    I left Dover’s Cat because there were those supporting War Crimes who’s comments weren’t deleted, unlike the comments of others who ‘offended’ them!

    Well, this may explain why Knuckle Dragger et al have NO PROBLEM with ADVOCATING WAR CRIMES, and why Dover did NOT delete their Pro-War Crime comments –

    “From the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service – Ukraine has informed Britain that it does NOT, that it does NOT intend to comply with the Geneva Convention on the treatment of Russian Prisoners of Warthe West is not only aware of Kiev’s gross violations of International Humanitarian Law but it is also trying to help it avoid responsibility.”

    German Chemical Giant Warns Of “Total Collapse” If Russian Gas Supply Cut

    CEO of Germany’s multinational BASF SE, the world’s largest chemical producer, has warned that curbing or cutting off energy imports from Russia would bring into doubt the continued existence of small and medium-sized energy companies, and further would likely spiral Germany into its most “catastrophic” economic crisis going back to the end of World War 2.

    He warned further in the interview that many Germans are currently greatly underestimating the consequences of what Russia shutting off the taps would mean… nothing less than a historic crisis:

    The New England Journal Of Medicine, one of the most prestigious medical journals conducted a trial on the efficacy of ivermectin for Covid patients. Their conclusion:

    We did not find a significantly or clinically meaningful lower risk of medical admission to a hospital or prolonged emergency department observation (primary composite outcome) with ivermectin administered for 3 days at a dose of 400 μg per kilogram per day than with placebo. We found no important effects of treatment with ivermectin on the secondary outcomes.

    The evidence supporting the role of ivermectin in the treatment of Covid-19 is inconsistent.

    It looks like the “trial” was designed to discredit ivermectin.
    It involved patients who already had Covid for 7 days and at least one risk factor. But ivermectin was given for only 3 days.

    But that is not the correct protocol. Ivermectin should be given in the early stages. There are other supplements, including Zinc, which need to be given. There may be other medicines which need to be added. The treatment needs to be continued until full recovery takes place.

    George Christensen:

    “Tuesday was Budget Day in Canberra.
    I just happened to be grabbing lunch in the parliamentary cafeteria. (Nothing fancy. Just pork with fried rice and a coffee). As I was waiting for my coffee, I cast my eyes around the cafeteria. The place was packed. I felt like yelling out “WHY ARE YOU ALL HERE?” but I already knew why.
    Why, you ask? Well, Tuesday was Budget Day in Canberra. That’s why.
    Rent-seekers from across the nation had descended on Canberra for the annual show we call the Federal Budget. From the welfare lobby through to the bigwigs from our banking cartel, they were all there… to get their hands on your money.
    If you’ve ever wondered why you pay so much in tax, this is the reason.
    Too many non-profits and private corporations now think they are entitled to get their hands on your tax dollars.
    In my maiden speech to the House of Representatives in 2010, I railed against taxation, saying:
    There are only a few things more detestable to me than someone mooching directly off your income, even if it’s the State and its supposedly for the common good. Income tax should go.
    I revisited that theme in my valedictory speech, when I said:
    Taxation is theft. The more money we allow working Australians to keep in their pockets, the better.
    Given how much waste and rent-seeking I have seen over the past 11 years I’ve been in parliament, I can tell you that your money is better in your pockets than in government coffers or in the hands of whomever they decide to dole out your hard-earned to.
    If you want an example of the kind of trash that your taxes get spent on, look no further than the recent round of arts grants. The Daily Telegraph reported:
    More than $10 million of taxpayer funds have been handed out in the latest round of government art grants – but questions have been raised about why “political activists masquerading as artists” are being handed so much cash.
    The list of some of the eyebrow raising projects include a performance artist who ends up “getting naked and putting something up her butt” while “popping nangs” during performances and a filmmaker who includes splices of gay amateur pornography.
    The whole arts grants fiasco rightly led Christian activist Lyle Shelton to bemoan the “Morrison Government’s lack of will and courage to fight the culture wars” with the “latest splash of taxpayer money to LGBTIQA+ sexual and other radicals.”
    Thankfully, the Federal Budget gives some of our own money back to us in the form of increasing the tax offset for low and middle income workers to $1,500 this year and cutting the fuel tax in half for six months, reducing the price at the bowsers by 22 cents a litre.
    I say again: that money is better in your pocket than in the coffers of government.”

    Just so you know.
    The reason I haven’t posted here much is two fold.
    One , there are plenty here that share my point of view on things, and they have it well covered…and are often way more succinct then I am ( I know, surprising isn’t it).
    Also, I don’t know about you guys but it often takes five minutes or so after I’ve posted a comment for it to appear, which I’ll admit, is a bit frustrating.
    I read what is written here and people have the situation well in hand.
    However there is a growing and ever expanding group think denialism going on over at Dover’s…that’s the way I see it.
    It’s become a place for those that wish to move on as if nothing has happened BUT EVEN WORSE that deny it’s still happening and it’s only just started.
    For two years I (and a few others like two sticks) have been the arseholes that won’t let sleeping dogs lie.
    But the facts are, the dogs are not sleeping.

    This morning Dover deleted posts for the first time from those against me and doing their usual to bait me……he’s had enough.
    For right or for wrong that is Dover’s choice, but there is no real debate about the real issues we face to be had there. That’s why the number of posts have dropped through the floor per hour and why Freedom Australia’s rates have shot skyward, although that’s easy to do when there was nearly no one there before.
    Freedom Australia is a bulletin board set up and therefore people like the little gang of sneerers can never dominate.

    Very humorous get on Albo there mh.
    A lengthy article in yesterday’s Hun in relation to ‘sportswashing’. Written by Julian Linden and Michael Warner, allow me to reproduce here:

    ‘Australian sport has been caught in the crossfire of the sporting world’s messy break up from Vladimir Putin.
    While sports have been shamed into cutting ties with Russia after the invasion of Ukraine, they’re also been accused of hypocrisy for continuing to accept massive sums or sponsorship money from other countries accused of human rights abuses.
    Commonly known as “sportswashing”, it is a highly deceptive, but well established practice that was pioneered a century ago but has since morphed into a multi-billion dollar global industry that appears to have infiltrated sporting bodies all over the globe, including Australia.
    Australia has been identified by human rights groups as one of the biggest beneficiaries of a practice that is under fresh scrutiny after political leaders boycotted the Beijing Winter Olympics in protest at China’s alleged genocide against the Uyghur population.
    The game is up for Putin with sporting bodies all declaring him persona non grata, but the focus has now shifted to sporting bodies taking cash from other regimes, particularly China, Saudi Arabia, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates.
    The backlash from the sports world has been swift, with Russia banned from major events including the Paralympics, the final qualifying stages of this year’s FIFA World Cup and dozens of world championships including athletics, swimming and figure-skating.
    Major events that were scheduled to take place in Russia, including the Champions League final, the Sochi Formula 1 Grand Prix and the world swimming championships, have been cancelled or relocated after sporting bodies United against the Russian dictator.
    “This is such a game-changer,” said Sebastian Coe, the British president of world athletics, “And yes it will set precedents.”
    It will need to because while the sports world is patting itself on the back for finally standing up to Putin, the unscrupulous practise continues mostly unchallenged – especially in Australia.
    Quick to point the finger at other countries for double standards, Australian sports have been accused of turning a blind eye when it suits them by sticking out their hands when there’s free cash on offer.
    Ever since they were forced to kick the tobacco habit, Australian sports have been looking for alternative revenue streams, which has led to an increasing number of sponsorship deals with businesses from countries that flagrantly want to improve their own image through sport.’

    There is more which I will post here but it’s fascinating reading

    ‘For countries accused of human rights abuses, hosting major sporting events, or owning and sponsoring teams and tournaments, is an easy way to direct attention away from the alleged brutality or their leaders.
    Putin is the gold standard, having given away truckloads of roubles for the opportunity to host the world’s biggest events to Russia, including the 2014 Winter Olympics and the 2018 FIFA World Cup. But there are plenty of other autocrats shopping around for sporting bodies willing to overlook alleged abuses if it helps their bottom line – and there’s no shortage of willing customers.
    Numerous major Australian sporting bodies, teams and individuals have sponsorship deals with businesses located in countries that are considered by many as a among the world’s worst human rights abusers.
    And while there’s no suggestions any Australian sporting organisations support the abuses, human rights groups say they need to take a closer look at where the money is coming from because some of their sponsors are based in hardline states accused of everything from human rights abuses to war crimes, genocide to crimes against humanity.
    Reverend Tim Costello, the former chief executive of World Vision Australia, told News Corp that choosing corporate partners in sport was not just a financial question, it was also a moral issue.
    “Sporting bodies have a licence of trust with the community,” Costello said. “But when they abuse that licence… the licence is broken.”
    Sportswashing has become widespread in Australia with many major sporting bodies having some linked with one of those countries.’

    ‘Tennis Australia’s increasingly cosy relationship with mainland Chinese companies became a hot talking point during this year’s tournament when spectators were kicked out for wearing T-shirts emblazoned with “Where is Peng Shuai?” slogans.
    But Tennis Australia is hardly alone.
    The Australian horse racing industry has long benefited from the deep pockets of Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid al-Maktoum, who has been accused, among other things, of kidnapping his own daughter’s after they tried to flee his reign.
    It’s easy to see why sports are reluctant to cut ties because the amount of money on offer can be eye-watering.
    Court documents that were made public last year revealed that the Dubai leader had pumped more than $1.2 billion into Australian racing through his Godolphin empire, creating hundreds of jobs.
    Dubai’s national airline carrier Emirates is a former sponsor of the Melbourne Cup and still retains an interest in other events and teams in Australia, including the Australian Open and Collingwood Football Club, which Emirates boasts “brings us front and centre of the action at the Melbourne Cricket Ground.”
    The Sydney Swans are sponsored by Qatar Airways.
    The gas-rich Persian Gulf state has been heavily criticised by human rights groups for the harsh punishments at influence on the LGBT community as well as accusations it uses Asian workers as slaves.
    A report released last year claimed more than 6500 foreign workers have died in Qatar since the country was controversially chosen to host the 2022 FIFA World Cup.
    Etihad, the airline carrier based in Abu Dhabi, another state that oppresses freedoms, especially of women, also has deep ties with Australian sport, previously holding the naming rights for the AFL Docklands Stadium, while Saudi Arabia is also starting to swing into action.
    The Australian professional cycling team GreenEDGE last year announced a sponsorship deal with an arm of the Saudi Arabia government, which – like Putin – is also waging war against it’s neighbour, in this case Yemen.
    Saudi Arabia has a growing list of gruesome human rights abuses.
    In 2018, Saudi agents murdered the US journalist Jamal Khashoggi inside it’s Istanbul Embassy, dismembering his corpse with a bone saw. Earlier this month the Saudi government beheaded 81 people in a single day.’

    Adventures with Purpose:

    April 01, 2022, AWP began our search for 26-year-old Dedrick Smith who was last seen in Winston-Salem, North Carolina on October 3, 2006, and by late afternoon, the Adventures With Purpose team located Dedrick’s car in just 14′ of water.

    The next morning, April 2nd, AWP working alongside local law enforcement, Dedrick’s car containing human remains, was recovered.

    Dedrick was last seen at his girlfriend’s home when she went out in the middle of the night to get food, and when she returned he was gone.

    He changed his shirt and left his girlfriend’s house on Booker Street, driving his bright blue/turquoise 1993 Pontiac Grand Am with the North Carolina license plate number NYB3645, which had never been spotted again, until today, April 1st, 2022. (This is not an April Fools Joke)

    There were reported sightings of him in the local area after his disappearance, but none of these were confirmed. His vehicle, which contained several extra changes of clothes, was never located.

    Smith maintained daily contact with his loved ones prior to his disappearance, and he had promised his mother he’d visit her house on October 4, but none of his family and friends have heard from him since he went missing.

    At this moment we want to take a moment to express our sympathies to Dedrick’s family as they navigate this tragic outcome to a nightmare that has lasted 15 years.

    We are honored to be in this position to help families and it is because of you, our supporters, that this is possible.

    Take the time today to hug your loved ones a little tighter and cherish the moments you have.

    An edited episode of our searching for Dedrick and this case will be released in a few weeks as well as our podcast investigation episode.

    A full autopsy will need to be conducted before confirmation can be made that Dedrick has been brought home.

    Sky News:

    Sky News host Rita Panahi says Victoria Police wants Australians to “forget” about recent history after two years of “overreach and selective policing”.

    “The Victoria Police hierarchy want to rebuild their brand,” she said.

    “Victoria Police command wants you to forget about what they’ve been up to for the past couple of years, you know harassing old women on park benches, arresting pregnant women in their kitchens for Facebook posts, enforcing playground bans on children and their brutal response to anti-lockdown protesters.

    “Yes, please forget all that and remember they are on our side.”

    Ms Panahi said Victoria Police’s public image was “badly damaged” and as long as the likes of Assistant Commissioner Luke Cornelius hold key positions, who she compared to Chief Wiggum, that would not change.

    “Police command needs a cleanout starting with Assistant Commissioner Luke Cornelius,” she said.

    The benefits gained from having a good, strong leader in charge.
    DeSantis has held firm and signed that Florida bill.
    This is good for parents and their school kids.

    And queertys are giving up teaching because they won’t be able to carry out their agenda. Excellent outcome all around.

    LGBTQ educators fear fallout from new school law

    Following the enactment of what critics call the “Don’t Say Gay” law, some LGBTQ teachers have quit the professional altogether.

    NYT: U.S. Intel Claiming Putin ‘Misinformed’ on War is Part of ‘Information Warfare’ Campaign

    From The New York Times:
    The unveiling of U.S. intelligence that Putin has been misinformed is part of a monthslong U.S. campaign.

    The NYT ran with the propaganda story earlier in the day but just threw in a few qualifiers so they could absolve themselves of responsibility for pushing the psy-op on their readers (many of whom literally pay to be brainwashed with this crap):

    White House Refuses to Rule out Joe Biden Pardon for Hunter Biden

    The White House refused to rule out President Joe Biden issuing a presidential pardon for his son Hunter Biden or for his brother James Biden as federal investigations continue over their foreign business dealings.

    Biden didn’t know the dealings his son was involved in? Is he being investigated?

    The MSM and social media who were responsible for suppressing this story before the US Election need to be investigated, too.
