You will get billed one way or the other. The thing is the damage done to those institutions has taken centuries, and it has had support beyond the Left. It isn’t just the appearance of welfare that is the problem. Those institutions were diminished in their capacity by direct state interference often under the banner of freedom. People who have been habituated poorly cannot turn on a dime and act virtuously all of a sudden. Circumstances may assist them in deciding that the path they are own is hopeless and they need to turn in a better direction, but unless there are institutions available to assist them in that they are largely done for.

It isn’t just about the direct welfare recipients. Suppliers of safty gear, tools and training depend on welfare. Employers too why pay for that stuff when you can get a fully kitted and certified labourer without the expense and hassle. I walked away from a subcontract delivery job because the guy insisted on including low income assistance as part of the negotiations.

It gets even better, BB. The OSI investigators are totally incompetent and have no idea what they’re doing.

Apparently this clown show has been running for 11 years.

The OSI is expecting to complete its first brief of evidence for the Commonwealth DPP of an unlawful killing within the next six months but is understood to be struggling with making a case that stands up despite identifying alleged potential witnesses in Pakistan and Afghanistan.

There were now 57 investigators, analysts and specialists working for the OSI plus another 38 specialists in the AFP for a total team of 128 and a budget to hire more later this year.

alleged potential witnesses in Pakistan and Afghanistan

We can end this charade right now.

After 11 years, alleged potential witnesses in Pakistan and Afghanistan and 128 investigators all that is going to happen is they will force otherwise innocent people into committing BS “process crimes”.

For myself…I just don’t know, and I can’t know. Harm has already been admitted by the perpetrators, how much is still uncertain.

But what we do know is that harm has been known from the very beginning but any attempt to draw attention to it has been slapped down or ignored for two years now with all other treatments, some proven efficacious decades ago, being literally demonised. Oh, and don’t let’s forget the synchronised response to the “pandemic” (40 known active cases when the worldwide pandemic was declared) which involved discarding pandemic plans developed over many years and pivoting straight to authoritarian means.

I’m sorry, but I find it hard not to see deliberate and malicious intent. And, for emphasis, here’s a blast from the past.

UPDATE – So, You Did Not Take the COVID-19 Shot, Why Not?

January 14, 2023 – Sundance

I am bumping this post to the top of the page and updating because, well, I’ll explain.

First, thank you. Sincere and genuine thankfulness for your fellowship. Visitors to this site continue to prove that our nation is created by, and an assembly of, the most decent, honest, generous and kind-hearted people in the world. The responses to the question of ‘why didn’t you take the covid-19 shot?’ are nothing short of remarkable.

In the bigger picture if you want to fill up your faith cup and recognize the scale of commonsense assembly in our nation, take the time to read through the 2,000+ responses.

The feedback you are providing is exceptional and trust me when I say that far more people are reading these responses than you could fathom. Additionally, the responses have reasserted my belief in the scale of our national assembly. There are far more of us, ordinary, hardworking, commonsense, pragmatic and smart people, than the self-described intellectual elites would ever admit.

In addition to the responses below, there have been hundreds of emails answering the question, which suddenly made me realize that no one has really ever asked this question before in a format that provides ordinary people with the ability to respond.

There is also a yearning to talk about this issue, publicly and with deliberation; massively so. And I am hopeful (insert grin here) this small corner of the internet is about to push this conversation into a much larger national forum. Our nation needs a big conversation about this.

January 14, 2023 – Sundance

This article is intended toward a specific set of interests.

?First, the larger media apparatus needs to comprehend the scale of the current situation.

?Second, the medical establishment need to come to grips with the situation they pretend doesn’t exist.

?Lastly, to the alternative media forums writ large, with my challenge to you to open up every format you control, ask simple questions and then just shut up and listen to readers and viewers.

Yes Indolent. But every day is Groundhog Day. And to get more clicks and eyeballs the claims become more shrill and unrealistic. This does nothing but turn reasonable people off.

Harm has been done. Great harm. My family has been on the receiving end.

But unless a claim is sufficiently vehement and extreme, it is consigned to the “not one of us, we very few” bin. I know why you post the links, and I read many of them. Most are going over the same ground, some are making wild claims, some from people I wouldn’t trust as far as I could kick them. Some are interesting and thought provoking. It’s a veritable grab bag of opinion.

I’m simply not buying the “don’t trust the government, trust us instead” lure.

It was crude but results would suggest it was also effective. Suffice to say, ridiculing and humiliating Nazis is something that should be encouraged.

There is also another test at the other end of the spectrum when it comes to cries of racism or myriad other offences, and that is whether the scandalised individual is a hypocrite.

Here we have another perfect case study in the Premier and the Prince

Both men in their youth wore a Nazi costume to a fancy dress party but, unlike Harry, Perrottet did not go on to spend the rest of his career accusing others of racism or — heaven forbid — “unconscious bias”.

On the contrary he has been a quintessentially libertarian leader, defending freedom of expression often at great cost to his political standing.

This is important because it is a cornerstone of civil law that if you preach one thing and practice another it makes you a legitimate target for criticism and even defamation but if your principles are consistent it does not.

And so notwithstanding Perrottet’s obvious and rightful regret over his actions two decades ago, it is not as though he has made hay condemning others for their supposed lack of cultural awareness and understanding — which also puts him in stark contrast with, for example, Trudeau.

(At this point I’m tempted to say “Hey, what is it with all these French guys?!?” but I wouldn’t want to be racist.)

To be clear, if you’re thinking about dressing up as a Nazi: Don’t. It’s a really dumb idea. And it you don’t believe me, visit a Holocaust museum and then see if you still want to wear a swastika.

In fact I don’t even know where you would get a costume from — it’s an idea so dumb it has cancelled itself.

But the bigger point is we’ve all said and done dumb stuff, which only leaves two questions.

The first is whether someone did it because they are a horrible person, as opposed to having had a lapse of judgment. And the second is whether we are too quick to condemn others for doing the same things that we have all done ourselves but just haven’t been caught out for yet.

I suspect that very few people fall into the first category while most of us fall into the latter.

And so, as a wandering prophet once said 2000 years ago, let he who is without sin cast the first stone.

Because otherwise, make no mistake, our sins will come for us all.

There’s a piece in The Hun which I can’t link to at present, but it deals with the still ongoing investigation into SF people previously on deployment in the ME. Naturally, being run by the AFP it’s a political thing which means the actual investigation was and is breathtakingly incompetent.

If you weren’t there, you don’t get an opinion, and that includes the general public and everyone trying to take down the SAS now, years later.

Turns out they’ve put listening devices into countless cars belonging to these blokes. One of them was installed in the new family car of a former trooper who happened to be cross-trained in electronics.

If the last 3 years has taught us anything, its just how rotten all governments are, including cuddly western ‘democracies’, under the skin. If you don’t understand by now that their prime purpose is self preservation, NOT service to the public, you never will (and the various police forces serve the government, not the people). Given that, and the rise in the surveillance state, you would be a fool not to assume the govt can listen to you anywhere. I always ‘put my phone on charge’ in another room when having any conversation where privacy is an issue.

The taliban addressed the ‘ubiquitous surveillance’ problem with their ‘the cure for high tech is low tech’ strategy – they communicated face to face and in paper writing, not on phones, email etc.

Our Extreme Long-Term Model Forecasting Tools

From Armstrong Economics –

QUESTION: Mr. Armstrong, Your reputation precedes you. They call you the legend because you have been the only analyst who forecasts events years in advance. Throughout the rise and fall the stock market, you called for only 2 year correction from 2000 and 2008 and the market would remain in a bullish trend. I read that Barrons piece on you where it seemed they laughed at your forecast I think in 2010 when you said the market would rally and make new highs. You did the same in 1987. My question is, do you have a particular indicator that allows you to see the long-term like that in the stock market?

PE

ANSWER: This is why I stress that to be a successful trader, you have to conquer your emotions. I was always institutional. Our reports were too expensive for the retail world for they use to go out over telex, which would cost $75 alone per transmission back then. That is why we opened offices around the world to reduce delivery costs. We would send one transmission to that office and they would redistribute it to the clients in that region. We are gathering all our old forecasts that were in storage and will try to assemble them on annual basis for reference.

When FAX became common, we moved to that delivery system and that brought the costs down dramatically. Today, it is email and that is all free. So that is why we became the largest institutional adviser. However, because our clients were institutional, we had to specialize in reliable long-term forecasting. Day traders were not our focus.

We developed our Extreme Long-term trend indicator. This has successfully calculated that these corrections where everyone calls will be the next Depression were only short-term corrections. The calculations are extensive, but this indicator has been used by our Institutional Clients to provide underlying confidence in what is REALLY unfolding in the markets on a broader basis.

These are the charts I was showing at our institutional sessions around the world going into 1985. This indicator was starting to take off on the Quarterly level in 1982. It was fully outright bullish in 1984 on the Yearly Level one year before the ECM turned in 1985. This is why I ended up advising a few of the takeover players back then who they ended up making the movie Wall Street about with Michael Douglas and his famous speech on greed. What the movie did not explain was that the book value declined so much that we could buy companies, sell their assets, and double or even triple our money. I was warned that we were entering a takeover boom.

We took out the back cover of the Economist in July 1985 for three weeks to forecast that the deflation was ending and a new Private Wave on our Economic Confidence Model was beginning that would eventually peak in 2032.

The ECM even picked the high in the interest rates at the Fed in 1981. Our long-term forecasts have been amazing. They even impressed me. As I said at the last WEC, nobody has tried to defeat these models more than me. True, I do not like their projections into 2032. But that is my personal opinion which is not something clients rely on. We all know that the forecasts can only come from Socrates. These indicators have been reliable and you cannot forecast the future from a personal gut feeling.

You have people who will try to claim it’s all nonsense mainly because they want to think, like Marx, that the government is in control. They respond to events. At the precise bottom of the ECM in 1985, they formed the G5 at the Plaza Accord responding to the high in the dollar which produced the high in deflation. The government does not want to learn how to manage the economy. They want to fool the voting masses just to retain power.”

The MSM are now trying to hunt down people who attended Perrottet’s 21st Birthday Party, all because some of those names might now be Liberal MPs or prominent Liberal Party members. Apparently, these “attendees” are denying they attended or are in hiding.

This proves my theory that this is nothing more than a smear campaign, it’s more gaslighting and dog whistling by the MSM and the left to scream, screech, rant and smear their ideological opponents on the right as “Nazis”, because, as we’ve been told by Dan Andrews, there are Nazis everywhere on the right.

Oh and isn’t it strange, I’ve never seen anyone in the media express any interest in talking to attendees who attended a Young Labor Camp back in the late 1980s. I’m sure there must be a list somewhere. Or any of Sleazy’s one time Trotskyite circle, who went around menacing Labor right people in the 1980s…..oh no!

I’ve heard similar. Whilst not happy with Perrottet’s lacklustre performance as premier (and yes, I think he is a tool of Green Kean), Elliott’s an effing thug and all round mediocrity, who worked hand in hand with Gladslag and Health Hazzard to lock this state up. The thing is, NSW Labor is right, and whilst they’re not joining in the witch hunt against Perrottet, what they’re saying rings true, that the NSW Liberals aren’t only internally divided, they’re a complete and utter mess.

“…in early December Noel McCoy was dumped as the party candidate in Castle Hill over criticisms he’d made of the Berejiklian government’s “damaging” Covid-19 lockdown measures and vaccination mandates. McCoy – Perrottet’s close friend, whom he thanked in his first speech in parliament – was furious about the decision.

“Apparently good-faith public policy discussions in defence of core Liberal values are no longer allowed in the Liberal party,” McCoy told the ABC at the time.”

Climate Change = more heart attacks.

Rise in heart disease may be explained by extreme weather conditions: Study
It’s not clear why temperature shifts correlated with more hearts.

Dr. Martha Gulati will never forget the first time she saw a young, healthy athlete die of heat stroke.

It was 1995 in Chicago, in the middle of a heat wave that would ultimately claim nearly 700 lives. In the decades that followed, Gulati watched in alarm as the climate warmed and heat catastrophes grew even more intense.

“The medical community was not prepared for what these temperatures would do to people; we were ultimately learning on the fly,” said Gulati, now associate director of the Barbra Streisand Women’s Heart Center at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles and president of the American Society of Preventive Cardiology.

MORE: Experts explain how the Inflation Reduction Act helps fight climate change
Since that heat wave in 1995, climate change has intensified globally with wildfires, hurricanes, droughts, heat waves and cold spells leading to famine and drought. As a result of these extreme changes, the medical community is noticing an increasing rate of heart disease.

Don’t know about the Celestials, but the Nipponese saw a rabbit in the moon, not a man.

And the moon is made of mochi (rice cake – which is not like a cake in terms of consistency, preparation, or likelihood of killing you by getting caught in your throat and suffocating you).

Story was that the rabbits ate the mochi, which explains its change of shape.

Private Anderson will be setting the pace on our morning run”. With this the platoon was overjoyed, as Private Anderson was overweight and terribly slow. But then the drill sergeant finished his statement: “Now for the bad news. Private Anderson will be driving a truck”.

I don’t agree with Rosie much about vaccines but there is one thing we agree on.

It relates to heart attack cases such as Shane Warne and Kimberly Kitching. I cringe when I see people trying to use their deaths as examples of Vax deaths.

Both clearly had multiple issues at time of death that could contribute to heart attack. People too easily related it to the Vax. If you thought Norman Swan was wrong to say Kitching died of Covid issues then it is just as wrong to say the Vax.

However having said that I strongly believe the Vax is causing heart issues and many others. I know two Pfizer bad heart reaction people and tell as many people as I can about Dr’s Peter McCullough and Asseem Malhotra.

The evidence from multiple medical sources around the world about the adverse effects is undeniable.

But as I said before we must just be incredibly lucky that the TGA has not identified one Pfizer death in Australia. NZ has had 4 confirmed with probably a third as many Pfizer jabs given. I guess we must have got the good batches.

No one has stated that she definitely wasn’t vaxxed, so it’s logical to assume that she was.

A Macca’s drive-through customer was stunned to find an unusual critter in the back of a car getting his favourite fast-food snack. A Macca’s customer took to TikTok on Tuesday to share the bizarre scene in front of her as a woman pulled up to order with a tiny horse in the back seat.

“Only in Australia,” the poster captioned the video.

The little guy is in the back seat of a black Honda, with his head out the window looking all around him. – “The reason why Honda has the so called “magic seats”, it’s to take our ponies for an ice cream.”

Pope Pius XII signed a Concordat with Hitler,

Actually he was not Pope at the time – it was 1933.

The Papal concordats were not negotiated between the Vatican and the secular states with which it was on friendly terms – they would not have needed guarantees from friends. The need for concordats were prompted by the increasingly strained relationship between the Church and the Nastis.

It would provide legal foundation for protecting Catholics right to worship, as well as protection of Catholic institutions (schools, churches etc.) and a framework by which complaints could be lodged and pursued.

At the same time the Pope, Pius XI, was seeking a similar agreement with the USSR. Once again, not because the Church and the Russians were natural allies, but because they were not.

MiningWatch Canada is estimating that “[Three] billion tons of mined metals and minerals will be needed to power the energy transition” – a “massive” increase especially for six critical minerals: lithium, graphite, copper, cobalt, nickel and rare earth minerals
Over the next 30 years 7.5 billion of us, we will consume more minerals than the last 70,000 years or the past 500 generations, which is more than all of the 108 billion humans who have ever walked the Earth.
Mining requires the extraction of solid ores, often after removing vast amounts of overlying rock. Then the ore must be processed, creating an enormous quantity of waste – about 100 billion tonnes a year, more than any other human-made waste stream.
18,740 pounds of purified rock to produce 2.2 pounds of vanadium
35,275 pounds of ore for 2.2 pounds of cerium
110,230 pounds of rock for 2.2 pounds of gallium
2,645,550 pounds of ore to get 2.2 pounds of lutecium
Also staggering amounts of ore are needed for other metals.

I have a vague memory of “super clinics” being established years ago by a government. Wonder what happened to them

It was Gillard who established the Super Clinics, an idea I originally mocked, until I visited one several years ago. Everything is there – GPs, physio, podiatry, psychology and a range of specialists – all under the same (solar panel covered) roof.

The GPs are excellent and all advertise an area of special interest, ie, women’s/men’s health, aged care, sport injuries, chronic pain management etc. A five bed clinic, staffed by four nurses, provides wound dressing, vaccinations, infant health checks, INR monitoring, infusions etc.

While there are a few doctors and registrars from Indian or Pakistani backgrounds, the vast majority of staff are white. Most importantly, all deliver impeccable patient care.

My only criticism of this Super Clinic is the Gillardesque extravagance courtesy of OPM. The reception/waiting area is enormous with lounge chairs arranged in sweeping bays, wasting a huge amount of space. The ceilings are mystifying, with bright yellow slats hanging at various angles, matching the yellow light pendants. A large atrium in the centre of the complex features an assortment of trees and more yellow arty statements. All fripperies which add no benefit to patient care.

It relates to heart attack cases such as Shane Warne and Kimberly Kitching. I cringe when I see people trying to use their deaths as examples of Vax deaths….. Both clearly had multiple issues at time of death that could contribute to heart attack. People too easily related it to the Vax.

Hold on there, us ‘crazy antivaxxers’ didn’t write the rules for this game – we just spent most of the last 3 years labelling everyone with a +PCR at the time of death as a “COVID death”. Even now they *still* call them ‘with covid’, which subliminally links said deaths TO covid.

There were plenty here calling out the “died with Covid” vs “died from Covid” at the time.
So any use of the lazy formula “aged under 60 + died suddenly = vax death” can expect to draw some fire as well.
I see Indolent has fallen back on the defence of “Gee, there might be a bit of hyper-bowl, but it raises interesting questions”.

It would be good to live in an Australia in which race was inconsequential. But the Voice entirely removes that prospect. Racial politics is at its heart. In turn, this means that questions which otherwise need not be asked must be asked and answered. One of those questions, a fundamental one, is who will the Voice represent?

Again, to be clear, the Voice will not be comprised of delegates. It will be comprised of “representatives.” But representatives who don’t have to present themselves and their records to eligible voters at regular intervals; even if it were practicable, which it isn’t, to delineate the body of such voters. Quite simply, this is not an acceptable model in a liberal democratic country. Democracy was described by Winston Churchill as the least worst form of government, precisely because parliamentary representatives, and therefore governments and leaders, could be voted out.

The Voice, a racist concept within the Constitution, is a bad idea per se. Run by unelected people, it has every chance of becoming a fiefdom. That would not be a benign, never mind beneficial, addition to Australia’s national life.

‘Blak Greens’ say they won’t support Indigenous voice without treaty negotiations

The Greens’ First Nations advisory group has laid out its conditions for supporting the voice to parliament, saying it must be subject to treaty negotiations with the government.

Pending further negotiations with the government, the Greens are holding out on explicitly supporting the looming referendum, wanting further progress on all three elements outlined in the Uluru statement from the heart: truth, treaty and voice.

Sovereignty, treaty, and reparations.

The public health system is a cost v time trade off. Once you stop using price as a resource allocation method to balance supply and demand for medical services (which can’t really work anyway) you need some other way to deal with demand exceeding supply. In non urgent cases this is the wait list. On the cost front, new drugs and procedures ensure new treatments are never far away. Health will always be chasing its tail. On balance, the Australian system gets the job done although you suspect there would be plenty of sources for efficiencies.

Husband has had necessity to attend two different ERs in Sydney in the last 6 months – both genuine emergencies with impacted bowel and the other – what we were sure was Cellulitis (which nearly killed him a decade ago). We observed many patients with mundane complaints who should have consulted a GP. I have always wondered why 24 hour General Practices are not set up within public hospitals to attend to such patients.

It is unacceptable to hear about genuine emergencies waiting for hours in ER and even ambulances “ramping” with patients requiring urgent attention. My own grandson was sent home from a prominent Sydney public hospital with a jaw broken in two places because theatre space and a specialist could not be found. It was only through personal contacts that he was finally operated on by a microsurgeon at another hospital.

Almost everything I’ve read about Cardinal Pell has disregarded his acquittal and left an impression that he sexually abused children and helped cover up the crimes of other priests. It is not at all surprising that most people give vent to anger and hostility if it comes up in conversation.

The only way to counter this is to tell them bluntly that, like many others, Pell was falsely accused. His accusers were lying.

What ? How dare you ?

Malice. Money. That’s what I’m talking about.

Just the Facts, Ma’am: False Accusations Against Catholic Priests Are Now At Epic Proportions
MAY 13, 2019 BY THEMEDIAREPORT.COM

Shakedown of the Catholic Church
Looking for dollars: The fraud against the Catholic Church

The media will never tell you this, and the professional victims’ groups will outright lie. But facts are facts.
Bogus abuse accusations against Catholic priests are rampant. The fraud being perpetrated against the Church is now off the charts. But don’t take our word for it. Here are the numbers:
? In 2011, a declaration submitted to the Los Angeles County Superior Court asserted that a former FBI investigator examining abuse claims against priests in Los Angeles had determined that “ONE-HALF of the claims were either entirely false or so greatly exaggerated that the truth would not have supported a prosecutable claim for childhood sexual abuse.” (The capital letters are in the original document.)
? In 2016, in a church of 70 million people in the United States, 25 current minors came forward alleging that a current priest had recently abused them. Some of the cases still remained under investigation a year later, but of the 13 allegations in which a determination was made, only two were found to be “substantiated,” while the remaining 11 (or 85%) were found to be completely bogus.
? According to independent annual audit reports, as little as 15% of all accusations against Catholic priests in any given year are even deemed “substantiated” by the very lenient standards of diocesan review boards, with the majority of accusations deemed either “unsubstantiated” (indeed false*), “unable to be proven,” or still under review.
? [Updated October 2021] The Archdiocese of Boston – arguably the most publicly transparent with regards to accused priests – has published the names of 61 priests who have been determined guilty of abuse by either canonical of civil proceedings. Yet it has also concluded that 38 priests have been falsely accused. In other words, nearly 40 percent (38.4%) of priests in Boston are determined innocent after a complete investigation. Let that sink in.
And then there’s the money
money
Yes, it’s all about the money
In an article only a few weeks ago in The New Yorker, the Archdiocese of New York openly admitted that it has “lenient standards of evidence” when it comes to doling out some $61+million to accusers and that it has paid on many “weak claims.” The archdiocese pays out on flimsy cases “in order to lead to a collective sense of resolution,” according to the article, whatever that means

.
That the Church regularly pays out on rickety claims should not surprise any longtime reader of this site. We reported a while back how the Diocese of Houma-Thibodaux, a small diocese in Louisiana, openly acknowledged that even though “there has not been a case that we deemed to be true,” it had paid out at least one financial settlement for a claim alleging abuse decades earlier.
Simply put: Fraudsters, flimflammers, and mental cases now score big cash settlements for themselves by making claims of past abuse. And the more the Church pays out on these bogus claims, the more claims it gets. Why not file suit? You have nothing to lose!

Consult, X-ray in next room, Blood taken processed in machine next door – results immediately, prescribed medication & issued medication by same Doctor, all in one visit at the one office.

Price, not much more than GP cost at my (Mainly Female & Excellent GPs) Medical Centre here in OZ

Currently standard consult $95 before Medicare Rebate $39.95, and would have to get separate Blood then wait for results, plus go to one of many X-ray clinics around Cremorne for X-Ray, plus go to Pharmacist to get meds dispensed.

Like the one stop Swiss approach.
