    Unemployment will go through the roof when this covid crises pandemic is over and all  done and dusted. So many thousands employed in the new covid industry will suddenly lose their jobs in the very near future…oh hang on!

    Not unlike the “security and surveillance” business post 9/11.

    The following is an extract from Ben Graham’s news.com.au article.

    If you want to get paid you must not stray from the approved propaganda and not deviate from zee “right-think”!

    —————————————-

    “Large parts of a video post from Seven reporter Denham Hitchcock about adverse reactions to the Pfizer vaccine have gone missing.

    The accompanying video – in which he speaks to Therapeutic Goods Administration boss Professor John Skerritt and epidemiologist Catherine Bennett about adverse Covid-19 vaccine reactions – had also been edited down from 22 minutes to just 14 minutes.

    The Daily Telegraph reports that Seven bosses advised Hitchcock to remove his editorialising of the issue “to make the video more balanced and in line with public responsibility”.

    Caster Semenya

    This person was eventually been banned from competing.  She is naturally ‘afflicted’ with a hermaphroditic condition.  I agree with the ruling.  It is unfortunate for her, but it is what it is and can be filed under “Act of God”.

    So when you see Trannys given a green light to compete against women;  YOU KNOW IT IS A PSYOP.

    At first Australia’s low population numbers and wide distribution seemed to be an asset.

    Now it’s just become a liability allowing for easy control, manipulation and experimentation.

    We’re just a bunch of human lab bats for the “elites” to easily test and trial their plan on before taking it to the wider world.

    Posted this earlier but it disappeared, for some reason.

    I wonder if there is a place in the cyber-universe where disappeared things hang out. Could it be adjacent to the place where lost socks (the foot-covering kind) congregate?

    Speaking of socks, the genuine variety, yesterday I visited the mall with a list which included replenishing the (genuine) sock drawer. I need sturdy, warm footwear in this chilly climate.

    To my chagrin, my preferred sock purveyor, Lowes, is closed at present – another win for the COVID hysterics. Apparently clothing is not a necessary purchase in this brave new world.

    But, surprise, surprise, Coles also sell socks, and they are open. As the purchase was necessary, I bought a pair of Explorer Socks for the first time. Lowes sells an excellent bamboo/wool/synthetic product which is now not available to me, so the Explorers will be rigorously tested over the coming months.

    The massacre of businesses outside the charmed circle is one of the worst acts of economic and social bastardry ever seen in this country – possibly the worst.

    Yet, the MSM are silent. Guess they want to make sure the stay inside the charmed circle as well.

His ravings about physics I couldn’t care less about, let him rave. Who cares? But I think that anti-semitism is unacceptable in any forum that wishes to attract decent people. Just my opinion, it’s up to Adam to decide what he wants to do.

    Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) on Wednesday asserted that more than just “women” can menstruate, defending her use of the term “menstruating people.”

    “Not just women! Trans men & non-binary people can also menstruate,” Ocasio-Cortez exclaimed, defending her use of the term.

    “Some women also *don’t* menstruate for many reasons, including surviving cancer that required a hysterectomy,” she continued.

    “GOP mad at this are protecting the patriarchal idea that women are most valuable as uterus holders,” the New York lawmaker added, continuing to tell people to “grow up” because “trans, two-spirit, and non-binary people have always existed and will always exist”:

    WTF is wrong with these people? Lifesavers worried about COVID in a place where transmission is almost impossible, and then wondering if they should save lives on the off-chance that they, young and fit, might get the bug?

    True, not hearing very much about Tassie in the news or King and Flinders Islands for that matter, yet, although I do know of several covid vaccine holdouts down there. Thinking about moving to Binalong Bay but maybe Strahan would be better. Supply chain is just one potential problem though, at least until self-sufficient.

    By the same token, there’s thousands of Australians locked in Australia who would get out if they could, even if that meant they would have to revoke their Australian citizenship and seek political asylum as stateless people elsewhere in the world.
