    Shunned & Tagged by online ‘opinion moulders’ & their real world muscle, as “crazy conspiracy theorists”.

    Which is cool, cos tagging goes both ways and the game’s barely been declared let alone played.

    And yes, Scotland WAS The Horror Story of the West giving up freedom to Extreme Leftism, and way too few read the writing on the Global wall when Count Dankula aka Nazi Pug Guy, was convicted for posting a very clever & funny joke, until Australia said, ‘Hold My Designer Beer!’.

    Now, WE ARE THE Horror Story that our rats within kept lying could never happen here, while they gnawed away at our foundational protections to make sure it happened here.

    Remember ALL Those Rats.

    P.S. like many others, I told everyone years ago that our electronic communications would be manipulated to convict the innocent.
    ‘Net Heads’ and other ‘experts’ simply went into action branding us, “paranoid loons”, and other such libels that funnily enough have now come back to expose them as the professional, Anti-Justice propagandists they are.

    Mole, I think we know they already do this kind of stuff all the time and then find other ways to get warrants and what not.
    Look at the Vic Royal commission into that lawyer lady.
    Also:
    Has no one thought it might be a problem allowing coppers to alter data that might subsequently be evidence?
    What limits are put on these guys taking over someone’s social media accounts? Is there going to be a third party tracking which posts were suspect generated and which were copper generated?
    Why is there nowhere in any of the Hansard speeches I linked to reference to “suspects”?
    ” …collect intelligence on serious criminal activity ” How about: “collect intelligence on suspected serious criminal activity “?”

    How is typing out a mystery rewording of a Tweet into a hyperlink easier or better than cutting & pasting the whole tweet?

    It isn’t, but it forces people to go to Twitter if they want to see what’s being teased.

    It’s also what professional traffic pushers do.

    Just as lot’s of one line quips are a sign of traffic pushers who don’t have time to do much else lest it cuts into their paid churn numbers.

    Of course they also have to brake into the occasional bitter rants against those who recognise pushers, but still, the job requirement is to get as many of the unconverted into the Twitter Brainwashing maelstrom –

    Yes its twitter dan sets regional Victoria free sorta kinda what a hero

    […]
    It is chilling to see how many people are praising Dear Leader.

    Also, as I mentioned –

    It’s actually a lie that the Left don’t attack the Left.

    They do, only rather than have a noisy, attention drawing fight, they simply slip the stiletto in, kick the corpse into the canal, and never speak of them again.

    but I will add that I didn’t claim there were “sinister implications”.
    I simply pointed out what C.L. said, re: Sinclair Davidson not wanting to help keep the cat alive.
    that a number of cats LIED to attack me for saying it, only goes to prove their need to attack ‘outsiders’ & their bad faith in basic conversations, i.e. everything is Agenda Pushing to them.

    The Highly Effective Covid Treatment Joe Biden Won’t Tell You About

    《 Monoclonal antibody treatment has been found to reduce hospitalization and death from COVID by a stunning 70%, with almost no side effects, based on preliminary findings in recent studies. It’s also been shown to shorten the duration of symptoms by four days.

    What is monoclonal antibody treatment?

    The antibody treatment is essentially an infusion of supplemental antibodies that help your body fight off COVID — and fast, according to medical experts. University of Alabama at Birmingham Professor Turner Overton explained it this way: Your “immune system takes two to three weeks to make good antibodies,” but “monoclonal antibodies are supplemental antibodies that can be administered early in the course of infection — the first 10 days after symptoms commence — to rapidly bind and kill the COVID virus.”

    Medical experts suggest that the treatment should be given to COVID-positive patients during the first ten days of symptoms. 》

    I must say though, it is funny how RMIT Economics Professor Sinclair Davidson & now also a Govt Blockchain ‘lord’, was a Beloved Go-To-Expert of TheirABC and that only made him more beloved in the eyes of cats, unlike everyone else they shitcanned for ever appearing on anything ABC.

    Oh and there you go, it was “rosie” jumping in to say Sinclair Davidson killing the cat wasn’t sinister, AFTER she & the other she cats went at me like gipped whores for simply posting what C.L. later posted. All that was just some more tells. As I explained to her/them at Dover’s Cat –

    “What don’t you get about being recognised as one of the school of minnows?

    The Cat isn’t even the only cat, let alone the only public platform. When you scan around the net and keep seeing the same push, you notice there’s a push.

    That I also made that comment here, of course I’d include an example from here. Unlike you, who tosses random shit around the place then play innocent.

    And this is your great TELL; it isn’t, ‘stuff about YOU’, that sets you off, it IS FACTS ABOUT HOW PROFESSIONAL SOCIAL MEDIA MANIPULATORS WORK that sends you crazy nuts!

    As to your little tells, we’ll keep them between us for now.”

    Cat2 vs Cat3: An Analysis
    ………………………………………

    Cat2

    It had a blog owner with a public profile. The blog was around for years, so this gave the owner experience in dealing with the problems connected to running a blog.

    Yet, even after years, the blog still had:

    a/ Software bugs which caused problems in the posting/viewing of comments and so on.

    b/ Swamp creatures that came in to the blog, some on a permanent basis, others sneaked in by changing hosiery.

    So the experienced blog owner had to juggle these issues on a regular basis, even until the final forum and final day of the blog. This was because there wasn’t a simple solution to locking out the vermin.

    Don’t forget those who greeted, fed and watered the vermin each time they appeared. And those who cheered and applauded from the sidelines. Anyone who dared to suggest ignoring the swamp got a hard serve in return.

    Then there were the grumbles about the blog glitches that caused problems in the blog. Yet, despite all the issues, commenters stayed with the blog.

    Yeah, there were the occasional flouncers, but they returned.

    ……………………………………….

    If it wasn’t for the rabid Trump hate by the Left and supportive media, various treatments could have been trialled and instituted as a matter of urgency and saved many people and saved the world a lot of problems.

    But the Democrat’s Trump hate override normality.

    Ivermectin may not be great, who knows,  but something else could be.  But Trump hate squashed all treatment options.  Who knows how many people died because of Democrat’s hating Trump.

    ………..

    Cat3

    Similar issues:

    a/ Bugs in the software are causing problems

    b/ Swamp creatures

    For the first few days of Cat3, the blog owner was thanked and complimented on the great job done, in a short time-frame.

    Within a week, some were booking berths on other ships.
    Within a month, many had abandoned it for greener pastures.

    What happened to a fair go?

    What happened to allowing someone time to find their feet in a new venture?

    I put up with the swamp creatures and software bugs on Cat2 because the benefits were greater than the problems.

    I have stayed here on Cat3, not because there aren’t other options, but because it was the first blog set up and running before Cat2 shut down. I was glad and thankful, then. Now, I want to give the blog and its owner a fair chance. And that includes putting up with the software bugs and glitches, and scrolling past the vermin.

    Cat2 wasn’t perfect. And it was around for years.

    Cat3 isn’t perfect. And it is just 6 weeks old.

    I don’t know what will happen to it. Will it survive or not? There are a number of issues. I do not know if /when the roadblocks will be cleared, or where this blog is headed. But I am hopeful that the various bugs (in more than one sense) will be ironed out.

    I am prepared to give it some more time. And while here, I’ll do my best to keep it going.

    Thankfully, this is an online forum – not a ship in real life. Many passengers were thrilled when it stopped mid-ocean to pick them up. Until they found it wasn’t up to their standards. Then they looked around and found better sailing vessels.

    For a refresher, here is that first Thread – a quick read of around the first 10-11 pages would jog the memory

    There were some querying why I asked the question about donations. Perhaps, they did not read my entire comment and the response to a Q at 5:27 pm.

    I am trying to work out what may be happening with the blog. As cohenite suggested, we need a new Open Thread.  This one has been running for over three weeks.

    So, I went to the first thread to see if I could spot any clues.

    In response to someone’s query on the topic:

    Funding is not an issue but moderation and other side task may be more burdensome if the site takes off. I just rushed this one out in case sinc pulled the plug quickly.
