employees out of the way while on his way into the facility.

“In the Daily Mail article the author makes reference to “alternative facts” by Donald Trump and how he used coercion against those who disagreed with these “facts”.

I’m a bit puzzled. Where did Trump use coercion or force against those who disagreed with him? We are talking here about free speech and open debate not Islamic terrorists.”

I’m very puzzled. What on earth has Donald Trump got to do with the fact that a black lesbian barrister in the UK is suing her old workpace, Garden Court Chambers and the LGBTQRIARSE organisation known as Stonewall for defamation?

I found a very small clear winged insect below the holes but that may be a coincidence or the adult of the grub involved.

It could be Mong-bugs, partial to gypsum they are.

But yes, Id be suspecting wood borers or termites myself.
Does the plaster still remaining seem ‘bubbly’ in patches?

I appear to be one of the % of the population who dont get Covid easily.

Back from the big smoke, mingling with the filthy, filthy unwashed in Filth (formerly perth).
Attended the main office for 1/2 a days work.
They have had a outbreak there now, 5/10 people down with Wu-flu today. Bloke I had a 4 hour meeting with sounds like death warmed up on the phone today.
I was there when they should have been starting contagious, Thursday last week I think.

Either that or Im a carrier, Wu-flu mole.

Also we had a chap 2 weeks back who ticked every box for “you are going to die”.
Aboriginal, obese, over 45, diabeties, high BP, number of serious other medical issues.
Sailed through it, without testing he would hardly have noticed it he said.

Crime Family – Hiden Biden and his CrackHead Son – WFB: Contrary to WH Denial, Safe Smoking Kits Include Crack Pipes

BIDEN ADMINISTRATION

Yes, Safe Smoking Kits Include Free Crack Pipes. We Know Because We Got Them.

Free Beacon Investigates: Five cities, five free crack pipes

Crack pipes are distributed in safe-smoking kits up and down the East Coast, raising questions about the Biden administration’s assertion that its multimillion-dollar harm reduction grant program wouldn’t funnel taxpayer dollars to drug paraphernalia.

The findings are the result of Washington Free Beacon visits to five harm-reduction organizations and calls to over two dozen more. In fact, every organization we visited—facilities in Boston, New York City, Washington, D.C., Baltimore, and Richmond, Va.—included crack pipes in the kits.

Roger – I know heaps on this blog are pissed with Libs, at least we still have some solid conservatives here in WA (who control, not majority, but sizeable, factions). Nick Goiran is one such Lib. Such as this non-stop 16 hour speech he gave on NOT giving men surrogacy rights (so that the Parliament ran out of time to pass it):

https://www.9news.com.au/national/wa-mlc-nick-goiran-surrogacy-laws-marathon-filibuster-speech-perth-news/733e09ec-0095-41a1-a202-51ef8e66c7ef

The problem with WA Libs now (all 2 of them in lower house) is their leader, David Honey. Boring, dull, moderate, out of touch, etc… McClown will be Premier until at least 2029. (Unless his own party “do him in”).

  1. From the nested comments, and apropos of Thai comfort-trannies: When the happy ending turns into a surprise ending Or not,…

  2. How many NATO “observers” died in Chasiv Yar? If true, it shows pure idiocy. From the Russians, for targeting them.…
