    LOL – I’d suggest a well-directed torpedo hit the target amid-ships. The SS JC is going down, lads!

    Yea, that’s right I took a hit because I’ve instructed you, several times in fact, to stop trying to tell us what to do on the site while groveling to the site host. As stated before, it’s unseemly and frankly a grotesque form of groveling. Instead of an apology to me and the readership, we end up the a racist flip-out. Great, another peripheral racebaiting flip-out.

    And I’m the one taking a hit. You dishonest, triggered red neck, stop the groveling and for goodness sake stop trying to give the rest of us instructions.

    Good lord you coal hating idiots have no idea about economics or chem/physics.

    CHINA HAS BUILT CRAP TONNES OF COAL FIRED POWER LATELY.

    From early 2021.

    A joint report released Wednesday by the U.S.-based Global Energy Monitor (GEM) and Helsinki-based Center for Research on Energy and Clean Air (CREA) found China built over three times as much coal-fired electrical power capacity in 2020 as the rest of the world combined.

    China approved the construction of a further 36.9 GW of coal-fired capacity last year, three times more than a year earlier, bringing the total under construction to 88.1 GW. It now has 247 GW of coal power under development, enough to supply the whole of Germany.

    How many battery fires, brown outs etc do you need to start laughing at renewables?

    Hydrogen doesn’t work. It leaks. Maybe the van der Waals radius means nothing to you, but its important.

    Here’s the reality about COVID: The Chinese engineered it to be the perfect virus for infecting humans and the same will be true for its endless variants. It’s here to stay. We need to focus on treatments because we cannot vanquish it with a vaccine (unlike smallpox), nor will stopping the world in its tracks make it go away. We also must turn China into a pariah nation by isolating it completely from trade and tourism. No nation should get a pass for doing what China did.

    Australia’s New South Wales, though, shows that Western societies are infinitely more invested in destroying themselves as their elected officials revel in their sudden totalitarian power than they are interested in making smart decisions to move forward and teach China never to sin again.

    The vaccines inject a replicating spike protein which is in itself toxic. Apart from all the other damage they can do to the body, they can also directly cause Covid without any external source of infection, which explains the many young people getting it now when they were immune from it before.

    I’m very skeptical of all the “hurt” that was supposedly done by Walker’s comment. (My mail is that he called Young a black c—). I may have mentioned before, the worst racist abuse I have heard at the football, was by an Aboriginal man to Nic Naitanui a few years back. No one reported him, even though he was saying a lot worse than Taylor Walker. So not every Aborigine is offended by racism as we are led to believe.

    And funnily enough, three other players have reported racist comments on social media this week.* It seems to me that it is very satisfying and profitable for Aborigines to have, not just Walker, but the whole AFL media groveling to them. Every time there is a blow-up like this in the media, more jobs open up in the AFL for race-baiters and grifters as well as footballers.

    *Mind you, social media is open for 26 million Australians to comment, so it’s hardly surprising that there are a few gormless twits who would abuse players on those forums. Look at this place, we get Bird.

    —-

    Oh really?

    Here is the PROOF that covid-19 was downgraded in March 2020
    10TH FEBRUARY 2021
    As I reported on my website back in March, on March 19th, the public health bodies in the UK and the Advisory Committee on Dangerous Pathogens decided that the new disease should no longer be classified as a ‘high consequence infectious disease’ (click on the link below to see the proof). The coronavirus was downgraded to flu level.

    A couple of days after this decision, the UK Government introduced lockdowns and introduced the most oppressive Bill in British Parliamentary history. The Emergency Bill, which was 358 pages long, turned Britain into a totalitarian state and gave the Government and the police unprecedented powers. Public meetings and elections were banned and there were new powers relating to ‘restrictions on use and disclosure of information’.

    There are still people who do not know that the coronavirus was downgraded to `flu’ threat back in March. Please send the link to MPs and newspapers. It proves that everything that has happened since March has been a lie.

    Here is the PROOF that covid-19 was downgraded in March 2020

    Mainstream media implictly fails the official policies. From April last year. Or maybe they were bullshitting all along?

    https://www.healthline.com/health/r-nought-reproduction-number#covid-19-r-0

    Keep in mind that the efficacy of the COVID vaccines are 60%.

    ——————————————-

    Importantly, a disease’s R0 value only applies when everyone in a population is completely vulnerable to the disease. This means:

    no one has been vaccinated
    no one has had the disease before
    there’s no way to control the spread of the disease
    This combination of conditions is rare nowadays thanks to advances in medicine. Many diseases that were deadly in the past can now be contained and sometimes cured.

    For example, in 1918 there was a worldwide outbreak of the swine flu that killed 50 million people. According to a review article published in BMC Medicine, the R0 value of the 1918 pandemic was estimated to be between 1.4 and 2.8.

    But when the swine flu, or H1N1 virus, came back in 2009, its R0 value was between 1.4 and 1.6, report researchers in the journal Science. The existence of vaccines and antiviral drugs made the 2009 outbreak much less deadly.

    COVID-19 R0
    The R0 for COVID-19 is a median of 5.7, according to a study published online in Emerging Infectious Diseases. That’s about double an earlier R0 estimate of 2.2 to 2.7

    The 5.7 means that one person with COVID-19 can potentially transmit the coronavirus to 5 to 6 people, rather than the 2 to 3 researchers originally thought.

    Researchers calculated the new number based on data from the original outbreak in Wuhan, China. They used parameters like the virus incubation period (4.2 days) — how much time elapsed from when people were exposed to the virus and when they started to show symptoms.

    The researchers estimated a doubling time of 2 to 3 days, which is much faster than earlier estimates of 6 to 7 days. The doubling time is how long it takes for the number of coronavirus cases, hospitalizations, and deaths to double. The shorter the time, the faster the disease is spreading.

    With an R0 of 5.7, at least 82 percent of the population needs to be immune to COVID-19 to stop its transmission through vaccination and herd immunity.

    —————————————————————————————-

    82% herd immunity with a 60% vaccine efficacy rate?

    You’d need to vaccinate nearly 137% of the currently alive population.

    Rex-Leigh can’t filibuster these things away if you watch the presentations. No gas lighting can change the reality if you have been informed.

    3 important questions for you, Graeme:

    1. Who is this magnificent Adelaidean double-barrelled nemesis you have decided is the Anti-christ, Mao, Lenin and Carlton Football Club all rolled into one?

    2. What have you been smoking lately?

    3. Why haven’t you shared it with the others?

    And a bonus Question 4:

    Do you actually know what the word ‘filibuster’ means, and how it is correctly used?

    After being reported by his hospital pharmacist wife, this bloke in Perth has been involuntarily sectioned because (he claims) of his opinions regarding Covid19

    Sounds like “Sluggish Schizophrenia”.

    In fact, Snezhnevsky had invented “sluggish schizophrenia” as a political tool for oppressing anti-Soviet dissenters. Any anti-state behavior—such as opposition to one’s superiors or overvaluing one’s importance—could indicate mental illness. The logic was simple: If anyone opposed the Soviet state, he was mentally ill, as there was no logical reason to oppose the finest socio-political system in the world.

    Speaking of Big Radial Engines & parachuting & stuff:

    Tonight I’ve been flying (vicariously) a Junkers 52.

    Here’s the driver’s eye view. The flight is recent. The clip is a year old, I’ve made this flight on several occasions.
    Quite a view over the nose through the housing of the nose radial.
    Lotsa awesome radial engine sound, lotsa central European mountain rural scenery in the verdant height of summer.
    A bit over 16 minutes from chocks to chocks.

    Fantastic on full screen, with decent speakers at carefully chosen volume.

    Happy Flying!

    It wasn’t 57th street. It’s West 55th street. And the fuckers have changed this dessert. I used to have it was a slice of blaklava too.

    DESSERTS

    Baklava
    Traditional pastry with pistachios, almonds, walnuts and vanilla ice cream

    Greek Yogurt
    with thyme honey from the island of Kythira

    The restaurant is called Milos. Great, great Greek food.

    I could argue that Greek food is the most delicious slap-dash food going. It’s all good.

    Petition to the Government to assess other treatments vs coronavirus.

    We therefore ask the House to formally request that the TGA assess the use of Ivermectine and Hydroxycloroquine, in the recommended dosages and combination with complimentary drugs, based on the peer reviewed studies and data, and the recommendation of notable Australian medical researchers such as Professor Thomas Borody and Professor Robert Clancy.

    Need a few more signatures for TGA to assess Ivermectin. Deadline tonight.

    I think there is fuckery with the data collection. Like there was with fatality stats and modelling of the pandemic.

    Anyway the point was that herd immunity is impossible without better vaccines.

    ‘The NSW government’s direction for construction workers to get the jab if they want to return to work faces a potential constitutional challenge, which could have ramifications for state powers to mandate vaccinations.
    Sydney lawyer Nathan Buckley, who ran an unsuccessful test case against mandatory flu vaccinations in childcare this year, is now seeking to raise $1 million for a class action against the vaccine requirement for workers from eight of the Sydney hotspot local government areas introduced this week.

    Sydney lawyer Nathan Buckley of G&B Lawyers claims only the Commonwealth can deal with vaccination issues.
    The legal action has attracted attention from some construction workers angry at the new requirement, which is also not supported by the Construction, Forestry, Maritime, Mining and Energy Union, and several other lawyers have raised their hand to run their own actions…’
