Potentially The New Cat – First Open Thread 31 July 2021

Posted on July 30, 2021 by Adam D

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.

    Not a problem Struth,
    I just feel uncomfortable when complete strangers asking me rather personal questions.

    The world is full of D_heads, we can agree on that.

    That needs to be pushed out everywhere.
    They’ll bury it otherwise.

    Re. cats (the feline ones) I never understood, the need to rescue cats from trees.

    If they can go up they can come down, give them time.
    In my opinion, they are attention seeking or at the bottom of the IQ class of the cat world.

    From the Zero Hedge article:

    The globalists have set in motion an end game – It could be an end game for us, but it also could be an end game for them. They are on a strict timeline.

    Indeed. Buckle up.

    This is an ADMISSION by the CDC that since Feb 2020 the ‘covid stats’ have been a total fabrication.

    Dot, I’ve given that link to some posters on another blog who are rabid pro-vax, pro lockdown, pro government control advocates.
    I’ll let you know if they can come up with any factual rebuttals or if the enormity of the truth hits ’em hard.

    This is a CDC notice to all labs to stop using the Feb 2020 RT-PCR test and switch to a multiplexed method that can distinguish between various Covid viruses and influenza.

    The way I read that is different. I think it means that CDC is switching to using a test that will scan for BOTH flu and Covid, rather than just Covid. The aim of doing so if course is that as Covid numbers wanes, a new ‘dangerous’ disease will have to emerge in order to justify masks, lockdowns, vax upgrades, and of course the one Ring to rule the all, the vax passport.

    Twostix:
    “Judging by the behaviour of public health and governments around the world at the moment – who seem increasingly hysterical about the virus in exact correlation to how many people are vaccinated, that may well be something they’re worried about.”
    Having managed to ‘vaccinate’ all the provaxxers and the easily swayed, the only ones left to be given the injection are the antiWZV vaccine holdouts.
    The Lords and Masters are now running into stiffening resistance, and along with the growing demands for vote recounts in the US, crowds protesting in the streets of Christendom, etc, it is beginning to look as if the bosses went too early and are now in the position of the apprentice cook with his fingers in the mincing machine – they only have one option and it’s gonna hurt.

    Just file your ‘toons Tom, by the time you posted 4 or five the 1st one should appear.

    The server is not slow, don’t know the reason for the delay, unless auto moderation to remove unwanted content?

    Ps, copy your email addy to a text editor and cut and paste for the time being a bit faster and no mistakes.

    The difference in us knowing the tests are bullshit but the fact is the CDC has admitted it.
    This information needs to be pushed. ..agreed?
