Well, according to Liberal Party elites, people like James Allan, myself and others here should not criticise the Liberals. According to Peter Dutton, we’re extreme right and washed up PHON and UAP voters and according to Nick Cater we must move on from the last nine years.

James Allen’s excellent summary also accurately reflects the course of discussion at the Old Cat as 2020 unfolded.

The points being that:

a) no mad Nostradamus skills were needed to predict the fuckup trajectory – it was there for everyone to see as it unfolded;

b) this conclusion was based on straightforward observation of what was happening in the world of infection – not [spooky music] Extreme Right Wing Ideology.

Which was presumably why Team Albo shut up and let Scummo get on with destroying the Liberal Party as a governing option.

To my surprise I find I’ve given a dickless uptick to one of indolent’s links.

I am just going outside and may be some time.

This is a fundamental point which they knew, but lied to us about

Certainly chilling what has happened in the yookay. Reminds me of when cranky Frankie took over in the Vatican.

Is that why older people get free annual flu shots, need covid boosters but are still more likely to succumb to flu/covid anyhow,

It should be obvious by now that vaccination cannot protect people with poor immune systems from rapidly changing, highly infectious viruses because they simply mutate around any short term protection provided. Your immune system is a dynamic thing which needs regular exercise to keep it fighting fit and up to date with what ever threats are out there. This would be true of the COVID even if they worked as intended, and there is now a mountain of evidence that they dont. Looking back, same same was always true for the Fluvax too – my seatbelt does not protect grandma in the crash.

And doesn’t that make the covid vaccines real vaccines, albeit ones that reduce in efficacy too quickly?

No – another name for vaccines is ‘immunisations’ – because they provide immunity – they stop you getting the disease at all. Agents which only modify disease severity are therapeutics. By that metric, if the COVID shots are vaccines, so too is Panadol. That is why I use the spelling ‘vaxxine’ for the COVID shots.

Then, it was discovered in children and domestic pets, and the Cone of Silence descended.

There’s the guts of it – it looked like the weirdos were including children and animals in their bedroom antics – now it’s obvious it isn’t the children and Fido.
As we said would happen and the familial spread of monkeypox suddenly became obvious, so to the forgettery with you.

“Real vaccines work by stimulating the immune system – for that reason, they don’t work well in people with poor immune systems, ie the elderly, chronically sick, malnourished, on immunosuppressant medications, diabetics etc etc etc”
Is that why older people get free annual flu shots, need covid boosters but are still more likely to succumb to flu/covid anyhow, because there is always a limit to what vaccination can do for people with seriously compromised immune systems?

War is, after all, simply “politics by other means” – Clausewitz.

I rather suspect the present generations preoccupation with MKR and ‘Farmer wants a root’ is why they are so easily lead. I credit my 50+ years of reading of history with allowing me to see through the COVID campaign so quickly.

I also left the phone at home when I was running the gauntlet of the Gauleiters- also carried cash only.

Amateur, I carried an old one with a broken screen and no battery – if ever challenged by Popo to show my nazi pass, I was going to pull it out, fumble it, drop it, pick it up and say ‘shit I just broke it’.

That was, until an IT friend showed me how you could just scan the QR code but not press ‘send’. This simply ‘parked’ the code but didnt sent it. Then, if ever challenged, you could pull it out and press send at that time.

I used to love watching sport. Can’t be bothered any more. Just about every code is now dead to me.

As for my club – Wolverhampton Wanderers whom I supported for over 50 years – I no longer care about them anymore (been 2 years plus now). They’re owned by a Chineses investment company and I flatly refuse to have anything to do with them.

I often feel the same way about the Club that I follow – Tottering Hotspur. Daniel Levy, the Club Chairman, seems more interested in just making money rather than being the Chairman of a Football Club that plays football. At least Spurs have British Owners.

The ADF is sending another 30 Bushmaster protected vehicles to Ukraine.

That brings the total to 90.

Lest do some back of the envelope maths, NBN style:

1) One Bushmaster costs 2.5 million, 90 cost $225 million
2) Transport to Ukraine at 4 per C17 at 18h one way x $25,000 per hour , doubled to include return trip = $900,000. Multiply by 90/4 = 23 trips = $21 million.

So, just to donate and deliver these vehicles is costing the taxpayer in the ballpark of a quarter of a billion dollars.

Now does the incentive for local ‘defence contractors’ to stir up war in far away places make sense?

As a comparison, the US lost over 5000 helicopters in Vietnam, and nearly 10,000 overall. Similarly, they lost over 400 just up to 2010 in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Its a familiar big war/big pharma/big food model – capture government to create a market to sell your harmful products, and if people get hurt, its just the cost of business no?

What’s the time span for the flu mutation making the flu shot ineffective. I’d also add that while a new strain comes onboard the old one would still be existence, no?

Given the high rate of mutation of such, often times the flu shots are obsolete even before they are released – some data show as little as 9% efficacy some years – and thats the lying corrupt figures they release!

And no, new respiratory virus strains usually rapidly supercede existing strains, which disappear, for example COVID – Wuhan (extinct) Alpha (extinct) Delta (extinct) Omicron – now onto about variant 4, with previous versions gone.

It makes a mockery of continuing to use the WUHAN spike template for all COVID vaxxes up until recently, and then only ADDING in a new antigen type, whilst CONTINUING to include the WUHAN spike mRNA in it – hence ‘bivalent’.

Jury discharged. Perhaps the charges should never have been (dare I say) laid?

I had to…once. The alternative was leaving my blinded father alone and scared in JH hospital while I stood on my dignity in the foyer. I never thought to simply write my name down.

Yes. I’m a collaborator.

Just in case it hasn’t been posted yet. “Jury discharged in Bruce Lehrmann after material entered the jury room that ought not to have”

But who?
I have no doubt that Dutton is a good and honest man, but he is not a leader and his submissiveness during the Morrison outrage calls into question his freedom credentials, and courage.
I can only think of Canavan (I know he is nominally a Nat) but you get the feeling that he prefers to be the sniper rather than leader of the charge.

Mea Culpa…should have read back up the page

I wonder what the “material” was and how it was delivered and by whom.

What’s your solution to blocked arteries if statins don’t work?

Due to the AHPRA nastiness, I am no longer a Dr, but Malcolm McKendricks 2 books, ‘The great cholesterol con’ and ‘The clot thickens’ cover this well.

In essence, he argues that vascular disease is caused by damage to the slippery lining of the vessels* (the endothelium), which is principally caused smoking, diabetes/metabolic ill health from carbs, high blood pressure etc. Unlike any other area of the body, however, when the lining is damaged, it can’t just heal by forming a clot because said clot would ultimately shed off and travel downstream where it would cause a stroke or other blockage. Instead, the clot is rapidly internalised by new endothelial cells growing over it. Said clot is then mopped up and removed by normal repair mechanisms unless it occurs too fast and too often, in which case, clot remnants remain and become inflamed. These clot remnants include cholesterol because red blood cells are full of it and this is where the cholesterol myth comes from. Note that *because* said cholesterol is NOT leaching into the vessel wall from the blood, it is irrelevant what your cholesterol number is and no amount of cholesterol lowering by food or drugs makes a jot of difference – and that doesnt even scratch the surface of the fact that cholesterol is not a poison, its a vital part of cell walls (which is why your cells make it) and you cant dick around with it without consequence, especially if the drugs you use to do it are poisonous themselves and all drugs are.

Ultimately, whatever accumulated vascular damage you have is a done deal, all you can do is modify your lifestyle to avoid further progression of the endothelial insults (stop smoking, stop eating carbs, get metabolically healthy, BMI under 25 etc. Once you do that, the existing damage calcifies over a few years and becomes stable. If y ou want to know what your existing level of coronary damage is, the best way is to get a ‘Cardiac Calcium scan’ done (costs a few hundred $, medicare dont pay, GP will fight you -would rather push a statin than actually measure if you need it). Said scan might tell you, at 60 years of age, that you have NO coronary disease, so they can shove their statins (this is why they dont want to do Calcium scans) or that you have a real issue you need to address as above.

You can then repeat the calcium scan yearly to check how you are doing.

The heart disease/cholesterol/statin scam was just an early iteration of big pharmas ‘create an invisible disease – diagnose by testing – put on meds for life’ business model. COVID and the COVAXXES is just the latest version.

* interestingly, expressing spike proteins on the surface of these lining cells also predisposes to clot formation and strokes!

An academic paper on sexual assault which did not form part of the evidence, whether it was being used to influence people to a guilty verdict or a not guilty verdict, it had no place in the jury room.

Of course it didn’t. It’s just another attempt to muddy already opaque waters.

No one is coming out of this smelling of roses.

Inside the unheard battle to delay the Bruce Lehrmann rape trial

Details of how an unheard battle was fought in an attempt to permanently delay Bruce Lehrmann’s rape trial have been revealed.

https://www.news.com.au/national/nsw-act/courts-law/how-scott-morrison-nearly-derailed-bruce-lehrmann-rape-trial/news-story/181cbb8ae68740bc89eb94ebca18014f

The stalemate was never going to be broken. The “believe all women” group against the “evidence only” adherents.

Handy that the court officer found that document.

They’ll have to curate the next jury far more carefully.

$160 mil jackpot.
That sum is definitely approaching FU money even in the thugs and fools economy.

The new ‘trial’ begins on 20 February.

Chief Justice McCallum closed the hearing with a warning to the media in the room, saying Mr Lehrmann was merely accused of a crime and might never be convicted.

“The fairness of his trial may be impaired if people continue to report on this case with this frequency,” she said.

“I would expect that, after reporting the outcome of the trial today, that reporting of this matter should fall silent, so that the accused should have a fair trial, and so that Ms Higgins should have some respite from the intense glare of the media that has been pervasive throughout this trial.”

Still pushing that “fair trial” horse – the one that bolted and died on the plains a year ago.

The court heard this prohibited research was uncovered when one of the court officers, who was cleaning the jury room, accidentally bumped one of the juror’s folders onto the floor.

When the officer picked up the folder, which had a clear plastic front, he noticed part of a title of an academic research paper into sexual assault sticking out of the folder

Bullsh*t on stilts.

If anyone believes that the court officer “accidentally” did anything, they are a complete fool. That the jurdge expects us to swallow it tells us all we need to know.

Exactly my reaction, “accidentally bumped one of the juror’s folders onto the floor.
When the officer picked up the folder, which had a clear plastic front, he noticed part of a title of an academic research paper into sexual assault sticking out of the folder”

just come on, how plausible is that?

“It has come to my attention that contrary to directions I’ve given you have undertaken research into the case,” Justice McCallum said.

No, just the wrong kind of research.
If so important, why aren’t they going through all jurors notes at the end of each day?

McCallum has ensured themselves a rails run for an Australia day honour.

On the topic of academic approaches to sexual offence trials, here is a little story.
It’s many years ago now that a conference of academics, attended also by a retired judge, considered the question of crime victims interests. The assumption was if course that these interests were to be assessed post-conviction. Some, and in particular the judge, were startled when an academic launched into a diatribe about how victims embraced complainants of rape and needed to be better protected on the trial. Only the judge made a mild query.
The academic’s view has however become widely accepted. Indeed, an ACT law refers to a complainant as a “victim”.
As I write, I hear Higgins making a speech outside the court which seems clearly to be in contempt of court.
What chance of a prosecution?

Meta shares plunged 19.1 per cent to US$105 in aftermarket trades, the price less than a third of what it was at the start of this year.

Rule of law is not a problem, but the law is an ass if it effectively prevents rape convictions without open-and-shut forensic evidence.

This stooge who brought in “research” about false rape allegations can get in the sea. What a waste of everyone’s time.

Duk on the giving of a false name, an old friend now departed always gave his name to the coppers as James O Brian. The O being for Oliver. He was always in some stoush at the pub being a fiery Scouser.

Because that’s the problem with abuse against children – the abusers never realise that the children will grow up into enraged adults. Just because the system has discarded you, doesn’t mean the discarded have forgotten how they were treated.

Yet the rabid leftards who can trace trauma 50 years later to seeing an adult “flash” in a park, refuse, absolutely, to consider the possibility that children who have been chemically and surgically mutilated will have future trauma, and seek revenge, not always by lawfare? Idiots, but by definition, since they are leftards.
