WEF: Yes, Nazis Were Bad But We Must Track Racial COVID Data
No, the title is not a troll nor an exaggeration of the argument made by the World Economic Forum (WEF), presented in its white paper “Prioritizing Racial and Ethnic Equity in Business” released on Tuesday.
If you’re willing to sift through the banal jargon of WEF papers, you can attain some humorous and telling insights about the sort of people behind these movements.
In this paper, the Schwab disciples are making the case that corporations and governments must “evolve beyond traditional DEI [diversity, equity, inclusion] strategies,” focusing primarily on increased racial data collection as the means to achieve this. They briefly try to address the “well-justified” concerns around government distilling citizens down to their race:
Much of the reticence around racial and ethnic data collection is related to well-justified concerns based on history, from the Spanish Inquisition of the late 15th century to the targeting of Jews and other ethnic minorities during the Second World War. Ethnically specific data collection in the European context is thus deeply challenging, and the very term “race” is mired in controversy. In the aftermath of World War II, the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) declared “racial discrimination and racial hatred as unscientific and false, as well as ugly and inhuman.”29 Since then, most institutions and businesses have eliminated formal categorization around race across the continent.
Ok, good for Davos for acknowledging a very valid criticism of race-based policies. Let’s hear why we nonetheless need to implement the necessary evil of racial data tracking:
However, the need for disaggregated race data to help guide policy was highlighted recently during the COVID-19 pandemic, where the lack of data prevented several countries in Europe from getting a precise understanding of the impact the pandemic had on racially and ethnically marginalized communities.
That’s it. That’s all they offer as a counterpoint. I’m not cutting it short. Go read the paper yourself.
Eyes rolled abit reading that. Still overall informative. Cheers OldOzzie

That’s a counter-factual – there’s no way to prove or disprove it.

The models?
Anyone remember the projections Obama’s mob put out showing that his stimulus was needed because it would reduce unemployment? Then later the line showing actual data was added.
And lets not even get started with the warmies and the IPCC on AGW. It is over a hundred models they run, isn’t it? Selecting one to release and publish.
But here is the thing. If there is a valid scientifically cogent basis for choosing one model over another it could be incorporated into the model, so I would have to say the basis for choosing one model over another is not measured in degrees, or ppm, solar activity, or anything scientificalistic like that.
They do it for other, non-scientific reasons.
The government couldn’t care less about people engaging in activities that promote the spread of diseases. They just want people to be poisoned.
It’s a very important ritual and there’s a very good reason the obsession is usually with babies.
Once a parent can be convinced (albeit under a huge amount of bullying and pressure) to poison their baby they, emotionally, belong to the government. From that point they will always feel an emotional attachment to the government – no matter how many crimes it commits – because they themselves have joined in on it. Even to the detriment of their children.
It’s almost impossible for people to accept they could be so wrong – look at the bizarre rationalisations of Dot (an otherwise impeccable poster) because the thought he poisoned his own babies is too much to bear.
Two of the most useless creatures to have existed in human history. How the Pup is ever going to live down being beaten senseless by an enraged (female) fashion consultant remains to be seen.

The Rise Of The Single Woke (And Young, Democratic) Female
Soccer Moms are giving way to Single Woke Females – the new “SWFs” – as one of the most potent voting blocs in American politics.
Unmarried women without children have been moving toward the Democratic Party for several years, but the 2022 midterms may have been their electoral coming-out party as they proved the chief break on the predicted Republican wave. While married men and women as well as unmarried men broke for the GOP, CNN exit polls found that 68% of unmarried women voted for Democrats.
The Supreme Court’s August decision overturning Roe v. Wade was certainly a special factor in the midterms, but longer-term trends show that single, childless women are joining African Americans as the Democrats’ most reliable supporters.
Their power is growing thanks to the demographic winds. The number of never married women has grown from about 20% in 1950 to over 30% in 2022, while the percentage of married women has declined from almost 70% in 1950 to under 50% today. Overall, the percentage of married households with children has declined from 37% in 1976 to 21% today.
The Single Wave
A new Institute for Family Studies analysis  of 2020 Census data found that one in six women do not have children by the time they reach the end of their childbearing years, up from one in ten in 1990.
Single adult women now total some 42 million, comparable to the key African American voting bloc (46 million), while vastly larger than key groups like labor union members (14 million) or college students (20 million).
The Pew Research Center notes that since 1960, single-person households in the United States have grown from 13% to 27% (2019). Many, particularly women, are not all that keen on finding a partner. Pew recently found that “men are far more likely than women to be on the dating market: 61% of single men say they are currently looking for a relationship or dates, compared with 38% of single women.”
There’s clearly far less stigma attached to being single and unpartnered. Single women today have many impressive role models of unattached, childless women who have succeeded on their own – like Taylor Swift and much of the U.S. women’s soccer team. This phenomenon is not confined to the United States. Marriage and birthrates have fallen in much of the world, including Europe and Japan. Writing in Britain’s Guardian newspaper, columnist Emma John observed that, “Singleness is no longer to be sneered at. Never marrying or taking a long-term partner is increasingly seen as a valid choice.”
Rise of Identity Politics
The rise of SWFs – a twist on the personal ad abbreviation for single white female – is one of the great untold stories of American politics. Distinct from divorced women or widows, these largely Gen Z and Millennial voters share a sense of collective identity and progressive ideology that sets them apart from older women. More likely to live in urban centers and to support progressive policies, they are a driving force in the Democratic party’s and the nation’s shift to the left.
One paradox, however: Democrats depend ever more on women defined in the strict biological sense while much of the party’s progressive wing embraces the blurred and flexible gender boundaries of its identity politics.

We need two pilots at the pointy end. The Qantas mayday shows us why
David Evans Former Qantas Captain
A Qantas flight from Auckland to Sydney declared a mayday on Wednesday after suffering an engine problem over the Tasman Sea from Auckland to Sydney. Eager cameras were there as the 737 touched down smoothly at Kingsford Smith Airport with a signature puff of smoke. Passengers would have been alarmed when they heard a reported ‘bang’. Those interviewed said staff remained calm and professional. Why am I not surprised?
Yes, an engine problem or failure is an emergency, but it’s also a drill practised over and over in the simulator, often up to four times a year, until it becomes second nature to a pilot.
Modern aircraft are designed to fly on one engine (in the case of a two-engine aircraft) or on only two engines (in the case of a four-engined aircraft). Engine issues are extremely rare, but they do not automatically present the disaster scenario the word mayday brings to mind.
I wasn’t in the cockpit yesterday, but during my 36 years as a Qantas pilot, 29 of those as a captain, I found myself facing several in-flight malfunctions and emergencies similar to the one encountered by the crew of QF144.
Most notably on the flight deck of an A380 as check captain during the dramatic in-flight emergency on QF32, which suffered an emergency when the No. 2 engine literally exploded, causing a cascade of system failures, before finally landing safely in Singapore. As a consequence, I was seconded to Air France after AF447 crashed into the Atlantic with no survivors. It was a privilege to share with the Air France pilots how Qantas pilots handled our overwhelming emergency and bring it to a safe conclusion.
So, let me take you through how a well-trained and experienced crew deal with a situation like the one encountered yesterday on QF144.
Imagine everything I have just described being handled by a solo pilot. Shared workload is essential at the most routine of times but even more crucial during an emergency.
More than 40 countries have currently tasked the UN body that sets aviation standards with making single-pilot operations a reality.
I wish the reporters who swarmed on Sydney Airport yesterday afternoon asked the relieved passengers their opinion of one-pilot cockpits. I’m confident they would have needed to beep out some expletives.
Pressure on Marise Payne to retire from Senate
Matthew Knott
SMH -By Matthew Knott – January 19, 2023
Liberal Party moderates are agitating for former foreign affairs minister Marise Payne to retire from politics soon after the NSW state election, arguing the party needs an injection of fresh energy after last year’s crushing election defeat.
Speculation about Payne’s future has intensified after the death of Senate colleague Jim Molan, with potential candidates weighing up whether to compete for his vacant position or wait until Payne’s seat becomes available.
‘Expert’, ‘Scientist’, ‘Study’, ‘Report’. These words have been so horribly debased.
You become an expert not through expertise, but by some authority that lacks that expertise calling you one. Newspapers will latch onto a single scientist wishing to chastise us for having our freedoms without ever looking to see if this person’s claim is accepted by others in the same field.
Reports and studies are gamed. They once had an existence outside of the news cycle and in that other realm they were vetted by people with a professional interest in the truth. Now they are sent to the newspapers and are forgotten the next day with the edition of the newspaper that carried it. Just a less oil-absorbent fish wrapper.
But what really astounds me is ‘activist’. For some reason people have started taking activist as being equivalent to expert, that what an activist says must be true. Activists are people with a strong attachment to a narrow focus. Cranks. Typically young, without the patience to accumulate necessary knowledge, smug, chaining themselves to things, marching through the streets with laughably overwrought placards shouting out what everyone else must do – and with a lamentable history of failure.
Put a scientific report in front a few people. The activist is the one who gets shouty and starts exaggerating the opening paragraph while the others are sorting the information in their heads. Activists are sort of…anti-knowledge, analogous to anti-matter. When activists come into contact with knowledge there is annihilation and we are left with nothing.
Now activists are quoted as if they are granting insight. (Psychological, perhaps.)

Gas producers push back on ACCC’s assurances
The enough information provided by Ms Cass-Gottlieb:
for
The ACCC helpfully provides ‘guidance’ which pours murk and uncertainty over the major contractual provisions of a typical gas supply agreement between producers and purchasers.
Transfer Point 1: The producer is obliged to wear the pipeline haulage price to the point of sale at $12/GJ. So, if the normal transfer point is Moomba, and (for example) the gas is coming from Surat CSG, the producer has to pony up the pipeline and ancilliary services tariff for haulage from the field to South Australia;
Transfer point 2: Deep shit for the producer if the $12/GJ price is set at a transfer point which the ACCC deems to be avoiding the Cap;
Commodity-linked price: forget it if the future operation of the linkage takes the price over $12/GJ;
Take or pay provisions: forget it if they incorporate a penalty for the purchaser not taking gas at the contract rate and that penalty lifts the price over $12/GJ;
Peak Demand: If the purchaser wants a high peak delivery, that must be priced at $12/GJ and the average demand priced lower – because if a massive spike in demand (ooh, say turning on an open cycle gas turbine generator) occurs – with the attendant field and haulage costs – the price must never stray over $12/GJ;
Trading Risk Between Willing Parties: This little gem (verbatim):
So, free trade between willing parties in Australia is “likely not a contravention“.
No, really.
These people are regulating the Australian economy.
I thought nazis like banderistas, right sector and azov battalion where the bad guys, so apparently we are now the bad guys. go figure 😐

ACCC chair Gina Cass-Gottlieb said deals would be assessed on an ongoing basis and final judgment would be made at their expiry to determine if the price had averaged at or below $12 a gigajoule.
If gas producers breach the rules, they will be fined $50 million or three times the value of the company’s profit from the deal — whichever is the highest amount.
…
An industry source with knowledge of LNG producers’ views, who was wary of criticising the government on the record, said the fact that gas deals would be assessed on a case-by-case basis raised the risk producers would be fined tens of millions of dollars for supply contracts they believed would comply with the new rules.
“This makes it difficult for producers to know specifically what might constitute compliance versus non-compliance until you receive the fine in the mail,” the insider said.
…
Climate Change and Energy Minister Chris Bowen on Wednesday said while the producers deserved a chance to assess the guidance, he warned he was willing to enforce the gas trigger.
“The government’s strong and clear expectation and requirement of gas companies is that they will supply gas at a reasonable price to Australian consumers … we will act and do whatever we need to do in the national interest,” he said.

However, constitutional law expert Anne Twomey says it would be inappropriate for the government to release draft legislation ahead of the vote.
“It goes completely against the entire point of the referendum,” Professor Twomey said.
“If you start putting out a detail with the bill, et cetera, people will think that that’s what they’re voting on in the referendum.” *
Labor has been consistent in saying those details would be covered by legislation if the Voice passes a referendum, repeatedly referring to the Calma-Langton report on the Voice as one of the documents that will inform eventual legislation.
Legislation leaves ‘flexibility’ for the Voice
Professor Twomey — who is one of the experts advising the government on the constitutional change ahead of the referendum — said there was confusion about what the referendum would actually achieve.
“The voting in the referendum is on the words and the change that you put into the constitution,” Professor Twomey said.
“So it’s the words that say — there shall be this body, it has the function of making representations to parliament and we have to leave parliament to decide the rest.”**
“There would be real problems if you did it in advance and gave them the bill and said: ‘This is what’s going to happen’ and that people would think that that is what they’re voting on. ***
“In fact, the process involves getting parliament to decide those things in the future and change them from time to time where needed.”****
* The referendum will make the in-voice eternal, so i think having 1/2 an idea of its proposed construction is entirely 100% and in every way the point of the referendum.
** Trust me, close your eyes and open your mouth is a poor start to any relationship.
*** Shes arguing against people being given information which will enable them to make a choice.

Hey guys. Do not feed to troll, or imbecile.
If you completely ignore their comments, act as if they don’t exist, they eventually get bored due to lack of attention and leave.
Sure; and the left play by rules; and there are rules; and the tooth fairy has big tits. Ignore the left and you end up with a serrated dildo up your arse. Every fu.king time. I don’t know, maybe you like that. I don’t.
The only approach to the left is to call out the dickless mongrels every time. Ideally the Dutton approach is the way but I believe there may be legal issues.
I hate navel gazing, but…
There are plenty of good academics, you would learn something with some humility.
Tony Makin was the most vocal professor opposed to the Rudd-Swan stimulus.
You would be much better off reading Makin than Armstrong.
The Japanese claimed 3 bn USD of fraud in 1995 (?) prices. Armstrong ran a fund with 46 mn of assets, he reported 1 bn of assets to investors.
I did academic work on agricultural economics, labour economics, financial models and trade & direct investment.
I did private sector work for others on labour markets (Gillard quoted me, LOL), asset maintenance and infrastructure. Working for myself I have done very specific work on asset maintenance, but across several sectors.
Martin Armstrong has no value. Anything decent he writes is secondhand, derivative and stale.

From Martin Economics –
“We always hear that some high-profile case is always a giant Ponzi Scheme. As soon as you hear that, you know the charges are FAKE NEWS! Why, because the actual legal definition of a Ponzi Scheme means that there was “no legitimate business” and the entire thing was a fraud. By calling it a Ponzi scheme, they do NOT have to prove each and every fraud. They then try to claim that everything was a fraud because they cannot prove individual transactions and that immediately cuts off any other investigation. That is why they are calling FTX a Ponzi Scheme to prevent any investigation that would uncover money laundering. The court-appointed lawyers are a JOKE. They will never defend you. They put on a show and that is it. In my case, they had to drop that because I knew the law. Every theory they would use, I attacked. They just get to constantly change the theory and the press never pays attention.”

While a precise causal mechanism is yet to be established, the authors suggest that, out of an abundance of caution, m0nty should immediately be tarred, feathered, and run out of town on a rail.

Man drives electric Volvo 350 miles to see REAL cost and ‘numbers just didn’t add up’
Steven Smith wanted to find out just how easy it is to charge an electric car and what it costs but found that using the eco-friendly vehicle came with a hefty price tag
The development and demand for electric cars has been growing, but there’s still an ongoing debate about just how worthwhile the more environmentally-friendly vehicles are.
In an effort to find out how easy they are to drive and how the cost compares to petrol or diesel cars, Steven Smith set out on a real-world experiment to put one of the vehicles to the test.
He decided to drive a Volvo C40 Recharge Twin Pro on a 350-mile round trip between his home in Cornwall to Bristol — a journey he regularly completes in his 16-year-old BMW 318 diesel.
Steven said the trip usually costs him “around £50 at today’s diesel prices, assuming 55mpg and 173.9p a litre, which is the price at my nearest supermarket”.
While he usually leaves at around 8am and arrives in Bristol before 11am, only requiring stops if he feels he needs a comfort break, he knew that his trip was likely to be different.
Writing for Wales Online, he said: “I spent a fair bit of time in those few days mulling over strategy and cost. One thing I knew was that the round trip was impossible without charging.
“So I had to factor in a stop on the outward journey for a quick fast charge at a motorway services, then top up (slowly) as much as possible at a relative’s house in Bristol, before stopping again for a boost on the motorway on the way home to avoid the prospect of finding myself stranded somewhere on Bodmin Moor late on a cold, dark, January night.”
Steven set off for his journey with the Volvo 100% charged, which cost approximately £20 to charge at his home — although it’s not actually recommended to charge the car to 100% in order to prolong its battery life.
The Volvo has an on-paper range of 273 miles, but Steven quickly discovered that this didn’t seem to be the case as he only had 180 miles showing for the actual range when he set off with a full battery.
After driving for an hour and 40 minutes, Steven made his first charging stop at Taunton Dean services on the M5, where he arrived with 25% battery and 45 miles remaining.
He waited for 40 minutes for the battery to charge to 60%, costing £19.62 for another 55 miles.
Already, the price was struggling to beat his trusty BMW, which he said would use about a gallon for 55 miles, costing less than £8.
He arrived in Bristol just 30 minutes later than usual at just after 11am, with the car’s charge back down to 35% and at a 60-mile range.
He then charged it “very slowly” using a standard three-pin plug at a relative’s house, which was able to get him another 30 miles for around £5 by 6:30pm.
At 6:45pm he began heading back to Cornwall on 52% charge and a 90-mile range.
Aiming to stop at Exeter services, which was 75 miles away, to use their super-fast chargers Steven began to stress about the car’s range.
He said: “This was going to be tight, but I was determined to make it, rather than potentially having to stop twice on the way home – I knew the super-fast charger would sort me out, if I could get there.
“And, man, the next hour or so was stressful. I arrived – just – at Exeter with 7% charge, 14 miles range showing. I have to admit that the 20 minutes or so before arriving there were not a pleasant feeling, as the range seemingly got tighter and tighter.”
Upon arriving he charged the car for 45 minutes, which brought it up to 84% charge and 140-mile range, but the quick charging came with an eye-watering cost of £43.45.
Finally, he arrived back home at 10:20pm – 50 minutes later than usual, with 25 miles remaining.
Overall, the journey proved to be pretty stressful and costly.
Steven said: “The whole day had been a bit of a brain melt in all honesty, constantly working out how far I could travel and where the best places to stop were on both legs of the journey.
All in all I felt relieved to get home, but also like someone had emptied my wallet while I wasn’t looking.”
With a full charge at home, a fast top-up at services, a slow top-up in Bristol and a super-fast top-up on the way back, the entire journey cost Steven £88.07.
Meanwhile, he calculated that the diesel cost for the same journey would have come to £50.24, “assuming 55mpg and 173.9p per litre”, while the petrol cost would have been £53.28, “assuming 45mpg and 150.9p per litre”.
Concluding his experiment, Steven said: “I wanted this to work, I really did. But after what I hope you will agree was a pretty comprehensive real-world test, I couldn’t make the numbers add up.
“Whichever way I looked at it, the return trip had taken me 90 minutes longer than usual and cost me nearly £40 more. I certainly didn’t expect that.
“Helping to save the planet with zero-emission vehicles comes at a personal cost, it would seem, certainly given the spiralling cost of energy in the past year or so.”

That fat grifter gore goes Hiroshima at Davos:
Al Gore WEF Meltdown: ‘Boiling the Oceans,’ ‘Rain Bombs,’ a Billion ‘Climate Refugees’
The Hiroshima analogy has been around with the alarmists for some time:
The comparison between the alleged destruction cause by (Anthropogenic Global Warming) AGW and the atomic bomb dropped at Hiroshima was first raised by professor of geology Mike Sandiford. Sandiford compares the human effect on the environment to the atomic bomb:
To put these numbers into a more human context we need a new measure for our energy use. The “Hiro” is one. It is the equivalent to the energy released by detonating one Hiroshima “Little Boy” bomb every second. One Hiro equals 60 trillion watts. In these terms, our human energy system operates at a rate of 0.25 Hiros, or one Hiroshima bomb every four seconds. That is the equivalent of more than eight million Hiroshima bombs going off each year.
This is a disgraceful bit of misanthropy made nonsensical by the fact that the natural energy of the system on Earth is a million times greater than the energy produced by humans and that the energy produced by humans is incremental. We don’t set off atomic bombs when we walk out the door; our energy is expended over time.
Such is the insignificance of the energy impact of humans on the Earth’s system that if humanity were to disappear tomorrow all traces of our energy would be gone in a geological blink of an eye.
However Sandiford’s insidious metaphor has been picked up by another academic with even less pretension to expertise in the field of AGW. This time the Ivory Tower has let loose one David Holmes, a lecturer in communications, whatever that is.
Holmes outdoes Sandiford because now humanity is letting off FOUR Hiroshima atomic bombs every second. Not one but four!
As a taxpayer are you getting annoyed yet?
Holmes continues by saying all these Hiroshimas, Hiros for short, are going into the oceans which is accumulating heat or energy or Joules or something at the usual rate leading to the destruction of all life on Earth as we know it; in short the usual hysterical alarmism from AGW acolytes.
Is the ocean boiling. No.
A final point: radiation from CO2, greenhouse radiation, CANNOT PENETRATE THE OCEANS! So, even if Ocean Heat Content was increasing it can’t be due to CO2.
Gore needs someone to release his second chakra.
He’s obviously feeling uptight.
I wouldn’t try that on (almost) 21 yo granddaughter. She is fiercely anti antifa, socialism/communism – in fact,she’s quite conservative. No one will take her vote away.

Martin Armstrong: Putin takes Ukraine in Three Days
Martin Armstrong – always the smartest guy after the fact – reverses his forecast positions after his Ukraine war predictions flop
In World War III Beginning Stages Now Martin Armstrong writes (quote, emphasis added):
Feb 2, 2022
Putin has wiped out the air force and owns the skies over Ukraine. He could annihilate the country in less than 3 days, but he is not doing that to the West’s befuddlement.
Martin Armstrong is clearly whipping up fear in preparation of the sale of his snake oil with the promise to profit from the unfolding events: At the bottom of his page, he advertises his new War Computer Report that he has not even written yet.
A few months later in WWIII is not Worth Supporting Ukraine in a Land Grab he reverses his position as follows (quote, emphasis added):
Jul 16, 2022
Russia has been unable to use its air power because NATO is providing Ukraine with all the tactical information needed so they only need to turn on their radar minutes before launching and as such Russia cannot destroy those systems which have been supplanted by NATO.
Computer never wrong?
I can’t report on one of his forecast failures without tripping over a bigger one in the process. Here it is:
Re-defines the objective of a failed forecast to match the new reality: War cycle high reserved for Middle East war (which did not happen) is re-defined and re-used for the Ukraine War
On Jun 12, 2014, Martin Armstrong gave us a lecture about conflicts in the Middle East driving his war cycle. In Brain-Dead Foreign Policy – Destabilizing the Middle East – Feeding the War Cycle he writes (quote)
The War Cycle is doing what it was intended to do. I have warned that this is going to be much worse that the previous cycles building in intensity and broadening to a global perspective.
On Jul 9, 2014, Martin Armstrong continues in Crude Oil & The Future (quote)
It is poised to rally into 2017 and it appears this is lining up with our war models..
On Aug 2, 2022, in It’s a Matter of Confidence he uses The Fan Email Confidence Trick to give himself credit for forecasting that some kind of war would happen between 2011 and 2022 (emphasis added):
COMMENT: Marty; I really do not think people give you enough credit whilst they all pretend to claim they called it correctly just a couple of months ago. I was at your 2011 WEC in Philadelphia. A friend bought the ticket and dragged me there. I have to say, aside from your prediction that war would turn up in 2014 which coincided with Ukraine, …
Computer never wrong?
I think I have made the point once again that his forecasts are complete bullshit. And he knows it.

The Pope also criticised “those who climb to show their a**”, the Italian media outlet Daily Compass reported.

His enormous contribution to our history and society should be preserved for ever.

Haven’t been blessed with it once. Everyone I know (except of course, Cassie) who’s had the jabs has been, usually severely.
But yeah, “safe and effective”.
Try crushing some coriander and wave it around the room.
If the vaccine does not eliminate transmission it just slows the time of spread, say from 30 days to 35 days. If it lowers the severity of symptoms for at risk groups that may be a good reason for those groups to take the vax despite the problems with mRNA vaccines but that should be entirely up to them as whether or not we undertake a treatment is entirely voluntary.
None of these purported benefits though actually justify mandatory vaccination with an experimental vaccine, firstly, because the vaccinated are still vectors of transmission, secondly, because the likelihood that your symptoms are less severe is a private benefit and doesn’t even raise free rider issues, and thirdly, and more broadly, because the vaccines were experimental.

Now I’m angry.
According to the 3rd nations couple their rock finger paintings have been around for 50000 years, which means, since the real first vagabonds, not the current mob, turned up 47000 years, their finger scribbles must have been done by the Mega Fauna which they helped make extinct.
My good deed for the day, Cats. I’ve been back working in our new office three days a week and educated a new chick at work (who’s 38 and Slovakian) about the agenda of Standartenführer Schwab and the WEF, including the current Davros Dingbats Hoedown. She’d never heard of any of it.
She was horrified. “That sounds like communism!”
Yes, yes it does.

Apropos the foregoing comments as to Covid not striking the unjabbed twice, my experience as a “pureblood” (yes I am making a bit of a joke) is that indeed yes you can get Covid twice.
Having said that, on the first occasion I was tested in a hospital when already there for other causes, I had minimal symptoms.
On the second occasion I was once again in hospital for the same other reasons and got mandatory testing and returned a Positive. At no time did I have any actual symptoms
So one conclusion might be that the PCR tests are complete and utter BS and that I never really had Covid on either occasion.

Aborigines, maybe but there is evidence of human habitation of up to 170,000 years.
There was a widely accepted theory of at least three waves of human settlement prior to 1788.
Now that’s not popular because it interferes with the “Always was, is and will be” narrative.

Even the Catholic Herald qualified the report with language like ‘if accurate’.
Anne Twoomy:
Quite true, they are the words being put forward.
Two hurdles, then:
1) Does the Australian version of Westminster democracy need a Voice to properly and fairly represent the interests of the Aboriginal population?
If A=Yes:
2) Do you trust the same parliament which has previously failed to properly and fairly represent the interests of the Aboriginal population to decide the rest – now and in the future?
I’ve got a copy of a book, on order, the author of which argues the case that the science is in – Aborigines have been in Australia 10,000 years, maximum.
In relation to the current mob that may be right. But there were at least 3 waves of distinct peoples who invaded the joint before Cook dropped anchor (see Manning CLARK A History Of Australia (Volumes 1 & 2): From the Earliest Times to 1838, page 1; or the short version by Windscuttle: https://quadrant.org.au/opinion/history-wars/2002/06/the-extinction-of-the-australian-pygmies/).
As to time scales someone was here 47000 years ago because that’s when the first evidence of human killing the Mega Fauna occurred:

Such ‘evidence’ always involves human intepretation of physical data that takes place within a matrix of anthropological and philosophical assumptions.
We’re not talking about something as simple as blood types.
Aborigines, maybe but there is evidence of human habitation of up to 170,000 years.
Where’s that Dot; or are you taking the piss?
My G-rated snap take on St Jacinda-
she’s run away because the media are no longer willing to muck out her stable.
“maybe but there is evidence of human habitation of up to 170,000 years.”
Yes, in Africa.
Pope Francis who endlessly proselytizes for greenery says that proselytizing for Jesus is paganism.
Pope Francis Urges Christians Not to Try to Convert Nonbelievers (18 Jan)
Amazing. I really am missing Pope Benedict and Cardinal Pell.
