And just like that, the young woman who died of an AZ jab is dead and buried by the health experts and the media.
If she’d waited for Pfizer she’d still be around. No photos of her to parade.
Reports say she died of an extremely rare blood platelet disorder. True in the normal course of events but not so after an AZ jab.
This vaccine would never pass muster outside a pandemic.

American planning for the invasion of Kyushu called for the dropping of six bombs behind the invasion beaches to prevent reinforcement and supply, and D.M.

These genetic modifiers are not vaccines.
I can prove they are not because now most people catching colds are double vaccinated.
They are not a vaccine, Lizzie.
They are nothing like normal vaccines.
You were not vaccinated, and you can bullshit all you want, but them there are the facts.
So why were you injected with a non tested genetic modifier that has now killed thousands immediately after taking it (within days) and the rest of you, as they tell us within 2-4 years max?
Dribble as much shit as you want, but you can’t prove the existence of this specific corona virus (if you can, will you let the government of Alberta know, because they can’t), so it’s all bullshit PROVEN by the fact only the Chinese fell dead in the streets from it (what a joke), you can’t produce evidence the tests work, and the so called vaccines don’t work unless working means killing people and making thousands more ill and paralysed and with all sorts of side effects.
Covid is a cold.
Catching a cold.
That is all.
Fancy that.
The government of Alberta cannot prove the existence of the separate deadly strain that is deadly and dastardly, and rooooly scary ‘n that.
They cannot prove the existence of anything separate from your normal colds and flus.
The PCR tests do not distinguish one corona virus from the next.
Isn’t it amazing.
The truth is actually worse than us so called “conspiracy theorists” believed ourselves.
As is usually the case with the left.
Can any prove covid (boo) came out of the Wuhan lab, and that it was modified to be highly contagious, yet kills nearly nobody, or is it theatre.
Propaganda by the global communists to keep you thinking it is deadly because it’s a man made variant.
Apparently studied and confirmed as being the case, but no one can prove (not even a globalist government) that it even exists.
Aren’t these PCR tests just amazing in what they can pick up and the different variants.
What a sickening , sickening joke.

Good morning Professor Higgins.
My ysuggestion to vote sitting members last applies specifically to representatives of the Liberal, Labor and National parties in the House of Representatives (HoR). Together they hold 144 of the 151 seats and since the 2016 federal election have voted in concert on anything of importance. On specifics –
Craig Kelly is an Independent and therefore not a member of the Liberal, Labor or National parties. He is a brave man and I urge people to support him in the next federal election.
Barnaby Joyce and Matt Canavan are members of the target parties. Both voted in favour of the cash Restrictions 2019 legislation, both supported the changes to the Banking Laws passed in 2018, and both have toed their party lines and supported everything from the continued theft of our super, to climate change, to renewable energy expenditure.
The Greens have one member in the HoR – Adam Bandt. One seat out of 151, If you think that represents an existential threat to to our wellbeing, so be it.
Just remember that voting a Greens candidate last, when they have almost no chance of winning the seat anyway, almost certainly guarantees the election or reelection of a Labor, Liberal or National party candidate with an already demonstrated propensity to wreck the economy, put thousands out of work, destroy the lives and livelihoods of thousands of households, and is now going to saddle us with a defacto ID system in the form of a “vaccine passport”.

NKP and others – there is so much wrong with our polity it may require a guest post to thrash out the issues and solutions.
It would be a long read, though, so don’t say you weren’t warned.
However, what we have been put through over the last 18 months has gone beyond surreal and is now rapidly becoming downright frightening – and there is no conceivable way out barring mass resistance and in all likelihood, extensive violence (or wholesale submission, which unfortunately seems the most likely outcome).
Our system of governance in this country is now broken beyond repair. There is so much wrong with it, that identifying every aspect will be a mammoth task.
Any suggestions gratefully received. Identify the problem and then a solution if you’re up for it.

I just sold my house, and had a relationship with my realtor that was less than perfect. On one hand, she extended me credit when I needed it and worked hard to sell it.
On the other, she lied to me about great things and small, and referred me to her mate to do the conveyancing. Her mate created a whole new lathe for cutting corners.
Luckily, I have read John Le Carre and am reminded that life is not about perfection, but advantage.
So, I sent her a gorgeous pot of miniature orchids, and she was delighted.

Philippines declares dengue epidemic as deaths surge
Published 6 August 2019
https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-49249144
The Philippines has declared a “national dengue epidemic” after at least 622 people lost their lives from the mosquito-borne disease this year.
At least 146,000 cases were recorded from January to 20 July – a 98% increase on the same period last year – the health department said.
The epidemic was declared so that officials can identify areas in need of emergency attention.
The infection causes flu-like illness, but occasionally becomes more severe.

” Identify the problem and then a solution if you’re up for it.”
The nub of our immediate problem is that state parliaments drafted and passed public health emergecy legislation that granted draconian powers to unelected public health officials with no means of external review other than what have turned out to be perfunctory extensions of those powers in time by the executive.
This is fundamentally incompatible with any democratic polity.
In the short to medium term the only hope is a thorough review and reform of these acts of legislation. The prospect of that happening is, I fear, remote unless the electorate clamours for it and some courageous politicians take it up.
That brings us to the longer term problem of the “neo-feudalisation”* happening in most – not all – Western democracies, which is a process that has been decades in the making. The middle and working classes are under attack from corporate interests* with whom most political parties have aligned themselves. By which I mean that the legal rights and protections that democracies granted ordinary people are effectively and incrementally being stripped from them and the people remain largely oblivious to this process, like the proverbial frog in a pot of boiling water.
Not only big business but the other “bigs” – education, sport, etc.. which have all become infected with cultural Marxism and its insidious “woke” agenda, which seeks to suppress all the natural rights we believed we were heir to – freedom of speech, religion & lately public assembly and down the track probably the right to property.

Man charged with fraud over alleged fake COVID result – Wollongong
Friday, 06 August 2021 07:27:13 AM
An Illawarra man has been charged with fraud after allegedly claiming he had COVID-19 to avoid going to work.
About 4.15am on Monday (2 August 2021), the 23-year-old allegedly sent a text message to his employer, stating he had contracted COVID-19 and was unable to go to work in Newcastle.
His co-workers were stood down and self-isolated while awaiting their test results, and several locations near his place of employment required deep cleaning.
Later that day, the man allegedly sent another text to his employer advising his second test returned a negative result.
Subsequent inquiries confirmed the man never received a positive test result.
The matter was referred to the NSW Police Force, with officers attached to Wollongong Police District commencing an investigation.
About 1pm yesterday (Thursday 5 August 2021), the man attended Wollongong Police Station, where he was arrested and charged with conveying false information that a person or property is in danger.
I just got off a meeting wherein a mum explained how much she loves lockdowns as they give her quiet family time.
I don’t think many people understand just how much many in the professional middle class are enjoying this time of peace and tranquility in their lives and they will do many things to make sure it continues.

‘ While health authorities and the mainstream media fueled fears that healthy young people, with virtually no symptoms, could ‘suddenly’ drop dead of Covid without warning, Alaskar’s own family have said they aren’t convinced the 27-year-old died from the virus.
The man’s cousin, Thijeel, told the Daily Mail the family had a long history of heart conditions and that he believes this was the cause of his death, not the virus.
This was reportedly confirmed by the paramedics who first arrived at the scene.
The Daily Mail reports: “Paramedics who responded to the emergency reportedly confirmed that he suffered heart failure, whereas the hospital specified that Covid was a contributing factor in his death.”
The family also told the Daily Telegraph that Alaskar had received a negative test result for Covid the day before his death.
Screenshots of comments allegedly made by Thijeel were also circulating on social media, in which the man’s cousin accused the media of making up stories.
“For those who are asking,” he said, “first of [all], no he did not die of Covid. There’s a history of heart problems that run in the family.”
The family said they will wait for the Coroner to confirm Alaskar’s cause of death…’

As I said about a year ago, nobody has challenged the right of our new rulers in court.
At the State level, there has never been a single legal challenge to the right of unelected bureaucrats to close the place down and shut off the borders. Looking from afar, I can see half a dozen reasons to challenge.
But nobody has. So much for the alleged defenders of human rights on the Left.
At the Federal level, Morrison has wimped out big time.
I would love to see Saint Sarah, now the Commonwealth DPP, argue against border closures and all the rest. Longtime readers might remember Sarah at the RC into unions. Mind like a steel trap.
Morro didn’t want Sarah loose on border closures.

With respect, do you not think it is somewhat lacking in strategic forethought to not consider the consequences of your proposed course of action?
I too am less than impressed with either of the major parties, but handing the balance of power to the Greens would make the situation considerably worse. It would empower the far left of Labor and the “moderates” in the Liberals to push through their agenda without overtly declaring it.
“Oh, it isn’t our preferred option but we had to concede a few points for our political partnership”.
We are seeing that down in Victoria with Dan “negotiating” with Upper House cross-benchers to extend his State of Emergency.
The stuff he is “conceding” fits perfectly with his mindset and he can implement it without having to really own it.

One “protester” being interviewed presumes to speak on behalf of all the protesters – as such interviewees are wont to do. Witness Yemeni – and even TailgunneR. That’s no reason to get all umbraged about the reference to the collective. “They” presume – you should not.

I am 33 days out now from my first AZ jab. More or less a clotting safety zone now.
Might bring the next one forward.
Then again you could be more susceptible to thrombosis while flying.

Suspension of rule of law has been going on for years and lizzies are more concerned about the ceiling colour. FMD.

So MV, have you scared LL away?

You big bully.

Oh.
So there is some history here.
As I said, I have only been following the Cat since early this year.
I remember seeing Cassie and others, but not rocinante.
Admittedly, I only used to read it in my spare time on weekends, and not every topic.
Forgive me if I stay clear of past battles.

Maybe he did it to stop the CO2 getting out.

Cassie, my open disgust for what Bird said is a matter of record here. The difference is I don’t attempt to gain mileage from it as Lizzie wants to. Her ‘outrage’ is self serving and confected. Remember when her protest about Bird was to leave and not return? That lasted 5 minutes.

Roger if you are right about a neo feudalism happening we need a Watt Tyler or a Ciompi revolt . They emerged after a plague in different countries and not sure if the same thing happened elsewhere . Sort of follows Jung’s thinking of similar ideas occurring with no connection between the groups Eg Virgin birth stories.

There will be more PHON and anti lock down independents than you can poke a stick at, by the time of the next election.
The question is, will there even be an election by that time, and will it be as corrupted as the US election was.
I suggest action must be taken well before the election is due.

Ruprecht, aka Nick.
Simply one of the ususal suspects. His general mental ‘failure to thrive’ noted.
A very suitable new handle. Well chosen, Nick.
I am sure others emailed Adam too, although many may have left their disgust at Bird apparent only on the site, which Adam didn’t check for the first 3000 comments, as he told us afterwards. His email to me was probably part of a wider email to others as well.
More importantly, I hope someone has emailed re Bird’s new iteration.
I have no desire to single myself out any more for slanderous commentary, having done my bit to try to keep this site sane and legal, as Cassie recognises.
Goodness me, as well as ‘failure to thrive’ back on here, we also have ‘fixated person’, who has come in slagging off at Cassie now too simply because she is pleased that the site no longer has Anti-Semitic Bird. The only person ‘transparent and dumb’ on this site is the one who is so fixated she can’t stop herself from breaking out into insane hatreds of anything I say. And the people who follow her up on it are simply encouraging more of it. It’s like encouraging Birdie. He won’t succeed, we all know that, which is why Sinc made a permanent banning of him in every iteration of his that popped up. No waiting to see if he’d blow.
Johanna though will be a running sore here for as long as her fixation displays.

There was a legal challenge to night curfews in Victoria but dan lifted them and didn’t bring them back.
I think Jim’s mowing has a class action on foot too.

Professor…..”rocinante” wasn’t early this year here because he was blocked by the former proprietor of this august blog back in September of last year. I won’t rehash why…..but suffice to say he was blocked for a very good reason.
