    Sydney braces for month of rain in one day
    ***
    Not dam-filling rain (h/t Tim Flannery)

    __________________________________

    As a young teen I left my home State and went to live in Sydney for the first time.

    Every day & every night, for two weeks, it rained.

    I’d never known that amount of water to fall from the sky down in the cold & GREEN south.

    Of course the day it stopped was my last free day, I started work then, and the next horror of Sydney hit me. The suffocating humidity.

    Sydney, great place to visit … if you luck out with the weather

    Come on mh. Surely they won’t do that. They may get some stern words from ScoMo. And then the cases will rise from 6 to 20 (with one death of a 120 year old) and ScoMo will send in the army and hand Palacechook a trillion dollars to keep the lockdowns going.

    But still. Stern words.

    The political and media establishment keep parroting the line that the Australian population must get up to a certain percentage of double vaccinations before they can let us go from our cages.
    With Pfizer vaccine effectiveness only lasting for six months, (if you are a believer), by the time we get there the first vaxxed will require vaccine boosters. So what if those people say no to their boosters, or there is an under-supply of boosters?

    ‘The Washington Post reports that the CDC and FDA are looking at data that suggests that Moderna’s COVID-19 vaccine may be linked to a higher risk of heart inflammation—also known as myocarditis and pericarditis—in young adults as compared to the Pfizer vaccine.

    The CDC and FDA review is reportedly based on data from Canada and is still being evaluated by scientific authorities, but two people familiar with the study told the Post that Moderna has been linked with increased cases of myocarditis, inflammation of the heart, and pericarditis, inflammation of the tissue around the heart. According to one of the newspaper’s sources, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, the Canadian report “indicates there might be a 2-½ times higher incidence of myocarditis in those who get Moderna compared with the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine.”

    But just say all States plus Fed committed to freedom after the vaccination target is reached. Then what will be the purpose of the quarantine camps being built? What is the criteria for who goes into the camps?

    Daily Tele:

    Special forces soldiers are preparing a legal class action over their treatment by Major General Paul Brereton during his inquiry into alleged war crimes in Afghanistan.

    Thirteen soldiers from the Special Air Service given notices to show cause why they should not be dismissed after the Brereton report came out have now been told there is not “sufficient information” for their cases to be referred to investigators.

    It is understood that in addition to the group’s challenge of the inquiry’s legitimacy in the high court they are planning individual cases over the way Major General Brereton and his inquiry teams interrogated soldiers.

    “We were told we did not need legal representation and were then not allowed to leave the room for hours at a time,” one special forces operative told The Daily Telegraph.

    It is understood soldiers broke down in tears as they were repeatedly harangued to produce evidence pointing to war crimes.

    “Then statements were mailed to soldiers living on the SAS base at Swanbourne naming the person making allegations against them,” he said. “These were people living next door to each other, it’s almost as though they wanted to set fire to the place.”

    Thirteen soldiers were issued with termination notices amid the fallout from the Afghan war crimes report. Picture: Department of Defence
    In November the Brereton report recommended 19 individuals be investigated by the Office of Special Investigations on the basis of “credible information” of war crimes. However, the information gathered by the inquiry does not meet the standards of evidence to be admissible in a court of law.

    Chief of the Defence Force Angus Campbell issued an apology to the Australian public when the report was issued. He did not respond to requests for a similar public apology to the 13 soldiers told last week that he is “not satisfied that there is sufficient information available to me to refer the matter” to investigators.

    When the report came out Prime Minister Scott Morrison also apologised and promised that “justice is provided and compensation is paid to the victims.”

    Greg was born and raised on the Mornington Peninsula where he currently resides with his wife Paula and two young children.

    Greg graduated from Melbourne University with First Class Honours in Law, and subsequently won a Fulbright Scholarship to complete a Masters of International Relations at Yale University.

    Throughout university and his time on a kibbutz in Israel he worked in warehouses, as a metal worker and as a fruit picker.

    After university Greg worked with Mallesons Stephen Jacques, before becoming Associate to the Chief Justice of the Federal Court.

    Are you concerned with the time he spent on a kibbutz, that he did a law degree at Melbourne, obtained a Fullbright scholarship at Yale, spent time as a fruit picker or finally that he worked at Mallesons?

    A female Afghan refugee using the name “Muskan” told India’s News18 on Saturday that Taliban fighters are raping both live women and the dead bodies of their victims.

    News18’s account described Muskan as a “girl” who left her job in Afghanistan and fled to New Delhi after “her life was threatened by a Jihadist group.” The article did not say exactly when she left Afghanistan.

    “When we were there, we received numerous warnings. If you go to work, you are under threat, your family is under threat. After one warning, they would stop giving any warning,” Muskan said.

    “They rape dead bodies too. They don’t care whether the person is dead or alive. Can you imagine this?” she added.

    Muskan claimed the Taliban is seizing women from “each household” in towns they conquered and planned a “horrible destiny” for any women suspected of working for the U.S.-supported Afghan federal government….

    Biden of course is an alarmist, probably the leading one in the world today, which should tell you all you need to know about the cult of alarmism. He is also a corpse which means he had better stay away from the talifucks.

    We don’t have a virus problem, we have a very big government problem.

    Yes, he has that common touch; a man of the people.

    Terry fuckwit is the one in the corner masturbating with a garlic chopper chanting “it will start to feel good soon”.

     

    All the previous pain can be explained away by having not done it hard/long enough yet.

    The pomgolians have abandoned lockdown and are having 100 deaths a day despite relatively high vaccination rates.

    We are locking down over under 100 hospitalizations a day.

     

    There is no path out of lockdown as long as we pretend no-one can die of the flu.

     

    Lockdown meme.

    How DARE YOU say that you did well, Cohenite./sarc off.

    One case, hard lockdown NZud says you’re wrong, but that’s a given.”

    Yeah, I do know, Gez.

    16 June = 1 case (Dover Heights limo driver); 17 June = 2nd case (Dover Heights limo driver’s wife); no lockdown.

    7 days later, Green Zone set up = Sydney LGA, Woollahra LGA, Waverley LGA. Not properly locked down; residents allowed to travel to and from Yellow Zone (rest of Greater Sydney) for work, residents from Yellow Zone allowed free access to and from Green Zone.

    Late August = coronavirus spread to all of NSW (circa 800+ new cases per day) and to all other Australian States and Territories plus New Zealand.

    [Footnote: Lots of UnZudders in Waverley LGA]

    “NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian says unvaccinated residents should be prepared to not be able to enjoy post-lockdown freedoms – whether government mandated or imposed by private organisations.”

    No coercion to undergo a medical procedure there at all!”

    Truly dreadful stuff.  Except when others are directly affected, as in medical or aged care, which can also be solved by quick testing, vaxx status shoud be a personal matter of individual decision making.  A ‘two-category’ citizenship based on vaxx status is unconscionable.

    <i>As I said earlier, the failure of Glad the Loudhailer to properly lock down there in June has allowed the coronavirus to spread throughout NSW and to the other States and Territories.</i>

    Hmmm. Just had a thought. Terry/Kerry, is someone moonlighting here?

    meh, sorry Gunner but Tim Pool’s too busy trying to stay on the side of, “I believe in The Jabs! Please Don’t Cancel Me!!!”

    Much like that person, Helen Dale on Lotus Eaters with Carl Benjamin.

    She trashes Australians as authoritarian arseholes & compliant prisoners, and in the same breath trashes them all again for refusing to comply with the authoritarian arseholes who demand the ‘convict classes’ behave like good, model prisoners and Take The Damn Jabs!

    I couldn’t watch & listen at the time so I don’t know if Carl was sucked in or just being polite to the woman who lied her way into fame (and got a good deal of support from old cats; ‘smart’ marketing & all that deceivers rhetoric), and now wants her every word to be taken as gospel.

    According to the NSW CHO, Indoor mask wearing and restrictions may be required for years.

    Schwab, Soros, Fauci, Pelosi, and probably many of the other arseholes trying to take over the world – all in their 80’s.

    They must be pretty certain that (a) they will live for ever and that (b) if (a) doesn’t work out, there is no Hell.

    I agree Tim Pool is very milquetoast, but his take on the straya lockdowns/fascism is spot on.

    Look at these authoritorian tards.

     

    “Oh what we are doing cant be evil because we believe its for the greater good”…

     

    https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2021/aug/24/australian-covid-vaccine-study-shows-social-restrictions-and-cash-would-slash-hesitancy

     
    “….A comprehensive study into overcoming vaccine hesitancy in Australia has found a large proportion of the undecided could be swayed with the use of financial incentives, with takeup almost 12 times more likely if a $500 payment is on offer.
    But the findings, contained in a new research paper from Community and Patient Preference Research (Cappre), also show the use of social restrictions for the unvaccinated – such as the inability to travel or attend major events – would be enough for many to change their minds without any need for financial incentives.

    The research comes amid fierce debate about what government policies might be needed to reach the 70% and 80% coverage rates targeted under the national plan in order to transition away from lockdowns and reopen the country.”….
     

    I can top that.

    Feeding their kids feet first into a wood chipper while they are forced to watch gets a 90% uptake.

    Whereas sticking bamboo under the fingernails converts only 2/3.
