I haven’t seen Chilli here since the comment last week. Not received any Posts through email to publish on any topic.
Chilli’s first comment broke the blog rules but I decided to let it in to give the chance to post freely on any topic. The blog was accused of not being free speech by someone who had never posted here, had not been blocked or banned, didn’t know the blog’s No D**kheads Policy and the rules which I have repeated many times.
Chilli, you were given the chance for free speech and you didn’t take it. One week has passed. You have not posted any comments or emailed articles for the blog. Your first and only comment showed you don’t know the blog policy which is enforced here.
You are just a troll and will not be allowed back on this blog.
I only check the blog to see that the rules are being followed and that there are no system admin problems in the back-end.
The posters who have been blocked or banned have been due to not following the rules. NO ONE has been banned for their opinions, disagreements or comments on any other issues.
We could increase our blog traffic by allowing name calling and abuse, sniping, ridiculing of blog posters. Some may find this entertaining. But I would prefer a small blog where commenters or readers can come in and have respectful interactions here.
There are some basic rules to be followed. Other than that you can post anything. There is no censorship.
If someone has an opinion that the earth is flat, they can post it. Others can disagree. Write a comment and put forward your reasons for why you do not agree with what someone posted. You can even email me an article for a blog post.
You are allowed to post different points of view. Just do it with respect. To say that we don’t have free speech is not correct.
Unless you think that free speech means you can be rude and insult, vilify or denigrate anyone connected to this blog just because you do not like or agree with what they post.
Our important rule is to respect the blog and no personal attacks or abuse toward ANY Cats. This includes Cats who are now with this blog or even the ones who posted on this blog in the past but no longer post here.
There have been over 139,000 adverse event reports for Covid vaccines in Australia. More than all other adverse event reports for all the other vaccines combined. http://OpenDAEN.info is unpacking the overwhelming Covid vaccine adverse reports data:
“A group of volunteer researchers have been working on http://OpenDAEN.info for years. Hundreds of hours have been spent to collate data, cross match it with FIO reports with information about batch numbers and cases. It’s been presented on a website making the data easier to interpret and easier to visualise.”
Adverse event reports from around the world.

On one hand, we have the Open Borders/Immigration policies that have allowed a race of people who are incompatible with western civilization to to come in and try to destroy our values and way of life.

We are in a messed up world. There are solutions but they require real leaders to implement them.
Italian officials have condemned the alleged rape of a 13-year-old Italian girl by seven Egyptian migrants in Sicily. The young girl’s boyfriend was reportedly forced to watch as two of the migrants assaulted her.
The government of Canada did not see any evidence backing up Israel’s claim that staff employed by the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) colluded with Hamas before suspending funding to the agency, CBC News has learned.
Government sources tell CBC that Israel still has not shared evidence with Canada to substantiate its claim that 12 employees of UNRWA were involved in some capacity in the October 7 attack on Israel by Hamas and the affiliated group Islamic Jihad
Norway, a top donor to UNRWA, is maintaining its funding.
Norway is giving 275 million crowns ($26 million) this year to the U.N. agency for Palestinian refugees (UNRWA) and could increase that sum if needed, it said on Friday, days after the agency warned it could cease all activity by the end of the month.
Meir Baruchin, an Israeli history teacher and anti-war activist, revealed how he was arrested in October and imprisoned in solitary confinement in November after he posted a photo online of Palestinians killed by the Israeli army on 7 October in opposition to the war on Gaza.
Meir Baruchin says: The mainstream media doesn’t really show what happens …..
MSM may not be providing the facts. But there is social media where many of us who want to know the truth are finding info. And we are passing on what we find to those who read this blog.
“I have never experienced anything like I experienced in Gaza…”
This doctor spent two weeks over Christmas working in the European Hospital in Khan Younis with the charity IDEALS, helping treat people with severely traumatic wounds.
I don’t think spending 2hrs+ watching the complete interview is worth my time.
A lot of the ‘interview’ is Putin giving his version of
Russian and European history over many centuries.
Putin thinks of Tucker as a lightweight, and puts him in his place a few times. I’m thinking Tucker thought he could get an interview similar to the Viktor Orban one. That’s not Putin’s style.
Putin thinks of Tucker as a lightweight, and puts him in his place a few times. I’m thinking Tucker thought he could get an interview similar to the Viktor Orban one. That’s not Putin’s style.
There was so much of hype about this interview, set off, no doubt, by Tucker’s marketing team, with promos and previews. The right-wingers have been in a buzz while the left were fuming. Once the interview was dropped, it was re-posted and talked about.
I only watched a few initial minutes and some short clips on some twitter posts. I was amused by the way Putin subtly let Tucker know who was really directing the interview.
Are we having a talk show or a serious conversation?
….. your basic education is in history, as far as I understand.
That was the perfect segue for Putin to take off onto his history lesson. He got what he wanted from the interview – direct access to a western audience.
The other point was when he referred to Tucker’s CIA connection.
In the Napolitano-Ritter discussion, Ritter says: I don’t think Tucker was up to the task …..
It’s 2024 & the world is being hurried fast toward the Brave New (“multipolar”) Normal. Russia is on board with Agenda 2030 & very powerful western establishment voices are now promoting Putin & his once-sidelined views.
In the face of these realities we should be asking questions about the relevance and purpose of this kind of geopolitical theatrics.
Let’s remind ourselves again that everyone is talking about the Putin interview.
So should Assange, an Australian citizen, be extradited?
Imagine another scenario. An American journalist, based in London, starts digging into, say, the Indian nuclear weapons programme. Her reports clearly breach that country’s 1923 Official Secrets Act. India wants to prosecute her and, hopefully, jail her for a long time—pour décourager les autres.
Can you imagine any circumstances in which that American journalist would be bundled on an Air India flight to Delhi? Of course not: no American government would countenance it. So why—when even the Australian prime minister, Anthony Albanese, has made it plain he thinks it is time to set him free—are we still using up precious court and jail resources to argue over how much more punishment can be inflicted on Assange?
National MS Society makes a 90-year-old volunteer step down because she wasn’t “inclusive” enough. Her crime was asking what pronouns are after she was required to start using them.
Fran was a volunteer for 60 years and her late husband had MS.
Just came across this.
In the UK, if a petition has more than 100,000 signatures, Parliament has to consider the petition for a debate.
Someone launched this petition: End the UK’s membership of the World Health Organisation
They have crossed the number so it should be debated in Parliament. Will anything happen?
I think if enough people wake up and contact their MPs and reps in both houses and keep pushing and putting on the pressure, it is possible for change to take place. After all, the pollies will be out of their jobs if they don’t get re-elected.
They need to keep getting more signatures – it has crossed 100,300 but millions would be good. So many are still asleep.
Neil Oliver says ‘truth is the kryptonite of the parasite class’, as talks about how politicians ‘cover up the truth’ to further their own interests, and he uses Julian Assange as an example of ‘holding truth to power’.
Friends, this is a moment we’ve longed for & prayed for. 25 days ago, Gus received a heart transplant by the generosity of another family — but things didn’t go as planned. Our team was persistent. Our God was kind. Gus has come so far. So… we finally get to hold him again!
May it progress well from here on.
And this sweet, brave baby grow up to be a healthy, young man.

Jeffrey Gettleman, the NYT correspondent who claimed with absolute confidence to have proven that Hamas employed “systematic sexual violence” on October 7, now says, “it’s not my role” to provide evidence for the claims he published
First time I’ve heard a self-styled journalist attempt to minimize the importance of evidence, but understandable given the NYT already canceled a podcast episode about Gettleman’s discredited article under internal pressure
Court orders Netherlands to halt delivery of F-35 jet parts to Israel
A Dutch court has ordered the government to halt the delivery of parts for F-35 fighter jets used by Israel in its bombardment of the Gaza Strip.
The order followed an appeal by human rights organisations against a lower court decision rejecting their argument that supplying the parts contributed to alleged violations of international law by Israel.
Been coming across so many gruesome images and videos. I keep telling myself they must be photo-shopped pics and Pallywood videos. They can’t be true. But when they get picked up by media commentators (like Galloway and others who have research teams), it is hard to dismiss.
The Legacy media, most of them, (right or left wing) aren’t giving us the facts.
I don’t know what are Elon Musk’s real goals? Is it Free Speech or will it turn out to be something diabolic? But for now, his twitter platform is relatively free speech and we are able to learn about the Gaza conflict from direct first person accounts.
Maoz Inon, who lost both his parents on October 7th, is calling the US and Germany to stop their unconditional financial aid to Israel. His calling “Stop sending us military aid! Send us peace aid!”
A pleasure to meet maozinon.. On 7/10 Hamas killed his parents. His response is a determination to work for peace between Jews and Palestinians, which he believes needs to grow bottom up. Reality sometimes looks grim, so we can all use inspiration from people like him.
According to Netanyahu, No better friends in the world than our Christian friends
Must be the ones in the western world who are sending the murder weapons and $$$$.
Jewish settlers continue to incite and attack Christian clergy (in this case on Abbott Nicodemus in the old city of Jerusalem). Hate-speech has become the norm for these colonisers that enjoy impunity by the Israeli right-wing government.
My wildly unpopular opinion: If Trump or Biden actually cared about America they would step aside for the next generation.
The replies indicate that her opinion is not wildly unpopular.
– Your opinion is (obviously) not wildly unpopular.
– You mean your wildly ACCURATE opinion?
– And as a logical corollary, if the populous actually cared about America, they would abstain from voting either.
– Agreed. These are our best two options?
I could swing by my local grocery store and probably get two more qualified candidates and both would be under 50.
– Wildly accurate, for sure
– Yes! Honestly, how could either of them say “Yeah, my 1st term was so awesome, the country needs 4 more years of this.
– Judging by the number of likes you got on this tweet, it can’t be THAT unpopular of an opinion.
– I think it is actually a wildly popular opinion!
– Unpopular opinion? That’s the most commonsense thing ever
– I’m willing to bet that opinion is quite popular.
– I actually think it’s a POPULAR opinion
– Is it wildly unpopular?? I feel like most normies feel the same.

Most times when I am here on the blog I am multi-tasking – reading/watching something on the internet. If I come across something that may be of interest to the blog, I stop, copy-paste and post it here.
Last month, we had an ‘incident’ on this blog. My comments appeared to aggravate one other commenter. Reflecting on it, I decided to take a break away from the Catallaxy site and let others have the floor to post whatever they wanted to.
As it is, I have limited free time. I carried on with my reading of other internet sites and learning new info without the interruption of moving back and forth to the blog to post comments.
When I checked the blog 3 days later, I found the grand total of 6 comments during my break away.
John Smith: 1
mh: 5.
My guess is John Smith tried to keep the posting going and mh tried to continue, then gave up. It can be hard to be the lone poster on a blog. (I know as I face that regularly, but I just post what I come across and leave it for those who want to read.)
Rather than let the blog fall apart, I got back in and restarted my posting.
2/
A blog should not depend on a few posters to keep it going. It needs a variety of voices and opinions. I know there are some who have said that they would like to take part in the blog but don’t know what to post.
Years ago, on Sinc’s blog, I was in a similar situation. I wanted to take part but was wary about getting in and unsure if I would be able to participate. Anyway, one day, I dipped my toe in. Then, slowly, I continued with more toes until I was both feet in and posting comments off and on.
Fast forward to today. I have posted thousands of comments that it is now so easy to do. I have so much to post but not enough time. I like to keep learning, so my method while on the blog has been this:
If there’s any kind of feedback posted by someone that I could learn from, I take it up gladly. If I’ve posted something that has errors, I am pleased if someone can update it with the correct info. I am happy to discuss, debate or answer genuine questions.
When it comes to the d..kheads, I just ignore and scroll past.
It works very well.
I believe that there are many intelligent readers and they can read comments and make up their minds.
