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.
Michael Smith News is running with the story of an elderly man in Queensland, being arrested not not wearing a mask – it seems he had an exemption. While being arrested he suffered a seizure, and went into cardiac arrest…..

Allan Ballard, a friend of a friend, has started a petition to the Queensland Government on the subject of the PCR test.
https://www.parliament.qld.gov.au/work-of-assembly/petitions/petition-details?id=3589
Evidence required by the people of Queensland from the Queensland Government about the efficacy of PCR tests
Eligibility – Queensland residents
TO: The Honourable the Speaker and Members of the Legislative Assembly of Queensland
Queensland residents draws to the attention of the House that there is overwhelming evidence that the Reverse Transcription Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR) test (PCR test) to detect SARS-CoV-2 is seriously flawed and not fit for purpose.
1. On 21 July 2021, the U.S. CDC announced that after 31 December 2021, it will withdraw the PCR test to diagnose SARS-CoV-2.
2. The Corman-Drosten Review Report shows that beyond a cycle threshold of 35, the PCR test becomes useless as it detects past, latent viruses which no longer pose a threat. Further, the probability of a false positive result is 97% at 35 cycles or higher.
3. World experts are calling for an end to PCR testing which produces high false positives, resulting in flawed “case” numbers being used to justify the violation of human rights and the destruction of economies.
4. Kary Mullis inventor of the PCR test stated it is “incapable of diagnosing disease” as it cannot distinguish between inactive and reproductive viruses.
Your petitioners, therefore, request the House to call upon the Chief Health Officer (CHO), to provide the people of Queensland within 30 days of the presentation of this petition:
1) the cycle threshold of the PCR test in Queensland
2) the irrefutable evidence used to justify the use of PCR test and its threshold
3) the future of the PCR test in Queensland, given the CDC announcement.

Erm, this is unethical. It’s laid out in all those declarations that you can’t share private medical history for research without consent.

I find it extremely telling how comfortable every states ‘Ooman rites” mob has been over the last year and a half with the suspension of civil liberties.
There have been token whines if a person of dusky extraction appears inconvenienced but otherwise they see no problems with blanket restrictions on people hundreds of km from “ hotspots” based on nothing more than they live in the same state.
They have made the case for their destruction and their replacing with institutions fit for purpose.
If there was ever a reckoning for the idiocy of the last year we would have to ban anybody who has attended a university from the public service, outside a few specialist areas the jobs should be done by dull plodders, not our “ best and brightest”.
Imagine the boost to the economy if we unleashed all that pent up pubic serpent talent upon an unsuspecting jobs market.

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?
Dunno Makka, let me ask him.
JC says that the vax was brought out because ( at the time) the characteristics of the Chinese lab virus necessitated an urgent fix and even now the trade-off shows it was good risk/reward. He says it was excellent risk management.
Makka, for some reason, JC also told me to tell you that you’re a hammerhead…. Whatever that means. You have to take that up with him.
He also says that you need to get over your mental bias against large corporations because it causes you to delve into conspiracy bullshit. He reckons you’re better than that and he’s at a loss to understand why you’re such an idiot about this.
Makka, don’t get upset with me as I’m just the go between.

When Israel’s death rates start climbing, ill start worrying about the effectiveness of the vaccines.
lol, “I don’t care if the product I had injected works as advertised, it’s a good one and I’ll be looking forward to getting it every year for the rest of my life too!”.
Back in reality, after pretending these vaccines are magical one off things, Chant bravely goes where no other ‘health’ official dared to go in Australia yet and announced ‘booster’ shots will be required for years. Meaning that any vaccine passport system they implement will tell you to get vaccinated on command in order to stay ‘compliant’, and if you don’t, you will get the big red cross and will be treated like one of those un-vaccinated peasants until you do.
Life as a junky.
Prediction rate so far: 100%.

Because it’s not. As of now there are three possible outcomes –
1) – Full implementation of a totalitarian Fascist state (planned)
2) – Violent riots with politicians, journalists, senior bureaucrats and others dragged into the streets and hanged from lampposts while police and army look on
3) – All out armed insurrection

“I have a grandson who is sceptical by nature, from a small tot. Inherited the gene? But also a granddaughter who is far more scholastic, but also very very woke. Who will prevail?”
One of the joys of parenting is teaching your children to be skeptical.
One of the most enduring memories I have is when at the ages of 8 and 7, we were shopping in Colesworths and going past the freezer section. I called the girls over and said – “Remember when I said I’d get you a bunny each?”
“Yes dad.” The eldest looked a bit skeptical.
“Well here you go!” and I plucked a couple of frozen rabbits from the freezer.
They both looked at me, looked at the frozen rabbits, then looked at each other.
“Now you’ll have to keep their fur nice and brushed for them.”
Eldest – had been a wake up to me for some time now, replied “They’ve got no fur.”
Youngest adds “Got no guts either.”
“Mum! Dads being mean again!”
Then they both thumped me.
Priceless memories.

Ah, there you are. Still shilling hard for Big Pharma I see. Until it’s fully understood what all the risks are, it’s impossible to compute any kind of reward. Risks will not be known for years yet. So on this you are clueless. Any analysis now is really a roll of the dice. Which is fine but dressing the gamble up as some kind of statistical analysis is being deceitful. Not you necessarily, but certainly the Govt propaganda machines supported by their Big Pharma billion $ marketing brethren.

“don’t forget sinc was a bit of a lefty & never forget he thought trumble was potential greatness & never ever backed down from that stupidity.”
I think that Sinkers was having a bit of a laugh with that “potential greatness” claim. He was right, when Turnbull was PM, he had the “potential” to become the greatest PM, however unlikely that was.
Similarly, Sinkers could now say that Kim il Morrison could “potentially” become Australia’s greatest PM, though the likelihood of this eventuating is highly unlikely. Still, while he is PM, the “potential” still exists.
“Potential” relates to a future state regardless of how likely or unlikely that state may be achieved when viewed from the present.

Rocinante is the name of Don Quixote’s horse. And like Quixote himself it is old, worn out, and prone to making somewhat errratic decisions.

JC, I’m willing to cut the world governments some slack in approving the emergency vaccines in the context of a frankly ugly virus emanating from (the lab of) the West’s biggest enemy.
BUT, their determination to bag every repurposed drug therapy suggested and researched looks to me like they chose willingly to cut deals with the big pharmaceutical companies and even with whoever funded the research for AZ at Oxford.
We know that contracts were signed that preempted available drugs being promoted. That is just panicky weakness and short-sightedness from people who have an enormous responsibility to millions of people.

Ah, there you are. Still shilling hard for Big Pharma I see.
Makka, JC told me to tell you that even for you that’s a really cheap shot with zero weight.
Until it’s fully understood what all the risks are, it’s impossible to compute any kind of reward.
JC says that’s a motherhood statement and not fit for a person purporting to posses a high IQ. JC says, we can never know what all the risks and it is possible to “impute” risk reward with current (always limited) information. If that information changes, JC says, we may need to recompute risk/reward again. JC says, no biggie.
Risks will not be known for years yet..
JC says that’s crap Makka, and if we followed that advice we wouldn’t have gotten out of the caves. We have a decent idea of the long term risks, because we’re able to estimate risk with vaccines to some reasonable degree in the past.
So on this you are clueless. Any analysis now is really a roll of the dice. Which is fine but dressing the gamble up as some kind of statistical analysis is being deceitful..
Makka, JC says you’re being an idiot again and told me tell you this and asked you to adsorb the above.
Not you necessarily, but certainly the Govt propaganda machines supported by their Big Pharma billion $ marketing brethren.
Again, Makka I’m sorry in having to repeat this, but JC is telling me to tell you to calm the fuck down and stop being a whiny little bitch.
According to JC, millions upon millions of vaxes have been jabbed and it’s not a holocaust.
