TRUMP IS STILL PRESIDENT!

Is that from the “why did Trump something something executive order 31415654” school of thought ?

Being top of the page doesn’t give one the satisfaction it used to.
Only 40% of the satisfaction to be exact.

People were more angry with me saying:

1. Trump was right about N Korea
2. Trump won.

No one really got angry bar one bloke and we got over it and I’d say became mates after we had it out, re:

3. The risks outweigh the benefits from the COVID jabs which are totally not compulsory.

Thalidomide was in an era of shorter approval processes. Thalidomide is a chemical enantiomer with a mirror image molecule that can behave quite differently despite superficial similarity.

Biochemistry tends to be left or right handed. R thalidomide treats nausea. S thalidomide can cause birth defects.

R thalidomide in the body racemises to a 50/50 equilibrium of R and S thalidomide enantiomers.

I believe this was not known when it was approved.

which are totally not compulsory.

Of everything that happened in Oz, this one grates.
The walking back of the “you didn’t have to get the jab if you didn’t want to”.
What a load of shite.
Unless you were retired or minted, didn’t go out much or if you did you went to places only like the beach or park only, you had to if you wanted to exist.

If we DO get the lockdowns, curfews, social distancing, masks, egregious surveillance and tracking & vaccine mandates and bans on previously approved medicines, I will not comply at all. Not like last time when I flew under the radar and complied only when absolutely necessary.

You only need 1/20 or so people to do this.

There just isn’t enough cops to handle it. Most of them hated doing it anyway.

The whole thing was a sham when immigration was not shut down and we had made up nonsense like being masked at a pub but you could take it off to eat, what a polite virus.

The real virus of course was vote rigging of suitcases stuffed full of unregistered mail in ballots in the USA in 2020.

Might be worth buying a bidet…don’t laugh, it’s regal.

opposing opinion from the same ‘authoritative government’ sources of course.

You missed this..

Is this inherently evil? Does linking an opposing view prove endorsement of that v

No not at all.

But those who offered different, independent opinions were countered with the prevailing government view.

What sort of an argument is that?
After all that was in dispute in the first place.

Unless you have an underlying comorbidity, I wouldn’t bother with a booster for Europe.

This time last year we were off to Croatia via Amsterdam, and I promised to comment here on exactly what I saw an experienced re Covid. No amount of reading newspapers and watching curated vision bites prepared me – there was nothing to suggest Covid had even existed once we left Emirates Karen and her strict mask wearing.

Meanwhile in Australia, people were still persisting in LARPing the pandemic.

Before COVID, a rule of thumb re pandemics was they lasted two years and naturally ran out of steam.

Now, if you look at the earliest detection of COVID from retained wastewater samples in Spain, this charade has been going on for almost four and a half years.

It’s time to STOP.

Supervisor just complained the internet was playing up. I suggested her social credit score might be too low. No response.

this charade has been going on for almost four and a half years.

It’s time to STOP.

Good luck with that Dot. It’s too useful.

‘Election Variant’: Citizens Push Back Against Mask Mandates (27 Aug)

Yep, despite masks being shown over and over to be useless against Covid and positively harmful in other ways the usual suspects are clamouring from mask mandates again.

Since Australia is pretty much entirely controlled by ALP governments now (Tassie won’t stay Lib much longer) you can expect this stupid stuff to land on us too.

Rot? It was tested with the same methodology accepted for most confirmed results during 2021 here in Australia.

I’m not going to argue with people who think PCR testing isn’t valid, they are unqualified numpties.

There could have been multiple leaks from that same lab, if that was the source. It is quite plausible, look at intelligence leaks for example.

I’m looking at the horizon as the fog lifts and a huge old tree is lit by the rays of the sun breaking through.
The old dog is wandering around looking for a place to lift the leg before I lift him onto the ute for a day on the sheep. He won’t stay home and would happily drop dead on the job.

From my perspective, the fruitier parts of the “resistance” can now be looked back on with a laugh because they were mostly harmless.

Except when they did untold harm.

I’m thinking about those evil, unmentionable numbnuts in SE Queensland and what they did to those police officers and their poor neighbour.

LeBron James doesn’t get enough credit.
When the NBA was going into the bubble for that season he said he would sit out if they planned to shove that thing up his nose each day, which would have resulted in a mass walkout.
Then the saliva testing became the norm for the NBA & then most sporting teams in the world.

Remember when RAT’s were viewed by the medical establishment as useless?
That changed quickly.

People knew how to get false positives and false negatives and who knows how many people used them properly. I saw a lot of people not follow procedure at all.

I also remember the gaslighting on masks too.

Don’t wear one
Wear one
Wear one whilst standing up
Don’t wear one whilst sitting down
Wear two

It was just insanity with no medical science merit.

Quality assurance would have been the issue with RAT kits and mass PCR testing.

Retention samples leisurely tested in a uni research lab are likely to be tested properly.

Remember a lot of COVID fines got overturned in the courts eventually, at least in NSW.

I can’t see much of the state apparatus therefore being used again in the same way.

Actually we rely too much on mineral royalties.

If China goes to pot, we will find out bigly.

What is happening here is pretty simple. What you are remembering is another person’s (people’s) take on what she was doing/saying not on what was actually said and done.

Then (a different person, to be clear, and of which neither were me):

I think we can safely consign Rabz, Titsoff and KevinM to either the “Misremembered” category or the “Malicious” category on this one.
I’ve made my adjudication on each one of them on that score.

Misremembered, potentially. Malicious, probably. I think there are two other options.

One – people can turn over time, like Old Yeller. Two – people dig themselves into a persona, which is easily done online, and then become accepted – even funny.

Then, gradually, points of view are gradually infused into commentary to test their level of acceptance. Over time, these little nuggets become more common, until the generally accepted poster becomes a vehicle to directly inject wompusness into an august journal of record. Finally, unmasked, that poster crashes and burns in the manner of an MV-22 Osprey.

Exhibit A – Tailgunner.

The LNP is full of them. Career politicians who seem equally happy to be in opposition as government, as long as they are advancing personally and racking up the superannuation.

The newest member of the VIC Parliament from a few days ago is Nicole Werner.

Aussie Nic used to be Nicole Ta Ei Werner when she ran for the heavily Chinese seat of Box Hill in Melbourne. That particular identifier seems to have been shed like a snake sheds its skin for her most recent campaign.

Her qualifications ? Let’s list them: she’s a woman, she’s youngish and looks good, she’s no threat to the Fuhrer, and she’s a former youth worker which means she carries no stale old white lead in her baggage. It’s all about the look. Hugo Boss uniforms on order as ‘Tomorrow Belongs To Me’ plays softly in the background at pressers.

They think we’re idiots. Of what possible value is a youth worker to Parliament ?

It’s extraordinary that formerly respectable mags like Nature and Scientific American have degenerated to nothing more than marxist propaganda for the rotten, decaying western establishment.

You can add the Australian, the Lancet, the NEJM etc etc etc to that list….

If he still lurks and returns, I’m not going to raise the past.
If he leaves the crack pot stuff at the door.

Fair enough.

The termites have been quietly eating the house for fifty years

Quietly?

My memory is pretty darn good. Possibly helped by the fact that on many occasions I objected to accusations made against her.

What is happening here is pretty simple. What you are remembering is another person’s (people’s) take on what she was doing/saying not on what was actually said and done. Day after day, week after week, the verballing and smearing ran on in a ceaseless chain. Every comment wove “evil rosie” into it.

After a while, accusation becomes fact. It has been tried on me also.

Me too, Calli. Me too.

Rosie has copped it worst of all though, with the exception in my case of a lone but constant stalker and some mindless acolytes. Selective memories and certain levels of fixatedness certainly have occurred on the blog towards a few people, especially over Covid issues, as seen with Rosie. My memory is also pretty good. I greatly admire Rosie’s fighting spirit.

I also think this possibly brief respite from upticking has allowed a more reasoned debate to occur on personal matters, a far better airing of issues without fear of numerical howling down, a form of censorship by possibly fabricated numbers. If upticks return, I hope they are less negatively used for stirring. Dover’s call of course.

What they will try to convince everyone is that if they are touched “democracy” will fall.

“Democracy” is a mirage. What exists now is a strengthening tyranny held in place by collusion between ALL governing political parties, Govt bureaucrats , Business and the MSM. The aim is to keep us corralled, fat dumb and happy. While they loot the place over and over. And if that isn’t sufficient for their greed, they borrow in our name and our grandchildren , sending us into perpetual debt. It’s important that they don’t spook the horses. We after all are their meal ticket.

All western politics now (save for a very few spots) is a varying shade of red. With the ongoing task of convincing the punters that there is actually a range of viable political choices on which the MSM will bestow approval.

If he still lurks and returns, I’m not going to raise the past.

Nor am I. I always enjoyed Gunner’s sharing of his world. As mother of three now-adult sons and one adult grandson none of it in the drug line was entirely unfamiliar anyway.

Let alone having myself survived the sixties and seventies in a smokey toke. 🙂

now, it is a whole pile of shit-talk that has passed.

Plus one to that, Matrix. Best to move on now. Like even the very best of families, the Cat family has its spats and fights and huffs.

Everyone still turns up at the funeral, as we saw when the Old Cat died.

this idiotic retrospective that is going on right now, where motives are ascribed and misunderstandings are re-hypothecated is absurd

I don’t think so. The passage of time takes some of the emotion and hyperbole out of it.

Just because something is said “inline” does not make it true. A lie said “in context” is still a lie. Repeating it simply reinforces it in the minds of the inattentive.

If you think my comments are gibber, please scroll past.

Speaking of Cats, let’s turn to felines. I delivered Attapuss at 8.15 this morning and they were streaming into the vets, all the doggies and occasional moggies there to be knocked unconscious and have their toofie-pegs done. Receptionists very busy discussing what was and wasn’t covered by pet insurance. As we have none, I simply had to sign on the bottom line that I agreed to pay for all contingencies. Attapuss, bless him, was too preoccupied with his lack of breakfast to notice that the carry case was once more on the bed in the spare room and that closed doors everywhere limited his access to some of his favorite hiding places. Who wants his dinns? I ask enticingly. He comes up with a hopeful bound, I grab him and shove him in the case before he knows what’s happening. Later baby boy, I console him, dinns later. Into the carey-car now.

Infantilising pets with softly-spoken petting talk. Of course we do it. Just as we comfort little humans in our care who can’t tell us what’s wrong except with wails.

Some areas in construction were deeply distorted by the Covid “response”. Quick bucks to be made by some, with an inevitable crash as discretionary money dries up due to interest rate hikes and general downturn.

The New Broom was riding the crest, only to be dumped around six months ago. He was warned, it will ultimately be a valuable learning moment for him, but it’s a tough lesson.

Labor misinformation law ‘a dangerous proposition for society’
28 August 2023

Human rights and civil liberties groups have expressed serious doubts about Labor’s move to quash misinformation, claiming its proposed law threatens free speech and democratic rights. Source: Sydney Morning Herald.

There a video on Youtube of a man who has monetised ‘calming’ of animals, selling lectures on his techniques. He sits with them ‘mindfully’ and they keel over and go to sleep around him and even all over him. Amazing to see it with big animals like horses and cows. Circus horses, we know, respond to small cues, and perhaps that’s his schtick too in some of his demonstrations. Being suspicious, I wonder if some of those animals are drugged, but then I doubt it. I appreciate, as he seems to do too, that most animals, even birds as I found with my mum Currawong on the nest, are extremely responsive to human emotions, and that they will flake out with you when they are happy and petted into calmness.

How Vivek Ramaswamy, the surprise GOP debate star, made his fortune and triggered his critics

An early failure first put Ramaswamy on the press’ radar. In 2014, Roivant paid just $5 million upfront to acquire an Alzheimer’s treatment that GSK had abandoned. Roviant then turned the potential drug into a startup, Axovant, which it took through a $2.2 billion initial public offering in 2015—a record amount for a biotech company at the time. Ramaswamy made at least $38 million the year of Axovant’s IPO, according to Forbes. Two years later, however, the company’s only drug failed a clinical trial and its stock plummeted. By March of last year,, Ramaswamy had wound down his stake in Axovant (since rebranded to Sio Gene Therapies) from 78% to 25%. Axovant’s stock price now sits at 39 cents.

“He’s a very wealthy guy,” Sonnenfeld says. “The issue is that it was built by basically a version of pump and dump.”

They think we’re idiots. Of what possible value is a youth worker to Parliament ?

She’s a Pentecostal church youth worker. Which means she’s unlikely to go for long before offending woke in some way, whereupon Prosciutto will get the vapours again. I will lay in popcorn, just in case.

Thursday, I had an operation to remove a skin cancer. Just an scc, not particularly serious. I didn’t trust the anaesthetist not to kill me, nor the surgeon not to remove bits of brain. I just reckoned the comparative risks made the surgery a better bet. So I gambled and won.

I hope.

Best of British, Bogan.

If not, flowers to your bitches and hoes.

“He’s a very wealthy guy,” Sonnenfeld says. “The issue is that it was built by basically a version of pump and dump.”

monty

“Pump and dump” scams don’t take NINE years to finish off.

This is from a 2015 Forbes article.

And Ramaswamy has quickly established a track record: Roivant Sciences’ 76% stake in Axovant and its Alzheimer’s pill, code-named RVT-101, has produced a 20,000% paper return on its initial $5 million investment. Before that Ramaswamy turned an $8 million purchase of several drugs to treat the liver virus hepatitis B into a $110 million stake in Arbutus BioPharma, a 1,275% paper return. In May Roivant scooped up a drug for psychosis for $4 million from Arena Pharmaceuticals. It also recently partnered with a Duke University group with a track record for inventing rare-disease drugs.

The smearing is undeserved.

Two years later, however, the company’s only drug failed a clinical trial and its stock plummeted.

Ah Monty you’re fun. I’m not clicking your link because the url is hidden.

How could you have forgotten the five drugs that Roivant sold to the Japs for three billion? It’s a mystery.

You also forgot to mention Ramaswamy being on Soros’s payroll and his comments about Israel. Those flaws have been noted. On the other hand his crack about all the other debaters being bought with elitist money would’ve gone down quite well with the rather furious Republican voters. Oh and 10% for the big guy, oops wrong party and wrong candidate. How could I have made such a blooper?

What do you think is going on?

I can think of a few non-sinister reasons, Indolent.

– looting prevention
– hazardous materials
– dangerous damaged buildings
– possibility of finding more remains

It doesn’t take away from the obvious systemic negligence. A bit like stable doors and bolting horses.

I see that the fat fascist fool has arrived with the latest DNC/MSM talking points. Still proving his insanity by trying again and again to convert commenters here to become brain dead leftards like him.

Sad, low energy.

the plural of opinion is not fact

Lucky there’s only a singular (albeit derivative) god oracle to show the way.

Ahead of announcing the referendum date, Mr Albanese said Australia was the only former colony that had not formally recognised its Indigenous people.

He has a short memory.

On the other hand he was only aged 4 when we did it.

Gosh, those Osprey chopper-planes are goofy, dangerous-looking things.

That’s now eight fatalities during these military exercises caused by dodgy aircraft.

Woman wears same dress for 100 days – to save the environment.

Ms Higgins has repeatedly stated her willingness to give evidence in the defamation proceedings

this would be the same lady who had to take leave of previous proceedings due to imminent self-harm, or was it a case of the vapours ?

$3M and a tropical holiday certainly did the job of perking her up.

On 100 day dress woman…

Ms Stamm said she wore the same dress day after day and only washed it four times.

“Wool is so odour resistant,” she said.

Suuuure it is. One hundred days, washed four times, so once every three weeks.

I get the textiles and landfill part – commenters here know how strongly I oppose it. But cleanliness is another thing. It isn’t just about pong, it’s about parasites and dead tissue.
