Unless the dreams are about running. That would be a stuff-up.

Not. Floating and charging in neighborehoods not existed in since the childhood.

Then waking up occurs and it’s back to the weekly drudgery.

Running is like dancing, when engaged in it, you are utterly bereft of life’s banal idiocies …

Missus just got informed: PCR +ve. Slight chesty cough for the last few days. Slight improvement from initial symptoms. Myself RATS -ve. Took next week off since Son & Grandson are visiting from Danistan… now they are going to stay with a friend. He’s a tragic for govt advice plus works in a hospital so no bending the rules. Oh well, looks like I’ll spend the week cleaning grout whilst the missus is confined to quarters for 7 days. Might even install uber eats. I have to RATS each time I go out. Thanks McKlown.

Burnt my bridges with the missus re my view about the whole shamozzle… just get the death stare if I start to say co… or suggest the Zelenko protocol. A little experimental trial as to my robustness as I have been taking D3 & multi vitamins for the past three months or so. Popped the od Z-Stack as well as the occasional swig of (medicinal) spirits.

The crappy thing is I then have to go into an already scheduled work related 10 day hotel quarantine Starting August 2nd.

Agree with Maters comment on the movie The Gray Man. Good action, especially the city shoot out and tram scene.

Meanwhile just watched 1st episode of Terminal List and hope to finish the series by Monday.

In other breaking news, as per Courier Mail, Qld Police Commissioner has mandated 4th Vax for over 50’s and strongly recommended for over 30’s. Commentators are rightly asking what happened to the Supreme Court case that ended several weeks ago.

Grey Man is probably the second best made for Netflix movie after Extraction.
Dunno how much was CGI/unreal engine or green screen but some of those stunts were awesome.

New nasal spray from Germany made by Vicks may help you evade infection. My husband contracted mild dose of Covid a few months ago. I used this at least twice a day – morning & night & gargled with Betadine . I did not contract Covid. Worth trying, though may be a bit late.

Their ABC applauds a shit of an idea:

Gas getting too expensive? These people are making their own in their backyard

Around six years ago, Annett and Paul ditched city life in Sydney and moved to northern New South Wales, where they built an off-the-grid tiny house.

As part of that set-up, they installed a biogas food digester that they feed food scraps and toilet waste.

From that organic material, the system produces methane, which is fed by a line to a gas stove-top in their house.

“If you only use it for making coffee or tea you can use it every day but if you cook meals on it … we have to watch it a little bit.”

Stuffing foods scraps and poo into a rubber bag, letting it rot down, collecting the off-gas.

Bugperson heaven.

Technical note: Don’t try this at home. Biogas is about 30%-40% CO2 and will not burn reliably in household appliances. It also typically contains H2S at toxic levels which, when burned, will fill your living-pod with corrosive (and toxic) SO2.

From P’s link – Gerard Brennan’s obit by Fr Frank Brennan.

(Fr Brennan quotes from Gerard Brennan’s concurrent letter to a national newspaper about the 1971 state of emergency declared by the Bjelke-Petersen government during the all-white Springbok Rugby tour.)

“The fact remains that law and order are essential to a civilised community.

Law binds both the ruler and the ruled. The ruler who contemns the law can scarcely insist upon its observance by the ruled.

Each must obey the law in the appropriate way – the ruler, by exercising no more power than the law gives him, and by exercising that power honestly and fairly and with statesmanship; the ruled, by refraining from deliberate infringements of the laws properly enforced by the rulers.

Law and order are bilateral – if either side rejects law and order the other side is encouraged to do the same. The moral obligation of obedience is diminished.

When legitimate protest degenerates into unlawful disruption, governments are invited to assume powers of doubtful legality, and to condone unlawful actions by police. When governments do not exercise their powers honestly and fairly and with statesmanship, they invite disruptive expressions of protest. In either case both the rulers and the ruled attack the concept of law and order. Is it not time for both to examine their consciences?”

Reflected by what happened in Australia over the last two years – our rulers attacked the law.

Where is the Royal Commission and the other proper processes of the law to call to account the instigators of these illegal actions?

As a civilised country we may not ignore such transgressions of the law, for to do so invites the greater possibility that the law will be transgressed again.

(P, thank you for putting up – a wonderful obituary).

I gave you a scenario asking if you would still stand back if they were about to kill themselves.

I’m the sort of friend who wouldn’t.
And you are the sort of friend who would obviously be happy to let him choose to kill himself.
I used an example of hanging, but I could have used the example of letting people who want you dead inject you with an unknown substance…….no difference.
None whatsoever.

Until you can admit what you’ve done, they own your mind.
They own you.
You complied, and you will soon be in abject mental mysery trying to defend the lie.
You are now, but it’s going to get much worse as every day reality smacks you in the face like a cold fish and it gets harder to defend the lie.
Socialism (totalitarianism) needs you to live the lie.
You sacrificed your bodies.
But worse, you gave them your minds.

You get a chance to say they won against you in the first serious battle of the Great reset, but in living with the truth, you get to live in sanity and you can fight back.
We are at war.

From The Age

As the Roberts-Smith case nears its end, barrister returns to where he began: ‘Someone is lying.’
Deborah Snow
By Deborah Snow
July 23, 2022 — 5.00am

Closing the long arc of the Ben Roberts-Smith defamation case this week, Nicholas Owens, SC, barrister for Nine’s newspapers The Sydney Morning Herald and The Age, returned to the stark proposition he’d put at the beginning of hearings a year ago: that “someone is lying”.

So irreconcilable were the differences between the version of events put forward by Nine’s witnesses, and those of Roberts-Smith’s backers, they could not be explained away as “honest or innocent or otherwise unwitting differences in perception or recollection”, he said.

Indeed, Owens argued, not just one but multiple witnesses on the Roberts-Smith side had colluded, stitching up a false version of events to protect their friend, the once-storied war hero – a charge hotly denied by the soldier’s legal team.

If there seemed to be an air of deja vu about the proceedings this week, that was the point. This was the summing up, a last chance to press home the case for each side before the judge retires to consider the verdict, which may not come for many more months.

Owens held centre stage for much of the week, speaking – with barely a reference to notes – for hours each day, hands in constant motion as he methodically drew the threads of Nine’s case together, weaving back and forth across evidence elicited from more than 40 witnesses.

In the absence of a jury, this was about technical and forensic skill, not flights of oratory. The case in Sydney’s Federal Court will be determined by one man – presiding justice Anthony Besanko, who’s remained inscrutable throughout.

The lawyer for media outlets being sued for defamation by Ben Roberts-Smith has handed down a final pitch in the lengthy trial.

As ever, Roberts-Smith sat watching silently from the back of the court, with his parents once again in attendance.

Nine has set itself the task of proving the truth of its allegations. If Owens succeeds it will forever brand the Victoria Cross recipient a bully, a man capable of hitting a woman, and a murderer or facilitator of the murder of unarmed prisoners of war and therefore a war criminal.

Arthur Moses, SC, for Roberts-Smith, began an indignant counter-attack on Friday and will continue into next week seeking to demolish, piece by piece, Nine’s allegations.

The key contention of the soldier’s legal team remains that the media’s stories are the product of “years of character assassination by disgruntled members” of the SAS, who “fed” information to Nine’s investigative journalists Nick McKenzie and Chris Masters. The pair were not qualified war crimes investigators, Moses said. Nine instead carelessly portrayed Roberts-Smith as a “homicidal psychopath” through advancing a “fanciful and salacious case theory based on conjecture, speculation and imprecise testimony”.

Nine originally laid six killings at the feet of Roberts-Smith. Owens conceded this week that one of those murders (said to have taken place near the village of Siah Chow) can no longer be made out, owing to Besanko’s decision not to compel a key witness – Person 66 – to testify, because the man believed he might incriminate himself.

Owens had previously maintained that proving the Siah Chow murder alone would have given him an “independent path home to victory”.

That leaves five other killings which Owens is resting the murder allegations on.

These include the much-publicised allegation that Roberts-Smith kicked an unarmed villager named Ali Jan off a cliff in the village of Darwan in September 2012 before conspiring with another soldier, Person 11, to kill the man and plant a radio device on him, falsely branding him a spotter for the Taliban.

Also given top billing by Owens are the events which took place at an Afghan compound designated Whiskey 108 on Easter Sunday 2009. There, the media outlets say, Roberts-Smith was responsible for the slaying of two unarmed Afghan prisoners, machine-gunning one himself and ordering the shooting of another. One of the prisoners possessed an artificial leg, which was later bizarrely re-purposed by the SAS as a drinking vessel.

The fourth and fifth killings are alleged to have taken place at the villages of Fasil and Chenatu (also known as Chenar Tu) in Afghanistan in late 2012.

Despite the gravity of the allegations, Owens says because it is a civil case he only has to prove that, on the balance of probabilities, the events occurred as Nine has described.

But Moses has warned “it will not be good enough for the media to point to the evidence and say ‘we nearly got there’.”

Among the strongest elements of Nine’s defence are the military witnesses its legal team produced in relation to several of the deaths, corroborating details from other soldiers who were nearby at the time. Moses has sought to depict two of these military witnesses as liars.

Mark Latham talking sense again:

ABORIGINAL EDUCATION

In this trip through Western NSW it’s hard to know where to begin in describing the problems in Indigenous education.

The NAPLAN and other results are dismal, teacher and principal turnover is non-stop, classroom practice is bewildering, and learning engagement (offering vocational courses for teenagers disengaging from the academic curriculum) is often non-existent.

But the greatest failure, tragically, is in attendance rates. We have visited high schools where only one-third of the students were present, two-thirds missing for the day.

Obviously no one can get a good education if they don’t turn up regularly. Five years ago the NSW Government started an experiment with Indigenous-run schools, called Connected Communities, with the local Aboriginal leadership (AECG) in charge.

The theory was to make the schools so culturally sensitive and appealing that the students would be keen to attend and learn. This has been a hopeless failure.

We have heard plenty of excuses for the low attendance rates at the 5 Connected Community Schools visited but none of them stack up.

As a leader in Brewarrina said, “I know my family culture and that of my people, it’s my job to teach that to my children. The teachers at this school need to do their job in teaching literacy, science, history and vocational so one day my children get good qualifications and jobs. We waste too much time worrying about culture and politics at this school.”

He’s not a fan of Connected Communities (which started with 18 schools in NSW but has now doubled, some at schools with only 10% Indigenous students, although in Western NSW these are 85-98% Aboriginal schools).

It is said that Menindee near Broken Hill is a successful Indigenous-run school because the community there is united and plays a supportive rather than domineering role with the teachers. In Walgett the Aboriginal community is bitterly divided politically and once that embeds itself in the school, as it has, it becomes a disaster.

Walgett High School has the worst reputation in NSW due to the dreadful levels of violence, misbehaviour and chaos.

Families are leaving Walgett because they can’t send their children to the school. In Moree, problems at the high school are also holding back the whole town.

Minister Sarah Mitchell from the National Party has a heavy responsibility for the way in which her failed high schools are hurting country towns and people.
The solution?

Turn the schools back into being real schools, instead of cultural and political experiments.
Set disciplinary standards and expectations, and stick to them.
Pay the best school leaders and teachers to work in these schools.
Run vocational programs that engage every student with some form of learning.
Use the huge staffing levels (in some cases, a teacher for every 2-3 students on a school day) to reach into the Indigenous homes, going there, knocking on the door and providing personal tutoring if the kids don’t turn up at school.
Arrest and jail the drunk uncles, the sexual predators, who force many of the children onto the streets at night for safety reasons (and then the students sleep all day instead of going to school).

It’s an Australian tragedy to see what’s happened, how the cycle of intergenerational poverty and despair is perpetuated.
Answers are available. We need the leadership at all levels to save these kids and give them a decent life.

There is an important panel discussion re Covid, the vaccines & Paxlovid etc on “The Highwire” (https://thehighwire.com) – Dr. Robert Malone, Dr. Urso, and Dr. Pierre Kory.

They discuss the treatments – especially Paxlovid. Significantly also, Malone thinks that the current direction of the Covid infections suggests repeated chronic infections, rather than the evolutionary direction predicted by Geert VanDen Bossche. Not surprisingly, this has upset VanDen Boscche – though this is not discussed on the panel.

But this is compelling viewing for those who want to keep up to speed re where this is heading.

Struth,
Normally I’d not reply, but I’ll make an exception here.
You make the claim that anyone who was vaccinated swallowed the government line about it’s safety. Anyone is welcome to go back and read my posts on this topic. It’d be a brave or blind man who makes that claim about me.

You weren’t in Victoria. You are chanting from the cheap seats. Very few working age people in this state could weave their way through the meat grinder without terminally damaging or destroying their family and loved ones.

Most of the people you are abusing don’t need to be convinced about the experimental nature of the vaccines, the long term risks or the evil of the coercive nature with which they were injected.

People had to make a choice between two evils. Most choose to mitigate the most immediate threat. I don’t know anyone (of working age and with children) who managed to escape the net down here. I know plenty who tried, plenty who sacrificed a great deal to resist…for as long as practical. I know men who lost their jobs over it, yet we’re still forced to succumb in due course. Anyone who has escaped it is likely to have a tale of a unique quirk which has allowed it to happen.

Do you think the men in the second or third waves at The Nek didn’t know they would be a corpse in a matter of minutes? They went over the top anyway. Sometimes we have to make rotten choices, and the sacrifices which accompany them.

I know I’ve got this shit in my veins, and I’m not convinced it was a good thing for my ongoing health, but I haven’t given up the fight. Continuing to abuse people for what is done, is illogical. Given that most here had little say in it, it borders on pathological.

I know some here supported the lockdowns and/or vaccine. I remember who they are. I treat their ongoing comments with the respect they deserve (in that light). People are waking up, the politicians have made this clear. If they weren’t, we’d already be back in lockdown with widespread mandates for the boosters.

The ongoing rancour is unnecessary.

Experts clueless:

‘In May 2021, Australia’s chief medical officer, Prof Paul Kelly, described how Covid vaccines were our “ticket out of the pandemic”. Vaccination, he said, would give Australians “a life with more certainty”.

More than one year later, Australia’s Covid-19 vaccination rate is among the highest in the world.

Yet daily deaths from the virus remain in the double-digits. Hospitals are overwhelmed, aged care homes and the most vulnerable are struggling with outbreaks, and there is again debate about whether more social restrictions, including mask mandates, are needed to curb virus spread.

People wearing masks walk along a street in Melbourne, Australia
Why are there so many Omicron subvariants and why have BA.4 and BA.5 taken hold?

Infectious diseases expert and director of the Doherty Institute, Prof Sharon Lewin, said: “Last year, I definitely did not think we would be in this position.”

“I definitely thought that with very high vaccination rates and what we knew about Covid vaccination and protection against disease from other variants, it would put us in very good stead.”

Just get bed rest, sunshine, supplements and reasonable amounts of herbal and pharmaceutical drugs.

The common cold. Easy to treat, including ‘Rona.

The following article discusses carrageenan, the active ingredient matrix in Irish Moss.

Carrageenan is a “family” of sulfonated sugars present in the “seaweed” (algae) we know as red/Irish moss.

From 2014.

Published: 12 November 2014
Carrageenan nasal spray in virus confirmed common cold: individual patient data analysis of two randomized controlled trials

Martin Koenighofer, Thomas Lion, …Tamás Fazekas Show authors
Multidisciplinary Respiratory Medicine volume 9, Article number: 57 (2014)

Results
Carrageenan treated patients showed a significant reduction in duration of disease of almost 2 days (p?<?0.05) as well as significantly fewer relapses during 21 days of observation period (p?<?0.05). The virus clearance between visit 1 and visit 2 was significantly more pronounced in the carrageenan group (p?<?0.05). In both studies, virus-confirmed common cold was caused by three main virus subtypes: human rhinovirus (46%), human coronavirus (25%) and influenza A (14%) virus. Carrageenan nasal spray showed significant antiviral efficacy in all three virus subgroups, the highest effectiveness was observed in human corona virus-infected patients. The reduced duration of disease was 3 days (p?<?0.01) and the number of relapses was three times less (p?<?0.01) in carrageenan treated corona-virus-infected patients compared to control patients.

Conclusions
Administration of carrageenan nasal spray in children as well as in adults suffering from virus-confirmed common cold reduced duration of disease, increased viral clearance and reduced relapses of symptoms. Carrageenan nasal spray appeared as an effective treatment of common cold in children and adults.

Unfortunately, some ignorant people want carrageenan to be banned in the EU.

Wait until they find out about eating too much protein.

You do realise that many of you are only now coming to conclusions that were presented to you nearly two years ago regarding the vaccine, and over two years ago as to what this really was all about.

If I get this right, Struth is claiming the lone voice of prophesy.

My memory of how things unfolded on the Sinc Cat is quite different. I’m an irregular poster and don’t roost here, but I distinctly recall that, when Covid first became a thing in early 2020, there were extensive Cat discussions about:

• The outcomes from Wuhan: people collapsing at the threshold of hospitals was theatre to protect the CCP.

• The WHO is/was a Xi puppet – and government health responses were cartoonish. Wash your hands while singing Happy Birthday twice?

• The outcomes from China and Italy: WuPox is a threat to the elderly;

• The NSW cruise ship debacle and the CHO duck up model;

• Transmissibility modelling and the R number. The conclusion: as with flu, herd immunity was a chimera;

• Likewise the ‘flatten the curve’ strategy was, from a mathematical perspective, a policy fantasy;

• Also likewise, shutting the economy down to protect a few thousand very elderly was not sustainable.

Then, when expedited vaccines became a thing, further extensive Cat discussions about:

• How do you rush a new vaccine against a shape shifting coronavirus?

• Is a 30,000 sample effective testing?

• How could a 60% effective vaccine be expected to create herd immunity?

Then, in late 2020, when the EU started to talk about vaccine passports:

• A full-on discussion about the fascist state – and how Australia’s fall into a series of closed States would facilitate that here.

• When Morrison hopped on the bandwagon ‘as mandatory as possible’ – a huge discussion on how’s that going to work.

• What was the uptake likely to be – and what sort of coercive powers would be necessary to achieve (90%?) vaccination.

• And so on.

In short, the Cat as a whole (in it’s usual chaotic way) canavassed the unfolding Covid debacle very comprehensively – and was well ahead of the curve on most technical and political issues.

There most certainly wasn’t a gently mooing herd, milling around the slaughter house door, being harangued by a lone visionary.

No-one here told anyone here (sinc did) to get the vaccine, though I’m guessing the majority,in fact, did, whether because they were in the at risk category and judged it prudent, did so to visit family or retain employment or for any other reason.
If that’s ‘supporting’ the vax whatever, I don’t care.
I welcomed a vaccine percentage as a path out of Andrews insane lockdown strategy, didn’t envisage, though I should have, he would introduce a required percentage that would only be reached by introducing mandates.
Still I didn’t vote for him, never have and never would, so don’t feel any responsibility.

Does this mean that the unjabbed, like me, who have had Omicron should be exempt from vaccine passports?

Two new interesting studies out of Qatar in the last month show that natural immunity against Covid is better than recent headlines suggest, and also that (as expected) immunity created from a real infection lasts about three years whereas vaccine immunity may “last only one” (at best, and if that).*

Although people who caught early variants (up to Delta) are only 28% protected against catching the latest Omicron BA5, people who have caught some form of Omicron itself already may have 75 – 80% protection. And what really matters is that everyone who has caught any form of Covid has “robust” protection against severe disease.

Mater
July 23, 2022 10:41 am

Where is the win, Mater?

My comments about The Nek are obviously being misinterpreted, so let me tell you a true story.

I know this man (and I know him well) who is single and has two grown daughters. His attitude towards Covid and the vaccine are completely aligned with, and every bit as passionate as Struth’s.

Both his daughters are single, but they have financial commitments (like everyone). Both daughters were thrown out of work due to not getting vaccinated. They were on their last legs financially, and contemplating getting the jab, when Dad stepped up to get the jab so he could continue to work (trade), and pay both their bills. He has managed to steer his daughters through the mess without them being vaccinated.

He was/is justifiably concerned about fertility issues in young, vaccinated women.

He put his daughters wellbeing, and potentially their future, before his own health and principles.

I see this as incredibly commendable and selfless. He was forced to make a choice.
Ongoing rancour towards anyone who got stabbed, does an incredible disservice to such people.

Struth
July 23, 2022 10:41 am

Struth has fallen into the exactly trap the same trap as those who had to comply with getting the jab.
Fighting the WRONG targets (most people here) is precisely what will prevent the necessary accountability for what has happened in the last 2.5 years to “flatten the curve.”

You’ve got to be accountable for your own actions before you look at others.
I’m not fighting people here.
It’s just some are useless for the fight while in denial.

Mater has got the brains and strength of character to realise in hindsight, now the reports on who’s getting sick and dying (and it’s all the jabbed) SADS….FFS……to be getting angry.

He and those like him will realise they made a very fucking big mistake, and will look back and say “what was I thinking, nothing is worth this misery”
If he’s still alive.
I understand that is a harsh thing to say,…of course I do, but to prosecute the argument and to emphasis the true gravity of the situation, …..these people at war with us are not fucking around.
It’s the dribbling, arrogant cretins who will never admit their faults, never admit what has happened and are lost in this covid insanity still, unable to separate truth from lies….because they don’t want to, these are the people holding the others back.

A handful of others and myself have been yelling fire for two years and have been scoffed at, and now people can see the flames for themselves.
Facts are facts.
These injections are going to make you extremely sick.
Many will die.
Millions already have…..one year down the track…….only in the first year.

So the question is….
Are you going down in delusion without a fight?

Are you going to let them starve us out, and accept the reasons they offer for doing so?
Are you going to go without fuel food and medicine and blame Putin?
While still denying the WEF and Klaus Schwab?

If you cannot accept these people are at war with us, just maybe it’s because you’d then have to accept you took a jab from them, and all that then entails.
Smart move on their part, you have to give them that.
I really feel for you….that is, and would be mind blowingly difficult to accept.
But in doing so comes sanity, and freedom.
Facts are facts.
This will sound cruel but the message is liberating.
Even if you have given them your body……and you don’t know how long you have….none of us do……never let them have your minds.
They owned your mind when you let them jab you.
Get your minds back.
People are insane all around you, but if you are not, you are free.
You might be sad, depressed, etc at the state of the world but you’ll be free in the knowledge they don’t own you.
They can’t manipulate you.
Freedom.

That’s all I want to say.

Much talk on the old fred about one Steven Cleary taking to Plod with a baseball bat.
Let’s be clear, I am no fan of VikPlod.
But Cleary is not someone you want to be putting on a pedestal, according to trusted sources on the innernet (my cousin on FB who lives down that way).
Hair trigger lunatic.
Things which cause him to go off:-
.1 Neighbours playing music “too loud”. (Neighbours playing anything at 7 p.m).
.2 Neighbours complaining about him playing weird noises at volume eleventy at 2 a.m.
.3 People occupying “his” barstool/parking spot/whatever. By “his”, we mean him turning up ten minutes after the event and deciding that’s the one he wants.
.4 The postie who puts letters in the letterbox from “the authorities”.
.5 The rest of the world.
And when I say “go off”, refer to the video.
There is also a picture of a sign on his gate in which he proclaims himself “King Steven”. Batshit crazy SovCit stuff.
Opinion is divided as to whether he is genuinely mentally ill, or whether it is confected to deflect attention from his shitty behaviour.
He does stand (or fall if necessary) though, rather than just talk about it.

Why are there so many Omicron subvariants and why have BA.4 and BA.5 taken hold?

All the experts are “winging it”, but Malone reckons that Omicron was not a variant of Delta at all.
So why are the BA 4 & 5 “variants” taking hold now? My partly educated “take” on his explanation is that the vaccines have severely compromised the immune systems of the vaccinated. I havnt read the two latest Qatar studies, but I understand that is what they are indicating.

This is why it is likely that the unvaccinated ( if they have robust immune systems) are unlikely to routinely contract these variants.

Has he started distributing white feathers yet?

Calli, this is just one of the many questions that I think it will take some time to answer.

It is the same with adverse reactions to the vaccines. Many people have had varying degrees of responses – as they have been reported by our own Cats on this blog. My own granddaughter had almost immediate unexplained upper intestinal bleeding that an endoscopy could not explain.

Malone, Yeodan and others believe that particular vaccine batches were responsible for severe reactions. Others think that failure to aspirate caused some injections to travel beyond the deltoid muscle and into organs. Who knows?

It has been over 12 months since the first candidates were innoculated in Australia. Some of the FLCCC physicians think that by 12 months the spike protein will no longer have an effect on the body. For this reason, if you are healthy, you should not be affected by the current surge in flus & other viruses.

If my immune system is so severely compromised, why am I not sick? I should be vulnerable to everything and anything going around.

Calli – Only the T lymphocytes that bind with the vaccine spike seem to be killed off. They, though, appear to be the ones built up by the immune system after past coronavirus infections: and are the first responders who squelch a nascent infection before it gets going. So losing that population of lymphocytes would make you more vulnerable to the coof, but not to other viruses with different coat proteins, to which a different population of lymphocytes binds to.

So yes there seems to be a mild acquired immunodeficiency from the vaccines, but only against similar viruses. If people stop getting boosters I suspect that will revert over time as the T cells are reconstituted.

The vaccines do however produce antibodies, which are the other pathway to immunity. Unfortunately those antibodies seem to decay away much more rapidly than other ones – eg polio or tetanus ones.

Struth said “I’m not fighting people here” which is hilarious. He literally comes here every day to insult people over their decisions. Mention you took the jab to visit your elderly father or keep a job and you can guarantee he will jump in to berate you. It is deranged behaviour.

I liked Maters original post regarding Struth as said it so well. The father story was good to hear about.

I had a conversation earlier today that indicates the problem. Guy says we were never told the Vax would prevent the virus. I say I can forward him clips with Biden, Fauci and head of CDC saying just that. Does not want to know and still thinks he is right. Previously telling me how corrupt Trump was but never heard of Hunter laptop. Simply can’t tell people like that. He has happily vaxxed his teenage boy but has no idea the kid has more chance to be injured by Vax than the virus.

The Government has been able to convince people by coercion and by the fact most people consume little news and not bothered to research. I find the total lack of interest and knowledge by some staggering.

We’ve used Nasalite cream – a mix of antiseptic and mild corticosteroid – on flights occasionally, to help keep nasal passages in good order. Also as a preventative against bacterial and viral attack. Seems to work. My ENT specialist told me to use it post his burn-off in my nose.

It is over-the-counter stuff. A specific anti-viral may be better, but I suspect many other nasal sprays etc would also be useful.

Home remedies can work well for many colds. Friar’s Balsam inhalations are excellent, for example, in steaming hot water with your head under a towel.

I put up a link on the OOT – that was on the Highwire – a discussion with Pierre Kory, Robert Malone and Richard Urso. The whole thing is well worth watching – about 40 min iirc. At one point there’s a link to testimony from Deborah Birx – the blonde, scarf wearing doctor who was at all(?) the pressers with Fauci and Trump in 2020 – taken before the House Hearing on the Trump Administration’s Covid-19 Response on 23/6/22.

She was asked by Jim Jordan (R-OH), the following question:

‘…you’re an expert, you were on the taskforce, you were part of this effort when you were in the previous administration and you’re saying to this administration that you can’t rule out the fact that our government was lying to us when they they told us that the vaccinated could not get the virus’.

Birx: ‘I don’t know about their discussions that they had in the taskforce. So I can’t tell you that, I can tell you as a family member who had individuals that were susceptible that of course we got everybody vaccinated, but we still used layered protection during surges. Because I knew potentially the vaccine immunity would wane like natural immunity waned, and there was evidence that every four months, re-infection was occurring in South Africa’.

Jordan: ‘…When the government told us that the vaccinated couldn’t transmit it, was that a lie or was that a guess?’ Or it the same answer?’

Birx: ‘I think it was hope, that the vaccine would work in that way, and that’s why I think scientists and public health leaders always have to be at the people being very clear what we know and what we don’t know…’

Jordan: ‘But this is very important for the country to know, so when I ask the question that the vaccinated couldn’t get it, and I asked you if it was a guess or a lie, you said you didn’t know, you said you think it was a hope. So what we do know it wasn’t the truth, so they were either guessing, lying or hoping and communicating that information to the citizens of this country’.

Birx: ‘I think they were hoping, but you should know in those original phase three trials, that were done in this country, that we only measured for symptomatic disease. So we weren’t proactively testing everybody in those trials to see if they got infected with mild or asymptomatic disease, and so people had to present within the clinical trials. So we never had the data that it was going to protect against asymptomatic infection’.
Jordan: ‘I’m just struck with the irony. We’ve got government agencies, guessing, hoping or lying, with the information that they’re presenting to the American people, and this is the same administration that wants to set up the disinformation governance board and wants to talk about misinformation and they’re the biggest purveyors of misinformation, false information, hopeful information, but not accurate and true information…’

The back to the discussion and Del Bigtree, on the High Wire:

Bigtree:

‘what she’s admitting here…and we could forgive it if they had been forthcoming the entire time saying, “we’re doing the best we can, we want all hands on deck…let’s all get together and see what’s the best way forward”. But they didn’t do that, what they said is “you need to have your licence revoked if you decide to question anything that we’re been doing”.

So “we didn’t know, we were doing the best we could”. No, no, you were much worse that that, while you didn’t know you attacked those that maybe did know, that did have ways forward, that did have answers…so now you don’t get to say, “oh, well, we never tested to see if it would go beyond just stopping symptoms, whether it would actually stop infection”. But you made everyone in the country and around the world take this to protect each other, which was the lie, it was never going to protect my neighbours, in fact it was going to create a bigger issue.”

Robert Malone: ‘…they have been lying, and lying and lying and lying. There is multiple layers of fraud going on. What Debbie has just disclosed in this video backs testimony she gave previously saying that all they had was hope. Yet they’re trying to get away with the fact that there were multiple misrepresentations that this vaccine could get us to herd immunity. We’ve all seen the clips, we’ve all heard Dr Fauci and his ratchetting down about that. But it’s deeper than this…the recent EUA [Emergency Use Authorisations] renewals…what I saw is the latest EUA … they are still signing off that their are no alternative treatments…’

Thorium reactor?

First, secure your stash of thorium…..

BEFORE WW2, the German Post Office was running a significant atomic research project. Much of this was centered around Berlin, but traces pop up in the part of Poland now called Silizia, but which in the “good old days”, was part of “East Prussia”. Bits of it remain visible, to this day. Basically a three to four metre open-topped cube. Steel reinforced concrete wall about 30 cm thick. Filled with WATER. The top of these (and there were several) reactors was covered by a timber “hut” which housed monitoring equipment and some measure of “camouflage”. The “containment” was about the size of your basic old metal rubbish bin and there was a hoist of sorts to “adjust” the core. The exterior of the concrete walls was covered by heavy sand ramped up on all sides.

If you think that is not agricultural enough, The original Manhattan Project pile was built in a space under a sports arena stadium and used baulks of TIMBER for ‘”screening” outside the water bath. The usual suspects are STILL disseminating Soviet anti-Nuke propaganda from the 1950s. Ably and WILLINGLY aided by the entire LSM and most of Hackademia.

Today’s Sydney races at Randwick abandoned due to the autumn deluge that never stopped.

The drawn Freo/Richmond match last night was a beauty. 1 minute to go, any score to win and the Richmond player goes back to take his kick at goal, runs out of time so the umpy blows the whistle, puts him off the kick which gets smothered.

Some buggerising around, still any score to win and a young Richmond player takes a mark near goal just before the siren, doesn’t go back to take a shot but immediately plays on and as he does the siren sounds, game over no score.

Match drawn.

Princesses are getting into strife quite a lot lately.

Coral Princess stranded off Brisbane (23 Jul)

Thousands of passengers are stranded aboard the Coral Princess cruise ship unable to dock in Brisbane due to wild weather. Waves of up to 6.5 metres have been recorded in the harbour – preventing the vessel from coming into shore.

I remember when another shipping line was in similar woes. We unkindly called them Regurgitation Of The Seas after several bouts of the trots went around their passenger manifests. With a swell like Brissie is getting the Coral Princess passengers may be chundering enthusiastically too.

Struth said “I’m not fighting people here” which is hilarious. He literally comes here every day to insult people over their decisions. Mention you took the jab to visit your elderly father or keep a job and you can guarantee he will jump in to berate you. It is deranged behaviour.

So is letting the government jab you to death.
You might expect people to make uncomplimentary observations regarding such insane behaviour.
But not turtle head here.
