The Council of Europe is an international organisation founded in the wake of World War II to uphold human rights, democracy and the rule of law in Europe.
Here is how they uphold human rights. With wokery labelled as “Anti-hate speech campaign”.
‘A panel of top physicians and medical scientists held a summit in Florida on Saturday discussing how the American people can reclaim their bodily autonomy and medical sovereignty in the face of Joe Biden’s accelerating COVID authoritarianism in the form of vaccine mandates.’
I’ve added two new words to my vocabulary today, after watching this video interview with Fr James Altman, the priest cancelled by his bishop for speaking the truth.
1/ I used to refer to Covid pandemic as scamdemic.
Now, I can call it feardemic
2/ All those rules and health orders that we have it follow are called Man-dates.
But they are not God-dates
‘French President Emmanuel Macron and his Australian supporters Malcolm Turnbull, Julie Bishop and the ALP’s Anthony Albanese and Penny Wong are contemptible.
The duty of every government is to protect its citizens and the French submarine deal Macron and company are seeking to defend was rotten from its conception, as this column has detailed over the past five years.
It was beyond stupid to enter a contract with the French group DCNS (now Naval) which required the complete redesigning of a nuclear submarine, scrapping its nuclear power in favour of already obsolescent diesel engines which furthermore would be built in South Australia when there were offers of off-the-shelf submarines from Germany, Japan and the US that were more than capable of meeting Australia’s requirements.
The fault doesn’t lie with the politicians alone though. A great deal of the blame must fall upon the flawed thinking of the Australian defence establishment that has shown time and again it is not equipped to enter negotiations over equipment, be it submarines, ships or aircraft.’
“Our” ABC has devoted as much air time over the past week to Macron’s defamatory claim that he was lied to by Prime Minister Scott Morrison as it has to the failed Glasgow COP26 leaders summit.
Those doomsday clocks will just have to keep ticking now that the claimed critical 1.5C temperature reduction by 2050 can’t possibly be met — not that this hopey-wishy goal was ever realistic.
That won’t deter the global warming activists from conducting more stunts in the hope of gaining even greater subsidies for their financiers, the investors in green industries like unreliable wind and solar technologies and unproven
green hydrogen.
Macron’s foot-stamping tantrum captivated the Left but in reality was just an explosion of irrelevant hot air matching that expelled at the chilly Scottish summit.
Former foreign minister Julie Bishop was quick off the mark to denounce the cancellation of the contract with the Naval group as “deeply regrettable” as she claimed the government had “reneged” on the $90 billion submarine deal.”
Given the deal signed by Turnbull in 2016 had blown out from $50 billion to $90 billion and that the French had failed to meet three key terms and conditions of the contract: the concept studies, the systems requirements review; and the preliminary design review, it would seem that she learnt nothing about contractual obligations or budgets when she was shadow treasurer. As for Turnbull, his claim that he has always known Morrison to be a liar has not been supported by a single person, not even Christopher Pyne, who stood to gain the most through creating submarine jobs in Adelaide. “In my experience,” Pyne told The Australian, “Scott Morrison has never lied to me.”
Asked if Morrison had a reputation within government of being a liar, he stated: “Not in my experience.”
The petulance displayed by French ambassador Jean-Pierre Thebault at the National Press Club last week was akin to the pathetic displays we’ve seen from bullying Chinese diplomats, not that the ABC, which reported his humbug with breathless appreciation, would make that comparison.
Labor’s foreign affairs spokeswoman Penny Wong told the national broadcaster that Morrison’s disrespect for an ally matched that of former US President Donald Trump.
She didn’t mention and neither did her supportive ABC host that the most egregious failure in Western diplomacy in recent times was the abject failure of President Joe Biden to let US allies know that he was pulling the Americans out of Afghanistan with zero notice, ensuring chaos and death.
Nor did she mention that Biden admitted that “we”, the AUKUS partners, Australia, the UK and the US, had been clumsy in the way they broke the news to the French.
In siding with the French, Labor leader Anthony Albanese has shown he is prepared to put the pettiest party politics ahead of the national interest and is unfit to lead the nation.
As for hapless Malcolm Turnbull, he would probably like to be expelled from the Liberal Party but the party would be reluctant to add to his delusion that he has been martyred.
Morrison was fully entitled to ensure that the facts were laid out when he was grossly insulted by the disappointed French leader.’
Lisa Wilkinson has lived much of her life in the public eye. One of Australia’s most respected journalists and media personalities, her warm, intelligent and elegant presence has graced our television screens for many years, where she has shared, shaped and even shifted many important national conversations. But it all could have been so different …
Subjected to horrific bullying as a teenager, Lisa survived by making herself as small as possible. But she swore when she left school that no one was ever again going to determine who she was – or limit what she was capable of. That determination and drive led to Lisa blazing an unprecedented and enormously successful trail through the Australian media and cultural landscape for more than four decades.
An early ground-breaking career in publishing – at 21, Lisa was the youngest editor ever appointed to take charge of a national magazine, Dolly , before spending ten years as editor of the iconic Cleo magazine – then led to a stunning television success story. This included spending more than a decade as co-host of the Nine Network’s Today show, before she caused a media storm across Australia and the world on the issue of the gender pay gap, when she moved to the Ten Network as co-host of its prime-time award-winning program The Project.
It Wasn’t Meant to Be Like This is the story of how a young girl from Sydney’s western suburbs came to be such a force in Australian cultural life. It is a story that is honest, funny, engaging – and powerfully inspirational.
An accessible picture book for young children that introduces First Nations history and the term ‘terra nullius’ to a general audience, from Australian of the Year, community leader and anti-racism advocate Adam Goodes and political adviser and former journalist Ellie Laing, with artwork by Barkindji illustrator David Hardy.
For thousands and thousands of years, Aboriginal people lived in the land we call Australia.
The land was where people built their homes, played in the sun, and sat together to tell stories.
When the white people came, they called the land Terra Nullius. They said it was nobody’s land. But it was somebody’s land.
Somebody’s Land is an invitation to connect with First Nations culture, to acknowledge the hurt of the past, and to join together as one community with a precious shared history as old as time.
Adam Goodes and Ellie Laing’s powerful words and David Hardy’s pictures, full of life, invite children and their families to imagine themselves into Australia’s past – to feel the richness of our First Nations’ history, to acknowledge that our country was never terra nullius, and to understand what ‘welcome to our country’ really means.
The fault doesn’t lie with the politicians alone though. A great deal of the blame must fall upon the flawed thinking of the Australian defence establishment that has shown time and again it is not equipped to enter negotiations over equipment, be it submarines, ships or aircraft.’
That is a very important point.
Politicians keep changing, but one would expect the defence top brass to be well-versed with the security needs of the country and the kind of equipment most suitable to safeguard it. Or was their advice ignored by the country’s political masters?
As for hapless Malcolm Turnbull, he would probably like to be expelled from the Liberal Party but the party would be reluctant to add to his delusion that he has been martyred.

Unspared from the woke reimagining that has swept across classic comics, the latest incarnation of Superman – actually his son, Jon Kent – ‘came out’ as bisexual three weeks ago when a panel depicted the 17-year-old smooching a purple-haired “hacktivist” reporter named Jay Nakamura. It’s not clear why the alleged threats are only becoming a problem now; TMZ’s law enforcement sources merely said cops were “recently” dispatched to keep the illustrators’ and production staffers’ homes safe.

His Boston was shot down on the 18th, and he and one other crew member, Sgt. John Lyon, were taken prisoner, Newton being executed at Salamaua on the 29th of the same month, Lyon, perhaps the following day at Lae, and in less graceful circumstances.

Yep, I’m calling bullshit on that claim. Attacking people is what the left do. As for the woke fucks at DC this also from the article:
Kent’s sexuality is not the only potential woke angle the new Superman may pry open in future issues. DC writer Tom Taylor suggested the caped icon could hardly “battle robots while ignoring the climate crisis,” nor could “someone with super sight and super hearing ignore injustices beyond his borders [like] the plight of asylum seekers.”
Sgt. Basil Gilbert Eastwood was the crew member of Newton V.C.’s aircraft who perished when the plane went down. Both he & John Lyon are normally forgotten when their boss is mentioned. Lyon was stabbed by a bayonet at least three times & is suspected to have been still alive when buried.

DC writer Tom Taylor suggested the caped icon could hardly “battle robots while ignoring the climate crisis,” nor could “someone with super sight and super hearing ignore injustices beyond his borders [like] the plight of asylum seekers.”
Permit me to summarise the above:
The new Superman rejects the old ways of helping only the elite and privileged, and commits his services exclusively to a new group of elite and privileged.
Sorry, let me correct that: Lyon (see above) was stabbed WITH, not BY, a bayonet. Obviously there was a human directing the bayonet. Two humans, in fact.
Both Newton’s and Lyon’s bodies were found, separately, but Fl. Lt. Newton V.C.’s skull has never been located. (Which suggests that the diary entry describing his execution used more than a little poetic license).
Why would anyone be enraged by revelations the new version of the superhero is *Gasp* much like every other hypster in Hollyweird, Instantgran, Metafaceache, etc.? Isn’t it a bit twee now to declare yourself as ‘different & special’ when all those you are trying to impress are ALREADY ‘different & special?’ Is anyone impressed by that anymore?
Maybe ‘rage’ has, like many other words, been redefined to mean ‘a yawn and an eye roll?’
It all seems pretty blah, really. Hence my scepticism that the far(x3)right is frothing with rage and determined to lash out.

1/ In a press conference on October 31st, 2021, Western Australia Premier Mark McGowan revealed the state’s hospital system is under extraordinary pressure.
And they don’t know why.
They don’t need to know the reasons.
Klaus has told them what they need to say. It helps to include the other states, too. That way the public will believe that We’re all in it together.
“This is the same in Tasmania, South Australia, New South Wales, Queensland and Victoria.”
“Enormous Pressure. This has been something no-one has ever seen before. The growth in demand in our hospitals.”
(The state has recorded 1,112 Covid cases in total since the beginning of the pandemic).
How many of those were CONFIRMED cases of COVID-19 though?
As I’ve noted previously, there are three categories of case, as directed by the World Health Organisation: Suspected, Probable, and Confirmed.
The state health systems may be categorising the cases as advised (though I think there is some difference in terminology, in Qld. at least), but it is misleading to publicly lump all three categories into the one ‘case’ label.
Thirteen establishment House Republicans are facing backlash for enabling President Joe Biden’s infrastructure agenda, including the far-left’s reconciliation package.
If the 13 Republicans had not voted for the infrastructure bill, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) would not have had enough Democrat votes to pass the bill. But 13 Republicans did vote for the bill, which removed the leverage to block the reconciliation package from moving forward.
Ryan James Girdusky tweeted the breakdown of the 13 Republicans. According to Girdusky, eight Republicans are in red districts and face a tough reelection year. Two are retiring, and three are in blue districts:
Three possible causes of a state hospital system becoming strained (assuming the terminology has not been redefined without informing us) involve (a) the quantity of testing for COVID-19 – the slightest symptoms and you are directed to a test site (initially, many of these test sites were in the public hospitals), (b) the direction for staff who exhibit any symptoms even vaguely suggestive of COVID-19 to stay away from work until they can produce a negative test, and (c) most recently, the mandatory staff vaccination campaign which has exacerbated the rates of sick leave, and now, seen large numbers of staff simply placed on involuntary leave or terminated.
One wonders if the ‘under pressure’ remark may have been meant in a financial sense? It would be interesting to know how much the administration of the ‘mandatory jab’ directives has cost in dollar terms.

Solidarity here. I work for a Fortune 100 company and have so for 14 years. The CEO told us all more than once he would never mandate the vaccine, but today they did a 180 and are forcing all US employees (about 45,000) to get it, or an accommodation, or get fired on Jan 4.

I will say soon when I have my plan completely thought through. I can say this is a Silicon Valley based company… a name everyone would probably recognize.
It’s all about liability. It will magically become available when the vaccine for children is fully approved, not before.
The reason Comirnaty isn’t available is because those shots would expose the company to liability since the fully-licensed product doesn’t have the liability waiver of the EUA product.
But once the Pfizer vaccine is fully approved in kids, then Pfizer gets liability waiver on all age groups due to a “feature” in federal law for child vaccines (NCVIA). At that time, they are done. They can market the COVID vaccine products under full approval for all age groups and face no liability when it kills or disables you.
This is why they are focused on the kids. This is why there is a reformulation at a 1/3 dose and they changed the buffer and the storage conditions (low temperatures not required). All of these will weaken
