Where is the resident wowser with the “gamble responsibly” tag?
Just further to my comment re excess deaths:
To date Israel’s vaxx rate is 65.7% and Canada’s is 82.8%.
Israel’s rate is lower but more “excess deaths”, while Canada’s is higher.
Seems to me that the lockdowns and the medical/social fallout is the culprit here.
I’d love some of our resident number crunchers to have a go at this. I find figures other that P&L and trig start to swirl around in my brain. 😀
Good to see that Football Oz won’t be needing the “begging bowl” outside Gina’s door any time soon! We’re sending a team of 25 players to Qatar when the FIFA minimum is 21 so 4 blokes, not needed, get the 2 week’s holiday whilst we make up the 3 games only-there-for-the-numbers groups section …..
One of the best things after these mid-terms wrap up will be muting a range of accounts on twitter for six months or so.
Just like I mute a lot of league accounts in the off-season, it’s good to have a break from the content providers until it’s time to tune in again.
calli you are most likely right about Shorten as the brothers wouldn’t have put up with Labor shutting the country down. They didn’t care when the SFL did it coz of political suicide. It is still a choice of drowning or suffocation. We are so poorly served by politicians but this is our own fault.
This is undoubtedly timed to ‘drop’ ahead of the election in Victoria. However, it would appear that another of the Andrews Debacles is raising its ugly red head again (the Hun):
Normally this would be a ‘totes whatevs’ moment. But it would appear that someone, at least, has had a gutful and is pumping the whistle hard:
Now that, even for this government, is unheard of.
Promotions. Shane Patten, prior to his further elevation to Cheefa Po-Po signed off on the ‘nothing to see here’ final red shirts report.
His card would be stamped ‘reliable’, unlike that of the 33-year detective at the end of his career, and therefore without the carrot dangling in front of him.
If the Libs aren’t screaming the house down about this and the king-size buffet of things to sink Andrews with, they’re kidding themselves.
After retiring, a former Gunnery Sergeant in the Marine Corps took a new job a s a high school teacher. Just before the school year started, he injured his back.
He was required to wear a light plaster cast around the upper part of his body. Fortunately, the cast fit under his shirt and wasn’t noticeable when he wore his suit coat.
On the first day of class, he found himself assigned to the toughest students in the school. The smart-aleck punks, having already heard the new teacher was a former Marine, were leery of him and he knew they would be testing his discipline in the classroom.
Walking confidently into the rowdy classroom, the new teacher opened the window wide and sat down at his desk.
When a strong breeze made his tie flap, he picked up a stapler and stapled the tie to his chest.
Dead silence. The rest of the year went smoothly.
Anyone else noticing the trend creeping into in the media these dayz to inflate headline with superfluous clickbait? .. two that come to mid this week being the .. “muslim” family taking United Airlines to court after being booted from a flight .. nothing to do with being “muslim” .. just obnoxious to staff ..
and the Bobby Brown getz arrested over some “greenie” protest (usual stuff ..won’t-someone-think-of-the-birds waffle) but the headline(s) more concerned with him bumping into the “druggie’s moll’ in a restaurant dayz earlier .. nuttin’ at all to do wiv the “protest”

Just wondering if others on catallaxy have/are trying to get a myGovID which must be done before 30 November,2022. You cannot get the ID form on your laptop or computer it has to be on your mobile phone: If the question is asked if you can set up the myGovID on your laptop or computer – this is the answer given: No, a desktop version or browser-based version of myGovID will not be supported. To use myGovID, you will need your own compatible smart device. myGovID has been developed to: meet modern security standards (for example, multi-factor authentication)17 June 2021
Hunchback could murder people on the street and the Sheep Juicers would still vote for it.
Yeah, and Labor (through the kindness of their cold, communist hearts) paid back $388,000 despite ‘nothing to see here’.
Aren’t we all so willing to depart with money for no good reason?
What?
If you don’t gamble, you fade.
window licking morons; that will not get rid of Dan, the Greens will then be in a coalition with Labour
Right out of the socialist playbook: price controls and increased taxation to ‘fix’ a sector already hurting from prior government meddling (no, its not Putin’s fault).
Still – perhaps it will be ‘different this time’?
Both numbers sound a bit low – are they classifying vaxxed as ‘having had at least one shot’ as they should, or ‘having had every jab demanded – hence 4 or 5 now’?
Tinta-
yes, I’m trying to find a way through that briar patch now, I’ll let you know what works.
I’ve got absolutely no doubt that the MyGov ID and compulsory director registration are all of a part to wedge us into Trusted Digital Identity, and from there to microchipping.
Small point of order, I was once told by a Marine Gunny that there was no such thing as a former marine….
France Sliding toward Barbarity and Chaos
by Guy Millière
November 8, 2022 at 5:00 am
. Approximately 48% of all crimes committed in Paris in 2021, he notes, were committed by illegal immigrants. Murders almost as gruesome as Lola’s — most of which are committed by illegal immigrants — are committed nearly every day. No one even mentions them. The victims often have their throats slit.
. Maurice Berger, a psychiatrist, speaks of “gratuitous violence”: violence for no other reason than the pleasure of committing it. He reports that in France, gratuitous violence resulting in injury or death happens, on average, every two minutes. France reports more than two hundred rapes a day.
. In L’archipel français (“The French Archipelago”)… sociologist Jérome Fourquet writes of a French “collective nervous breakdown” and the “crumbling” of French society. He notes that the religious and historical moorings of the French people are disappearing: churches are empty, important moments in the country’s history are no longer taught in schools… France’s Muslim population, on the other hand, maintains its culture, customs and traditions, assimilates into French society less and less, and appears more and more filled with contempt and hatred for France…
. Speaking about a “great replacement” of the population in France is taboo. Anyone who does it is immediately demonized and described as a follower of conspiracy theories. But the numbers are clear… In addition to hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants already in France, approximately 400,000 more immigrants from Africa and the Arab world enter France each year. At the same time, hundreds of thousands of French people emigrate from France annually. In 2018, the most recent year for which figures are available, 270,000 French people left. Over the past 20 years, the number of French people living abroad has increased by 52%.
. Illegal immigrants in France are the perpetrators of nearly half of crimes committed in the country, according to the recently published L’ordre nécessaire (“The Necessary Order”), by Didier Lallement, former chief of the Paris Police. Approximately 48% of all crimes committed in Paris in 2021, he notes, were committed by illegal immigrants. Murders almost as gruesome as Lola’s — most of which are committed by illegal immigrants — are committed nearly every day. No one even mentions them. The victims often have their throats slit. When the mainstream media report on the murders, they do not talk about slit throats. They say the victim was “stabbed in the neck.”
Essayist Céline Pina writes that the murder of little Lola, the reactions of the murderer after the crime and the government’s attempt to impose silence about the event, mark another step in France’s slide towards collapse, barbarity and chaos:
Dr. Guy Millière, a professor at the University of Paris, is the author of 27 books on France and Europe.

Thanks for at least having a go at my comments on Sweden and excess deaths. I know many…many commenters are heavily invested in the vaxx = death scenario and I understand why.
It may be a whole lot more complicated than that.
Errr, did this scumbag close down our power stations?

Tintarella, Wally, Zulu,
Thank you for all the info/research re the my gov id.
Why do we have to be bullied, at every turn, into using a smart phone.
For people with ‘cognitive challenges’ this is a bewildering, scary and alienating scenario
There is evidence that Pfizer and Pfizer’s CEO Albert Bourla have corrupted government leaders worldwide. That this corruption is deep and wide.
The people have been lied to. It was a gigantic lie. And on this lie, everything that governments, especially in the Western democracies did to infringe on people’s rights, to take away their freedom, to lock them in their homes, imposing curfews, all of this was based on that gigantic lie.
Ursula von der Leyen, EU Commission president is now under a lot of pressure, and rightly so. The people have a right to know what went on in these contracts with her exchange of SMS with CEO Pfizer, Bourla. The people need to know who they can hold responsible and accountable for whatever may have gone on behind the scenes. Things are changing now, their house of cards is tumbling down, and it is doing so rightfully.
And you know what? One more thing though, I am sick and tired of being called a COV-idiot. And I’d much rather be a COV-idiot than being a GOV-idiot, because that’s what all these people that blindly trusted their governments turned out to be. And I will say it again, it was never, never, ever about public health, it was never about breaking any waves, it was always about breaking people. But, and that’s the good news, they failed. It didn’t work. And that I am very proud of, and I’m proud of the people that I am so honored to be allowed to represent. And I will continue to do just that. Thank you very much

Her grandmother, who lived in Yagoona and with whom she was very close, apparently hid her aboriginality. It was ‘safe for her’ to do so, since she had white skin. It was a dark secret within the family. Linda got quite emotional about the trauma of people questioning her aboriginality because of her complexion.

According to Sirkka Goebeler, the chief specialist of the Finnish Institute for Health and Welfare (THL), up to 40% of the fatalities attributed to Covid were not actually a result of the disease.
Goebeler, a leading specialist in forensic medicine, and her unit examined all death certificates before they were sent to the state statistics bureau. The total number of deaths attributed to Covid by the THL was over 6400. But the THL and Statistics Finland calculated the deaths differently.
According to Goebeler, out of almost 4000 deaths, Covid is listed as the primary cause. In 1600 cases Covid is listed as a contributing factor. However, in about 900 cases, even though the death was listed as Covid related, the actual death certificate didn’t list any indication of coronavirus infection.

Her great grandmother was a half-caste, so she only one of 16 great great grandparents was Aboriginal.
Given her hair colour and skin complexion, the only discrimination she is ever likely to have suffered would have been anti-ranga, or caused by her being aggressively “Aboriginal”, and thus annoying her friends.

Awaiting the return phone call with optimism.
Vis a vis myGovID for director ID I tried to do it by phone but my marriage certificate number is so faded on my rather frayed certificate to be almost illegible so they are sending iut a form I objected to having the app on my phone or ipad because if hacking/security concern so I am gaving the forms sent out I don’t know if you can just ring up and get the forms
In this case of this little black duk, always and forever….

Extract from yet another vax pushing article in todays Courier Mail :
Queensland has lowest booster and child vaccination rates for Covid-19 in the country amid fears of new wave
The Sunshine State has some of the lowest vaccination rates in the country leaving experts concerned about the impact it will have when the next wave hits.
Queensland has the lowest rate of eligible people boosted and children vaccinated against Covid-19 in the whole country as experts warn it will lead to a greater impact when the next wave hits.
Just 65.2 per cent of eligible Queenslanders have received their booster shot as of November 2, which is the lowest rate in Australia, according to recent vaccination data from the Australian Government.
This is compared to 83.5 per cent of those in Western Australia who’ve received their third dose of the vaccine, as well as 80.7 per cent of those in the Australian Capital Territory.
Queensland also has the lowest vaccination rate of those aged five to 15 years out of all the states and territories with just 52.8 per cent of children having one dose and 44.7 per cent having two doses.
Infectious diseases expert Dr Paul Griffin said relaxed messaging on how the state was dealing with the pandemic may have led to “complacency” from Queenslanders in regards to getting the jab.
“Having the lowest rates in the country does leave us susceptible to greater impacts than we should necessarily see when we have that virus in our population, just like we do at the moment,” he said.
Last week to November 2, Queensland recorded 105 people in hospital with Covid-19, including three in the ICU.
Meanwhile, 14 people had died from the virus over the course of the week.
Dr Griffin said he believes Queensland is already seeing a rise in cases in line with NSW and Victoria, however the lack of surveillance and reporting makes it difficult to tell what’s really happening.
“We’ve certainly started to see hospitalisations climb. We’re seeing patients in my practice more than we did a few weeks ago,” he said.
“It’s clear the numbers are increasing. It’s just that we have an under appreciation of that point because of the changes in testing particularly.”
If there were “Frontier Wars”, which regiments list these wars as battle honours?
while we don’t know for sure, this is the most likely possibility

The 99th Regiment of Foot, which was deployed to these parts from Moreton Bay to protect settlers who had come under attack from the local aboriginals armed with spears and rocks, lists the First Maori War (1846), The Second Opium War (Peking 1860) & the Anglo-Zulu War (1879) as battle honours, but not the action hereabouts. The so-called “Black War” in Tasmania 1824-31 was perhaps the most violent & organised confrontation on the Australian frontier, but the 40th Regiment of Foot, a highly decorated regiment which was involved, does not list the engagement among its many battle honours. A plausible conclusion is that these were regarded at the time as “police actions” to maintain order for which a declaration of war was not required.

Homosexuality is a damage in the mind, says World Cup envoy
By OLIVER MOODY
An official ambassador for the football World Cup in Qatar has described homosexuality as a form of “damage in the mind” during a German television interview, before he was swiftly cut off by a media adviser.
The Arab state, where homosexuality is punishable by up to three years in prison, has struggled to fend off criticism of its record on LGBT rights.
It has signalled that foreigners will be able to display symbols such as the rainbow flag during the tournament, but visiting fans have been warned against publicly violating its sexual mores.
Khalid Salman, a retired Qatari football star who is one of the ambassadors for the World Cup, underscored this tension with his remarks on gay rights.
In an interview with ZDF, a German public broadcaster, Salman, 60, acknowledged that “many things will come into this country” in the course of the tournament. “Let us talk about gay people, for example,” he said. “The most important thing is that everyone accepts they are coming here — and they would have to accept our rules.”
He added that he was worried Qatari children might see gay men and learn “something that is not good”. Asked why homosexuality was banned in his country, Salman said it was haram — an Arabic term meaning forbidden in Islamic law — and “a damage in the mind”.
His comments are likely to add to unease in the build-up to the World Cup, which begins on November 20. Critics including Sepp Blatter, the former FIFA president who oversaw the decision to award the tournament to Qatar, have raised concerns ranging from bribery of senior FIFA officials to the exploitation of migrants in building the stadiums.

riiiight … yet I cant move forward… and they cannot change how it works
the problem of course, is that there’s no problem
thankfully with “Standard” validation, the next step to attaining the DirectorsID only involved hunting down docco that allowed ATO to cross validate
The nice lady on the other end of the phone offered to change the name on the ATO record to match MyGovId.
I suggested Tuttle or Buttle might be appropriate choices

Any comment from Mr Mundine ?
Recycling is hilarious.
Supermarket recycling program suspended (Sky, 9 Nov)
So they were getting this stuff for free but it’s filled up all their warehouses? I suppose that means it’s actually worth less than zero. Ah well, just think of it as a tithing sacrifice to Gaia.
On the other hand they could burn all that plastic and get good money for the electricity produced. I wonder if they’ve thought of doing that instead?
In the Alice last night:
Police issued a public warning overnight urging people to avoid the Alice Springs CBD due to stolen vehicles driving “extremely dangerously”.
The situation also left officers with no choice but to pull out their resources and regroup after targeted ramming attempts on marked police cars.
It marked the first police evacuation of the town centre in memory, Southern Watch Commander Allan Millner said.
Commander Millner said the vehicle, a white Toyota Prado, was stolen from the ABC Radio building on Gap Road on Tuesday night.
“At 10.40pm there was a report of an intruder on premises,” Commander Millner said.
“Two units attended straight away but the intruder had taken off.
“We know they were youth due to CCTV.
“We believe they entered through an unsecured or unlocked door, but we’re not sure if that was unlocked by the youth.
“An unknown quantity of electrical items was also stolen, we think phones.”
Commander Millner said the Prado then went straight into the CBD.
“It was driving dangerously, and I mean really dangerously – driving on footpaths, showing off in front of mates,” Commander Millner said.
“It also attempted to ram a number of police vehicles which only narrowly missed our members and vehicles.
“We had to pull out all of our resources and regroup back at the station.
“We’ve never done that before.
”Because they were aiming solely at us and there were spectators around, it was an extremely dangerous situation.”
Commander Millner said sometime before 3.30am, two Toyota Hiluxs were also stolen in a commercial break-in on Kennett Court, Ciccone.
Those vehicles then linked up with the Prado in the CBD, resulting in further mayhem.
Police returned to set up road spikes, which were successful in slowing the Prado.
“It takes a while for those tyre deflations to work and they ended up driving the Prado around on its rims,” Commander Millner said.
When the vehicle came to a stop police were able to arrest five youths, all aged between 11 and 15.
The two Hilux utes were abandoned and the alleged offenders involved with those remain outstanding.
Better for “youths” to be not punished harshly, due to “raciiisssm” – much better for some pedestrian minding their own business to be killed.
Todd Woodbridge had a scam attack, possibly related to the recent Medicare breach.
He had an operation recently and, despite being sure all the bills were paid, he got a rapid succession of calls demanding payment for unpaid bills. They knew the details of his operation including type and hospital, presumably based on the leaked data.
The interview (3:46) is at https://www.3aw.com.au/todd-woodbridge-targeted-by-hackers-after-medibank-breach/ along with a further segment of background by Geoff Quattromani.
Three of the five were taken ‘home’.
Could it be something as simple and basic as this – right wing (read conservative) parties really don’t have clear goals to work to. It all seems rather hazy, with ‘traditional values’ and ‘minimal intervention’ and ‘lower taxes’, while the Left well and truly know what they want and they know how to get it. So right wing parties fight among themselves over who owns this elevated moral ground before being elected. Lefties always wait until they’re in power before the purges start.
Note: This is Min responding to Cassie. In order to post this, I simply made min’s comment a single paragraph. Got the internal server error message when ‘So right wing…’ started another para.
Mundine’s views on homosexuality are on the record.
I’m suprised he hasn’t been cancelled.
It seems being part indigenous & (a Muslim?) gets him a pass.
If it was war, since when do the losers get compensation?
It’s a long time since I heard those phrases from a Liberal politician.
Maybe that has something to do with it?
It’s the Uniparty crushing opposition from their right (not sure I’d term either the LDP or PHON “conservative” though).

Leaving aside the point that an increase in the money supply, not an increase in prices, is the real definition of inflation, from first principles (I have NO economic training), the interest rate equates to the rental price of money.
When you lend* someone your money, you are exposed to the risk of loss from several areas; (default, loss of purchasing power when returned etc) as well as the loss of the use of it yourself for the period of the loan. Thus, you need to be paid a certain premium to compensate you for those risks. If inflation takes, say 10% of your purchasing power away during the duration of the loan, you must get more than a 10% return on the loan to make a profit. Ergo, the cash rate MUST be higher than the inflation rate, or it incentivised the borrower to keep borrowing. More borrowing multiplies the money supply, which creates inflation.
* which of course, is not what banks do – they RENT you the money, and y ou have to pay for that – LENDING money is only the correct term when you give it to a mate or your kids.

Anthony Mundine says traditional Aboriginal beliefs are identical to Islam
Ah, now I understand. Beating the crap out of your wife and kids and still having an ‘I’m better than you’ attitude towards others is where they intersect.
I thought the best use of used plastic was to burn it at high temperature for energy? The economics of most recycling is generally a precarious balance of high volume, low value materials.

On a related topic – a good friend of mine (surgeon) says he has just seen his 6th ‘turbo cancer’ for the year (aggressive, highly spread at diagnosis), whereas the normal rate would be about one. Ryan Cole might have been right.
This was in the Oz this morning, not sure if anyone has posted it already. To say Sinodinos is an idiot is an understatement.
But Mr Sinodinos also lavished praise on Mr Biden, saying he was an incredibly hardworking leader who remained intellectually sharp.
Recalling Mr Biden’s performance at the recent Pacific Island Summit in Washington, Mr Sinodinos said the US President was on “top of his game” — fully engaged on all the relevant issues, charismatic and energetic.
“Just from my observations of him, on the number of times I’ve seen him, this bloke knows what he’s doing,” Mr Sinodinos said of Mr Biden.
“I don’t think he’s a dodderer. It’s a great narrative for some of the Republicans to run but I don’t think it’s a fair narrative.”
This man exemplifies everything that is wrong with the Liberals.
That HAS to be a pisstake!
(The Whitehouse was unavailable for comment – they called a lid at 0930 on election day)
Daily Mail:
Sydney residents say they’ve become the ‘dumping ground’ for the prime minister after the first group of ISIS brides and their children were rescued from a Syrian refugee camp and resettled in the west of the city.
Fairfield Mayor Frank Carbone, Liverpool Mayor Ned Mannoun, and Campbelltown Mayor George Greiss, all regions that recently welcomed the former Islamic State families, hit back at the federal government’s decision to put them in their electorates.
Solution: move them into federal government ministers’ electorates

What the hell is wrong with these people?
“If security was adequate, there would be no problem.”
Making a computer system secure is very difficult – unless it’s not in any way connected to the internet.
The biggest problem is that OS’s and servers normally come fully “open” and it’s YOUR job to “screw the lid down” appropriately. This is because most people want it to work “out of the box”.
If you are serious about security, and have to be connected to the internet, then you need several layers to protect yourself – a firewall with selective port forwarding, a DMZ, servers fully screwed down and then opened up barely enough to do what they have to and no more, chrooted server processes (containers are useful too), remote logs, “flood attack” (DoS and DDoS) mitigation etc etc. It’s a LOT of work to get right, and you will face a lot of resistance from (l)users, who always want some sort of exception to make their life easier, or because they absolutely “need” some service or another that they didn’t need yesterday, or “need” some content allowed despite the fact that it compromises the entire companies network security. It’s a never ending battle to be a “white hat” and keep the “black hats” out.

Our current immigration policy specifically prioritises low performance citizens from dysfunctional countries and cultures that hate us. This is no accident, the US and Europe do so also, Hanlon’s razor goes only so far.

Not earth shattering stuff, but interesting re the formatting into paragraphs. It seems the algorithm either doesn’t like too many paras…or, like me, doesn’t like sentences beginning with “So”. 😀

.4 Why would I give up my data – just to make a group of people who have shown they have no intention of honouring any promise they make – make their job easier?
.5 And what frigging business is it of theirs anyway? Just because they’ve made a law making it compulsory to give this information, doesn’t make it a necessary law.

Which is probably why. They want you to carry a balance so they earn ‘something’ rather than nothing. Over time, they hope your carried forward balance increases.

They live in a self reflective bubble that refuses the entry of reality.
IOW, they are practicing Doublethink in its classic 1984 form. They believe what they are saying while also taking into account it is a lie.
This morning we had breakfast at another Ante-Bellum mansion turned into a B&B. They have some arrangement with our place to provide brekkie. As we sat in the cutsey courtyard eating our fried eggs easy over which turned out to be scrambled (severe miscommunication with large black waitress not paying attention), a rather odd-looking white man hove into view from inside, wearing a worn out backpack and followed by a rather old dog. He wore cheap red sneakers, brown chinos and a hoodie top and had the appearance of some sort of drifter. He stopped to tell us to keep an eye on his backpack while he got his car. We nodded ok and he soon returned, went inside again to this pricey guesthouse, came out again with an assortment of small boxes and bags, and got chatty.
He was, he said, travelling with his wife and two daughters (of whom there was no sign whatsoever) and added, incidentally, that he had three houses in France. He was a French chef, he told us, and invited us to dinner tonight to sample the cooking of another Michigan starred chef in Vicsberg (our next stop), he’d give us the telephone number in a minute. He had another house in the US. He then rambled on about how he was in Natchez now to buy them a house but mentioned that he’d been in a coma for three months. I will be buying a house here today, he said, and went off again to get his car.
I think, I murmur to Hairy, that he may not be quite what he says he is. A little brain-damaged perhaps? A bit of a worry. I think we should quietly leave.
Yes, says Hairy. Especially as he is carrying heat. Did you notice his gun?
A big colt in a holster on his hip. It caught my eye as he returned, and we were on our way out.

Oh Lizzie, what fun. You and Hairy should write a novel ( lock in film rights early!). Love your travelogues btw.
One thing that puzzled me for a time was *how* can a bank make money lending (renting) out their capital as *less* than the inflation rate. The answer is ‘fractional reserve banking’ – they lend out more than they have. In the old days this meant they could lend out 5 or 10x the funds they had on deposit. These days, the ‘reserve ratio; is ZERO! They literally lend out money that doesnt exist – it is ‘borrowed into existence’ (out of thin air) at the time the loan is created.
Good luck running a bank with 0% equity. Don’t give up your day job.
All 3 of my jobs were ‘cancelled’ for going against the approved COVIDAX narrative, giving me ever more time to read and keep up with the world.

The Reserve deposit is only one element of a bank’s balance sheet. It is virtually irrelevant to their ability to make loans.
I wonder if any of the people aching to get involved with the “Voice” would do it for no pay. I suspect the $120,000 a year pay packet ( I’m guessing dollar numbers here) puts a fire under their seat.
Revolver News has link, They found WHAT in the vaccine, to article in Spectator Oz by Rebecca Weisser. It refers to research by Dr David Nixon who examined Vax under high powered microscope and sped up and magnified hundreds of times.
I mentioned this last week as Dr Nixon was on an episode of Club Grubbery with Graham Hood. No idea what it is but won’t be taking any more of it.
Which vaccines and what material?
Looks like we solved one of the sources of the internal server error. Hope it’s the only one.
Onya dover. Onward and upward!
Rooster, that a story no plot and no conclusion. What’s the point of posting it, you nincompoop?
Dot,
Watch the interview with Dr Nixon on Club Grubbery. Nearly an hour of footage of various stages of close examination of the vaccine. Weird to say the least.
This is why these vaccines should not be mandated in any form. However for anybody following the news in past few days it is obvious they are going to try to bring in No 5 under the excuse that it will save us over Christmas holidays. Also look towards more emphasise on getting more jabs in kids by time of school return in late January.
Say no, otherwise they will keep going.
BTW, please consider donating to New Cat. Thank you to those that have donated over the last year or more. Very much appreciated. Apart from improving the mechanics of the site, I’d like to find new writers over the next few months as well. Hard to believe New Cat is at almost 900 posts. We have about about 2K visitors each day, over 5K each week, and just under 250K page views each month. I’d like to double this over the next 6 months.

JC,
Not sure why my post has to have a plot and a conclusion. All I am doing is pointing towards something interesting about the vaccine. No need to look if you don’t want to.
Shall we just add that to ” your moth to a flame” count as you have no interest in my post other than to make a sarcastic comment.
“Rooster, that a story no plot and no conclusion. What’s the point of posting it, you nincompoop?”
Rooster, Driller, Turtlehead, The assorted Karens. Have you donated yet?
Silence or telling me it’s none of my business will automatically mean you haven’t.
What materials are in the vaccines that should alarm me?
*Watch an hour video*
No.
Rooster
It’s not being sarcastic in the least. There’s no freaking story line to that post unless people have read previous posts of yours and there are more details there. You provide no fucking link to the Revolver story and nothing on the Dr Nixon. There’s zero background.
Stop acting like a Nancy and next time fill in the gaps. Also, learn to freaking link and quotes, you dill. I have been telling you during all your years of whining and still haven’t learned.
Dot,
Pick almost any 5 minutes from the interview and that should be enough to raise your interest about what is going on.
I would be interested to see a similar examination of other vaccines, including Novovax, to see if get the same things happening.
I think Graham Hood said he is planning to have Dr Nixon on with Phillip Altman to discuss further.
I see JC is demanding things again. Nothing new. Makes you wonder if somebody donates enough they get treated differently despite their obnoxious behaviour.
JC,
Anybody with half a brain can find the article and clip I referred to. Since you read every post I make in great detail you will have seen by first post on this over a week ago. I can’t be blamed for the fact anything I post triggers you. You are such a sensitive pettle or perhaps you just like stalking various peoples comments with a view to picking some minor aspect to get upset about.
Your concern is however noted. Where would we be without our own version of Snopes.
I missed this one.
Of course this will also reveal the top posters who are paying. I think JC is now telling us why he is treated differently to others on this blog.
I guess some posters are more special than others. Explains a lot.
“Dover

It’s all very well for people, who are either retired or in jobs where they can afford to spend hours watching videos.
Not everyone can do that, so if you watched it, just pick the important bits out and post it.
I’m certain not the whole hour is filled with important stuff, they get credits for punters spending time watching it.
Rooster, anyone with a halfway functioning brain stem can learn to link and quote. Is this beyond you?
There was no context to the post, you idiot.
Have you made a donation?
Do so now!
In Ed speak ‘flamer boy’.
Rooster
I’m not treated differently, but if I were then if you made a donation, you would be treated equally.
So make a fucking donation you cheap limey bastard. Hurry up!
Dot, this is the article you seek.
There’s more.
Make up your own mind.
