    On 16 December 1929, New South Wales Police drew their revolvers and shot into a crowd of locked-out miners in the New South Wales town of Rothbury in Australia, killing a 29-year-old miner, Norman Brown, and injuring approximately forty-five miners. The incident became known as the Rothbury affair or the Rothbury riot, and is described as the “bloodiest event in national industrial history.”[1

    It’s hard to have sympathy anymore Steve, when over 80% are taking the jab because they belive Jab Macht Frei.

    And any adult with half a brain should be wary of being injected with an untested genetic modifying substance by climate zealots who want to rid the world of 2 billion people and bring in the great reset.

    Thesis Time .

    Stocks and the Aussie.. What else?

     

    Here’s where I’m heading. Currently the US market is muted because of Dementia’s fuck-up in Afghanistan. The market certainly hasn’t collapsed but there’s been an re-appraisal that Uncle Sam is in a spot of bother.

    Hear me out, because I actually perceive this to be a positive for stocks – at least short term. If Dementia’s poll numbers are collapsing, there’s a reduced chance the moron will be able to get his economically destructive policies through the Congress and made into law.

    In other words,  for a large part, it remains the Orange Oaf’s economy. Yea, yea, I know Dementia can do damage through executive orders, but he’s done as much as he can on that score. By and large, it remains Trump’s economy and we’re now heading to the midterms. Good luck Dems….at least that’s how things will be perceived by the market. Generally, the market thinks thinks that midterms will go the GOP’s way, which means Dementia is locked up in the White House basement until 2024 if he hasn’t died before hand, in which case a despised VP will take over.

     

    Meanwhile, the Fed will remain accommodating far longer than in the past. Now read this:

     

    It comes from here:

    https://cspicenter.org/blog/waronscience/why-covid-19-is-here-to-stay-and-why-you-shouldnt-worry-about-it/

     

    “Conclusion

    The pandemic is on its way out, but SARS-CoV-2 is here to stay. Fortunately, as everyone develops immunity to it (whether through vaccination or natural infection), it will soon no longer be a major problem anymore. The virus will continue to circulate, but much less than during the pandemic and, even when people are infected, the infection will typically be mild. In the future, almost everyone will get infected for the first time during their childhood, which is harmless and will protect them against severe illness when they are reinfected.15 The virus will continue to mutate and some of those mutations will favor immune evasion, but while this will allow it to infect people who have already been infected or vaccinated more easily, immunity should continue to protect against severe forms of the disease, thanks in particular to the role played by T-cells. This is likely what happened with other human coronaviruses, which are already endemic and typically cause a cold in the people they infect. To the extent that immune evasion occurs, it will be very gradual and the fact that most people will be infected every few years will update their immunity, ensuring that subsequent reinfections will also be mild. The most vulnerable people, whose immune system doesn’t work very well and could use some help to be ready in case of infection, can get a vaccine booster from time to time. The virus will still kill people, as the flu does, but it will never cause the same amount of disruption again. The hardest part of what lays ahead may be to convince people who have been traumatized by the pandemic that it’s over and that restrictions are no longer necessary.”

    If I’m right and this dude is proven right, the market is going to have a massive spike going into Xmas. That fixer-upper you always wanted on the Amalfi Coast or the South of France overlooking to the Med could be yours.

    Um, nope.  The government are the ones who allowed the TGA to ban ivermectin and HCQ.  They’re entirely culpable.  I just wish we had US law, where you can sue for actual and punitive damages.  A few billion buck payouts would be a nice way to get their attention.

    How did the government arrive at that decision?

    From the Quadrant:

    A Total Lack of Therapeutic Perspective

    <<Dr. Julian Elliott is the Executive Director of the National COVID Clinical Evidence Taskforce, a body that advises policymakers and has been staunchly opposed to the use of ivermectin as an early treatment for COVID-19.

    Frustrated and at a loss to understand why a considerable and growing body of evidence in favour of the cheap, off-patent medication is being not merely ignored but actively rejected, Dr Phillip M. Altman, a veteran of the drug-testing and appraisal industry, wrote to Dr Elliott to demand “revised recommendations for the use of ivermectin within 14 days”. >>

    Dr Altman’s letter is in the article.

    I wonder if he encouraged said person to take the jab? I certainly don’t wish neighbour any harm & hope he recovers but these people have access to the same information I can find so it is up to them.

    I am beginning to think the jabbed are beginning to realise their error but will continue to lash out at the unjabbed, sort of I made a mistake so join me you bad people.

    I don’t think Steve trickler would be trying to convince anyone to get the climate saving death jab.

    However, I have absolutely no sympathy for those that took it.

    It shows a lack of character, a lack of consideration for their nation and the freedom of their fellow countrymen.

    Taking it has appealed to the lowest characteristics of humans and those that possess those qualities have only themselves to blame.

    I just don’t give a shit.

    And that’s why I hold people like Notafan up as an example.

    She had people virtually screaming at her not to do it, gave her all the reasons, but hysterics got the better of her.

    Google ‘founder’ admits he created revenge site against estranged wife

    <<Scott Hassan, 51, who wrote much of the original code that powers the search giant, is embroiled in a nasty divorce battle that has raged for seven years and involves millions of dollars, claims of treating his children unfairly — and even a shocking online revenge campaign.

    His ex wife, Allison Huynh, a senior research fellow at Stanford University’s Robotics Laboratory, claims Hassan is withholding a fortune that her attorney claims she is legally entitled to.

    “In 2018, the [couple’s] estate was valued at $1.8 billion and [Hassan] wanted to give her a minuscule fraction,” Huynh’s attorney Pierce O’Donnell claimed in a statement to The Post. “His court position is that she gets nothing: Zero, zip, nada. Every settlement conference, he’s reduced his offer. I haven’t seen that in my 45-year-long career. He’s trying to pull off the ultimate dirty trick on his wife and three teenage children.”

    But as divorce settlement proceedings are scheduled to start Monday in San Jose, Calif., Hassan is embroiled in a much less prestigious online endeavor.

    After being accused by his ex, he has admitted to launching the site earlier this year, seeding it with links to positive articles written about his ex — but also links to court documents from three embarrassing lawsuits that involve her.>>
