    Not only you are wrong, I can show you why you are wrong if you listen for a moment instead of calling everyone else a “traitor”.

     

    Firstly not calling everyone a traitor, and secondly, if your actioins empower tyrants operating outside the rule of law, you are a criminal.

    The tyrants are criminals and you are empowering them when you obey them.

    Sometimes simple truths are the most offensive.

    But it doesn’t make them falsehoods.

    Just offensive.

    ***************************************************

    I think Lysander should retract what he said right before you and calli gave him a big welcome to the blog. But, free speech, so I won’t ask him to. And for the same reason, I won’t ask thefrollickingmole to retract what he said earlier in the day.

    What Lysander said is what I quoted. It’s the sort of stuff he habitually said on the now dead and gone catallaxyfiles.com. Seems he wants to continue it here.

    And, as for the mole, he’s a potty mouth who just can’t help himself.

    You can call both of them out, but I’ll be surprised if you do.

    These blokes have buckleys of pulling off that stunt these days.

    And remember it’s got to affect supplies which it won’t because the big companies won’t stop and they will get appaulling media.

    I should know.

     

    However, any and all open public opposition is a net good in getting others sitting on the fence , off their arses, and it can pressure the tyrants into making blues, being too heavy handed etc.

    So nothing anyone is doing should be condemned, but we need to actually close down any border that the Premiers have long since claimed to have been closed but weren’t.

    If people could just get that one fact through their thick skulls and think about just how many interstate truck crossings there have been daily for the last 19 months, they might wake up.

    But these people, who have had their smarts frightened out of them can’t work out what a vaccine is supposed to do.

    AMERICAN THINKER –

    “The elites are telling us what we can and can’t do, where we are not allowed to go and that we likely can’t have gainful employment. What are they afraid of?  Either the vaccinations work and they are protected or they don’t and they are lying.  I am sick and damn tired of the fulminations of those who purport to care yet use this pandemic to put their knees on the throats of those with whom they disagree. You do not shun people, ban them from public spaces, mock them as idiots, deny them gainful employment– and life-saving surgery— out of concern for their well-being.”

    One of the more horrible things I noticed was there were dozens of programs set up for educating girls. Great initiative etc.

    But completely missing the cold hard fact that unless you convinced men it was worthwhile first you were wasting time and money for nothing.

    the emphasis on “ making” Afghani blokes allow women into society as equals meant there could never be any support given their status at the start.

    But rather than incremental improvement the wise mongoloids of NGOs and government decided all they had to do was wish harder and it would work.

    To be fair, half the vehicle has to be dismantled to get to the 16 drain plugs in the process. Oil change is recommended yearly as nobody drives the 5-6 thou miles in these which would be the alternate benchmark.

    To make a point of teaching people that their borders have never been closed by showing what happens when they really are.

    I know that the media will spin it in all sorts of ways or not mention it at all and we don’t want to do things that help the tyrants.

    And the next thing I’m going to say will be scoffed at but food shortages are desired and part of tyrannical control.

    I most certainly am attending the T20 rep carnival here.

    In one form or another it’s been going on since mid June.  A series of one day fixtures with teams comprising Shield players from interstate, their second XIs hopefuls looking for contracts, with Premier Grade players from Vic, NSW, SA and Tassie along with a sprinkling of our local finest kicked it off.

    Then there was a three-match series with a CA XI playing a combined team of the above, and now we’re at the end of the T20 version.

    The standard’s pretty good.  Very good, in fact.  Most of the interstaters have been here for three months or more, thus escaping the latest round of this quarantine/lockdown idiocy.

    I see that Lysander joined this new version of the Cat yesterday and immediately posted his colours to the mast by making a p*do reference to another commenter, Terry Pedersen. Apparently a later comment by Pedersen drawing attention to that reference, and to Lysander being welcomed here by Bar Beach Swimmer and calli right after making it, was deleted because Bar Beach Swimmer objected to it, but the original comment by Lysander remains intact. That is unfortunate as such references leave the blog and its owner open to legal action.

    Professor Davidson had some difficulty controlling people’s urges to make such comments, often chiding those who made them and deleting the offending comments. Regrettably, the serial offenders soon resumed the practice. The associated possibility of defamation proceedings being commenced was often raised and no doubt was one of the factors that led to his decision to terminate the old Catallaxyfiles. If it is not stamped on here then it is likely that this new version of Catallaxy will soon go the same way.

    Hi Cats. I have just posted this on Jo Nova’s blog, & I hope it might be useful to those Cats who are committed to opposing the current “vaccines” & are finding it “hard going” in the community.

    Astounding ignorance of the professional disagreement amongst leading virologists and immunologists around the world in respect to the COVID “vaccines” is apparent throughout the general population in Australia.

    I have compiled the following list of the leading opponents of the vax program with which to counter all the sanctimonious critics of my position. I would suggest many of you could use this document for the same purposes. Please add to it where you can.

    Dr. John Ioannidis, Prof. of Medicine & Epidemiology, Stanford University. Recognised as one of the world’s most influential scientists.

    Dr. Peter McCullough, Prof. of Medicine, epidemiologist & cardiologist, Univ. College of Medicine, Dallas, Texas

    Dr. Robert Malone, virologist and immunologist, inventor of mRNA gene therapy when working for Salk Institute.

    Dr. Beda Stadler,Emeritus Professor & Director of Immunology, Bern, Switzerland.

    Dr. Sucharit Bhakdi, Retired microbiologist, University of Mainz, Germany

    Prof. Dolores Cahill, microbiologist & immunologist

    So the ABC is implying that “Getting Away With It” was a theme song about killing Afghans for fun and getting away with it. At the end of the article you realise what their message is.

    I wonder if they made the nude Twister thing up.  Nude men everywhere except one in “budgie smugglers”, a term lefty types use in a certain way.

    A man wanted by police over a brutal Balga killing, before he fled to Afghanistan, is reportedly trying escape the Taliban in Kabul and return back to Perth.
    Syed Hussein has been linked to the death of drug-dealer Dejan Dimitrovski, who was found dead inside his heavily fortified Balga home after being savagely attacked by several men in August 2017.
    The group allegedly inflicted severe blunt force injuries to Mr Dimitrovski’s face and a compression injury to his neck over a suspected drug debt.

Like most of you, I have been astounded not just by the fear mongering and total disinterest in medical dissent (OS) to the novel vaccines, but also by the anger festering amongst the vaccinated who see dissenters as threats to the promise of a “return to normal life”.

    God bless all of you & never lose your passion for freedom of speech and diversity of opinion.

    Imagine Groogs taking legal action over the Cat.  The line for witnesses would go round the block.  I would even brief Gargooglery MD QC.

    It’s odd that although in some sections of society momentum is gathering against the powers that be, in others there is a distinct distancing with claims of a circumspection of sorts. Thus, there is:

    Yes, I was right, I told  you way back, the truckies should blockade. But wait. Not them. Not yet.

    Yes, I was right, way back, when I told you something about something. But it’s too late now.

    Yes, I am right because somebody did something to protest but this was not clever, if you ask me.

    Yes, I agree,  of course, we need to protest. But not these kinds of protests where people thought it was fun to confront the police.

    Yes, of course, it’s important that people are heard. But we need sensible demonstrations, where people are sun-smart and camera conscious while wearing hats and pretending they are promenading next to a film set.

    Ah, well.

    On another:

    That Aussie Cossack has hit a nerve with his record of names and pics of police who are both decent and otherwise.
