From student loans to masks, why does Biden want to keep us in a perpetual ’emergency’?
It’s long past time for Biden to end the national emergency and give up the tremendous powers that go along with it.
We’ve made it to 2023, nearly three years since the pandemic hit the United States in full force. The virus is less deadly, we have effective vaccines and life is pretty much back to normal for most of us.
If you’re President Joe Biden, however, the COVID-19 “emergency” is still front and center.
Don’t get me wrong. I don’t think Biden actually believes we are still in a state of emergency. He admitted as much in September when he declared the pandemic was “over.”
Yet the president and his administration have enjoyed the extra powers that have accompanied the national emergency declaration. And they are working hard to cling to this authority, which has granted the executive branch broader control over our lives.
“Someone has to do it. “
True, but no-one needs to hear you gloat about it 🙂

Pfizer, Fauci staffers sign off on research finding mRNA COVID vaccines produce worse antibodies
Second study in a month to find “class switch” to so-called IgG4 antibodies, known for their mild immune response, in mRNA recipients alone. Future of Johnson & Johnson’s traditional vaccine unclear as demand craters.
Less than a month after the CDC marked the two-year anniversary of the first administered COVID-19 vaccine by telling Americans to get a bivalent booster, two peer-reviewed German studies have found that mRNA vaccines — the vast majority of the U.S. market — induce worse antibodies compared to traditional adenovirus vaccines.
The first paper, published in Science Immunology Dec. 22, focused on mRNA boosters, while the second, published in Frontiers in Immunology Jan. 12, found the same association with the two-dose primary series.
The Frontiers paper has the added distinction of a Pfizer scientist serving as its editor and one of Anthony Fauci’s staffers at the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases as a peer reviewer, suggesting the mRNA vaccine maker and feds were aware of a potential antibody problem around the time Omicron-targeting boosters were authorized.
The findings call into question the government’s promotion of bivalent boosting even while regulators admit that newer COVID variants are evading vaccines.
New York City’s Department of Health told residents Friday the XBB.1.5 Omicron subvariant now comprises three-quarters of documented COVID infections in the city.
It is “the most transmissible form of COVID-19 that we know of to date and may be more likely to infect people who have been vaccinated or already had COVID-19,” the department tweeted. It didn’t answer Just the News queries about the evidence for its claims about vaccination or prior infection.
The CDC said XBB.1.5 accounted for 43% of documented infections nationwide last week, with under 3% from BA.5, which is part of the bivalent cocktail. University of Tokyo virologists shared research Sunday that found XBB.1.5 exhibits “profound immune resistance” and “augmented ACE2 binding affinity,” and hence “increased transmissibility,” due to specific mutations.

Elon Musk chose us to report on the Twitter Files. Here are the disturbing things I learned about the FBI
It’s time to investigate the FBI’s role in the Hunter Biden laptop disinformation campaign
By Michael Shellenberger | Fox News
Over the last month, a team of journalists that includes me has enjoyed extraordinary access to the internal emails and other documents of the social media platform Twitter.
As part of that investigation, I discovered that the FBI and intelligence community discredited factual information about Hunter Biden’s foreign business dealings both after and before The New York Post revealed them to the world in October 2020.
The story begins in December 2019 when a Delaware computer store owner named John Paul (J.P.) Mac Isaac contacts the FBI about a laptop that Hunter Biden had left with him.
On Dec 9, 2019, the FBI issues a subpoena for and takes Hunter Biden’s laptop.
It likely would have taken a few hours for the FBI to confirm that the laptop had belonged to Hunter Biden. Indeed, it only took a few days for the journalist Peter Schweizer to prove it. (See video from the tweet below.)
And yet the FBI did nothing to investigate the many signs of criminal activity revealed by emails and other documents on the laptop.
Notably, then-FBI General Counsel Jim Baker was himself investigated twice, in 2017 and 2019, for leaking information to the news media. “You’re saying he’s under criminal investigation?” asked a congressional investigator. “That’s why you’re not letting him answer?” To which Baker’s attorney said, “Yes.”
Ultimately, the FBI’s influence campaign aimed at executives at news media, Twitter, and other social media companies worked: they censored and discredited the Hunter Biden laptop story. By December 2020, Baker and his colleagues even sent a note of thanks to the FBI for its work.
The FBI’s influence campaign may have been helped by the fact that it was paying Twitter millions of dollars for its staff time. “I am happy to report we have collected $3,415,323 since October 2019!” reports an associate of Jim Baker in early 2021.
In response to the Twitter Files revelation of high-level FBI agents at Twitter, Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, said, “I have concerns about whether the government was running a misinformation operation on We the People.”
Anyone who reads the Twitter Files, regardless of their political orientation, should share those concerns.

Analogies are central to science. The fact that water waves, sound waves and electromagnetic waves have something in common gets abstracted to a wave equation which describes them all. The “analogy” gets turned into an abstract description of what things have in common.

In WA, when a SoE is declared, the government can indeed force you to have a vaccine: to be restrained, transported, undressed (if necessary) and forcibly injected.
PUBLIC HEALTH ACT 2016 – SECT 158
158 . Enforcement of requirement to undergo medical observation, medical examination
(1) If an authorised officer gives a direction to a person under section 157(1)(j) to undergo medical observation, medical examination or medical treatment or to be vaccinated, an authorised officer or police officer may use reasonable force to ensure that the direction is complied with, including, if necessary —
(a) to apprehend and detain the person to whom the direction applies (the relevant person ) and take the relevant person to a place where the person is required to undergo medical observation, medical examination or medical treatment or to be vaccinated in accordance with the direction; and
(b) to detain the relevant person at the place where he or she is required to undergo medical observation, medical examination or medical treatment or to be vaccinated in accordance with the direction; and
(c) to restrain the relevant person —
(i) to enable a medical observation, medical examination or medical treatment to be carried out; or
(ii) to enable the relevant person to be vaccinated;
and
(d) to remove anything (including underwear) that the relevant person is wearing, if —
(i) the removal of the thing is reasonably necessary to enable a medical examination or medical treatment to be carried out or, as the case requires, to enable the person to be vaccinated; and
(ii) the relevant person is given a reasonable opportunity to remove the thing himself or herself, and refuses or fails to do so.
That’s why I said the employee doesn’t ‘own’ it. They can’t, for instance, pass the job on to someone else, but they do ‘possess’ it for the term of the contract.
abortion doula
Because calling them a poisoner or fetus murderer doesn’t sound as new age and nice.
A Doula, is a (usually) lady who assists a woman leading up to, and sometimes during childbirth. In the bad old days they were probably referred to as “the pregnant ladies mother/grandmother”.
In todays debased times its referring to a person assisting an abortion, a 180 degree perversion of its original meaning.
They seem to look like you would expect as well.

Fun article in Phys.org yesterday, that electrons really do actually spin. So not just a convenient analogy. Or at least their electric field does, since the radius of the electron is so small that if it actually spins it does so faster than the speed of light.
Researcher posits that electrons do spin, thanks to their fields (18 Jan)
In this I thought to myself ok, why shouldn’t electrons spin faster than the speed of light? It’d be a fun question. Or are electrons actually singly charged quantum black holes, which would stabilize them by relativistic time compression – whereupon their surface (if such existed) could spin at the speed of light, and time would slow to a stop. I should study physics more. 😀

Yes, but we’re talking about different things. It’s right to demonstrate similarities in the example you presented. But argument by analogy isn’t valid. We all do it, but it’s invalid. A strong analogy may be able to persuade but that doesn’t mean it’s not fallacious. In fact, there is a case to be made that argument by analogy is a fallacy.

Re the Tucker monologue, I had no idea Bob Woodward was a former Naval Officer that only had recently resigned and been hired by WaPo, before he was briefed by Mark ‘Deep Throat’ Felt, the deputy head of the FBI and the head of COINTELPRO. The coincidences don’t end there either, 4 of the 5 burglars at the Watergate Hotel worked at the CIA. I mean, really. What actually happened with Watergate was a successful coup undertaken by permanent Washington, aka the Deep State. Just incredible.

Monty is still working on a sane rationale for why;
Crowds of hundreds of people could sit shoulder to shoulder in a packed food court inside an enclosed shopping centre, gorging food & panting all over each other.
While simultaneously Two people could not sit at either end of a table on the footpath of a cafe & nibble a biscuit, (“rejected by society for non-compliance with safety“)
While simultaneously Ten people could stand in a tight circle beside that cafe table & swig coffee & eat sandwiches as messily as they cared to.
Venn diagram please Monty.
Dover:
State mandated legalities aside. It is as Doc B said. It’s a contract, where a person provides the service of labor and the employer pays for the service. You have no claim or ownership to the job in a moral sense in a free market where the employee is an employee at will.
In this situation and this alone a person has no right to claim the job if the employer decides everyone should be vaxed.
However, that didn’t occur in Australia. The state forced employers to fire people or disallow them from associating with other employees through compulsion.

Flashback: Jane Goodall at Davos: We can solve climate change by returning the earth back to population levels of ‘500 years ago’ — Depopulating of a mere 7 billion people (19 Jan)
Incredible Dover, people have to know.
Dover it is incredible about what happened in the US 1972 to 74. That new information explains so much.
Not so straight forward if the employer is changing the terms of the contract mid-stream. Also, employees, lawyers, or the public at large, are perfectly entitled to dispute the relevance of the employer needing to know someone’s vaccination status compared to, for instance, whether or not they’re actually infected. An employer might be within their rights to request that an employee stay home if they’re displaying COVID symptoms, or to take a PCR test to exclude the likelihood of a COVID infection, but requiring them to take an experimental vaccine is another thing entirely, particularly when it doesn’t prevent infection or transmission.

No need you Jerkoff Cretin. That gap between your right ear and left ear just keeps getting wider………
Why is the FBI head Christopher Wray even at Davos?
Read what I said. We’re not talking about contract clauses. There are ‘contracts’ that mean crap in other countries like the US where you receive an employment “contract” but you’re still an employee at will.
In any event you appear to be curveballing this to suggest that you really do believe employees have ownership to a job. If you believe this then the state would have to have intervened with the mandates because the employer has no rights to decide.
You don’t have to give a reason to fire someone if they’re employee at will. You do where there are state based mandates restricting an employer.
I think the Deep State got a table.

That’s where the similarities end.
E = hv, E = 1/2mv^2 and so on.
The water pressure analogy for EMF is limited to anything less complicated than RLC, it simply cannot work with MOSFET etc.
See my earlier responses.
There’s something in the privacy act, especially regarding an individuals medical information that makes it extremely difficult for most employers to actually verify any information that is given to them.
If an employer were provided with fraudulent information regarding vaccination status or other medical data, it is illegal for a company to call up Medicare or a doctor to independently verify that information (not without a court order anyway)
You have written pages and pages using awful grammar, please exhibit some degree of self reflection please, at least for your own good.
Does anyone (Top Ender I’m kind of looking at you) know what the story is with our Taipan helicopters. They’re being retired 10 years ahead of schedule with big maintenance problems so there appears to have been a major procurement blunder here. I’m just wondering who made the decision to buy them (and why) and who should have but didn’t, step-up to say they were a piece of crap. I must confess, I didn’t even know we had them; thought we were still flying the Blackhawks.
Yes the Taipan aka NRH90 aka MRH90 is another piece of Eurocrap. Like the ARH Tiger. The competition was with Blackhawk in the first case and Apache in the second and we are now getting the Blackhawks and Apaches we should have had 20 years ago.
The Taipan has terrible engines which have only 2 bearings. They left out the center bearing but when shutting down the shaft bends so you have to take a startup slowly. No easy way to fix that. There were terrible problems in Europe with that helo. German combat boots went through the floor and the Norwegians put one on a ship for 3 weeks (nice non corroding composites you know – hah!) and were horrified at the condition of the thing when it came back. They are demanding their money back on their whole order.
We bought Tigers instead of Apaches because the Tiger didn’t carry as many Hellfires which was thought to placate out neighbours to the north (I want them to be terrified of us and what we might do if they piss us off). We already flew Blackhawks, had pilots and maintainers and were plugged into the Pentagon spare parts system.

The blame more correctly lies with the Project Managers in Defence, who might have been “persuaded” by the prospect of having jobs located in Europe to organise/supervise the contract, rather than in the US, possibly in those awful “Red” states.
Neither Howard nor whoever was Defence Minister at the time had the technical knowledge to overrule the advice of the technical “experts”.

The Maoris were similar and basically starving when Cook turned up.
I’d have to disagree with this comparison, somewhat.
Maori inter-tribal warring seems to have accelerated their development much more than the Australian indigenous peoples. They also had agriculture (as per. their Polynesian forebears).
The 3rd nations did nothing else other than inter-tribal warring! It didn’t help their development. The Maoris were also hunters and gathers and burners. They destroyed the forests of the South island and a lot of the North island. They made extinct dozens of the fauna, especially the large or Mega Fauna. Their agriculture was limited to spuds and roots. If the 3rd nations were 99% primitive than the Maoris were about 90%. But because New Zealandstan was a much smaller country with limited resources and a colder climate, I repeat, they were on their last legs. In short both the Maoris and the 3rd nations were saved by Cook and English society.
I’m not curveballing anything. I’m saying that if the employer can’t demonstrate the relevance of knowing my vaccine status then they have no business requiring it.
Sure, but justifying either arrangement requires a seperate argument.

The buck stops at the top. Blackhawks and Apaches was a perfectly defensible choice but as usual, Howard was a gutless coward.
I don’t know the science of bullet wounds Doc, but the claim the assertion that the wound – entry and exit- didn’t conform to expectations is bullshitting.

Three shipwreck survivors were on a lifeboat.
After several weeks stranded at sea, they’d nearly run through their supplies. Now that they were down to a single can of ham, they decided that to have the best shot of one of them surviving, the ham should go to the person who still held the most hope. So, they decided that they would all go to sleep that night, and whoever had the most pleasant dream would get the can of ham.
The next morning, all three awoke.
The first survivor said “I dreamed that I died in my sleep and went to the gates of heaven. The gates were made of gold and pearls, as magnificent as anything I’ve ever seen. Then the gates swung open for me, and I was greeted by Saint Peter and a choir of 100 angels”.
The second survivor said “I also dreamed that I died in my sleep and went to the gates of heaven. They were made of platinum and diamonds, ten times as magnificent as anything I’ve ever seen. Then, the gates swung open for me, and I was greeted by Jesus, and an orchestra of 1000 angels”.
They looked to the third survivor, who sat silent for a few seconds. “I dreamed that you two died in your sleep and I ate the ham”.
It has been explained to monty by several people MULTIPLE TIMES that the States made regulation mandating mandatory vaccinations which prevented people from working or put them under conditions akin to parole a convict might be subject to.
Drawing a child’s explanation of “but only Drs and nurses needed the jabs” is puerile, infantile and quite frankly insane.
The regulations were made without legislature oversight and were an anathema to our supposed constitutional law system.
Furthermore – and again for the SLOW CHILDREN like monty;
1. The mandates ramped up around 30 months after COVID 19 was in the west, as per PCR analysis.
2. Novavax was capriciously and without proper explanation delayed.
3. It was better as a vaccine, safer, did not require multiple doses and was/is ethically produced – unlike the AZ and mRNA vaccines, also;
4. NSW did not allow for any exemptions outside of the guidelines they made, which made no sense at all and were as callous as to cheerfully proclaim you would be monitored for at least 15 minutes in case of anaphylaxis. (Did people die from this from AZ/Pfizer? – Yes).
Even people in the NSW Health system who VOLUNTEERED to be Novavax test subjects could not get an exemption to be jabbed with AZ and Pfizer.

Dot, what is so good about Novavax? It hasn’t been around long enough for proper testing either.
None of the regulations prevented people from working or forced them into parole conditions. They prevented people from endangering others by their reckless selfish decision to free ride on others’ collective actions. The unvaxxed were perfectly able to work in fields not requiring vaccinations, i.e. the blue area in the Venn diagram. Do you understand now, or are you going to stubbornly deny that the blue area ever existed?
The Novavax stuff is irrelevant and shows the unserious nature of your argument. The timing was not vital to the issue we are arguing, either.
You cannot explain away physics.
Desperate, hysterical nonsense.
Lindley: You explain how the “Magic Bullet” wounded both JFK and Governor Connally.
Bugliosi: These conspiracy theorists not only lie when they’re controverting documentary evidence, but they also lie when there’s actual photographic evidence disputing what they’re doing. In their sketches, they place governor Connally [directly] in front of President Kennedy in the presidential limousine, and then they argue that a bullet coming from the right rear, passing through Kennedy, from right to left, would have had to make a right turn in midair and then a left turn to hit Connally.
If you start with an erroneous premise, everything that follows makes a heck of a lot of sense. The only problem is that it is wrong. There’s no question that Connally was not seated directly in front of Kennedy in the presidential limousine. He was seated to his left front. I have a photograph in Reclaiming History showing exactly where they were seated, and right along side of it I show sketches that they put in conspiracy books, [with Connally] right in front and the bullet is making a right turn and a left turn. But he was seated to [JFK’s] left front in a jump seat a half-foot in so the orientation of Connally’s body vis a vis Kennedy’s was such that a bullet passing on a straight line, through Kennedy, would have no where else to go, except to hit Governor Connally.
At the trial in London Jerry Spence asked [forensic pathologist Dr.] Cyril Wecht to characterize this bullet and he said, “It’s a magic bullet.” Bullets don’t even do this in cartoons, make right and left turns. On cross examination, I said “Dr. Wecht would you concede this bullet passed in a straight line through Kennedy’s body, soft tissue, if it did not go on to hit Governor Connally, as you claim it did not, how come it didn’t tear up the interior of the limousine, or hit the driver?” He said, “I don’t know. I didn’t conduct the investigation in this case.” I said, “Dr. Wecht, it sounds like you have your own magic bullet, because if it did not hit Governor Connally, did not tear up the interior of the limousine, did not hit the driver, it must have zigzagged to the left.” He said, “No, it may not have zigzagged to the left.” I said, “Well, did it hop, skip and jump over the car?” He said, “No, it did not have to perform any remarkable feat.” Then I said, “Dr. Wecht, what happened to that bullet after it exited the president’s throat,” and he said, “I don’t know.”
If we are to believe the conspiracy theorists, after this bullet exited the president’s throat, apparently, it vanished, without a trace, into thin air. They’re the only ones that have the magic bullet, and they’ve taken this magic bullet and wrapped it around the neck of the Warren Commission for all these years.
Lindley: And you discuss the headshot and the snap of the president’s head to the rear, as stressed in Stone’s movie.
Bugliosi: Millions of Americans thought that the shot came from the right front [with] the head snap to the rear. People saw this [in the Zapruder film] for the first time in 1975 on national television on ABC’s Good Night America with Geraldo Rivera. And millions said there must have been a conspiracy. The head snapped to the rear, the shot came from the front where the grassy knoll was, not from the rear where Oswald was, and that certainly is understandable.
At the trial in London, Jerry Spence showed that segment of the Zapruder film five times. I didn’t object, and I let him do it. And he said to the jury, it looked like Babe Ruth struck the president from the front with a bat. He said, “Mr. Bugliosi is trying to convince you folks that what you saw with your very own eyes never happened.”
If I never had an answer to that I think the verdict in London would have been not guilty. It would have created a reasonable doubt. But here’s the answer. You can’t see it by looking at the film; you have to look at the individual frames—which I showed the jury in London on a screen. At frame 312, the president’s head is okay. At frame 313, which is 1/18 of a second later, you see the president struck in the head, the explosion to the head. (There are 18.3 frames per second in the Zapruder film.) In frame 313, the President’s head [is] not pushed backwards, which would be consistent with the head snap theory, but it’s pushed slightly forward, 2.3 inches forward, indicating a shot from the rear, where Oswald was. This all-important moment of impact is much more important than what you see on the film: [in frame 313] the president’s head is pushed forward, indicating a shot from the rear. That is very clearly shown in the photo section of Reclaiming History. Also, a high-contrast photo of frame 313 [shows] this terrible spray of blood and tissue all to the front, indicating a shot from the rear.
The head snap to the rear [was from] nerve damage caused by the bullet entering the President’s brain causing his back muscles to tighten, which in turn caused the head to snap to the rear.
It sounds like boasting, but all the answers are in my book. The LA Times said that finally someone put all the pieces together, that Reclaiming History is a “book for the ages.” They said that nobody can possibly read this book without concluding that Oswald killed Kennedy and acted alone. The Wall Street Journal said it is unlike any other book ever written on the assassination. I have to make this choice of speaking candidly about it and coming across as boastful, but if I don’t speak candidly about it then they think it is just another book. It’s not just another book on the assassination.

In the case of the Seasprites we spent north of 1.4 billion dollars and got zero helicopters.
Originally meant to have a 3 man crew but Australia knows better. We’ll save the cost of a third crew member and fly with two. Meant total redesign of cockpit (for all of 11 helos). Right at the end someone noticed that the autopilot was single channel and if it failed the helo wasn’t mission capable at night or in bad weather. So we demanded a dual channel autopilot whereupon Kaman said fine, that’ll be x dollars thanks. We said, no, no it should be in the contract price. Kaman said “read the contract” It said single channel. In a huff, we ditched the whole project. It’s only taxpayer money after all.

Your diagram is puerile, juvenile, asinine…etc. You don’t mention at all what proportion of the economy was not subject to these rules.

If you want to go there… remember how many people were able to work from home during lockdown? Basically everyone except essential services. You know how many people lost their jobs to being unvaxxed, among 25 million Australians? It would be measured in the tens of thousands at most (very generously), i.e. a minuscule, tiny fraction. This is just not a major issue at all.

Abstract
Background: Early clinical data from studies of the NVX-CoV2373 vaccine (Novavax), a recombinant nanoparticle vaccine against severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) that contains the full-length spike glycoprotein of the prototype strain plus Matrix-M adjuvant, showed that the vaccine was safe and associated with a robust immune response in healthy adult participants. Additional data were needed regarding the efficacy, immunogenicity, and safety of this vaccine in a larger population.
Methods: In this phase 3, randomized, observer-blinded, placebo-controlled trial conducted at 33 sites in the United Kingdom, we assigned adults between the ages of 18 and 84 years in a 1:1 ratio to receive two intramuscular 5-?g doses of NVX-CoV2373 or placebo administered 21 days apart. The primary efficacy end point was virologically confirmed mild, moderate, or severe SARS-CoV-2 infection with an onset at least 7 days after the second injection in participants who were serologically negative at baseline.
Results: A total of 15,187 participants underwent randomization, and 14,039 were included in the per-protocol efficacy population. Of the participants, 27.9% were 65 years of age or older, and 44.6% had coexisting illnesses. Infections were reported in 10 participants in the vaccine group and in 96 in the placebo group, with a symptom onset of at least 7 days after the second injection, for a vaccine efficacy of 89.7% (95% confidence interval [CI], 80.2 to 94.6). No hospitalizations or deaths were reported among the 10 cases in the vaccine group. Five cases of severe infection were reported, all of which were in the placebo group. A post hoc analysis showed an efficacy of 86.3% (95% CI, 71.3 to 93.5) against the B.1.1.7 (or alpha) variant and 96.4% (95% CI, 73.8 to 99.5) against non-B.1.1.7 variants. Reactogenicity was generally mild and transient. The incidence of serious adverse events was low and similar in the two groups.
Conclusions: A two-dose regimen of the NVX-CoV2373 vaccine administered to adult participants conferred 89.7% protection against SARS-CoV-2 infection and showed high efficacy against the B.1.1.7 variant. (Funded by Novavax; EudraCT number, 2020-004123-16.).

The fact that there is a greater proportion of Aboriginal Members of Parliament than the proportion of Aboriginal people in Australia is not a valid argument against the Voice.
Every MP has a responsibility to represent all of their constituents – not just the non-Aboriginal (or the Aboriginal) ones – so if MPs do their job, no Voice is necessary.
If Aboriginal Australians need a special Voice to the Parliament, the logical extension is that every MP with constituents who are Aboriginal (which is probably all MPs) is failing those constituents.
Therefore, every MP who supports the Voice is admitting to their own failure as an MP and should resign immediately and fund the resultant by-elections.

“The fact that there is a greater proportion of Aboriginal Members of Parliament than the proportion of Aboriginal people in Australia is not a valid argument against the Voice.”
I agree with that. I also believe that opposition to the Voice should focus on the fact that any “Voice” written into the constitution is fundamentally racist and and will render non-indigenous Australians second class citizens in their own country.

Sleeping in a Glass Igloo. These are on the site of the Ice Hotel 25km from Rovanieme, in forested land. Pictures taken from the air show it looks like a small army camp, with a series of geodesic domes set out in a field of snow. You arrive, they give you your key, and you trundle your own luggage through the snow and ice, in the dark for our group. There are deliberately no lights to keep the viewing good for the Auroras and the only signage is numbering on the igloos. We stumbled around in almost no light clutching the map we were given, which was small and difficult to read. It was lightly snowing and Hairy’s glasses were fogging with it. I couldn’t find mine. So I am ducking between the igloos say this is 18, and we’re 15, so it should be nearby, but Hairy disagreed, saying it was somewhere near 25. After some more stumbling we realised we had missed the row on the outside perimeter, and fifteen was in that on the edge of the forest just across from 18.
There were steps up to it and a motion-sensitive outdoor light lit up the steps. We went in turned on the low lighting inside, as we noticed others had done, providing shadowy outlines of the top halves of guests moving around in their domes providing sporadic patches of light, for the domes were of framed specially heated glass to melt snow and keep the igloo warm, with a base wooden frame about four foot high. The entrance door was low at the top of the steps in order not to impede the glass much, resulting in Hairy cracking his head on it as he hauled in our suitcases. Much cussing and blinding about that, as I comforted his bruised ego as well as his satsfactorily solid temple. Thus we’ve both cracked out skulls on this trips with my skid and his failure to duck.
Inside there is a double bed with the pillows set not at the wall end but at the feet end, so that you may lay in bed and see straight up through the glass at the middle of the dome, and through all the side glass frames of the dome too. There is no TV, for the Aurora is purportedly the entertainment on offer. You have to switch on an Aurora Alarm when you enter so that at any time in the night, should an Aurora begin, the Aurora Watch at reception will buzz you awake to see it. The beds are twin ones that you can raise and lower individually should you wish to Aurora watch in a more chairlike position – rather like the beds in Business class on flights: dead flat or in various easy chair positions. The ensuite is small and thankfully has an opaque privacy screen around it. On the whole, it felt rather like being in a domed caravan. Sadly, as it snowed heavily we didn’t get to see any Aurora, but it was still fun staying a night there. With an Aurora running it woud have been – absolutely fabulous!
Something for the bucket list, Cats? Not too difficult to get to from Helsinki and an unusual experience. Pics taken from inside the igloos during a big Aurora are remarkable, and you could get lucky. Hairy had to dig us out as our steps had disappeared the next morning for breakfast. The provide toboggans for pulling luggage and children around the ‘camp’, but we managed to haul our luggage into an area where a bus had made a track.

That’s a horrifying picture painted there.

It also belies the intellectual weakness of the health fascism you are excited by.
m0nty=fa is excited by all forms of fascism.
Monty,
That was the situation facing Mrs D and I when we moved to Qld .
Now explain to me why it was better for Mrs D & I to spend an hour travelling with 20 other people, to the only station we could get to, by bus, spend a night in a hotel in Sydney so we could catch the single daily flight to Brisbane vs neighbours (vaxxed & isolating) driving us to a station 5 minutes away, but outside “Greater Sydney” so we could catch the train straight to the airport. Especially when the nearest Covid case was 50km away!
There was no way, using the bus we could get the airport the same day, yet if the neighbours had been able to drive us. Our car was on the Sunshine Coast before we arrived in Sydney
There was a window of time late in the vax roll-out when not everybody who wanted to be vaxxed had been able to access the jab, mainly due to Morrison’s incompetence. In that short-term scenario, mandates in specific industries were agreed upon by all sensible people to protect those who were vulnerable through no fault of their own. Everyone was “at risk”, since the ‘rona tended to expose those seemingly healthy younger people with undiagnosed conditions.
Do I still support mandates, now that that window has closed? No, as I said above.
Hospitality and retail were closed so the vaxxed and unvaxxed alike were out of work, nothing to do with jab status. You idiot.
Ah, another COVID analogy that fails if you think about it for one second.
Only stands if you assume government can solve peoples’ problems.
Which is the basic assumption of the Voice.
Just sayin’.
We shouldn’t get too bogged down on the vax mandates in particular. It was the lockdowns which were the real incursion against our rights and freedoms.
The Gucci bag reference is a simile, not an analogy.
I don’t blame you for not knowing the difference, MT. It’s a tricky thing to remember.
Lizzie – That’s one of your best ever. Having an alarm that alerts you to the Northern Lights is cool.
And I suspect wars have started because people have gone to the wrong igloo.
On the plane from Rovanieme to Helsinki I was seated next to a young man and, as you do we got chatting about experiences in Rovanieme. He was keen to talk and show me pics and videos of his great time dog sledding, reindeer sleigh rides (us too, I nodd) and then snowmobile riding and skiing (not us, I say). It was his first time skiing and we laughed together at videos of him and his friends, further up the plane, falling about. Turns out he was ‘Palestinian’. Where in Palestine? I enquire. Hebron, he says. Umm, troubles there in the past, I say mildly and he says not now. How do you come to be in the group and here? I enquire. He tells me he belongs to an ‘activity group’ who tour the world together, becoming a sort of family, and doing exciting things for young people. The things they do were the things rich kids the world over do. He showed me pics of three young girls seated further down the plane, all modern European girls, no hijabs etc. He then asked if he could ‘take my picture’ to show them his friendship with me. So he did, he sent it down to the girls, and they responded with a pic of the three of them all making V for Victory signs. You’d better tell them I am a grandma, I said, for the pic of me was very flattering. I think they’d been teasing him about girls, and maybe I was the joke. I don’t know, but it was interesting talking to him. He wanted to know what his group could do in Australia and what sort of animals we had.
Hairy later told me he thinks they were children of the Hebron wealthy, and maybe the groups was also to include kids who had lost parents in the troubles, with Palestinian supporters’ guilt money the source of their funding. I couldn’t really say, but it was great to see such normal young people coming from what was once a hellhole. I didn’t mention Fauda though.

Please refrain from lecturing us about spelling and grammar. You have made countless egregious mistakes yourself, civility dictates not to bring it up.
Too late Dotty Dot. Please point out my mistakes then if you wish to. I don’t care if you do but you seem to care now about yours and I wonder why. Are you being Armstronged at all?
Old Ozie:
You missed the fifth Condition: Having a treasonous bastard like Milley in charge of the US defence forces.
FFS, why hasn’t this piece of shit been put against a wall and shot?

Hospitality and retail were closed so the vaxxed and unvaxxed alike were out of work, nothing to do with jab status. You idiot.
For what period of the lockdowns were Bunnings, Woolies, Coles, Big W, K-Mart, Maccas, KFC and similar outlets closed? To the nearest week would be an adequate response.
Indeed. Five months of house arrest in Melbourne.
Sweden did not lock down.
There were no analogies used in any of my arguments above.
There were concrete demonstrations as to how the word “mandatory” is used.
As a dictionary does. To show the meaning of the word through usage.
To demonstrate that the word mandate does NOT mean that the thing being mandated must be enforced under any and all circumstances in order for it to be a mandate.
“Mandate” does not mean “do x or be physically forced to do x”.
“Mandate” does not mean “under all and every circumstance you must do x”.
Mandate means that under the circumstances you are required to do x, if you don’t do x there will be a penalty or consequence (such as a fine or, I don’t know, say, losing employment or being restricted in travel).
A bicycle helmet mandate doesn’t have to apply to anything other than the time, place and circumstance under which the person is using a bicycle in order for the situation to BE a mandate.
A vaccine can be mandated even if a person may avoid the mandate by taking the penalty of resigning from their job.
That IS the mandate. That IS the circumstance being mandated.
You don’t get to weasel out of it being a mandate situation because an individual can avoid the thing being mandated by volunteering for the penalty before the penalty is enforced upon them. OBVIOUSLY.
You can’t avoid the reality that people were mandated to be vaccinated by saying “Oh well, you could have avoided the mandate by resigning from that employment”.
That’s just silly.
Why would someone avoid the penalty of a mandate by volunteering for that very same penalty?
It a situation like that line from the movie “Resign or be prosecuted” when the hero hands the villain a loaded pistol while holding a gun on him. Now THAT is an analogy.

Whole thing reads like the Pfizer trial report. Only that was meant to be 95% effective.
Let me guess – Dot took the Novavax and is now desperately trying to convince him or her self that it wasn’t a dumb move.
Dumbass.
Klaus has mail, a lot of mail. Much more than ever before.
Being suckered in by that fraudster Martin Armstrong would have to be high on the list.
My choice was that or the bread line, but there’s no need to be a prick about it.
