    The government of Australia, by forcing the jab for movement between the states,by denying the right to leave the country, by imprisoning millions of healthy Australians and denying them the ability to work and feed themselves, tracking everything they do, stopping them seeing loved ones, to get married, to have funerals, while killing people with untested concoctions, have declared war on the Australian people.
    That’s as obvious as tits on a bull.

    Notice the complete lack of engagement our resident vaccinated ‘conservatives’ have on the monstrous mandating of vaccines from WA, to NSW to QLD?

    You know why?

    Because they quietly want it, they need you to be vaccinated. By force or not, whatever.

    Darkness creeps into their hearts as time goes on towards people who won’t wilt like they did.

    Thanks for that Nature link, Rosie. Answered a couple of my questions.

    Iceland’s COVID-19 results are limited by the fact that cases are occurring in a small and genetically homogeneous population compared with other countries, notes Palsson. But in some cases, that small sample size is also a strength, because it has led to detailed, population-wide data.

    and

    In Iceland, where the median age is 37 — relatively young compared with other wealthy nations — and patients have access to good health care, Stefánsson’s team found it to be 0.3%.

    Same median age as Australia, but a more homogenous population. Interesting stuff.

    And this, Calli. Find all the asymptomatic cases, and you dilute the fatalities and lower the CFR. The opposite is also obviously true.

    Iceland has tested a higher proportion of people than any other country (9,768 individuals), equivalent to 26,762 per million inhabitants the highest in the world (as a comparison, South Korea has tested 6,343 individuals)….

    Iceland’s higher rates of testing, the smaller population, and their ability to ascertain all those with Sars-CoV-2 means they can obtain an accurate estimate of the CFR and the IFR during the pandemic (most countries will only be able to do this after the pandemic).

    Let’s be very clear about what just happened with Afghanistan. It’s true, Trump had a conditional agreement to leave, but since the stolen election the Taliban has broken all the conditions set up with the previous administration. Trump would never have tolerated these fucking towelheads turning away from what they agreed. Moreover, it’s very likely the Taliban began to break the agreements because Trump was no longer there and they knew Hiden was a pigshit dumb coward who wouldn’t dare stand up to them.

    Would I call it a US disaster? Nope, it’s not. This is 100% a Hiden/Demonrat disaster and the Afghanis also own a percentage.
    This is all Hiden’s doing and no buck passing by this loser administration will change that.

    The sh*t show the Democrats staged at the confirmation hearings for Donald Trump’s Supreme Court nominee, Brett Kavanaugh, was a disgusting group denigration of the high office Democrats have been entrusted with.

    This was borne out again yesterday when Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Charles Grassley made a third criminal referral, this one against a second Kavanaugh accuser, Judy Munro-Leighton.

    Here is Grassley’s letter of referral to Attorney General Jeff Sessions and FBI Director Christopher Wray:

    Skanks who falsely accuse men of rape are doubly guilty: firstly for ruining the man’s life (see Rush, Jarratt, McLachlan, Diamond etc), but they also make it harder for genuine cases to gain traction. Of course the demorats and the left have never cared except if it provides political capital for them.

    FOX News Dirtbag Chris Wallace Tries to Blame Trump for Biden’s Afghanistan Debacle (VIDEO)

    In March 2009 Barack Obama reached out to the Taliban terrorist organization for peace talks.

    Joe Biden at the time told reporters “only 5% of the Taliban is incorrigible.”

    In August 2010 Barack Obama removed the Taliban from the national terror list.

    In May 2012 Barack Obama rewarded the Taliban terrorists with their own office in Qatar for peace talks.

    Also in May 2012 the Taliban bombed Kabul two hours after Obama announced peace talks with the terrorist group.

    In 2012 the Obama administration even paid for the Taliban peace office in Qatar.

    In 2013 Barack Obama secretly released five deadly Taliban prisoners from Gitmo in exchange for peace talks.

    In 2014 the Taliban officially released a statement on victory in Afghanistan 6 years into the Obama presidency.

    On Sunday FOX News host Chris Wallace blamed the Trump Administration for situation in Afghanistan.

    This is after years of Obama and Biden appeasing the Taliban, releasing their top operatives from prison and building them an office for peace talks in Qatar.

    BHP will shower its shareholders with a record $US2-a-share final dividend after lifting its annual underlying profit by a massive 88 per cent to $US17.1 billion.

    The company’s $US11.3 billion bottom line profit comes on a momentous day for the mining giant which also offloaded its $US15.4 billion petroleum business to Woodside, revealed it would scrap its problematic dual listing and would invest $US5.7 billion in its Jansen potash project in Canada.

    The $US2 final dividend brings shareholder returns for the year to $US15 billion after the company paid a $US1.01-a-share interim dividend in March.

    Not good news for those who pinned their faith in double-Pfizer… A pre-print suggests double-pfizer immunization produces antibodies good only for about six months (five after the second shot).

    “Non-immunization for a third time leaves senior citizens in mortal danger. Get vaccinated now.”

    Mortal danger?

    Get vaccinated now?

    These older Israelis are already vaccinated. Yet as Israel’s Covid wards, fill their prime minister is now more or less admitting that they are unprotected against the virus.

    A major preprint out of Japan from July 30 explains why.

    The researchers examined Pfizer vaccine-generated antibodies in more than 200 people and found that on average they fell to undetectable levels about 6.5 months after the first shot – or roughly five after they reach full vaccination.

    […] In other words, the Israel failure is happening right on schedule. Vaccine protection lasts months, not years. (Four months, give or take, since protection is limited the first month and likely negative the first week or two.)

    Thus Bennett’s desperate call for a third shot. But although the booster does seem to produce new antibodies, neither the Israeli government nor Pfizer nor anyone else can know whether it will reduce infections or deaths, either temporarily or permanently. NO ONE HAS CONDUCTED ANY CLINICAL TRIALS TO DETECT THESE ENDPOINTS OR TO EXAMINE THIRD SHOT SIDE-EFFECTS IN ANY DETAIL.

    Real Islam is a bit like real Socialism. Everybody has their own idea of what it is. I’m happy to leave both to others.

    “stay-at-home orders were “consistent with the maintenance of constitutional government”, “rationally connected” to the public health purpose and alternatives were not equally effective, he said”

    For years I’ve been against any form of a “Rights” statement for Australia. First, because I didn’t think we needed one – gee, didn’t we have rights, already?, – and second, because like many other Australians I worried that different minorities would use a Rights Statement against the majority.

    But the weaponisation of the Anti-Discrimination Boards – see Bill Leak et al., – disputes my faith in our system as the upholder of our democratic rights and freedoms as well as showing us that those minorities have already attained a “rights” process without the provision of a Statement of Rights. As well, our elected leaders have shown us that they’ll do nothing to restore to us the rights we thought we had, especially when in a pandemic, because it’s for the “greater good.”

    So, here we are. On the basis of health, it has been confirmed that we have no rights and the courts, at least in Victoria, it would seem agree.

    Haven’t got time to be here for a while, but I thought I might let you know that the only people who can cross state lines unjabbed are truckies.
    Me, and hundreds of thousand of others doing it daily.
    Your borders are not closed, and the unjabbed are going through them in their thousands, every day.
    Can you just stop whatever you are doing for a minute, take a breath and think about that and what that means.
    Really stop and think what that means, especially since it’s been happening since feb last year.
    Truckies do not have to be vaccinated.
