    Go for it, Rabz.

    Charlie kept up a solid backbeat and could also swing it, but he learned it all from black musicians who are seldom remembered nowadays, which I think he’d have been the first to acknowledge.

    How many unprovable assertions can you pack into a sentence?

    There must be some sort of award.

    It has been suggested hereabouts that “The Jab” may cause people to actually produce the covid within themselves and that this may even be a source for the mystery cases and a way to infect others.

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

    Prof. Sucharit Bhakdi certainly takes that view.  He plainly states that the spike protein produced by the body can in itself cause Covid as people without any external source of infection were getting it post vaccination.

    Those are both great pop songs, joh.

    With a bit of welcome edge added, which was the point of difference between the Stones and The Beatles at the time.

    But, as with The Beatles, almost every lick they played was borrowed from someone else and marketed to the youth of the day as the work of geniuses.

    But as Richards himself acknowdged in regard to ‘Satisfaction’, he operated more as a medium than a composer.

    Not that that detracts from the impact or enoyment these songs give us.

    That’s rock and roll.

    Rice bran oil has highest heat point so best for cooking.

     

    You can get heat stabilised olive oil, with added anti-oxidants. works fine for cooking. We buy it from woolies.

    oxidised fats are not good for you. Even rice bran oil should be avoided. Saturated fats are not the evil that has been made out. Lard is fine for frying, does not oxidise like PUFAs. Avocado oil is good for salads.

    A big caveat is your current metabolic status, high carb load is bad for you if you don’t burn it off. Sedentary people should have a low to very low card load. Insulin resistance, obesity are the result of high carb load and lack of activity. A depressed immune system and increased inflammation result.

    The QLD government has banned state high school “league tables” to prevent parents choosing a school for their children based on its academic results.

    The teachers’ union is ecstatic.

    ========================================

    That’s just one of so many things Australian’s used to mock Americans for doing, like their whole PC BS, sending every idiot through college instead of into a trade and on & on the list goes.

    We mocked them because we knew it wasn’t only stupid, it was BAD.

    Then bang, all of sudden we leap-frogged them with even more of all that idiocy, because Academia told our Leaders it was all ‘World’s Best Practice’ and we didn’t want to be less than the best, did we?

    Oh but now no one is allowed to be the best … cause … BLM, but not enough to be best at an honest living … ?

    Last week, Michael Byrd, the Capitol police officer who fatally shot Ashli Babbitt on January 6, was exonerated following an internal investigation. Previously, the Justice Department had decided not to bring charges against Byrd.

    Powerline.

    No doubt the above has already been debated here, but for what it’s worth, I still feel there are unanswered questions. The way the tragedy has been dealt with could be described as opaque.

    This week, the FDA has granted full licensure to the Pfizer Covid vaccine, after just 16 months of the clinical trials.

    The Pfizer drug Chantix was approved by the FDA in 2006. Last month, 15 years after FDA approval:

    Pfizer recalls anti-smoking drug Chantix due to cancer-causing chemical

    《Pharmaceutical giant Pfizer is recalling 12 lots of its popular anti-smoking drug Chantix after the company discovered the products contain high levels of a chemical that may cause cancer.

    The voluntary move expands on a recall that covered nine lots of Chantix, which goes by the generic name varenicline, and was issued to warehouses earlier this month.

    Pfizer said it found N-nitroso-varenicline, which is a type of organic compound called a nitrosamine, in the product at levels higher than the company’s so-called acceptable intake limit. 》

    If you have had covid, you have natural immunity and your doctor can fill out a vaccination exemption notification form.

    Have not seen this mentioned anywhere in the MSM.

    A simple blood test can detect covid anti-bodies, you can get a blood test request online. Take the results to your doctor and get him to fill out Australian Immunisation Register (AIR) – immunisation medical exemption form (IM011)

    One of my comments that got swallowed was  about our Council sending out a survey on feeling part of the community and being able to access services over the last 12 months.  I had to answer, were they kidding? Did they not notice that the government has arbitrarily and unilaterally taken our rights and freedoms and we have been locked in our homes with no community engagement or any way to use the services that our rates have paid for, for months and months?
