    . I could never convince people that its not okay to just go bombing all these women and children and civilian targets. There are consequences to this sort of behaviour. But since there is one tribe whose every celebration is about killing non-combatants its hard to get it through to people that this is not okay.

    Shut up Graeme.

    This ambit is a mendacious false equivalence, on par with the usual tripe we have to cop from Grigory’s sock drawer.

    At no point has anyone (outside of yourself) attempted to justify or handwave away mass murder.

    These people are categorically demonic:

    “Authorities are working to implement mask wearing in schools for a range of age groups.

    “Education has already done a fantastic piece of work, and they found and sourced masks that will fit smaller heads,” Dr Young said.

    “There’s very few places in the world that get children under 12 to wear masks so we’ll just work through and see if it’s beneficial.”

    Baris (People’s Pundit Daily) discussed the moves being made in US about mask wearing for K-8. He was ropeable. He mentioned the UK advice which said it was unnecessary and harmful to kids. He discussed how kids weren’t learning facial expressions, etc. and this was stunting their emotional development, among other things. Well worth listening to on YouTube.

    Osmar White, the Australian correspondent for the Melbourne Sun who rode with Patton’s column, records being the first journo into Buchenwald and what he saw.

    https://books.google.com.au/books?id=tWy1sBizZqkC&pg=PA77&lpg=PA77&dq=osmar+white+conqueror%27s+road+concentration+camp&source=bl&ots=Xm5R1UeaOk&sig=ACfU3U3sQDcqcGMx7U2pxGnJ1KFpROwswA&hl=en&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwj7mZ_EpJzyAhU7-nMBHTCjDkY4ChDoAXoECAYQAw#v=onepage&q=osmar%20white%20conqueror's%20road%20concentration%20camp&f=false

    His book, Conqueror’s Road, is a terrific piece of writing and reporting and heartily recommended.

    It also comes with an interesting twist. Years later back in Oz, White is camping by himself in the NW when a carload of univited guests arrive to share his campfire. He’s a bit anxious, especially about one of the arrivals who keeps staring at him.

    Turns out his visitor was a Buchenwald inmate and White’s face was engraved on his brain, the human symbol that it was finally over.

    Also a great sketch, his encounter with Goering’s art curator at Carinhall. Creepy to the max.

    The ADA is very specific concerning coverage. Vaccination is not included. Your privacy law idea is interesting but typically privacy laws are about 3rd party release of information. It is also an easy workaround because all the business owner has to do is request a vac certificate for allowed entry. The person is not compelled to provide any information.
    Consumer laws, don’t see how those are relevant.
    Industrial relations. Interesting but will need the unions on board.
    Government premises, that’s where it might become interesting because it may involve loss of provision of services that are guaranteed by law.

    The public will be with the PM. The opposition won’t dare oppose any legislation limiting access for the non-vaccinated. I think he wins on this one.

    Australia has become East Germany.

    “We’ve seen too many instances where people have left the country only for in relatively short order to put their names on the request list to come back into the country,” Senator Birmingham said today.

    “So, it’s important that people who are seeking to leave are either doing so because they’re returning to another place of residence for a long period of time, or that they have a very strong, credible reason for doing so.”

    In 1918/19 Australia could manage the return of a couple of hundred thousand soldiers during the far more deadly Spanish Flu pandemic, without closing any borders. The current Liberal Party has caved to the tyrannical premiers, rather than respect the rights of citizens who want to return.

    What would Robert Menzies say about his party if he were alive today?

    Yeah, right. The vaccines will free us all. Just moved on the wires:

    There are early signs people who have been vaccinated against COVID-19 may be able to transmit the Delta variant of the virus as easily as those who have not, scientists at Public Health England say.

    The findings chime with those from the US Centres for Disease Control and Prevention, which last week raised concerns that vaccinated people infected with Delta could, unlike with other variants, readily transmit it.

    The highly infectious Delta variant has become the dominant coronavirus type globally, sustaining a pandemic that has already killed more than 4.4 million people, including over 130,000 in Britain.

    Vaccines have been shown to provide good protection against severe disease and death from Delta, especially with two doses, but there is less data on whether vaccinated people can still transmit it to others.

    “Some initial findings … indicate that levels of virus in those who become infected with Delta having already been vaccinated may be similar to levels found in unvaccinated people,” Public Health England (PHE) said in a statement on Friday.

    “This may have implications for people’s infectiousness, whether they have been vaccinated or not. However, this is early exploratory analysis and further targeted studies are needed to confirm whether this is the case.”

    PHE said that of confirmed Delta cases that had ended up hospitalised since July 19, 55.1 per cent were unvaccinated, while 34.9 per cent had received two doses of a COVID-19 vaccine.

    Nearly 75 per cent of the British population has had two vaccine doses, and PHE said that “as more of the population gets vaccinated, we will see a higher relative percentage of vaccinated people in hospital”.

    Separately, PHE said another variant, known as B.1.621, first detected in Colombia, had shown signs of evading the immune response triggered by either COVID-19 vaccines or previous infection.

    PHE has labelled the variant “under investigation” but has not declared it a “variant of concern” – a designation that can trigger strong policy responses.

    “There is preliminary laboratory evidence to suggest that vaccination and previous infection may be less effective at preventing infection with (B.1.621),” it said, adding there had been 37 confirmed cases of the variant in England.

    “However, this data is very limited and more research is required. There is no evidence to suggest that (it) is more transmissible than the dominant Delta variant.”

    Bird is just trolling- continually asserting statements without supporting them with evidence AND ignoring evidence that is readily available that destroys his delusions.

    key perpetrators gave evidence directly related to the Holocaust. Hermann Göring, the highest official of the Nazi state tried at Nuremberg, testified openly and frankly about the persecution of German Jews from the rise of the Nazi Party to power in 1933 until the outbreak of war in 1939. Otto Ohlendorf testified directly about his unit, Einsatzgruppe D, killing 90,000 Jews in southern Ukraine in 1941. And the long-time commandant of Auschwitz, Rudolf Hoess, testified frankly about the gassing of more than a million Jews at the Auschwitz-Birkenau killing center during the war. All three claimed that they carried out the legitimate orders of the state.

    That is just horseplop, Grigory. You don’t know how often Sinc blocked Bird from posting in the first place, or banned him early. Apart from anything else, you are falling victim to confirmation bias.

    “confirmation bias”? No m0nty. I have excellent recall – not quite hyperthymesic, as MV once claimed = but perfectly fine for remembering things just as they happened. As for what Sinc may or may not have done behind the scenes or when I was not at the old dead and gone Cat, I can’t and don’t even try to speculate on them – and nor should you. I can only say what I observed over near enough to 8 years – and I was on the old Cat on many, many occasions during Birdstrikes. What I recounted earlier today was what I actually observed. You trying to deny what I described does not change the facts.

    And by the way, I could count on one hand the number of times that I have actually said anything to the Bird. When I have it has been brief and dismissive.

    And the Bank of England currently providing British banks with prepared templates to facilitate implementing bail-ins of customers’ savings.

    What does that mean?
    —————————-
    What it means is this: – Once upon a time if you had money in a savings account you were considered a “depositor” and your funds were protected by various laws, and backed by various government guarantees.

    In Australia the Banking Law Amendments in 2018 changed your legal status from “depositor” to “investor”. So, if you have money in a savings account you are now an “unsecured creditor” in the bank.

    If (when) the bank runs short of funds they are quite entitled to use (steal) your savings to cover their shortfall, and you have no legal recourse to recover it. Similar laws were passed in the UK in 2009, and elsewhere in the period 2009 to now.

    Are you beginning to understand what Klaus Schwab meant when explaining the “Great Reset” he said “you will have nothing, and you will be happy”?

    Why were the Jews “prisoners”?

    …………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

    This.

    In the winter of 1945 all the prisoners of the Third Reich held in occupied Poland were force marched back into the heartland in the face of the Red Army onslaught.

    Their treatment varied.

    In a country wracked by shortage there were three categories of care, concern and rationing.

    The US, UK and Commonwealth POW troops got it best of all. Conditions were bad, a degree of suffering mostly beyond the comprehension of the modern mind.

    The POW’s from the USSR got it very bad. Very bad. They were brutally treated.

    The non-belligerent prisoners. They got it worst of all.

    When the British Army were confronted with the humanitarian disaster of that particular class of Third Reich prisoner who were concentrated at Bergen-Belsen they were shocked. They were confronted by thousands of unburied corpses. They had to deal with 60,000 starving and mortally ill people.

    Typhus and dysentery.

    The damage had already been done.

    Many more thousands more died in the weeks after liberation.

    The fact that more died after than before, still burns in the corporate memory. It’s a source of senseless shame.

    It still burns nevertheless.

    Sinc’s policy fully vindicated within a week.

    Exactly.

    Nothing like slobbering about Jewish relatives and then uncritically linking to a hater like @Stopfundisrael

    Oh and how dare anyone use the open forum as an open forum.

    Grigory and his almost perfect recall.

    Like that time we were mean about some advertising staffer.

    Until it must have been a different one.

    Sinc was never here 24/7, bird would get through first time moderation with an innocuous comment then go nuts overnight. Sinc would no doubt be alerted by someone via email and smite him in the am.

    This was a pretty regular pattern, and yes lots of people missed the bird words by that much .

    Bird is also the reason so many words caused posts to go into moderation.

    But sure Grig’s slant is the correct one.

    Rewriting history, one day at a time

    Calli that is a little unfair, we discussed this on discord before Monty did it, obviously people were not happy about Bird and others taking over, Monty said he could and I said he wouldn’t but he did, very quickly.

    There is no loss posting at Monty’s if you use a discrete email, sure he may shut it down on short notice, but anyone can do that.

    If he keeps the loonies away and sticks to his commitment to be like Sinc well, he can be as wrong as he likes.

    LOL.
    Yes, Grigory and his perfect recall.

    Oh how we enjoyed his regular face plants, under his various guises.
    More often than not, self inflicted whilst trying to defend his old mate, Bob.

    You don’t think there’s an element of “divide and conquer”? Okay.

    I’m obviously not privy to discussions on discord.

    Anyway, m0nty once told me I had no “standards”. So I’ll hang around here a bit longer and lower the tone. 🤣

    Novavax has just had its government fundING suspended (New York Times under paywall subscription) due to FDA concerns about production protocols. It appears there was contamination in some doses produced. It is unclear what the prospects now are.

    Meanwhile there are quite a few other vaccines ( one supposes that some use conventional technology) being developed.

    However, I think that the anti-virals currently under production by Pharma giants like Pfizer, Roche & Merck are our best bets & should be available early next year here.

    Robert Malone says only problem with the anti-virals will be the necessity for permanent testing arrangements (or rapid testing kits for domestic use) because the anti-virals (including Ivermectin) need to be administered in the first week of covid infection.

    Rocinante says:-

    What it means is this: – Once upon a time if you had money in a savings account you were considered a “depositor” and your funds were protected by various laws, and backed by various government guarantees.
    In Australia the Banking Law Amendments in 2018 changed your legal status from “depositor” to “investor”. 

    Rocinante.
    Can you please provide the name of the Act and the relevant section?

    Of course they have. It’s natural for them to do so, in the same manner a bunch of unruly schoolkids suddenly see a substitute teacher standing in front of them.

    They’ll try it on, just to see what happens.
