Calli, females born since the turn of the century are not just “fag haggy”; homosexuality is now a social fashion with around a third if young people currently identifying as gay, according to a recent survey in the Herald Sun.

Of course, it’s a fad and it will pass, but if you’re wondering where our low fertility is coming from, that’s where.

Millenials are barracking for the end of humanity out of cultural self-hatred. They’re ashamed of how successful we are as as species through its wealth-creating devices like the free market, which they’re now hell-bent on destroying.

Millenials are barracking for poverty, food shortages, a return to the 1940s and (gasp!) the end of the iPhone! Truly the stupidest generation in human history.

Being female is fun. I had a good time today buying some clothing that will do until I can refit my various purchases made prior to recent pig-outs in furrin climes, purchases which now sit in the wardrobe category as ‘aspirational’. To be worn when thinner. Too many Scottish breakfasts with haggis and too many huge US meals with fries have taken their toll on my waistline. This situation will not be fixed in a jiffy and a girl’s got to have something to wear in the meantime.

Shoes are always a good purchase too, because feet don’t change much. Go to it, Cassie.

Cosmetics are also fat-free purchases. Two new Lancome lipsticks and some special face cream at Heathrow’s duty free to use up the spare British currency made Hairy recoil when he went to pay for them. He expected change to put in the charity box but instead they asked him to top up the purchase with his credit card. lol. Men know nothing about what a beautiful new lipstick with luscious promise and a few other cosmetics with style can do for the wifely soul traumatised by the avoirdupois of over-indulgence.

It’s curing one sort of over-indulgence with another. ๐Ÿ™‚

In possibly the most shocking news youโ€™re likely to hear all month, Reserve Bank governor Philip Lowe has come out in defence of Australiaโ€™s banks making record profits, while the economy teeters on the edge of The Recession We Probably Didnโ€™t Need To Have, But Will Likely End Up With Anywayโ„ข.

Thatโ€™s as opposed to The Recession We Had To Haveยฎ, delivered by then-Treasurer Paul Keating in 1990, when mortgage interest rates were up near what youโ€™re paying on your credit cards in 2023, and Australians had a legitimate excuse to complain about how sore everyoneโ€™s arse was, all the time.

The bad news for mortgage holders is: while appearing before Senate estimates โ€“ basically the same thing as a public service job interview, where a panel of uniquely unqualified people try to figure out if youโ€™re going to be a threat to them in any way โ€“ Lowe confirmed more interest rate hikes are on the way.

โ€œI donโ€™t think weโ€™re at the peak yet, but how far we have to go up I donโ€™t know,โ€ Lowe said, sending a very clear message that the entire thingโ€™s careening out of control and no one can remember that the nationโ€™s safe word is โ€œpumpernickelโ€.

During the session, Lowe also took some time out to have a moan about how hard things are for him at the top, because โ€“ as the public face of the RBA โ€“ he gets a lot of static about interest rates from people like me.

Lowe also said he found it โ€œa bit unfairโ€ that criticism of rate hikes was directed at him, and pointed out that โ€œthere are nine of usโ€ on the RBA board who make the decision, no doubt garnering huge quantities of sympathy from the infinitesimally tiny fraction of the population that could name the other eight off the top of their head.

Still, Lowe has acknowledged that โ€œunemployment needs to rise to bring inflation back downโ€, which could be construed as a thinly-veiled threat to his โ€œanonymousโ€ RBA Board counterparts who arenโ€™t shouldering their share of the blame from irate punters down the pub.

There is other good news on the horizon for Aussies who are wondering why it is that The Banks will hike their mortgage rates the instant the RBA announces a rate hike, but will often take quite some time to lift savings rates, and when they do, itโ€™s never by the โ€œfull amountโ€.

The ACCC says it has been hard at work investigating how this could ever possibly be the case, and that the investigation should be finalised by Decemberโ€ฆ by which time it will be too late and weโ€™ll all be eating garbage from the neighbourโ€™s bin for Christmas lunch, because the economy is a complete shambles.

It is still not certain that Mike Pompeo will run for the Presidency โ€“ though his weight loss and new book on his role in the Trump years suggest that he will.

This stuff is hilarious! On a good day Pompeo gets all of 1% of the primary vote. Nicky Haley at least gets 3%. Huge! Why are they doing this I have no idea.

Polls: Donald Trump Leads Potential Primary Opponents by Double-Digits (14 Feb)

“2024 National Republican Primary:
Trump 43%
DeSantis 31%
Pence 7%
Haley 4%
@Reuters/@Ipsos

2024 National Republican Primary:
Trump 47%
DeSantis 31%
Pence 7%
Haley 3%
Cheney 3%
Cruz 3%
Abbott 1%
Noem 1%
Pompeo 1%
T. Scott 1%
Youngkin 0%
@MorningConsult”

Given that Trump voters don’t answer polls I think these numbers underestimate his vote. The base will crawl over burning broken glass for him. And they would spit on any GOP elite or party apparatchik they came across.

Be very interesting how this pans out: either the GOP and the Dems find a way to get him off the ticket or the McConnell wing will be eating indigestible furballs. And if they do get him off the ticket the Republicans will be obliterated since all the Trump voters will stay at home in 2024, cleaning their firearms just in case.

Whilst there are articles in the Oz about Covid policies and vaccine that sometimes make you think the tide is turning you would be wrong. The true test is what the moderators do. 2 hours to reject my comment below:

“The problem is the TGA approves the drugs and then gets to decide which injuries and deaths count as vaccine related. They also get to decide who gets compensated. This is a major conflict of interest as it is not in their interest to have higher number of vaccine injuries.

Was not aware Pfizer had had a death attributed to them. Mocker might want to look up Dr Melissa McCann and the result of FOI she did relating to two children.

Then there is the sad case of 23 year old Caitlin Goetz from Toowoomba which is not counted. Watch an interview with her mother and see if agree not counted.

For the record there have been over 900 deaths reported to TGA, as per FOI logs, but they have only counted 14.

Yesterday expert Peter Collignon on News com au was quoted as saying the death rate was 0.1% of known cases. What the article did not mention was their average ages and co-morbidities,”.

I think you can safely conclude not approved as might result in vaccine hesitancy.

I remember seeing a program in Japan where a school class or scout group or some such went on an excursion to the beech.

One stocky lad emerged from the waters, rotund ravenous and dripping like the illicit issue of a tryst between Venus and Monty, holding a heptapus (it had previously been an octopus) and a single tentacle protruding from his mouth groping around through instinct.

It struck me as indicating a very different idea of creatures and food. They didnโ€™t even require it to be dead before eating.

My ancestors could see a cow and a meal at the same time. I canโ€™t. I donโ€™t presume to claim superior sensibilities, I am simply of my time.

There was also an add for a restaurant that showed an expansive dish with a great big raw fish adorned with prawns and scallops and other sea life. Suddenly the fish twitched violently, sending some of the prawns scattering and which themselves twitched about with their last sputtering spark of life.

What was utterly macabre to me was a mouth-watering temptation for the other 125,000,000 people in the country.

De Santis is needed to cofferdam Florida. He should not waste his energy on a Presidential run, which he can’t possibly be successful in doing. The Dems have their organization mature and experienced, no Republican can win in 2024. Zero chance. So he’s better off cleaning the stables in Florida, and there’s plenty still to be cleaned in Broward.

If he can do that the Florida National Guard becomes a serious ace in the hole for the future of the United States, if the worst happens. Which seems increasingly likely unfortunately.

Trump can’t win in 2024 either, of course. But if he’s really clever he can use his run to help clean out the Republican Party. That would be a positive result, although I think the Republican Party is as much a dead loss as the Liberal Party. Too far gone. But he can go to God knowing he tried.

Homosexuality is a rabbit hole from which almost no-one returns.”

I don’t disagree, but I also think lesbianism is a fashion. A few weeks ago I caught up with someone I hadn’t seen in over a decade. She talked about her daughter, now at university. She showed me a picture of her daughter, a very pretty girl. Anyway, after a long time talking about this and that, she said to me that her daughter had told her and her husband that she’s a lesbian. I said “really”. The girl is barely out of her teens. I asked her what precipitated her daughter’s “confession”. She said that her daughter told her she doesn’t find males attractive. I tried to be diplomatic, I’m not intolerant but I don’t think that many lesbians are born, most are made and or moulded by circumstance, usually having had bad experiences with men. Being diplomatic, I asked whether this old friend whether her daughter had ever been out with a man and she said no. I asked her whether he daughter had ever been out with a woman and she said no.

The thing is, once up on a time such a “decision” would have been taboo. If I’d ever said to my mother that I was a lesbian, even as a young adult, I suspect my mother would have grabbed a wooden spoon and chased me with it. But now anything goes, there are no taboos, no stigmas. I doubt her daughter is a natural born lesbian, she’s probably intimidated by males and is shy and awkward. We live in strange times.

I live in the City of Sydney and there’s been strike action so our rubbish, from last Friday, remains uncollected and so is now stinking and fermenting on the streets, no doubt attracting rodents and other creatures. This piece of paper, full of the usual Clover spin, says that “the City council supports the rights of workers to take action to achieve fair wages and conditions, and so there will be additional further action“. She ends her piece by saying “we are all hoping the situation is resolved quickly”….which is Clover speak for doing fark all. She’ll wash her hands of this because she won’t allow it to impact her progressive credentials. This is the same Clover who allowed a tent city full of scum to grow in Martin Place.

Kennan, et al., who have warned about NATO eastward expansion didnโ€™t worry about whether this would make Russia the victim, they warned that such a policy would inevitably lead to a forceful response from Russia.

As I said, Russia has been roughing up nearly all the former republics. I donโ€™t understand your reposed to that comment.

Sometimes doing as one wants isnโ€™t the most prudent national policy.

Depends on what that means. Ukraine wants to have much closer relations with the West. It obviously wanted NATO membership to protect itself against a very aggressive neighbour. Who could blame her when Russia has had hostile relations with nearly every former part of the Soviet Union.

โ€œGrowingโ€ carbon in Queensland.

CUNNAMULLA, Australia โ€” Carol Godfrey gazed out her helicopter cockpit at the miles of mulgas glowing green and gold in the dawn light. For decades, the bushy trees had been little more than a last resort for farmers needing to feed their cattle in the arid Outback. But recently, the humble mulgas have become a hot commodity.
Itโ€™s not the hardwoods themselves that are valuable, however. Itโ€™s what they store: carbon.
A few years ago, during a severe drought, Godfrey and her husband Lindsay, the former mayor of Cunnamulla, had almost been forced to sell this sprawling family farm in the south of the state of Queensland. But then they turned to carbon farming. Last year, carbon credits earned them half a million dollars.
โ€œWe were so close to being wiped out,โ€ the 68-year-old said over the roar of the chopper blades. โ€œNow, no matter the weather, the carbon income comes in regularly every year.โ€

One morning a copper stopped me from my feeble jog through Victoria Park because the lads from Moree were down to get on the piss with their rellies in Redfern and had set up an embassy which was immediately embraced by Clover. She put our park off limits.
There was endless ‘talk back’ outrage, but the ABC, confident in the belief that their audience would be compliant to the narrative took their eye off the ball.
A bloke phoned in and said “just go and offer the bastards a job, that’ll get rid of em “.
After a long silence a stuttering ABC apologist ranted endlessly about hate and Clover declared war on Sydney, but the lads were back to Moree soon after.

Like people who go on a cruise shipโ€ฆ.

Fair enough comment, I guess. Thing is though, cruise ships have taken my wife and me to parts of the world I could never have dreamed of seeing even 30 years ago. We know we’re not seeing anything in depth; if we want that, we go back later. But for me, it was the perfect way to lose the pressures of work; three days into a cruise and that part of my life was a distant memory.

Even now, retired, we both enjoy sea days because we simply love being on the ocean. My dad, 30 years in the RAN, used to say, “Anyone who’s been at sea believes in the existence of God”. OK, I may not go quite that far, but the sea is, to me anyway, spiritual. Anyone who can travel up through the Inside Passage and into Glacier Bay, and not feel some primal connection, a sudden understanding of what the word “awe” means, is either soul-dead or lying.

And no, it’s not as I imagine living in an RSL club is like … I say imagine because we don’t have them here in WA. Sure, there’s a casino and bingo and all that crap. But there are also quiet places to sit and read, have a long drink or an excellent coffee, music to listen to โ€” a gentle piano or strings โ€” and an adult bar with soft lights, comfortable chairs and attentive waiters. It all depends on what you’re after. And then there’s a gentle nightcap on your balcony, serenaded by the susurration of the waves, the only lighting the glow of the moon as it draws a golden pathway across the water. All the hustle, the bustle, the bingo, the casino, the live shows, the deck parties โ€” are gone. Just the two of you and the night.

And then the crisp, clean sheets and doona, and the distant thrum of the engines and props as you drift off, knowing it will happen all over again tomorrow.

Yeah, we like cruising.

She comes from a small town of 15,000 and thought if she is getting 4 in a week what would be the total elsewhere. Hopefully soon her speech will be online and you can have the opportunity to say she is misleading or lying.

I have long thought it odd NZ and UK have had Pfizer deaths but Oz had none.

“Conferences expose โ€˜wilful concealmentโ€™ of vaccine-induced deaths

The concealment of vaccine induced deaths by Australian regulators, brought to light in a recent series of conferences presented by the United Australia Party, has sent shockwaves around the country.

United Australia Party Chairman, Clive Palmer, praised the courage of the medical experts who spoke at the sold out conferences, which were attended by many thousands of concerned Australians in Melbourne, Sydney, the Gold Coast and the Sunshine Coast.

Referring to a current article by one of the key speakers, renowned American cardiologist Dr Peter McCullough, Mr Palmer said the exposure of โ€œwilful concealmentโ€ by the TGA should be greatly concerning for all Australians.

Dr McCollough wrote: โ€œIn an explosive set of public lectures, crowded halls filled with thousands of Australians learned from Dr Melissa McCann (BPharm, MBBS, FRACGP), who also holds a Graduate Certificate of Allergic Disease, that Dr John Skerritt and the TGA had determined that several previously healthy young children died of COVID-19 vaccine induced myocarditis. Redacted letters from the TGA to Dr McCann indicated these facts and an admission of wilful concealment.

โ€œThe dossier included letters of concern from Dr McCann, other doctors and the responses from Skerritt. Alarmingly, Skerritt and the TGA did not want to go public with these cases in order to keep the vaccine campaign going without โ€œvaccine hesitancyโ€ among a weary public who were witnessing countless injuries, disabilities, and deaths with repeated injections.

Dr McCann showed each letter and the causality determination with the vignette of victim after victim.โ€

Clive Palmer said the huge public response to the Australian vaccine conferences highlighted the publicโ€™s concern in the breach of public safety by the TGA.

โ€œI commend those Australians who voted with their feet in attending these conferences and the brave medical experts for sharing their expertise in bringing these important matters into the public domain,โ€ Mr Palmer said.

Cruise ships are the equivalent of a 15 minute village.

Been on a lot of them then have you, Steve?

Nope. I couldn’t think of anything more stupid. Venturing into National Parks and camping in a Gorge where rangers would not give a f**king look, rules the roost. If they did role up, we would have fed them. This was after leaving Wittenoom and venturing into hidden places. A few 4WD groups had discovered them. Dad’s old school diesel Toyota… take your foot of the clutch and it drove up itself up the hill was a classic.

Go on a Cruise Ship! Imbeciles!

What’s the matter, Steve, not enough interaction on that other blog?

Leave the travellers and cruisers alone, I personally wouldn’t be on a cruiseship unless to save my life, but if someone likes it, why not?

I can have a drink at any time and put clean sheets on the bed, added bonus, don’t have to put up with hundreds of possibly obnoxious people.

Just me but, so carry on cruising.

Extract . Note of the 5 cases mentioned only the Moderna was added to FOI log. The 4 Pfizer were covered up.

Dover might want to consider a specific thread for this as fairly significant. Also note Skerritt last week announced resigning.

BREAKING: Australia’s drug regulator hid vaccine deaths from the public, concerned that ‘disclosure could undermine public confidence’
The hidden deaths include two children, 7 and 9 years old, who both suffered fatal cardiac arrests which the TGA assessed as causally linked to Covid vaccination

Rebekah Barnett
14 hr ago
Documents obtained under Freedom of Information (FOI) request by Dr Melissa McCann reveal that the TGA appears to have hidden numerous vaccine-induced deaths from the public view, including those of two children.

Dr McCann shared the shocking revelation in her address at the Covid Vaccine Conference, hosted by Clive Palmerโ€™s United Australia Party over the weekend in Brisbane, Melbourne and Sydney. The event featured leading ICU physician Dr Pierre Kory, cardiologist and epidemiologist Dr Peter McCullough, and McCulloughโ€™s collaborator, author John Leake.

Addressing sold out crowds, Dr McCann shared the extraordinary lengths she had to go to to extract causality assessment documents relating to the TGAโ€™s investigation of reported deaths after Covid vaccination, which were obtained under FOI request in a process that took six months. Dr McCann lodged the request after seeing an unexpectedly high number of patients coming through her clinic experiencing adverse events after immunisation (AEFIs). She also noticed a high number of serious AEFI reports in the in the DAEN database, including the reported death of a 14 year old in October 2021.

In her original FOI request, Dr McCann requested causality assessments for all of the reported deaths in the DAEN database. This request was denied due to the large scope, and in negotiation with the TGA, Dr McCann agreed to revise down the request to the 11 documents that were eventually handed over, of which 10 related to DAEN death reports.

When the documents were finally provided to Dr McCann in July 2022, she was dismayed to find that there were multiple reports that the TGA had assessed as causally linked to Covid vaccination, but, with the exception of one death, had not been reported in the TGAโ€™s regular Safety Reports.

Following is a list of deaths that the TGAโ€™s own reports assessed as causally linked to Covid vaccination:

21 year old female
Case 729139, Document 1
Moderna booster. Fatal AEFIs, including myocarditis, cardiac arrest, renal impairment, femoral artery embolism, spinal cord infarction.
Assessment outcome: โ€˜Causalโ€™
* Initially determined as โ€˜unclassifiableโ€™. VSIG (FOI 4049 Doc 5) updated the assessment outcome to ‘causal’.

9 year old
Case 724023, Document 2
Pfizer vaccination. Fatal AEFI, cardiac arrest.
Assessment outcome: โ€˜Causality assessment outcomeโ€™

24 year old female
Case 718277, Document 3
Pfizer vaccination. Fatal AEFI, cardiac arrest.
Assessment outcome: ‘Causalityโ€™

7 year old male
Case 719838, Document 5
Pfizer vaccination. Fatal AEFI, cardiac arrest.
Assessment outcome: ‘Causality’

21 year old male
Case 644148, Document 6
Pfizer vaccination. Fatal AEFI.
Assessment outcome: โ€˜? causalityโ€™

Of the above five listed deaths, only the first (21 year old female, case 729139) has been published in the TGA Safety Reports.1 The reported deaths are listed in DAEN, but the causality assessment is not visible to the public.

Australians have been falsely and misleadingly advised by the TGA and official health representatives, that out of 973 reported deaths, only 14 have been assessed as being causally linked to the Covid vaccines (13 following Astra Zeneca, 1 following Moderna).

The causality assessment reports released under FOI 3272 prove this statement to be a lie.

TGA Covid Vaccine Safety Report 15 December 2022
The November 2022 TGA Safety Report states that, โ€œThere have been no deaths in children or adolescents determined to be linked to COVID-19 vaccination.โ€ But the assessment reports indicating the causal role of the Pfizer vaccine in the cases of the 7 and 9 year old children were released to Dr McCann in July 2022.

The causality assessment reports released under FOI 3272 prove this statement to also be a lie.

TGA Covid Vaccine Safety Report 3 November 2022
On reading the causality assessments provided to her under FOI 3727, Dr McCann felt both shocked and confused. โ€œWhy has this information not been provided to health professionals and the public who are making consent decisions? Children are continuing to be vaccinated and this is something that parents deserve to be able to weigh up,โ€ Dr McCann told Dystopian Down Under.

It gets worse. Dr McCann was surprised to find that documents 1-10 out of a total 11 documents from FOI 3727 had not been uploaded to the TGAโ€™s public disclosure log, per regular protocol. She emailed the TGA to query why documents 1-10 had been withheld from the disclosure log, and was advised, in a communication on 24 August 2022,

โ€œThe decision maker for this request decided not to publish documents 1-10 pursuant to section 11c(1)(a) of the FOI Act as they contain sensitive personal information about deceased persons. As you would appreciate, consultation with the families of the deceased was not considered appropriate, and, as such, consultation was not undertaken with those families. Further, the decision maker determined that disclosure of the documents could undermine public confidence and reduce the willingness of the public to report adverse events to the TGA.โ€

The TGA seems to have assumed that families of the deceased will not want to hear from them. On the contrary, Deb, mother of 21 year old Natalie (case 729139), told Jab Injuries Australia that the lack of contact from the TGA was, โ€œdisgraceful treatment of a grieving mother who could have made a meaningful contribution to their investigations.โ€ Deb says that she has never been contacted by the TGA, and only discovered the causality assessment outcome of her daughterโ€™s death via the TGAโ€™s Safety Report (23 September 2022), which she accessed online00)0)00

From Senator Gerard Rennick web page. His Twitter account has very detailed story about Nathalie mentioned above. Note the lack of media interest.
TGA covered up vaccine deaths of a 7 & 9 year old
12 February 2023
Would you vaccinate your child if you knew that the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) were hiding the deaths of two children, aged 7 and 9, in March 2022, following a fatal Pfizer vaccination?

Last year an FOI was lodged that asked for the one page causality assessments of reported deaths to the TGA of young people.

The Adverse Event Following Immunisation Assessment Team prepares these reports and can be considered the governmentโ€™s version of the truth.

There were ten reports provided in the FOI. Two of these reports had the outcome of โ€œcausality.โ€ They were for a 7 and 9 year old boy.

The TGA refused to publish this data on the FOI log. The person who lodged the FOI then took the TGA to the AAT (Administrative Appeals Tribunal) to get the information released, but like every other bureaucracy in the country, the AAT took the side of secrecy rather than transparency.

The deaths havenโ€™t been reported in the fortnightly Covid reports either. This decision has clearly been overruled by the bureaucrats looking to protect the narrative rather than our health.

Iโ€™ve been trying to get a mainstream media organisation to run this story for the last two months as this level of deceit needs to be exposed outside social media.

Unfortunately they pulled the story last Friday morning.

If the TGA can cover up the deaths of children from the vaccine what else have they covered up? I suspect quite a lot.

I will pursue this issue this week in estimates.

Bourne1879, I can understand adults getting the vaccine either in full knowledge of the benefits and or risk, perceived it may have been, or compelled to take it due to work.

But young people and children?
It was emphasised early on, if I remember correctly, that the virus posed a negligible risk to them.
Even one of those children dying is too many.

Did someone say cruiseship and obnoxious people?

My last experience had a bloke in a dress with hairy legs and a blue wig wandering all over, and on the stage the MC introduced 2 loudmouth teenagers who were in a “long term” relationship, both males. and the “comedians” were not funny

Camping is very … well … camp.
You spend a shitload on equipment in a vain attempt to be half as comfortable as home and, no matter how far you roam in this wide brown land, you are never more than 5.6 kms away from “Barry and Cheryl UHF channel 23”.
Studies show that kiddie fiddlers are over-represented among caravanners and campers.

Watching Glenn Greenwald’s show.
Obama administration did what the rail industry asked & dialled back regulation.
Trump administration dialled it back further.
And the Biden administration stepped in to protect a rail industry from any strike activity.

On a seperate, unrelated note, the biggest owner of rail assets in the US?
Berkshire Hathaway (via a range of subsidies).
