So I got stopped by the police. Where is your ID?. Sorry Officer I don’t have a driver’s license as I don’t have a car. So where is your ID card? ID card?
He let me go with a warning to get an ID card. So dutifully I go to Service NSW to get one. I have to print out and fill in a form and bring a photo to their local office. Easy, but it says on their webpage to stay away from the office during this COVID period.
This is getting better by the day.

Hi Lizzie – The nesting season is well underway here as far as I can tell. I get a surge of keen currawongs around 2 or 3 pm when the day is warmest. Which I’ve always interpreted to mean the parents feel it’s warm enough to leave the eggs and get a quick bite to eat. No currawong nests nearby me, but that’s not surprising given the avian traffic here.
Dunno about currawongs but the noisies and the magpies like to shift trees each season. So did the friendly peewee pair I had, before they finally left. I suspect same for currawongs. She’ll have a nest in a different tree somewhere.
Young kooka who accepted meat from me first time yesterday arrived around lunchtime, on the fence. I was able to sidle up and present a lump on mince to him about 10cm away. He looked and looked and looked at it, then finally decided not to chance it, and flew to the clothesline. But came back again once I put the mince on the fence and took away my icky fingers.
Other kid from last year is still quite wild but will let me toss bits of meat from some metres away, whereupon she’ll pick them up off the grass. I’m calling her she because she takes after mum, whereas the friendlier one looks and even has the same mannerisms as his dad. Sadly mum vanished around Christmas, but she was pretty old I think.

It is a bizarre situation. A purely disruptive psychology not apparently politically motivated but simply destructive of others’ peace of mind and communal spirit.

For any interested, Martin Armstrong comes thru yet once again
”Blog/Disease
Posted Aug 18, 2021 by Martin Armstrong
Spread the love
At last, we are starting to get some real research to deal with the biologically manufactured COVID-19 virus that appears to have been engineered and released with either unintended consequences, or it was known that it would mutate into something far worse. Even Germany operates a secret bio-laboratory in Wuhan under high security, which it has not disclosed to the public based on reliable sources. The Delta variant is spreading rapidly and it will impact people’s respiratory ability and make them even a little out of breath after climbing stairs.
The CDC has released data for the past year covering 4.9 million people who were hospitalized between March 2020 and March 2021. Of that number, only 11% tested for COVID. They did not clarify if they were there for other reasons and just happened to test positive for COVID. But they have sorted through the data to try to determine who is dying from COVID. The two main factors are overweight and diabetes. The third most common category was fear-related disorders. Generally, these conditions alone increased your chance of death by about (1.30) 30% and if you had at least two such conditions it increased by about 50%. There were people with multiple conditions and that increased the chance of death by almost 400%. There is really no risk of death for most people and despite the extreme measures like New Zealand shutting down the entire economy, those at risk have been defined now by the CDC which does not justify terrorizing the entire nation.
Here is what the CDC reported:
Results
Among 4,899,447 hospitalized adults in PHD-SR, 540,667 (11.0%) were patients with COVID-19, of whom 94.9% had at least 1 underlying medical condition. Essential hypertension (50.4%), disorders of lipid metabolism (49.4%), and obesity (33.0%) were the most common. The strongest risk factors for death were obesity (adjusted risk ratio [aRR] = 1.30; 95% CI, 1.27–1.33), anxiety and fear-related disorders (aRR = 1.28; 95% CI, 1.25–1.31), and diabetes with complication (aRR = 1.26; 95% CI, 1.24–1.28), as well as the total number of conditions, with aRRs of death ranging from 1.53 (95% CI, 1.41–1.67) for patients with 1 condition to 3.82 (95% CI, 3.45–4.23) for patients with more than 10 conditions (compared with patients with no conditions).
Conclusion
Certain underlying conditions and the number of conditions were associated with severe COVID-19 illness. Hypertension and disorders of lipid metabolism were the most frequent, whereas obesity, diabetes with complication, and anxiety disorders were the strongest risk factors for severe COVID-19 illness. Careful evaluation and management of underlying conditions among patients with COVID-19 can help stratify risk for severe illness.
This new strain has been infecting children with varying impacts from minor cases to killing about 400. New York City is going off the deep end by imposed mandatory vaccines to simply go out and do anything, which is completely illogical when nearly 50% of the cases of COVID are among those already vaccinated. Canada is banning all travel without vaccines. New Zealand is locking down the entire country because of ONE CASE of COVID. This is the most irresponsible leader of any country. She even beat Biden, hands down.
Now the White House wants everyone who is vaccinated with the two shots to get the third one because the first two do not work. Fauci is out now selling that idea because the vaccines have failed to do what he said they would — eradicate the virus. Then we have some in healthcare going nuts and demanding to test newborns for COVID. Many see this as the demand exclusively for vaccines, rejecting all therapy as diabolical. In the UK, the government has been forced to now investigate three new side-effects of both the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines, which are leading to the skin condition called erythema multiforme that causes round skin lesions. The condition may also affect mucous membranes in internal body cavities. Additionally, there are two kidney disorders reported nephrotic syndrome and glomerulonephritis. The nephrotic syndrome makes the kidneys leak too much protein into the urine.
We are only now starting to scratch the surface. It has been shown that having a common cold helps against COVID. Many of us are hesitant concerning the vaccines, not just because they were developed in 2 days on a computer program, but deep concerns that they may result in altering your DNA and possibly impact fertility. The Israeli government has reported that the Pfizer vaccine is only 39% effective. There is just no data available as to the long-term effects of these new experimental vaccines that mess with your DNA.
Meanwhile, the claims that the whole world had to be vaccinated to terminate COVID were a lie. Biden has been struggling to try to explain that the vaccinated can still contract and spread COVID, for any virus that also infects animals cannot be eradicated as was the case with smallpox. The animal population will always produce new variants naturally (e.g., Bird Flu, Swine Flu). All of this flies in the face of trying to restrict movement with COVID Passports which are really intended for climate change. This is part of the problem — the admixture of health & climate change.
Sotrovimab
Entering into this quagmire is GlaxoSmithKline and Vir Biotechnology with Sotrovimab, the newest antibody therapy, developed after a large collaborative study by scientists from across the nation who have worked together and discovered a natural antibody (in the blood of a COVID-19 survivor) that has remarkable efficacy that will NOT alter your DNA. Sotrovimab is authorized for use under an Emergency Use Authorization (EUA), so there is no dispute, and it is for “the treatment of mild-to-moderate coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in adults and pediatric patients (12 years of age and older weighing at least 40 kg) with positive results of direct SARS-CoV-2 viral testing, and who are at high risk for progression to severe COVID-19, including hospitalization or death.”
Experiments showed that this antibody, called S309, neutralizes all known SARS-CoV-2 strains. The newly emerged mutations can now be known as the breakthroughs as well as the closely related original SARS-CoV virus. This Molecular Biology Consortium used beamlines at two labs to perform x-ray crystallography on samples of survivor-derived antibodies during an early phase of the study. This work, alongside other crystallography and cryo-electron microscopy findings, contributed to generating a detailed structural map of how these antibodies bind to the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein. This further allowed the wider team to select the most promising candidates enabling them to advance this analysis to cell culture and animal-based studies. Following the lab results, the developers designed Sotrovimab based on the structure of S309 and then advanced to clinical trials.
The FDA granted a EUA for Sotrovimab in late May after trials showed that people with mild to moderate COVID-19 infections who received an infusion of the therapy had an 85% reduction in rates of hospitalization or death, compared with placebo. However, as the new mutations began to appear, it was understood that a new pathogenic coronavirus could emerge from an animal-human real crossover event in the future. This is what I have been saying that there is no vaccine that will exterminate this virus. Bill Gates is either stupid, or he deliberately lied that once the world was vaccinated, we would return to normal.
This team of scientists began a follow-up study exploring what factors make antibodies resistant to viral breakthroughs. They needed to know how certain antibodies are also broadly reactive against related viruses mutations. Using biochemical and structural analysis, deep mutational scanning, and binding experiments, they were then able to identify one antibody with unparalleled universal potency. They were able to discover an antibody that neutralizes ALL KNOWN forms of this virus so far. They believe, based upon animal trials that this antibody could even PREVENT a COVID-19 infection if given prophylactically.
The new work was published in Nature. While the press bashes any treatment other than Gates’ vaccines, they are totally silent on an approach other than vaccines.
We may have an ALTERNATIVE to Gates’ Terrorizing the world. ”

Last evening you asked me about BHP. I believe the market is thinking along the same lines in that a large cash payout suggests the company is bereft of investment ideas and choices or at least it’s hitting the wall. This isn’t good. Today’s fall was twice the amount of the announced div or thereabouts.
The stock fell 7% today. When a stock falls by this sort of amount after an important announcement like in this case, a large dividend, it’s wake up and take notice time. However, as I said, I’m not really interested in the miners.
Ivy Fund’s Management would have a clearer picture.

Fat Tony – Exactly this happened to me this morning. I went for a walk since it’s been a nice day, and I take a large chunk of mince with me because I have more than half of the local magpies accepting food from my hand. It’s a fun hobby and an excuse to go get some exercise.
Down near the foreshore park there’s an section of the track which goes through some sheoaks, and a bunch of magpies congregate there. This morning I’d just passed a lady and her dog when a young magpie spotted me and did a C-130 style emergency landing in front of me. Magpie gets mince, yum. THEN the rest arrived. Four adults and eight juveniles. So I was kneeling in the middle of the walking track handing out small bits of mince to them. About two thirds were brave enough to take it from my hand. It was great fun, and the other walkers were very considerate, bypassing or holding off. Finally another lady-with-dog was approaching so it was necessary to shoo them away rather than have the lady’s dog take off after them.
I hadn’t ever had that many turn up, nor be so friendly. Previously maybe six or seven at most. Sadly one of the young ones had a dislocated hip, so I don’t think it has long in the world. But it got a good feed, which is all I could do.
And to answer your question, yes. There’s a nice ABC video on Australian Magpie behaviour that a Cat once put up on the old Cat, which talks about this. I don’t have a bookmark but it should be easy to find. The young ones after being driven away by the parents wander around and sometimes they find an unclaimed territory with food, where they congregate.
This area is one of such. I think there’s a food source nearby which I won’t describe (it’s not me). And the walking track has people who feed them too. So a dozen young ones can survive in the area that only a pair could normally. They seem to hang around these places for a couple of years then go off and find territories when the urge comes upon them.

The other ringer is terrorist attacks. The talifucks will be flat out dismantling some of the attack helicopters left in afshitistan with a view to shipping them to the US, crossing the Southern border and then reassembling them and flying them into something. If that happens before the mid-terms biden won’t just be removed but shot. In which case the book should include which calibre will put him out of our misery.

The CCP is doing everything possible to reduce i/o imports, scaring off broker speculation and diversify their suppliers. That includes a heavier reliance on scrap recycling. It’s having the desired results. I/O prices are down $80/t or down 50% of the rise from the covid low. Another ~4% lower today. Unless we see massive pickup in i/o demand in the west, I think we are well into a bear mkt for i/o. And BHP won’t have any benefit from a pickup in crude either.

Yeah, JC, but the NPAT will be humungous on the new entity, which is of course partly why BHP just dumped out a $2 half-year div. Could you imagine BHP on a TSLA-style PE multiple? You’d need two extra digits in your floating point variable for the stock price.
Me either, I’m too disgusted to bother. So no idea.
I suspect there’ll be a recalc sometime soon as the pundits realize that cash profit means a whole lot more than market price. Unicorns fly then crash and burn all the time but cash cows like iron ore, coal, oil & gas and banks just keep on flowing great gushes of green stuff day after day. Well, Oz banks not Yank banks, but you get my drift.

Mark Latham on Credlin re Qantas and mandatory vaccinations. Latham made the point that only 30% of Qantas employees supported Joyce’s survey regarding vaccinating Qantas staff. He said no wonder the unions are questioning Joyce on this.
Latham also said he’s posted on his FB page a very detailed report on the rights of workers re this stuff – can anyone put that up? I’m not on FB. thank you, in advance.

Oil and gas probably heading the way of the smokes. Forget about market value, just bank the dividends. Can’t really do that as a fundie.

H B Bear says:
Nobody is allowed to win wars anymore.
Battles are not just won or lost kinetically, on the physical battlefield anymore.
To borrow someone else’s phrase, war is a competition for influence. Astute operators who can dominate the information space might score victories in the broader political sense against opponents with greater kinetic battlefield resources.

New Zealand to enter nationwide lockdown after detecting 1st local case for 170 days: “Do not talk to your neighbors.”

Madness.
They’ve only had 26 deaths from covid during 2020-21.
Prior to that the flu used to kill 500 NZers in a normal year.

On Credlin, Terry McCrann just said that NSW probably spent $100mill today to find out that around 100,000 people did not test positive.
Unbelievable.

The problem is this. They could go for a much higher NPAT with oil&gas but at the same time the markets are moving towards valuing fossil fuel assets towards zero. What do you do you do? What does the board say you need to do?
This is the problem. The firm may not be woke at all, but just afraid that fossil fuels will eventually be outlawed. To be honest, this is where I think we’re heading in the next 30 years. If that doesn’t happen, there will certainly be a lot of tension to make it happen. What value would place on fossil fuels in that sort of environment?
Look, and I stress that this isn’t my position as I don’t really give a shit. If we motor along with nuclear, we will reach a point where the would try to outlaw fossil fuels. Count on that.

If you’d been a contrarian on tobacco in 2000 and bought BAT, by 2010 you’d have made 1000% excluding dividends.
Will oil gas and coal companies go the same way?
I hope so.
