It’s Snowing in Middle East for First Time in History
From Armstrong Economics –
COMMENT: Mr. Armstrong, I just wanted to inform you as a loyal reader of your blog, it is snowing here in Kuwait for the first time in history. Your computer is the only non-passionate forecaster I have ever encountered. It relays just the facts without the agenda.
Thank you so much. You have a large group of supporters here in the Middle East.
REPLY: This entire climate change agenda is a hoax. They are not interested in the truth. This is about using climate to restructure society into the one-world order which is why they are supporting Ukrainian Nazis that follow the same beliefs as Adolf Hitler. We have turned 180 degrees from our basic fundamental values. I am deeply concerned that by calling this global warming and now they are experimenting with shooting particles into the atmosphere to “cool” the planet, we may be pushing ourselves into an ice age much faster than anyone suspects. Napoleon was defeated by a Volcanic Winter. These people are risking the entire planet for several volcanoes erupting, and we may not survive by deliberately shooting particles into the atmosphere. All of this is because our current debt system cannot be sustained.”

Probably not farmers but labour hire companies complying with the TaliDan junta’s mad edicts.
Farmers won’t ask you and won’t give a shit about vaccines. Everyone ignored the need to be vaccinated to deliver grain last harvest. The only masks at bunkers is to keep the dust out of your lungs.

Tesla owners stuck in huge queue to charge their cars in regional Australia
Some EV owners have had to wait up to 90 minutes just to use a charger, amid calls for more stations across regional Australia.
Australian Tesla drivers returning from Christmas holidays were caught in 90 minute queues just to be able to use a charging port in regional Australia this week.
Footage of massive lines at a charging station on the Victorian border city of Wodonga has prompted calls for more stations to be built in regional areas in a bid to ensure everyone can get home safely.
ABC journalist Phil Williams was caught in the chaos, taking to Twitter to vent his frustration.
“Wodonga Tesla charge points overwhelmed with wait times around 90 mins,” he wrote.
“Basic EV infrastructure failing to keep pace with demand. Time for some serious investment for the future.”
EV drivers in other parts of the country were quick to agree.
Twitter user JohnW said he was facing a similar situation in the northern NSW town of Coffs Harbour, sharing similar photos to the Twitter thread.
It takes Tesla owners up to 60 minutes to fully charge their vehicles from a near empty battery. Combined with the limited charging bays, it’s added up to impatience and frustration for those trying to make it home.
Those with electric cars can pay a premium to use the super chargers, which provide a faster rate of charging than a user would experience at home.
Wodonga only has a single area where EV super chargers can be found, compared to around 11 petrol stations within the same area.
The six individual stations are open 24/7, and provide up to 120kW, but only for those with Teslas; it’s unclear what options are available for those with other vehicle brands.
Others on social media haven’t been sympathetic to the EV drivers.
– “No sympathy,” wrote Twitter user @RoDaz4, “I’m sure they knew the infrastructure wasn’t up to scratch yet when they bought their EVs.”
– While Jan Eisen wrote under the same post: “At least with gas engines you can fill up and be on your way in less than 5 minutes. The convenience factor is kinda obvious here. Just sayin’”.
Farmer Gez, all the hop farms are owned by the same company, no labour hire. It’s a closed shop
Not even sure if left wing/right wing really means anything now if it ever did. I do know that workers can find themselves up against unscrupulous, venal and aggressive management sometimes and unions can be very helpful when this occurs.

Err I was referring to advice given at the time not sure if he’s taken eny boosters. My point was he respected my choice.
There’s a lot of barking on the picture wireless about the Quenthland Government’s increased penalties for junior scrotes who do junior scrote stuff.
The problem with this is that it’s an ineffective load of shit, and put out by departmental spinners knowing it won’t have any realistic effect.
Increasing a maximum sentence for Crime X will have no effect whatsoever, because judges take into account different factors which reduce that already effective maximum sentence into a pissweak sentence.
Say for example, Crime X carries a penalty of 10 years in the bin. That’s reduced by what the judge considers to be the level of seriousness of that particular crime committed, pleas of guilty, youth, broken homes, a dropped ice cream as a child and other horseshit excuses put forward by the defence. But that’s not the problem.
The problem is the existing precedent set. A JURDGE must apply a comparative sentence for similar offending committed by somebody else in the past – given that it’s the same offence, albeit with greater sentences on the books.
An appropriate sentence for a junior scrote will therefore be appealed by the defence on the grounds of parity, among other things, because another junior scrote got a good behaviour promise for the same thing the year before. The appeal will get up, and there won’t be any real effect.
The laws are already in place, as are the sentences. They’ve just been terminally weakened over the years by officious hand-patters who know better, and whose wives haven’t been killed in their own home.
I agree that there exists that type of management. My advice, if at all possible, is to move on to another job, contract or run your own business. They generally don’t change their spots. Don’t give them any power over you and make it their problem to replace you. They will lose productivity and money in the long term.

Tolerance is a good thing in most aspects of life. But when it comes to the immune system, artificially juicing up the body to create antibodies with long-term tolerance to a pathogen is a recipe for disaster. Amid thousands of papers on COVID and the vaccines, a new German paper published in Science Immunology should be the headline story this week. Although the subject matter is very dense, the implication of it is that the Pfizer shots (and possibly other mRNA spike protein shots) caused the immune system to misfire, thereby creating an endless feedback loop of viral immune escape, perpetuating the pandemic in the macro, and creating immune suppression for the individuals who received them.
The vexing question of 2022 is why the virus is even still with us to this day. Why is it that so many countries in the Pacific Rim that did so well in 2020 and 2021 now have a bigger problem in 2022 with less virulent strains of COVID? Why does it appear the pandemic will never end and so many people continue to get the virus multiple times? None of this is normal.
Wherever you turn, the most vaccinated countries are not only experiencing rampant side effects from the shots, but worse outcomes from COVID itself following their endless booster campaigns.
So, this is about a lot more than “oh, the vaccines don’t stop transmission.” They appear to proliferate it and also to worsen clinical outcomes. But why?

Victims of youth crime speak out amid calls for victims’ minister in wake of Emma Lovell’s stabbing
ABC last week. (Posted Tue 27 Dec 2022 at 3:18am – reposted at that time- with the title changed)
UN working group backs South Sudanese Australian mothers’ concerns about treatment of youth
Note this title was changed from something like “how Australia is failing African youth”.
In Melbourne’s outer-west, African Australian mothers have for years been crying out for help.
They say their children have been singled out and vilified, leading to too many ending up incarcerated, many with mental health issues.
Now their concerns have been backed by a United Nations working group researching the experiences of people of African descent in communities around the world.
After a visit to Australia earlier this month, the group found the proportion of people from South Sudanese backgrounds in prison and indefinite detention here is not replicated in any other country they have resettled.
…
Ms Day said the group had been told that people of African descent, and particularly South Sudanese, were over-represented in juvenile detention and prison.
“You have section 501 of the Migration Act, which allows the government to convert people at the end of their prison sentences into this indefinite detention in immigration custody,” she said.
“And this was also a space that was disproportionately black and South Sudanese.”
…
Sudanese Mothers Coalition in Victoria president Monica Majak said she may not have resettled with her son in Australia if she had been warned about how they would be treated.
Ms Majak said she had fled war for the promise of a better life which had not materialised.
“We came here for the future of our children. We came here for this generation that has been destroyed,” she told the ABC.
“Their future has been ruined. They don’t have any future at all because they push our children away from us.”
Whats going on??
Kids are effectively allowed to be junior scrotes with the parents not having what they are used to (a “tribe”, for want of a better word) which is an extended family group to enforce norms.
As the kids keep offending sooner or later they hit the jackpot and actually offend enough to be jailed.
But not before they
a: Cause justified apprehension based on their race/ethnicity in the community, especially youth groups (which spills over into non-scrotes being treated as potentially a threat, alienating them from Aussie peers)
b: Cause a massive amount of misery to people around them.
c: Absorb a disproportionate amount of community resources and attention, which can just serve to reinforce how ‘special’ they are.
It’s understandable that family members of victims will see eny change as a relief from the loss. Hopefully with the right support and time they will see though the politics and become champions in reversing the hand patters damage.
All we get from canbra now is economic and social sabotage.

There are more than sufficient Sudanese immigrants in every capital city to form a useful “tribe”. They are forming the wrong sort of tribe for our culture – one that preys on what was once a high trust and reasonably tolerant society.

Lviv & Kiev Plunged Into Darkness After ‘Massive’ Missile Attack; Ukrainian S-300 Lands In Belarus
Ukraine has been hit with a “massive” attack of over 120 missiles across the country Thursday, its military and presidency’s office said. “December 29. Massive missiles attack… The enemy is attacking Ukraine from various directions with air and sea-based cruise missiles from strategic aircraft and ships,” Ukraine’s air force said in a public statement.
It marks the largest barrage of missiles since there was weekend talk from both sides of mutual ‘openness’ in getting to the negotiating table. Ukrainian leadership floated the proposal of UN-brokered talks by the end of February, but its insistence on Russian officials facing a war crimes tribunal first was seen in Moscow as not serious and a non-starter.
From the Comments
– Out of the 120 missiles fired Ukrainian armed forces were able to shoot down 238 of them. Sadly a few still hit targets such as an orphanage, children’s hospital, 3 play grounds and a synagogue…
– Ontop of that Putin’s ongoing attacks on Ukraine caused the Black community in Chicago to require even more reparations. Cause you know, White supremacy.
– Lights out … taking care of global warming! Go Go Go … Next time the City of London, Brussels and DC? You can do it VVP?!

So frollickingmole you just destroyed the other half of what we are taught about disease – immunity.
I’ll say it again.
Does harbouring a virus make you a) more; or b) less susceptible to illness from said virus in the future.
If a) then all of immunity is a lie (including vaccination).
If b) then there is no such thing as asymptomatic infection (including chronic).
Chronic infection and immunity are *contrary* concepts. They cannot co-exist. At least one must be wrong.

ORLY Mr Luigi the unbelieveable?
A new omicron subvariant is spreading in China. Here’s what we know so far.
By Manal Mohammed published 14 days ago
BF.7 is a new version of the coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 that’s driving a surge of infection in China.
So its a brand new variant.
But luigi knows the vaccines for the older variants work well.
Reports from China indicate BF.7 has the strongest infection ability(opens in new tab) out of the omicron subvariants in the country, being quicker to transmit than other variants, having a shorter incubation period, and with greater capacity to infect people who have had a previous COVID infection, or been vaccinated, or both.
To put this into context, BF.7 is believed to have an R0, or basic reproduction number, of 10 to 18.6(opens in new tab). This means an infected person will transmit the virus to an average of 10 to 18.6 other people. Research has shown omicron has an average R0 of 5.08(opens in new tab).
The high transmission rate of BF.7, taken with the risk of hidden spread due to the many asymptomatic carriers(opens in new tab), is understood to be causing significant difficulty in controlling the epidemic in China.
Well we see the price for the ‘thaw” with china being played out in real time.
As well as the absolute failure of both the vaccine program and the 2 years of lockdown, both jettisoned to keep Penny diplomacy alive.
To be clear I dont want lockdows etc again, but am wild at the blatant lies and bullshit of the government here in Mongstralia.
I alluded to this yesterday. On the starting blocks, having percolated away in China for over two years, already in Milan via a few planeloads. 2020 redux.
Of course, this time it’s different. The vaxxes formulated for a virus many mutations ago will work on this one. For sure! Just as well as they worked on the other ones.
Prepare to be ravaged.
Or, in the case of the people who took the decision to allow them in, they were motivated by a hatred of Australia and Australians.

Thank you Big Nambas for linking to the Conservative Review which contains the German study on current Covid mortality rates.
It is very interesting that the study shows that Nigeria and the rest of Africa indeed”are done with the pandemic,” with very , low death rates.
Putting aside the fact that Ivermectin is used on a daily prophylactic basis for other viruses, this is exactly what virologist Geert Van Den Bossche predicted a good year ago. He said quite flatly, that “Africa will be the winner” when the dust settles. He has been mocked by his own profession for three years, but maybe he will be right.

I think the idea is to eliminate anyone who objects to government and replace them with willing drones.
Even if they are useless at their job, they will say “yes sir” without question.
The boss who fired me was a subcontinental. Yes sir without question. I’m personal friends with two previous bosses, spans about 15 years. Both of them said they would have given me a heads up, and insisted that senior management signed any termination letter, they wouldn’t have touched it.

Fair bit of argy bargy up norf Dragger. I’m guessing old family grudges are being taken onto the fields?
Immunity comes from antibodies. There is no mimicry, the purpose of vaccination is for the body to generate genuine antibodies.
During an asymptomatic infection, no matter what the disease, you do not have a “harmless portion” of the virus in you. The problem you seem to be having here is believing that a disease has to be binary, that you have it or you don’t. This is patently foolish thinking on your part. The body hosts invasions by countless amounts of virus cells every day, most of which are controlled by the body’s defence systems. Sometimes those defences get overwhelmed, mostly they hold up.
Your failure to grasp concepts understood by primary school children reflects only on you, not on science.

I’d rather scrap the Commonwealth.
Reduce it to its original functions, defence, foreign relations (not affairs), international quarantine and (minimal) immigration.
And strip it of its income tax powers.
Indeed. GST and excise to fund Commonwealth functions, income and other taxes, set by the states individually, to fund their functions.
Set a Constitutional limit on the GST of 10%, allowed to be exceeded only in time of declared war.
Can any Cats beat Sinclair’s score?
Forget saving the World. Fix the f#$&@ing Federation. Although you feel even Hercules would struggle to make a dent in it.
The GST alteration mechanism was a thing of genius. There is always some State government in election mode and thus concerned about tax increases.
one cant go to bali without being vaccinated. this story is bullshit. have the hospitals not heard of prednisone or colchicine. fmd.
As my daughter came to the farm for Christmas with Covid (!), I have been curious whether my unvaccinated husband and I, having previous had a mild bout of Covid (he about 6 months ago, me – 6 weeks ago) could contract it a second time.
As I am yet to ask my friend Dr. Phillip Altman, about this, I thought I would Google it. I came across one scientific research study:
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9106377/
The research team were surprised to find that the unvaccinated were unlikely to be reinfected – an 85% chance of NOT being reinfected.
This is necessarily what I would have expected, either, since, like influenza, you would think you would be susceptible to other variants. Maybe the immune systems of the unvaccinated are more robust than the vaccinated as a result of not being vulnerable to the adjutant of the spike protein.
Although, again, I wonder about the ability of the spike protein to remain in the system of the unvaccinated who have had even one dose of C19.
We might even get some competition between the states to attract the productive!
Can you include stop-overs?

Really, there’s anti-Jewish medicine? Like wow. Plain old antisemitism must be getting really boring.
I heard a joke.
A dude goes to see a doctor and the first thing he asks is.
“Are you Jewish?”
The Doc says yes, he is.
The dude replies
“Oh Good, I was worried there for a sec:.

just another magical covid death
Didn’t the young lady who wrote for the Spectator or Quadrant die of suddenly after a trip to Bali? Story from about 3 weeks ago?
Vicki, I’ve given up trying to work out this stuff logically.
Some of the vaxxed haven’t managed to pick it up either (and there are many that I’ve been cheeky enough to ask). I can’t get it for love nor money. Neither can my husband nor my parents (although, TBH, the parents are very careful in crowds and don’t go out much anyway).
I was interested to see a link (via rosie) about a nasal vaxx. My immediate thought was you and the First Defence which we used in the vast crowds in the UK and Europe earlier this year. There is absolutely no way the virus was absent in those scenarios, and probably at very high loads, but we got through unscathed. It’s like sticking a roll of barbed wire up your nose, but it worked. 🙂
Ruminating on the subject of medicine after reading the comments here. I think that there might be two streams, one very effective, the other much less so.
The very effective stream might be called the engineering stream. It includes most surgery. In the last 50 or so years, this stream has made incredible advances. Think of open-heart surgery, joint replacements, burns treatments. These are usually handled very competently, and the incompetents are usually weeded out quickly (except where politics intervenes, as in Queensland’s Dr Death case).
The less effective stream might be called the nostrums stream. It relies on the products of the pharmaceutical industry, some of which are very effective and useful (think aspirin and paracetamol as very simple examples). Others are more dangerous, and even when the risks are identified, it can be very difficult to get them withdrawn, again because politics (and influence buying) enter the equation.
Just some initial thoughts, to encourage discussion.
I read part of a Winton book. All I remember is some kid squashing chickens.
Another one of “our” bloody awful novelists is Thomas Keneally. gaaah. I worked my way through a book of his about a daughter looking after her parents on a farm. It ended with the parents turning into cows and running off up the paddock. Still shaking my head at that one.
After reading that garbage, if a book pisses me off, I don’t bother finishing it. Life is too bloody short.
spike protein has been found to be extremely long term persistent, both lodged in micro-clots and in monocytes that were unable to digest it.

Not at all; I enjoy it …besides which, I’m a man of leisure while my wife is still employed a few days a week. Other than that I’m banned from houswork on account of my standards not being exacting enough 😀

Is that where they add more dick to you instead of lopping the end off?
So you become an even bigger dick if you are anti Jewish?
I’m currently half way through the audiobook ‘Of Human Bondage’, it’s pretty good but seems to have settled into never ending tragedy and despair. I think I’ll give it up, I can’t stand another 5 hours of relentless misery.

“No. Only hot box.”

He points at hot box. “Only that – no breakfast.”

Andrew tate, professional flog, has done something no moral crusader has ever managed to do.
It appears he has succeeded in making it illegal to produce pornography.
This should see a lot of websites banned in the EU immediately Id imagine.
Amazing.

“The four suspects … appear to have created an organised crime group with the purpose of recruiting, housing and exploiting women by forcing them to create pornographic content meant to be seen on specialised websites for a cost,” prosecutors said.
“They would have gained important sums of money.”
Prosecutors said they had found six women who had been sexually exploited by the suspects.
(Yes he is a bald headed flog, but selective justice- isnt)
Not yet, Crossie. Still a few latecomers to count. By next December, I’ll have added another three from the list. Shame they didn’t include cities in Africa.
I drove up to Katoomba yesterday for lunch with the two younger grandsons. The top of the mountains were shrouded in mist and drizzle with the temperature hovering in the high teens. Yeah, not much of a summer so far.
The truth will be known but probably not until those responsible are gone, at present they have the power to stop the truth coming out.
BRITTANY Higgins – not a victim of any known crime – recently demanded and received a seven-figure bonanza from Australian taxpayers because the Albanese government thought she’d earned it. Despite there being no proof she was ever sexually assaulted, the public prosecutor in the ACT seems to have rolled the dice on the likelihood that no jury so bombarded with incitement to lynch would ever acquit the innocent man accused of raping her. Feminists honoured, praised, awarded and mobbed Higgins like some sort of secular Mary MacKillop. Why? Because her allegations were damaging to a Liberal government. This week, a 41 year-old Brisbane mother was stabbed to death in her own home, in front of her two children, after another public prosecutor decided an up-and-coming Mansonite deserved a break. Have there been any “calls” – let alone “growing calls” – for the Queensland Premier to be blamed on the same ‘Buck Stops Here’ basis deployed to frame Scott Morrison? No. Why not? It would be damaging to a Labor government.
It’s being reported tonight by the Courier Mail that one of the 17 year-olds who shoved a blade into Emma Lovell’s chest and her husband Lee’s back at the couple’s North Lakes home on Boxing Day also knifed lawyer Aaron Anderson during a home invasion in the suburb of St Lucia last year. The Courier has a police photograph of the weapon used on that occasion. Steel like that has but one purpose. “I collapsed to the ground and said to my wife ‘I think I’m gone’,” Mr Anderson says. He was rushed to Royal Brisbane and Women’s Hospital for emergency surgery.
The perpetrator and his accomplice were charged with attempted murder but this was downgraded to unlawful wounding. Both were convicted and sentenced but, inexplicably, were already free last week. Seven News reports that one of the them was arrested again on Christmas Eve on multiple charges but was bailed on Boxing Day – despite strong police objections. Hours later, he allegedly murdered Mrs Lovell. “The time for action is now,” Annastacia Palaszczuk declared while unveiling a hurriedly brainstormed list of “reforms” yesterday. No, the time for action was a year ago – at least. Had she attended to her responsibilities as energetically as she attended red carpet soirées Mrs Lovell might be alive to see in the New Year.

Politico calls Meghan Markle a narcissist, gets labeled ‘racist’
The nerve. Just because a D-list celebrity repeatedly thrusts herself into the public eye while pleading for privacy doesn’t make her a narcissist; and if you say so, you’re just a racist.
On December 26, Politico’s Joanna Weiss authored an opinion piece which opened with:
Narcissists had their moment in the sun. But in 2022, some of them got their comeuppance and some of them got worse: our disinterest.
but apparently she had a stroke of objectivity, as she also noted Meghan Markle. Of course, I’d suspect a large number of conservative thinkers would agree with Weiss’ assessment, myself included. According to Weiss:
All of them [on the list] used attention as currency and ego as fuel, and were rewarded, for a time, with what they craved. We’re drawn to people who love themselves.
Weiss went on:
But somewhere between the fifth and sixth hour of ‘Harry and Meghan,’ the new Netflix documentary series produced by the former Duke and Duchess of Sussex and filmed at their California mansion — which suggests that there is no one more in love, no one more socially conscious, no one more aggrieved
— my natural sympathy for the couple started turning to irritation, and it occurred to me that ego has its limits.
Apparently though, Weiss betrayed the left’s groupthink, as enraged followers came out against the author, demanding an apology; some even designated her work as a “racist.”
I had never heard of the guy until his fracas with Pippi Bluestocking.
Nice car collection though.
On Tate.
Influencing young men to be dominant and highly sexed is easy but it takes a particularly pernicious pervert to warp impressionable youth into operating theatres with their brains addled by gender bender drugs.

aside from a couple of repurposed meds like ivm and hcq does anybody here even know that effective anti-virals exist?

Boambee John:
I’ve repeatedly said that when the line between living and starving becomes a very fine one, ANY benefit you can get from someone else without expending any effort yourself is the only valid survival option you can follow.
This is obvious in Aboriginal Australia, but just as obvious with the Sudanese et al tribes in Africa.
The problem is that it should be only a short term solution to starvation and extreme poverty. It never stays that way as the demand for free goods is never satisfied.
That’s why in the photo attached, all are overweight, all have no problem dressing themselves, but the hand is still held out for more. And the hand patters will provide it because the means to supply that extra doesn’t come from their pockets – it comes from the Taxpayer.
In fact I’d say that well over 90% of the group photo are taxpayer subsidised either by government largesse or government employment.
and its not paxlovid which is just a patentable version of ivermectin that sells for $200 a tablet.
Someone on this site recommended Helen Rappaport’s book “The Race to Save the Romanovs” – the subject being the various secret plans to save the Russian Imperial Family from their grisly fate. King George of England wasn’t the villain he’s been made out to be. Interesting reading, and my compliments, and thanks to whoever recommended the book.
The subject of that story is a beast of a slightly different colour to our handsy camp-drafter, but the editorial technique is exactly the same.
