    They’ve also deliberately cheapened the label “Nazi”….so now anyone who disagrees with the left is a “Nazi”. All of this suits the left….smearing their ideological opponents as Nazis works well in shutting down and silencing debate on important issues….such Islaaaaaaaaaaam, immigration, SSM and so on. It is the right who can’t hold conference and gatherings without far-left protesters screaming “Nazi” or “faaaaaar-riiiight” at them…it is right-wing commentators who are regularly smeared as “Nazi” or “faaaaar-riiiiiight”. I could go…..but this is also related to the tech giants and their censoring and shutting down of alternative opinions. Everyone on the right is a Nazi now…it’s a great way of destroying your opposition.

    Is it time to revive the (often accurate) description “Card carrying member of the Communist Party”?

    Correct.

    Thanks, Mater, for your surgical dismantling of wannabe blog dictator Monty’s attempt to gaslight us.

    Lefties lie about everything all the time. As someone said above, ideology has them by the short and curlies. They can never be trusted.

    I cant recall where I got this but reproduced here: There are several sites in Canada that will white label ship Ivermectin (not cheap). Ive tried getting it here but the TGA has shut off supply so only injectable for pigs and sheep.

    “vermectin paste is used for horses. I have used the same on my Shelties for monthly worm and parasite treatment. It does work. It also can be used on people.
    Ivermectin is very safe and should be given to anyone experiencing COVID symptoms
    COVID effective (EARLY) treatment
    1. Ivermectin 200mcg per Kilo body weight
    (try not to exceed 12-18mg) for 5 days (for Covid it’s recommended to take Ivermectin with food. Usually Ivermectin is taken on an empty stomach, 1 hour before breakfast)
    2. Hydroxychloroquine 200mg every 12 hours – for 5-7 days*
    3. Zinc 200mg for 5-7 days
    4. Doxycycline 100mg twice a day for 10 days (or Azithromycin 500mg for 5 days)
    5. Vitamin D 5000iu every day (unless one is deficient – take more)
    6. Melatonin 12 mg per day for 5-7 days
    7. Vitamin C 5000-8000mg per day for 5 days (if developed diarrhea, lower the dosage)
    8. Quercetin 500-1000mg (if you can’t get Ivermectin and Hydroxychloroquine then take Quercetin at 50mg per kilo body weight)
    * you can take Ivermectin and Hydroxychloroquine together
    The above treatments has been given to many people and it was very effective. It works best to give it with the first signs of COVID
    Household members should take ONE dosage of Ivermectin as a prophylaxis”

    The mushroom chap was just driving away people and simply upsetting some by the subject matter being more personal to them. Bad scenario.

    Monty has a site but I feel more loyal to Adam’s because he just up and did it and got the site done in days amongst his own busy life.

    _______________________________________

    Lizzie, I say this without animus.

    Please lay off the bitching about everyone else and return to posting sensible stuff – you have a lot of value to offer. You’re currently sounding exactly like the people you criticise, and you seem to be doing that almost incessantly on this new Cat. Your constant and increasingly angry posts are cluttering up the blog, doing exactly what you criticise others for doing. It’s unpleasant.

    Weeding out obvious trolls whose posts may well cause the downfall of the entire platform is reasonable and necessary.

    Continued sniping against a single poster in particular who makes a couple of pithy observations about your posts just makes you look petty, and only continues the nonsense. That shouldn’t be surprising. Actually, that could go for a couple of others who engage in hours-long, uninspiring tit-for-tat nonsense as well.

    I value the Cat, and am relieved it has been kept going. I lurk as often as I can, don’t post much, but take in the best of others’ posts. Let’s all remember what a positive lifeline it’s been for us in these trying times, and just settle back to sharing good information and interesting, even competing, points of view like civilised adults.

    Exactly, and it’s pretty clear that Adam put this thing together quickly and then had to get on top of implementing a smite function. Then that turd munty, turns up, criticises and then advertises what he put together with much more time. I wouldn’t post on that shit stains site if it was the only cat in existence.

    The Monty situation has always shown why we on the right fail.
    We humour these scum.
    Lizzie and many others seem to just not believe people can be evil and rotten to the core.
    These people become leftists because of character flaws which makes left wing politics appealing to them.
    Envy.
    Laziness.
    A sense of undeserved entitlement (they are owed by others)
    Self preservation above all else and a disregard for all others.
    Except that in being collectivists, they are only ever concerned with being accepted into their collective.
    True sickenening evil grows from this.

    The conversation we should be having now is whether these people should be allowed to even comment.
    That’s one for Adam on his blog.
    He can decide what he likes.
    But all of us should be closing them down as much as possible BECAUSE they are doing it to us.
    It’s a propaganda war, and they do side track you, and keep us from getting to the real matters we need to, hence we are talking about Monty now.

    Christian thinking right wingers end up destroying themselves being nice to an enemy that just wants them gone.
    Attack these scum.
    Monty is a coward, lazy, a sheeple who advocates violence, and just because he’s been here a while does not change it.

He didn’t actually piss me off, I never took him seriously enough, I thought him very silly and an intellectual slob. So I post on his site occasionally.

    So let’s leave Monty from the discussion.
    Who has noted the decline and depression in the jabbed.
    As more and more come to the realisation they’ve been injected with death from eugenics billionaire population controllers they are lashing out at everyone, especially those who weren’t a stupid and willing to capitulate to hostage takers as themselves.
    Twisting the narrative that it’s all the unvaccinated fault, when the truth is we’re all unvaccinated.
    Just because socialists called your death jab a vaccine, doesn’t make it one.
    Sorry guys, but it’s not the un-deathjabbed that is to blame here. It’s YOU.
    YOU are to blame for your own demise.
    Andrew Bolt is a classic example as are many in the media.
    They could never be wrong, so they will be angry.
    Very very angry.
    This has to be caused by someone.
    If they admit to themselves it is the government’s fault then they’d have to admit they were gullible twats.
    Not going to happen.
    So what they’ll do instead is double down on the ridiculous and laughable propaganda as if it’s facts and try to blame the unvaccinated with any rediculous twist in logic.
    In essence, find anyone else,mand any reason even if it’s complete bullshit to not blame themselves.
    This is going to get ugly.
    Real ugly.
    Yet in Australia, they need to realise, they are a very small minority of people.
    I’ve been reminding them of this on other social media.
    Make sure they know if they want a fight they are the minority and they’ll get one.

    Bushkid, that single poster isn’t someone who makes a couple of “pithy” observations about Lizzie’s posts, she has a long history of being nasty towards Lizzie and finally Lizzie has decided to return serve…and good on Lizzie for doing so. This person is also the first to complain about how people should “scroll” but she seems unable, for some reason, to “scroll” past Lizzie’s posts.

    I actually like a lot of what that “single poster” writes, as does Lizzie…it’s just a pity she can’t get over her pathological dislike of Lizzie. I know Lizzie personally and she’s a lovely person. Lizzie has been concerned, rightly so, about bird running amok and the filth he’s been posting. Adam has dealt with it…until the next bird strike….because one thing is for sure in life which is that along with taxes and death there’ll be another bird strike.

    Anyway I want to support this site in any way I can. I think Adam has done a great job so quickly and he deserves a lot of praise. We’re a stiff-necked lot…us Cats.

    From other fred:

    Comments and feedback: tbarnes@spectator.com.au
    Julian Burnside AO QC flirted with anti-Semitism. He won’t be missed.
    This isn’t a great time for good political news, but hearing that Julian Burnside AO QC has quit as the Greens’ presumptive candidate in Josh Frydenberg’s seat of Kooyong warmed the cockles.

    Burnside’s outspoken opinions on the state of Israel’s right to exist and defend herself finally caught up with him. The outrageous comments he and his wife have made on social media over the last week – Burnside likening Israel to Nazi Germany and his wife Kate Dunham labelling Frydenberg ‘just a Hungarian’ in reference to 2018 allegations he was constitutionally ineligible to be an MP because of his family’s displaced persons status after the War, were beyond the pale of civilised political discourse.

    They were more than crass. They were anti-Semitic. They certainly don’t deserve to be reproduced here.

    They were true to form, however. Burnside was the bloke who once posted an image of then Home Affairs minister Peter Dutton’s head on a SS death’s head badge. This was the bloke the Greens chose to stand against a decent Jewish man in Frydenberg. His wife subsequently deleted her even more offensive tweet, but she knew what she was saying in so viciously personalising her comment against Frydenberg: she turned a political statement into an anti-Semitic personal slur.

    Yest there is a skerrick of honour among thieves. After a week of pressure to stand aside, Burnside did the right thing in resigning his candidacy yesterday.

    But remember, he wasn’t pushed by the Greens party, or by its garrulous leader, Adam Bandt.

    Instead of saying that Burnside had gone too far, and was getting the boot, Bandt murmured such platitudes as, ‘The Australian Greens abhor racism in all its forms, and are particularly concerned by the resurgence of anti-Semitism seen across the world’.

    But, it seems, not particularly concerned about the anti-Semitism in the Australian Greens.

    Burnside may have gone back to his beloved Savage Club (if they will have him back, that is), but the one-eyed, hard Left attitude of the Greens to Israel remains.

    The Israel-Palestine question is a hard one to settle. The realities of the Middle East are nuanced. Israel is not perfect, as no state is. It is one thing to be pro-Palestinian – and that is the Greens’ right – but it is another to harbour and nurture anti-Semitism and racism in the party’s ranks.

    Adam Bandt should not only have distanced himself from Burnside and Dunham’s ugly and offensive remarks. He should have disowned them. He should have condemned them. But he didn’t because he couldn’t. There are hundreds more Burnsides in the Greens, all clamouring to impose their anti-Israel policy on an Albanese government should Labor win the next election. Bandt doesn’t dare cross them, and may well agree with them.

    Julian Burnside at least realised he failed a test of character. Adam Bandt has not, and that is his and his party’s shame.

    It’s a good article except like other generous people the author assumes the leader of the filth, bandt the bastard, has a capacity for shame.

  42. I’m still unsure why Lizzie attracts such scorn, especially when Joh also goes on to post ‘slice of life’ accounts (I enjoy both, but may miss Joh’s when it’s on the tail of another Lizzie critique).

    I note that it’s not Lizzie initiating meta-Çat discussion of her posts. She just takes up her right of reply, and not in every instance.

    I’m happy for her to defend herself but I think her writings are strong enough to stand on their own without her needing to respond directly. Her choice in how to approach this but a deft indirect slap in passing is my preferred style. 🙂

    I think that’s right. Some strange people enjoy pretending to be something they’re not and posting insincere stuff, and getting a bang from thinking how clever they are being by deceiving the readers.

    My ears are burning. A response:

    – I am not going to doxx anyone. I am far more easily doxxed than any of you. I would ban any attempts at doxxing.

    – I have stated that my moderation style would hew as closely to that of Sinclair as possible. You may disbelieve me, but you hold the whip hand here with your patronage so you can hold me to that.

    – As mh reminded you, Sinclair held quite a few views with which the Cat community disagreed. I do as well, of course. The point is not me or my personality, it’s the spirit of the site. In a group blog, even the moderator is but one voice among many.

    – I sent CL a long justification in email for my posting history at the old Cat as part of my attempt to keep continuity with a new site. Without boring you, suffice it to say that my intention all along has been to uphold the original libertarian creed of the Cat, particularly where it intersects with my institutionalism. You can choose to disbelieve me, and sure there has been a fair bit of trolling involved in achieving that goal as the commenters drift ever further into statist nativism, but if you don’t have fun then what are you commenting on a poliblog for.

    – I acknowledge dover_beach’s criticism about commissioning new content, and I had a fruitful discussion last night with another Cat for them to take that over. It’s supposed to be a group blog after all, that is part of what I enjoy about the Cat.

    Jonestown was an hysterical mob, ginned up, terrified and bullied into thinking they were in imminent danger, and all its government: Jones and all the men with all the guns, told the citizens they had to drink the mandatory government approved kool-aid without question – children included. The pressure in the town square was immense, most obediently did so, only a couple plead for the childrens lives to be spared – they weren’t.

    The mob is the ones who hold the guns, the loudspeaker and is ordering you and your children to ingest something you don’t want to take because they say there is simply no way out for you all (I.e them).

    Areff, we are beaten because too many like you assume we are beaten before we are.
    Think about what is happening.
    Business are really going to force vaccinations on a population not even a quarter vaccinated and the government throwing away it’s vaccines.
    Markets have a way of sorting that shit out.
    Already I have noted the shops around the area not QR Nazi-ing have full car parks and are doing a brisk trade.
    Those that are a pain in the arse are being avoided like the plague.
    As times get harder, what do you think will happen?
    And then we do have elections coming up where many like myself will probably be standing as no lockdown independants.
    There are far more unvaccinated than vaccinated about.
    There is a mexican stand off happening.
    And in the regions, you might be surprised at the level of underground behaviour and self sufficiency is out there.

    If you want an insight into Jim Jones and his cult I highly recommend the book “Cult City”. Jones, his supporters (which included the very very unsavoury Harvey Milk, Rosalind Carter and almost all Democrats) and his followers were all rabid leftists. Jones’ cult grew because he successfully preyed on both poor people and stupid people. What is clear is that the mass murder at Jonestown was inevitable.

    I see contemporary manifestations of the cult of Jones in Greta, Extinction Rebellion, the Greens…in fact all progressive ideology.

    That rectum whisperer, the bird, whatever he be termed, struck me as a sociopath. Went way beyond the point of challenging assumed entitlement ( as was suggested by some). Seemed to enjoy causing irritation/ psychological harm. Perhaps he wasn’t breast fed as a child. Was all exacerbated by Centrelink not paying him the other day or something.

    Nothing bothered me more than when I was in North Asia years ago and just about every local I came across assumed I was another American. Or they didn’t now the difference. New South Wales is in Texas right(?) Along with that came all the expectations that I assumed myself above the local people, had my head up my own arse, bathing in the sunshine beaming from thereof…all that. Plenty of people in that part of the world blame the US (probably rightly so) for all their issues.

    I also am subject to a shiver when somebody that has recently become an Australian Citizen, whose command of the King’s English has a long way to go- breaks into a chanting of “ozzie, ozzie, ozzie…oi, oi, oi” combined with this weird, rapid jutting hand movement with the index finger pointed into the air, at 45 degrees from the horizontal.

    With the retinue of twits running the show in the state and nationally these days, I sort of want to go hide when somebody mentions Australia or Australian.

    No, it’s not. It might be contestable on the grounds that the nature of a particular industry or workplace does not require mandatory vaccination as a Public Health matter. But, it is not illegal in Australia.

    Joy Reid and Stephen Colbert suggest that Donald Trump supporters are in a “Jim Jones” era “death cult” because of their Covid vaccine skepticism.

    Wow Jonestown was an hysterical mob, ginned up, terrified and bullied into thinking they were in imminent danger

    twostix that reminds me of one of Mark’s lame pics from a while back – it was a sign about Gilligan’s Island and I think a reference to climate change, with the caption that they always listened to the perfessor. And then someone added underneath: “they didn’t ever get off the island.”

    Jonestown was a matter of risk and obedience.

    The risk was that because of the government acting rashly, it said the entire people were now facing a calamity. The obedience was the very same government determined that nobody, not man, woman or child, would be allowed to make their own decision about how to face the supposed coming calamity themselves. The decision was made for them, at the point of a gun that, for the good of society that they must all drink the Kool-aid. “All in this together”, “don’t be selfish”.

    Jonestown as a matter of government ginned up mob behaviour and “there’s only one possible way out of this – our way” is extremely apt to this situation.

    It also has to be considered how he will react when his leftists friends attack him for hosting the cat. Monty has a family and a business to support and there is no way he will be able to stick to his promises re the cat once threats arrive.

    That is probably gilding the lily; my experience of lefties is they don’t think they’re perfect just that they are better, morally and in every sense then anyone who disagrees with them. That sense of superiority invests all of their causes, most of which have been concocted merely so their sense of superiority can be manifest, with a moral imperative which brooks no contradiction as in the science is settled with alarmism or it’s not settled but evolving when their pronouncements come back to bite them on their arses as with the chunk virus.

    Can’t recall if the anti-viral therapy now being pursued vigorously in view of the palpable failure of the vaccines has been discussed on this blog.

    If you can hold your nose while reading this transcript – the conversation with Fauci by the CSIS on June 17 is incredibly important.

    The “science” is now recognising the efficacy of Ivermectin. As a result, Merck, Pfizer & Roche have now got production of their versions of Iver underway. The US government has lightened their load by contributing $3.2 billion for development!

    If they won’t let us have Ivermectin – we may have to stomach this hypocrisy and extortion by accepting their Ivermectin Light.

    Greg Hunt has preordered plenty. I often think Hunt is the only one in the cabinet who understands what’s going on.

    Yes. Just in case my point was missed, it’s a planned Jonestown on a massive scale by the elites, globalists, Davos, however you want to label them. Which is why they are getting out in front labelling opponents as Jonestown. It may also be a sign that they are meeting more resistance than expected.

    Can you please tell us what the lotto numbers are going to be?

    Here’s the thing. Looking at the actual data, it is clear that cases have exploded *after* the lockdowns. And the tightening of the lockdowns made it worse still.

    Of course, you deny this and come up with some mythical and arbitrary severity that it needed to be at some arbitrary date. But you have no evidence for this. Nor do you have any evidence that, overall around the world (country by country, state by state, city by city) lockdowns have worked.

    Why isn’t everybody in Sweden dead Terry? Why isn’t everybody in Tanzania dead Terry? Belarus? Florida? South Dakota?

    Basically, you took a position 18 months ago that lockdowns were a good idea. Since then, no amount of evidence demonstrating that they have been a catastrophic failure has changed that position because you’re both stupid and a bad person. And the innocent people – the masked children, the failed business owners, the vaccine injured – have suffered because of your stupidity, arrogance and cruelty.

    And Monty’s too.

    I have no idea how you can look at the mirror each morning.

    Afraid not. The Vic deaths almost all belong to Scotty Mengelson and the incompetent Richard Colbeck. They just let the virus rip through the private aged “care” sector for which they were and still are totally responsible.

    And Dan’s proper lockdowns have allowed Vic to avoid the disaster that has befallen NSW as a result of Glad the Loudhailer’s incompetence.
