    The Green-Left Weekly (now Half) Hour has some Balinese expat bleating about they cannot get back to Australia to enjoy the medical care and community infrastructure the taxes they haven’t paid have provided. I have about as much sympathy as when someone’s rural idyll has been burnt down/flooded.

    ————————————————————————-
    Yep, Bear, amazing how patriotism has suddenly been ignited in people who have lived overseas for decades. Have they paid any taxes here recently?

    Fair enough that their citizenship should mean something, but given scarce resources their being way down the list of priorities is not something that we should be embarrassed about.

    Bear,
    Probably, some of those “Global Citizens.” A nebulous bunch of service sucker-uppers who are not interested in the “putting in bit.”

    That’s one thing about the pressure from govt to get jabbed that is really making me fume – the threat to deny taxpayers access to services that they’ve paid for, for not rolling up the sleeve.

    But, from far away, nearer and nearer I’m beginning to hear a long gone but not forgotten call: “No Taxation without Representation.”

    A mini-documentary posted to TheCovidWorld.com provides a platform for Covid vaccine-injured Australians and the families of those who died after taking the jab to speak out.

    Titled, “Our Voices Matter,” the short film features interviews with individuals who were injured following the shot and people who lost loved ones shortly after vaccination.

    Every one of the people in the documentary was once trustful enough of the medical establishment to get the experimental jab in the first place.

    Now, the very same medical establishment tries to tell the vaccine-injured that the jab had nothing to do with their sudden illness and mainstream media won’t give them the light of day.

    I think I can see the tone change referred to.

    Instead of people warning or predicting bad outcomes from government spastics moronic actions in immiserising millions and reacting to a medical problem with police state tactics we have some getting to the “ ill start shooting” stage of venting.
    Stupid and dangerous to everyone posting here.
    Predicting trouble is not the same as wishing for it.
    And bird can go eat a bunch of dicks, the doomlords approach of nuking every post in in a hit was justified.
    Mental illness isn’t edifying on a blog.

    Be frustrated/ angry but leave it at predicting troubles, not opining about breaking out the AK47s and throwing Premiers down stairs.

    Excellent piece from American Thinker about the ‘approval’ process for the faux vaccines:

    The point it makes is applicable to Australia, where the latest batch of snake oil was ordered and allocated before it was approved. Not approving it was never an option.

    Well. The UN-based global socialists have accurately identified Australians as being the most gullible, lazy and compliant of all western populations. We’re now a test bed for their Great Reset lifestyle. How’s it going for you so far? Compulsory injections or no access to food shops will be with us very shortly. Owning nothing and being happy eating bugs will be next. What would your WWII-era relatives be saying? Mine would be demanding public lynchings for all current politicians. Cedric, Kuranda

    “Vax passports” (CP 17/8). Internal travel papers – straight outta Nazi Germany. They’re not even trying to hide it now. Davina, Bungalow

    Doesn’t Australia have any electron microscopes? Because I’d like to see some images of the SARS-Cov-2 virus (CP, 17/08) to compare with images of Influenza A and Influenza B viruses. A whole population is being asked to “trust the experts” but 18 months on I reckon the experts have had time to put the evidence together. So display it publicly and stop all the hand-wringing and arm-waving until you do. Because so far, to me, it looks like just another flu but with “experts” having a mass panic attack – which doesn’t support the damage they’re inflicting on us economically and psychologically. Darlene, Stratford

    Biden postponed Trump’s planned Afghanistan withdrawal date and so had extra time to extract people and equipment safely. But somehow he stuffed it up and now there’s a scramble for the exits and fleets of Humvees, tanks, drones, helicopters and ammunition have been left behind. Biden has armed the Taliban with the latest US military technology. Trump has rightly called for Biden to resign in disgrace. Republican, Cairns

    I’d have the jab if I was covered for health damage from potential side effects. The govt has made it that nobody is liable except the person getting the jab. That really sucks and I don’t know of any other products that applies to. I’ll take my chances with the Covid, thanks. Mark W. Redlynch

    Lockdowns have killed tourism. Responses to covid have made sovereign risk so high that no sensible person would invest in small business. These are not the governments we voted for. Like it or not, our country was taken over last year by unknown behind the scenes individuals who have bent our elected reps to their will. This will only end with blood in our streets. Sorry, but history shows this to be true. History Guy, Cairns

    Does anyone realise that masks can’t work over beards? Good luck getting hippies, rednecks, orthodox jews and muslims to shave. LOL! Dusty, Bungalow

    While the IPCC is raging around trumpeting that July was the hottest July in all of history, most of the southern hemisphere has had the coldest July on record, with snow in many places that rarely see it. Plus there’s been record summer snow in the northern hemisphere. The IPCC can lie about temperatures to their heart’s content but they can’t make water lie about its freezing point. I. Browne, Caravonica

    Before he was elected President, Joe Biden said he had a plan to end the pandemic. Clearly he doesn’t or it would be over by now. At least President Trump invented vaccines – Biden hasn’t done anything. God, I miss President Trump. Juliette, Cairns

    I am now so sick of the government interfering in my life and turning friends, families and neighbours against each other that I am for the first time in my life prepared to protest, march, riot and fight the monsters that are doing this to us. Was that the plan? Darren, Cairns

    You are free to choose to get the covid vaccine, but you are not free from any potential consequences of your choice. Chloe Kuranda

    The main obstacle to “climate action” is the lack of legitimate scientific support that anything needs to be done. All the variations are the result of natural cycles. Cody, Atherton

    If we unvaccinated are to be denied public services then it’s only fair that we don’t pay taxes. Simple. Tradie, Caravonica

    The extra cloud this winter has been caused by low solar activity which causes a depressed geomagnetic field which permits an influx of cloud seeding galactic particles. Like all climate variations, it’s nothing to do with CO2 and everything to do with that pulsing electromagnetic field generator in the sky that we call the sun. Skye, Machans Beach

    How come the Taliban are taking Afghanistan’s cities back and not dying of covid? They’re in groups of more than two, not social distancing, over five km from home, maskless, with no hand sanitiser. No pandemic there? Jennifer, Edge Hill

    Our federal health department says the majority of Covid deaths are people in their 70s or older1, and that there’s been 967 Covid deaths since January, 20202.

    Excluding the 800 dead from Victoria’s disastrous air-conditioned high-rise hotel quarantine3, we’ve had 167 Covid deaths in 18 months.

    However, in the first three months of the Covid vaccination campaign we’ve seen 183 deaths from vaccine reactions4.

    Worse, TGA data shows vaccine deaths are occurring in younger age groups than those most susceptible to death from Covid5.

    The Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency6 (Oz, 16/08) regulates our medicos and has banned them from stating any concerns about vaccine safety7.

    In effect, our governments are coercing us into vaccines that have killed more Aussies at a younger age than the disease they’re supposed to prevent.

    There are TGA-approved drugs8 on the market now that cure Covid9, a fact well-known to many Australian doctors.

    Our governments’ obsession with reaching “x-percent vaccinated,” using experimental drugs with improperly-applied10 emergency-use approval, looks like a plan to harm rather than help.

    If only we had a large network of researchers across Australia who had the ability to find these facts and report them to everyone, many lives could be saved.

    Comrades.

    The Therapeutic Goods Administration keeps an adverse vaccine events database, here – apps.tga.gov.au/Prod/daen/daen-report.aspx
    Safety information & education
    This section includes links to articles about the general safety of medicines and medical devices, including how the safety of products i
    apps.tga.gov.au
    .

    It allows you to search for different drugs to see how many were injured or killed by them, although it does not include the most recent 90 days data – to allow for it to be fact-checked.

    Between 01/01/2020 and 17/05/2021 the AstraZeneca and Pfizer Covid-19 vaccines killed 88 and 95 Australians respectively, and injured 12,549 and 5,609.

    Can you imagine if a new car model had such faults that it killed 88 or 95 drivers? Would every car sold be recalled and all new stock withdrawn? Absolutely.

    But it’s a bit hard to recall a dose of vaccine. Once the plunger is pushed home there’s no turning back – and “jabbee’s remorse” is creating “angryvaxxer syndrome.”

    The angryvaxxers are in emotional turmoil because of their hasty decision and its irreversible potential consequences – and they’re taking it out on those who are waiting to see the results of the human vaccine trials.

    This is the dark side of the human condition that periodically emerges and which cost 100 million lives last century.

    When governments (politicians and bureaucrats) team up with corporations to achieve a political outcome that damages their own citizens it’s known as “fascism.”

    Australia is now a fascist state and, aided by its state and corporate propaganda arms, it has brainwashed a portion of the population, injected them with experimental drugs, and created a bitter societal divide along that line.

    Our current crop of politicians and bureaucrats will be remembered as the worst in Australia’s history, and we can only hope they face trial at a future Covid Nuremberg.

    https://www.abc.net.au/news/2021-08-18/nsw-children-isolated-from-parents-in-covid-ward/100385512

    ”A NSW health care worker says COVID-positive children who are separated from their parents are frightened and overwhelmed as the state records its highest day of hospitalisations in a 24 hour period.t

    A nurse at Sydney’s Westmead Children’s Hospital has shared her difficult experience caring for infected paediatric patients amid the worsening Delta outbreak in NSW.

    The nurse, whom the ABC has chosen not to name, said children were distressed about being in a foreign environment without anyone they know and staff were significantly affected by the challenging situation.

    “[The] nurses not only attend to all clinical needs but try to support these children emotionally in a very frightening time for them,” she said.

    “Seeing the effects of such young children separated from parents has left staff feeling pretty miserable and on top of that, the anxiety and stress of working with COVID-positive patients every day takes a toll on us all.”
    ————————————————————————

    Note that (i) the story highlights the plight of the nurses – it’s all about them; and (ii) there is no suggestion that these children have any symptoms.

    It hit me in a sensitive spot because my sister spent a couple of months in hospital when she was about three, thanks to nephritis, which could have been fatal. This was many decades ago. In those days, we were not allowed to visit her, we could wave and shout while she was wheeled out onto a balcony. It was devastating for us but especially for her. She couldn’t understand why her family had abandoned her.

    Doing this to little kids is just plain cruel. What is wrong with these people?

    The Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency6 (Oz, 16/08) regulates our medicos and has banned them from stating any concerns about vaccine safety7.

    In effect, our governments are coercing us into vaccines that have killed more Aussies at a younger age than the disease they’re supposed to prevent.

    There are TGA-approved drugs8 on the market now that cure Covid9, a fact well-known to many Australian doctors.

    Our governments’ obsession with reaching “x-percent vaccinated,” using experimental drugs with improperly-applied10 emergency-use approval, looks like a plan to harm rather than help.

    If only we had a large network of researchers across Australia who had the ability to find these facts and report them to everyone, many lives could be saved.

    Comrades.

    I mean, isolationism is a philosophy that you can make a case for, it’s a thing. It has consequences though, don’t try to run away from them like a coward.

    Trump want to retain the presidency. He wanted to oversee the withdrawal from Afghanistan. Withdrawal from long useless wars was actually very important to him personally.

    He would have done it properly with no desperate Afghans clinging to the undercarriages of planes before falling to their deaths while he himself was on holiday.

    Impeach Biden.

    If Trump had wanted to oversee the withdrawal from Afghanistan, he had four long years to do it. He was the Pentagon’s boss. Don’t give me whines about how he couldn’t do it.

    Biden screwed up while doing it, but at least he got it done in the end.

    Bulldust. He brought the Taliban to Camp David and signed an agreement which would leave it until after the election.

    The way he withdrew troops from Syria suddenly and left the Kurds to be slaughtered in 2019 shows how he would have handled Afghanistan if he had had the guts to do it.

    You can lie all you like, but the facts are reported history.

    Although you can’t blame Biden wholly. Somehow Intelligence got it all wrong or were scared to alert Biden and Pelosi to what was about to happen.

    But the image of persons falling from the undercarriages of planes is terrible. Can Biden recover from that?

    Mark A, upthread, though I don’t always acknowledge your great contribution to the Cat, partly because I usually get to them a bit late in that day and, by then, everyone’s moved on, that of course has been my mistake to not give you a regular thumbs up.

    Sorry BBS, I probably wasn’t clear.
    The last thing I want is acknowledgement for something I do for fun, it’s embarrassing really.

    We’d end up in a circle thanking each other.
    Posting an outstanding, interesting piece is a different matter, certainly deserves a mention.

    I’m not a flouncing type either I may post the pics again, I just have the feeling that the forum is not being improved in a tech, sense and no attempt is being made for a more in-time moderation.

    Adam being a busy man doesn’t cut it for me, numerous help offers were ignored, M0nty could fix the tech issue, and people offered to moderate.
    With clear guidelines I’m sure there wouldn’t be any over-moderation.

    1. Because not even the Taliban thought it would be so easy to reclaim an entire country, it takes them a year or so to plan and carry out another full-blown terrorist attack on Western soil. Or sponsor someone to do it, and harbour them before, during and after.

    2. Re-invading is not an option, because conquering in this day is considered a bit low-brow. ‘Surgical strikes’ become the go.

    3. After each such strike, the Talis will wheel out a few truckloads of pre-executed women and children, tastefully arrange them for the cameras and claim atrocities by the infidel.

    4. And around and around it will go, because nobody has the election cycle courage to take out an entire city. Or province. Gaza, writ large.

    The Afghanis will end up with the Taliban because they deserve it – not individually but collectively. The same way Iraq ended up with Hussein. Libya -Gaddafi and Syria – Assad. Throw in the CIA, some Cold War meddling and you have got practically every conflict in the last 50 years.

    Islam is a primitive and repressive religion. It is also effective at bringing some form of order to illiterate, tribal societies as evidenced by the sort of 3rd world shitholes it is generally found in. Hell, Australia can barely maintain a parliamentary democracy in the face of a largely non-lethal virus.

    I have tremendous sympathy for the Afghani people but there is not much I can do about their (or even mine) situation.

    President Joe Biden has abandoned the media in Afghanistan, as the Washington Post publisher reportedly requested help from the White House to evacuate more than 200 journalists in the collapsed country.

    Publisher Fred Ryan told National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan the Post, New York Times, and Wall Street Journal’s reporters “are currently in danger and need the U.S. government to get them to safety,” a Hill columnist reported:

    Washington Post publisher Fred Ryan sends urgent email to Nat. Sec. Advisor Jake Sullivan on getting more than 200 journalists from the Post, WSJ and NY Times out of the country: “They are currently in danger and need the US government to get them to safety.”

    I can’t let this stinking lie from M0nty sit uncontested.

    M0nty, the USA has a formal treaty with Turkey ratified by Congress. It is called NATO. It is in force. At the same time the US has or had an informal agreement with the Kurds.

    So when it came to Turkey and the Kurds it was illegal for Trump to support the Kurds and illegal for him to place forces in a situation whereby they would be required to breach the alliance with Turkey.

    Congress, its wisdom (a thing which it totally lacks), did not see fit to pass any law allowing action by US armed forces against any Turkish armed forces.

    Therefore Trump did the exact legal thing. He had no choice. For that you can blame the Democrats (spit) and the RINOs (spit) who presented him with this impossible dilemma. And they did so on purpose hoping they could use his choice of action or inaction for politics.

    If he’d chosen to support the Kurds he would’ve been impeached for breaking the NATO Treaty.

    This is the problem with lefties, even affable ones like you. Lies upon lies upon lies.

    Lyin’ Joe Biden pulled the rug out from the Afghan National Army and then sought to blame them for the country’s collapse to the Taliban.

    Logistical support and – most crucially – air support, were pulled in April.

    There are reports the ANA wasn’t even being supplied with ammunition.

    As for the remark that the Afghans were cowards, the Afghan army sustained more casualties per year than the US army did in the entire 20 year occupation.

    US allies – and enemies – will be taking note.
