    Passing Observations 117
    15TH JULY 2022

    This is a long standing series of small items which have caught my eye or mind and which seem relevant, startling, amusing or all three. Occasionally, items which appear here may return as a longer piece. Mostly they will not.

    Have you noticed how whenever a celebrity fails a PCR test, the mainstream media immediately classifies them as having covid-19? We’ve gone backwards two years and the assumption again is that a positive test means that you have covid-19. It happened recently to Mick Jagger. And it happened at Wimbledon.

    Have you noticed that local councils in England are busy closing public loos? This destroys local businesses and wrecks tourism. The effect is particularly potent in seaside towns which rely heavily on visitors in the summertime. I know one small town which has been virtually destroyed by the closure of public loos in a parking area which used to be popular with coach parties. (The usual trick is to leave the loos un-cleaned for a month and then close them for health and safety reasons.) The result is that English holiday resorts are not dying – they are being murdered. The murder is helped, of course, by the fact that car park charges are rising rapidly. Oh, and remember those rows of deck chairs on sea fronts? Well they are now no more. Health and safety loonies think that they could collapse and damage someone’s handbag strap.

    Knighthoods and other honours seem, these days, to be handed out for those who have proved themselves able to make large sums of money for themselves while, at the same time, minimising their tax liabilities. Oddly enough, it helps if the person being honoured has made a large donation to the ruling political party.

    The Glastonbury Shindig now seems to be the official Party Conference for the Woke Party.

    Check out the most fervent anti-Brexit campaigners. And then check out a list of enthusiastic Bilderbergers.

    Toyota built an electric car. Unfortunately, the wheels tend to fall off – just like the cars which the clowns drove when circuses were allowed. Even for an electric car this is considered a disadvantage. Mind you, anyone daft enough to buy an electric car deserves what they get. The police bought some of them and then found that the batteries ran out as they were chasing the bad guys.

    The UN secretary general says that new graduates should not work for climate wrecking companies – he defines these as fossil fuel developers. The UN secretary general should go back to his typing and shorthand and leave the serious stuff to the grown-ups.

    The odd thing about lefty lefty liberal, woke luvvies is that they love useless and outmoded British institutions such as the BBC and the NHS.

    Staff at the Czech owned company which won the next 10 year licence to run Britain’s National Lottery are big winners. The pay of 11 board members and key managers rose by 39% in 2021.

    ‘There is but one truth for all – one life for each to give. Who stands if freedom fall?’ – Kipling.

    The woke nutters are still screaming about log fires. They want them all stopped immediately. I am not aware of any evidence (scientific or anecdotal) that anyone has died as a result of sitting beside a log fire. But I know lots of people (myself included) who obtain great relief from sitting by a roaring fire. Looking into the flames is far more entertaining than anything available on the television. So I intend to sit by my log fire until I too am ashes.

    The BBC reneged on its deal to allow 75-year-olds to watch TV without paying a licence fee. But the BBC has found enough money to award its staff a huge pay rise. The ignorant, treacherous, dim-witted bastards working for the BBC are getting a 5.34% increase. And dim-witted presenters are receiving huge salaries which I suspect no one in the independent sector would pay them.

    ‘We live in a society full of preventable disorders, preventable diseases and preventable pain, of harshness and stupid unpremeditated cruelties.’ – H.G.Wells

    Patients waiting for an operation should ask their GP to refer them to a private surgeon working in a private hospital. UK citizens are entitled to operations in a number of private hospitals. You just need to ask your GP to refer you.

    More parents need to be aware that the majority of schools are now run by left wing lunatics who are filling children with Great Reset propaganda. Parents need a close eye on the rubbish their children are taught.

    Is Germany now the most corrupt country in the world? A German insurance giant called Allianz has agreed to pay $6 billion in fines. Volkswagen systematically cheated on emissions standards for its cars. Deutsche Bank was fined $7 billion in the US.

    Around 90% of climate change nutters are unemployed. The rest are teachers and social workers. Odd then the climate change protests are secretly financed by billionaires. You’d think they’d notice, wouldn’t you?

    Boris Johnson seems more selfish, more self-interested, more intrinsically corrupt than any previous British politician. (And given the number of politicians who have ended up in prison that’s quite an achievement.) The bottom line, of course, is that Johnson probably appears that way because he is that way.

    Our special correspondent in Germany has written to tell us what is happening over there. First, in some areas of Germany, because of the shortage of heating fuel, hot water is only available at certain times of day. Second, during the coming winter people will be housed in large halls to cut heating costs. Third, the cost of a one year dog licence is now 60 euros. The fee for a second dog is 90 euros. The fee for a third dog is 120 euros. And additional dogs each require another fee of 120 euros. These plans reek of social credit and the Great Reset.

    Just a reminder: as I reported on 23rd June, the Chief executive of jab maker BioNTech has told health watchdogs that they have to decide soon whether or not to approve the new covid jabs for the most recent strains of the coronavirus – without needing clinical data. WITHOUT NEEDING CLINICAL DATA! They now want to jab people with the stuff without testing it at all.

    Truths the mainstream media need to know
    15TH JULY 2022

    The mainstream media is now in the control of children. They may look 25-35 years old but in mind and spirit they are slightly dim children.

    Today’s reporters and editors were hired as cheap replacements for the proper journalists who were fired or retired just before the fake pandemic was arranged.

    The new ‘journalists’ are obedient to the point of being slavish. They are full of the borrowed opinions with which they have been fed. They like to think of themselves as left wing, slightly revolutionary and very liberal. In reality they are establishment dogs, through and through – serving a communist power group without quite knowing what they are doing.

    It isn’t widely known but when new ‘journalists’ are being recruited just one question is asked: ‘Can you speak, apparently knowledgeably, on subjects about which you know absolutely nothing?’ This is known as the ‘BBC’ test. Those who answer ‘yes’ to this question are instantly hired.

    Television stations keep a few old farts on as newsreaders (to make us think that there is some gravitas behind the news) but behind the scenes the reporters and editors have all the wisdom and integrity of horse flies.

    Here are eight crucial facts which journalists at the BBC, Sky, ITV, GMTV and all the radio stations and mainstream print media need to know:

    First, in March 2020 the government’s own advisors officially downgraded covid to the level of the flu. The evidence is on my website. Covid-19 was not a plague. It was and is no more than an over-promoted version of the flu. This fact is rather proved by the fact that the flu disappeared in 2020 and was not seen. There was no pandemic. That is the official position on covid by the way. Covid was no more deadly than the flu. As I pointed out in my first video ‘The coronavirus hoax’, in March 2020, up to 650,000 people can die in an annual six month flu season. That’s a WHO figure.

    Second, there is massive confusion among doctors about the PCR test – either through unforgiveable malice or unforgiveable ignorance. Journalists, politicians and doctors assume that anyone with a positive PCR test has covid-19. But the PCR test is utterly unreliable as and for that reason the test has officially been withdrawn in the US. My video entitled ‘This needs to be stopped now’, which was dated 20th May this year, contains quotes from just a few of the scientific papers showing that the test has killed people and is utterly pointless.

    Third, the death totals in the UK during 2020 and 2021 were average. Lots of doctors think there were many extra deaths during those years. If they bothered to look at the official statistics they would see that those were average years for deaths. There was no epidemic or pandemic. The same is true of other countries. Again take a look at my website and videos for the figures.

    Fourth, the number of alleged deaths was massively increased by counting as deaths people who died ‘with’ covid instead of dying ‘of’ covid. If you were knocked down by a bus, and then tested positive for covid, and died within 60 days then you officially died of covid. That was a clumsy fraud and if a cheap con man tried a trick like that he’d be locked up.

    Fifth, the lockdowns were never useful or necessary. In May 2020 I warned that the lockdowns would kill far more people than covid. The media would now find it difficult to find a sane, independent doctor to disagree with that claim.

    Sixth, in early 2020 the medical advisors in the UK and US agreed that masks were dangerous and useless and that those who wore them were virtue signalling. They were right, of course. I can provide scores of scientific papers proving the danger of the public wearing masks.

    Seventh, thousands of elderly patients were killed in care homes by egregious medical practices which were officially authorised.

    Eighth, the closure of hospital departments was entirely unnecessary. The long waiting lists for screening tests and treatment will result in millions of unnecessary deaths.

    Sadly, the evidence shows that there doesn’t seem to be a mainstream journalist in the world who knows these simple truths.

    ‘Frustrated’ young women are trying to get sterilized after overturning of Roe

    Zaria Grey, 28, wants to get sterilized even though their partner already has had a vasectomy.

    Grey (who uses they/them pronouns) lives in Columbus, Ohio with Lukas Killian, 27. Growing up as the eldest of five siblings living below the poverty line, Grey knew they did not want children from an early age.

    The pharmacy technician told The Post that reading the Roe draft leak in May, and then hearing the official court decision “definitely added more pressure” on getting sterilized, as Ohio had a trigger law in place.

    “I want to take care of my own birth control,” Grey said. “It’s definitely put a lot of fear in my heart that I have absolutely no control over my future. Even less on my body, especially being a Black woman living in America.”

    kaysee, the shredding of grammar by the they/them abomination is not just offensive to those who value clear prose.

    Reading stories about crimes, it can be very difficult to work out who did what to whom. TheirABC is a prime culprit. It can be difficult, perhaps impossible, to determine whether there were multiple victims or offenders. Add to that the general illiteracy pervading the media, and the waters are further muddied.

    I fail to see how making communication less accurate improves society.

    When I were a young gel, there would have been at least 20 pubs within a few blocks of the Sydney Town Hall. They had names like The Star, The Criterion, The Prince of Wales, The King George, The Kings Head (for balance), not to mention the ubiquitous Railway Hotel.

    There were pubs inhabited by journos (e.g. The Star), by coppers, by printers, by wharfies and others who did not work 9-5.

    🐭

    It was a cold, dark winter’s night. Outside, it was a raging blizzard.

    The ringing phone woke the doctor from his sleep. He answered the phone. It was the wife of one of his patients. Her husband was ill and needed the doctor. The doctor lay back in bed, reluctant to get out in the wild weather. His wife reminded him of his Hippocratic oath.

    The doctor got out of bed, pulled on some warm clothes, and made his way down the stairs to the garage. There was a thick blanket of snow in the driveway. He got out the snow plow and cleared out the snow.

    Then he got into his car and drove to the patient’s house, several miles away. Due to the snow and wind, the driving was really difficult. A mile off from the patient’s house, he reached a road that was completely blocked with snow and fallen trees. He got out of the car, pulled out his bag, and walked through the freezing cold to the patient’s house.

    Several hours later, he returned home. As he got out of his soggy clothes, his wife enquired as to the health of his patient.

    Said the doctor, “I examined him thoroughly. When I realised there was nothing I could do for him, I asked his wife to call all their near and loved ones to the patient’s bedside.”

    “Good grief!” said the wife. “The patient must be at death’s door.”

    “No,” said the doctor, getting into bed. “There was absolutely nothing the matter with him.”

    “Why, then,” said his wife, “did you ask the patient’s wife to call his family and relatives.”

    “Because,” said the doctor, lying back in bed, “I didn’t want to be the only sucker to be called out on a night like this.”

    ……..

    Bali tourists need to be herded into quarantine

    With Foot and Mouth Disease in Bali, here is an opportunity to use the white elephant quarantine hubs that Labor wanted so badly. If you can slam Australian borders shut for a disease we already had, you can justify stricter controls for a highly-contagious virus wearing an $80 billion price tag that will destroy our agriculture, supply chains and Labor’s green power dream.

    Labor’s appetite for quarantine has diminished in Government, where
    they prefer flying into Foot and Mouth Disease-struck tourist destinations rather than staying in Australia to enact emergency biosecurity controls. FMD is a brutal way for any lamb or calf to die. Painfully foaming at the mouth, unable to move, eat or drink.

    Even those philosophical antifarming, glue-yourself-to-a-road types
    would find it challenging to embrace the shocking mass slaughter,
    shooting and burning of infected or at-risk herds.

    The virus lives in soil for 48 hours, longer in the cold, and can be spread by wind, on clothes, hair, shoes and skin, especially inside the nose and throat. There are nearly 300 flights a week from Denpasar to Australia – it’s two-and-a-half hours to Darwin, five-and-a-half to Brisbane, and fourand-a-half to Cairns. From any city, travellers could contaminate farming communities within an hour or two of landing.

    Everyone back from Bali should get a bonus 28 hours in the brand new Wellcamp quarantine station, which the Queensland Labor State
    Government opened just in time for Covid quarantine measures to end.

    As the $200 million purpose-built station sits empty, a catastrophic biosecurity risk is being addressed on flights back from Bali with a bureaucrat reading out scripts and handing out flyers to planes of travellers wearing headphones and watching iPads.

    In Opposition, Agriculture Minister Murray Watt was among the keenest proponent of purpose built quarantine facilities for Covid, repeatedly calling for dedicated Covid quarantine facilities to be built in every state and attacking the Covid vaccine rollout at every chance.

    With FMD on our doorstep, instead of enacting emergency biosecurity
    measures, he flew to Bali himself to be hosted by the Indonesian
    Ambassador.

    Bali and Jakarta have hosted more government ministers than any
    Australian regional city since mid- June, with at least six visiting on four different occasions and a swag of them planning to return to Bali in November for the G20.

    While he and Foreign Minister Penny Wong announced $1.5 million for
    vaccines in Indonesia, no landholder has any word from the Government on a live vaccination program at home. Instead, they are bracing themselves for a national stock standstill, where no animal or truck can move, and milk gets tipped down the drain.

    Because FMD in organic matter may live from weeks to months, nothing will be allowed to move in and out of farms around infected sites under emergency Aus Vet plans. Not people. Not dogs. Not milk. Not wool. Not trucks.

    Climate Change Minister Chris Bowen and Energy Minister Matt Kean
    should be the biggest cheerleaders of urgent biosecurity controls because Animal Health Australia’s emergency plans to stamp out FMD spell the end of Albanese’s Re-energising Australia plan before it even starts.

    No truck will be allowed to move from farm to farm for “business as
    usual”, stopping solar plants, wind towers and transformers from being built. Rampant FMD will be catastrophic for Australia and every country that relies on our meat, medicine, baby formula, dairy, wool and leather.

    So far, the Albanese Government’s biosecurity response has been a new dog in Darwin and Cairns. Senator Watt admits they “aren’t so much about sniffing soil or sniffing footwear but particularly picking up animal products”.

    Biosecurity officers read out a special message focused on foot and mouth disease. “Certain numbers of planes” coming back from Indonesia every single passenger will be taken away or asked questions and then “potentially referred off for screening”.

    He says passport profiling tries to “identify people who may have been in contact with the virus and then having those discussions and potential screening with them”.

    Why have biosecurity laws when we can leave it to a lottery? No passport, bureaucrat or detector dog nosing for meat product will pick up manure or mud hosting a virus. It can survive in organics for weeks.

    Suppose Senator Watt won’t question his department when they give
    terrible advice on biosecurity that goes against his inherent preference for quarantine stations.

    What will he do when the department starts pushing its urbane agenda? He is not there for an autotelic experience but to lead a nation through a potential agricultural apocalypse.

    Already, enduring cynicism from agricultural communities is that Labor’s refusal to quarantine, shut out or even force holiday-makers to wash their shoes when they declare they had been to Bali is a deliberate one-bird, two-stones ploy.

    One disease could potentially deal with two significant problems for the left-wing of the Labor Party – ending live export, which they announced during the federal election campaign, and reducing methane emissions, without the headache of fighting farmers.

    As the world turns its back on us as their trading partner, slashing $32 billion from the economy, it can be FMDs fault instead of Labor’s.

    Any vet will tell you if it gets into our feral pig population, there will be no stopping it, even with the mass killing of livestock and strict quarantine of rural Australians.

    But stalling on it now will be a massive own goal for Labor’s power targets unless, of course, they want to start building solar and wind farms in the cities. It’s time that Wellcamp was put to use.

    Bali tourists need to be herded into quarantine

    Sorry Cardi, can’t agree at all. We’ve just gone through 2 years of forced quarantines for people who may or may not have had Convid based on totally flawed tests and they are just harmful and this breaches every historical use of quarantine or other forced isolation. People have lives and they must continue uninterrupted. Advocating that people go to places such as Wellcamp just because it exists, in Winter, including the logistical problems just means that any transmissible condition will be further transmitted and then flourish in a close environment. Anybody who sets foot off a plane after a few hours has been subjected to everything every other passenger carries. Lots of parts of Bali are about sex, drugs and rock and roll (and new tatts) and many a traveller will return with who knows what anyway, a veritable petri dish of infection in a “camp”.
    Click quickly through the official info “about the disease”
    some of it is laughable (humanely destroy infected animals) – on a massive cattle station? Or, while it’s a horrible condition for cloven-hoofed animals, they mostly recover (do they then have lifelong immunity?) FMD does very poorly in Oz because of the climate and there are sensible, though I believe, over-cautious, plans in place.

    The climate hysteria induced renewables stupidity is now taking a noticeable swerve towards hydrogen.
    As it must be slowly dawning on the dumbarses that there is no way to electrify the entire transport fleet without invoking a Sri Lankan type backlash from the peasantry, hydrogen is the fig leaf/ straw that they are going to make a lunge for.
    Thus probably completely wrecking the sector with over investment and stupid investments.
    Hydrogen would be a key but small part of a sensible transition to alternative energy over many decades that also involved nuclear.

    If a hydrogen market develops and there is investment in discovering more natural sources, then it could end up being both. Can be used in both ICE and fuel cells. Can be produced from electrolysis and pumped out of the ground.
    Requires decades of further work however, and it won’t bridge the gap in their stupid plans to rid the West of carbon dioxide by 2030 or whatever.

    What’s more likely to occur is the knobs who rule over us give themselves further subsidies to turn their existing heavily subsidised excess rooftop solar into very small quantities of very expensive hydrogen to be used in a tiny number of ridiculously over priced private vehicles for them to smugly garage at everyone else’s expense.

    Hydrogen sulfide offers a trinity of immunological benefits to humanity: Not only does it help stop the growth of both bacteria and viruses in the air and also provide protection to our nervous system at low concentrations, but the rotten-eggy smell of hydrogen sulfide additionally triggers a vital mammalian olfactory pathway – the same one used as a repellent by skunks also drives rodents away from sulfuric volcanic caves – protecting humanity near these vents from the myriad diseases vectored by these scrambling critters.

    I started to read that article Cardi, but stopped when the author wrote this…

    ” In case you were expecting the “Red Sea,” that’s yet another mistranslated historical oversight: As just like the Egyptian Pharaoh isn’t actually named within Exodus, we don’t know which shallow Reed Sea is actually being referred to in this story.”

    The Red Sea in the Bible does mean the Red Sea, I’ve got no time for these revisionists. The crossing point was at Nuweiba, Egypt to Midian, now part of Saudi Arabia.
