People have been asking me what I think of the CDC approval of these vaccine for babies and young children, and I have to ask them, do you really not know what I think?
I mean, seriously?
Have you looked at the VAERS data lately? The CDC apparently has not. In the USA alone, there have been 831,801 adverse events, of which 12,776 are life threatening. There have been 63,978 hospitalizations. There have been 13,293 deaths and 14,232 permanent disabilities from these vaccines. True, these are “unverified – but previous research has shown that the VAERS system under-reported adverse events associated with vaccines, not over-reports. Physicians and health care professionals rarely report adverse events past the 30 day window, so the true number of adverse events are unknown. But we do know that they are higher than reported. Remember that the mRNA in these vaccines continues to produce spike protein for at least 60 days. Then there are the international post-vaccine adverse event summaries.

Maybe he can knock 25% off – bargain!
I wonder how much of the cost is due to the various indigenous groups being “consulted” over the matter clipping their tickets?
Re Fina decision to keep womens swimming for women. It will be interesting to see how this devolves from here. The trans community are v good at weaponising for this type of decision. I can almost hear the war machines being wheeled into position to assault FINA before commonsense has a chance to spread. Am expecting fina to be divided, attacked, government funding withdrawn, law suits, deplatformed, individuals cut from the herd and mown down. This is only the start. Trannies did not get this far by taking prisoners. Already the left have wheeled out athletes who do not support the decision. The dividing begins.

As mentioned previously the Swedish data shows it goes negative from then on, so that previously vaccinated people are more infectible than if they never had had the vaccination in the first place. Fortunately Omicron is roughly equal to the common cold, so it doesn’t really matter much.

How on earth does it cost $25 million to put a flag pole and a flag onto the top of the Sydney Harbour Bridge? Did the Gov’ment get the required 3 quotes which is normal Business practice? Is the yellow in the Flag really gold thread? Is the work being done by some inefficient “Gov’ment Services” mob? Maybe the local “Mob” are going to do the work. The mind boggles.
Will the flag be lowered to half mast along with the two other flags for important events like the death of the Queen, etc.?

Does the Armchair Copelord mean that he expects the Ukrainian flag to be raised over the ruins of Moscow in about 12-15 years’ time? And does he still honestly assume that Ukraine and the Baltic republics will meekly play the roles of Czechoslovakia, Poland and France to Russia’s latter-day Nazi Germany, in the face of 8 years and 4+ months of very clear demonstrations to the contrary?
Then again, the selfsame Copelord was telling us all a month ago of his absolute and utter conviction that Ukraine in the Donbass was ‘speedrunning’ the collapse of Germany’s defences in Pomerania and East Prussia in late 1944- early 1945.* Whatever that meant.
What a shame then, that his beloved Red Army 2.0 does not face a completely shattered Wehrmacht fighting two more numerically and technologically superior militaries on its western and southern borders, and has no Zhukovs, no Konevs and no crushing material or logistical superiorities on every front from Baltic to Adriatic to back his beliefs…
* I suspect that if the Germans had had 8 years to prepare Pomerania, Hungary and East Prussia the way the Ukrainians fortified everything east and north of Donetsk after Vlad Bae’s first adventures in 2014 and reprises in 2015-17, WW2 would have ended very differently.

I don’t know if this link will readily work, as I had repeated problems when I first tried it. It is a link, through the doctors4covidethics.org website to the most extensive and extraordinary report on the falsities and negligence involved in the production of the Covid vaccines. This is “The Covid Lies” compiled by retired Pfizer vice President and immunologist of over 30 years, Dr. Mike Yeadon. It is some 31 pages long and totally dissects, from a professional perspective, the terrible deception that has taken place.
I hope that this link will enable the document to be read:
https://doctors4covidethics.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/The-Covid-Lies-updated.pdf
SUMMARY
I contend that all the main narrative points about the coronavirus named SARS-CoV-2
are lies. Furthermore, all the “measures” imposed on the population are also lies. In
what follows, I support these claims scientifically, mostly by reference to peer-reviewed
journal articles. In 2019, World Health Organization (WHO) scientists reviewed the
evidence for the utility of all non-pharmaceutical interventions, concluding that they
are all without effect.
Given the foregoing, it is no longer possible to view the last two years as well intentioned errors. Instead, the objectives of the perpetrators are most likely to be
totalitarian control over the population by means of mandatory digital IDs and cashless
central bank digital currencies (CBDCs).
$ere is no medical or public health emergency. We can and should take back our
freedoms with immediate effect. Testing healthy people stops. If you’re sick, please stay
home. Masks belong in the trash. $e Covid-19 gene-based injections are not
recommended and must not be coerced or mandated. Crucially, the vaccine passports
database must be destroyed. Economic rectitude is recommended.
Serious crimes have obviously been committed. It is not the purpose of this document
to accuse anyone or to assemble the evidence against them at this time. However, when
this is all resolved, We the People are strongly recommended to pay much more
attention to Washington than previously.
Serious stuff indeed.
Bruce O’Newk:
Piranhas come to mind.
“Just one tiny nibble, monsieur”
Nice chicken-and-egg.
Unfortunately, the ‘egg’ in your argument hatched a whole bunch of Little Green ‘anonymous’ Men (Just ignore the Spetsnaz, VDV and Russian Army uniforms and weapons they carried), who then took the Crimean Peninsula in a coup de main in 2014.
And who then kept pretending they were Donetski and Luhanski for some 7 years afterwards…
Um
It doesn’t work like that.
Theoretically or practically.
This is an “und Steiner” – ism.

This reminds me, one of the key elements of the world takeover plan for the “secret royal families/oligarchs” in Reilly’s books was to reduce the population by multiple billions.
I suspect that Reilly opposes the WEF/New World Order, and used his books to draw attention to them.
[The easiest and simply way to shut down the Aboriginal Industry ]…I’m not joking here people. Can you imagine if 26 million people identified as indigenous ? The federal parliament after that census would be tied up for years needing a new definition of ‘indigenous’ . It would create more havoc that trying to find a definition for ‘woman’. The human rights and indigenous legal system would collapse under its own weight.
There is no culture without a cultus. When liberalism threw out the old cultus they replaced it with their own. That is what Pride Month, Welcome to country, and so on, is all about.

We could form the new Çatallaxy tribe and vouch for each other. I’m happy to be aboriginal.
Apparently the word “aboriginal” is now deemed to be offensive. Best to use indigenous, it has the advantage of applying accurately to very, very, many people who might or might not have “aboriginal” ancestors.
It is an indicator of the decline in literacy that the more accurate word “aboriginal” (original inhabitant) is now superseded by the wider-meaning word “indigenous” (born here).
Another pole for the white flag.
Is it all mandates rickw?
I heard hospitals are still in, along with other public servants “interfacing with vunerabull people” (whatever the fuck that means).
But very quietly dropped over the weekend with no fanfare. In fact, the MSM gave a lot of airplay to Covid-Karens insisting on more jabs and more masks.
Isn’t this what brought Andrew Bolt in front of the Courts?

Well, yeah, but do they have standing?
That would be because:
That and there were no American trainers at the location. BTW, didn’t Trump want the US out of Syria? Was he countermanded by the Deep State?
I don’t, but I have an enlargement.
I have been an Aboriginal nonbinary person on the last two census reports. Having found my heritage in one of Bruce Pasco’s books.
LOL right back at you. You in turn wilfully ignore the Orange Revolution of 2004-05 that put Ukraine’s political class on notice that to the average punter, the old ways of bowing to Moscow and stealing everything else was no longer an acceptable way to live or govern. Not when it was blindingly obvious to all that their post-Soviet neighbours to their west were flourishing while Ukraine stagnated.
I mean, How DARE Russian vassals revolt against their rightful masters and seek a different way for themselves?
You behave as if the Ukrainian people have never had, nor deserve their own agency. And are merely fleshpuppets on strings. And that Russian meddling is somehow more wholesome and holy than debbil-debbil American meddling. Because US Democrats…
You should tell the Ukrainian armed forces that, vatnik…
After less than twenty years some of the lichen growth on our Colorbond roof was ~ 75mm in diameter.
Remove the lichen and it takes part of the roof too!
I was curious about the effect of solar panels on lichen growth.
I asked Colorbond technical advice if solar panels encouraged lichen growth under the panels or not?
They didn’t know the answer.
Unless that was a tongue-in-cheek pisstake, in which case I applaud you…
No matter how sceptical we are about the official Covid narrative, I think we need to appreciate that, as is the case for many other viral infections, individuals may suffer serious illness depending on their susceptibility.
Given that SARS 2 is a gain-of-function pathogen, I personally, have never taken it lightly. Husband and I have done everything possible not to contract it. In our case, husband reacted very mildly, and I (so far) have not contracted it at all. So, although it may have an overall mortality rate little different from a case of influenza, some people still are hospitalised with influenza.
Rex.
SBS Viceland is running a continuous NZ rail trip … hours on end.
Riveting stuff.
When you look at who is aligning against him, you would think “well they would wouldn’t they”. Pop quiz, how many of the G20 have imposed sanctions?
“Where is the DOJ and others to prosecute the FDA and “Fizzer” Company Directors/Chairperson and Executives?”
You must be joking – there is evidence of people breaking the law all through 2020 (BLM “mostly peaceful” riots, with how many dead and how many billions of dollars damage?) as well as very recently an illegal demonstration outside the house of a supreme court judge who was the target of an assassin, and the DoJ does NOTHING – in fact, DC govco had to PAY COMPENSATION to BLM rioters!
Meanwhile, people on misdemeanor trespass charges for Jan 6 languish in solitary confinement with no access to legal representation for 18 months, even people who were invited in by Capitol Police!
The US DoJ is so highly partisan it’s disgusting, while the US left runs their farce of a show trial in an attempt to keep DJT from running for President again, with the blessing and encouragement of the MSM.
A cult is an unsuccessful religion. So unsuccessful it forbids people from leaving.
Why do you constantly act like you assume Russia does not have it’s own interests and desires for security? Or that those can be completely ignored? I have no doubt Russia have taken casualties, have made mistakes, etc. End of the day though, they don’t have to do anything other than attrite the Ukrainian forces to win. It’s pretty clear with recent admissions they’re very much doing that.
The reality of relations between nations is small powers will always have to take into account their larger neighbors. As far as I can tell Ukraine’s leaders seem to think they can ignore Russia because the EU and the US have their back. It’s not remotely realistic.
Australia no different. The only thing we really have to our advantage is we are in the arse end of nowhere. We are a tiny population and really quite irrelevant for most of the world.
Dover – Over 300 Wagner guys were turned to goo by American artillery in the LGM try-on against the Syrian Kurds and their oil assets. Thereafter there was no such attempts until Biden’s usurpocracy. Now the LGM are active in Syria again.

Here is the final Conclusion from that “Covid Lies” Report
Conclusions
I think it’s worth developing the theme of turning away from evidence of sheer evil, and
I have to say more, because it is THE pressing issue today. $e evidence I set forth
makes it perfectly plain that the entire world is being lied to in ways that led—
predictably—to huge suffering and death. Given that none of the “measures” imposed
could have mitigated illness and death from a respiratory virus, the only outcome was
to be the fracturing of civil society and damage, potentially fatal, to the economy and
financial system. I emphasise again here that WHO scientists had conducted a detailed
review of control measures for respiratory virus epidemics and pandemics as recently
as 2019, and they concluded that no imposed NPI measures make any difference at
all.23 the claims made for control in Wuhan are not credible.
Page 28 of 31
The stakeholders who must have approved this action own or control the majority of
the world’s capital and assets. Their motivation cannot be for money, for they stand
astride the money-creating apparatus in the central and private banks. Equally, it
cannot be to obtain gross control over the population, since they already demonstrably
have that. This is what leads me inexorably to propose that the motives behind this are
terrible—at the very least, to secure totalitarian control through mandatory, digital IDs
(in the guise of useless “vaccine passports,” useless because none of these so-called
vaccines reduce transmission, the only possible justification for them). Add to this a
“financial great reset” with withdrawal of cash and introduction of central bank digital
currencies (CBDCs), and we have a wholly controlled population, controlled
automatically without human intervention on the ground. All that’s needed is to require
the population to show their health passport or else they will not be allowed to cross a
regulated threshold, like accessing a food store, or make a transaction using digital
money unless the AI algorithm permits it. If those operating this takeover of humanity
wished then to eliminate a portion of the population, with plausible deniability, I doubt
a more propitious starting point could be had.
I do not believe it’s a fault in those who fall for the narrative that they cannot see the
lies. People want to believe that governments and experts, for all their well-known flaws
and occasionally uncovered corruption, are trying to do the best they can. They cannot
accept the truth, that there is a group of powerful people who regard the ordinary
members of the public as surplus to requirements. $ey want to deny evil because it makes
them feel bad, sad, and uncomfortable to think about the world this way. $ey want to
deny reality; that’s their coping mechanism, which is being exploited by the perpetrators of
evil. It gives a cloak of invisibility to those who want to commit mass murder, quite
literally, since so many people are so willing to imagine that it is not happening.
It is not clear to me what to do with the information I’ve gathered here. I believe that a
calm review of the summary that I call “The Covid Lies” will result in any open-minded
person agreeing that we all have been subjected to a monstrous fraud with lethal
consequences, and that there is overwhelming evidence of long-term planning and
deliberately injurious acts. There is no easy way to say that, but it could be represented
objectively and taught, in the manner of a workshop, so that participants get to derive
their own conclusions (albeit being led by the evidence).
I doubt just talking to a group of people who hold the dominant narrative view as “true”
would respond at all well to this, delivered as a lecture. Nobody wants to accept that
they’ve been fooled, even if the blow is softened by telling them that this has been
brought about by highly experienced professionals in the covert services and has
required huge amounts of money to buy o# several groups. On the positive side, an
increasing number of people have detected that fraud is ongoing. A particularly good
example comes from the financial analyst community and refers to life insurance
claims among many other pieces of evidence of wrong-doing.
Ignoring this and hoping it will go away is naïve and very dangerous for us all. The
perpetrators have not gone away and will likely return in the fall. I expect this year or
the next will see them assume totalitarian tyranny, if we have not, before then,
“inoculated” important stakeholder groups to understand what has happened so far and
cautioned them to be alert to the many potential presentations of the next fear provoking episode.
Best wishes and thanks for reading.
For those who think the theories about dark forces behind the Covid 19/vax events are fanciful (& I confess I still struggle with the possibility of evil behind the whole saga) we should be aware that Dr. Mike Yeadon, ex Pfizer immunologist & author of “The Covid Lies”, recently fled his home in the UK to Florida. He was convinced that his life was in danger as a result of his revelations about the violation of all safety standards in the emergency release of the vaccines. Likewise, Dr. Robert Malone disclosed last year that he had been advised by security experts that he needed to attend to personal security.
And then there is an LPR perspective that owns even the Armchair Warlord:

Those NATO-manipulated Ukrainians had every opportunity to try taking Russia’s western oblasts by fair means or foul since 1991, and never did once. Not even in the Maidan era.
Notice how most nations at least make noises of disapproval if China or anyone else in the world does the same thing?

Igor Girkin in his comments that I’ve read seems fairly pissed off with everyone. I don’t blame him, even though I dislike all the ethnic causes floating around in Donbas like mid 20thC miasmas.
I don’t know what the idea about Kharkov is about since there’s nothing much to gain and the Ukrainians aren’t actually threatening to go over the border (thereby giving Vlad an excuse to nuke Kiev). In the Kherson area I can see a strategic need, since they so depleted the front in that area to get the odds in the SD sector that the Ukrainians have been infiltrating with some success lately.
Bluey, Indonesia has shared a not dissimilar brand of paranoid and militant nationalism to Russia’s since its independence from the Netherlands in 1947. Now this is historically understandable, since it did fight for its independence and most of its big neighbours were perceived as initially sympathetic towards the Dutch. Their early flirtations with communism and military authoritarianism didn’t help things much, either…
And yet, it hasn’t invaded and annexed PNG (as opposed to West Papua), reinvaded and razed East Timor or threatened to bomb Darwin (nor did it in 1999) every time something goes against it or one of its own island populations insists on going and doing something different to Jakarta’s wishes.
And nobody runs around treating them with kid gloves or demanding same because of 2 collapsed empires.

Yellen says US recession not ‘inevitable’ but expects ‘economy to slow’
She has some magic beans??
Joe Biden’s treasury secretary Janet Yellen says she expects “the economy to slow” but continued insisting that a full-blown recession is not “at all inevitable”.
Yellen’s remarks on Sunday came days after the US central bank moved to sharply raise interest rates in an effort to contain soaring inflation.
She told ABC’s This Week host George Stephanopoulous that her financial outlook results from how the economy has “been growing at a very rapid rate, as the economy, as the labor market, has recovered and we have reached full employment”.
“It’s natural now that we expect a transition to steady and stable growth, but I don’t think a recession is at all inevitable,” Yellen added.
Pressed on the issue of inflation, which polls indicate is a top priority for US voters as the midterm elections in November approach, Yellen said inflation causes are global, not local, and those factors are unlikely to diminish immediately.
Yellen said some trade tariffs on China inherited from the administration of former President Donald Trump made “no strategic sense”. She added that Biden was reviewing them as a way to bring down inflation.
America STRONK!
Looking ahead to Biden’s scheduled – and highly controversial – visit to Saudi Arabia next month, Granholm said the president “has asked for all suppliers around the globe to increase production”.
The planned trip has become a lightning rod for criticism as it appears to be a reversal of the president’s stated intent to make the kingdom a “pariah” over its human-rights record, including the murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi, which the CIA concluded was ordered by Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman.
Granholm said Biden is “very concerned” about human rights in Saudi Arabia and surely will raise the issue, “but he’s also very concerned about what people are experiencing at the pump and Saudi Arabia is head of OPEC”.
…
Trannys, trannys everywhere.
In a rare one-on-one interview last week, Biden set out his administration’s public line.
“First of all, it’s not inevitable,” he said to the Associated Press. “Secondly, we’re in a stronger position than any nation in the world to overcome this inflation.”
As clouds gathered over the US economic position during the past 18 months, administration economic officials and central bankers have reformed their inflation message from “transitory” to an economy, as Deese said, that is “in a transition.”
Ukrainian advances to the northwest put Vovchansk and the railway lines from Belgorod within artillery range. All the critical rail links between the occupied Luhansk oblast and supply dumps and transport links in Russia are one decent advance from being interdicted if the Ukes get past Staryi Saltiv and Vovchansk.
It also gets them over the Severskyi Donets river, presently protecting the Russian’s Western flank in Luhansk.

Good observation. I don’t seem to recollect reading about any aboriginal flags that the tribes had in Captain Cooks journals or from writings of the early history of Sydney and the NSW Penal Colony. An obvious oversight perhaps………………………

Why is it unreasonable for Russia to insist the country directly on it’s boarder not join a hostile alliance? People claim NATO is defensive, but you can point to Libya, Serbia, Afghanistan etc.
Although it doesn’t really matter discussing any of this any more. Russia must win, because the west has made it clear if they don’t the end state is be destroyed. There is no off ramp with diplomacy or a limited annexation and letting a rump state go. Russia has to completely destroy Ukraine as it was.
The couple of articles you linked, where are the videos of the Russian refuseniks? Where is the evidence those T-62 tanks went anywhere other than DPR/LPR units? Pretty much every claim against the Russians have ended up being proved wrong. Remember they were going to run out of ammunition?
Even the British media releasing casualty figures for the Russian side implied their losses are far less than claimed. ~20,000 KIA total between the 3, with the bulk being LPR/DPR.
I expect it will be a conflict that drags on, slowly grinding western supplies and the Ukrainian forces to dust. That’s if NATO don’t escalate. Tragic, but nothing I can do about it but shake my head at the waste of it all.
I’m doing nothing of the sort. But there’s something instructive re the above, you think opposition to escalation from part of the Right, whether from postliberals, paleocons, and the like, is simply a function of partisanship, ‘Because US Democrats’. This couldn’t be further from the truth. It actually arises from a deep and abiding suspicion and scepticism of US foreign policy generated by the history of the last two decades which isn’t going to go away simply by means of repeated incantations of ‘agency’, ‘independence’, and so on, as if they weren’t being made the previous two decades as well.

You’d have to think this is the case – at least militarily.
Russia can go on suffering for as long as it needs while it sorts out its Ukraine military objectives to Poot’s satisfaction. At some point, however, the West will find a way to back away from supplying arms and ammunition to Zelenski – possibly at the end of a threat of escalation, for which it’s not ready.
However, on the diplomatic, trade, defence and economic front the long-term consequences for Putin’s Russia haven’t really started.
“Win” is a very subjective term.

So you’ve slipped from anyone that opposes US interventionism presently must be ‘anti-Democrat’ to ‘anti-American’. A problem with this is the conflation of liberal interventionism/ neo-conservatism with America. You can oppose the former without opposing the latter.
Dover, a person citing anyone on the Right opposing escalation of a war or diplomatic spat, should be doing it as a general principle of all men and nations being free to choose their own way, uncoerced.
Make excuses for one blatantly imperialist power over a small nation, because you decided you didn’t like another blatantly imperialist power doing it the way you have, is by definition partisan.
Either crushing those weaker than you underfoot because it makes you feel better is acceptable for everyone, or it is acceptable for no-one.
“…This couldn’t be further from the truth. It actually arises from a deep and abiding suspicion and scepticism of US foreign policy generated by the history of the last two decades which isn’t going to go away simply by means of repeated incantations of ‘agency’, …”
Exactly. The US freaked out over nuclear missiles in Cuba, the Europeans freaked out whenever the USSR was having “war games” near their borders, etc etc.
Now, the USSR is no more, and Russia is arguably weaker because of that, yet they aren’t allowed to freak out when the US, with at least 3 times the military budget of Russia, decides to use it’s own “reserve currency” status to bribe the Uke’s into “poking the bear”? Even after years of them doing this and the Russians complaining about it diplomatically? Even when the Uke’s are talking about joining the EU and/or NATO against the terms of their own independence? When the US and EU are both saying “Come join us” to the Uke’s, while continuing with the “Russia bad, hmmmkay?” bullshit?
They MUST have known that at some point, Russia would say “Enough!” and “snap”. But they kept going anyway – against a country that changed from communism to capitalism, just like they said they wanted. Sure, VERY crony-capitalist, but that could have been changed with co-operation and time. Oh, that’s right – “We’ve always been at war with Eurasia!”. Or, perhaps more appropriately, “Two legs bad, four legs better” – they are, after all, just pigs with their snouts in the trough, looking out for themselves and wanting to “control” you by fear of something. Anything will do. If COVID won’t work, let’s just poke the bear and get it to react, that’s always worked before, right?
I feel sorry for the Uke’s – for most of them, they got plundered by the USSR, then they thought they were free but got plundered by the US and EU, now they have a war that, just like Vietnam, will destroy their country to absolutely no benefit and likely great detriment to them, while multinational companies make a profit selling the tools of war that do the damage, strip mining any and all assets those poor people have, and destroying what can’t be sold.

Funny how you have never said a word about Donald Trump agreeing to sending Javelins and other lethal aid and training assistance between 2016 and 2020 (where Barack Obama refused to do anything beyond promises in 2014-15), if it’s all really about opposing American foreign policy.
But you just did this yourself by talking about how you’re operating out of skepticism towards 20-odd years of American foreign policy. You have talked incessantly about Victoria Nuland, Kimberley Kagan and so forth in alleging US/NATO manipulations regarding Maidan. But never seem to mention any non-Democrat folks in the process, despite 2002-2008 being Republican presidencies…
Funny how my saying exactly the same thing about opposition to the current US government but wanting to see Russian adventurism and attempts to occupy and destroy Ukraine checked, was subjected to all manner of opposition and denunciation from yourself and others.

I do a weekly shop for a charity at a Foodbank in Brisbane. Its fairly common for non-food things to cycle through. Over the past few months I’ve seen perfumes, body lotions, hair dyes, artist paint, kids toys, coat hangers, and crockery.
Apparently it usually lands at Foodbank as a part of a load of past use-by-date goods donated by one of the supermarket chains – so presumably a storeman somewhere says “Fuckit, let that one go too…”
It gets taken up eventually and presumably distributed, or sold off at charity opshops.
It can become a pain when you are shopping for food and limited pallet space is taken up by slow-moving non-food goods that sit there for weeks.
This doesn’t exist anywhere. No country as a matter of principle is free to choose their own way. Is Iran ‘free’ to develop nuclear weapons? Is Israel responding to Iran’s nuclear program with precision strikes ‘making excuses’?
Greens leader Adam Bandt has refused to stand next to the Australian flag, telling reporters it is a “hurtful” symbol to many Indigenous Australians.
A Greens staffer moved the flag out of view ahead of Mr Bandt’s press conference in Sydney on Monday.

“Through Treaty with First Nations’ People and by moving to a Republic, we can have a flag that represents all of us.”

Rex, I’ve enjoyed your comments on Ukraine. It has been refreshing to have a different perspective on the issue.
I don’t see why you have to stop just because you and Dover disagree. It isn’t a hanging offence to think differently. The last thing we want here is everyone patting each other on the back and nodding wisely regardless of some glaring inconsistencies.
For myself, the whole thing is so complex that I’m forced to go back to a simple principle – Don’t invade your neighbour. It is wrong.

I do confess to doing this at least once.
It is very hard to achieve with just a single note horn…
The rationale that the FDA and CDC give for continuing to promote the emergency use of vaccines is truly bizarre. Last year a supervisor, Brook Jackson, was dismissed by her RCT (Randomised Clinical Trial) employer (Ventavia) when she disclosed that data provided to Pfizer was “unblinded”, in addition to other sloppy procedures. When Jackson brought a case of unfair dismissal before the court, her employer argued that “fraud” had not been committed because the client knew about the unblinding!!!!
This court proceeding SHOULD bring down the whole pack of cards – but, given the horrific deterioration of the standards of probity at the highest levels – it probably won’t. But this lady – Brook Jackson – deserves a medal. She has stood up when most others have fled the field.
They breed ’em weird in Melbourne:
The identity of the alleged grave robber accused of stealing human remains from a Footscray cemetery has been unmasked for the first time.
The Herald Sun can also reveal Spotswood man Tristan Hearne, 40, previously posted images online showing an interest in graves, skulls, vampires, ghosts and zombies.
Mr Hearne was charged in March by detectives over the alleged disturbance of two grave sites in Footscray earlier this year, it can be revealed.
The Herald Sun understands one human skull was found inside his bedroom, while another was buried in a garden bed outside the Mary St home he was renting a room at.
It can also be revealed the man was working as an Uber driver at the time of the alleged grave thefts.
Disturbing social media content provides new insights into Mr Hearne’s interests and state of mind in the years leading up to the alleged thefts.
In September 2020 he posted an image online from Shakespeare’s Hamlet involving a skull with the caption: “This above all: to thine own self be true”.
The skull is used in the iconic play as a symbol to portray the futility of life and inevitability of death.
Mr Hearne also posted dozens of photos he had taken from a visit to Kew’s Boroondara General Cemetery in May 2020.
He left a review online following the excursion saying it was “beautiful, enchanting and very special”.
He has also posted online about his love for the 1980s movie Vampire Hunter D as well as books from his childhood including “Usborne Guide to the Supernatural World” which featured a skull on the cover and “The World of the Unknown Ghosts”.
Mr Hearne was charged with six offences including two counts of removing body parts from the corpse of a human being, exhuming or removing human remains from place of interment and criminal damage.
Maribyrnong Crime Investigation unit detectives allege human heads were stolen from mausoleums in two separate incidents at Footscray General Cemetery between January 27 and February 1.
Mr Hearne has not been linked to either of the victims, whose mausoleums were left badly damaged and coffins open in plain view of mourners.
His landlord declined to comment but it is understood she ordered Mr Hearne to vacate the rental following his arrest.
Mr Hearne declined to comment and is due to face the Melbourne Magistrates’ Court on August 17.

The End
Never go full flounce, Rex.
Their actions in both cases prove my point. Iran has continued to pursue such things despite every effort to stop or slow them, and Israel could have been cowed by international pressure to be nice to all its Arab neighbours despite their provocations and attacks and not antagonise them by bombing the Osirak reactor in Iraq in 1981, but did so anyway.

Not directed at you specifically here John, but you reminded me. Turkey and Poland often get cited as being on Russia’s border, but there is a sea and Belarus respectively. They don’t directly share a border, there is a buffer there.
Alaska, well, two sparsely populated areas buffering each other. No doubt heavily monitored, but again, realistically there’s a buffer of the sparsely populated territory.
Rex, I can’t find much beyond individual accounts on that wartranslated site, is there one you can point me to like the Ukrainian ones where whole companies are on video refusing to fight? I read a couple of the claims about not getting rotated, and casualties, but I’ve also seen evidence the Russian units are regularly rotated.
I’m not dismissing out of hand the claims about Russia having trouble, but I am very skeptical because we have been lied to so much over the last few years. Anything that fits the correct narrative gets promoted, that which doesn’t, well, you’ve see how the covid stuff went.
I’ll add one last thing, this article made interesting reading. Fundamentally, the western world cannot fight a full scale conventional conflict. There’s just not the manufacturing capability. The implication for Australia is pretty dire, anyone remember the scratching for ammo for East Timor?
After all, mighty Struth (whom you say is right, of course) argued with the ‘reason’ and ‘logic’ you like by calling everyone every name he could imagine, declaring truths by assertion alone and dancing around and deflecting from everything he got called out on.
I’m still waiting for him to prove that Wellcamp, Howard Springs and that miserable little abandoned site in Melbourne that never saw a single patient were actually WEF-mandated death camps for the coof-unvaccinated.
So, I’ll stick to the schoolgirl-like arguments in which I make my case, cite evidence, challenge points and so forth.
I much prefer things that way… 🙂

Rex Anger, I haven’t followed the ins and outs of your squabble with Dover over Ukraine. I’ve cross swords with Dover in the past but have agreed to disagree (and to read his recommended books). On Ukraine, most people on the right with whom I talk about it are a bit bob-each-way on the issue of causation and rights and wrongs of the war, with a tendency to lean towards supporting Ukraine, because invaders are not generally well-intentioned people. See, for eg, Calli’s comment above taking this line too.
Others whom I like and know personally, non-left people such as Hairy’s barrister friend in the UK, are busy taking Uke refugees into their houses and running battle equipment secretely into Ukraine. I’ve commented on Russian expansionism on Quadrant Online early on but now find myself completely confused over it all as more information comes out about East Ukraine’s Russian heritage. I’ve always supported Russia’s right to Crimea. This complex war is certainly not worth creating bad feelings with others here, especially the site owner.

Sky News’s story about the hurty flag is here.

Rex Anger, I haven’t followed the ins and outs of your squabble with Dover over Ukraine.
Franger is a troll.
That’s all you need to know.
