He was making the point (if you can call it that) that if Pius XII was not in hell then Pell would be spared.

Look, stupid, you jumped in on my original comment and spouted all the things that Hitler’s Gubmint agreed to do for the RCC in the 3rd Reich under the Concordat.
Since4 you had that info at your fingertips, I asked you what Pope Pius XII agreed to in return.
Y’know, the quid pro quo?
Suddenly, it’s all Secret Squirrel, I’m wasting your useless time, and by mentioning the Concordat I’m consigning Pell to Hades.
I mean, c’mon man, don’t double down on stupid.
Just answer the f*cking question?
All this argument over individual cases misses the point: there were very real safety concerns over the COVID Vaxxes from day one and it is now clear that these were well founded. Excess deaths are up 15-20% in the highly vaxxed countries, began pretty swifty after the vax was rolled out and cannot be attributed to COVID itself because, even by the very broad definitions of COVID deaths used, these excess deaths well exceed COVID deaths.
Anyone who looks at the forest, not the trees, can see this. At some point, all the enthusiastic devotees of the vax cult have to admit that, or it never ends.
Republican Party of Kentucky, Home State of Mitch McConnell, Receives Generous $1 Million Donation from Pfizer
January 14, 2023 – Sundance
As many have eloquently said before, politics is a circle of money. The politicians provide taxpayer funds to selected private sector businesses, and those corporations fund the political efforts of the politicians. It’s a circle of interests disconnected from the American electorate.
In the latest example, the pharmaceutical corporation Pfizer, a multinational who received billions in taxpayer funds for their COVID-19 vaccination and other efforts, now gives a generous $1 million contribution to the Republican Party of Kentucky to expand a new building for the state party. Kentucky is the home state of Senate Leader Mitch McConnell.
Nothing to see here, move along, move along folks….
KENTUCKY – In what may be the largest political contribution ever given to a political party in Kentucky, the drug maker Pfizer Inc. gave $1 million last month to the building fund of the Republican Party of Kentucky.
A report filed by Republican Party of Kentucky Building Fund last week with the Kentucky Registry of Election Finance listed the $1 million from Pfizer along with five other big corporation contributions in the final quarter of 2022 totaling $1.65 million.
That is an extraordinarily large haul for the fund which had raised only $6,000 during the first three quarters of 2022. (READ MORE)
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.

Whatever form the offensive takes, I think there has to be a credible threat of a thrust south from Russian forces built up in Belorussia that interdicts the flow of NATO supplies through western Ukraine. If that actually takes place, the effective isolation of Kiev could occur.

Can you believe there is a 2 hr crockumentary dedicated to the career and achievements of Pelosi?
Made by her daughter apparently.
I note two dynamics regarding leaders by the left.
First there is a sickening propensity to deification of and hagiographies to their heroes. Obama, Whitlam, Stalin, Castro etc.
Second, and far more satisfying, is the sight of lefties when they turn on their heroes: RBG, Keating, for example.
RBG was like the Stephen Hawking of progressive politics in the US, seeming to become more majestic as their bodies deteriorated – as if their spirit had to shed their physical form.
But then RBG doed and events were ripe for Trump to nominate her replacement. Suddenly progressives were angry with her for not resigning earlier – something they had never wished for earlier.
Pelosi is walking a fine line. Even after her grating petulance during the Trump years, much enjoyed by the left, if they start blaming her for not codifying Roe v Wade she can expect to be ritually excoriated by the very same people who feted her.
Leftists were exasperated with RBG while she was alive for not resigning. Also, I haven’t seen anything blaming Pelosi.
Has Keating been cancelled? I must have missed that memo.

In particular, stop removing Aboriginal children from their parents.
Apparently, it’s still going full steam ahead, 30 years later.
Those who oppose the removal of children from their parents must never have read the reports – such as those which led to John Howard’s “Intervention” – which describe the appalling sexual abuse of so many Aboriginal children in their family environments. A great many – though not all, of course – occur in those remote communities endorsed as a “return to country” – where neither tribal nor civil law prevails.
Many on this blog will know of my affection and interest in our indigenous people – past and present. I am familiar with much of their societal customs – good and bad – and I don’t have any illusions about contemporary Aboriginal life. Tribal life in the past was brutal, by our standards. Many practices, particularly in very hard times, would shock contemporary Australians. However, strict “skin” taboos seem to have prohibited much of the incest and sexual violations that has been seen in modern times. Leaving children in families where they are routinely violated is abhorrent.
In my humble opinion the plight of many Aboriginal communities has been created by administrators who simply do not understand Aboriginal life and assume that communities themselves will enforce order. It is a nonsense that does not recognise a patriarchal society in freefall when allowed to operate outside of the larger society.
The “good stories” resulting from the so-called “Stolen Generation” are never acknowledged. But integration into the whole community should be a goal.

In fact, in 2020, I warned on SincCat about Pfizer’s terrible record regarding drug rollouts and the compensation and court cases they have been involved in over the years.
Why? Because a family member who happens to work in the pharma industry alerted me to it.
At that stage everyone* was looking forward to something emerging. Why? Because Trump. And then the tune changed very quickly as 2021 wore on, vaccines were rolled out along with a dodgy new POTUS and problems with AZ and then the mRNA substances appeared. I remember the whole thing very clearly and the debate and worry over foetal cell lines being used. This all continued into 2021 and onto the transition to DashCat and FlashCat.

Bolta:
ABC star Phillip Adams claimed two weeks ago he couldn’t be a racist bigot because his white-complexioned wife, former model Patrice Newell, had turned out – surprise! – to be Aboriginal.
There are plenty of reasons to laugh at Adams’ excuse, not least because neither he nor the adopted Newell had any idea when they married that Newell had an Aboriginal ancestor.
But I’ve now found one more reason not to buy the old fraud’s defence to the deserved criticism he got for telling Malaysian-born signer Kamahl that cricket legend Sir Donald Bradman treated him as a friend only because he was an “honorary white”.
It’s The Penguin Book of Australian Jokes, which he and Newell put together in 1994, when Newell was still a white and Adams was the Labor-appointed chairman of the National Australia Day Council.
I’m shocked. It includes the most disgustingly racist anti-Aboriginal “jokes” I’ve ever heard.
A typical one starts: “Jacky was sitting on the stoop …”
Yes, his and Newell’s “jokes” refer to Aborigines as “Jacky”.
Another “joke” has an Aboriginal walking into a pub with one thong: “The barman asks, Did ya lose a thong, mate?” “Nah, I found one.”
The worst, which I won’t repeat, involves a “Jacky” found injured after falling from a car with “dents in every panel” and “nine black fellows in the back, all drinking warm sherry”, plus “six dogs on the front seat”.
How does Adam still have a job at the ABC? How did he get to be a foundation member of the Australia Council and chairman of the Film, Radio and Television Board, awarded no fewer than four honorary doctorates and an Order of Australia?
Adams in his preface admits the jokes are racist but pompously claims he included them “because it’s important to understand what mainstream Australia regards as funny in the 1990s”.
These “jokes”, he insists, “are the most honest indicators about (sic) what we are really feeling.”
Speak for yourself, Phillip. The mainstream Australia I knew never thought this crap funny, and shame on you and Newell, now calling herself a “proud Gundijtmara woman”, for having published such sick stuff for cash.
I mention this book because Adams is a perfect prototype of the modern moralist, who condemns others for the sins they themselves display.
Think of global warmists such as Leonardo DiCaprio who fly on private jets. Think of Prince Harry, selling his royal family’s secrets for squillions while complaining about intrusions on his privacy.
Or think of supporters of the Voice – Labor’s plan for a kind of Aboriginal-only advisory parliament – who claim they’re fighting racism while pushing for apartheid.
Those supporters predictably include Adams, once a lion of our cultural elite, who hitched himself to every popular Left-wing cause from Gough Whitlam to global warming, including the anti-Catholicism that has him now re-tweeting jeering abuse of George Pell after the Cardinal’s death last Tuesday.
Yes, Adams is a type. Like many of that purulent collective that controls the ABC and many other cultural institutions, his posturings seem driven more by tribalism than morality.
For instance, Adams recently boasted he’d “made it mandatory” at the National Australia Day Council to choose as Australian of the Year someone who’d make conservative broadcaster Alan Jones “apoplectic”.
A joke, you say? If so, it’s one he repeated for two decades – claiming back then his aim was to “discompose calcified conservatives”, which makes me wonder how many worthy Australians Adams refused to honour just out of partisan spite.
In much the same way, his support for illegal immigrants seemed driven more by a tribal contempt for the millions of Liberal voters who’d kept his Labor mates out of office.
Adams, a long-time Labor Party member, denounced the “mass of Australians” who backed the Howard Government’s tough border policies as “little people” with “the racism of nice people who live in nice houses”, voting for a Prime Minister who “speaks at the deep, dark depths of our mediocrity”.
Behold the voice of a colossal snob, a multi-millionaire hurling abuse at “little” Australians from his 3500 hectare organic farm.
Yes, abusing the same Australians he’d once sold books with racist jokes about “Jacky” that he and his wife selected in the revealing belief they reflected “what we are really feeling”.
In Adams’ case, I don’t doubt it. From Jacky jokes to the Voice – for Aborigines deemed too different by our elite to handle our democracy – isn’t really such a big step.

As for not removing Aboriginal children, are you joking? the only people I ever hear talking about “stolen children” have never been to an aboriginal community or visited any town in NW Western Australia or the NT or South Australian places like Ceduna, there are plenty of places in NSW and QLD as well.
Go for a walk around Kununurra at 2 AM on any night and tell me about “stolen children”.
On a lighter note, I have just tasted the first nectarines from our orchard. The crows took the sparse fruit from the plum trees, but we netted the nectarines before they ripened. The nectarines are perhaps the sweetest I have tasted in years. Not big fruit, but very tasty.
No apricots this year, but plenty of apples and pears still ripening. Our grape vines also have plenty of fruit, but I suspect the crows will get these when they ripen and we return to Sydney. Except for our tiny house vineyard, the grape vines are trellised over a long colonnade from our garden gate to the front steps, and it is too long & difficult to net.
The damn crows have been eyeing it all off from the big box gums in the adjacent paddocks.
ZK2A:
How come I never hear the question “What is worth preserving about the Aboriginal Culture?”
From what I’ve seen of it, someone needs to pull the sheets up, tip toe out of the room and quietly close the door. Let nature take its course.
Aboriginal culture as practised before the white arrived is dead. Let it rest in peace and give it a little dignity. The selling and deification of the inherited trinkets of a dying culture is the same as the tomb robbers of the Egyptian Pharaohs – it’s tawdry and pathetic, and just cheapens all the people involved.

Not everyone is buying the narrative, especially those closest to the action in the 1970’s and 1980’s.
Had dinner last night with half a dozen old chums from boarding school, some of whom I had only seen a couple of times since school. One of the wives, thinking she was on safe ground, launched into a “rot in hell, Pell” rant.
Every one of the blokes (including her hubby) set her straight about who did the shifting (Mulkearns and Little) and who did the abusing (Ridsdale, Bale/Dowlan, Best, Coffey, Ryan etc).
All of us knew someone who had been abused, and hate the grubs who did it, but all thought Pell had been stitched up, both on the Cathedral case and the “shifting them around” accusations.
I think the woman who raised it was genuinely shocked at the response from us all.

The dubious case for a Treaty
All of the above factors are reasons why Australia did not form a national treaty. This was not preordained or based on abstract legal doctrines. Rather, it was historically contingent to the circumstances the colony found itself in, and unravelled over time, based on the political nature of colonisation and the relationship they had with the Indigenous population.
Whether it is historians or activists who ignore the complexities of our history without considering the proper context the British found themselves in after 1788, Australians should be cautious about calls to form a national treaty. For instance, with whom would we sign the treaty? Not only are many Aboriginal people today of mixed race, but Aboriginal people themselves represent hundreds of different “nations”.
As I hope this article has demonstrated, it would have been neither right nor wrong to sign a treaty in 1788. The government at the time lacked the need and ability to form one. Australia already has over 800 regional treaties with indigenous groups. As Peter Sutton points out, these land grants have made no difference to social outcomes.
A national treaty cannot change the crimes of the past and the disadvantages of the present. Forming one would not unite us but divide us.

This lead to me being piped off this ship, which was a bit awkward because RAAF Reserve MOs are no briefed on how to handle this.

As an anthropologist who lived in Aboriginal communities with his own family, Sutton has a very clear idea of the falsities of the government narrative.

” Excess deaths are rising around us. The fact these deaths are happening world-wide means the attempt to blame them on a failing NHS or striking ambulance drivers is for the birds. It is another bid to distract people’s attention from the elephant in the room.”

Incidentally when it comes to similarities it strikes me that thinking one is intellectually superior, the ultimate product of the enlightenment, in fact, who looks down in smug self-satisfaction at lesser mortals, especially if they profess to be Christian, is a characteristic of Monty and Matrix, one can feel the smirks as they post their latest oh so witty oh so clever barb.
Yes.
My mother/parents became a career foster family when I left home for school. Our second kid was a lovely young boy who however had been taught to let off handbrakes. Also to do whatever you told him not to, as soon as you weren’t looking. A few vehicles and tractors rolling free on the home hill resulted in him finding another home. Of course confidentiality means you don’t get to hear how people go after they leave; all the best I hope. Sweet kid otherwise.
Some kids however, test their new families very hard. ‘Placed with loving families’ is a simplification; a great family can be converted to a web of apparently mutual abusive relationships by the kid coming into conflict with the foster family, just by doing what kid and families do. A kid with a history of sexual abuse can be an abuser, in their next placement. And other over-the-top behaviors destroy peace for the parents.
Quite a few marriages break up from the stresses. My mother lost her teaching job partly as a result of complaints about foster kids she brought to our home, our town, our school. Its still a live issue, and it started over 40 years ago!
So successful foster families, a huge hat tip to you all, kids, parents and welfare officers all.
And race doesn’t come into it – its the family the kids come from and the sainted parent that makes most of the difference.
Look at the excess death numbers and then the individual cases. See if the cases support your hypothesis.
That is what I meant by looking at both forest and trees.

“I thought that was what scientists did.”

Despite the *desperate* attempts of our ‘wise health rulers’ and the gullible public, to not see it, multi-sigma jumps in excess deaths have been seen in pretty much *all* the highly vaxxed countries, starting shortly after the vaxxes were rolled out, and NOT explained by COVID deaths themselves…
Your move deniers, if the Vaxxes aren’t a prime suspect, what is? What else could have caused such an unprecedented, global effect?

One of the major issues creeping up in the Communities, was the Grandmother type who took in all the kids, fed and – with assistance – clothed the kids who been abandoned in situ by the parents. Said parents rarely helped with funding, it was grans job if she took them in.
The issue was the parents didn’t learn the parenting skills they needed to take over from Gran. So the problem of children socialising children is now coming home to roost. It was predicted twenty years ago this would happen, and the Canbra Mob just kept demanding more money, more resources, and less responsibility.

Glad you know more about Australian politics than me, Bern.
I’ve had only a lifetime of studying it for a living, especially the failure of referendums.
Tom,
you weren’t a long distance runner, perchance, at School?
I am not addressing you (or any other individual here) personally, Calli, of being a denier, or anything else. I have used my long experience in the medical industry, and thousands of hours of research, to offer the blog readers the opportunity to become aware that the vaxxes are likely neither ‘safe’ nor ‘effective’.
What they do with said opinion is up to them. I am past trying to convince anyone, its up to them what they do with the information.
Duk
Delayed medical treatment during the worst of the COVID is most certainly a potential factor. And, reliance on data from heavily vax countries would be obvious. Highly vaxed countries would be the rich nations and theoretically their stats would be miles better than say India where a large number of the population aren’t even registered at birth nor death.
You criticize the people by calling them deniers. I would be 100% correct in suggesting that if we were able to unearth the question about excess deaths, your side (your side being the side certain the vax caused these excess deaths) would say the findings were fraudulent.
I don’t think we will ever get to the truth because the data is too unreliable, but I’m open to giving credence to the fact that the vaccines caused many deaths. We don’t know
But FFS sake, your side ghoulishly reporting some young person dropping dead in a population of 8 billion people is somehow indicative the vax caused the death? I mean, really? Try and not be so arrogant in such an uncertain world.
Yes Robert Sewell I failed to mention those elders who took on their grandkids.
Please put me in that camp Doc. I deny the certainty vaxes caused deaths because I don’t have any data to support such a finding even though I suspect it’s possible.
Tree v Forrest again…. sigh…….
Behavior change!
The colossal social pressures of lockdowns and isolation meant people not living fully and noticing they early signs that bring them to the doctor, then telephone consultations that don’t get deep, then a last-days diagnosis of cancer. As for vaccines ‘turbocharging cancer, I am skeptical. I think the disruption of people’s interaction with the medical system is the bigger reason.
Biden & His Declassified Documents
From Armstrong Economics –
“There is something really rotten in the real land of Oz – Washington DC, There is absolutely NO WAY suddenly Democrats would reveal that they have found classified documents in Biden’s various locations. They have manipulated the press to hide the Hunter Laptop and these documents all before the elections. They stormed Trump’s house as they have NEVER done in the history of this nation no matter how heated the politics have been. It is even debatable if that would hold up at the Supreme Court level. But all of this is curious at best, but there is something far more sinister behind the curtain.
Revealing that Biden had classified documents and now the Attorney General had to appoint a special prosecutor, there is no way they can indict Trump on that theory without indicting Biden. But all of that seems to be just the misdirection. Biden’s mental capabilities are failing and to pull off World War III, they may be using this ploy that compels him to resign and at the same time tar & feather Trump for 2024. They need someone who is not the brightest bulb in the box but who will just read the prepared speeches on cue.
Something just DOES NOT SMELL right with this entire affair. With the Republicans now in charge of the House, that is where the investigations start. The computer had warned if you recall, that there was a risk that the president during this wave would not complete a term. It turned out that the precise day of 2022.966 was December 19th, the very day that the January 6th Committee recommended criminal charges for Trump. There are people in DC who respect our model. They know that indicting Trump will seriously divide the country and result in rising civil unrest. On top of that, with the Republicans now launching an investigation of the Democratic investigations, they need a diversion.
Harris sought the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination but withdrew from the race prior to the primaries. Joe Biden selected her as his running mate and their ticket went on to defeat the incumbent president, Donald Trump, and vice president, Mike Pence, in the 2020 election. Harris’ ECM chart interestingly lined up for 2020. But it also lines up with 2025 when the sky looks very dark geopolitically. They may be preparing to eat Biden for lunch to further knock Trump for 2024. But also because they seem to hope that removing him from office will takes the steam out of the Republicans out to impeach Biden over Hunter’s Laptop etc. Use the declassified docs and kill two birds with one stone – Trump & Biden.”

Er… how does this cause healthy athletes to drop on the pitch? The dominant cause of the rise in excess deaths is *sudden* cardiovascular death, often in relatively young, apparenly healthy people – what form of ‘delayed medical treatment’ did they miss out on?
Dem goal posts, dey moving.
Explain the sigh, Duk. I don’t understand why looking down at every goulish report of someone dying on a hockey field is a tree or a forest.
In the past children have been offered to be handed over or adopted, from indigenous parent (or parent) to it-doesn’t-matter-who, so long as they’d take the toddler off their hands. The parents plain didn’t want the bother.
The condition was the ‘traditional adoption’ had to be informal, as the mother was handing over only the child, not the government payments that come with it.
The SAS detachment of the Drop Bear army? 🙂
Children offered to me, or my cohort, that is. (i.e. people who would be good parents & sufficiently financially responsible to raise a child)
Vicki says:

In particular, stop removing Aboriginal children from their parents.
Apparently, it’s still going full steam ahead, 30 years later.
Those who oppose the removal of children from their parents must never have read the reports – such as those which led to John Howard’s “Intervention” – which describe the appalling sexual abuse of so many Aboriginal children in their family environments.
A great many – though not all, of course – occur in those remote communities endorsed as a “return to country” – where neither tribal nor civil law prevails.
Vicki,
among my many 4WD Trips across OZ road test new 4WDs for Jouno Mate, Fitzroy Crossing was a place often visited
On August 2008 testing – Review of the Black Mira – Landrover Defender 110 – we camped across the river in Fitzory Crossing in Fitzory River Lodge – there was an item on ABC News that a 15 month old baby boy had been raped in Fitzroy Crossing and the Local Police had been unable to find a Sober Adult, let alone anyone related to the boy in the house – Kununurra, Halls Creek, Derby, Broome, Katherine, Darwin, Tennant Creek. Alice etc, always drunken aboriginal men & women belting the Crap out of each other at Night – let alone remote communities on Outback Tracks
The Chidlren were not “Stolen” they were removed for their own safety – now they stay in Violence
PS
Re Review of the Black Mira – Landrover Defender 110
some thoughts on the Defender 110
. Probably the best handling 4WD chassis that I have driven – handled the Humbert Track and road into Bungle Bungle with ease, and with Tyres set at 24 PSI rode the corrugations on the Tanami Track easily
. The bash plate under the engine is the best I have ever seen, strong and well designed.
. The handling was complimented by the General Grabber 235x85x16 tyres, that at 24,000km were showing little sign of wear, no chunking as had happened to some of the Cooper STs and handled dirt, river crossings sand easily – would look at buying them for my 4WD.
. Having ETC really appreciated and you could hear it working on scrabbly bits.
. Good on the black top, good cruiser but needs Cruise Control
. Surprisingly, having first thought whoops, when seeing the front seats, remarkably comfortable after nearly 9000km of Driving.
. Comfortable Steering Wheel and good vision over the bonnet for a shorty like me, but for someone as tall as my Co-Driver, there was not enough backwards movement in the seat
. The Steering Wheel needs to be reduced by about 7 cms and as one’s elbow is so close to the driver’s window, it would be nice to have padding on top of the door frame where the window goes into the door.
. Looking underneath, a really really well built and laid out chassis, could really take a lot of punishment and the coils and wheels at each corner added to the stability at speed on dirt.
. A real great sound system, i.e. great speakers, but could do with a MP3 player input as it is hard on the CDs on the rough stuff.
. needs power outlet in the rear and more than one power outlet in the front, especially as the battery is under the passengers seat.
. Originally thought the performance was pretty miserable and could not understand how you had been saying that it was really great on 4X4 of the Year, but after we blew the air filter out at Silent Grove off Gibb River Road, it real got up and Rock and Rolled.
The 73 Litre Fuel Tank with an effective 68 litres (as specified in Owner’s Manual) is just not suitable for Australian Conditions – interesting we put 72.61 Litres in at Shell Coles Express at Port Augusta just after turn-off from Stuart Hwy onto Highway 1 – given the fuel empty light had come on 20kms before and manual and our experience showed there should be 9 litres left at that point, I think motorists may be being ripped off.
. Space, with all our gear and extra wheel in the rear was quite cavernous.
. The Front Driver’s side and Passenger side need grab handles (especially for ageing geriatrics) to assist in getting into the Vehicle Seats
. Road noise is reasonably high but not unbearable.
. The Air-conditioning worked a treat and was really good especially for a black car.
. Fuel consumption goes up when going into the wind and obviously due to boxy shape is high for 2.4l diesel – we probably averaged around 11l per 100km with worst 12.66l per 100km into the wind going to Hall’s Creek and best 10.09l per 100Km.
Stroke or a heart attack. How do you know these sudden deaths were caused by the vax. It’s not as though people haven’t died suddenly before. A knock to the head causing an aneurysm could cause a fatality in seconds. There’s nothing unusual about an athlete dying.
I don’t know if a report I read is correct or not, but it said that there’s no evidence of more athletes dropping dead now than before.
Tell me, did you ever work in ER? How many young ER patients did you see coming into major hospitals on Saturday afternoon, which is peak sport time for young people?
I hope you can revisit that skepticism – it is well understood that the immune system (NOT surgery/chemo/RT) is the best defence against cancer – your body likely throws up cancer cells *daily* – the reason you don’t get cancer all the time is *because* your immune system detects and kills it (this is why AIDs patients, for example, often die of rare cancers like Kaposi’s Sarcoma). Vaccines, by their very nature, modify your immune system. In some cases this shifts it towards hyperactivity (likely explaining the explosion in inflammatory/immune mediated illnesses of children – asthma, food allergy, diabetes, eczema etc since they ramped up the childhood vaxxes in the 1980s). In other cases, it impairs its competence (hence the well reported association with shingles and Covid vaxxes) – it is well documented that the COVID vaxxes inhibit your immune system for the first 2 weeks after the shot. If said impairment is of longer duration, an association with cancer (and ‘turbo cancer’) is certainly plausible.

It would help with credibility if you called out some of the outrageous claims instead of conspicuous silence. Helps build trust.
Always was, always will be, neolithic. They admit that with the 60,000 year continuous culture claim. To be fair to them it shouldn’t be neolithic it should be paleolithic. I have no idea why they take pride in a culture that has existed for 60,000 years. Relative to other cultures our cultures changes at incredibly high rates. That’s a feature not a bug.
Driller, can I make a suggestion? With your turgid background discussing barely legal girls and “drilling” them, I wouldn’t be pressing the above comment too hard. Just some advice.
Brilliant. The 2023 unAustralian lamb ad.
To restate my analogy with Joseph ‘one death is a tragedy, 1 million deaths is a statistic’ Stalin:
‘One (sudden) death is an anecdote, One million sudden deaths is data’
Ie, you can’t argue that uncertainty about causality in any *one* case negates a massive spike in sudden deaths

Exactly right on, Chris. I was supposed to go in for elective surgery around early 2021. The procedures in order to get into a day procedure was extraordinary. I simply couldn’t be f’ed and let it go. I would have been one of the many.
I was an ER Registrar before ultimately streaming into Anaesthesia and ICU to let me work as a ‘Retrieval Dr’. I then spent 30+ years working at the ‘sharp end’. I also volunteered in contact sports (Motor Racing/Equestrian) for decades. I don’t think I *ever* saw an apparently healthy athlete drop dead suddenly without reason. Yes it happens, but its happening a lot more lately, particularly *after* the vax mandates, and appears to be caused by myocarditis – why are people so desperate to not see this>
“Regardless, The Voice will win with a huge majority.”
I’m not so sure Bern. Whilst the young woke will vote yes, I have a strong feeling older Australians and new migrants will vote a resounding NO.

Thank you, Cassie. I feel that we think “alike” on so many issues.
Thanks, but I really have no axe to grind here and I don’t care a whit about my ‘credibility’ … I have put a life time of experience and research into this and have robustly formed my opinion. I am past trying to convince others – I merely offer my opinon as a form of ‘noblesse oblige’. Personally, I think thing have to get a LOT worse before they can get better and no amount of science and data at this point will suffice. Hitler didn’t stop the holocaust when he got sent a scientific paper or a legal injunction. He stopped when Berlin was in flames.
Okay, so who were the casualties filling ER on Saturday afternoons? Sports has a contact element to it and eventually the sheer weight of numbers will lead to someone with serious injury – yes even heart attacks.
If it’s sealed with packaging it’s not a problem. I brought back two bottles of Mapuche spices from Santiago and Quarantine in Sydney didn’t bat an eyelid when I declared them, they were fine.

There were about 20K excess deaths in Australia, IIRC, in 2022. About 8K of these were COVID-related. How many of the remaining 12K have to be vax-related, as opposed to lockdown-related or something else, to be significant?
We have two sisters with behavioural problems stay one or two nights a week to give the mum some respite. Tiring for the wife but the girls are responding to less chaotic and more routeen household.
Where can we find the number? Are they broken down by state too?
Okay
Have no idea. Tell us how many you think were and why?
I would guess lockdown related were a lot in view of the massive restrictions placed on folks to go and see a doc or go to hospital. it was f’ing appalling.
Always was, always will be, neolithic. They admit that with the 60,000 year continuous culture claim. To be fair to them it shouldn’t be neolithic it should be paleolithic. I have no idea why they take pride in a culture that has existed for 60,000 years.
And I cannot explain why it is that I have such a strong connection with them. As I have posted here – I have a ceremonial ground on my property and continually find worked stone tools as I daily walk the land. There is an eel oven in a 200 year old Casuarina and even a possibility that a stone weir in the creek may have been a fish/eel trap. I feel their presence.
I collect Aboriginal desert art and years ago became friends with a couple who dealt in Aboriginal art. Through them I became acquainted with Central Desert people. I have witnessed all the tragedy and idiosyncrasies of contemporary Aborigines.
Of course they were a stone age – paleolithic – people. I have friends who contemptuously remark that the Aborigines were so primitive that they could not even boil water. It is a conundrum. But it does not change my special connection with these people that I hold in my heart.
Cats – call me a romantic, if you like. But it is what it is.
DocDuk, you mentioned “prime suspects” earlier. I’ll give you my shopping list in descending order. And keeping in mind that there will be overlaps, maybe substantial (and that’s why I like the idea of stats + cases to get to the bottom of it).
– vaccine injury
– medical neglect
– cohort distortion (boomers)
The first will be my preference simply because of timing and the stats re age. The second the result of lockdowns and services curtailed or diverted and/or reluctance to see patients face to face. The third is a wild card – there are just so many of us and we’re all getting old and all at once.

Duk, thank you for interesting information! Skepticism is denial if it cannot be revisited on evidence. Since I have anecdote not data, and although I imagine your career observations are very high quality, I hope to be open to learn more as more evidence comes in and I have high quality sources to choose information from.
Meanwhile my skepticism is a form of rational ignorance; I know enough now to refuse further boosters – pending better knowledge.
Now I want data. But the data I want is the economic harm done by Government. I think the GST data would be brilliant for categorising and estimating that. Value creation by labor-intensive business categories; employment losses, business closures by same categories would be nice. Suicides, bankruptcies and employment head counts month by month and by same industry categories would be good too.
And to compare the results with the subsidies employed and the end of subsidies…
The first thing to do is a comparative analysis of other events where excess deaths occur. An obvious example is recessions. Recessions cause a rise in excess deaths that can persist for several years after the recession ends. I don’t think the rate of excess deaths is higher in recessions than we are currently experiencing but establishing a benchmark will be helpful.

Top Ender, I lived in Doha for seven years and concur with Tom that the place to visit would be the souq. Loved the spice souq, the fabric souq and the jewellery souq, all located together near the Corniche. Close by is the fishing harbour so you may see the locals selling their catch. Maybe take a ride on a dhow. Pity the pearl markets are no longer.
Also agree that the hotels have great dining, alcohol available. The Pearl, further along the Corniche, did have some excellent places to eat but unfortunately, towards the end of our stay, the new Emir clamped down on service of alcohol there and it killed quite a few restaurants overnight. Don’t know if the ban has been lifted.
During our time there we always flew with Qatar Air and the service was excellent. They would however, not upgrade under any circumstances, unless you paid. In Doha, the business and first class lounges were great

Aborigines are a different Race, it’s totally illogical to expect them to conform with the Societal Norms of the White Race and just plain vicious to blame them when they inevitably fail.
Here’s my opinion though.
No child should be removed from it’s mother while still at the breast, and after that, only if the child is in danger of imminent death.
Of course, removing Aboriginal Children is DOCS bread and butter in the towns and cities, and that’s what it’s all about on the Micro level.

Duk, they are desperately trying to convince themselves that they didn’t get conned and did something stupid.

it is well understood that the immune system (NOT surgery/chemo/RT) is the best defence against cancer – your body likely throws up cancer cells *daily* – the reason you don’t get cancer all the time is *because* your immune system detects and kills it
About 17-18 years ago an Oncologist explained the same to me (I wasn’t the patient). He said that ‘mutant’ cells were perpetually coursing though our bodies and our immune system hunts them down and kills them. But, for reasons unknown, sometimes our immune system ignores one of these mutants which subsequently multiply and may in turn become a malignant cancer. I recall him saying that if the reason why these mutant cells were not intercepted and killed by the immune system could be established and corrected, that discovery would go a very long way towards eliminating virtually all cancers.
I daresay that the research has progressed substantially in the past (near) two decades but the explanation to a non-doctor like myself was enlightening.
So you didn’t see VikPol beating the shit out of the population month after month, boasting about accosting grannies, herding people into the covid hotels , letting old people die alone or with strangers, closing down businesses for violations etc?
You think locking people up inside the camps already built is beyond these grubs if they deemed it “for our own good”? They can do it and when they do it will all be legal. Only airheads living is some fantasy existence could think otherwise.
All this toing and froing about +PCR deaths and vaccinated deaths is pointless while it’s simply guess work either way.
All that would be required to prove whether a sudden death was vaccine related or not is an autopsy. Any sudden, unexpected death, particularly of a young person, should automatically be followed by an autopsy but how many actually are? Instead we’re told they turned their head too quickly or were walking too fast. How do they know? The embalmers speaking out were finding unique, rubbery clots of varying sizes in bodies. How many of these were actually investigated?
We can argue till the cows come home but until some genuine investigation is carried out there is no way of knowing for sure. However, it’s still worth noting the large volume of such previously unique occurrences. I’m no mathematician but those that are are talking about sigma events in the excess deaths figures.
But it does not change my special connection with these people that I hold in my heart.
Having that is part of being Australian. Where else in the world would you find a place named Kurunjang or Turramurra? It’s the trashing of the British achievement in Australia that makes me angry and the lie that it was some sort of Garden of Eden here before 1788. The marxist wreckers just see Aborigines as another tool or a plaything in the case of ‘Dr’ HG Coombes.
Ah yes, back when I was rendered an “untermensch”.
Cats, “the list” is long and there are many, many names on it.

Un-Australia: Australian Lamb film
Paul Hasluck wrote some good articles in Quadrant about the damage Coombes did to Aborigines during the McMahon era.
This discussion is going to turn out well. We have Hallward reciting Denninger and Maxi Transition opining on the psychology why people are reluctant to speculate on the stats.
You have pictorial proof of this, Eddles?
BTW, you still haven’t released the footage from inside of the Payne’s ministerial orifice when britknee the knickerless commenced her drunken vomit laden angling for a multi-million dollar taxpayer handout.
Put up or shut up, you sad travesty of a man.
Watched The Wheel of Time on Netflix, not bad though woke, of course. But the books were a bit woke too.
I’m now rereading book 1.
I remember thinking ages ago I would just read book 1 and then having to read the entire series.
Who’d be a Dark Friend?

Don’t let them get to you duk, I am just a lay person but have read thousands of pages of reports and studies of the Jab, I didn’t get one and never will. I believe that the truth will be told before long as there are too many people researching this issue for it to stay hidden.
Collectivism.
Fare question.
Keep asking this question, if most Australians over 60 received Astrazeneca and most excess deaths are in over 60s, how is pfizer to blame?
My memory of Jan 2021 is that the moderna jab was approved for general rollout *20* minutes after Biden took the oath of office.
That the petty partisan bureaucracy would give the go-slow order so that Operation Warp speed would not succeed while Trump was in office is just another sign of how the modern USA is not the America we remember.

WTF happened to us?
Collectivism.
Remember walking to school alone or with mates? remember playing OUTSIDE until called for dinner? remember games played without any or much equipment? remember hop skip jump in lunch hour? remember FUN? remember eating dirt? remember trying to cook tadpoles and eating them?
I do.

Some Clown asks:
What is the alternative?
The alternative to being taken from your home by strangers at the age of 4, placed in an Institution, raped, placed in other Institutions, raped, coming to the notice of Police, placed in an Institution, raped, going to Jail and dying at an early age?
It’s good to see that you are finally coming to a recognition of the role of state institutions in the child protection system.
To the extent that church institutions are still involved, they are now closely supervised by state agencies, which are responsible for supervising removals, adoptions, fostering, police, courts and jails. Most actions are now the direct responsibility of the state, and their failures, as you point out, are legion.
You don’t know what the alternative is? No room for your usual religious bigotry here.
Idiot.
Excellent question Rosie. Although I suspect there are problems with the vaxes and may have actually caused serious problems, it’s only suspicion and I not running around blogs like a headless chook. The fact is that because of the bullshit that happened during the worst of it, we may never know the truth because the medical system was an abortion at the time. Stats would be useless.
The elephant in the child abuse room is that the vast majority of abuse is perpetuated in the family home, by relatives.

Look at the latest USA Insurance data on the 40% increase in deaths (excess deaths) for the year 2021. They refer to those people covered by Group Insurance Policies of working age people from the early age 20s to age 64 years. The issue being, what has suddenly caused this? Climate Change?…………sarc.
And yet that is counterintuitive to the narrative expressed here. Let’s draw the threads together.
If Warp Speed was designed to enhance Trump’s presidency and by extension ensure re-election…
Why would a dodgy and deadly vaxx be withheld? And even if it was withheld unbeknown to its toxicity, why wouldn’t it be denounced by the incoming and now established regime as a “Trump vaccine” and therefore double ungood by those loyal to the Dems?
Yet I’ve heard nothing to this effect. No memes circulating, nothing. The incoming regime was all for it, including mandates.
Mum didn’t have a car then. We were mostly a one car family and dad took it to work.
We didn’t have computer games so we made do.
Yeah, parents couldn’t spread out the cash as they do now as we were poorer.
The girls played that, yeah.
Yep
Ummm no.
Are you freaking kidding me? Disgusting. NO!
The elephant in the child abuse room is that the vast majority of abuse is perpetuated in the family home, by relatives.
That’s certainly the case in 3rd nations’ homes.
Good point Woddney Wodden although, you’re too stupid to understand the nuance of your comment.
Have life insurance companies raised premiums on folks that have been vaxxed as this group (life insurance) watch stats like hawks?
Indolent nailed it in his post up thread. Autopsies will yield the truth, or if not the whole truth, a glimpse of light.
The same people who rely on statistics supplied by the government are the first to say don’t trust the government. Our society has become low trust overnight, yet we are still selective if our opinions are supported by the very people we distrust.
nambas – I had a seventies upbringing, so walking to and from school, dragsters and skateboards, park rugby league, collecting and selling golf balls from the nearby course and just being allowed to roam loose from morn ’til dusk. We thought ourselves to be indestructible.
