    I’m almost out of here, I can see why Sinc gave it away, without massive moderation the site is just becoming more horrible every day. If the madmen who hate almost everybody can’t be got rid of then it’s just not worth my time to read comments. I’ll lurk for a few more days but I think it’s over, looks like there is no resurrection for the Cat, just a dead cat bounce.

    Bear in mind scomo has a majority of one with several alarmist wankers in his ranks plus possum man all of whom could cross the floor since, unlike the liars the LNP does not kill traitors and regards such traitors as being part of that idiot little johnnie’s broad church.

    Authorities: Comply with our directions and we can ratchet back on the restrictions

    also authorities

    Your individual compliance makes no difference to our procedures and we will continue to treat you all as filthy, filthy proles.

    Still more authorities: Why are people not as compliant as we want and dont trust we are working in their best interests?

    We are ruled over by second rate mongs and “good germans”.

    Indeed, ‘mole, but the real point is that a great society with great people do not ban a mother from her cancer-stricken daughter whether the mother is “double-jabbed” or not. She doesn’t have the virus and she isn’t going to catch it from her daughter (and vice versa).

    Kev, is this fair dinkum?

    Training regimes at the Australian Defence Force Academy were adjusted. Instructors were forbidden to raise their voices at young cadets to protect their self-esteem. Crusty old drill sergeants were dispatched to re-education camps.
    Red marker pens were banned as it was deemed to be too aggressive a colour for marking papers.

    Male and female quarters were to include an ‘undecided’ section in each barrack block.

    When a government thinks it should be influencing people, when indeed the reverse should be happening, we must remove that government.
    It is not our right, it is our duty.
    When a government forces it’s will by point of a gun on it’s own citizens, it is at war with it’s people and must be crushed.

    Don’t know if this has been posted here yet – picked it up over at Discordant Cats posted by John of Mel. There is an article in the latest Spectator on an organisation comprised of Australian doctors – the Covid Medical Network. Website –

    covidmedicalnetwork.com

    Apparently if needed you can track down a doctor there who will prescribe Ivermectin for you, if you are looking for that. You will also find a link to the Great Barrington Declaration, signed by several thousand doctors and other health professionals. A must read for anybody not convinced that we are facing the worst pandemic evah.

    If people want to read the Spectator article but can’t find it, or get onto the discordant Cats site to get it, let me know and I will post a link in a separate comment.

    Back in the days of the Vietnam war a group of newly inducted Nashos were in their third day at Pukupunyal and a Second Lieutenant was screaming at them. One of the new recruits broke down into sobbing tears.

    “What are you blubbering about, arsehole?” yelled the officer.
    “You treat us like shit, Sir,” cried the new recruit.
    “Like shit!” screamed the officer.
    “See that guy over there” barked the officer, pointing to a regular army grunt who was passing. “He is shit. How dare you compare yourself to shit.”

    Gools, you told us how you were suffering shocking head pain due to brain tumor and led all of us to believe there wasn’t much time to go. This was about 4 years ago and unless you’re transmitting here from beyond the grave (which is possible, but very, very unlikely) you’re still alive. How so?

    First we had Our Glad downplaying the role of a free press yesterday by dismissing a reporter’s question with “Respect this Press Conference!”.
    Now we have HapHazzard saying he and the CHO are too busy to be bothered by irritating questioning.

    There have been fiery exchanges during a parliamentary inquiry examining the Coalition’s response to the Covid-19 lockdown, with Health Minister Brad Hazzard accusing the committee chair of politicising the crisis and preventing officials from attending to the pandemic.

    Mr Hazzard took aim at committee chair David Shoebridge, a Greens MP, as he probed a line of questioning surrounding the advice provided to Premier Gladys Berejiklian in relation to sending HSC students back to school.(The Oz)

    Does Shoebridge want the kids back in school because he’s afraid the green indoctrination is wearing off? Or does he want them to stay home so they don’t learn anything and therefore become Green voters?

Their latest bullshit says we are at a code red situation where AGW is going to destroy the world in 10 years. Here’s what the IPCC bastards said in 1989:

    U.N. Predicts Disaster if Global Warming Not Checked
    PETER JAMES SPIELMANN June 30, 1989

    UNITED NATIONS (AP) _ A senior U.N. environmental official says entire nations could be wiped off the face of the Earth by rising sea levels if the global warming trend is not reversed by the year 2000.

    Coastal flooding and crop failures would create an exodus of ″eco- refugees,′ ′ threatening political chaos, said Noel Brown, director of the New York office of the U.N. Environment Program, or UNEP.

    He said governments have a 10-year window of opportunity to solve the greenhouse effect before it goes beyond human control.

    If she “understands the urgency to reduce CO2 emissions” it means she’s rubber room material. Did she learn nothing as CoS to Abbott?

    There’s still nothing much happening. Like sea ice: Antarctica is well above average, but the Arctic is below average – exactly what you’d expect from the current phase of the 60 year AMO cycle. Which is at peak. But why is Antarctic high? That’s much more interesting than the Arctic which they always wail about.

    I’m watching the vid that Steve T put up this arvo. Dr Peter Mccullough being interviewed on Odysee 4/4/21.

    At around the 14 minute mark he begins discussing the number of deaths in the USA reported to VAERS – the adverse reaction reporting system.

    He said that as of now the CDC has verified that 11,000 Americans have died after having the vaccine and that in the last two weeks a Federal Lawsuit has been filed in which the number of deaths following the vaccine is determined to be 45,000. (VAERS is a self-report system, the records of which are usually reported by doctors and nurses because along with other information is needed the batch number of the vaccine that was administered. Dr Mccullough goes on to say that the CDC calls the submitter of each VAERS report to confirm, which means that these numbers have been verified).

    According to Mccullough, analysis of the data shows that 86% of the time there is no other cause of death – these people, he said, walked in to have the vaccine and 50% died with 48 hours and 80% died within a week.

    He said there have been 30,000 hospitalisations and 2800 cases of myocarditis.

    Then he says that there has been no transparency and the only thing people are hearing is “take the shot.”

    The journalist doing the interview said that she used to work for Fox and, back in April, 3000 people had died up to that time according to the CDC. But her boss told her not to report it. She said that she left Fox because there was an avoidance of putting out any facts that might undermine promotion of the vaccine. To which Mccullough replied that is called Entrusted News Initiative and that back in December the BBC announced that it was going to do everything to promote getting the vaccine and squash vacci
