    Look at this. Just fucking look at it. Pancreatic cancer where your final weeks are uncontrolled by pain medication will hopefully find you, Higgins. The Hun:

    A former Victorian magistrate who was engaged to a court clerk 45 years his junior has broken his silence on their controversial relationship almost two years after her death.

    Rodney Higgins, 71, defended his decision to claim Ashleigh Petrie’s $180,000 superannuation payout even though she had bequeathed the money to her mother.

    Ms Petrie was 23 years old when she died after running in front of a car in Metung in October 2019. The incident followed media reports about the couple’s engagement.

    Speaking to A Current Affair on Monday, Mr Higgins claimed authorities believed he deserved 100 per cent of Ms Petrie’s death benefit.

    Mr Higgins told the program he believed his and Ms Petrie’s seven-month relationship had been true love.

    Elderly manipulator grooms vulnerable mentally ill younger woman. Gets so far into her head that she dies. Elderly manipulator then moves straight back in with the previous victim while taking much younger woman’s cash, which was intended to go elsewhere.

    Elderly manipulator then deflects blame. Where have I seen that pattern before?

    The shit thing he dead was contest the will, it should have been thrown out of court.

    I know a few gals that buy healing crystals. I suggest you get in touch.

    Contesting the will was simply greedy. Let’s not kid ourselves. Both parties viewed the relationship as transactional. What would have she got if he tripped over a gutter and broke his neck? I mean, she got inside his chakras? As you would say.

    Not defending him, it wasn’t the will, but her super death benefit, but as her ‘partner’ he had every right. It seems she had access to his accounts and was raiding them to give mommy some money (amount not stated). In earlier accounts he said he wanted some of her ashes and her mother refused, so he was going the money route to get mommy to talk to him.

    Contesting the will was flinging the curtains open, and openly giving a giant middle finger to the young woman’s family.

    Sure the relationship was transactional, but only to the point a damaged 23 year old could make it. This is not a Gabi Grecko/Geoff Edelsten situation. Her body wasn’t even cold when Higgins (magistrate, not professor) went straight back to the ex and started composing his claim for her super.

    If I lived anywhere near Higgins (Nakatomi Tower, hopefully) I’d scrawl the following on his front door in lipstick:

    Just a question:

    When one gets tested, and returns a positive result, is there any treatment recommended or do you merely get told to stay home and isolate.
    If the latter, then this is madness, given there are at least two useful treatments available for early stage virus infection.
    You might think this is all intended to prolong the virus and fear. And you might be right.

    I also thought that the “cases” would be under medical supervision and if not then it’s obviously a case of medical negligence, particularly in the cases of the 27 year old who died and the twin removalists’ mother.

    I love Ramirez drawing style, but he often indulges ‘da narrative’ too much.

    It is not surprising that the elites who have walked themselves into a corner over Covid are resorting to such scurrilous misdirection – painting people wary of this vaccine as anti-vaxxers (which has always referred to and currently connotes people who distrust all vaccines on quasi-scientific principle).

    But to look at the people around you and not see that this is a misdirect, and instead to play along with people who are content to make everyone else take risks so they can paper over their own bungling.

    Margolis and Cox have a brutally honest take on Michelle Obama. Holding the cake is a nice touch. It is like those photos taken a split second before something happens but in which pregnant instant you intuitively ‘see’ the event happening – that cake in Michelle Obama’s hands, you can already ‘see’ the mouth shooting down like an extensible organ and snatching it whole off the plate.

    TALLAHASSEE (CBSMiami) – The Office of Gov. Ron DeSantis announced that the Florida Board of Education could withhold the salaries of superintendents and school board members who defy the governor’s executive order prohibiting mask mandates.
    Here is the statement released to CBS4:

    “With respect to enforcing any financial consequences for noncompliance of state law regarding these rules and ultimately the rights of parents to make decisions about their children’s education and health care decisions, it would be the goal of the State Board of Education to narrowly tailor any financial consequences to the offense committed. For example, the State Board of Education could move to withhold the salary of the district superintendent or school board members, as a narrowly tailored means to address the decision-makers who led to the violation of law.

    “Education funding is intended to benefit students first and foremost, not systems. The Governor’s priorities are protecting parents’ rights and ensuring that every student has access to a high-quality education that meets their unique needs.”

    Secret polling guides Annastacia Palaszczuk’s pandemic decisions.
    Annastacia Palaszczuk has relied on secretive monthly polling of Queenslanders to help her decide on the scope and duration of Covid-19 restrictions since just after the pandemic began.

    Despite insisting border closures and lockdowns are based solely on health advice, Ms Palaszczuk’s office is receiving “waves” of focus group and polling research intended “to shape the government’s approach” and messaging for its strategy.

    The Australian reported last September, just weeks after the Premier flatly denied her government was polling on Covid-19 restrictions, that Ms Palaszczuk’s office had hired market research and polling company Ipsos Public Affairs to run a “COVID-19 Key Insights Project”. Ms Palaszczuk has since repeatedly refused to ­release the research.

    The Editor

    The Cairns Post

    Never before in the long history of the press have journalists and editors been told what they can and cannot print by the government of the day to such an enormous extent.

    Two examples – the name of a common, forty-year-old medicine is prohibited, and the raw data sources that show CO2 has not declined during Covid lockdowns are banned.

    This level of government control of the privately-owned media should send shivers down every journalist’s spine because it reduces them to the level of “content providers.”

    In George Orwell’s incredibly prophetic novel “1984” the main character, Winston Smith, works in the Ministry of Truth, where he changes old media stories to fit the current government narrative.

    That is the terrifying future facing all journalists – unless they suddenly develop the courage of our Great War and World War Two soldiers, sailors and airmen and fight back against this oppression.

    Trump, despite being (lower case) god, in this instance got done like a dinner. He should have sacked Fauci et al., and kept fighting for HCQ and the triple therapy of Ivermectin, Docycyline and Zine.

    Why did they wait so long to release the vaccines – Dr David Martin fingers Moderna – when the patents reveal that they already had them?

    Somewhere I read that the delay in rolling out was payback to Trump from big pharma which were were p1ssed off with him for reducing the price of medicines in the country – definitely, they were p1ssed off.

    So Biden, as always, was “their” man. (Really, it could have been anyone else, Dem or Rep, as long as it wasn’t Trump because he’d f*cked around with them.)

    And that scenario makes sense because it was only when Trump “lost” the election that, suddenly, announcements were made that the vaccines were ready for release.

    By that time, fear and panic had been whipped up across the country leading to draconian measures designed to bring about the Dems stealing the election and a huge push to get vaccinated, which was what Fauci wanted.

    I think we can safely say, Big Pharma, in bed with the Democrats and playing the long game with every other inhabitant of the cesspit.

    ps, good luck with your next shot🤞.

    Another day of wheelchair lotto commutes for the daily coffee in Perth. BOM radar doesn’t help much as it always looks the same. Just fire it up and head off in hope. Only caught out once so far which isn’t bad for this back to the 70s Perth winter.

    And if you’d bought this nice little beach house a year ago, you would have made a cool $1million just sitting:

    Cronkite, what do you think, if you own a beach house, do you sell it now?

    The old adage of always taking a profit doesn’t apply to beach houses; if you’re enjoying the house and its maybe bringing in a rental profit, keep it, raise money against it etc. You could do that and use the borrowings to short old ladies and pension funds as you shysters usually do.

    Give us a list of all the assassinations, calamities, disasters and pestilences which were not caused by the Jews.

    It’ll be a short fucking list

    Fake Canaanites

    There must be an entire eco-system of paranoia – all interconnected and where the slightest disturbance at one point reverberates even at even the furthest reaches – for ‘fake Canaanite’ to be a worthy bon mot</em.

    Rita Panahi has posted several tweets around this one – which, to her, is obviously the disgraceful scandal of the day…
    ——————-
    Fully vaccinated Sydney mum denied permission to enter Victoria to see her cancer-stricken daughter. She is willing to complete & pay for 2 weeks of quarantine.

    In a civilised society such cruelty would be universally abhorred.
    ——————-

    Note well that the Sky Right wouldn’t even report this if the “Sydney mum” was unvaccinated. That’s the extent of the spectrum-creep on the so-called ‘right’ of politics now. The moral premise from which these people launch their carefully chosen red-meat critiques is that it is TOTALLY civilised and not cruel at all to ban people from attending to their dying relatives.

    The latest COVID crap from Queensland:

    The cabbie in Cairns was infectious in the community for 10 days with the highly infectious delta variant.

    They conducted 4260 tests in Cairns in the last 24 hours and there were no positive tests.

    They locked down Cairns for 3 days 10 days after this guy was detected yet there are no positive cases.

    The delta variant is a dud!!!

    Who was the fool who said that, by 2000, Perth would be a ghost town, due to lack of water? Drowned in a puddle somewhere?

    If he dies he will count as a Covid death, presumably.

    Why do people who aren’t sick line up for hours to be ‘tested’?

    If dickheads would stop going and getting tested when they have a runny nose there’d be no covid19 “outbreaks” and nobody would care about it.
