  • Lockdowns our fault, apparently

    “The reality is that we can’t live in lockdown forever. We have to live with Covid and that means getting vaccinated as quickly as possible.” Reportedly, said Josh Frydenberg, taking aim on Monday at Australians who refuse to get the jab. Of course, name most every politician and their media cheerleaders from the left or…

  • “Ivermectin is an effective treatment for COVID-19.”

    In regard to Ivermectin, you really need to read this: Ivermectin for COVID-19: real-time meta analysis of 63 studies. Very long, very detailed, but this was the bottom line. “Ivermectin is an effective treatment for COVID-19.” Anyone who says anything else is [you tell me].

  • Mater’s Musings #18: More Perspective

    2020 2017 Let’s put that side by side to make it as clear as we can (noting the slight variation of the 0-44 age bracket): Yes, yes, I know – ‘But…but…but the lockdowns prevented greater deaths!’. How do we know it wouldn’t have just dwindled away like every other one before it, just like the…

  • They don’t seem to be very worried about covid spreading any more

    VIRGINIA TECH.ENTER SANDMAN. ABSOLUTE CHILLS. @HokiesFB pic.twitter.com/jRnd97Xs1R — ACC Network (@accnetwork) September 3, 2021 They’re not even wearing masks. More here, some of it even very rude: VIDEOS: Multiple Stadiums Break Into ‘F**k Joe Biden’ Chants At NCAA Division 1 Football Games.

  • Wind power fails in SA & Victoria

    SA took the lead in the green power race, blowing up their last two coal stations and achieving accolades as a “clean energy superpower”. Victoria caught up quickly to take the lead with by far the most installed capacity. The numbers are changing all the time but these are quite recent figures for the installed…

  • Matthew Guy for Victorian Leader of the Opposition

    And after that, for Premier. So here’s some positive news: Matthew Guy launching leadership coup to oust Michael O’Brien.  FORMER opposition leader Matthew Guy will launch a sensational bid to overthrow Liberal leader Michael O’Brien. Mr Guy’s camp was trying to convince Mr O’Brien to stand down over recent days but will now seek a…

  • Mater’s Musings #17: Resistance to Interrogation

    Despite what you see in the movies, modern methods of interrogation are more about psychology and less about violence and pain. It aims to maximise the ‘shock of capture’ (which is always an unbalancing experience), and build on that through complete disorientation and disconnection from reality. This they do in order for you to do…

  • Guest Post: MatrixTransform – Who’s Ya Daddy?

    A room full of media advisers and image management consultants and that idiotic Happy Father’s Day message is what Andrews comes out with? Listen to this Mong dress up neglect as care. My bio-father still lives on his own. His heating is broken, and I have to bend all the rules to organise and install…

  • Rights into the Covid dustbin

    What does New York Mayor Bill De Blasio have in common with most right-of-centre commentators on, say, Rupert Murdoch’s Sky News Australia. To be fair, most everything is probably not the correct answer. However, what they do have in common is an appetite to relegate our inalienable or God-given rights to the category of privileges…

  • Guest post: Speedbox – Could a cyber-attack trigger war

    With both state and non-state actors becoming more adept at carrying out attacks in the cyber realm, the threat to global security and economy will continue to grow.  This raises the possibility that cyber-attacks could spark an actual conflict outside of the cyber sphere. In just the first six months of this year, the severity…
