Hi Cats,
As you can see I have created a copy of the Cat for you to continue to bicker, argue and occasionally make a reasonable point.
I do hope a solution is found with the original Cat but just in case Sinc doesn’t want to transfer the site to a new generation I have built a replica before the closure so we can migrate as many of the community across as possible.
Programming Note: I rushed out the site so there will be bugs. I can get them fixed but did not want perfection to get in the way for progress.
Community Note: Please let as many cats know of the new blog as soon as possible so we can capture the magic of the original. In particular would love for the original posters to continue their great work here.
Ideological Note: I am an infrequent poster but long time reader of the Cat. The discussions there have been a huge part of my own ideological growth on many issues. In particular free speech is key for me so will have a very similar light touch to the original Cat, potentially adopting my one policy on an earlier forum I built: “No D***heads” which is subjective but surprisingly easy to implement.
Website Note: I will run the Cat as close to possible as the original because I don’t believe in re-inventing the wheel. However if the community so wants I am happy to make changes to improve the experience so if you have any ideas let me know. For anything specific hit me up at the contact form, else go nuts in the comments.
“I’m out.”
What do you mean? Don’t go away.

The only solution available now short of street riots and armed insurrection is next election (assuming there is one), number the sitting member last in the HoR, if they represent the Liberal, Labor or National parties. Number whoever you like number one, and list preferences in whatever way you choose, just so long as the sitting Liberal, labor or National is LAST.
I sympathise with this view but it ignores the fact there are some very good sitting LNP members:
Matt Canavan

Now, it may be that they will cave and sell out their members. But at least they are going through the motions.

“Tokyo Olympics: Blunder as Ukrainian shoots opponent’s target”
The West Australian
Tue, 3 August 2021 9:56AM
Rory Coleman-Heard
A Ukrainian shooter has made one of the more remarkable blunders in recent Olympic history – shooting at his opponent’s target.
Serhiy Kulish, the 10m air rifle silver medallist in Rio and world No. 2 had cruised into the 50m air rifle final and was well-placed in fourth with 30 shots fired when his promising campaign capitulated.
Kulish fired at the wrong target, receiving zero points.
He was later eliminated in eighth having entered the event with high hopes of standing on the podium.
A frank self-appraisal followed.
“I am not happy,” Kulish fumed. “Who shoots someone else’s target? Only people like me.”
Kulish blamed the mishap on a wardrobe malfunction, which caused him to lose concentration just before shooting.
“The button on my jacket came undone and I felt some discomfort but time passed and I had to make a shot, so I didn’t notice I was aiming at someone else’s target,” he said.

What I am stating clearly and firmly is that the Liberal, Labor and national Parties have well and truly sold us up shit Creek. They have done this with the full cooperation of the rank and file elected members of those parties.

If they proposed that aged care workers should have a rapid antigen test EVERY day before entering the centres, I would whole heartedly agree – even though the test itself is far from infallible. In fact, such workers should be PCR tested regularly- even though again, the PCR itself is not infallible (far from it).

Since 2016, this register has tracked all vaccinations given to everyone in Australia.
In our research, we have just discovered that there are plans to use this data to inform State Governments of who is and is not vaccinated for the purposes of bringing in a vaccine passport within the next 2 months.
What we were no aware of is the fact that we can opt-out of allowing the government to share our data with any third party including sharing it with the States (it is currently held by the Federal Government) or whomever will win the tender to operate the passport system.

It is a common misconception among conservatives that libertarians are lefties. A similar misconception is often held by the same people about the teachings of Jesus Christ.

We’re now living in a post-modern medical world where vaccination against a disease does not prevent you from both acquiring and passing on that disease.
In other words, the vaccine doesn’t work, but, hey *wink wink* it may stop the virus from killing you if you roll the dice.
We can’t tell the truth about this disaster because science has been politicised by a ruling class that requires the proletariat to be in dumb compliance with its proclamations from on high.

We need to give this vax stuff a little bit of a chance and demonstrate some patience. The vaxes do work well against the initial Covid while it’s problematic with the new strain. This is entirely within the bounds of reasonableness.
It was a massive effort to get these vaxes out in about a year. Technically and logistically, it’s possibly more complex that the moon shots of the 60s. The yellow headed oaf was at the center of getting the vax to the folks and for this alone – leaving aside the rest – he will be considered a great president in the future.
We’ve now figured out the foundations of the vax and we’ll quickly begin to see the booster shots etc like we do with flu.

Practicing Science While Believing and Acting Upon the Scriptures
(Dr. James Tour – 12/18/20)
*** https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5McHUjo1d2s ***
In a joint meeting of NCS New Canaan, NCS Austin, NCS Houston and NCS Sugar Land, Dr. James Tour shares a powerful and convicting message about the importance of meditating daily on God’s word and then actually believing and acting upon Scripture. Pointing to various Biblical passages, including Psalm 1:1-3, he emphasizes the words DAILY (not just three days) and MEDITATING (not just reading).
But this is far from just a theological or theoretical lesson. Through numerous stories, Dr Tour shares vulnerably about the practical and miraculous ways in which his life, his behavior and his career as a world-renowned scientist and teacher have been guided, changed and blessed by meditating on Scripture, believing what God says and then acting in faith upon that belief.
Dr. Tour is also far from just a theoretical or academic scientist. His work has led to numerous breakthroughs, patents and products, and Dr. Tour starts his talk by describing (and showing) some of the extraordinary developments he has led in the field of nanotechnology.
In a rich and extended Q&A, Dr. Tour addresses a wide array of questions dealing with topics such as: how, as a Messianic Jew, he came to a faith in Jesus; the COVID vaccine; artificial intelligence; nanotechnology; the challenges of being a scientist who speaks openly about his faith in Jesus; his weekly Bible study attended by people around the world; and the ethics of “Human 2.0”.

I do. I believe there are dangers with the vaxes and people have died. There are times however, when decisions have to be made through difficult trade-offs and this is one time.
The US authority VAERS (?) have suggested around 6300 cases of problematic deaths that could have been caused by the vaxes. Assume 50% of those cases could be attributable vax.
When you get to this, risk reward is on the side of vaxing middle and older people at least.

Gina Rinehart’s personal wealth has taken another leap into the stratosphere thanks to China’s insatiable appetite for WA’s red dirt.
But the mining mogul will also be sharing the riches with the high-vis heroes helping to run her Roy Hill operation through the company’s Chairman’s Profit Share Scheme.
Speaking at the annual Diggers & Dealers Mining Forum in Kalgoorlie-Boulder this morning, Roy Hill’s new chief executive Gerhard Veldsman said reward and recognition were high priorities for the company.
“We’re really fortunate to have Mrs Rinehart as our executive chairman and from the early days on she’s actually supported the program where we share the profits that goes back to our employees,” Mr Veldsman said.
“To put it in perspective, this year of you’re a truck driver or process plant operator in Roy Hill your bonuses over the year will be 50 per cent of your pay salary. “

“and fill in the form IM017.”
It’s worth noting that on page 2 of the form, under ‘Privacy Notice’ (section 8) it says (second paragraph) –
“Your information may be used by the Department, or given to other parties: where you have agreed to that; or where it is required or authorised by law (including for the purpose of research or conducting investigations).”
In other words – it can be used or given to other parties where you say so OR where we say so.
Kind of negates the purpose of the form, does it not?

Recorded on March 30, 2021
Dr. Stephen Meyer directs the Center for Science and Culture at the Discovery Institute in Seattle. He returns to Uncommon Knowledge with Peter Robinson to discuss his newest book, Return of the God Hypothesis: Three Scientific Discoveries That Reveal the Mind Behind the Universe. In this wide-ranging and often mind-bending interview, Dr. Meyer explains the God Hypothesis; makes his continuing and evolving case for intelligent design; describes how Judeo-Christian theology gave rise to science; discusses why the discovery of DNA is actually an enigma, as its existence cannot be explained by natural selection; and more.

Five minutes ago: These completely new experimental ‘vaccines’ are tried, tested and completely safe and 98% effective and totally well understood you anti-vaxxer retard.
Five minutes later: “You’ll need booster shots starting this year because this vaccine has unexpectedly already been beaten by mutations so get used to it you anti-vaxxer retard!”.
They’re reading the marketing provided to them by Pfizer and pretending its Science!(tm). This is a something that public health regularly does.

Host Eric Metaxas and Oxford professor John Lennox explore the question, “Has science buried God?” — discussing the fine-tuned universe, evolution, logic, history, and more! “It’s like we’re an old Vaudeville team” says Metaxas, who eggs the legendary Lennox into retelling his equally legendary roast chicken anecdote. The interview was hosted by the Colson Center and took place in Washington D.C., in May 2019.

Has JC worked out why we are being steamrolled with the experimental vax, Big Pharma $ fraud, Govt oppression and freedom “incentives” yet? Or is he still willfully dumb to what’s been going on for the last 1 1/2 years?
