Hanging around the station has its rewards.
Trenitalia changed its mind and put on not one but two buses to Syracuse, after standing waiting for an hour I found a seat and daydreaming missed seeing the buses pull up.
Scurried out and am the now the only passenger on bus number two.
Sky is a bit lighter so hopefully weather on the improve.
Clive Palmer spoke at the end of the event. Mentioned he caught pneumonia and then Covid. Dr’s in hospital told him he had 5 hours to live and were going to put him on ventilator and give Remdesivir.
He got out of the hospital and then got quick alternative advice and treatment. This included Ivermectin.
He mentioned in 2020 how he bought 37m doses of hydroxychloroquine to be given away for free. Landed and then put into Government stockpile. Was initially approved but around that time Pfizer reps appeared in Canberra and after that not approved.
McCullough mentioned they had been interviewed by press earlier in the day. Going to be interesting to see if any mainstream media give their visit any coverage and if so what type.
Handy to have a couple of spare hundred thousand to throw at private medicine treatment.
I wonder how much conventional treatment was in the Palmer mix.
Hydroxychloroquine had fda approval withdrawn after it was found to cause irregular heart rhythms in covid patients.
Did Clive take it?
Doesn’t sound like he did.

Some people have got some serious questions to answer.
Rosie, places credence in the FDA.
You f*cking idiot!
Hydroxychloroquine had fda approval withdrawn after it was found to cause irregular heart rhythms in covid patients.
The old and very safe drug had its approval withdrawn because it was cheap, effective and it wasn’t a Pfizer product.
Rosie, incase you hadn’t realised it, the FDA and ATAGI are brought and paid for by Phucking Pfizer.
In no other industry would such a cosy relationship between “regulator” and “regulated” be tolerated.
How badly are ATAGI in Pfizer’s back pocket? They’re a global laughing stock for their 5th booster horse shit. Everyone else had given up, but like Australian Politicians, once brought these f’cking scum stay brought.
What jab number are you up to, rosie?
I hope you are getting a root on your adventures. Enjoy it while it lasts.
A bivalent jab awaits you. You’ll offer yourself up, no doubt. You are in competition with all the brainwashed f-wits in the world.
Rosie,
Hydroxy been used safely for decades. How come suddenly causes heart problems.
The treatments McCullough and Kory use are much cheaper than Remdesivir and Paxlovid and that is the problem. The treatments FDA like just happen to be far more expensive. Previous head of FDA on Pfizer board.
Kory outlined very well the huge campaign to smear Ivermectin. Had to be done as was being used by too many Drs and was going to affect vaccine roll-out and profits. He mentioned the Oxford trial on IVM which is still going 2 years later ! A major problem has been the capture of the medical journals who basically shill for big pharma.

Arrived at Siracusa station and it’s raining again. Walked to my apartment, which is in the old Jewish quarter on the island of Ortygia, the medieval lane I’m on is not on google maps and even with coordinates was pretty hard to find, I spend a bit of time in the rain peering at house numbers until an elderly donna took pity on me and asked which house I was looking for, and then pointed me across the piccolo piazza to my front door. Of course three is opposite seventeen!
Very close to the sea which is still quite angry and I don’t fancy my chances if there is an earthquake tsunami combo here. The area is extremely charming, mostly lime or sandstone? buildings; the old Jewish Baths are around the corner, I’ll have look tomorrow. The town is also famous for another keen bather.
I wanted granita for dinner but had to settle for gelato, a vanilla and chocolate combination that tasted a bit like a McDonald’s hot fudge sundae without the hot. Went well with a room temperature glass of Arancia Rosso.
The apartment is perfect, even has a plaque with ‘Love Laugh Live’ on it.
Been a bit of a Doctor Foster day, nice to be indoors.
I think people are off the pace when they say Vijaya Gadde’s motivations are based on race.
My view is that she is more along the lines of Neera Tanden.
Thoroughly intoxicated by the DNC’s current set of values & would do anything to prove her loyalty.
Gadde has been paid a handsome amount during her time at Twitter.
And because of her actions, she will always have a guaranteed position for life with varying levels of money, power & influence.

Series 2 has dropped on SBS on demand & wondering whether to put it in the queue.
Rita Panahi:
We were all misled and cajoled when it came to Covid-19 vaccines.
And I say that as someone who was so enthusiastic about being jabbed and freed from lockdowns that I offered to get vaccinated on air in early 2021.
Though adamantly opposed to illiberal vaccine mandates, particularly when it came to healthy young people, I along with many others believed the expert advice that the jabs would prevent transmission.
We now know that is not the case and are starting to learn how many have suffered devastating Covid-19 vaccine injuries.
Many who have suffered in silence came forward when former AMA president Kerryn Phelps penned a submission to a parliamentary inquiry detailing her own vaccine injuries.
“Vaccine injury is a subject that few in the medical profession have wanted to talk about,” Dr Phelps wrote.
“Regulators of the medical profession have censored public discussion about adverse events following immunisation, with threats to doctors not to make any public statements about anything that ‘might undermine the government’s vaccine rollout’ or risk suspension or loss of their registration.”
Veteran Liberal MP Russell Broadbent has also been an advocate for the voiceless victims who have been largely ignored by the media, politicians and some would argue, the medical fraternity.
“It’s very distressing to have these people face-to-face and be speaking to them when you see some of them are so severely damaged,” Broadbent said on Sky News this week.
Not sure if it was presented here, but at Hot Air there is an article about Fauci and his lies.
Retired Captain Seth Keshel was a star performer at Mike Lindell’s symposium on the 2020 election back in 2021. His data analysis was compelling. He showed how so many individual results in 2020 were unprecedented – which points to the sort of fraud we know happened.
The US MSM didn’t cover it then, and now it falls to Gateway Pundit to give us a reprise. He outlines the measures that have to be applied if elections are to be proper again.

So rosie can continue taking pot shots at vax injury from the balconies of hotels in Italy, or she can slowly come to the realisation, like many others around the world, that they were duped.
Came across this, no comment either way but…
The price of being alone.
“I remember that summit well.
He was left alone at the table, he was alone at all the G20 events in Australia, and when he finally realized his role, he just stood up and walked away, shaking the hand of the policeman with the escort.
How much dirt and gossip he received at his address during all his time in power. Dozens of Putin’s palaces, billions on Putin’s accounts … the world’s best intelligence agencies have been searching for the base assets of the President of Russia for many years, but without finding anything, they put all their efforts to pinch Putin’s “friends”.
And what about himself, why doesn’t he assemble a team of court journalists to refute the endless lies addressed to him? The answer is simple – his deeds speak for him.
He came in far 1999, when the country had only one name left. The humiliating “Russia’s default” just roared around the world.
GDP-195 billion, and State Debt-190 $ billion.
Putin accepted a bankrupt country whose asset value was practically equal to its external debt.
With what did isolated Russia of the era of the outcast Putin approach 2018?
Only in the “sanctioned” year 2017, the country’s GDP grew by 2.7% and amounts to $ 3 trillion 445 billion.
Just compare the two numbers…
-GDP 1999 – 195 billion $
-GDP 2017 – 3 trillion 445 billion $
… and you will understand the price of the President’s loneliness. ”
I will add from myself.
I remember Russia without Putin perfectly.
Shooting of Parliament, tanks and BTRs ringing at night under the window on Babushkinskaya, where I lived, the military is in full display throughout Moscow. Blood puddles on the sidewalks. The corpse of a passer-by with a crushed tank head on the road.
Have you seen? I saw it.
War in Chechnya, and several business trips there of my friends from the special forces with whom fanatically learned real aikido for Dynamo for 7 years. Roma nicknamed “Goblin”, a big guy under 2 meters. 2 injuries, just getting back on my feet.
The guys were telling how they merged Chechnya to international terrorists.
Treason and corruption of officers, drug trafficking, tons of dollars in bribes. The boys who were sent to the slaughterhouse by traitors to create discontent in the country died.
Didn’t you have to meet a hundred 200s in zinc and see the madness of mothers jumping hysterically on a metal box?
God forbid!
Did you forget the “Nord-East” that happened thanks to corrupt militia who let military trucks with terrorists, explosives and weapons to almost the center of Moscow for 2-3 thousand dollars?
Have they forgotten school in Beslan?
When hostages were drinking their urine to avoid dying of thirst, when closing the child who had escaped through the window killed our special forces officers.
Unemployment, thousands of enterprises are closed, professors are traded in the markets, budget workers have not received salaries for years.
Somehow in the center of Moscow I left the entrance hall and got into a bandit showdown. Automatic queues and gunshots, screams of the wounded, corpses near the cars. And you, in a clean suit and a white shirt, crawl on your stomach under the wall of the house in the mud on a flowerbed around the corner, so as not to add to the statistics of “natural depletion of the population”.
We lost more population in the 1990s than we did in the Great Patriotic War.
Don’t you remember? I – Remember.
Putin is not an angel and I do not idealize him. But I want to pay tribute to this man.
After all, I remember who stopped all this madness. And sometimes I want to ask those who criticize and throw dirt on this man:
AND WHAT DID YOU DO TO STOP THIS?

Newest wheeze to attack righties: disinformation ratings.
EU Attacks Elon Musk’s Twitter for Allegedly Failing So-Called ‘Disinformation’ Test (10 Feb)
“Elon Musk’s Twitter has allegedly failed a test examining whether it has been sufficiently complying with EU demands on “disinformation”, a report on Thursday has claimed.
A number of social media platforms are said to have taken part in the voluntary test, which was implemented as part of the censorious new Digital Services Act being put into full force by the union this year.”
‘Disinformation’ Groups Target Conservative News Outlets (10 Feb)
“So-called “disinformation” tracking groups, many with a liberal bias, are working behind the scenes to target, blacklist, and defund conservative news outlets, according to an exclusive report by the Washington Examiner.
The UK-based Global Disinformation Index, which claims to be nonpolitical and nonpartisan, said it aims to “remove the financial incentive” that creates “disinformation” by publishing a “Disinformation Index” of “high risk” global news publications.
Their list is then disseminated to major advertising companies for use in their decision-making process. Many ad platforms are using these blacklists to effectively de-monetize conservative and right-leaning media.”
The irony of course is that it is lefty MSM that spews disinformation endlessly. And the righties by and large are telling the truth on everything from Hunter’s laptop, stolen elections and the absence of global warming. Which the censorious left hates, hence this repression.
To my list of good or tolerable politicians that have been removed in the last ten years I add Stephen Harper in Canada.

Alice Springs.
It would appear that the return of massive restrictions on bulk piss in communities is doing its job – ie, the thousands of indig who came into Alice to ‘visit family’ (get shitfaced 24/7) are leaving.
Over a 24 hour period last week there were 37 ‘serious’ domestic violence incidents. For the same reporting period this week – 5.
They’re not going home though. They’re being displaced to Katherine, Mount Isa and a few have relocated to D-Town.
Because quite a few have northern SA connections, heaps of them have also pissed off that way. Apparently the Stuart Highway between Alice and Marla is littered with broken-down shitboxes.
I hope this hundreds-of-kilometres-long vehicle graveyard is still there in ten days or so. I want to take photos.

The Conversation: Using Your Air Conditioner is a Form of Climate Denial (9 Feb)
“Hannah Della Bosca
PhD Candidate and Research Assistant at Sydney Environment Institute, University of Sydney
While the days of overt climate denial are mostly over, there’s a distinct form of denial emerging in its stead. You may have experienced it and not even realised. It’s called implicatory denial, and it happens when you consciously recognise climate change as a serious threat without making significant changes to your everyday behaviour in response.
…
Why does this matter?
If we use technologies like aircon to avoid dealing with the root causes of climate change, we are in denial.
As the world heats up, demand for air conditioning has skyrocketed. The International Energy Agency has estimated that by 2050, up to two-thirds of the world’s households will have installed aircon, particularly in China, India and Indonesia.”
We can sure breed ’em in this country. My old uni leads the way in unscience and leftism now. It’s sad.
Oh. You mean climate hypocrisy*.
Like my rabid sil who rages against us “deniers” while chilling in her air conditioned home, swims in her heated pool and drives about in her thirsty Merc. And enjoys overseas travel and nice, comfy, insulated hotels. Apart from the Merc, her lifestyle is no different to mine. Just what comes out of her mouth.
People want air conditioning for the same reason they want refrigerators – it’s an improvement on the life of a primitive. Go anywhere in SE asia and you’ll see split systems and units hanging out of windows of very non salubrious dwellings, even ones on waterways. Because it’s the tropics.

From da old fred
If you don’t move much and have been on the books for years you probably wouldn’t have noticed.
We had trouble trying to get to see a GP when we moved to the Central Coast in 2011 as all the surgeries had closed their books. The GP we eventually got in to see said the coast needed at least 20 and ideally 50 more, that was as I said 2011.
Same problems on Sunshine Coast, our GP says we need at least 100 GPs. They had 2 retire from their surgery and have not been able to replace them.
The rot started about 5 years after Howard restricted Medicare provider numbers, and has been getting worse every year and was not helped by the govt Covid regulations forcing Drs like DrDuk out.
As people get richer and can afford to buy air conditioners is now proof of global warming. It was intellectual power like the one exhibited here that led to all our industries moving where they are welcome and enriching the producers’ populations. All we produce these days are embarrassing idiots.

The whole stench behind Higgins, Lehmann, Drumgold, Gallagher and co is yet to fully unravel, but we have been thrown tidbits, and one of them is why Drumgold suddenly dropped the case in late November, citing Brittaneeeeee’s mental state.
I’m still waiting for the Liberals to refer the Higgins’ case to the new federal ICAC. Are they that spineless? Why, yes they are!
I find it interesting that despite Lehmann’s legal action against Maiden, Janet A is continuing to post stories around the case. As mentioned here before, I don’t think there is any love lost between Janet A and Ms Maiden.
Meanwhile, the roadkill here in Lehmann, his life is completely and utterly destroyed. There’ll be no trips and selfies from the Maldives for him, certainly not now and maybe not ever.

In writing twice from the Chair of our Owners Corporation committee I have been accused of putting my neighbour ‘into shock and compelling her to sign a form she did not know what she was signing ‘’
This man i s great at projection ,psychological definition, as he is a bully. He signed the 16 page letter to me for all committee So I politely wrote with help could he please confirm that all members had read letter full content as they would be also culpable of the libellous statements he made He instead got legal advice opining not enough grounds . Although probably did not pick up what Into shock actually means . BTW I have witnesses who says this accusation did not happen , he does not know this and the lady herself did not complain of anything and well into cognitive decline so will have no memory of incident ‘we are good friends. One committee member has already admitted only read 2 pages.
How do I counteract this bully without costly lawyers.? He is the one through misinformation , threatening letters to get residents to sign an open contract for 6 million dollars for recladding building but as there has been non compliant construction resulting in water damage and mould since here will be huge costs to rectify all paid for by residents.
Wow.

The bombings preceding the Second Chechen War were very likely a false flag.

Blowing Up Russia: Terror From Within (English)
Acts of terror, abductions and contract killings organised by the Federal Security Service of the Russian Federation.
Alexander Litvinenko & Yuri Felshtinsky
https://libertypublishinghouse.com/shop/english-language/blowing-up-russia-terror-from-within-english/
Co-authored by Alexander Litvinenko, the victim of the notorious 2006 London polonium poisoning, the book attempts to demonstrate that modern Russia’s most fundamental problems are not the result of radical reforms during the liberal Yeltsin period, but from the open and clandestine resistance offered to these reforms by the Russian special services. It was they who unleashed the first and second Chechen wars, in order to divert Russia away from the path of democracy and towards dictatorship, militarism, and chauvinism.
The authors allege that the Russian apartment bombings and other September 1999 terrorist acts were committed by the Federal Security Service. Litvinenko and Felshtinsky write the bombings were a false flag operation intended to justify second Chechen War and bring Vladimir Putin to power.
The war in Chechnya has made human life cheap in Russia. The brutal killings and the trade in slaves and hostages have thrown the country back to the days of slavery. Thousands of people who go through the war in Chechnya are forced to kill. They can never go back to civilian life.
Chechnya is the FSB’s workshop, the training ground for the future personnel of the Russian special services and freelance brigades of mercenary killers. The longer this war goes on, the more irreversible its consequences become. One of its fatal consequences is the eternal hatred of Chechens for Russia and Russians.

– covid is responsible for the heart problems and hydroxy is an innocent bystander
– hydroxy may be helpful but patients are too far gone with covid for it to be of any use
– vaccinations plus subsequent covid infection is the cause of the heart problems and hydroxy no use at all
– the FDA is lying so hydroxy cannot be used because reasons*
– hydroxy is useful but the FDA wants people dead*

“climate hypocrisy*.”
Excellent comment calli. And I really think we need to start using the term “climate hypocrites” with those who accuse us of being “climate deniers”.
I think most of us here can remember a time, not too long ago, when nobody had air-conditioning. Growing up in the 1970s, I don’t recall anyone having air-conditioning. We had one fan in the house, in the living room, on the one television set in the house, smack in bang front of where my father used to sit every night to watch the ABC news followed by “This Day Tonight”. It was one of those noisy mistral fans.
I remember when we still lived in Sydney and as children we would go down to visit my grandparents in the Shire, I still recall those days vividly, they were hot humid days. There were no fans, when my grandfathers weren’t pottering in the gardens, my grandparents would sit on the verandah or under the porch and sip tea to keep cool.
We moved to Perth in the late 1970s (1977) and most summer days were about 37 or 38 degrees. I remember 40 degree days, it wasn’t unusual, nobody screeched “climate change”. Living in Perth on those hot summer days, I remember after school (there was no air-con in classrooms), we’d walk down to the new Cottesloe shopping centre mall which had air-conditioning. We’d joke about how cold it was!
When I tell my nephews and niece about how growing up we had no air-conditioning, and there was only one television in the house, and there was one only telephone in the house, and there was only one bathroom in the house, they look at me as though I’m from another planet.
Even now I don’t have air-conditioning. I have a fan. The problem is that we now live in a very spoilt time filled with many spoilt people. Even dogs are now spoilt. Growing up our puppy dogs didn’t have air-conditioning and they were given Pal to eat. However, my sister’s two puppy dogs are very accustomed to air-conditioning and gourmet food. But at least our canine friends aren’t lecturing us and calling us “climate deniers”.
Unless it gets nobbled (always a possibility) this inquiry has the potential to be a beauty.

With all that’s known now (and, as Fauci has just admitted, was from the beginning) this is simply premeditated murder.

My brothers GF is an ER doctor, she said since GPs became a “specialisation” with extra training , certification etc etc, many medical grads are going “stuff it, for the same time/effort I can become a xxx & make the big bucks”.
Sadly we do not have enough specialists in anything else either as the Colleges are also restricting the number of training places.
Should we have an occasional thread devoted to talking to brainwashed people? I am developing some lines to say to them when certain topics come up. Thoughts?
Hydroxychloroquine (like Ivermectin) was on the WHO ‘Essential Medicines’ list and was used, unsupervised, by millions in the 3rd world for decades. It was also widely used for patients with inflammatory arthritis. Like all drugs it has side effects but these, including the cardiac issue (PR prolongation – the same effect that the US FAA has now ‘normalised’ by changing the ECG parameters for pilots btw!!). It was only when the forces of darkness discovered it was effective for covid that it had to be demonised (you cant have emergency authorisation of the covid shots if there is an effective existing remedy).
So they killed it with a fraudulent study where they overdosed the patients greatly (gave them 8x the correct dose if i remember rightly).
I also think Clive had Ivermectin – I understand they sourced it from a Dr who was aboard.
I personally spoke to my local pharmacist about filling prophylactic scripts for Hydroxychloroquine early on – she said they had been instructed by the pharmacy guild NOT to full them.

Even then it was obvious to anyone except populist Liars politicians, venal entrepreneurs (think pink helicopters, grand pianos and crystal chandeliers) and their tame “health economists” that it was going to be unsustainable. Now we have General Practice disappearing due to a perfect storm consisting of:
Economic lack of viability of Medicare including the lack of a demand management and paltry increases in the rebates
Low incomes for GPs compared to pretty much any other specialty
Entrepreneurial corporatisation of primary care
The traitorous and self serving influence of the AMA and RACGP (known for years in the profession as the College of Wankers)
The jackboot of regulation applied by AHPRA
Part time working by docs, in part due to the increased number of female doctors who need to balance work and family commitments
Continued attempts by other professions (pharmacy etc) to get a bite of the Medicare cake – god knows whey they want it, it’s like turkeys voting for Christmas
The Pandemic
Years of training required to increase the supply of Australian educated GPs even if all the other stuff was fixed tomorrow (which it won’t be!)
I could go on…
The only surprise is that it took 40 years. The only satisfying aspect is that the collapse is happening under a Liars government. Medicare was the most holy sacred cow of all for the ALP and it will be popcorn time watching them having to deal with its collapse.

You have to realise that Ruperdink Mudrock designed news.com.au to appeal to gullible idiots by using the same gullibility — and you can forget about ethics.
News.com.au “journalists” don’t see it as their jobs to tell the truth, but to tell their gullible readers what they want to hear.
News.com.au is the opposite of journalism because Ruperdink Mudrock figured out that gullibility is a disinformation market he can exploit.
Last time I looked, news.com.au was the most popular “news” website in Australia.
He seems to cover most of it.

I think there is plenty of expenses seeking to maintain “accreditation”. Just another ticket clipping exercise by a professional service group. When the alternative is joining a corporate practice management company (more $$$) suddenly 5++ years of study doesn’t look like a great idea.

Ukraine’s Never-Ending Demands
The world’s governments must carefully examine Zelenskyy’s demands to ensure that the war does not escalate into WWIII.
TIPPINSIGHTS EDITORIAL BOARD
February 10, 2023
Nothing in the news is ever constant, but there is one exception: Ukraine’s president Zelenskyy and his senior members requesting, urging, and even cajoling world leaders to give more and more and ever more. Weapons, missile systems, aircraft, fast-track entry into the EU, training, money for reconstruction – the list never ends.
Emboldened by the Ukraine military’s successes, work, and sacrifice, senior officials’ pitches now come with a common theme: Ukraine is the theater where democracy’s future lies, so if countries don’t support Ukraine, they are guilty of not supporting democracy. In the amplified world of social media, forcing governments to act out of a perceived sense of righteousness and shame has been a brilliant strategy of Zelenskyy’s that historians will study for generations.
Senior Ukrainian officials have cleverly usurped President George W. Bush’s “Either you are with us, or you are with the terrorists” line. Speaking to a joint session of Congress nine days after 9/11, President Bush said that many countries had offered sympathy and support to the United States. The rest, he said, face a choice. “Every nation, in every region, now has a decision to make. Either you are with us, or you are with the terrorists.” Zelenskyy often refers to Russian fighters as “terrorists” for all the gruesome civilian casualties and war crimes in which President Putin has engaged.
But there are profound differences. America was attacked on its soil using everyday objects, such as planes, by terrorists on a suicide mission. The actors were stateless, and at the time of Bush’s speech, there was doubt about who orchestrated the attacks. The world was shocked not only at the terrible killing of innocent people; there was substantial worry that if this could happen to America, it could happen to them too.
And this fear, as it proved later, was entirely justified. From 9/11 through the end of 2015, the Director of National Intelligence cataloged over 500 terror attacks in a chilling timeline spanning every part of the globe. Bush’s call for the world to unite against a common stateless enemy was not only sound but existential. And it worked as countries worldwide invested trillions on homeland security, ending privacy and freedom privileges we took for granted before 9/11.
Russia attacked Ukraine in a conventional war. President Putin began amassing his soldiers on the Ukrainian border for months. Interested parties, led by the United States, met in Geneva two months before the war to dissuade Putin from attacking. The sides couldn’t agree to settle Putin’s grievances.
When peace talks fail, human history tells us that war is often the result.
As early as September 2014, after Russia annexed Crimea, the University of Chicago political scientist John Mearsheimer, in his brilliant September 2014 piece in Foreign Affairs, “Why the Ukraine Crisis Is the West’s Fault,” blamed the United States and its allies for unknowingly provoking a major crisis over Ukraine. In an interview with the New Yorker in March 2022, Prof. Mearsheimer said, “It’s hard to say whether he’s going to go after the rest of Ukraine because—I don’t mean to nitpick here, but—that implies that he wants to conquer all of Ukraine, and then he will turn to the Baltic states, and his aim is to create a greater Russia or the reincarnation of the Soviet Union. I don’t see evidence at this point that that is true.”
But Zelenskyy and his senior staff continue to argue that if Russia annexes Ukraine, other countries may be next. And to Zelenskyy’s credit, his plan of instilling fear has worked. Sweden and Finland now have pending NATO applications. Corporate media airs stories daily about Moldova being Putin’s next target.
Ukraine has also extended its demands into other areas, continuing to build pressure on the world to act in ways Kyiv prefers. The country has been feverishly lobbying the International Olympic Committee to exclude Russian and Belarusian athletes from the Paris Games in 2024. Never mind that such a move could be a public relations nightmare for the IOC.
Last summer, Wimbledon banned tennis players from those two countries and immediately invited sanctions from the players association, which refused to award points for the tournament. In what ended up being an exhibition tournament, the eventual winner in the Ladies’ Final was a player who was born in Russia and represented Kazakhstan. Learning from Wimbledon’s mistakes, the U.S. Open and the Australian Open did not ban athletes, arguing that the players were not involved in the war and the right thing to do was to separate politics from sports.
On February 3, a Ukrainian official, Vadym Guttsait, said that if Ukraine failed to persuade international sports officials to bar Russian athletes, the country would, in his opinion, have to “skip the Olympic Games.” Not falling for this propaganda, IOC president Thomas Bach told Ukraine that Kyiv’s calls for a boycott of the 2024 Paris Games over possible participation of Russian athletes goes against Olympic “principles,” and such pressure by Kyiv on other nations was “extremely regrettable.”
Ukraine has become so used to getting its demands met that it never stops making new ones.
War strategists agree that when Elon Musk offered Starlink technology for free to the Ukrainians, it made a significant difference to fighters in the field to stay connected. But when Musk refused Ukraine’s request to use the technology for offensive warfare because Starlink was never meant to be weaponized, Ukraine immediately attacked the very benefactor that has been helping it.
According to the New York Times, Mykhailo Podolyak, a senior adviser to Ukraine’s president, Volodymyr Zelensky, said that companies are either on the side of Ukraine and “the right to freedom,” or they are on Russia’s side and the “right to kill and seize territories.” Starlink, he said, “should choose a specific option.”
At this rate, President Zelenskyy and his team’s guilt-inducing pressure tactics may soon lose their sting.
And the EU helpfully pointed out that Scotland doesn’t meet its financial criteria for membership.
No doctor says you have five hours to live. That’s ridiculous. If you believe that, you’re gullible enough to have voted for Clive.
You could stand to lose 70 years.
I emailed Ms Carey, as invited in her ‘Cash is a Cooker’ story. I asked her why, prey-tell, she was so sure that 2 senior professionals who had for decades been being paid good money to make life critical decisions for their customers (myself, an anaesthetist, Hood, a Qantas Captain), could be brushed off when they felt so strongly about the safety of the covid injections, that they chose to lose their jobs, reputations etc, rather than complying?
What was she going to do if they were right?
Zelenskyy is an abrasive clown. You can also tell a man by his friends.
That’s your hunter instincts coming out, Doc.
She’s like a deer in the headlights. Or a rabbit more likely.

First reviews of Jeremy Clarkson’s Farm Season 2 with viewers all saying the same thing
Fans rush to watch Jeremy Clarkson’s farm antics with Kaleb Cooper as Series 2 starts on Amazon today, February 10
Clarkson’s Farm Season 2 aired today(February 10) with eager fans binge-watching the Amazon Prime show from the crack of dawn. And first reviews of Jeremy Clarkson’s latest Diddly Squat Farm shenanigans got viewers all saying the same thing.
The ex-Top Gear presenter made a long-awaited return with show favourite Kaleb Cooper, his wife Lisa Hogan, Gerald and ‘Cheerful’ Charlie Ireland as they endeavour to make a success of the Cotswolds farm.
The new season has eight episodes, just like the first series, but within hours, fans had raced through. Lisa Parry commented: “Watching! 7 minutes in, and I’ve not stopped laughing, smiling and feeling tremendously happier than I have done in a while.”
Laughter seemed to be the common theme from fans with most saying it was as good as the first series and one viewer even declaring Clarkson’s Farm as “probably the best programme on TV ever”.
Shayne Andrews was quick to get into the new series, saying: “Watching them cooking the chilli had tears in my eyes from laughing.” Another fan of the show Lucy said: I’m now on Episode 4! Haven’t laughed so much in ages! Another great series.”
Scott Janaway added: “How long have we been waiting for this. Probably the best program on TV ever. The man is a genius.”
Dean Taylor agreed with many about the humour saying: “Clarkson farm 2 didn’t disappoint absolutely hilarious !!!! Well done good sir.”
Jonathan Marsh spent this morning watching the new series and said: “Two in and already as good as first season. Some funny moments too.”
Success of Clarkson’s Farm, which has become a day out attraction in Chipping Norton with its own shop, has also attracted fans worldwide. Many of those were also tuning in as soon as the second season was released.

“Look at me, everyone thinks I’m an idiot! Surely that means I could be right?”
I had a chat this morning with a mate I haven’t seen for 2 weeks.
Tells me he had covid very badly and had been laid up, despite being vaxxed and boosted.
I said “So what you’re telling me is that vaccines don’t work?”
“No” he replied. “I assume it just would have been even worse if I hadn’t been jabbed.”
So we’ve gone from two weeks to flatten the curve to prevent transmission and protect the community to its for your own benefit
Now if they’d told us that right from the start I believe the rate of vaccine injury would have been significantly less, because fewer people would have been coerced into taking the shot.

For over 30 years, I was forced to ‘invest’ in Super by having my employer remove money from each paycheck. Now that I need it in my ‘retirement’, I can only have it back if I pay a 32% tribute to the government (they ‘retired’ me before retirement age you see).
I worked out years ago that they were going to steal ALL your super (if not outright by seizure, then by rolling your funds into one single, ‘safe’, government pot from which you got paid an ever more worthless pension in printed fiat – ‘in response to overwhelming public demand for safety’). Hence, I started saving *outside* of super. I bought precious metals and bitcoin, both of which have appreciated nicely, and can be accessed whenever I wish.

The reason why the present vaccine regime is satanic has nothing to do with the reality of vaccinations as a form of immunization but, rather, with the rhetoric and mechanisms by which they have been enforced on the population.
Crisis Magazine – Opinion – Kennedy Hall – February 10, 2023
The ardent vaccine disciples have acted like cult followers par excellence. They have looked on the unvaxxed masses as if they were heretics cast into the exterior darkness because they did not acquiesce to the self-evident teachings of the guru. They have not only looked on the unvaccinated or vaccine-skeptical with distrust, but with resentment or disdain.
In one breath, they are concerned for the immunological salvation of the unvaccinated “other” who has not entered into the secret mysteries of Covidian Illuminism; and in the next breath, they are disgusted by the unacceptable views of people so unenlightened that they dare not agree with the beliefs of the cult.

I immediately started watching after speaking to Elder Daughter, and I am up to Episode 3 & agree with statement above “How long have we been waiting for this. Probably the best program on TV ever. The man is a genius.”
OO, I dont usually watch any tele at all. But on hols this week I have watched all of season 1 of Clarkson’s Farm with some of my adult family. For someone who doesn’t laugh much these days, I have laughed out loud and loved the show. Whatever people think of Jeremy, he is a compelling and entertaining host. Having livec rurally for some years and raised a number of poddy lambs it brings back happy memories.
Kenny and Albrechtsen in this week’s Paywallian. They both can’t be right. You’d have to be pretty sure of yourself to go up against Albrechtsen IMO.
That will end up being decided by the High Court.

Hey flyingduk, are you the same anaesthetist cooker who got arrested in the ACT for hitting a traffic controller with your car?
He would be the person who proved, to the complete satisfaction of the Beak, that three members of the AFP colluded to manufacture false evidence against him.
I am old enough to remember when the sensible left (not its fascist modern version) got quite upset about the police colluding to convict the innocent. Are you supporting fascist police verballing?
Every day, in every way, you demonstrate your infatuation with actual, exiting, fascism. Watch out for stray Ante=fa members in the street.
It is a long way back from that. Better just to enrol in a BA or J School from the get go.
From memory, didn’t the Mabo judgement have words to say about “sovereignty?”
After a tiring day, a commuter settled down in his seat and closed his eyes. As the train rolled out of the station, a woman that was sitting next to him pulled out her phone. When she pulled out her phone, she started talking to someone in a loud voice “Hi sweetheart, it’s me, I’m on the train right now”; “Yes, I know I’m late but it was because I had a long meeting”; “No honey, not the one with that Kevin from the accounting office. It was with my boss”; “No sweetheart, of course you’re the only one in my life. I wouldn’t cheat on a handsome man like you!”. Fifteen minutes later, she was still talking loudly on her phone. When the man sitting next to her finally had enough, he leaned over and said into the phone: “Hey, hang up the phone and come back to bed!”

Munty you’re phenomenally stupid, you never miss an opportunity to reinforce this.

#1. It’s Thompson’s word against Shano’s.
Since Thompson says he is okay with doing dodgy work, why would anyone take him at his word?
#2. He’s got Buckleys of ever getting that to Court, so why do work for Barristers unless it’s Cash up front?
#3. The Australian is spending a lot of time and money going after Drumgold.
The government will seize super the bail itself out of debt and to keep the welfare train going..
Your retirement is cancelled.
Another factor feeding into my exit plans.
Thanks for setting out your logic Groogs. Alas,we can’t give marks for showing your working out.
NATO is Already in Ukraine
From Armstrong Economics –
COMMENT: I want to apologize. I did not believe you that the West had been the aggressor. It turns out, NATO has troops already there because Ukraine has lost so many men. You were right. NATO troops are there and will be operating the tanks and aircraft. This is already world war III which has been undeclared. I yield to your sources.
Sincerely
PD
REPLY: I am against war. I know the objectives and the reasoning. This is not a conspiracy theory. Besides being asked to invest $10 billion back in 1999 to seize control of Russia, I have even been asked for advice on redesigning the monetary system after Bretton Woods II. Quite frankly, there is nothing I can do. These people have already made up their minds and they pat themselves on their backs for taking down Russia will save the planet.
NATO troops are already there. They pretend to be mercenaries. I am fully aware of your Austrian colonel Markus Reisner, who bluntly told a journalist, that NATO troops will run the tanks. He explained what everyone has already known. He admitted that “we don’t need to send NATO soldiers to Ukraine, I just take off my uniform and sign a contract with a private security company and I am going to Ukraine as I am no longer a member of the Austrian armed forces but a mercenary.”
So-called “foreign mercenaries” have been there fighting in Ukraine from the start. I know two French who returned disgusted about the war crimes and theft of equipment that the Ukrainians are carrying out. Another fact is that where there have been NATO “advisers” killed in action, they have been beheaded and their hands chopped off so the Russians have no proof that NATO has been in Ukraine.
Look, this war could end in one week. All they have to do is comply with the Minsk Agreement. The West WANTS this war – they NEED IT! People who think the government would never lie are beyond hope and probably wear a mask when they sleep at night – just in case. If you do not want to believe that, that’s your problem. Perhaps you will finally wake up when your future is totally gone. And they probably believe all inflation is Putin’s fault as well.
I am glad you kept an open mind. QUESTION everything and perhaps you will arrive at the truth, which is always the first casualty in war. NEVER believe what any government says. Just like Ukraine, they have been hiding their losses.
NATO is playing a very dangerous game. They are pushing this to the limit and are praying for Russia to attack anywhere outside of Ukraine so they can then claim it was an unprovoked attack – another fake Day that will live in Infamy!
They are looking to force Russia to throw up its hands and declare war on NATO to save its own people, culture, and history. These Neocons NEVER even weight the risks because they are so arrogant, they assume they will win and never have Plan B.”

“No doctor says you have five hours to live. That’s ridiculous. If you believe that, you’re gullible enough to have voted for Clive.”
I remember Anthony Albanese promising Australians that by voting for him and his party in last May’s election, Australian families would save roughly $275 annually on energy bills.
I didn’t believe that because I’m not that gullible. But many were. Were you one of those gullible voters who voted for Albanese?
US shoots down unknown ‘high-altitude object’ over Alaska, White House says
The White House said Friday that an unknown “high-altitude object” had been shot down over the waters off Alaska.
President Joe Biden ordered the shootdown, spokesman John Kirby said, adding that the origin of the object has yet to be determined.
Responding to reporters’ shouted questions about the shootdown Friday afternoon outside the White House, Biden called the operation a “success.”
It comes just days after the U.S. shot down a Chinese surveillance balloon last Saturday, following a political firestorm.
Kirby said the object was about the size of a small car and was at flying about 40,000 feet.
Traffic Controllers are prone to getting hit by cars.

There’s a saying on Qld Building sites:
It is hilarious that you bring up your shattered reputations, as if that confers any sort of gravitas.
My reputation is shattered in Australia, the country is full of Fascist Mongs who get queasy at the idea that government could be totally wrong. Outside of Australia, not so much!

Meat and mental health: a systematic review of meat abstention and depression, anxiety, and related phenomena. Urska Dobersek 1, Gabrielle Wy 2, Joshua Adkins 1, Sydney Altmeyer 1, Kaitlin Krout 1, Carl J Lavie 3, Edward Archer 4
PMID: 32308009 DOI: 10.1080/10408398.2020.1741505
Conclusion: Studies examining the relation between the consumption or avoidance of meat and psychological health varied substantially in methodologic rigor, validity of interpretation, and confidence in results. The majority of studies, and especially the higher quality studies, showed that those who avoided meat consumption had significantly higher rates or risk of depression, anxiety, and/or self-harm behaviors.
No Development Approval does not equal dodgy work. Thompson put himself in a no-win situation.
At that moment, when instructed by his customer (someone, incidentally, in a very high position in legal circles) to proceed without approval, he should have run a mile.
The customer, having his contractor by the short and curlies, then proceeded to find faults with the work and withhold payment. Whether these faults are real or not is moot. Having rectified the work, final payment should have been made to the contractor. It was not. This is a pretty typical situation when dealing with dodgy customers, wherever they exist in the pecking order.
As I said earlier, the moment a DA was dispensed with is when I would have run a mile. And Drumgold has no excuse – he knows when one is required and when it is not. Most people do. A simple google to Council, or even a phone call would do it.
“No” he replied. “I assume it just would have been even worse if I hadn’t been jabbed.”
You know you’re in a cult when….
The exception might be Family Court barristers.
I’ve heard they’re held in exceptionally low regard by the rest of the profession.
Was that your experience, Humpty?
OK, he’s out then!
For me, the interesting question is why was Sofranoff brought in in the first place? A hard arsed jurist, with unlimited scope and the powers of a Royal Commission – appointed by an ALP mini-government.
Running things through the political filter, I surmise that Team ALP has a high degree of confidence that the inquiry will follow a line of political interference in Drumgold’s prosecution of Lehrmann, leading back to Reynolds/Morrison – and potentially Peter Dutton.
