    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.

    Just my 2 bobs worth.
    Be frustrated/ angry but leave it at predicting troubles, not opining about breaking out the AK47s and throwing Premiers down stairs.

    I think people are posting like that through respect for Dover, and people’s perceptions of his standards.

    I’ve seen nothing posted indicating that he expects to replicate anything other than Sincs line in the sand. Time will tell, I guess, but I think it goes without saying that I’ll test those boundaries.

    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.

I have always been grateful that Sinc’s Cat accepted me, eight years ago feeling rather old and not very bright amongst so many sharp and witty intellects. Nothing much has changed except getting older.

    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

    The Australian

    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.
