    We’ve had the Tigers v Cowboys debacle yesterday, now this:

    Seven Manly players will boycott this Thursday night’s clash against the Roosters after being blindsided by the club’s decision to wear a pride jersey as the Sea Eagles’ season descended into chaos.

    Sources with knowledge of discussions told the Herald that Manly coach Des Hasler had told the players he understood the difficult position the players have been put in as a result of the club not consulting them about the jersey, and will support their decision not to play.

    I’m going to address something that I haven’t heard anyone else address.
    During the last two years, especially in 2021, I wrote social media post after social media post on the Covid. Trying to find out the risks, trying to start a debate or trying to find out what was happening with others of you.
    Here is what hasn’t been said: I was f…ing terrified every time I posted something.
    We had police helicopters doing laps of our suburbs. We had people getting beat up by the coppers, curfews, cobbers and absolute bullsh*t media hysteria, we had an atmosphere of fear and self censorship, and you better believe I succumbed to it and self censored and felt a jolt of fear every time I hit “post”.
    That is a sh*t way to live.
    And now?
    I fear, and fear greatly, that those who succumbed and took the stab just want to move on and crave nothing more than to forget and get back to normal.
    Like immediately after a war, no one wants to dissect the causes. That takes until decades later.
    I don’t think we have until decades later, we have to wake the hell up and not move on. Not do the easy thing.
    We need some bloody answers.

    ‘Earlier this month The Australian’s Chris Kenny posed the question: Have we hit Peak Stupid?

    Our colleague Robert Gottliebsen indirectly answered him on Monday and it was with a two-letter word, not a three-letter one.

    Kenny posed the question in relation to climate and Covid-19 and mostly climate.’

    ‘Here was the Prime Minister telling people, Kenny highlighted, with a straight face – Albo was not doing stand-up – that he intended to change the climate to a more benign setting so they would no longer be troubled by natural disasters.

    Personally I thought the PM was rather restrained. I was expecting him to channel former US president Barack Obama and his “this was the moment when the rise of the oceans began to slow and our planet began to heal”. Further, Obama made that modest claim when he’d only just won the Democratic nomination to run for president; well before he could, well, actually do anything.

    And indeed, with our Albo, he could have been even more modest; claiming only that ‘this’ – his election – was the moment when the rise of our rivers began to slow and our continent began to heal. No more flooding rains, just endless drought.’

    ‘Well, now we’ve got, according to Gottliebsen, just about the most ludicrous proposal ever conceived in Australia – “that gas-rich Victoria import high-cost liquefied natural gas from Queensland”. Making it even more ludicrous, to Gottliebsen, is that the Victorian gas could be got without fracking as opposed to the Queensland gas.

    To Victoria’s Dark Green Labor government – my description, not his – fracked gas is just so much more evil than drilled gas; or in Gottliebsen’s case, gas that has to be separated from water.

    Something that, according to Gottliebsen, would be a ‘three-fer’ – Victorians would get the gas they need for heating etc and the generation back-up for wind and solar that could accelerate the closure of coal-fired power stations and the water released would droughtproof Gippsland.’

    ‘Peak stupid, Chris? Nah, we’re just getting more and more of it, spreading out around the world like Covid on airliners out of Wuhan.

    Where does all that fracked Queensland gas go? Almost all of it goes overseas, with more than two-thirds going to just one country alone: China.

    They can use it, and some, but we can’t. Their CO2 emissions are politically invisible, ours only literally so. Unlike the WA government of years ago, the Queensland government never insisted on ‘reserving’ some of it for Queenslanders, let alone the rest of Australia.

    Furthermore, we are desperate for China to start buying our coal again, to use in their coal power stations as we close all ours down.

    Peak stupid? In May the World Economic Forum reported that “coal-powered electricity generation rose by 9 per cent in 2021 to 10,042 Terawatt-hours (TWh), marking the biggest percentage rise since 1985”.

    And no, the WEF is no shill for the coal industry. It’s the exact opposite; it’s the Darkest shade of anti-fossil fuel Green, pushing climate change like there will be no tomorrow.

    Let me put that increase in context. Global coal-generated electricity increased by 908TWh in 2021. Our total – total – electricity generation was around 265TWh in 2021.

    So the world increased its coal-fired generation, in one year, by more than three times our total electricity.

    And where is much of that coal being burnt for power? According to WEF, over 50 per cent was in, well, China alone, followed by over 10 per cent in India.

    Let’s round off with Biden desperately pleading with the Saudis to pump a lot more oil to offset the Russians – while doing everything he can to close down oil production in the US.

    Peak Stupid? Nah, What about Ever-Peakier Stupid?’

    Manly Sea Eagles coach Des Hasler apologises
    for ‘poor’ execution and management of pride jersey

    Manly Sea Eagles has confirmed all seven stars who had ruled themselves out of selection for this week’s match over the pride jersey will not play.

    Jason Saab, Josh Aloiai, Christian Tuipulotu, Josh Schuster, Haumole Olakau’atu, Tolutau Koula and Toafofoa Sipley are believed to be the athletes who will not line up against the Sydney Roosters in a crucial match ahead of the finals.

    The news, this morning, had something about the number changing from 7 to 4. Good to know that the 7 are holding firm and haven’t rolled over. They are stars.

    What is Hasler apologising for? Poor execution and management of personal ideologies into an area that is meant to be just entertainment for those who love sport?

    “The jersey intent was to support the advocacy and human rights pertaining to gender, race culture, ability and LGBTQ rights,” Hasler said.

    What about human rights and inclusivity pertaining to religion or culture or any other reason?

    3 doctors died last week. All three died in a 3 day period just days after they gave the 4th shot. All are young doctors. You can see from their pictures. All three at Trillium Health in Mississauga, Ontario, Canada

    No mention of the vaccination date or cause of death.
