Shock resignation: Deputy Premier John Barilaro quits
Report comment
“In 2021, division, fear and hatred have happened overnight with the weak minded happy to embrace it all. Such people have always walked amongst us and have now emerged triumphantly and unashamedly, backed by Government actions.”
That is amongst the saddest revelations I have witnessed in this debacle. My own family are all double vaxxed ( except my husband), but they accept and understand our decision. They know my background and background in research & don’t doubt that my risk analysis is possibly correct. Their decisions are based on work and education requirements.
I am not all that sure that this understanding will extend to friends and others in my circle as they are gradually aware of our unvaccinated status. I imagine that many will avoid an argument since they know that our decision will not be frivolous or uninformed.
We are lucky in that regard. Many are not able to argue their position effectively and will bear the brunt of fear and anger.
Even so, I am fully aware that historical precedents, such as the Holocaust, are still a forewarning of possible consequences – as wild as that may seem.

Bloody hell. Israelis are really getting shafted with these pretend “vaccines”. It’s a God damn horror show over there.
I read that around 2 million have lost there fully vaxxed status and now need yet another jab to keep that bullshit vax passport current. FMD. Bitch Chant like many other CHO’s / CMO’s want to follow their lead. I find it unfathomable and provides yet another reason to despise the MSM and all the press whores and should be exposing this to the greater population. Nearly all are worthy of criminal prosecution and time in the dock. No f*cking excuses for that lot.
I wonder how many people have breakfast shows on their TV this morning? How many will watch the MSM news at 6 o’clock? Tuning into talk back radio? People that do thinking they are getting factual news are what I consider the mushroom class. Kept in the dark and fed shit.
Getting them to switch it off, much like some of my friends who are glued to it, is not easy. I am at the stage where I simply do not give a toss if offence is caused talking about the scam. Looking forward to catching up with a mate who is a nurse at major Perth hospital in the near future. If he doesn’t know about Klaus, the W.E.F- 201, Fauci -NIH, CDC backflips, Bill Gates and his financial involvement in the patents and promotion of these jabs, VAERS, MHRA ( UK); the massive hospital admission rates of those jabbed, the huge numbers of doctors and nurses worldwide warning about the dangers of these jabs and losing their employment, the flawed PCR testing and false positives, 99.9x survival rate….the list goes on, the discussion will either be short because “conspiracy” HA! or it will be fruitful.
If he dismisses it without getting off his backside and taking a look for himself, I’ll be straight out in saying he is a member of the mushroom class and should refrain on giving advice to ANYONE on the matter of “vaccines”. If he takes offence, two words will be “get f*cked” There should be zero tolerance for excuses given from anyone in his profession to be so ignorant on these matters.
If that screws the friendship over, so be it. The reality is he will not have a leg to stand on in dismissing this scam due to the fact that it’s all in the public domain and the evil players in the game have all this now in plain sight for all to see, if one chooses to look it up. The wankers are not even hiding it.
God help us all and the Pope can drop dread…..the evil bastard is leading so many people astray, you’ve got to wonder if he is possessed by Satan himself.

Will it be the Footballers not the Lawyers who will save us?
1st october 2021.
I no longer have any faith that the lawyers will be able to save us. There have been promises galore in the last 18 months but I’m not aware that there have been many victories worth cheering about.
The problems are numerous (as I explained in a recent video entitled ‘Nobody is coming to save us’.
But look at what is happening with the footballers.
At the moment, professional players who play an international match are banned from training or playing matches for 10 days after returning from playing an international match in a red list country.
Just how they are supposed to keep fit and in touch is beyond me.
The clubs don’t like this rule very much. And it’s not difficult to see why. If you’ve just paid tens of millions for a player, it isn’t terribly jolly to know that if he is picked to play for his country he can’t play for his club for 10 days.
I would imagine that some clubs might be reluctant to release players with this rule in place.
So, the Government has suggested lifting the ban and forcing players to quarantine in a secured private residence or hotel with 24 hour security. The players would be permitted no guests or visitors other than representatives from Public Health England. What fun. Meals would be placed outside their room door. Players would have to use individual, private transport to go to training and games.
However, there is a catch.
This only applies to players who have been double jabbed against covid-19.
Those players who are un-jabbed will still have to carry on under the old system.
And this is where the problem appears.
First, this system will identify the players who have chosen not to take the jab.
And that, of course, is a breach of confidentiality.
Second, the big problem is that in the Premier League almost two thirds of football clubs have less than half of their players fully vaccinated.
In other words, the great majority of professional footballers have sensibly chosen not to be jabbed.
They’ve seen what has happened to other sports players.
So what happens now?
Will the Government roll over and get rid of the daft rules which affect footballers?
Or will they stick to their guns and create huge problems for players and clubs – and annoy millions of spectators?
Either way, attention will be drawn to the stupidity of the jabbing rules.
And, as I said in the title, I think this could result in a serious victory for the truth, the science and common sense.
And it will be a significant result obtained more speedily than anything the lawyers can offer us.

Yes Vicki Goebbels would be very happy. It is so sad to see ones we care about carrying on this way. I don’t blame anyone being frightened but to rush in for something that doesn’t do what in the rational meaning of the word says it is supposed to do. I’m immuno-compromised at the moment and into the foreseeable future and can’t afford the risk of either vaccine (coof coof) even if they did work as the side effects are the problem. Never had the flu and don’t get vaxxed for it. Had the jab for other things. The blatant lying of politicians and health professionals is overlooked, circular logic and nodding heads to the fore. I fear a lot will be so embarrassed not being able to admit they were taken in they will never see their friends and family again.

Commercial FM is painful to listen to, most stations play only three songs in constant repetition, Chinese water torture is a perfect description.
I listen to a local FM community station in Perth, Curtin Radio, and they play a mix of music mainly from the ’60s to the ’90s which I like, you can see the log of their music played in the last hour or so here –
I don’t listen on Saturday, that’s all country and western music which doesn’t interest me. I don’t want to hear some bloke moaning because his missus left him, his dog died and his ute has a flat tyre, there’s enough misery in the world already so there’s no need to add to it.

On EVs:
REALITY CHECK: At a neighborhood BBQ I was talking to a neighbor, a BC Hydro Executive. I asked him how that renewable thing was doing. He laughed, then got serious
“If you really intend to adopt electric vehicles, you have to face certain realities.” “For example, a home charging system for a Tesla requires 75 amp service. The average house is equipped with 100 amp service. On our small street (approximately 25 homes), the electrical infrastructure would be unable to carry more than three houses with a single Tesla each. For even half the homes to have electric vehicles, the system would be wildly over-loaded.
This is the elephant in the room with electric vehicles. Our residential infrastructure cannot bear the load.”
So, as our genius elected officials promote this nonsense, not only are we being urged to buy these things and replace our reliable, cheap generating systems with expensive new windmills and solar cells, but we will also have to renovate our entire delivery system! This later “investment” will not be revealed until we’re so far down this dead end road that it will be presented with an ‘OOPS…!’ and a shrug.
Eric test drove the Chevy Volt at the invitation of General Motors and he writes, “For four days in a row, the fully charged battery lasted only 25 miles before the Volt switched to the reserve gasoline engine.” Eric calculated the car got 30 mpg including the 25 miles it ran on the battery. So, the range including the 9-gallon gas tank and the 16 kwh battery is approximately 270 miles.
It will take you 4.5 hours to drive 270 miles at 60 mph. Then add 10 hours to charge the battery and you have a total trip time of 14.5 hours. In a typical road trip your average speed (including charging time) would be 20 mph.
According to General Motors, the Volt battery holds 16 kwh of electricity. It takes a full 10 hours to charge a drained battery. The cost for the electricity to charge the Volt is never mentioned, so I looked up what I pay for electricity.
I pay approximately (it varies with amount used and the seasons) $1.16 per kwh. 16 kwh x $1.16 per kwh = $18.56 to charge the battery. $18.56 per charge divided by 25 miles = $0.74 per mile to operate the Volt using the battery. Compare this to a similar size car with a gasoline engine that gets only 32 mpg. $3.19 per gallon divided by 32 Mpg = $0.10 per mile.
The gasoline powered car costs about $25,000 while the Volt costs $46,000 plus. So the Government wants us to pay twice as much for a car, that costs more than seven times as much to run, and takes three times longer to drive across the country.

‘Wall Street may be on the verge of an uncharacteristically painful quarter.
Wharton finance professor Jeremy Siegel, who’s known for his positive market forecasts, is sounding the alarm on the market’s ability to cope with inflation.
“We’re headed for some trouble ahead,” he told CNBC’s “Trading Nation” on Friday. “Inflation, in general, is going to be a much bigger problem than the Fed believes.”
Siegel warns there are serious risks tied to rising prices.
“There’s going to be pressure on the Fed to accelerate its taper process,’” he said. “I do not believe that the market is prepared for an accelerated taper.”
His cautious shift is a clear departure from his bullishness in early January. On Jan. 4 on “Trading Nation,” he correctly predicted the Dow would hit 35,000 in 2021, a 14% jump from the year’s first market open. The index hit an all-time high of 35,631.19 on August 16. On Friday, it closed at 34,326.46.
According to Siegel, the biggest threat facing Wall Street is Federal Reserve chair Jerome Powell stepping away from easy money policies much sooner than expected due to surging inflation.
“We all know that a lot of the levity of the equity market is related to the liquidity that the Fed has provided. If that’s going to be taken away faster, that also means that interest rate hikes are going to occur sooner,” he noted. “Both those things are not positives for the equity market.”

Sort of, but I don’t think she knew if she was supporting or not supporting anything. Just being told what to say and do, waiting for her cues. Obedient to someone or other. But a nice lady. And quite nicely spoken and ladylike.
I think Morrison pushed her to resign because of the vaccine mandate and bullying stuff she was saying and scaring people who would normally always vote LNP. Next Federal election, say March, he would be aligned with her government’s authoritarianism. He would lose the election. She had to go.
Andrews is a different kettle of fish. No empathy. A bland unfeeling face.

I’d say this is in Gleeson’s next instalment:
Why Clive Palmer won’t get Covid-19 jab
Clive Palmer has declared that he will not be vaccinated against Covid-19, saying he would ‘not give into tyranny’.

Candy, do you think the new bloke is going to be any different in that regard?
If ‘Klaus Schwab’ or whoever wants Morrison as PM next election, then that is what will happen. It’s a puppet show.

Axl R, I don’t know who Klaus Schwab is. My take is the numbers. PM Morrison’s election is coming up soon and NSW is very important and if the folks in NSW find Gladys a kind of copycat of Andrews it will be reflected in the voting pattern.
Not that I think Scott Morrison likes Perrottet’s views at all. I don’t think he takes kindly to Catholics at all. But it will suffice to win LNP voters back so it won’t hinder his re-election. He simply has to take focus off vaccine passports and people threatened of losing their livelihood if they don’t have the injections. Gladys had to go for him to get re-elected.

OK. Might be best to keep it that way.

I wish to lay a charge of murder against Anthony Fauci and Dr. Peter Daszak.
To Whom do I speak to have these charges laid?

Candy, start here. From all the lunatics mouths. Disgusting creatures. All of worthy of a noose. Check out the official World Economic Forum channel on Sussietube. You’ll get to know Schwab very quickly.
Surprise surprise surprise. The cowards have turned the comments off. I wonder bloody why?
Check out this bullshit. Goebbels-esque.

Candy,
Klaus Schwab talks about a “Davos universe”.
He is the most public face of the men behind The Great Reset.
He wants your family dead.

I see. The reset is a cult. The video is rapid with fast changing images and nothing substsantial being said. A hypnotic effect.
Prince Charles is into it even. From the security of not far from being King. He shows no signs if wanting to reset that though.

Scroll alert. This music is not for everyone. Techno, with various instruments played to achieve the outcome. Nice work. One more to follow afterwards.
Good fun.
