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.

    And then I saw the August,2020 Wuhan Pool Rave.
    ————————————-
    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.

    Ultimately, the same people who have been calling the shots for the past thousand years, Gunner. These days they are loosely known as “The Black Nobility”.
    (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’s case spike and drop are ridiculous. In around 60 days?? There is no way the vaxxes achieved this over hundreds of millions of people. What then?”

    Ivermectin.

    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.

    Bird’s blog:

    https://graemebird.wordpress.com/

    Other people he has impressed; and it is with some sadness I link to these pompous alarmists; but on reflection I think Bird’s scepticism is merely an offshoot of his antisemitism. Some of the exchanges are quite witty:

    Mushroom at 6.44, that is a comment that many would agree with and many would not agree with. It is not anti-Semitic.

    Your other comments above are a disgrace to the blog. You cannot seem to control yourself from making them, and at the very least these comments should be immediately removed for as Tom points out, they are illegal anti-Semitic slanders.

    You have been given a chance to come on here and be only mildly crazy. But I think you have blown that chance, because you will break loose again with criminal stuff. Sensible people depart when you start with this stuff.

    I too will call it a night here now. Just as Cassie and Delta have done. You made Nilk’s blog a pit of disgrace for a while. This is a new Cat and we don’t want it here.

    You have no place on this blog, Graeme. I have suggested to Adam on the Fixes post that he look at this issue which caused Sinc so much of a problem too. If others want this issue addressed then comment to Adam about fixing it on that post.
