    I love the way all those leftists raging against “the man” back when can now find their own songs appropriate.

    Going back in time and discovering all the old stuff has been a fun exercise. Loving it. No plans on stopping now.

    I got subjected to JJJ ( shit station with dickhead hosts ) the other day. It is muck the music coming out today. Not all, but most is garbage. Border line intolerable.

    I’ve ditched commercial FM stations along time ago…. the constant repetition is equivalent of Chinese water torture.

    My previous job has taken me into the belly of the beasts. Some of the most pretentious wankers on Earth work in those joints. Absolutely no excuses for playing the same songs over the course of a week; over and over and over and over… and over again.

    It is ridiculous.

    You should have seen the chuck out the ABC studios did in East Perth a few years back. Enough equipment ( enough to set up a radio station on your own ) that would have cost a motza. All perfectly good.

    But hey, make a request for new stuff to keep the taxpayer funds flowing.

    For those who think commercial radio stations crap thank your lucky stars you dont have to have ABC childrens station 22 who excels at padding all  day. You need a billion so you can say ” ABC kids”” ABC kids”” repeated over and over again then we have We are Australian year after year. Then there are the Droners for the sight impaired their voices as expressionless  and  dead obviously taken from the ABC news hit job unit and so far   removed from the story as to kill it stone dead.  Presumably kids grow up and go to school, and another batch for indoctrination come along so they can get away with it.

    WEll that makes more sense than what Cohenite told me that the PM of Australia sits around the table and haggles commodity prices and tells the people whose full time job is to get contracts that they have got a too low price for our gas exports

     

    The only gas contracts that have caused us trouble were the ones Gillard/ALP signed. Labor was warned that if they exported more gas we could have shortages in Australia. Well Gillard signed more gas contracts.

    “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.

    Even with a pre-existing heart problem, or AIDS or many other conditions, people get the flu injection and have no troubles. For years and years that has been the case.

    With the COVID injections things are much dicier because it is a rush job. Some people are going to be unlucky and who knows what the long term effect is of two vaccines in a year plus boosters.

    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.

    Evil lurks is many places and it certainly does in the Vatican and medical institutions globally.

    The horror show continues, for now.

    A very very busy man with six young children. Looks a bit thin and needs a new hair style etc.  A man with a very big family and not enough time comes to mind.

    The new deputy would be Stuart Ayres married to Marise Payne who is nearly 20 years older than him.  No children.    Quite a difference in the two men?

    Doc Coleman:

    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.

    Classic FM now has a playlist. 3 hours of Baroque is bad enough without the repetition of ‘much loved favourites’.

     

    Triple M hobart decided it was a great idea to play summer nights from Grease at the same time of day, every bloody day. Why would they troll their audience, made up mostly of tradesmen, like that? I got the feeling they were trying to boost the female listeners and get rid of the blokes. Well, it worked.
