Lockdowns good, freedom bad
I see that cases reached a new record or something in NSW today and Victorian cases continue to defy Daniel Andrews. Clearly the lockdowns are working. Case numbers would be ever so much higher without lockdowns. Rising cases show that lockdowns work because they would be higher without them; just as falling cases some months…

Guest Post: C.L. – Afghanistan: Perversity, Culpability and Just Deserts
AS nobody ever said, “when we win the war in Afghanistan…” Think about it. At no time in the last 20 years did any ‘leader’ of the defunct Coalition of the Willing – political, military or otherwise – ever speak of victory. Nor did they encourage their publics to believe victory was even desirable. It…

How will this Covid business ever end?
I’m not sure which is more unreal, the portrayal of Australia as a dystopian nightmare or local presenters not seeing why it looks that way to everyone else. There is this as well which you might also have a read of: Fox News host Tucker Carlson slams Australia’s lockdown ‘lunacy’. The Carlson presentation is also shown…

There are still two sides to the debate over vaxxination
The most amazing part about the vaxxines to me is how trusting most people are about governments. I appreciate how difficult it is to get contrary information in the wave of covid terror-tactics that have been applied for the last year and a half, but even so, there are other sources of information that might…

An unvaccinated doctor is reportedly lying to her bosses about having had the vaccine
What should one make of this: ‘No need to rush’: Senator warns of FDA’s shortcuts to full approval of COVID-19 vaccine. Sen. Ron Johnson called out the Biden administration’s health agencies Sunday for shortcutting the usual safety reviews in a rush to give final approval to COVID-19 vaccines, including failing to account for thousands of deaths…

The US government seems to be run on behalf of the Chinese
Why does no one ever mention the possible role of the Chinese government in the Biden administration? Why are things like this no longer ever brought up: Hunter Biden and China: A timeline of his business ties to the Far East? Joe Biden claims he never spoke with Hunter about his dealings, and never profited…

Self Defence? The Most Violent in 20 Years?
Now admittedly, I’m not overly experienced in this ‘suppression of your citizens’ gig. The only time I’ve stood the line was when a mass of humanity was coming at us with raised Machetes, in a foreign country*. ‘Peppering’ my own citizens for wielding freshly emblazoned placards, is not my speciality. However, I do know a…
