Potentially The New Cat – First Open Thread 31 July 2021

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.

    Just for the record, Gunner.
    The Wuhan labs in Chyna were built by, and are operated by GlaxoSmithKline.
    GlaxoSmithKline in turn are majority owned by Pfizer.
    Bill Gates is a major investor in both GlaxoSmithKLine and Pfizer (and Johnson and Johnson, the other major player in the great “vaccine” ripoff).

    Talk about a closed shop.

    The Decision To Use the Atomic Bomb by Louis Morton

    The Japanese Surrender

    On Tinian and Guam, preparations for dropping the bomb had been completed by 3 August. The original plan was to carry out the operation on 4 August, but General LeMay deferred the attack because of bad weather over the target. On 5 August the forecasts were favorable and he gave the word to proceed with the mission the following day. At 0245 on 6 August, the bomb-carrying plane was airborne. Six and a half hours later the bomb was released over Hiroshima, Japan’s eighth largest city, to explode fifty seconds later at a height of about 2,000 feet. The age of atomic warfare had opened.

    (Not to be confused with most of the “Black Nobility” crap on the net).

    Todays Black Nobility are the descendants of the royal and noble houses of Europe. Collectively they own and/or control much of the land, industry and commerce of the world.

    They are Malthusians by nature, and right now they are implementing their very own “final solution”.

    The Australian, Monday, August 2, 2021
    p.12 (Letters)

    I am a 78-year old widow who chose to exercise in the Sydney CBD on Saturday. I wore a sign saying “Not happy, Gladys”. I was alone, I am fully vaccinated and I was wearing a mask.
    I was stopped by police and asked what I was doing. I said I was exercising within 10km of my home. They told me I was not allowed to wear a sign while exercising. Both they and I were very respectful but I was arrested on the grounds that, as I did not normally exercise in the CBD, and was wearing a sign, I was protesting and not exercising.
    This is not the country that I grew up in. And the really sad thing is that there will be so many who have been intimidated into cringing cowardice and who will just say of me, “Stupid old biddy, serves her right for not just being obedient.”

    India was making widespread use of Ivermectin which kept their death rate, per capita, well below other countries but they stopped dispensing it on advice from the WHO.

    “Stage 2” then resulted, who can forget those endless nights of Covid-porn from the funeral pyres by the Ganges in their daily news.

    They went back to using Ivermectin, the death toll dropped quickly and dramatically, and the news readers remarked on this dramatic change, but never asked why.

    I recalled Bird had his own blog back in the day and it featured an almost transcendent level of words which at first reading seemed to flow at some level of meaning but which always on closer examination degenerated into a paranoiac stream of consciousness where the meaning was just flamboyant mania. And always that mania had as its only root in reality this grotesque antisemitism which filtered every other nominal subject.

    Rocinante – We know the Davos crowd are lefties. We know they believe in climate fairies. Bill Gates is quietly doing geoengineering projects. Many of them are into green tech in a big way, from renewables to EVs to carbon credits.

    If they have all decided amongst themselves that the world is about to end, if they do not act on Gaia’s hated gas CO2, what do you think they’d do? They know that the punters aren’t interested in what they’re evangelizing. Got to save the world even if it doesn’t want to be saved.

    Of course this is all rubbish, since there’s been effectively no global warming this century in the real world data. But they don’t know that, and they’re all scared of being cast out of the club.

    Apologies for the length.

    Ten years ago, QUT alumnus, Edda Hamar threw a fashion show which snow-balled into an annual, leading runway event for sustainable fashion around Australia. Passionate about reversing the climate crisis, she explains why being ‘difficult’, asking tough questions, and voicing your values at work is the catalyst for change.

    When you Google Image search the word ‘difficult’, it returns a range of frustrated people slumped over their desks. The Oxford Dictionary defines ‘difficult’ as “not easy, full of problems, causing a lot of trouble, and (of people) not easy to please or helpful”.

    Difficult by my definition is actually key to solving one of the biggest problems we face as a society, and is one of the most helpful things we can do to help save the planet.

    When I co-founded Undress Runways, I started questioning what kind of change could happen from within organisations. What if the employees at Burberry felt empowered, informed and resourced to speak up before their managers burned millions of dollars of old stock? What if H&M employees rallied together and said “No” to paying garment workers below a living wage.

    It’s not on employees to ensure CEOs make moral choices, but we must realise the power that we have as individuals to influence change.

    I’ve always been a pretty difficult employee; a challenger if you will. And this type of behaviour is achieving results.

    We’re starting to see more employees speak out on racial issues within their companies. For example, Leslieann speaking out against Reformation and companies responding to campaigns like #BeyondTheStatement.

    Last year’s Black Lives Matter protests set a new standard for Corporate America – companies were called to account by employees of colour. Companies like Pinterest, Facebook, and Adidas whose public statements and workplace cultures were misaligned, were forced to support their statements with new policies and actions that would actually create change.

    It’s time we see a similar uprising when it comes to holding our employers accountable for their environmental footprint. We can be the trojan horse of our time, dismantling the status quo from within.

    Employees can hold companies accountable for their actions, and their environmental footprint.

    While we are a generation of employees working for many of the companies that are responsible for the climate crisis, we also have an opportunity to work from the inside out.
    Time for action

    So how do we kickstart this change? It’s time for us to embrace being difficult.

    Here are three questions to ask your CEO:

    Do we know the environmental footprint of our company?
    What is the wage ratio between the highest paid employee and the lowest paid employee?
    In the 1960s, CEOs were paid around 20 times the typical worker’s pay. Today, that number is around 200 times the typical worker’s pay. That’s close to a 1000% increase. The gap between the rich and poor is growing.
    Where are our products made, who makes them, and are they being paid a living wage?

    If something doesn’t align with your values, seek answers. While it can be intimidating to ask tough questions, you can be the catalyst to kickstart a culture where questioning becomes the norm.

    It only takes one voice to trigger a cascading effect, to be the change we want to see in the world, and to spur action that will help our planet.
    More about Edda

    Edda Hamar completed a Bachelor of Business (Marketing)/Bachelor of Creative Industries (Television) and Master of Business at QUT. She’s spent the past ten years building businesses that tackle some of the biggest contributors to the key causes of environmental catastrophes. Edda is Co-founder and Director of Undress Runways and was listed as one of the 30 Social Entrepreneurs in The Arts by Forbes 30 Under 30 Asia in 2018.

    Yes, she’s gorgeous. I reckon the hubby murdered her. It’s really murky. The cops likely knew he did it but were never able to pin it on him.

    The only person who’d think she was so so looks wise, would be Cronkite as he’s a notorious homosexual who recently suggested Ashley Judd (in her youth) was average looking.

    She ended up a nut case but who thought about that then.

    A bit of Holywood trivia and talking Natalie Wood. The lass who played Plenty O’Toole was Lana, Natalie’s sister.

    You have to go Bird. You’re funny; but it’s like the humour in a Freddy Kruger movie; and you’re like agent Smith in the Matrix. You’ll just take over and it’ll be just Bird talking to Bird like at your blog which I’ll try to link to again. Some of your posts have a lot of comments but when you click on them it’s just you. I hope someone is looking after you Bird:

    “They would seem to have the highest kill shot coverage of any wealthy country. Which if true would mean that Israel would collapse as a country. So I wouldn’t hazard a guess as to what they are up to there.”

    Simplest explanation is that Israelis have fallen for the same germ theory/vaccine lunacy as everybody else.

    I’ve spent years trying to get people to understand that civilization is inconsistent with an intense fear of contagion. I’ve made inroads but those who understood were way too small in number to stop the juggernaut of COVID hysteria (only people who rejected the existence of the virus itself had any chance).

    The brainwashing on this issue is Jonestown times a million. You only have to look at my arguments with people here.

    Pro-vaxers: Polio! You never see it!

    Me: it’s clearly been renamed. Paralysis rates haven’t even fallen since the vaccine. And you can clearly see the diagnostic criteria has been strengthened.

    Pro-vaxers: but the germs are different!

    Me: How could doctors in 1900 have known that? How could it have ever been known unless the pathology was performed?

    Pro-vaxers: doctors would and have never ever confused polio with anything else!

    Me: Then how could there be differential diagnoses of polio? And what’s the point of lab testing?

    Pro-vaxers: Polio!!! You never ever see it!!!

    This is an argument I’ve had about a million times in my life. The indoctrination is extraordinary.

    The idea that there is a race of people where every member is somehow immune to the same mass hypnosis that 99.9 per cent of the world is under – including the most courageous and insightful thinkers – is preposterous.

    Sad yet true, Ruprecht. They can’t attract interest for their own misguided and inherently stupid points of view on their own sites, so they migrate to places like this one for the attention they so sorely crave.

    Liability Bob.
    Faulty.
    Grigs, in all its forms.

    Cut from the same cloth. Like junior Goths or fat overall-wearing purple-crew-cutted lesbians trying to be different and conform at the same time. They are tree-changers, moving to the bush because nobody likes them in the city, and then attempting to make the bush the same as the city that hates them.

    Of course, deep down in their hearts they’re insecure. That’s what drives them.

    Ruprecht is clearly not an Essendon supporter. His views on flat versus pitched roofs have yet to be determined, though.

    So I also worked out that I can’t access this tasty little site from my work at the secret agent millionaire gigolo astronaut company. I mean hot dog stand.

    The machine there tells me I can’t look at it because it’s a ‘recently registered’ site.

    The phone and the, er, other arrangement will have to do.

    It reminds me of Captain Hook and the lost boys or David Bowie as the Goblin king, bored with mentoring a small coterie of halfwits.

    Yet. Didn’t you see Mark Latham’s release about the vaccine passport? It may come yet, and soon.

    Please, please look at the presentation above on Entrust. I would be willing to lay odds that this will be our keeper too, if we let it happen. Here’s the link again –

    DrBG, I’ve looked at the problem to no avail. Apparently, Locals allows you to view but not comment or post unless you’re a supporter. This sucks.

    Try looking at at PJW’s or VivaBarnes communities at Locals and let me know over at substack or here whether Locals might still be worth a look at least in the future.
